That's a weird argument. Yes, obviously the US government can win any engagement against anyone, including its own civilians, by nuking them at any time. Clearly there is additional nuance to this argument since the US didn't just nuke the Vietnamese, Iraqis, or Jan 6 protesters from the get-go.

> Trains are very efficient at carrying weight

Sure. But you also need a whole lot of them to provide sustained power to move a large train for a decent trip length.

> especially if they can dump power into the grid (or battery) when braking

Smaller benefit here to regen. Sure, a 10000 tonne train has a lot of kinetic energy-- maybe 3 gigajoules or something. But compare to > 50MW to keep that train moving at a decent clip. So a complete stop with 100% of the energy recaptured is only about 60 seconds of rolling resistance energy use.
Heh I am running currently at 32 inch;4k at 1x. I do find it tad small and I was thinking a 36 inch will be almost perfect.
Depends on the scaling. They are probably not talking about pixel scaling, but font and UI scaling, which means things stay just as sharp when scaled up.

The point is that it is a completely different framework to think about the future.

The exponential model is something close than what is behind Ray Kurzweil reasoning about the Great Singularity and how the future will be completely different and we're all going to be gods or immortals or doomed or something dramatic in that vein.

The S-Curve is more boring, it means that the future of computing technology might not be that mind blowing after all, we might already have reaped most of the low-hanging fruits.

A bit like airplanes, or space tech you know, have you seen those improving by a 10x factor recently?
I have the impression that engaging the airbrakes is a little bit all-or-nothing.

They're great for stopping (relatively) quickly on level ground. But not so grest for controlling your speed.

Big diesel-electric locomotives have large, actively cooled resistor banks, usually on top of the engine. When rolling down hill they run the electric motors as generators, and dumping the energy into the resistor banks.

The mechanical brakes can't absorb that much energy - they'd wear out after a few minutes.

I agree they could start there, but you’ll graduate quickly without having learned much.

The main question is, are we willing to put people in harms way today for the benefit of future humans? The answer seems pretty obvious to me. Drunk humans are considerably worse than this and are not going away anytime soon. If we can solve self driving just 1 year earlier it’s equivalent to saving 30,000 American lives.

Put another way, if you want rules that delay the advancement of self driving driving cars, you're effectively murdering 30,000+ American lives every year.

Clear cutting an acre gives you about $1500 for wood that took 20 years to grow. This is not an intensive industry in terms of what it generates per acre. I don't see how you are going to have to pay a lot to keep a strip clear on either side of the railroad. $75/acre/year would seem to be enough.

In addition to the other comments, buyers aren't generally deciding between a 1/2 ton pickup and mid-size sedan anyway, or a luxury car and a small compact sedan.

And I agree it really varies where you live and other variables, but that to me doesn't matter when
1) ICE vehicles aren't really that efficient anyway.
2) Even ignoring the first point, it's possible electric vehicle owners are more likely to get much of their electricity from greener sources than non-electric vehicle owners, and the extra demand on the grid requires more energy production to be built, and new energy production is probably going to be a lot greener than old sources.
3) A lot of people are somewhat environmentally conscious but only as convenience and their current lifestyle allow. People know a Civic is probably more environmentally friendly than 99% of cars, and don't care.

Then you can get in how many oil spills have been prevented, etc.,

It takes a lot of self reflection and maturity to realize mistakes we’ve made in the past, so thank you for sharing this about your career.

I’m wondering if you felt forced out of the company where your reputation was a brilliant hard to work with jerk?

I’ve worked with people like this before and unless the company culture is set up to reward this kind of behavior from the top down, this always ends in said person being worked around and given less and less responsibility and slowly managed out no matter how brilliant they are.

This almost always happens in the polite Silicon Valley way of getting rid of people where no one gets fired and everyone just smiles and works around you until you leave due to “incompetent team members” or “work not challenging anymore”, especially at start up’s who really don’t have the time or money to deal with wrongful termination lawsuits.

Not implying that this is what happened to you, but more so wondering if you felt this at all or it was just self realization that prompted your move and behavior change?

You know nothing about me! A meeting before 11a has about 20% chances I will attend, tops. And even if, by chance, I happen to be there, I won't have much to contribute before my 2nd redbull.

Yet, somehow, I've found a way to make it work, by focusing on my strengths and what I can bring to the table, and moving myself to the right environment.

So I'm telling you, your perspectives limit you. Several people also have tried to tell you. But it seems you want to ignore that, maybe in a desire to be in the right because the alternative might be threatening to your self identity/the wisdom of your past decisions?

It may seem harsh for me to tell that, but some people like to double down on their errors, as (re)claiming agency can be frightening at first.

Well, whatever, if you are like that, and it works for you, why not?

When I look on Amazon for ultra-wide, I find monitors that are for example 3840 pixels wide... which is ok... but only 1080 pixels tall?! And the wider they get the fewer rows of pixels they seem to have. My 14-inch mid-range laptop is 1964 pixels tall. My ancient standard-format monitor is 2160 pixels tall. Why are these brand-new, fully mains-powered, desktop monitors so stupidly low on pixel rows? 1080 rows isn't enough for a good amount of code or text at a reasonable resolution.
I think the challenge is keeping it up for years. And issues like you thinking that the mail is sent, only to learn later that a spam filter ate it somewhere. Now you have to think: what else is being eaten? For how long? What if you do need to send the email right now because of a deadline or similar?

So currently it's not infeasible, just an uphill battle.

It makes sense. Why go into teaching for the bad pay and terrible hours when you can go be a doctor or some kind of highly paid professional?

Teacher pay in the US doesn't attract stellar candidates. Further in the comments here people claim that 65k a year for a field that typically requires a bachelors/masters is great, when those are mid career earnings and if you have a modicum of drive or ambition, those earnings are what you could get as an entry level salary at any tech company.

Anecdotally, I can't think of many smart, ambitious people that I personally know that went into teaching. My experiences aren't a statistical sample, but its telling that its not a career choice that anyone talks much about aspiring into.
> my mom thinks that a 25” 1080p monitor is going to let her fit more things on her screen than a 22” 1080p monitor.

She may be right, if she can reduce the scaling factor so that individual items stay readable and take fewer pixels to display.

> Hard disagree on that. “Triggering”, huh? I’m sure for some people, the idea of life not delivering to you exactly what you want, and when you want it, is triggering too.

I think that you're purposefully twisting the point here. The point is not that I'm afraid to go out of my comfort zone, the point is that I can't think clearly when I have an audience and I'm being judged on my performance. Which was never a problem when I was doing the actual job.

I have more than 15 years of experience, working on frontend, backend, doing infra level work, some SRE etc. In most of my jobs I've been also on an on call rotation and when I was at Travis CI I've been on a "support rotation". I've been fixing nasty memory related bugs that put the entire site with the time pressure, I've been dealing with restoring accidentally dropped databases, I've been doing big data migrations and cleanups that could basically fuck up the database if done incorrectly and I've been dealing with various infra level problems in the past. Not once I had a problem similar to the problems I have on interviews.

So no, the problem is not that I will need to get out of my comfort zone, the problem is that companies are filtering out people that would thrive on the job only because they have performance anxiety. And honestly, personally, for me, I don't care much. If I get fired tomorrow I could easily get a well paid job, probably better paid than my current one, I just refuse to interview if there is a coding challenge involved. What I care about, however, is that it's just a shitty practice that is so popular in the industry and people with less privilage than I have might have a hard time getting jobs where they would thrive, because they have this issue.

Stack traces are in that awkward spot where they mean nothing to a user but are often nearly useless to a developer as well. You really need a good core dump reporting system with something like Breakpad, in addition to whatever you tell the user.

Let me chime in and recommend the Lenovo ThinkVision P32U-10 [0]. Color repro is amazing, brightness is bonkers, it's matte. The only dealbreaker for some is it's 60Hz only. The reviews are pretty good and give a good idea of how it all performs [1] [2] [3]. Plus it's super cheap at Amazon right now; I'm pretty sure mine cost $700-$800 and it's down to $400.

I did have to monkey a little with macOS to get color reproduction correct on a new M1 Max--which I found out isn't uncommon. Also 32" is big--they make a 27" but brightness and color reproduction suffer slightly, and it loses a Thunderbolt port. But that might be an OK tradeoff for you.

I can't speak for anyone else, but I help maintain a large-ish codebase that releases on all the major desktops. Compile times aren't great but they only account for around 15% of the total CI time. Cross compiling wouldn't really help us, since we need to run end to end and integration tests on actual machines.
This was actually a dealbreaker and blocker for me when I last time tried BeeWare. I was hoping I will be able to do some rapid prototyping with numpy + opencv-python directly on my android or iphone. I wish there was at least some tutorial how to make non-pure python modules.

I had the same issue when investigating Kivy and PyQt. It definitely seems possible since you can download Pydroid [1] for android (that supports e.g. pyqt, opencv, tensorflow) or Pyto [2] for iOS (that seems actually is based on BeeWare and support many non-pure modules including opencv)

No, it doesn't single out Facebook at all. It applies to every company equally. What singles Facebook out is their practices. Equal treatment under the law means treating those equally who act equally, in this case it'd just be doing its job. Microsoft for example, already voluntarily stores data in Europe (https://blogs.microsoft.com/eupolicy/2021/05/06/eu-data-boun...)

And of course the user damage is material, because American data protection laws are weaker than European ones. That's why they're shoving the data across the pond in the first place.

that literally is what the data protection legislation is about
> it is impossible to convince anyone to spend money.

They don't need to be convinced to spend money. They are spending more than ever. But you're dead on about it all being crisis-driven now. Or maybe it always was? WWII was clearly that, then the cold war/space race, then Star Wars, then GWAT (or GWOT?) -- Global War Against/On Terrorism, and now Covid - Build Back Better. Crisis spending is perfect cover for pork and grift, because anyone who questions it can be painted as unpatriotic.
Really missing OLED in the post. After getting an OLED tv a few years back I can't imagine myself spending money on anything with less quality. Instant pixel refresh, amazing colors and no blooming and most importantly, a glossy display.

Tried the Odyssey G7 for a while, so blurry with VA and matte panel. Ended up returning it. Temporary solution is my old 2x 1440 IPS 27". They look awful next to my 15 inch 4k laptop but gets the job done for now on the cheap.

Nearly got the C1 48" but it is a bit too big for easy usage. When rumors for the C2 42" started coming I decided to buy it ASAP when it launches this spring.

So annoyed by the monitor market. Phones have awesome screens, TVs have awesome screens, even laptops have awesome screens. Monitors are whatever is the cheapest per unit for large corporations or an ever increasing HZ number for gamers, without even considering pixel transition time or color....

A national protest resonates in the individual states.

I'm against these protests but extremely wary that FB etc. would shut them down.

GoFundMe locked the donations to the Canadian protest.

The 'powers that be' need only point at a 'canard' to do so, in the case of GoFundMe they cited 'police reports' ... imagine them doing thee same for BLM protests which, which largely peaceful, often had violent components.

It's reasonable to have policies to ban COVID liars and QAnoners etc. but it gives a lot of legitimacy to 'regular truckers who want to protest' to shut them down from wanting to communicate.

I can't imagine a more powerful way to permanently damage ostensibly legitimate authority than those getting shut down.

TikTok has not shut down the truckers live feeds from Ottawa, they're generally a good bunch that have utterly bad views on covid and vaccines, but their hesitation is partly rooted in 'the government lying to them' and the way the press has covered them, the way FB, GoFundME etc. have closed ranks on them, I'm fearful that it will just even further justify their actions now, and in the future as they entirely turn away from trusting the state, medical authorities etc..
