I'm not sure there were ever consumer TLC SSDs that didn't use SLC caching (except for a handful that use MLC caching). SLC caching was starting to show up even in some MLC drives when the market was transitioning from MLC to TLC, and now there are even some enterprise drives that use SLC caching.
Bash truly shouldn't be used for a bunch of scripting tasks.

Quite simply I don't think you should ever start using shell scripts in your code base in any capacity

Eventually you're going to reach something you just don't want to do in Bash, and suddenly now you've got two scripting languages in your codebase?

Don't think you want that trouble. Start with a scripting language with decent control structures on day 1 and never have to worry about refactoring.

No anything with laws similar to the "cloud act", which is the norm rather then the exception, is illegal. It's quite rare for a country to allow companies inside it to say no to there government.
It depends on what you are cooking. While I use plenty of EVOO, I also use a fair amount of refined avocado oil (high temp, neutral flavor) and butter. There are many cooking contexts where the latter two are quite arguably the superior choice, either for flavor or performance reasons.

Right tool for the job and all that. There isn't one cooking oil that serves all purposes adequately.

I'm 41. Things that consistently reduce my anxiety:

- Slow breathing. Count to four for each step: inhale, pause, exhale, pause.

- Cardio exercise

- Talking with my partner about anything.

- Physical intimacy

- Five full cycles of sleep every night. You have to measure this with a device.

- Being in nature

- Spending time with friends

- Acetylcysteine (NAC) 14mg/kg per day. I started taking this a week ago. It feels like somebody turned down my emotions from 11 to 3. I still feel the same emotions, but their intensity is reduced.

- Vipassana meditation. I took the free 10-day "Goenka" course and learned the skill. Then I worked through some things, which was a lot of work. The payoff is in reducing the time and energy I spend ruminating. The meditation skill is also useful for dealing with stress.

- Therapy

- Having money in the bank

Things that increase my anxiety:

- Caffeine. Caffeine's effect is cumulative for me, building up to a maximum over about a week. If you suffer from anxiety and you use caffeine, stop immediately and completely forever. Quitting caffeine and feeling better takes about a month.

- Alcohol

- Noise. Vehicles with fake mufflers.

- Sudden loud noises. Vehicle horns and revving engines with fake mufflers. Sudden loud ring tones when using headphones. Sudden alarms. Set your phone's alarm to start quietly and slowly increase in volume.

- Dark-themed tv

- Staying up late

- Ruminating

- Sugar

Good luck to you!
I've seen a similar trend in my experience as well. I'd love to see some peer reviewed research on the link between intermittent fasting and deeper sleep.

I feel terrible for the middle class. Even as me being higher income tech individual (six figures) with a spouse who is a teacher in the Midwest, it would be hard for us to buy a comparable or larger house today in the same area if we hadn’t purchased it in 2012.

If you are an investor, an argument can be made that we are in a period of true negative interest rates on homes see: https://www.financialsamurai.com/negative-real-mortgage-rate... ). This further incentives real estate prices to climb.
Technology connections had a video showing a large e-ink playing video, and it was 3-5FPS, so unless your use case is "videos and games" e-ink is already plenty fast.

It's even faster if you let it manage its own pixels and only update parts of the screen that need to be redrawn. Can't play videos like that but scrolling a spreadsheet becomes much faster.
Sure you’re not a gamer, but have you tried using a 120hz/240hz monitor for a week? I think you’ll find that it’s almost as massive an upgrade as going from 1080p to 4K.

Going back to 60hz is painful. You’ll see the cursor moving in a rotating square pattern when you’re moving your mouse in a circle. The lag is palpable.

People get this confused. The Boring company has nothing to do with this company called Virgin Hyperloop.

The Boring company is working on what they call a 'Loop', not a 'Hyperloop'. A Loop is just a tunnel with some form of battery electric pod inside of it. Its not a vacuum.

I'm sure at some point in the future when they have improved tunneling they would consider trying to do a vacuum tunnel but this is not what they are working on now.

So much of the history of computing is weird with little, brilliant dead ends like this. I wonder if we're past a point in computing where "I didn't know it was hard" is a valid reason to come up with something entirely novel.

I really miss Seattle's Living Computer Museum, because it was full of reminders of how strange our computing history was. In most ways, we've never had it as good as we have it now, but every so often looking back yields some surprises.
> Why not just remove the physical windshield wiper controls, try to make them automatic

FWIW, 25 years ago, I had some generic assignment when I was student, I don't remember the exact details, but I made it on auto-windshield wiping tech, and what I found was that multiple patents already existed back then (one from Mercedes or BMW, I don't remember which ; it might have been both). I'm mystified that we aren't seeing those everywhere yet.

> While it’s tempting for many to explain it all as “Putin is behind every decision in Russia and eveyone is a puppet”, this is a more serious situation.

It is not just tempting; it is factually correct. Putin manufactured the separatist movement in eastern Ukraine as a justification for his invasion. It is astroturfed, not a grassroots issue.

It's also easy to see places with true separatist movements (Ireland or Spain, for example) that aren't propped up by neighboring dictators. So Putin could have (and should have) ignored any Ukrainian separatists.
Of course, but is fulfilling your social needs a requirement for being a good teammate? And does the team have any responsibility to me to allow me to work in a comfortable environment (from home)?
If we are going to design something new, we should probably start with the WYSYWIG editor and only then design the actual data format.

If we want machine readable data we should think first about how it will be authored. Maybe our new format has Excel style tables, and Mustache templates that can read them, so that we can just drop in a table view widget in the editor and customize it, filter it, let users sort it, etc.

Maybe our tables have a type UUID for identifying what the table layout is.

I once encountered a doppelgänger of my own when I was 19.

Dude showed up at a youth group I spent a lot of time with. He dressed and looked very much like me, it was totally unnerving. I was surprised how unsettled by it I was.

We never spoke. People asked us about it (well I assume they asked him too) and I would say indecisive stuff like “yeah it is weird” and change the subject.

I think we both understood that it was just too weird and if we were even more alike, or one was better than the other… better to not know.

Sometimes I wonder if he was me in the future, a time traveler.
Sure, but besides the 5 studies the paper reviews, there's quite a few other papers that have covered this topic. And despite difficulties in acquiring high quality data for these types of analyses, none of those studies have found evidence against the claim

This isn't like psychology (which is at the heart of the replication crisis) where studies are really expensive (human subjects have a lot of regulation around them) and are usually only done once. This is something that has been replicated, at varying degrees of quality, quite a few times
While skimming did I miss an example of code that is portable between most of these systems? I'd love to see that because I'm having a very hard time believing that's possible. Or maybe you can make something that will technically compile and function on any of those, but if it doesn't perform reasonably then it's really hard to call the portability aspect a success.

Also you're very limited as to what you can actually do in ANSI C. You're going to need to start poking directly at the hardware which is not going to be portable. Hell, even stuff like checking if a letter is within a certain range in the English alphabet might not work between machines. Letters might not be contiguous in the machine's native character encoding.

"The new study may be a final blow to destiny implications formed in marshmallow test research,"

The broader implications with respect to the 'integrity' of the scientific work in various disciplines here is almost the whole story.

That we can't count on 'the marshmellow' test is marginal relative to how these issues add up and how we don't seem to have a strategy or set of tactics to address the reality of the 'fuzziness' of science, especially in an era where we need to convince people that 'vaccines are safe'.

I don't agree with dang's thesis that the generalisation is 'shallow'. I think the generalisation is the story here. It's the new, perennial issue. We are witnessing a new phase in the evolution of Enlightenment values particularly because we are coming to terms with the reality of a lot of what is being published these days, it's the heart of the matter. We need much more dialogue about this, especially institutionally.
I know Shriram very well, he and Kathi do excellent work and as I said they are focused on more valuable projects than trying to prove one language is superior to another for CS1. They are building tools and curricula, and have done some research that sheds some light on the tradeoffs in using certain languages like Racket. Kathi's "Rainfall Accumulates" paper is one of the few papers that gets close to work in the space I am talking about. Shriram's analyses often leave me stunned at just how sharp that guy is, and helps remind me that CS Ed really needs to level up its game.

That said, the HtDP curriculum that they were involved in, and led to Bootstrap and a host of their other projects, was not grounded in any kind of data collection or treated as an empirical research project. Smart people with good intentions built something and threw it into a classroom. Intentionally so, by design [1].

Their subsequent work with Pyret is much better grounded and well-informed, and I've been absolutely fascinated by it. Their data science curriculum delights me, and I have often thought that if I had more time I'd translate it to Python. I think their more recent proposal about a Table Abstract Data Type is just inspired. But we are still VERY far from ever proving things like, "Racket is easier for students to learn". I'm fairly sure it's not even worth doing.

I appreciate the original article was just one student's perspective. It's a perspective I don't entirely disagree with. Nonetheless, they make interesting claims not backed by any kind of published, empirical data. They hypothesize that Racket is virtuous to learn because of how it presents recursion, and because of its simplistic syntax. Cool theory, but not proven using Randomized Controlled Studies. I mean, most things in CS Ed aren't, so I don't think it's a surprising thing to point out. But that doesn't mean we should just sit back and accept these claims.

Personally, I have seen the HtDP curriculum do damage. I have also seen it firsthand do a lot of good. My Racket relationship is complicated [2]. The author makes a great point of the potential value of these models, and also mentions how this whole debate is sort of pointless. I believe that at the end of the day, the CS1 language is simultaneously very important and yet somehow unimportant - it's all just the psychology of the people involved. That, too, is an unsubstantiated claim.

But please, tell me more about how I have not done my due diligence. Would you like to cite some actual RCT papers that back up the claims founding all this stuff? Or do you want to keep citing textbooks like that somehow proves something?

And the damage done to consumers would also be enormous.

For whatever faults they might have, the regulations are intended to protect consumers, not harm them with a scorched earth plan out of a libertarian fantasy.

There are plenty of ways you can punish a company for wrongdoing without risking the consumer as much as that idea would.

Also, a book is only passive learning, so depending on your learning style, it May not prepare you enough for real world interaction. Look into experiential learning, like taking a communications class. Toastmasters is also good. As others have mentioned, active listening... stop trying to solve the problem and just listen to what they are saying, hang on every word, and check in with them every once in a while, just to see how they are or just to see if what you're hearing is what they are saying.
when https://twitter.com/cavallokristen referenced the slide numbers from the pitch deck and dates the client reviewed, that’s basically saying COIN stole the idea. I wonder if they tried to settle this amicably, before taking it to Twitter. If there never was attempt to resolve this in private, that would seem like poor form.
I think thats more opinion than objective ground truth, but it may have been sane in some senses. It also probably would have led to other problems. Absent a time machine, I think we're probably down to the differential stats between states and territories with and without high vaccination rates, and compulsion.

This is going to ring on for decades. Its linear optimisation, what-if big stuff, the epidemiology is going to go on and on. Surplus mortality stats are only just rolling in, worldwide.

I don't personally believe in the conspiracy side of this, what I am trying to say is I agree politically, compulsion fed it. Had I been in office, I probably would have voted for compulsion but I would have voted for compulsory return of weapons and a bunch of other laws too, so I am probably sin-binned on those grounds.

I'm not opposed to compulsion per-se. Historically, It's narrow, but (I believe) neccessary from time to time. Lots of people don't agree, thats probably the root problem here: The limits of reach in the state, and how people react to it.
I would personally leave this kind of testing to the pros, like Phoronix, Gamers Nexus, etc. LTT is a facade for useful performance testing and understanding of hardware issues.

"Cut nails", the traditional wedge shaped ones, cut the fibers as the nail goes in. Modern wire nails, with their sharp points, shove the fibers to the sides, increasing the risk of splitting.

Additionally, the fibers cut by the traditional nails form a natural wedge, making those nails far harder to pull out.

You can improve the performance of a wire nail by simply blunting the tip with a hammer.

A lot of early Win32 code was originally Win16 code - you could in theory have the same code target both. I think that encouraged everyone to favor long / DWORD when they wanted a 32-bit integer even once the 16-bit compilers were receding into the distance.
You know, I don’t doubt you’re right - I only used it for a couple small projects. It could be that I’m bad at reading the manual. It could also be that the mediocre typescript support was getting in my way too much - that part was very frustrating.

I don’t think of it as a direct comparison to react or the react community though. There are other frameworks like it though and in my experience, it is better than they are. I guess what it came down to was that when I was confined to ember conventions, it seemed like I could often do so much more with other tools, with fewer constraints and restrictions. I suppose what the framework offered that the individual libraries didn’t wasn’t very useful to me.

Frameworks always come with trade offs and sometimes conventions are a great thing to trade for. A large team sharing an ember code base might actually be more productive than one using an ad hoc framework of all the other tools I like.

Back when I used symfony in php land for example (comparable to laravel), I loved its conventions in the context of a large team and rarely thought about the times it got in the way.
I disagree in the very strongest terms.

We barely have any concept of how education has penetrated our society, to a far greater degree, now than fifty years ago.

We as a population are FAR more educated, far less ignorant, and generally speaking extraordinarily better off in our daily lives than in the past.

It's only because the phenomenon of social media, which has crowd sourced ignorance and hurled it in front of our eyes, that we perceive we're in an unenlighted age/trajectory.
Back in medieval times, monasteries full of monks would painstakingly create copies of books by hand, letter by letter. In the late medieval period, Xerox ran a commercial showing a Xerox machine being delivered to a monastery, followed by a monk raising his eyes upwards in thanks as the machine cranked out perfect copies.
I love url shorteners as development projects. So GZ on launching one!

Looks A+ (am a fan of simplicity)

Haven't been able to test it yet. It allows me to create a short url but the input field either lets me mark the domain or the code but not both (Mac M1 2020, Chrome) and when I manually go to the link it just shows I am rate-limited.

- When visiting the GraphQL and Rest API's I get a rate-limit notification (in CA, US)

- Its not clear where and how you can get your own instance running, so having a URL to the GitHub repo in the settings next to the input would be nice. Having to find it via the CLI link and then going to the repo via the account is a bit to "hidden" imo. (am just a lazy person)
I'm building pagespace.app, a platform to create, publish and sell longer form rich content. The vision is a cross between Substack and Github.

I mention Github because much like code, good content and knowledge should change and improve over time and have lots of commits and pull requests.

I mention Substack as users can subscribe to authors (they can also buy individual books).
> There seems to be no benefit in using any tax advantaged accounts if, say for instance, you wanted to retire at 35.

I have a ~110 PPI monitor (the currently ever so popular 2560×1440 at 27"), and the first thing I'd change about this would be to have it be around 90-95 PPI like all the monitors I've had since the 90s. There's not a single website I use regularly that I wouldn't have zoomed in just a little bit because all the text is just a tiny bit too small to comfortably read (I spend far too much time in front of a monitor to have it any closer to me). The smaller pixel pitch in turn seems to offer no added value at all. (At home I have my old 1920×1200/24" display as a secondary, and all the default-sized content just seem to agree better with that combo.)

I'd gladly take a monitor like this at 2× the resolution of course (so 5K), but again, if I could choose, not at 27" but at 30".
It wasn't all that long ago that cut-and-paste literally meant cut with scissors and paste with glue.

It certainly seems barbaric today.
PWM+capacitor is not an adjustable DC supply. You also need an inductor to do that: https://electronics.stackexchange.com/a/31714/15654

Of course the wires have resistance so it would technically “work” as an RC filtered PWM until it overheats.

PWM dimming means turning the LEDs on and off without any smoothing.
Other trackers don't have a backdoor into a global network of a billion iOS devices in order to relay the device's location to a cellular network, and thus, the original owner.
