What are your favorite whiskies? I like most Scotch (particularly peaty ones) and Rye. Don't really like Bourbon and other non-Scotch whiskies. A particular treat is Rye and Sweet Tarts. Great pairing. :)

Cooking, video games (normal for tech people but I used to never play any; I finished Spiderman and Ghosts of Tsushima, and played a bit of City Skylines and Valheim).

And I bought a car so I could do more exploring of the broader NYC metro and go hiking more easily. Lots of trips out to Long Island (Huntington, Stony Brook, Cold Harbor, and the Hamptons and Orient Point), Connecticut (Litchfield County is beautiful) and the Hudson Valley. I've visited most of the big parks in every NYC borough but I haven't been to Pelham Bay Park yet.
US troops for training, not redline, understood exception as resulit of TW relations act. I expect US to continue salami slicing as well, and I anticipate situation will turn hot eventually. There's no need to negotiate with TW, it's ultimately a US/PRC force balance issue.

Re: carriers, I was highlighting to OP that there are constraints to US actions imposed by PRC, both militarily and in other examples, i.e. politically. You insinutate it's not US caution but PRC fear, which makes no sense in context of how careful US is shifting TW policy, because force balance is not disproportionate like during 3rd strait crisis anymore, US repercussions are approaching existential as well. As for who loses more, up for debate, but IMO a reigning hegemon has more to lose.
It's not as simple as looking at the stock of outstanding shares to determine issuance, as it's a net figure.

In terms of new issuance, FB spends billions in stock based compensation each year since 2012, all of these are new issuance under the equity incentive plan. It was ~$9.164B for FY2021 alone.

In terms of buybacks, FB started buying back stocks in 2017 and has continued since. In FY2021, they spent ~$55.47B to buy back stocks.

Therefore, outstanding shares have been decreasing since around 2020. But this doesn't mean the company stops issuing shares. The more stock prices fall, the more equity they would need to issue to compete for talent, or alternatively supplement with cash. Long term, stock prices is one of many measures of how the company would be able to raise capital (stock based compensation is an indirect way of raising capital).

Well obviously it was a "business decision". Are we supposed to be moved by the fact that the ultimate decision was based on greed?

Companies can care about their bottom line while serving their community in a responsible manner. Companies going carbon neutral are doing it to improve their image, etc. but the consequences have net benefits for the society. No one's going to call that irresponsible. Feeding the patent troll market with the money that was donated to fight them off? Irresponsible.
Their new pricing definitely was higher but was awesome because we could use all their tools. DataDog is a nightmare and every other tool which nickels and dimes you. I love that they charge per GB and admin user.

edit: We had to resort to using APM on a portion of the farm but this allowed us to use it on all of it and finding issues was way faster. Incidents by level 1 were resolved faster as well and that was huge for global teams SLA.

In the 777 it's a direct mechanical linkage between the controls, with a torque-driven breakout which temporarily severs the link if there's too much difference in the two pilots' inputs

That still leaves the question of how to interpret opposing inputs for the physical control surfaces, though

Not to mention, the gravitational acceleration felt by a body is independent of its mass, so the atomic weight of the gas molecules makes no difference to the acceleration they experience anyway.

The reason "lighter" gases float above "heavier" gases under gravity is not because of different gravitational acceleration but because of buoyancy.
Why do you need a dedicated graphics card for CPU compute? If anything GPU is your concern you're not really interested in an M1 Ultra nor in a 12900K anyways. The CPU itself includes a GPU that is sufficient for anything except GPU heavy workloads, so the parts list is fully complete.

The M1 Ultra version starts at 4000$ dollars with a 1TB hard drive and 64GB memory, but I thought a 32GB option was available, so that's what I went with. By all means add another 32GB for 120$, that's why I sent a link that's fully configurable.

As for a parts list, I sent one because the request was to spec out. If you actually go look for a fully assembled machine you are likely to find one with a similar price.

If you want to add an RTX3070, 256GB of RAM, and an 8TB SSD, you can go ahead, it will still be over a thousand dollars cheaper than the corresponding Mac Studio. Again, that's why I sent the link, so you can play around with it.

Lastly, I don't see how this is any kind of loyalty to a corporation. It's simply pointing out the truth that the computer in question is just very expensive if you care about performance. As far as I'm concerned, it's trying to deny the obvious that the M1 Ultra is slower in workloads that can't use 16 cores efficiently at multiple times the price that looks like religious loyalty to a corporation to me. Especially when the corporation in question does what it can to lock you in, which just isn't the case for AMD or Intel.

If you really need 4 more cores and at the same time do not care about single core performance enough to go with a 12900k, but at the same time care about it enough not to go with a threadripper, to such a degree that you can justify spending 2000$ more, and don't care about GPU performance either, then sure the Mac Studio is for you. Otherwise, it only makes sense if you love macOS at thousands of dollars worth (or are locked into the ecosystem). There's nothing wrong about acknowledging it's an extremely niche product that is almost never justifiable on performance grounds.
Right, I think a lot of people will look at this through modern eyes and wonder what the big deal is, but back in the 2000s when this was an indie darling we were all blown away by the engine.

I recommend everyone, downvoters especially, see the movie Dark Waters, then return wiser and upvote. It will make you angry, and depressed, that such practises are allowed to happen, and are so hard to stop after being exposed.

I think the graphs are a little misleading. They basically throw a bell curve on a graph and say too little money sucks, too much money sucks, you want to be right in the middle. But I disagree. It's not too much money that sucks, it's FAME that sucks. Every example they pointed to was for an extremely famous person. In truth you want to basically min/max your finances - maximize the amount of money you have, and minimize the amount of attention you get. Having a billion dollars is totally fine if nobody knows you have it!
This makes me think of Loic Suberville's videos on language...
Do you actually care about power consumption in a desktop computer under very heavy workload?

By the way, the M1 Ultra has a 370W power supply, so really the question is do you really care about the difference between 300 and 400 watts in this use case?

While the cases you lay out are valid, cats and dogs are already allowed on flights. They must fit into a cannel that fits under the seat though. If I recall correctly you can take the dog on your lap once in the air as well (might misremember this part. It's been a long time sober I've done this). Still would be a problem for anyone who struggles with allergies.
> Disrespect these immigrants. Burn their holy book, call them terrorises when they demonstrate legally. Then talk about “integration failure”.

Can you please provide your best example of how any immigrant was "disrespected"?

Keep in mind you're talking about a nation which welcomed them with open arms when they needed the most, and was extremely generous with it's support.

> Burn their holy book, call them terrorises when they demonstrate legally.

Sweden is a liberal democracy, where freedom of speech is one of its founding principles. Mishandling a religious book does not justify aimless riots, specially if what you're directing your protests at the society which welcomed you.
Pretty incredible leap of faith that people spent half a life working on something to be put on a rocket that could have gone bang in a moment. Very glad it didn’t!
Hayek’s greatest contribution to economics was to show that society is far more complex than we realize, with little pieces of knowledge dispersed among millions of individuals. “The curious task of economics,” he famously wrote in “The Fatal Conceit,” which he published in 1988, “is to demonstrate to men how little they really know about what they imagine they can design.”

The main objective of this work was to reduce the per-syscall overhead through the use of effective system call aggregation. For that purpose, ESCA takes advantages of system call batching and exploits the parallelism of event-driven applications by leveraging Linux I/O model to overcome the disadvantages of previous solutions.

ESCA is capable of reducing the per-syscall overhead by up to 62% for embedded web servers. Real-world highly concurrent event-driven applications such as Nginx and Redis are known to benefit from ESCA, along with full compatibility with Linux syscall semantics and functionalities.

ESCA is released under the MIT license.
Neat. Well done!

Your best course of action is to bring them as extra size cabin luggage.

Anything short of that would be rolling the dice, and the best outcome would still be a horrible experience for the pet.

Edit: even on companies with “pet friendly” adjustments. Looking at how they treat special luggage and other “no really, I’ll pay for it so treat it nice” cargo, I wouldn’t trust major airline companies to be consistently good with animals.
For point 2, forget the Windows problem, in that section we are reminded that Go's strings are just slices of bytes, so the simplicity of these "strings" ends up moving the complexity to the programmer, now we need to keep track of which "strings" are human readable UTF-8 text, which are filenames, and how those correspond in our program.
> - Relocating refugees to another developed country (not Libya, not Turkey, maybe Greece)

Refugees fleeing the war in Syria – let's agree they had the right to go somewhere safe, and the rest of the world had a duty to provide them with somewhere safe to go – but does a refugee have a right to refuge in a developed country in particular? Especially when the country from which they came wasn't, prior to the start of the war/conflict, generally counted as "developed"?

The idea that refugees from a conflict should primarily be hosted by neighbouring countries, who are likely to have much greater cultural/linguistic similarity, rather than by substantially more distant countries with far less cultural commonality, doesn't seem unreasonable. If a country is developing/middle income, and so are most of its neighbours – you can understand why refugees might greatly prefer to seek refuge in a much richer country much further away, rather than its economically more similar immediate neighbours – but are we obliged to honour that preference?

Given the majority of Syrian refugees were Muslim – why didn't the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation take the lead in resettling them in Muslim-majority countries? Or similarly – given Syria is part of the Arab world, why didn't the Arab League resettle them in other Arab states?
Can hempcrete be made from Mars or Moon aggregate instead of lime, and 4d printed?

FWIU, lime requires coral for production? Is lime sustainable?

Alternative solutions for: structural wood frame in a hempcrete structure: stacking hempcrete blocks on structural forms that are stronger and more insulting than structural concrete; green concrete, a carbon and thermal gradient sink; and Hempwood, which is apparently stronger than spec lumber of the same dimensions as well.
The one time I put my cat under the seat instead of buying him his own seat he wet himself and got stress cystitis, so I don't put him through that anymore. Obviously YMMV.
Right, but if you just replace "pet" with "baby" in your comment, the argument is still relevant. I'm not saying either way is wrong, but I don't think you can immediately conclude that it's fair to bring a baby on a plane that disturbs the 30+ people in immediate proximity while obviously unfair to bring a small pet on board

I used to have a dog and got this feedback from people quite often.

As far as I understand, pet allergies are not like peanut allergies in that they're not actually lethal (correct me if I'm wrong!) As such, I feel like it's just one of those things that people might just need to deal with when they're part of a shared space much like sitting next to someone with bad body oder, someone chewing loudly, or someone laughing out loud when they're watching their tv. If it's too much of an annoyance maybe one can try to get moved to a different seat?
Hey Lee, is there anything comprehensive you can point me to to diagnose performance problems in a next.js app? We have one and it’s brutally slow and I can’t seem to figure out the issue.
Even though you specify android/windows, I'm still going to recommend the iPad as it's the best option for what you're looking for.

Other options could be Boox Nova Air (e-ink/android), Remarkable 2 (e-ink/custom linux), Surface Go 1/2/3.
The research is clear here. Modern CCA treatments (the only one with arsenic) require preservatives to be applied first which prevent leaching of arsenic. There has never been a study that I can find which shows a genuine risk of arsenic toxicity from eating from a treated garden bed where crops are planted at least a few cm from the edge of the bed.

And if that's not enough, choose one of the many other treatment options, or line your bed with a proven-safe polythene liner, or use untreated timbers that are resistant to rot like cedar/macrocarpa. If you have any real research to show that any of these options are unsafe I would love to read it.

Any system with weighting/voting will inevitably become biased in some way or another.

Yes, I agree with you on what will happen in big cities where the land value is already high. The idea is more that in the Montana's and the Kansas's - where they already give land away free to people who promise to build improvements - there will be even more of an economic incentive to move to underdeveloped states, giving more families economic opportunities, which will then cause network effects as more families move out, causing housing prices to fall in the big cities. Housing prices will become more equal across the nation, and vertical development will be incentivized over urban sprawl.

Except that mp3s sucked until the iPod, and camera phones sucked until the iPhone. The idea that product quality, ease of use, UX/UI, or polish doesn't matter is just wrong. This thing is absolutely going to bomb (reminds me of GoPro's Karma) and I'd bet money on it, but SNAP stock is already in dire straits, so their incompetence is probably priced in.
Have you considered POP!_OS instead? It's based on Ubuntu 22.04, but it comes without snap by default [1].

As I mentioned before [2], snap is a hill I'm ready to die on, so after being a user for almost 15 years, I'm parting ways with Canonical. I respect their (likely commercial) decision to push forward with snap, but it's a compromise I'm not willing to accept, so I'm actively testing Debian and POP!_OS. I'm leaning towards the latter.

How does this product compare to aerogel, which is inorganic without minor radiation? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerogel

> Aerogels are produced by extracting the liquid component of a gel through supercritical drying or freeze-drying. This allows the liquid to be slowly dried off without causing the solid matrix in the gel to collapse from capillary action, as would happen with conventional evaporation. The first aerogels were produced from silica gels. Kistler's later work involved aerogels based on alumina, chromia and tin dioxide. Carbon aerogels were first developed in the late 1980s.[12]

Can aerogels be made with {formed,?} fungi-based production processes?
It would be pretty great to have a single formatter that just handles all the normally irrelevant files we have alongside code. Going for sandboxing the formatters is also great, though it seems like this is pretty weak if the plugins can just execute other formatters.

However, I would not want to load plugins from a remote in my CI, so I'd probably prefer local copies, which in turn requires some sort of package manager to keep those up to date. sigh

Resume quality IS actually pretty easy to pick up on. Some folks go totally overboard for non-design roles - I'd say there probably is a tasteful middle ground (ie, not super long with pages and pages - I've had folks do essentially powerpoints) and not just a mono font list in all caps (often some kind of auto resume spam mess). If you take the time to do a 1 or 2 page MAX clean resume, quasi responsive to posting, with a brief email note you are ahead of 60% of candidates already. With this hiring market it doesn't matter - employers will chase you anyways.
