> if you have a USB 3 hub plugged into a USB 3 port, multiple USB 2 devices plugged into it still cannot break through the USB 2 uplink limit of 480 MBps.

I had a weird project where I ran into this. Or rather, I was actually aware of it and tried to work around it. I wanted to attach a large number of optical drives with sata to USB converters to a single port, basically a hot attachable ripping tower kind of thing. To assure a single port would provide enough bandwidth I needed USB 3.0 throughout. But SATA to USB 3.0 converters that exist seem to have...shaky support for optical drives as they're only really meant for SSDs/HDDs. My project ended in at least temporarily failure due to that unreliability.

I remember reading about this device and not finding it a reasonable solution. In addition to not being easily available, I'd need one device per port to break the uplink limit. That wouldn't save me any money and it would be a cabling nightmare. If the chips were a reasonable price and easily available I might have looked into it more seriously anyway though.
Mechanical washing machines were a thing before ww2. You might be better off finding one in an old barn and replacing whatever it uses (likely a crank) with a PTO you can link to a bike. Adapting a modern washing machine would likely be quite a bit more difficult.
In my biased opinion USB 2 fallback is a misfeature. Most devices that use USB 3 for a good reason do terrible things when run at USB 2 speed, and it requires expertise to figure out why things aren't going the way they're supposed to.

On the other hand a mouse and keyboard will work pretty much the same...
The only thing this addresses is Denton's city debt from an exploded power bill. It doesn't add any generation, and even if the generated crypto income was used to pay for new generation it would almost certainly have to go through a completely different process. In the event of another grid collapse/fuel crunch it couldn't provide any extra energy, and even if they were contracting for more fuel (the result of higher local demand) there's no reason they could get it easier now than before. All this does is burn more energy, likely increasing the price the customers have to pay.
We can't sanction China like that. We need too much of what they produce. The only thing that Russia produces that the West needs is oil and gas, which has not been sanctioned.
Yeah, the app's built around a tree hierarchy like normal folders, but using dot namespacing (music.memes.ohno.rickroll.md) to make working with it more doable than with a file manager. I don't know if it's better, per se, but they have definite philosophy to their design, and it's explicitly against graphs and wikilinks as the be all end all solution to knowledge base organization.
> difficult as far as fuel and waste supply chain goes

Sellafield was one of the biggest waste processors around, taking fuel from all around the world. So I don't see if being that big of a problem. well not impossible, there are reasonably well established processes for this.
do you know of a link to the timeline of events and mis-steps etc?
> at £120(current price is £240)

£120/MWh is a rather terrible price. That's basically Hinkley Point C level rate, which is something many grid operators would never accept. So much for "export potential"?
I didn't say that.

I said that, if MagnumOpus believes the French wouldn't launch, that's not relevant to dragonwriter's observation the EU doesn't have many warheads, which DrBazza was replying to.
Russians, I have gotten along well with. However, the Russian elites see themselves as different and above their European cohorts (and Americans by extension). They have a long history of subjugating their people whether it was oligarchs, communists, or aristocrats. I don't think liberal democratic ideas spread there like they did in the rest of the West and never became sewn in with the national identity. It seems like the Russians have a sort of nihilism about all of it, at least the ones I've spoken with on such things over a beer or 6. I mean look at the USA, a country founded on democratic principals and there was still a strong minority (30%?) rooting for Trump to steal the election and possibly set up a one party system for republicans and white supremacists.
Keep in mind that the base tier of Google Stadia is completely free when it comes to free to play games like Destiny 2, or if you buy the game outright.

I still play Cyberpunk 2077 on the free tier of Stadia due to a promotion where the game was only $45 and came with a controller/chromecast. Sold the hardware to pay for the game and now I just play with an Xbox controller on whatever computer or phone I'm on at the time.

> BTRFS has been stable for years now

As far as I can tell, that is true. But given the number of years it spent broken, the amount of time I spent recovering broken arrays, and the (unknown but >0) number of my files that it ate, you'll forgive me for not being enthusiastic now.
DomainTools | Engineering & Operations | REMOTE | Full-time | https://www.domaintools.com/company/join-our-team/#open-posi...

DomainTools (domaintools.com) is hiring for multiple positions. We’re a mid-sized security company whose goal is to make the internet a safer place. Our part of that (enormous) job is knowing everything we can know about the Internet’s DNS (where domains resolve, who registered them, etc), to help security teams investigate malicious sites/pages/etc. The positions we’ve got open are remote. The positions are:

* Software Engineer - Cloud & DevOps Platform - This position will research, develop and deliver cloud automation using tools like Kubernetes, Terraform, Argo, Vault, and Kafka. This position is basically building the base that the other engineering teams deploy onto, with the goal to make everyone's lives easier and more consistent.

* Integrations Engineer - This position will work with our product and engineering teams to integrate our data into other security products (Splunk, for example). It will touch a very diverse cross-section of the tools in the security space, as DomainTools wants to make sure our data is easily usable in a wide variety of places that teams may want to use it in. The position primarily works in python and Javascript, but may use others as needed (or customer/application requires).

* Senior Software Engineer and Software Developer Engineer-2 - These two positions are on the team I've been part of for the past 2 years. They're on the backend team, building systems to collect data about the entire internet (track the state of all domain names on the 'net, take screenshots of all of them, etc). The teams work primarily in python and golang, deploying services to kubernetes.

* Systems Engineer - This position is with our TechOps team, supporting the operation of our on-prem and cloud applications. This position supports production systems using Cassandra, Kafka, ElasticSearch, Linux, etc.

To apply, go here: https://www.domaintools.com/company/join-our-team/#open-posi...

If you have any questions, I’m happy to answer them. If you feel like any of these sound interesting but are a stretch for you, drop me a line at ageeclough ..at.. domaintools.com, I’d love to talk with you.
Do you want to be taught or do you want to learn?
Amazing, isn't it? Looks like click-bait and isn't.

A small reactor CAN be put on a barge. A reactor on a barge opens interesting Possibilities.

However, maintaining the barge becomes a vital concern.
I think a better way to go through the exercise is to remember the principles of an ideal op amp: The inputs have infinite input impedance and zero voltage drop across them.

You can derive the behavior of op amp building blocks from these rules and Kirchoff's laws. It also makes things obvious, like ideal vs practical integration.
It's only a theoretical path to political power, though. There are no examples that I know of, at least in the US, of a tech entrepreneur or scientist successfully running for office. I think Woodrow Wilson was a professor, and he was a disastrous president (and notably very racist).

Yes, the money can buy influence over power, but not obtain power itself. And if Citizen's United is ever legislated against (and it should be) even that influence will be limited.
People and companies have thrived on remote work. People are actually able to find a much better work life balance having worked remotely. Remote worked! Businesses thrived.

You might be miserable because of covid and living through a pandemic. Time is generally tough right now.

I would recommend to you and others to work on your social life outside of work. The pandemic showed that a lot of people don't actually have friends and their whole life is their work. If that's what you want, then fine.
Pleasantly surprised at the source code for this.
It's always been a problem that the current way we do reactors involves lots of one-off designs, with gigantic powerplants that require too much red tape to get finished in a reasonable time frame.

Now instead of that have a small modular core that is certified to high heaven and can be mass produced. It would cut down maintenance, deployment, construction, everything. I truly think this is a fantastic way towards a net zero future.
I'd be interested in how Vultr compares. In my experience, they provide better bang for the buck vs the ones in this list. Also, there's a decent website for such benchmarks: https://www.vpsbenchmarks.com/

> Article 5 only applies if a country is attacked. So if the US or UK are attacking, it doesn't apply.

Without wishing to get all silly, most wars tend to involve both sides fighting.

What's the actual threshold for a NATO member declaring "an attack" to be able to claim assistance under Article 5? Their first ship sunk? Their first aircraft shot down? Their first casualty on the battlefield? First civilian killed in terrorist attack? First cyber-attack?

“A serious cyberattack could trigger Article 5, where an attack against one ally is treated as an attack against all”

It would appear to be a completely blank cheque for military action, based on suitable political theatre. Think Wag the Dog (1997 movie).[1]

The high yield isn't coming from high interest rates, generally they're being subsidized by the protocol to attract deposits. In fact, some these these subsidies pay you to borrow.
These positions are for ~$150k annual. And if the company pay bi-weekly, I guess that would be around ~$500k gross.

Also, there's the a question of legality around deducting someone's paycheck below minimum wage or for debts:

https://www.nolo.com/legal-encyclopedia/what-can-you-deduct-...

> Under federal law, the general rule is that employers may deduct certain expenses from their employees' paychecks, as long as the deductions don't bring the employee's earnings below the minimum wage

> Some states prohibit paycheck deductions for debts to the employer, or limit the circumstances under which these deductions may be made. For example, state law might require employers to secure the employee's agreement, on a signed consent form, to withhold this money.

The agreement on the website isn't a signed document. Anyway, there are much easier ways to distribute the bonus: just pay once it's achieved.
Awesome! Thank you - I didn't know I could do that.
You might be able to find a metalworking shop that could manufacture a new spring for you. If you’re willing to pay for it.

In many ways I think it's a pity that Apple decided to bring its "Pro" aesthetic to the standard/consumer range, there has been so little to diffiraciate the two ranges. Having the two distinct ranges was more fun.

With what they have done with the M1 iMacs and the rumours of a rebooted MacBook (Air?) using the aesthetic of that iteration (colourful aluminium enclosures and white bezels) they seem to have decided to do just that and separate the ranges visually - just as they have done with the iPhone ranges now. For the first time in years last years Mac product announcements have actually interested me, looking forward to see what they are showing tomorrow.

> This is much better for sketching, as can reach a much flatter angle than the G4 iMac ever could.

Quite right, the ergonomics of the exact G4 aren't quite right for what I'm describing, however they could serve as the design inspiration for something amazing.

(I'm also now on eBay looking for G4s...)
> The infected participants also showed on average larger cognitive decline between the two timepoints. Importantly, these imaging and cognitive longitudinal effects were still seen after excluding the 15 cases who had been hospitalised.

The paper is a little dense, but Business Insider summarizes as follows:

Words have meaning my friend. I never called philosophy a science. It’s the font that scientific reasoning sprung from.

The rest of your comment I can’t decipher. I’m not sure why you’re injecting me into this. I’m not a player here.

It may also be worth considering that the quote you used to justify war, was written by a pacifist:

This would seem to suggest that ANY raid configuration is unacceptable.

Device replace

--------------

>Device replace and device delete insist on being able to read or reconstruct all data. If any read fails due to an IO error, the delete/replace operation is aborted and the administrator must remove or replace the damaged data before trying again.

Device replace isn't something where "mostly ok" is a good enough status.
My point is that this is fundamentally not a viable argument anymore:

> If you are supposed to be able to access YouTube from Firefox or Chrome, then you are also supposed to be able to access it via youtube-dl

Were this an axiom, services like Netflix simply could not exist. We're defeated whether we admit it or not – browser DRM is not being yanked from browsers anytime soon. That's not even talking about its forebears, like Silverlight, Flash, Applets, etc.
Precedent of not using nukes before (excluding Hiroshima), not wanting to lose nukes against nuclear states, but most importantly, us treating our enemy with a modicum of dignity, just like Allies treated the Germans. If we truly believe that we are freeing Russia from oppressive dictatorship that got them into a war, it shouldn't be a big problem.

I think all the game theory "rationality" is off the table anyways, because the very act of Ukrainian uprising against Russian invasion is already irrational (see ultimatum game). And the act of some other countries acting on Ukraine's behalf is irrational too.

MAD is just a THEORY. Very nice mathematically, but the real world is much more nuanced. And IMHO it's a scarecrow used to justify ownership of nuclear weapons, which are just horrible and should be banned.

Addendum: Hitler actually wanted to destroy Paris (see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nero_Decree), but it, almost by miracle (in reality it was brave work of different people involved) survived. We need to have a hope, but also get rid of all the nukes.
Synology is running on top of mdraid, but does not use dm-integrity. Since it can be enabled per-share, and share creates a btrfs subvolume, that would be kind of difficult.

For scrubbing, plain-old btrfs-scrub is being used.
Russia's start of WW2 was on September 17 of 1939 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soviet_invasion_of_Poland and they did pretty great taking half of Poland, as agreed in Molotov–Ribbentrop Pact, in less than a month. They cemented this victory and cooperation with Hitler in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/German%E2%80%93Soviet_Frontier.... They had full two years of successes until June 1941 Barbarossa.

Did you perhaps grew up under Russian occupation, like I did, and not learn in school about Molotov–Ribbentrop Pacts? We were only taught the part after 1941 where Russia gloriously liberates Europe.
Nah it's the other one that needed fuel from Libyans.
> I challenge these people to examine the experiences that led them to make this choice

If you make a coffee table out of wood from a sustainable forest, does it belong to you? What causes it to become personal property?

If you make a coffee table out of code from a second life engine, does it belong to you? What causes it to not be personal property?

What if the coffee table you make in VR is made from "wood" tokenized on a blockchain that cost money to generate the electrons for?

Your examination concludes that things made from your invention and/or labor rendered in atoms are property, but from your invention and/or labor rendered in electrons are not? Or one form of labor has a right to earn a living, the other does not?

Until we achieve a post-scarcity world -- where life-time is included in scarcity -- that thinking seems both wishful and facile.
I went from only having done high school math 10 years ago to completing an MS in math and statistics at my local state university while working in an unrelated field. I would recommend NOT starting with calculus if you haven’t done it, instead, just learn how to do proofs - I used Chartrand “Mathematical proofs” - You don’t need to know any math beyond algebra in order to do that most of this book. If you need to revise or learn Algebra, then I would do Stroud “engineering math” first which is designed for self-learners with lots of solutions and feedback.

At some point, it would be good to get a a copy of Lyx and start to learn to write math in LaTeX - Then you can get feedback on your proofs online at math.stackexchange.com if you don’t know any math people locally.

Feel free to get in touch with me if you want to discuss further, happy to help!
If it was appealing, private industry would be investing. What I'm saying is that the only time nuclear makes sense is when you're trying to back-fill the last 20% (or whatever) of capacity that can't easily be born by other renewable sources. That doesn't make that 20% magically profitable, it's a gap that needs to be filled (likely by public investment).
Why not work on having a social life outside of work? The pandemic didn't make meeting new people easy.

Think if you worked remotely without covid restrictions, and with a healthy social life outside of work. Wouldn't that be good?
I would not blame design for the "slab of glass" state of computers/phones.

There two factors I see we endup with the current designs that are not related to desing at all:
* Miniaturization and portability: Today, probably two thirds of the components needed for a computer fit into the M1 die.
* Ergonomics: Because we are still humans, we need screens and input devices (touch or keyboard/mouse) that are bigger than the computer itself

Designers work around humans and technology to make the products joyful and compeling. I believe they did a good job, in general, given what computers became engineering-wise.
I've seen 100 articles saying this yet not one environmentalist I know has changed his mind.
>Russia invaded in 2014 since they couldn't join NATO then and immediately seized Crimea.

Did you forget about the Ukranian coup that happened days before Russia invaded Crimea? That invasion (justified or not) was clearly in response to the coup, was it not?
> You have that exactly backwards.

No, my point is that the Suez crisis proves that even if you do have logistical independence, it doesn't matter, because the US can crash your economy and excoriate you in the UN if you do something they don't like.
It's infuriating that this argument is still around, and actually taken seriously.
You can power a smartphone or a flashlight for a very long time with the energy it takes to boil a liter of water.

The latter is easy to do with firewood but charging batteries is not.
I agree with them but the "makes the rich richer part" is a poor argument against something. It just means "investments promote some sort of growth that scales". That is not a bad thing in itself. If accepted as bad the exact same argument could be used against education and to argue why we should shut down the Ivy League now. Alongside other shortsighted behaviors.

That "Crypto" amounts to gratuitous waste to do things worse with no attendant applications is more important. It has always long been a cult of the golden saw proposing it as a solution for everything.
That's not correct.

There's no plausible scenario where some sort of mass collective customer driven action requiring coordination is going to be effective.

Tipping culture will change when restaurants change their compensation structure.

A restaurant can commit to paying the team a fair wage, include the costs in the menu pricing, prohibit tipping, and loudly market that it's what they are doing. It's happened in many places and it works. Danny Meyer in NYC seems to be doing pretty well with this plan for example.

Depriving the least powerful people in the whole equation isn't a solution. Lobby the business owners who actually make the decisions.
I appreciate that some people prefer this kind of interviewing, but instead of memorizing some algorithms, it all comes down to whether the dev knows the same specific framework or not in this case. I'm not saying one is better than the other, just different, and I think both are valid ways of interviewing.
"If you remove the dogma - what do you have left of religion, exactly?"

If you'd ever had a mystical experience, you wouldn't need to ask that question.

Many have argued that mystical experiences were at the core of every major religion, and it was when people stopped having these experiences that dogma accreted.
It depends on who is the boss/customer.

This is a multidimensional problem, and the only way out is to find concrete measurable aspects. Focusing on things you can measure is important as "perfect" is a limit point which may not be achievable, and you my have hidden problems that don't get revealed.

My personal strategy is to make forward process on execution to get to some E2E point, and then the goal is how to drive optimization. The customer is there to help you understand what is good enough.

It's important to master this skill because it is easy to get stuck in the mud, and getting something perfect now may not be so great later on.

I struggle with it as well, and I've suffered other peoples' definitions of "good enough". However, that suffering allowed me to retire early and now I'm suffering myself as the customer. I'm a cruel customer...
I was curious to this myself (I'm speaking more generally than any project). One reason I found is just to provide margin investing. So some company buys some $FOO and it goes up 10x. It may prefer to borrow stablecoins with it as collateral, even at a high rate. This way, investment can continue without selling (they may want to defer selling for liquidity or tax reasons, simply want to leverage and buy more etc)
This is just false, please don't spread misinformation
