Yep, that's what we did.

But then let's say you have mobile apps as well, built with Cordova. What collective term would you use for your Desktop and Mobile apps?

It is certainly a bit verbose to specify every platform so I don't think that is a viable option.
Other people doing research etc. need GPUs. If rich people started to hoard all food or ffp masks, shops would intervene first (they did during the hoarding last year) and the government would follow if that wouldn't help.
How do such small objects maintain their atmospheres?

Also, to remain in a stable orbit, wouldn't the spin force have to match the gravity of the star? So there would be no effective force left to provide gravity would there? (Similar to how people on the ISS are weightless despite still being within earth's gravity well).
I've found the shows on HGTV to be so universally shallow that I think their role is to entirely anchor artificially inflated costs in the citizenry minds so that any simple bathroom reno reflexively needs a $25k budget at minimum.

While that may be true in some cases, the US Govt also owns a huge amount of productive land that are today used under lease for grazing and other purposes, or could be used by others for purposes that the US Government forbids.

I am not sure what the exact break down of useful vs non-useful is, but I know most of the land in my state that is owned by the government could be used for other things.

Keep in mind to we are not just talking Bureau of Land Management, but also Park Service, All Federal Agencies many of which have abandoned, or under used facilities in many towns and cities through out the US, Military who owns large sections of land that are non-active bases, etc etc etc

Several states have even attempted various law suits because the federal government is preventing economic development of the land

From March 2018:

Today, a half-megawatt mine, Miehe says, “is nothing.” The commercial miners now pouring into the valley are building sites with tens of thousands of servers and electrical loads of as much as 30 megawatts, or enough to power a neighborhood of 13,000 homes. And in the arms race that cryptocurrency mining has become, even these operations will soon be considered small-scale.

For people clamoring for renewable energy, this is an obscene amount of energy needed to do a single task - mine bitcoin. Which should make it even more obscene that all of that energy is being used for what? The benefit of a few people. Staggering to think how common this is and the article even states a 30 megawatt system is small compared to some of the other sites that are out there.

I think another good use case for this sort of hardware/service could be for youtubers/streamers/performers who want to provide immersive interaction to the viewers. If I am a fan of a singer, I'd definitely pay for an opportunity to watch the person singing right in front of me, instead of going to the concerts where I watch them singing miles away.
I think you're conflating technology with profitable or important. That is, you see me saying that software isn't technology and think I'm saying that software isn't profitable or important. That's not at all what I'm saying though. I likened software to writing. Writing can be important and it can be profitable, it's just not technology.

Maybe we could agree on email as a technology. Maybe. I think it's a stretch. I hope we could both agree that the nth email client isn't technology though. It's not adding a new capability to humanity which is how I tend to think about technology. Refrigerator - keep stuff cold. Electricity - power to operate machines and light. Computers - organize, access, modify information. etc. New JavaScript library or new game... Not so much technology.

Reading comprehension fail on my part. I knew about the link to equitablemath.org, but missed the draft proposal references to the equitablemath.org teacher's manual and guides. (The WSJ hypertext link is just to the website, which isn't quite the same thing as presumably you can pick & choose guides, including choosing none at all.) FWIW, here are the two publications that contain the phrase "white supremacist": https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11... and https://equitablemath.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/2/2020/11...

The usage in those publications is entirely unsurprising given the themes and overall narrative. But the absence of their literal usage in the formal draft curriculum is presumably deliberate. Sort of like the way a proposed Civil War curriculum in Texas or Alabama might conspicuously avoid literally saying something like, "the Civil War was fought over states' rights, not slavery". Which, BTW, is something my Florida public high school history teacher actually said in the 1990s as part of his bespoke Civil War curriculum. Even though the subtext was there in the presentation to some degree, the material itself was mostly benign, so it actually did matter somewhat that he said that explicitly.
Just use go.
Why I Joined Tonic: A Software Engineer's Perspective
Gaming demand is fairly constant, while mining demand ebbs and flows with the value of cryptos. Last time this peaked was in early 2018.

Nvidia knows their loyal, regular customers are PC gamers, so it's in their best interest to make sure these customers get the best buying experience to ensure they stay repeat customers.

c) is nonsense. There are no downsides to a temporary boost in Nvidia's profits, even if it means profits eventually falling back to normal levels when ETH drops in value. Also, LHR (gaming) GPUs and CMP (mining) GPUs share the exact same supply chain and components. When/if crypto demand suddenly drops, Nvidia will still have to deal with the oversupply of components. Having segmented the market between LHR and CMP GPUs does not in any way make it easier for Nvidia to forecast overall production capacity.
That's only for an archive node which isn't that useful to the network and is generally only used by specialist. A full Ethereum node easily fits on a 1TB drive and with research ongoing into statelessness the problem of state growth won't be a problem long term.

Except, most people chose to move their stake from one system (USD) to another (ETH) and now, you are a powerful person in this new system. If you owned more stake in the Bitcoin network, you are still a user.

I think it's more that Nvidia knows datacenter customers have the money to pay a premium for "datacenter grade" products.
These massive land holdings are the best possible use for a "Harberger Tax", also known as the Weyl-Posner " Common Ownership Self-Assessed Tax (COST)."

The idea for these taxes is that one self-assesses the value of a good (in this case, land), and the tax is levied on that self assessed value...but one must sell if somebody offers to buy the good at that value.

The problem with these taxes is that, in general, we want people to be able to enjoy a consumer surplus from owning or improving land.

There's an alternative where the value at which sale is compulsory is a multiple of the self-assessed value, and the multiple decreases with time, so that after some number of years the multiple is 1, ie a pure Harberger tax.

Looking at this list, it's incredible that most of this land is owned by a "____ Family" or "_____ Heirs" (the Kennedy's are on the list!)

A Harberger tax would make these families pay much higher taxes for the privilege of owning it generationally.
This is fantastic work that will greatly improve the security of Firefox; big thanks to those who have worked on it. Is there data on what effect it will have on memory use?

One of the primary reasons I use Firefox is that it uses significantly less memory than Chrome, and the entire OS seems to function better as a result (I've seen the most stark difference on macOS). I had been under the impression that most of the reason Chrome uses so much memory is its multiprocess model.

I understand that maybe we need to give that up for better security, but it would be nice to know if that's indeed the tradeoff being made here.
They have been talking up the advantages of unified memory so my guess is they will stick with integrated, but I would imagine they will end up supporting AMD or Nvidia discrete to some degree.

Why does the copy on this page read like something out of dystopian novel?
...so?

They acquired a company that was doing the thing that they are wont to do and are criticized for, and have poured the significant resources at their disposal into growing the circle of impact. Where it originates from and whether it was or wasn't already independently in full swing (or partial, in this case) before their involvement doesn't matter, the effect on the user is the same. Besides that, if a person's problem with a given practice is whether or not Microsoft is the perpetrator, then that person is a hypocrite and doesn't actually give a shit about the the thing they claim to be concerned about.
Unless something major changes, I'm guessing we can expect to continue hearing about how it's "still early days" and "just takes time to catch on" another decade from now.
> I'd dreading Nvidia crippling deep learning for all those not paying X more dollars (as the situation already is for server farms).

This already changed years ago when NVIDIA removed the last non-crippled double and half precision GPUs from their product lineup. The cheapest GPU you can buy for ML now is the titan v, which was $3000 at launch.
> having segfault is the best you can have: it tells you explicitly that something is wrong with your program.

If you get one.

In Rust if I overrun the bounds of an array I will get a panic. It is deterministic and specified, and the stacktrace will tell me which array I overran.

In C/C++ I get no such guarantees - the behaviour is explicitly undefined. If you are LUCKY you'll get a segfault there and then. For one off the end of an array that's unlikely, particularly if it's on the stack. You're much more likely to silently corrupt some data. The program will probably eventually segfault out, but there's no guarantee it's anywhere near the cause, and it could have done anything in the meantime. If you're on embedded it's even worse - no segfaults there at all.

No, if my Rust program compiles it is not necessarily free from errors. It is almost certainly free from memory errors though. Memory errors are problematic, hard to debug and the largest cause of security holes.
Don't forget that a lot of us have weights or other exercise setups at home now. I would definitely try something as an alternative to powdered chalk to keep my palms from getting slippery on my equipment. Especially now that summer is coming and I mostly train outside when I can.

Also, at least in Chicago, gyms have been open for months. They have reduced maximum capacity (I think it's 60% right now), but they were only closed for a short time. You may be severely artificially limiting your sales possibilities.
Is YouPorn worthy? Is MLB.tv valuable?

Yes because people like porn and baseball.

Bitcoin is like gold. It’s valuable because other people say it’s valuable. But nothing useful happens when you mine crypto. Was I entertained? Did I learn something? Are they producing a widget? Even gold can be made into jewellery or used in electronics. Crypto literally just uses power.

For anyone looking at this, please note that this is an editorial written by an educational activist and not a news article, nor a statement of fact. I will contend that what was written is deceptive and is more or less a gish gallop, which makes it difficult, time consuming, and tedious to refute point by point.

As for some specific items that have come up and and elsewhere on the internet, no, California is not advocating for eliminating calculus from the curriculum. This is discussed in Chapter 8. This is an open discussion of whether or not students should be pushed to get into calculus by grade 12. Part of the thinking is that it's possible, but the students end up with some very shallow understanding of the material. Meaning, they can compute a u-substitution, but don't really understand what a derivative or integral means. They may be better off getting a better foundation and then taking calculus in college rather than just pushing for calculus. Other options are discussed on line 340.

No, California is not advocating eliminating gifted programs. This is discussed in Chapter 1 starting around line 415 and intersects with comments about calculus. It does offer a discussion about whether or not tracking kids into gifted programs does them more harm than good in some situations because priority can often be given towards keeping up with advanced topics rather than deeper understanding. Other organizations such as the MAA also have opinions on this.

And, look, I'm not contending that anyone here needs to agree or disagree with the proposals from California. However, I will strongly contend that there's a lot of anger against something that really does not exist in the form that is editorialized. The editorial freely picks and chooses quotes out of context and freely mixes them some with truths and some with lies, which makes it truly exhausting to dissect.
The leader of a volunteer project I was in, was a 75 year old British man who had settled in Brooklyn. My jaw dropped when he told me he had visited some 140 countries, mostly on someone else's dime. Apparently when he was a young man, his job was to scout interesting locations for ultra wealthy people to visit. So he'd go check out the places, draw up an itinerary and also arrange private planes/logistics etc for his clients. And most of the time also go with them (weeks or months later), so he got to visit the some places more than once.

This was pre-internet (some 40 years ago, I guess), I don't know if such jobs exist today. I don't even know what they are called (concierge travel agent?).

The ultra rich truly live on another level.
These TV Licensing letters are the most obscenely aggressive pieces of communication I've ever received from a "public" service in the UK.

I too haven't had a licence for years and have been hounded by these.

But it gets worse, the messaging on TV Licensing's website is borderline fraudulent at times.

They prominently listed "Netflix" as an example of an "online TV service", strongly implying that you need a TV licence to watch it. I emailed them to ask why they list Netflix, and they replied, completely skirting the question with the following bizarre response:

"It would be easier to advise what you can watch without a licence, therefore, please see the following that don’t require a licence:

- Netflix
- {more examples....}"

Update: I've just checked their website again (a few weeks since I received the above reply) and they've removed the mention of Netflix... but now added Apple TV and Amazon Prime!

"An online TV service is any streaming or smart TV service, website or app that lets you watch live TV over the internet. This includes services like All 4, Sky Go, Virgin Media, Now TV, BT TV, Apple TV, YouTube, Amazon Prime Video and ITV Hub"

https://www.tvlicensing.co.uk/check-if-you-need-one

I'm pretty sure this is deliberately misleading. What an awful organisation. I don't mind the BBC (there are worse media organisations), they do need funding, but the aggressive tactics around their TV Licensing makes me rather unsympathetic to their cause.
Finding the right balance between Bootstrap and Tailwind CSS
Bootstrap is one of the most popular CSS tools. I’ve been using it since the beginning. Super easy to customize and scale.

For some time now, Tailwind did an awesome thing. Adam (the creator) managed to make utility classes very popular. It even became a new way of building interfaces right in the HTML.

However, utility classes have been around us for quite some time. Bootstrap introduced them long before Tailwind was a thing. The only thing is that the team didn’t put the effort to show some good practices around these. Correct me if I’m wrong.

IMO Keeping separated the css from the html is a good practice. Using utility classes to extend the default style in the html instead of creating additional styles is another great practice.

I think that finding the right balance between component css styles and utilities is something we need. I know I do.

This is why I created a CSS tool based on Bootstrap 5, including a generous list of utilities and an extended stylguide for managing colors, typography, spacing and more.

I published it on GitHub a few days ago. I hope it got your attention. If you think something good could come out of this, let me know and share the project

Major nitpick but Texas is most certainly not part of the midwest. And acquisition is the wrong thing to fear, backwards economic policies and divestment from urban centers and education while labor protections even for high skilled employees continue to be eroded are system problems outside of the coastal hubs. Texans and midwesterners should be afraid of how their governments are dropping the ball, not of coastal companies buying out the locals.

But the bigger scare of TI being acquired is that they are a major manufacturer of commodity components and Apple is a vertically integrated consumer electronics business. It would be devastating to American semiconductor marketplace if their portfolio was no longer available.
I don't know if it's a tactic. I think it may be common for salespeople to be...weird, because it seems logical if the barrier for entry is low, if they're on commission.

I was at a Honda dealer once, having owned Honda and Acura cars in the past, and thinking about a hybrid. I said something to the salesman about Honda hybrid drivetrains being second rate, engineering wise, compared to Toyota, even though I generally liked Honda vehicles in other respects.

I was startled when he seemed to take it really personally. It didn't seem like he was just acting angry - I can't see what the use of that would be.
I don't know a lot about bank wires except for when I put a down payment on a house. There was a flat rate if I recall, close to $90. Few if any have a credit limit approaching a housing down payment and those rates are percent based I believe. I was told it could take days to complete but it took hours. I did not feel safe doing the transfer but had no other option. I believe that's what title insurance is for (at least in part?). I've completed thousands of visa transactions in the same time, so transaction cost and speed are probably why people use visa instead of wire transfer. There are additional perks like warranty extension, fraud prevention, fraud insurance, etc.

I find the argument for this move unconvincing:
Nvidias failure to meet demand is somehow the fault of... the customers?
But since there are morally aprehensible workloads, it is totally fine to... throttle them? Not prevent or contractually prohibit, as one might expect...
And of course it is Nvidia who decicdes on the morals of your workload.

I mean, seriously, how can anyone be ok with that?
