> Or they can collude with other employers to lower wages (or indirectly, like no-poaching policy, or do what google+apple did with their wage collusion).

You already provided a real world example of them doing it. So it does happen.

And most big companies are now in a phase of buying up disruptive tech companies and extinguishing any competition. That's only going to expand going further. The automotive industry in the US killed public transport to secure their market, they shipped their factories off to other countries, and they still steal subsidies from tax payers.

Tech companies are going to happily follow that path.
Like the sibling comments have indicated, many apparently sequential computations are actually parallelizable. I'll just add finite automata as another example in this category. On the surface it looks quite sequential (process one input at a time), but there are nice parallel algorithms that you can even implement on a GPU!

So yeah, there's a lot of nonobvious parallelism in the world. Just because something seems sequential doesn't mean it is.

I think the real reason why a lot of software is sequential/inefficient in practice is because we're just not smart enough to figure out how to optimize it (or don't have the proper incentives/it's not a priority). But that's something that's conceivably solvable; it's not limited by laws of physics the way hardware is.

Damn, those examples are insanely good.
RV Parks have very specific requirements which usually disqualify Vans. Also, RV parks aren't usually a community of youngish professionals I was looking for. I think they tilt towards retirees and/or groups not in the professions.
I agree. Those two works are an interesting takes on Victorian life from two different eras and world views. Thomas Hughes's contemporary novel was hugely popular, even until the mid to late 20th Century, as an ideal for the moral development of boys. The Flashman Papers is a satire from the late 1960s onwards that uses Tom Brown's bully, Flashman, as a device to lampoon the British Empire. Personally, I find Fraser's Flashman brilliant, an antithetical depiction of the Victorian age that was traditionally populated with military heroes and intrepid explorers that were likely to be anything but moral.
I'd recommend an STM32 for now as well, it was quite easy to get a project going in Rust on those chips.

Re unexpected AWS costs: This happened to me too. I hate AWS for it. The best solution I've found is to set up a "Budget" in the AWS console that alerts me by email when my account spends more than I expect. Just last week this caught a case early that would have likely resulted in an unnecessary 4-figure bill.
I administered Microsoft Exchange for "Evil Corp" back in the 90s. I was asked to install a filtering package that monitored emails for keywords (curse words).

Not the parent commenter, but its pretty weird / creepy that you spent the time to go through 2 years of their posts to find that rather innocuous comment.

I replied to somebody else farther down along the same lines, but I do think the question of what id -would- have made with modern tools at their disposal is really interesting. Because in a lot of ways, id’s story is partially one of quadrupling down on pushing the engine forward. With quake, they hit another local maximum where the look and feel of the game meshed really well with the new engine capabilities. But then after that, one could argue that they had a slow descent into games looking better but at the same time worse. I would almost go as far as to say that it was a good thing that they were limited as they were, because it pushed them into something that looked so, so cool.

If you think about it, there are many artistic media that are extremely limiting. I mean, consider literal paint! The way that we receive art is surprisingly dependent on that limitation. Once upon a time we were painting on cave walls with crappy dyes. The tools and the painters kept getting better and better, and by the 17th-19th century you have masters contributing some of the most important art of all time. And then, all of a sudden, when we arrive in the 20th century we get color photos, and photoshop, and it’s all somehow _too powerful_. The Mona Lisa done in PS just isn’t the same. And I think it’s more than nostalgia that makes me say that.

I can recall seeing a research poster for something to do with brightness fluctuations of red giants. Just as an aside was an image of a red giant absolutely dwarfing Earth's orbit several times over. As in, if it were in the center of our solar system, Earth would be inside the star.

Even crazier is that these stars aren't actually much heavier than the sun, they're just that much less dense.
For me, at least, I like to write my own engines to get the end-user experience I want. Every game engine comes with a million little decisions about how games should work by default, and writing my own engine lets me make those decisions for myself.

In the same way, every React app eventually starts to look and act like the Reddit redesign, but many web developers consider that more of a benefit than a drawback.
Agreed. I think one reason people want to live in these places because there's copious amounts of jobs available.
So my point stands…?
Because it's not USB it's Thunderbolt. Thunderbolt taps directly into the PCIe bus where USB doesn't. It only makes sense it is going to be much more than just a USB switch/hub. It's basically one of those PCIe expansion chasis that allowed extra expansion cards when your case only had 3 slots. Except, this is a nice neat little box on top of your desk.
What a bizarre straw man. People who denounce their employer publicly are not victims of cancel culture.

> The only way to fix it is to bring back the draft, in either full or some modified form.

One idea is a draft for the reserves, not for active duty. That gives us the benefits of an AVF - the professionalism, etc. - and also gives Americans 'skin in the game' when at war, when reserves are called up. It's hard to imagine Afghanistan dragging on for 20 years if, for the whole time, civilians were being sent there to drive trucks, make dinner, even do some skilled labor, etc. And it would solve the civilian-military divide.

But how much effectiveness would we lose with draftee reserves? I believe that volunteer professionals are far superior to draftees in active duty, but reserve jobs frequently seem different.

I kind of went to the same story just two devices shorter in 2017 when I switched from a 2014 MacBook Pro to the worst Mac I ever had. I also got me one of these USB-C dongle things. Display etc worked good (but was very picky about the display) but it created issues with Bluetooth and Wifi. I looked up other devices and saw that all of them looked pretty much the same just with a different name printed on them. There was and still is a huge gap between these not so cheap USB-C dongles and the better working Thunderbolt hubs. I also switched to one in the end. Not without it‘s own issues.

But this issue is we see not only with electronics. Amazon (here in germany) is flooded with cheap knockoff products. Everything under 100€ is mostly trash. It gets super annoying to find something for a reasonable price with a somewhat good quality.
How does pattern matching solve the same problem?
> While I probably agree, there is a lot more room up there than down here!

Even I can pick up the joking intent here, but just for others reading, the issue with stuff in space isn't physical volume. The problem is intersecting orbits. Even if we had the lift capacity for it, there aren't enough orbits to put all our garbage in without causing collisions and probably Kessler Syndrome. There's orders of magnitude more garbage than satellites we could ever want.

Once the battery and car is up to temp the range loss isn't very bad. I had the opportunity to spend a few weeks driving EVs in western Canada over the past winter, and even a crummy Fiat still has about 100km range when its -11c (aka -12f) out despite its nearly decade old battery with 120,000km (75,000 miles) on the odometer.

FWIW I compared CE-Link and Anker's websites and at least the power bank and charging block sections didn't seem to be rebranded. Yes, they sell the same type of products, but the design (location of buttons, ports, etc) seems be different. I only took a quick look though so I could have missed more.

They have been using "Apple" style packaging (nice "unboxing experience" kind of boxes) and include slogans like "americas favorite charging brand" (the broken english on their website doesn't reassure me) on recent products I've bought from them, so they are certainly trying to make a brand for themselves as being above the standard junk you can find on Amazon, but I wouldn't be surprised if it was rebranded.
So the issue is that an object would have to be slowed considerably (relative to the Sun) in order to hit it?

Your exit interview almost never affects any change. But, sometimes, the powers that be already wanted to do some change, like firing your incompetent boss, and your exit interview provides a nice piece of documentation for the pile in their PIP (pre-firing incredibly-useless process) of said manager and his/her eventual firing.
The other comment goes into much cooler detail, but if it isn't clear, the reason they needed telescopes in space is because the UV they were detecting can't penetrate the atmosphere. At 17nm you're well into the "vacuum frequencies", just a little away from proper ionizing radiation.
Interesting stuff!

Reminds me of the process of designing scientific experiments. State exactly what you care about and measure it directly (not the proxies). Define the metrics before conducting the experiment and a way to aggregate these metrics. Pitch different approaches against each other by evaluating them on these metrics and choose the best one in a fair manner by detaching yourself from any approach.

The blog puts forth a nice framework that one can actually remember to apply in real life. I often unintentionally treat scientific decisions differently than real life decisions (not as quantitatively). So this is a nice way to force you to define your preferences to the best extent that you can. I also like the aspect of having this framework in a team and understanding everyone's POVs, allowing for more transparency. Often in larger groups, discussions tend to meander with viewpoints all over the place. This should also force people to start with and end with 1 objective metric at a time. I bet this exercise is quite fun when done with a team.

I used to have access to a separate fibre network (not NBN, was FTTB with VDSL through the building) because I lived in Fortitude Valley in Brisbane -- not only was it cheaper, it was properly fast and had near symmetrical upload, not quite, but not 5% of the download.

Now I'm stuck on NBN HFC. I get random 15 second dropouts, constant packet loss (but only incoming, not outgoing) when playing online shooters, its just crap all around. And the support for it hasn't helped. Sigh our internet is a mess. And its entirely down to the LNP as to why.

> Why would it be pointless to reason out if free will exists?

because everything is pointless then - it's already happened, it's known. done. You are a puppet on a string and have no free-will.

As I said, to argue that free will does not exist is a pointless waste of time. Disingenuous. If you are right, then it's obviously true - but why argue because you know that you'll change nothing. The truth is the same a million years ago and a million years hence. So to argue the point implies you are just not honestly debating and not considering the merits and arguments or trying to convince. You must acede that you are not in a fair debate.

If you are wrong, well, then I can accept that. You may be wrong and there could be change!

To argue, even reason, is either (free-will) to effect change, or (no-free-will) a waste of time. The later of which is illogical and irrational - simply a belief and an action with nothing more.

It's a tautological falsehood to debate or question free will. The mere action of debate and reason implies will.

Again, this doesn't prove that free-will exists, but to me it proves illogical to argue against it.

GarageBand. I was a kid in the early 2000s and my dad's friends gave me a tutorial on GarageBand. My experience with computers up to that point was Windows, but from then on I was hooked. I've since learned Logic Pro and am using that, but messing with Apple Loops on GarageBand was a great starting point.

It's a fun hobby. I have a degree in music performance and could write a novel on why I don't do music professionally. I like having the financial stability that comes with having a job, and creating music is something I do to feed my soul. Doesn't need to be anything more than that for me.

You are quiting because mentorship isn't available? Some hr managers would understand that reasoning. They also would understand the long term project desire.

The first two roles seem long enough. The 5 month one is rough and following it with a 7 month one may get some ignores but the market is hot and if you can't land something you could wait until the summer when you have a year.

Aside from all of that, you are putting yourself in a pressure situation at your new role because if you don't like it leaving right away will be much harder. Stick it out a year.

You don't need a mentor with 2 years more experience. You need 2 more years. Give yourself time to fail and grow. That means sticking it out somewhere even if it sucks just to build that cred. If you want better work a startup might be better but if you want more mentorship a big company might be better. If you want neither a middle size company is the way to go.

I have bypassed many similar spywares in my youth, typically anticheats when I wanted to poke memory addresses with certain values. Have you tried rooting the chrome book?

You'll need some way to observe the network activity of the spyware agent, and then reverse engineer the agent to see how it phones home (probably valgrind or gdb will suffice, assuming they didnt pack the agent). From there you can either inject your custom code with LD_PRELOAD or write a simple shared library injector.
