I know there is lots of middle ground between coreboot, what windows does, what an iPhone does, and what a Samsung fridge does but my point is that it's really hard to judge wether you're just becoming an old man talking about the kids these days.

I had KDE running on Wayland mostly OK, but some glitches caused me to switch the session back to X (in exchange for other glitches I already know how to deal with). I never asked to switch, it happened when upgrading to 35. It also means I don't know how to install the X session.

Not sure what you mean. Inflation drives prices up so it was a great run up. Not going to short my house or anything (especially living in it) because, as they say, people can stay irrational for a long time. I did get out of all my investments (stocks, crypto, etc...) a few months ago when it was obvious central banks would have to act.
I think it's worth noting-- there's some serious work exploring these kinds of things in the ancient world (Temple of Kykeon, Soma of the Rg Veda, Amrta, Cintamani) and it's still an open subject. Terence McKenna theorized that Psilocybin mushrooms might be responsible for, "mystical visions through substance" but as a practicing, "Hindu" (Chaitanya follower) I've come to find that in the case of the mystical substances of ancient India that there's actually a very involved and very profound philosophical tradition(s) surrounding Amrta (Love of Godhead; Bhakti) Soma (Moon Juice for The God of Heaven) and Cintamani (Puranic equivalent of the Philosopher's Stone) that really doesn't have anything to do with, "psychedelic culture" outside of being generally mind expanding.

tl;dr: She was last holy remnant of the age the Hellenic Greeks idealized about-- The Homeric period before book culture and the Sophists. The time when magic and unadulterated heroism ruled the Earth. Think about Tolkien the next time you trip. The magic isn't in a molecule baby, it's in us!
Thanks for the recommendation, I will definitely check it out.
Given that I am working professionally with C++ (meaning I earn money by writing code in this language) I find it remarkable, that I appreciate and actually think it’s a useful book for my daily work. 1300+ pages of detailed language features just to somewhat get by and feel sufficient competent that my code does what I intended to do.

Looking behind my back there is a shelf of another 30+ books full of C++ (Meyers, Sutter, Alexandrescu, Langr, Feathers, Stroustrup, Lakos etc) that I have read page to page. However, I am certain that any sufficient C++ developer can embarrass me by showing me a corner of this language I have never experienced before. It just never stops. The things I have to keep in mind while coding a solution for the actual problem at hand can be astounding.

But then, I really like coding in it as there are these rare cases when I’m coming up with an elegant and straight to the point solution. I think I have some kind of Stockholm love-hate relationship with this tool of choice.
Causality seems backward, but the sentiment holds. Grifters and fraudsters have an eye for recognizing settings and circumstances where their exploits may go unnoticed until they're off with the goods. It's what makes them good at their trades. Novel accounting methods -- and more broadly the financialization of financialization that defines modern speculative finance -- especially obscure and technical ones, are great venues for fraud.
> it seems to me that the definition of equality needs a context

That's precisely it. Mathematicians are often casual with terminology even when being completely precise inside their context. I did not get beyond introductory graduate-level mathematics, but I distinctly remember a professor announcing this in the third or fourth lecture of an algebra class:

"From today until the end of the semester, when I say 'ring' I will mean a commutative ring, except on occasion when it will be obvious that the ring is not commutative."

Some professors/authors were more fastidious about using unambiguous terminology, but many preferred to slap the easiest word possible on whatever relationship felt the most important in the context. So one professor would say "what we're really interested in is the quotients modulo 10," and another would say "12 is equal to 2" and expect you to understand the same thing from it.
It does... Obviously "www.google.com" is not in the manpage.

Books are great for when you don’t know what you don’t know. Scott Meyers’ Effective C++ books were hugely valuable to me for that reason.
Based on my own experience running forums that aggregate content I have tended to find that a specific group of people vote on content based on what they like and think looks interesting rather than having a situation where people only vote on topics they are competent in.
I personally store a printed copy of an emergency-only SSH key (ed25519) in a safe, also formatted as a QR code to quickly import it if something goes wrong. The key is short enough to fit within a QR code length limit, and I can quickly scan it to my computer using my 2D barcode scanner.

I just import my `authorized_keys` that I keep up-to-date on my new server when I do the initial setup.
"Based on this I felt like some of the big winners in 2050 will be Rust, Clojure and Go. They mostly nail these criteria and are well-designed for not relying on containers or other similar technology for basic testing and feature implementation. They are also (reasonably) tolerant of spotty internet presuming the environment has been set up ahead of time."

Why is Clojure better then Java when it's a JVM language as well? It uses Java artefacts (Maven) so how is it more tolerant than Java of a spotty internet? Scala, Clojure, Java, Groovy should all rate pretty much the same or am I missing something?
I’m not saying that Amazon should simply avoid harming people with disabilities. I’m going one step further and saying that they should actively help them.

Voice assistants are an obvious solution for people who can’t use other input devices because disability. Yet, Amazon has designed the device as a solution for people who choose not to use other input devices out of mild inconvenience, without any thought to accommodating the former.

They could improve people’s lives with very little marginal effort, yet, they choose not to. This is illegal when you’re building accommodations in the physical world, but sadly, mostly legal in the digital world.

I'm not sure if you stopped too early or if you have a grudge against the author or what.

> I’m still reading this book, and I haven’t read all the pages (1300+ pages!). Yet, I’ve seen all of chapters, read half of them and picked those related to my recent work, tasks, or blog posts. I’m impressed with the level of detail and the quality the authors put into this material. The book has become my primary “reference” for those C++11/14 parts.

SQL and HTML/CSS and C and bash are all Turing complete. However we can easily see some languages are a better suited to expressing certain types of ideas than others.

That is a lazy quip. A simply review of legislation passed in the few previous decades shows quite a bit of difference in goals.

Even more of a stark difference once you look at differences in state laws.

If you're looking to learn Nix start-to-end, there manuals for Nix and NixOS, both are good.

This is an extensive study at trying to 'understand' Nix, because is does so many things differently: https://ianthehenry.com/posts/how-to-learn-nix/

If you're just looking to start building your system, follow NixOS manual up until you have a running system, then pace yourself as you will. You can also setup Nix on existing Linux distro or macOS and practice the ropes before plunging into NixOS.
The shed's a strawman. How do we handle hurricane damage and other "acts of god?" Not in court, but with insurers. Do insurers currently insure properties with sheds? Yes. Do they insure shabby sheds against hurricanes? Maybe - it's up to them and I'm sure they can figure out if the odds would pay off for them.

If your shed exploded into millions of shards of glass when struck by high wind that would be a different story. Or if it spread toxic chemicals all over your neighborhood. Or if it caught fire easily and the fire could spread to other buildings. Who would have thought sheds would make such wonderful metaphors?
Not for California bills
I just don't see those tradeoffs adding up for me. My days in the Bay Area taught me to dress in layers and always have extra layers when going out anyway, although I know it was just one example you were giving.

I've had a non-vanity phone number with five consecutive (non-repeating) digits for over 25 years. Even before the advent of phone spam and robocalling, it was receiving a lot more calls than my other phones. Many of the calls were from kids playing with a phone. It seems to be more likely than not that people press consecutive digits when dialing a "random" phone number.

Separately, I once bought a cell phone in a city with a brand new overlay area code, and they gave me this number: 424-210-0000. They were really surprised when I told them that I did not want it and had them port my old cell phone number to it instead. I suppose I could have kept it and then sold it to someone else. Apparently such things have value to some people, mostly businesses.
That's the point of an algo stablecoin. I can see the code and have direct oversight.

You may have been infected, and roused antibodies that are very effective and the infection is suppressed early. People like you should become part of an investigation into the nature of your immunity - in the hopes it has latched onto a root conserved part of the virus and will lead to a time when we can all get such an effective antigenic system.
We are now, but there's a little more to it. When we first got this dishwasher, we never cleaned the filters. Our previous washer didn't need that, and we didn't know better.

So it got pretty bad before we realized we needed to do that. We cleaned it very thoroughly at that point and now clean the filters at least weekly, but we still have these problems.
Is there any evidence for that? This again seems like the kind of whataboutism designed to deflect and not engage.

Clearly what we did worked vs. the flu. So arguments that "what we did" was not effective vs. covid seem prima facie wrong. Right?

It's OK to argue at the margins about what the most effective strategies were, and I'm happy to engage on that. But almost everywhere I see this argument, it seems more like an attempt to paper over a historical refusal to accommodate any mitigation at all.
Okay, the analogy is not exact, and some software is genuinely different. That's fine. But what I don't understand is why you and others in this response claim that "it must be okay because people purchase it that way" is a legitimate argument in this context.

The idea that the markets can figure out how to build reliable and efficient infrastructure is contrary to evidence, theory or intuition. The actors are vastly asymmetric, information is hard to get by, risks hard to evaluate and judge, many infrastructures are natural monopolies, etc... And a large part of code in companies _is_ infrastructure.

In this type of context, people who would individually make shitty purchasing decisions generally support laws that support them in making better decisions (or in not having to make decisions). You do not want to evaluate whether saving 2$ on rent is worth the increased fire hazard of not having adequate fireproofing in the insulation.

You sure as hell wouldn't want the company to not be liable if they just installed the cheapest shit they could find and the building does burn down.
The depth of what you want to understand with C++ is sometimes pretty deep though. I’m thinking about things like lvalues, rvalues, const vs constexpr, etc…
Joining the eglot choir. It behaves like I expect Emacs modes to behave and hooks into other Emacs functionality (xref, eldoc). Actually, it behaves better than that: it often works with zero configuration, which is much better than I expect.
I use the WeMos D1 Mini. It's a small board with fewer pins than a NodeMCU or Lolin D32 board but more than sufficient for stuff like this. The ESP32 is more powerful but to be honest for a simple bunch of wifi sensors it's overkill. Though one thing that is nice is that the ESP32 has a dual-core CPU meaning the WiFi can run on the second core. It's more responsive as a result but again, for this kind of stuff it doesn't really matter. You can find WeMos (or knockoffs which work fine) for 2$ everywhere.

The ESP32 also has bluetooth which the 8266 doesn't. But WiFi and BT can't be used at the same time, you can turn them both on but they have to share the 'airtime' meaning more airtime for BT is more packet loss for wifi. If I need both I will usually just use 2 for this reason :)

For programming I used https://ESPHome.io which is perfect for Home Assistant and you can program it right from the Home Assistant interface, just by declaring a few variables. I even have a $2 OLED display hooked up to it (SSD1306 1-color typical aliexpress thingy), works perfectly.

It's highly recommended, let me know if you have more questions.

And yeah like the other person said, power supply for these boards is irrelevant, any USB supply will do. They're not fussy because they don't use a lot of power unlike a pi.
What is the competitive advantage of this versus NVMe? Their 1TB ramdisk is $1000, while a Gen 4 NVMe PCI-e card gives the same speeds in a smaller and more standard format for $150-$200.
When dealing with unknown unknowns any theory can be logical.

Maybe extra-terrestrials are more like lumberjacks chopping down trees. Except these lumber jacks avoid *any tree with a bird's nest in it*. Then, we should be as visible as possible.

So should we be quiet (ala Dark Forest), or loud? Depends on how you model extra-terrestrials.
I think you have a narrower definition of ‘social’ function. I mean the things that are useful to society as a whole. Things we seem not helpful/useful/conducive to people leading best lives can be curtailed. Not everyone shares the view that “economic freedoms” are inalienable when they entail externalities.
The hard version of this, sometimes called Strong Whorfianism (after the Sapir-Whorf hypothesis) is relatively easy to discredit. Imagine a system of gears. Turn them and adjust them in your mind. You’re thinking in images rather than language.

The soft version of this, that our thinking is influenced by the limits of language is almost certainly true. To give a very HN example, think about the work done in different programming languages or stacks. The way you think about a problem and how to solve it will be influenced by the language and tools you use (and know). You learn to think in a particular language or tool set. That doesn’t mean that you can’t think outside of it, but it does mean that there is a tendency to stay inside of it, inside the structures you know.

In the same way, some languages lend themselves more readily to certain culturally prevalent concepts. More nuanced words for snow or love, different color boundaries, different emotion words or nuances, etc.

I ran into this often when learning French as an emotion researcher. I’d try to express a scientific conception of a mood or emotion from English, and the French speaker would suggest a translation but it clearly didn’t mean exactly what I was going for. And the way the French speaker would push back was interesting, “we wouldn’t say it like that, we’d say it like this”. But the “this” and “that” were not exactly the same. I was watching us both be constrained by our language context. It could be pushed through, but the tendency was to just move forward as if we’d reached common ground but hadn’t fully.
Not to defend Scorpion Capital (because I don't know anything about them), but this is specifically why our public markets allow short selling... to provide an incentive to do this type of research (uncover alleged fraud, crimes, etc), stake a position, and then (optionally) advertise that position.

Also, seems like they've had some decent wins in the past: https://scorpioncapital.com/track-record
Climate change has turned into a sort of quasi-religious moral issue that blends with other issues of our day.

The thinking goes that, if only we could become pure and stop partaking in the evils of consumer capitalism, we might appease a hidden power and be saved from a myriad of bogeyman such as climate change.

This mindset fails to reasonably consider the certainty and enormity of the threat. Organized civilization is likely to end. Billions will die and we might very well become extinct.

The problem must be attacked with the full force of human intellect. It's so damn obvious that "wait for everyone to become super duper conscientious" is a fool's plan.
I never connected my TV to wifi
You and tokai are correct. Thanks to both of you for the correction.
Scorpion capital?

I think in summary what you are alluding to is instruction decoding and scheduling as the sibling comment points out, which is indeed a large cost in both speed and power.

> SIMD vs no SIMD has a neglectable overhead compared to entering a lower power state sooner.

Yes on the same CPU as I suggested, real world difference may be unmeasurable. However note that this particular case is interesting because it's not comparing fewer serial multiplies to more SIMD multiplies, it's comparing SIMD multiplies to no multiplies but with a serial constraint due to variable dependence... i.e it's SIMD vs no multiply without any other difference in number or type of ALU ops... which again could make no difference on a big x86 in practice, but it would be interesting to know.

All of this changes if you are coding for a lower power device and have choice of hardware.
I think you have the right mindset, you don't need that much to start hacking digital electronics. Analog is harder for programmers because there is less skill overlap but simple hacks can't be that hard if you are willing to do it.

What always frustrated me with electronics was material considerations. You need all sorts of stuff, like a good soldering iron, oscilloscope, hot air station, magnifying glass/microscope, all sorts of wires, basic components, lab power supply, multimeters, probes, prototyping boards, etc... For programming, you just need a computer, but for electronics, you also need one.

It is not just expensive, in fact it is not that expensive for a full startup kit, thank you China. But what you also need is space, if you don't have a dedicated room for your workshop (i.e. not your bedroom or living room) it is going to be really annoying real quick. You need a bench to put all your stuff, and also enough space to store all the crap you will either repair or cannibalize part from. It also makes moving more difficult.

While it is not an absolute necessity, and there are things like hackerspaces, but there is a barrier that is not present when you are just working with computers.
