I think it goes beyond that, sure the traditional media did not help things but this started on Twitter.

Someone edited down a video of what happened and shared it. It was boosted either by bots or by unsuspecting people but it set off what can only be described as a witch hunt. This is of course not the first time this has happened, we have had things like Donglegate(https://arstechnica.com/staff/2013/03/donglegate-is-classic-...) and Shirtgate(https://time.com/3589392/comet-shirt-storm/). But the events seem to be getting bigger in magnitude, i.e. drawing in international media(https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-46935701) and more numerous(sorry no stats, only my attention).

You can not run a society on mobs. I am not sure if it is Twitters design, the speed of information, the need to feel like part of the in group and/or a combination of all and more that is leading to the formation of mobs but it is not healthy.

I also think there is some cultural values at play as well, where the number of Twitter followers, being an influencer, or just being self centered is seen as a positive thing.

Part of me thinks that it might be related to the gamification of everything, if I post more more(of the right thing) I get more likes, followers, retweets by celebrity. Rather than if I post clear concise or well thought out things. Quality over quantity as it were.

They likely had seminars, but focused on how to avoid legal issues related to diversity.
The tactical swapping is part of it, especially since once a pitcher is taken out they can’t go back in for the rest of the game. A lot of the roster pitchers are backups and relievers who don’t play many innings. The starters usually take at least 3 days rest after pitching.
In fact, the A9 is likely at least as fast as the Helio P60 your Jelly’s got. It generally performs better than the Snapdragon 835, which is a higher performance implementation of the A73 + A53 design.

Radio Moscow was available in a lot of languages (64 come the 1970's) back in the days of the Soviet Union. I came across it regularly when "surfing the waves" on my old tube radio back in high school (1980's), the signals were quite strong and that "Moscow Nights" tune made it easy to identify.

Absolutely, 100%. And the distortions that "rip and ship" makes in the economy aren't worth it when oil prices are high. It makes some people rich but most of us just suffer net effects and I'm not even talking about climate change.

I've lived in Edmonton during oil-boom times, and during not-oil-boom times.. and the corrosive effect of the boom and bust cycle on the Albertan economy, it's not pretty.

And a high per-barrel price in Alberta does nothing good for manufacturing in the rest of the country, dragging our dollar up and making our exports less attractive and the costs of production higher. When the dollar is high also makes my labour as a software engineer more expensive, without much benefit to me.

Ah well, enough ranting, off to go pick up sushi in my electric car and I'm not even joking.
Most of the issues people have with the LG are resolved by this new model; namely, build quality, speaker quality and webcam quality. For an extra $300 it seems like a no-brainer to pick this over the much-complained-about LG.
It's jarring to you because someone else reframed the post as "don't use JWT" (a thing I believe!), and that's not what it's about. See, here, the power of people to control the terms in which people read and think about subjects by creating their own titles to things!

You think everything is political because you've failed to make a distinction between morality, culture, and politics. Politics doesn't have to do with "morals and values". It's not a political stance to have a birthday party for your 3 year old or pray in a church or a mosque.

Your second argument is "everything affects everything else". Using that argument we can prove that we're all mass murderers for keeping our thermostats at 70 degrees. One reason this way of thinking is so useless is that it fails to single out actual murderers (i.e. the person who pulls the trigger).
If people listened to that advice Apple's stock price would be cut in half. 99% of Mac users can get along fine with the base m1 models.

"Dumb" serial cables have been able to transport local and networked data for more than half a century. I don't think such a feat is that difficult to accomplish with Ethernet. I don't everything needs a protocol to "just work".
I have heard this argument before, if it’s identical workloads you get faster output but the same total work. Thus “faster performance” seems correct for fixed workloads and “more performance” is correct on games or benchmarks where you get more FPS.

I still think “faster performance” sounds sound odd, but I understand their point.

It is more than just interesting, it's the central unsolved conundrum in physics

The discussion around a big monitor with a processor powerful enough for ca. 2020 flagship iPhone is going to be a bit different than the discussion prompted by their phone for people who miss the 2013 flagship iPhone.
A portion of that could be related to lack of protocol support. 5k at 60Hz is more bandwidth that HDMI or DisplayPort could provide until very recently. Apple got around it by essentially making it two separate displays bound together in software using a single Thunderbolt cable, but that is only really feasible when you control the entire ecosystem.
This is similar to how they would broadcast film on television in the early days - using a Kinescope.

I've been on twitter for only a few weeks since there is an election coming up in my country and the parties have a rather big presence there and I have no other social media, and I like that I can remain pseudonymous (as opposed to Facebook which has a real name policy). I've also been following the Ukraine invasion on there as well...I don't know if it's just the content I'm following but boy, it's tiring.

You're describing corporations, not capital. While corporations require capitalism, you can easily have a capitalistic society where there is no corporate shield. Everyone could be a mom and pop shop.

Indeed Ghost of Kiev (if doesn't really exist) is crazy-evil propaganda, comparing to the Russians invading independent country and trying to sell it as "operation" against facism.
Or ignore it? If a populace cannot even be trusted to hear bad, false information then democracy starts to seem like a bad idea. I don't mean that as an endorsement of any other ideology, but having a populace that can process information without it harming them seems to be a basic pillar of democracy.
One avenue for progress that the author overlooks is distinguising between quantum mechanics interpretations where wave function collapse is considered part of the theory vs. where wave function collapse is considered to be a useful approximation.

I expect as we see quantum computers increase in scale it will become more apparent and accepted that there is no such thing as "collapse": that is just the approximation for a large system including the observer becoming entangled with a smaller quantum system under consideration.

I think even the disillusioned author here would have to take that as progress.
I have a slight idea that I might be focusing too much on remembering the exact syntax and understanding (almost) every line before I move on, and that I should chill out a little bit and realize that I'll be working with Python docs, google and API docs open 24/7 for a while.

But then I might end up not recalling many things later. Can I even claim that I'm "learning" like that? What if I end up being someone using older projects as a reference? Is that even acceptable?
Probably something like that. Apple has a lot of products that use their custom silicon that aren't Macs or iOS devices — think Homepods, AirPods, etc. I'm sure they have a whole team whose job it is just to create respins of their CoreOS stack + whatever happens to be relevant to the hardware device.
I don’t think this will be the case until they’re more right to repair friendly
> Make the best of every minute you have, and live it as if it were your last.

I’m against this advice because aside from the usual objections like practicality, it’s fundamentally based on fear of missing out and not having lived a good life. It’s a kind of striving and all striving leads to suffering.

If you want to spend your afternoon navel gazing or looking at fish in the pond, that’s the true thing you should do. Free and easy wandering.
I think M2 is going to improve on single thread performance.

Judging from the geekbench scores[0], M1, M1 Pro, and M1 Max perform identically in single threaded tasks. And the newly leaked Mac Studio benchmark[1] shows essentially identical single thread performance.

Right. Which is why I didn't include him on the list.

What's your point?
The person you are replying to is either wrong or has stated it very badly.

The idea of their being both a wave and particle based description of photons that don't mix well is basically physics as known in the 1920s. The modern theoretical framework of light is quantum field theory (special relativity + quantum mechanics, but actually not quite that for [insert qft textbook] reasons...), which doesn't fit into either of those old ideals particularly well because they are basically shadows of an underlying model projected at different angles.

Edit (further detail): The way physics is taught in British secondary schools is a tragedy - ignoring that you don't even learn the fundamentals properly (no calculus!) - you aren't given a non-mathematical outline of these modern theories. In their eyes quantum mechanics has not really advanced beyond the photoelectric effect, which is where unhelpful weirdness like you'll see in this thread comes from.
I agree. I don't like at all this "deal" - I see this as a huge risk of escalating things.

I'm happy that the americans are willing to help in general, but I don't like their direct involvement without being provoked (too scared of another total mess).
People doing what's best for them can be very evil for others, like the fact that buildings full of lead paint and lead-leaking pipes have not been fixed.
They still look clean though even after making them useable.

I'm really glad to see that the mea culpa they pulled when admitting the trashcan was a really bad idea wasn't just a bunch of platitudes. They've actually released good products after that. That last MacPro was interesting, but they still had custom dedicated GPUs that again had no replacements.

Whether Russia considers NATO to have intervened is less a function of whether the facts on the ground justify that assertion, and more a function of whether Russia wants a war with NATO. It will decide based on strategic considerations and manufacture or ignore the facts as necessary to justify its decision.

The pricing tiers have to do with how difficult it is to remove consumers from that data broker. Some of the most well-known brokers are also the most difficult to opt out, which is why they’re in the highest priced tier.

That's quite a turnabout, they used to supply Rome with wheat two thousand years ago. Now they need to import what they need. Is there not enough land to grow crops?
Yeah, so they threw you in over your head. Sorry about that. If they let you sink, it's not all on you and don't be afraid of the next gig because not all companies are like that.

As others mentioned, I'm also entirely self-taught and it comes from personal projects.

I'm sure you've seen it, but if I was going to learn it I'd start here: https://fastapi.tiangolo.com/tutorial/

Then I'd build something for myself, something that actually works, that I actually deploy. Because so much learning comes from doing.

Pick a project you want to launch, or build an open source tool. After 3-5 you might feel quite comfortable. But it probably will require a lot of extra time outside of work. I learned Rails outside of work and I spent most weekends and a few nights a week for a month before I felt comfortable enough to work on production code.

I also like video tutorials, so maybe try Googling and see if there's a YouTube video series that clicks for you. Sometimes the medium of spoken word just works better for me than reading.

The other thing to remember is that no two projects are the same. The FastAPI project you might be working on might be in a very different style than the ones in the tutorials. Just so you don't overwhelm the other dev, maybe write down a few questions in the morning and ask them all at lunch time. Otherwise, if you're asking every hour it might get overwhelming.

Good luck!
I don't argue for political view points because I'm fairly certain I have no power and my opinions and beliefs don't matter. You know, like 99% of us.

Maybe yours do matter. Maybe you're a player with NGOs, elected government, media, academia, big business, or civil service. Mine don't though, I'm just another peasant who wants to keep his family safe and healthy. I wish things could be better but I see no viable path for that to happen that involves arguing politics on the internet.

The one concrete thing that could improve things for me and mine is making more money. LARPing as somebody important on twitter by arguing politics would just be a distraction from that.

Why would you believe that it tops the RTX 3090? It's just 2 of their prior chips in the same package? This is purely marketing nonsense with nothing to back it up.

At least in the US You can get a 3090 for 2200 even with markup and an almost as good 3080 for $1150. If you wait until its in stock at a big box store you can get one for less even. A machine could be built with a 3080 for $2000.

Meanwhile a system based on on the 64 core GPU will run you $5000 and as such is affordable to nearly nobody thus few will get a chance to see it drastically under perform in the gaming arena on any of the games that don't support mac on arm.

With an absolutely invisible market share in the gaming desktop there will never be any incentive for anyone to change this insofar as direct support leaving you reliant on translation from x86 and from windows executables paying doubly in terms of compatibility and performance from an already very expensive and lackluster starting point.

If the season were shorter the tactics would be very different and what you said might not be true anymore. For instance you might only need 2 starting pitchers. If you can have Scherzer pitch half your games that’s gonna be very different than having him pitch 1/4 of your games. There’s also the playoffs to consider as a case study. There you have far fewer games so the strategy is very different, and arguably the games are more interesting.
I made this comment elsewhere, but all I really want is a 96x2 PPI monitor because I'm mainly on Windows and that's what widgets look their best at. 24", 3840x2560 (for 96 x 2 PPI, 3:2 aspect ratio), 120Hz, 10 bits per color, topping out bandwidth at exactly two lanes of UHBR 20 (or four lanes of UHBR10) of DisplayPort 2.0 would be my holy grail.

I could deal it being around 22" for higher density for Mac users.

It seems there's a few people in our same camp, but we haven't been heard by manufacturers yet.

It isn't uncommon at all to simply apply new coats of paint over existing ones, rather than sanding and scraping off the old paint.

As long as kids don't eat your walls, it is safer too- the risks from a few chips are much lower than fine powdered dust that lingers around a long time and is even harder to completely remove.
Now look at how much fertilizer Russia produces (~23% global supply of ammonia, 14% of urea and 21% of potash). That affects a lot more than just wheat. Food costs are going to soar way beyond what they currently are, world-wide.

> Natural gas is a commonly used as a feedstock to produce two nitrogen-based fertilizers – ammonia and urea – in large quantities.

> In the production of ammonia or urea, natural gas is processed at an upgrading plant together with nitrogen (taken from the air). During the process, 80% of the gas is used as feed¬stock for fertilizer, while the remaining 20% is used for heat and electricity production. The two main end products, ammonium nitrate and urea, are then mixed with other ingredients—mainly phosphorus and potassium—to manufacture a range of synthetic fertilizers for use on farms.

The syntax highlighting in Fx dev tools has the same mistake as the article in that they only recognize the "close comment" token if it's at the beginning of the line, even though the spec clearly states that it may be preceded by any number of single-line "multiline" comments on the same line.

However, the way I understand the spec, you shouldn't be able to start a line comment with `-->' after an actual multi-line comment (i.e. a delimited comment that contains line terminators); however, both Firefox and Chrome seem to disagree with my interpretation; for example

i = 1;
while (i /*
*/ --> 0
)
console.log(i); // this loop never terminates
Computers are boring now: Everything is thin and flat or in the cloud. Thermals are solved (if you pay enough). Speed and storage growth is nice, but not fun.

I didn't know either. DSC is Display Stream Compression, and has been part of the spec since 1.4. According to Wikipedia [0],

> DSC is a compression algorithm that reduces the size of the data stream by up to a 3:1 ratio.... Using DSC with HBR3 transmission rates, DisplayPort 1.4 can support 8K UHD (7680 × 4320) at 60 Hz or 4K UHD (3840 × 2160) at 120 Hz
