1950's onwards they used ribbon cables close to surfaces for household wiring. It was best practice, just not today's.

As a freelancer jumping projects, I can't help but see parallels, in that you've really got to study code bases wrt the time of authorship to understand their particular idiosyncrasies.

In the 2010's, people believed in "REST" without considering the context in which these concepts were introduced (eg thin browser UIs, or generalizations thereof as a baseline). Customers, even highly capable devs, flaunt their REST best practices, yet see HATEOAS as optional and pretentious, failing to see the entire point of loose coupling and discovery, and engaging in zealotry about squeezing parameters into URLs instead. Or pretend to, to stop pointless discussions with mediocre, bureaucratic peers.
Daniel, I don't believe for a second that the site at a link could've been developed by an 11-year-old child. That's just not possible. However it is presented as such, and pretty aggressively at that. Some of his comments here could've not been written by a child either, that's pretty bloody obvious if you are to take just take an impartial look. This whole project has a very strong smell of manipulation and sock-puppetry.

I am all for encouraging anyone to get better at things they are genuinely interested in, but being warm and receptive to blatant mis-representation of one's work is not the right thing to do. It sends the exact opposite of the right signal.

>price

I'd consider buying one at 300€. I'm not even contemplating it at the current price.

>floppy ridiculous.

I disagree. Floppies are very adequate to this sort of hardware, and an important component of the classic feel.

I just wish the drive faced the right side (like a keyboard Amiga) instead. It's not like they have any ports in there.

Inserting floppies from the front seems extremely uncomfortable to even think about.
Number of queues is not the same as the number of operations in a queue.

Supporting more queues means that you need less communication and synchronization between CPU cores; ideally, you have at least one queue per core so that each CPU core can submit commands to the SSD independently.

I didn't test queue depths higher than 32 when I reviewed the 980 PRO, because it's a consumer drive and consumer workloads hardly ever produce double-digit queue depths. Even going all the way up to QD32 is fairly unrealistic.

Server workloads can be quite different, and some of them genuinely can result in a large number of simultaneous IO requests. Consumer workloads have barely even started to evolve to take advantage of SSDs, and hard drives aren't quite entirely gone from the consumer PC market.

As for how to check how many queues a NVMe drive supports: the easy way is to install the drive in a system with a very large number of CPU cores, and see how many queues the Linux NVMe driver creates (check the drive's sysfs directory). My understanding from reading the NVMe spec is that you can't necessarily query the drive itself for the number of supported queues after the operating system's NVMe driver has already done that and set up its queues.
Its not so much that they should build controls, but the other side of the argument, that they shouldn't spend so much effort hiring psychologists as consultants to figure out how to make their website/app/service the most dominating thing in at least a portion of their user's daily life (most companies call these sorts of users "whales" since they produce so much meat for the company).
Yeah, 800 euros for something that for me would be to remember my C128 days is too high.

I understand that this is (should?) be better, but still, 800 euros!
Cloudflare is incredibly undervalued as a public company.
Currently, the cost of ML R&D has a floor based on what advertising companies are willing to pay people to work in the space. This actually has a huge upside, as most of the tools that have made ML so accessible (pytorch, tensorflow, all the research advances) are coming out of these companies. But it has the downside that if I want to get someone to work on my ML problem I have to compete with what google and fb can pay.

A consequence, I guess, is that there are lots of unexplored / underexplored problems waiting to be tackled, and there are tools around that can make it happen. If there is a reckoning in the advertising space, there will be lots of other applications to focus on.

Much lower percentages of fully vaccinated persons infected with SARS-CoV-2 were hospitalized (3.2%), were admitted to an intensive care unit (0.5%), and required mechanical ventilation (0.2%) compared with partially vaccinated persons (6.2%, 1.0%, and 0.3%, respectively) and unvaccinated persons (7.6%, 1.5%, and 0.5%,

> find the optimal 10TB program to accomplish some task would actually be a superintelligence

I am having a difficult time understanding what the operative meaning of "intelligence" here is. "AI" doesn't transcend the Turing machine. Intelligence doesn't mean more computer cycles per unit time either and compute cycles don't transcend the TM. What makes intelligence intelligence is what it can in principle do; speed is irrelevant. There is no essential difference between AI and non-AI.

>At some point we have to accept that this data actually helps them fix real issues too

It is strange that this community of all communities has such a resistance to this idea. Software developers should know better than anyone how difficult it is to identify and fix vague software problems without having specific details about the problem. Yes, there is a negotiation between the value of telemetry and privacy and often too much privacy is sacrificed. But I am always surprised to hear developers say all telemetry is bad.
The root of all evil is premature optimization. Until yes performance is the bottleneck for some problem, leave it alone.

If you want any job then applying for all of them may be the best strategy. Eventually supply & demand should work in your favor. If you want to target a small number of companies you will have to do the work to get your foot in the door.

In the software development business you see lots of companies hiring, but few willing to take on juniors or people they will have to train. You need to present yourself as the person who can get productive quickly, and work as a member of a team. Past work experience sends that message better than a list of languages and frameworks, which is why people with little or no actual work experience have a disadvantage.

Competition is most intense at the low end. Companies get lots of applications from people who don’t have a lot of experience, and people who don’t even match the requirements. You need to get out of that queue.

The best way to get the job you want is through personal contacts. Those can be people you know from school or previous jobs, people you meet at conferences or meetups, friends of friends. Good recruiters (yes, they exist) can open doors and get around automated CV screening. You don’t have to fake schmooze or build up LinkedIn “connections,” but you do have to put in some effort beyond clicking Apply on a web site.

I have some articles on my web site typicalprogrammer.com you might find helpful. I recommend the book Who’s Hiring Who by Richard Lathrop.
The only reason it is more expensive is that people will pay the mark-up and they are a for profit company. There is no more reasons than that needed for it to be expensive. The $2 to workers is nice, but the main thing that is used for is marketing as you shared here which allows them to put another $20 mark-up on the item. Of course it is nice that workers gets better conditions, but you'd be better of donating that money instead.
How was it ever possible for S3 to take such a market share. Or is this market share not existing? Coming from the 90ies I could never imagine paying for outgoing traffic when already paying for a server with internet connection. There was a.early time where you would get throttled to 100MBit (and much earlier in time to 10MBit/s) but this is long gone. What do you do with S3 that such prices seem fair for anything other than rarely accessed files?

Honestly, I'm going to be hard-pressed to not give a sarcastic answer to someone proposing "async generators" as "the simplest way to manage state". They are not popular, thus they are not transferable, and I cannot imagine why I would want to use a library which advertises race conditions as a feature when managing complex application state

If you're into this, that's the hardware to get. A massive ecosystem of cores with good software to choose, configure and keep them all up to date.

I just wish the target devboard was among those supported by the open synth/place/route stack. Maybe in the future, somebody will make an OSHW custom board for the purpose, using a well-supported FPGA that could also hopefully be fatter than the one the DE-10 Nano has.

But, right now, MiSTer is the way to go.
Well, for starters, segregating the unvaccinated population into “safe zones” will prevent our healthcare system from being completely destroyed. In Canada, we are seeing children’s surgeries being postponed because their doctors have been called out to help mostly-unvaccinated covid patients. This is insanity.

We have solid mathematical proof of an excellent prophylactic against severe sars-cov-2 outcomes. Regardless any unfortunate harm caused by any of the variety of vaccinations that are available, the outcome odds are better than for being virus-naïve and catching covid.

A looot of people catching covid are staying sick, feeling foggy and out of breath; a loooot of people with vaccinations get over it right quick. Basic 1+1=2 math IMO.
Honest question: why do I need more perspective than mine to make statements about my experience of the universe? Regardless of how broad or limited a statement I wish to make, the experience I have as an individual is the sum total of my reality. Unless I already value mitigating the pitfalls of undue generalization, why shouldn't I measure the universe by the yard stick of myself?

I'm not defending the original statement. I happen to agree with you, but for different reasons. If it isn't already crucial to me that I have a lot of perspective, then why is it crucial?

This is pretty much how an offline-first app using rxdb (or just PouchDB) together with PouchDB works.

Offline account creation? Just let the user use the app locally without creating an account.

I only have two pain points with a CouchDB/PouchDB setup:

1. Technically, a user could post some garbage into his database after obtaining a session token. Design docs can help, but still cause overhead.

2. Only the "one database per user" approach properly ensures that each user can only access his private stuff. But then, querying information across users always requires to write some script that fetches the info from each database and aggregates them - instead of making one simple query.

Man - the magnitude / impact of these chips shortages on autos in particular is crazy.

Regardless of Opel popularity, in the US the F-150 was a best selling vehicle and massive cash cow and they had unfinished vehicles sitting out.
