OK, let's unfold this next bit.

>It was always questionable that Samsung was planning to beef up its Exynos smartphone chips, since the company splits its flagship smartphone lineup between Exynos and Qualcomm, depending on the region. Exynos chips are always inferior to Qualcomm chips, but Samsung considers the two products close enough to call the Exynos- and Qualcomm-based phones the same product. If Samsung knocked it out of the park with an AMD GPU, where would that leave the Qualcomm phones? Would Samsung ditch Qualcomm? That's hard to believe, and it sounds like the easy answer is for the company to just not dramatically change the Exynos smartphone chips.

1. The history of two chip in two market is mostly due to CDMA patents licensing usage aka Qualcomm. This isn't a Samsung only problem.

2. Samsung has made it clear they want a single chip for all market. Especially after the patent dispute settlement with Qualcomm in 2019. Qualcomm also gets some better deal with Samsung Foundry.

3. Samsung Foundry, and specifically Samsung Foundry ( since Samsung is a huge conglomerate ) has a long history of over promise and under deliver. I made two bet with an industry analyst on Samsung not delivering their promise in the past 5 years. And so far my prediction have not been wrong. This has some implication in Qualcomm's deal because they could fall behind in their chip's leadership. i.e They could go back to TSMC.

That interesting thing about this Samsung AMD chip collaboration was that it was originally labelled as a good partnership by Dr Lisa Su because AMD was not competing in the Phone market. Much like their console Semi- Custom Silicon division. That make sense. But now Samsung making a chip for their laptop is basically entering AMD's Ryzen territory. If these were ChromeOS based laptop then it would be fine, but all source and direction are currently pointing to Windows - ARM solution. Dr Lisa Su dodged the question once, and no other analyst / interviewer seems to be asking the hard question.

I am wondering if AMD are turning into a Semi-IP company.
But different goods inflate at different rates. Bread will not inflate much at all as few are hindered in their bread consumption by money.

Housing will inflate much faster that the rate of money supply increase as you can always own more property. All excess money would go into property and stocks.

If you own a house and stocks, you now have lots more equity to spend, but regular consumption has not increased in price anywhere near as much.

If you don't own a house, your goal just got a lot further out of reach and your salary will not rise accordingly because the prices for consumables didn't rise much and demand did not rise much.
On the hardware side, sure, it would be great to have cutting-edge tech. Money is a factor. Realistically, my hardware is good enough for my present needs.

On the software side, I am absolutely aware of what is available.

File operations do seem pretty slow on Windows. What I've noticed is that latency for individual access seems really bad. Does that latency actually scale with CPU speed?

Edit: btw, what were you using to unzip the file on Windows? How about Linux (unzip?)

What Linux kernel/distro, what sort of zip file (large files vs small, encrypted?)
I'm not on/never used reddit so I wouldn't know.
I'm replacing "raiders" with "engineers" and using this to draw up some team codes of conduct:

It's been slow because the coin hasn't been adopted by anyone yet. I'd imagine that if it was actually adopted by some real market, giving it real value, it would grow a lot faster.

So it is an issue to combine those two features, onion routing and blockchain. Because onion routing only requires bandwidth donation.
This sounds extremely authoritarian to me. Today, if the state wanted to shutdown the internet backbone, they can by the same means you're alluding to - physical raid at all backbone infrastructure of the internet. That's as much government authority as I am willing to accept.
The man pages used to warn that isalnum, ispunct etc were only defined if isascii was true.

That seems to have disappeared - which supports your view.
That's a really good point that I had overlooked. Thanks.
Honestly. How incredibly disrespectful.
What exactly are the foundations of this? The rules on the page suggest that it is basically the calculus of constructions but the example involving the list suggests that there are inductive types too. Are the inductive types part of the foundations and omitted in the list of rules or are they something else that is not part of the foundation?

> in a "free market" tenants have no rights.

Their rights are what is mutually agreed upon in the rental agreement.

> without laws to prevent it, landlords could arbitrarily raise rents whenever they felt like it.

Many rental contracts have clauses specifying when and how much the rent can change.

Landlords can demand whatever they want, but a tenant would have to agree to it. Tenants can also demand whatever they want, but the landlord would have to agree. That's supply & demand at work.
Taiwan is most definitely not China and does not share passport/visitor data.
Yeah it is fixing the symptom not the cause.
YouTube and plenty of other sites worked fine on the typical computer of the time which would have IE6.

Over a decade later, hardware is much more powerful yet the site is even slower than it used to be. I've started using Invidious exclusively because of that.

Doing less with more is not "progress".
At one point, very early on (around 2015), the game fully simulated "physics" for each item on a belt. If positioned in certain ways, inserters would place items in the center of a belt and they'd form a lane down the middle, blocking items from being placed on either side. I think they'd even stay that way through splitters.

The modern game is a lot more restrictive in terms of how items can be laid out on belts. (This is a good thing. The old behavior was often unpredictable and hard to control.)
It’s not that simple because of the quantity and velocity of the deal flow. In depth due diligence can take weeks and considering how rare these situations are, it’s usually not worth possibly missing a deal.

It also depends on getting accurate information in the first place and a private company can hide a lot.

There’s also the condition that VCs might have found out and passed but won’t really make much noise about it. They usually don’t have much to gain in calling out “bad” deals and can even hurt them in the future so they stay quiet, for better or worse.
Nervolink Review, Is Nervolink supplement a scam?
Any CA worth their salt uses some sort of true random number generator by now, right? Like measuring radioactive decay or something?

I imagine if you (e.g.) XOR the state of a strong PRNG with the timestamp from an atomic clock whenever your Geiger counter goes off, you'd have infinite true random.
Is there a person left on this earth that hasn't heard that obesity puts you at greater risk of a bad case of covid?

I agree that maybe health officials could use this as a good opportunity to encourage people to lose weight. But let's be realistic, it takes a long time and a lot of effort to lose serious weight. And don't we all know that harping on it even more will make very little difference?

I had a conversation with a group of friends and the comment came up that unvaccinated people were creating a serious burden on the healthcare system. Someone else said that obese people are putting the real burden and that is where we should focus out effort.

Both statements are true, but only one of those problems can be solved in literally a few minutes with a single shot that is already paid for by the government. I think we need to go for the low hanging fruit first when we are dealing with a global pandemic.
> IE4 came out at a time when Microsoft considered Netscape an existential threat. IE4 was really the last nail in the coffin. It was actually way better/faster than NS. By the time IE6 came around, there was no imminent threat to Windows in the form of the Web being a platform replacement. So IE6 stagnated and became the bane of the Internet. IE-specific hacks (and IE6 in particular) became the norm for Web developers. It was pervasive too. For example, IE had a completely different interpretation of the CSS box model to everyone else (specifically, how padding, margin and width should interoperate).

Well, let's also remember that the governments of the the United States and the European Union came in and intervened with Microsoft's use of Internet Explorer. With the benefit of hindsight, we can see this is an aberration -- every other major consumer OS (macOS, iOS, Android) has a bundled web browser that has significant market share among that OS's user base. No government seems to have gotten involved in these operating systems.

Microsoft's decision to stop investing so much in IE can be contextualized by noting that major world governments intervened to insist that Microsoft's marketshare in web browsers was reduced. It's not a shocker that organizations respond to their incentives, and Microsoft's incentives to spend a lot of money on IE were reduced by government involvement.
I never get why it would be a world war. Try engaging the problem by the size of the territory.

Would US risk WW3 over:

Eastern Europe? Yes

Japan? Yes

South Korea? No

Taiwan? No

Crimea? No

Hong Kong? No

Main thing I'm not digging is that keyboard... can you actually use that to do anything meaningful? Maybe if most things are voice controlled or something/copilot. I'm so used to my 1 ft wide mech keyboard.

Thanks!
I think we have to distinguish between languages that use s-expressions and lisps. Almost all languages have some sort of preprocessor that make it look like lisp but that doesn't turn it into lisp. From what I vaguely remember, lush lacked some of the defining qualities of a lisp.
Yes I’m sure plenty here have - what’s the question you have?

My advice is if they’re sufficiently senior and influential, and nothing is being done about their behaviour it’s a toxic workplace - you should leave the company.
even better: slash dot dot dot big bang dot com

You can see where this going :)
I wouldn’t be so sure, the growing vulnerability of American aircraft carriers to Chinese anti-ship ballistic missiles such as the DF-21D is just one problem to which the Pentagon lacks a good solution.
I sort of agree with pumpkin pie, but I have had some outside of the season and it did not taste as good as it did in the season, which makes me think that my thinking it was good was because of strong nostalgia factor.

My main exhibit for this is the Danish ris a la mande which is during Christmas, it tastes great to me (nostalgia) and Danes if told it's crap will defend it. But foreigners don't taste the goodness, and really if I think about it when eating I start to think: "you know, a tiramisu is better, so is risengrød for that matter, this stuff sort of sucks but I like it."

Ris a la mande also has a specific Christmas tradition associated with it (you have to feel with your mouth for the whole almond in it, and if you find it you get a gift) so doubling down on "it's not taste" explaining the love.
Could it be a cultural difference? A team of mine once had to deal with Dutch and British people.

To some of my Canadian colleagues, they seemed rude and unengaged. Same with many Americans to us Canadians. Many of us interpret bluntness with feedback and aggressiveness as rudeness.

Knowing this, you can adjust your expectations though and see that it is within the bounds of behaviour expected for their cultural background.
Payitoff | Frontend & Backend Engineers, Devops/Sysadmin, Product Manager | USA | FULLY REMOTE

hi! We're Payitoff, and we help borrowers pay off their student loans. Not through refinancing (though that's one option) but by doing the hard work of understanding and codifying federal repayment programs and awards to give borrowers the best possible guidance on their journey. Our main products are an API and embeddable widget used by fintechs and larger institutions to power in-app student loan experiences. We also built our own infrastructure around loan aggregation and automating outcomes, including plan enrollment, certification, and payment processing.

We're looking for frontend and backend engineers, a devops/sysadmin to help with compliance, and one product manager to accelerate our team ahead of payments resuming in February. The company is ~10 people, mostly engineering, and we're well-funded.

Tech stack:
* Elixir/Phoenix/LiveView
* Postgres
* AWS
* TailwindCSS

We're happy to teach you Elixir. Bonus points for fintech/payments experience. We have great benefits including half-day Fridays, extensive time off, family-oriented culture, health/401k/529/student loan contributions, and a professional development budget. Women, minorities, and other underrepresented groups are especially welcome.

Please email desmond [at] payitoff.io if interested. Thanks :)
No Geiger counters? https://github.com/jareklupinski/passing-particles lmk if you want a >real< source of random-ness ;P
Most likely it has lower power requirements than the Pi. Your PCs USB ports cut off any load that draws more than 500 (USB 2) or 900 mA (USB 3). The Pi Zero which has the lowest power requirements, requires 1.5 A, although I think I have gotten away with 1 amp wall chargers in the past.
There's so little culpability for leaks like this. The typical "1yr of credit monitoring" corporations spring for is a joke.

We need stronger laws around data protection, with real consequences.

This sounds extreme but there's a point where I'd be happy to see some areas of government banned from using electronic records. They managed with paper records for decades, and much of the information is "write-once, store forever" anyway.
No one is talking about it, the rest of the comments are unrelated war stories about IPv6 deployment with have nothing to do with TFA.
It said military and diplomatic mail would not be affected, unless noted.

What a joke.
Which metrics are you referring to?

I can’t speak for ad agencies, but every company I’ve worked with to do advertising measured ROAS using customer attribution (which ad campaign brought which customer, and how much did that customer spend).
Good point - cultures are vastly different
A lot of folks have wondered why IE 6 stuck around so long in the first place. It’s pretty simple: group policy. Through Active Directory, admins could do things like force a specific homepage, set proxies for all browsers in the company, disable media features for security, make history undeletable, or even turn off right clicking. Around that time there weren’t alternatives to set these policies in other browsers, so admins just disabled the ability to install them in order to maintain tight control. Now Chrome and possibly other browsers can do similar, but less draconian policies, and security concerns are mitigated with separate systems.

After the time this article references, there started to be big changes around how corporate IT was managed. It went from being about gear and gate-keeping to strategically supporting business initiatives. I wonder if this little banner on the YouTube player helped nudge things forward.
Supply and demand took a back seat to hoarding assets to prop up investor value.

Taken literally the government is engaged in class warfare by forcing the public to engage in labor for private enterprise to prosper.

America is effectively a caste system, abstracting a persons value into a net worth, focused on gossip, and gaming semantics, very similarly to religious tribes.

Murder rates have come down generally speaking, over the centuries.

The cycle we need to break is letting millions starve and go homeless. We refuse to see it as equivalent to other human atrocities political capture by selfish, bitter men and women.

We need a pivot to new core values entirely. My preference would be along the lines of prioritizing biological/medical health of individuals and setting aside superfluous economic activity. But good luck passing laws favored by the public (polling has shown a majority support universal healthcare for years now).

Work stoppages will force austerity on aristocrats. History is pretty clear that’s what it takes to move the needle politically.

Gaming house prices is, to borrow Greers area/perimeter metaphor for programming, hacking the area of the established perimeter.

Futurists have been predicting collapse of nation states and a re-emergence of the city-state by 2050 for a while now. Often leaning on environmental concern and the lack of Federal exigency to tackle the problem. Perhaps they’re onto something.
"So why is everyone complaining? What is everyone aspiring for?"

I can only speak for myself here, but I know it's a valid point for many that followed the same path I did. The work I come about to do requires constant and intense mental activity on non-repetitive tasks. That takes a lot of energy. Twenty years ago, the computer engineering university faculty I've been through saw constantly the highest rate of dropout in its freshman and sophomore years, compared to any other kind of school out there. The touted reasons were mostly that there was simply too much work, that it was too grueling, too hard. The ones that prevailed weren't necessarily the smartest or the most diligent of all. They were, however, the most passioned about the computer engineering field. One had to have it to fuel the energy demand of the work necessary both in school years and after. The money is good, but that alone didn't seem to cut it. The work conditions in office are nice, but those weren't nor aren't what kept me in the game. (There were times when the space I worked in had no heating in the winter and was often smoked in, with me as non-smoker.) What I see in my peers' complaints nowadays is something that hits on the root of what made me wake up and continue every day. And the worst part is that the decision makers don't seem to be aware or caring. The mood is more like "I pay them, therefore I saddle them with whatever I see fit". So to answer you, what I aspire for? I aspire for a better fit, for both myself as someone good at something, which (from a self-development investment prospective) it makes sense to strive to do as much of it every day, as well as for the client benefiting my work/skills. I also think it's just ethical to rise awareness (even by complaints, if it has to be) when I see (my) resources misused and degrading of performance/potential in general.
This still happens in Canada I believe
I think they meant it’s cultural heritage is Chinese. Not that it’s part of the PRC government. At least that’s my good faith interpretation.
There isn't any seam once the belt is fully compacted. This saves a check per full belt per tick -- this adds up.
For commodity products, It’s all about creating a subconscious association so eg when you’re at the store you choose coke because you’re heard/seen it so many times it seems “familiar”.
Thanks. I used it years ago but it didn't suit my needs. I haven't found an indexing tool that does.

It's the difference between synchronous indexing that's baked into the system (as in file system metadata structures and database indexes, which update at the same time your data is changed) vs. fragile add-ons that index asynchronously (which in general I find tend to be too slow to update, missing results, and prone to breaking).
Never underestimate the amount of stored energy in a coiled spring... but I think the long runtime can be attributed more to low friction --- if the gear train is well-balanced, and bearings sufficiently well-polished and lubricated, then very little energy is required to rotate it.
Illumos also has ridiculously huge (but sanely-behaving, thankfully) strings functions, because somebody met jump tables once and thought they were cool.

Interesting then that "myriad" in English also means "a lot", as well as 10,000.

Sorry, and what about 億? (I only have a little Chinese)
It's just occurred to me that humans likely found out that KNO3 acted as a preservative/curing agent when gunpowder got accidentally mixed with food provisions. I can imagine on board some old war galleon or with army materiel that gunpowder accidentally spilt on foodstuffs and someone discovered its preserving properties.

Does anyone know if this happened (it seems a plausible idea to me)?
I haven't really noticed a slow down. Maybe you shouldn't base your entire world view on your own anecdotal observations?
Yep, there are enough services that drop into maintenance mode multiple time a week. Although outside local business hours, one of my banks is in maintenance mode every night (not sure if they do backups or if it's just down and has maintenance mode as 500 screen or what is going on) and the api (psd2 ) does not work then either. Well over 4 days a year I would say and literally no one cares: people are sleeping. So sure it depends on the service but 99% or less does not matter if no one is using it anyway. That said; it is quite bad in this day and age and I really wonder what it is they are 'maintaining'.
congrats your maybe nuclear hot core is almost as good as last year's phone.
More directly, Samoa is only allowing one cargo flight per week right now and it doesn't go to American Samoa.
I agree that large projects have different challenges than small ones.

Learning how to successfully manage and complete a large project is definitely something that needs hands-on experience and cannot be completely replaced by doing lots of small projects instead.

That said, the core process is the same and, especially for beginners, doing many small projects instead of one large one is important to become familiar with the gamedev process and get as much practice as possible in the shortest amount of time.
That’s…already how it is? I seriously cannot believe how bad the start menu still is in 2021 given how limited the scope of core functionality is. Somehow, simply surfacing the main entry points into dozens of GUI applications is a Herculean task that a modern OS simply cannot accomplish.
"Larry Page and Eric Schmidt, Google’s founder and its CEO respectively, were already seated in the conference room when co-founder Sergey Brin came in, out of breath. He was wearing shorts. And roller skates."

Why do tech guys always try and act like they don't care when they obviously do?

Why would Google tell Karmazin how they made money?
I still can't go down to my grocery store, or pretty much any outlet in the city, and pay with crypto.

Until that is the case, I think it's very fair to say, that crypto currency is hard to pay with.
The lack of structure is ultimately why writes to filesystems are comparatively fast and reliable, though.
