I had a ReadyNAS NV2+ which I recently switched off of onto TrueNAS hardware Mini XL+.

That keeps the fussing with the hardware and installation issues down to an acceptable level but means that in a panic I can slam the drives onto commodity hardware and recover the data and its not locked into a proprietary format. The cost is a bit, but i figure it'll get amortized over another 10+ years.
You’re right. Bad example.

Firefox only can compete with Chrome/Chromium-based clones only if it has a unique edge (pun intended). Being completely written in Rust is that edge, reducing work required for debugging, while Chromium team would be still busy with memory bugs, etc. Thus the complete port/rewrite is the only future it has. Genius Mozilla management voluntarily gave it up.

As someone who has never been promoted internally, and has been promoted externally on about half my new roles , I can tell you that taking a job elsewhere is the easier path.

I wonder if anyone with success getting promoted internally can chime in on what are some good tactics/resources?

I'm glad that the Economist points out at the end that 'wokeness' has become a favorite of business, and the reason is pretty obvious, as a movement it's self-defeating because all identitarian politics eventually ends in infighting, with its subjective, choice and preference based worldview it's actually ill-equipped to move anything.

It might exist in academia or PR departments or journalism or facebook pages and twitter threads but it does very little to affect material relations and power structures, so it's if anything the Left and not anyone else who should be concerned with it.

It's always surprising to me that this seems to be such a Conservative topic of concern who if anything should be glad that it occupies so much mindspace.
Can they make a drill bit out of it?
I experienced this when a job req was opened specifically for me. It was odd having to interview knowing good and well I was getting the job. I used the time to talk with the professors like a real interview and then used the last 15 minutes to ask for advice for how I could interview differently in the real world.

Also, what pushes you to get a Pangolin (AMD) instead of Lemur (Intel)? I'm curious because I don't really understand the meaningful difference and bought the Lemur when it was in stock.
Thinking about this a bit more, I suspect that the answer comes down to the two dies per package. The main distinction between on-die cores and off-die cores is the difference between L3 (single ejection) and L4 (double ejection), and the main use of die-to-die and package-to-package interconnect is going to be handling the L4 data flow. I bet that the numbers showed that goes from 256MB of cache on die (available for active-use L2 + shared L3) to more didn't make much of a difference; that's a pretty big L3 chunk, after all, and even if the latency for L4 is way higher I bet you're already well into marginal gains.

In this case, and assuming that the package is thermally limited, there's no real reason not to go to a smaller die. Even if a 16 core, 512MB cache monster fit on reticle, if there's not much performance gap between that and the actual dual 8 core, 256MB cache system, why not take a yield gain from smaller dice?

If this is the case, I'd expect this die to be way smaller than the Z15 processor... < 400 mm^2? Anyone have numbers?
Well, push notifications are lot more reliable, safetynet passes basic check and app do not complain about play services issues.

But network location provider doesn't work, that's an issue.
Also if you lose connectivity during a disaster, you're effed.

Sure you wouldn't have internet, but you would have a local network that would still work, and could still be administered.
Yeah, you'd still need 10% more to get the R0 under 1.

You mean values that change over time and along with fashion? That's the opposite of "solid".
Is Pixel open hardware? I'm assuming not but props to them if so.
thanks for posting it, this is first class journalism.
React didn't substantially improve code flow, and added a dependency, config, a build step, and DSL. Typescript added a build step and config.

Stated another way: The new page is a single file written in web standards. The React/TS way is more complicated, requires a bigger download, and is slower.
Ah, that's a super interesting point. My vague recollection is that the size per bit for eDRAM is somewhere between a half and a third that for SRAM (isoprocess), so this would be doubling the cache effective area isoprocess... or probably somewhere between maintaining it and halving it with the move to 7 nm. Still looks like it might be less die space for cache, but not nearly as much as I was thinking as first.
Usajobs.gov, is that you?
It would help.
There's a similar story about you'll hear from tour guides in East Jerusalem – there's a neighborhood there called at-tel al-faransiya (in Arabic) or ha-giv'a ha-tzarfatit (in Hebrew), both translate "The French [people] Hill".

When your tour passes by that neighborhood, your guide would surely tell you that it is actually named after the British general John French who was stationed there, and a similar mistake as the one above made it change nationality.

Everyone laughs, and continue with the tour. But those that would later search for general French woill find he didn't serve with his Majesty's forces in Palestine – and that the hill is named after the French monks from the Monastery of St Anne…
The UK is dumb, they don’t even vaccinate for chicken pox. The reason is that it protects old people from shingles by continuously exposing them supposedly. Haven’t seen any proof of that.

It does but its hard to quantify, if your site loads in 4 seconds but after a change the sites loading time becomes 8 seconds you will lose some people who will be annoyed and wont sign up.

Google bots might prefer another site which loads faster compared to your site which will affect SEO.

Well given that they have to redefine terms under new names and to create a newspeak for all of this, it was not long until it had spread unchallenged from the social-sciences classrooms in universities to the workplace and we now see rejected concepts that were left in the past to later resurface under a redefinition under newspeak.

A great way to confuse the general public and push an agenda to create a culture of silencing anyone opposed to view points someone disagrees with.
> Who’d want to work for people like that

Recruiters, HR and interviewers often are nothing like the culture of the people you will end up working with.

Treat everything as a potential signal, but take care not to mistake noise for signal.

Also recruitment is often about reducing false positives (avoiding bad hires), at the cost of a high number of false negatives (failing to employ suitable candidates). Try not to take it personally when they give you a no for an obviously bad reason?!

Hey thanks for posting this! This is my project I started and the goal is to have it be an eventually database agnostic terminal spreadsheet kind of program. Lots planned for the future!
Exactly. I'm left wondering if the move off of eDRAM was motivated by improved latency or just unavailability of the technology (or that it hadn't been updated to 7nm).
I disagree. The climate has been warmer/drier/wetter/etc in the past, but the rate of change is really high right now. We need to work to get out in front of it. There's a risk that the engineered solution won't work well, but the alternative is a guarantee that habitats will be gone and biodiversity will take a huge hit, taking a really long time to recover.
It wasn’t an OEM setting - it depends on your Windows 98 SKU and install options. I think the Active Channel bar was also hidden by default if your screen resolution wasn’t high enough - and it was gone by 98SE or IE5.5, I think?
It matters very much with regard to the distinction between yours and theirs. I strongly believe the operating system of your device should never actively work against your interests, and checking whether you're using the device to commit a crime, then reporting it to the device manufacturer who will tell the government is potentially strongly against your interests.

If that's too abstract, it matters in that it's a foothold for further scanning of data on your device. Without this system, if a state wanted to pressure Apple to create spyware and add it to their operating system to look for something else, that would have been easy to refuse. With this system, the spyware is already there, and despite Apple's protests to the contrary, it's just a matter of a few tweaks to repurpose it.
Agreed, "applet" is a self-documenting word, it's a shame that it is confusing! Personally I like the word "vignette" although I haven't seen it anybody else using it that way.

Yeah no. This is used by a lot of the population, may be not enough to register in their measurements but it’s a good number. Not just that, this is a functionality that existed for so many years in every browser, why remove it? At this point the code comes almost free. The only explanation is they want to prepare their users to a time when cookies are gone.
For me it's the element rules. Being able to hide every post that contains "____ liked this" on LinkedIn/FB actually makes them tolerable.

Microsoft got in trouble for bundling, that is, using their Windows monopoly to unfairly advantage IE over Netscape. They still arguably have a monopoly position on the desktop and they're using the exact same tactics they used in the 90s, so yes they should get in trouble for this all over again.

brave's default settings are almost certainly exactly what a privacy-oriented person would choose. it does not mine crypto, and it only pays you in crypto to view notification ads if you opt-in. i even gave the ads a shot but decided it wasn't worth the $2 a month or whatever, so now i just have a maintained, de-googled chrome, which is basically a description of the optimal browser in 2021. does firefox ask you if you want to install pocket yet?
Immigration law also requires it too, which is sometimes why some job postings are hyper specific; they’re tuned to fit literally one person.

Yes, I already figured out based on your previous response (and modified the question for others).
I think this is the result of the gradual femininization of our culture. It started with the feminist/gender-studies types and slowly caught on.

Not because people necessarily wanted to change, but cancel culture makes it so that you can't risk nonconforming.

At first it was little things like switching to softer language and giving kids participation trophies so that they don't feel bad. Now it's spread to the point that they feel the need to invent words like Latinx just in case a couple of latinos feel left out.
Thanks, I'm aware. That's not the same thing as the military having the right clue at the right places.

It's not hard to beat it. For example, you cannot do vector operations in C. (Hence C compilers often offer extensions.)
There aren't any reliable tests for active marijuana intoxication. Blood tests are sometimes used in DUI situations, but the science is weak. It's not as definitive as alcohol testing. You can test positive for marijuana in hair and urine tests weeks after last use, and test positive in blood tests well beyond the point of intoxication (like the next day).
I think this could be exactly the correct definition of burnout. I'm sure a lot of us care about a lot of things in our lives... until we realize that no one else does.

imo the adblocker isn't as good as ublock, which you can install anyway, so there's no major advantage there. the good part about brave is that you get the benefits of an up-to-date chromium browser without google recording your activity. you can take or leave the rest of the stuff, but there are a couple of neat extras like tor support for incognito and auto-detecting 404s and linking to archive.org.

While sour cream may sometimes have additional stabilizers, the main difference (both are cultured cream products made with a similar process) is that crème fraiche has a significantly higher (~30%) than sour cream (~20%).

Once on a trip, I realized that the mushroom of our zeitgeist, the Alice in Wonderland / Mario mushroom, Amanita Muscaria [1], when spoken, sounds a lot like "A man eater must scare ya"

And to me, this universe is (at least metaphorically) a man eater, and it constantly has reminders for us [2]. And if you subscribe to any sort of notion of morality, it seems like the things that do scare us, like regret, do make us live our lives in better ways.

Most people are afraid of psychedelics because even those of us who do them, find them to be jarring. They show us the shitty things we've done, who we really are, and how we really think subconsciously. They wake us up from the slog of our usual comfortable lives. The motivational speakers of time and time again have always said that comfort is the enemy. I find this is why even near death experiences are life-renewing. Anything that makes us afraid, reminds us how short our lives are, and how important every detail, every moment, every butterfly effect is. So the man eater must scare us, if it is to help us do what is expedient.

Frameworks are a spinning wheel that reinvent technology every 3-5 years. It only seems like an improvement because the people using and writing it are relearning the same lessons that their predecessors already learned, but are unaware of this.

There’s only so many ways to write a reasonable GUI framework. There’s only so many ways to do general purpose data stores. There’s only so many ways to handle events. There’s only so many ways to schedule load/threads/work. There’s only so many ways to build code. There’s only so many ways to do object/class/etc. inheritance. There’s only so many ways to do interfaces/contracts/whatever. etc. It’s the same patterns and trade offs over and over again, but if you’ve never much of anything outside of web dev you’d never know that.

The past 15 years of web dev is the story of young programmers racing forward, having never bothered to look at the past.
