I'm fine with this when it's some freestanding native-compiled C+DirectX application.

But it really irritates me when the Windows version is, after all, just a bunch of scripts loaded into a scripting runtime (think e.g. Love2D, or RenPy); but then the first-party macOS/Linux downloads turn out to be WINE wrappers wrapping the Windows version of the scripting runtime, rather than using the macOS/Linux versions of the scripting runtime.

I get that people don't always have multiplatform development setups; and that there are easy-to-use tools that "wrap" a Windows application into macOS/Linux versions. But these runtimes usually also have cross-"compilation" options that are just as easy to use!
In the past the fog of war was thick. It may be weeks or months before knowledge of certain battles would make its ways to civilian sources and militaries had much more control over what the press published.

Now we can even see some battles live streamed, but at the same time (counter)-intelligence operations can be directly viewed by the end user. As always the question of what we are seeing being spun with a false narrative or is it even real at all remains.

I saw the future and it was weird.

You obviously have absolutely no idea what you are talking about.

The Geneva Convention is not at all a bare minimum, it provides POWs with far more rights than what are usually afforded to regular prisoners.
Ivar Ekeland's The Best of All Possible Worlds

> "Ivar Ekeland takes readers on a journey through scientific attempts to envision the best of all possible worlds. He begins with the French mathematician Maupertuis, whose least action principle [...] was a pivotal breakthrough in science, because it was the first expression of the concept of optimization, or the design of systems that are the most efficient or functional. [...] Tracing the profound impact of optimization and the unexpected ways in which it has influenced the study of mathematics, biology, economics, and even politics, Ekeland reveals throughout how the idea of optimization has driven some of our greatest intellectual breakthroughs..."

Very readable style, and a lot of historical context around the names of scientists I've only heard in passing.
This is absolutely true for me, but for me it is somewhat of a difference between improving the product (donations) or having to answer actual support emails (paid product). The former I do for fun, the latter I really need people for because it takes up all your time. And that is a company/job and not a side project.
I want people to benefit from it. My contributions will be a tiny drop in a vast ocean of noise of humanity and that's OK. Several people, NGOs and charities already make use of my projects, and that gives me a sense of fulfillment.
> holy crap, that plays into my theory that he is testing the nato, really the world.

Yep, you see this with MH17 (which I think was an accident, but the communication afterwards was not), Russian athletes cheating brazenly etc.
>By the way, don't expect AMD to act any better. Remember that they're the company bringing you Pluton: quoted from the article, "Pluton will also prevent people from running software that has been modified without the permission of developers." It wouldn't be surprising to see AMD's Platform Security Processor pick up additional lock-in capabilities to reinforce this and other vendor controls.

So the title should be Intel and AMD are getting worse.

Thanks, I hadn't seen that site.

In my view, this site is strong evidence for the thesis that demand for GPUs will plummet, here's why:

1) If we tweak your link to sort by Market Cap, we can see the next biggest coin to mine after ETH is has only 1% of ETH's market cap https://shorturl.at/lxLS5

2) These smaller coins do not have the capability to automatically or naturally grow bigger market caps, trading volumes, and buy-side demand just because ETH switches to PoS. Mining profitability ultimately comes from a coin's buy-side demand, which is proportional to many things-- fame, developer activity, etc.-- and none of the PoW chains in that list are anywhere remotely close to "breaking out" and growing proportionally with Ethereum, or, say, Solana. How do I know this? Well, I'm an insider that focuses all of his time on ethereum and web3, you'll have to take my word for it :)

Observation of the enemy's propaganda is an essential portal for information.

Unfortunately, the great mass of any viewing public lacks the necessary filtering skills to extract useful signal from the torrent of disinformation. So we're back to blanket censorship.
Linux has stable userland ABI. I managed to run a gui binary from Slackware 12 (from 2007) in a chroot and it worked completely fine. It didn't have modern theming or HiDPI support but it worked fine.

Windows apps running via wine and old linux apps running via chroot or any other container (AppImage, snap or Flatpak) all work.

The problem is not having specific (major) versions of old libraries in the new OS. If you manage to install them, they will work - this is difficult in most distributions.
That may be true, but if companies don't pay me for passive "work" I do for them during that downtime, then why worry about its effectiveness?

Part time work for developers would also help women who don’t want to work full time when they have small children. If I had a part time option when my children were small, I would have embraced it. My career was thriving, but there was no “step back” option for me. If you want more women in tech, recognize that the first shift of daycare & school prep, the second shift of work, and the third shift of cooking, cleaning, and caring, is exhausting and unpleasant, even when both parents try to share the burden.
Is there still as yet no Linux-native reimplementation of Winamp? (in the sense that it's a lightweight program that 1. plays music and 2. loads Winamp skins + faithfully renders its UI using them, presumably being designed from the ground up primarily to use Winamp skins.)

That's doubly-surprising, given that there's already a web reimplementation of Winamp (https://webamp.org/) that does those things. (And it's "lightweight" in terms of not pulling in any JS frameworks; but not especially "lightweight" in terms of you needing a full web browser to run it.)
Evolution of Shopify by Tobi Lütke
It depends on how long before you look. In 1990s they were fairly popular as the smaller devices were expensive and small screens were hard on the users and custom development was not as easy, so field data entry was often with some b&w tablet, often connected to a portable printer and other accessories.
Fun theory: the only reason the USD has intrinsic value is because it is required for paying taxes for anyone living or doing business in the United States. It puts a legally-mandated floor on the demand for the dollar and provides the assurance that whatever happens in the world, as long as the US government is still standing and the US is an important place to do business, there will be demand for dollars.

If the federal government ever allows other forms of payment for taxes, the USD would be able go to zero as easily as any crypto can today.
"Cyclically, with so much labor and education shifting online, the pandemic has unleashed strong pent-up demand for electronic products."

It's not "pent-up" demand, it's new demand. It would be "pent-up" if people hadn't been allowed or able to purchase before, but now they are. The shifting of labor and education online, if it is a major factor at all, would be creating new demand.

"The stockpiling that we saw in 2021 has also resulted in transportation bottlenecks."

There are many reasons for the transportation bottlenecks, but stockpiling is a best a minor one, and more likely not really a reason at all. If anything, it works the opposite way, with transportation bottlenecks resulting in stockpiling, as buyers know they cannot assume it will always be available to buy Just In Time.

"Structurally, electrification, such as the mass production of electric vehicles, and digitalization need semiconductors, mostly of the high-end variety..."

Vehicles, in particular, need a lot more semiconductors that are _not_ "high-end", which is why Intel couldn't use its spare capacity to help out the auto industry as much as they wanted to; their fabs were actually too modern to make the higher-voltage, larger-dimension semiconductors that the auto industry needed, mostly made in older fabs.

Ok, three factually inaccurate statements in a row, I am giving the rest of the article a pass.

UPenn is a well regarded school. Its business school is generally regarded to be the best of the lot. Wharton professors are generally not on the receiving side of elitism. This research is simply very low quality. It maybe gratifies a certain sensibility. We all know that using our phones too much can be a problem and this research makes for a pithy form of name calling. But beyond a quick insult against a perceived threat the core thesis just makes no sense in light of the past 50 years of research on psychology and media.
Don't you? In Java I still had to create the Singleton/Constructor/Factory etc. and register it with the framework as a provider of that type.
As someone who's hired part-time developers off and on for years.... the issue is that they typically start out working the agreed-upon number of hours, then begin to work less & less over time. There's no feasible way to make someone work more hours remotely, and they're usually sharp enough to get partway into a project before flaking out so that it's difficult to just replace them- you'd have to hire an entirely new developer to understand what they've done to date. From the developers' point of view I think they're just constantly looking for new work, better-paying work, or at least lining up a project for the future- then they get overloaded and choose to flake out on the client.

In theory hiring freelancers part-time should be a great solution for everyone involved, in practice the issue is flakiness

I think by "investigating a design" he means looking at how a component or system is structured to understand how it works. This is pretty common as a lot of developers will get called to work on a piece of infrastructure that they aren't familiar with. They have to understand what they're working on so they apply an effective change

Also, documentation is huge. I've worked with a lot of small companies and startups that have adopted it to share knowledge and to ease troubleshooting/onboarding. If you aren't doing it at work, consider it. There are a lot of approaches to it, such as self-documenting code, writing knowledgebase articles, recording demo videos, leaving contextual details in PRs, and even simply linking these pieces together so they're easy to find

This is like the old saying that the best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.

No one can change the past, so shoring up defenses now is better than waiting until later, especially when the need might be more acute and it is actually too late.
This is the risk countries take on when they willingly and openly break treaties they entered into. Particularly those that maintain local, regional or world peace.
> Contrast that with when I gave up and decided to make myself available for full-time (remote) work. In the span of about 5 weeks, I got over 200 recruiter emails, interviewed at 10 companies, and received 10 offers, mostly in the upper end of the $200k-400k range.

The secret is to take a full time job and then only work 20-30 hours a week. Pre-pandemic I was only really productive 4 hours a day anyways, but I had to sit in an office the entire day. With remote work, it’s much easier to do “full-time” work.

NSA is regularly claimed to be the employer of the largest number of mathematicians in the world.

The reason we don’t know about the NSA analysis is that the law doesn’t require NSA to analyze the winners and then make the results public.

If Ward can do it and make it public, that’s wonderful and we should thank him. Thank you Ward!

We can’t say the same about NSA. This is really a problem and we should be able to rely on NSA to break such schemes and to deliver the result openly to NIST. It’s unbelievable that this isn’t the case and rather we have to rely on some nice guy with a weekend of laptop time.
I watch an absurd amount of cooking YouTube, and I follow a bunch of creators for different reasons. They each have their appeal:

- Kenji → got into him because of Food Lab optimization articles, but discovered I enjoyed the unique perspective of his food videos done in real-time first-person

- Alex (french guy cooking) → basically a YouTube native version of Kenji's food lab where he does series where he goes really deep into topics beyond just the recipe level, but really figuring out every aspect that affects a dish or style of cooking. He also does a ton of custom builds to test his ideas.

- Adam Ragusea → incredibly practical home cooking, optimizing for what the average person might care about vs. doing things "right" -- combined with deep dives into various scientific topics, aided by interviews with experts (usually college professors). The recipe videos are good for getting a sense of how he throws things together on the fly

- Pro Home Cooks → he focuses on making everything from scratch, which is interesting in dishes where people would use pre-made components (bread, pickles, noodles, etc.)

- Joshua Weissman → very entertaining, highly ridiculous, with various series focused on affordable foods, recreating fast foods concepts, etc. makes a lot of things from scratch

- Ethan → comes up with some interesting novel techniques, and is highly specifics in his recipes an outcomes, focused on healthy food. He certainly has his quirks which can get a bit grating, but he's very consistent in what he produces.

- Babish → almost purely entertainment and less educational, but well produced videos

- About To Eat → also has some interesting series, like the ones focusing on specific ingredients, tools, or techniques

- Epicurious → has interesting series pitting amateur cooks vs. chefs that end up showing various levels of complexity of the same dishes

- Muchnie "why we eat" → experienced chefs explain the cultural roots and history of dishes while showing how they're made

etc. etc.… I watch too much food YouTube.
My consultancy is built around creating teams of hourly devs. It works great in practice but there’s a lot of talking to clients in the beginning. A lot of companies are very attached to the idea of w2 salaries.
Yes, I've actually had a (what I intended to be friendly) conversation with him on twitter where he was definitely an asshole. Glad he is becoming more introspective (or it was just an off morning for him).
That's interesting to think about with current technical indicators in mind. The Ruble was, last I checked yesterday, worth less than 10% of a single $DOGE, which itself is around $0.12 vs. USD today.

But it's also projected that $DOGE will make another try at flipping $.70 zone resistance levels into support and taking out $1 before 2Q 2022 is over, and that's even taking into account a possible dip below the $.10 line along the way.

So that's one example of an outcome where the $8M reaches a value of $70M+ USD before half a year has passed, depending on the spread of raised assets and their current valuation. Anyway, interesting possibilities...

> Mixes are engineered to consistently reach a desired result.

That’s pretty much exactly what I dislike about mixes and ready-made food. It’s not that they’re bad, but they are the same every time. Your pancakes taste like my pancakes. That’s boring. I like tasting other peoples pancakes. I usually stock some ready to eat food for times when cooking is just not and option, but I rarely end up reaching for it.

Also, they’re single use, they can not be disassembled to build something else. With eggs, milk, flour, butter, I can make pancakes - American and German style, Dutch Baby, Kaiserschmarrn, waffles, … A pancake mix is a pancake mix, it’s pancakes, nothing else.
