Surely nobody was under the impression that detail stops at the nucleic level, right? It's small machines and complex systems the entire way down, ad infinitum. Our ability or inability to render or understand these increasingly small systems does not negate their existence.
I see. Quite a reasonable, detailed explanation, thank you. I didn't notice any visible difference in perceived performance (just using the PC to write code, browse the web and watch videos) when I switched spectre/meltdown mitigations on/off on my old Core 2 Duo PC though. It just always worked perfectly fast.

Meanwhile, I often don't need any network connection (when coding, watching pre-download videos, or running data/number-crunching or build scripts). Can I expect 90s-like efficiency if I disable all the mitigations and hardening stuff?

If you have one screen at 192 dpi, one at 96 dpi, double the resolution of the one at 96 dpi and scale down:

I don't have my laptop with me, so I am not 100% sure. You can also go the other way, but the result is more blurry.

Otherwise, as said in another post, apply tips from ArchLinux wiki. I have also put my experience here: https://vincent.bernat.ch/en/blog/2018-4k-hidpi-dual-screen-... (notably if you want something a bit dynamic with a laptop).
That's what I thought too until I started practicing this. Probably 75% of the time no one comes into the lane. It takes some practice to find the correct gap size.

I agree that level matching is important when the goal is to make accurate subjective quality judgments. This is very well understood in the audio industry.

Rather than microphone quality, the differences between the samples are primarily attributable to microphone position and technique: specifically, being 10 cm from the mic produces something people like better than being 60 cm away. The main issue with the MacBook mic is that it's inconvenient to get close to it.

The advice to get a boom to make it easier to bring an outboard mic into optimal position without strain is excellent and highly practical, IMO.

The one big quality outlier is the Airpod Max sample, which exhibits compression artifacts and rolled off high end (and low end, but that matters less). It is substantially worse than all the other options. (It probably has worse latency, too.)

The iPad Pro sample isn't great either, probably because the mic is off-axis when speaking into it from a natural position. Again, the degradation is primarily a result of suboptimal microphone position and technique rather than component quality.
Unquestionably. Just yesterday I was asked a quick question about something we are working on. I made the mistake of saying that it could be a problem, but I would have to confirm since I did not have the needed information in my head at the time. Once I was able confirm, there was no problem, but that lead to wasting an hour later in the day to explain why it might have been a problem and why it isn't actually a problem.

In asynchronous mode, I would have taken the five minutes before replying to perform that confirmation step and all would have been right with the world. I would have been far more happy that my time wasn't wasted and far more productive in the end. Not to mention that there would be written record of the answer, which is always useful later when the same question arises. So much valuable information is lost in the traditional standup. It is heartbreaking.

I know, it is ultimately my failing that I don't have the full knowledge of the universe stored in memory at all times and often say the wrong things when put on the spot, but then again, a well structured team is designed around the failings of people rather than trying to shoehorn failing people into a fixed structure.

If it were easier to do the thing I want, I'd do it all the time. What I want is to be able to point to either a database with empty tables or an SQL file and fill in the tables correctly with bogus data while respecting all the constraints. I have not found a tool that does that.

It is trivial to write something where a tool takes a spec written in a way the tool understands (but possibly nothing else) and then spew out data without having to worry about, e.g., foreign key relationships.

If I have a choice, I wire together something Perl that does what I want.

Sometimes, I do not have a choice and have to use something like https://www.mockaroo.com/ or https://generatedata.com/ but then I have fiddle with stuff.

The longer the key you are trying to generate, the longer this takes. Randy is trying to generate one that is ridiculously long. He has pointed out to Avi, in an encrypted e mail message, that if every particle of matter in the universe could be used to construct one single cosmic supercomputer, and this computer was put to work trying to break a 4096 bit encryption key, it would take longer than the lifespan of the universe.

"Using today's technology," Avi shot back. "that is true. But what about quantum computers? And what if new mathematical techniques are developed that can simplify the factoring of large numbers?"

"How long do you want these messages to remain secret?" Randy asked, in his last message before leaving San Francisco. "Five years? Ten years? Twenty five years?"

After he got to the hotel this afternoon, Randy decrypted and read Avi's answer. It is still hanging in front of his eyes, like the afterimage of a strobe:

I want them to remain secret for as long as men are capable of evil.*

Attention spans depend heavily on the environment. They're something you do (a habit thing) more than something you have. (Many people are incapable of paying attention for an extended period of time, but this is more of an upper bound to the attention span; their actual attention span in a given situation could easily be less, just like the rest of us.)

I haven't thought about this issue too much but I don't, at a glance, find an issue with saying people lacking inner voices are less conscious (at least in one aspect of consciousness, for all we know they might lack one aspect but have greater consciousness in other aspects). It seems that someone who has a lesser ability to use their consciousness would definitionally be "less conscious". What are your thoughts?

> start by turning off all the 3d/transparency/drop shadow/animation/eye candy they can find. I'm one of them, and about half of my peers do as well.

That’s just one part of what a compositor does. I assume you prefer watching videos without tearing and those are really apparent with Xorg without a compositor — something solved entirely by wayland’s “every frame is perfect”. Even on window managers like sway which has absolutely no animation or eye candy. Android also uses composition even with animations turned off.

I’m not sure we mean the same thing with multiple monitors having different DPI settings. X can’t really handle different screens — it will create a huge framebuffer of all of them together and draw on that. So if you have a high DPI and a “regular” monitor, content will appear right on the regular one, but overly small on the other. If both screens have the same DPI, X can also render at eg. at 2x size.

And thank you for trying it out, X is indeed a cool project that spanned 3 decades. But due to the very major improvements in the underlying hardware, its abstraction is simply not up to date.

Shitty standups are first the fault of the leader, and second the participants. If everyone limps into the meeting and 'phones it in' by repeating common responses "uhh, work orders, reviewing PR's", then of course you'll get a weak result.

Addressing standups as the sole issue completely ignores the holistic factors that influence the outcome. If a team is bored, undercompensated, overworked, undersupervised, then they're going to deliver shitty standups, and those standups will be a waste of time. When the participants are eager to provide a handoff of knowledge and prompt eachother for interchange, then you get the good standups that leave people racing back to their desks to build off of that synergy.

Real economies are made by saving even 8.5% of the cost of an airship's gas. That's real money. Plus, that hydrogen won't escape the vessel over time, so that's a percentage you don't have to keep refilling.
At first I thought of replying with something like

> "Yes, everything is possible with enough engineering time. My point is that you can easily do horizontal integration (lots of simulations, mostly cosmetic, almost no behavior) or vertical integration (lots of behavior, few simulation). Both of those have a small surface. But if you want the two at the same time, your surface begins to grow rapidly. You have to implement N behaviours for M simulations. That's not impossible of course. But it's hard."

but the more I think about it, the more I think it's wrong. It's not hard, it is impossible, depending on your definition of different simulations.

For example, what would the Staff of Westfall be in a virtual coworking space? Could you beat up people with it? That would make sense, although I'm not sure it would be suited to a virtual coworking space. Let's just hope your colleague doesn't play shooters. Would it make you "smarter" in a way, by increasing the speed of your computer for example? That is starting to be a bit weird. You could have a badge, or title to say that you've slain the boss, this could work. But how about all the generic equipment? The consumable? How would you express a mana potion in your coworking space? Stimulants maybe? But what would they do? WoW is a game where you (can) try to make your virtual character stronger than the others players/NPC. But that's not really how real life works. That's not how a virtual coworking space would work. "mana" doesn't even exists in your virtual coworking space.

And if your solution to that is to establish some base rules that all simulations follow (physics, capable of executing code contained in an object), then at this point all simulations start becoming the same.

A good analogy for that: how would you reconcile the world in people's dream and the real world? The more you want to bring things from one to the other, the more they lose their distinction. I think the key point here is that a "simulation" is not a name you give to something, but a bag of behaviours, expectations, things. When you bring those things from one simulation to the other, they start being the same. Thus my initial point, having diverse simulations and bringing objects between them are two opposing wishes.
CDE has some pleasing color options to choose from. The blockiness of the UI is really brutalist but maybe it is a matter of what one is used to. When watching Hollywood movies in the 90's it looked modern, almost sci-fi.

Maybe the windows aesthetic was influenced by hardware limitations of the time: smaller screens, lower resolutions and somewhat blurry CRTs. Windows on a modern larger, higher DPI e very sharp LCD will look small and hard to differentiate smaller details; CDE on a large high DPI screen makes it very easy to differ smaller details and the borders "better communicate" limits.

I like KDE 1.0 appearance. It's got a good balance of influences from CDE, OS/2 and Windows.

This comment is not wrong on any level.

I have worked in many aspects of web development. I know for sure that everything in the process is way too complicated for what it does. Unnecessarily so.

There's no reason to think that infrastructure is the one place where all the complexity is there for good reason.

Have I worked on infrastructure? Yes and no. Depends on what you mean.

I have worked on infrastructure in the sense that I have setup the infrastructure for websites that can handle thousands of concurrent requests, and the infrasturcure I setup is stupidly simple, everyone who sees thinks there must be something missing. But there isn't anything missing. It handles the job much better than the complicated mess that I see in all other companies.

Now, the thing I haven't done is actually setup the infrastructure for a truely distributed system that is horizontally scaled. I do all my scaling vertically because computers are so fast and storage capacity is so large that one server can handle thousands of concurrent users without nearly sweating.

Part of the reason everyone else has a super complicated infrastructure is because they chose bad software technologies to develop their applications, such as, python.

Yea, if your application backend is in python or ruby, you have no choice but to create a complicated infrastructure. Because those languages are so slow, you just cannot scale vertically. That's not an option. You get an explosion of complexity because you also need additional servers to handle stuff that would normally just be part of the application code.

For example, when I program in Go, and I need to cache some data, I just create a map, or something, to cache data in memory. But if you have Ruby, you can't just do that! Since you have 200 application instances running on aws, you want to use something like redis to act like a shared distributed cache. So now your infrastructure has to include information about how the application servers need to communicate with the caching servers.

All of this is unnecessary complication that can go away if you stop what you are doing and just analyze the problem from first principles.

Your massive convoluted infrastrucutre is only there to compensate for the bad decision you made early in the process, which was to use a slow interpreted language to write the backend of your system.

Most of the time the real solution to scaling problem is just writing better (and simpler) code.

I've seen at more than one company, how this complciated infrastructure does nothing to make the application robust because it grinds to a halt when there are about 1000 concurrent users.
