It is worth noting here that this "one assembly instruction" is not that cheap. The hardware on a multicore system does have to perform some locking under the hood to execute that instruction. But yes, it still has enough of an advantage over calling into the kernel to justify the additional usage complexity.
This article is a key example of why I can barely stand to read U.S. media anymore; the authors' bias drips over it. Everything is regarded in terms of "the left" vs. "the right", us versus them. Within the introduction the words "right-wing", "controversial" and "pro-Trump" have already been used. Not to mention "familiar with his thinking". What does that mean, some random person who spoke with him once? At least there's a fair bit of detail on his background, but it saddens me that everything has to be seen through the lens of "left" vs "right".
But what about STDs acquired at grad school? Umm.. asking for a friend...
Will Harvey's Music Construction Set was the first EA title that I ever purchased.

They definitely gave this guy the aura of a rock star in the packaging that came with the title.
I think it's sensible to run an application fleet without SSH access, but it's tough for a hosting provider that has to support lots of different application fleets to not offer a way to get a shell. Our authorization systems are about to get sharply more interesting as we roll out Macaroon-style tokens this quarter, so I'm optimistic we'll get to a place where we make both styles of application owners happy.

I was more on your side when I wrote the feature, and I'm less on your side now. Also, I SSH into instances to debug things all the time. :)
Most of the useful apps has to connect to a server, let's say app devs stop serving requests for iOS, Apple would be pressured to come to the table because the iPhone is useless without apps.
In my experience it works for mostly static games - most others are not fun due to the additional latencies. If you're close enough to the server and not too sensitive it might be enjoyable, but also some genres are just unplayable IMO (e.g. FPS, roguelikes, racing games).
It's close, but I only use a laptop when traveling. The screen is too small, the keyboard is too cramped, it's too slow, not enough disk space, etc. I like my desktop with dual big monitors, full size keyboard, mouse, and lots of places to plug things in.

But the rest is on point :-) I almost never have a good idea while at my computer.
>> Typical postdoctoral salaries begin at $27,000 annually in the biological sciences and about $35,000 in the physical sciences (graduate student stipends are less than half these figures).

Yes, but if they go to Wall St with the same credential, they make 20x that.
A servo is the movey bits that move the movey bits on the killbots.
Try doing it with coderpad IDE with no autcommplete. On top of that, for Java, make sure you declare everything as static, because top level class has static on it.

A reasonable middle ground is that I demonstrate I know all the concepts in the interview and I can send a fully compilable version after the interview.

>>I'm 43 myself, it's not something I do for fun but I can certainly code up a DFS/BFS implementation or something similar in 40 minutes.

Do you think you can do or have you done this? There is a difference between the two.
in practice?

Instead of posting anecdotal evidence of mine to the contrary, I ll ask the following. If cartels are unstable in practice, then why do states need competition authorities to punish price fixing, and similar practices?

I 'd say cartel's are unstable in theory but not necessarily in practice.
It's a pointless distinction by and large.

Microcontrollers may or may not have storage for firmware. Requiring an off-chip flash is nothing new. Microcontrollers have SRAM, but so do processors. That's where the firmware runs before it gets the DRAM running. Microcontrollers may include a bunch of peripherals, but so do processors. Especially so if you refer to SoCs as processors, like the article here does. And SoCs stir it up further: they have tons of peripherals, and we also have SoCs with on-package DRAM. Discrete SRAM chips exist too, I figured there must be microcontrollers that can use them (but I haven't actually looked).

Yes, the terminology has evolved.
I had the same thought! I (rather arrogantly) assumed that I would know most or all of the "female" words. Turned out I recognized less than half, and could define only a couple.
It is interesting that you term me as a climate denier, when in no part did my comment imply I deny the effects and future impact of climate change. I made a point about how global policymaking can and will realistically react to the situation.
No, the campaign's goals were to push higher plasma energy out of a JET pulse. This required upgrades to many subsystems and to dust off everything necessary for nuclear operations.

They did this in support of ITER, but there are also likely other political motivations. There has been no nuclear MCF operation on Earth in decades and now the UK has invested in resuming theirs rather than mothballing it.

You can't make claims about the motivations of the campaign (such as it being a signpost?) if you don't know what was even done.

And again, you shouldn't talk about the roadmaps if you haven't looked at them. Look at PPPL FIRE and power plant studies.
WinAmp was my favorite music player. Skins, EQ, visualization,... It had all. I also like the fact that you could listen to Internet radio stations with it.
The box of Barry’s in my drawer (I’m in America) agrees with you
Totally makes sense. Is there any way for your scanner to filter on "job req from direct company", which would filter out reqs from contingency recruiters?
JTAG is typically used for pass/fail binning and scanning of logic/memory at package (and occasionally wafer) test. Without something like that it's very hard to get to <1000ppm defect rates. Properly designed, you wouldn't expect the Unique ID to be readable/extractable even from an enabled port, but could certainly reverse engineering its operation more easily.
How exactly do you sacrifice ANYTHING compared to any other VPS rental?!
It's definitely all my talent that keeps this place running. I'm definitely not just a noisy message board guy who got hired after most of this infrastructure was built and deployed and then just proceeded to make a bunch of message board noise about it.
Ah go on, go on, go on.
Why would you need scientists at Universities that do nothing when you have Musk with his private corporations? I thought he alone can solve any technical problem after a little bit of hard working.
Which countries do you consider non “crappy”?
Not to be flippant, but have you seen somebody try this and fail or be stopped? What would be the purpose of the group? Why would it need to cater to men?

These aren't rhetorical questions. I'm genuinely asking.
Is it really illegal to not maximize profit? I suppose we have capitalism to thank for that, where companies like PG&E can cut corners on maintenance and yet the C-level executives get to take home millions in bonuses.

Just because it's legal doesn't mean it's the right thing to do, you know? Or perhaps I'm just naïve and everyone should be out for themselves, the community/society be damned.
The job being un-interesting and un-rewarding doesn't make it bullshit. The job of a truck or a taxi driver is boring as fuck, but it's not bullshit.
Program to Cut Student Debt Sticks Some with Even More
This caused me to re-read the original article. The one thing i just dont see mentioned is the class warfare of the situation. C students sometimes just dont want to play the game, they see the game as fake & irrelevant. The use of the learning, the pressure to achieve can feel very so what.

I had an elemntary school teacher that very persistently drilled into us the value of school, of trying, of thinking, that opened doors of perception to geekhood & technology, which got me to start to engage, to think about the value. Ehich i had numberous further crisis of faith over, which made it dismaying when i felt like the educational side of the compact was failing, wasnt as real as i'd hoped.

I wouldnt say this is the majority, but there is definitely a whiff of rebellion, & some of it is super smart, edgy, more connected & wise than the A students. Questioning spending time, questioning trying hard, questioning auhority, not seeing it add up in bigger picture. The original article keeps bring like, 'this weakness is actually helpful', taking at face value more or less that C students are probably just lesser than their A colleagues, but that that struggle has upside, which i think masks a far deeper more important truth, of why some C students are C students to start with.
I for one am a proponent for free and open internet and net neutrality. Banning any sites/services in the US is a slippery slope. There has to be better ways to deal with these problems.
It might sound odd, but it is not abnormal for a movie to be rewritten deep into production. Some infamous movies for this include Die Hard and Stripes, the endings for which were not written until after filming had begun. Given the much longer process for animated movies I'm not surprised this happens at Disney too.
Right, and that is what I don't get. The "fancy tech" isn't really that great relative to alternatives available in the past, but everyone is somehow unaware. Aftermarket stereos were mainstream during the 80's-90's during the tape->CD transition, so more people knew that they could upgrade, but in the mid-late 00's, hardly anyone seemed to know that you could swap a stereo out relatively easily. For modern cars I've looked at, the dash kit for swaps makes it insanely expensive. Popular vehicles may have custom aftermarkets, but niche cars are out of luck. So many people just look for any reason to get a new car, I guess that is just a side effect of treating cars like replaceable appliances?
Maybe the llama has grown to like it.
Nope. That’s encoded in boundary conditions, initial conditions, and the forcing function. The wave equation just says how these things interact.
I feel like savvy companies can game Glassdoor. Like reviews online, it may be useful to learn what to look for but not so useful as an overall raring.

Yeah, the irony is they position themselves as 'anti-facebook' and they're worse for the user than FB's whatsapp product from a security standpoint.

I'd probably even trust FB's unencrypted messenger content to be better protected than telegram.

They clearly have a loyal fan following though.
It's surreal that the "I'm being censored" hysteria among the privileged class has caused people to sincerely believe that there is more thought policing in the US than in China.
I would assume that's the case because it's commonly used in pornography (see also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shemale) and males statistically watch more pornography.
I feel like the NYTimes could take more papers under its subscription - e.g. give subscribers the option to bundle in a state and municipal paper, that the NYTimes essentially vets as a local affiliate (I’m guessing this would probably lead to substantial overhead on their end, though).
True, but I find that driving requires enough attention that I cannot do any useful thinking that goes into "the zone". But with running, it's easy to get into the zone, and the miles go by that I can't even recall.
I wonder what his thoughts are about his operating systems in comparison to the popularity of Unix-like operating systems today. Could we ever expect to see a VMS-like OS on Raspberry Pi?
There are many faces to profit. Amazon didn’t turn a profit for twenty years but no one would say Jeff Bezos was negligent.
It is more accurate to say that CEOs need to create value. Even then, value can be at one point (liquidate all company assets) or oriented towards the distant future (invest in nuclear fusion tech).
Curtain blocks all light, couch needs to be comfortable for long stretches. What more do I need to know? My wife knew all words, male and female. She is a writer and translator and about some tech stuff I talk to much. But she couldn’t care less what the couch or curtains are made off. She doesn’t even care too much about the color; ‘not black or white please’.
The benefit of keeping it closed: squeeze some money from people googling winamp.

Why would you give up that revenue stream? It might also have some residual allure to attract investment capital.
Deep Reading
Computing back then was more like typing numbers into machines rather than writing software. It's akin to typewriting jobs which were also dominated by women.

Mileage figures have little to do w/ max power. That mileage figure is roughly using the same actual power, which is a relative sip of fuel.

The main difference would be in testing EPA methodology which which would be a bit more stringent/realistic to world use. On top of that, there likely is more rolling resistance at lower speed due to larger tires and heavier weight, offset somewhat by lower C/D at speed.

Basically it's hard to extrapolate ICE efficiency gains... they're there are sure, but probably in the single or low double digits.
We did, which is why we had no blackouts this year.
I think Tailscale uses user-mode TCP/IP (also gVisor netstack) for some client devices, like iOS? But could be wrong here.
2FA with Google has screwed me out of an important account when I switched phone numbers after moving countries. I was on the phone with customer service for countless hours and customer support more or less directly said that there's nothing that can be done. The only way I was able to recover the account was some internal process with a friend that worked at Google at the time. This was 5 years ago. I have never opted into 2FA since.
A large number of developers work for companies. They don't need to deal with Apple as their employers/clients take care of all that. On freelance side free apps do not see much issue and paid apps devs are not in position to organize worldwide to make Apple change policy in haste.
It's also good to have a number of these things in the oven, because it's hard to predict when a sudden discontinuous leap might make practical in the short term something that previously seemed like a multi-generational project.

I presume almost no one in 1920 could have imagined that anything approaching the output of fission energy would become common in their lifetime.
I am not a programer, but I always regarded this practice as weird. Every time I saw such headers in my company the header would feature a name of some long-gone employee. So no point of knowing the author's name since you cannot reach him for help.

And if I really wanted to know the author's name, then git log --follow would help me anyway

Nothing but a someone's ego boost and a theft of my screen space
Sorry, that was in reference to "four crummy electric burners"
That checks out. I'd say at least 80% of my encounters with the word have been jokes in media, or jokes between people (probably inspired by or ripped off from media). Most young kids wouldn't know it, though.
This would take such a critical mass that it's silly to consider. Without some critical mass, the average consumer would see that the rest of their apps work fine, and probably just give the app a 1 star review "it keeps freezing".
For a relatively small company I use PiHole Unbound with LE certificates and I'm routing the private subdomains to internal IPs.
Except it's not inevitable. We have a few 15+ year old profitable projects that are still working fine on RDBMS backed queues.
Even if this were true (jocks go into management and management is useless), it would be the opposite of what the parent was saying about the people on the path to high pay rarely having romantic relationships since management tends to pay well.
There's a great article about how hardware companies can't compete with Apple. Apple do things like finding a technology for making better laptop enclosures and buying the company that makes it so no one else can use it. It's a good read. https://beneinstein.medium.com/no-you-cant-manufacture-that-...
Apple likes to highlight all the ways their actions benefit developers, while ignoring all the ways their actions harm developers.

Well if you get to add money to your bottom line for all the great stuff you do, you should also have to subtract money for all the crappy things you do.

Off the top of my head:

- Developers should get a “cut” whenever Apple makes arbitrary changes that completely break 3rd-party apps. If the app’s code doesn’t change but Apple does change something, their behavior is literally creating problems for developers with no cost to Apple. Let’s charge them!

- Developers should get a “cut” whenever Apple is literally the reason for delay when trying to deliver things like critical fixes to customers. Let’s charge them!

- Developers should get a “cut” whenever their reputation is completely trashed by users because Apple refuses to acknowledge their own mistakes. In other words, Apple is perfectly happy to let users think apps are trash, even if the reason for the problem is Apple. Let’s charge them!

Apple doesn’t get to have only the good parts. I personally am sick and tired of all the ways they get to hide their awful behavior, and forcing developers to take the brunt of it.
A lot of the "female" words are fashion/style related. For a long time, France (and Italy) dominated the fashion world, so a lot of technical terms around fashion are French, which probably explains the distinction.
The essay is from 1999, so the salaries are a little off -- it's something like $50,000 +/- $15,000 for most postdoctoral positions now. Yes, you can go to Wall St with a physics PhD and have a great career. But the thing is that many students (especially in elite institutions) enter graduate school with the hopes of becoming an actual scientist, not a Wall St analyst.
Ah the meth dealer’s ethic: “I just sell the stuff, they choose to smoke it.”
near hour long discussions with game performance tests, thermal imaging, airflow testing, etc, don't seem to be the kind of stuff you're talking about
Very difficult, and frankly pointless. I have seen employees take problems to the board in the past _if_ they already have a working relationship with board members. Otherwise, you are signalling yourself as an employee that cannot successfully work with the company's management. At best, the board will take actions based on your advice, but you will still compromise your own position within the company.

The calculus is simple: in many startups the CEO owns 10-60% of the company. A very senior early employee who negotiated well on options/equity? Optimally <0.5%.
I don't know much about computing as a profession, but wasn't it just algorithmic arithmetic?
I was shopping for curtains recently but the stuff that I cared about were the technical specifications: how much light it blocks, thermal properties, noise reduction, etc. What should I be looking for instead?
For city driving yes, but I find that long highways are basically automatic.
Me neither.

What did surprise me was his affiliation with YC, and the silent way the relationship was ended. I'm not sure we ever got closure what all that was about.

Yeah, Don Johnson used to wear them on Miami Vice back in the day.
It looks like right before that happened, you pushed up on a stick to the right of the steering wheel. Did that put it in reverse? Anyone with a tesla comment?

Solar is getting so much cheaper, at such a fast pace, that I really don't understand how one can disagree that it's the future of our energy grids. Installing solar is a no-brainer in some parts of the world now, and in the very near future (extrapolating from the last 10 years), it'll be every part of the world soon.

What problems am I hand waving away?

How is that different from the desktop app? All the code and runtime data is visible to anyone running under the same uid, or the superuser.
I could only find the changelog for the previous March 2021 release, what's changed in this release?
That's true. But moving in with somebody is high risk. You often need to practice at just being in a relationship and get good at that first.

What is the average number of romantic partners that a person lives with in their life? It probably isn't that high.
Won't parked domains be all 2XX? But those are hardly "alive"
These apps will be booted off the store (look at Epic), bye-bye revenue
I feel that's a knee-jerk assertion.

Is no value assigned to the truly amazing custom silicon that sips power while efficiently supporting an instruction set that, in turn, supports developers external and internal?

Is no value assigned to the work that goes into evolving with the wireless network standards? Those are internal people, generally with decade+ hardcore engineering backgrounds.
This is absolutely not a "typical postdoctoral salary", and hasn't been for more than two decades. Most major research institutions follow NIH guidelines for postdoc salaries:

Glassdoor is like Yelp, bad reviews can be scrubbed for a price. Companies like these may have a noble mission at the start, but housing people's reviews isnt' profitable. Acting as a PR firm however, is.
Well, I know some really biologists who code really well, but you're right only pharma/medicine are likely to pay off your college debts, the first requires a lot of luck, and the other a lot more school. Biology is well known to be a terrible investment (by people in gradschool).
Obviously, it is a bit silly to point to the sun and say it's a successful fusion reactor in a discussion meant to refute solar's usefulness. Despite that, it is an example of the principles of fusion working quite reliably, and it should stand to reason that having smaller sun-like power sources would be preferable to relying on a single fusion reactor that's only available half of the time.

Why does it require the most expensive model?
