>This is such a weird fucking statement.

Not if you've been in the industry for long enough. And it has absolutely nothing whatsoever to do with Apple, the "everyone just loves watching Intel suffer" (or more charitably, "watching Intel get a bit of comeuppance and much needed kick in the arse") bit stands on its own no matter who is dishing out the suffering because Intel has been a big PITA for everybody since the late 90s/early 00s. Intel is pretty much single-handedly responsible for lack of widespread ECC memory for example. They've nickle and dimed everyone and feature gated important functionality for pricing power and basically just exploited the ever living shit out of their dominant CPU position. And the last time they were getting threatened in terms of that position, they bought themselves what they needed with illegal tactics denying AMD a chance to get the ball rolling, dooming us to another 10-12 years before they could go for it again. And Intel has been this way for ages and ages. People still remember everything that went down around Itanium and how it choked off promising alternatives.

So yeah. Intel have indeed been the evil ones, and in a way that's been a lot harder to avoid than Apple which you might stop and recall has in fact always had only a tiny minority of the PC market. I mean, if you want to talk about Apple specifically:

>Apple literally think they own your hardware after you buy it, and Intel are the evil ones?

That's kind of amusing given the access Intel has given themselves at a deep level on every CPU.

>M1 is ok but honestly it feels like they've only just caught up to everyone else

This is just you being silly. "Only just caught up"? They were using Intel before so they were by definition the same as everyone else. What they've done in mobile CPU design has been genuinely remarkable. And that in turn is a genuinely good thing in general whether you use them or not, same as with AMD. We're already seeing Intel sluggishly but seriously start to respond and shift.
Intoxicant as Preservative and Scientific Instrument in the World of J. Petiver
With Brazil being on the equator and mostly south of it, I doubt the end of northern hemisphere winter has much to do with it.
This sounds fantastic. Kindly do a Show HN when you’re ready.
Well, apples don't come from oaks. Unless you count oak apples: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oak_apple

Though not sure how that would fit into the metaphor.
This is how I see it as well. If I had a private office in Bell Labs with plenty of co-working space I would prefer to go into the office to WFH. The reality is that the majority of office environments are loud, cramped, stressful, distracting sweat shops. If I had to choose between that and WFH I will choose WFH every time. If my work provided me with a nice private office with plenty of coworking space I would probably prefer the office to WFH.
Maybe you should double check your information before you post. It makes you look like a complete worthless fool. The flu season is a weather event, 'covid' kills more people during this weather event. This weather event just finished in Brazil, its tropical so its more similar to India than Australia.
Oh man, I would LOVE it if more software was developed as a tool. I absolutely don't want the look and feel of my miter saw to suddenly change to a "fresh" layout, and I feel the same about my browser.

I get that a lot of people feel differently and that's who Mozilla and many other companies are targetting, but it really bums me out that my tech tools can't be stable and reliable.
Unless we shut down physical borders that won't work because the developed world has travel open enough that hackers can travel to the country if their target, setup the attack, and leave. A few months later it executes and we're in the same boat as before, albeit with an additional speed bump for the hackers.

Or it will just be home grown criminals doing the same thing.
>No, it is not. It is supposed to be protected from the government punishing you over it, any other requirements are purely made up.

The United States has an unusually robust legal protection of free speech in its constitution. It is the case that this only protects citizens from the state, and any other protections people imagine it provides are, as you state, 'purely made up.'

Even so, the First Amendment is based on a prior ethos of the value of free speech.

The philosopher, J.S. Mill, in his impassioned defense of freedom of speech saw both government and private actions as being threats to free speech, and advocated protections against both.

There is an adage which has been much repeated in recent years that freedom of speech does not imply freedom from consequences. That depends on what those 'consequences' are. One may disagree, argue back, or even block a person with whom you disagree, but it crosses a line when you respond by trying to destroy a person whose views you reject.
Your pragmatism is refreshing. This simple solution meets all your requirements so there isn’t a need to add complexity. Kudos!
Brew install doesn't actually work, in case you like me can't tell that from their installation docs page.
Ok, honestly, this is one of the most fascinating things I have seen in a while.
Oh, noble web ring, may you continue your life in the shadows.
> anti-vaccine movement is not going to stop because these people are not persuaded by facts or arguments

That’s fine. Nobody should be forced to have something injected into them.

But society doesn’t have to wait for them. Decisions have consequences, and a lot of public goods are a privilege, not a right. You have a right to refuse to get photo ID; it does not follow you have a right to fly.

If you choose not to get vaccinated, the public shouldn’t be responsible for your care costs, if you get sick or debilitated. You should also responsible for the costs of those you injure. Like Arizona’s stupid motorist law for people who ignore flood signs.
Australia allows drinking in parks unless it's a designated no-drinking area (usually any area outside an alcohol store).
That being said different states in Aus handle alcohol differently and some are very strict. The major states of NSW and Vic are pretty chill though.
EO from President Biden’s Office. Thoughts?
I realized you could do that a few months back and finally built a little HTML/CSS/JS-based 'TODO' list so people could more easily follow along with my progress completing a set of tasks during live streams: https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/2021/obs-task-list-overlay...

It was trivially easy to get it formatted properly without me having to know anything about the GUI programming language OBS uses. Definitely an enlightening moment when I realized you can overlay anything with HTML!
I don't care so much about living longer. I'm 40 currently and I think 75-85 years old would be a fine stopping point. But if I could be healthier and "younger" physically speaking in those latter years, I'm interested.

I don't think I'd want to live hundreds of years or in a society where people are living that long.
> [...] and the ARM CPU not needing to support instructions from the 60s.

Apparently, those weird instructions only take up a teeny-tiny amount of space on the CPU and are basically implemented in micro-code.

To be backwards compatible those instructions just need to be supported, but they don't need to be fast. So they are implemented such that they don't get in the way much.
It seems like having a working and testable reference implementation should be a prerequisite for adoption
of core internet technologies. In other words,

It may be simple but it takes a lot of energy to boil & you can't store it. They didn't have the convenience of electric kettles.

Software engineer and physical therapist with extensive experience in complicated problem solving and reasoning. About a year ago I had an idea for an application that would help my patients be more informed and feel better before they went to see a physical therapist. This led to an intense coding bootcamp, several projects full of features, and a working prototype for the dream I had a year ago.

I am a fast and determined learner who loves to teach himself new technologies, programming languages, and business models. I can adapt to any business and its technology stack.

I don't understand why we collectively treat interview questions as this big gotcha trade secret we have to spring on interviewees in real time. It feels like a masochistic hazing ritual.

I've taken to pre-emailing the general structure of questions I expect to ask ~48 hours before the interview and I've found that a) the interviewees are enormously thankful (which helps with closing candidates) and b) the quality of signal I get is much higher.
That's actually measurable. You take the data from before the change and the estimations (based on similar changes elsewhere) and plot how long it takes for the traffic to reach expectations (in terms of things like throughput and decreased collisions). With that, you can find out how long the average drivers took to adjust.

It can be depressingly long.
See this amazing chart from the IRS on allowable source and destination's for rollovers: https://www.irs.gov/pub/irs-tege/rollover_chart.pdf

It does appear you can roll a SEP-IRA over to a "Qualified (pre-tax) Plan" which footnote 1 indicates includes 401K.

How much do you have in the SEP currently? You could roll $6,000 of it per year over into a Roth IRA (held at Vanguard for example).

Remember, make sure not to end up with money in a traditional IRA, or the tax situation for backdoor contributions becomes much more complex.
And if not fans, I actually just elevated my MacBook Pro on a cooling laptop stand (with no ventilation) and that was enough to keep it cool for hours-long streaming.
For people unfamiliar with it, Course Hero promotes some seriously unethical practices. They enable students to commit academic dishonesty by uploading course materials such as assignments and tests. Course Hero then locks those materials behind a paywall, where you can either pay money to access the materials or upload your own course materials for credits to access other ones.
It's interesting to compare this to the physical-world analog. What if somebody shows up at the US-Canada border, start shooting rockets at Canada, and the US refuses to acknowledge this as a crime or extradite? What if the rockets are aimed at a critical piece of infrastructure near the border and can cause billions in damage? One could argue that if the US condones these attacks, they have effectively already declared war on Canada.
Just curious, who or what is encouraging this constant churn of socialization that you are experiencing? I am not aware of this phenomenon

"These are attacks by foreign actors"

We have plenty of our own hackers and ransomware, i am not seeing how foreign-angle adds anything to the debate

"none of it directed at the actual criminals"

There will always be criminals. If a bank was robbed by two kids armed with a banana, then the real fault lies with the bank's management for being negligent, and every court will recognise it.

As it stands, most data leaks and hacks are not unpreventable zerodays, they are people being negligent and irreaponsible.

Large organisations need to change, and ignorance of the issue needs to be adressed. This is not just "there need to be some minor improvements"
There will be plenty of home grown hackers within the country doing it then too. Sure that might make prosecution easier if we can catch them, but it's not like we have anything close to a good track record in solving most crimes and bringing the criminal to justice. It will just be another risk/reward trade off that domestics criminals make every day already.
That's legit reason for Intel to be blamed, but also I want to praise Intel for massive contributing for OSS. I wish AMD also increase contributes for OSS as increasing shares and profits.
Quarantines of actually sick individuals, you mean.

The use of PCR tests with ridiculously high thresholds to determine "asymptomatic carriers" was an extreme overreach.

It was such an overreach that the public health establishment has already backtracked on this level of sensitivity in PCR testing, with respect to vaccinated individuals, because they keep getting all these pesky "false positives" after vaccination. It's really messing with their outreach campaigns, understandably.

You can be sure this will all be clarified in litigation over the next few decades while the Trump appointees get to work.

Unless, of course, the restrictionists come down off the ledge. It seems you all are folding on all fronts recently. My genuine prediction is that all of this will be moot in a years time once no one pays any mind to the coronabros anymore.
Which may force you to handle two versions of databases schemes instead of a single migration. This adds complexity and sometimes 1min of down time is more acceptable than that additional work.

The Russian (Soviet, really) digital electronics story is just unimaginably sad. There were plenty of capable electronics engineers (still are, though many of them are languishing in poverty, obscurity, and/or retirement), but the Soviet state essentially shut down all research into original computer architectures in the early 70s after the BESM-6 (q.v.) and proclaimed a strategy of copying Western machines. As will all research, a gap a decade or so long essentially wiped the institutional memory. (Cf. the US rocket engineers forgetting how to build large engines after the ignominious end of the Apollo project, or the US particle physicists largely forgetting how to build particle accelerators after the untimely termination of the SSC.) The closest thing to an original Soviet consumer-oriented computer in 1991 were the Elektronika programmable calculators, which sparked a tremendous following but are downright pitiful compared to contemporary HP designs.

For reasons that are unknown to me in detail but probably have to do with the general consumer-hostility of Soviet economic planning and industry, the Soviet Union also never really figured out how to make good ICs (barring the arcane discipline of space-hardened electronics); even separately-packaged transistors were kind of crap for a long time.

As for modern Russia, both expected corruption-adjusted research funding and the probability of starting a technology business that would survive the grubby hands of petty officials are best rounded off to zero. There are occasionally some very lucky or very well-connected groups that manage to get some work done, but these are small (reproducing an established technology takes time, but not more than several roomfuls of researchers) and infrequent. Why people (who don’t have a vested interest in them) compare these to Apple or Intel I just can’t understand—this is not at all like 1960s IBM vs the Soviet Union.

I say all of this with the greatest respect to the stubborn people who try to do engineering under the current Russian regime. I’m only trying to realistically describe the hand they were dealt and the resulting prospects.
It might due to something called the therapeutic index. Its the ratio of the effective dose to lethal dose. For some drugs its pretty narrow and requires careful monitoring.

yup,Alexa app, which I haven't opened since at least last year, and had all devices unplugged, found it buried in there - set to [ENABLED]. I've never seen a notice/alert/opt-out opportunity, and I would have noticed it.

Combined with generation it says plenty. It's unfortunate when the public doesn't understand. I'm not sure what should be done.

It is worth noting that if you think GPU model numbers are fine, CPUs are actually very similar. There's the 2600k, 3770k, etc. (sandy bridge and ivy bridge CPUs respectively) The first number goes up each generation and the rest is how powerful it is within the generation. Similar to Nvidia having a GTX 980 and later a GTX 1080.
They suspended the vote to extend it, so currently expired yes, but I think if/when it goes to vote it will continue to live on.

Also, I have not seen evidence that its effects have been nullified with its expiration, but I'm willing to learn.

Maintaining a "pile" of not-yet-selected items, and randomly removing elements from it, turns your shuffle from an O(n) algorithm into an O(n^2) one (unless you go out of your way to use a more sophisticated data structure than either an array or a linked list).

It's not likely to matter much if you're only shuffling 52 cards, but if you're writing a general-purpose shuffle algorithm, there's no reason to needlessly make it inefficient.
Britain - which is of course highly vaccinated - is seeing recent small (so far) problems with spikes as well [1], due to the Delta (India B.1.617.2) variant now spreading there. There doesn't seem to be much consensus as to what a high-vaccination (and, in theory, high herd immunity) location like Britain might expect against that variant. The US will find out pretty soon how the mRNA vaccines hold up against it, as I imagine it'll blanket the US in the coming months.

I am not sure which part you are stating is not correct. The intention is to contribute after-tax income.

For your situation, a better move would be for you to do a Roth Conversion of the money in your traditional-IRA to move it to Roth IRA dollars. You do this with your broker, and then file form 8606 with the IRS.

The $6,000 "Roth Backdoor" is indeed with post-tax dollars. This is intended. There are significant benefits to having the majority of your retirement savings in a Roth, including no minimum distributions, and the ability to withdraw funds for unqualified reasons 5 years after your last contribution.

It's worth noting the engineers actually seemed to get management to allow the 2019 model to be _thicker_ with more thermal mass than the earlier models. But in a sense, Intel's chips have never been amazing for laptops.

The power draw drains batteries, and the heat is... very annoying at best. I have used a couple ThinkPads and a Dell XPS over the past 5 years too, and all of them had the same issues where they'd constantly be pushing out very hot air, and the battery life was never more than 4-6 hours.
