This is probably going to cost me, but what the heck, I'll do it anyway...

I would posit that you might want to reconsider your definition of "marketing." That is to say, there is a (lot) more to marketing than just "campaigns" that spam people via email, phone, Twitter, etc. or FB ads, Reddit ads, Adwords, and suchlike.

Consider the following:

Marketing is currently defined by the American Marketing Association (AMA) as "the activity, set of institutions, and processes for creating, communicating, delivering, and exchanging offerings that have value for customers, clients, partners, and society at large".[1]

If you accept this definition, you are already doing some "marketing" simply by the act of choosing what to build, and by building it!

Maybe what you really find distasteful is "promotion" which is just a subset of marketing. If so, I'd still posit that you might want to reconsider your feelings a bit. "Promotion" includes everything you do to make people aware that you product exists, and to convey its value to people. If you tell your best friend "Hey, I make this $THING, do you know anybody who might like it", you're already engaging in (very lightweight) promotion. And maybe more to the point, it's very unlikely you're going to make money from your side project without some kind of promotion.

Maybe what you're really railing against is tasteless, generic, low-value, untargeted, spammy promotion? If so, the question is how can you promote your product without engaging in activities that are "tasteless, generic, low-value, untargeted, and spammy". That's tough to answer because it's kinda subjective, but give it some thought, you mind find that you can find a compromise position that works for you.

Another possibility - you might be able to find someone who is particularly interested in / good at, marketing and promotion activities, and partner up with them somehow.

Not exactly. Cache as Ram is used for stack/temp storage until proper ram is initialized. Code itself runs from flash until optional bios caching is turned on in the chipset.
> However, when mentioning the "nanometers" process node as evidence for scaling (it was unclear to me whether you said that it implied shrinking, or there had been some shrinking in between the two),

No, my intention was actually converse of that, saying that transistors still shink, even in leading edge nodes today, despite popular perception.

> I feel like I have to mention that transistors haven't been meaningfully shrunk for years, although there have been plenty of innovations regarding their layout, and photolithography processes have gained in precision.

TSMC 7nm->5nm increased transistor density by 80%. There were other changes to minimum cell size too, but both are 6T in this case so the overall device that can operate as a transistor in a VLSI does absolutely shrink.

Dennard scaling ending isn't about not shrinking, it's about power density going up. Even then things are not standing still, practical designs absolutely get denser and do more work even in the logic parts of the design. It's just doesn't double every couple of years anymore.
I was just about to say the same! The further you scroll, the better it gets:

> What do you mean by "the worst case for LSM trees"?

For write amplification.

> If you use a log-structured B-tree approach so MVCC is convenient...

You just hamstrung your B-tree for conscience to implement a single model, but regardless: I never claimed that B-trees were faster at writes than LSM-trees. I instead claimed that I don't understand where all of these write-dominated use cases are coming from as the world seems to be full of read-dominated services.

> And that's why, on one machine I tested on, LevelDB could insert 300'000 key-value pairs per second while Postgres manages about 3000 and SQLite about 17000.

I mean, this is clearly an unfair comparison by your own math: you need to keep running this for a long enough time that you can amortize into your calculations the cost of compactions (for LevelDB) and vacuums (PostgreSQL).
Third party vendors might want to do that, but I think it's a lot easier to imagine and to say than to execute.

What does it cost a utility to add e.g. read-only OAuth token support to their customer-facing app?

FWIU, it's pretty easy to add OAuth support to any HTTP API endpoint with e.g. Nginx auth_request or by integrating an OAuth library with automated tests into the application at the url routes, if nothing else.

Do you have a "Guide for utilities who want users to have a safe third-party read-only API", a Developer portal, or like a decision tree for which script to read a decision-maker or a front-line lackey who doesn't know anything about APIs?

Women as an "interest group" have been incredible at PR this last century. Men, on the other hand, have yet to realize that they can't coast on the existing historic momentum and have to start speaking up.

It doesn't help that folks who attempt to represent men's rights are instantly smeared as either pathetic incel losers, or as alt-right oppressor misogynists. There's no in-between that I'm aware of. From what I can tell, shame is the main weapon used against men who claim that men's rights have a justifiable place in society.

No healthy "meninism" exists as of today the same way it does for women, and I suspect this is causing all sorts of problems.

Get plugged into the local community. No matter if you have wildly different incomes and political backgrounds, you'll find something in common if you socialize long enough.

Introduce yourself to the neighbors. Spend time at the local bar (there's always a bar). Make an effort to connect with the people you'll interact with the most, and they'll start to connect you to the rest of the community.
I think you're forgetting the term "tend". Even in Iran my expectation is that if you were to repeat the experiment from the featured article you would get similar results.

I assume though that Iran has a smaller portion of the population in college and that men are preferentially pursuing political or theological power over STEM education. Of course, these are assumptions which is why I'm asking questions to understand better.

Do you think that in Iran their children's books more prominently feature female scientists?
I am very skeptical that ~50% of all men in the US know what thermistor means. The Methods section is not clear about whether people who "indicated" they knew a word actually did know what the word meant.

My skepticism applies equally to several of the words chosen as indices of rare comprehension: "The percentages of people indicating they knew the word ranged from 2% (for stotinka, adyta, kahikatea, gomuti, arseniuret, alsike, . . .)"

I strongly doubt that 1 in 50 randomly selected people could define "kahikatea" or "arseniuret."
I would love to see this for Wikipedia articles, but based on age, not gender. E.g. "This fact is known by 95% of people at age 21".
This feels a little close to home, although in different ways.

I can't say I feel exactly the same. I had a good home growing up mostly (although suffered abuse by those outside the home, in the sense that people went to prison), good family, and have done well in some fundamental ways. But later in my career I ran into some serious problems working in a pretty bad place, and people (friends, colleagues, family) blew me off when I was basically pleading for help (mostly because I had been doing so well before then and I think they figured I had nothing to worry about?). The short version is that the environment became abusive and dysfunctional (I see reports of similar institutions' management getting fired very publicly for behaving the same way) and I probably didn't respond to it well. I could get into ways in which I would have responded differently now, but part of my conflict is I'm not sure if it would have actually been better. I see my friends in places they probably should be, doing well, and know I could be in the same sort of places but screwed up, not taking advantages I had. I end up feeling like a failure for not doing things that now seem obvious in hindsight, but also am kind of aware of the circumstances and how different they were from those of people I know, and know some of them would have reacted the same. Most of the time I go back and forth between being hating myself, angry at others for not being helpful at a critical time, angry at society for being so superficial in not recognizing these things, and not being more understanding and seeing potential with second chances. I have trouble sleeping most nights because of it.

I'm not sure I have a lot of advice to offer because I feel lost myself. But you're not alone.

I do think it's worthwhile to think about what you would have liked to do and why, and to figure out what steps it would take to happen. Even if you can reclaim some part of that, wouldn't that be better? Start another degree, or reach out to some researchers to see if they need help, or write that book or start the blog, or make a prototype app or whatever it is. I have no idea because I don't know what it is you'd want.

I do think it's important not to get into the success trap. I know some people who are objectively very successful at what they do, but who have been very unhappy personally, or who got there through questionable means. Part of my current circumstance is because I was tired of the corruption around me, and wanted out. So it's better to think about what you would like to be different, what would bring you reward, rather than what would bring you success per se. I think people can be kind of cliched about that and unhelpful, as if success shouldn't matter, and that's not necessarily what I mean. I just mean I think it's as important to think about what you would like to be spending your time doing as it is to think about achievements.

I don't know. I wish I had answers myself. Life is more unfair than society recognizes, and I'm tired of people who say that being treated as if it's just sour grapes. People get a raw deal sometimes, period.
> EVERY single modern laptop has a video decode IC that is optimized for mobile usage

Mobile as in Laptop or Smartphone? Early Intel CPU requires 2W+ for AV1 4K60 content hardware decode. That is not in any shape or form "optimized for mobile usage" in my book when. A 500mW or 1W Hardware Decoding on SmartTV is not really "optimized for mobile usage" in my book. Or do you want to look at GPU Hardware accelerated Motion JPEG2000 decode? Which has even more absurd number.

And what has sharing iGPU design got to do with Video Decoder IP? ( If you are referring to Samsung and AMD ) The point is A video decoder that uses 500mW on Laptop is still more than 150mW on Smartphone.

I think many (most?) hardware companies just don't understand/appreciate software. They look at it like just another line item on the BOM: 152 screws from supplier X, various plastic parts from supplier Y, a rubber gasket from supplier Z, and, oh yea, some software. Find the bucket of software and scoop some out to flash onto the device.

They don't see software as an ecosystem, as the actual product that the user interacts with, as their brand differentiation. They see it as a costly problem that they must solve by finding the cheapest viable bag of bits they can throw on devices and not have customers return it the first day. I swear that's the quality bar for some of these companies.

That's how we get TVs that take 5 seconds to recognize a button press, and have UIs that look like they were made from clipart. Proper font kerning? Forget it, they use 16x8 bitmap fonts from the '90s. That's how we get IoT devices that are 0wned the second they connect to the Internet. That's how we get car stereos that display "����������" when you try to play a media file with non-ASCII characters in the name. Many hardware companies don't give a single shit about their software's quality--only that it's cheap and barely works and it keeps the BOM cost low.

If the people employing nannies didn’t have more money than their employees the relationship wouldn’t exist at all. The only way I’m familiar with middle class young women nannying is as au pairs, in other countries. But there are people who nanny for decades. They are not the same social class as their employers.

My own experience of living in Europe is confined to Germany but middle class German girls mostly don’t even work part time jobs in university, never mind taking a year off before university to work as an au pair, in a foreign country. They do not nanny. Spanish friends made it sound like the same was true in Spain too. Students do not have jobs at university.

> They were doing exactly what they should to tamp down crazy far right wing propaganda that was aimed at incentivizing the public towards violence against asians.

What you've just said is baseless. Nobody "aimed" this theory. The theory simply came into being because it is plausible, probable, and just made sense if you looked at the facts of the situation objectively.

The lab leak theory was plausible from Day One, and anyone who said otherwise was motivated by ideology or fear.

> If you had evidence of a lab leak then present it and then you can promote a theory that is likely to result in violence towards individuals otherwise please keep it to yourself until you have proof

There is more evidence of a lab leak than there is of a zoonotic jump (none).
As for autoscaling, our hands are tied as long as we're running on Nomad. Right now our autoscaler is nothing more than some ruby that loops over data from prometheus and changes counts in Nomad. It's slow and buggy, but worse we don't have control over where Nomad places VMs or which ones it stops when scaling down.

We're working on a replacement for Nomad (called flyd) that gives us full control over VMs. Once apps are running on that we can do a lot of cool things. Better autoscaling is one, but I'm really excited about suspending idle VMs that our proxy wakes up on demand. That'll cover most use cases without forcing customers to worry about counts or blowing through a budget.

Having no career advancement is sometimes like not having cancer: a net positive. Most people have no career at all, they retire on the same job (just more "senior") they started with. For them, there is no loss.

Sorry but what molecular evidence suggests it evolved in the wild, exactly? We haven’t identified a single predecessor mutation between the original bat Coronavirus and SARS-CoV-2, nor have we identified infections from the time period that are geographically between the habitat of the carrier bats and Wuhan. No one is disputing that it’s based on a bat coronavirus, but the thesis is that the bay coronavirus was modified in the lab and then leaked.

Thank you for actually trying to answer my question rather than attempting to provide lopsided implementation arguments.

The old answer, for those curious, was a padding-bottom with the aspect ratio expressed as a percentage: https://jsfiddle.net/9yLkm0tu/

This works because padding percentages are calculated based on width – making this, at the time, the only practical way to form a relationship between an element's height and width. Thierry Koblentz coined this "intrinsic ratios" back in '09: https://alistapart.com/article/creating-intrinsic-ratios-for...

Some people call it a hack – it's just a narrow application of the spec.

> It was denounced because at the time there wasn't any evidence

There was, and is, no evidence of the theory that it originated from a zoonotic leap at a wet market, which is arguably more racist because it places Chinese culinary practices in the spotlight instead of risky science experiments.

It was denounced because the scientists (like Peter Daszak) who were cited by the media in stifling the theory were the same scientists who were backing the risky research at the Wuhan Institute of Virology that likely lead to the lab leak. There was a clear conflict of interest that was undisclosed to the public.
Yeah they kind of run the gamut from "you can look this up on LinkedIn" (company size) to ones I'd defer to the CFO "Any plans to sell?" where I doubt you'd get an answer.
