PCIe (vs USB) is but one of many factors. Which frequency is the wifi on? how busy is the spectrum there? What features does the router support (MIMO, Wifi 6, etc)? I'm happy for you that the difference between wifi and wired is 1 ms, but that experience is far from universal.

Ping is also a singular piece of detail. Ping between two mediums can change by 1 ms but have a huge effect on throughput and jitter? Which affects streaming over the Internet a great deal despite not being so obviously linked.
I'm reminded of the axiom: if you don't pay for the product, then you are the product.

You're right and I think i'm decent on those things, I just don't know if I'm wrong. I go to professional events and I connect well with people and have formed some good professional relationships from there. I just don't know how to get feedback on whether or not I'm doing some of those things, you know? It's really hard to figure that out about myself and people don't tend to mention that stuff.
The Bone Collector
I was introverted at uni and it was difficult to make friends initially. So much so that i stopped leaving my room and became pretty depressed. I felt pretty sad everytime I went to lectures and just sat on my own with no one to chat to. I saw other folks socialising and having a great time but i just couldnt figure out how they got in a position to make friends.

Heading for lunch was also a sad affair as it was pretty much just me and my food watching the world go by.

What helped me was to get involved in societies etc. I found making a couple of friends easier after this (though i was still a little shy around women).

The key was to just be myself, not give a shit about what other people thought of me, and to try and enjoy each and every interaction with another human being. I think if you overthink how other people perceive you, it will make it harder for you to make friends. Simply dont give a shit and voice ur opinions (unless they're extreme and illegal)

Funnily enough, as I got older, I found I much prefer being alone and focusing on my own interests and personal development.

I now cannot be asked to go out socialising at the expense of my own insular interests.

Reason I mention the last point is that as hard and lonely university will seem right now, things will get better for you. You may find,like I did, that people are insufferable wretches best observed from a distance.
I can see this useful for sites that collect a lot of data (Banks, Social Media, etc.) but for buying shoes from a shopify website, I really don't give a shit. If anything, GDPR has been a nuissance to me as a consumer. Being 100% honest. Cookier banners are so ubiquitious that we've all gotten used to just accepting them and moving on.

This is the problem with EU regulation. Good intentions, bad implementations and unforeseen consequences. In fact this goes so far into the reasons why EU cannot harbor a growing startup scene or make rockets. I am not against regulations but if you lay a landmind in front of every endeavor in the form of regulations, it bears down on people that want to disrupt existing and overweight companies that can afford to abide by regulations. I've talked to many Europeans and they resonate with the same sentiments.

I own a small business and I've gone through the process GDPR compliance. It is not too bad but there is a reason why there are upteen number of GDPR compliance consulting firms and checklist makers out there.

Ugh. I've been using dotnet core on Linux since it was introduced. While it mostly works fine, I always had the feeling that Linux (and mac probably also) is a second class citizen. They care about Linux compatibility inasmuch as it allows you to build the application on a Linux-powered CI server and deploy to another Linux server. Developing outside of Windows? most of their tools are not available or have a greatly diminished feature set (for example, you can take a memory dump of a running dotnet application, but can't really inspect it without a Windows VM).

If not for JetBrains Rider, dotnet development on Linux would be close to impossible IMHO.

When looking for my next gig I'll probably be switching to something else.
It depends a lot on the car and the engine.

If you want a high-performance engine that meets modern emissions requirements, you're probably going to be looking at EFI and turbochargers. Changing the fuel injection maps on a modern car requires something akin to rooting/flashing an Android.
Yeah, the hop to the internet exchange point is the main issue with DSL or cable. I live in a major city and it takes around 10ms to hit the internet exchange point (using Ethernet the LAN latency is neglegible) and thus I get a minimum of 20ms or so just connecting to a server hosted by someone in the same neighborhood. I've actually tried this experiment with some of my nearby friends - pinging each other's public IPs on DSL or cable takes around 20ms.

With fiber, you can hit the exchange point in 1-2ms. So I suppose this tool would work well fine over fiber assuming everyone is in the same city. I've even heard of people successfully using protocols like Dante (professional audio over IP intended for LAN) over gig fiber lines as well.

From my experience, a couple milliseconds of latency is fine for keyboard or guitar processing, but anything more than that starts to mess me up. There are artists who insist on using a full analog chain for monitoring for that reason, and refuse to use digital mixers or digital wireless systems that can add several ms of latency.
Nobody thinks we can't survive 2 degrees of heat. After all typical climate fluctuations of more than 100 degrees are common in human experience. What you're describing is a strawman argument.

The actual concern is 2 degrees of average heat change and how that will change the web of systems that we rely on for current human civilization. Break enough subsystems in there and the human experience becomes dramatically different.
Ok, somebody being competitive on twitter means that person is mentally unstable?

If everybody that gets on fight on twitter or is sending tweets that shouldn't be sent is considers 'unstable' then most people on twitter are unstable.

In a .NET Rocks episode there is a guest that recalls his team using him as means to get information, because he was an external contractor, and it was easier for him to get the required information from another team, than having both teams talking directly.
It is a trade-off which is not always acknowledged. It is not something that has 0 potentially negative consequences. And the competition and innovation that is stifled is often invisible (hard to see what could have been).

If you had less intervention with respect to privacy would there be more dynamic market-driven initiatives to fill the gaps? Would there be more incentive to develop technology that would be effective for privacy? I don't know.

Regulation is just hard because reality is complex and dynamic and regulation is often complex but not very dynamic.

> Please mention a low power chip that AMD makes that's competitive with an apple chip at similar power levels.

It doesn't exist.

That's why people keep inventing hypothetical AMD 5nm parts to compete with the M1 as if it somehow scores points for AMD to win with an imaginary chip against a real one.

The irony of this is that the same AMD fanboys were (legitimately) dismissive of similar arguments from Intel fanboys for years prior to this. "If Intel was on 7nm Zen wouldn't be able to compete!" Maybe, but it isn't, and the only reasonable comparisons are with silicon that actually exists.
That makes sense. Guess they think Intelligent Design or whatever they call it now is due for another challenge since the SCOTUS leans more conservative.
God forbid you get sick, injured, have a family obligation (marriage, funeral, etc), doctor's appointment, etc. If your management is so incredibly inflexible that you get punished for having events outside your control that impact your availability, then that's a problem with management. If you see parents having responsibilities as the problem, then your team/management is toxic. They want you to stay socially dependent on the team, to the point that you cannot have a life on or off the clock. Find another job, that's a sickness.

Or, stick it to the parents: go out, meet somebody, have a baby of your own. If that sounds impossible, the problem is almost certainly how you're spending your time. Probably a work/life balance issue.
I'm very interested in this! Can you say how this compares to something like https://jamkazam.com? One of my issues with JK is that it seems to require all participants to be members, and to pay for relatively pricy memberships to partcipate. I'm sympathetic that nothing is free and I'm willing to pay for a good service, but I'd love to have a model where one person could pay for a session that others could join (with video) for free.

That said, I'm not sure if you plan to start charging.

Generally yeah, but as mentioned in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28969338 Microsoft also actively refrain from adding features to the dotnet sdk in order to have less people to use them, VSCode included, in order to stuff the same features into VS.
The cost of GDPR is mostly related to technical debt, not company size. A small company with little debt will not face any issues with GDPR. Google just bet on they themselves having much less technical debt than the other giants.
I'm honestly a bit surprised that people are still using Visual Studio (sans Code) these days. It was a decent IDE ten years ago, but nowadays I'd put it far down the list (not least because it means that you have to develop primarily on Windows which is... uhm... yeah, no thanks). Is the VS experience much better when you are using C# instead of C++?
Pylance being proprietary is so disappointing, given it's the spiritual successor to Python Tools for Visual Studio (PTVS). PTVS was an open source Visual Studio extension, which later was ported to VSCode.

> It is so easy to paint social media as the bad guy, when meanwhile it has been responsible for some of the most transformative global popular movements in recent times. E.g. Arab Spring

No. Oppression, absence of freedom of speech and basic human rights, and the people who decided to not put up with this crap anymore is what was responsible for the Arab Spring.

Saying social media was responsible for that is like saying the football is what helped the team to win the superbowl and not the team effort (ok ok, it may have been the case in 2015 ha!)

Cookie banners has nothing to do with GDPR.

> I own a small business and I've gone through the process GDPR compliance. It is not too bad but there is a reason why there are upteen number of GDPR compliance consulting firms and checklist makers out there.

The reason is that GDPR compliance gets more expensive the more technical debt you have. For big enough companies with bad engineering practices it can costs hundreds of millions of dollars. For a small business with a straightforward product they likely are all but compliant without even trying.

> What should have happened is a complete solution to privacy in the browser instead of playing cat and mouse games with businesses that will find loop holes.

GDPR has nothing to do with browsers, it has to do with forcing companies to ask for and track data they keep on you no matter where it comes from. It applies to apps, to hiring interviews, to storing transaction data when you buy groceries etc. What you are talking about is a completely different issue.
The only parts of the C/C++ extension that are proprietary are parts like intellisense, which were lifted wholesale out of visual studio. Which is to say, they were never open source to begin with. All the work the cpptools extension team has done has been open source.

Tests tests test. Did I say tests? Every kind of tests.

When you build a new feature, IMO, its ok if 80% of your time is spent writing a test for a first pass crappy solution. (Good) tests make it easier to refactor.

Dealing with legacy code?

The art is knowing HOW to introduce tests. Outside in is the best way IMO. Start with end to end tests, testing the system at well-defined stable interfaces like external APIs. Then carve up the most important internals first.

Also you always have tech debt FWIW. There is no time where it’s profitable to have zero tech debt anywhere. We have to prioritize our investments in the highest priority areas of our code.
You don't have to know it's there, you just have to understand the problem space enough to find it. You depose an engineer and you ask "do you store this information?", and they have to answer. Then you can ask "where do you store it?", and so on. There's complexity about some questions being procedurally allowed, etc... But that's how it works.

Fundamentally this process isn't any different than reverse engineering. If a good hacker can figure out how something works based on knowledge of the problem domain and technology in use, then those same questions can be answered in a deposition and provided via discovery, by definition.

> I'm not sure fining a company billions of dollars and putting executives in jail is the outcome anyone really wants if a 17 year old uses Tinder.

Honestly, why not? If society deems that illegal, and the enablers are responsible, then so be it.

If said company can’t figure out how to profit while preventing this then why do I care? Lot’s of businesses aren’t viable without illegal practices.

I’m doubtful this will be the actual fallout, but it wouldn’t bother me at all if it was.

If your businesses success relies on scale, but that scale in turn presents insurmountable issues, then congratulations, you found an unsustainable business model. No big deal.

Advertising is lying. How can you trust anything the sellers of products say? They will obviously attempt to emphasize the pros and minimize the cons. There's a massive conflict of interest in advertising that can never be resolved. I want real information from real people who actually use the products, not what the seller paid some ad company to tell me. I usually obtain this information by directly asking the humans in question, they usually don't come to me unsolicited like the ads do.

> people will end up driving more because of the lower marginal costs.

I suspect places will have to move to either London-style congestion charges or milage-based road taxes to offset this. With an admittedly big loss of privacy, you could even price at the level of individual roads and put Uber-style surge pricing on the roads themselves.

Another possibility is that the "markets in everything" self-driving companies win and cars become a capital asset that can work itself. No reason to drive your car around uselessly if you can rent it out instead, and in theory this could result in fewer cars. However I'm skeptical.
Trump's Social Media Platform and the Affero General Public License of Mastodon
All these conversations are lacking a discussion about the atmosphere on Arrakis. We have only hints about the composition and density of the atmosphere. We can assume that the atmosphere isn't toxic and contains quantities of oxygen and carbon dioxide that make breathing both possible and comfortable. We can be sure it doesn't crush humans or explode their lungs.

We also don't know the gravity of the planet. It might be 1.2g or 0.85g.

So we don't know how much lift is generated per stroke, how much lift is required, or what the speed of sound actually is on the planet.

I'd guess that 30-40% of the original electrical energy gets stored as chemical energy. If the electricity originally comes from nuclear power or renewables, the life cycle carbon footprint is far lower than for fossil fuel. It's still not exactly carbon neutral because even nuclear power has a non-zero CO2 footprint, but it's tiny compared to the status quo.

Since many military aircraft are going to need chemical fuels indefinitely, it makes sense that the Air Force is interested in electricity-to-fuels. There was an analogous surge in researching coal-to-liquids in the 1970s after the oil price shocks. Liquid fuels are going to have at least military demand for a very long time, and planners are interested in mitigating supply threats before they become supply emergencies.
You could use Rider. It performs much better than Visual Studio anyway. Visual Studio has fallen quite far behind at this point.
CPLEX is one of the best MIP (mixed integer) solvers out there. They also have a "CP" constraint programming solver as well. If I needed to solve that kind of problem, I'd just call out to the CPLEX API. As much as I love things like Prolog, it's always been easier to me to have an application mostly be written in a popular language (C#, Python, Java..etc) using more traditional programming techniques (OO) and call out to a specific solver for just the tiny piece I need that does the optimization. If there is a Prolog out there that works for your problem set, you can use the same strategy, but you'd have to learn logic programming which is challenging in my eyes (and likely those of many). Prolog is seriously cool though.
Poverty wages, child labor, ignoring emissions regulations, evading taxes, etc are all ways a company could improve margins and charge lower prices. That doesn't mean you want to legalize all of that just to compete in the global market.
Yep, me and wife have an arrangement currently where I do all childcare outside of preschool (i.e. staying home when sick, drop off and pickup at 4, days the school is closed etc) which turns out to be quite often. I also take more of the household chores, maybe two thirds. In the time that's left I work on my own project. It's still a ton of work, but much more manageable than when we both worked full-time.
What kind of tricks?
> Maybe what we're seeing is not MS being awful, but executing a pretty normal open/premium type strategy

There is a difference of degree, if not kind.

It's one thing for a smaller vendor to offer an 80% solution for free, and 20% enterprise features where there is competition to protect the market and the users.

It's quite another for a monopoly-level player that, for example, owns GitHub, to flex and threaten the market.

I'd support some serious anti-trust looks at what's going on across all of BigTech. MisterSofty is not alone in needing a review.
And this ends up breaking the site for adults as well.

I have a YouTube playlist of videos I'd like to show my kids. It turns out that YouTube will not allow videos marked as "intended for children" to be added to a playlist, even by an account that belongs to a adult. So the only videos I can put in that playlist for my kids are ones YouTube thinks are NOT for kids.
Individual people can be trusted, but trusting a corporation is a contradiction in terms. The leadership of any team can be replaced pretty quickly and goals can pivot on a dime. Or, like with Sun, the company may be acquired by another with completely different objectives.

If you want commitments from a company, get it in writing (in this case in the license).

I also don't get this part:

> They won’t develop cool features like these any more and most frighteningly, they won’t accept pull requests or community contributions which could add these features back into the SDK - and that is a bleak outlook for the open source community in .NET.

What stops someone from forking the SDK and adding this functionality? Or are there non-open-source components this all relies on?

Global climate change is not something one person or family can affect, so I don't understand what form of self-interest driven action could impact it.

Yes I have the same suspicion. It is way harder to maintain a certain volume of DDOS, and some people use services to keep them online during a DDOS. Spending your time on a single action, encrypting, and keeping a company hostage without further energy I think is more, what's the word, efficient for those bad actors.
My rant about CSS. There is nothing like "compiler error messages" for CSS. The best we have is "inspect" in browsers. It shows the final state of browser has done, not the intermediate "why" or "how" part of it. For example, we will know that an image overflows a div, but browser won't tell why.
