If they include a USB A port then it forces users who have USB C cables to purchase adapters and results in more e-waste.

Is there loads of space in the display? Looks like apple is packing quite a bit into a slim display profile. Not to mention, ports with different dimensions/heights require additional fixturing and likely additional PCBs or connectors to work. It’s not as easy as slapping a few more ports in the display. Sure a company the size of apple can add more ports. But it’s far easier to line up 4x usb C connectors. And likely makes for less ewaste.

Personally I’d rather have an RJ45/Ethernet port built in over USB A ports. The monitor is going to sit on a desk it might as well be hardwired to the local network.

The HN discussion on that is more enlightening than the actual item.
At the molecular level, basically all photon modes associated with the thermal energy (or lower) will be already thermally occupied. E = hf = k_bT/2. This frequency at room temperature is about 30THz. So on the microscopic level, any frequencies under 30THz are constantly irradiated by thermal fields anyway.

Edit: Furthermore, the Gibb's free energy of any molecular process determines the reversibility of the process at a given temperature. Any molecular process with Gibb's free energy that is lower than the thermal mean energy is going to be essentially a reversible equilibrium process, and stimulating it with radiation will only shift the equilibrium very slightly I believe. I think it's for this reason that we don't see radio catalysed reactions in chemistry, unlike photocatalysed reactions.
>which is insecure

Splitting IOMMU groups is not inherently insecure; doing so without ACS is insecure. It is true that's not the motherboard vendors fault - it is because Intel designed it that way. ACS (the part of PCIe which makes sane IOMMU group splitting possible) works great on my Zen products (Ryzen, Threadripper, EPYC, etc.) It also works fine on my Intel Xeon products. Intel client silicon is the odd man out here, and if you ask me that's hardly an accident. It falls neatly in line w/ their other artificial market segmentation. (They do the exact same thing w/ ECC RAM.)

I'm mostly just jaded because my use-case (PCIe passthrough for a 'gaming VM') is hardly conducive to enterprise grade hardware (Xeon SKUs w/ low base clocks, headless GPUs designed for compute, etc.) yet vendors like NVidia and Intel choose to make this use-case difficult/impossible to implement on their consumer grade offerings. It gets old after a while. I, for one, am really glad AMD shook things up in this regard in the CPU space.
> ...Boeing workers in South Carolina. The SC workers voted in 3 different elections to reject the union.

South Carolina has the lowest unionization rate in the US, a country that itself has a 6.1% private unionization rate. A Boeing executive said to the Seattle Times Boeing was opening a production line in South Carolina to avoid unionization and strikes. South Carolina has anti-union laws that Washington does not.

Boeing purposefully moves to the least unionized state, works to prevent workers from organizing there, but in your calculus "The strong union at the Boeing factory in Seattle WA negatively influenced the Boeing workers in South Carolina".
> the services you mention require datencenters, heavy stacks and lots of smallprint in the T&Cs

You're talking nonsense. I mentioned static sites.

It is not _more_ difficult or expensive to serve a static site with a Raspberry Pi than it is to get it to host a PHP application.

The project you linked to does not resemble in any way the thing that I described. It is worse than irrelevant. What sucks, though, is that it took three comments before you even partially acknowledged that you're talking about something completely different, despite what your original response to me indicates.

This has been a monumental waste of time.
It looks like it was used for tests. I don't know how it would escalate to use on a production system, but the commit for the fix is here:

No, a NaN not being equal to itself is the correct behavior for an order relation that is a partial order, not a total order.

The bug is neither in the FP standard nor in the implementations.

The bug is in almost all programming languages, which annoyingly provide only the 6 relational operators needed for total order relations.

To deal with partial order relations, which appear not only in operations with floating-point numbers, but also in many other applications, you need 14 relational operators.

Only when they are provided by the programming language you no longer need to test whether a number is a NaN, because you can always use the appropriate relational operator, depending on what the test must really do.

The 2 relational operators "is equal to" and "is either equal to or unordered", are distinct operators, exactly like "is equal to" and "is equal to or greater" are distinct.

If you do not have distinct symbols for"is equal to" and "is either equal to or unordered", the compiler cannot know whether the test must be true or false when a NaN operand is encountered. If you do not know which of the 2 operators must be used, you must think more about it, because your program will be wrong in exceptional cases.

Specifying a stupid rule like a NaN being equal to itself and claiming that the correct behavior is a bug shows a dangerous lack of understanding of mathematics, which is not acceptable for someone designing a new number representation method (even if a single NaN value is used, it can be generated as a result of different, completely unrelated computations, and there is no meaningful way in which those results can be considered equal).

In general almost all programming languages are designed by people without experience in numerical computation, who completely neglect to include in the language the features required for the operations with floating-point numbers, resulting in an usually dreadful support for the IEEE floating-point arithmetic standard, even after almost 40 years since it became widespread.

It is not the standard which must be corrected, but the programming languages, which do not provide good access to what the hardware can do.

Also the education of the programmers is lacking because most of them are familiar only with the 6 relational operators for total orders, instead of being equally familiar with the 14 operators for partial orders.

Partial orders are encountered extremely frequently. If only the 6 relational operators are available in such cases, then they must always be preceded by a test for unordered operands. Forgetting the additional test guarantees errors. To avoid the double tests that are needed in most programming languages, it may be possible to define macros corresponding to all the 14 relational operators, but they cannot be as convenient as proper support in the language.
My direct experience is the more tenured teachers not showing up at all. Spent a significant amount of my high school roaming the halls because some of the teachers didn’t show up. This was opposed to the younger teachers who cared and put the work in, but also had second jobs, etc.

Cool color scheme. The purple text gets a little weird but I don't know how you'd change it without disturbing the cool color scheme.
I am from such a "different culture", and I hate criminalization of speech. Unfortunately, it is a minor topic in our politics and thus the status quo is likely to stay that way, not to mention that the EU where we are members wouldn't probably let us decriminalize hate speech; the winds in Brussels blow in the other direction.

The USA is protected by its Supreme Court and the fact that the Constitution is impossible to amend at this point, but if the younger cohort could vote for criminalization of unpopular speech, I suspect the proposition would actually win. Definitely so on many university campuses.

I've had several upgrade issues. Once several configuration settings were deprecated then removed... Silently. It was difficult to discover why it would no longer start. Another time a bunch of repositories only partially migrated, and appeared empty on clone.

Mostly it's the frequency of updates that's a pain, there are enough critical vulnerabilities that you have to stay on top of it.

I am the dog lying on a nail and occasionally whimpering at the moment though.

Beyond that, the gratification from accomplishing something is short-lived. If your last book sold a million copies and your new book only sells 500k, you may feel like a failure even though 500k is a lot of books. In some ways, success only adds to the pressure to keep succeeding. This isn't to say you shouldn't try to succeed, but it certainly explains why so many famous or successful people deal with problems like depression and drug addiction.

It's not just possible; I don't see any alternatives gaining traction anytime soon.
Current CRDTs are not a magical solution to collaborative software. They have their own “way” of handling merge conflicts. For example it may merge English words in non sensical ways. Without review, there is no way to safely have automatic collaborative editing without side effects.

If you extend the protocol to support SD-cards instead of rolls of paper as the data medium, and appropriate frame and packet sizes, you can get phenomenal bandwidth even if latency and packet drop are still not great.

Well, unless with dualism you just mean that there are two, you are simply mistaken. Just because my car has an inside and an outside, and I cannot determine the state of its gearbox from the outside w/o the car telling me, does not mean that this implies a ghost in the machine. Far from it.

Light is further up the energy-line of electromagnetic radiation.

All light-bulbs, screens, LEDs (etc. etc.) emit visible light. There's a couple of bands in there that might be more dangerous than others (ex: Microwaves specifically resonate with water), but for the most part, Gamma Rays are the most dangerous, and Radiowaves have the least effect on our body.

This way an early part of the conspiracy theories, but it was subsequently debunked.

This was a private database, not meant for the public, but rather for sharing data with colleagues off-site. It actually remained online until early 2020, when the WIV says it came under sustained attack and was taken offline. It should also be noted that this private database was only in existence for a short time period in the first place - less than a year, I believe.

I should warn everyone that this is far from the only error in this article. The lab leak theory has become ever more heavily rejected in the scientific community, as more evidence has piled up on various fronts (the early outbreak clustered around the market; two different viral lineages were discovered at the market, including on stalls where wild animals were sold, suggesting that there were multiple spillovers at the market; new viruses have been found in Laos that are closer to SARS-CoV-2 than anything previously discovered).

It seems, however, that the lab leakers are making another effort to push their case in the press, for a popular audience that doesn't know better.

Orchest | Front-end Engineer, Python/k8s Engineer | The Netherlands | Full-Time | Fully remote (UTC +-3)

Orchest lets data scientists focus on what matters. It’s our mission to free data science teams from infrastructure tasks and complexity. We make the data platform team obsolete by automating the plumbing and making it easy to work in a cloud native way as a data scientist.

Today, we’re focused on drastically simplifying how batch data science pipelines are built by focusing on intuitive abstractions, seamless integration of the canonical open source data science stack (e.g. Jupyter notebook support), and single-click productionization.

To that end we’re looking for a Frontend/TypeScript Engineer that will help us develop the user facing parts. Are you someone that gets excited thinking about combining a clean React based component hierarchy, TypeScript, Web Workers, and CRDT sync to create a perfect user experience?

We raised ($4M+) from top investors like Gradient Ventures (Google) and Basis Set Ventures (SF-based AI & ML fund). In addition, we're a fully remote company (team of 8, ex-NUMFocus, ex-GitLab) with async communication to allow everyone to get into flow state and do their best work.

More details about our open source project can be found here: https://github.com/orchest/orchest or check out our AngelList listing https://angel.co/company/orchest/jobs

Interested? Reach out to me at rick@orchest.io.
If there are severe issues, of course. If someone wrote a loop in a strange way and it was an honest mistake, it's pretty silly to fire them without communicating with them first... and then firing them if they aren't able to turn it around.
this is me being cheeky, but how do you know that the real world is mutable?

if you believe in super-determinism and that everything progresses based on predetermined laws you can take the view that space+time already exists in all its past and future and that nothing happens.

or, quantum mechanics in the multiple world interpretations. you can say that the state of the world literally splits whenever there is an event.

i guess the metapoint here is that just because something seems mutable does not mean it’s really mutable and that mutable and immutable only make sense at certain levels of matter organization (are atoms mutable? what about photons? what about quarks?)
Finally, I've known about this for years.
This rings true to me. The smartest person sporadically makes important contributions, but the most energetic person pushes things forward every single day.

The most successful person I know has boundless energy at work, and is often used as a resource for many other people, helping them get their work done. She's on the national board of the professional association that oversees her field. She takes exceptional care of her extended family, and somehow manages to squeeze in vacations, nights out dancing, and time with her friends watching football on the weekend. Furthermore, she volunteers for an organization that helps new immigrants feel welcome, get settled, and find employment. Also, she decided to teach at the local college two nights a week for the last few years and gets glowing reviews from her students.

Makes me tired just typing it all out.
You left out the vital third part of that, which is "not for you in your particular set of applicable privileges and life circumstances".
I wonder if the folks at Elementary targeted businesses with a "Elementary OS Professional" version. Is pretty hard to get regular people to pay for an operating system when they don't need to, either because the competition is fierce (Zorin, Ubuntu, Mint, Deepin, ...), or because they can choose to donate 0 dollars. I have never seen an app in their custom App Store that will attract me enough to pay for it. The OS itself is pretty neat. I think they should have tried to get government entities, schools, or hospitals to use their OS, so they can have a decent income stream.
Same here, after I've seen my first Retina screen I can't go back to less than 2x scaling. Coding at 1080p is such a poor experience, my desktop is dual 4K 27 inch screens, and I'm on purpose avoiding high refresh rate screens until decent 4K 144Hz monitors exist and I can buy them.

There's some out right now but they're either crappy gamer panels, very large and low density, or extremely expensive.

> the idea that lack of discrimination should be called a "privledge" rather than a "norm".

But the lack of discrimination isn't the norm. It would definitely be nice if it was, but that's not the case. White people experiencing better general overall treatment by society compared to those in the same situation who are black is just a fact. Complaining that it causes reverse discrimination doesn't make that untrue.
