Rust makes writing multithreaded code stupid-easy. The compiler itself will saturate every core of your machine. Rust development on a threadripper is such a joy for this reason, and even the M1 is quite pleasant, so I'm looking forward to these higher core counts.
This seems true to me. Correlation doesn't imply causation, but I've had my fair share of bizarre dreams where two completely separate concepts try to wedge themselves together in interlocking dream logic. No examples to speak of directly, as even holding them together after awakening is almost impossible.
Well, yes, if banning something considered harmful for the vast majority hurts a few, at some point it's worth considering. The line differs for everyone to be sure. For crypto"currency" in particular I'm not sure an outright ban is merited. It sure does seem more useful for criminal organizations and trading casinos to part unsophisticated "investors" (idealists?) from their cash than for actual people to use to conduct business, though.
YouTube Experiencing Issues
Wow, I didn't know this existed! It seems way nicer than the "full site", I think even your average user would probably agree. The "full site" feels like nothing but a downgrade, it doesn't really add anything useful.

The general lack of EVs in multifamily housing is concerning for EV adoption - the only places where it's really possible is if the community offers a garage and the site's willing to book an electrician to install the 240v outlet.
I ended up having to disable my containers plugin due to syncing issues and later...CPU usage. It wasnt terrible on a better processor (like 1-2 cores 50-100% consistent usage) but on my old core2duo thinkpad it was basically useless. And on any laptop that was unacceptable.

I like the idea of containers, and will probably revisit periodically to see if whatever was fubar on my account is resolved (theres none/if any logging, so its hard to really dig in)

Did S3 really become that much faster over the years? I was optimizing a cache that worked on top of HDFS and cloud FSes at some point few years ago, and I remember making slides to present the improvements. For HDFS I had this complex slide that tried to show cache is actually achieving some fractional improvement at some point. For the unnamed cloud FS, I just had to make a 2-bar chart that looked like the cloud FS is giving you a middle finger sideways... A really tall bar for the time it took to read data off the cloud FS. A really small bar with cache.
I believe simply installing the Google Drive for Desktop client would have been what you wanted to do. As the name suggests, the Backup and Sync client is well primarily for backing up and syncing your data automatically to Google Drive and Google Photos.
Perhaps this is for people on machines that are locked down and don't allow extra software.

I make a small electronic gadget in the US, and international shipping is a nightmare. I'm also a build-to-order business with a low sales volume. My recourse has been to simply limit myself to domestic sales while sharing my design. I am guessing that some of my products "leak" out of the US by people ordering through a forwarding company.

There is some kind of insane massive asymmetry in international shipping costs that really does make it prohibitive to ship anything out of the US.

However, if you've figured out how to do this well, I'd love to read more about it. Maybe another blog is in order. ;-) There are some things that are mysteries to me, such as what kind of inventory level is necessary to make everything run smoothly but without losing your shirt.

Yeah, Windows 7's speeds with single connections are very, very slow. It took me years to figure out the reason were bad TCP settings, because it worked fine when I used a multiconnection downloader. What fixed it for me was running these 3 commands in a CMD with admin permissions:

netsh interface tcp set heuristics disabled
netsh int tcp set global autotuninglevel=normal
netsh int tcp set global congestionprovider=ctcp
That was about the only thing I could think of.
It’s a misconception that Google fostered right from the start.

They did advertise Chrome as process-per-tab: https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/big_04.html, pages 6 and 7 also definitely agree. (I haven’t read all through it again now, but I should also note that the process in the very centre of https://www.google.com/googlebooks/chrome/big_38.html shows what appears to be two tabs under it, which supports it not necessarily being process-per-tab.)

But either it never actually was, or they abandoned it as impractical even before release (https://stackoverflow.com/q/42804 has answers agreeing it isn’t process-per-tab on the day after the first release). So either Google lied, or they released the comic including a glaring and rather significant factual error (even if it had been true when Scott first drew the pages).

It’s frustrating when parties pull these shenanigans, making big claims around things like security and performance predicated on points that are simply not true, but never retracting those points properly or repudiating them, so that the misconception persists.
Does Facebook actually need to inflict the distress or just be complicit? Cause I have little doubt that "conduct that is heinous and beyond the standards of civilized decency or utterly intolerable in a civilized society" takes place on social media - after all, high schoolers use social media.
Two ways:

* The "stock" (token) is constantly spitting

* The "stock" grants the bearer both a continuous dividend as well as a vote on deciding what "work" (transactions) the "company" (chain) takes on.

Is there a real-world stock with these properties?
This is funny. The author expects everyone to be offended by her totally uncontroversial opinion.
Those are different questions than what OP got at with "If they did admit a link it would open Facebook to unimaginable legal liability"

Admitting to this fact could just be bad PR. Or bad for their growth and retention metrics, while not changing their legal liability.
I work there currently, we still exist! We actually just published a blog post last week about how we use tonari internally:

The codebase should be as small as possible: least surprise, readability, security, new features, and debugging.

The other way for the profession to progress is to eliminate humans (mostly) with self-programming machines (effectively, a technological singularity).
I don't think this will actually be a real problem as you can just sign the call with your identity which renders deep fakes useless.
not a direct resolution but i do use OneTab

to offload idle tabs. Downside is that it doesnt sync with firefox so anyhing i may need I may need to open in another firefox instance, I just bookmark.

The grouping is nice because it gives me a reference of a time i was doing x research/reading. And what i find is that there really isnt too much that i need to crossover, work stuff stays on my work computer, personal to personal etc.

Many people I know are simply addicted to the dopamine that IG and FB gives. It's designed this way. I struggle with it too sometimes but I deactivated my FB this week, still have IG. At least that one adds some value to my life.

We will one day look back at social media like we did at cigarettes and soft drinks. The Internet is still developing, it's a shame most people I know simply accept 'this is the way it is' instead of doing something about it.

I would assume it's related to limitations in the early wake word detection hardware and software which require pretraining of the weights, which were usually hard coded into the low power edge system.

Nothing would stop a modern system from training a new wakeword in a cloud system, if enough samples were available.
> Tooling is just terrible. The VSCode plugin is crap, kills the CPU unless you disable features. There is no IDE from jetbrains. There is a plugin but last time I tried it, it was even worse than the VSCode plugin.

That's my main blocker, proper JetBrains IDE support just makes everything so much easier. I need a debugger.

I tried the plug-in, and kudos to the author but it did not work for me. In the end they're only one person so of course they could not test every single configuration

I wonder why JetBrains has not put their weight behind it.

Cisco and Sun were the go-to big name equipment suppliers to many startups around the dot-com days. A lot of it was stupid expensive (like 150k for a sun server with the performance of a 5k Linux box, or 20k for a basic Cisco router). Well, when the startups folded a huge amount of that equipment got sold for pennies on the dollar and Cisco basically almost went bankrupt - and Sun basically did.
So has Google published the weights so that I can run this myself offline?

Kafka from what I have seen is winning in large orgs.

The main reason is Confluent, the marketing and the commercial support contracts that comes with Confluent. Then you have the ecosystem around Kafka is a bit more mature.

Personally I prefer Pulsar for its design but Pulsar has no Confluent equivalent or marketing department. I’ve yet to do a Pulsar deployment but deployed Kafka at several large orgs.
Yes you can run arbitrary code extremely inefficiently, which reinforces the point they are not general purpose by definition.

> Ask yourself where are the Jews of Syria, Algeria, Yemen, Egypt, Iraq etc? All had relatively large Jewish communities until recently. Persecution, violence and yes, ethnic cleansing is what decimated the Jewish population of the Middle East (outside of Israel).

Yeah, please stop with your disinformation. Zionists try to present the migration to Israel from Arab lands as if it was somehow equivalent to the Palestinian Nakba. Lets see what some of those migrants say about this. Yisrael Yeshayahu, a former Knesset speaker who migrated from Yemen said "We are not refugees. [Some of us] came to this country before the state was born. We had messianic aspirations." -- basically he came because he was a zionist. Another former speaker Shlomo Hillel said "I do not regard the departure of Jews from Arab lands as that of refugees. They came here because they wanted to, as Zionists" [1]. Iraqi-born Israeli historian Avi Shlaim, speaking of the wave of Iraqi Jewish migration to Israel, concludes that, even though Iraqi Jews were "victims of the Israeli-Arab conflict", Iraqi Jews aren't refugees, saying "nobody expelled us from Iraq, nobody told us that we were unwanted" [2]. It is truly despicable to paint those who came to Israel from other parts of the Middle East as colonizers looking to steal the property of the indigenous Palestinian Arabs as victims.

> And this is just the tip of the ice burg when it comes to the type of persecution Christians face in the Middle East today.

Again, I know it would be seemingly convenient for you -- a defender of Apartheid Israel -- to find another nation which behaves like Israel (in its persecution of other races/religions). Nonetheless, even if what you are saying is true -- and I believe many of the Muslims of Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria would reject this -- what you are proving is nothing. This is just a whataboutism/red herring/tu quoque. How about Israel starts treating the Arab Muslims and Christians with dignity, stops abusing their rights, stealing their property and land.

Just remember -- you are here defending a country which has institutionalized racism and apartheid.

> Errors as values is a far superior approach to exceptions

No, it's not. Unhandled errors that aren't noticed just lead to undefined/nondeterministic behavior and some really nasty bugs. And moreover, I literally cannot understand how it is possible for any programmer to not realize this (compare: elixir's approach, which instead embraces errors and restarts processes instantly).
> This doesn't really make sense for IR. IR is not meant to be human writeable. It's meant to be generated by a compiler. So, having a one to one mapping between concept and name in the IR is a feature, not a bug.

Do you consider the name for a type to be a part of the concept? SPIR-V doesn't.
Overall, if you wanted one-to-one mapping, at least that would be consistent. But SPIR-V decided to require this only for simple types, while you can still have duplicate composite types.

> Honestly, WGSL just repeats the JavaScript mistake: where we should have started with something like WASM instead of JavaScript. And JS could have been just one of the many languages that targeted WASM.

We don't know if Web would be nearly as successful if it started with WASM instead of JS. The ability to just open a text editor and make a web page has served well in the early days.

> We were this close to not repeating this mistake by adopting an IR language (SPIR-V) for WebGPU, but then that got abandoned mostly for political reasons.

Look at the situation today: the very same people who were rooting for SPIR-V are currently introducing features the diverge WGSL away from SPIR-V, further and further. It's quite telling, I think. The moral of the story is: regardless of reasons (which we can argue a ton), WG members admit that what we ideally need is not SPIR-V, and this is supported by the way WGSL is shaping.
In practice, isn't it trivial to convert Type 1 fonts to OpenType?

After all, OpenType fonts are really just a fancy container with lots of features that ultimately contain font data as either Type 1 or TrueType description.

Sure you need a conversion tool, but it should be a lossless conversion as well, no?

So this doesn't seem like any kind of problem in practice. (Really Adobe ought to provide a conversion tool free of charge though.)

I mean, current Microsoft Word can't open Word 4.0 files back from 1989. At some point after decades, ancient file formats ought to be deprecated and it's up to users to convert to more modern formats.

And yes I understand this might technically be against a license agreement. But I really don't think any of the font foundries are going to go after you over a shrinkwrap license from a quarter century ago. And even if they did, you'd probably have a pretty good argument around fair use or something -- just because something's in a contract doesn't mean it's enforceable.
I think politically circumstances are far more similar in the US to pre-WWII Germany than most people realize.

It's tempting to write off economics as a field based on this sort of stuff, but I think that would be unfair to the economics profession.

I don't want to get too into the politics here, but I follow the financial news, and it's hard not to notice how the economic analysis can often be very different based on political affiliations. This letter was published in the Wall St. Journal, and many of the signatories work for the Hoover Institution, AEI, etc. I don't like saying it because it sounds so partisan, but these groups tend to be very concerned about the deficit / inflation / easy money policies during Democratic administrations.

During the same time period, the top economist at the Times was predicting low inflation and a slow recovery, and of course the federal reserve board itself had a different view which is why it took the actions it did. So did wall street / the markets, which did not have high inflation expectations priced in.

How economics is reported in the media is some combination of academic economics / politics / the media, and I'm not sure academic economics is really the biggest issue in that group. I think it's worth listening to what economists think, but it's important to look at their track record to be aware the media may be reporting a minority opinion in the field based on their political leanings.
I appreciate your long and thought-out responses, truly I do. However it seems like we're partially talking past each other so hopefully I can fully clarify.

You've pretty clearly stated how you feel in no uncertain terms. I understand that and I accept that. I have clearly stated how I feel. My thoughts/feelings are my own, and I don't need to radically change the way I think or view the world because I'm being held under some yoke of some imposed belief or way of thinking. We disagree. That's fine. It's obviously not going to change but please don't proceed with this idea that I just don't "get it".

The work is intrinsically tied to the meme. That is how I feel about the meme. Authorial intent, whatever it may be, isn't particularly relevant in criticism beyond the subjective interpretation of whether they achieved it or not. I don't know and neither do you as neither of are the author and I don't see them spelling it out. I'm sure they mean it as a light-hearted joke, but I still disagree with the idea that it is funny.

I'm not here to change (and am certainly not able to change) what does or doesn't fly in the offices of Corporate America. Culture vary (as do opinions as previously stated), but even if you think this is funny I wouldn't recommend you use it or share it around in the office for due to the potential consequences of the implications and language it contains. Whether that is good or bad morally or for our society or culture is also a matter of opinion and beside the point.

Personally I find a lot of humor in other things that I don't think are appropriate for the workplace or a professional setting. I don't feel restrained under some yoke of society, there is just a time and place for certain things. People very naturally change mannerisms and ways of speaking to tailor them to whoever is on the receiving end. There is a pretty obvious and the reason is pretty simple.

I guess if you really want to push it all the way out sure, I'm crushed under the yoke of caring about other people and having empathy. I guess I'm okay with that. But I'm not a hostage to what I think someone else beliefs are. I'm a hostage to my own, which include generally trying not to be an asshole.

Make of that what you will, but I am my own person. I'm not missing some greater truth or liberated way of thinking. You're quite literally also evaluating things based on a relative set of value judgements and interpretations the same way I am, they're just the ones you have and ours are different.

As previously stated, I'm not asking/imploring/demanding the author to change anything. I'm just sharing how I feel about it.
Yes, we definitely need more shading languages.
