> There’s no reason to have a Product Manager define and engineers work

The PM isn't supposed to define features in isolation, but crystalize them into consensus between engineers and stakeholders the PM is accountable to.

If your PM isn't your peer, the org is setup wrong. Tech leadership should be helping define this, but people don't know what they don't know and so things end up with PM's becoming de-facto "team leads".
I have also seen a lot of -3, -5, -7. And recently too ;) The others not that much, but not never either.

At least I believe I did, because often times you get that stuff without any hint what it is and then you can make a somewhat educated guess only.

There is still a lot of software out there that doesn't default to unicode but either some of the iso-8859's or some windows code page.

E.g. WordPad in Windows 10 uses the an ANSI code page when saving an .rtf (WordPad default format)[0] or as plain .txt[1]. But fret not if you're on macOS, my TextEdit just saved this when I created a new document and inserted a few ä-s (the TextEdit default is .rtf as well)

>Ohne Titel.rtf: Rich Text Format data, version 1, ANSI, code page 1252

At least .rtf has some embedded metadata specifying the code page of the document and more! Including mixing in some unicode[2].

Why do I mention .rtf? Because there is a lot of .rtf out there, being saved and emailed around each day.

All bets are off for plain text formats that do not come with such useful metadata (except when it's some valid UTF (with BOM)).

There is also a ton of (old) email software/webmailers deployed that do not produce unicode. Some old and/or shitty enough to produce beautiful HTML soup that does not specify any character set at all.
And all kinds of tools that produce text or csv and the like in all kinds of funky encodings that aren't anything unicode and quite often are selected based on the system locale or ANSI code page (on Windows). Or just hardcoded. Or yet better: mixing different encodings in the same file.

Do you want to read the exif metadata your camera embedded into those jpegs it spit out? The standard says everything is 7-bit ASCII, but of course that won't fly, so camera vendors and image editor vendors started using all kinds of encodings. And then there are vendor-specific additional tags. Windows XP's photo editor e.g. managed to smuggle in a creator tag that embeds the name of the user account which created/edited a file and it's using UCS-2/WTF-16, of course!

[0] To be fair, the format was specified long before there was unicode. To be even fairer, it's all 7-bit ASCII with escaped 8-bit whatever-codepage.

[1] There is an "Unicode text file" format option, which, you guessed it, saves it as... maybe WTF-16, maybe UCS-2, maybe UTF-16, not entirely sure, didn't check.

[2] If you need unicode, then the .rtf format lets you embed escaped unicode sequences inside the ANSI code page document :P
I mean, who honestly even wants to 'responsibly' disclose anything like this if they live in the US? The risks of assault rifle toting FBI agents coming for coffee at six AM outweighs any benefit I can think of.
Just to humor you I looked it up - your Xeon W-11955M is the same chip as a consumer 11980HK, which is one of the processors in Anandtech’s benchmark. Same cores, same cache, same clocks, slightly lower TDP limit - the consumer one has a 65W boost configuration. It is the same TGL-H die with (very slight) variations in what feature fuses are blown.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tiger_Lake#List_of_Tiger_Lake_...

So based on Anandtech’s benchmark you can pretty much extrapolate how that is going to go - slightly lower performance and slightly higher efficiency due to TDP limiting clocks a bit, but same cache, same core configuration, etc mean that it’ll be identical to if you went into bios on a 11980HK and set a lower power limit.

By the way the 11980HK is specifically the chip they called out the M1 Max as being a factor-of-6 more power efficient than. And in fact they said exactly what I just said - that limiting TDP will reduce performance on the 11955M and the perf/W gap will close a bit, but the performance gap will get even wider.

> In multi-threaded tests, the 11980HK is clearly allowed to go to much higher power levels than the M1 Max, reaching package power levels of 80W, for 105-110W active wall power, significantly more than what the MacBook Pro here is drawing. The performance levels of the M1 Max are significantly higher than the Intel chip here, due to the much better scalability of the cores. The perf/W differences here are 4-6x in favour of the M1 Max, all whilst posting significantly better performance, meaning the perf/W at ISO-perf would be even higher than this.

What’s your dealie, why so toxic?
Yes, like airbnb. The host delivers and retrieves the vehicle within whatever operating radius they want to offer, so two cities is very unlikely. However, I think there is some kind of variable delivery fee, so as long as you want to pay that and get the owner to agree to set a gigantic radius, it might work.

https://support.turo.com/hc/en-us/articles/203991040-Choosin... says:

> You’re not able to set one location for pickup and a different location for drop off when you book your trip. But once the trip is booked, you can request to change your delivery pickup or drop off location. Once the trip is in progress you can still request to change the drop off location. The new location must be one where the host already offers delivery, or it must be within their custom delivery radius.
...too late to edit, but the comment I was trying to bring attention to [0] has received a response by another founder in re power, and the 15w advertised is actually a 17.5w supply [1], according to the parts list of the DIY edition on the Kickstarter page [2], which is apparently enough to supply everything consistently.

You can’t see the future so no, you didn’t. You believed you were and for the current time horizon you are. Might never move against you in the future, maybe not.

You made a bet, an informed one, but just that, a bet.
M1 max beats intels best CPU (which spoiler, is not their Xeon line) at both single threaded: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...
And multithreaded: https://www.anandtech.com/show/17024/apple-m1-max-performanc...

You go on a diatribe about how it doesn’t compete, but your only source is some proprietary workload that you claim is much faster on your laptop.
Makes sense. I talked about it with a friend of mine, a ex-junky. He said, all people he know from the Methadon-program are dead because they just died on alcohol.
He said, they don't take Heroin because Heroin make addicted, they take Heroin because they needed 'the hammer on the head'.
They switched from Heroin to a more damaging addiction. Why this should not work with less damaging addictions too?
Would you be interested in sharing this tool with the world?
> Edit: specifically, Tailscale uses their own proprietary relay servers, and if you don’t want to use them you can’t use tailscale. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

This is incorrect [0]. You can use your own relay servers [0].

However, Tailscale only uses the relay servers as a last resort. Most of the time, the connection will be established directly between the peers.

If you're able to configure port forwarding on your router as another commenter said, wireguard works well enough. You'll probably be able to also set up some form of dynamic DNS if you don't have a static IP (like no-ip or duckdns, etc). In this case, you don't need Tailscale.

However, there are more and more people who aren't able to do the port-forwarding thing any more, such as those behind CG-NAT. For example, in France and, from what I hear, the UK, this seems to spread. In these cases, Tailscale's NAT traversal techniques may still work – that is, your connection will be directly between your two peers and not through their relays.

Also, of note is that their relays are open source [1], and you can run your own. But if that's the case, you probably don't need Tailscale and can get away with some kind of hub-and-spoke setup.

I've had someone do, in essence, a `terraform destroy`. I don't think we ever learned if it was that, or some other command … just that it was indeed a terraform removal. The plan was not read, of course. Instant incident.

More recently, had a coworker want to run terraform plan, couldn't, because the state file is access controlled, and so he just reset the configuration locally to a blank local state, plan (which wasn't read, again), and then subsequently created a lot of duplicate resources. (Since TF was essentially starting from a blank slate.)

We had an admin interface that used a generic UI; every database table was just a generic CRUD "it's a table, here's the columns & values" to it. The mobile app was an OAuth app, just like any third-party app was. One day, someone on the QA team (why did QA have access to prod, you ask? Good question…) deleted the mobile app's OAuth client from the database. "Why did you do this?" :shrug: "Why do we even have this lever, Kronk?" I suggested at the time we should have kept the delete button, but special cased it to remove the admin privs of anyone who clicked it, since clearly they failed the test…

I can't tell why the copy in the article didn't work? You should be able to move /usr to another partition, no? (I'm not sure I'd want to try that on a live OS … and … if this is the cloud, usually growing the underlying EBS or cloud disk or whatever is pretty easy to do? But I also usually try to keep any "it could grow" data on a separate partition to spare / the pain…) Though I think I'd bind-mount it back in place, not symlink it.

If I get drunk I become happy and will hug my friends and tell them how much I love and appreciate them. Others become aggressive and start picking fights with random people, or beat up their wives, girlfriends, etc. I don't especially enjoy being drunk though; it's alright once in a while, but there's loads of other activities that are on equal footing as far as I'm concerned.

I tried to smoke weed a few times. I didn't just dislike it but downright hated it every single time. I tried a few other drugs, and responses varied from "I don't really like this" to "meh, so this is it, is it?" Never tried heroin, so I can't speak to that specifically.

Point being: individual responses to drugs vary greatly. I wouldn't say I'm "immune" to becoming an addict, but it'll sure take a lot more than for some other people.
Wow! You are very optimistic about this.

I assume you’ll eventually see a $50 “recharge” plus electrical costs marked up 100%.

Or of course, you could just pre-pay and sign up for the $50 program and return it “empty”.
Your best bet is to find an entry level spot in a company like wipro, tcs, accenture, tech mahindra or someone like that. They are big enough that they'll not be totally put off by the visa for a jr person AND they'll take a fresher / jr dev, so long as they can bill that person on-shore rates. Typically, those folks work at f500 companies, so you'll get good experience until you can figure out your next move.

Otherwise, FAANG and the like, have a very high bar. Unless you stand out, why hire you, when they can hire the kid out of MIT, CMU, UCB, Stanford, etc? Unless you've spent the last 6 months doing something awesome (building side projects that are taking off, making meaningful contributions to the linux kernel, etc.) it's going to have to be hard to differentiate yourself.

The only other path I can think of, is find a startup that has money, but is desperate for talent. However, if they'll take you, there is a high likelihood they aren't familiar with immigration, so be very careful.
The problem with heroine is not that it isn’t “clean”. It’s that it consumes the person addicted to it, becomes the sole driver of every waking behavior, like food, only more important. It happens with prescription pain medication obtained legally as well, and with alcohol to a segment of the population with a particular disposition towards it. For a drug that ensnares every fourth person who uses it once, it’s hard to imagine making it more available solving the problem.

How do I answer this?
I remember in the 2016 election Hillary Clinton's VP mentioned in a debate that their administration would make it easier for tech companies to share data with the government for "cybersecurity" and its obvious that what they wanted to do was legalize transfer of surveillance materials from corporations to government. And it's so frustrating because nobody seemed to notice that line and it feels like the public hears that and thinks "cybersecurity good" and doesn't think about it at all. Like if the democrats had come out and said "we're going to expand government surveillance by paying Microsoft and others for your data" it would have been extremely unpopular. But by using obtuse language they can actually claim a win while saying basically the same thing.
I don’t disagree, but that’s an entirely different issue than your original argument, which was to suggest that C++ is not an object oriented language.
First, I just wanted you to expand, I am arguing in good faith. Now I'm interested what you mean by "parade of goalpost-moving" though. My comments in this thread are positive and I don't think I said anything controversial other than defending a sweeping generalization.

Second, he doesn't say anything of substance to backup that specific statement. Would you like to point it out?

We are not communicating with him, his statement from the article was quoted at me and I responded to what I thought of it.
Then say that it's not well established (I agree with that, by the way), or ask to see the sources for this claim. But saying the top stories on fb actually prove anything in this regard is just not a sound argument to make.
It depends on the condition of the clutch. If it’s a newer clutch or in great shape: definitely not once the gear is fully engaged. I can’t drive my petrol cars in forward or reverse at driveway speeds without riding the clutch a bit to stop from going too fast.

> The US is really grappling with diseases of despair, and heroin/fentanyl addition is on of the biggest ones impacting the wellbeing of our society.

This is a false narrative. Tobacco use kills 7-8x more every day, week, and month in the USA. That's a legitimate industry, though, so that's not pushed on the news.

Opiates aren't that big an issue, they're just the one the media tells you to care about.
I mean if people did not make mistakes we would all be writing directly in binary target or assembly. Should you ever delete folders named data -- probably not without knowing what you are deleting. Should you place your production data on a single machine -- definitely not if you know anything about production or complex (file) systems. I mean it could be literally your computer dying on you. You trust your company on that single hard drive not dying really? Or any system bug -- OS/firmware etc? Are you that crazy? Just short S&P long term -- it's less risky.
Thank you for sharing your point of view! I agree with most of what you said, and I was remiss in not quoting the Communist Manifesto myself.

Still, I don't think you can be a liberal capitalist and favor "confiscation of the property of all emigrants", "equal liability of all to work", or even "abolution of property in land", or even an exclusive monopoly on credit, and given that "the means of communication" here presumably means newspapers (as opposed to mails and telegraph companies) I don't see how a liberal could be in favor of that either, since it abolishes freedom of the press; and centralization of the means of transport in the hands of the state eliminates freedom of domestic travel. In countries that have abolished freedom of the press, property in land, freedom of domestic travel, and/or the freedom to emigrate without having all your property confiscated, it has not in fact improved the conditions of the working class; very much the contrary, it has been used to enslave and impoverish them. Even inheritance abolition and heavy income taxes are not clearly compatible with liberalism, but they aren't as central to liberalism as land tenure and the freedoms of the press, travel, and emigration. (Georgists want to abolish land ownership too, but George didn't claim to be a liberal.)

I didn't mean to say that Marx claimed that voluntary exchange worsened the condition of the working class more than feudalism, just that in its capitalist form it still tended to the immiseration of the working class.

As for "prescience," I'm not sure it was a question of prescience; I think that to a great degree the Russian Revolution and the Warsaw Pact simply moved the Overton Window a long way toward Marxist policies. I think capitalist societies adopted Marx's policies not, in many cases, because they would have anyway, but because (a) they were under pressure to do so when the policies were popular, so people wouldn't emigrate to Russia or replace their own governments with Communist ones, and (b) they were under less pressure not to do so when the policies were unpopular, because there were less and less places where you could escape from those policies.

Noam Chomsky talks about this in Manufacturing Consent. Under authoritarian regimes they can tell you about the bad stuff they're doing because you have no choice. In an apparent democracy they have to trick the public in to going along with the bad stuff by hiding what is really happening.

That's not entirely accurate - TikTok does have a JS "pixel" implementation that website owners put on their site, mainly to track conversions. It's true that the use case makes it less popular than a like / share button. I research these JS snippets and how they work, and I can say that without a doubt the TikTok pixel is the most complex and network intensive one. It without doubt collects a lot of information. As more advertisers move to TikTok, i see this pixel implemented in more and more websites.
Yes, you pay in time and effort you have to put in to it. At the end of the day, "time is money" for a business.

I'm assuming the IO would be pretty limited?

I'm looking for a simple DAS/NAS for 5-10 2.5" SSDs to attach either via a couple of 1gbit links, usb 3.(0/1) of a SAS connector (that could connect to a computer with a SAS/SATA controller running in HBA/JBOD mode.) but there doesn't seem to be much out there in the 2.5" space.
This may be a controversial opinion, but I think some level of surveillance can be good for people. If you are convicted for a crime, you should be able to use records to prove your innocence (eg. cell tower logs to show that you were nowhere near the murder and had an alibi). We already have this where traffic cameras can show who was responsible for car crashes.

However, a lot of current surveillance is more about snooping. That's where it crosses the line for me. I guess it comes down to ownership. I should own the text messages and call logs because I have access to them. AT&T can own the cell tower logs because they own the cell towers.
Car rental companies (including Hertz) sold a bunch of cars and that combined with increased cleaning and a return to volume means rental car inventory is very tight at some locations... it's no surprise that they're ordering more cars. These particular cars, maybe a little surprising, but they sold a lot during bankruptcy, so they've got to restock.

You've got a few flawed basis points in your math.

1) that forest isn't near the complexity of most major feature films. It's great, but it's got a ton of instancing, it's not got very complex shaders, it's not got very complex lighting. It's a good benchmark scene, but it's not approaching the level of scenes in most feature films.

2) You're assuming a single render happens per frame. Every scene in a movie is rendered several times. Potentially every single time a new hand touches it, and definitely multiple times as lighters iterate on it. On average I think a single shot must be rendered about 40-50 times or more in a large production. At least 10 times per each major department.

3) Pixar and other studios don't have really extraordinary computers. They're usually run of the mill HP or Dell workstation specced machines with a dual Xeon and tons of RAM.

4) static scenes with diffuse lighting are fast to render. Add in motion and things get tricky. Do you want motion blur in render (as opposed to composited in via motion vectors)? Well now you're sampling multiple frames. What about depth of field? Way more samples to resolve properly. Now add in more lights, and you need more samples per light to resolve a noiseless render.
It was only within the last year that a hybrid CPU/GPU renderer was added to Pixar‘s commercial Renderman.
