> If you're a developer or entrepreneur about to start a new endeavor, I highly recommend you consider Ruby for that project. You will find it to be a competitive advantage as you will be able to grow and adapt faster and with fewer resources.

Like a lot of people in technology, I love to play with new stuff, but as someone who's seen things come and go, it's really difficult to recommend something other than Rails for most use cases. It's got so much that you can just include in terms of libraries and it's got a good community with good values. It lets you write down a first iteration that's solid and can be incrementally improved on and taken in new directions as the business learns what's what.
I'm not advocating for a crazy job hopping lifestyle. But without job hopping salaries don't even increase wrt inflation. I worked for 6+yrs on a low salary because I didn't realize early enough that I have to switch to get good hikes

My salary has increased now in much more magnitude than my old org. Also my friends who hopped 1 more time than me have significantly more salary than me. All in the same city so they have no issues getting loans or building assets.

> There are not enough rockstar projects, to need rockstar developers.

Is this true even for Product companies and captives?

> People pay just 30% because they don't want to deal with any of this.

Then they shouldn't cry rivers of blood when people who've stayed half a decade at their first company takes their offer to get 5 other counter offers and doesn't join in their company for a meagre 30% hike.
There must be a business in tying purchase into rental companies in general. Rent car X and get your money back if you buy one in the next 3 months type thing.

Or "like the car you hire, pay X and keep it". There would have to be margin in that as rental companies usually sell cars to dealers quite early in their life and dealers are only going to pay bottom dollar.
I don't think knowing any specific mathematics is necessary for CS, but having the capacity to learn mathematics is, and most people who have that capacity end up with a degree somewhere in the science umbrella. You don't need calculus specifically, but you need the ability to abstract, to form rules and express precisely where they apply and where they do not.
Which is why I suggested comparing to the EPYC 73F3, which is a 5950X clocked at 3.5 - 4 GHz, with 4x the L3$, 4x the memory bandwidth (if you don't overclock it), and 5~6x the IO bandwidth.

We know a 5950X is roughly on-par with an M1 Max (at least ignoring the latter's 2 efficiency cores).
If the occasional wins of the M1 Max are due to memory bandwidth, this should more-or-less turn the tables.
A compromise solution would be linking to a glossary or introductory material if someone is generally versed but not in a particular subject, we get a lot of, say, pure math people on here who find software engineering interesting.
>Still many more annual overdoses of prescription pills than illegal drugs.

Not since around 2016, which is around when the panic with pills started and we started cracking down. It did put a small dent in pills but fentanyl is off the charts. We probably would have been better off, at least in terms of deaths, if we had just ignored the "opioid epidemic."

I am curious what they have in mind for toilet technology on the space station. Does Blue Origin have a "toilet team" or something like that, working on the design?
Completely untrue. Most feature films are CPU rendered. Good luck getting a lot of high end production scenes rendering on a GPU.

Why do you think x86 can't go as wide as ARM? (I predict your answer will involve something about decoders and nothing about uop caches.)

What goalpost have I moved? I have said one (true) thing: that you should judge by performance rather than by implementation details. You are falling victim to the Megahertz Myth, just the other way 'round.

I also was hoping to find a higher resolution image I could buy to print out somehow.
The full resolution is 18k x 120k pixels. At 300 DPI that works out to be 60 x 400 inches. Or 5 feet tall and 33 feet and 3 inches long, or close to 2 meters high and 10 meters long.

I think I might have a hallway that it could fit in, but wow that’s big!
Only if you measure by the GB of capacity. Flips around if you measure by the GB/s of bandwidth.
Black Bush (Chappelle's Show)
You are absolutely right, with one key alteration: There is no point for you in what Apple's doing. As you've identified, you're not the target market for their products. There is, however, a point for others, who have different priorities and compromises than you.

M1 is not a decision point for their consumer base, because most people don't care what CPU architecture is inside their laptop. However, M1 notably improves the decision points that do matter to their customer base: weight, noise, and battery capacity for each customer's workload.

This comes at the cost of macOS and the restrictions inherent in it. If that cost is acceptable, then the benefits are significant. If that cost is unacceptable, then the benefits are irrelevant. As you indicate, that cost isn't acceptable to you, and you do not indicate interest in any of the other benefits of their platform, which specifically exclude Windows, Linux, and PC gaming. This leaves me unable to determine why you're participating in this discussion.

So, then; why does the topic of 'M1 MAX' matter to you at all? I'm happy to continue discussing, but without that information, there's not a lot left to say.
Might be a dumb question, but would systemd not be able to do this? Do your boxes not run systemd?

FontDiscovery 29 Grab Attention with Le Murmure
It's very normal. High end path tracers are still very much run on the CPU. GPU rendering is improving quickly, but the author is working at WDAS. Hyperion is still a CPU renderer, and I don't see it going to the GPU anytime soon.

Commercials and mid to low budget TV shows are moving to GPU rendering , but it's very much a factor of scene complexity and available time.
It seems pretty clear that there's at least some level of genetic component to addiction. It seems likely that this is part of it. Some people, like you I suppose, really genuinely think it's not that big of a deal. Some people, presumably like the grandparent of this thread or the subject of the article, think it's by far the most amazing thing they'll ever experience in their life. Why's that so hard to believe?

It seems pretty likely to me that at least some people really will inevitably go down that road from one dose. Maybe not as many as the hardcore Drug Warriors would like us to think, but at least a few. It's an odd blind spot for the hardcore Libertarians - some people just aren't physically capable of coping with it, and no amount of willpower on their parts will change that.
This is an interesting suggestion. We actually do plan on selling the case separately, so you could just buy the "Hacker bundle" and the case and you'd be good to go. You can see the customization we plan to offer over at https://pibox.io - but for the kickstarter we simplified things a bit!
Technically true, but Canada exports more tomatoes to the US than it imports. It is the 5th largest tomato exporter in the world. Here's an article about tomato growing in Canada: https://www.npr.org/sections/thesalt/2016/06/16/473526920/ho...
Yeah this is kind of a big deal, like inflection-point big deal. Teslas are still for the well-to-do, but making infrastructure available may encourage even more investment in non-upper-end EVs.

Cloudflare Tunnels is currently my recommendation for most people. Not only is it free, it will also manage DNS records and HTTPS for you very easily.

My main concern is that when it comes to self-hosting photos and videos, that's against the TOS for Cloudflare's free tier. If enough people start using it I assume they'll crack down. Bandwidth isn't free.
For something like catching a bomber or people that just kidnapped a girl even if this warrant is deemed illegal the cops are probably making a bet that they'll be swimming in better evidence once they nail on a suspect and do regular surveillance.
I'd be very interested to know where the JTAG connector is routed to on the other side... iPodLinux and Rockbox never did figure out some features, and to finally have a real dev kit means that we might finish it!

Actually I was just using my iPod 5.5G with Rockbox on 2021-10-05, doing a demo of iPod clickwheel -> USB -> Mac -> Arduino -> Rotary encoder -> (commercial product)

I wanted to use my old iPod 1G too, but serial-over-FireWire is a little complicated to set up.

Repairing iPods is what got me into embedded systems engineering in the first place! From a cassette player (age 9) to a 32 MB Rio 600 (age 10) to a MiniDisc player (age 11) to a 1st gen iPod (age 12, Feb 2002), then 3rd gen iPod (age 13, Sep 2003). After that, I was repairing friends' iPods, moderating the iPodLinux forum, reading the Bible as Notes, or Shakespeare for English class... good memories.

And I still use an iPod now! With an SSD, and adaptors stashed in the back.

> Honestly, it's really sad to see. I've spoken with countless third year humanities/law students that are completely lost and have no idea what to do as graduation approaches (about 20% of law graduates at my last uni went on to practice law). Oh, and they're crippled with debt (in both Australia and the US).

> In my experience, the worse off the student, the more likely they were to study something with poor career outcomes (one of the worst offenders was the bachelor of business, which was a popular choice for students hoping to escape the lower/middle class but had atrocious outcomes). I chalked this up to fewer educated role models when they were growing up.

Grandparent said these people can't afford to go to school; I don't think what you've said contradicts that.

I don’t think there’s much difference for my cat, except that they know where they can always return for food and a dry place to sleep.

> I use Photoshop for art. Unfortunately, all other desktop software just isn't good

I see this "I've tried one solution and I'm all out of ideas" approach a lot. I used Photoshop for many years. Pixelmator is hands down better than Photoshop in every regard and much cheaper.
There is one problem coming: people fighting over chargers. I was in a Target parking lot with two people fighting over who got to the charger first. Fortunately the mall 5 miles away has a Tesla outlet and a dozen underground charging slots.

What's complicated is that it's not really the drugs, it's the fact that people experience their lives in such a miserable way that oblivion through opiates is a better option.

IMHO this is because of alienation, a loss of community, strong personal bonds, lack of goals.

There's a famous experiment that sums it all up perfectly - the one where animals were given an unlimited supply of cocaine and they took it until they basically starved themselves to death. But when they put the animals in a nice stimulating environment with toys and friends to play with they basically ignored the drug supply.

So yes, providing govt run shooting galleries will stop people from dying and you'll make them slightly less miserable but those people will still live lives that you wouldn't want for your children. They have an illness that needs to be cured.
I can't be the only person who downloaded mp3s from Limewire and uploaded to my iPod. I think a lot of my friends did that too. Were the majority of iPod users already locked in by that point through the iTunes ecosystem? If so, what locked them in (the song purchases)?
Introducing friction to your ability to satiate your vice is the first step in battling addiction.
Jackie Calmes has an assignment for failing political reporters
My recent experience in the U.S. has been that, at least at major hospitals, it's flipped to the opposite extreme, and doctors are so worried about the backlash, that they will leave patients in pain and fail to prescribe analgesics sufficient for post-surgical pain control, if they don't have non-opioid options.

My partner had a post-cancer DIEP flap reconstruction last month at a top cancer center in NYC, and due to the nature of the surgery, couldn't take NSAIDs, which are typically most effective for her (they have blood thinning side effects and were banned for 2 weeks post-surgery to avoid risk of hematomas). So she was left with taking over the counter Tylenol plus prescription opioids. They prescribed opioids 2 days of pills at a time, which required me to constantly drive to pick up new prescriptions (since obviously she couldn't drive), and it felt like some kind of interrogation each time she'd call up and report her current pain levels. As if they assumed by default she was lying or was a drug addict or something, versus someone recovering from major surgery that doesn't heal in 2 days, and furthermore is not allowed to take anything else that's effective (NSAIDs). Hours spent writhing in pain trying to get some pills prescribed and picked up. It only got resolved once the two-week NSAID ban was up. Then she stopped calling about the opioid-based analgesic and just started taking large ibuprofen doses instead. Problem solved, since you can buy as much ibuprofen as you want. But a pretty shit two weeks up until that point.

As a result, I strongly dislike a number of aspects of the anti-opioid backlash. It made our lives worse and caused us more suffering.
If you mail me a letter, and on the back of the letter you write a secret in French, would you claim that I wasn't authorized to turn the paper over and that I wasn't authorized to know French? Maybe don't write secrets on things you mail me or don't get upset when I read them.
Not a dumb question. My process runs from systemd. But the process itself needs to do all sorts of custom stuff, which is baked into it.
I'm sympathetic to that kind of view, but it's not quite as simple as that. It's legal to ask job applicants for their SAT scores (which are directly comparable to IQ tests), but most employers don't.
>You will notice that the person that said: "because it has a well established anticonservative bias", provided no source.

Yes, I did notice that. That is an issue, but wasn't the issue I was talking about.

Maybe you should ask that author for evidence and/or sources for this claim?

>Will you, maybe, provide us with that missing source?

No, I didn't make the claim, and I do not want to make that claim either.

>Source was supplied that confirms that there is no anti conservative bias.

Now that was the issue here I was talking about: user-generated "top stories" on some platform do not confirm/prove anything about the company itself. If facebook actually asserted human editorial control over those top stories, maybe, but they say they don't (except to fight illegal content, and certain kinds of hate speech or misinformation) and so far I have yet to see any evidence they do. All they really have is algorithms boosting content that is already smaller-scale going viral on it's own. So it only tells you something about the users on facebook at best, not the company.

Regen braking is one of the best features of an EV. I wish I could figure out how to make my Bolt default to 'one pedal' mode. I use the brakes less than 10% of normal now, and it helps me leave more space because I want to maximize the energy return by slowing more slowly.
I have heard this many times from many different people that I respect. However, I'm just not experiencing "the joy" after several attempts. Maybe it's just not how my brain is wired.

It's probably not helping that I'm not starting from a greenfield project. Needing to go through and understand other people's code with an out of date Rails and its dependencies have made me spent most of the time on infrastructure. The entire test suite takes 50-60 minutes to complete with a lot of integration tests hitting the database.

Do people allocate a certain amount of time just to upgrade Rails?
It seems like there's an expectation that Rails is
1) used to start quickly with scaffolding (great for hackathons)
2) constantly running app and cared for to not diverge from the latest version

At this point, it's one of those love-hate dysfunctional relationship with Rails for me
Electric cars are also a good fit for rental companies for another reason: Their customers want to make a good first impression on customers, new friends and other individuals they rarely see.

My personal "line" is when links won't work without js and urls aren't written in the location bar. It makes a site quite useless without js. I know that progressive enhancement is supposed to be a thing but I've yet to see it outside of tutorials (browsers not properly supporting PWAs could be part of that, but I doubt it).
> We should really ban advertising of alcohol and prescription drugs too, but there's unfortunately vested interests that make that a hard task.

Around here ads for alcohol has been banned since I don't know when despite having multiple producers, of which at least one classify as large on a national basis.

The last two decades we've also seen laws against tobacco coming into place and - as someone who had friends who smoked since early teenage years or in at least one case even well before that - it is kind of weird to see someone young smoking in public today so the law has obviously worked.
You are totally right.

Absolutely ludicrous comparison. The people dying of opiate overdoses are much younger than cigarette deaths, and the smokers don't have their lives debilitated by their addiction.
Tesla might be "...doing it...", but that doesn't mean the stock price isn't confusing.
obligatory: why not tabs on the side?
I fell into a YouTube hole watching 321 a while ago. I was almost too old for it when it came out, but they had some slick computer stuff: like the Bell labs speech synthesis, and learning to program a TI.

FYI: there's an episode that documents recording the soundtrack. There is ZERO narration, it just cuts to different instruments and vocalists recording their tracks, and the producer and sound mixer working on the balance. It was exceptional in that it didn't spoon-feed, it showed.

I find it hard to model the flow of this stuff and it can be hard to get a sense reading through the product offerings, maybe I can ask and you'll know enough to give me an overview?

Currently I run a server on a digital ocean box I access via a custom domain with a let's encrypt cert (too much detail about this setup is here: https://zalberico.com/essay/2020/06/06/urbit-on-the-cloud.ht...). It'd be cool to have this run on my home Mac Mini and just access it from the web.

What is actually going on to require this? I still need the custom domain, but now that custom domain is routing somewhere else right? Either to some software that's still running on digital ocean that handles this (wireguard?) that I'd have to configure or some service that deals with this? What are the actual pieces that are required for this to work and if you wanted to do it and control it yourself what do you need to know to do it safely?

Any pointers in the right direction/high level explanation would be helpful - there are a lot of unknown unknowns when searching or just services you pay for that abstract it away with some tradeoff in control (at which point I might as well just leave it on digital ocean).

Thanks!
Not sure what you mean by "projected scarcity". A Tesla shareholder will sell their shares if what they get in exchange is worth more, according to their opinion, than the shares. This applies to Musk fans as well, the only difference being that Musk fans tend to value Tesla shares higher than regular investors and therefore will only be willing to sell at a higher price compared to regular investors. Is that "priced in"? Well, yes, the current share price reflects that, but that's exactly the point the OP was making—that Tesla shares are overpriced because Tesla fans systematically overestimate their worth.

The US has never tried hardcore drug enforcement against drug dealers (i.e, execution, as many other countries do). It would categorically not solve drug addiction as a whole but it would likely have some effect.
