I have been using one of those for a year or so (Dell Latitude 3190, 4GB, Debian 11), mostly for web and remote access.

Firefox with uBlock and NoScript runs OK, not much difference between this and a proper PC. YouTube on 1080p60 maxxes out all cores, but yt-dlp+vlc barely touches 20% CPU. Similar results with Twitch. Remmina/RDP to a proper workstation works flawlessly. Overall performance when browsing feels much more responsive than Atom Z3735F or RPI3. VSCode is workable, but not ideal. Virtualization (QEMU) is for decorative purposes only.

Battery usually lasts 10-12h, with 4W power draw when idle and 10W at 100% CPU. No thermal throttling so far.
I’m not sure what you mean by “avoiding constraints”, but Arrow’s theorem very much applies to cardinal methods too. Typically these methods (e.g. the Borda count) do not satisfy IIA.

Cardinal methods induce an order, and once a method creates an order, anything said about ordinal methods applies.
truly terrifying!
There's a book about this called `Revolt of the Public`. That's more or less the thesis in a nutshell.

“All over the world, elite institutions from governments to media to academia are losing their authority and monopoly control of information to dynamic amateurs and the broader public. This book, until now only in samizdat (and Kindle) form, has been my #1 handout for the last several years to anyone seeking to understand this unfolding shift in power from hierarchies to networks in the age of the Internet.” --Marc Andreessen
Importing immigrants is the easy way out. Improving schools is a non-starter. At least for most public schools. Instead of focusing on the basics like math and language proficiency we have the stranglehold of the teachers unions and the academic sports complex (where there 80 million dollar high school football stadiums):

Until I heard Visual Studio 2022 was coming out recently, I literally thought Microsoft had ceded the ecosystem in 2019. It's very surprising to hear it's the total opposite. I've been doing C# since .NET 1.0 and I can't imagine why anyone would use VS over Rider. Won't they just have to buy Resharper anyway?
I wonder if there would be a market for a "stricter mode" version of JavaScript that simply does not allow you to use the legacy features that are so quirky.

Eg just disallow for...in to be used at all (but allow for...of)

No iterating over objects except via eg Object.entries

No inheriting objects from other objects (ie no prototypal inheritance)

No var

No anonymous functions (ie only named function declarations or lambda/fat-arrow expressions, to avoid `this` binding gotchas)

Etc

I think the only real big blocker to a thing like this is that it'd need tooling (eg a transpiler that injects error throws at appropriate places), and tooling is another big hairy thing that makes JS less approachable for beginners.
Checking it; meanwhile, you may have also notified this public of the accompanying website you prepared... ;)

I understand where you're coming from.

It's practically impossible for most people, especially in North America, to imagine a world without 2-ton metal things traveling meters away from people at 40 ~ 100 kph. It's literally a piece of the landscape.

Almost everybody you ask is a better-than-average driver, and it's the other idiots on the road who are causing the problems.

But fundamentally, the problem is that when primates design 100 kph 2-ton metal things to zoom around in the millions, controlled by other primates, we're really bad at it.

It's how you make an inevitable killing machine that has the convenient side effect of being good at transporting people safely 299 times out of 300.
I'm talking about a daily service that's a core business process, not a one-off BI analysis. Way, way more than $50.

It's cute - and another example of not counting right, I guess - how many people think everyone is on AWS or some other elastic compute system. If we want to run a job, we have to find computers for it.

There are just a couple that have and the reviews have been lack luster. If framework is trying to get things off the ground I would not expect them to spend a bunch of time going down this rabbit hole.

> Thinking your niche skills are solving the "difficult" problems and other skills are easier is not a good attitude.

This is one of the biggest obstacles I've encountered when hiring people out of big companies and into smaller startups.

At a very big, very established tech company it's easy to focus on your narrow problem and leverage all of the company's infrastructure to get things done. Moreover, you should be leveraging the company's infrastructure and not reinventing the wheel.

Some (though not all) of these people struggle to adapt when they move to another company where all of that infrastructure isn't available. Maybe they never had a chance to learn how to do it. Or maybe they've just been convinced that their previous company's infrastructure was the only correct way to do something. Either way, they get stuck in a position where they don't know how to solve problems without their previous company's infrastructure.

Best case, they admit the gap in their knowledge and work on filling it as fast as possible.

Worst case, they spend years trying to recreate their previous company's big-company infrastructure before they can get started on this new small-company problem that they've been given.
Thank you, that's a great suggestion
I completely agree on getting consent. Always! The only exceptions are when the subject is so far away that you can only tell it's a person, and cannot determine the identity of the person. Besides, it's all too easy to be perceived as being creepy when you're photographing strangers. Don't be that creepy person.
Lambda framed these changes as beneficial to students, for reason XYZ. I remember seeing a lot of student comments saying things like "Is lambda ok??" or "We're adults here, if lambda needs to cut costs they can tell us."

investors are going to get fleeced.

I would be very scared of any partnership with Sierra Space. The new CEO Tom Vice just drove Aerion, supersonic business jets, into liquidation. That was only after forcing a $300m hq move from Las Vegas to Melbourne, FL where he lives.

Prior to Aerion, he pulled the same move at Northrop Grumman Aerospace where he placed a major program in Melbourne. Then he was let go because the company missed a major hiring goal.
What if we had an object massive enough that gravity could not escape? Would it become weightless?
I’m not sure if their pro-lines were an afterthought, rather they weren’t in a good position to strongly differentiate their pro devices.
“Disruption” in the pro space is going to be about performance, Apple did leverage their technologies for better performance and made some choice software acquisitions - but this involved pros switching tools and workflows to realise a moderate speed jump. A more powerful disruption is simply having much faster hardware, which at the time was unavailable - but clearly in development for quite some time.
I think moving forward we should expect the pro lines to have benchmarks that are not just impressive, but custom silicon that makes changing software/workflows a huge advantage. I will definitely be moving over my video workflows for example - the performance gains make the time savings worth it.
I also feel that Adobe has to really pull their finger out now, as software that has been built on Apple’s tech is seeing insane performance jumps.
I hope the next large iMac is at least a little bit above 27", after all, the entry-level one went from 21.5 to 24". A 30" iMac with mini-led and 120Hz would be just too sweet.

Mostly things that are to stay in space, or can't be launched assembled.

The ISS was built after lots of launches of components, they can also build small satellites or other things that stay in space.

That's the current use. But in the far future, space ships or habitats probably. Things that can't hold together under the weight of gravity or areodynamic drag. Like tyco station in the expanse.
Because they have minimal admissions filter and constantly tell students not to give up, to fight imposter syndrome, student testimonials, "this is the toughest thing you'll ever do but it's so worth it."

College is gated by GPA and standardized test scores. You can quibble over the effectiveness and wisdom of this specific gate, but the upside is that mediocre students aren't going to spend a year and $30,000 convincing themselves they're going to major in CS at MIT. At Lambda, students quit their jobs, and take months out of their lives, only to find out 4 months later that programming isn't for them.

21 hours when watching movies. When doing real work, I get a good five hours out of my MacBook Air, whereas I'd get maybe one hour out of my Dell. If you actually have work to do, and you're stuck in the arse end of a coffee shop or airport, then you can still do meaningful work for hours.

This may very well be unpopular, but this is what happens when you pay someone in measures tied directly to share price, or even more directly in shares; they have every incentive to do whatever it takes to juice the share price up. VC money has even more extreme growth expectations.

I think iCIMS is bad for the same reason enterprise software is bad:
"Enterprise software is bad because it separates developers from users. A chief complaint is that it serves the CIO rather than corporate users; ease of use is lost in development."
SpaceX has a commanding lead in space transportation, and it's looking increasingly insurmountable as they continue to scale.

However, the space industry will produce many opportunities, and plenty of companies, including ones that don't yet exist, will have a chance to carve out large, profitable niches.

I look forward to reading "If the earth is a sphere, how was minecraft able to map the entire planet onto a flat surface?"
> Not only is there a ton of inductive evidence,

I'm not sure what "inductive" means here. Does Israel have an extensive history of conducting false flag attacks by attacking US ships and then promptly admitting responsibility and apologizing for it?

> but its been said by survivors themselves.

Survivors who are obviously in no position to have any special information about Israel's motives, so irrelevant.

> It was deliberate, all the deductive evidence points to it, so I find the framing of "even those who believe it was deliberate" to be slightly misleading.

Not at all. Israel was at the time a young country with still relatively inexperienced armed forces, and had several notable friendly fire instances, including attacking a British ship during the Suez war. A deliberate attack is certainly plausible, but far from certain.

You want to talk about misleading? How about your incredibly misleading claim that the Liberty was "just a ww [sic] transport vessel." Yes, it was a transport 25 years earlier. It was not a transport at the time of the attack. Its past history as a transport is entirely irrelevant.

Israel has committed plenty of real crimes. By all means talk about them. You only hurt your credibility by pushing imaginary ones.
> It seems many on this thread did not live through the bad old days of waterfall and .mil standard development. A total nightmare. Scrum and agile are absolutely wonderful in comparison.

I did. Scrum and "agile" are far, far worse, based on what I've seen and experienced. Those "bad old days" were heaven compared to the bizarre approach currently in vogue. I will be very happy when this fad passes as well.

> But where agile really shines is when the problem is poorly understood and the solution not well defined.

That's the problem...people think that you can just use "agile" and not worry about understanding the problem and developing a solid solution. You just start slamming out code and checking back with the customer, wasting huge amounts of time and effort.
> is the ability of technological advancement to do "more and more with less and less until eventually you can do everything with nothing,"

Curious, are No-Code tools an example of this?
I've had to hire for a few developer positions over the past ~6 months, and I was honestly shocked by how many cases of, "Have never coded in my life, but I am enrolled in Bootcamp X, and look to complete the coursework soon!" there were.

Often, you find cases of people who claim to be "software engineers" and list working at the Bootcamp company on their resume. You also get a number of "instructors" who apply for senior roles, which I find interesting.

I guess, overall, I'm not opposed to hiring someone who attended a school like this, I am just not in any way impressed by seeing it on someone's resume. For a junior role, I think it can make sense, but for anything more senior, it's become a bit frustrating to deal with these (and the contractors who pretend like they're interested in full time work until the last second).
In 2001?
I've been using this for a couple months now and really enjoying it. Here's a couple of things I've built with it:

Gummi Bridges, a game for the LDJAM game jam
https://ldjam.com/events/ludum-dare/49/gummi-bridges
There are some rendering issues with the web build, especially in Chrome. Yes, the sim is very unstable but 1) it was for a game jam 2) it was thematic (the theme was "unstable") so I didn't fix it.

Breaklchemy, a breakout+pachinko game that I did to learn the basics:
https://joeld42.itch.io/breaklchemy

I wrote a Tweening library (similar to DOTween but better), that's available to preview devs.

I also have a 3d project that i'm just doing to figure out the 3D rendering and lighting side of it, this is still a lot less-documented but imho extremely powerful.

My background is gamedev in Unity and custom engines, and using Luxe has been a far better experience for me so far to both of those approaches. It's definitely early days and has some rough edges, and for the 3D stuff is still WIP and I'd say you need a pretty good understanding of 3d engine internals to make use of it.

Some of the best things about it:
- Wren's Fibers make stuff like sequencing and AI scripting so much easier than other engines. I did all the behavior for the little blob gummi's in the ldjam game in about 45 minutes.

- Without getting into too many specifics, the way the project is organized is really well thought out. Many, many things can be edited thru the editor or with human-readable text files, and this makes small changes and version control a lot smoother than something like Unity.

- It scales very well. Despite being "easy to use" and beginner friendly (ish), I have tried throwing huge numbers of objects at it and it does very well, even if they are updating in script. The design is very data-oriented and that really shows in performance.

- Strong Cross platform. I can generate and package up builds for web, linux, windows and mac in under a minute total. And I haven't ran into any platform bugs outside of some stuff on web (which is always difficult).

I'm finishing up my current game which has a semi-custom engine, but I'm planning to use Luxe for future projects. It's definitely got some "early adopter" surprises and doesn't have the level of tutorialization and learning resources as something like unity, but I feel like it's solid enough to support small/medium indie game projects and well on the way to be able to support AAA games. Hopefully the momentum will continue!
Any idea about, what the blacked words would be?
As someone who uses VS at work primarily for C# API work (donetcore), would you suggest giving VSCode a try?

I ask because I have heard really good things about it from our UI developers but I have not really heard much for or against it when it come to C# development.
Investors for growth companies are betting on the company's future performance. The more confident they are, and the size the investors predict they will eventually achieve, determine how much investors are willing to pay.

There are enough investors who believe with confidence that Tesla will become big enough to justify the current price, that they buy now.

For example, if Tesla ultimately generates $50 Billion in earnings per year, (current annualized earnings around $5 Billion), and are at $1,000/share, they have a P/E of 20 (which is lower than the S&P 500 overall P/E).

Current annualized unit sales are about 900,000 cars. They'd need to grow that by 10x to get the earnings that would result in a P/E of 20. GM + Ford combined sold > 10,000,000 cars last year, so Tesla would need to get as big as those two combined to justify a $1 Trillion market cap, gross margins notwithstanding...

Lots of other developed countries that don't incentivize suburban development just don't develop roads in lower density areas. Roads with lower LOSes often are just gravel roads or sealed dirt roads instead of leveled and graded concrete the way it is in the US. That's the problem when it comes to affordability here; the actual usage of these low-density roads isn't worth the cost of maintaining them.
Sure, but even if you're technically right, for Word there's a million tutorials and YouTube videos if you get stuck, not to mention that basically every office seems to have "that MS Office person" who seemingly knows every single trick imaginable in Word. Even if Word is more complicated, it's relatively cheap and easy to unblock yourself. I've not used LyX, but I suspect that it doesn't have nearly the same level of domain knowledge in the corporate world, artificially making it harder to learn.

Is that fair? No, not at all, but that just seems to be how it is.
It's only a double standard if you're assuming the people critical of Lambda aren't also critical of selling valueless $200k college educations to checked-out students.
I think you are basically wrong about k8s. It's true that sometimes Netlify or Heroku is easier, but if those are too pricey or not flexible enough, k8s is pretty much the best mainstream app ↔ metal interface.

The doesn't mean it's the best — at home I use something different — but for your average business environment it's the safest choice.
Simple to fix comparing to GDPR in general. Like where there are local laws that overlap and then EU laws that overlap that and then GDPR upon that. It is not like you can just follow GDPR cause then you may break a bunch of other laws.

My complaint is against the people that hold them who then pretend to have an understanding of real security.

How many of those 250 questions are related to proper implementation of cryptography? How about side channel attacks? How about the relative effectiveness of mitigations like ASLR? How about SELinux? Seccomp/eBPF? I really doubt it.

I can bet you though that is has about 20 questions on SQL injection and input sanitization issues from the early 2000's. A big section on how firewalls are going to save you and that WAFs are the best things since sliced bread.

CISSP is a certificate for whiteboard warriors that 9 times out of 10 have zero practical experience and even less theoretical understanding of security.

It might help you land a job as a CISO a some random enterprise company but it's not going to help you successfully defend that company from any credible threat and it's -not- a credible certification for a proper security professional.

The only reason why it helps you land that job is they don't know what they are looking for and have zero ways to evaluate your potential effectiveness or measure your performance (unless you get pwned).

(There is some isolated cases of real professionals being forced to obtain such credentials for the sake of ticking boxes, they are excused)
Respect.

I am a big fan of Esther Hicks, who claims to be possessed by a non-physical community of intelligences that calls itself “Abraham.”

I know. But nearly everything she says is like gold. Listen to a lecture. I don’t think it is a ruse (trying to trick the audience) so much as a creative method. Whatever it takes to create the flow, you know? And posession is one major channel, as it were, for female philosophers throughout history.

E.g., oracle of Delphi, speaking for Apollo. Respect.
Oh, but that's not all! :)

Microsoft had its own Windows-125x codepages, which were not always compatible with ISO ones.
Those are not harder or easier problems, those are different problems.
The problem is how do you know if your just decoded instruction isn't just the operands for another legal instruction?
The big problem is that for much of NA there is no real alternative. In many neighbourhoods built after the introduction of the car, cities didn't even bother to put in sidewalks, such is the assumption that everyone will be driving.

Hmm, thinking about this, you get the day of the week w plus the day number d of the last day of the month. If d=28, then return 4. Otherwise, assuming w=0 is Monday,¹ we'll then calculate wʹ = w - (d - 29). Rebase everything mod 7 and if dʹ ≤ 3 ≤ d, there are 5 Sundays, otherwise there are four.
