ARM isn’t _the_ reason. It is a reason.

If we were to go back in time to before apple introduced it’s own SoC and before it had acquired chip design start ups, even before than ARM was on the table as that is what the iPhone ran.

RISC-V wasn’t a thing back then. So the alternatives were MIPS, Power or maybe a home grown instruction set.

So we just have to go with what the reality is now. The apple silicon has been well optimised for performance per watt. And it runs on an ARM instruction set that apple itself helped in the design of.
None of that experience translates to programming work imo
None of that has really anything to do with systems thinking. That models change, omit information and don't represent reality as such is true for any kind of thinking, systems or otherwise. That's just a truism.

At its core systems thinking is an antidote to reductionism. The essential feature of a system is that it is an indivisible whole and that its features are more than the sum of its parts. Systems lose their properties when taken apart into components, because their properties are the result of interactions between components, not the sum of the properties of components in isolation.

That insight produces the most important practical application of systems thinking, which is that systems always need to be designed from the ground up. People should never try to improve individual metrics, but only improve parts if it improves the whole. That's also what most of the examples in Maedow's book are about that's quoted in the piece.

It's also quite funny to bring up a transition to microservices in the piece in this context. I think microservice architectures are almost always the result of ignoring systems thinking lessons. People start to think in terms of the performance of each individual service, start to develop each service on its own terms, and start to ignore the fact that what matters is the interaction between services. It's exactly the kind of silo-ing that systems approaches try to avoid.
Note that if OP expects anything like the "real" Visual Studio that runs on Windows, this is really nothing compared to it. I'd even go further and actually prefer Vscode with the right extensions compared to this "Visual Studio".
No, not quite. The choke was basically just a kludge to enrich the fuel-air mixture beyond the limits of what a carburator would otherwise be mechanically able to achieve. If it had had this ability -- something like "below-idle", where idle is the lower limit of where the carburator can keep the engine running -- then there would never have been a choke. Fuel injection can do that because of the different physical / mechanical way it mixes air and fuel. It has nothing to do with the computerization per se.
It might be more correct to say, that a program are the instructions, which lead to the machine transitioning throught some sequence of states.

Woah - that really sucks you're in a job that you hate. For your own health you should try something else that you don't hate.
I haven't really touched C++ for a few years and it seems due to its lack of a nice package manager single header libraries are getting more and more poplar. Does this mean I should expect compilation time to significantly increase during development as headers need to be recompiled every time?

If you ignore the genocide of Native Americans, which in many cases did not stop once those Native Americans accepted US government jurisdiction, maybe.
Yes, and indeed, the USistan's long-term viability, like any human enterprise must be looked in terms of assets vs liabilities.

And right now, the picture isn't exactly rosy, certainly not something I'd invest in.

I'm no fan of Tether (as a matter of fact, I'm pretty certain it'll blow up in fairly short order. I am actually looking for a well constructed way to short it)

I'd say you are in a very tiny niche for the SIM and stylus alone. Which vendors/brands does this leave you with?

Personally I previously searched for:

1. Super fast CPU (got the Ryzen)
2. With enough RAM (32GB, unofficially)
3. At a cheap non-Apple price ("gaming" laptop)
4. That looks somewhat professional (Lenovo won against the ASUS which screamed teenager)
5. That runs Linux well enough.
> 2) Properly rugged business PCs are still better hardware (hardware is more than just the CPU).

Any models you’d point at? After 5 minutes with an HP thing the employer gave me, I’ve never touched it, that thing was an abomination. I’d like a good alternative.
Thunderbolt is Intel's proprietary technology, I don't think AMD will ever have that. I think you'll have to wait for USB-4 if the current speeds really aren't enough.
Very easily on text. Get a proper high-resolution display and you’ll never want to go back.

That 16″ 3840×2400 display means 283ppi; 1920×1200 would be only 142ppi. (Even a 13.3″ 1920×1080 is still only 166ppi.)

I went down from a Surface Book’s 13.5″ 3000×2000 (267ppi) to a Zephyrus G15’s 15.6″ 2560×1440 (188ppi) and although it’s definitely better than 1920×1080 it’s still definitely not as good as the Surface Book for crispness. (Most people probably wouldn’t worry about the difference, but they’d certainly notice it if going down to the 141ppi that 1920×1080 would represent.) That Vivobook looks magnificent: if I hadn’t just recently obtained my G15 and could actually get that Vivobook, I’d do so like a shot.

Nothing was deleted, but Apple doesn't have access to her private Google account so they can't see what she has there. I doubt Google will cooperate with Apple over this, so from Apple's perspective she could have deleted evidence.

“Mental energy” is a pretty common phrase, and it refers to the ability to start and sustain work on tasks which require mental effort. Eating a candy bar can provide a temporary boost to mental energy, but it’s not an effective everyday approach.

There are many physical and psychological issues which diminish people’s mental energy. ADHD and depression being the most obvious.

Fortunately for many of those conditions there are also ways to increase the amount of mental energy you have available.

The decision-making body of the Federal Reserve System – the thing that sets monetary policy, among other things – is a government agency (the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve.)

In a similar vein - I don’t know what you call it, but the sensation you get when you run your finger over the case of a charging MacBook is just so gross.
> If Tether holders were fleeing, they would be going into other stablecoins like USDC, not BTC.

That's assuming other stablecoins are:

a) actually backed up by non-risky assets, Quite a stretch.

b) can easily be exchanged to USD in large quantities

c) can be purchased with USDT

Neither of these are particularly guaranteed to actually exist.

If I was holding USDT right now (I am not, thank god), my preferred exit route would most definitely be BTC. And in very short order.

Unions in Germany are also a pain in the bottom when they are populated with incompetent people who want to show how important they are.

Adding any security technology is a nightmare because they have an obsession about being spied on.

Take a standard EDR: the security team just wants the company to be safe from hackers. The unions think that all they wish is to spot on them. What will happen is that the company will crash after repeated hacks and they know they will be the last to be fired because they are there to protect people...

Of course this is just une side, unions are fantastic when they actually do their job and this is thanks to them we have the Labour Law we have. It is just that the people today are not the same as the ones who actually cared.

Pointers (and other types) don't have "const-ness" attached to them - it's entirely dependent on the declaration of the function. Also, in C++ you can't overload on function return types.

Oh of course, I didn't want to go into that detail but trust me I know all that, TB3 got donated to USB IF, it became USB 4 with a few extras (most importantly the USB packets on the bus). And then Intel took USB 4 and put a marketing name on "USB 4 with every optional feature on" and called it Thunderbolt 4.

And yes, likely next year, AMD will have USB 4 but -- not right now.

And the problem is not exactly the bus speed -- although 10Gpbs is not that much -- but the lack of external PCI Express (or any other DMA capable protocol but the last non-PCIe tech doing that was Firewire and that's gone).
Slight off topic but I am curious about using bits in an integer for flags. As the article mentions Gross uses 2 least significat bits for flags and the rest is an integer for reference counting. When someone considers whether to use most significant bits or least significant bits are there any major differences? Is is easier to implement or faster because of processor architectures/instruction sets to use least significnt bits or is that just a matter of choice?
exactly. corporate capitalism killed innovation; the poisons are liability, intellectual property, and monopolization in tech that uses the first two in the starting lanes to stop competition, and buyouts if competition makes it to the finish lane.

I did no ego-death drugs, but I definitely can feel how the complexity of things I interact with reacts to my changes and approaches. It is animate, and intimate to my understanding of that word (I can’t even describe it to the others). One may say thay it’s all in my head, and in a sense would be right, but it’s all in your head as well. Were you a rock, you couldn’t feel it. Were your lovers p-zombies, you couldn’t tell it. But on the other hand, despite having relationships in my life, I can’t tell that they were more intimate than that, so that I could somehow choose one over another if asked to. Maybe I cannot feel intimacy it at all? Another possibility is that neither of us are wrong, stumbling on a definition of a rock. Any phenomenon is complex enough when you dig deeper, and the complexity is never inanimate, it interacts back.

Also, I too didn’t want to sound condescending or superior, and more importantly do not feel that way, but I understand the initial comment you replied to. One issue with this subthread is it never defined rocks or intimacy, which I tried to explore but then left.

it's an active relationship where both parties involved do something to foster or maintain the intimacy

Both yes and no. At wake up in the morning level, it is correct, but when you get into something deep/high enough, lines start to blur. Is a human the most complex being? Is he really what we think it is? Are we objects and not parts of something more sophisticated as a whole? Being non-religious non-esoteric I’m not speaking sprirituals here, these are physical questions you have to ask yourself anyway. See also: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28870858

Edit: and if you feel that these comments are quite delusional, it’s fine, because problems of consciousness (which intimacy fully bases on) live exactly on that level. The more you think about it, the less ground you feel.
PC-compatible hardware and software is not going anywhere...
Is it superfluous? I will admit that when I first read about constexpr my first thought was 'why can't the compiler figure this out automatically?'. I assume that compiler vendors all agreed that a new keyword was necessary, they don't add them without reason.
It’s not a lie though - the sawmill did indeed raise its minimum wage. The author posits that the experience of this sawmill defies what “we” have been told about wages across the state, because this company raised their wages and didn’t experience the negative effects that were asserted.

Something Dan is not talking about at all but is at the core of my personal productivity troubles is energy level management. There is a world of difference between my average productivity and my peak productivity as I tend to work in short productive bursts then need a lot of time to recharge.

My yearly work output is OKish but my daily or weekly productivity has very high variance, which has caused me some trouble in the past (especially in agile shops where constant productivity is expected).

Personally I haven’t found any magical way to meaningfully improve my average productivity. Every time I think I just found a magic bullet, it usually boils down to working closer to my peak productivity for some time (sometimes without noticing it myself) then realizing I can not sustain that on a full year / full decade / full career.

Before thinking of improving specific skills, just being able to be focused and working without distraction all day every day would be an order-of-magnitude improvement for me.
Interesting! What is the overhead of this? We found that jemalloc's heap profiling had a small (perhaps 1-2%? It's been a while) CPU penalty and, depending on the complexity of the code being profiled and the sample rate, potentially a few hundred MB of extra RAM use on very large, complex binaries. I'd assume the RAM cost is similar given the data is the same (i.e. backtraces).
Why not

const int x = const foo(bar(y));

In the meantime two big contenders raised up, vcpkg alongside NuGET from Microsoft (also does Mac and Linux), and conan.

Personally I dislike conan, because package managers should be written in the language of the community they serve, but that is me.

Thankfully, both support binary libraries.

Then there are modules, which on Visual C++'s case are going along quite well.

Anyone that bothers using header only libraries only has themselves to blame for waiting for builds, they are a plague from users that pretend C and C++ are scripting languages.
Not necessarily so, ASUS as an example has released an AMD board equipped with thunderbolt 4 in the form of the B550 ProArt. In a laptop it’s perhaps a bit more problematic until USB-4 comes along in greater volumes, but by then Thunderbolt and USB-4 will be the same thing
chinese topics are not popularity here as they often are encountered with a certain negative bias and a modern form of the Godwin's law where every discussion ends on how bad the party is (but ofc not the poor oppressed people, just they party with 100 mio members, a 90pc approval rating), how mean the chinese detention centers in xinjiang are and how mean china is bullying taiwan.

even just the pointing out of that leads to abysmal post ratings, like this post (that will receive negative ratings).

the good stuff about china (and there is so so so much amazing and great stuff happening there, ALSO on gov and party level) is being ignored or only receives very little attention.

i think that many people just dont want to be voted negative and self censor them, which i have done also often.
> I don't think they're trying to "make their vision happen," I think they're trying to solve real issues people have with URLs.

I think you're sadly misguided and, frankly, scaringly naïve.
USD gets its value from the legal requirement that taxes are paid in USD. Anyone who lives or wants to do business in the United States has to have dollars. That sets a floor of demand that more demand can be built on.

Cryptos often have limited supply but have no floor on demand. For USD to go to zero, the United States as we know it would have to collapse. Most cryptos could go to zero with no real world change aside from people finding a different asset to speculate on.
> Second, 1USDT backed by less than 1USD in value is obviously worth less than 1USD no matter what happens to the USD.

That's obviously not how it works. For instance, US banks have capital requirements of ~8%, but the dollars they issue aren't worth $0.08, they're worth a full dollar (as long as no bank run happens). The same mechanics hold for Tether, whether they're regulated or not.

In fact, USDTs are often worth more than a real dollar because the demand for them trumps their risk discount.
> It's funny that of all the gazillion features C++ has supported a for well over a decade the C folks have been missing out on, they pick exactly the one superfluous keyword in C++ to cherrypick onto C.

It looks to me that it's a significant improvement that's also a very low hanging fruit, given that C/C++ compilers that already support C++'s constexpr can trivially support it for C as well.
I would absolutely expect warranty to cover damage from overheating. It’s supposed to have adequate protection to avoid such damage. Leave it completely turned on, cover its fans, stuff it in a warm blanket and load its CPU until it overheats (slowly, quickly, doesn’t matter) and if it sustains any permanent damage it is not fit for purpose.

Dell’s attempt to disclaim warranty in a situation like that won’t fly in Australia.
They should add `pure` function attribute instead, also maybe the ownership.

But that's not good enough for people bc now you're expected to walk a linguistic minefield due to all the pedantic asshole on the internet who won't listen in good faith, then accuse you of speaking in bad faith

A good example is this thread. Chappelle was trying to use anecdotes to meet people halfway, and he did it in his language of comedy.

People accuse him of punching down... But comedy that concerns itself with punching up or lunching down is comedy + something else. Its not comedy. Just like atheism+. And so Chappell is coming from a different perspective and no one wants to see and listen to what he's trying to say.

Comedians say all kinds of fucked up shit to each other. That's their language. He extended the olive branch and for that.... There's firings and walkout and internet arguments.

Their clever trick is this: instead of making every USDT worth less than 1USD they made some of the USDT worth 1USD and the rest worth nothing. This plus relentless misinformation and shaming of the skeptics apparently makes it possible to keep up for a very long time.

Your question: There is no finite set. There is no end to it. This is a process. You do it over and over. You don‘t invest into a set and be done with it (and likely over-invested in some). One step at a time. And once in a while reevaluate the territory.
ANNs are function approximators so it s trivial for them to learn a mathematical function like a prng. The seed is irrelevant to the ANN, it just learns the function's sequence, regardless of where it started. Which makes the interesting question how many people are already cracking PRNGs with ANNs ?
