the 'beautiful' thing about this, is that it's then impossible to convince product people and "stake holders" to authorize enough time and resources to improve the solution afterwards.

In my experience they'd only relucantly agree if and only if it's "do this or die". Which then happens under time-pressure or under stress factors of other kinds.

The author appears to have bought a monitor that's advertised as requiring a Thunderbolt 3 connection, and being compatible with a limited number of Apple products, and is complaining that it doesn't integrate nicely with his gaming PC (which has neither Thunderbolt 3 graphics connectivity nor appears on the compatibility list).

I don't want to be the Apple apologist here, but ... really?
Because they still do business in Russia.
I think that's what they're saying, that containers are orthogonal to reproducible builds.
I just tried to put my phone number through it and it gave no indication of success or failure. Pulled up the debugger and see that it gives a 400 exception of "ProfileNotDeactivated" when I submit my number.

Seems seriously shady.
Switzerland does something similar with what is left after trash has been burned. It is against the law for the left over ash (schlake) to contain more than 1% of metal.

Therefore they extract it and sell it making a profit.

I see the French Silk assembler made the list. I saw the ad for this thing in the back of The Transactor, I believe, and basically begged my parents to buy it for me. I was around eleven or twelve years old. I taught myself 6502 assembly, sort of (there was a lot of stuff I didn’t get). I made a simple drawing program, among other things. It was mind-expanding stuff, some of the happiest memories of my childhood.
To be fair, it's a 60hz refresh rate monitor, which would be considered pretty meh for any modern gaming pc, especially when you look at the price tag. It would be pretty insane to buy this monitor for specifically gaming. Hundreds of far better options for significantly cheaper...

None the less, it's Apple. None of this sounds surprising, sadly.

In Apple's defense, the specs are pretty clearly laid out with the ports: https://www.apple.com/studio-display/specs/
We use ansible on bare metal (no VM) to manage about 200 servers in our basement. We use PXE booting to manage the images. We use a customized arch linux image and we have a few scripts to select what feature we'd like. It's "old school" but it's been working fine for nearly 20 years (we used plain scripts before ansible, so we always used the "agentless" approach). Our networking stack uses OpenBSD.
I think this was changed a bit since moving to dot net core ( not sure).
That's a very cool deployment method to just use rsync like that! Simple and very composable.

And now I feel self-conscious about my pile of AWS and Docker!

For what it's worth, there are tons of generic APAP devices available on your usual 'big' online market places being sold under labels like 'resoiration device' or 'sleep aid'. Don't know if they're actually trustworthy, but they're out there. There is also a small but thriving secondary market for devices in online web forums (though for sanitation reasons, this seems like a very suboptimal workaround).
Is your question "How do I write software without tons of dependencies?" or "How do I ship software that has tons of dependencies but without shipping the dependencies with them?" or "How do I ship software with tons of dependencies without using containers or VMs?"

It's accurate. The Studio Display connects the same way as the Apple XDR Display and the newer revisions of the LG 5k Ultrafine, and you can read dozens of pages of people trying different ways to get things working.

The problems are…

- Very, very few Nvidia or ATI cards have USB-C video out. They seemed to stop caring when VR failed to take off a couple years ago.

- So you're left using DisplayPort-to-USBC — but have to find a high-bandwidth DP 1.4 cable. Many of these are incorrectly marked or advertised.

- HDMI to DisplayPort/USB-C is a whole other game I won't cover here.

- even with the DisplayPort working, you cannot control screen brightness or get audio without a USB signal

- which can be solved with some very esoteric Wacom and Belkin VR devices

- but which appear to not run a fast enough USB spec to be useful with the new Studio Display due to all its A13-driven weirdness

- also some setups may require a USB signal to even turn on? I'm a little unclear on this mark.

I've been through several of these hoops trying to get the earlier, TB-only LG 5k working with anything beyond a MacBook, so I've been watching these discussions with interest.

On the other hand, I'm curious what you've found to be lacking about the standard library documentation. I've found it to be generally very thorough, in some cases fantastic, though there's an occasional weak point.

Effective Java [0] is the Java book. It covers up to Java 9, and I expect the author will release another edition for Java 17 at some point.

Java 9-17 adds some major language features, but they're not so major that you'd really need a whole book. You could look up the individual JDK release notes and see what each release changed.

I'm a little confused about this title: the circuit _is_ the computer. It gets help from literally being the computer necessary to update itself.
This is just a general problem: The term "USB C" doesn't mean anything other than the shape of the cable. There are various ways to transport video and/or audio over that connect and a given port on your PC may support a subset of them or none. Some thunderbolt ports can be used to connect an external GPU, for example, but even if it's connected your motherboard or bios might not support actually talking to that external GPU. On windows there is often a thunderbolt app on the system that you can open to see which TB features your built-in ports support... but if you're trying to plug into your GPU's USB-C port, now it's up to that specific hardware revision and your drivers to control what can happen there in cooperation with your PC and maybe your bios.
Most people do it to get a discount, or convenience of some sort such as a text when your food order is ready for pickup.
Personally I wouldn't use a low refresh rate monitor for gaming, 60Hz looks way too blurry once you get used to higher ones.
> There are 7,100 official languages on planet earth

There are roughly that many languages known to science, according to Ethnologue.

Does anyone happen to know if the advertiser has to tell Meta what languages are used in an advertisement?
No, but I think it's a big contributor to the network effect advantage Java has.

I'm not bashing the language - it certainly has its defenders. Some people regard simplicity as a virtue (although I'd question how simple Java is nowadays). But I think even ardent Java fans will concede, Java has some deficiencies as a language. The main reason people use Java, is that people know Java. And the main reason they know Java, is because it is used.

It takes a long time to kill a network effect.
Thank you for the kind words!

I think it depends. When I was a hiring manager I offered candidates the choice between takehomes and a regular interview and about 50% took the takehome.

The key to a good takehome was to not be too long and respect the candidates' time – just as it'd be for an in-person interview. I'm not too worried about people cheating, usually they get caught later in the process (e.g during the design interview).
when I was at Jackbox we ran the multiplayer servers without containers and handled hundreds of thousands of simultaneous websocket connections (a few thousand per node). The servers were statically compiled Go binaries that took care of their own isolation at the process level and didn't write to disk, they were just running as systemd services. Game servers are inherently stateful, they're more like databases than web application layer servers. For large audience games I wrote a peering protocol and implemented a handful of CRDT types to replicate the state, so it was a hand-rolled distributed system. Most things were handled with chef, systemd, terraform, and aws autoscaling groups.
Depends on the business. In electronic design automation it's common, because it's a small world, only three major companies, sometimes people go off and do a startup and it's bought up by one of the big three.
Yes, The Russians might be forced to stop because the word of the truth is getting out bit by bit. Gradually he may be forced to back because his control is far from perfect and the losses are becoming known. Byelorussia is simmering, and there may be a revolution there?.
I had the idea to print "Green cards" with dual Russian/English to circulate among the Russian soldiers. It would grant the holder to apply to be a US/European immigrant. Such is the magic appeal of the US green card that it might encourage defections? Of course, I can not grant these personally, but there has been such a strong positive response to people escaping Ukraine globally, that the USA may well step up and accept migrants. Just an idea, but properly promoted it might have legs.

> Race and ethnicity are risk markers for other underlying conditions that affect health, including socioeconomic status, access to health care, and exposure to the virus related to occupation, e.g., frontline, essential, and critical infrastructure workers.

So the white people who have poor socioeconomic status, access to health care or are exposed as front-line workers are just out of luck, eh?

It's a racist policy prima facia.
Note the OP said the inspectors were privatized, not the actual building codes. The only difference is the private inspectors sound like they'll let you skate by on some stuff.

You find the same dynamic in states with private emissions inspections. Spend any time on a car enthusiast website and everyone knows "the guy" to go to that'll pass your obviously illegal emissions equipment bypass...
My guess is they got it for other purposes and they just want to be able to play games on that big monitor that's sitting on their desk when they're not using it for work.

> However, with self-driving vehicles, the driver is the manufacturer, full stop.

I don't think this argument has unanimous agreement.

If we force manufactures to be responsible, then they are going to find a way to reduce payouts. No country is going to destroy their automotive industry because of self-driving cars. And Too Big To Fail companies are never held responsible for their actions.

I'm in the camp of owner-responsibility. Insurance rates for self-driving cars will set a price for the safety of the system. It will happen rather quickly and will be largely accurate. Are you going to even use a self-driving system if it elevates your insurance premiums to $10k a month? Even a person who prefers convenience over personal safety is going to think twice about paying all that money to insure themselves.
Pretty sure. The problem is, that neutrinos are too light, and when they are produced in the early universe they are too fast. That means galaxies do not form like we observe them. Basically, neutrino dark matter would "orbit the outskirts" of the galaxy instead of building a defined center.
My last gig was about two years at a $1bn / 400 employee SaaS company. In my tenure, multiple people re-joined after leaving, and several people who left while I was there have since returned after I left. When I stepped down, I was basically given a standing offer to return whenever I'd like.

In my gig before that, at a blue chip tech company, in 7 years I never saw anyone return, but most of the departures were due to layoff/RIF so that somewhat makes sense.
It's a weird one. 60hz is pretty low refresh rate. Definitely not a gaming monitor.

But it's resolution is quite high. At this resolution, I think there's only one other monitor, the LG Ultra Fine 5k is which is like only $200 cheaper.

I think for people that care about resolution/pixel density, this monitor has basically zero competition? There's plenty of lower resolution monitors with higher refresh rates.

That's pretty bad. Luckily not on windows.
Even if you argue that the initial copy of the work in RAM in your network stack was created by the server operator, you're likely to make copies from there: copies in RAM if your network stack is not zero copy; copies to disk if these pages swap; and copies to disk if you save the files.

There are some clinics where sleep problems are treated and where you can go to sleep while being monitored by various medical devices. If there are any sleep problems, they should be identified in this way.

Sleep apnea is a serious condition. I believe that if you would have it you would wake up suffocating, unless you would die in your sleep.

My mother had sleep apnea as a consequence of severe surgery followed by a few weeks in intensive care.

Fortunately, in her case that was a temporary condition. After a few terrible weeks during which I was almost unable to sleep because I feared that I will not wake up in time during her next apnea crisis to help her, the apnea crises disappeared suddenly, from one night to the other, exactly when I was about to buy a CPAP apparatus.
Plugging a Macbook into a normal high-end monitor requires a USB-C to DisplayPort cable. Doing the opposite requires...the exact same type of cable. The only weird part here is that it's 5K.

You should be able to send audio over DisplayPort too, but I wouldn't be surprised if Apple doesn't support that.

Thank you! To answer your question about building support for later stages – possibly? I chose to focus on what brought me the most value, screening candidates early in the process.

> I dont think that is true, and in reality hitching our (the US) future to the EU's idiosyncrasies will likely lead to the US losing power not keeping it

Hard disagreement. The US is becoming less and less economically relevant, with the rise of the developing world. It used to be nearly half of the world's GDP - over two thirds, when combined with Western Europe. It's now at under a quarter (much lower when adjusted for PPP), and is utterly reliant on developing world supply chains for its most basic products - and its not doing so under the kind of gunpoint trade terms that the colonial empires of the 19th and 20th centuries could impose on their subjects.

If Europe's status drops to being an ally of convenience, I expect the sun to set on the American empire in about two decades.

Motorcycles can tow trailers. Sidecars are also a thing. In the 1950s there was a motorcycle dealership in Portland that had a motorcycle carrier sidecar.

In decades I have not encountered any development environment where the obscurity of error message presentation can touch R. If one uses other languages or build environments the error messages can frequently be used to diagnose the issue.

In R they default to just vomiting some internal exception often with no context, and I can count the times I have encountered helpful or even seemingly deliberately constructed error messaging in single-place base five. Even kernel development is in some sense better because at least there you are in context and the layers are traversable.

Seemingly one of the primary skills of an R programmer is serving as an informal database of “what the fuck does this mean?” when the issue is something trivially detectable like passing a list vs a vector.

Is using CUDA inside a container still a massive PITA?
I asked the question without context because I didn't want to fire the thread off in the wrong direction but I suppose in a comment chain it's fine. For what it's worth we do use containers and K8s heavily at my current job.

I know that there are quite a few people opposed to the state of containers and the technologies revolving around them. I don't think the arguments they present are bad. [Attacking the premise](https://drewdevault.com/2017/09/08/Complicated.html) isn't particularly hard. What I don't see a lot of, however, is alternatives. "Learn how to do ops" is not exactly pertinent when most documentation on the subject will point you towards containers.

In addition the whole principle, while clearly proven, does strike me as a patch on existing platforms and executable formats that weren't designed to solve the sorts of problems that we have today. While efforts could have been made to make software universally more portable it seems we opted for finding the smallest feasible packaging method with already existing technology and have been rolling with it for a decade.

So essentially I'm interesting in knowing how people find ways to reproduce the value these technologies offer, what they instead rely on, which things they leave on the table (eg "we work with petabytes of data just fine but deploying updates is a nightmare"), how much manual effort they put into it, etc. New greenfield projects attempting to replace the fundamentals rather than re-orchestrate them are also very pertinent here.
Depends on your health insurance plan. Many plans fund a health savings account that allows you to spend your money on any qualifying medical purchase, whether its OTC meds, medical devices, or heck even my yearly supply of band-aids and ibuprofen.

If something requires a prescription, it's usually because the company wants a liability chain to go through a doctor and their malpractice insurance, rather than bankrupt the company.
Yes, but you don't need TB 3 on your PC. It's at least doable with some AMD cards as evidenced by the Ars review. Clearly something is up with how the USB C port on the 3090 interacts with the monitor. Whether that's on Apple's side or Nvidia's.
The topic of moderating a general-purpose is no doubt difficult and an interesting problem to solve at scale (if it is indeed possible to solve), but it is not the topic at hand.

> Yes, dark matter is the best way we currently have for fitting the data

This is the key problem. Since there is no theory of what dark matter is made of or how it is created and destroyed, you can always have as much or as little of it as you need to fit the data.

As for gravity, we don't have anything close to a working theory of quantum gravity. We can't even measure the classical gravitational constant to more than about 4 digits. The reproducibility by different experiments has not demonstrably improved since the 1940's! Clearly there is a lot more we have to learn about gravity.
