Additionally, most of them were utterly innumerate. There's nothing more infuriating than the "I'm not a math person" folks sitting there gleefully pretending to understand data as they disseminate mass panic.
I stopped biting my nails entirely the day my front teeth started to break because of it. Believe me, once that starts to happen, you never ever do it again.
Are you alright
Like if I had said, “thanks for the feedback but I’m going to continue using this other word”? I think we probably would have just moved on and the individual would have been offended, but - why would I do that? To whose benefit? Mine?

Because, look, I’m a successful, senior, valued individual who is respected and liked by my team. In the grand scheme of my life, if someone wants me to use one word vs another, why do I care? I have thousands of things that are more important to worry about than that.

It’s the same way that I work with someone who likes to be addressed in emails by their full name - okay, no problem, remind me once and I’ll just move on. Or a coworker I had who was from Africa and did not want to be referred to as “African American” - sure, fine.

Doing so diminishes me not at all, because I don’t define my worth based on whether I use the correct (or incorrect) word or not.

It seems like a lot of the objections that I see in this thread have to do with people having issues being “corrected” or “policed” or “silenced”, all of which have to do with how they interpret how those moments have wronged THEM. Another option would be to let it go. Yet another would be to see themselves as making the faintest possible effort to make sure people feel welcome.

I too was about to comment about the frame rate. You can clearly see the lag in their presentation video and that's not reassuring as this model looks like it's got less than 20K triangles.

Removed from newer models due to part shortages / cost reduction. The software function removed from models with the hardware for consistency / to give the false impression that it wasn't a useful sensor and that the cars are not going backwards in capability.

IDK about trillions of dollars, but it certainly would be expensive. The entire process appears to involve creating artificial diamonds in an environment where radioactive material has been gassified in order to capture it in the diamond structure.

All this for a battery that provides an (effectively) infinite microwatt supply.

The article tries to say that you could use this for a pacemaker (yeah right...) Really, this would only really be useful in something like a remote sensor where it can take a day/week/month to charge a capacitor that ultimately triggers report signal.

The article mentions space missions, but again, this is far less practical than doing something like an RTG.

I thought I wanted/needed this too when doing my first design. Having a few under my belt now, I firmly believe it would be more of a problem than not.

Automatic placement/routing would become a crutch that would prevent folks from learning what actually is necessary to design a half-decent PCB.

Folks that need auto-routing won't be aware/skilled enough to notice and fix problems before sending the design off to be fab'ed, and then will spend unnecessary amounts of time debugging a broken board only to learn what they should have before sending it off... or will grow frustrated and think the software sucks or something.

There's a lot more to PCB design than just connecting nets together, and skipping the step where you learn how to do it properly would be like refusing to learn to code and instead only want to use no-code UI widgets. It will bite you hard one day and you will lack the skillset to know why.

Besides that... auto-placement is really an impossible task, even for the "big guys" like Altium. The editor cannot possibly know what's inside the component's data sheet, or infer best practices etc. Things like this one particular switching boost converter chip requires a capacitor on the output no further than 0.2" away... etc. So any auto-placement or auto-route feature will be half-baked at it's best, even if done well.
> I find it interesting how we're coming up on actual 2025

The story seems set in 2021, so we've already passed it.
I think there's no question that employees are going to have the expectation that they can choose their work environment and this will affect recruiting. However, I don't think it's a given that remote options are an unalloyed good. People have different preferences. This is a sorting function and both remote and non-remote companies are going to have limited candidate pools.

For my own part, I prefer companies that force some shared in-person time. I vastly prefer in-person relations and collaborating. I would also prefer companies that provide some time at home, so for me the hybrid option is ideal and the question is how many days in-office are required. I can't imagine I'm unique.

I fully recognize different people have different preferences and I don't think there's one size fits all here. I'm glad if we can self-select on this.
It sucks. But it's predictable pricing for companies buying it and it's predictable revenue streams for the makers of the software (that's if no one jumps boat en-masse).
Not a book, but I really like the "Moneyball" movie (2013) for that reason. They design an algorithm and use it to manage a team.
Fair, out of context it's unclear. I'm in Washington state.
> Emily Lipstein typed “Motherboard” (as in, the name of this website) into a document and Google popped up to tell her she was being insensitive: “Inclusive warning. Some of these words may not be inclusive to all readers. Consider using different words.”

It’s amazing how a Fortune 500 company can release a product that chastises you for using the word “motherboard” because it has “mother” in it, while other people insist that this is a “fringe” type of thinking and not “mainstream” on the left.
I lived in a Southwest Virginia college town for a few years after college.

* Fast and cheap fiber internet. Reasonably priced utilities.

* A reasonably sized and maintained home with a yard goes for under $200,000.

* Small airport with a connection to Charlotte on AA that I believe had federally subsidized aviation access.

* Small risk of natural disasters.

* I did a photography gallery and the mayor of that town stopped by to see it.

I enjoyed my time there but after friends slowly moved to bigger cities, I did too. I can't see myself happy there anymore. I probably wouldn't be married now and probably would have had a harder time forward in my career. Even if there was a tech scene there, it wouldn't be larger than 10 or so people, and the local tech companies were far less advanced.

But if I had a choice as a kid where would be more fun to grow up, I'd say back in Virginia. More room to roam, outdoor activities nearby without parking issues, yard for hosting get-togethers, and far less pressure in school/extra-circulars.

Hope this helps a little :)
I wish there were a channel that highlighted, in revolving fashion, subtitled news broadcasts from major media outlets around the world. Having lived in South Korea for many years and finally learning passable Korean, I was amazed at the quality and depth of reporting on the evening (8 p.m.) news there, essentially 50 minutes of in-depth coverage of topical issues, with no commercial breaks. The sheer amount of quality reporting on the economy, politics, and global events puts the US thin gruel efforts at journalism to shame. Doubtless there are other examples around the globe of excellent news coverage, and it would be a wake-up call to Americans to see how mediocre our own fare is.
people who are freaking out over netflix subscriber drop seem to ignore that they abruptly dropped 700k russian subscribers all at once (for well known and good reasons), which would cause a big dip in a subscriber count chart no matter how good the otherwise incremental global growth is.
I appreciate your point about population decline as that isn't something I had considered at all.

Maybe rural doesn't capture what I'm looking for, but I'm not sure of a better word and it does capture the feeling. I would like at least 4 acres and some privacy at the very least. Then the question becomes what I'd have to give up to get that. It definitely means giving up living in a big city, but maybe it doesn't mean giving up a small city/town.
Is that a GPT3 generated text ? It must be.
While I don't doubt that an intent of this is to promote empathy, I would need to see some evidence before I could be open to the possibility that that is its effect. Anecdotally, these things seem to incense anger and hatred- I've never heard anyone say that being language-policed made them a better person, but I have seen people behave in a way that suggests the opposite. Personally, I become less empathic when someone assumes authority over what I say or write.
Again, you literally know nothing about how or why the decision is made, but are 100% sure about what happened and why. Yet they are the problem and not you?

I would urge you to actually seek facts first, rather than make them up yourself just because you are sure you are right.
It's not a particularly helpful approach.
A little off-topic, but I love the style of this writer.

The humor is a little goofy in the best way; the structure is detailed, but still conversational. It just feels very… personable.

But how do you actually find content that you like?

Sometimes I have to go though 4-5 different shows/movies on various streaming networks before I find something worth watching and even then, the shows usually get really bad by season 2-3. I can't imagine how wasteful it would be to have to buy all these bad shows instead of just streaming them.
They can post it on all of your doors as a TOS for leaving the house. If you want to sue, you'll have to prove you climbed out of the window.
Not a Tesla, just a plain old fuckup on my part - I backed into a fan box mounted about 3’ off the ground in a parking garage. Was too reliant on cameras and the backup radar- didn’t look and boom - nice big crease in my rear panel. So yes this sort of thing is not some sort of crazy edge case only encountered on airport tarmacs.
You got it correct with "legal repercussions". Getting banned for TOS violations is hardly a legal repercussion, it's just someone exercising property rights. Nobody should have to pay for someone else's speech, good, bad or indifferent.

Lack of legal repercussions is also not lack of social repercussions.

Maybe we should be insisting on American companies retaining core American values, but that's not the legal environment they operate in, which is one of "fiduciary duty" only.
Should companies give hiring preferences to candidates who currently have a low income? Or who grew up in low income households? Or come from certain Zip codes?

I agree we should provide people with greater opportunities, but as a practical matter what are you proposing that employers actually do?

That's another thing which is recent. Before Haswell, x86 cores had almost no huge TLB entries. IvyBridge only had 32 in 2MiB mode, compared to 64 + 512 in 4KiB mode.

Look, it’s not helpful when making the case that white males (which I am, BTW) are being discriminated against and that we should feel bad about that and fix it when folks start saying “but actually women aren’t as smart at the high end as men and so…”
"Won't fix" is a ticket resolution that should be used with only the tenderest of messaging. It's highly jarring to the initiated!
Most Detoxing your hear about (and all from “alternative” (read: fake) medicine) is a marketing strategy for treating nonexistent conditions.

For any large code base, it'll go on for months, since it gets done between higher priority work. You'll discover some problems, sure. But if they were really important, you'd have hit them earlier. My experience is these sorts of efforts create a lot of busy work and not much more.
I think many single-season Netflix shows would have been movies 15 years ago. But many types of films just don't get made anymore, and many directors and performers would rather work on series.

I’d still watch a show with one season, just like I’d watch a film without a sequel. I don’t tend to watch Netflix shows because they just aren’t that good.
All 10Ks include enough weasel words that if you take them at face value they say nothing.
Can I ask an office hours type question?

I worked on a very similar (if not identical lol) project at a job once upon a time and the biggest problem I had (and one that I never really solved well) was recovering call stacks from trace data. I effectively ended up using DWARF and just simulating execution and keeping a call stack in the decoder. This mostly worked fine for small and simple programs, but I ran into SO MUCH trouble because I found that (at least on my generation of cores) IPT actually overflows and drops packets very frequently if you have too many calls/returns too quickly. This is largely not an issue for C code but once you start getting into more dynamic languages with fancy features, IPT cannot keep up. Once packets get dropped, the entire call stack for the entire rest of the thread is ruined since you have no idea who called/returned in the dropped packets.

One option that we had but didn't really chase down due to time was maybe combining IPT with low frequency stack traces so that we can both just reset every so often and, if needed, work backwards/apply heuristics in order to arrive at that next callstack.

How did y'all manage this? Your call stacks look totally correct and I'm very impressed :)
Much like “pray the gay away” there’s this ongoing idea among conservatives that being gay is a choice, so by that reasoning kids can be recruited into being gay.

In my most generic address I mostly receive email from a Bolivian government officer, a Mexican government officer, and a Texan guy who has changed jobs a lot since before the pandemic.

It's an unfortunate self-fulfilling prophecy of the modern data-driven mindset. Sometimes the very act of collecting and acting on that data materially affects the data itself by creating perverse incentives.

The two parent posters are far from alone in my experience. Lots of people are getting turned off by the variable quality and uncertain future of the home-made productions, which means lots of people are holding off starting to watch a show until it's somewhat established and had some positive reviews. If your management strategy is to measure early engagement with your own shows and viciously kill off anything that doesn't make the cut, and if your viewers know this, then you have defeated yourself no matter how good the show is or how popular it would naturally have become.

A few years ago there was almost a trend for shows that weren't getting the numbers to get wrapped up with some sort of mini-series or TV movie so at least there was a chance for the production team to finish telling their story and give some closure for the fans (who might be fiercely loyal in sentiment even if too few in number to sustain the show). It's a little ironic Netflix would probably have been in a better position than anyone to adopt this kind of strategy and establish a reputation for being trustworthy and loyal to fans. Now it has the opposite reputation and we're openly speculating about whether it will ever recover.

Not yet but I have a Twiddler still in original packaging but I think it's an old DB9 RS232 so it'll take some doing to interface it to my PC...
I associate "crypto" with "low fees" and "strong sender anonymity" and "transaction privacy". Really, I view it, especially those like Monero, as humanitarian money- something to act as our digital cash in the absence of sensible governments who would adopt central-but-private systems like GNU/Taler.

Disclaimer: I don't hold any cryptocurrency unless I need to buy something with it :)
Telegram seems as fast to me but I have groups for friends so I don’t have to do much selection.
It's time to update this kind of guides with at least 2.5GbE networking. I suspect most FTTH ISPs will start defaulting to 2 or even 5 Gbps soon (mine already offers theses speeds in PNW, but at premium costs).

There's very few consumer options at 2.5 / 5 GbE; you can usually pick up cheaper 10 GbE gear (but on older standards, non-multi-gig compatible).
Or rather because the OS you're using doesn't think you're responsible enough to have that kind of control over your own computer.

I would be extremely surprised if this came from the left: most people I know relish the negative connotation of being able to describe someone as a landlord.

I would believe the GP's second hypothesis; it's hard to imagine who else would even think to substitute "property owner" for "landlord" (it's not even accurate!)
JIT languages still have a bit of a trade off.

But for a pure pre-compiled example there is Apple Bitcode which is meant to be compiled to the destination architecture before run (as opposed to JIT code which is compiled when run). It's mandatory for Apple watchOS apps and when they released watch with a 64bit CPU they just recompiled all the apps.
Etching masks are usually digitally printed; they shouldn't care about the shape of the traces.
> they raised their prices - significantly

Yeah, and I was right on the edge, not really watching it enough to justify the previous, cheaper, price. When they raised the price it served as a motivation to cancel it. In a 6 months I might join for a bit to watch some newer shows, then probably cancel again.

Raising prices works well perhaps if people are in love with the product or there is just no other alternative. But people have been auto paying and not really thinking much or using it, raising the prices is a decision point to re-evaluate the value of the service.
Have fun scrolling down, and watch the flaming bar graph of accumulating losses. I think early-to mid-March was rich. Like a good humor site, hard to pick a top N for any small N.
I wonder about the impact to the county. As a self-governing entity, I believe Disney paid for all utilities, roads, etc. in the Reedy Creek Development District (I think that is/was the name). I have heard that now county taxpayers will need to put up and additional $2,000 or more per resident to provide those services at the same level Disney provided them.

No doubt this was a political gift to Disney when they promised to bring development to the Orlando area half a century ago, and Disney certainly fulfilled that part of the deal.
> As a society, we have not figured out who is liable in cases like this -- the owner or the car company that engineered the AI.

For the most part none of this is novel to the law.

So long as the owner didn’t do anything negligent themselves, then it seems a strong claim of product liability (defective product). It seems there is very little chance of contributory negligence of the owner with this function, unlike crashes in self-drive mode, where the driver was supposed to pay attention and maintain their hands on the wheel, but turns out they were sleeping or in the backseat live streaming.

I do think there should be legislation adopted to protect the victims by giving them a statutory private right of action against both the owner and the car manufacturer to hold them jointly and severally liable for any accident involving self driving vehicles, then in practice the owner/manufacturer (i.e. their insurance companies) to sort out liability.
I think it's because most of the time the "politics" that are objected to tend to be things like having an LGBT character in a show. While it's probably not true that everyone who complains about "politics" on TV these days are objecting to LGBT people, it is almost certainly true that everyone who watches TV and gets disgusted by seeing an LGBT character will code their disgust in terms of "being tired of politics" shoved down their throat, etc.

Thus it tends to be very likely that the person complaining about "politics" is simply masking a disgust of others' identities, but doesn't want to get into specifics because it would be a bad look. Therefore the question asking for specifics is interpreted as a way to pick a fight, because they know what might ensue if they actually got into specifics.
I think the best option would be an extension that disables autoplay across the board. There are many out there, though all flawed in their own way. The least worst for Chrome seems to be AutoplayStopper.
Negotiated FedEx and UPS rates are often 90% off the retail price or better. If you can get the box sent from a shipper that has a daily pickup from UPS and reimburse them, you may save a great deal of money.
Great work and writeup.

In terms of the pictured old pcbs with rounded traces, I wonder if when applying tape "on film" or "on mylar" it was rather easy, when applying narrow fixed-width tape for a track, to bend and follow curves while doing so. Thus, I presume, one could both avoid cutting the tape at bends, and follow smooth curves already drafted by hand.

Here's what came up for me with a search for datak tape:

This sounds ideal (as an introverted IC programmer). But the discipline required to keep this schedule would require everything related to communication and decision making to be combined into a single day. I could imagine that being a source of tension among those that work at different paces - some wanting to move faster with more touchpoints, some slower with less. Either way, once or twice a week feels like a good "compromise".
