Well, it's part of the game, isn't it? Or if I buy and expect it to go higher, they'll rollback and reimburse me if it falls?
I don’t think I need NoSQL. It’s just that I hate having to map my structured data into tables and rows and joins and schemas and primary keys. A document|object|key-value store just usually maps better to the data I’m trying to model than a trumped up spreadsheet that requires me to speak a foreign language to it. Other’s mileage may vary of course. Just been my experience in the domains I’ve worked in.

(Ironically, I agree very much with your general sentiment, just not the example of illustration you chose)
I see that you currently have a "filters" interface, I would love to see that expand a bit. I thought it was a bit funny that aside from price, the only option for filtering is shops. I've been wanting a website like this, largely because I don't really care what shop I buy the thing from. I get that this may be the only data you have readily available to filter on, and that it may be useful for others... just not so much for me.
If you have sound mental health and
are extremely driven, are able to focus despite the courseload and competition, and you are confident you'll graduate on time, then pick MIT. You minimize debt by graduating as soon as possible.

Average folk may take 5-6 years to graduate with an engineering degree because it's that difficult. Gotta retake classes and work part time, haha.

Regardless of college, what you do outside of classes is more important (networking). There are smart people everywhere, so you're not missing much if you skip MIT.

I will say though, the MIT campus is right by the river and has a serene feeling. Are you able to visit the place, and do you like the idea of being there for the next 4 years? If you have a mental health issue like seasonal affective disorder, you'll be miserable at MIT due to the geography, and no amount of justifying a bad location will save you.

Having some extra money means you can afford to study abroad. Picking up a new language may become your passion.

Either way, I don't think there's a wrong choice. You'll have to weigh and rank your desires accordingly.
Fide Ethics imposes a six-month ban on Karjakin
Ray Dalio seems to think the opposite: that the US is in the falling Empire stages (think 3rd-4th century AD) where there is a lot of internal strife and the economy is stumbling. A new enemy is rising to challenge the existing superpower and the will to expand and fight is no longer there (Germanic tribes and the Sassanids for Rome, China for the US). I think peak US ala the Roman Republic would've either been right after WW2 or right after the USSR fell (Gulf War era basically).
The secret language of South Asia’s transgender community
As Russia is already committing extensive genocide in Ukraine then this possibility could not be dismissed.

But Ukraine supporting countries should not fear nuclear threat but instead counter every claim of possible nuclear attack with counter threat of escalation.

Nothing will encourage nuclear attack than the possibility of getting away with it.
I wonder how much this has to do with their recent departures. It seems that since the launch of W3 they've been losing a lot of people. If you count programmers among them, then maintaining the engine codebase got a lot harder...

The founding of Rome involved one brother killing the other over a hill… and if you don’t think they had large scale civil war, you simply haven’t read Roman history
Targets of opportunity are problems that have a distinct value in being solved which is less than the naive cost of fixing it.

Not the actual cost of fixing it, the 'drop everything and work on it now' cost, adjusted for Murphy's law. These are often the sort of 'nice to haves' that come out to 3 months of work, which nobody is going to approve unless a customer is actively yelling in their face about it. And sometimes not even then.

Refactoring is Make the Change Easy, Then Make the Easy Change. If you don't know what your targets of opportunity are, because you have some misguided notion that you can't [have an adult conversation about the state of things](https://www.jimcollins.com/concepts/confront-the-brutal-fact...) without tender egos being hurt, then instead of moving toward any of the horizons you'll just sail in a big circle while people keep trying to get you to venture farther afield.
I don't see why the government contracts would act as a shield for SpaceX. It's not like being forced to carry a competitor is going to make them unable to carry the government's rockets.
>But microkernels tend to have poor performance.

Before we learned how to make them fast, perhaps. They do now tend to be very fast[0][1].

>One of the reasons for this could be high context switch latency.

As multiserver systems pass a lot of messages around, the important metric is IPC cost. Liedtke demonstrated microkernels do not have to be slow, with L3 and later L4. Liedtke's findings have endured fairly well[2] through time. It helps to know that seL4[3] has an order of magnitude faster IPC relative to Linux.

You'd need it to do a lot (think thousands of times) more IPC for the aggregated IPC to be slower than Linux.

>So I was thinking what could be done here.

I don't have a link at hand, but there's some involvement and synergy between seL4 team and RISC-V. I am hopeful it is enough to prevent the bad scenario where RISC-V is overoptimized for the now obsolete UNIX design, and a bad fit to contemporary OS architectures.

No, but I do think that this push is at least 10 years too soon with regard to optics / display tech alone. Clunky headsets are a huge obstacle to adoption, and have been since I first tried VR in the 80s.
What you describe sounds like top down development (“in the small”). When you try to use it for bottom-up reasoning, you get Jupyter notebooks.
Nice article, but the author says up front that he wrote the book with an angle:

> I jokingly said when I started writing, that I wanted people to come out of it with a general feeling of unease about what’s going on in the United States and in the West generally. To emerge from reading the book, go back to flipping on the news, and think, “This is not good.”

So... if you read it and think "wow this is eerily parallel to our current reality," it's going to be hard to know how much of that is because it _really was_ eerily parallel, and how much is because the author _wanted it to feel_ eerily parallel.
The significant majority of accessibility issues found by those sorts of large-range studies are comparatively minor, and often completely spurious. I have been decidedly unimpressed with every such study that I have delved into the results of.

(I know you’re arguing against someone claiming 100% accessibility coverage as a requirement, but I wanted to point out that figures like 98.8% are grossly inflated and quite meaningless.)
I've definitely decided that fishing for parallels is counter-productive. It's worthwhile to educate yourself on history (and Duncan's book is a great read) but I personally do my best to quell that anxiety-response "Is this us?" question while I read.

History is path-dependent and all stories are retro-actively told. There are a lot of cases where it depends on the people in the room, or the sentiment of the people in the room that day, or even something so random as taking a wrong turn and coming across a group of anarchists ready to throw some bombs (WW1). When looking at Rome, it's better to draw broad parallels with little weight.
The article gets into that at the very end: the lungs are near the top of the tortoise, which also helps it flip back onto its feet.

I wasn't really taking issue with the post title; I just thought it was an excuse to share something that I thought was pretty neat :-)
Putin's War and the Chaos Climbers
Yup, in a corporate environment, it's often a very rational reason to say, we already know X. The full meaning is, we have a bunch of stuff built in it, we have a dozen experts on it on staff, we have hiring and training pipelines for it, we have a bunch of standard tools built around it, etc. Even if Y is legitimately better, switching is very expensive and time-consuming. Just trying Y doesn't help much, if we do anything significant with it, then we have to double our efforts in keeping experience with X and Y in house, keeping tools compatible with both, keeping watch on security updates for both, etc. It's pretty rare for such switches to ever generate any business value.

To people from the world of smaller companies, "microservices" means creating a lot of JSON / GraphQL services and trying to make them talk to each other reliably.

People from big companies are also doing microservices but they don't necessarily call it that. They use typed inter-process communication technology such as protocol buffer / thrift etc, and work in a monorepo with statically typed languages. This makes things much more likely to work.

I suspect that in general smaller companies doing microservices should move in the direction of what the bigger companies are doing.
I can’t speak for Apple’s design process, but for me, I’ve thought of and seen some personal projects use PCIe connectors because they’re cheap and have dozens of connections. I even saw a teardown on EEVBlog a while back of a piece of test equipment that used PCIe connectors for board-to-board interconnects.

For $2 or so in quantity 1, I can order an x16 connector from DigiKey and have 164 pins to connect two modules together. And being an edge connector, I don’t need one for each board (like “DuPont” or DIN 41612 does). If the board won’t be removed, you could even get away with the free tin plating (skipping gold).
>However it's not because an influx of workers doesn't create downward pressure on wages. It's because there's other factors which keep wages rising.

So one of the main theories about that paper is that the immigrants were in a largely separate labor market in terms of skills/experience from local workers. When they raised the labor supply in their particular market, it increased entreprenurial activity and more labor was hired across many labor markets as a result.
IIRC Rome was conquered (EDIT: sacked, see replies) at least once during its history as a republic and forced to rebuild. An event like that could just as easily have indicated "the end" for them, but it didn't for whatever reason.

My Sony full frame mirrorless can take multiple frames for HDR with the flip of a setting. I'm sure whatever you're using can too. Swap the shutter setting to turn on bracketing and decide what attribute you want to change (exposure, aperture, shutter speed, or ISO are all options).

That said, rarely are HDR shots actually desirable IMO.
USSR fell in 1989, the climate in the US is a post-iraq thing and China is fiercely rivaling and competing against the US in all fronts. Even America's reaction to Russia bs Ukraine is tailored to send a message to China.

The Xenophobia in America is a walk in the park compared to any European country. Still the best place for immigrants. Income inequality is bad but povery has improved a lot and so has crime compared to previous decades. I mean, the great depression was literally before WW2 which is obviously a worse time than now (ask any black person or non-european immigrant how unequal or xenophobic America was back then!) after which there was a great economic boom.

Perhaps the past is easier to measure than the present?

A lot of the political norm that is being erased now is for 20th century norms. I would say Andrew Jackson shooting people on the whitehouse lawn was a norm. Congress attending Church every sunday at the Capitol was also a norm and it was erased.

I think a lot of people correlate without articulating causation to sound smart.
The worst offender for geofencing is honestly the city of beverly hills. Bird scooters don't work in their borders at all, but their borders aren't so clear when you are just riding the bird. Imagine going down a busy 6 lane road full of angry west LA drivers and your scooter just runs out of steam leaving you stranded in 50mph traffic that would rather see you laid out than make way for you. When I told the bird tech support I wanted my money back for them risking my life in this way, they informed me this was expected behavior.

Same issue in some other parts of town to a lesser extent, like on some parts of hollywood blvd. Gee, why is my scooter coming to a stop in the middle of a busy intersection? Oh, some local assholes must have complained to the city councilman and had this virtual bear trap installed in the middle of a busy road, lets hope I don't die trying to wheel this thing off.
Never used Teams myself, but this sounds more plausible to me. MS stuff mostly works fine, but you need to buy into the ecosystem fully. Usually Unix people try a few MS things, try to use it just like their Unix things, and bash it because it's not exactly the same.
Same experience with my Pixel 3A as well. I charged it, every day and a half on LineageOS
I can get behind that reasoning.
> self documenting code is better because as you are working on a code base with many people, it is unlikely they will keep your prose up to date as the code is changed.

There is no reason to believe they are any more likely to keep code self-documenting (or to succeed even if they try) - it is not as if it will not compile or run unless it is.

I see literate programming to be an attempt to put some rigor into the otherwise terminally vague concept of self-documenting code (conceptually, it is way beyond the platitudes in 'clean code', even though it came first.) It is, however, doomed to failure in practice because it always takes less information (and less skill) to merely specify what a program will do than it does to not only specify what it will do but also explain and justify that as a correct and efficient solution to a problem that matters.

Neither 'literate' nor 'self-documenting' code are objective concepts.
Could this be improved by a government agency where they do this paperwork for you at a per-employee cost if your company is under X employees (say 3x the limit at which the paperwork kicks in)?
That's a popular take, but I don't know how much it holds water.

What really does seem to be the sad, sad reality is that America needs external enemies or else it feeds on itself. Since the fall of the USSR politics have gotten steadily nastier, but all the sudden people are finding lots of common ground in solitary against the Russian invasion of Ukraine.

But will that solidarity last more than a few news cycles?
I find people who constantly look for parallels insufferable. Yes you can look two a few factors and say they look like some other society but the buck stops there. America isn’t Rome and won’t go the same path regardless. There’s a certain type of person I see on my social media who equates every single bad thing in history with the current day. Nazi Germany and now Ukraine “giving you their guns” is the goto. Rome has an allure to it, I get it I feel it myself, but history doesn’t repeat itself and groups of humans (especially civilizations) have so much more nuance to them it’s a disservice to both Rome and American history.

Was that something you learned from someone else, or something you did because you didn't agree with how others had done it?

I haven't run into a story like this often. Not in my own history, or talking to others over beers. I think you might not realize how unusual your reaction is, in the grand scheme of things. If you could try to convince some of your peers to do the same, a lot of people you never meet will benefit greatly by it.

Rome itself became less important over time, and the later emperors never even went there as they were too busy fighting the many civil wars, traitors, etc. or just being assassinated
After having enough of Microsoft about 8 weeks ago I've tested several distros. I have a wide screen monitor and need fractional scaling of 1.25.

With wayland all non native apps were blurry.

Ubuntu LTS worked best, but I dislike Snap so I ended up with Linux Mint.

Nevertheless, if the fractional scaling issues with wayland are solved I'd like to give Fedora a try.

P.S.: I'm more than happy with Linux. Really, night and day compared to Windows. 15 years ago everything was easy with Windows and hard with Linux Desktop. Now it's the opposite.

Maybe the multi-billion dollar ones, yes. But the idea of a corporation, at its heart, is to collectively work towards a goal. Crony Capitalism just warped that goal to be about the betterment of the ultrarich. If FAANG or whoever is violating the law, that’s because of the company, not attorney-client privilege. The solution isn’t to kneecap every company by removing their rights, but to enforce the laws on the books against the anti-competitive corporations, and maybe write some new consumer protection ones.

Well, it generally is, given 90% or more of a typical 911's driving is probably not on the track or strip. Think of how many rich retirees have them simply for the build quality and status that comes with it.

What everyone's missing is that smartphone cameras are a completely different use case than dedicated cameras; whether it be your hobby or profession, a DSLR/other standalone camera is something you take because you're trying to take stunning pictures and you're willing to tinker with the photo before and after it's shot. A phone camera is designed to look stunning, and while you can shoot in RAW, it's designed to get shots for people that only take pictures to later remember the time they spent in a place - these are the same people that would've instead purchased a cheap pocket camera for their road trip and would only see those photos again when they were scrapbooking.
https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/1541259335 is also a great book. As is Stanford GraphBase.

My personal bet is that it is probably easier to collaborate on something like this than you would think. The imposed structure of programs, in general, already makes a lot of collaboration tough.
Are you getting this to work straight to mobile? I use the crappy wifi share to get shots onto my phone on the go, but I'd much rather get the RAW files over vs. a downsampled JPEG if possible. Might be worth carrying a small USB-C to lightning cable if it works straight to iPhone.

Tweets like this proves why CSS is so badly designed. It is a bad idea to add a feature only to satisfy random government mandate. The committee should have reflected more and abstracted out and implemented something that was more general and widely usable.

It's unlikely that the US will fall into chaos and political disarray so those are not really the problems people are talking about when they mention increasing income inequality and more polarized politics. And you're right that empires don't really fall in short time frames, it's a more drawn out process but when decaying institutions are combined with shocks to the system like global warming, famines, wars, pandemics, etc. then it becomes much harder to be optimistic about the status quo and the people in charge of managing these shocks.

Things are a lot more fragile and unstable than people realize so it's important to zoom out and look at all these issues in aggregate in order to formulate effective plans for revitalizing decaying democratic institutions so that we can properly deal with the inevitable shocks that cause the decline and collapse of nations.
