The 5700G is undoubtably better than the 4750G (unless you care about the pro features, I guess), but I don't think it's that big of a difference. CPU is one generation better, and GPU is about the same.

I don't know what the grey market premium is on the 4750G these days though. I got my two 4650G processors last November, and it was only about $20 over suspected MSRP to get them on Aliexpress, but 4750G at that point had fewer vendors and a lot bigger premium. At that time, US based marketplaces bumped the price by another $50+, so I took my chances with Aliexpress (I had to order my chosen SFF heatsinks there anyway, so I had a test run with a lower cost item) and everything worked out fine.
>This is basically the antithesis of my own moral code to give more than I receive.

This is mathematically impossible to apply universally. Can it be a moral code if it can't be universal?

Although this might be applicable if you live in a wealthy circle and there are poor circles.
If by "capability" you mean not supporting some latest standard that provides marginal benefit over established solutions (e.g, Wi-Fi b/n/c/whatever, "cloud printing") or anti-features (Apple's "Pro" touchbar), then yes. But if you mean being able to do anything actually useful, I'd say that maybe only those working with Audio Processing still are under-served by Linux Desktop - and even that will change soon with Pipewire.
I've heard the nobility of homelessness and joblessness expressed as an ethos countless times by people who wouldn't care for the work of living off-grid. I happen to work in a town with some of the highest taxes in the country that's also one of the most attractive places for indigent campers. The park across from where I live has become a tent city. I get the pleasure of paying for its "upkeep" while also having to step over needles and human waste every day. A natural extension of the philosophy that people who work for a living are amoral slaves, and that only the indigent are noble is, of course, that it's permissible to steal anything any worker drone has. When I got to the part in this article about his glee at erecting tent cities I really became disgusted. What's beautiful about it? It produces nothing of lasting value. It erodes the physical and social landscape. At best as a society itself, it's a drum circle, getting high, talking about the universe without doing anything much, and escaping. What future is there for anyone who wants all the parks filled with tent cities?

The one thing you can't do without money, without an economy, is take care of anyone else. You can give them things that other people gave you - castaways of castaways. But you can't produce anything new to help anyone. So what claims to be cooperative and egalitarian is really just parasitic.

Maybe it's not surprising that the largest effort made on behalf of parasitism is its attempt to disguise itself as something moral.
I am curious why would they even test this?, seems like somebody was bored or trying to meet monthly quota of articles.
Teen's Boneheaded iPhone AirDrop Prank Results in United Flight Evacuation
Do it! Site looks nice. :)
Wow, letting anyone use my network as a back haul in exchange for a cryptocurrency I’ve never heard of.

Sign me up.
I think this is a very interesting way to look at it.
Brings iPhone and iOS to mind, how they pigeonhole the user into using the device the way that they marketed it, going as far as removing functionality.
These programs have existed in several large US cities for over a decade. They’re not well known, though. Usually people who live in a city with one of these programs think that their city is unique for having done it.

The programs do help, but they’re not a magic bullet for all homelessness. I have a group of friends who have made careers in this space. Sadly, getting housing for these people is only half the of the solution. The temporary homeless really do use these housing units as a springboard to get back on their feet, usually moving out as they get their lives in order. The challenge is the rest of the residents who aren’t interested in even free services to help get them change their lives or overcome their issues. It’s also a challenge to get some of the residents to cooperate with the rules of these housing units (which aren’t different than regular rentals, nothing onerous).
The graph is with //#define cmp(a,b) ((a) > (b)) in quadsort.h uncommented.

Looking forward to your next spin.
"pubsub" is the same number of syllables as "PS"
For the long term chronic homeless, pretty high (that and/or mental illness). For the less chronic short term homeless, not high at all (or they wouldn’t be short term).
Nice! I like the gravestones for the projects haha.
It is obvious you know nothing about cycling. No peloton worth its salt will let a breakaway rider to march all the way long to gold totally unopposed and even worst, without being aware of it. This does not happen even at amateur or very young categories.

To the people downvoting me, you cannot wish reality away. But by all means continue living in your fantasy world.
Underneath a great deal of unpleasant associations, I did find a little inherent spark of joy in motion. Many parts of my mind that sometimes bother me don't have to be at work for me to be in motion. It's automatic and quite fun to just think about as you move.

When did you last put your mental attention pointedly, on the various joints and muscles of your leg and foot, as you walked? Tried to feel the minute variations in proprioception most of us can there. How the slightest shift would cause you to fall. But you catch yourself. How far can you lean and still catch yourself without moving your left leg? Or either leg and just your hip muscles?

I used to do that as a child. I think most of us do? Figuring out my relationship to the three dimensions. And gravity. While you should probably take care not to break your ankle maybe we should try to keep that alive long into adulthood?

From a less spiritual (I guess) angle: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurobiological_effects_of_phy... I think it's a "learned taste" for some. (If you're now going to go look for the runner's high because you're not sure you ever experienced it, please, see a GP first? Of any age, really. I'm not a medical prof. in any way. But that does seem to be often recommended if you're thinking to switch from light to heavy aerobic exercise.)
What’s especially clever is that all the sources that could/will discredit this device are ones its target audience would never listen to anyway.

“Oh, the liberal fake news is whining about how they don’t trust it because they don’t know how many megabytes it has or whatever? They just hate it because it’s conservative!”
I don't like any of those languages very much, but Zig seems perfectly fine for this sort of stuff. From the very beginning, I've seen people say that Zig should be used to offer easy, human-readable rewrites of basic C utilities without sacrificing execution speed. Meanwhile, I think Go would be much too heavy for a program like this, and D seems to be a little out of it's depths in this conversation.
There's nothing that can fix them for me. They're unreliable by virtue of being wireless and using a medium shared with many similar devices as well as things like microwaves. Wired connections don't have that problem — either they work or they don't because the cable broke or the connector isn't all the way in. They're much easier to troubleshoot because your devices aren't connected by invisible ether and common state in their memory, you can actually see and touch the thing that connects them.

Besides, I just don't trust the connection that is managed by software. Complex, proprietary software, that implements thousands pages worth of specifications. Where you would simply insert a plug into a jack and be done with it, in this "future" you now need to go through menus and click buttons, some of which sometimes do nothing, when your headphones won't connect to your phone. And don't even get me started on using the same headphones with more than one device. It's a ridiculous mess.

Then I just don't want my headphones to have a firmware and a CPU. I also don't want them to have a battery that ages and needs charging.
You are right that most big FOSS projects don't want your contributions, another ugly fact behind the open source myth. And why would they? How could you control code quality if you let randos write your stuff? You can't. No reasonable organization that is trying to make money from software would rely on people outside that organization to write or fix it.
I'm a little confused about how UE authentication works with open source cellular. Are there re-programmable SIMs that you need to buy? Or it only works with virtual SIM cards written in software on non-commercial equipment.

To ask simply; could I expect to easily connect my iPhone to one of these networks?
COVID-19....
I know it’s close to the truth, but it still feels weird that this hypothetical 50 FTE SaaS company has 2x the amount of sales/CSM folks vs technical profile. And that the whole product is in the hands of 6 devs (4x FE and 2x BE).
Like much in this announcement, the details are still to be revealed; but this is from the Developer blog :

Apps that use Passthrough API cannot access, view, or store images or videos of your physical environment from the Oculus Quest 2 sensors. This means raw images from device sensors are processed on-device.

The healthy thing to do is focus on simple problems that the chimp troupe has a track record of solving. Everything else is just noise.

For anything too complex, it doesnt matter who gets propped up or what they say, do or think, the chimp troupe is going to blunder and then blame, hide, defend, spin their attempts.

The trap is believing complex problems, above everyones pay grade, just requires pointing at it and finding the right chimp. That is not how the universe handles complexity and neither should we. Focus on the simple stuff. Complexity is for the clueless and the crazy.
It actually is about 50%:

Let's just say, and I know this from experience as amateur runner, when you ride an olympic effort you are probably not the best at counting and remembering things.
On nearly level terrain the peloton has a distinct aerodynamic advantage that lets them reel in most people who are just having a good day. People try it anyway and hope for bad luck, or leverage time bonuses if the rules allow it.

Big groups on a downhill are dangerous, on an uphill are too hot and cramped and so in both cases individual skill and power are outsized. If a technical downhill racer can break away on the last climb, they may be gone for the day. Tours have been lost or won on this tactic.

In a multi day tour a twelfth place competitor might pull away, even take a few people with them. The other teams may not be interested in catching, might have lesser members in the breakaway and be hedging their bets, so they can’t build consensus on burning their people to kick up the pace. They make think that they can wait for him to wear out and reel him in later, but there comes a point where from one update to the next they discover he’s still gaining on them, and oh shit do we still have time to catch? We better find out.

The worst for me is when they catch the breakaway mere miles from the finish line. Sometimes a person stays away all day only to end up finishing in the group, or at least beaten by all the sprinters.
"which is fine if you've contributed your fair share for 20 years"

I wonder what defines fair share. It seems that one could inherit, win, or take advantage of others to accumulate enough wealth to FIRE just as often (maybe even more so) than people who actually earned it by working. I say working because making it through capital ownership without participation doesn't seem like earning it in a way that is beneficial to society.

In the end, I don't believe that people who FIRE actually worked so much more and provided so much more for society than those who do not. Many socially beneficial jobs pay the least (teacher, social worker, etc).

Yeah getting your stuff stolen is a huge deal for homeless people because they don’t have much to begin with. So they value a lot the possessions they do have. Ever see a homeless camp or person with tons of black trash bags? That is everything that person owns. And the police probably can’t/won’t get that stuff back if it’s stolen.

You may be thinking “who would steal stuff from homeless people?” Other homeless people, so in a camp where they’re concentrated it’s a real concern.

There’s also the concerns that drug dealers will hang out at the camp/shelter since many of the homeless are addicted, and the ones that aren’t are vulnerable. Same with petty crime rings like shoplifters/fences.
Programming languages don't win because they are inherently better. Programming languages win because they fill a need better, or are more familiar.

There are better languages than other, that help people to write better code, have bugs be easier to find, push better paradigms. But thats not what decides a programming language winner. A winner helps someone do X faster or with less effort. If better languages want to win they need to both be better, and be first to tackle niche X before a worse / familiar language does. And do it sufficiently significantly better to overcome the "familiarity benefit" a worse language will get that enters the same space.

A not perfect example - typescript is almost the exact same language as JS and it took almost a decade for people to realize that unless you're writing small solo projects TS is better in just about every way. That is a best case scenario for comparison. Identical syntax, fully backwards compatible. On "language" a complete subset of the other (so no wars about losing a to gain be so is the trade off worth it), almost no new paradigm to learn and it still took our industry almost a decade to agree that it's universally better. If it takes that long to evaluate a clear cut case, its strong evidence that language benefit is not what primarilt drives language adoption.

I've been around since the arguments about how Python would never be adopted because "white space was significant and that's a terrible syntax choice." That its distracting and takes mental focus. I've seen all the arguments. When a syntax is different it slows adoption drastically. Not because its worse but people we're humans. People don't like change. Then Python solved a need bettet then everything else and it took off. And once you use Python regularly you see how absurd those whitespace arguments were.

JS and its approach took over because that's what the web was written in. If the language of the web had been chosen to be Lisp (as almost happened), everyone would be using Lisp right now without giving it a second thought.
It's really interesting how AAR scales per employee. The larger you are, better the ratio -- this helps explain why large companies can afford to pay so much more for top-level employees than small ones.

I'm sure this seems obvious to some, but I'm not enough of a business/finance person to have really thought about this before. It helps crystallize some dynamics between, for example, my current employer and my immediately former employer; the former is able to pay dramatically more (around 150% on salary, plus equity) for essentially the same work, and gets more and higher quality talent as a result.

I wonder how a smaller org can escape this problem, if at all.
Even so, where the rim is in relation to your hands is a function of the angle at which it is rotated.

So too is the torque and displacement of the hands needed to get a given response.
This study is from June, USA still paid a lot of stimulus money in June. Being happy from stimulus money is a bubble, it wont last.
If the F-150 Lightning is a serious project for Ford (and it seems to be), it will destroy the Cyber Truck in sales because Ford knows trucks, what buyers want, and how to sell them. The Cyber Truck has limited appeal to traditional truck buyers; it's a truck for someone who wants a truck but is worried about what their liberal friends will think.
Ask HN: Entry level Software Engineer phone interview, how best to prepare?
As the title says, I have a phone interview tomorrow. I'm working on switching careers from being a chemist to software development, so I'm even more stressed as I feel like I still have so much more to learn. The company is in NY, and I'm in Canada, but its remote so that's cool.

Regardless, right now I've been going over fundamentals (Python, SQL, JS and C++ are focuses of this company) and reviewing what I did for my GitHub projects, why I made certain design decisions and how I could improve them. I've been practicing some leetcode as well, especially since I failed my last technical interview a few weeks ago, and I know I need to improve on the data structure/algorithm questions that companies ask.

Is there anything I'm missing in terms of preparation? Any advice welcome, thanks in advance :)

>The pandemic has made the idea of economic collapse easier for the Average Joes to imagine, he says. As a result, the time could be ripe for considering alternatives to the status quo. Ideas previously believed too radical for consideration have already entered the mainstream, like a universal basic income.

I don't understand this. The idea of economic collapse? Did people miss the biggest economic collapse that just happened last year? It's already over. What could possibly be worse for an economy than a permanent lockdown? It's absurd how people are scared of full employment.
from Wikipedia --

In 2017, Federal Reserve Chairwoman Janet Yellen stated that "the balance of research suggests that the core reforms we have put in place have substantially boosted resilience without unduly limiting credit availability or economic growth." Some critics have argued that the law had a negative impact on economic growth and small banks,[8] or failed to provide adequate regulation to the financial industry.[9] Many Republicans have called for the partial or total repeal of the law.[10][11][12]
Konqueror is still popular on Arch Linux
May be I can clarify, when I said, "it suggests..." I probably should have said that if you follow the logic all the way through, they don't want to actually solve the issue. Who cares about how you feel? Do you want to solve homelessness or do you not? What other alternative is there?
Your criticism is about the tax system, not UBI. If you want to change the tax system to target those issues, that sounds like a good idea. It's sorta orthogonal to the conversation about where those taxes go, though.

Not sure what you mean by slightly larger SUV — the Y is the same size as an X3, the X is the same size as an X5. Cheaper cars, sure... and clearly that will be their strategy as they scale production.

You could also argue that the Cybertruck announcement puts additional pressure on competitors. Do they write it off as a certain flop and proceed with their plans? Or do they begin designing a similar truck so that they're not once again 10 years behind if the Cybertruck is successful?
Please don't do this. Not only is this a violation of the agreement between you and the ISP, but consumer internet pipes were never designed for this type of service. This is only feasible if the internet coming to your house is a business line, which it won't be if you live in a residential area.
> But I think security here is to prevent or react to violence, not necessarily theft.

Perhaps I'm quibbling, but I suspect that violence and theft aren't necessarily separate categories of incident.
As a one-off barter or contractor arrangement sure, but in the U.S., if you're paying anyone who'd be considered an employee, you have to pay at least minimum wage in cash or equivalent, except that you can deduct the cost of room and board if you provide it.

If Amazon were to pay its employees with company scrips, employees could shop at whole foods and buy at least a loaf of bread and some bananas with a week of pay. Banana sandwiches can go a long way. Buy some peanut butter on credit and work some O.T. to pay it off.

I think the answer is in the article. They don't just provide shelters, which have many issues on their own, they put the homeless in apartments with tenant agreements, dragging them back into society.

In most of Europe there are enough shelters for the homeless, but many people avoid them, I'm guessing violence, theft and strict rules is what turns them away. For example, whenever there's a cold snap, the Romanian police is canvasing all the homeless locations and bringing everyone in shelters...I guess they prefer dealing with homeless people rather than dead bodies.
So that means I can only wait for Signal to at least work and run fast enough and reliably on Anbox before recommending it to Android users who use Signal to make the switch to either of these phones.
