There is more to tech than software development. I reached a point when I no longer wanted to program yet another application. So in succession I had roles as project manager, business analyst, network engineer, systems architect and adjunct lecturer in software engineering.

I still program home automation stuff and various utilities but strictly for my own use. That way I minimize feature creep, have no software support / maintenance obligations.
The walk really slowly. The can "run", but only for a very limited amount of time before their servos overheat and the dog has to take a nap.
There's quite a lot of retro modern LZ activity too! LZ turns out to be amazing on old machines, often only a couple times slower than a block copy. Optimal compressors and control over the algorithm have led to some very tight demos.

https://www.brutaldeluxe.fr/products/crossdevtools/lz4/index... LZ4 Data Compression - a rather long and in-depth article looking at LZ4 on the 65816 for the Apple IIgs with a decompressor that exploits that processor's block copy.

https://github.com/emmanuel-marty/lzsa - LZSA - a LZ4-like modern LZ that's more efficient both in speed and compression to LZ4 (at least on the 8 bitters it targets) - includes a neat chart of speed/compression trade-offs on a ZX Spectrum with a variety of algorithms
Easier lobbying for increased immigration, H-1B visas, and other "necessary" sources of (easily exploited) labour to avoid rising wages.
You're right. they’re not. But no form of electricity production at the scale we need it, and the even more massive scale in the future, is environmentally benign. The challenge is to find the best way to leave chemical combustion behind, and fast. Notice the new interest in the old devil, nuclear fission, among various green groups.
Could you elaborate on the Stanford education reform topic?
What if they disagree with you on whether it's bad for society?
If your occupied territory is far from the main seat of your remnant empire, you MUST send in as many troops as possible in the short term and then as many immigrants as possible in the long term, to consolidate your overseas hold by means of demographic claim.

There is no great mystery here. What is interesting is how this behaviour from the Western nations is tacitly ignored but somehow China asserting its claim over HK or Taiwan becomes a matter for international outrage. The outrage would be more real if Britain handed over Falkland to Argentina and then they would have better moral authority to ask China to desist from expansionism.
You could buy houses in cash in half the cities in Ohio for 6 months unemployment + 3 stimulus checks. There are plenty of places like this in the US - Alabama, Mississippi, etc.

Sure - that is not the reason house prices in Marin are up 30%.

That's probably got more to do with central banks pushing up equities >30%. And probably because when you cut mortgage interest rates by 1 percentage point (which they did), you can afford ~15% more house.

In real terms - monthly payments for new housing purchases are down.
They are worse for whoever next has to swap out the outlet. Electrically it's probably slightly higher resistance than the alternatives, but it doesn't seem to really matter.
Why don't they just solve world peace and faster-than-light travel?

Because these things are hard. Lacking the ultimate solution, a small step is better than nothing.

Or do you only walk because cars and trains are too slow to get you to the next solar system so why bother ...?
"If their degree cost them $60,000 to obtain, it would take them four years to recoup their education costs ($60,000 net cost / $15,000 earnings premium)."

They completely omit the time spent getting the degree and associated loss of earning during that period

> Though I do think that Americans uses clothes dryers _much_ more than they should.

There are many reasons for this. Some of them are cultural, and other are legal.

Many Americans simply don't remember drying clothes on a clothes hanger outside, and aren't used to hanging them indoors as many Europeans do. And to be fair, indoor clothing hanging is time consuming in comparison to "transfer clothes from one machine to another".

But what many don't know is that it's often banned in many home owners' associations, and banned in many apartment leases, meaning that hanging your clothes outside is actually a luxury that many simply can't partake in.
Adults are also lonelier than ever, but this is accepted as a feature of the modern world.
In the early 1990s, all email was plaintext and transports were unencrypted.

In the very early 1990s, PGP didn't exist, and the odds that the email content was independently encrypted were low.

Any network sniffer or filesystem access would have exposed the cookie.
This comes after taking the learnui.design (UI and UX course), the course is well worth it (provided you put in the effort in lessons and submit for review). However, if you want to start, I highly suggest going through each and every article, on learnui.design/blog and his youtube channel where he redesigns. Quality stuff.
Off topic:

I learned about The Borgias while reading Mario Puzzo’s The Family. He spent like 20 years doing historical research about the family and their business and compiled a very entertaining book if you’re a history nerd which also likes a good narrative (even if that means concealing a little bit the historical strictness).

Mario Puzzo (yes, The Godfather’s author) died before publishing the novel and his girlfriend published it instead; the last few chapters are clearly hurried and that’s why you’d read bad reviews online. But I really enojoyed it.

Efficiency is rewarded by consumer buying (voting with money) efficiently produced products.

It's not some abstract evil ideal that drives the market. It's people doing purchases.

Now, good markets need good (perfect to be precise) information. If people knew this is where we would end up (say most production moved to Asia), would they have made different choices (say to preserve manufacturing in US EU with better worker conditions)?

I would argue our economic system is just fine. But we fail in political, educational and ethical issues. Especially ethical, people know about horrible conditions in sweatshops, still there are massive queues to shop at low cost brands. I feel clothing as the most egregious, because there are decent alternative choices.
I think leaving was inevitable. 20 more years wouldn't have changed anything. But it could have been more organized, not everyone is basically kicked out with a bang.

Many countries trip over themselves to start diplomatic relations to curb influence from other powers. The US and EU will quickly start foreign aid to stop China from exerting influence.
Bezos could pivot to something else space related, making his own niche while letting SpaceX continue on with what they do well. Musk is focused on getting to Mars and setting up some sort of base there. Bezos has already shown his interest lies in space habitats. BO even released their own renderings of potential O'Neill Cylinder designs. While those are a long way off, space stations already exist but have lots of room for improvement. Jeff could refocus Blue Origin on space habitats, using SpaceX as a collaborator on putting mass in space rather than as a competitor. I don't know the current status of Bigelow Aerospace but COVID19 seems to have hit them hard. Perhaps there's a role for Bezos and BO to come in and boost Bigelow's technology to the next level and beyond.

There are so many possibilities, it's a shame that he's focused on treading ground that others are already covering well.

You are welcome to compare the number of cases of suspected-but-not-confirmed side effects with the number of people getting Lyme every year.

You may find a difference of a few orders of magnitude.
Still my #1 movie of all time.
A lot of eyes are going to be on other papers by Dan Ariely (rightly so) and I suspect we’re going to discover a whole lot more data anomolies.

Zawinski's law of software: "Every program attempts to expand until it can read mail. Those programs which cannot so expand are replaced by ones which can."

Pre-pandemic, I used both Bluejeans and (Blackboard.com's) Collaborate Ultra.
Bluejeans already let you use your phone years before. Neither required an account for anyone but meeting organiser. Collaborate Ultra doesn't even have a native app (as far as I know), it only has a web app.

I have no idea why so many folks like Zoom; I find it to be less useful than either. E.g. using external monitor with different resolution is handled very poorly.
> you would treat it with antibiotics and be fine.

Funny how you are confirming the sentiment in the article. I'd suggest you read it.
By that definition all major browsers are trojan too because they can capture screens and windows via screen capture api.
I don’t think these two things are the same. Taiwan or HK are/were large scale democratic societies, economic hubs, cultural centers etc. The Falklands are a couple of strategically located islands in the middle of nowhere.
Yes. These are questions that I've always needed an answer for.
I went rapidly from support to infrastructure to applications business/systems analyst roles in corporate.

Due to circumstances I was then ‘promoted’ to IT mgmt very early and followed that for a while before realising that I enjoy the process of bringing new improvements to an org, and not the BAU/operational stuff (and not the line mgr stuff that comes with managing people).

So I switched to being a project manager initially in IT but nowadays for general business projects, and increasingly business strategy projects. It’s cool but it’s definitely not where I thought my career would go.

I get bored with too much of the same thing so this works for me. Find what works for you and don’t be afraid to try new things.

I’m not in SV so no idea if the pay is equivalent wherever you are but where I am it definitely is, in fact, I probably earn more in project management (I’m a program manager now)

Sure, at absolutely stupid price increases especially for smaller orgs. It starts at $42,000 a year... Also known as 840$ per user if you have 50 users.
It’s kinda funny that people are so afraid of burying a small amount of radioactive material, but are perfectly happy with dumping all the waste from fossil fuels in the air we breathe and the atmosphere we depend on to survive.
Doesn’t ring a bell, but I’m not an expert in Star Wars stuff. I don’t know if this qualifies as juicy, but let me just point out, as a general strategy, that if your boss puts you on a project that you don‘t want to work on, and you are in a position to ensure that the project will lose its funding by failing to meet its milestones...well, you can‘t work on a project that doesn’t exist.
Often same product with a different price sits on the same shelf in a supermarket. Some (most, in fact) people will buy a costlier version, because they can afford to pay more for (perceived) better quality.

I don't think you necessarily have g(a) >= 0 and g(b) <= 0. Finding the starting points for binary search might be essentially as hard as finding the fixed point.

No, I think you are missing key details:

Britain has already given up Hong Kong, i.e. (edit-->) according to how I understand you(<--edit) done the right thing there.

The problem with China is they have broken the agreement on how they should rule Hong Kong during the first 50 years, isn't it?
Does screen sharing still works with this method?
The strident media voices decrying the events in Afghanistan are hypocrites:

The Taliban were going to return to power sooner or later. If it had taken 90 days, far more people would have died.

The Afghan soldiers who exchanged their weapons for 150 bucks did the right thing.

The lightning fast, relatively bloodless takeover was the best possible outcome, given the reality on the ground.

The West has collectively lost contact with reality.

Plus Bezos has better access to his wealth. Musk was for a brief moment the world's wealthiest man too but that's mostly paper wealth that he doesn't have the ability to liquidate easily. Bezos can sell off Amazon stock quite easily and I'd assume (perhaps incorrectly) that Bezos is far better diversified than Musk.
This whole discussion is based on wrong assumptions.

You don't go to uni, learn about thermodynamics, and then go and build turbines. It's certainly possible to have such a career path, but you won't have actually learned the thing you need to know in uni and then applied it at work for the next 40 years.

What you do in uni is demonstrate that you're interested in certain things and you have enough work ethic to learn the exam answers. That's all.

I had a guy with a biology degree at an HFT debug a threading issue. Really smart guy. He didn't learn how CPP works in his PhD, he learned it in his own time because he had an interest.

I actually did study thermodynamics as part of my engineering course, and guess what, it's not in itself useful in finance. It's just a demonstration that I might be able to learn certain mathy things, not even the same things.

So coming back to this idea of ROI on a degree, there's only broadly two things you can demonstrate. I'm more of a lumper than a splitter, so you might have more. But the two things for me are whether you can do technical cave diving like figuring out what happened to that threading issue, and whether you have the capacity to read and understand a large amount of text, like being a lawyer or political science student.

The thing to remember is you don't just gain some skill in uni, chances are you mostly have personal preferences that are revealed, and that that is far more important than what you learned.

ROI in this case would seem to just mean "the kids who studied business did so because the are interested in business and so went and got high paying MBA jobs". Similarly for kids who liked building robots or kids who read a lot about history.

Finally I'd like to say we all need to learn broadly about the world, I don't condemn people who happened to not be technical. But education itself is worth pursuing just for it's own merits.
Yeah. that was a big secret.
Your parent comment was written in a way to discredit vaccinations as a concept and insinuate that it is cult-like. You may want to double-check your understanding of sarcasm. It works exactly the other way around.
seriously, what are you talking about ? and even if it was true, what does one have to do with another ?
I agree.
We also built and lived on a sea going boat.
You learn a lot about infrastructure to make yourselves independent.
As early as the late 70's, we had solar connected to a 12v DC system. That allowed us to run lights, radios, navigation equipment, refrigeration or heating, for as long as we were at sea. Sustainable for over 2 -3 years - Battery life was the limit.
{Well, obviously food and water at sea were also a limit.)
2021. That system is still running! everything you need is in there.
Thank you!

For my own enjoyment, for now.
Giving up Hong Kong isn't necessarily the "right thing" - Hong Kong Island was ceded to the UK in perpetuity ages ago, in the 1840s. Kowloon and the New Territories were on a 99 year lease expiring in 1997. The UK giving up Hong Kong Island is as "right" as America ceding California to the Spaniards in the late 1990s IMO. Both defeats occurred around the same time. The people of Hong Kong were as much Chinese IMO as the Californians are Spanish.

The really interesting one is Macau, which was Portuguese for almost 450 years - from 1557, but was ceded to China in 1999. So, for long before the United States even existed. It's a lot like ceding Roanoke colony to the UK in 1999. But worse, since they don't even speak the same language (Cantonese/Traditional and Portuguese vs. Mandarin).

[edit] But yes, the next wrong was that the CCP broke their agreement regarding the autonomy of their Special Administrative Regions and the effective dissolution of the "One Country, Two Systems" model.

One possible benefit of a DC-DC circuit is that the converter can choose its switching frequency. That can give some room for optimizations for power or size.
Because they typically omit "easily available". There's lot's of water in the ocean, why do people die from lack of water in the middle of big body of water?
Or your boss’s secretary was pissed at you because they liked that background very much.
But no analysis is needed. You say, A and B don't exist. I say, here it is! That you don't get that just are proved wrong won't any analysis in the world help with.

And no, there's no point in engaging. I've learned that people that still don't get it are using all their mental capacity to wilfully not get it. And at this point I don't care what ideological mental locks that prevent people like you to see what is clear and obvious.

If thousands of scientific studies and decades of dire warnings from scientists won't convince you, there's just nothing that will.
I was hoping that "add to your list" implied that 1) the list had additional items on it and 2) whatever finite set the list contains, it's incommplete.

Yes: the context in which data will exist in the future is not the same as the context in which the data were initially provided or created.

Hell, even the context in which data are accessed or provided virtually always exceeds the data subject's awareness or understanding, and would not be considered acceptable.

There was never a worker shortage. What there has been is a re-evaluation by workers of the value of their own work.

Even without Covid this would have happened as low-income workers in many areas were either rapidly approaching being unequivocally priced out of living anywhere remotely near their work, or already were.

Covid just forced the issue sooner and faster, rather than letting it fester.

Why would anyone continue working for subsistence wages that can't even pay rent where they live and work? Their only sensible options are demanding more pay or leaving.

In major cities, with current rents, it simply isn't feasible to pay janitors, garbage collectors, fast-food workers, restaurant employees, etc as little as they've been paid, for the very simple reason that they can't afford to live there on those wages.

Unless we're willing to give up sanitation, garbage collection, fast food, and cheap restaurants in those cities, there is no reasonable solution except increasing wages. (There are of course unreasonable solutions such as exploiting immigrants, wage theft, and prison labor).
It seems the TailRecursionElimination.cpp pass is responsible for that. It has some smarts to know that the xor instruction between the call and return can be turned into an "accumulator", although what exactly that means I'm unsure.

I was responsible for an in house tool, it required local admin to write to the event log I think? I don't even think that was a useful feature, but I never explained why or removed it. Merely demonstrated that debugging crashed out without admin rights.

New Dynamics – Now These Are TSMC’s Top 3 Customers
I'm confused. Do you mean the millions of "long covid" cases which already exist today? Or the estimate that about 70% of all people who got the vaccine will be dead within 3 years?

I know which of these two I consider gaslighting.
The article overstates the conversion losses anyway. Modern solar inverters are something like 95%+ efficient.

Consumer devices vary, but it’s a safe bet that modern cool-to-the-touch GaN power adapters are far more efficient than those old black bricks from the 1990s.

Saving a few % just isn’t worth all the incompatibility and inconvenience of rewiring your entire house for.

380-volt DC sounds dangerous!
I used to make myself annoyed when hearing "the internet isn't working" as well, but I've thankfully realized that that's a stupid response. Obviously they don't mean the entire internet, they mean "the internet connection".

People shorten phrases to make things easier to say, don't be a pedantic jerk about it for no reason when you obviously know what they meant.
You can test it by throttling your network speed down from your router and compare the desktop and web version performance. The desktop version will sacrifice video quality (to the point of stuttering on very low bandwidth) in order to maintain audio quality, which massively increase usability on poor network condition.
Surely it all depends on what you're using it for. Maybe I want to create a game where all characters look like that in real-time (think Borderlands but turned up a notch).
