After the hype related to the Steam Deck I decided to give Pop_OS with a GPU passthrough setup another chance. I got a single card setup functional but could barely get a dual-card setup working. Problems included:

* Needed a USB input switcher and two video outputs to use it correctly. I tried Looking Glass but it doesn't work well with NVIDIA cards unless you have one of those $15 HDMI dummy plugs which are all made by sketchy Chinese vendors...
* Because I only have one USB controller, all USB 3 ports got stolen by the VM, leaving only USB 2 for Linux.
* Weird audio pops that I thought I fixed but would come back on reboot.
* Difficult to monitor certain temps.
* Random crashes during long sessions, even on low graphics settings. Hard to debug - you have to pick through both Windows and Linux logs.
* Random FPS drops, especially in LoL.
* Lived in fear of getting banned from some games (Also LoL)
* NVIDIA drivers would sometimes crash trying to rebind the cards when I closed the VM, so I had to reboot the computer anyways, might as well have dual-booted.
* Setting up OBS takes extra work.

Gaming in Linux natively was, for all intents and purposes, the same. The games I play (mostly online multiplayer) are either unavailable or unplayable.

After over two weeks of my computer being semi-functional and my friends asking me for the fifth time when I was going to be back online, I decided it wasn't worth it. I see so many people in these threads praising Linux gaming, saying it's now functional and simple to set up. They must either only play single-player indie games, know something I don't, or are being dishonest.

Still want a Steam Deck though.

To add to this, I’ve found engineers more likely to hang on time series and string manipulation problems. Likely due to a combination of not having to code low level functions in these areas, as well as infrequently encountering the problem.
Comments like this are why I read HN before the left coast wakes up.

It sounds like what they are looking for is a bank that lets you filter/pre-approve who can do a wire/ACH transfer. AFAIK no banks do this today. Anyone can do an ACH transfer and you have to realize this happened, contact the bank and have them reverse the transaction. ACH/wire transfers do not have the same transfer limits/caps of credit card transfers.

This is not the same as a credit card transaction. Many banks do offer some limits on credit card transactions and some fraud protection via 3rd parties and some also do virtual cards like you are describing with privacy.com. Citi has done this for a while, albeit a very antiquated bank to deal with.
Android is not exactly open, and Google Play Services is not FOSS. Its games are also mostly addictive micro-transaction-ridden trash.
I think Windows 10 is simply very I/O dependent, much more so than older Windows or Linux, so having that SSD or not would make or break your experience. I've had really new (8th gen Intel) laptops perform absolutely atrocious until I swapped in an SSD.

Ideally everyone should have an SSD in 2021, but that doesn't seem to have happened yet.

Great! Don't tell someone to get an expert unless you want them to not listen to you. OK?

I did say something about Fauci. He's an expert no?

> If that's the worry why does FDA approval matter?? this doesn't make any sense.

Because that's why some people are hesitant, lack of approval. Others like myself won't believe pretty much anything put out by the left.

It 100% is, you're just avoiding it because it's difficult. Just like before you weren't downvoting and yet now you are. It's pretty clear the convo didn't go the way you wanted it to.
I lose respect for their engineers, if that one was typical.

Hobby shooter here. In my experience, this article is behind the curve. For quite a while I could either get no target rounds, or limit 1 box per visit at the range. Granted, this is for 9mm, not rifle. The same goes for online. You would have to keep a tab open refreshing the page regularly, and grab it when stock showed up. Now there's plenty.

The common American brands are still scarce, but a number of eastern European companies cranked up production, and you can get, for example, some really decent Serbian rounds pretty easily now.

> Sure, some people might be annoyed they were spied on

I think it should be mentioned that other countries spy on citizens too. I fail to see what is the difference for Israel now. We have ample evidence from multiple whistleblowers that governments like to surveil their population.

Furthermore, Israel hasn't had the support it has today. Especially at the time multiple countries tried to attack it. At the time it basically got its weapons for defense on the black market. So scrutinizing questionable defense contracts is a weak accusation, especially since all other countries do sell weapons to regimes as well.

What you are really criticizing is the success. Making that clear might not really helpful, but is factual.
I suppose even the police are allowed to have mercy. Thank god.
What are they counting as anti-Jewish posts? Anything critical of Israel is often claimed by some to be anti-Jewish.

Precisely. If atheists are correct and there is not a god, you gain/lose nothing. However if the other side is correct and God does exist, the risk of existential woe is unfathomable. (None of this describes a personal perspective, merely things I’ve read)

I'm wary of pushing people to move on to something else because I know that if I was on the receiving end, I would think that I fucked up and the interviewer is trying to get the interview done early.

A candidate who spends far too long on a part of the problem without getting anywhere will get some guidance and nudging. If they take that on board and get back on track then that's great - they're responding to feedback and correcting course. If they remain too committed to their chosen approach and continue to struggle, then we've seen it with our own eyes.

At the end of the day, we're giving candidates the benefit of the doubt and recognising that, a lot of the time, it's their nerves that are doing the talking and you need to work with that.

A software engineer? Sounds totally unreasonable. A mechanical engineer, sure, it's going to be required material on their education.

The tortoise and hare algorithm is not the foundational skill required to make software work the way an understanding of motion is for building structures. That's why it's often omitted from educational material yet these people are able to produce usable software after even something like a bootcamp (which I guarantee basically no bootcamps ever touched this algorithm).

I'm not sure I approve of asking even more well known algorithms like Djikstra's algorithm or A* in a job interview, unless the role was something that specifically required that area of knowledge like building pathfinders for video games or robots or something.

Someone doing webdev fullstack for more than 10-15 years will know at minimum ES + (PHP/Python/Ruby/Java/Go...) + SQL + HTML/CSS and a few utility languages.

So at least 4. If you combine webdev with something low level/embedded, you need at least one systems language, so you're at 5 languages you need to be proficient in.

Add one hobby language or a second web backend or systems language, and you're at 6 major languages.

7 is a lot. But 5 is plausible to be proficient in for someone who switches between webdev and lowlevel stuff to not burn out, or has a FOSS hobby.
Eh, I've had two offers from Google that were far below the "market rate" I was receiving at some of the largest pre-IPO unicorns of the last decade, and their interview processes were substantially better.

The difference IMHO is in the expectations of what's required from the applicant. Switching part of the interview to be in Italian or German would not be seen as disrespectful as it does not add much (if anything) to the length of the interview, but asking them to fill a 30-minute quiz on basic Italian/German grammar would be disrespectful.

A bar pointlessly laid on the ground to be stepped over is reasonable iff it's you can just quickly to step over it - but if they ask the candidate to waste half an hour to prove their capacity for stepping over bars laying on the ground, that is disrespectful of their time.

For programming, a trivial short task (e.g. fizzbuzz) is appropriate but a trivial long task is appropriate only for junior positions but disrespectful for senior ones - ask something that tests whether they're capable of something serious, because passing the trivial task can't be sufficient anyway.
As if Israel would be the only country selling weapons to the Saudis and they even have a tactical excuse aside from making money. It is not an excuse and they perhaps shouldn't, but it is the reality of weapon deals today.
Home Depot near me has all Milwaukee M12 and M18 tools locked up. When the Milwaukee rep was getting something out of the case for me, I mentioned how unfortunate it is that they have to do this. He said they lost over $700k in Milwaukee tools alone in that store last year. Quite amazing and almost hard to believe. I feel sorry for these stores trying to walk the line between respecting your customers and not being robbed blind.

For a long time I've had a glimmer of an idea for a todo app that combined automatic carryover (and slow automatic pruning) of items from day to day coupled with a ever expanding set of selectable frontends to engage the user.

Example frontends would be things like "Wheel of Do" where you spin the wheel and it lands on an item, Castle Wolfenstien 2.5D shooter where a todo item is an enemy, a Star Trek style control panel, etc.

Like I said, its a glimmer of an idea but it handles the two things I have problems with in any todo app: an ever expanding backlog and getting bored with the UI.

Please build it someone, I don't have the time. :)
I remember Win98 opening the start menu instantly, but taking annoyingly long to open the "all programs" menu. Considering that this distinction is removed in Win10, Win10 on a 500GB SSD is snappier in that regard than Win98 was on a 3GB HDD.
I think the point is is that it's worth learning it, subjectively speaking. People tell me to learn vim properly, but I really dont believe I'll gain much based on the sunk cost.
I have done this. Is it really such an insane idea? Makes for a nice break from "what does this code do"? You need some technical "anchor" to make for more concrete discussion points.
> Miller has drawn the line at doxxing, or sharing other people’s addresses, or advocating physical harm.

Advocating physical harm is sort of what got their target audience kicked off Twitter/Facebook in the first place.
While I agree with the area especially for the LCD / screen mask approach I’m not sure if an array size limit is a valid concern since all traditional ASIC silicon is limited in the same manner if you want to do things quickly.

ALUs and SFU/FFUs and the rest have their own defined sizes for operands, accumulators and the likes a 32bit ALU can’t work on larger operands unless it’s capable of doing some complicated tricks which are often done in the compiler rather than by the instruction decoder / scheduler in hardware and if you need more than 32 bits you are going to see a major slow down because you need to break things into smaller pieces to fit your hardware.

Same thing with matrices if you have hardware that can multiply matrices efficiently then it’s almost certainly has a defined size and it’s up to you to optimize your workload to fit in that fixed matrix size of say 256x256.

Steer what to where? Are you saying Israel's history and present are not connected to Jewish history and the 20th century atrocities? That's an extremely bizarre position to hold.

I don't know who to believe. Compensation has indeed skyrocketed for remote positions, I can see as much from job ads.

At the same time, I'm participating in hiring for a UK company (for remote or onsite positions that pay nowhere close to Bay Area rates), and we're fighting off people applying, to the point where we can be very picky. These people are very qualified, and still trying to get into positions where you would assume the compensation to be under 70k £ / 100k $ based on public data.

From looking for a remote, well-paying role, I couldn't get a lot of interest despite having an okay resume, in roles where the tech stack is the exact one that I've been using for a while.

So, what is going on?
The parts that aren't open source are the google-specific pieces. Amazon has a thriving ecosystem (of mostly addictive micro-transaction-ridden trash) on top of their FireOS, which is mostly Android with the Google parts replaced with Amazon parts.

Still, Blackberry managed to make it easy to repackage Android (2.x) software to run on their QNX-based OS and there have been multiple demonstrations of Android software running on Linux with a relatively thin API layer. There's at least one commercial, IIRC, tool that does that for Windows.
Just dual boot and only use Windows for games? That's what I do but I haven't booted to Windows in months now.
lol as if those are comparable governments.
Any sources for that claim? That's a super complicated issue and saying "because Israel strong!" seems a bit simplistic to me.
A huge fraction of that 1% is probably concentrated in a few locales that have some nonstandard law enforcement policies enable repetitive shop lifting to be a viable source of income for the low level people in the scheme that actually take the stuff so while it may be a small percentage overall it likely makes a large impact on the viability of the many stores in those areas.

Their power tools are probably an outsize contributor to their overall profit margin so if there's something they really don't want being stolen it's those.
Well, these folks may know folks at places that don't do the hazing. I'd reach out if I were you and "just have a coffee" and explain you're looking but want to avoid the leetcode grind. They may have some advice or connections.

An alternative is to grow your connections by going to meetups or something similar (I know, more unpaid labor! But it will pay off.) After 2-3 months, you should know the regulars and can have the same conversation with them. For bonus points, offer to help out--meetups I've encountered are usually looking for some kind of help, whether that be running a meeting, finding sponsors, helping speakers or something else (even, in the before times, setup and teardown of chairs/meeting space).

I'm not sure why the NYT would find this surprising, it is le neuvième art.
I work at a bank and it's quite simple really. The systems we use at my workplace are so antiquated and wonky that even giving people read access would be a monumental effort. To put it plainly, modernizing these systems takes effort similar in order of magnitude to landing on the moon. Not for any technical reason, but due to the mountains of manual processes and general cruft built up around them. The EU is not deaf to these concerns, and therefore the laws end up falling short for no other reason than that they want someone to actually be able to follow them.

We are talking about things like "make a request at the wrong time and the system will be broken for the next 24 hours, and you are not allowed to speak to the people who know why".

People (myself included until a few years ago) buy into this "banks need to be secure and move slowly to maintain that" but really most of it is due to mismanagement. The "move slowly" is a rationalization.

The basic goal of US foreign policy has been to maintain a network of US allies and partners around the world, who can be relied upon to protect US strategic interests, like access through the strait of Hormuz.

Nations like Qatar or SA are fine, but ultimately they are dictatorships that occasionally do stuff like chop up journalists, so you don't invest that much into them. The US had a very close strategic partnership with Iran, which was in this mould, and it didn't turn out very well.

Israel, on the other hand, is a western-style settler-colonial state that has never had a coup, has a strong civil society, and frankly could have gone to the USSR at any point in the cold war and they would have been just fine.

Obviously, if you don't want the US to be a global hegemon, this policy doesn't make sense. However, the US state department almost always does, so this policy is totally rational from their perspective.

But I agree, too few companies have that perspective.
I like the metaphor of "bad apples vs bad barrels" But to me, that raises the question of how to tell the difference. Clearly, there can be individual instances of unique malfeasance in an organization. But I think it's mostly culture and expectations that allow for bad behavior.

Maybe the difference between bad apples and bad barrels is that the bad apples fear being found out by their organization. Average apples in a bad barrel believe that their actions are tacitly approved, even if the explicit "values" of the organization wouldn't allow them.
Okay, so we're not talking about whether bitcoin is wasteful, but whether its waste is justified, which is really the same thing. Other than that, it seems you're using the same invalid argument (other activities are more wasteful) as before. It makes no sense. Whether or not people defend more wasteful activities is irrelevant, for reasons I already discussed.
How does it differentiate from google jamboard or for that matter draw.io ?
Agreed, but the difficulty is that the Fed cannot easily distinguish between different kinds of credit demand.

They may justifiably want to keep interest rates low and loans easily available to help businesses and governments roll their pandemic induced debt until they can grow out of it.

But then some other credit worthy borrower comes along and snaps up those cheap loans to buy into some asset market that doesn't need any support.

And where they do have the tools to make that distinction they don't appear to be using them. I don't understand why they keep buying mortgage debt while house prices are already looking dangerously inflated.

That is an operation I never do. I guess slowness can be attributed to that the menu is application aware, customizable menu options per application. But there is also a slow animation when opening the menu.

And on top of that as soon as you hover above an item in the taskbar it wants to show a thumbnail preview of that window.

All combined the user interaction feels a bit weird.

I turned off "Animations in the taskbar" and I think the context menu got somewhat faster.

I wonder if it was 700k retail or wholesale? Regardless, it was a big enough problem across the chain to justify adding complexity and cost to the product.

Retailers are allergic to price increases and manufacturers tend to shy away from anything that increases the cost without being a marketable benefit or cost savings, so no doubt Home Depot recognizing the size of the problem and initiating a solution made it happen.
