I agree, you can architect your system to make better use of hardware for sure.

What I meant was: I can't tell AWS to make more efficient power switching or design an ASIC that is lower power. Best I can do is say that if they don't I'll move to another provider.

It's been a long time since I've worked with a company with any significant number of physical racks they rent/own where they can put their own hardware on them. Though, I admit, I may be suffering bias here and it could be they are more common and I just happen to work with companies that are cloud based.

Edit: I used to work for Lycos in the mid 2000s and we were just starting to do that (run our workload on VMs instead of metal so we could make all the servers multi-tenant. That was the last time I've worked with a physical server and the Lycos network (across all their sites) was the equivalent of a top 50 website at the time.
I recently tried to use Zephyr on an nRF9160 and looked into the MQTT example. I was pretty disappointed. Its C only, the examples are littered with #ifdefs, because for some reason they forced support for 28 different platforms in the same example file and I couldn't really grasp it in a short time.

On the other hand, when I tried the same thing with Embedded Rust, I was up and running quicker, but am now missing a no_std MQTT library.

I had high hopes for Zephyr, and maybe I have to give it a fair chance again, but as of now, I don't feel it.

In the context of FPGAs: better tooling for that would be pretty dope. Coming from software dev, it is quite hard to get used to all the proprietary tools and weird workflows. I successfully got around ever using vendor tools for microcontrollers, but for FPGAs, that is still very hard.

I'm hoping that LLHD and CIRCT within the LLVM project really take of, to get some language and tooling innovation going in the space[*].

[*] or rather _open_ innovation -> I think there is some quite impressive proprietary stuff, but the open ecosystem is lacking behind the software world.
I used to frequent the Joe Rogan forum for about 5 years, prior to any of his podcasts.

My perspective is that his podcasts reflect who he really is. He is not chasing where the money is, as someone said here. Joe believed in the 2012 Mayan conspiracy, frequently talked about Lizard people and was kind of tongue and cheek...but he brought it up so frequently that I always wondered if he actually believed it. That's just a small subset of the conspiracy theories he believed in.

He has always been tech savvy, even had a T1 installed back in the day, just so he can play video games in 1990, which was $10,000 a month back then. When he started thinking about a podcast, it was pretty much with his friends, and also frequent forum posters in his board. Redban, was already working for Joe for years, he was the tech guy, so naturally he helped with the podcast.

I stopped frequenting that boards after a few podcasts, the forum userbase changed for one, but the main problem is he started expressing his crazy beliefs a lot more frequently. Before the podcasts it came up, but it was once in a while. With the podcasts it could not be ignored.

I absolutely love Kotlin for backend web dev, I started using it as "Java but without the things in Java that piss me off" but the more I used its non-Java features the more I grew to love it. Sadly I've moved jobs so I'm not using it professionally any more but it powers my side project so I'm keeping my skills fresh.

I'd recommend it to anyone where they'd traditionally use Java or another similar language.

I think this speaks more to the issues of trusting online media than specifically the news. The incentives of the web and the incentives of conveying information are not well aligned (for capitalism reasons).

> If you must read the news, read it for the facts and the data, not the opinions.

This should have been the first sentence. It's not that consuming the news is bad, it's that often the way that it's delivered is emotional (which is sometimes valid, I think) or sensational. I'd also argue, with absolutely no data, that, at least in the US, the shift in how folks consume media in general (low effort, highly emotional) has pushed the news in that direction.
This is also a trick for drawing surprisingly straight lines on paper. If you start at a point and watch where you're drawing, you'll end up with a terrible line. If, however, you start at a point, focus on your target, and move the pencil towards the target, the result is surprisingly good. Also works for circles.
In addition, weed is much more potent than alcohol. With alcohol, most people roughly have the same experience. With weed, give it to 10 different people and they'll have 11 different experiences with it.

I agree with you. I find that the amount of enjoyment I get out of the thing doesn't change, I just now need more a expensive thing to get the same amount of enjoyment.

That's why I choose to listen to music on my cheap $100 speakers that can still give me goosebumps and not listen to my friend's $5000 speakers. All that would happen is that I'd lose the goosebumps because I'd notice how shitty mine are.

Unions work very differently in Denmark than what you're describing. I'm not part of a collective agreement, but I'm still in a union and they will represent me in case of a legal disagreement with my employer

I've been under a collective bargaining agreement some places I've worked, but even then, there's a lot of room to negotiate based on merit

A union in Denmark is for many employees simply a cheap way to cover your legal risks when interacting with the job market

The incentives and disincentives of exploring other systems is largely unknown.

It's really easy to slip into news as entertainment. The same is true for politics. When treated as entertainment, I think it puts the proper perspective on its utility -- dubious.
I don't think you've ever smoked pot...

People are not smoking pot as a trill of breaking the law. Just as drinking alcohol before the age of 21 is not for the trill of breaking the law, but for the feeling it gives.

Alcohol is in every way worse for you as a person and for society, yet it is fully legal.

I don't smoke simply because my Job requires a pot free lifestyle. But I spent the first half of my 20s doing it, and the last thing on my mind or anyone else was "Take that LawMan".

Plus you can be a daily smoker for 6+ years and quit cold turkey. Sure you might crave it, but that is more mental. Your body doesn't break down from not having it. Unless you have poor mental control to keep yourself from breaking. Its the same weak control that fools people into dumping money into mobile games.

It's not because of the thill. It's because people like to relax or focus. There are two different main strains and both do different things, one is more relaxing the other is more energizing.

I wasn't familiar with Keygen before but this looks pretty cool. In your blog post you mention you want to be the "Stripe of licensing" and it seems like you're certainly on your way to that goal. The website feels very "Stripe-like" - in a good way. Equally professional but plenty of nerdy stuff right there in the open. A good way to sell to both developers who need to use your tool and the higher-ups making the decision to purchase or not.

Congrats and good luck!

I've put a TLS intercepting proxy between my phone and the internet. Most traffic flows towards Google (either sync or analytics). I do it every now and then to see if any of the apps I recently installed contain any funny trackers.

> Both are just as evil.

But one of them is completely vilified by mainstream media while the other is vilified by tech nerds and politicians disliking search results that call out their racism.

Of course all of the stalking is bad, but there's no reason to call out any specific company here.

> Oh yeah sure. That's great. Nothing stops Xiaomi from pushing an "update" to reset the settings. Or, like Apple, from pushing "new features" that are automatically turned on "for your convenience"

I'll be pissed when that happens, but the annoyance with having to turn that shit off is worth the €400 I saved by going with a cheap Chinese phone. I don't make Silicon Valley money, that stuff counts.

My SO has to use Zephyr at work.

Two of the things they complain the most are:

1. Zephyr is marketed as POSIX compliant, in practice it isn't.

2. TLS. There seems to be a bug due to which either all sockets are tls sockets, or none is.

Rogan is an intellectual when it comes to Standup Comedy and Mixed Martial Arts.

25% of his last 20 guests have a doctorate:
Anna Lembke, MD
Bret Weinstein, MA, PHD
Rhonda Patrick, PHD
Lex Fridman, MS, PHD

These are specialists in their fields. Rogan is exposing his audience to legitimate intellectuals. He also tends to have a melange of perspectives on his show. You may hear Alex Jones in one episode and Amy Schumer on the next. Elon Musk, Edward Snowden, Maajid Nawaz, Neil Degrasse Tyson, Dave Chapelle, Louis CK, Bernie Sanders, Sam Harris, Ted Nugent, Henry Rollins have all been guests on his show. It's hard to argue that these people aren't experts in their fields.
This issue of our data being bought and sold is a big issue, but nation states and some of the big tech companies don't do it. They simply have other objectives.

It's the huge number of smaller companies (and your ISP probably) who we pay little attention to that are buying and selling your data, to the best of my knowledge.

I don't think we should be giving these smaller companies a pass, and I don't think we should accuse those aren't (currently) doing it of doing it - that makes it lose its' meaning.
This blog post has some really interesting thoughts on that point: https://applieddivinitystudies.com/2020/10/15/bus-factor/
Lo-Fi dates back to the mid-70's when Punk music hit the scene. They were reacting to what they perceived to be over-engineered prog music such as Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon. Nowadays it's a reaction to DAWs (Digital Audio Workstations, e.g. ProTools, GarageBand, etc.) and playing perfectly "on the grid." There's an emphasis on going back and recording "live" (everyone playing together rather than tracking separately), letting the tempo vary naturally, and not trying to make everything perfect. The upshot? People like it better.
I think it is probably much, much less harder (as a young, healthy person) to get from relatively unfit to running a marathon in 4:20 compared to getting from that 4:20 to the 2:10 that the elite marathon runners do. It's probably a lot more than 10x harder to go from 4h to 2h, I think. I gained a lot of respect for them when I realized that my gym treadmills' maximum speed (20Kph, which I have never managed to hit for any significant length of time) is less than the average speed to hit the current world record times.
Ah yes. The classic mega insider trading of... buying Apple stock. Yes, only the most non-obvious and insiderest trading ever imagine. Next you're going to accuse me of "insider trading" for moving all of my assets into the ARKG when it became clear COVID-19 was going to be declared a pandemic.
> Is this true or a myth?

It is a nice myth to pull at your heart strings
Sure you're allowed to do it, and from your tone I take it you're offended by my post, and I'm sorry for that. My point wasn't that you should or should not do something. And it's your business and you're free to run it however which way you want to. It's just that as someone who used to severely underestimate how seemingly (to me) small things have a huge influence on how I came across online, I thought I would let you know what I wrote in my OP. The customers that are put off by this will just turn around and you'll never hear from them. You're unlikely to ever get this sort of feedback from friends and family, or even from potential customers who decide against using your service. But I do realize my advice was not asked for, so again, I'm sorry if it was offensive.

Story time: I used to have a friend with long hair who worked as a consultant for a company with lots of customers in banking. He was repeatedly told (in indirect ways) that his performance was great, but that his career prospects would be better if he has a more, let's say, approachable appearance. He complained to us (his friends) about it for a few years, how it was unfair, how it shouldn't matter, etc. And of course it's his right to wear his hair however he wanted. Then when he got married, his wife asked him to cut his hair for the wedding. He agreed (didn't feel slighted about it, wasn't bullied into it, just did it for her). Afterwards he liked his new haircut and decided to keep it short for some time more. Lo and behold, some time later, after he'd been at a new client, he got assigned to a more high profile project in a more prominent role. Coincidence? Maybe. My point is - maybe he should have asked himself sooner where his priorities were: to make a career in a conservative sector (which he himself stated as a goal), or his idea of 'sticking it to the man'.

Again, not saying you should do one thing or another. Maybe you're not actually losing customers, or maybe you don't care about losing some, or whatever. You know your business better than I do, obviously. Good luck, I hope your business will be a success.

While I'm not super familiar with Knime, it looks like it falls into the legacy BI category that Benn talks about. An "all-in-one" for your data.

Is the platform still easily used by business users? Or does it primarily become a gated way for Data Engineers to build/action on data?

A lot of decisions can't be easily visualized in your standard dashboard. You can forecast the potential of those automated decisions, but that's still black box logic. You really need more of a middle ground that lets you preview "given these inputs, show me what the output would be".
It seems to me that there is something about American culture that is inherently right-leaning. The "left" struggles to gain any traction because they ultimately fail at marketing their ideas to the average American, to your point. There is also an aspect of playing dirty that gives the modern Republican a leg up.

10x is real but I think the more compelling question is how low a bar of competency is allowed to work in the profession - and what is the average level of competency in the programmer market.

"Certifications" doesn't get there - too easy to just game a multiple choice test. I would like to see a formal education + testing requirement (ala Doctors, just not 10 years!) Essentially, a barrier of entry for serious programmers. That would ultimately come with a high minimum salary without having to get hired at faang.

College accreditation doesn't cut it either. I work w programmers with an MS in CS. Programmers are kinda impressed. Managers could care less.

The insanely high demand for labor and (always present) priority to reduce labor costs however encourages the entry of boot-camp you're hired on the low end of experience/competence.
I think they missed the mark only having a single lcd panel for output. I think a grid of leds, maybe 10x5, with each column having an input jack and a dial to set the range would allow much better visualization. That is a lot of extra parts though.
Yes the quality of scientific research in this area has been rather bad with rushes to publish and ineffective peer review. Drs. Paul Marik and Pierre Kory recently updated their meta analysis to remove the retracted Elgazzar paper, and still found a significant effect. I'm not endorsing their letter, just pointing out that it exists and isn't mentioned in this Nature article.

You are talking about your experience about unions in the US under an article about Denmark where things are a lot different. The world is not the US.
The UK is a great example because for most of the islands history, some foreign power had seized land as part of an imperial conquest. First the Romans. Then the French and the Danes. Then finally, then “United Kingdom” was created via bloody conquest of a single tribal body over other tribes that spoke different languages and had different religions.

Had the Spanish Armada not failed, the UK would likely have become a colony yet again.

When I went to school, we were taught the Brits were benign and flawless.

Imagine my surprise to learn that English still carries remnants of Britain’s history as a colonial backwater (e.g. cow vs beef).
There's still a bit of ethics in some people.

One thing I don’t see mentioned is the fact that there’s a limited capacity of attentiveness in our brains. We get tired. So, while the implication here is that the inattentive drivers are at greater risk — something best measures with overall crash statistics — it’s also a valid hypothesis that over enough miles, the hyperattentive are at greater risk due to fatigue.

If Tesla is indeed reporting lower crashes per mile with autopilot engaged, it suggests to me that the fatigue from paying constant attention is a bigger overall risk?
