The only "new" chip is the X3D one (with 3d v-cache). The others are the same chips as last year, just at a different price point (eg. the 5700X is basically a cheaper version of the 5800X, only being marginally slower).
I find this weird but i've always sort of resented generations (Boomer, GenX, etc) that aren't mine (Millenial) but Gen Z is the first one i've really liked. I find the general Gen Z humour to be very funny. I love their mercurial embrace of trends and tearing down of sacred cows. The way they approach work/life balance, call out stupid cultural norms. Their attitude and acceptance of people not like themselves.

By the way I know this resentment is stupid and unfounded in any reality - its just a feeling I have.

I know this is all generalisation and not everyone born between two arbitrary years are like this - but the general vibe I get from their generation is that the kids are going to be alright.
The point is that you get more excited by that, but I personally would never use that app lol
At one point the entire web was fun and quirky, then myspace came along and everyone stopped making their own webpages opting instead to customize their profile in crazy ways, then facebook came along and only allowed rigid government like structure. Tumblr was a beacon of hope for a time, but then wild creativity moved to sanctioned playgrounds like minecraft, or to the personal web pages of highly skilled artists.
I'm late 40s and would prefer the Gen-Z mode in a dating app. Give me clean and utilitarian on a note taking app or something where I'm creating. Give me something fun (but usable) for something that should be fun.
I first noticed this "Gen-Z" mode trend when I played Mario Kart on Wii. Compared to N64 or SNES, the screen was so busy. I honestly had a hard time keeping track of where my player was and where the "track" was compared to all the colorful fast-moving background cruft.

I'm not a gamer so maybe I'm just not used to it. Fortnite seems like another example of how "Gen-Z" and headachy a digital environment can be.

For sure people will downvote me for not being a gamer who gets it, or for being an old fuddy-duddy. Wanted to provide the perspective though.
> The fastest way to start saving money is to learn how to cook and don't eat out or buy prepared food as much.

Sometimes easier said than done. I cooked a lot over the pandemic, but when I switched jobs six months ago, it started mentally draining me enough that cooking after work has become a real challenge. Still managing to cook 2-3 times a week, most weeks, but not more than that right now. Used to do it 5+ times a week.

The current issue is really to prevent rebuilding of entire compilation units. Incremental compilation helps somewhat but I haven't found it to be good enough when the size increases. My gut feeling is that it comes from linear or n^2 searches across the entire module due to e.g. parts of the trait system. There's no issue depending on huge crates, when they have been compiled. The first compilation can be painful though. This is especially a problem in CI environments where you need to be clever about the caching vs. clean builds.

To solve this you can move to a workspace structure with internal crates, this makes local changes and tests very fast to compile. For the larger structure you only recompile what is needed starting at where the change originates in true DAG form. On the other hand you can't create dependency cycles.

For a workspace setup look at for example Rust-Analyzer:

Very cool. I've been thinking about this space for a few years (waste to fuel) particularly for aviation and maybe ocean shipping, since most land transport, home and commercial heating, cooking, etc. can all be electrified, but long-haul aviation can't and hydrogen is problematic (the weight of the storage vessels and the low volumetric density are big blockers).

With catalytic hydro-processing the fuel can be made into something that is chemically identical to fossil-derived diesel or jet fuel, and if everything is run from 100% renewable power and the feedstock is waste biomass, then the fuel is basically already carbon neutral without needing to buy offsets. Need to start looking at funding to start doing some research to see whether the energy return on energy invested could be good enough and the price of the finished product could be low enough at scale including the logistics (collection, production, etc.). Maybe more likely now given the increase in oil price, but a high carbon price on fossil fuels that it would be exempt from due to carbon neutrality would likely be necessary too...
For that I see it as a matter of tooling more than the language design: wasm is nicely integrated into cargo and is maintained far better than other choices. You can also compile C/C++ to WASM if you want (and the language semantics definitely allows for it, since it doesn't have a garbage collector), but you just really don't want to deal with CMake while doing so.
I'd love to see proper testing of all the current chips from both AMD and Intel with Specter v2 mitigations applied. Performance hits of up to 50% are being shown in some workloads.

> a particularly abstract, intellectual thing that people who (appear to be) much smarter than me seem to understand but which I cannot.

It’s not a “smarts” thing, but it is highly contextual.

European philosophy went in an interesting (and often derided) direction in the 20th century. You can trace a line from 13th century scholars of hermeneutics up through Heidegger and Wittgenstein— smart folks! — and then, in the US, to people like Quine.

In Europe this also lead to approaches like deconstructionism (let me gloss it as “wait, can a text exist without context?”, which is almost the precise opposite of those hermeneuticists of 900 years ago). These classes of questions were then applied to everyday culture and phenomena, which were often not the subject of study, e.g. thus semiotics. This is actually a really interesting field, because it causes you to revisit things that are so ubiquitous that you don’t look at them at all! For example, “land”, is generally the space between the roads, yet roads used to run through the land. Big deal…or not? Are there implications of this shift in perspective or is it merely just one of those things?

Of course the problem is it’s really easy to do a lazy job on these hard but not really quantifiable questions and thus it became the darling of a lot of humanities departments, leading to a kind of Gresham’s law phenomenon. The flood of fatuous and obscurantist work has condemned the whole field to well deserved mockery.

But a bit of study can unlock a lot of interesting insight. I say “a bit of study” because easily 95% of the “work” in this field is crap. And at the end of the day it’s nowhere near as hard (or significant) as, say, quantum mechanics.

Of course you can ask! You can ask for any nonsensical thing you want! But, I'll grant you that it should ultimately be up to the voters to give the answer.

The answer is actually "It depends"

For some products like pasta and canned tomatoes, you can hold enough stock to deal with a 99th-percentile day without any wastage at all; if it doesn't sell today, it'll sell tomorrow.

But for those little packaged sushi snacks with a one-day shelf life? Any overstock is going in the trash at the end of the day.

And sushi snacks mostly sell to workers on their lunch breaks. You'll see big fluctuations in demand if a nearby office changes their work-from-home policy, or has a big all-hands meeting that gets everyone in. Even the greatest demand modelling can't predict such things, as nearby office meetings aren't available as a model input.

Some products are also easily more easily substitutable than others: If the 1kg pack of mid-priced spaghetti is out of stock, maybe I buy the low-priced brand, the premium brand, the 500g packet, the wholewheat version and so on.

That’s not just Russian tanks. You’re right about the reasons. Tanks without infantry support are highly vulnerable to enemy infantry with antitank weapons, particularly in an environment where the enemy infantry has a lot of cover and concealment to operate from.

I do something similar, except I directly use index.tsx as the widget in a directory structure, like this:

components
Button.tsx
Menu
index.tsx <-- menu component
Link.tsx <-- "Link" component only used within Menu

That way if I want to break out the Button component into multiple sub-components, I don't need to change the imports, but I also don't need to add a re-exporting index.ts in every single folder (it gets annoying once you're up to dozens of folders).

Also, for funsies I have both a components directory for reusable components and a separate "app" directory for the core containers that make up the first-class functionality. index.tsx in that folder is what would normally be the App.tsx, so the JSX nesting structure of the app is mirrored in the directory structure:

app
index.tsx <-- entrypoint
Login.tsx
Register.tsx
routes
index.tsx <-- core router
Home.tsx

etc... This also makes SSR easy because then in the root 'src' directory that contains all this I can have a server.tsx with ReactDOM.render and a client.tsx with ReactDOM.hydrate, and each can use their respective isomorphic context providers.

Also I don't know if this is standard nowadays but aliasing "src" to the source root and adding it as a baseDir in tsconfig.json means you can use absolute imports.

> I rebutted the performance claims, and did so based on energy density and engine difficulty. Many will be dealing with those two things, with the latter being more important.

Literally race cars use Ethanol because it has 100+ Octane (depending on the mixture level with gasoline). Its an incredible octane booster and improves performance of the fuel.

The main issue is that most engines aren't designed to have the significantly higher compression that ethanol blends have. But if we're talking raw performance, its actually a good fuel.

E85 in particular is rated ~100 octane to ~105 octane.

----------

Yes, ethanol may require more fuel per cycle, but almost all computers built in the last two decades have those computers that can compensate for it.

In any case, there's a large number of "FlexFuel" vehicles out there: Ford Focus, Fusion, Chevrolet Malibu, F150, etc. etc. These vehicles don't only take E15 blends, but are designed to safely run E85 blends. Right there is an 89% reduction on gasoline usage (from E10 to E85).

Mostly Ford and GM vehicles yes. But there's plenty of those vehicles around. I bet that most people who drive these cars don't even realize that they have an 89% reduction on gasoline fuel available.

The issue is that E85 costs more. Its cheaper per-gallon, but its more expensive per mile because of that energy density thing.

IMO C++ was and is still the leading language for writing performance-intensive and memory-intensive applications (excluding Rust), and C++ is really flawed. Like, I know that Java and JavaScript and Python get criticism, but the fact is those languages are still usable compared to C++:

- There are several different ways to do everything and half of them are wrong. For example, you can define an unsigned int type with "unsigned", "unsigned int", "uint32", "uint32_t", "unsigned long". Why are there 5 different types for unsigned integer? C++ also supports C-style arrays and pointers and casting, but most of the time you end up using std::shared_ptr and std::vector or std:array or static_cast or dynamic_cast instead.

- Speaking of which, C++ is even more verbose than Java. Most classes will require 2 files, the .h and .cpp, and it's not exactly clear which code belongs in which.

- The C++ compiler and parser is probably the most complicated compiler that ever existed. There is seriously no other language as complicated as C++.

- C++ errors are very long, very verbose, and it's hard to even find where the error is. I literally had projects where I had a simple error (e.g. calling a standard library function with the wrong arguments), and I spent time trying to debug it because I couldn't even find the error location since the error messages were so long they went past the terminal buffer limit.

- CMake is really bad. I can't speak much to how bad it is because I don't even really know how to use it despite working on multiple C++ projects. But I do know, trying to clone C++ projects with CMake they often fail, and that out of all the build systems I've worked with (including npm, Maven and Gradle), CMake is the one I still don't really understand.

- The C compiler is also really slow. Static analysis is also not very good, even with the effort put towards it, because C++ is so complicated.

- There is no easy way to declare a tagged union (excluding third-party libraries). There are also a few other features that Rust does which take a lot of boilerplate to implement in C++.

- And on top of that, you have buffer overflows triggering security vulnerabilities.

In conclusion, C++ is basically broken, which is why so much time and effort has been put into Rust. In fact, a lot of Rust design decisions (good error messages, simple package manager, tagged unions, the entire borrow checker) were put in precisely because of how badly they were handled in C++. Rust definitely has its own flaws, and is a lot newer and more unstable. But it's the best alternative that allows programmers to write performant and scalable applications which is not C++.
Also if properly configured, at least on Java/.NET worlds, they can be cached between runs, thus they eventually get tuned to the optimal maximum.

Basically everyone that studied something like computer science in the 90s were electrical engineers and the computer stuff was barebones, it was more hardware. Software development like we know it wasn't a thing back then so people started late compared to the west.

I have a dev in his 40s and a sysadmin in his 50s as co-workers but that's rare because of the things you mentioned. With that much experience, high demand and low competition at that level they're going to have cushy jobs that they want to have and won't be sitting at crappy outsource shops.
