Nobody with influence agrees with this assessment. Without taking the bait on this "C++ software is garbage" stuff: there's general acceptance that some significant chunk of memory-unsafe software, particularly the stuff most exposed to attack, or that runs on the systems we're most concerned with being attacked, needs to be replaced with memory-safe alternatives.

It is simply not the case that Rust's only role is in "new killer apps". Replacing C++ code is part of the raison dêtre of Rust.

You knew this was a pointless dead argument the moment Linus Torvalds began entertaining Rust kernel modules. The debate is over. That doesn't mean --- regardless of what any website says --- that all C++ software is "garbage", or that anyone is going to pry C++ out of your cold, dead hands. But it does make arguing about whether the maintainer of curl should accept funds to replace some of their code with Rust tedious and unproductive.

I've found this concept is near impossible to share without sounding, well, like you put it, "a new-age loon".

We haven't really developed a system or language that succinctly expresses the nature of self or experience (well, I only know English. Perhaps other languages lend themselves better). For me, I find the simplest terms to be the most profound way of capturing what you said, but when I say them out loud to someone who hasn't climbed the same "context mountain" I probably sound like someone you would encounter at a drum circle in a public park (which I find nothing to be wrong with, I should add!).

Dissenting voice: I worked for a full decade for an employer which exclusively provided Aeron chairs. They gave me terrible back and neck problems, even after spending substantial effort selecting the correct size and setting the lumbar support correctly. It was like sitting on a trampoline for me, and I grew to hate them.

Conversely I have, for the last four years, sat in a cheap IKEA MILLBERGET swivel chair. It has been excellent, and all my back issues have completely disappeared.
I got one. It says:

Integration Test Email #1

> Data newly written to the ten-disk RAIDz2 has a nominal storage efficiency of 80 percent—eight of every ten sectors are data—but the old expanded data is still written in six-wide stripes, so it still has the old 67 percent storage efficiency.

This makes this feature quite ‘meh’. The whole goal is capacity expansion and you won’t be able to use the new capacity unless you rewrite all existing data, as I understand it.

This feature is mostly relevant for home enthusiasts and I think it doesn’t really bring the desired behavior this user group wants and needs.

> Undergoing a live reshaping can be pretty painful, especially on nearly full arrays; it's entirely possible that such a task might require a week or more, with array performance limited to a quarter or less of normal the entire time.

Not an issue for home users as they often don’t have large work loads thus this process is fast and convenient. Even if it would take two days.
Losing an actual bomb is quite a lot different from having and fixing a coolant leak.

I'm very happy with my Steelcase Think. I've had it for about three years now.

As others mentioned I'd also suggest optimizing other parts of your setup: desk height, keyboard height/angle, keyboard itself (I love my Keyboard.io Model 01, monitor height, etc.
Aerons are designed to have individuals dial them in. My 18 year old or so Aeron finally gave up near the start of the pandemic and I really wasn't sure what to do. There were newer HM models, including the Cosm which was billed as basically a self-adjusting Aeron. However, I couldn't try anything.

But it was just for me. So I just ordered another Aeron with the new back support system and I couldn't be happier. Right call. Mirra 2's are OK--we have them at least one of our company offices--but they're not Aerons. (And I prefer the web style to something like an Leap or Embody.)
I got three for $50 each when my last company moved to a bigger office. They spent millions fitting out this new swanky 3 level space but skimped on chairs. Left a couple of months later and now WFH full time in my comfy Aeron.
Does google maps still not know where subway entrances are?
Perhaps, but I've sat in design meetings for a very similar concept: the original product was something similar to "My Pass" and there was well over an hour of a dozen people discussing the psychological effects changing it to something closer to "[Brand] Pass" - the biggest one being that exact transition of ownership. The overwhelming majority agreed that removing the sense of individual ownership implied by "My" would both encourage sharing (in this case it was reasonable to do this as an "upgrade") and to encourage brand loyalty. I suggested "My [Brand] Pass" but was roundly shot down as "that just complicated things". Surveys were performed (NB: I do not know what these surveys contained or how they were handled) and eventually it was decided to call it something like "Family Pass".

Point being that name changes can come from such over thinking.

I have had the same chair since 2015, and recently bought one for a friend and for my younger brother who have been very satisfied with it. To me it really is a chair that is sort of an end-of-the-line, as I have never felt any need for a better chair. One of my favorite "upgrades" is indeed removing the armrests to be able to sit high from the ground, but right under the desk. Major kudos for the engineer/designer who made the IKEA Markus, especially for a relatively low price of €150.
Used Aeron Size C. I suggest getting a larger one than you need. Be careful about which vendor if buying online. Try to get one from a local office interior repo reseller, which are typically located in commercial or industrial areas near airports. Test the cartridge before buying by sitting in it for an hour or so to see if it sinks.
Big Internet BGP servers also aren't super exposed due to the common use of TCP MD5 (RFC 2385) or TCP AO (RFC 5925). The userspace daemon won't even see packets from attackers who don't have the shared secret for that peer link.

Arduino/C++ - You should understand how to actually turn things on and off at the low level

Excel - You should understand how to work with data flows

Python - A good REPL with a huge library available almost everywhere.

Forth - Concatenative programming offers a lot of power, by trading off nicely organized parameter/return values.

LISP - the opposite of forth, with more power because you can trade your parenthesis keys for huge amounts of power properly organizing data
Almost any huge system will eventually implement most of LISP, but badly. Why not learn the right way to do it?

An old school GUI builder like VB6 or Delphi 3, where you can build a GUI and then wire up a few lines of code to make it actually do everything.

GIT - You need to learn source control, command line or GUI doesn't really matter much. Anything is better than a stack of .ZIP files containing everything
You should learn enough to be able to work on something, make a commit, push it to your github (or equivalent) account, and work the reverse of that, with a merge local.

GNU Radio - You should learn how to process data in real time, understand IQ data, negative frequencies and the rest. Fun fact, you can take data from your microphone, and output it to your speakers, with all the DSP you want in between.

Mathematica/Octave - You should learn how to push data around, perhaps in a class about machine learning, or DSP.

SQL - You should learn enough to know how to create a table, query it, etc. by hand, or via generating code in some host language.

Regular Expressions - You should learn how pattern matching can be used to do a huge amount of things that otherwise require pages of code.

HTML/CSS/Javascript - Use your favorite text editor to build a few pages, navigate, etc. Just have a good idea of what is under the surface.

NAND2Tetris - If possible, work your way through the course, you'll have a much better idea of the big picture of computing.
I think more important than whether or not Ivermectin is actually helpful (it seems to have a following, but there appears also to be contradictory evidence and it's weirdly entangled with people advocating against using covid vaccines) is the whole censorship issue raised in the article. I definitely don't want YouTube or whoever deciding what I'm smart enough to think about and accept or reject on my own. They (tech elites generally) went down a dangerous but self-constrained road when they started censoring during the election, but extending this to scientists etc, and by extension somehow pronouncing on what scientific opinions are valid and which are not, moves into a whole different realm of inappropriateness
Writing a basic engine takes no time at all.

Writing a complete engine that works across all major consoles plus Windows and mobile, with all the features designers might need including editing and scripting capability, is a HUGE time sink.

If you intend to sell your game, stick with Unreal or Unity and save yourself a lot of time and hassle.
Cool, though they also charge 5k/lb into polar orbits which have significantly lower capacity. Falcon 9 is 16,800kg to LEO but only 9,600kg to a polar orbit.

Anyway, clearly larger satellites are much cheaper in terms of cost to LEO, but it’s still a useful datapoint.
Its whatever you want it to be, which is the greatest thing.

Sounds like something a non-aeron owning peasant would say to me.
Not sure if true, but whenever I've had a foreign born doctor, they tended to be better in my experience.

Presumably it would send the same data whenever it checks for software updates too.

I can't think of a threat model where downloading updates and downloading ads are different in terms of user privacy (except, of course, that a malicious update can do far more harm).

I kind of like this title, it in my view throws shade to all the regurgitated desire to reach the monk/quiet mind status.

And I intuitively guessed it to be about something like that, so didn't consider it to be clickbait per se, and the story was great.
The overall consumer market is decided by what OEMs ship in their laptops and desktops. Normal people cares about Intel and AMD as much as they care about the brand of the gasoline in their car, possibly less. Convince Dell & Co to buy from AMD and AMD is going to have the upper hand in consumer market.
Exactly. This is a really under estimated part of the value proposition. Look at how many Reels just have the TikTok watermark on.
My understanding is that hardware RAID is mainly a thing in the Windows world, because apparently its software RAID implementation is garbage
It’s hard to say what actually helped, but I tried a bunch of behavioral changes. Two I’ve stuck with are significantly increased exercise (half an hour plus of intense exercise every day) and a strict ketogenic diet. Even if they didn’t do anything at all for my primary condition, they’ve resulted in totally orthogonal improvements to my life. A couple months of rest (didn’t have much choice there - I couldn’t do anything else). I also used nicotine gum as a behavioral reinforcement drug to help “rehabilitate” myself on the way back to health, and THC to help me sleep.

FWIW, I think it’s unlikely my problem was burnout - I had a number of viral-characteristic physiological symptoms such as digestive problems, coughing, and heart palpitations, and I would be surprised if they had a purely neurochemical cause - but in either case hopefully some of these behaviors could help.
How would the statistics then be gathered that half were hit by the same?
At the other end of the scale, unrelated to severe trauma I truly believe we don't come back from anaesthesia entirely the same. I have no scientific basis for this belief, it's just how I feel about the experience of waking up from anaesthesia twice.

The "who am I" in this article is strong. Who is asking the questions? Is it the same "me" from before time? The other one, knew what parmesan looked like.

Worst injury out of the family, and I'd definitely agree with her. I definitely throughout the story was able to imagine myself being in her position and how dreadful it would be. I think self centered is totally fine, since it's her shitty circumstances that could really happen to anyone.

Rider is no joke. If you haven't used it or gave up on it a few years back, give it a shot. There are a few things it can't do like attach to managed modules hosted in unmanaged processes but it's a joy to code in.
I installed Ubuntu Server 20.04 on a spare laptop. Long story short, it did not have any way to connect to my WiFi network unless I either first went through the guided installation with an Ethernet cord attached, or went through some excruciating troubleshooting steps involving setting up hardware via obtuse CLI commands and arguments. I tried the latter just to see if I could without looking things up on my phone/separate computer, and even with a bit of cheating I still gave up and tried again with the cord plugged in.
Tim Cook have said Apple sold more M1 Macs than Intel-based Macs. In a recent Gartner report, Apple held 8% of the market share worldwide. This implies Intel has lost over 4% of the market in just one quarter.
I can't think of a polite way to say this, but as someone who professionally develops drone software, both of the software failures experienced by Ingenuity have been embarrassingly amateur at a technical level.

The first failure, which delayed the initial spin test, was described as a "watchdog timeout", which for anyone not familiar with embedded development basically means the code crashed. We all write code that crashes, but I am having trouble thinking of an excuse to justify the fact that their code crashed before takeoff, on Mars, and they didn't see it coming. There is nothing about sitting on the ground on Mars that shouldn't have been tested repeatedly on earth, and testing in production is _really_ not the right way to do Aerospace development (although Boeing Starliner would beg to differ)

Similarly, there are a huge number of things that can and will result in dropped frames when running Linux on a Qualcomm mobile chip, and having a software stack that infers frame timing purely from the sequence number is brittle, and would definitely not have passed code review and testing where I work (I actually checked, we do have a robust solution). If I had to guess, I suspect the root cause of the dropped frame wasn't actually anything exciting like a cosmic ray, but instead was some run-of-the-mill event that would have been caught by a couple hours of flight testing on Earth. Either way, it shouldn't have made it to Mars.

I'm sure that there are a lot of great engineers working on the Ingenuity project that _don't_ write these sorts of bugs, and am glad that theae amateur fuckups (barely) haven't crashed the drone before it has been able to do some incredible technology demonstration work.
Hey that’s me you’re talking about! Actually I dabbled a little in Swift to maybe I’m okay.

I'm tall, 6'4". I ordered an Aeron a few years ago, even ordered teh large variant. I was incredibly disappointed. Uncomfotable, short, and while very adjustable, not in some of the ways I wanted. I tried it for a month before giving up and gave it to my wife.

I ahve a Titan from SecretLab, most amazing chair I've ever had. I now have three, one at my home office, one at work, and one in a box for a location I haven't decided upon yet.
I have two Aerons. They are great and really comfortable. I think in general I hate office style chairs though and I prefer to move around a lot, lounge, or stand up. Its hard to sit for a while.

You can get good refurbs on ebay just avoid madison seating. They are a scam (got sued by HM). They list chairs NEW on ebay that are literally refurbs.
Hence the staying power of Robert's Rules of Order.

But if I insist on getting a motion, a second and a voice vote by acclaim during a monthly poker game, I'm not getting invited back.
Do you happen to have an inversion table and a traction pulley system?
How is your posture? You may go further by strengthening your back, hips, neck, shoulders. If every chair is uncomfortable it could mean the issue is more in your own physical state. You could invest some money in a physiotherapist to check you out.
Why do you find it “fantastically stupid”?
It is one thing to feed averaged relative motion into the control system, entirely another to feed in absolute position. The flight instability in response to navigational position error is incontrovertible proof of a mistaken design. Fixing the off-by-one coding error just papers over the design error. Testing clearly failed to detect the mistake.

I would not be at all surprised to learn that commercial quads share the design mistake. I was surprised to learn that NASA professionals copied it into a Mars probe. But, notably, not into the vehicle that delivered the lander.

eh, tricking the mind into reducing consumption is special _enough_.

if you want to rexuce intake, you could purchase smaller plates and bowls, because, again, your mind is tricked into thinking its larger portions.

Same for me. Slightly bulging neck. Itchy calves. Dry skin. Lethargy. Took years before anyone ran the relatively simple TSH test.
Yeap. Buying durable goods or electronics new is almost always an exercise in instant depreciation. Let someone else take that hit.
That itself seems like a fantasy, based on an immature worldview of goodies who know the Truth versus deluded baddies. How exactly are the young more honest than previous generations? What is this coming victory, exactly?
Look up the Object Mother pattern. The idea is to have 'baked' objects which you can use repeatedly in tests, which fulfill a certain scenario. For example a hotel reservation system needs to be able to handle a single person up to a whole family (maybe with an allergy or special needs thrown in for good measure). So you set up a bunch of Guest objects using a GuestObjectMother.

When you make a change to Guest, you only need to change the GuestObjectMother and any tests that may directly be involved in the change to Guest. Tests that simply require a Guest to be involved in the test probably won't have to change, as they're simply retrieving the appropriate Guest object and then handing it off to something else.

I do agree that cities should stop blowing tax payer money that should be spent on public transportation (looking at you 80 billion cali train)

But I support a fragmented society where towns are connected by highways and interstates and trucks and cars can travel freely.

Most of the disdain for cars come from city slickers burnt by traffic and lack of parking.

The City of Austin actually sent me a check (~$100 I think?) YEARS ago for opting into this when I first installed my Nest thermostat. It’s very transparent/obvious and easy to override when a rush hour activates (usually between 4 and 6 p.m.). It cranks your A/C for a bit before turning the temp up to 78° or so during the “rush hour” as it better distributes the load on the grid. If I was home working I would often turn it down some. I did like knowing when it was more expensive to run A/C, and it’s a no-brainer to let them adjust when you’re away. This article is very disingenuous, at least for how my utility implemented this capability.
