I think that's the point GP is making with his sarcastic remark :)
I didn't mention it because I don't think it's a Framework issue (GP obviously doesn't have it) but rather my somehow messed up configuration of it, but the one problem I have with mine at the moment is that ten seconds or so after resuming (but not before) everything starts segfaulting, literally any command. And consequently logs don't get written to disk, so there's no record of it after I reboot it (with the physical button, necessarily) - so I'm having a hell of a time trying to debug it...
I have a Core 2 Duo laptop. I pimped it up to 3GB of RAM and an SSD. I also installed Ubuntu Mate. It works great for remote work, when I mostly just use it as a terminal into my workstation. I can also use MS Teams on it without issues.

I read somewhere that it might support 5GB of RAM (4GB + 1GB), but I don't want to spend more money on it on a gamble.

According to the post not much. The Rust version performs about the same because it generates mostly the same machine code.

I find on most occasions "custom COTS" tends to mean "we don't actually know what we do, but off the shelf - top Gartner Quadrant quartile in particular - is best practice and we'll figure it out from there," to the completely expected drawn out suffering that follows.

The origin is the cypherpunk movement and coders looking into ways to exchange money peer-to-peer. If you think that's "crank-ism" I'm not sure I want to know what social and monetary policies you support. Certainly Bitcoin gained initial popularity fast because it enabled the people to take back some control.
I'm sure it itself could be healthy, but the mountain of butter it's usually paired with negates all those benefits.
It’s not that simple. Even if getting into earth orbit gets cheaper and less risky, planetary exploration will still be hard, because it is hard and getting into space is not the hardest part.
IME most consumer laptops (that aren't Chrome books which have definitely taken over) at best have virtualization turned off (so you can turn it on, potentially breaking some Windows thing.)

Great video. It points out the similarity of "Uranus" and "uranium"; we should pronounce the first 2 syllable of those words the same if we want to be consistent, and I think we all know how uranium is pronounced.
"VC Intern" is a scary idea
Yes, I can only imagine the parent made a very unfortunate choice of wording, meaning "integrated" as in "integrated into the laptop," and "3d card" as "discrete graphics card." You definitely want A graphics card for battery life (not that you can buy a laptop without one) and you want it to be one integrated into the CPU.
Unless the antennas are glued (annoying but can be worked around with a heatgun), your BIOS device locks your wifi card (like Lenovo did with some of their laptops), or you accidentally get a CRF module that can only be used in compatible Intel devices, most laptops use a standard sized M.2 E key or miniPCIe network card that are totally interchangeable. Intel AX200/AX210s are dirt cheap (like $10-20) and done immediate replacements in my past 3 laptops.

I'm not sure I understand how you think this is an "industry self-own", or why you find it hilarious. Presumably, these companies are taking this approach because they realized they stand to make more money by creating their own streaming service and leveraging their catalogs than outsourcing them.

Those that stay in business are presumably making quite a lot of money. The only people getting "owned" here are consumers.
Addendum to 2: use PowerShell 7, a newer major version than the one probably coming as default, and based on the modern Core lineage. You get niceties and the sanity you'd expect such as UTF-8 when writing to files with the > operator.

Do you know why this isn't done for walls as well? It seems like the cellulose is packed directly against both the interior and exterior surfaces of the walls.

Is it simply that hot air rises, and so it's needed more for the roof?

Brick walls don't block wifi that much - there's probably steel or concrete (or both) in your walls and floors. That kills wifi pretty good. In a traditional brick house you can get wifi coverage on 2.4 GHz, and for the most part 5 GHz as well, into the last nook and cranny with a single, well-placed AP.

Those regions could be in even worse shape were it not for remittances.

Actually it's exactly that: within the Sol system we know DNA was favored. The lack of evidence of other encoding systems strongly suggests that at the very least, once DNA happens it outcompetes everything else in Earth-like biospheres. Since we're looking for life in Earth-like locales - and Enceladus is targeted for that reason - then it's reasonable to expect we'd find DNA.

The benefit of DNA is it's conclusive: if we find DNA, then life (or an exceptionally bizarre natural process) must be their, and if we grab a sequence then it's high probability we'll be able to figure out what type of life it is due to some Earth-local proteins being basically limited in improvement by physics itself, and heavily conserved - i.e. even totally alien life would be expected to manufacture a close analogue.

Not to mention that if we turn up something totally weird, we can still synthesize it up in a lab to study.
They certainly do offer ISO-ish keyboards (with the exception of the unfortunate arrow key layout, which breaks 9995-5), as I'm typing on one right now. They don't offer them pre-installed for US orders, if you're looking there; try looking on their EU site instead. In the US, however, you can order the keyboards separately for around $40; the case is designed to support both ISO and ANSI layouts with the same cutouts.

As another commenter has pointed out, there is the quirk, however, that their "English International" keyboard is ANSI. Their British, German, French, etc keyboards are.

Possibly a cultural difference; "security" here basically means nightclub bouncers and the occasional guy at the supermarket/chemist.

I had a X1C bought early 2018. Not sure about the generation from the top of my head, but it had no hpdi screen. Battery life was great and Linux worked fine.

In early 2020 it got stolen (full disk encryption with a strong passphrase luckily). I got a X1C 7th and expected it would be as good as the previous one. The first bad surpirse was the HiDPI screen. Xubuntu did not work well with it, it required a lot of fiddling. Well and then I run some non-Xubuntu app here and there and it required extra fiddling. In the end I gave up and just reduced the screen resolution to some "classical" value and everything was fine again. Have not noticed that my code is worse because of slightly less smooth fonts... (Some distros might be easier in that aspect, Wayland is reportedly better, and to my suprise even i3 seems to work rather well.)

Even worse the battery life is significantly worse than on the previous model. To my understanding higher resolution displays require more energy, there is nothing you can do. Have not checked whether the newer CPU could also have an impact. A full working day on battery is hardly possible anymore, even with little playing of videos or similar.

Finally my current X1C 7th came with a 4G modem that has no Linux driver at all. Not a big deal for me because I have only 1 SIM anyway and my phone has good data rates to share.

More on the anecdotal side: A firmware update was broken recently. I guess bugs happen everwhere. What I liked that Lenovo guys where active on github and a fix came quickly. Couldn't resist thinking: Like in the IBM days when Thinkpads got good support.
Thanks! I did spend quite a while trying to make the mobile experience decent, but if you come back I'd highly recommend checking it out on desktop; nothing beats that 4k monitor with all plan sections expanded.

I'm assuming by 'Dark Mirror' you mean 'Black Mirror', and not 'Dark'? Well, Black Mirror was actually created by Charlie Brooker and his production company Endemol for Channel 4 in the UK and simply bought by Netflix once it was already a hit.

Part of the issue is that many of what Netflix calls "Originals" are the opposite of that and I think it can be confusing for viewers when you throw them into the same bucket as the actual Netflix productions such as The Crown, Stranger Things, Ozark, etc. These are the risky shows, because they had to go out on a limb to green-light them, whereas many of their other "Originals" are actually just acquired and existing successful franchises.

Choosing a Software-Engineering Career Path
As an American who has traveled abroad, I can assure the vast majority of our roads are "maintained" only in the sense that they are passable roads. There really are no standards that are adhered to. It's common where I live to find potholes that would destroy the front suspension of any car attempting to traverse them.
> funny name

'Uranus' is the same as 'Europa' (and many more terms): "breadth" - the former used for the vast cover which is the sky, the second for the land extension.

There's nothing funny about it unless one really hunts for coincidences in sounds through unduly overlappings.

What has «first language» do with it? If you read 'Al' in 'Alcohol' as "Alfred", you are reading it wrong: "Al" is a definite article there, irregardless of coincidences.

Shortwave is easily received in the Ukraine from the BBC (broadcasted from Woofferton UK after a 20? years hiatus), Radio Romania International RRI (even in Ukrainian language) Austria Shortwave (only German, not very helpful) and China Radio International CRI. There are a few others but with limited utility.

Imagine yourself sitting in the bomb shelter. You need a strong signal there for reception not the Mickey-Mouse attempt relying VOA via WMRI from lake Okeechobee. Apparently VOA doesn't think it's worth the effort.

> Apple always had the advantage of controlling both the hardware and the software.

And this is exactly why anyone who likes that approach can & will buy an Apple laptop. Framework is clearly going for the opposite of that market. Instead of being a (necessarily) worse clone of Apple, I think it makes sense for them to cater to the market they are clearly aimed at, which is not people who are happy with a walled-garden system.
Of course when you're doing such intersection calculations you know the things you're intersecting are very close. You don't need a general method that can test arbitrarily sized and spaced polygons against each other. You need a method to determine what is sufficiently close to each other to be worthy of a more detailed check. Then a more specific method to do this check.

You could use 32 bit integers with all shapes specified vs say a 0.1 nm grid giving you around a maximum 0.4m x 0.4m chip size which seems ample. Then when you want to check for rules violations in the cases like you specify with very fine precision use a dedicated check that can assume the relevant geometry is within a small number of grid points of each other. For example the check could work using relative coordinates rather than absolute so say switch to a grid on a 0.00001nm basis (to pull an arbitrary precision out of a hat) and convert the 32-bit absolute 0.1nm coords to relative 32-bit 0.00001nm coords.

Easier said then done to be sure (as you say the tools are egregiously expensive!) but just saying I need a 64-bit or a 128-bit float isn't trying to get to the grips with the problem, just hoping you wave it away with more bits.

I have been in a data science consulting role for several years at a big management consulting firm. Consider this path if it interests you. Money is better. Problems can be more varied and interesting imo. Mentorship is much better. We get lots of PhDs from random fields.

That aside, I work with many data scientists at clients. Most companies are still windows shops. Some may get linux. I've never seen a data science group using STATA successfully. R is ok, but in my experience is falling out of favor rapidly. While R is great for data science, it's relevance as the glue for other things is not so great. I would softly advise python.

I wouldn't bother learning viz tools like tableau beyond basic familiarity enough to slap it on your resume as something you've touched. It's all company specific. Same for the cloud and pipeline shit.

Think hard about what kinds of problems you want to solve. Most problems, that is, every single problem I have worked on, are poor fits for neural networks. PyTorch has never been relevant. Real world business problems just don't really benefit from that kind of stuff all that much. A real data science value add is picking up the low hanging fruit by being smarter about decisions that used to be made on gut instinct or whatever. Unless you really want to work on computer vision or whatever, it's just not something you need to bother with. I typically end up using a lightGBM model for pretty much everything at the end of the day. Which is basically just a fancier random forest.

Many data scientists shops fail to achieve anything because the data scientists are too complacent. Be a business person. Show a willingness to engage on problems and grill business folks for how they make decisions, and discuss how your model could change that process to add value. Don't make book reports on your findings and expect them to figure out how to use it. It's so, so common to have data scientists who don't feel qualified to take that part of the job on, and so they build nice models and visuals that everyone applauds and then collect dust on a shelf. Every output should be clearly dictating a path to generating value, be it money or some other worthy metric.

Highlighting that you're someone who can use their data science to solve real problems will be much more appealing in interviews than someone who can say they data science things the best. IMO, good question would be "I want to make sure I'm joining a group that has the power and support to really influence how decisions get made. Can you give some examples of the work that the business has adopted from your outputs?". Both from a virtue signaling perspective and a genuine desire to avoid joining a back office data science skunkworks that nobody listens to.

edit: I'm on the east coast, and not interested in working for big tech, for context. All of my examples here are from experience working with "normal" companies from dozens of industries, but no west coast tech.

Volkswagen Is Coming for Tesla
Just some general advice:

> https://kfocus.org/order/order-m2.html

NVIDIA gets really old, really fast. My personal laptop has an NVIDIA GPU and AMD iGPU, my desktop is AMD.

For my laptop, a zen2 build of the kernel nets me about 15% more battery life and a snappier system. Unfortunately NVIDIA makes installing that kernel tedious, so I just run the regular kernel. I also have to install the proprietary drivers because noveau keeps crashing (across multiple distros).

n=1 and everything, but I'd strongly recommend avoiding NVIDIA and going with either an Intel iGPU or AMD iGPU/dGPU.

Unless you want to do some ML, in which case NVIDIA is a must.
Correction: they have the same provenance issues as the languages they come from; LLVM IR allows optimizing out memory operations based on aliasing and doesn't explicitly track provenance or aliasing in all cases, therefore it inherits these problems from the C it was designed to compile.
Not really. There are two accepted pronunciations of uranus - one sounds a lot more like "your anus" than the other.

Either way, i find the juvenile jokes that come up whenever the planet is mentioned to be quite tiresome.
I think this dude built it himself. My father in law and my grandpa both built their own homes that they still live in today, neither one had any professional construction experience. Not nearly to this standard, but nobody cared about this sort of thing back the. And they didn’t have YouTube to solve problems.
It's the uniform culture of Eastern Orthodox countries. The state pushes a "one and only" historical narrative in the nation-wide educational system. That narrative is internalised by most of the population as hard objective truths, rather than seen as just a subjective view.

The notion that a sub-community may evolve and try to self-identify and govern itself is inconceivable when "history" tells us that they were us, so there must be some decadent external influences affecting them.
Ha, yes - thanks for the correction. Updated.
