Thanks for sharing. I think in my case it's mostly like you and your ex-gf. I just have trouble internalizing the fact that I don't need to think about him while we're working. My boyfriend says he's totally fine sitting there not getting any attention when he knows we are in work mode. He _does_ have a higher requirement than what I was used to for spending quality time with each other in general, but it does not extend to work-time (according to him). It's just that on weekdays, my entire day late into the night could be work-time. I think knowing quality time is important to him is partly what makes me feel this need to pay attention to him, or feed him, or something while he's here for work. But that is a me-problem vs a he-problem.

He regularly tells me that he is fine eating one meal a day or not at all, but I still feel the compulsion to make snacks all the time when he's here. He is a big person and needs way more calories than I do to maintain his desired weight. Even though he says he's fine with not eating I see him shoveling down three times as much food as I normally do when we do eat, and then making more rice or popcorn later to top up. It makes me think "Holy crap, poor guy hasn't eaten all day and now he's starved." Which is silly, because of course he can get up and get his own food while we work if he's hungry.

I also have pets, and do enjoy their company. They are quite high maintenance, but they're cats. They come over and lick my head when they want attention and then go back to napping nearby. I could not handle children and am in awe of those who do.
Don't forget it's not just instruction sets; Intel is the reason we don't have ECC RAM on desktops. Every other high density storage technology has used error correction for a decade or two, but we're still sitting here pretending we can have 512 billion bits of perfect memory sitting around that will never go wrong, because Intel fuse it off on desktop chips. I guess only servers need to be reliable.

AMD supports ECC on their consumer chips, but without Intel support it's never taken off and some motherboards don't support it, or if they do it's not clear in the documentation. I do use ECC RAM on my Threadripper machine and it does work, but I had to look for third party info on whether it would and dig around DMI and EDAC info to convince myself it was really on. It also makes it safer to overclock RAM since you get warnings when you're pushing things too far, before outright failures. And it helps with Rowhammer mitigation.

Apple M1s don't do ECC in the memory controller as far as I can tell, but at least they have a good excuse: you can't sensibly do ECC with 16-bit LPDDR RAM channels. There's no such excuse for 64/72-bit DIMM modules. I do hope we work out a way to make ECC available on mobile/LPDDR architectures in the future, though. Probably with something like in-RAM-die ECC (which for all I know might already be a thing on M1s; we don't have all the details).

> In Poland where I'm from you'd get at least 10 different types of normal white flour in every store, based on how finely they are ground and how pure they are(denoted as "type" from 450 to 2000)

Okay that's impressive. I buy my flour from Shipton Mill online[1] because, as you noted, supermarkets only carry commercial flour with very little variety, if any. Worse even, you don't get much information on the packaging about how coarse/fine it is, many times.

Side note: I'm also not originally from the UK and had also noticed the lack of bakeries, or specialist shops here. Even smaller towns have your typical Tesco/Sainsbury and few if any local baker, butcher, etc. Where I'm from, a neighbourhood without a butcher, bakery, fishmonger, etc would be considered a bit strange. I don't know why but it seems like the assassination of British culture is almost complete. I don't know if it was consumers that drove it or if the big supermarkets imposed it. They've made the local merchant almost extinct. And don't get me started on food culture (most brits I know don't regularly prepare their own meals, and when they do, they're rarely traditional home cooking outside of the typical sunday roast with the family, or christmas dinner. It's a sad loss in a way.

The key problem is that a PR can't do the job because of the CLA-related difficulties described in the original article - the submitter can make the issue for the trivial change but not make a PR so the expectation is that the actual trivial change would have to be done by someone who has already handled the CLA overhead.

I love syncthing as much as the next guy on here, but this article feels very much like "why doesn't this square peg fit my round hole?!" Dropbox (and iCloud) are meant more for cloud file storage than pure device-to-device synce. I couldn't go to a less tech savvy friend and say, "Oh, you use Dropbox for backups? Here, use syncthing instead!" For one, most people don't have multiple computers they want to keep in sync, and even if they do it's unlikely that those multiple computers have overlapping periods of being online, which syncthing will need to keep back ups!

The author's baffling reaction to iCloud and Dropbox's warning just makes my point. Those warnings are super clear to people who use those services for backup - remove this file and it won't be backed up, hence not available elsewhere. That isn't those platforms begging for attention (???). Remove those warnings and see how many normies complain to Apple/Dropbox that they didn't know removing a file from their synced folder meant it wouldn't be synced anymore. This also applies to the bizarre complaint about cloud storage space limits - of course you need storage space on the service if those files have to live elsewhere!
I never watched Mr. Roboto, but that sounds like what I heard it was about... I think the issue may be social status, software gurus aren't viewed the way doctors or lawyers are. They're paid well, but they aren't respected the same way for some reason.

It's probably also an issue of writing - walking the line between realism and cool isn't easy, doubly so if the writers aren't themselves technical people. People are still referencing Mcguyver, but nobody's had the hubris to try and reboot that classic.
People that complain about woke probably are not the target audience anyways
It is strange that this analysis goes into so much detail and yet skips over so much. The spread of democracy has caused a great deal of chaos as well documented by Amy Chua in her book World on Fire. If we are counting on democracy as a foundation for progress and it causes instability then this concept of world order is bound to destroy itself. The more interesting problem is why democracy not only fails to contribute to stabilization but in fact destabilizes nation states.
Do you think the examples i presented are bullshit or do you not think they are ethical problems? Just because Microsoft embraces people working on different operating systems doesn't mean they suddenly started to respect the human rights of their users.

Covid has very little impact on young healthy people, the vaccine appears to make transmission worse, why are we hell bent on forcing it onto everyone and not just the risk groups?

It was designed around a strain of the virus from two years ago. Would you accept a flu jab for the version from two years ago? Why accept these rushed shots with no long term data available?
> The device itself plays recorded instructions and itself conducts diagnostic tests to determine whether or not it should be used. If it can't detect a treatable condition it doesn't just blat you with electricity for the sake of it

To expand on this a bit, defibs will only deliver a shock if they detect VF (ventricular fibrillation) or VT (ventricular tachycardia). These are considered shockable rhythms. Both involve malfunction of the electrical conduction system usually due to lacking oxygenated blood supply to the heart muscle itself.

A shock seeks (usually up to 300 joules depending on patient size) to reset the hearts' rhythm so the body's natural pacemaker (called the SA node, positioned in the top-right of the heart) can kick back in. If there's no shockable rhythm, the defib machines will usually instruct you to continue CPR (chest compressions) and then will ask you to stop after a cycle of 30 so it can re-analyze the rhythm. Otherwise CPR must continue until medics arrive. If the defib detect a normal rhythm (sinus rhythm) then that's good news and means the defib has been effective.

Pad placement is very important if you're administering defib. The pads are positioned so that the depolarization travels approximately down the septum of the heart, to emulate the normal electrical cascade.

Note: there are many types of heart malfunctions that can't be remedied by a defib but that doesn't mean you should do nothing. Always do CPR. Always call the emergency services.

Possibly of interest to HNers: It is a common misconception that a defib can bring a heart back from 'flat-lining' (asystole). Hollywood movies don't help. If there is asystole, medics will usually continue CPR until the rhythm changes whild trying to reverse any underlying causes of the heart failure (e.g. massive hemorrhaging or hypothermia).

It’s not intended to be a secure ID. It’s meant to be the number by which you claim your social security benefits. It’s just warped into this ungodly mess because people use it as a “secure” number.
Uploading isn't legal, but neither is collecting the IPs of people who upload from torrent swarms, so enforcing that is... Uh... Difficult.

> According to today's ruling by the Federal Supreme Court in Lausanne, IP addresses are clearly personal data, which means they fall under the Data Protection Act. Furthermore, in a majority decision, the highest court considers it inadmissible for private companies to secretly research IP addresses. According to today's Federal Court decision, there is no sufficient justification for this. With immediate effect, the company Logistep AG is no longer allowed to collect and pass on data, i.e. it must stop all data processing in the area of copyright.
Ok so curious how do you ensure that when power goes out that your feed does not cause injuries to power company workers. From my basic understanding, there needs to be an automated switch that detects when power goes out and turns off the solar power. How do you accomplish this.
I tried many sync solutions (Syncthing, SparkleShare, Resilio, Mega, Seafile, NextCloud) and I almost always experienced some kind of data corruption.
Syncthing was no exception.
I could not reproduce the problem, so I never made a bug report.

The corruption was something like this:

- I recursively renamed all files from a folder from uppercase to lower case. Suddenly I duplicated files, uppercase and lower case.

- I did not use a device for a long time (a year or so). After switching the old device on, it "recovers" deleted files.

- I put a git repository into a sync folder. It stopped working after a while.

This, however, could be a solved problem by now, as it is 2+ years ago, that I tried syncthing.

Am I the only one with that kind of Problems?
Has the situation improved?
Me also, which is why it threw me immensely when I joined a team where they're somewhat dismissive of pairing.

I realized that I'd been using it as a sort of crutch for a while.

It not only motivated me it drew me out of my shell. It made me more willing to reach out to people i needed coz i was already in a "social mindset". It also made it easier to assess and take risks as a pair.

Whereas alone I become somewhat risk averse and asocial.
One word: support.

Once you advertise a feature, you have to support it. It'd be pretty damn hard for Intel to explain why lower tier i5 and i3 CPUs have a feature that higher tier i7 and i9 SKUs are missing unless you jump through hoops via hardware (e.g. disable E-cores) or software (e.g. making sure to only run your process on P-cores).

If you want to experiment with AVX-512, just get an older CPU. Much less hassle for both Intel and their customers in this particular case.
Both are solutions to sync a folder across multiple devices. The fact that dropbox added a bunch of extra features over the years is irrelevant to most users.
It seems deliberate that they are trying to destroy the control group.
This is really a trash article. Don't even bother reading it.
Bats generally avoid people outdoors.

Your risk grows significantly if you enter their caves etc. Even bat guano is a good source of dangerous pathogens.

If you sleep with your window open, I recommend installation of a screen. Not just against bats, against insects, too. My wife got stung by a hornet when she stepped on it with a bare foot (it was right next to our bed on the floor) and it was a very painful experience. Our next residence is definitely going to include screens.

> just long enough to win the critical initial wave of reviews and benchmarks.

Is the average set of tests by, say, LTT or THG influenced by presence of these instructions? (not being snarky, I really don't know).
Between shenanigans like this and Spectre/Meltdown mitigations giving me a ~20% performance hit [1], I avoid Intel like the plague if I have the choice.

Not really multiplatform though. Opensource clients exists but they could break anytime from some MS changes.
Yeah, AMD Ryzen Framework laptop would be amazing. (Would also have ECC support?)

They'd have to license TB from Intel. I don't know about TB4, but TB3 is royalty-free, just gotta pass a certification.

TB3 or better would be great for eGPUs in general. Not sure I personally would need TB4.

Also, I wonder if Framework would be usable with say Proxmox and macOS (or 'native' Hackintosh?)
If you can’t find common ground with the CTO or the “pet developer” you probably shouldn’t be working there.
> Slots are extremely valuable

Well, the reality that they have to fly empty kind of contradicts this.
Manufacturing Consent makes a really good argument that the news media are complicit in propaganda. It's very dry reading, and repetitive; loads of examples to prove their point.

John Pilger: ""The BBC is and has long been the most refined propaganda service in the world".
It's complicated to do binary caching for various low level reasons. Amongst other things, the generated binary code is specific to the precise location in memory and makes lots of assumptions about the state of the runtime like what classes have been been initialized.

Still, HotSpot has been slowly (too slowly) getting AOT-like optimizations in the form of AppCDS. It doesn't actually store compiled code but a lot of other internal data structures can be stored to disk in native form and just mmapped at startup. It's usually a 30% win or so, which isn't bad.
> Of course, all of these businesses think of themselves and everything they're doing as perfectly legitimate.

That wouldn't be a major issue if privacy authorities actually a) acted on complaints in a timely manner, b) issued the "effective, proportionate and dissuasive" fines that the law requires.

Most importantly, I believe some DPAs have already stated that "legitimate interest" cannot justify online advertisement. Now they "just" need to take a snapshot of the most popular 10000 websites in their country, then start issuing fines.
I mean you can't argue with it. If you want a page like this, you only need to know HTML, FTP, a text editor.

Meanwhile my attempted personal website, 'simply' github pages, also requires you to know about Hugo, which requires a ruby runtime locally; markdown, css, js, Git, Github, Github's two-factor authentication, etc.

I mean it won't win any design awards but basic html for infrequently updated websites is absolutely fine.
That's true, if everyone is willing to use labour cost as the limit of price - otherwise profit would recreate the system of capital domination. It seems like a hard bargain to maintain if a currency substitute like labour vouchers are used.
And if an airline that actually has passengers gets the slots, that’s worthwhile. That Brussels would give unused slots to someone else that lacks passengers too would be a silly thing, the kind of silly thing that’s all too likely too.

I’m not saying it’s a good rule to have at this juncture. But what’s good for Lufthansa is not necessarily good for the world.

Inspire is a better word than force. Or choose.

Burning money to keep competitors away from resources is anti-competitive.
Didn't they turn this on last April for all cards?
Is AVX-512 even useful in benchmarks? I thought it was mostly used for specialized workloads, and was basically useless for end users and gamers.

Creating an issue and getting somebody else to check-in the code for you doesn’t give you the same level of bragging-rights feeling as actually creating a PR and getting merged though, regardless of how trivial a fix it is.

I’m not saying that’s what is driving the OP, but I myself would certainly be driven by that to some extent.
Simple solution: Don't count empty flights towards their minimum. If you fly at less than, say, 20% capacity more than 20% of the time, you should lose slots because you clearly don't need them.
I don't think that anyone who cares about specific CPU features would not know that it shouldn't work and therefore wouldn't risk getting it removed later

Everyone else would not know that this might have a performance impact.
Past the boot, where it used a VGA/EGA/MDA-like font, the terminal font looks remarkably similar to Sun's console font.

I love it!

BTW, if the Amiga came out with a Unix-like OS from the start (such as Coherent), it'd have been a game changer. With some (a lot, really) luck we could be all be running Unixes on different CPUs instead of Windows on x86's...

I also like that cursor keys are closer to where the mouse uses to be (for the right-handed, at least)
That might be true for perl, but I don’t believe that’s true for programming languages in general.

> C++ shepherds you into providing dependencies as header-only libraries.

There’re many C++ libraries provided as DLLs too, like QT. Just because the standard library is mostly header-only, doesn’t mean that’s always a good idea for other libraries.

> Java does not shepherd you into using classes and objects, it pretty much mandates them.

Maybe, but modern C#, despite similar to Java in many regards, doesn’t promote any particular coding style. Classes and objects are working fine, but so is FP or procedural. And there’re decent libraries, both Microsoft’s and third party, implementing reactive and actor approaches.
Also Facebook doesn't sell anyone's info!
Hi Jon Stewart, big fan (wink wink)

I was satisfied with this reaction from Jonah wrt the mailing list and such:

The Web3 stuff is making me more skeptical, but let's see!
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

> The host's screen is just a mirror of what the players will see, and so you can't interact with it, apart from going forwards and back. I think this needs to be communicated better, so I will be also working on improving the UI/UX on that.

Ah, I see. That makes sense, sorry for my noob question =D
Yes! I'm trying to convince junior devs to bother me more.

Some do (did) a lot, and are very efficient as a result, they learn fast and become more autonomous quickly.

Then I feel it's also part of my job to evaluate when the bothering was not needed and to let them find on their own for a while.

After a while, they adjust and ask only good questions.
This is basically how I learned to code except I was building a different idea. Keep going!!!
I think the reason is that the original intention behind HTML was to be a quickly written markup language to present and share research. With minimal styling like text size, paragraphs, some bold or italics for emphasis and images. Anything going beyond that is for commercial rather than academic purposes.
I have been using Syncthing for some time and it has been excellent. The only downside is it actively tries to establish P2P connection when I have a central server with a public IP. Other than that it's great.
Word of warning - I noticed that frequently enough, antivirus alerts from pirated software were true positives. Repackaging warez with a malicious payload and then using a botnet to boost its seed count and place it at the top of listings was apparently lucrative, and I've had to deal with one instance of a user's account and website compromised due to what was most likely an infected keygen.
There's lots of good advice here already but one thing I don't see suggested is whether this might be laying the groundwork to let you go... and that might not be related at all to your ability as an engineer/developer.

It's not uncommon for companies to use "Performance Improvement Plans" as a structure for this. You get set targets that are difficult to reach and when you don't reach them, they conclude you're not a good fit. They're awful.

My advice would be to look out for this. If it starts being mentioned, it's time to start looking for work elsewhere. Try not to buy into the idea you're no good, they never fostered the opportunity for you to be excellent.

I'm sorry to read your experience so far. You seem passionate and willing. While it'd be proactive of you to look at other projects it's a red flag to me your manager would be critical that you didn't think to do that... why would you? They should be setting the standard and it's pretty clear from their comms they're not.

Best of luck.
