It's C.

In terms of if it's bad? shrug. With a smaller heat sink, the chips are almost certainly going to be hotter (dunno how much.. at least 3-5 degrees, maybe up to 10?).

Does that matter? Tech youtubers love to emphasize cooling - which is fair, I think it's important, but I also think it's overdone.

From the end-user standpoint, the question is does this meaningfully increase the rate that their unit thermal throttles (the PS5 uses boost just like modern laptops/PCs... the xbox and ps4 did not) in like... 95 (or whatever threshold) percentile shitty (so like stuffed in a cabinet with air flow being impinged) environments.

Because of boost variability, it's gonna be kinda annoying to do true side by side performance comparisons. At the very least, you'd need to swap cooling solutions on the same silicon. No idea how feasible that is with the PS5 design.
At least in my California we do have touchscreens for people with disabilities who can’t read (they need an audio ballot) or fill out a ballot with a pen. But when the one time I worked on the polls, no one even used the touchscreen.
I'm a... jerk of all trades I guess? I do a bunch of different things, the biggest are support and sys admin stuff. I guess it's a devops/support job. So I deal with support in ZD and then do the work in GH. As much as I love ZD, I hate Jira an equal amount. Thankfully I don't need to do much in Jira.

How Computer Science Became a Boys’ Club
I had to move a MongoDB to PG database on my new job (old contractor created MVP, I was hired to be the "CTO" of this new startup) and I had some problems at first, but after I created the related models and added indexes, everything worked fine.

As someone said, indexes are the best to do lookups. Remember your DB engine do lookups internally even if you are not aware (joins, for example), so add indexes to join fields.

Another thing that worked me for me (and I dont know if it's your case), was to add trigram text indexes, which make it faster to do a full text search. Remember, anyway, that adding a index makes search faster, but insert slower, so be careful if you are inserting a lot of data.
I don't know, but I've dealt with biometric authentication that looks at blood vessels in the hand.
From your summary I'm not sure I understand what exactly your project sets out to do. People are still able to run their own independent blogs, after all. Are you thinking of blogging federation of some sort?
This is an open ended request. Specifically which elections were not open and accountable and now require an official audit?
This system is simple but it’s neither fast nor available. The thing you have to worry about with this kind of system is ballot stuffing which leads to needing an additional requirement to verify each voter and observe them filling out and depositing the ballot. This creates a bottleneck at the polls which is why every election there are news stories about people having heat strokes or being turned away after the polls close.

It’s also not available because making people show up to a few set of fixed locations at specific polling hours will exclude people who don’t have access to transportation which is why during the Obama election the big thing was the Obama campaign providing busses to voters.

If you’re willing to give up some anonymity (only that you voted not what/you voted for) then mail in ballots, public drop-boxes, and walk-in deposits are much faster and more available. If you can mail in then great! Done. If you want to go to the polls then you fill out your ballot ahead of time, verify yourself with the poll worker and then drop it in the box. Done. 30 seconds a person rather than 10 minutes a person.

I think the culture in the US surrounding voting is the real issue. The discussion is always around security and integrity and making sure only the right people vote which are the kind of problems people who read too many Tom Clancy books care about. Meanwhile we only get at most ~50% turnout every year and people have to fight to actually cast their ballots. And we pretend that our election results actually mean something when half the country doesn’t vote and the sample that does is so skewed because the factors that keep people from voting aren’t random.
Language is probably the biggest roadblock in getting a job in Germany and most people ignore it. German is not easy (my grandmother was a German teacher, some of my family members are of German descent and none of us is speaking any decent German) and Germans are more xenophobic than they will ever admit.

Even in my American company meetings with German people sometimes we have very awkward moments when the Germans switch from English to German mid-talks, even if they are peers or lower ranking than the non-German speakers in the discussion.
> I despise my commute because it's time that doesn't truly belong to me and I'm not being paid for. It's getting up earlier and arriving home later…

Actually, the length of your commute is the result of where you choose to live and where you choose to work. If you decide that you want those to be located an hour away from each other, like magic, that is exactly how long of a commute you are responsible for making.

There are almost infinite places you could live or work. I find it quite amusing that people complain and try to externalize blame for the clear result of a series of their own choices.
Brilliant. Fallacies are no longer fallacies when they are outweighed by the rational need to save face.
Stateful, exaclty once, event processing without the operational capacity to run a proper Flink cluster. This thing needs to be dead simple, pragmatic and cheap/simple to operate and update. The only stateful part in our infra at the moment is a PG database.

We are going to start work on this in a weeks, so I'm looking for some insights/shortcuts/existing projects that will make our lives easier.

The goals is to process events from students during exams (max 2500studnets/exam = ~100k-150k events) and generate notifications for teachers. No fancy ML/AI, just logic. Latency of max 1 min.

Our current plan is to let a worker pool lock onto exams (PG lock) and pull new event every few seconds for those exams where (time > last pull & time < now - 10s). All the notifications that are generated are committed together with a serialized state of the statemachine and the ID of the last processed event. Events would just be stored in PG.

This solution is mean to be simple, be implemented in really short timeframe and be a case study for a more "proper & large scale" architecture later on.

Any tips, tricks or past experiences are much appreciated. Also, if you think our current plan sucks, please let me know.
I have started to understand some of my own answers to that question.

Hour spent in city traffic is horrible. Nobody wants that.

But before pandemic I started taking a 5hr drive instead of flying (from Toronto to Ottawa FWIW) . It was the most zen experience of my life. And massive part of it was guilt free nature. I'm going to work, I would've been in a Taxi / security line / plane anyway, but I get to enjoy time away from to-do list and housework and project and obligations everything else.

Going for a walk, I always have million guilts in my mind - I could be vacuuming or cleaning basement or mowing the lawn or doing taxes or or or... Whereas a pleasant commute is seemingly externally forced, completely guilt-free me time.

Again only applies to pleasant commutes, which I feel are a rarity.

On aside,
How you approach commute also makes a difference. When I had downtown commute I was grouchy mcgrouch upon returning home in my manual hard clutch wrx.

Then I switched to a cvt gas powered scooter.
I still did all the same things - I did not lane split or share, I spent same time in traffic. But world has been opened up since I didn't have the hard clutch and roof and a pillar in my way. I enjoyed the stop and go traffic as it allowed me to soak up the beautiful downtown I never noticed before.

But most of the time commute sucks and ALL that being said I love my remote work. I am surprised that we are doing marginally better last year in communication and team cohesion and results than we have while in the office.

Don’t think of “argument” meaning a statement in support of something. Think of it as a synonym for “debate”.

“There’s no debate” as in “it’s so obvious, there’s no one on the other side debating that it is not true”
Correct, for most people. The book I quoted is by Dr Robert Lustig who is a leading voice on that point of view. He would more or less say insulin resistance is the root problem. Chronic conditions like hypertension are symptoms. The whole book is an argument in favor of curing the underlying metabolic disease with diet adjustment.
There's a huge difference between shadowbanning users on a public forum and interfering with private chat. Network effects keep people on these shitty centralized plaintext messengers. The only way we'll put an end to this is to force Facebook to allow interop between Messenger and other services. Then at least people could gradually move to a more secure system without losing their whole network of friends.
Oh hmm, I see how you mean, that's interesting... I'll think about that, thanks!
"James Hacker : Humphrey, what's a Modernist in the Church of England?

Sir Humphrey Appleby : Ah, well, the word "Modernist" is code for non-believer.

James Hacker : You mean an atheist?

Sir Humphrey Appleby : No, Prime Minister. An atheist clergyman couldn't continue to draw his stipend. So, when they stop believing in God, they call themselves "Modernists".

James Hacker : How could the Church of England suggest an atheist as Bishop of Bury St Edmunds?

Sir Humphrey Appleby : Well, very easily. The Church of England is primarily a social organization, not a religious one.

James Hacker : Is it?

Sir Humphrey Appleby : Oh yes. It's part of the rich social fabric of this country. So bishops need to be the sorts of chaps who speak properly and know which knife and fork to use. The sort of people one can look up to."

Things go over time & budget for lots of reasons. The biggest one is that the lowest bid is likely to win so the incentive is to under-estimate. But it's rarely because the contractor is intentionally creating more work.
> Really, we should just be switching to using scantron style ballots everywhere. They're paper ballots which can be efficiently counted by a machine, and are super easy to manually recount later.

Better yet, switch to Scantron style ballots with some clever mathematics in how the ballots are made, and some clever chemistry in how they are marked, and you can then make it so that all the ballots can be published afterwards, any voter can verify that their vote was counted toward the correct candidate, anyone can verify that the totals for each candidate match the vote, a voter cannot prove to a coercer that they voted the way the coercer wanted, and any voter can do a check before voting to try to catch shenanigans with being given tampered with ballots, all without requiring any changes to the Scantron counting machines so that there is very little addition cost for all of these protections--and for voters that don't care about verifying that their vote was correctly counted it works just like plain Scantron voting--fill in the bubbles next to the candidates you want to vote for.

I've been an EM at a startup and an F500. Don't be scared to have less meetings than your peers. I basically only do one 1-hour sprint meeting each sprint to review the last sprint and to plan for the next one. It may help to have standups daily at first but you can often make them less frequent over time.

Also, always avoid meetings to ideate. These are some of the most common and they are a huge waste of time compared to listing out ideas in a doc and having people review that asynchronously. And yet these meetings have a tendency to get called all the time. For example "there was a fire, let's get all the leads/EMs/directors together for 1 hour to figure out how to avoid this next time".

Your two most important duties are 1) making sure your developers are given space to implement what's important and 2) building relationships throughout the company to better anticipate future needs that helps you do #1.

> Black explained her rationale, but conceded that she didn't have statistics showing the likelihood of the hands matching.

It looks like an open & shut case to me, but this sort of thing should be grounds for concern in a court case. Evidence that can be statistically quantified should be. Especially novel identification techniques.

I'm glad that more research went in to the technique before the convictions started to happen.

Naturally, this is all phrased in general terms, and all hedged with e.g. the direct quote "While there is no one-size-fits-all number when it comes to a person's ideal weight, men should not ignore significant weight gain and the implications it has for their future health." Again, of course, you're pulling exactly the same sleight of hand: confusing a risk factor with an actual health problem. It's certainly not "true by definition" that being overweight means you are unhealthy, as you claimed.
Define workable model. Do you care more about recall (how many of the images with label X will be labeled by your model with label X) or precision (how many of the images where the model says have label X are actually with label X)?

It is a good fit for ML, but you need to be clear on what the results will be. If you expect 100% accuracy, that won't happen. Even 90%+ accuracy would be require a lot of effort.

Yeah, this generation of consoles are much more power hungry than their predecessors (you can just see that in their designs). PS5 draws like ~220W from the wall, Series X draws like 200+. The 360 draws like ~120W.
My general point was that a family centric society is safer, more stable, and more functional than a post-family society. More boring, perhaps, but when you're raising children, boring and predictable are advantages.

We can all agree, though, that dysfunctional families do not contribute to said stability.

> The famous n log n bound comes from the decision tree complexity, which in turn assumes that only comparison queries can be made ("is A > B?"). However, many domains give more flexibility than just comparison queries, and in particular there are known O(n log log n)-time sorting algorithms for integers (see, for example, https://dl.acm.org/doi/10.1145/509907.509993 ).

Sure, for specific subclasses of a problem there are sometimes known better algorithms than the more universal bounds, and there is nothing to say the same can't be true for knapsack. I said this in my other comment, but the most interesting example I am aware of is the Simplex algorithm, whose worse-case complexity is exponential, but which is (deterministically) polynomial for "most" classes of input.

Anyway, interesting to know that lower bounds for NP-complete problems are not known, thanks for explaining this. Thinking about it, it does make sense, especially if the correct lower bound actually has to be non-polynomial, but I had incorrectly assumed otherwise.
> there is no way to scientifically differentiate between an infinite quantity and a really huge quantity (same for infinitesimals), in finite time

That depends on the model of computation you pick, doesn't it?
What's stopping you from setting aside the time that used to be your commute to do those things? I get up 30 minutes early and go for a walk before work.
The ski trip one does seem bogus. The person obviously wanted to go on both trips since they bought tickets for both. Unless something has changed and they no longer want to go on the $100 trip in the future, then it makes sense to go on that one now to reduce future costs (spend $100 in future vs spend $50 on other trip in future).

Whether they enjoy the $50 trip more than the $100 one, or think they may do, is irrelevant if they still want to experience both (as one can assume by their having bought tickets for both).
Eh, it depends on where you are. Plenty of communities in the US where strongly held religious views will be looked down on. At the national election level it has to do with who votes (skewed towards older people who tend to have different views on religion).
Sounds like pedophiles will start to wear gloves, or similar ways to obfuscate hands etc., now that they know what people are watching for.
Not my comment, but I can answer for me. About 8 months into the pandemic I started renting a private office, and leaving my computer there, to avoid WFH. It was the best decision for my mental health I ever made, and I think the commute is an important part of this, because of the transition effect described.

So why not just go on a walk every morning, for that same transition effect? Because for me that would require sustained (or even increasing) effort over time to keep up, whereas the commute requires decreasing effort over time. Skipping the commute is a non-starter, because it has immediate consequences that my morning brain wants to avoid (having to email my boss/client to say I won't be working today). So over time it becomes a mindless, autopilot activity. Skipping the walk is too easy - if I'm in a rush or just not in the mood, I'll justify skipping it, just this once... The mental health consequences of skipping the walk are too long-term and nebulous to concern my morning brain.

I do also love going for walks by the way. But taking pleasure in an activity isn't a reliable motivator for long term habits, because it's so mood-dependent, and also because things get old when repeated daily.

I'm pretty sure we all know what dietary changes will extend our lives.

Here are some of my small dietary changes that yield substantial gains for human health.

1. No process food.
2. Eat fresh.
3. Don't deep fry your food (PUFA's).
4. Olive oil, Avocado Oil, Coconut Oil are healthier choices. Stay away from all other oils.
5. Try to avoid eating out as much as possible.
6. Refrain from drinking sugary soda or juices.
7. Fruits are special, enjoy them sparingly.
8. Starches (potato, pasta, rice, etc) should not be staples. Enjoy on occasion.
9. Don't drink alcohol or smoke.
10. Try to take a 30 min walk everyday.
11. Once a month don't eat after dinner on Friday until lunch on Monday (48-72 hour fast).
What exactly makes you uneasy?

In the case of Mesa County, CO, the breech of security was by a conspiracy theorist. There is no voter-level election fraud, so the USA doesn't need strict ID requirements. Colorado is particularly transparent about how they do risk-limiting audits of all elections, so fearing about electronic counting machines mis-counting is misplaced.

What exactly, are you uneasy about?

What stuff might be interesting in Bhagavad Gita for a scientist like him?

There shouldn't be an implication that science and religion are at odds - perhaps the cartoon interpretation of religion by some segments of intellectual society, but scientists of old were often struggling to reconcile their desire of increased knowledge of the physical world with their faiths.

Isaac Newton for example, wrote more papers about religion than he did about science and math[0]:

How much of Newton’s writing has survived?

A huge amount. There’s roughly 10 million words that Newton left. Around half of the writing is religious, and there are about 1 million words on alchemical material, most of which is copies of other people’s stuff. There are about 1 million words related to his work as Master of the Mint. And then roughly 3 million related to science and math.
