Oh! To have played this on a machine with a double digit clockspeed!

I loved my Amiga 500, and spent many hours on F-19/F-117, but crikey 7.little MHz was not a lot to play with (although quite enough for the super-fast, fun but otherwise inscrutable ArmourGeddon...).
With quarterly losses of $700m they're not going to last long. My take is that having an extremely luxury priced "nice-to-have" product that you need the mainstream to buy, in a financial downturn market, is going to suck. There are probably lots of other tech companies in the same boat?
Far too many

- Thinkpad workstation laptop provided by work

- One desktop running Windows 11 (gaming/development)

- One laptop dual booting Windows 11 and Fedora (gaming/development)

- Surface Laptop Studio running Windows 11 (content consumption, light development)

- Surface Pro X (previous content consumption device. I'll sell it "someday")

- Samsung Galaxy Tab 7+ (mobile gaming, content consumption)

I also compulsively switch out my laptops/tablets on a yearly basis...I have a problem.
I think the parent is referring to the saying "the market can remain irrational longer than you can remain solvent". Meaning that the market can remain irrational for arbitrary periods of time, not infinite. It'll eventually converge, but it's a question of how long.

Actually yes I do.

Feel very strongly that the tech work from home movement is shining a light on something they don’t want a light shined on. They should be vehemently making cases that teams need to be in offices together and that “face to face is best” to keep their jobs in their citadel.
I've noticed the same behavior.

Imitation can only get you so far. Java is changing, and in many cases for the better, by absorbing features from other languages. However, I still think several other languages do a better job curating features to fit a niche.

That said, Loom appears to be a serious upgrade for JVM languages. Now, if startup could get an order of magnitude faster...

I have a custom desktop PC and a Macbook Air that I actually use for work. Mostly the Macbook.

In terms of just tinkering during my spare time, I have a small HP server, about half a dozen ThinkPads (all in varying states of disrepair but working), a small desktop PC I never use, a Macbook Pro from forever ago that probably still works, and that's about it?

Hadn't thought of that one. If domestic violence is between young brothers, this may be useful.
Smells can be good too, like freshly cut cedar wood or rain on asphalt. It is interesting that you first go to the terrible stinky smells of shoveling shit and that it sparks such a visceral response. Of course in this scenario, we are referring to less desirable smells, but you really took it to the next level!

The four companies purportedly provide cloud computing and investment services and two of them listed 24 employees each; however the address of all four businesses is a home in an affluent South Bay suburb.

I always have different python versions on system level (`$ sudo apt install python3.7 python3.8 python3.9 python3.10`) and use virtualenv to manage versions for each project (`$ virtualenv env -p python3.9`), and that has served me well for years. Could someone tell me why pyenv is superior?

I wouldn't necessarily say x265 bad. Rather, they simply haven't been taking it to the extreme levels of optimization that the x264 devs took x264. [1]

Up until the end of development, x264 was hyper focused on getting the best possible subjective quality with the smallest possible bitrate. To date, the x264 CRF metrics are (IMO) unparalleled in consistency. With other codecs a similar CRF mode is simply, well, shit. I can't just set stuff to "CRF 20" and expect the output to hit roughly the same level of quality. VP9, in particular, is terrible with this. In VP9 CRF is more closely related to the bitrate than the actual quality of the scenes being encoded.

To be clear, even with these critiques you SHOULD choose x265, vp9, or AV1 over x264 for your encoding choices. They have better specs that allow for better compression. However, they are also leaving a lot on the table for what they COULD do.

I current do VP9 + vmaf on each scene to set a CRF value (using my own thing similar to AV1AN). That gives good consistent results at minimal bitrates. It's just a little terrible (IMO) that I have to do so much work that the encoder should theoretically be able to do better.

It’s of course very complicated, but the hypothesis is not implausible. A recent example is Twitter. Musk spent a ton of money to buy it, which will probably improve the service, while Musk himself doesn’t gain much physical resources in the exchange. (If he succeeds in fixing Twitter up, he would get a status boost, but that is counterbalanced by the deboost he’d get if he fails.)

- Three desktops: a 2017 Intel iMac; and, on the floor and basically ignored, a 2005 Windows XP eMachines PC (took over from son-in-law, who no longer wanted it, because all I had at the time was even older and lamer) and a 2001 Windows XP HP (as I was saying).

- Two laptops: a now-unsupported 2015 Toshiba Chromebook and a molasses-slow, all-but-dead-in-the-water 2013–2014 HP Pavilion that originally ran Windows 8.0 (!) but was on Windows 10 before I unsuccessfully tried putting one of several other OSs on it.

- Two tablets: a 2016 iPad Pro and a 2016 (?) Amazon Kindle something-or-other that I got for virtually nothing out of sheer curiosity and almost never touch.

- Three phones: my 2017 iPhone X, my wife's 2019 iPhone X, and a 2014-vintage iPhone 6 that I most recently used only for work-required/work-app logins before I retired.

Has cancelling ever worked outside of very small communities? The only time I hear about that impact is when the target person cares / reacts in any way. The closest case of real impact I can think of is jkr who keeps pushing her bs and that causes more and more people to not give her money, but that's still not even close to actual cancelling.
What feedback mechanism would you use to filter the crap? There is no longer an incentive for users to down-vote (assuming you managed to even get that data). And such a search engine needs a literal army of users providing signal to evaluate the quality of content as it is released.

Probably going to catch hate for this, but the Python package/environment management debacle is one of the things that causes me to avoid the language in my own personal projects.

All of the following are real tools for Python package/environment management: virtualenv; pipenv; venv; pyenv; poetry; pyenv-virtualenv; and pip-tools. There are probably more. Which one is "best" varies by who you ask and with time. If you do a bunch of Python work, you'll probably need most of them installed since different projects use different tools.

The messiness of the whole situation just takes the fun out of it for me. I don't hate Python, but when I code in my free time, I'd simply prefer to use a language that doesn't have those problems.
Exactly the problem I've run into on more than one occasion. And the erlang libs I'm referencing have almost zero documentation, so it really means "RTFC" which then is painful :D

The question in that thread, and this later thread,[1] is how to know which keys are valid to sign a package.

For example: I go to release a new version and I've lost my private key, so I roll a new one -- this will happen often across npm's 1.3 million packages. Do I then ... log in with my email and update the private key on my account and go about my business? What process does npm use to make sure my new key is valid? Can a person with control over my email address fake that process? How are key rotations communicated to people updating packages -- as an almost-always-false-positive red flag, or not at all, or some useful amount in between? If you don't get this part of the design right -- and no one suggests how to in those threads -- then you're just doing hashes with worse UX. And the more you look at it, the more you might start to think (as the npm devs seem to) that npm account security is the linchpin of the whole thing rather than signing.

It's not just npm; that thread includes a PyPI core dev chipping in with the same view: "Lots of language repositories have implemented (a) [signing] and punted on (b) and (c) [some way to know which keys to trust] and essentially gained nothing. It's my belief that if npm does (a) without a solution for (b) and (c) they'll have gained nothing as well." It also has a link from a Homebrew issue thread deciding not to do signatures for the same reason -- they'd convey a false expectation without a solution for key verification.[2]

Last I checked, pyenv was dependent on absolute paths that can't change. This makes it very difficult to use with things like CI/CD pipelines that copy repos into temporary directories. There used to be a "--relocatable" switch, but it's gone now.

Edit: Ah, yep, somehow read this as virtualenv.
Yeah. I am going through this right now. And they have no interest in increasing productivity. Instead of looking at slow processes that can be improved, management wants to add more process to get "better" estimates. These estimates will fall apart quickly because of constant scope changes. It's really infuriating. I understand that there is a need for budgeting and stuff but I also know the only way to get things done is by doing them. No amount of estimation helps if your processes are inefficient.
USDT will only unpeg if many people simultaneously try to convert USDT to dollars at Tether.

I want to keep the number low (I don't like e-waste):

Laptops:

- Macbook Pro (2021), M1, 16Go: my only personal machine. I play video games using services like Shadow or GeForce Now, I want my setup to be small.

- My work laptop, employer issued.

Servers:

- 1st gen Surface Book: currently works as a home server, used to be my student laptop, soon to be retired with...

- Core i7 3700 (something like that), 16Go DDR3: an old machine I got for free yesterday, than I will put in a small mini-ITX case to work as a full-time home server (mainly storage). It will end up at the bottom of a small shelf, and needs to be completely silent.

My servers all run NixOS.
Unpopular opinion: tools other than virtualenv are for people who do not understand how virtualenv works.
On the other hand: people who do understand how virtualenv works, know it very well we: don’t need the other tools than virtualenv.

And yet I find myself wanting an additional (smaller) gaming PC for travel / LAN parties, and a Mac Mini as the Mac version of my NUC for messing around with, and maybe a file server at some point.

And yet I also would love to just be able to have one single travel friendly laptop running Linux that I could work and game on.

I'm looking to get positions in Crowdstrike, ZScaler, Snowflake and Palantir if I can find good entry points. All have been too high to justify for the past couple of years.

I'm pretty excited for it. I encoded my blog's images to AVIF a year or two ago, and redid them a few weeks ago. (I use <picture> to allow browsers to choose which format to get.)

JPEG XL looks pretty good, too, but current browser support is a flag in Chrome. I wonder if they can squeeze better quality out of low filesizes (0.3~0.6 bits per pixel) to compete better with AVIF.
No. We must move fast, break things, and trust the network (because it's reliable and all that thing).

Implementing your good code with no dependencies is heresy! It's a relic of the past.

</rant>.

On a serious note, you can implement a lot of things with a standard library of any language, and only time consuming machinery should be incorporated as external dependencies, but somebody didn't get the memo, I guess.

I make backends for online games.

The reason I have so much power is that I spin up many multiples of datacenters to test failure modes among components, it's also nice to be able to run full-fat gameservers.

Could do it in the cloud but it ends up taking longer, is harder to automate and winds up being much more expensive very quickly.
So what’s the actual problem? You can install multiple python versions and use the correct one when creating the venv.

You would use ranking algorithms meaning you should crawl, scrape and analyse YouTube videos which would make YouTube probably unhappy.
Nim is closer to become Go killer with it's capability to target both native and JS. There are multiple async implementations offered as packages, since async is not part of the language. SPAs frameworks and bindings of popular libraries like nodejs. Databases and web frameworks, ORMs and migration tools. Multithreaded could obviously be improved in order to have better servers. But it's already looking promising.

For anybody without any specific issues like yours, surely this effect would be hardly observable? They administered 2 g/kg every day for four weeks, which is absolutely massive, whereas most people eating a lot of fish might be eating at most 0.05 g/kg of EPA/DHA, and that would probably only be a couple of days days a week… I take “high strength” fish oil supplements (for an autoimmune condition), and that only has 900 mg of triglycerides per capsule (1.5g of fish oil), which for me is 0.01 g/kg. I usually take two, except on days I eat salmon, when I only have one.
I have done it a lot for around a year, but i think than the block list is very limited, because after a will the same "blocked" channels come back again in the list. I have now stopped to use this fake feature. I am sure of it because i regularly block official news or music channels, but they appear again anyway after a wile.

It's the same for the "not interested" feature. I have stop to tell them, when asked, why i am not interested (mainly because i have already see the video). The same already "not interested" videos, already viewed and already liked videos show up again after a wile anyway...
