I’ve had a lot of trouble reinstalling Windows on similar devices, the worst of which was a 2-in-1 tablet laptop, RCA brand sold at Walmart. I forget the model exactly, but they sold new under $200, maybe even under $100 on sale. I couldn’t find the vendor who assembled them, but I think it was a W101 V or V2, originally shipping with Windows 8/8.1. Whenever I tried to clean install Windows 10, I could get everything to work but the touchscreen driver.

I wish I still had that driver to see why it wouldn’t install, but I’m not sorry I don’t have the tablet, as it was a end user repair job. I tried DoubleDriver[0] to save my Windows 8 driver config, but it wouldn’t work under restore on Windows 10. I tried Snappy Driver Installer Origin[1], and none of the drivers in my driver db worked. I even tried DriverStoreExplorer[2] to manually install from the .cabs and .infs. No luck.

I suspect it had OEM offsets, registry keys, or other customizations which are applied at install time. I eventually had to use the OEM factory reset through the Shift + Restart menu to reinstall Windows 8, then in-place upgrade to Windows 10.

It really makes me wonder what the market forces and actors are doing, such that a poorly integrated, barely functional underpowered laptop, with nonstandard hardware and software, can be sold in big box stores. I suspect that price conscious customers with basic needs get the majority of these, closely followed by gifts for kids or other family/friends.

I usually have great success with these tools, but certain hardware tends to have vendor/integrater modifications to the OEM driver. I didn’t have time to dig into the reasons why in this specific case, but the OEM didn’t even provide a driver/installer for this model for the touchscreen. I know that for some people losing a touchscreen may not be a big deal, but as I was doing the repair as a service, I wanted total restoration of original OEM state, ideally without any unnecessary bloat. Can’t win them all, I guess.

I eventually got there, and it was the long way I knew would work, but it wasn’t the Windows 10 clean install I had hoped for the end user. They were more than happy with the repair and so I choose to be happy with the outcome also, if not with the hoops I had to jump through, which ended up being for naught. All’s well that ends well.

I don't get it. CSS Modules are designed to be combined with global utility classes. Using mainly utility classes is some OOCSS shenanigans we stopped doing literally decades ago. And CSS-in-JS has worse performance because styles aren't compiled to sytlesheets like they're supposed to be, they're applied at runtime. Downloading JS > parsing JS > executing JS > generating stylesheets > injecting stylesheets in to the DOM dynamically > repaint + reflows is how you get poor performance.

CSS is a solved problem and that solution is CSS modules with global utility classes compiled to static stylesheets.

"few dollars"? More like a couple of hundred, some of that on-going and yes, it costs money to shut it down.

Twitter is reputation/persona-centric rather than topic/subforum-centric, it is what you make it to be. I don't really venture outside of fin-Twitter, but I'd bet there are fantastic accounts focused on sharing old hidden treasures.

While not quite this sort of old treasure, take for example twitter.com/TechEmails, I've learned of a bunch of 15-25 year old stories and anecdotes through some of his posts that I wouldn't have otherwise heard of.

I think the framing of this article is super biased. It implies that there is a right to DeFi and that this law would take away that right (it also seems to imply it would do that by accident since legislators couldn't possibly do this on purpose.)

There isn't a right to undermine the nation state and maybe, just maybe, the government is for once waking up and doing a useful thing by nipping this in the bud before it becomes dangerous?

If 5950x was designed for 240W max power like 12900k, then it is likely that the optimizations AMD would have needed to implement in the silicon would have also provided some additional frequency headroom. It's all hypothetical though since all we can do is compare the chips that were actually produced.
As a pre-Internet kid I had the hobby of buying mysterious old computers or videogame consoles I found cheap at bazaars. One day I got a Magnavox Odyssey and a VIC-20 for like 5 bucks, both without accessories besides the power adapter.

The Vic-20 was a joy to tinker around until I got the basics (ha) of it, but the Odyssey, without games, overlays or even controllers, remained a baffling puzzle for many years.
i have always found the microsoft model here understandable but unfortunate.

i'm running stock linux on my gpd pocket 2 and i have never even had to consider whether there is any special hardware (apart from the rotated screen -- that required adding a parameter each to the kernel cmdline and the x11 config).

Reduction in Complement 3C seems to be correlated with protection from Alzheimer's in mice[0]. Good news for Lupus patients (who typically have low 3C3).

"Blocking complement
function by deleting C3 rescues plaque-associated
synapse loss in PS2APP mice and ameliorates
neuron loss and brain atrophy in TauP301S mice,
improving neurophysiological and behavioral measurements. In addition, C3 protein is elevated in AD
patient brains, including at synapses, and levels
and processing of C3 are increased in AD patient
CSF and correlate with tau."

An earlier cohort study[1] of nearly 100k humans said "Low baseline levels of complement C3 were associated with high risk of AD"

Ah, sensible. Generally with the TLB numbers and the memory latency you can get a good idea of the performance by interoplating between the two number for any number of TLB misses (from 0% to 100%).

The M1 Max also has a crazy number of memory channels, even the older M1 has 4 channels, pro has 8 channels, and max has 16. So you can have many more cache misses in flight, this is part of why the m1 max is 20% faster than the 5950x with twice as many cores.
Another fun caveat to this that's extremely poorly documented:

> Then again I don't make violent threats, spread misinformation, use racist language, espouse unpopular political beliefs, mention atrocities committed by the government, attempt to peacefully organize against the government in power, or harass people. I feel free to have these discussions, and I do all the time. What's the problem?

You left a couple use cases for censorship off your list, so I added them back in. I totally agree with you, I don't do any of those things either, so no big deal for the two of us.
But it's not actually how they do it.

Payment is based on COST incurred, not delivery. Or expenditure to a limit regardless of outcome.

For Webb we have this:

"All told, NASA has spent about $9.7 billion on the project, which has been delayed by more than six years in the past decade. That's in stark contrast to estimates for the project when it was approved, when it was meant to cost $1 billion to $3.5 billion and launch sometime between 2007 and 2011, according to the GAO report."

Can I ask who is footing the bill if this was payment as delivery was met? Oh right, because it's not.

The only recent efforts towards fee for service were the HLS award and some of the commercial crew program work. Interestingly, the women heading that up (Kathy - very successful) appears to have been sidelined from directing new space development for someone from old space / old boys network.

We really do need a fresh start - the more I poke at this the worse it looks.
Given the amount of soya Brazil grows and how like 90% goes to animal feed and the amount of rainforest cleared for cattle, I don’t think South American cattle is something admirable. Grass fed is no good if by it means burning down the forest to range cattle and grow soybeans for animals.
> Funny, I'm not censored on any platform. Then again I don't make violent threats, spread misinformation, use racist language, or harass people.

There are a couple of problems with this line of reasoning. Cultural attitudes and mores and standards of decency shift constantly. Something you say today that seems within the bounds of good taste could be taken out of context or deemed racist/harassing later by different people. I trust you are a good citizen online and don't touch controversy, but you can't possibly know how language will evolve. I've seen simple and honest disagreements on Twitter turn into accusations of harassment in real time. The threat of misinformation is even more elusive and mercurial. I remember just a year ago when saying SARS-CoV-2 might have accidentally leaked from a lab was WIDELY considered dangerous information that should be scrubbed from the internet. Now it's at least acceptable to discuss in congress and on legacy media outlets. The "don't be a dick" model of speech regulation is full of traps and loopholes and problems that make it a bad guideline in many circumstances.
Elites are the people I don't like and the more I don't like them the more Elite they are.
Counterpoint to that is when a recruiter initiates contact they are often very coy until they have you on the phone, frequently not even sending a JD until after that first conversation (where this line of questioning usually arises). I get wanting to provide an engaging response but hard to do so until the recruiter has provided sufficient information.
Have tech salaries kept up with 10-20% inflation?
I'm asking because colleagues I've spoken to have seen only marginal increases in pay during the pandemic for the same title.

During this period, inflation has probably been close to 10-20%, especially for items that consume most of our salary (housing, education, insurance...) [1]

With profits at FAAN companies expanding, why haven't salaries increased or at least stayed the same in real terms?

You have the causality reversed.

In covid, the emissions dropped because economic activity slowed (to the tune of 3.4% gdp). The economy didn’t slow because we reduced emissions.

I was nodding along to your recount until your recommendation for a new
extension language. It wasn't your selection of language that rankled so much
as the cavalier manner in which you suggest it. Replacing elisp with, say,
javascript is tantamount to rewriting nearly all of emacs, a product of
40 years (although presumably fewer man-years).
There is a JS library script tag on the site to try to correct the worst widows/orphans and some other typographic defects. It's after body load so as not to slow time to first paint and I don't think all browsers correctly readjust multi-column layout after its corrections/adjustment.

The caniuse statistics for CSS native support for widows/orphans correction is much better today than when I last worked on this CSS file: https://caniuse.com/css-widows-orphans
On conciseness (and possibly scale), isn’t the css “bloat” just being shifted to the html file instead? Has there been sufficient studies in comparing tailwind to say something like:

.MyHeading {color: red; font-weight: bold}
// Left container
<h1 class=“MyHeading”…
// Right container
<h1 class=“MyHeading”…
Huh, that doesn't sound like something I'd want rotting in a drawer! Haven't had any batteries actually explode/burn but saw many that (physically) broke their devices when they bloated.
An additional data point (read: anecdote): I applied for a job at Hashicorp in early July of this year. I have yet to receive any reply, including a "thanks but no thanks"

For reference, I also have a friend who applied there in late 2019; he apparently _did_ get a "thanks but no thanks" email about a month later.

Perhaps all of the company is short-staffed, rather than just engineering.

At least in WoW, I think a big part of it is that there are tons of spammers blasting out ads to escort you through dungeons and raids. It’s hard to find actual groups of normal people with all the noise

Particularly if you’re just one guy applying to random groups, the last few slots get applications from tons of insanely-powerful characters. You can sit there trying to join a group as a new player for hours and not get anywhere unless you apply to mostly-empty groups or start your own with a friend or two

If you don’t know that, it’s easy to think you’ll need to pay for achievements and loot in order to have a shot at getting a group

Hey, so long as I’m mentioning WoW here: That game is still taking in 200 million dollars a year or more, but it’s only getting a small fraction of that reinvested. I think the market is ripe for an actual WoW-killer. Gather a team, make a polished AAA version of WoW, and rake in the dough

I was three years old when I "discovered" mspaint. I apparently taught myself English by looking at the operating system dialogues. And in the next couple of years came across some Visual Basic code and managed to set up Visual Studio after grabbing a pirated copy. Used that for years and never upgraded because couldn't get anything else to work.

I don't know how I jumped the gap between reading text and writing code.

I have very distinct memories from an early age of trying having to need to compare two numbers, no problem. And then comparing three, no problem. Comparing four, no problem either. Soon realizing one can compare any number of numbers but there was an issue comparing (and ultimately sorting) an arbitrary number of numbers. Which lead me to come up with my own silly bubblesort. During that time I remember pondering about concepts like code generation using code etc.

Just sharing some memories I can remember. My point is, probably never too early to introduce your children to computing. As long as they have an intellectual attitude towards it.
Tailwind isn’t css in js. It’s just css. They’ve built endless css mini classes that effectively give you enhanced inline styles. So stuff like hover variations are possible by adding the class directly to your element.

You can use the just in time compiler to generate the classes on the fly rather than importing millions of them in as a style sheet. That’s js, but really it’s just a regex that scrapes things that look like tailwind class names from your html and generates those classes for you.
If registration were free one guy would write a script to register every possible domain and no one would be able to get one without buying it off of him.
I didn't start using emacs until (1) hardware became fast enough to run evil-mode with low keypress latency (because vim uses key sequences rather than chords and I type fast), and (2) Spacemacs. I switched to Spacemacs before there were a neovim, and if it weren't for spacemacs, I would have ended up with neovim instead.

I have not had time to really dig into the code and customize my editor. I installed Spacemacs, some layers, and know just enough to keep the things I am used to there (such as layouts), and that's pretty much it. I really enjoy how Spacemacs organized things, and it has made it much easier to learn.

I still typically use vim for quick-editing config files on remote systems.
In the past when I was at University during the summer breaks I somehow managed to create and publish two indie Xbox 360 games. However I have been working full time now for 8 years and I have never been able to come close to creating something similar to what I did back then. I will either get simply burned out by staying up late working on it (I don't recommend) or come to the conclusion that the it wont be a success and give up on it.

I have been working on something new though and what has been really working well for me is that I will try to spend at least 15-20 minutes a day working on my new game, this usually always results in more time being spent on it. When I finish working on it for the day at a reasonable time I will create a list of very minor and easy tasks and list them, then the next day when I work on the project I will pick that minor thing implement it and see something I'm happy with and then maybe complete another one. Usually If I feel like I will tackle something bigger, if not then I will enjoy the rest of my day.

The game has been coming together nicely so far me and it feels far more sustainable. I'm also doing this more now as a hobby rather than trying to make it a financial success (as there are much easier ways to make money).
Not quite. COVID shut down sectors by infection risk not by carbon intensiveness.
The executive branch is given authority to create rules by Congress.

Whether that allows him to do this specifically is a matter of legal debate, but there are similar powers granted by Congress related to things like immigration and transportation.
I disagree. One of the largest industries right now is creating demand. People being content with what they have is an economic problem. A significant amount of consumption is simply socio-economic signaling and zero-sum games that have little correlation to the finite nature of resources.

There is little the average person truly wants that we cannot provide.
