People say the same about the religious right 20-30 years ago. The modern, younger right really isn't concerned with censoring video games or making blasphemy illegal, but the general perception by anyone on the outside is that they'll force you into church on Sundays and go around lynching the melanated.
Google selling SketchUp rather than open sourcing it is another one of Google’s horrible product decisions.
Most of that is because of trucks for last mile. Whereas trains used to go right into factories they don’t even slow down in the same towns now.
A media server is not a "homelab."

One of the most irritating things about "homelabs" is that most people seem to think a "homelab" means "a rack of very expensive, way-overspec'd ubiquiti gear, an OTS NAS unit, and a docker container server running media server/torrent shit."

I have a laptop running a dozen different containers - bookstack, torrent client, rss reader, and so on. I don't think of it as a "homelab."
Because those radars are low results and lead to false positive. The achieved better results with camera only.
I’ve ordered a set of 50 pound kettlebells from Amazon and watched the delivery person struggle on my security camera.
It was simply never anticipated so why would you have such a thing. Plus people do still live in the Rust Belt and rural areas around it so it's all "working just fine still".

One thing that's interesting: around where I live, property lines are defined by stone walls and you see tons of rando stone walls in the middle of the forest. Then if you do some research you find that 100% of all the trees were clear-cut back in colonial times and all the trees you see today are under 100 years old (yet it's a verdant forest during the summer). There used to be a ton more people - easily 10x - but the existing political structures are the same and mostly still work well enough.
Netflix has good points: best ui. Good library. Their bad points is what worries me for the service: poor quality of new content.

I have not seen anything that wows me for quite some time at least for my preferences (SciFi).

So maybe it is for Netflix (the sky falling) things that start as a trickle might end as a flood.
They published some shareholder statement years back saying "The quality of the programming does not seem to correlate with how much most users consume".

So there you go. I found the same, 10 years back I would read about something amazing and critically acclaimed -- and they'd have it!

Now rarely do they. But, my wife and I still watch a lot of Netflix. It is the service which seems to have many things she wants to watch and a good amount of things we both want to watch.

Things only I want to watch I mostly find on Hulu and HBOMax. Or I have to watch them the old fashioned way because they are too obscure to be on a streaming platform.
I am aware of the "news" reporting fake information, there is no indication to this story why "105 million" would "disappear", or why Orange and Osceola counties would have to provide services to Disney with out taxing them for the services like every other tax payer.

Reedy Creek is a special tax district designed to REDUCE Disney's cost by enabling them to provide some traditional government services themselves and not having to pay the associated taxes to the counties.

With the dissolving of Reedy Creek Disney yes Orange and Osceola counties will have to provide service but they are also going to collect additional taxes for those services.
Sounds like that was some malicious compliance on behalf of the delivery person who had to carry them
100% no.

On Urbit you have ~65,000 potential star sponsors and can switch at any time. (Worth noting: after a year and a half on the network, I have not heard of anyone being refused service by any star.)

That's a clear difference from today's internet, where effectively all discourse gets siphoned off, by a series of vicious megacorporation incentives -- the need to lock you in, the need to serve you up manipulative advertising -- onto the servers of one of four FAANG companies. (I think we can safely remove the N at this point, but then the acronym ends up looking rather seemly.)
This is an inherent feature of the emerging system where cultural norms flow top-down from college educated professionals (who are far whiter than the population as a whole). That’ll be true even on matters relating to minorities, because it’ll be college educated white people empowered to decide which non-white people get a platform.
Yes an AI in this case would be more intelligent than whichever human designed this feature. Google is actually a pioneer in the space of AI comment toxicity filters.

Even a toy solution would be smarter, you could compare the TF-IDF of each word in different populations (woke, average, toxic) to identify non-woke language, if that was the intention - not saying it’s right.

This is clearly just someone who ran a regex over a dictionary and didn’t check the output of their script for scunthorpes such as “motherboard”. It’s so low tech for Google, 1990s technology.
Agreed.

First mistake, if you want to get into an elite university, you need to be Number 1 because the other zillion applicants sure as hell are.

Second (big) mistake: didn't play a sport. Ivies need to fill Title IX slots, and not taking advantage of that is foolish when entry is so competitive. In addition, studies have repeatedly shown that colleges will bend the admission criteria if you are actively good at playing a sport at collegiate level.

Third (huge) mistake: trying to go in for "business" as a major. Had she chosen to come for a STEM field, she probably would have been admitted to at least one of those Ivies. And then she could have transferred to "business".

This is someone who didn't get very good (if any) advice on how to get into an Ivy.
There sort of is, in the form of merging governing bodies and/or consolidating public services. This lets one entity size them appropriately to the budget, in exchange for giving up the ability for smaller entities to more effectively concentrate services in one area of a county or township.
Mid-senior level, so I guess you're about 75 years old? JK. I'm not sure what that means in context, but here are some tips for impostor syndrome in general:

1. Re-label it as many ways as you can. Write down when and how it shows up for you, and use that information to describe the term using different words (i.e. don't use "impostor" or "syndrome"). This can sometimes automatically suggest new ways to tackle the problem.

2. Note its comings and goings. When is it most severe? When is it less noticeable? These questions can help you to understand more about yourself and find new ways of getting control over it.

3. Expectations management through objectivity: Write down what you expect of yourself, in the most optimistic case. Then ask others what is literally expected of you. Sometimes it's a good idea to reverse the challenge on yourself, for example if a C grade is minimally required, then aim for a C instead of an A.

Just some ideas from coaching people through such situations. Good luck.
Woops. I mean spontaneous.

Thanks for giving me the benefit of the doubt and not being a complete jerk about it.
I've seen some good things about BricsCAD shape; free, similar workflows to sketchup, ability to open/load sketchup models, a couple of more advanced modeling features as well. Comes bundled with the full BricsCAD package which can be used for a few days free, but you don't actually need to touch it. From the little I've played with it, it seemed pretty good.

I've switched mostly to other open source CAD software and use an old desktop installation of sketchup 2017 when I still want to simply "sketch" a quick and dirty model, so I've not really used Brics. I've also heard some people don't like it, but it seems so few people know about it, it's hard to find many unbiased reviews/critiques of it.
Saying that "woke" means anything conservatives don't like is a very woke thing to say. Woke is post modernist far left garbage which ends at center-left. Not at "far right".
The Bitmanip "LEA" instructions were added primarily for sh1add.uw, sh1add.uw, and sh3add.uw which not only shift and add but also zero-extend the lower 32 bits of the rs1 register to 64 bits before shifting and adding them.

Thus they are replacing not two instructions but three. This addition was indicated because of the number of critical loops in legacy software that, against C recommendations, tries to "optimise" code by using "unsigned" for loop counters and array indexes instead of the natural types int, long, size_t, ptrdiff_t. This can indeed be an optimisation on amd64 and arm64, but it is a pessimisation on RISC-V, MIPS, Alpha, PowerPC.

One codebase that uses "unsigned" in this way is CoreMark and they explicitly prohibit fixing the variable type. But it's also common in SPEC and in much code optimised for x86 and ARM in general, where using "int" pessimises the code. If they used long, unsigned long, or the size_t or ptrdiff_t typedefs the code would run well everywhere.

While the .uw instructions were being added, it was very low cost to add the versions using all the bits of rs1 at the same time.

So, in the context of this discussion, having 32 bit operations sign extend the results to 64 bits is a weirdness. More ISAs do is than zero-extension, but the most common in the market zero-extend. Note that at the time RISC-V was designed arm64 was not yet announced, so only amd64 did zero-extension.
Can verify, I've seen engineers flown out with parts to oversee repairs. Just looking at a flight tracker site and looking at how much checked baggage costs should show you it's an obvious choice.

Customs in most countries is hilariously broken, they can seize or sit on your stuff for months with no recourse and no due process.
My dad made a black walnut coffee/end table for me, and instead of waiting for the next time he drove out here, he decided to ship it via FedEx. It was like 100 lbs, but due to the very large size and somewhat wonky shape, he then built a plywood encasement for it with some used carpet to keep the epoxied table from getting scratched. It was quite a sight to behold. The FedEx guy had no problem hauling 100+ lbs of large, awkward object, but he was curious as can be as to what on earth he was delivering.
Strangely my reaction was the opposite. I didn't really have tv, and I LOVED commercials, I would even put on the paid programming channels if left alone.
All this makes me realize that we have Netflix and haven't really watched or enjoyed it since, I think, the Expanse. I guess we watched the Squid Game, too, but I thought that was terrible. Like a low grade ripoff of an old (and much more intelligent) manga called The Liar Game.
Thanks so much for posting that, looks like I'm eligible now. Was always feeling a bit bad when the blood drive came around at my workplace.
To be fair, I think their algorithm is way better once it gets a bead on your interests. Now, that definitely results in some shows never pop up in your 'feed,' but overall I'm in 2 modes of watching:

1. Scrolling into something that suits my interests
2. Navigating straight to something I want

If I'm in mode 1, then the feed works pretty well. If I'm in mode 2, then I can search straight away for the thing I'm looking for (and usually that search starts at the Google layer so I can be sure I'm going into the correct app in the first place!)
This is more due to safety and security requirements of the package than the economics or shipping itself. FedEx and UPS will be very happy to ship you something for a steep discount without any assumed liability, but there would be no takers for it. Providing a trusted chain of custody for the package all the way from point A to B is the real value add.

This has nothing to do with “white” and everything to do with regressive left.

I'd take the French job because I'd say new experiences matter a lot more than a little more money. It's still enough to buy a home in most parts of the US.

There's also the third option of making a European salary then buying a mansion on some Indonesian island.
As long as I can turn it off can't say I care much. Google can tut at me all it wants, but at the end of the day I'm still going to ignore them.
The kernel write the pages into swap long before it decides they are rarely used. Otherwise rewriting them would be way too slow to be of any use. Any normal use will fill some swap space, and if the memory pages keep getting dirty (and you have spare disk IO), your computer will keep writing them to swap.

How much RAM you have is not really relevant.
I'm reading the commentor you're responding to as commenting on general social trends in rural areas they're familiar with (or merely hearing about) rather than judgments on any specific individual.

It's certainly possible that they're mischaracterizing the social state of affairs in any number of places, but general rural economic decline does seem to be a frequent form of political handwringing (including complaints from some people ostensibly representing rural voters who claim they're left out when it comes to policy). I would definitely love to hear about specific areas or general statistics that prove the general narrative wrong, though.
As the midterms are getting closer, both parties are ramping up their rhetoric to enrage (sorry, I meant engage) the crowd. Some time ago I was looking for plain stats on gun related deaths and found a nice table on fbi.gov about crime in 2017. The table presented a simple picture: out of 40k deaths only 5k were of criminal nature (i.e. not a suicide, not self defense) and nearly all of those 5k cases were inter-gang disputes. This left us a couple hundreds of "random crimes", but for a nation of 350 million people, armed to the brows, that's an astonishingly good self restraint. FBI stopped publishing that table after 2017, probably because it revealed an obvious emm.. bias in the numbers.

Edit. In the meantime, deer remains the most dangerous animal in the US. It is deer who causes a couple millions of car crashes every year. Yet, nobody is afraid of deers.
I manage a network of a few hundred multi-layer switches, several routers, and a couple thousand wireless access points across a couple dozen campuses.

My home network is an Eero. The network engineer’s kids have no homelab, as it were.

Occasionally, I get the urge to build out a proper homelab but quickly realize I don’t want to come home and deal with the same stuff and put the Eero back in.

It’s not that I don’t like learning and experimenting, it’s just that I get to do that all day at work and I need some work/life balance.

But, I still love seeing these posts and commenters chiming in with their own configurations.
> What Pandas does is notoriously hard to fit into a compile-time type system.

Sounds a lot like F# type providers to me.

I think of a homelab as one or more servers (or a computer, laptop etc.) located in a home to play around with software, virtualization, hosting stuff both for testing and actual functional (home) use. Basically everything that's experimenting (like in a real lab) with technology. Of course the definition will be different for everyone :)
There's two kinds of microcode, vertical and horizontal. RISC resembles vertical microcode that can expand to horizontal microcode looking uops in a single decode stage.

Having coded all three (vertical ucode, horizontal ucode, and RISC decode stage HDL) the biggest difference I've found is that RISC tends to be three address, and CISC vertical microcode to be two address. I think that comes from the same place as assuming the presence of an I$. The gate count niche that lets you have a large SRAM block for cache also let's lets you have a large SRAM block for your register file. You're therefore not as dependent on a single accumulator or two tightly coupled with your ALU like earlier CISC designs had to encourage.
Please don't read it as snark. It was not my intention.

What I am trying to say is that perhaps the lesson you could take from this it's to not think that something is "inferior" or "needs fixing" just because it doesn't immediately meet your expectations.

It isn't Python's fault that you have to use at the job even though you don't like it.

It isn't Python's fault that you have to use even though you are absolutely certain that dynamically typed languages are worse.

It isn't Python's fault that type hints are just hints and can not become a full-fledged type system.

It isn't Python's fault that mypy is still not mature enough to work reliably for you.

And it certainly isn't Python's fault that your coworkers don't care about all that as much as you do.
Netflix P/E ratio is about 30:1, so Netflix not growing is a bad look.
Huh what even is that thing? Have they never heard of regular light rail?
P.A.R.A: Two Years of Practice
Albuquerque, NM is kind of rural.

It's weird, since at 500,000 people we definitely meet the definition of a big city, but culturally people behave like it's a small town. Additionally, it's feasible to live in the mountains and still live less than an hour away, or to live in one of the nearby villages (Corrales, Placitas, Tijeras) and essentially enjoy the same lifestyle as someone living in rural New Mexico despite Albuquerque being very close by.

And yeah, we have ample numbers of people who work in tech, albeit most of them are connected to the federal government in some capacity, so it's not the "trendy" kind of tech. For that reason, and perhaps also because of the age and general conservative nature of people who work for the federal government, the tech community here might come across as having less energy than a place that's a fraction the size of Albuquerque. You're more likely to find a fellow programmer through a outdoor group than a tech meetup.

For a company coming out of serious trouble in the 90's, it seems like it was a good idea even if it was a bad ergonomic design. How many other computer mice do you talk about for a quarter of a century?
A quick search turns up that Smart Summon has a range of 200 feet, not 60.

How is distance between the vehicle and the phone measure, and then provided to the vehicle?

Is it possible that the vehicle sensors that are responsible for detecting objects near the vehicle failed? If the sensor didn't fail, how about the control link that shuts the vehicle down?

So if anything is near the vehicle, it automatically shuts it down, or just during smart summon?
That's true until you get back to Git's packfiles, which use deltas.

Git's form of compression is very interesting, but a key concept as you study the history of version control is that snapshots and deltas encode the same information, so the choice of which to use is an implementation detail[1].

[1] I covered this in detail in a preso on Git data structure design for Papers We Love San Diego: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fHSZz_Mx-Uo&t=400s
> All 50 created MyClass objects go out of scope and will be cleaned up soon after the above code executes.

It would be nicer to put them in an object pool.
Much of the condescension you have attributed to the post appears to not be present in it. Population statistics are not individual statistics. Perhaps he is wrong about the population statistics but your existence doesn't invalidate that.

Note how "Children are more often shorter than adults" is true despite the existence of Sophie Hollins of Southampton and Peter Dinklage the actor. That isn't an insult to children and it isn't arrogance on my part to say that I am likely taller than a child at my 183 cm. It's just that, absent other information, certain population measures are true about certain populations.

Anyway, I am curious as to whether rural counties vs urban counties exhibit the differences he's talking about. I'll go look at the census and Pew surveys and see what it brings up.
Isn’t amd still hamstrung by their size relative to their competitors? At least in different ways than 5 years ago. The latest examples of amd having to choose carefully include them having to choose what products to focus on with their agreed upon capacity at tsmc last year (more zen chips to make gains ops intel, more gpus to make market share gains vs nvidia and or dedicating as much capacity to console apus for Sony and Microsoft. Also seems to be the case when they tried to make a budget gpu and had to settle with strapping laptop gpus to desktop pci cards and suffering heavy derision from gamers because, as I understand from people familiar with the way chips are designed, a design for a new die can cost tens of millions of dollars and amd, unlike intel and nvidia, are still too small to just crank out new costly designs at will.
There is tremendous value in this podcast. Many histories are linear stories of how we got to today, but Sean Haas goes further by exploring many of the dead ends. Those diversions are essential if you want to understand the why, and not simply the how.

It also manages to strike a reasonable balance between being an easy listen while going adding some technical depth. For example: you aren't going to learn enough to build your own mercury delay line, but you are going to have a rough idea of how it worked and what the limitations were. It is as much a history of technology as it is of the people behind it.
It's not very useful to type, but that's why we have type inference.

It's certainly very useful to know, even if that knowledge is indirect via the type of the resulting dataframe after all the transforms.
That affects ELF relocations but not the code.

Arm64 is even worse! There is almost exactly the same instruction, but it also zeroes the low bits of the target address, so as you relocate code you also have to change the offset in the 2nd instruction even if the distance between the reference and the target stays the same.
