> A large CPU with a small GPU would nice, while we're wishing.

My biggest annoyance with switching to AMD has been this. My previous Intel system has a Core i7 4790K, Intel's top tier CPU for their consumer platform at the time, and it had an iGPU.

It was not an amazing iGPU by any means, but it was more than enough to support two additional monitors "for free" which was wonderful while nVidia had a bug preventing the GPU from going in to low power mode in certain multi-monitor configurations. It also meant I had plenty of ports to support three monitors, a VR headset, a TV, and have some space left over.

When I upgraded to a Ryzen 9 3900X I tripled my core count and gained a fair amount of per-core performance, but I lost those extra ports. Now my graphics card is maxed out and I have to switch the HDMI cable between the TV and the VR headset.

They've slowly been moving the G models up the lineup, but it's still not possible to get a truly high-end CPU from AMD with an iGPU. It would be really nice, especially these days with standalone GPUs being unobtanium.
One person here strewing random, quite absurd theories about, and that's not me, nor the author of that in-depth historically factual piece. Not sure why you LOL at innocent people dying in prison, strikes me as a bit indecent.
Learned helplessness is real [0]. There are some assumptions baked into your view of reality. Lets explore them..

- Attractiveness is limited only to what a persons face looks like, the color of their skin and their height.

- Intelligence is limited to being good at math and coding.

- Earning a lot of money is the only way to get the respect of others. The opinion of others towards an individual matters even though they dont know the individuals circumstances.

- Not having a particular experience other people are having right now means I will never get to have this experience (or better) at any stage in my life no matter how old I live to.

Test these assumptions and why you feel this way to begin with. If you lack creativity in how to do this follow the suggestions of others or just randomly try different things.

Kudos on this comment. Had never considered the Bosch process (using hydrogen) for sequestering CO2 into graphite until reading this.
Not everyone can understand computer science, but I think the OP meant that your socioeconomic status matters more - gradual learning from age 10 makes college-level education a breeze compared to being disadvantaged well into high school and only using computers in order to live and use essential services.

I agree that the whole bad vs. good teachers thing is off-topic, though.
When I started as an intern, I cannot access a file under /etc (or some other privileged top directory). So I need to sudo cat or something each time I want to access the file. Then I decide chmod 777 /. Then the machine cannot boot up anymore...
I’m confused by the last part of your post.

Sounds like you appreciated that your boss gave you space to learn, and understood that you made an honest mistake, but you’d fire someone who made this mistake if they were working for you?

How do you square those two things internally?

That's a very smart way of debugging concurrency. I did a lot of logging as well when I was doing debugging concurrency. Overtime once you got familar with the projects, I started to develope instincts on how everything fits together. That's when reading code line by line, making educated gusses start to become viable way of debugging concurrency.

But for complex projects, reading code or relying on instincts may not work alone as brain power run out of capacity. That's why logging helps a lot

For non-food deliveries it could wait until you are ready (maybe even hours), or have some kind of robot accessible locker where the package is left, but food you really want brought to your door.

Declarative languages are then the natural choice. Instead of reasoning about arbitrary control flow semantics you can just think about what your program is actually meant to be doing. Then if you need to zoom in later and manipulate state/control flow directly that’s a new paradigm to learn.

Those of us who came of age in the 90s or earlier don't have the fond admiration of Microsoft that younger tech people seem to have.

I'm hopeful this spurs another surge of interest in better operating systems.
> This is such a bizarre non-sequitur that I can only assume you're trolling.

It's a simple concept conservatives like conservative things like valuing long strong friendships. They in theory, value and do well a small number of things.

And it's a simple concept liberals like many flashy new things, they value the new and different.

It's a fair idea to do friendships well you move to a conservative place. To get lots of friends who come and go, you would go liberal.

Why is this trolling? Its a reasonable thesis. I don't think it's perfect, but it's interesting.
The author has some interesting points, but with a labor price of $104.62 per sq. ft. it seems like there's a huge opportunity to reduce housing prices. That would be $157,000 of the price of a 1500 sq ft home. If factory-built homes could be assembled in a few days, instead of a few months, that would be a big savings.

Of course transportation is a big problem. Something like pre-assembled wall sections which can be more or less flat-packed with several other sections could get the transportation costs down. And if they could fit in shipping containers from China (or trucks from Mexico) the price could be even lower.

Consumer preference shouldn't be a show-stopper. Changing the color of the paint isn't any more difficult in a factory than it is on-site. Switching the model of window as well (though I can see how each change would eat a bit into the factory efficiency. There are only so many ways to lay-out a house, I seriously doubt each site-built home is such a custom design that it can't be a model number for a pre-fab factory. Regular home builders are already usually going off a small set of plans, not re-engineering home design on every outing.
Possibly, but I was under the impression that the free upgrade to Windows 10 (and the inexpensive upgrade for Windows 8) was to entice people to move to the new operating system in order to reduce support costs. By making a hardware upgrade a prerequisite of an operating system upgrade for a larger number of people will just encourage people to stick to Windows 10. That's especially true for desktop computers, where a moderately old machine will outperform many modern laptops.
The more slow, small vehicles there are on the roads, the more infrastructure will bend to accommodate them. Pizza delivery bot vehicles are my allies.
I'd say finally.

Like it's happening on the Mac, it's getting harder for the average user to screw up since software from "unidentified developers" can't run by default.

I can still run anything I want as a power user and that will not change on macOS and won't change on Windows.
The driver is signed with the certificate of the developer, an EV certificate at that. The “Microsoft signature” is just an attestation signature and does not indicate the software is from Microsoft.

Every driver that runs on Windows 7+ is required to be signed this way via the Microsoft portal.

Why the article seems to go out of its way to not mention the name of the certificate used to sign the driver first is strange.

They also fail to mention that this cross signature gives Microsoft the power to revoke the validity of the driver or every driver signed with the developers certificate.

Again this may not have fit into the crafted narrative they are providing.

To be honest, I would wait for Windows 11 RTM.

I mean if MS doesn't change the CPU requirements, then it means SP4, SP (2017) and Surface Studio 2 are not supported. Not mentioning millions of perfectly usable PCs out there.
What is the “absurd theory”? I have not presented any “theories” at all.

The entire premise of the article under discussion in this thread is (1) “Assange associate who provided evidence to the FBI is an attenion-seeking sociopath and pathological liar” (everyone seems to more or less agree on this point), and (2) “you should believe what he just told a random journalist”.

A bunch of people are claiming here that this proves Assange is an oppressed freedom fighter or something. Personally I think it furthers a general impression that Assange and a bunch of other people in the Wikileaks orbit were liars and criminals with questionable agendas and methods.
There's already many solutions for *dedicated* chess boards with electronic outputs -- they're common in major tournaments. (I.e. capacitive sensors under the squares). The point of OP's solution (as I understand it) is anyone can use their own, ordinary boards for this, with no purchase, using standard cameras.

I think it's awesome.

(I think magnetized self-moving pieces exist too, but they're not very impressive. IIRC it's just one 2-dof magnet under the board. But that's slow and more for show than utility. It'd be a handicap for blitz).
That’s true. Put them on the roads and highways.
It's not good to punish people for making mistakes in the course of their work (especially if that work is meant to be educational)

It is good to punish people who give access to production databases to people who shouldn't have it. And the guy learning MySQL should not be given that access.

Taking down prod is always a symptom of a systemic failure. The person responsible for the systemic failure should see the consequences, not the person responsible for the symptom.
You can access TPMs on Linux just fine so this entire "but then what if" chain kinda makes no sense. A TPM restricts nothing on its own, it's just a hardware crypto token.

I mean sure, if Microsoft decided that it wanted to do all of the things you said, and could convince all of the OEMs to help, and a bunch of services and ISPs or whatever, yes, that would suck. It's a totally fabricated hypothetical that would never play out, but sure.
> None of us are special for working in tech

Computer occupations as a whole have a median intelligence at least 1stddev in excess of the population median. https://www.gwern.net/docs/iq/2002-hauser.pdf I have to imagine that programmers in particular are even higher.
Marketing. People got downright hyphy about Big Sur and the M1 chip, and Microsoft, by comparison, has had virtually zero excitement points in the past decade. Having a new product renews interest in the brand. I haven't run Windows in years, but you bet your ass that when I saw 'Windows 11' I was like, whoa, what's this all about? Turns out it's a pretty tame, incremental update with a major version number slapped on, but I still clicked to find out what was up. That's worth something.
Google. Backup of filers. Conversion from NetApp filer dumps to tarball. I did open source a prototype of the tool. I don't know if it has the bug. The final version was to Google standard of C++ and maybe some cleaner abstractions. https://github.com/bombela/dump2tar
Yes. It's to ensure Microsoft always have full control over the code running on your device, so eventually Microsoft can require all Windows apps to come from its store, and you won't be able to do anything about it; because the hardware TPM module will reject any attempts to modify it.
That’s a great writeup, thanks for all the detail!

I was always worried about something like this happening so only ever provisioned (via ansible) one server at a time. When the logs showed it was fully synced, we provisioned the next node. It could take two days to add 10 nodes but I always felt much safer
You don't know why they skipped 9? Your argument makes no sense.

The comment above is 100% correct.

Just because Apple left v10 it doesn't absolutely mean Microsoft is just doing it to copy it. You're talking absolute nonsense. Apple doesn't even call it macOS 11 publicly so it doesn't even make sense from a marketing perspective.
I don't really get what you're saying, but Windows 10 was released 6 years ago, and they're committing to another 4, so that's a decade of support at minimum.
Well, I had a similar experience in algebra. Here's an equation; it's the problem we're trying to solve. And we do this operation to both sides, and we get a simpler problem. OK, I understand that. And we do another thing to both sides, and we get an even simpler problem. Great. And we keep doing it, and we get... the answer??? Not a simpler problem, but the answer? How did that happen? Blew my mind.

I eventually decided that what we actually got was a very simple problem, so simple that the answer was trivially obvious.

In contrast, it was trivially obvious to me what "x = x + 1" was doing, even on day 1.

Maybe I'm unique. But I suspect that different people trip on different things. Some trip on "x = x + 1", but that doesn't mean that it's a bad syntax. "x := x + 1" is going to make you type an extra character in every assignment over the next 40 years, in order to prevent confusion in a high school or college class. That may not be a good trade off. It especially may not be a good trade off when not everybody trips on it. (I didn't ask them to change the way they did algebra problems.)
> Every biologist knows that small groups in isolation evolve fastest.

This is more than backwards. Evolution does not only accelerate when you connect small populations into a larger one, it also starts happening on a higher level, selecting over collections of traits larger than what was possible before.

Group diversity (like speciation) of course depends on isolation, but individual diversity does not. It depends on a series of factors that are completely different for memetic and biologic evolution. (Personally, I don't know how either react to isolation, but since the author got wrong every single fact that I know, I don't imagine he has any idea either.)
> How are you supposed to pass this non human powered vehicle in a bike lane?

If I bike at 15mph (and other cyclists are faster), what is supposed to happen? Do I stay to the right, or if the bike lane is too small, get out of the bike lane and onto a ramp when safe? If the bot can do that (like a rear-facing LIDAR), then would the bot be more bearable?

> And if I am biking at 5mph, will it stay behind me?

Good point. I hope they have solved or will solve that.
I don’t know about the last part, but it’s correct that bicycles shouldn’t be on the sidewalk. It’s dangerous to both pedestrians and the cyclist (cars can’t see them, they appear too quickly, and will run into them when they have to drive across the sidewalk).
I stand by my original statement: consider yourself fortunate. The problem isn't that I'm consuming propaganda; it's that the people around me are consuming propaganda, despite best efforts.

If you haven't seen compassionate and reasonable friends and family turn into paranoid, irrational, hate-filled conformists as they become Extremely Online, then in all sincerity, consider yourself fortunate.
The second article is ten years old and reads like a "he said/she said" and the payoff is pretty underwhelming.

The political position of the grayzone is anti-imperialist which is an insightful way to view the US and its actions in central and south america for the past few decades. I am having trouble following the Nicaragua article as it is heavy on details. I know that one of the grayzone reporters actually lives in Nicaragua so I value their reporting more than a journalist based somewhere else.

It's infuriating that bicyclists run red lights, illegally ride on sidewalks and hit pedestrians, and generally act like the rules only apply when it suits them. Ask anyone who walks or drives in American cities and cyclists are the absolute worst, most aggressive, most illegal entities on the roads.
It would only apply in federal court, there are nuances surrounding the fact that the offer must have been unilaterally better than the actual judgement (i.e. if the offer came with an NDA attached, the judgement probably wouldn't).

Reading the article it looks like the accusations have been fabricated by a pathological liar. Their star witness against JA is coming out and saying essentially he did it to run from Assange since he ripped WL off for $50k and now he's coming clean about making the whole thing up.

Back in the Windows Server 2003 days, when you hit "Shutdown" there was a screen that pop'd up to ask you what you wanted to do. Shutdown, Restart, Etc.

I hit Shutdown, instead of restart. The server was in a colo a thousand miles away. Unfortunately at that time, a colo that didn't over overnight staff onsight (oncall yes, but not on site). Also we had no IPMI.

I had to page some poor dude at 1am to drive 30mn (each way) into the colo to push the "on" button. I felt terrible. (Small company, it was our one critical production server)
$300 gets you (apparently) the motherboard, 8GB of ram (non-upgradable, I assume the 16GB version costs extra), and 8 Zen 2 cores.

A Ryzen 3700X is $280 from a respected retailer in my search. And the lowest cost mini-ITX AM4 motherboard is $100, so I mark it down as motherboard for $40 and ram for free, not a bad deal given current prices.

State Charges 77-Year-Old for 'Practicing Engineering Without a License'
OP here, Yeha I did study in Waikato.

NZ is a very small market compared to the rest of the world, so there is a lot less opportunities here in NZ in terms of number of startups and number of tech firms. The salary is also lower compared to other developed countries. Any software engineer in NZ can easily get a 30-50% salary raise by going to Australia. A lot of talents ran away from NZ because of this.

There are still some exiting companies, for instance, Serko whom I am currently working for is expanding into the international market to seize the post-pandemic opportunities. But overall it's bit stagnant compared to other OECD countries.

Unfortunately the historical record lacks the information to provide a meaningful analysis of many of those people behind the scenes. Only the nobles were writing books, and the emperors only kept the ones flattering them.

Most popular accounts of more behind the scenes actions extrapolate heavily from minimal information. We actually have very little idea how Roman soldiers of various eras fought for example, descriptions of battles rarely describe the individual soldiers actions during combat.

I'm sure Duncan would have liked to do more about the people, Revolutions often tries to describe the lives of the multiple different sides.
