> Changing a connector is not trivial if you have hundreds of millions of customers and a massive ecosystem of third-party vendors, each with their own roadmap.

And yet not only has Apple already done exactly that for iPhones (specifically: migrating from the iPod connector to Lightning), but so has virtually every Android vendor done exactly that for Android devices (specifically: migrating from USB micro-B to USB C).
I have never heard anyone in the US refer to just the patty as a hamburger. I have definitely never heard the term "hamburger sandwich" before.
Wish you and the wife the best! I do not have the courage to do something like that. Even though my wife would tell me the same thing. It is quite amazing to find someone that truly cares about you! Cherish it. I have trust issue as well with my crazy family life. I really look forward to reading your blog post about this. You got this!!
Correlation is not a causation. Chances are that both events stem from the same underlying issue.
I inadvertently did the same with sugar in my tea. Where I worked we each prepared our own tea and coffee from our own supplies. I forgot to replenish my jar of sugar and eked it out by putting less and less in each cup. For some reason that I can no longer remember I forgot to fill it up so of course it eventually was empty. But by then I was taking so little sugar that it was a small step to taking none at all.
Where is this coming from? Is there actual technical merit or is someone (read China) complaning?
A lot of it is actually pretty practical!

Growing your own produce is a pretty good way to keep yourself busy (and i find it relaxing), learn more about plants in general, as well as lets you have a better idea of what actually goes into your meals (vs store bought produce, which might have certain pesticides or other additives).

The same goes for cooking, for which there are also very tangible and immediate financial benefits, when compared to eating out. So much so, that people have organized various communities around the idea of cooking stuff yourself and doing so in an efficient manner, for example: https://www.reddit.com/r/MealPrepSunday/top/?t=month

Hunting also makes you develop more appreciation for having meat in general - personally, after having to drag a carcass from the forest all the way home and to help my dad prepare the meat made me view it as something to have occasionally, not as often as other people might. Of course, learning firearms safety and a thing or two about how to behave in forests is useful as well.

Of course, some people might take it a bit too far - like having a bunker in their basement or stockpiling MREs for years, many of which will simply go bad, but i'd argue that most things, even having your own generator are pretty reasonable in the grand scheme of things, especially in regards to bad weather conditions and inconsistent power supply.
if more companies were more open to talent there probably wouldn't be a huge spike of coders in the crypto space.

Or maybe you're not paying close enough attention.

A few tiny examples: Texas, a state larger than the UK, just became a state where any resident can sue anyone else that helps someone access an abortion after about 6 weeks of pregnancy (before a lot of people know they are pregnant) regardless of rape or incest and win up to $10,000 for doing so.

States all over the country are busy banning voting on a Sunday because after church is when a lot of black people vote.

The looser of the last election, is still claiming to have won it, and millions of people genuinely believe him.

No different to the UK? Maybe try Bolsanaro's Brazil but with a larger GDP

Edit: that Brazil comparison is hyperbole, I don't know enough about Brazil to say that anyway

It depends on the asteroid size.

Afik, there's a very abrupt limit on the size of an asteroid where if it's larger it will "touch" the ground and if it's smaller, it airbursts.

So if we could split the asteroid in 10, maybe we go from "completely destroy everything within a 100 miles radius" to 10 Chelyabinsk events.
Taloflow (YC W21) Is Hiring a Front-End Developer (Contract / Project)
I can attest that the film, despite its flaws, had me on the verge of tears much of the time.

Imagining someone whose sole goal is to encourage positive development hits me hard, for some reason. He surely had his demons like any human, but he seemed like a fellow that was intent on lifting the rest of us up.
> 'Preppers', by definition, are those who have decided the world is unstable and on the brink of collapse.

As others have noted, not necessarily - there are many shades here. Depending on your situation, being prepared for unforeseen situations is not paranoiac but sensible. The key point is how much time, effort, and mental energy you put in this. Having some cash, food and basic tools just in case is one thing - piling up tons of stuff and worrying constantly is something different. The former is actually something to be promoted as a healthy attitude in an ever-changing world. And even if noting serious happens until the end of your life, you have the comfort of knowing, "At least I'm a bit prepared."
Apple can figure how to put USB-C on a phone, but perhaps does not because lightning's connector has preferable RF sensitivity profile.

Not sure if it's measured as significant, but it's the sort of thing that RF engineering concerns itself with (preventing anything from detuning antennas or otherwise raising the noise floor).
for soft criminals, the hard ones will take it as more exciting and things will get worse. the real question we should be asking is why people are doing this and where or what country are they aligned with, is it some random kid who thinks it's all a game or is it an actual state sponsored criminal network?

In data eng roles I've had to build systems that ingest tons of data quickly and learnt multithreading, used profilers to fine tune perf, learnt how SQL databases work under the hood and tricked query planners, learnt how to structure map reduce style jobs to exploit parallelism on huge clusters. Admittedly this was a few years ago when the field was more nascent. Maybe today it's less engineering heavy if you can get away with gluing together a few off the shelf solutions like Kafka/Snowflake.

In SWE roles I've had occasional deep dives into tech, but a lot of it is about knowing the business logic and delivering simple things quickly. It's like write SQL query, maybe change a model, write some simple business logic in a hairy codebase. Since it's simple, there is more pressure to deliver quickly as well. Sometimes doing things the “right” way would have been more interesting but also more time consuming, so we decide to just put a bandaid over it. It feels like there is less agency as well, just implementing whatever features/roadmap the PMs hand down.

But I see other people on this thread have had the exact opposite experience.. so I guess it really just comes down the particular role, company and your interests.
Everyone would be better off if they just tried a little bit harder to be more mentally resilient. I don't understand people who act like suggesting this is wrong. Sometimes people need help, and sometimes they just need to deal with it because nobody else can for them. Not saying this is just hiding the truth.
Any good books about the labour movement?

Same mistake as California. The landlords get a huge cut of cash inflows.

Tech should take a lesson from Macdonalds and buy land before placing a tech hub on it. And land price increases can help get seed money.

I never said I wanted full laissez faire capitalism. I just want the healthcare market to have the same ability to operate in our current "free market" as other private businesses do.

Usually when people say something regarding the "free market" they aren't calling for abolition of the government in it's entirety unless they explicitly mention such, but loosened legislative measures taken on a specific segment of the existing market.
Why a father and techie decided to mentor and train others
What are you doing out of curiosity?

I see lots of frontend React jobs, bunch of NodeJS jobs then lots of Python/Spark jobs. Full-time probably around $150-160k average or contracting $1k a day.

Outside of that I see C# or Java using Spring Boot for < $150k but the companies themselfs are a bit meh, fairly non descriptive and closer to the $120k mark than $150.

I don't mind Java but the stuff out here I have done and used is so meh, Spring for everything when there's so much more than Spring. Java 17 was released last week and half the places have only just started using 11.

Even a lot of the cloud/devops stuff here it seems way behind what I was doing a decade ago in the UK.

Recently I've been asking myself maybe I just got lucky and had some good jobs in the UK for forward thinking companies using cloud from the early days at large scale, and my first 4 years in AU I also got lucky before the work changed, so maybe that's poisoned my views. But then I speak to other friends/collages in AU who are not from AU and they express the same problems as me, the choice of jobs isn't great and they feel bit of a step back from what they have done before. I also know people who have left AU completely because of feeling the same.

When i do speak to friends in the UK who careers where lagging behind mine and I was moving way ahead off it seems they're jobs gone from strength to strength where as I get paid a fairly good salary, 30% more than average speaking to recruiters but doing the least interesting, least rewarding work of my life and feeling like the career has gone backwards as now my options are Python/Javascript or take a significant paycut to use some tech I enjoy for a company culture I enjoy.

The more interesting work I have seen has always been overseas companies opening up in AU.

A government is a lot bigger than elected officials. The US federal government has more than 1 million employed people, and a lot of them work in positions that are vulnerable to large scale or at least mid scale corruption attempts.

If I was using bribes and "lobbyist gifts" and similar to push an agenda, I wouldn't just go after the elected officials, I would concentrate on going after the people who work for them, to be honest.

What do people think they're saying by saying this? No, this has literally happened here by one of "us" so "we" are clearly not better than this. Heck, "we" have done and are continuously doing far worse than this.
There are 'solutions' to this

or the smaller

[2] https://www.bequiet.com/en/cpucooler/1074

if one doesn't need up to 250W CPU cooling performance. This 'top-blow/blow down' stuff has other benefits, though, since more airstream is reaching the VRMs and the RAM. (usually, sometimes not, as it depends on layout of the board)

edit: I know there are many, many otheres, comparable, maybe better, or even more cheap. I've chosen this because I'm just a happy customer with their PSU and cooler stuff which is something I'm unwilling to scrooge on. Also I can reach them in person by bicycle, bus, whatever, if need arises.

Anyways, there are silent and powerful aircoolers available, which not only cool the CPU, but also other important parts in compact builds.

Furthermore it seems that watercooling makes real sense only with room for 3 fans of => 120mm on the radiator, everything below seems to be a waste/physical nonsense.
Cepstral analysis has a pretty good statistical basis (no pun intended) away from the source/filter model.

There's a bit of magic in the MFCC computation where you apply the discrete cosine transform (DCT). That's all about reducing correlation between components in the cepstrum and makes no sense unless you "get" the way the change of basis has high energy compaction (more information in fewer values).

However this has nothing to do with a physiological understanding of human speech.
This reminds me of an experience I had watching a company trying to replace a system with ML.

First they marketed it heavily before even thinking. During test cycle they fed the entire data corpus in and ran some of the original test cases and found some business destroying results pop out. The entire system ended up a verbatim port of the VB6 crap which was a verbatim port of the original AS400 crap that actually worked.

The marketing to this day says it’s ML based and everyone buys into the hype. It’s not. It was a complete failure. But the original system has 30 years of human experience codified in it.
It really does sound like the analogous statement about "only five or six computers in the world" from the 1950's.

"Damaged" is different from "smashed". I'm guessing that most of the 7000 buildings had some of their windows broken, and I don't think the 500-kiloton Chelyabinsk blast even killed anybody, much less "incinerated and flayed their exposed flesh, decapitated and dismembered some individuals, shattered many bones into mostly cm-sized fragments, scattered their bones across several meters, buried the bones in the destruction layer, and charred or disintegrated any bones that were still exposed." It surely would have done that if it had exploded near ground level instead of 29.7 km higher.

This sounds like more ignorant rejection of the real problem in today's music: dynamic compression.

Everything mastered or "remastered" since the late '90s has been destroyed with dynamic compression, turning it into a wall of noise to make it "louder." All of the oversampling, fake vinyl noise, or losslessness in the world can't fix it.

I have 45s that sound far better than digital "remasters," and it's because they're less compressed. And that's pathetic.

I like the idea behind this, and the small footprint, but I think I'd rather have a proper enclosure to protect it from dust or at least minimise internal dust. And I'd rather not have the LED lights.

> The best thing good OS can do for me, is not to get in my way when I run apps

This has always been my complaint about Windows.

I've long considered the OS as a tool to launch my apps ONLY!. That's it!

Of course, under the surface there are a few more things that it needs to perform like not corrupting my data, being secure and protecting me from attacks and so on but it's purpose is a toolbox.

Carpenters don't use their toolbox to build furniture. They use the tools in it. That's what the the OS is to me: a toolbox that holds my tools.

When it starts giving me shit for not using a Microsoft account or trying to "help me with that thing" that pisses me off.

However, the worst thing is when shit moves around, menus change etc.

Perhaps it's time to give Linux a go again!

"BraveDNS is now RethinkDNS."

And Brave Browser is fairly legit in my book.

After a quick install and test this seams to work well. Viewing the logs is a big plus to see what your Android is up to.
This is correct. But i guess the article argues about not already solved problems. NLP is in the most cases so powerful and easy to implement, that i would argue it can be viewed as a more complex version of a heuristic. My thought comes from the idea, that you need to act up on the data NLP-Algorithms bring to you.
That makes it sound like the problem is lack of data, which isn't true.

The problem is that the kind of ML that involves downloading a framework from github and tweaking features until the percent goes up is actually built on certain statistical models under the hood that people don't understand and that don't fit the process they're trying to model.

When the statistical model is correct you don't need loads of data. E.g., you don't need more than a thousand respondents to make valid inferences about millions of people in a sociological survey.
Interesting. I am still very much hoping for a framework to tie it all together but in the meanwhile I'll have a look at this — thanks!
