It may be definition differences between the two companies but here's the first thing that came to mind: by any chance is your new employer a much larger organization? In smaller companies you get to wear many hats and typically have responsibility over a wider stretch of <work/tools/technologies>. In larger companies things tend to be much more siloed. So in a larger organization, the things you did in your previous position would likely be spread across multiple positions and teams.
There is a lot of blame to go around.

A few years back my father had a valve replacement due to childhood rheumatic fever. At ten days post op he woke up with an unstable heart rhythm and went to the hospital. They gave him drugs to get the rhythm under control, which failed. After two days, I get a call from my sister, a neurologist, telling me to get to the hospital immediately. When I arrived, he was short of breath and in a bad way. At the hospital my sister took one look at his EKG and remarked that he was at risk of going into tamponade at any moment. She asked if anyone had bothered to do an echocardiogram when he was admitted -- they hadn't. She just about chewed out his nurse and they ran the echo. Lo and behold, he had pericardial effusion: a half litre of fluid was compressing his heart. They rushed him into the catheter lab, drained the fluid and his symptoms resolved immediately.

On Monday I was having coffee with a coworker and mentioned that my father had a valve replaced and he'd been in the hospital over the weekend. My coworkers immediately remarked, "Oh, he had a pericardial effusion." The medical staff had become so fixated on his erratic rhythm that they had forgotten the context of his case: if someone shows up with symptoms of a post op complication, don't start by trying to diagnose an unrelated malady. My coworker? His mother had a valve replacement and had a pericardial effusion.

That's a lot of words to say: checklists save lives.

anglo-saxon culture is shame-based not guilt-based

there's some influence from classic/Med cultures which are guilt based, through greco-roman philosophy or Catholicism, but by-and-large Northern Europe and NA are shame-based cultures and don't really believe in repentance or contrition, but social harmony and restitution

in a shame-based culture asking for forgiveness is largely an empty gesture, and conversely in a guilt-based culture asking for an apology hollows out its meaning and it's seen as a political/diplomatic thing, done outwards for social effect
This is how you actually use Reddit:

- It's unusable on mobile and always has been. Don't bother trying. Use unofficial apps, not the Reddit app. For example, Apollo on iOS is excellent. It's an indie app with a really great, responsive developer. Pay real money for an ad-free app like Apollo.

- For desktop, set your user settings to always visit old.reddit.com. Yes, this is an official setting that's part of the user profile settings. If you want to stay logged out, there are lots of Old Reddit redirect extensions.

- Always use Reddit Enhancement Suite on desktop, you're missing out if you don't.

I believe Reddit's leadership knows that a decent subset of their longer tenured audience values old.reddit.com, but at the same time I wouldn't want to necessarily blame them for wanting to get new users on the app and using the newer website.

For everyone that thinks they're "yet another Digg," I don't think so. They have deliberately made it so that their existing users are allowed to use Reddit in the old way that they want to.

We can get upset about the dark patterns, but it's also true that social media customers are categorically not willing to pay for that kind of product. If Reddit charged even a small fee like $10 a year they'd have probably 1/10th of the visitors they do now. It just doesn't make business sense not to run off of the "data vacuum" model. Sorry, the MBAs are right in this case.

As an example, there's a common Internet meme where people joke about how nobody in their right mind would pay for YouTube Premium, even though it's on many levels an excellent product and a fair business model to pay for the service without seeing personalized ads.
More like a hostile and unregulated environment adding costs to doing business.
Yup. I've worked with all kinds of CPUs so I can definitely see it in more embedded applications.

I skimmed the paper but I couldn't get a sense of how the CPU scheduler works. What causes the CPU to switch between threads? A common need that I've seen, even in the more limited applications you're describing, is preemption & thread priorities. For example, a driver thread may need to preempt other threads that may be running or we want more of the CPU to be devoted to running some thread even when all threads are runnable. How is this handled?

Re blocking of threads, is the only way they get blocked because they issue an RPC request & thus the CPU then magically knows to switch to a different thread? Is there any other blocking operation that might require needing to switch threads & if so how would that be accomplished?

Another thing I've experienced is that not all HW is DMA'able for cost or space reasons & thus you frequently find such I/O busses to be implemented via bit-banging (e.g. IIRC some times you might have 2 UARTS & only 1 can be used with DMA & the other must be bit-banged). Is that compatible with your approach with all the same guarantees or does this 100% require every I/O system to be part of the DMA network? Or maybe your DMA design is more cost-effective than how CPUs deal with I/O today?
I don’t really know why it works, but I have an L5-S1 disc protrusion, and the Aeron chair is literally the only chair I can sit in for more than an hour without my back hurting. From just looking at them, it doesn’t seem like desk chairs are shaped all that differently, but I guess there’s just something subtle about it that keeps the pain away.
Just from the name, I expected it to be a new idea of WeWork https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WeWork#Ventures but IIUC it's unrelated.
For me, the benefits of the Aeron kick in at hour 8 or so.

+100F in Sun isn't at all uncommon during a hot summer in the upper Midwest if the object is dark. Air temperatures of over 100 are a semi-annual occurrence, typically around August, so a dark object (such as a roof or blacktop) pushing 120 wouldn't be a surprise at all. Still not as bad as AZ, but it's not that much different.

We aren't even close to a desert or space either- forests, plains, lakes and rivers abound.

Dutch public broadcast, paid from taxes, even added Widevine DRM to the online player a few years back. It's a massive PITA because the player is kinda bad and constantly buffering. I wouldn't even mind so much if it actually worked well :-/

When they added it they even trolled people for a day or so by having all the non-DRM requests download a clip from Office Space (the "mine!" stapler guy), so that's what all the downloader scripts ended up downloading.
Yeah, why would anyone want an historic record of e.g. newscasts etc to be publicly accessible. That could only cause trouble!
I just scan the text quickly with a focused mind and get whatever words I recognize, the meaning is completed automatically. Then read slowly the interesting parts, one or more times for deep thinking, memorization and enjoyment.
That supposes a fast block device (i.e. one that can accept/queue reads/writes in its controller faster than you can context switch to the kernel to submit those reads/writes.)

For a slow block device, with no controller-side queue/buffering — say, a floppy disk, the original use-case for dd(1) — you really want to try to ensure that each read(2) or write(2) is for exactly a single disk sector; otherwise you'll end up suffering from read/write amplification which could give you a 2x-or-more penalty on your copy. (Or you rely on the kernel to buffer and coalesce your writes. But that presupposes you're writing to a filesystem, not directly to a disk.)

(Now that I think about it, I'm kind of surprised dd(1) doesn't default to doing "adaptive" block sizes, like TCP's window size — starting low and adjusting up until it finds the optimum, and adjusting back down if it ever notices writes doing patterned straddling slowdowns representing IO "packets" getting split.)
My OnePlus One (old, I know) worked just fine this winter. I was able to read on my phone the entire 20 minute walk to the store and back. It's when I got home into the warmth that it would end up rebooting/saying the battery was empty.

It's possible that the phone generated enough heat to stay warmer though. The main problem with operating it was actually how cold my hand that's holding the phone gets since it doesn't move like the other hand does. I had to wear double gloves.

At our company, ML Engineers do both the modeling work and the larger engineering that allows those models to interact with the product. So all the models are built by ML engineers, as well as a lot of the production data engineering that gets any needed data to and from the models in production.

It’s just battery chemistry, current capacity and voltage are depressed by low temps.

Some phones aren’t engineered very well and regularly pull current near their battery’s capacity which is just poor design.

I experienced this, too. The forced adherence to pixel-perfection was rather annoying. At first, I thought the narrator animations were communicating something - "look at this thing" or "put your cursor here" while circling. It took about 10 seconds to work out that this was a character attribute and not communication.

You just are not "smart enough" (don't have enough working memory and attention capacity) to fit all (or any) these people thoughts in your "observation window", you already have immense amount of information processed consciously and unconsciously in it and all around it which clouds this function of perception to the point of near-impossibility.

Some meditation techniques can let you develop nearly direct perception without ideas but as soon as you want to use this to read someone's mind that already is an idea and makes this impossible.

The title implies the opposite of the finding, i.e. all of those factors make it less likely to spread.
Intel CPUs are also a bit more flexible on the high end: if you want 12T of RAM in one machine, you still need an Intel 8-socket machine. I wonder if this is costing AMD a bit in the server space.

What browser fingerprint are you seeing in your research? I don't believe Leith et al found any such issue in their review at https://www.scss.tcd.ie/Doug.Leith/pubs/browser_privacy.pdf, nor did I in https://brave.com/popular-browsers-first-run/.

I'm happy to discuss any requests you like; we also document all of this to the best of our ability on GitHub as well (https://github.com/brave/brave-browser/wiki).

As for disabling requests, this is a valid petition. Our goal is to have no extra requests when and where possible. We've worked hard to keep them to a minimal. There are some requests (e.g. product update requests) that we've been hesitant to make more easily blockable, since this could potentially leave large swaths of Brave users disconnected, and increasingly vulnerable.

Good luck finding an LCD with any concrete health benefits beyond any other. The industry literally just adds a bunch of gimmicks each year to see if people bite. All I can say for sure is IPS prevents you from needing to fix your head in one angle (especially for low contrast images), and most LCDs are too bright.

This reminds me of another issue: If you have a monitor with overdrive and use a color temperature adjuster like redshift, the overdrive smearing is often super bright while the rest of the screen is mellow.
Many people I have known remarked on how an older person they know has a failing body and an active mind. The mind being the most important.
What's your definition of "regularly"? You're probably ruling out most of the US southwest. I made the same comment about people living in areas that are routinely >90% humidity, mosquito infested jungles and was totally slammed for it. People moving to those locations are the odd ducks to me. People born and raised there don't have a choice.
Purely anecdotally, it's been a very long time that I encountered a non-Intel server. I actually wouldn't be surprised if the numbers were roughly in the right ballpark, ±5% or so.

More than that; every level will be affected by this. It affects the timing of enemy and platform spawning which means the enemies and moving platforms will be in a different position when the player typically reaches them. In many cases that timing is an intentional part of the level design.
I'd invite you to watch the show Alone, where many survival experts have had to give up in the first day or two because they opted not to bring a fire steel and don't want to freeze.

You're right that it's possible, but how long it takes, and whether or not you can do it, are dependent on skill and environment. Wrong kind of wood? Screwed. Been raining for a day? Screwed. Sometimes this can be overcome, but you have to know what you're doing, and it can still take hours to generate enough heat to dry the wood until it's possible to friction combust it. Try it sometime, just bring a lighter with you.
Microsoft's insistence on maintaining native backwards compatibility with software some of which is as old as me is so perplexing.

This is why Microsoft has such a huge presence in corporate - unlike you or me, most corporates do not immediately update to latest, hi tech flashy tool of the month. If something works really well, they'll keep using it, sometimes for decades. And demand that Microsoft don't break it on their OS. Microsoft will happily support them as they earn a lot from corporate licenses and support.

Apple doesn't have the kind of importance that Microsoft does in corporate. Nor does Apple have to support the kind of hardware and software that Microsoft does, and so Apple's monoculture helps them makes changes to their platform faster than Microsoft can.

You would think that people working in software would understand the idea that your assumptions about the environment your product is in are very often invalidated during real world testing, but this thread doesn't seem to bear that out. Perhaps the mountain of abstractions, automated retries, fault tolerance, and error correction that makes technology as reliable as it is, has made us complacently unaware of just how hard it is to build something new.
A piece of metal sitting in the sun can get that hot pretty easily in lots of places, even if the ambient temperature is much more reasonable.

Yeah, this is the constantly overlooked option and I highly recommend it (not the chair, never used that), get a little box to rest your feet on if you get a stool/bar height chair that doesn't have something comfortable (most have a terrible and useless metal ring).

The really nice thing about a standing height desk and a tall chair is that you can just sort of constantly slide on and off the chair so there's never a need to like set a pomadoro as a reminder to move. You can just constantly fidget if you want.
