In a sense they are, because with those core counts, you're comparing to Epyc and Xeon, which are similarly very expensive.

What they're really missing is a midrange product for a midrange price. I can't blame them for avoiding the low end, but can't I get anything for less than $2000?
I've stumbled on something called Unihertz Jelly 2 in this thread.

My understanding is that case insensitive filesystems that wish to be portable have a mapping table in the metadata. A quick search showed references to an 'upcase table', although I'm not sure of the accuracy of the source, so I won't link it.

Just because the user changed the system language doesn't mean the system should be expected to change the upcase table though. That operation would need to be very carefully managed; you can't change the rules if there are existing files that would conflict in the new mapping. And you might have symbolic links that matched because of case insensitivity that won't anymore... Pretty tricky.

This was happened on a single place among a select group of people (US diplomats and related, in Cuba). They could have talked to each other about the events as they were happening.

I don't know what actually happened and details overall are scarce. The only thing I know is that ruling out psychological effects is difficult to rule out and the kind of argument you quote above has failed in other instances.
> If the company's gone through a down round, it's very likely they took funding on unfavorable terms (i.e. worse than 1x liquidation preference), which makes it that much less likely your (non-preferred) equity would ever be worth anything

I don't know, but it seems like range estimates assume the best case. Things like driving style, climate control, local vs highway, wind, elevation changes, extra weight in the vehicle, the age of the battery, charging habits... These all can affect range, sometimes significantly.

Range anxiety is, in my opinion, the #1 issue with EVs right now. It will be helped by bigger batteries and more convenient charging.
>> If I were to die from it, I see no advantage to a painless death over a painful death...

Those minutes/hours/days spent experiencing pain do count. You speak as of the after-effects but make it seem that an advantage in living the process itself doesn't count.

That's like saying that we're all going to die anyway and there's no advantage to how we live our lives. So why bother with anything?

I believe you're wrong. It would absolutely exist, either in cloud form, or as a rented screen-time service before that.

Productivity (and other) software has a real economic value, it's not a movie you can skip and lose nothing.
I'm not sure I understand what you're getting at. But if changing the case didn't alter the length, you could do it in-place, without having to allocate memory. I always thought this was the point?
I had in mind a scenario in which a cloud provider would have access to everything but would be disabling things and selling those nodes cheaper (or, rather, sell nodes with extra features for more), while maintaining a uniform fleet of nodes.

I remember hearing a few years back about Intel rolling a special weird Xeon SKU with VNNI/bfloat16 tacked onto a different core architecture that got cancelled, specifically because Facebook backed out of the project. However, I think that was intended to be a publicly-available SKU that just didn't make monetary sense to produce in volume.

There's also the occasional off-roadmap SKUs that eventually wind up on eBay or wherever... but my impression was that these were just ways for Intel to obfuscate whatever special volume deals they were giving certain hyperscalars.
Assuming your Toyotas were hybrids, your carbon footprint would almost certainly have been smaller if you had just continued to drive them instead of buying multiple brand new cars.

What the blog is suggesting only really works when communicating face to face, in person. But if someone asks me if I can work for free, and I simply stare at them, I think the most likely outcome is that they realize they've made a mistake by asking it and back peddle, or say something stupid.

My philosophy is humans are special because I'm human. Other animals are not the same but I'd rather not hurt them without good reason. I'm not sure it's a rational part of me, I suspect a more instinctual part that doesn't like to see an animal suffer.

Sometimes the good reason to hurt an animal is to eat them.

That reminds me of a thought experiment. Suppose you want to accurately measure the average temperature of a company cafeteria. How many thermometers do you need and where do you place them? Do you keep them in fixed locations or move them?

That thought experiment is readily adapted to other spaces, such as a high school gymnasium or the state of Iowa.
Well it’s like “AI” these days: just another word for “software”. “Tech” companies are just companies that don’t act like 1960s-style businesses. Which is why NY can have a “Tech” hub (NY is a fine place without “Tech”). 99% of “tech companies” in NY (and a lot — I think majority — of SF) are retail businesses that may not have a storefront. That’s definitely the case for Berlin too.

There’s also an implication that they will scale faster than linearly.

Personally, I like working for business where actual technology is the differentiating feature, though they don’t always succeed. But money is hardly my main motivator.

the point of micro services is simple: to make technical infrastructure resemble the human organization it is designed to support. that’s it.
There are plenty of Dunkin Donuts stores in walkable places. I have a Dunks across the street from my condo and another one around the corner (and several others several blocks away). (I live in this area, which is VERY walkable: https://www.google.com/maps/@41.8822495,-87.6254941,1122a,35...)

> It is extremely difficult to change a monolith’s technology or language or framework because all components are tightly coupled and dependent on each other. As a result, even relatively small changes can require lengthy development and deployment times.

I disagree with this so much. I have personally worked with Rails application monoliths and Node.js microservices and I can tell you that making changes on the monolith is muliple times easier mostly depending on the code structure. I would take a properly structured monolith any day. This not only includes code/features but also deployments. Adding more services introduces more complexity in the deployment architecture as well.

A good example of this is just by looking at the GitLab codebase https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab, it's a monolith but has good abstractions/structure vs say the Google Microservices Demo app https://github.com/GoogleCloudPlatform/microservices-demo which is not tightly coupled but introduces more complexity from implementation to deployment.

> I love how I can just jump on a bike here and be at a large supermarket in 5 minutes

If you live in a large US city, this can still be very manageable. There are two large grocery stores and a small one as well as a Target and a metro line within a 5 minute walk of my house. Apart from the metro line, we didn't really prioritize the grocery stores, etc when looking for a house. That said, there are many downsides to living in big US cities as well.
Python has str.casefold() for caseless comparisons that handles the example in the OP[1]:

> str.casefold()

> Return a casefolded copy of the string. Casefolded strings may be used for caseless matching.

> Casefolding is similar to lowercasing but more aggressive because it is intended to remove all case distinctions in a string. For example, the German lowercase letter 'ß' is equivalent to "ss". Since it is already lowercase, lower() would do nothing to 'ß'; casefold() converts it to "ss".

> The casefolding algorithm is described in section 3.13 of the Unicode Standard.

It might be advisable to take their point in good faith by considering what they may be saying instead of resorting to mentioning something about US foreign policy.

Based on the definitions I can find of murder in various dictionaries, it seems almost universally defined as an unlawful act. If you choose to go by the commonly-accepted usage of the term, it would not be a murder if the killing is found to be lawful. There are other words, such as homicide, that could be used here [1, 2]. The CPS themselves (in the UK) have a whole page about this distinction.

Science and especially critical products cannot use the tech mantra "Move fast and break things". Clearly looking at the data from Israel - the most vaccinated country in the world - mRNA vaccines are not working as expected.
MRNA is a revolution in bio-tech, but the last place that Hype has a place is in healthcare. The response of the governments and rushing towards a "solution" has created a climate in which critical thinking and peer review processes are replaced by political agendas , and labeling with conspiracy anything that is not "approved".

There is a notion of UTF codepoints that you can index into (see how Python does string indexing), though I generally think that people who whine a lot about string behavior for UTF tend to just not be reaching for the right tools.
You can't without out-of-band information.
No, it's the suburbs that lack economy of scale. The walkable areas contribute far more per acre in taxes than the suburbs. They also require fewer resources to maintain per person because they're physically smaller. The suburbs have such a paucity of "economies of scale" that municipalities around the country have gone into debt to support them.

The reason donuts cost more at your local walkable place is because real estate prices are higher in walkable places, because walkable places are so in-demand that as a nation we've bid the prices of those places to the moon. So we ought to change our zoning rules so that the market can build more of them. That's the whole point of Strong Towns idea.

Stopping a crime in progress is not a punishment. We have different measures to stop crime happening now and to punish a crime that happened in the past. E.g. a punishment for an assault is not death either but you are still entitled to defend yourself from one with deadly force. This is because we, as society, place higher importance on preventing the crime than on punishing the criminal post factum. You are free to disagree and not exercise deadly force or any force at all and submit to the criminals, it's your choice.
At the very least least you need to know which code point clusters are one visual character for stepping the cursor left and right through text in a text editing control.

Which is 99% of the work to also calculate the length in those terms.
Not trying to argue it's OK to subject animals to unnecessary pain (it shouldn't be!), but from a pure logical consistency standpoint, are there many non-sentient animals?

It turns out this isn't actually a sensible thing to do in the presence of East Asian fullwidth characters.
Making X.upper().lower() return X.lower() is doable with an expanded string type that keeps track of more context, such that modifiers don't apply until the final output. In that case, it would be relatively simple to say that with multiple upper and lower calls, only the last survives.

Making 'STRASSE'.lower() return 'straße' requires that the caller have knowledge of the written language in us and a lookup through a language dictionary. IIRC, not all German words with two consecutive 's' es are properly written with an 'ß', and I don't know much about other languages that use that character. Blindly changing any SS to ß on lowercasing isn't what anyone wants, but rarely are strings annotated with the written language they contain, and it gets worse because strings can contain multiple written languages, which is only extremely rarely annotated.
I have to assume you wouldn't counter any termites, roaches, or wasps invading your home.

I think you should be lauding our society's ability to swarm a problem and massively increase efficiency/remove red tape to fulfill a common purpose rather than resting on how things were done before (when things were "normal") as to what is suppose to happen.

We're suppose to be able to do things like this in order to save ourselves. Imagine if COVID was deadlier, had a higher R-naught, etc. Would you still be advocating for "taking it slow"? If hundreds of thousands were dying per day should we still be waiting years for a vaccine?
In many cases yes, it is the result of binning, but the 486 SX (my first comment incorrectly said 386) was an intentionally disabled 486 DX. From memory, you could then purchase a 487, which was actually just a full-fat 486 DX to slot into your co-processor slot as an 'upgrade'!
Delivery I believe, it takes a while to get absorbed from where you inject it and spread around. You can speed this up by exercising the area it was injected into or even a hot shower to increase blood flow.

Set top boxes (the things you use to decode paid tv signal and watch "the [shows] programing guide" ) uses a format called EIT (Event Information Table) which is transfered as an encoded binary file, for which MANY of the titles and tv shows info is capitalized (mostly* due to readability, you know so an L does not look like a 1) I worked on a proyect for such file generation and it is HIGHLY sensitive to the lengt of the data (since it will be encoded to a binary and if you add a single bite to the length of such file the rest of the info turns into garbage) ...
