In my case, I'm able to express my opinions better while writing than talking. I had vocal and speech defects in childhood that made me a hesitant talker. Though they improved over the years, the mental inhibitions have persisted.

Another (more recent) reason for my multiple personae is that I hold some unwelcome views about politics, society, religion etc. They can result in actual physical harm or state intimidation where I live.

So not only do I have different personae in real life and virtual, but I have multiple virtual personae too for different interest areas. The anonymous ones are where I'm most open and honest.
Yeah and even an outdated atom box with a decent SSD way outperforms a pi when running something like Home Assistant. While using about the same power (5W or so).

It's a much better option if you don't need the GPIOs that the pi offers (I do so I do use one, but with an SSD over USB)
I came up with a fun game that’s along the line of your snarky movie game. I call it Mixed Up Movies, where you have to create a movie title and description that combines two separate movies into one. You write the description and provide the real actors and the other folks have to guess the name of the movie.

For instance:

Hilarity ensues when a mild-mannered suburban family adopts a troubled San Francisco homicide detective.

Clint Eastwood, John Lithgow, and Margaret Langrick star in?

Dirty Harry and The Hendersons

Or:

A retired English butler reminiscences about his time in service to a Lord’s estate while also trying to convince his fellow townsfolk that recently arrived aliens come in peace.

Keanu Reeves and Anthony Hopkins star in?

The Remains of the Day the Earth Stood Still.

Or:

The boss of a Los Angeles crime syndicate enlists the help of a top British Spy to help recover a stolen briefcase by going undercover at an exclusive high-stakes poker game.

Ving Rames, Daniel Craig, and Samuel L Jackson star in?

The switch to little bitty teeny tiny speakers just makes me sad. I miss my towers with multiple drivers and crossovers accordingly.
Powerline networking is a great example of where review sites totally fall down; it's amazing in most cases, providing great bandwidth and very low jitter and packet loss. Then for no reason*, it will absolutely suck for some people. The only way to find these kinds of problems is to survey every situation and test each product in all of them, which is clearly impossible.

People will hear this and go, "aha! Crowd sourcing!" The issue with that is that with modern technology the problem is overwhelmingly user error (or to be generous, perhaps UX). So you will spend essentially all your time chasing down people who don't know how to charge their product, or have their powerline adapter hooked up upstream of a UPS, etc

Your wiring is to blame. Maybe some staple missed and nicked the wire, maybe you have something leaking EMI, maybe you just have dirty power.
Perhaps I'm just too cynical, but I have no trouble thinking that there will be an "Office Space, but for remote work" in due time. Power tripping managers aren't going to just disappear, so they will have to adapt and find new ways to trip. The details will change but the basic character of the relationship will be the same for many people.

For example, we're already seeing spyware being a condition for some remote workers. Whether that continues I don't know, but it shows the point I think.
I'm planning to buy a house and making it "smart". Does anyone know any resource that can guide me?

Something like garage door that opens with a tap on my phone, music that follows me room to room, door camera that can be viewed from TV ("alt-tab" while watching Netflix), lights controlled by voice, smart mirrors.

Can be a blog, a forum, or a book, but it should be holistic—I don't want it to end up like a Goldberg machine.
I wish y'all would own the terraform provider directly. It seems to have lagged behind.
The difference is that this isn't built by calendly.
And when it doesn’t, will you apologize for calling everyone else a fanboy because they don’t buy into your excuses?

Go compare the perf/power curves of the alder-lake cores (both P/E) versus the last-gen Apple cores from TSMC n7+. TSMC n7+ is roughly comparable to Intel 10nm ESF in transistor performance, so it is a fair comparison.

Do your research then get back to me about how the process is entirely responsible for every perf/power difference and we (the silicon design teams) are just identical robots doing the same thing across the board in every company.

I do like how you claim there is no design magic sauce, but then Apple will lose big when Intel/AMD come out with their 5nm equivalents, as in, they found some magic sauce? WTF?
Well, yes - he's saying "regex is not appropriate for parsing html", and I'm saying "regex is faster than parsing html" - they're not contradictory statements, and both are true :)

To be clear, I'm not talking about building a syntax tree or a way to generically extract elements based on a CSS path selector. I'm saying if you're only interested in a couple of data points in a 3 MB HTML document, and you're sure they're always between some other specific text or even tags, then it's more efficient to use a simple regex than it is to parse the entire thing, which is computationally expensive when running over a large number of large files.
Two or three. I couldn't get file transfers to work. It was a little while ago.
"computation" is only equivalent when it's calculative, ie., when the algorithm in question is merely computing some number.

The reason the LCD screen displays some output isn't because the electrical switches have some numerical state, its because they have some electrical state.

The sense in which "computer" describes any system is trivial, for there to be any empirical content to computational language, we need an empirical model of the relevant algorithms the computer is performing.

My kettle is also a computer: water is its state, boiling is the "computational process", and its change of state is the "number being computed".

But it is only a kettle because that "calculation" which computes a number is a magnitude which is implemented by the kinetic state of the water.

The sense in which "computers are equivalent" is *empirically empty*. There is no scientific content to this; it is merely a statement of pure mathematics. To use this language, of pure discrete mathematics, as-if it is informative about empirical systems *is pseudo-science*.

One may as well say the brain is a geometrical system which is extended in Euclidean space, and we know topologically, that all such systems are geometrically equivalent.

The world science studies (unlike that of pure mathematics), is extended in space and time, and has properties (eg., charge, mass, etc.). The number "34029348309384398" is only a frame of a video game when it names (charge, mass, extention, duration...) in a highly particular manner.

Unless you have an algorithm in mind, and a model which says how its numerical content corresponds to physical properties, you arent saying anything empirical at all.
It's interesting, on the one hand I hate the lack of quality and lack of pride people take in their work, BUT on the other hand the majority of my income comes from fixing other peoples bugs.

If other people could code properly I'd be out of a job.
OK, that `(*container[fish])(t).size())` idiom is um non-obvious. Somebody needs to write a nice simple bloggy step-by-step walk through all these gyrations.
> It says right on the product page what connectivity the device supports.

I don't really see anything there beyond "bluetooth support", and it seems to me that expecting very common systems such as macOS and Windows would work is pretty reasonable.
What will change, as all similar swings in workplace attitude have shown, is that the are unforeseen costs.

Additionaly, study after study has shown that non-verbal communication between people is an enormous part of effective communication. Argue all you want, too many studies, turn all over the weekend she the same thing. And the I've thing that video conferencing does is cripple that comm channel.

I love my partial remote work schedule, and love that it exists. But I'll never assume it's the "best" way, it that it doesn't have unforseen costs to me and my coworkers
So is there evidence that that is true? I ask because it seems that good engineering can make up for complexity at least sometimes. I remember when the 2nd gen Prius came out in the US (the 2nd version was the first to reach here) my friends and I expected it to be an unreliable mess. "It has both a gas and an electric propulsion system - no way that's going to work for long!"

But as we all know it was not just reliable, it was more reliable than most of the rest of the "simpler" Toyotas.

So are we really seeing declining reliability across the board?
The missing key concept here is "regulatory capture". In many industries, companies get enough money and power that they can afford to rewrite the laws to lock themselves in and put up a big barrier to entry to keep competition out.

"How many m^2 of algae is required to equal a m^2 of solar?"

Some years ago, the efficency was at around 1 % vs. 20% with solar panels, meaning you would need 20× the space, meaning only dessert areas and big scale production worth it. And since no one did it big scale yet, means it is economically not worth it yet.

But the cost of further algae itself are zero, which makes the idea attractive in theory. Like I said, there is a breakthrough required in efficency, or some cheap big scale production/deployment system.
I got my first PC around 1997. It was a good machine for the time: 32 MB with a 200 MHz MMX pentium, it got a S3 graphics card with 2MB of video memory and had a modem, cd-rom and a sound card. The sound card was an Aztech Labs aAZTR2316. It came with drivers for windows and DOS.

I soon discovered that "compatible with soundblaster" was not the same thing as "100% compatible with soundblaster". To get my sound card working as a soundblaster, I had to load its drivers. They worked but were somewhat buggy and required TSR's all the time. It some memory and, depending on the game, the game just refused to run with such drivers loaded. I never got to run battle chess with sound because of that.

Since I had seen some "real computers" running UNIX I soon wanted to run linux on my PC. On linux I could play CD with the cd-rom but the drivers for my aztr2316 was only merged in 2007. By that time I had already bought a more compatible computer. I learned to envy my friends who had Creative Labs Soundblaster's and US Robotics real modems.

It had some upgrades. Increased the RAM to 64 MB, replaced to modem with a NE2000 compatible network card, added CD recorder combo, I even got 2 floppy drives and 2 hard disks. The machine was almost fully stuffed internally. Nevertheless, It got replaced and I never heard a single tone from its sound card on linux.

Years later I tried to turn on the computer again so I could test the drivers for the sound card. I never completed POST complaining about "parity error". I could have tried other memory chips, but I just gave up on my first machine. Let her rest.
The maximum is 10 minutes these days, and multipart videos are common. This is approximately the length of the individual videos in Coursera, eg Andrew Ng’s course on machine learning.

I was in a computer science theory class at a prestigious university, and a number of otherwise extremely intelligent CS majors had a curious difficulty understanding the Pumping Lemma. They would ask the teacher to explain it. This happened a few times since attendance wasn’t mandatory and not everyone was present.

The resulting explanation from the instructor would absolutely fit into a three minute TikTok, plus it would be rewatchable. Unfortunately, there’s no video there that explains it today, but that could be remedied.
I know you think that was a dig, but all your comment did was expose how little you know about engineering management. Unless you are trying to infer that there are 0 "great" eng managers in existence.

I wonder if we’ll see more of a movement towards virtual threads Java Loom style where cheap threads in the language and cheap cores on the cpu will combine to create a programming style where you’ll just dispatch little worklets all over the place without worry about “is this a large enough amount of work to justify a thread” the way we do now. I also wonder if that will cause a trend towards optimizing startup latency in both language threads and the efficiency cores.
> 10200K is actively cooled, unlimited beast of its generation

Curious what you meant here since that part doesnt exist, and if it did it would be near the bottom of the stack for the generation (101xx and 103xx are the low core count i3 and i5 parts).
And the Rust ecosystem has good tooling for working with llvm already since it uses llvm itself.

Because it’s forced on everyone as a default.

UEFI and TPM is great to detect firmware and OS tampering. It’s a real concern for anyone working on Windows.

The problems are intent and unexpected consequences, which are the problems created by requiring TPM.

For example, either the trusted third party must be infallible or what happens on tampering detection must be reasonable.

If something goes wrong with the remote attestation, what am I prevented from doing?

It also adds pressure to increase DRM, which the average paying-user would find extremely punishing (think Blu-ray discs).

My friends had their 2nd vaccinations about 4 - 5 months ago, I had my 3rd just two weeks before a trip we went to. We all got the virus, my symptoms just started 24h later than theirs. I'd say we all got equally ill as well.
Thanks for letting me know. We can prioritize that.

We took over most of the open source SDKs last year and then all of a sudden felt the burden of 5 new codebases so we cooled it for a bit.

This year we have been rolling out deeper SDKs with auto provisioning that in some cases might eliminate the need for terraform - Eg k8s, sidekiq, airflow and celery

I think people (here and below) are getting hung up on definite articles, but Zipf's Law makes no such observation. It says only that a word's frequency in a natural language corpus tends to be in inverse proportion to its rank in a frequency table.

In English, the most frequent words are articles, but the general observation about word frequency holds across languages (whether those languages have articles or not).

Seems like a really silly statement to me.

I don't see it as particularly ironic. It's more recognizing that violence is fundamentally part of being alive. We can look to nature and history for plentiful examples. Violence, human or otherwise, can't ever be eliminated, so the only alternative is to harness it. Various civilizations have been more or less successful at this. Without the threat of violence, the law itself is nothing more than a set of polite suggestions.

It can’t be done — that’s the problem. Anybody who thinks the “answer” to climate change is anything but sweeping changes to the Western way of living is sadly mistaken. Either it happens through choice before things get too awful or by necessity when things get more awful than anyone alive today is willing to imagine.

You can stick your head in the sand and think “boy this rock dust will definitely do the trick…” or you can come to terms with the truth. Climate change is going to deliver suffering whether we mitigate it or not.

I have no guilt. I don’t have kids, I live in a small apartment. I don’t eat meat. I don’t drive. I don’t go on airplanes. Even that isn’t enough, but I sleep fine.

Unsolicited advice is generally offensive. If they wanted your advice on how to fix their problems they would ask you. If they don't and you go ahead anyway then you imply that you are superior to them and just come off as obnoxious.
