Yes. Also, people who know a lot in one area have a tendency to think their 5 minutes of thought on a study in a area they know virtually nothing about is on par with those performing said study. This is especially so on this site. So many people chime in thinking they’ve spotted a fatal flaw without contemplating that those who did the study have almost certainly thought if all the easy potential objections.
Look up the mid-2011 Mac mini models on EveryMac.com and it states that 16GB is supported in 2 x 8GB configurations.
Good points, also to keep in mind that US is massive. State to state differences are presumably wide.
You can enable Clippy lints for `as` casting, and I think some of the common "throwing data away" ones are caught in the standard configuration or just pedantic. https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#as...
I’ve had regular issues with the software. Every few versions of the AP firmware seems to break mDNS. All wired clients in the VLAN will see the multicast packets but none of the wireless clients will. Super frustrating since it breaks Chromecast and airplay. Luckily when I upgrade to a broken firmware it’s easy enough to downgrade to a working version.
Lots of people have played with those graphics in real time. There are some tricks behind it, like they put a whole games worth of asset weight into a tiny demo, but the demos they run are still fully playable.
THey aren't dominating technically though, in engineering-driven markets. They are "dominating" because of likely anticompetitive agreements, inertia, and the like.

Their ad (already a sort of plea/admission of weakness) basically relies on that inertia and structure. I guess it is good they aren't completely dismissive of AMD and Apple+ARM.

The barbarians are at the gate. IBM was once invincible too.

I also should note that ARM is particularly dangerous in EC2/aws. Setting up an ARM instance to try out is really easy compared to an x86 instance. All of a sudden, you realize an ARM platform on Linux is little additional effort from a package standpoint. Then some software maker realized setting up ARM test platforms is near-effortless in CI builds.

Uhoh, the instruction set doesn't matter anymore.
Did they have good heating or air conditioning or medical care? Running water or plumbing or lighting? Travel was also much much harder.
I travel a lot for work and after some setup I have found hertz to be the most efficient. When they’re not efficient, I want to blow a gasket at the line and lack of any urgency from the staff, and another time they canceled my reservation day of without telling me (because they were overbooked) leaving me stranded in an unfamiliar city.

But when it works it does work well. I have the board down to a science: shuttle to hertz, look for my name on board, walk to car directly as indicated by board, drive away with the only human interaction being the person scanning the car as I exit.
as I write this, your post was 13 hours ago. It is now 8:15PM in California and this is still happening.

It could be a mistake, sure. And maybe they need 24 hours to have changes roll through their servers.

Exactly. I’d be really bummed if I started a new job and was expected to run this script. It’s like they’re saying they’ve found and encapsulated the most productive development experience you could ask for and they’re going to shove it down your throat.

You should give your hires the respect they deserve and treat them like professionals letting them use their own tools. Just give them a mac and let them do their thing.

I use my 2011 Mac Mini with 16GB. Been running it that way nearly since the day I bought it. It’s on its 3rd HD, a 120GB SSD. Wikipedia article mentioned it would work with 16GB so I upgraded it as soon as I could.
US life expectancy has started down.

That could be a consequence of absurdly inflated sugar intake (without adequate fiber) causing Metabolic Syndrome that causes a host of different acute, often enough fatal ills.

But persuading Americans to ditch sugar and eat more fat will be a hard sell after so much propaganda against the has spilled.
That type of language is up front and center every time you get a UAC prompt in Windows. Doesn't seem to do much. You'd really need to put the message forward, far more so than is warranted by any probability of actual harm, to get 99% of users to feel anything about it one way or another.
>Does this factor in with basketball, soccer (futbol), tennis, And many other sports?

My understanding is that though most of those sports have a lower rate of head trauma than football or hockey, they still have a far higher rate of head trauma than the general public. To the point where I doubt many professional soccer or basketball players haven't had at least one concussion like event from the sport.

If I were guaranteed $10m for a concussion I'd take that deal in a second. Having a high chance of a concussion for a very low chance of $10m is a different matter.

I only see streamers as smarter as their low chance of millions doesn't have the associated risk of head trauma, though I agree that it's unlikely anybody is picking their long shot based on the potential injury.

edit read your other reply and can sum up or difference in opinions easily.

>I don’t think either selects for higher intelligence

Neither do I, but I think the process for athletes has more of a negative effect on intelligence than streaming does. Purely due to injuries.

It's at https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/medical-misin... but this article is purposefully misunderstanding the statement which is:

"False or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people."

What twitter is banning are statements saying that the vaccine uses a form of the virus that you can shed to people after receiving the vaccine.
Was in the same boat 10 years ago. In my quest to replace AHK on MacOS, Hammerspoon is where I ended up. It's great.
Sounds similar to Jevon's Paradox [1], where consumption rises with increasing energy efficiency.

Also, as transportation gets faster, commutes don't get shorter, people just move farther and farther from their workplace.

I'm sure there are lots of other parallels too.

Sorry this stuck out to me. what would be state of the art in the in memory kv store world then?
Hmmmm, it's considered okay to read the books, but any conclusions you communicate had really better fit the boundaries of a given dominant orthodoxy or your effectiveness will need to be curtailed. That's how it's almost always been, and that's how it's almost always going to be.
No, they are managing the teams patching things and helping with prioritization.

If the stakeholders participating in the call on Monday are not the people working on patching, managing, or prioritizing, then having the call earlier than that is pointless, because those stakeholders are too removed from the situation, and getting that information will detract from getting work done.

It's pretty simple really, having a status or coordination call while the work is being done is roughly analogous to a photo-op by a politician during an emergency. It looks good for the voters, but it takes away resources from the folks who are actually doing the work.
If you just want to put some 3D models on the screen, you could use something like ThreeJS. They have tons of examples and each one has a link to its source code.

https://threejs.org/examples/

If you prefer to do it more "from scratch", it's not terribly difficult to get some textured triangles on the screen using WebGL. There are an incredible amount of resources on OpenGL and WebGL out there. Many focus on getting started by drawing a single, flat-shaded triangle. From there, you can add on more code as needed to get different results - a moving camera, some basic lighting, texturing, etc.
Has their model made accurate predictions on held-out data? That's all that matters.
nvidia is enabling the datacenter market to use data parallelism via hw/sw codesign investments - chips+libs for AI, ETL, SQL, network processing, etc. Those were historically too hard for most devs and hw too edge-case-y (ex: wall st was trying ~15 years ago) so were considered largely CPU-only. With new toolchains, pretty easy, so already the default in AI, and that's been extending deeper into data pipelines.
Probably TMI, but I have a very good sense of smell. I once figured out my coworker was pregnant because she basically smelled the same as a baby's fontanelle (I kept this to myself, I'm not insane).
The worry is that they aren't competitive and the 'big money' is due to inertia which is slowing down.
I am 100% with you. I did some consulting work for a startup that had this kind of thing. “Oh you are having trouble with our dev environment? We have a small script that will get you going.” Script turns out to install shit like Zoom, VS Code, Slack, reconfiguring paths, fucking up my dot files, installing and configuring Docker, etc. It was a mess and there was no reason for most of it and the parts that were needed were already broken.

Even homebrew is a little too opinionated for me. If I could run some specific bits of Mac software on Linux I would never leave Ubuntu. apt is a joy to use by comparison to all this BS.
No, it means this article is misleading.

I am not sure. Half tempted to do the photo diode thing mentioned here. If time permits and my old Tek scope will fire up, maybe.

Software is my gut feel on this. Have seen talk about Big Sur being good, Monterey not so good on the same hardware.

What I have right now seems good. Maybe I am not affected. But, I can hold off on Monterey and see what comes.
It certainly seems that way... in the long run. In the beginning, in 1997, Netflix was a company that sent DVDs by mail. Fast forward, they're an internet video-on-demand company. The writing was on the wall for Blockbuster way back in 1997 but it took over a decade for their model to go bust. The not-so-well known fact is that Blockbuster was already losing money and going bankrupt even before Netflix finished them off.

Similarly, Hertz has declared bankruptcy and the other car rental companies are not far behind. Uber and Lyft are certainly not the cause of their demise in the same way that 1997-era Netflix couldn't be blamed for Blockbuster's demise. But the writing was on the wall, and the writing is certainly on the wall here.

This comment thread on HN from 2008 is quite an interesting read if you see some of the comments denying Blockbuster's precarious position: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=280425
Different sizes doesn't always mean different sizes (I'm not sure if that is completely true using 'dir'): https://superuser.com/questions/1353064/why-does-size-on-dis...
Main takeaway is that upward social mobility in all of these countries is extremely, dangerously high to the point of making society hardly functional at all. It should be extremely hard to get from bottom to the top, or people who are at the top will not care about things in society for the long term - coz why if their children will most probably be poor again anyway? And they are those who actually make decisions.
Genes. Of course people like you don't believe in genes, but it explains most things we see here. It is really hard to make poor people successful even if you give them resources, a top 10% childhood is extremely cheap compared to how much society derives from those, if it was that easy then Governments would already mass produce those.

70 years ago college was only for the elite. Today close to half of young adults go to college. Yet that didn't fix anything.
It definitely been working on for quite some time. I start working on it as a simple setup with just `Brewfile` for brew bundle, then adding custom comments to run grep + xargs to pipe to Aptitude / APK / package manager to install the same package for different platforms.

I find myself constantly either in need of reinstalling the whole OS or setup my environment a lot, hence I need to make the setup flexible and various options to better reduce the time I spent manually install stuffs.
TL;DR, this is quoting from https://help.twitter.com/en/rules-and-policies/medical-misin..., "What is in violation" > "Tweet Label" > last item of point 3:

> False or misleading information regarding the safety or science behind approved or authorized COVID-19 vaccines, such as:

>> [...]

>> False or misleading claims that people who have received the vaccine can spread or shed the virus (or symptoms, or immunity) to unvaccinated people.

Now for a definite correct-me-if-I'm-wrong: I was under the impression that vaccination has no impact on transmissibility, and only protects the vaccinated individual from succumbing to the virus payload?

IF the above is true, this item in the policy is confusingly written at best, and a very unfortunate opportunity for a field day to be had at worst.

The article notes that

> This means Twitter users could now be sanctioned for sharing or discussing the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s (CDC’s) admission that “vaccinated people can still become infected and have the potential to spread the virus to others.”

In any case, here's the page as of ~nowish, with the above point intact:

I can guarantee a company the size of Hertz has the means to track the car via GPS or other means. If they really need to track the car (or me) down, they can find it (us). Having the contact info of the person I'm staying with is completely unnecessary. It's an invasion of privacy of a completely unrelated third party to our agreement.
Even then, you and your sibling could, statistically, share zero genes (you each get 50% from each parent and it is possible you each got a different 50%). Your own parents and children are the closest relatives you have since you are guaranteed to have 50% of your parent’s genes and same with your children.
Tacit knowledge is the difference between making a decision and then acting, vs being free of the need to make a decision and acting right away. As in successfully.

Judgement is exactly the opposite of tacit knowledge.

Wealthy business or person calls cops to report a crime: cops immediately act upon it (usually despite a lack of any legal cause for arrest such as an officer witnessing the commission of a crime or getting an arrest warrant), presuming guilt.

Anyone else calls cops to report a crime: cops will come out to take a report in a few days, at which point they will ... do nothing. Hope you have insurance that covers theft.

I also bought Intel on the dip
- sold some AAPL to do it - and am going along for the ride. But part of my reasoning has less to do with the state of Intel's tech or even their competitive chances in the near term, than that they're an undervalued strategic asset for America in the context of an increasingly warlike China threatening Taiwan.
For rhythm, counting and clapping seems to help, avoiding the complexity of playing the right notes. Playing to a metronome slowly is good practice but my student dislikes it. I suppose rhythm games might help?

For ear training, I’ve read that singing helps, since it associates vocals with pitches. I’ve tried ear training programs and even wrote one, and it’s the sort of thing where you get better by practicing a little a day. Doing a lot of practice at once is just frustrating. I was doing better for a while, but stopped practicing and wouldn’t say my ear is all that good.

Recently I’ve been transcribing music, which probably helps some. It’s sort of like figuring out a crossword puzzle where it takes a few guesses to get the notes right.
I’ve read various studies that believe that our most recent common ancestor lives 2000-4000 years ago.
Considering they were bankrupt and didn't go out of business I think they're pretty aware of their capability to get away with anything they want...
Not sure if it's "IT industry as a whole", or Microsoft, because if I'm trying to do tech support for someone, I definitely want that extra information.
Maybe think of some feature or optimization that would benefit your company, and fund its development by one of the contributors?
Thanks for clarifying that. I was about to go off because the headline is misinformation!
>Is the idea of reduced margins

That is the different between a "manager" and a leader / entrepreneur. Most CEOs are at best half decent managers.

It is funny, the person with the idea of reduced margins, invest to innovate and compete would never have risen to the top of the organisation. For all sort of political reasons and shareholder values. I think this is the number one reason why startup matures to enterprise and fade over a long period of time. Without the vision from founders that make these bold strategic decisions.

As a customer, I completely get that feeling.

As someone who has worked in auto rental (although for Budget Truck), the reality is usually along the lines of rental clerks making slightly above minimum wage, the entire city getting drastically overbooked by corporate, and customers who were due to return (and counted on for availability) not doing so. They have no urgency because it happens on a regular basis and they're the ones getting screamed at all day because of it even though they have no control over it.
This is a deliberately misleading headline!!! One written simply to incite outrage. Twitter will ban users who claim that getting the vaccine MAKES you spread covid, that is, the vaccine itself is a (form of) virus (it was a popular conspiracy theory about a year ago, in case anyone forgot). Not that you can still get infected with covid and then spread it, after getting the vaccine (which is obviously true, and won't get you banned on Twitter). But this is precisely now anyone reading the headline, will understand it.

Bullshit, dangerous, division-promoting website.
How can I make a passing attempt to understand the space when I've already been teaching decentralised tech for 6 years
Someone could fork the Reddit code out there and do it.

It is important to realize Reddit was originally self-sustaining. It generated the revenue it needed largely from the users who used it.

The real struggle, and how Reddit is moderated is a struggle, became an issue when it was sold for future value paid today. This meant Reddit must not only sustain itself, but deliver returns on those investments.

AD Revenue became a big deal, and with that comes the speech struggle we see today.

Or, have Uncle Sam run one. For the people, by the people, and run it to the letter of the law.

I would love to see the latter frankly. Would be a very interesting experiment.
Yeah, probably not the greatest example of a lean operation. But the argument was that it's impossible on current hardware according to GP, which I don't think is true.

In regards to Star Citizen being vapourware, my recommendation would be to take a critical look at their timeline and what state the game is currently in and ask if you could really see it going any quicker. It's a controversial project, but I think calling it vapourware is just the industry being dismissive.

They had to build the team from nothing, now 700 people, and they are building two games not one, both are pretty groundbreaking in features and scope. That considered it is actually moving pretty quickly. They have already delivered a bunch of those groundbreaking technical hurdles to players. Of course the whole thing could implode yet, but it's looking good.

They deliver consistent progress reports and updates to the playable alpha, which has enough content for me and friends to play regularly for fun now. Updates every three months is the schedule, plus any in game content events that get run.
If they did they’d be poisoning their competitors.
I am not sure what to think about those mega corps, my idea is that they exist, but their relationship with their workers is subject to the oversight of governments regulations and the relationship they have with the forming unions, etc.

I think their workers have a month of paid time off? The ability to have sick days without receiving them from coworkers? The ability to access socialised health care when they need it without going bankrupt? Paternity and maternity leave which might be nice or not depending on the union country in this case, for Siemens and VW in Germany I guess they have a lot of time off, as Italian I believe Italy doesn't have a good law on paternity leave, but that's improving afaik

--

I think as a system EU is good for being working class, but to be honest in the past few years I've met some cases where I was not happy, I have lived in Germany for few years and I left because the last company I was working with fired 5 people who were trying to set up a worker's union, and my last boss in Netherlands was too self-centric on the way he built his startup, so on his exit he bought a big villa with swimming pool, a new tesla, but of the marketing guy who grew the company 150% YoY for the last 3 years, backend developers and frontend developers, CS, no one got anything

While a friend's company who exit being sold to a US corp, gave even 3k to people who were interns for less than 6 months, and people working there longer got even bigger perks.

So I think bigger companies are more regulated compared to smaller ones, so I am not worried about them, some smaller ones have owners appear to have a big ego and greed drive, which is something I would like to improve in seeing beforehand
