Literally nobody on YouTube, certainly not Linus, has attempted to upgrade the storage modules with a supported configuration that the machine is shipped from the factory with.

There isn't a single other SSD controller on the market that knows how to work with arbitrary quantities of NAND flash chips because it's an unnecessary engineering challenge, I don't know why anybody thinks it's remotely reasonable to expect Apple's to be different.
Considering the context I'm amazed I didn't realize that was where I'd seen it.
This is an important issue. My own experience is limited to New York City, so I can only comment intelligently on what I've seen here. Over the last 18 months I spoke to 30 entrepreneurs about this issue, and I've tried to synthesize what I have learned. I've posted some of this information previously in various comments, in particular, that many entrepreneurs seem to put a value on vague and intangible (but apparently important) aspects of in-person work. Like I said in an earlier comment, I've had clients who offered mid level software engineers an extra $30k a year to come into the office. I've also summarized all of this in a blog post. For anyone interested, see "What work can be done from home? What work needs to be done at an office?"

Password managers vs. going passwordless? Which do you prefer and why?
The study linked discusses this posibility. They think their data does not support this hypothesis.

This is the relevant quote from the discussion section of the article: “ Perhaps the simplest explanation in the subfossil datasets is a taphonomic artifact, where male bones in sexually dimorphic species such as bison are larger or denser and more likely to be better preserved or identified as likely to contain DNA. If this was the case, male bias might be expected to correlate with factors associated with postmortem DNA preservation, such as sample age, average DNA fragment length, and cytosine deamination rate. Greater bone density might also be expected to inhibit microbial intrusion, and thus increase the proportion of endogenous DNA (host species vs. microbial DNA). However, no such trends were observed here (Table 2), and it is reasonable to conclude that DNA preservation is equal between the sexes.”

I'm 90% sure that all Sony TV's give you the option of a "Basic TV" when you go through the initial set up.

Edit: Yep. Any Google TV based television will do this.

What are PMs' arguments for the switch?
Our TV is basically just a movie machine in our case. We could watch movies on a laptop on the couch, but it's not as nice as having a TV. For what it's worth, our TV is actually a big old tube TV. We have a small collection of DVDs and VHS, and also a Raspberry Pi 3 which is very capable of playing movie files, and can even stream from Amazon in a pinch.
I’m actually kind of angered that I lost five minutes of my life to reading this ironically paper-thin construct.
That’s a fair take. I suppose it depends on what you prioritize. Even in this post it’s difficult to see the most latest comment unless you read and expand all of them.

After a few hundred I personally don’t bother. great example is the musk Twitter thread. Good luck finding the globally newest comment.

I don't even have central heating in my house (in Norway), it is almost never as warm as 20°C in the winter and I manage fine.
Dude, post this as its own submission.
There's not a 'baseload problem', there's a 'supply meeting demand problem'. And nuclear and renewables are not a good combination to solve that problem, because they don't complement each other at all: what both would need to efficiently supply the grid is either lots of storage or highly dispatchable cheap generation. The former is being developed and the latter exists but is still fossil fuels. The other option is massive overbuilding, which is far more doable with renewables because they're so cheap.
Good move. Don't get stagnant or else you never know, you might be on Elon's "I will buy you" list.

How come darknet markets work extremely well then?

How do you know they do --- have you done a survey?

Some people value steady profits much more than a one time scam.

Why do some people become criminals instead of getting a nice steady job? Maybe because it is more profitable and requires minimal effort. And lots of scams aren't "one time".
I'd really like to know where you think C++ dependencies and headers come from.

Succinct full text indexes can be substantially smaller than the source text. It depends on the zero order entropy of the text. If things are highly repetitive, a very small index might be feasible. Usually lookup times are linearly proportional to query size, with logarithmic factors in database size.
A "video-game company" doesn't necessarily have to be a game developer, and being a distributer is enough. Consider how "music company" aptly applies to Spotify.
It isn't much different to open YouTube, pick whatever's recommended, and just let autoplay pick the next video to play. You get better tailored content.
Could you maybe explain further?
I would love to help rebuild the community.
Maybe there is a balance?

We don't have to be 100% either.

We do need to build human trust and relationships, and you can't do that with remote easily. Also, communications are slower and full of paper cuts that will make any task requiring to gather a lot from different people harder with remote.

Those 2 things make onboarding much harder.

Young people are also the one that are paying the most cost from remote:

- they are the ones with the less autonomy, which makes remote either very unproductive or make the task super hard.

- they don't learn anything about politics, which remote hides from view, and maybe reduces a little, but doesn't remove.

- they are already deep in the culture distractions, which is incredibly tempting in remote.

How course, remote work has so many benefits it may very well offset all that. Time will tell I guess.

> Which is why Russia felt cheated for having an independent Ukraine that's not a Russian puppet state as it meant the loss of highly important defense supply chains.

It wasn't a loss until Russia occupied Crimea and the Donbas, before that there was extensive collaboration, even after the fall of Yanukovich. Instead of having the vital supply chains in a non-puppet but relatively friendly neighbor, they cut their own noses off to spite Ukraine and lost access to stuff like marine engines they simply can't replace.

I think the issue is more about the lack of true diversity. Look at music for example - to achieve global success, bands all over the world need to start using western rhytms and melodies, losing the very things that made them unique.

Not that there's no innovation in niches, but those never reach the highlight. A friend of mine is a musician, and was fairly popular in his circles, but has almost a decade ago renounced all pandering to the audience, started playing incredibly complex music, polyrhythms, fractal melodies, uniquely tuned instruments - and has since lost almost all of his audience and the income which came from music. But - and this is important - he's never been both happier and more virtuosic as a musician, it fulfills him like more popular music never did.

Unfortunately, he'll probably never be as appreciated as before and must have other sources of income.

Edit: this is him and a single, weirdly tuned guitar: https://nikopotocnjak.bandcamp.com/
I saw that there's a small update on the UI now because of Chat (former hangout, former...) but the point raised by OP is still true. If your signature includes pictures it counts as an attachment and the UI and everything still looks like 2004 when the beta started.

I'm not saying that should change everything ... but in 20 years the only thing different is now there's more integrations with other products but gmail is still the same.
Thank you for your response. Really appreciate it. :)
If you’re happy with a computer monitor as a tv good for you. I’m spoiled by super large screen 4K Qdot displays. If I really have to choose not to get a smart tv, the simple solution is actually to get a really good projector.
Please read again my comment. If tomorrow all the Linux C codebased switched to Rust I would have almost zero problems about it. My problem stems from having multiple toolchains to build the foundations of an operating system.
Can you explain, if Brahmins represent only 4% of the population (like a comment said), why in your example the landlord and the girls expected a Brahmins (and not just "any 'respectable' caste") ?

To me, it sounds very illogical : like only wanting to rent or marry millionaires...
It doesn't bypass the rocket equation.

Yeah me too. Apparently there were other laptops (dell? hp?) with trackpoints too, but not anymore.
Ah, I didn't see that you use mercurial instead of git when I made my last comment.

I'd love to be able to make red-line decisions like this regardless, no matter what. For example, I absolutely hate MacOS and would love to say "hard no" to any job offer if they insist that I use MacOS, regardless of job fit or TC. But ultimately, I back down once they show me the money, and find myself using it anyway.
Yes. At this point I will pay a potentially very large premium solely to give the proverbial middle finger to surveillance capitalism.
How do remote startups function? Back in my startup days, my cofounder & I lived in the same house when we were founding. We slept in the same room in order to synchronize sleep schedules as well. Bandwith was (as expected) super high. Immediate communication over issues while still allowing for uninterrupted work time. Being able to point at your screen and say "take a look" is super powerful.

It reminds me of ML where the bottleneck is often the bandwith between the GPUs.

And as expected working side by side / living in the same house dramatically increased productivity. I couldn't imagine a remote employee being as motivated.

TL;DR -- startups need a certain workaholic mentality / intensity. In-person work can provide this.

In defense of remote: We didn't have a commute, which saved us at least 1.5 hours a day.
The Evil Business of Nestlé
Indeed, which is why the Patriot air defence system the US has is a joke, and why some countries in NATO ( like Turkey) buy or keep the Russian equivalents (S-300/400).
I think the gist of the article is this:

Suppose you make 1000 people take a test. Suppose all 1000 of these people are utterly incapable of evaluating themselves, so they just estimate their grade as a uniform random variable between 0-100, with an average of 50.

You plot the grades of each of the 4 quartiles and it shows a linear increase as expected. Let's say the bottom quartile had an average of 20, and the top had 80. But the average of estimated grades for each quartile is 50. Therefore, people who didn't do well ended up overestimating their score, while people who did well underestimated it.

In reality, nobody had any clue how to estimate their own success. Yet we see the Dunning-Kruger effect in the plot.
A really big screen makes a huge difference. If you truly want to appreciate 4K content (be aware that most streaming 4K content is not good at all, surprisingly YouTube’s rentals have the best 4K fidelity of any streaming option I’ve seen) you need like a 70 inch screen at less than 10 feet away. I can assure you that with right content this can transport you into the movie in ways only a theater can match.

A great example I use is that in the Dark Knight, the thread the joker ties to the smoke grenade while getting into the school bus unwinds from his coat and is also purple. Like isn’t that insane to notice?

Yes, it's always read. If the file didn't require updating, a build with and without `--locked` will be identical. If it did require updating, `--locked` will make cargo exit with an error.

> I can grab the kernel sources from 1997 and build them today.

Can you? Do they still compiler with current compiler? You'll probably need to find a compiler of that time... And also all the interpreter for all the build scripts. Was that using bash or some old Perl? Maybe something more esoteric like m4 or tcl?

The point is that it always had many external dependencies to bootstrap. And adding one is not such a big deal, it just add another thing to archive among the many other things. The crates.io archive is probably not even that big.
Our apartment complex uses a gas micro power plant to produce electricity and uses the waste heat for heating/warm water. It’s a building of its own on a compound with 20 or so apartment buildings. Replacing that with a heat pump will require some very serious planning efforts - apart from the requirement that like 1000 individual parties in 20 home owner associations would approve the change. Not going to happen this year.
And when gaming latency is a big issue, so buffering a few frames to have margin for a complex one would be unacceptable.
For me, a TV is a large monitor that sits in the lounge that the family can watch a streamed movie or tv series on the couch. It’s not about broadcast/cable/satellite channels anymore, it’s about a nice medium to enjoy media on.

Hi team,

You got my star back. Good luck.
So why aren't companies constantly on ski trips?
I might be misreading this on an iphone screen but as i follow the logic here: https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/blob/a77ed9ba87bfeaf3c275...

A cargo build ends up there calling into the resolver’s resolve_ws_with_opts() which would refresh the lockfile.

Not resolve_with_previous() which would use the lock file as-is.

The only reason this sticks in my mind is i ran into an issue building bat after i made some changes, i obviously assumed it was my changes so went through the process of debugging and backing out my changes until finally i was back to a virgin branch and still failing - passing —frozen —locked fixed it.
You sent a guy a wire for a collectors item and he sends you a box of rocks?

I have bought and sold on Craigslist. This is not how it works --- unless you're stupid.

What's happening here is that you have a preconceived notion of "darknets markets bad"

Yes. People choose to operate on the darknet instead of craigslist for a reason --- usually because they are doing something illegal. And scamming people is one of these illegal things.
Sorry to say, but this article is crafted weakly and doesn't even deserve to be discussed this much.

It was written with a theory in mind ("Irrational German Angst of Nuclear") and only points out things in favor of this theory, sprinkled with some nice diagrams here and there and, to make it appear scientific, a list of footnotes and citations.
It's clearly missing out describing the components of the German Energiemix and the areas of usage for gas (i.e. NOT just for electrical power as nuclear is but VERY important as a commodity to the German chemical industry and for heating in civilian housing which cannot be quickly replaced by sth else).

Even worse, it is parroting stereotypes about the Greens party the German conservatives have been busy spinning for decades for political reasons. I'd really like to have a good conversation about this topic but this just reads like a cheap trolling attempt.
Found a really cheap apartment, although a bit small, in a very convenient location.

The apartment was also new. I'd say a very good price/value ratio.

I now moved away from Zurich, but that apartment was very convenient. When I organized the viewing, ~100 people were interested and ~30 visited the apartment.

Obviously in the end only one got it (:
The value is that it lets you comfortably watch stuff with other people.
It's more that most of these people tricked themselves into that path... If you asked them 30 years ago "do you want to spend the next 30 years of weekends sanding and painting a rotting wooden boat", I think most would say no. They only keep doing it because they've already invested so much effort they don't want to give up.
Very interesting. Maybe you're right! One of the complexities of SpinLaunch is that the centrifuge needs to be inside a vacuum chamber, which just completely disappears if you're launching from the moon.
I think we've gotten to the point where "watching TV" is not a thing people do anymore if they're under 70. But "having a TV" is something most people do - it just doesn't imply the same thing. I don't have a TV per se, or any black box hanging on a wall in my house, so the first thing most people mention when they visit is "you have no TV! I've been wanting to get rid of mine, or put it in the basement, but the kids....". But I do have a discreet projector for watching movies or shows (most of which I pirate). The projector itself, however, is a smart TV, although that's not something I noted when I bought it. It's full of apps that update themselves and all manner of shit I didn't ask for. My only use for it is having it play things off a USB card.

I'm actually not sure what the complaint is about "smart" TVs. Just don't give them your WiFi password, or else isolate them on a closed LAN. Plug in your own devices to play what you want to play on them. The cross-marketing is what makes them affordable... the special buttons for accidentally turning on Netflix, that Netflix paid to place in just that position on the remote control, are the reason a 60" TV is within your budget. So just control your network and take the free shit. As long as it has the ports you need. If it doesn't have ports, then obviously don't buy it.

Do you watch them alone, or do you have a dedicated screen for that? Or what's your setup? Many people have a "TV" just for the screen, not the tuner, simply because you don't want the same kind (size) of screen at the same position to watch a movie and to do e.g. browse the internet.

Couldn't agree more. The author not only messes up his own repo while blaming the GitHub UI, he proceeds to then whine that GitHub employees won't restore his data from a backup.
I think Rust is a good position in the sense that the language and community has a track record and culture of going and solving problems instead of sitting on them forever. I agree that many challenges of kernel development are going to end up strengthening and evolving Rust as a language.

I haven't had cable for 15 years at this point and don't miss it, but I generally have had a TV in the living room with a Chromecast or Fire stick plugged into it.

It's nice to be able to throw a movie from the plex server on there with my SO and have a stay-in movie night with some popcorn. Especially during covid lockdown we did this almost weekly with movies, documentaries from youtube or netflix, and tv shows we watched together. A computer screen doesn't really provide the same experience.

On Black Friday I found a deal for a new TV and picked it up, but it was a Roku smart tv. I couldn't find a way to get it working without creating a Roku account so I made one with a dummy email address and then disconnected it from the wifi. Only use it with the Chromecast, which we can use for plex/youtube/netflix without trying to futz around with the UI on the TV.
Salary negotiation? If you're taking on that much accountability, you should be discussing a promotion. If they won't give you it, it sounds like you're in a good position to look elsewhere for a more senior position (with the salary that would come with it).
How much art, science and deep, personal perspectives were lost due to abuse and death stemming from substance abuse? In case of certain substances (like alcohol) we have rather hard statistics about it's overal impact on physical and mental condition of society. Slow change from alcohol to safer alternatives (ex. cannabis) is probably one of the best trends in current times.
things like starbucks or wework or whatever shared office space rentable by the hour are a better solution for this then big office spaces that stay empty most of the time.
The sources posted are pretty much the only we even can have. Naturally for these kind of weapons systems we essentially only have the public information, that includes western weapons systems.

And all of them naturally boast that they can defend against well, everything. Only when something is actually tested in the field we can see how well it works.

Hence Russians have an incentive to deny that it was due to weakness of their CIWS. Or, perhaps more probably, an incentive to say to Putin that they didn't corrupt all the maintenance money and it was just an accident.
