Sadly, "commoditization" has become a meaningless word thrown around by those who claim intellectual descent from Marx, with a meaning something like "corruption".

Marx used the term (well, "commodification") with a very specific sociological and economic meaning, where some object with a natural "use value" (you can wear a coat to keep warm) is assigned a somewhat artificial "exchange value" (you can sell a coat for money) by the operation of our economic system. I can't for the life of me see how that applies to any of the usual complaints about love in the 21st century.
I don't get it. CPU graphs don't show power usage and they never have; they show how much time, percentually, a CPU was busy executing a certain type of task. You can never get a power estimate from a CPU usage graph at all. Even during normal operation purely on performance cores the clock speed will go up and down as the OS idles or new tasks get spawned. Whatever 10% is in your graph changes depending on the state of the system. This means the energy value in monitoring tools like these are bogus and should never have been trusted in the first place!

It's like trying to read the amount of gas left in the tank by looking at the odometer. Distance and fuel remaining are related, but there's no 1-to-1 connection going on there.

Different cores having different speeds is a difficult problem to solve for reporting CPU usage. The author seems to have missed the latest Intel CPUs which also have a performance/effeciency core setup, but I bet those suffer from the same "problem" as well.
Thank you for the link - I needed a good source for my internet arguments over sustainability.

Looking at the data it appears that we just need to drop beef and veal - totally doable I guess?

I didn't read the source in full, but I wonder how would such a shift affect fish populations?
A first step could be to fully resolve cross-posts, then only display if the original hasn't already been shown in the feed. Then display a dropdown of sorts on the original post to reach hidden crossposts.

A second one could be to hash all the things and hide images/videos/... already viewed.

Both these have fundamental downsides. The comments are often the most interesting thing, and if you plan on interacting with them in any capacity, the specific subreddit is important, so hiding that randomly might be undesirable.
This is surprising to hear. I have a similar background, albeit my GPA was not quite as good and I terminated by mathematics education with a master's. I work with lots of PhDs that have transitioned from other STEM fields.

Are you good at math competitions? Competitive programming is basically the same thing. This is how I transitioned in the field. If you can do these, interviews will be a breeze.
The objection I've usually heard is less about farm land being used for pasture instead of growing crops, and more about the amount of crops that have to be grown to feed the cattle... Growing corn to feed cows to feed humans is massively less efficient than growing corn to feed humans, or at least that's how the story goes.

Is there not an efficiency problem there that we could improve on?

(Not an expert in this area, genuinely curious.)
While I agree that someone working a 4-day week is more than 80% as productive as someone working 25% more hours, I don’t agree that a “4 day workweek usually means…without loss of compensation”. In many cases, you can’t possibly know what would have happened (if an entire company is 4-day schedule) or a company transitions to a 4-day workweek instead of paying raises or while paying smaller raises.

I can’t think of any place where the expected schedule for one employee is 32 hours and another, otherwise identical, employee is 40 hours and those two are paid the same.

To me, a 4-day workweek just means you have scheduled/expected work on 4 days and none scheduled/expected on the other 3.
Wow, same. Haven't lost since the 2009 Time poll.
If by "algorithm" you mean a fixed sequence of moves, then the (rusty math alert) I'd think the answer is "no", because then that algorithm would be an element of the Rubik's cube group, which you could apply compose repeatedly with any other element to get the identity. This would imply that the Rubik's cube group is cyclic, and I don't think it is (because it's non-Abelian).
Maybe this is the sign that I needed all along.

Generally in situations like this, unless otherwise specified, courts would fall back to a “reasonable” period of time or until Jump is notified that the offer is no longer valid.

> But please tell me again why do I need a buildsystem that needs to check if I have Fortran or if I'm running AIX under MIPS again?

If you need Fortran support you need to check for it. Ditto for AIX. Hardcoding assumptions is fragile.
I felt that. I'm still trying to rebuild that sense of wonder and purpose I had before college. I usually find it most when not having to worry about money so much.
This isn't that great. Plenty of people will be waiting to be "reached out" to. This is like "I'll call you" then they don't. Just be less of a weasel and tell people straight that you personally aren't that interested, which is no ones fault. If you think they'll take it badly give them some reassurance to cushion a hurt ego.
These companies are not even trying to re-imagine the shell, just the terminal you use to interact with it.
Well, IMO if You apply Game Theory on Your dating life, You'll ultimately end up dating a Game Theorist.

I get that it's possible, You definitely can "game" the current dating scene, but the question I keep asking myself is "why do that".

Personally, I value curiosity. If I see someone trying to game /optimize their dating profiles, it's a huge turn off for me simply because it wipes out a lot of possibilities and unknowns. All of the sudden, the "oh, hey stranger who seems interesting for me because of X" turns into "oh, hey someone who optimized their profile for X".

PS Corollary to that goes "honesty". I find it almost impossible to be curious about someone who I know is either lying, or "presenting a way too curated version of truth".

I’m sorry you are struggling to get a job :( been there, it sucks!!

There are two things I would tell you:

1. Skip the recruiters! In tech I’ve come across some amazing and helpful recruiters, but that is a tiny minority. I used to hear the word “networking” and the sole concept was frightening to me, but at the end of the day all it means is making connections in whatever way you find comfortable for you. My current job came through a conversation in the golang slack. And I’ve had a few offers from just being part of meetups, in person and virtual. It is a completely different story when your first contact with a company is with a manager or through a referral. In such cases the recruiter job is not really to “judge” you but to facilitate you getting to know the company and the company getting to know you!

2. Show, don’t tell. Instead of telling people what you know, show them instead! A few blog posts that I’m not too proud about have had a pretty big impact on job conversations, and as a bonus it lets you know the level that a hiring manager might have in you. Make a few shiny things, at the end of the day, the people hiring are human and are attracted to shiny things thus, check out one or two cools projects in dribbble.com (with 3 b’s) and implement them. If you can have them hosted somewhere so people can click on them even better!

One last thing, which I want to say as sensibly as I can. Confidence is something hard to fake and realizing that very few companies, if any, simply can’t operate without somebody with your skills, your perspective starts changing from “somebody give me a job” to “are you (X company) good enough for me”. Is not about being a conceited jerk, but companies compete for people that seem confident, processes are expedited or even skipped if the individual is comparing companies/offers, etc.
All I’m saying is, know that your skills are very valuable and in high demand and let that knowledge and conviction be conveyed in your conversation. Again, is not about being a jerk, but neither a push-over.

Best of luck on the search. My email is in my profile if you wanna continue the convo :)

The Glossary of Happiness (2016)
Your point on talent/skill development rings so true with me! At my company they created this required training course for all SE1 and SE2 level positions. I'd be completely ok with this, except for the fact that the few workshops I've attended so far have been hastily put together by people with maybe a half year more experience than me. In addition to this, they expect me to dedicate 4 hours a week to these courses. In my opinion, a well developed workshop should have very condensed, focused information that's targeted at specific goals. Instead what I'm getting is an engineer who studied some AWS CDK library for a few months, than threw together a PowerPoint in a couple hours teaching me stuff that has no clearly defined outcome :pain:

When I was in my early 20's this was a challenge for me, but I worked at it. Now, I am 40 and it is effortless. There is something to be said for having some well crafted stories, but I think that's a lesser part of it. The bigger thing is being able to LISTEN so you can find common ground and build rapport.

Getting into the sales side in my career was the first time I began to realize how important this was. But nothing changed me like working for a political campaign. I did a large amount of door-to-door, street canvasing and phone banking. I had thousands and thousands of conversations. It was hard, but could be really satisfying if you could turn an initially unpleasant interaction into one where you both walked away smiling.

I would highly recommend this type of volunteer work to help a cause you're passionate about. It was a great experience for me and it helped me develop so many different social skills.
Go is surprisingly good in this role. Super easy cross compilation, good platform support, and easy distribution means that it's very easy to get the tool where you need it. For a lot of file munging, Go is serviceable.
It's important to note that bonds are barely inverted: https://www.marketwatch.com/investing/bond/tmubmusd10y?count...

But also way way way up.

>“Six months ago the narrative was that inflation was transitory,” says J.P. Morgan’s Lear. “That narrative has left the market. People no longer believe inflation is going to come down quickly.”

Lies like this 'inflation is transitory' buys people time to exit their positions at low cost. It's literally criminal to allow market manipulation like this but I guarantee nobody will ever get punished.

>It’s that the surge in inflation and economic growth came after the Fed had put in place exceptionally low interest rates to support the economy during the recession. The federal funds rate was at zero and the central bank had purchased more than $4 trillion worth of bonds, keeping market yields artificially low.

Of which they haven't sold. https://tradingeconomics.com/united-states/central-bank-bala...

They bought bonds keeping it artificially low, but also bought them low. Which means that 'balance' isn't a balance. Those are all negative yielding. That $4 trillion in liabilities and $4 trillion in printed money which is already considered a liability.

That is only part of the inflation. It's locked in, the fed can't sell these bonds, they'll hold onto those until maturity.

Why do this? It prevent housing and car markets from melting down. The wealth of your country is at stake.

Then again weird how GM, Ford, and Tesla are all profitable despite empty car lots and nobody buying cars because you're at home in lockdown. Like as if they saw all this coming eh?
If we reframe this into societal terms, so that this doesn't get dragged into a "not all men want that" argument, why is it that most modern societies had/has rigid, monogamous family units? There are stereotypes for both promiscuous men and women, and clearly there's some degree of promiscuity in both genders. But the (vast?) majority of societies also adopted monogamous family units for most social classes. If men and women are promiscuous by nature, which forces led to the family unit in modern societies? Or perhaps that's just an illusion? How common was it to have a paramour anyway?

Around that salary is getting pretty normal for big companies, even if they are not 'tech'. I think it's a combination of inflation, lack of competent supply, and old school companies realizing their dependence on technology.

Youtube is extremely slow, and it can only play back 360p or lower video smoothly. There is no hardware h.264 acceleration. “New” Reddit is also very slow. But old Reddit loads fine. Hacker news is very fast, loads as quickly as a modern computer.

> In my experience, the amount of prep time you need is at least half of what the length of the session is

In my experience, you can run an entire session on basically nothing. Half the time I make things up on the spot (and keep track of them so they’ll still be the same when players return), but most of the time the players make the story.

It’s especially helpful when they’re discussing what they’re thinking the reason for something is between themselves, because one of those is pretty much always a good one (even if they settle on a different explanation afterwards xD).
> I'm confused when people preach Zig and then safety in the same sentence.

Zig enforces correctness much more than C or C++ does (e.g. no implicit 'lossy' conversions, much stricter and enforced error handling, no implicit null, etc.), so it's completely fine to say that Zig is much safer than C or C++.

The main difference between Zig and Rust is the borrow checker, but a lot of memory corruption issues in C and C++ are "second order effects" of sloppy code which would be caught in Zig either at compile or runtime.
I think 4 days at 10 hours is the worst possible arrangement for both employer and employee.

Structural regular expressions awk as described here: http://doc.cat-v.org/bell_labs/structural_regexps/se.pdf But maybe it is not that small...

I would like to have a simple app that would let me define a time, a beep sound and a pattern. So I could have a one beep timer [1] and an interval timer [2]. I use those for exercise, but I'm not entirely satisfied. Bonus points if the beep sound could be configurable to notification sounds, sfxr UI [3] (maybe it could be be another simple application) and speech synthesizer.

Something that would crawl GitHub and look for Android play store links in READMEs, then it would offer a search over repository name, description and the README. I would use this first to search for Android apps. I know about F-Droid, but I'm lazy and there are things in the play store that are not in F-Droid. Also it would be easier for me to find apps to recommend to my family/friends, who will not install F-Droid.

[1] https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.thrvg.beep... - like this, but without this introductory screen and single button to reset and restart the timer

[2] https://greggman.github.io/interval-timer/ - I use this, but I would just want to set a single parameter: time between beeps and let it play in a loop until I stop

Hi!

Agree on Venmo/Amazon deal. I guess they had to announce something positive on the earnings call, and this partnership was the only thing they had in their pocket.

You raised a good point on innovation! I would add that PayPal stopped innovating long time ago, and all their innovations came through acquisitions (including Braintree and Venmo).

They are still a big and a profitable company, but they are clearly struggling right now.

Not the person you asked to, but heavy Fedora and Thinkpad user here. I know that already as of Fedora 33, for many users, the fingerprint reader worked out of the box with the T490.

It seems the T490 can have different models of fingerprint reader and maybe
not all are supported.

You should start by identifying your model with something like this

sudo lsusb or # lsusb

then look for the details of the line corresponding to the fingerprint reader model.

I think I started with google 'study ignore tantrum' because I had seem some studies on it before.

From there I hit up pubmed and google searches (ex. site:researchgate.net) based on terms, references, and authors from the initial studies I found.

> maybe the most that I do is recompiling ffmpeg a few times a day, so it might just be a result of my usage patterns?

Maybe. If you compile in short bursts it's probably not going to affect you as much. With 4K screens and compiling a tiny bit of Rust, it starts being noticeable rather quick.

I did notice that newer kernel versions do behave a bit better, but still require a bit of help to keep consistent performance plugged in.
I agree but most developers I know use a laptop purely as a desktop machine with a mouse / external trackpad and keyboard attached to it. It might not be as big of a selling point as you make it to be for many people.
I prefer the trackpoint honestly. I get many people don't like it, but for me the trackpad is a nuisance and I have it disabled.

The reason is that I almost never use my laptop on a table, and the trackpoint makes it more comfortable, as you don't have to move your hand between the keyboard and down so much.

I guess is an adquired taste, but it's one of these things that keep me in thinkpads.

> personal responsibility (view that they are caused by personal choices)

I have interpreted and see personal responsibility as the affected person being responsible for managing the issues. Not as the issues being caused by themselves. E.g., it is not your fault you have it, you did not caused it, but you are responsible for learning strategies or taking drugs to manage issue to the possible extend.
I've been a Thinkpad user for the last 15 years.

The body is extremely sturdy along with the hinges.

It's not plastic - it's magnesium alloy. They are not flimsy or cheap.

Have you ever used a trackpoint? It's extremely ergonomic and much better than a trackpad. It requires a bit of time to get used to it - but it's totally worth the time investment.

And please don't make comments like 'Grandfather's laptop'. Just because something is old doesn't mean it's not good.

Look up Richard Sapper - the person who designed the IBM Thinkpad - a lot of brilliant design thinking went into this.

If something is highly functional, durable and can be easily repaired - that's beautiful. Aesthetically the Thinkpads are beautiful as well - an understated beauty vs the 'look at me, look at me - I'm shiny and thin'.
