I'm still using my 12 (!) year old 17" MacBook Pro as daily work machine. Yes, it's not the fastest computer but for my usage it works. Granted, starting IntelliJ needs some time, but coding still works well (and compiling big codebases isn't done locally).

The one thing that really isn't usable anymore is Aperture/Lightroom. And missing docker because my CPU is too old (but docker it still works in VMs ...) is a pain.
> It's taken me up to six weeks to convince people that it's ok for them to ask questions and, until that happens, I have to constantly ask them how things are going to make sure they're not stuck.

I never considered that this might be common. I guess I shouldn’t take myself as an example.
Unlike a railroad, there isn't much in terms of assets in a bus service sans the paper value of the brand itself and (where applicable) route licenses. Old buses are long-since written off, new buses are usually leased.

Further driving down the value (which does seem to be cheap given that GH made 54M profit out of 914M revenue) are long-term obligations: lease agreements that may be expensive to break, employment contracts for the drivers and operating costs (fuel, road tolls) that have to be paid even if a bus line isn't operating at capacity (or, as with corona crisis, at all).
The cap? Or the actual slider? If you have the specs of the slider I can dig around for a suitable substitute, alternatively I can go on the lookout for a donor synth.
All of my scad designs include an o=0.01; or 0.001, and all it's for is for prepending or appending to other values and expressions all over the place so that cuts and joins always overlap at least a little.
If using web search using textual tty interface was useful for something, I would want to do it via my existing terminal program, not via browser.

I expected a "don't be afraid to ask the stupid questions" article and this is sort of that.

The first few paragraphs are meandering and, seemingly, deliberately obtuse. Many of the examples are examples of a kind of "I'm so much smarter than you, I can play the stupid" arrogance that is incredibly off putting in real life because it leads to a bunch of bad faith questions and interactions.

I really get the impression that the author is an unreliable narrator and that they are always the hero of their story. It is pretty easy to read many of the examples as the person NOT thinking the author was stupid, but rather that the author was a arrogant, condescending ass (especially the Apple store employee, their insurance brokers and every medical professional they have seen).
fair, I might give it a look if I ever need to create web project. I think ultimately the critique is still valid though. At least in robotics, new knowledge is typically complimentary of existing knowledge. My ML projects don't negate my knowledge of control theory, physics, operating systems, embedded computer architecture, etc.
High refractive index glass, sure, on the one really weak eye. But the other isn't so weak and my glasses hung squew on my face. Also, trifocals and subsequently variable focus glass is super expensive. Variable focus plastic is cheaper. I can replace plastic lenses every other year, and they weigh less on my face.

I moved to plastic lenses five years ago 50 years into my life as a glasses wearer. How long have you had sub par eyeballs?

Are you comparing a wrapper around a native app(chromium) to an app running on an OS emulated on a VM, with non-physical connection to a physical drive?
I guess the drive bandwidth itself would punish an app enough. Random disk reads and writes are no where near native performance.
Android over vm is much worse than electron, for wide usage.
> In Germany they have buses labeled with flixbus logos. It didn’t seem like partnerships.

Take a careful look at the front side of the bus, driver side, and the front door. There will be the logo of the partner operating the route.

Flixbus and the various companies they bought up over the years requires the partners to decorate their buses in the Flixbus CI (green/orange + logo). Exceptions apply for peak-capacity / spare buses, these however have to be decorated with a magnetically attachable Flixbus logo if in service for Flixbus.

The Verilog code for the 4 RISC-V cores of various sizes is licensed with the Apache License.

They are some of the best existing RISC-V cores. One of them was the fastest existing RISC-V core when it was introduced.

You can use the Verilog code to either synthesize it for a FPGA and run it in a FPGA board with a large enough FPGA, or if you have access to an ASIC manufacturing process, you can synthesize it for that process and include the RISC-V cores together with whatever else is needed in a custom IC, without paying any royalties.

Using one of these cores for a FPGA board seems very attractive, because most other open-source cores that are available have a much lower performance.

They have also provided versions of the gcc compiler, of the glibc standard C library, of the boot loader, of the Android Bionic standard library and a few other software packages that are needed to run programs for Linux or Android on these RISC-V cores, which have many extensions over the base RISC-V specification.

Alibaba appears to have played for a few years with RISC-V, but even if they have succeeded to design the fastest such cores, eventually they have decided to use ARMv9-A for their real high-performance server CPUs.
Reading your review, you call Xin an idiot, but I saw her as an alternative type of hero who rejects Luo Ji's effective but ultimately unsustainable and mutually-destructive masculinity. This felt very fresh to me.

Yep, true. But don't be tempted just to iterate on it to take account of that and whatever you discover next!
Remember that this "chip shortage" isn't just for fancy tiny nm-process micros, it's across the whole industry. I'm in embedded systems for medical devices, and shortages of NOR flash memory, EEPROMs, oscillators, high-side drivers, ethernet PHYs, PMICs, you name it... output is just not keeping up with demand and the 1000-pound gorillas, the Toyotas and Fords and Apples and Samsungs, they make it extremely difficult when they vacuum up all the parts. It's hard to keep our lines running with our yearly quantities in the low thousands.
It sounds to me as though a firmware patch should be able to fix that to some extent. The main culprit here is the interrupt service routine, which while tight likely isn't immune to some code golfing.

It's more like "willingness to be confident no matter what", isn't it?

I mean, stupid people do exactly the same stuff. The difference is their thought process is actually flawed but they're confident they're right.

The only difference is in being objectively right or wrong - either way, just be confident.

Smarter people seem to have trouble with that because they are often open to learning/being corrected and second guess their decisions.

Skepticism is only useful inasmuch as it leads to research and action.

Being skeptical if the climate is changing? Completely irrational on the level of being skeptical if the Earth is a sphere or if Gravity will work tomorrow.

A thought being original doesn't mean it's valuable: just that it's different.
> 6 years is also beyond the service life of a(ny) machine.

That was the case for many decades. I think it’s no longer nearly the case. I’ve got a USB/DP KVM switch on my desk and regularly switch between my work laptop (2019 i9 MBPro) and my personal computer (2014 Dell i7-4790, added SSD and 32GB).

Same 4K screens, peripherals, everything else. I find the Dell every bit as usable and expect to be using it 3 years from now. I wouldn’t be surprised if I retire the MacBook before the Dell.

It was pretty clear that he was purged from all the media platforms because the people who run the platforms do not like him. The events at the Capitol were just a smoke screen. The removal of Gab from all platforms was also a major red flag, but most people here didn't seem to mind the oligarchy as long as it's their guys who are in charge.
Good day! Until the end of the week, I had to submit my abstracts, but the guys who live with me in the hostel had parties and this really interfered with my work and did not allow me to concentrate.

Yeah, unfortunately it's a bit vague on the period. It is not unreasonable to assume an annual figure, in which case you're looking at something closer to 20% of the server costs for A/C power (assuming an average life of about 4 years).

Problem is, that sounds high... the coefficient of performance for chillers is around 4 to 7 [1]. That puts ~15-30% of the total energy demand from chillers, though often datacenters do budget a factor up to about 60% of equipment power demand for cooling power demand. Sum energy related expenses for datacenters tends to be around 10-15% of the total costs [2]. So it would be odd to have such high cooling costs. A TCO over 4 years seems more in line with typical figures.

I think it's better to be a bit more charitable here indeed.

I also found it striking how the post is emphasizing how important transparency in asking questions is which might or might not reveal the intelectual qualities of the person asking, but then failing to be that transparent towards both the clerk and the reader of the blog post about the internal thought process.

The DX7ii I have is a fucking tank of a machine and I'm playing it until it breaks, fixing it, and then playing it some more. I guess I kind of understand typical "car guys" now.

The best part is being able to map the sliders to /almost/ any parameter within a patch, so it's possible to have expressive control over the tonality of your instrument while playing live. Sure it involves menu diving to figure out ahead of time, but I'm a programmer. It's really more about the joy of being like "this sound needs more wonk, lets tie this parameter to the output of this other function and ooOOOH not what I was expecting but let's go"
Okay? I don't see how that changes anything. Twitter can do whatever they want, but it's still unacceptable.

Have you ever worked at a company where there's a strict code of behavior, but the CEO is a rich loud-mouthed douchebag and nobody can shut him up because they'd get fired?

I have. Kind of unfair, isn't it?

Unfair would be having a well documented code of conduct on a platform who's terms apply for everybody except the rich, and the rich are allowed to say whatever they want on this platform.

Twitter, Facebook and others have neither legal nor moral obligation to host Trump, or anybody else.
This reminds me of the simple brilliance of Socrates. He began from the premise that he knew nothing, and would ask all manner of simple questions building on top of the previous answers. It wasn't long before he uncovered how little everyone else actually knew, but what separated Socrates was his honesty: he knew nothing and admitted it.

Naturally, the established powers and polite society didn't find this to their liking. We all know how his story ended.
They were at the top of the pyramid, that's what happened.

The guy's basically an inept Hitler-wannabe, but I find clever that TRUTH is in the same font and color as his TRUMP brand. Probably some subliminal effect there.

A Swiss journalist did a report of what 1 year of Trump newsletters contained, the screenshots should explain it: https://www.msn.com/de-ch/nachrichten/politik/seit-einem-jah...
This is being done through a SPAC, and so really is nothing more than a grift, as you might expect from Trump and his ilk.

It's sad that this can actually be a thing, but it's the reality of the sorry state of our capital markets at this point.
I'd argue the exact opposite, it's much easier to take duplicated code and abstract it away. If you find that's not the case, maybe that's precisely because it wasn't such a good abstraction to begin with.
I think OP is referring to this:

> For example, if a date thinks I'm stupid because I ask them what a word means, so much so that they show it in their facial expression and/or tone of voice, I think it's pretty unlikely that we're compatible, so I view finding that out sooner rather than later as upside and not downside.
Taliban was already on Twitter before that deal took place, so this is a moot point.
True enough. I've also found the mastadon is a better experience for myself than twitter and I like the decentralized nature of that platform.

SDFs don't really work for CAD. You cannot even apply an anisotropic scale without making the distance field non-euclidian, which will render the effect of subsequent operations unintuitive. Extrusion along a path is impractical if not impossible in the general case.
The medical establishment knew N95s were critical from SARS and, at least in, North America had plenty of circumstantial evidence that COVID was, at least, somewhat reduced by masks; as did the author

Further, my former co-workers from my stint in HIV testing were ALL saying wear masks and don't count on a vaccine being available until 2021 at the very earliest. They all started self isolating very early.

The whole "medical establishment" DID know this.

This was a failure of leadership of the medical establishment to either listen to the rest of the medical establishment or to effectively push back on the political leadership.

> ...you have an obligation to ask the “stupid” questions...

I really agree with that but it's all about being willing to take a risk.

Many settings, especially in corporate environments, are intrinsically hostile to inquiry. These are places where meetings are run with semi-parliamentary rules-- just pro-forma affairs to mark project transitions.

In such situations, it may be that the others know better than you do and thus STFU or else be silently, immediately, and permanently dismissed for future consideration by those who call the shots.
If I want to ask something online I intentionally make the question sound stupid and uninformed since that provokes better and more clear replies.
All true. In my case I had to take a huge pay cut just so I was able to get into the industry. I'm not sure if this is the correct way (or the only way) to get in from a web development background. It is just what I did.

There are fewer companies that do embedded systems, but there are also not that many developers. Headhunters call me a few times a month just to ask if I'm willing to change my job, since experienced real-time embedded systems engineers are so rare that they have to actually steal one from somewhere else.

Really, really, depends on your situation.

I'd disagree and I believe courts would disagree should a banned user take their case up legally. A ToS is agreed upon and when violated the company may ban you at their discretion.

Same scenario when a store has a "no shirt, no shoes, no service" sign. Or a high end restaurant requires people to wear a suit coat and tie.

Totally and legally acceptable.
