There are immigrant associations that will take recent Chinese immigrants, train them to cook the US staples, help them find a new "territory", and finance the restaurant. It's really fascinating.
Yup. There are definitely people who would rather have the flexibility over money, but the problem is that all unskilled/semi-skilled labor is being commoditized and which prevents people in those labor class from earning a living wage in a reasonable time (40 he/wk) or often even in an unreasonable time(60-80 hr/wk).

Unfortunately the only lever we have in this area is minimum wage.
My expectations may be unrealistic in terms of the amount of research, but I think it can be done in an article that is not much longer than the one published. I think it's fair to assume that climate change is a thing, so further proof is not required. I think the public needs more context with respect to how it could end up affecting their lives, and a weather event like this one appears to be an ideal opportunity to present that.

I find it interesting that the language that best deals with parallelism (IMO) was invented significantly before we moved in the multi-core direction.

The programming language landscape evolved and developed in the face of multi-code - async being a classic example. But the language that's often held up as the best solution to any given parallelism problem is Erlang. Erlang was built as a good programming model for concurrency on a single core, and then when multi-core came along, SMP was 'just' a VM enhancement and no programs needed changing at all to get the full advantage of all the cores (barring some special cases).

It's funny how these sort of posts only seem to bring up male suicide when talking about feminism. It's almost like they don't actually care about male suicide as a problem just as a handy cudgel to be used against feminism. Yet when the conversation turns to things which actually have a major impact on suicide among men like toxic masculinity, they often deny such things even exist or is really just an attack against men. This is clear if you just take a look at a few more posts from the above poster. The only time they ever bring up issues with men is to contrast them with "how easy" women have it. It's got gems like this:

> "- Cult of female employment as their main role in society, which, in positions of power, happens to soften the stance towards criminals and deconstruct structures (hierarchies, things that worked to develop our nations, justice system). I don’t know the ratio for Cali but in France, 76 to 81% graduates of ENM (main school for judges) are female since 1977, and we basically free the criminals because they have compassion for them."

> "So I never demanded anything from my father up to the point I needed him. At 35 years old I told him modern women were unmanageable and my life was turning sour, and I needed help, I needed people to understand that men are being mistreated by the system, but I said it with ample documentation (you could watch the excellent movie The Red Pill, which depicts pretty much the complexity of our position), and that the only answer of society towards us is “Incel”. By the time I asked my father, I had already created some networks through politicians, but on the topic that interests me, all still had the same dismissive position, because promoting men doesn’t work politically. I’m saying that so you don’t say that I hadn’t walked my walk."

> "There aren’t many ways besides violence to be heard by people who refuse to hear us. I’ve already tried words! And more importantly for me: I’ve already tried taking positive action."
I don't "do" Windows any more, except that it's installed on the company laptop. I do all of my work on a Mac, and gaming on a PS. So I am watching these Windows 11 threads with a lot of amusement. The fact that Microsoft is playing games with this -- such that you can't be sure what's happening, even on their "pro" SKU -- is telling.
'ownership' is just a term to mean the physical representation of your expensive hardware. When you install Windows you can't just use the parts that allow you to benefit from their hundreds of millions of dollars worth of work without giving them the data they also ask for before you can use it. Everyone is moving to this but it only works because people still want to reap the benefits of the investments these big companies have made, so for as long as people pay for the products/use the products they'll continue to make using Windows/iOS/Android such a value proposition with the "only" price being yout data. No amount of money can match what they'll get in share value from having that user data.
This one does not, they spread their arguments far and wide. Reasons aren't important, the meassure is.

Wow. It seems that SF is getting exactly the outcomes they voted for, which is actually justice (though perverted). Policy-making in SF (and many other (cough)blue(cough) places) is done by emotion, not economics. And, political ideology there has literally replaced religion -- nobody in power dare vote against the severe orthodoxy, even if that means feces and human despair littering the streets and parks. What is their goal, I wonder?
I also would like to know more about this, if anyone could shed light on it I think it could be appropriate to understand the circumstances.
It's one reason why iOS had five years head start on Android when it comes to performance, perceived or otherwise, even with much slower hardware - they made much better use of it. Background apps? Yeah no, if you need any background activity, use a push notification service. Whereas on Android, for years it was the norm to just have your application run in the background and poll every once in a while.

MS is making me sad. I like what they are doing in some areas, like WSL2, but on the other hand, they are taking cues from Apple on how to treat computing customers.

The "we'll protect you, but you need to login and install everything through our store" paradigm is an awful trade, in my opinion.
True. But the statistical apple only falls so far from the statistical tree.

You gonna put trust the future of your community to the kid of some "activists" or are you gonna trust the future of the community to someone raised in a household where the parents were a little more professional?

Furthermore, the apple in question has spoken at length about their beliefs and seems to have only learned that you can't bomb your way into making people agree with you. It's one thing to judge someone by their parents when you have no indicators or when you have indicators that they're different from their parents. It's a much safer bet when you have evidence confirming they are the same.

I'm all for giving people the benefit of the doubt but that's impossible to do for Chesa Boudin since there is no doubt.
Yup. Very true. People hugely underestimate marginal costs.

They figure that they’re already paying for these things so the marginal cost HAVE to be small, right?
How to Use Affirmations Effectively
> Modularity brings a lot of baggage with it, like duplication of code and lifecycle management, along with increased resource usage (ironic, as the article is mainly about reducing resource usage).

I just can't conceive of how modularity, in general, causes duplicate code rather than reduces it. And this is before considering something like generic code which could potentially further reduce duplication. Every time we've been deliberate about using modularity in projects it ends up creating libraries that reduce the total amount of code across projects. Even if it's just in one project, good modularity has been used to reduce a lot of duplication.

It still sucks that, if you're not careful or unlucky, GPUs may interfere with normal video operation during setup.

Also on one machine I'm getting "GPU lost" error messages every once in a while during a long computation, and I have no other option than to reboot my machine.

Further, the form factor sucks. Every card comes with 4 or more DVI connectors which I don't need.

If parallel is the future, then give me something that fits on the mainboard directly, and which is more or less a commodity. Not the proprietary crap that vendors are currently shoving at us.

I've seen Chesa speak once. He referenced his parents when telling his story and has lobbied for their early release [1].

We aren't defined by our parents. Their crimes aren't our own. But if a child defends his parents' crimes and advocates against their prosecution, it's fair to bring it up.

"The sky is falling all the time" is the modus operandi of such alarmism.

Yet in actual reality, SF is SO bad that literally half of the world's tech professionals are crowding themselves into the city.

In the conservative American cities with 'better policies' and 'better policing' and near zero taxes to 'promote business', crickets are chirping instead of the prophesied economic miracles.

Notably the world’s reserve currency has lost literally 100x in purchasing power since 1933. That’s right, since moving off the gold standard the USD has lost 99% of its purchasing power relative to gold.

In 1933 $20USD would buy you 1oz of Gold. In 2021 it would take $2000USD to buy the same oz of gold.

It seems that the world’s reserve currency leaks approximately 99% of its value per century through the process of debasement which leads to inflation.

I would argue the world deserves a better store of value.

That still sounds like a subset of medical testing to me, where you're using the patient as your test equipment and ignoring anything the patient cannot sense directly (or fails to report). Perhaps you don't call the results of medical tests "symptoms", but to me this is an insignificant distinction. Either way we're talking about an observable result of some underlying condition; only the means of observation varies. Jargon aside, this approach still means waiting until after the condition has already affected the patient's quality of life, and perhaps beyond the point where it can be treated effectively, when it could have been treated and perhaps even cured before any symptoms manifested.
