I can understand how you would have felt after your interview with the hedge fund. During my college placements, I cleared the written programming round as well as the technical round interview with an international company (Non-FAANG but their salary package was quite high when compared to other companies visiting the campus).

I went in for the final round with the HR team, and conversation went well until they asked if I got placed for another company that had visited the campus earlier. I replied "No, I was not eligible to attend the interview since I had an existing arrear due to a failed lab exam.". They immediately cut the interview short, and later I was informed that I was rejected. I could have just given any other answer and gotten away with it, because I would have cleared that exam before I had to join the company.

I think GP is pointing out that most people who own an ICE vehicle aren't used to having any limits on refueling their vehicle. If they need to take a long trip they just go. In the vast majority of the country there's a gas station at basically every interstate exit and refilling the tank takes 5 minutes.

All of a sudden with an EV you most likely need to plan your route around charging stations and allow for charging time. This isn't to say that EV's are bad or that they should be avoided - simply that most people don't think about these things in advance and may be surprised the first time they take a long trip with an EV.
Would love to see a demo integrating this with an IDE for either voice to code or for voice commands to navigate menus. I think the killer application would layer voice and traditional input rather than replace.
One of the companies I worked for tried to avoid NDAs whenever it could. They were apparently full of retarded requirements like giving the customer full access to all of our systems for security review on demand, which of course is at odds with every other NDA requiring us not to share the information on those systems.

I am not sure how lawyers can write these requirements without noticing how impossible they are. Then again I had to can a project that was signed of by the lawyers of at least three different companies, the software licenses involved made it impossible to build a commercial or open source project from it (GPL, AGPL and at least two conflicting commercial ones). So it might just be that they have as much understanding of technology as I have of Chinese.

I love that you threw in some completely unnecessary information into that short comment to virtue signal that you aren't evil like all the pickup truck drivers are.
Thanks for the info. That's pretty much what I figured. Short of working from home there's not much that could be done, it wouldn't even be fair to ask everyone in the office to be quiet as a mouse just because Joe and Bob have misophonia. Thankfully I love working from home, so hopefully I'll just be able to swing a fully remote situation even if things return to being office-based

VC = generate high returns for LPs. Not protection of money, but seeking high returns. Not necessarily protection from innovation unless their investment is threatened by it.

I see what you are trying to say but misworded it. Their goal is to generate high returns instead of innovation. If innovation will generate returns then they will invest. Their role is the riskier are the higher percentage earning investments in a portfolio for an endowment (historically).

That said angels can only do the front end very high risk of the investment curve. They can’t carry the company to fruition.
I rented one last fall, and they have a mostly electronic pick up and return process now. The biggest delay was getting the keys when I went to the gas station to get the van. I waited ~5 minutes in line for the cashier, and then she had to call somebody from the back.

The return was easy.. just take a few pics on my phone as part of their return process, and then drop the keys in a drop box.
I love the ad images. This is a great example on how to run traffic to new sources. Good to keep track of experiments and make a monthly running log, I would subscribe to that.
Sounds great. Accommodating differences while acknowledging that most people want to do good work on resonant, meaningful tasks means caring for employees so they have fewer distractions on the way to autonomy, mastery, and purpose.

At least for my use cases, I think Ford actually has an edge over Autopilot. Any car with adaptive cruise control and autosteering is gonna behave identically to a Tesla with autopilot for 99% of the time behind the wheel. Ford doesn't do lane changes or summoning, but from what I've seen both of those features have some jank with Tesla and I wouldn't use them.

The big pro of Ford's system is that on some highways/freeways the cruise control is actually hands free. IIRC Teslas have torque sensors in the steering wheel to make sure that your hands don't wander.
> the former staff believe he only owns the name, trademark, and potentially the website/domain

That's my reading too but apparently the staff did hand over the network on their way out. So now freenode is apparently actually consolidated into the Freenode Limited company with both the name/DNS/trademark and the network itself. The legal situation behind those moves is not public and is probably the only thing left to be known.
I expect that after the first month the truck-driving Americans will turn cannibal and eat the Subaru-driving Americans.

This is a true point, but it applies to SUV's as well as trucks. This is more an argument for moving to a sedan-dominated fleet than an argument against trucks... but good luck: in the USA, SUVs and trucks are two very hot market segments.

I'm in a neighborhood with a ton of construction and remodeling. Here step vans, sprinters, and the like are very clearly much more popular with construction workers. Much easier to keep tools organized and securely locked and even more capacity than a truck bed.

Did it ever occur to you that maybe someone had looked into this before? Actually, lots of someones with PHDs have and find the opposite of you. Not only that companies are staking $10Bs on developing EVs, do you think they haven't looked at this either? Does that make you curious enough to read what they have written and see if perhaps your napkin model might not be accurate or are you content to be secure in your conclusion?

They are dual lands with basic land types without any abilities (other than the mana abilities they inherit from their basic land types) which also means without any drawbacks. They're just "Swamp Forest", "Mountain Forest", "Island Swamp", etc. See here:

https://mtg.fandom.com/wiki/Dual_land

And they are literally what their type lines say. So you basically get two lands with a basic type for the price of one (i.e. one card, or one land drop; card and tempo advantage, 2-in-1). Their only limitation is that they are not basic lands so they are subject to the restriction of number of copies per deck (4, in most formats).

Every dual land created subsequently has some kind of drawback or limitation (other than the number of copies restriction): "Enters the battlefield tapped", paying some amount of life or taking damage, sacrificing a permanent, discarding a card (I think), printed as bouble-faced card, and so on.
I've essentially made my career with CSS. I've been hired solely because of my CSS skills.

That sucks. I can imagine next generation operating systems improving on Unix technically (standing on the shoulders of giants, yo), but establishing standards a la POSIX will be extremely difficult. It's hard to fight against the interest of platform vendors to lock their users in.
You are correct. There are actually quite a few different configurations available on AWS alone - not to mention most cloud providers are very different. What works on one instance type on AWS won't immediately run on Azure without additional drivers.

Google Cloud is probably the most friendly one for hobby osdev cause they are based on KVM.

For instance when starting with https://github.com/nanovms/nanos (whom I'm with) we targeted the t2 instances first and it actually took a longer time to come up with support for some of the newer t3 instances because we had to add ENA and NVMe drivers.
You basically need a resistor with the value of the impedance of the antenna, and a wattage and airflow sufficient to dissipate whatever power is being dumped into it (or several resistors in parallel whose heat dissipation adds up to the value you need).

There's no real standard for cellular antennas as there is for many other types of radios (as far as I know, not that I would / can find in some brief looking). Most stuff I'm familiar is 50ohm or 75ohm. E.g., wifi antennas are generally 50ohm. If you made me pick a resistor to put on there without being able to test anything first, I'd pick a 50ohm/5W. But you might burn your electronics up.

So your two main unknowns are the impedance and wattage.

Solving for wattage is probably best just done with Google. The power output should be fairly standardized. Assume the transmitter's going to go into its highest power mode when it realizes it can't find anyone to talk to and then leave yourself some headroom on top of that. On a very brief look, most sources put LTE at about a half a watt, but other techs at up to 3-4W. For the price of resistors and assuming these will end up mounted somewhere without great airflow, I'd probably just throw two 5W resistors at it.

Solving for impedance is going to be a bit more challenging. If you're lucky, an off-the-shelf antenna _may_ be marked with the frequency ranges and impedance. Otherwise, measuring impedance generally requires some more specialized tools. You could pick up something like the NanoVNA2 to do the measurements yourself (they're not the best, but likely close enough for what you're doing and cheap relative to the other options), or try getting in touch with your local ham radio group and ask if anyone has an antenna analyzer to analyze a cellular antenna (impedance is at a given frequency, so they need an analyzer that covers up to at least around the 1GHz range, which are less common than one for HF which is only covering up to a few dozen MHz) and could analyze an antenna for you.

Then just hop on Digikey/Mouser/etc, grab some resistors and a SMA or whatever other connector would plug in in place of the antenna and get to soldering.

Disclaimer: Amateur radio guy, not RF engineer. It's been years since I actually used any of this information in any significant way. This could all be entirely wrong.
I think what people miss is that once you have a truck, all sorts of things happen that you wouldn't have bothered if you didn't have the truck, because the hassle is removed.
Specifically the denial of man made global climate change.

I am libertarian and conservative leaning, although, modern day "conservatives" are far from conservative in any sense of the word. For example, true conservatives advocated for abortion rights, because the government has no business regulating what a citizen can do to their body.

TLDR; I will never side with a party that insanely denies climate change.
48-bit numbers. "The internal format of a single-precision floating-point number consisted of one unused bit, followed by the sign of the number, then the sign of the exponent, then a six-bit exponent, then 39-bit mantissa. The bias of the exponent was such that it could be considered to be in excess-32 notation as long as the mantissa was considered to be a binary integer instead of a binary fraction. This allowed integers to also be interpreted as unnormalized floating-point numbers."[1]

So there was only one numeric format at the hardware level. Convenient.

That is interesting. I wonder if that is why Ford got rid of their small pickup (The Ford Ranger) for several years from 2012 until 2020.

It did come back last year, probably after meeting new regulation requirements.
Transparent?

The price they show you include "fuel savings" and tax rebates you may not be eligible to. The situation is better now but you had to go out of your way to get the real price.

You don't really know what the "full self driving" package is about. Hint: it is not fully driving itself. It is an improved "autopilot" that may get to full self driving in the future, no guarantee.

And I've just saw an "engineering explained" video about how they put deceiving numbers for acceleration.

They use all the marketing tricks in the book and then some more.

But they really nailed down the "tech" part. It is almost like something from Google or Apple. They are smart enough not to put any obstacle if you are ready to spend your money.
Yes, those insults are so incredibly nonsensical.

I bought a truck for two reasons. Hauling the occasional thing around (having a home makes this happen more than I had initially thought) and it fits 6 (we just had our last child in January).

I WFH so it's lower fuel economy is a non-issue to us.

It has literally _nothing_ to do with "feeling big" or any compensation thing. I had no idea how much I'd use the utility until I bit the bullet and purchased one.

I'm incredibly excited for the F-150 Lightning because I am a perfect candidate for it.
It’s incredible how much of tech is just scalping.

I’m curious what loopholes exist for this - if you charge for coupons on your own site and a hosted space required a coupon but was otherwise not possible to use, would you still have to pay Apple?
Japan isn't keeping people home. Restaurants are open (till 8pm). People are commuting in crowded trains, etc... I walk by the restaurants and cafes and they're plenty busy.

If you had no plans to take over operations, then what was your argument about decentralization, and what was your "plan forward" that you spent "considerable time preparing"?
Certainly. It's super reasonable to think that they might matter and to investigate that approach; it's unreasonable to take as an axiom that they matter and use that as proof of other facts.
That’s a 4wd E450, it’s the most powerful of the standard range! hardly a “base e-class”… which would be an E200

Of course the E450 is going to get atrocious mileage, it’s a V6 turbocharged luxury car
> I have a 2004 Toyota Tacoma that I love, and it would be amazing with a frunk, but you can't really get small pickups that size anymore

You're not kidding! I was in the market for a small pickup and checked out the Tacoma and Frontier, which I previously understood to be "small" trucks. They're massive these days, just like the F-150! I guess it's perceived that there's no market for that size any more.

A small electric pickup would be a super handy thing to have around, potentially appealing to urbanites too since they can toss their groceries in the frunk. There's really no reason the frunk needs to be so big on the F-150 Lightning - that part of the design is really a head scratcher.
OP stated the sponsor pulled the box after they no longer wanted to support freenode. How would the former staff have handled that more professionally? Begging the sponsor not revoke access?

If I were a sponsor who found out a project I was donating resources to was taken over under questionable circumstances by someone with deep pockets I'd have done the same.

Tangeltial, but for me firefox on linux is rock solid. A good while ago as a halfway test I stopped closing tabs to see how ff would perform. Up to around 5500 tabs now, daily driver, amassing my own personal internet so still using old tabs, still not a single crash!

Although new tabs starts feeling like they would be quicker to open with 5490 other tabs less. Who knew.

I guess my biggest finding is that tab and history search suck. Half of what I end up searching for is one of my tabs. I wonder why..
I wake up at 6:30am and feed my cats. Then I sit in a comfortable chair with my journal and Bible and stare out the window and I journal and contemplate and read and write and pray.

I used to do this with coffee, but I found the caffeine was actually shifting my energy window forward, even shortening it. Now I'll do calisthenics and spend a few minutes outside, taking deep breaths, if I need to wakeup before I sit down.

The amount of time varies, depending on what's going on in my life. I may spend more time journaling, note taking, reading, or just staring out the window and chewing on the thought. I have sessions that last fifteen minutes and others that last three hours.

Specific thread that I had read at the time is https://community.turingtumble.com/t/crossovers-dont-work-or...

While my memory is fuzzy, it was indeed crossovers which caused majority of undeterminism, at least in the set I had. There are some alternative 3d-printable implementations if you walk by the links there. I didn't try.
UHaul rentals are painful, but Home Depot has a truck rental program that is relatively painless if you can deal with the no reservations policy. I've done some fairly substantial remodel projects without owning a truck.
If OP is out in montana, most fun things are going to need a pickup.

Offroading, boating, horseback riding, dealing with snow, hauling firewood. Sure, you can get a 4x4 SUV like a 4runner but just get a dang truck. lol
You'd need a study that actually looked at more than just "what happens if you hit a pedestrian at 25 mph" - because it's quite possible that a truck does more damage when it hits, but hits less often because it's higher up and has better visibility.
Has anyone found a way to enable receive side scaling on Raspberry Pi 4?

I'm working on a project recently and the main bottleneck I'm seeing is that all eth0 interrupts go to a single core, and that core gets swamped with interrupts until it can't handle them anymore and ksoftirqd maxes out at 100% usage on a single core.

This seriously hurts the throughput. I know with RSS I would be able to distribute the eth0 hardware interrupts into 4 queues, with each queue being balanced by irqbalance onto it's own core.

However, in all my searching it appears that the Raspberry Pi hardware/driver is not capable of receive side scaling, and can only put eth0 interrupts into a single queue.

I would love to be told otherwise, if anyone else has found a workaround for this.
Also:

Please use a serif font for large blocks of text. Why do you think The New York Times uses a serif font for body text? It is more readable. Can you imagine NYT in a sans-serif font? It would be ugly and harder to read. Sans-serif fonts are good for headlines and small snippets of text. On low res screens sans-serif fonts may be more readable even for body text, but 96dpi screens are relics of the past at this point.

Even more important: Don't add inter-character spacing for body text. It just makes the text harder to read. I am looking at you, Microsoft Edge. Edge has a "Immersive Reader" button for rendering web pages with just the text and important photos. Great feature, but the font they use has too much gap between individual characters, which makes the text hard to read. And better readability is he point of Immersive Reader! Then they added themes to change the background color, but you can't change the font.
