I have a Boox Nova 2 and can mostly recommend it.

It's true that Onyx violates the GPL and has some privacy concerns around it, but on the upside the bootloader is unlocked by default and you can root the system fairly easily, allowing you to install a firewall restricting some of the phoning home (https://blog.tho.ms/hacks/2021/03/27/hacking-onyx-boox-note-...).

I'm beginning to use it as a general purpose Android tablet. The low refresh rate takes a bit of time to get used to, but I find that it causes you to interact with the device more slowly and carefully at points, which reduces the chance for distractions a bit (it's not that low though, you can actually watch the occasional video, the ghosting isn't actually even that bad).

I don't think the note capability is very good with the default app (I think it's unusable, in fact), but a new mode adds compatibility with OneNote (which I also don't like, but is probably less buggy). It's still a brilliant device for reading using Koreader, browsing the Web using Fennec/EinkBro and taking notes using a pen on GBoard's swipe input functionality. Just mind that the battery doesn't last as ridiculously long as you may be used to with this usage pattern. I get through about a day with fairly heavy usage.

A color display would be a welcome addition, but the gigantic oversight the Nova 3 Color's developers have made is not adding a warm light. It's what I exclusively use on my device.
I'm not American, but I think it might be even more narrow than that. Is it reasonable to expect six figure developer salaries if one is from outside small number of states with a lot of tech industry? What if one lives in Alaska?
Usually, you either care about 0-copy, in which case you don't want to rely on "if the compile can tell", or you don't care about 0-copy, in which case it doesn't matter that the compiler did it.

reinterpret_cast guarantees that it is in-place, so it's the right tool for 0-copy.
D3D12 has more compute features than Vulkan has. It works out for DXVK because games often don’t use those, but it’ll cause much more issues with CLon12.

By the way, if you are ready to have a _limited_ implementation without a full feature set because of Vulkan API limitations, clvk is a thing. The list of limitations of that approach is at https://github.com/google/clspv/blob/master/docs/OpenCLCOnVu...

tldr: Vulkan and OpenCL SPIR-V dialects are different, and the former has significant limitations affecting this use case
I linked to the FDA, too, since I knew you either hadn’t read or understood the documents someone else summarized for you. The part you quoted confirms that: note the distinction between the disease and the virus which causes it. Everyone knew that vaccinated people could still spread, but it takes longer to get data quantifying exactly how much and since the data showed very high efficacy against serious cases there was no ethical reason to delay protecting people waiting on that.
Could you tell us more about why you want to stop drinking?

If your concern is seeing the posts on HN about alcoholism, and you're anxious about becoming dependent but currently are not, I can suggest an alternative formulation that I follow. I have a lot of alcoholism in my family, and I myself am quite a moderate drinker. (1-2 drinks per week most weeks; often none; maybe 3-4 in busier summer months when there's more social stuff going on.)

Here are some rules I came up with for myself when I first started drinking, several years ago. They are based on the behaviors that I observed in other people who were "moderate" drinkers.

1) Never drink alone. Alcohol is for social engagements only. (I do count hanging out on video chat/Discord as "social" to an extent, if other people are also drinking. Social engagements don't have to be parties; dinner with your spouse counts. The important thing is it is a social activity.)

2) Never drink more than three drinks in a night. After your third, you're done. Instead, drink slowly. (You could vary this from two to four depending on your health and tolerance. In practice, I almost never drink more than two. I tell people I'm a slow drinker because I'm a lightweight, which is true, but only because I have let it be true by not drinking much.)

3) If you can afford it, drink good quality beverages - craft beer, scotch or bourbon, nice wine - which taste interesting and are worth savoring. Helps with part 2.

4) Never drink solely because you feel bad in some way and "could use a drink." If you feel badly but also are in a social environment where you would have had a drink otherwise, that's okay - you just don't want to form an association where

5) Avoid drinking on an empty stomach - having something to munch on slows you down.

I am not an expert and I don't guarantee this will work for everyone - and certainly it will never work for someone who is already an alcoholic. But it has helped me define my relationship to alcohol in what I feel is a healthy way, and maintain it.
>His offered "solution" was that IBM granted free access to its POWER cloud.

I am more or less done moving out of Google Workspace. This is what worked for me.

TL/DR:

- Create gmail accounts for each user
- Configure POP3 at their domain gmail accounts
- Pull email from domain to gmail
- Move their google drive and google photos from domain
- Disconnect google workspace from google domain
- Setup email forwards at google domain from personal domain to gmail

Prevention of the disease, not just spread.
> Because the Hindenburg was able to take 100+ people across the Atlantic (86 years ago!), that's much more than the maybe 10-person "luxury RV" that the OP was suggesting. Today's Zeppelin NT semi-rigid airships are reasonably small and can carry 10+ passengers on shorter flights.

You can also build a car with square wheels and cross north america in one.

> I'm not sure I understand your point, are you saying that airships don't work?

No, I'm saying that companies that try to sell airships don't work.

These companies are good at raising money, because the idea they sell is simple to explain, and many people don't do due diligence.

But in the same way that a car with square wheels is a worse solution to the problem, along pretty much any axis of comparison, than any of the alternatives available in the market, so are airships. With the difference that airships are also way more expensive than the solutions that are already in use.

This is why companies that build and try to sell them, default in 3-5 years after having raised the money.

---

The only types of airship that "works" are balloons able to cary 2-5 people. The weight is small, so the balloon surface is also small against the wind, the components required to drive them are simple and easy because the balloon is "small", and their use is purely occasional and recreational (or a tourist attraction where you can charge a bonus), so cost isn't a "huge" issue. People pay for the "fun", not to go from A to B.
OSI model of Human Resource Management?
E-ink is the coolest tech with the worst business practices. The availability of affordable e-ink tech is just not there. I understand the research-intensive nature of these displays, but the company itself has been holding back the e-ink market by just operating poorly in so many ways.

My biggest worry is that they'll fold at some point, leaving all the e-ink patents in the hand of a troll that will hold tech back for 20 years.
It's simply an ineffective way of looking at the world.

The government is the one that sets policies, not the developers. To me a government official that accepts a bribe and makes far reaching policies in response to one is much more culpable and to blame than somebody making the bribe.

It's like if a company hired a lot of unqualified people and then blamed those people when it failed, rather than their system of checks and balances in the hiring process.

Focusing on the player and not on the rules of the game is simply a losing mentality, sorry.

The whole point of democracy is about holding government accountable when they make mistakes. Diverting blame to non government actors doesn't solve anything
I am. That’s very atypical for my support, and I sincerely apologize for that. Searching for your emails landed me in early 2020. And it looks like I forgot to respond to you. That was a busy time. After 4 years, I was in the process of quitting my full-time job to go full-time on Keygen, and I was in the middle of moving all support from Intercom to email. So my email was kind of flooded and I often forgot to respond to some discovery emails. It’s no excuse, but I figured I’d share. Again, sorry for the poor experience.
1 ms = 1/1000 of a second.

500ms = half a second.

"Less than half a second" is probably something like 450 ms, based on my assumption that if it was closer to 1/3 or 1/4s they would have said that instead.

Film is traditionally 24 frames/second, or about 41.6ms/frame. A lot of animation is "on twos", which means one drawing is exposed twice for an effective frame rate of 12 fps, 83.3ms/frame. Which is very close to the minimum frame rate; my experience as a former animator is that things start to break down into fast slideshow instead of a moving image around 10 fps.

(Video is faster, about 50 or 60 fields a second for PAL and NTSC; your computer may have a higher refresh rate. I'm mostly concerned with the minimum viable speeds for "this is a moving image" here.)

If you chase the links near the end there is a review of one of the devices using the first version of their technology; full-screen refreshes are the usual very visible flash of white-black-new page to reset every pixel.
Hitler's circle of evil
I recently negotiated a 10% raise after two years, which my calculations show did not even cover the inflation that I have experienced. My costs are up almost 20% in that same timeframe. They wanted to give me 5%. Not sure how they plan to retain workers with that strategy.
Thanks, I largely agree with that. I just don't think we're getting a good deal for society with a year of effort from a paid programmer. When I said "reward" I meant understanding, not enjoyment. We programmers are privileged enough, I'm not advocating to optimize for our fun as well.
I think you're out of touch with the shear amount of base knowledge you had to accumulate to get to the point where all this seems like 8th grader level. It _is_ simple in the end, most of the time, but it's a freaking mile high pile of simple concepts built on top of each other.
yeah, i should have said "stream" as well, thats what im using. its awesome.

also, you mean encoding, not encryption :)

If you don't understand what placement new is, you don't know whether libraries using placement new affects you.

I did not write this comment about placement new specifically. It's just a thing that annoys me about the "learn a subset" idea. You still need to know at least enough about every feature to know whether it affects you.
Placement new is perhaps not the best example there because it is relatively niche and self contained, true.
EVs are wonderful in certain places: cities, suburbs, etc. Where I sit it’s -10F, and everyone with an EV either can’t start it at all or has to ride in it with no heat—-which can be life-threatening. EVs will reduce our demand, but never eliminate it due to such edge cases.

The injunction is against the hiring hospital, which is a heavily regulated, licensed entity.

I don't have a clue if there is a provision addressing group recruitment in those regulations, but it wouldn't be shocking.

In general hospital regulation has lots of room for improvement...there's this idea that more hospitals will be more expensive and that it is good to move services to lower cost facilities. Neither of those make all that much sense. Competition and utilization are good things, not bad things.
No, and some SWEs don't realize how much they are getting paid compared to other fields, and how extraordinary this all is. Compare your salaries to doctors/lawyers (the traditionally highest paid labor class) for some perspective.

I recognise a lot of what you say and empathise.

One of the reasons i chose comouter science was that it was an engineering discipline where I didn't have to wait for materials. I can dream something up and build it tonight. That also means you can progress as quickly as you choose. Perhaps at the cost of social relationships. And we often do that at a stage where we haven't learned the value of those relationships yet.

At least for me, what you describe comes out of an unhealthy level of perfectionism and expectations on myself. Expectations I'll never satisfy, hence unhealthy behaviour if I don't address my expectations. A therapist helped make those more recognisable for me. Consider it.

As long as you have balance in work and other activities, there is work in our field that you will be able to look back on and feel a sense of achievement. Look up civic technology. What tech offers is making things feasible and accessible where it wouldn't have been before. Things can be more efficient, like offering remote learning, data collection, analysis and data-driven decision making.

But you don't have to do civic tech to be proud of your work. What tech offers can benefit society in very many ways. It's even justifiable to work for a bank if it's a bank that doesn't exploit people. And as an employee you can help keep it that way.

So don't be too harsh on yourself. And you don't necessarily have to leave the industry to feel you've accomplished something.
Stuffing an SSD Inside the Raspberry Pi 400 (2021)

I don't think there's a worry about epileptic events with the short flash sequences of e-ink. I'm not a neurologist, but I think you need a reasonably long sequence of continued flashing to trigger an event.
Sorry for being unable to sympathise with these developers but: if you want to make money out of it, make your users pay for it. How is this rocket science? It's not even incompatible with the principle of open source.

One thing is adding a paid plan after you decide you want to monetise your software, it's unpopular but understandable, another is bundling malware or adding malicious logic to get some money or "protest" because companies aren't paying you. They knew this is how open source worked, and being a twat because they don't like those terms anymore just ruins their reputation and all the goodwill they've built.
That’s a good point. I think one or two colours mixed with font weights and italics could get us pretty far.

Response time is a pretty critical metric for me when it comes to coding. I don’t want to have to wait a couple hundred milliseconds to scroll or switch files, so I’m not convinced coding is a great fit for the existing tech. Code isn’t read top to bottom like a novel.

That said, hell yes I want less eye strain when coding. I’m sure we can all relate to that.
I haven't tested this but in theory yes. This setup gives you working GPU support.
Those letters are probably the best if you’re limited to a single vowel, but there are vowels that are more common than some of those letters. As I posted in another comment, I saw someone who wrote a solver say that the optimal starting word is ROATE.
UK Deaths attributable to Covid with no underlying causes in 2021
>Especially in the ‘healthy at any size’ era we now live in

I'm not sure this has anything to do with science. It's turned into a religion, but is there evidence to suggest it is affecting the science of health?

>I eat meat to help cover gaps in understanding, and by careful measurement I can tell that I’m healthier when I eat it, or specifically less healthy when I don’t.

What measurements are those? Anecdotally, eating no animal products for the last year, my blood pressure has gone down, I've lost weight but maintained strength, and I don't have this weird gut pain I used to have. Certainly the qualitative aspects aren't reliably measurable, but I feel that the decrease in blood pressure and weight are directly relatable to these changes.

>If the science can be improved then maybe we could then shift away from meat.

What about the science now do you find untrustworthy? Is it the fact that it's usually funded by companies who have an agenda, or what?

>bioreactor food which typically isn’t enjoyable to eat

This is fermentation right? Like kimchi? Honestly, kimchi smells pretty bad but I like the way it tastes a lot.
Also seeing most virological forms of research this is 'explaining after the fact' which is far from making a predictive forecast. Frankly something the WHO, SAGE and various other governments should be well aware of before even reading Report9...
I used WSL2 with CUDA from linux for awhile, but forced update to Windows 11 (which broke everything) was a last straw for me.

I went back to dual boot configuration with Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, and it saves so much time on fiddling with wsl, I highly recommend it.
No time spent in the past is wasted, it’s what got you here. If you’ve been at the same job for a while, switch it up. I was at a company for over 6 years and I felt a lot of what you’re saying. I’m at a new company, and my wife and I sold our house and moved across the country too. Saying my life is better now is the understatement of a century. It’s not too late to live the life you want. Just stop pushing people away. Stop doing the things you don’t want to be doing. If it’s software engineering isn’t right for you, then change that up too. You’ve only been working 10 years, but you’re talking like you’re at the tail end of a 45 year career. You could become a master in literally anything and still have more than 10 years to reap that. Get the courage to change the things you can.
I would guess that it is because of Shein[1].

>The company was not involved in clothing design and manufacturing, and instead obtained its products from the wholesale clothing market in Guangzhou. In 2014, Shein acquired Romwe, another Chinese e-commerce retailer, making it a "fully integrated retailer." In 2020, Shein was the most talked about brand on TikTok and Youtube and the 4th most talked about brand on Instagram.

Shein seems to be a frontend to the Chinese clothing industry. They are faster and cheaper than traditional retailers, which should include Uniqlo. If Uniqlo wants or has to compete, they have to build a similar platform in a fraction of the time.

Maybe they also want to expand into virtual reality and such, then they have to become a software company. After all, they sell fashion and not textiles. If people spend their money on hats and armor in games, then they have to be there, and not in a shopping mall.

Thanks for the suggestion, but as weird as this sounds, we also don't have central servers to use at the data centers for this.

The machines don't all need to be running the same version of the binary at the same time, so I took a simpler approach, which is that each machine checks for updates on a random schedule over a configureable amount of time. This distributes the load evenly and everything becomes eventually consistent. After about an hour everything is updated without issues.

I use CloudFlare workers to cache at the edge. On a push to master, the binary is built in Github CI and a release is made after all the tests pass. There is a simple json file where I can define release channels for a specific version for a specific CIDR (also on a release ci/cd as well, so I can validate the json with tests). I can upgrade/downgrade and test on subsets of machines.

The machines on their random schedule hit the CF worker which checks the cached json file and either returns a 304 or the binary to install depending on the parameters passed in on the query string (current version, ip address, etc.). Binary is downloaded, installed and then it quits and systemd restarts the new version.

Works great.
That seems high for an average COL area. Are there stats on this?

I like thinking of it like the Olympic rings. The blue ring(all the way to the left) doesn't need to know anything about the red ring(all the way to the right), but should absolutely know the yellow ring(second ring from the left), and possibly bits of the black ring(middle ring). The leakier the abstraction, the more you need to reach.
> Yes, the whole premise is very US-centric.

It's actually even more localized than that: the vast majority of places in the US don't pay that much. Silicon Valley, NYC, and some other metros will have higher ranges, of course, and BigCorps can afford to pay it. But if you live in the Midwest or program for a company whose business isn't software—which is likely a healthy minority of software positions, if not a majority—you generally won't make that much.
> More are employed coding Ada than Rust.

> More code Forth than Rust

Not trying to be a dick, but do you have any evidence you can point to for these claims? I find them to be surprising and unlikely.
Lol, you must live in a small little world. Finance has been and still clears much more than software devs on average. Along with that, many other professions have way more longevity (you aren’t considered old at 35, you are considered young). It’s a dumb industry, it better pay somewhat okay.
It also required a lot of customers. An 8-billion mankind produces much more demand for things than a 1-billion one.
