7 Basically a sendoff of Vista / Apology for it. *They could have updated 7 forever and I'd be happy.*

8 Bad

Wow! Had no idea that VMware would run on a rpi. Thanks.

It’s interesting to think about the different markets for the rpi. I would never consider the rpi for learning. I only look at it as an inexpensive system to run my favorite distro. I want it to run CentOS or NetBSD, etc. rpi OS is meaningless to me. I want it to run the stuff I use every day.
> Everybody that isn't somehow colorblind can reliably distinguish between a basic number of colors, say Red, Green, Blue, Yellow, Orange, Brown, Green, Purple, Pink, Teal, and to add Black and White allows for all the grays.

If you're not deaf you should be able to distinguish between wide swaths of the scale too. Especially once you give the swaths names and get used to that.

> It's when you start mixing these that naming them is harder because there are many more variations than there are notes on our 'regular' Western scales

Not if you stick to pure single wavelengths. You could divide that into a mere 50 colors and I doubt people would have a chance at naming them reliably.
In non-violent communication, the needs (broadly) are: connection, physical well being, honesty, play, peace, autonomy, and meaning. Hard to argue against someone needing those.

I intended to use a singular form of “anecdata,” not of “anecdote.” See, for example, [1] and [2].

This is anecdotal data, and while it is not common anymore, the singular of data is datum, thus anecdatum.
I wouldn't use the term adversarial for this. Ideally in a house transaction, the main thing is that both parties want the deal to happen - the seller wants the money and the buyer wants the house. They very much have the same goal of getting the deal executed.

Now obviously all other things being equal, I'd rather pay less money (or charge more money)

But in most cases, neither the seller nor the buyer operating in good faith will really try to squeeze the other because losing a multi-hundred-thousand (or even million+) deal by being too anal about $1000 is in neither one's interest.

If a seller got very "adversarial" most buyers would say "fuck you, I'll keep looking."

A friend worked for a company in Vancouver that rented a building big enough for the 30 person team to work. Before covid they went almost entirely remote, and all 30 people are flown to Vancouver ~8-10 times a year, put up in fancy hotels to do a 4 or 5 day course in the hotel function room.

It's cheaper for the company to pay for all of that than to rent the office space permanently.

Because it establishes an exploitative precedent that shouldn't be followed. Because it hides the true cost of a project, which may result in poor decisions later on. Because the cost of a decision/process should fall on the person or company who has the ability to change it. Because using wages to pay for business expenses wasn't part of the employment agreement. Any one of these would suffice.

For personal expenses (meaning expenses for my own hobby projects, not "personal expenses" to mean business expenses paid by an employee as you have used it), $21 would be a quick decision. But using that same $21 to shore up a faulty requisition process? Nope, not at all.
It’s good enough to be submitted as a new Cards Against Humanity prompt.

It makes a lot of sense to me as well having seen code for model viewers using WebGL. Before gltf, (relatively) standardized PBR materials, etc. it kind of made sense to just give people WebGL and tell them to figure it out. Also WebGL clearly was designed for browser games and game engine ports where it makes sense. As 3D models become more common, having robust fast implementations, standard controls, etc makes sense. As long as WebGL/WebGPU interop is good so it's possible to customize materials or still use model loading (if you want) but do your own draw calls I think it's fine
>They are overflowing because of the unvaccinated.

Source for this claim? Asking because I see stats being thrown around constantly: unvaccinated are 97% of ICU patients, etc. The only problem is, there's no data to back it up.

I've followed sources to the very end to try and locate this data but it doesn't exist. Most lazily point at the CDC but even they openly admit the data isn't reliable because they aren't tracking breakthrough cases correctly.

Maybe your source is legit.
Thank you for the in-depth explanation.

A couple comments earlier people were talking about where does this stop, 1000$ a month? A 3D CAD license with the ability to do FEA is around 30 grand a year, I’ve seen seats of specialized software cost north of 100k a year per seat, and that’s for people that 100k is probably pretty close to their take home.

So where does it stop? Is 250$ ok but 1000 isn’t?

I think we’ve set the line just fine, if you want to cover opex out of pocket, cool. But don’t try to put that on people who can’t afford it.

Perhaps surprisingly, the matrix logarithm does not satisfy log(A) + log(B) = log(AB) in general (only when AB = BA) which is why you cannot use it to "multiply by adding".

WarpDrive: Extremely Fast Deep Multi-Agent Reinforcement Learning on a GPU
The Supreme Court struck down the federal moritorium [0]; and there wording made it clear the issue was the CDC exceeding it's authority under current law (as opposed to a fundamental constitutional issue).

As such, this ruling has no bearing on state issued eviction moratoriums.

Having said that, the New York moratorium (which was passed as a law by the state legislature) expired today (August 31, 2021), so that is a moot point in this case. For completeness, I will point out that the US Supreme court also evaluated this state law [1], and mostly allowed it to continue. The only change they made was allowing landlords to contest the claim of hardship from the tenants. For further completeness, that was the only part of the New York law the Court was asked to rule on, so conceivably they would still have overturned the entire thing if the proper case was brought before them.

I mean, you're not wrong (I assume), but you're also just excluding the hours which involved accidents.

The USS Puffer [1], Proteus [1], Dace [1], California (twice) [2], Truxton [2], Gurnard (twice) [3], Hawksbill [3], and Abraham Lincoln [3] have all unintentionally leaked nuclear waste into the various bodies of water [1].

The USS Guardfish managed to irradiate it's own crew enough that 4 of them were sent to the hospital, and later managed to contaminate the submarine again while dumping radioactive resin into the wind. The latter form of incident is described as "quite common" [2].

The USS Aspro [2], Sam Houston [3], etc managed to leak radioactive water internally.

The USS Sam Rayburn "is mildly radioactive when it returns from patrol in February 1984. The Navy says this radiation is so mild it cannot be detected by a Geiger counter. " [3] (whatever that means)

(I make no claim that this is a complete list, or even a particularly reliable list since I didn't check my sources sources or anything like that, the point is there have definitely been accidents).

It's true that "there have been no spectacular meltdowns", but you're also talking about operating in an extremely controlled environments of a ship that you control. I don't think the army is going to have as an easy a time at it.

I think you and the parent you're responding to agree more than you realize. They're describing the modern nation state as if totalitarianism and a Hobbesian state of nature were the only two alternatives, sprinkled with revolution. You're describing it as if the social contract was premised on mutual consent, missing the larger point that consent of the governed has historically been just a stopgap against revolution. (Really, if you believe you're in a hostage situation then revolution is the only way out).

I agree and disagree with both of you. They're right that institutional power can and does get away with trampling the social contract, to the degree it feels it can. You're right that the contract itself is (supposedly) premised on mutual consent. But both of these strike me as defeatist postures. They both have in common the idea that the contract is with the state which holds all the power. What I think you both miss is that every state and every government is just made up of people. Whatever durability liberal democracy has, or the fact that it's emerged repeatedly over a couple millenia and shown itself capable of out-producing and out-warring autocracies, is not as much premised on a Hobbesian contract or a legal contract, or even the consent of the governed, so much as it is on the consent of those in government, their own sense of social status, and the degree to which that status results from their exclusion of the people they govern or their need for approval from those people. To the extent that all these incursions on privacy are still being done in the name of protecting children or stopping terrorism, as phony as that is, it gives the people in power a psychological pass for doing what would otherwise be Stasi or KGB style intrusion. It makes them acceptable at parties and makes them able to believe that they're "the good guys". The collapse of the USSR came about because the individuals tasked with oppressing the population - from Gorbachev down to the border guards - could no longer view themselves as the good guys if they did these things to their countrymen. The last stages of an oppressive society are where fear of punishment is no longer as bad as the need to escape oppression.
For reasons that dovetail with the simplified explanations offered about what governments naturally do, etc, it's easy for a free society like Australia to slip into totalitarianism, and quite hard for it to get out. But all it really boils down to - and I mean, even down to the level of these universal observations we're all making in online comments, and up to the Congress or parliament or the inner circle of the CCP, is an individual dick measuring popularity contest. If the people in power are made to feel they are the bad guys, they'll overthrow the system. But that does require the revolution coming for its own. In this case, it will be no time at all before some MP gets entrapped by one of these things... the question on the table is really who is in charge there now and where does power flow from?
> existing real estate and infrastructure would have to be bulldozed,

You mean like they've done with every beltway and interstate? They claim eminent domain, take whatever strip of land they need from you, and bulldoze anything in it's path to build nice fancy exits full of the same features: a few hotels/motels, gas stations, couple of fast food chains, and, perhaps, if you are fancy enough, a strip mall with a Department store, Sporting Goods, and a fine dining establishment from one of America's most recognized brands: Bloomin' or Darden
See RDF/OWL, what's right with it, what's wrong with it, and start from there. Don't reinvent the wheel, there are very fast and scalable algorithms to handle most of the things you want to do with a database of categories, even if half of them were omitted from standards and most of the discussion of "the semantic web".

One interesting bit of math from OWL is a proof that you can aggregate queries over multiple SQL databases in a way that is smart about ontologies.

The problem is that there's simply no easy fix for these bureaucratic frictions and sub-optimal equilibriums. It's the nature of large organizations--they trade efficiencies in some areas for inefficiencies in others.

I decided long ago not to worry about such expenses because 1) the engineer in me hates this inefficiency and urges me to fix or work around it (depending on your perspective), 2) navigating bureaucratic red tape takes a personal toll, and as someone who is paid well I don't mind at all spending a trivial amount of money for my own wellbeing, even if its for work, and 3) as someone who has worked in startups and even founded one, I've both been in a position where I was expected to take on such expenses and expected others to do the same (at least as an initial matter[1]).

[1] The dilemma is that unless the purchaser faces some risk of incurring the expense themself, they're not as incentivized to consider the reasonableness of the purchase. The solution is either 1) requiring permission beforehand, or 2) hiring more mature employees who understand the nature of the dilemma and who have already factored this responsibility and risk into their negotiated compensation. The latter doesn't scale, though, which is why large organizations invariably regress to the former.

I believe ECC is incredibly hard to get these days, but I could be out of touch. It certainly was last year. I haven’t seen it in many laptop offerings over the years, except perhaps Dell’s workstation-type offerings as an option.

I’m curious if bitflips have been an issue for you in your experience. I don’t think I’ve encountered it, but I may have misattributed various bugs to software defects when they were in fact due to bit flips.
It sounds like you're advocating for a desktop system. I usually dock my laptop, but I do like the flexibility of detaching and sitting on the couch. When I'm using my laptop, as a laptop, I like to feel comfortable. To me numpads on laptops have negative value.
They have an interesting section, "Beware: don't (over) use nested transactions", in their blog post: https://www.cockroachlabs.com/blog/nested-transactions-in-co...

> ...we do not recommend their use in new applications.

> The reality is that nested transactions are a product of the early days of software engineering, in the 1990s, back when systems were tightly coupled and the Internet and the Cloud were not yet very relevant. ...

> Nowadays, such tight coupling has a bad rep. This is because two additional decades of software engineering have taught us that implicit global state really, really does not play well with distributed services where some components may fail even as part of normal load ...

> Additionally, nested transactions can amplify performance anomalies ...

> Finally, nested transactions can run afoul of correctness in distributed apps. In fact, the idea of multi-component transactions in client code really evokes the idea of a bull in a china shop. As long as all is well and the transaction is due to commit, the idea somewhat makes sense. However, what happens when the database (and not the client) decides the transaction is un-committable and must be aborted, for example because of a serializability conflict or a node restarting for maintenance? It is not just the database state that must be rolled back; all the possible side effects performed by the components holding the transaction must also be rolled back.

They implemented it, but do not recommend using it.
No comments on it, but I liked the recent web.dev coverage of this proposed spec. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28340177 https://web.dev/app-history-api/

the most important thing about startups is that they're much less uniform. there's no over-overlord megalomaniac at the head to make sure anyone does anything. Half seems to be about a good ratio, but I also bet the best remote folks are also startups, they just don't talk to folks about it

You mean like a lot of things in psychology or social "science"?

Or what about string theory in physics?

On the other hand side there are things like:

http://www.electricuniverseuk.eu/the-science/

Even there been Nobel prices for the underlying physics this stuff form the link above goes mostly in the same ballpark as flat-earth stuff. (I'm not a "believer" but I came across this stuff looking at pictures of loaded plasma and cosmological "dark mater" filaments that look bizarrely similar).

Actually even in math they have "controversies", not everybody "believes" in the same stuff, for example like constructivism or its opposite.

So I see some space for a journal which would publish science that nobody else likes to publish because it's not mainstream enough.
