Yes, you stoned.

Humans enjoy looking at man-made structures. Even loners on islands build.

To live in invisible infrastructure would be unsettling. Seeing security is part of our happiness. As are ideas around wealth. And work and fulfillment.

It also allows us to enjoy nature. Without it nature to us would be nothing, just 'is'

Happens all the time when something goes wrong, like malformed files, wrong driver loaded, etc. All printers have an internal buffer, so when one goes crazy printing pages of gibberish, the only solution is to kill the job directly on the printer, or turn it off asap, then go to the computer and empty the print queue should something exist there as well, then do the same at the print server, if there is one.
The point is that once a print is started, all buffer will eventually end up to the printer, so it's the 1st device we must stop and the last one to restart once we're sure no data to print is left between the application and the paper, that is, not before all spoolers have been emptied.
Yes agreed, sorry I was thinking in terms of a new product, testing the value prop with users, which is probably better stated as requirements gathering.
Wow, yeah what a different market. Even with a high paying SWE job, home ownership for me (mid twenties) continually feels like an always increasingly expensive goal that grows more distant of achieving.

Cheap chargers can interfere with capacitive touchscreens because cheap chargers have a lot of electrical noise in their output. This noise gets coupled to the touchscreen and causes problems. Specifically, the touchscreen controller needs to measure pico-Coulombs of charge which is difficult when there are multi-volt spikes coming out of the charger. The chip can perform various filtering to deal with this noise, but that slows it down. Some touchscreen chips even do frequency hopping to avoid the noise (kind of like a military radio trying to avoid jamming).

Sandy Munro, by now, is a Tesla shill who can't be taken seriously.

I've seen him say quite negative things about Tesla, and quite positive things about Tesla's competitors. Examples: He stated that the Ford Mach-E battery case is a structural component. He's also touted injection molding as a means of achieving some of the same things that Tesla is doing with aluminum casting. He praised some aspects of the ID4 motor housing design as superior to Tesla.

Can you give me an example of something Sandy Munro has said which IS NOT something good about a Tesla product, where he has clearly sacrificed engineering concerns? As to his statements about Tesla products, everything he's said makes sense to me, and it's my sense that almost all people who call him a Tesla shill simply don't like what he has to say.
Chair Gary Gensler's Remarks Before the Aspen Security Forum
I'm with you that Xi represents a threat to the order Deng created, most scarily by exceeding term limits, but I think invoking the cultural revolution is several steps too far at this point.

Xi is more a fusion of traditionalism with nationalism for political convenience. None of that is compatible with banning monasteries, struggle sessions and sending people to the countryside as he personally was.

The biggest threat from Xi, imo with a crystal ball and huge error bars, is a brezhnev-like stasis where he stagnates the country in order to stay on top for multiple decades. Hopefully he isn't allowed to do that.
Back when I was just getting started, we were doing a lot of WordPress stuff. A client contacted us, "oh yeah, later today we're probably going to have 1000x the traffic because of a popular promotion". I had no idea what to do so I thought, I'll just set the varnish cache to 1 second, that way WordPress will only get a maximum of 60 requests per second. It worked pretty much flawlessly, and taught me a lot about the importance of request coalescing and how caches work.

You could reduce the frequency by using an accelerometer to skip updates if there's no motion, and increase frequency if there is, thereby staying below the 5K limit.
The secret of *nix that people don't like accepting is the file approach is often the right approach.

Consider lowly embedded linux. You COULD dig down deep into the documentation of which register, which interrupt, which special memory address needs to be written to interact with the right ports on a embedded linux board. All while adding a bunch of safeguards and checks to make sure "Only you are doing this".

Or, as if often the case, you can simply find the right /dev/xxxx device and read from it or write to it.

9 times out of 10, you'd not suffer any negative consequences from using the /dev/xxx system as intended and you get the bonus ability of being able to interact with the outside world using programming languages other than C.

There are no really bad parts of Tokyo. One of most economically deprived areas, Minami-Senju/Minowa, is popular with backpackers and doesn't really look much different from anywhere else in suburban Tokyo to the untrained eye. (The trained eye will spot quite a few aging day laborers drowning their sorrows in cheap sake and a lot of down-market brothels though.)

A little hopefully constructive feedback:

1. The original link was to the source, which I would think would take precedence over a second-party review of it, even a skilled one like Levine's.

2. The source's actual title is "Credit Suisse Group Special Committee Of The Board of Directors Report On Archegos Capital Management". The editorizialized title ""Postmortem in finance: How Credit Suisse lost $6B [pdf]" isn't bad, includes a [pdf] warning, and is more descriptive of the content for anyone not aware that Archegos lost $6b of CS's capital. And how they lost it is certainly interesting.

3. Maybe if you change a post link from the original source, also link the source back in the comments. Levine includes it in his article below the fold [1][2], at least, but that might not always be the case. Lots of web writers these days like to write about reports and studies without actually linking to it.

I found that was the case when first learning other concepts in programming. It's not until you experience working on bigger projects where you find some tools become useful, and examples in the books are sometimes to concise to express their true power.

"Downloading" here means that it sends something to your downloads folder and doesn't participate in the normal browser UI. When I use a browser, I generally expect to use its UI. If it transferred a PDF but showed it in the normal UI (colloquially not referred to as "downloading," although yes, it still is an inbound transfer of data), it'd be less annoying.
How did you add network cards? Do some printers have PCI expansion slots?
I've implemented this manually in some golang web applications I've written. It really helps when you have an expensive cache-miss operation, as it can stack the specific requests so that once the original request is served, all of the stacked requests are served with the cached copy.
I love ‘In Our Time’ - it strikes a really good balance between being academic and accessible. The range of topics is so broad too that you find yourself learning about things you didn’t even know you wanted to learn about. For example, scrolling to a random point in the podcast feed, I see than in four weeks in Dec ‘18 there were episodes on the thirty years war, ‘Sir Gawain & The Green Knight’, the poor laws and Venus.

Bragg’s book ‘The Adventure of English’ is a good survey of the evolution of the English language too.
I don't know how you can defend these crappy products. I don't want to baby a cable, and yet I have to act like a crazy person when ever someone touches my "precious" cable. Any other usb cable on my desk I can twist and bend at my heart's content, and I know they'll outlast the spec they were designed for.

The only reason I use wireless charging now is because it's cheaper and easier than using broken cables. Sadly the one in my car looks like the terminator's arm when he cuts off his arm skin.

I'm genuinely curious why you think that.
> third party [Switch] docks sometimes frying consoles

Simple: an early third-party dock for the Switch, made by Nyko, implemented USB-C incorrectly and could deliver up to 9V on the CC1/CC2 (configuration channel) pins. These pins are only supposed to have 5V on them, and a USB-C interface IC in the Switch was frequently damaged by that voltage.

The Switch was fine. The fault was entirely in the dock.
Your observation is closely related to Moravec’s paradox of artificial intelligence: “It is comparatively easy to make computers exhibit adult level performance on intelligence tests or playing checkers, and difficult or impossible to give them the skills of a one-year-old when it comes to perception and mobility.”

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moravec%27s_paradox
My idea is more fun though :(

On a serious note, I unfortunately don't think that would make companies behave because the problem with corporations is not specifically bad leadership but a more systematic one.

Hierarchies just naturally cause communications to breakdown between different levels of an organisation with sufficient scaling and this will lead to inevitable conflict between workers and management which will further expand to conflicts between the company and their own userbase.
Yes, that is the main argument and I agree with it. But bundling it with EA is just inaccurate.

Longtermism seems to me like one of many deadends that utilitarianism takes you down if you embrace it and only it as your moral theory.

A little bit of utilitarian thinking can be fine when you have another theory to tell you the "why". That's why I don't have any problems with EA which is usually quite concrete
Companies consider any employee who is not selling (not bringing in dough) and who is not an exec - a liability.

HR's exists to keep minimizing liabilities - maintaining set of excuses to enforce minimal possible pays, ensuring employees have little or no say over important matters, prioritizing diversity over talent and painting a good face over all the necessary corp BS to maximize profits.

Engineers are necessary evil that "cost lots of money but doesn't bring any revenues". This of course an idiotic point of view but that's how execs are thinking.
This! In a world where oil discovery, extraction and distribution was ever increasing, betting on a bigger energy pie in the future made sense. All of our macro-economic theories were developed under the naive assumption of an increasing fossil-fueled bonanza.

But in a world of no new oil fields and increasing costs for extraction, we no longer have the ever-growing pie to fund our future financial obligations. Credit looks risky and economic decline seems inevitable based on the energy availability alone.

That's not even mentioning the externalities of fossil fuel consumption: climate impacts, ocean acidification, mass extinction, etc. make these economic issues even harder. Or is it the other way around? Either way, "this can't go on" and fossil fuels are a central part of the equation.
I mean, yeah. This is not something I WANT to happen. Just, it's probably going to happen, and honestly, it'll probably worse than Nazi Germany. I'm not trying to be some kind of Gaia-theory genocidal advocate. Just a realist who's starting to see that humanity is NOT solving the climate crisis in a manner that involves consensus, agreement, and cooperation. We sincerely suck at those things recently.
Lebanon is basically reverting to mean, going from a multi-cultural and Christian dominated nation, to a Muslim nation:

https://www.economist.com/img/b/580/852/90/sites/default/fil...

The Christian age bracket in the 21-25 age range is 25%, 50 years ago it was 50%.

Historically, Lebanon has never been Muslim, the mountains served as isolation from the religious changes of the region, and it was a major centre of Christianity during the crusades, and remained connected with Europe.

But in the 20th century, French colonialists enlarged the territory to encompass large areas of Syria, which held Muslim populations:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lebanon#Ottoman_Lebanon_and_Fr...

These populations proceeded to overtake the Christian populations, with the fertility rate in 1971 being 5.44 for Muslims and 3.56 for Christians.

This divide remains, in 2004 the fertility rate for Muslims in Lebanon was 1.82, for Christians 1.53:

https://www.lstatic.org/PDF/demographenglish.pdf

A 2009 study found cousin marriage rates of 30% for Muslims and 16.5% for Christians, cousin marriage is commonplace throughout the Muslim world:

https://marciainhorn.com/wp-content/uploads/docs/inhorn-arti...

In 2019 the GDP per capita of Lebanon was $7583. It will eventually (and seems like rapidly) fall to match its Muslim neighbours eg. Jordan ($4405) Egypt ($1667) Syria ($2032).

I realise that these topics are unpopular, but you cannot divorce the economic and social downfall of Lebanon from the demographic changes taking place there.

I wonder if such behavior is common for police in Santa Clara... Maybe he just did what he's been doing before, but this time without "qualified immunity" shielding him.
> By comparison, many parts of the US feel like a 3rd world country.

That's because you're comparing small nations to a nation that is better compared to the EU in size and diversity. The EU has dozens of third-world ghetto zones and the bottom 10% of the EU is exceptionally poor by first world standards.

The poorest areas of France also look like and function like the third-world, the quasi ghettos on the outskirts of eg Paris. It's more rare for large nations to not suffer from such poverty problems, and few accomplish that (Germany and Japan get close).

The largest population nations: Russia, Brazil, Indonesia, China, India, US, Pakistan, Nigeria, Bangladesh, Mexico

Do I need to point out the condition of the bottom 1/3 or 1/2 in most of those nations?

Ever read up on how the bottom quarter in Russia - Europe's largest nation by population - are faring the past decade (it's beyond dire, to put it politely)?

It's a small miracle the US isn't far worse off than it is.

Have you considered trying to work with Rotten Tomatoes? This kind of functionality should really be built into the site. They actually have top X of each year by category pages, but the categories and years are hard-coded to single values, don't allow drop-down filtering, and don't allow ranges. On the other hand, their rankings are more reliable because they adjust raw scores by factors like the number of reviews and ranking of the critics giving the reviews. You might consider doing something similar if you can scrape that information as well.
So would we be having this dicussion if the author had written: "Two years later, all the “diverse people” they had carefully collected had left, and the company had backfilled with almost exclusively cisgender heterosexual white guys."?

My guess from your comments is: probably not, from your perspective? Much of your original post that I disagreed with is about the use of the term itself.

But I don't get that sense from the reactions posted by others, since those other quotes I included don't seem to be justified by this article at all, to me.
I don’t know about Varnish, but having worked on other implementations, you would usually have a timeout on the initial lock (semaphore) to prevent a slow connection from impacting all clients.

But this is much, much harder to do once you are already streaming the response - if the time to first byte (TTFB) is quick, but the connection is low-throughout, you can’t do much at this point. But nearly all modern implementations stream the bytes to all clients immediately; they don’t try to fill the cache first (they do it simultaneously).

Some implementations might avoid fanning in too much - maintaining a smaller pool of connections rather than trying get to ”1”, but that’s ultimately a trade-off at each layer of the onion, as they can still add up.

> Fish are much more closely related to you than to sharks

Sharks are fish, so this clearly isn't categorically true. You probably mean either bony fish (for which I think it's kind of questionable that its true) or more specifically lobe-finned fish (for which the case is stronger.)
In 99.99999% cases it could have been email or an IM chat. Except maybe sales and customer meetings because clients love to talk to real people.

Octopus eyes did not, in fact, evolve independently. This claim is repeated ad nauseam and is wholly false.

The common ancestor of octopods, insects, and humans had eyes, and coded where to put them with the same gene in all lineages that have eyes. This was demonstrated by inserting a vertebrate "eye here" gene into a fruit fly embryo, causing an eye to grow there.
