>that still doesn't solve efficient input

The phone was an input downgrade from keyboard+mouse and VR as an even more severe downgrade.

Anyone talking about VR, especially in the context of work, without mentioning the glaring lack of input bandwidth is engaging in marketing.

Yea, sure would be bad to be part of a (checks notes) publicly traded company like Nvidia, subject to the whims of the capital markets.

Getting stuck to 1 Gbps is somewhat crazy, as even the slowest laptop and PC M.2 SSDs can do 10-20 Gbps easy. Fastest ones 50 Gbps+.

But I guess most people don't transfer files in their local networks anymore and use their network purely for internet access.

It's kind of chicken and egg. It's not worth buying a 10G switch when all or nearly all of your devices are gigabit and it's not worth buying 10G cards for any device when you have a gigabit switch.

What you need for the transition is for premium brands to start pushing 10G ports as a feature, e.g. Apple needs to add it to Macbooks and the Mini and start using it to bludgeon competitors who don't have it. Then once their customers have several 10G devices around, they buy a 10G switch and start demanding that every new device have it. At which point the volume gets high enough for the price to come down.
I guess I can see a push notification for a very slow cooking process, but most of the time if you use a smart device in a kitchen frequently, you're going to get things like uncooked chicken juices on it. Not ideal for a personal phone.
I'm sorry, but I don't believe that any, much less the vast majority of democratic countries are run by people who have a decent appreciation of the rule of law.

There are certainly plenty of states that cannot afford these programs, or that may choose to spend their resources in other ways, but the big powers are more than willing to assist when their interests align. I think the case of Denmark shows that it's very difficult to anticipate when interests will align, because we sometimes don't even know the identities of the people whose interests matter.

I'm kind of a perpetual skeptic and I probably would have been one of those that dismissed the internet as a toy in its early days had I been old enough to have an opinion.

That being said, by being a skeptic, I think I'm right more than I'm wrong. For every "internet" that I've called wrong, there's a "3D TV" or "Segway" that's I've correctly predicted would fail to live up to the hype.

These revolutionary technologies that shift our daily life come along far less often than people like to predict. Even if the technology is superior to what most people are using there are still a ton of factors standing in the way of mass adoption (see VHS vs Betamax). You know that Tolstoy quote "All happy families are alike, but every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way", I kind of feel that way about new technologies. There are a million reasons technologies can fail to catch on, but they have to walk a very narrow path to succeed.

So, as one of those type of people you're asking about, I guess my reaction would be "oh well". I'm right more than I'm wrong and the downsides of a false negative and less than the downsides of a false positive. If thought the internet was a load of crap and I hop on the band wagon a few years late, oh well, it's not like I've missed out on it for ever. On the other hand, if I bought a 3D TV when they first came out, I'd now be stuck with an overpriced TV with a feature that has almost no support.
I like Traefik, not sure if it "as light", but it works well for me in the personal setting, I use it just by adding some lines to my docker-compose file, no further configuration required. It sits in front of several services and automatically uses Let's Encrypt for certs.
Oh, I fully agree that the poor more commonly commit and are victims of petty theft. What I disagree with is that hunger would even be in the top 10 drivers. Greed, addiction, antisocial disposition, lack of opportunity costs, are all far more significant. The idea that your typical thief is usually trying to put bread on the table is some sort of perverted noble savage fantasy.
No? Asking for code nav and you get three answers. Asking for this and you get crickets. In the 90s I worked at a place where we embedded TCL into all the apps, and rolled our own templating systems. I had to do a little string stuff in C after few years of go, and it sucked. Ugg. buf[len] = ‘\0’;

Using go, I thought I was getting back to low level stuff but this C experience made me appreciate strings in Go. Web servers in C are crazy bad idea, especially if they are spitting out html. Lisp would be better. Node would be better. Go would be better.

I always had audio glitches on Macos <10.15 and didn't manage to get it running with Macos >10.15 due to x64.

The native Mac version is by far not sufficient unfortunately.
My hunch is that for most consumers, there's just no point in getting anything above 1 GbE today, even for their central switch. 1 Gbit/s is more than enough for 5x 4K video streams from their NAS, plus a very fast Internet connection at burst speed. What more do most people need on a regular basis?

>"Sources lacking in credibility make claim without evidence"

Sure, if you like, there is no need to debunk the claims. Let's not bicker and argue about that, as I certainly have no idea. I still, perhaps pedantically, would claim that "no need to debunk" is different from "has been debunked".

Regardless, the breathtaking size of this isolated bubble of disinformation is worthy of note.

Four bubbles I see in the original comment: Alex Jones, Joe Rogan, people who believe false things about Rittenhouse and then there is...

It's like saying a typical American breakfast is orange juice, cereal, and an aircraft carrier.

Maybe it's true! But it sure raises a lot of questions, and something funny is going on if people don't even agree that one item in the list stands out.

Something even funnier is going on if people get mad at you for noticing. People who make fun of conspiracy theories. Remember that's where this started, a comment on how prone people are to believing in conspiracies.

You can't trust the establishment! Still, big conspiracy.

It's very clear in the interview that knowledge of chess isn't being tested. The chess-related exchange is literally about 30s and it's clearly part of the segment where the problem is explained, not the part where the candidate needs to demonstrate their abilities.

As for why, by relating the question to something in the real world (like chess or GPS) a few things are accomplished:

- It gives the candidate an ambiguous situation that they have to navigate away from (e.g. by asking clarifying questions).

- It requires the candidate to map a real-world situation to an algorithmic solution, rather than just being told "implement a graph traversal" or "use dynamic programming to solve this".

- It makes the problem more interesting.

I know exactly what it's like to be on the other side because I was there too not so long ago, solving interviews just like this. I found questions like this much nicer than more obscure questions like Gray code.

I think you're just fixated on this idea that the interview is there to test what you know and not knowing something is a fail but that's not really how it works. What a candidate knows is next to nothing to me, what's most important is how they go about solving the problem. Do they ask questions? Do they consider alternative solutions before digging in? Is their code somewhat readable?

Aside from the basics of CS, I really don't care what they know and that's made reasonably clear before the interview (as it was to me when I was interviewed).

> capitalism is by definition a redistribution

There is nothing to redistribute when we all have nothing - and that is our initial state. Then through capitalism value is created. Part of said value is retained by its creator - thus providing the motivation to create it in the first place. But the most value is distributed in the society (through regular consuming of goods and services), raising its level and thus pulling more people out of poverty.

Just check out how dramatically poverty was reduced when Eastern European states switched from communism to capitalism.
I got an LG CX tv and never hooked it up to the internet. It acts as a (very pretty) yet dumb tv like the old days.

An Nvidia shield handles all the streaming, kodi handles local files etc, all the media that I could possibly need.

4k is handled by default out of the box.

Surround sound is handled by an AV receiver. (Atmos surround is available if I wish to further upgrade the 7.1 speakers).

It can be done. Granted, it’s not cheap and installing all these devices can be painful, but still.

I think this is quite a serious issue which has been open for almost a year. I don't understand why there hasn't been a reaction from the npm developers on the issue (as far as I can see). npm 8.3.1 (the current version) is still vulnerable.

It might not be directly exploitable but it can leave you open for all kinds of security and/or stability issues. It is also a regression from npm 6.

I similar avoid purchasing devices that I can’t have full ownership of.

I’ve often thought about starting a hardware company that provides all the source code, schematics, bill of materials with the sale of a product. This is a dream and a desire I have for the things that I do buy.

For example, I have several digital cinema film cameras that I do not plan to upgrade or sell. Unfortunately they are showing their age and have some fixable faults. I have spent the last two years to reverse engineering these cameras to identify the fault. If only I had a schematic.

I don’t expect the industry or politics to change any time soon. If only a hardware company could change the status quo by enabling their customers to be enabled to have full ownership and access.

I do 98% of my dev with a MBP. I hate it but its a work laptop. That being the case, we build products used in multiple continents and Safari has never been first. At best, 3rd. So no sir, we aren't doing things backwards.
It is reminiscent of the Cultural Revolution.

Liu Cixin lived through that period, which inspired one of the scenes he wrote in the Three Body Problem. In it, a physics professor is submitted to a struggle session by his students for teaching counter-revolutionary science (relativity and quantum mechanics) and beaten to death.

While this story is fictionalised, it certainly was no exaggeration of the climate at the time.
>As a software engineer can you imagine supporting every version of your software you ever released? Sounds like a nighmare.

Like don't push random updates that break shit. If your product is not filled with security issues you should be able to backport a fix for that giant secuiry bug you found, you can ignore the crashes. Anyway this big companies can afford to pay you to backport some fixes . It is not like some volunteer is forced to backport fixes in his free time.
Does it even matter if we read these contracts? No one's going to negotiate terms with the billion dollar company and only lawyers will have a full understanding of the implications of what's written in these things anyway. This last fact alone should be enough to invalidate any consent.

I mean, we're actually talking about "buying" games here. That's how insidious these things are. The few people who read this fine print will know that we're not really "buying" anything, we're being offered extremely limited licenses to the content. Can you blame consumers who fall prey to corporate deception? Marketing leads them to believe they're "buying" stuff. It's not really their fault when they become victims of corporate bullshit like remote content deletion. Nobody should have to consult lawyers before consuming.

Let's summarize all company contracts in an easy to understand manner:

1. We can do whatever we want.

2. You can do nothing we don't want.

3. We own everything.

4. We guarantee nothing.

5. You have no rights.

That does it. That's literally what all these little contracts boil down to. Every single time I read one it's just the above 5 points over and over in mind numbing legal language.

> The consequence is that even reading a book aloud at home would be a violation of copyright.

i would assume that the purchase of the book includes with it a right to read it out loud in a private setting, such as home.

I guess it is a fuzzy line - what is the difference if i read it aloud in a very large auditorium that i own, vs publicly broadcasting it?
> But I guess most people don't transfer files in their local networks anymore and use their network purely for internet access.

I think this is clearly the case. Most new laptops don't even bother with a wired network port. I've got a new "pro" HP laptop the other day, and it only comes with some cheap Wi-Fi card. And it's not an "entry-level" laptop, and it's thick enough for an RJ-45 plug to physically fit.

I also see more and more desktop motherboards come with integrated Wi-Fi. The desktops at Work (HP) also have had integrated Wi-Fi for a while, and it's not something we look for (they all use wired Ethernet).

It was a lot of he-says she-says with those chips, but as far as I understood it, it mostly came down to Apple using cheap solder. When the Nvidia chips inevitably started to heat up, it caused the solder to come loose which caused the notorious graphics issues. IIRC, there were even reports of people reviving dead or malfunctioning logic boards by doing ye olde "oven trick", which pretty much confirmed that it was an assembly issue, not a manufacturing one.

Economically, casinos are a mixed bag for tribes. The ones that have been successful are super successful, but many other tribes operating casinos find themselves spending money on gaming that doesn’t pay off.

It makes a certain intuitive sense; a lot of reservation land was, unfortunately, poor land in the middle of nowhere. Building a casino in the middle of nowhere won’t do you any good, so the tribes that profit are the ones with proximity to major population centers (see: Foxwoods and Mohegan Sun in CT; Winstar and Chocktaw in OK). It ends up coming down to luck and location more than anything else.
Well, seeing how large SSDs are still very expensive (in my mind it's €100 / TB), my hunch would be that if it makes sense for you to spend that much money on the drives, you probably won't really notice the price of a couple of 10 Gb network cards. They seem quite cheap on eBay if you're OK with used.
Nearly all the performance reviews between the stock Apache and Nginx at their hype time were equal to compare Word vs Notepad. An Apache installed from distribution package (with their range of enabled modules) and an Nginx compiled from source without nothing.
A vanilla and good built Apache it's perfectly fine for realworld use, at the same level than Nginx, because when you are close to the limits of this pieces of software, your scalability problems are in other place.

Just curious, what dividend stock do you think will pay you 6% without very high risk?

What I mean is: I have the freedom to use blockchain tech, or not. The only reason for me to accept the government telling me I can't use this would be if it truly had a devastating effect on the environment. I don't think this is true and I think the pros outweigh the cons. And I don't have a lot of assets, so in contrast to many people here, I'm not for or against blockchain tech because I either am heavily involved or failed to get involved early on.

Satoshi is not limiting my freedom because I can opt not to use his work. Net Freedom would be lost if I would force Satoshi to make BTC according to my vision.

2012-2015 I worked at a
shared hosting company and towards the end of my tenure there we revamped the architecture to be centered on nginx (SSL termination, HTTP2 support, etc.) and invested quite a bit in API and GUI support for rewrite rules, redirects, etc.

However, for better or worse, a lot of the software people want to run on shared hosting come with a .htaccess file and documentation for how to configure it otherwise. So we gave customers a choice to put Apache behind nginx.

Unfortunately I left too early to learn what %age of customers ended up enabling Apache but they‘re still running this architecture today.
