Think twice before choosing XPS, read carefully reviews about the variant/model you choose.

From my own experience, I can't recommend XPS. In my company developers were getting XPS'es (both 13 and 15 inch models) the last 3 years and now almost nobody wants them anymore. Our IT switched back to Latitude models. Different kind of issues...

I personally have been using XPS 13 9380 the last few years. Had lot of expectations when I got the laptop, but it was disappointment after all. I mainly run Windows on it, but also have OpenSuse dual boot setup. Issues I experienced with my model:

- Crappy trackpad. Most annoying of all issues. Mouse pointer may sporadically jump an generate clicks when using trackpad. Same happens on Windows and Linux, must be HW related. I changed HW one time, it helped a bit but trackpad still sucks on my model! Worst of all laptops I ever had.

- Windows and Hybrid-sleep is terrible experience. Laptop may overheat in the bag (known issue, recognized by dell, see https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28639952) and battery last barely 1 day in such sleep. Under Linux this is not an issue as OS still uses the old fashioned sleep strategy.

- WiFi stability issues under Windows. Also the Killer WiFi HW on this laptop is not impressive... cheap solution.

- CPU cooling under Windows kicks quite often, even when laptop is not loaded too much.

After all, it works. But at the same time it could be much better. As of now I feel very ready for the MacBook...
I think we're all missing the forest because all the cores are in the way:

The contention on that memory means that only segregated non-cooporative as in not "joint parallel on the same memory atomic" will scale on this hardware better than on a 4-core vanilla Xeon from 2018 per watt.

So you might aswell buy 20 Jetson Nanos and connect them over the network.

Let that sink in... NOTHING is improving at all... there is ZERO point to any hardware that CAN be released for eternity at this point.

Time to learn JavaSE and roll up those sleves... electricity prices are never coming down (in real terms) no matter how high the interest rate.

As for GPUs, I'm calling it now: nothing will dethrone the 1030 in Gflops/W in general and below 30W in particular; DDR4 or DDR5, doesn't matter.

Memory is the latency bottleneck since DDR3.

The comments on this thread seem to be quite wildly missing White's point. Many of the arguments taking place here seem premised on the idea that Ken White has attempted to solve, once and for all, the "cancel culture" problem --- or somehow write a dispositive argument that "cancel culture" isn't real.

He's not doing any of these things. He's responding to a specific NYT staff editorial.

White agrees with many of you that disproportionate responses to speech happen, are harmful, and are occurring regularly. He cites several instances, from both sides of the American political spectrum. You don't have to come up with an elaborate argument about how White is wrong about how harmful "cancel culture" is; White almost certainly agrees with you (at least in a general sense; maybe not in your particulars).

His point is that you have to discuss something more particular than "the right to speak your mind without fear of shame or shunning". You've never had that right. You can't have it. To be free of shame or shunning is to be free of other people's speech. If you're saying something provocative, you are almost certainly responding in a sense to something someone else said; if you think you have the right to speak without shame or shunning, so does the person you're effectively responding to. At best, you're arguing for what White has in the past mockingly referred to as a "replevin of feels"; at worst, what you're asking for is totally incoherent.

This Substack post would be bigger news if Ken White had, Solomonically, worked out the whole problem of disproportionate responses to speech. He has not, and I think he's probably much too smart to try. He's just critiquing someone else's bad argument. That's all you really have to engage with here; you don't have to let cortisol trick you into believing this is an amassing of the forces of "cancel culture isn't real" that you must mobilize against.
There is constant production and deliveries being made, just no standing inventory.
This monitor being 60Hz is a joke, both for gaming and regular desktop use. Get a gaming monitor instead.

I use a DisplayPort and USB KVM switch to comfortably switch between my gaming PC and Mac mini.

Both PC gaming and Mac work in 144Hz, PC also with G-SYNC.

Also, Intel has a history of producing or commissioning open-source drivers for its GPU. I like the peace of mind I get from knowing I'm not going to have to fight dirty for the privilege of getting my own GPU to do the work I bought it to perform.
I think you misunderstand the intention. The parent comment is comparing uptime to their own system and declare superiority, and the one you reply to is asking the the opposite — the duration of downtime.

Sure you can build your own infrastructure but don’t pretend that’s superior. Each has its pros and cons.

The last line probably is making fun of their reaction — any person as dogmatic as the parent commenter would comment someone with their own infrastructure going down with that comment.
I think his notion of "disproportionate response to to speech" is a good start, but is too generic to help us understand why this has become an issue of discussion over the past decade.

When I think of cancel culture, my primary thought is of private individuals facing meaningful harms (mainly economic) as a result of public outcry over the individuals (perfectly legal) speech or actions that signal the individual is "on the wrong team".

It's not a simple definition, but captures both why people are afraid of it, and why it is happening now (social media made it possible to make a private individual's speech and actions public, even if that individual wasn't a user of that platform).

Public figures losing speaking engagements or whatever is bad, but the targeting of private individuals in this manner is an escalation of political conflict that is very alarming.

Lastly, I will add that while this evil is not exclusively committed by the Left, there is absolutely an asymmetry. The Left has generally been far more likely to cancel people than the reverse. There are a number of possible causes (people on the left are more politically active, will be amplified by a left -leaning media industry, etc)

Folding bikes are really cool but the small wheels mean you really feel any unevenness it the road.
I hope you realize that your argument is based on the impossibility of proving a negative.
Cancel culture is just a symptom.

As I see it, the Internet has created two problems:

(1) Everyone now has a voice -- yeah that's cool but society isn't handling it too well yet

(2) It's now easy to associate with people who think like you -- cool but absolutely terrible

What happens is that now a bulk of the things you hear come from your own circle (which is self affirming!) and then when you hear something from outside your circle, it feels so far off that it causes you to react violently (a.k.a. you want to cancel them).

The problem is: you can't get rid of that violent reaction. It's natural and human to dislike things that you're unfamiliar with. (Actually I think every living thing is like that -- being wary of unfamiliar things is essential to survival.)

So the only thing you can do is desensitize yourself by hanging out with a diverse set of people. I don't know how we can make society as a whole do that more, but the Internet is allowing some people to do it a lot less.

To make matters worse, before when it didn't matter if Jane or Frank were totally clueless, it matters now because because Jane and Frank both have a voice and can tweet about it.
Yeah, and the growing user base, widening ecosystem, and continual stream of analysis packages being written only in R suggests that lots of others agree.

An important factor not often mentioned is that I think R really helps individual developers/very small teams to be productive.
I don't work in the industry, but as an outsider your question seems to answer itself. I would wager that Unity wants to take the step from the hobbyist space to the professional space — because surely that's where the bigger sums are made. Even if they're not there right now, consistently putting out content that indicates that you're working on it is a great way to captivate your audience over time and shift the perception of what your brand is about. In the startup space, this would be similar to building in the open — it helps you signal your brand, build a reputation and, hopefully, build a customer base that matches your sell.
Nope. Nope. Nope. Do not want. That’s too good. It’s creepy good. I need to know what’s real and what isn’t. This is so real that I’m freaking out a bit.
> Their main users are people who build games for phones and indies, with basically zero usage in the AAA space

They don't need to convince their already huge and already convinced core users, so there's not much point in building big tech demos that apply in that space. The aspirational AAA stuff that Unity puts out does 3 things I think:

- convince current indies with big dreams that their investment in unity has long legs if they grow larger and more ambitious.

- open up to non-gaming gfx tech sectors: broadcast, movies, simulation, etc.

- push their engine to its limits so they know where it hurts the most in places that actual users are not pushing. (it has many known rough edges and areas, but Unity users already report these)
>I can verify the phone number but then it keeps asking me to verify a code that's sent on the same email.

I have a recovery phone number in there. I'm verifying it everytime Google asks me to, but then it takes me to verify the code from the same email that I don't have access to.

It makes no sense but that's what's happening.

Here's the flow of how it's going.

Forgot Password → Enter the phone number ending with XX → Enter the code sent to your phone → Enter the code sent to your email (the same email).

I've tried the recovery methods, there's no other way that Google is offering me to recover the account. I'll happily answer all the security questions if Google asks me to.
> narrowing of speech will come for those who believe themselves immune.

True, but on other hand, history has shown us the Paradox of Tolerance.

"Liberals" have learned this lesson. When I was growing up, people who I would consider socially liberal generally supported the "I disagree with what you say, but will defend your right to say it" position. These days, the same people are less confident. I'm one of them.

I want a free and open society where people can discuss ideas and those ideas are weighed on their merits and the ridiculous ones (racism, sexism, homophobia, etc) are laughed at.

But that's not what's happened. The Overton Window in the US has dramatically shifted.

I don't know how to fix this. I don't even know that there is a fix for this. But I can certainly understand the mindset that says "maybe we don't need to defend nazis?"
Wonder what the most common occupation is, worldwide.
I sincerely hope that the ban will be upheld. The longer this war lasts, the more severe and deep the cutoff of Russia should be. And Russians are very proud of their chess players. Small things add up to the big picture. Stand by your decision, FIDE!
If you can't explicitly say it, can you at least describe in what ways it is "less free than, say, the 1990s?"

If not, the comment loses value.
This seems like an argument to have better "public squares" and better regulations against monopolies, rather than enforcing private entities to platform others.

As long as you can put it in a docker container, those are great.
In my mind it's just a colloquialism for a certain kind of illiberalism:

> "Cancel culture" is the belief that certain beliefs about race, gender, and equality are so utterly indefensible that anyone holding them is necessarily acting in bad faith and consequently deserving of punishment.

In practice, this means moral condemnation in place of consideration and argumentation, which is precisely illiberalism.

What distinguishes "cancel culture" from, say, the conservative hatred of communism, is the whiff of hypocrisy that comes from the use of mob rule to enforce what are ostensibly academic positions, and the frequent reference to inclusivity as a justification of social exclusion.
If someone has access to your laptop with a logged-in Gmail account, they could change your password and log you out of your other devices, effectively gaining total control of your account and locking you out.
What happened to point 3
I can't prove that something doesn't exist, no. You have to prove that it does exist.

Hence you can't just say that I need to read more, I have read enough that I know the topic isn't something they care about so it is basically absent everywhere. If they actually do care about it I would like to read the book or study, I have searched a lot for them but they don't seem to exist.

And you can't say that the topic is so obscure that it wouldn't be covered anywhere. The rate at which men get shot by police and get put into prison more is one of the highest and most notable disparage effects any demographic faces, black people are twice as likely to get shot as white people, but men are 20 times as likely to get shot as women. If they really cared about those things then this would be covered in every introductory book to the subject, yet I fail to find even a single one who even brings it up as a footnote.

I'd be fine with CRT if it was practiced properly, but everything I've seen of it tells me it isn't practiced properly. That is what happens when you call everyone who criticises it racists or similar, then you don't listen to feedback and the field gets corrupted.
We're still nginx + PHP + Aurora something like 30 million users in and ten years later. Horizontally scales beautifully. Couple small microservices but no containers outside of CI.
I think you miss the point entirely, Unity is reaching different space outside of mobile game, think about 3d, movies, vfx, ads etc ...

It has been a while since Unity is not just a mobile engine.
Ah, that's annoying.
That was, for many of us, our ability to be heard. Our ability to speak was not hindered by fear of having our lives ruined for holding an unpopular opinion or asking an incorrectly phrased question.
Intriguing design and it looks like they've sold enough to see some real-world success, but I can't help but think the headset must be under extreme torque with a 150+ lb person sitting on essentially a large lever.

That and the small wheels don't inspire confidence dealing with the typical curbs & potholes that one is likely to encounter in an urban environment.

What's the use-case for folding bikes like this? Is there a pervasive lack of bike racks in certain places that would necessitate stowing a bike in such small quarters?
> I know that whenever I’m doing a code review and I see some property or variable name like “timeout” or “size” I will ask the developer to change the name to make it clear what the unit is trying to portray.

In a dynamic language, maybe.

In a static language, especially Haskell/Scala/Ocaml/F#, I hate duplicating the type.
the issues I see with kubernetes ingress are more related to an ingress pod going down than the upstream.
ah good tip, I don't care about session affinity or custom balancing algos so that works. I'd imagine running in GKE or AWS you would also avoid the DNAT / conntrack overhead as pods by default use a routable VPC IP instead of a magic CNI IP. Would have to test that though.

Quote from related issue:

The NGINX ingress controller does not uses Services to route traffic to the pods. Instead it uses the Endpoints API in order to bypass kube-proxy to allow NGINX features like session affinity and custom load balancing algorithms. It also removes some overhead, such as conntrack entries for iptables DNAT.
Matter of taste/notation. Both definitions 0,1,2,... and 1,2,3,... are very, very common.
Even if we got to the point where the digital humans are indistinguishable from real footage, all your realism is gonna go out the window when you encounter a bug where a character is half-clipped into a wall. Or when an animation breaks and someone is standing with a backwards bent knee, and no reaction on their face.

The idea that the ultimate endgame for video games is to have them look like a playable movie, or be a real-world simulation just seems silly to me.
Same reason Dell adds USB-C, DP, HDMI to their monitors: so you can use their product in preference to someone else’s.

Buy the Apple monitor, be impressed, buy the Studio to go with it.
I don't think so, but I could be wrong. While gas does play a role in the price in a lot of different things like you state, the percentage of the final price of that item that includes fuel is usually very, very small.

Some back of the envelope estimates:

The last mile is usually going to be the largest expenditure of fuel per dollar of product transported. A semi truck gets 5 mpg on the low end and with diesel fuel currently at $5/gallon, that means it would cost just $2,700 in fuel to ship an entire truck load from New York to Los Angeles (much farther than most products would ever be trucked). Assume the truck is loaded with a low price, low margin product like toilet paper and you might ship around 4,000 small packs of toilet paper for a total fuel cost of $0.67 per roll. So if fuel prices doubled to $10 gallon, you would be looking at an increased cost of $0.67 per pack of toilet paper that is normally, maybe $10. So you are looking at a 7-10% increase in the cost of that toilet paper due to a doubling of fuel prices.

Of course, fuel is needed for the equipment that cuts the trees and the energy to manufacture that toilet paper, the plastic it is wrapped in, etc. But, we have to remember that we are talking about an inexpensive yet bulky product that we are shipping across the entire US and the weight is low so you could probably drag two trailers of it with only a marginal decrease in fuel efficiency.

The reality is that most products are trucked much shorter distances from ports that use enormous container ships where the fuel cost per dollar shipped is vanishingly small.
The article discusses a safeguard that would only allow a set number of replications, so the lifespan of the intervention would be limited. (Assuming it works as expected, of course.)
That does not have comparable security.
Even without anything plugged in, or any other displays downstream of the host thunderbolt port, XDR will preferentially negotiate one HBR2+DSC stream if the host supports it. (17.28gbps)

Which yes, means that a hypothetical 6k120 could be done at the same compression level as current 6k60 by using both HBR2 streams that a Thunderbolt 4 host port is required to support.

This! I too am having to come to terms with being a fellow libertarian cosplayer. It sucks. But at this point I am willing to give up dogma to try and make this country better because whatever is going on now is not working, and is not making things any more small L liberal, from either side of the isle.
The whole point of this sub-thread is that for the past two years, there has been no end of wishful-thinking arguments that tried their best to downplay and ignore the risks.

But your raise an excellent point - if only there were solutions that allowed you to live life to the fullest with negligible risks...

>so let's say that you target people who can only afford $30 computers

I cannot name a single person who has bought a RPi that isn't either a generously-compensated STEM worker or a member of their immediate family.

I also cannot name a single person who has bought an RPi that doesn't already own a mid-to-high-end desktop or laptop.

Poor people buy used smartphones or refurbed ex-office PCs.

EDIT: This probably explains why there's a strong scalper's market for this, thinking about it. Raspberry Pi's typical customers are wealthy enough to not care about paying an extra few bucks.
Just because a source looks biased doesnt mean its not factual. Saying "republicans are saying awful things to/about XYZ person", if they were doing it, wouldnt be biased, it would be the truth.

And I wouldnt consider them "far left" anyway, just left of some other mainstream news sources.
If you define anything other than "simply more speech" as censorship, as many seem to nowadays, then a solution either cannot exist or must involve censorship.
Yes! I think this is a really under-reported issue. It's basically caused by kubernetes doing things without confirming everyone responded to prior status updates. It affects every ingress controller, and it also affects services of type "Load Balancer" and there isn't a real fix. Even if you add a timeout in the pre stop hook, that still might not handle it 100% of the time. IMO it is a design flaw in Kubernetes.
Ahhh you reckon they are being sneaky with language? So something like:

- unsuccessful login occurs

- successful login + screenshot + various nefarious actions

- (some time later)

- attacker's access locked down

Implying that they detected an unsuccessful login, but doesn't mean that they didn't prevent unauthorized access, which would make what they said technically correct but kinda useless for us users. That is something I did not originally consider, but wow ... maybe. I hope not. I mainly want answers about what is affected, and whether Auth0 was compromised.

Note: I have a recovery phone number set on the account. A code is being sent to my phone, after I enter the code, that's when I'm being asked to verify the code from the same email.

I most vividly recall unit testing, storage emulator, auth. For example:

https://github.com/firebase/firebase-js-sdk/issues/5086

> Steps to reproduce:

> Step 1: Read the documentation for setting up cloud storage unit tests at: https://firebase.google.com/docs/rules/unit-tests#storage

> Step 2: Attempt to write unit tests following the examples in the documentation

The reporter describes five problems which will thwart you when you try to write code according to the official documentation.

How did these docs ship? Did nobody ever try the sample code and verify that the features worked as advertised? Did nobody write any tests to validate that the features actually worked? Are there no policies in place (e.g. "new features require tests" or perhaps code review) to prevent such mishaps?
It sounds like your real issue is a money problem, rather than an email problem. That is, Google owes you money, and you can't access it. You should probably chat with a lawyer about the legal side of things.
