I digress. Haters don't spam HN with useless Apple related astroturfing.
Freecodecamp has great courses on youtube. A quick search showed: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HGOBQPFzWKo&ab_channel=freeC...

I skimmed it and it is not bad.

After this, perhaps a university-level data structures course?

I would not recommend a bootcamp from what I have heard (I have proper CS degrees, and did consider one elite bootcamp back in the day so did some research)
>Going down the "Some quacks were right, therefore all quacks are right" path will not lead you to a healthy place.

Neither would some that disagreed were quasks so all who disagree with the mainstream are quacks, which is how they are treated.
In my 20+ years of professional web-based software development, mostly in the commercial space, accessibility was never made a requirement. This spanned more than a half dozen clients/companies and more than a dozen projects/teams. Fast forward to last year when I re-platformed my personal blog [1]. During that effort, I decided to make it accessible. It was my first time every really delving into the a11y space.

Despite the time warranted, I found that effort to be interesting, challenging, and worthwhile. And I think it was/is the right thing to do. This despite my blog getting a low amount of traffic and nobody ever requesting that I make it accessible.

As an online creator, I have the ability and privilege to make my (small) online corner of the world a better place. For me to simply ignore the needs of those who are less able seems wrong.

You didn't read the article. Instead you made something up and presented it as fact with zero evidence.
The argument in the first article isn’t compelling: we have direct evidence of Bitcoin miners exploiting the diminishing profitability of coal plants to buy them on the cheap and reopen them solely for mining. Similarly for any non-renewable source: the traditional demand slump for each will encourage miners to pick up the slack, rather than investing in renewables.

And even this is, on its face, a ridiculous end goal: we should be building renewable sources of power to replace our societies’ needs, not to supplant them with cryptocurrency.
That is indeed a nice setup I hadn't thought about.
No, it’s the “affirmative action” that’s the ultimate verbal trick: if you didn’t know the origin of the phrase, and how it is used, you’d never guess what it means. On the other hand, describing it as “racial discrimination” is perfectly clear and straightforward, as AA is quite simply all about discriminating between competing candidates based on their race.
Yeah I rely on Docker. Anaconda gave a lot of issues too, but that is not my choice for python package mgmnt anyway. All issues are fixed with specifying Linux/amd64 as the build platform and only installing conda in containers. Installing conda locally is not something you should ever do in any case, it makes a mess of your home, shell profiles and environment variables.

Still having OOM 'Killed' errors in builds that I should investigate. Don't know for sure if there are memory limits in default Docker settings on Macos, could be it. In any case, I should respec cleaner builds anyway because right now it's a mess.
A lot of what unions once offered has been rolled into labour legislation. The entire workforce is now a member of the de facto union, so to speak.
No, neither TCP nor IP are routing protocols.
> With better regulations, many better things could be done with that gas rather than mining Bitcoin.

With better regulations we could also maybe outlaw desktop gaming computers as there are a lot of powerful (and power hungry) desktop computers just being used to play video games when they could be doing many better things, like contributing to Folding@home or other efforts.

It's absolutely categorically illegal - hell, look at what Aaron Swartz was prosecuted for - and I have no doubt that they'll throw the book at him. This is way beyond the pale. It's not a 'no jury in the land' case like that Ukrainian crewman sinking the oligarch's yacht.
The newest Tacoma Narrows Bridge took about five years to construct, beginning in 2002 and finishing in 2007. It is about one mile long.

If a game isn't relevant enough to port to new hardware, is it really relevant enough to benchmark with?
the bridge in Philly that was blown-up right before the infrastructure funding visit by Biden.. how does that fit into your narrative?
I lean in your direction on this. However, I am worried that this evidence doesn't say what we think it says.

Is it that there was more growth in non union fields? It is conceivable that union work is still responsible for much in the building realm. That combined with a non growing workforce could easily explain slowness. Combined with basic supply/demand thinking can then explain costs.
Elaborate? It is the best thing web has for crawling rules. Yea ofc crawling rules can be broken and violated but all serious internet search engines respect robots.txt.
The technically interesting bit about the Ultra's GPU is that it makes multiple GPU dies look like one physical GPU to software:

>if you could somehow link up multiple GPUs with a ridiculous amount die-to-die bandwidth – enough to replicate their internal bandwidth – then you might just be able to use them together in a single task. This has made combining multiple GPUs in a transparent fashion something of a holy grail of multi-GPU design. It’s a problem that multiple companies have been working on for over a decade, and it would seem that Apple is charting new ground by being the first company to pull it off.

They did, while having 10% less memory bandwidth and a fifth of the power budget. It was an obvious lie. Compute benchmarks just demonstrate it.

The legal restrictions on where you can build a new home are more of a problem in California than in rural Arkansas so your response doesn't address OP's point.
Yea i have this issue also. The only alternative was to put the ipad to left of the monitor in displays and drag across to get to it. Works but not good. Hopefully apple will fix soon.
The Germans, Japanese and the French would like a word.
I think a lot of people on forums focus on the difficulty and gameplay aspects because they're easier to have a conversation around. But, as a big fan of the 'series', I've always been in it mostly for the unparalleled aesthetic and atmosphere. Firelink Shrine in and of itself is one of my favorite locations period, because it's like a complete inversion of a typical fantasy game hub - almost dead, surrounded directly on all sides by danger, full of secrets, populated by NPCs that are either gravely depressed or dangerous. It's this strange isle of safety that isn't necessarily welcoming. Also, as I found out in my first playthrough, magic spells sent from that stupid bridge reach Firelink, killing AFK players who triggered the enemy. Ahem... Not that it happened to me.
There is a new bridge being constructed here over a ~200 foot span across the river and it is nearing four years of work and not yet done.
> No, we can't.

Well, we can. Some people here have even suggested just _how_ we can, so it's not that we can't. We're just not. You know, for reasons.

> We can't agree on your stance, because other people have different stances.

We can't agree on your stance on racism because other people have different stances.

To put my point less facetiously; opinions aren't the end of a discussion, they're the beginning. Presumably these stances you speak of are based on something. Well okay, this guys stance is based on something too. Discuss the merits of each and you can arrive at one stance that's more correct than the other. Unless of course one of you stops at some point in the discussion and says "Yeah, well, that's just like, your opinion, man".
Did I get this straight :

The article says in essence says he supposedly replaced in his houselhold both known knowns and known unknowns with unknown unknowns in the interest of improving security and thwarting poisoners in the direst time of crisis since he took power ?

Damn, sounds really counter-intuitive. I guess I really need to go read some army's manual on personal security.
Ha, I found the same thing. It’s very buggy right now. But I think there’s still an important grain of truth in the idea that it “just works”. OK it’s buggy, so it doesn’t always work. But when it does, it just works. It’s all or nothing. That’s why people prefer Apple stuff and are willing to overlook bugs. Their competitor’s products come with caveats that go way beyond “it’s got a few bugs we haven’t ironed out yet”.
>"there's nothing that anyone cares about."

Yes, but especially there's nothing that you care about. Some people find it nearly impossible to remember something that they see no value in.

My wife has tried to explain to me the difference between hand-towels, dish towels, wash-clothes, face-clothes, and so on, many times. I want to make her happy... but I just can't remember what she said five minutes later. It's like my brain rejected it in some sort of self-defense memetic immune response.

A lot of tasks at work are like that.

(I kind of vaguely have a notion of 'big towels' and 'small towels', but that's as fine a distinction as I can make.)
I think the disconnect may be if we're talking about an American bartender, they're likely getting paid below minimum wage (welcome to USA tipped wages) by the establishment. They have no power over the setup of the establishment and likely dislike both their boss and the customers. Source: I know a bunch of bartenders here in NYC.

This argument is ridiculous.

Huh? How does that prove the exact opposite? Mexico said they won’t join anti-US alliance. Ukraine still wanted to join NATO right before the invasion.
He also states this datum isn’t brought up in climate change discussions. It absolutely is brought up. Just listen to just about any interview with David Wallace-Wells and he’ll say it’s a mixed bag with some regions seeing benefits and others catastrophe. And that’s just one author. This overstatement suggests questionable motives.

At the perl conference in Monterey, (looking it up...) July of 2000 (Yep, Lingua::Romana::Perligata was introduced), my Indian co-worker and I were considering the conference lunch. Plastic boxes with a white bread BLT, ham, turkey, or just a plain LT for the vegetarians; an apple; and a bag of potato chips... it was pretty bland.

So we decided to set out something better.

The first restaurant we came to was an Irish pub. Looking at a map, it was probably The Crown & Anchor. We looked at the menu and I was starting to think that this wasn't going to be acceptable - it was all meat... and while that was fine for me, my coworker had other constraints... but his eyes weren't drawn to the fish and chips or steak sandwich that my eyes were - he immediately saw "curry" and "vegetable".

It was a good lunch.

One of the comments that he made was that with Indian restaurants, they are all very much a family's recipes and no two are the same. One shouldn't expect consistency of flavors between them. And then yes, it becomes a mix with the local styles too. But British pubs are all fairly consistent. The quality may be variable - but a British pub curry is likely going to be pretty much the same from one to another - east coast to west coast.
Where are you getting that from the article? He seems to address that point:

> Both of these calculations are based on average temperature. Arguably what habitability depends on is be maximum temperature. If it gets unendurably hot during a summer day, the fact that winter nights are cold is little compensation.
And in the future, they could be anything. Finland expanded the allowed characters in person identification numbers to support people born after 2000. Usually bad idea to be too strict in checking fields where people manually enter text.

Yeah, Apple's slide seems carefully cropped to show discrete GPU limited going to 320W, so the M1 comes on top on a performance vs. power ratio. But the 3090 Ti has TBP of 450W [1], which likely explains why its raw performance easily beats the M1.

Prepare to be impressed, the bootloader this installs to be able to boot Linux was first made for the capability of transparently running macOS under its hypervisor intercepting every hardware call transparently and streaming it to remote PCs to enable reverse engineering.
I remember the housing boom around 2005-ish in my area. They were throwing houses together at an amazing pace. Private building contracts with a friendly regulatory environment.

My state is ranked among the highest in fraud related to public works projects like building roads. Basically the game is: Start a company, bid so low you know you won't succeed, take your cut, start a build, declare bankruptcy, rinse/repeat. Easy money, no consequences.

I'm pretty sure the government/bureaucracy is in on the take because they do nothing about it. The mayor of my city was on the board of the company that manages the toll system.
You were referring to Kim Stanley Robinson's latest book, The Ministry for the Future. I have read both and recommend both highly.

One thing that's pretty easy to understand is the network effect of complexity.

You don't have to check many things if you have few things in place. Each item creates an exponential increase in complexity for the next one. Another reason why things slow down is that as you add things to a system, they have a maintenance cost, the more you add the more you approach an equilibrium of costs == capacity.

This is, in part, explains why it becomes inevitably hard to add to a very large codebase -- you might have many many scrum teams simply maintaining what is, and each Nth new item has to do N-1 compatibility checks.
If American, you're leaving out the factor that the bartender is likely paid below minimum wage by the establishment thanks to our tipped wages laws.
Yeah, this is clearly BS. Recently I changed the turn switch on my car. How did I learn how to do that? From the Internet, specifically from watching videos. It was easily the most efficient way to learn.

There are a bunch of different factors:

- Wages are high, so labor for construction is very expensive (not unique to the US)

- It's difficult to acquire property to build new stuff in existing cities compared to building in new places.

- It is also incredibly slow/expensive to build subways if you try to prioritize minimizing inconvenience to nearby residents above all else (cut-and-cover is MUCH faster/cheaper than tunneling).

- The US is also not very interested in trying to learn from what construction techniques, etc. have worked for public transit in other countries

Aside from the first point, a lot of this comes down to the fact that even in places in the US that have decent public transit, transit is treated more as a toy that is nice to have than a serious priority by the government, and it is only built when it doesn't cause any inconvenience to residents/drivers/etc.

The US has historically been willing to demolish low income areas and force people to move in order to build highways, however.
It would be entertaining. But it wouldn't hurt the O&G companies.

The gas is already paid for by the gas stations at X price. Arbitrarily lowering it to $0.01/gal does not do anything but hurt the local gas station owner or piss off minimum wage worker(s) dealing with the fallout.

The unionization movement was built on solving the safety issues of the day for workers exposed to employers who found employees to be expendable. The topic here is about how those safety expectations once established by unions slow down construction. Labor laws now cover those concerns, so the decline in unionization is largely irrelevant. The entire workforce has become a member of the de facto union.
What about Oroville dam repairs? It was a pretty successful and fast engineering project. I think that America can still build quickly if she wants to. But most of the projects are not that important.

They have low production capacity but so far they expended small part of their stock of cruice/balistic missiles.

Also, they are flying low because they weren't able to destroy Ukrainian air defense so flying high is still quite dangerous. When they're flying low air defence has no enough time to react - it's still dangerous but less so.

I think nowadays the projects are simply more profitable if they are long and slow.
I wrote an ELI25 explanation in a comment a few months ago, and I'll copy it here:

In quantum mechanics the wave function Ψ is has complex values. If you multiply everything in the universe by -1, nothing changes because all the physical results use ΨΨ* (where * is the complex conjugation). You can also multiply everything by i or -i. Moreover by any other complex number of modulo 1 because ΨΨ* does not change. (The technical term for this is U(1) global gauge symmetry.)

But you can be more ambitious and want to multiply each point of the universe by a different complex number of modulo 1. ΨΨ* does not change but the derivatives of Ψ change and they are also important. (When you use the same complex number everywhere, the derivatives is just a multiple of the original derivative. When you use a different number in each point, it changes.)

The only way to fix the problem with the derivative is to add a new field A. When you and multiply each point of the universe by a different complex number of modulo 1, then A changes in a simple to calculate but not obvious way. The change in A fix the problem with the derivatives of Ψ.

So now the equations of the universe with Ψ and A don't change when you make this change. (The technical term for this is U(1) local gauge symmetry.) When you write carefully how a universe like this look like, the new field A is electromagnetism. (Actually, you can get the electric field and magnetic field using the derivatives of A.)

Too many more details in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantum_electrodynamics#Mathem...

> I assume it's either trivial or too complicated.

It's trivial once you have 3 or 4 years studding Physics, but you will never understand how it is related to the magnets in your refrigerator. [There are like 5 simplification steps between U(1) and magnets in the refrigerator. Each one makes sense, but I can't see all of them together in my head.]
Thanks for the feedback! Will look into it
> The term "CPE" seems to be more about device ownership than technical function.

Not ownership, location. CPE can be owned by the network provider or by the customer.

But it indeed doesn't have a clearly defined technical function. CPE can be just a modem, a consumer all-in-one device, or a "proper" enterprise-y router from Cisco/Juniper/...
The arkenfox user.js is not default in Firefox because there are tradeoffs between security, privacy and usability. The Tor Browser is a Firefox that sacrifices some usability.

The same goes for most other software. It would be desirable for all cloud databases for example to hide their data and what being searched from the server, but that can be only done securely with an unpractical (logarithmic) communication or computation overhead (using searchable encryption).
If you'd like to test your current sites with a screen reader, give NVDA a try. It's open source and free. I package a portable version with PortableApps.com and have used it for testing software for quite a few years now.
