You're mixing two different eras in the USSR.

Stalinist USSR forced strangers to live in the same apartment (or, alternatively, families living in what were essentially SRO units), because the impoverished, largely rural population was force-urbanized over a very brief time period, and the living space was simply not there to support this influx into the cities. And then that thing called 'World War II' happened, which sapped a decade of economic output on building guns, and rebuilding. It also killed ~15 million young men, and invalided many, many more. [1]

Post-Stalin planning focused on solving this problem, through a massive build-out of single-family apartments. Non-relative roommates weren't much of a thing after that point.

> But some "thinkers" believe that if only SF and other big cities would build complexes like the USSR, except that they would look more like SoMa mid-rises than the more utilitarian Soviet Apt blocks we could fit and satisfy everyone who wants to live in SF and other large cities.

Given how much of an unmitigated disaster the current housing situation in SF/Seattle/etc is, buying out a hundred or so blocks and replacing them with Khrushchevkas would be an improvement for everyone[2] in the city.

[1] I hear this sort of thing does wonders for construction productivity.

[2] Except for people who paid 3 million dollars to buy the equivalent of a shed in the current insane housing market. Unfortunately, they have both political capital, and the desire to exercise it, and would rather see the city burn down around them, than lose the money they locked into their home.
This was from people we already hired - as in people who were employees of the company and wanted to build a new product. We're currently looking to maybe add another co-founder level person, and such looking to meet new people.

That's good to hear.

I might be operating off of old news. But IIRC, the 6800 wasn't well supported when it first came out, and AMD constantly has been applying patches to get it up-to-speed.

I wasn't sure what the state of the 6800 was (I don't own it myself), so I might be operating under old news. As I said a bit earlier, I use the Vega64 with no issues (for 256-thread workgroups. I do think there's some obscure bug for 1024-thread workgroups, but I haven't really been able to track it down. And sticking with 256-threads is better for my performance anyway, so I never really bothered trying to figure this one out)
As others have noted, it is the humidity that is the killer.

In most bad hurricanes, your home is going to leak some amount of water if you are in this region and take a direct hit. Doesn't matter how fancy your roof is. Something is going to leak.

Absent some external miracles, your HVAC system is the fastest way to dry out your house after it gets absolutely wrecked in one of these storms. The only way, even. To be clear, my setup is for the aftermath. I am not expecting to ride through a hurricane with my portable genset sitting in the back yard chugging along.

well I disagree. in many situations there's just so much you can do. time the flash, drop the combo and that's about it. bash 5-10 buttohs and you are mostly done for next 10-20 seconds. good reflexes do matter but not as much. what matters way more is game / map sense, presence of actual strategic / tactical plan, team synergy, experience
> Is college solely the domain of the upper middle class?

Pretty much. At least the sort of degrees that leave you 100k+ in debt with no way to repay it. Poor kids don't have the luxury of making mistakes like that.

> for example subsidies for solar panels mostly go to the wealthy+upper middle class, but it still benefits everyone.

Only if you ignore opportunity costs. Those same dollars could've resolved food insecurity for a family for a few years instead they are sitting on a rich guys roof so he can brag about it in a condescending manner at dinner parties.
I am too lazy to do napkin math on this, but the article implies it can run a home with AC for days.

> Ford says the Lightning can fully power an average home for roughly three days. “That’s a house like my house with AC, Xbox, kids going crazy leaving lights on everywhere,” Linda Zhang, chief engineer of the F-150 Lightning, tells Bloomberg Green. With more frugal use, the Lightning could keep a home running for up to 10 days, she says.

I recommend Bernays’ “Public Relations”, and “Propaganda” if you’d like to understand what I’m raving about, and why it would be strategically sound.

It isn’t necessarily about what makes sense, in a rational and deterministic fashion, rather what the stochastic outcomes of an action are. When you’re dealing with mass sentiment, the right move is often deeply counterintuitive, and you have to pretty much be a sociopath to execute adroitly. Demagoguery is a case in point of the veracity of this.

Neat. I do this with public radio (KCRW, WQXR, WFMU) but this opens up a lot of variety.
I would also add that the tooling is very good. A few examples:

- Built-in test suite that is simple but extensible. Also fast because it can test different packages simultaneously.

- Building is easy. Unless you're doing something unusual, you probably don't need a Makefile or any configuration, you just run go build .

- Gofmt means that everyone's code looks the same and you don't have to waste your time arguing about indentation or whatever. Some may see this as a downside.
What happened to Gale? That was the other IM system I saw that felt like it had the complexity and internal self-consistency of Zephyr and it feels like it just kind of fell of the face of the earth.
>XMODEM is a terrible protocol.

I think a more charitable description would be Minimum Viable Product. It was far less complex than KERMIT, and got the job done.

As soon as better options became available, we all jumped.

Still, sometimes you've got a spiffy new Toshiba laptop with 3 1/2" disk drives, MS-DOS, and nothing else. This in a house full of 8" and 5 1/4" floppies. What to do? Use debug and Copy con to pull over just enough of Xmodem from another machine, to then pull over Qmodem, then Laplink, and it's off to the races we go.

I was amazed to watch it happen.

We're talking economics, there is very little evidence in general. The entire field is essentially observations and storytelling.

The evidence is profits increasing faster than inflation and examples of C-suites saying straight up that this environment is letting them raise prices.

The story is that when inflation is low, consumers are more intolerant of price hikes. They'll shop around and try out your competitors. Evidence to support this sentiment analysis is the myriad ways companies sneakily "hike" prices. Shrinkflation for example. When prices seem like they are going up on everything, what's the point of shopping around?
Noted. At the moment it's mostly mowing grass. I was on the mower the other day thinking I wonder if there's anyone out there who'd like to come along for this ride... It is a weirdly fun problem trying to real-time determine the most efficient path to cover what needs mowing.
The biggest problem is that analog is nothing like digital - BTW my PhD thesis back in the 1980s was about this. You can make it work at low frequencies that are essentially "DC". Higher frequencies simply can't work - too many parasitics plus lumped equivalent fails.

formerly_proven hits the nail on the head.
You're quite right.

"An estimate of future HPC needs should be both demand-based and reasonable. From an
operational NWP perspective, a four-fold increase in model resolution in the next ten years
(sufficient for convection-permitting global NWP and kilometer-scale regional NWP) requires on
the order of 100 times the current operational computing capacity. Such an increase would
imply NOAA needs a few exaflops of operational computing by 2031. Exascale computing
systems are already being installed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (1.5 exa floating point
operations per second (EF)) and Argonne Labs (1.0 EF) and it is likely that these national HPC
laboratories will approach 100 EF by 2031. Because HPC resources are essential to achieving the
outcomes discussed in this report, it is reasonable for NOAA to aspire to a few percent of the
computing capacity of these other national labs at a minimum. Substantial investments are also
needed in weather research computing. To achieve a 3:1 ratio of research to operational HPC,
NOAA will need an additional 5 to 10 EF of weather research and development computing by
2031. Since research computing generally does not require high-availability HPC, it should cost
substantially less than operational HPC and should be able to leverage a hybrid of outsourced,
cloud and excess compute resources."[1]

It was both designed as a luxury experience and to take as little time as possible. These goals are fundamentally at odds.
Both, I believe most of them were from China.
Also a very typical complaint in previous HN discussions of UML is that it very quickly gets out of sync with implementation, and nobody has a magic wand (or work time) for keeping it in sync, so rot sets in quickly.
I agree.

I'd say I have met a lot of native speakers that, while obviously native, have poor vocabulary skills (and also make some grammar mistakes - but not the ones the ESL students usually make)

It's not surprising to have people that have trouble with words like rotund, pulmonary, saturnine, among others. (Or the usual mistakes like "should of", "it's" when they mean "its", etc)

When I lived in Germany, I saw a video clip of Arnold speaking German. To my great surprise, he had the same accent when speaking German that he does when speaking English. He apparently speaks a regional dialect from the part of Austria he comes from, and it really affects how he sounds.

Thanks for mentioning TiDB here. It is mysql compatible HTAP database. But different with AlloyDB. We do not reuse the code of MySQL/PostgreSQL.

Appreciate that what I got was a bid from a leading generator provider, and the cost included all of the installation, wiring, gas lines, trenching, permits, etc.

Also appreciate that when it comes to mechanical things in general, I seem to excel at swinging hammers on to all 10 of my left thumbs. I'm not someone who's going to "do it myself" by any stretch. Just not my gift.

I was as surprised as anyone at the overall cost of the project, and how the Powerwall had become competitive to it. I do not think I would have been as happy with the generator as I am with the Powerwall, and the daily utility of the system is just far higher than the occasional backup utility of the generator would have been.
I had a similar experience to your farm days. Many of my fathers engineer friends would take a week of "vacation" to come work a 60 hour week in the hot sun on the farm. They enjoyed the hustle, seeing a tangible product from their work, operating heavy machinery, and the comradery.

I think doing something different like this offers an opportunity to build community in many ways, and it is important to consider this as relationships have a lot of value independent of the "things" on the farm.

Regarding codevelopment, I don't think I have too much to offer that isn't obvious. If you like solving problems, I agree that farms certainly provide a ton of problems. Having an analytical mindset is applicable to both. Maybe you will find problems on your farm that need a programming solution, maybe not. Im not sure that you can force it.
No, I was just behind the times. Bernstein used to work at the university of Eindhoven, now he's at the university of Bochum, which is indeed a German city.
I think you're underestimating how cheaply a manufacturer could negotiate a one time fee low bandwidth 5G connection for. If it's setup to only upload in off peak hours it's going to just be free money for wireless carriers. Maybe they'll double dip and buy the data for themselves as well.

I even saw the newer broadcast TV standard was going to have 2 way communication for ad tech.
I would agree that the compilation to machine code might do something different than the high-level mental model. Though the machine code or intermediary code might be interesting to some, the semantics and mental model on a higher level are usually what we reason about. If we don't do it this way, then Lisp doesn't exist and functional programming doesn't exist, because we don't have a machine model that behaves like it.

And in that sense, C assignment and Lisp assignment are different beasts. Mainly in that - again in the semantics of the high-level description - "memory reservation" in C happens when we declare the left-hand side of an assignment and in Lisp it happens when we construct the right-hand side.

Though if you can show me a mainstream Lisp where the assignment works like setting a memory cell and not like a bind, I'm happy to be proven wrong.

I really wish people who aren't from my city or state would stop arguing from their ignorant suppositions.
I am in fact disputing this empirical fact, or at least the interpretation of it that is suggested in the article.

There is no such thing in mathematics such as an unresolved dispute over whether or not a five line proof with elementary concepts is flawed or not. The only possible situations are: 1) the proof can be checked to be correct at the level of axioms, 2) an incorrect reasoning step can be pointed to or 3) the proof is ambiguous and/or people cannot agree on what is being proved.

There isn't really a mathematical literature about the two envelopes paradox because the paradox is not really interesting from a mathematical standpoint. Or at least, making it interesting from a mathematical standpoint would require presenting a different argument than the one presented in the Wikipedia article. There may be a scholarly debate about different philosophical or linguistic aspects of this paradox. However, there is certainly no debate about where the flaw is in the presented switching argument once you make it precise enough.

(And the answer should not involve infinite series unless you are looking at a different, strong-arm version of the argument.)
What is the license? I don't see it at a glance.
Turbo Pascal wasn't entirely compliant to the Pascal spec either.
I've worked at a variety of places and have never seen any kind of system or architecture diagram going in (should probably ask about this in the interview stage). Further, it often seems that no one understands the overall system well, in some cases even when there's an architect.

So I usually find myself in the same position of using jump-to-definition and trying to get a handle on things that way.

From there, I'll sketch a simple diagram on paper to aid my own understanding of whatever piece of the system on working on. Personally, I'd avoid software diagramming tools at this stage. A simple hand drawn diagram can be extremely helpful and doesn't take long to create.

After a while, I'll often start sketching out a more comprehensive system diagram with the database(s), processes, etc. At this point, I'd ask management about working on this because it can be a time consuming process that involves talking to a lot of people.

In my experience, this has usually been an uphill battle and somewhere between difficult and impossible to take on as an individual developer, but I think it's worth a try. Taking this kind of initiative could lead to career advancement, but I've often found that there's a lot of resistance and it's not seen as a priority.

It might seem a bit cynical, but as a junior or even intermediate developer, I'd also advise caution against stepping on anyone's toes. I'm not sure why, but some people tend to get defensive about this kind of thing.

> Up until 1993, the federal government merely guaranteed/backed student loans that private lenders gave. This meant that only in the case of someone defaulting on their loan would the government be on the hook, stepping in and paying the college what’s owed.

No, the college gets paid on day one by the lender, whether it's (1) a non-federal loan, (2) a federally-guaranteed loan, or (3) a direct federal loan. The only case where the college would be out money is if they were the lender, but loans from schools were not the norm in the guaranteed loan program, school-issued loans tended to be (an old still are found as) private non-federal loans that are most commonly offered by for-profit institutions.

The difference between (1) and (2) is that the feds pay the lender (not the school) in case of default, so lenders have no real risk and behave accordingly.

From the schools perspective, there is no incentive difference between #2 and #3.

What you are looking for is called "Program Understanding". If you Google for it you'll find a bunch of research papers on the topic.

For some reason, tools related to program understanding are not widely adopted by IDEs.

A while ago I used a tool for Java that was based on the Object-Oriented Metrics[0] book by Michele Lanza. But, that tool was discontinued and it doesn't exist anymore[1].

If you are interested in that topic take a look at Moose[2], a dig a little bit in the research papers. (honestly I tried Moose a few times, but I wasn't very comfortable with it).

For TypeScript projects, the TS compiler API is extremely powerful and easy to use. You can use that to extract information and analyze the code relationships (Graphviz is your friend here :) ).
