Well, sure that'd be nice, but it would add quite a lot of cost. High current carrying connectors are not free.

You can buy a nice AMD Ryzen motherboard for like $80 retail (Newegg shows $59 is where new unopened ones start). Normal electronics supply chain and shipping margins means it cost roughly half that to manufacture it. So on a $40 bill of materials and labor cost if you add even just $1 to make something better/modular/whatever then you're adding a significant amount in terms of percentage cost increase.

As much as reducing electronics waste is a worthy goal, the economics of it aren't aligned quite yet in today's world.

Totally, the Zig stuff has me super excited. I've wanted to see what DOD would do in a compiler for a long time. Also going composition in a way that doesn't require classes in the traditional sense can allow easier transformation of how various types of data are processed. For me that might be the most exciting part of DOD.
It's good to hear that the mandatory training actually did some good. It's so easy to imagine that people like that react negatively to the training, and do the opposite out of sheer spite. At least they've heard it, so perhaps it sinks in eventually. And at the very least, they can't deny that they've been told what's expected of them.
> Red isn't a consumer company. How are they anti-consumer?

Really?

I think you know like everyone else here what consumer means in this context, it's not literally about consuming food, or the disease known as consumption, and that entities that aren't individual consumers in the nightly news sense of the word are called 'consumers' as well.

In this instance semantics isn't insightful.
Thanks for the words. Can't move due to custody arrangements, unfortunately. I dream of simply leaving it all behind, but I'm not willing to lose my kids so I endure for their sake.
I'll raise my hand as a data point. MIT, about 20 years out. It still seems to carry significant weight. I don't even work in the field I studied, so it's definitely not about any particular material I may have learned there. My conjecture is that association with the MIT brand implies that I must be a sharp cookie and someone worth paying attention to.
I completely agree. stopPropagation() should be used only as a last resort. I have removed a lot of unneeded use cases with this task, but because of the size of our codebase, many still remain. But at least now they include a comment as to why they exist :)

With enums/static variables are you referring to custom events or also DOM events? For custom-based events we use that approach but not for DOM events. If you do use it for DOM events, I'm curious to know more about it. Thank you!
This, on top of the covid shitshow in China, will stifle the Chinese economy for decades. They might even drop to #3.

Scalping bad, arbitrage good.
Reminds me of when I started gaming there was a cRPG series called the 'gold box' - pools of radiance, curse of the azure bonds, secret of the silver swords, etc.

The first of these was in CGA (I guess corresponding to CMYK?) which was I think '4-bit'. Then 'Curse' was EGA and Silver Blades was VGA.

Ok on looking these up, its way more complicated than that. Still, those colours are a nostalgia trip...
Not bitcoin. You are talking about altcoins or "cryptos" which are all scams.

Obviously bitcoin is not resistant to your own stupidity. If you send your bitcoin to a scammer, it's your own fault. However, if you're careful and manage your security well, it is impossible to confiscate.
This discussion is, at least it seems, mostly about multiple heterogenous consumers; not homogenous consumers/replicas/horizontal scaling. So, if Slack sends a queue message for every DM that's sent, the difference between having 1 consumer that updates the database and 1 consumer that sends a push notification, versus having 2 consumers that both only update the database.

The idea of having multiple homogenous consumers shouldn't be controversial; that's just horizontal scaling. And, well, at least until a few hours ago I also would have said that the idea of having multiple heterogenous consumers is also uncontroversially bad. But I guess everyone has "their way" of doing things.

Its also important to note that there's a third situation I see somewhat often: maybe call it homogenous delegated consumers, whereby you've got messages like '{"type":"SendDM", "content": {}}'. Or maybe: '{"type":"SendDM", "action": "UpdateDB", "content":{}}'. The consumers are still homogenous, they all run the same code, but they may internally delegate the message to do different things depending on enums within the message. This is pretty ok; its different because at least you'd never have a consumer hit message and be like "I don't want this take it back".

Though I'd caution against it; just understand that its something of a 'hack' to make one queue act like N queues, and that's ok if you're small and have a good grasp on the problem domain. The big issue it will inevitably run into is: some queue message "kinds" will take a lot longer to process than others; and so if you're e.g. overloading a queue to handle both a simple email send and a much more complex asynchronous database update, you'll inevitably get delayed emails. Absolutely inevitable. But, it can work for a time.
And given that most of "DC" is actually just Arlington - this cost increase is going to have a minimal effect on heavy weight cars... especially since I'd assume a higher proportion of people owning these cars would be frou-frou suburbanites that likely don't reside in DC proper anyways.
Because anti-competition is anti-consumer.

isn't the whole basis of capitalism that capital drives competition which drives innovation and consumerism?
> Emails will not come from the domain of the company that sent them and companies will call you and ask for your SSN, and often you have no choice but to comply with these or not use those services, because they simply offer no other options.

I still can't understand how it's possible that a SSN is used as a sort of password. In Italy and Belgium (the two places where I lived) there is an equivalent thing, of course, but it's not meant to be a password at all. If anything, it's akin to a username. If you want to authenticate against it you need something else (an actual password, a smart card, a 2FA app, it depends). In Italy, specifically, the so called "fiscal code" is essentially a function of you name, surname and place and date of birth.
As it happens, a kernel update appears to have fixed the issue, but thank you for this tip.
1907? Compare that to Ronald Fisher going to Rothamsted Experimental Station in 1919 and spending the next 14 years pioneering Biostatistics. Notice too that he is working on plants. There are no ethical concerns about doing randomized controlled trials on plants.

Medicine is much trickier. If an eminent doctor declares a medical treatment to be successful and others doubt, can the controversy be settled by a randomized controlled trial? That requires that the control group be deprived of a treatment that has the approval of an eminent doctor. Tradition views that as unethical and forbidden.

The next big date is 1972 and the publication of Effectiveness and Efficiency: Random Reflections on Health Services. Archie Cochrane moved things along with straight talk about how few medical treatments actually worked. Trusting eminent doctors had been tried and failed. It was time for randomized controlled trials to be used, not just for proposed new treatments, but to review old treatments that some doubted.

But returning to 1907, one notes that Archie Cochrane was born in 1909. The man who persuaded the world that biostatistics was for medicine, not just plants, wasn't born yet.

Dismantling the state "asylum" system in the 1970's looks poorly timed in retrospect. The mentally ill end up missing out on the transition from eminence based medicine to evidence based medicine. Too late to go back and fix it; we've moved on to money based medicine :-(
Ok, I see where you're coming from. I'd call that "tedious" and "taking up a lot of time I'd rather spend productively". ;)

I didn't say recreate reddit. The point of the reddit origin story is that people will only start contributing content if there's already interesting content there.

If I host a new forum and just leave it on the internet, will someone create a account and post when there's zero messages there? Unlikely.

Ergo, founders of a social site need to seed it with interesting enough content that the first users will stick around.
Heh I feel most people think of "small town America" when they think rural, which often includes almost all of the midwest outside of Chicago.

Zoom definitely have a "moat" even if not one that's necessarily going to last forever, but at least better than no moat at all.

They are built in to some video conferencing solutions in offices. Specifically a place I go has a room where we have to use Zoom to interact with the cameras, microphones and screens of the room - even though we'd otherwise usually use Google Meet which we prefer.

> prohibit app stores from hosting apps that enable transactions in China’s digital yuan

I think it would be reasonable to restrict usage of digital yuan by US businesses, but complete deplatforming seems annoying

I get that “China bad” is a popular position, but all you’re doing is punishing Americans who might want to travel to China or interact with Chinese friends (or worse: force those Americans to buy Chinese phones to avoid the deplatforming)
With confusing growth and evolution / progress? Can't we be "richer" without "growth" in the inflationary broad sense?

Surely change is hard, inevitably have issues during the change, but change can bring richness without growth, they are conceptually distinct things, merged into one by the actual model, not by nature.
I think all of those cases should be reported as vacancies. Those are shelters going unused, that other people could be using. And I think they're relevant to the current discussion because those unused homes are taking up the extra supply, increasing price

To clarify, my view is that there are billions of people who never engage with the scientific establishment because they lack the means to do so. Among these are many people who might have made tremendous discoveries if they had grown up in a more privileged environment.

I might point at the fact that tenure-track professors are 25 times more likely to have a parent with a PhD than the general population (https://osf.io/preprints/socarxiv/6wjxc). Also, here's a good, factual article illustrating my general point: https://www.nature.com/articles/537466a

Reading between the lines, I think your view is that the valuable contributors (the extreme outliers) will find a way to contribute regardless of background. I think that's true, to some extent, but less common than we give it credit for. I also think that ignores the majority of scientists who are not outliers but make important discoveries just as a matter of course. Discoveries that may inform future breakthroughs.

Anyway, the truth is certainly somewhere in the middle. By growing the population of people who might make contributions (one way or another), we will increase the rate of contributions. I just think it's best from a moral, social, and ecological perspective to make the most of the minds we already have.
ah, of course, thanks.

Is this how you really feel about the Fortune 500 companies that participate in your From Day One conferences? That their leaders should be lynched?
By the biggest shareholders which are in turn the same kind of people.

And they surely not pay it out of THEIR OWN pockets...they pay it out of pockets of their customers and so on goes the responsibility train...

Also what's the "choice" there? Seriously, even calling that "choice" is ridiculous.

The alternative is to force those bloodsuckers to pay wages people can life from. They can keep the rest. Nobody would give a damn because at some point they'd have to rise prices to reflect even in the slightest ways the actual worth of the work of their weakest slaves which carry the whole construct. Maybe and only maybe then they'd cut the wages higher above where all those useless paper pushers sit with their fancy names or they'd lose money because people would stop buying their shit.

Quite easy eh? And everybody knows about that solution. It's just not happening because everybody who could enforce it, is just as greedy as the assholes on top and their "shareholders".
> Because there should still be a natural distribution. Even if you are evaluating the cream of the crop.

Why should there be? Let's say all students in the class are A students, and would get an A in any other class, then some now get a B or C just because their classmates happen to be even better?

It seems to me that doesn't really reflect student ability very accurately.
Exactly. And the problem is even if I want to stay, once my entire social group has left during the pandemic since none of us were old enough to have mortgages or kids, well, this all kind of sucks right now. All the people I work with have kids and mortgages and have enjoyed flitting up to Tahoe for the past two years, but I'm not from the state but was required to work within it for the past year anyway. Well, my life here is pretty shitty right now, and as soon as I could really start doing things, it was time to start a hybrid model designed with people with kids and mortgages in mind. Traditionally, these folks have a lot of leverage over their younger counterparts, which we're finding is not holding.

The issue is that Gen X is small, so they don't have a lot of leverage if the only other two generations in the market just leave town. Unless it's their opinion that Californians are just better, but of course, now we're back to the shrinking schools problem. It's difficult for me to imagine how California rebounds without losing a lot more ground first. Probably the best thing that could happen for people from the part of the country I grew up in, if we're actually concerned with equity though.
How do prior art pieces invalidate it if they weren't compressed with it?
I think that you're right, and in addition: there's a perception that the price is going up because there's a shortage that's outside of Sony's control, so if Sony jacks up the price I think Sony would be accused of profiteering / taking advantage of the situation.

"This company is price-gouging me due to temporary circumstances" definitely impacts brand perception, customer goodwill, etc
I did something similar many years ago.

It is going to feel even better than you think.

Per this post [0] by Andrew Kelley, Zig's lead developer, projects with "large dependency trees" are better off using other tools than rely on Zig's cross-compile magic.

DuckDB needs Python3 to build as well, so not sure how easy it might be to get it cross-compile with Zig CC.

sure. and despite all the trouble people have, their definition is quite simple. the crux of the problem is understanding continuity. if you truly understand the continuity of the reals (which is the "real" invention), limits can be derived almost effortlessly.

in most calculus teaching, continuity is quickly stated and then there's a bunch of rules and these seemingly contradictory discussions involving delta and epsilon. they're not contradictory if continuity is understood and internalized.
The larger scientific community is still waiting for the QC folks to actually do something interesting. From what I can tell, QC is still stuck in the position of claiming they've achieved supremacy, but cannot demonstrate any important problem which cannot be solved on conventional computers, that can be done on QC.

Some folks trot out various projects to "optimize logistics" using QC (Volkswagen), but if you look at the problems they want to solve, we already have classical solvers that reach effective optimality in reasonable times. It's not like QC is somehow going to magically find a route that can do the kessel run in 9 parsecs (whatever the hell that means).

Even following many of the most promising teams, I don't really see a path which will lead to that. My conclusion is that nobody truly has a plan for a marketable QC for the foreseeable future- and instead, these are basically just "science-by-press-release" from the academic and industrial communities.

Really a shame since it seems like there's a lot of other useful applications that material scientists and quantum reserachers could be working on.

My house is under 1200 sqft and at night in winter we turn the heat down real low and just use space heaters in the bedrooms to take the chill off. We also got new, high end windows in the bedrooms so the space heaters run for about 15 minutes total. Also I like to sleep cold. Payback time is something like 10 - 15 years if it was twice as efficient given the math I did. Instead of a heater I got the basement redone as that was becoming a issue.

Part of me is also sort of thinking that each year I wait the heater I will get in the future will be a little more efficient. I've been thinking about replacing it since I moved in but just recently I'm hearing people in my area talking about heat pumps so I might see if I can give it another year or two and see if that becomes more mainstream and go that way.

Please consider looking at places like DonorsChoose if you'd like to donate money, especially to towns away from large cities. It's my hope that we can get more active citizen participation in education reform, so if possible consider local activism. The scene can be messy and frustrating but it should offer you greater visibility in the ways money can change the paradigm and expectations of the system.

And to be fair, I've been looking at getting out of teaching and landing a job in data analysis myself, so I'm not as pure of motive as many think teachers are. This last week has just really pushed me to make this my last year of teaching.
