Can speak only for myself. But i got a lot of joy learning to dance rock and west coast swing.

Also learning the mathematical basis of music, and then applying it by learning an instrument.

The funny thing is that when I reach a reasonable level at something, I usually want to try something else. So what I really enjoy is the learning process.

What will be next? Who knows? May be sports? [Ah ah, no thanks...]
Liberica coffee goes by the name Barako in the Philippines. Might help with the search.

They sell it in large bags here on the local markets.

(No idea what for, though. Pretty much everyone here just drinks sugary instant coffees...)
The empathetic take is that nobody deserves to be the target of another's malice.

We're all only a few steps removed from becoming easy victims ourselves: being transported to an unfamiliar setting, growing older, developing cancer or a neurodegenerative disease, or simply getting whacked in the head.
> the government will be formally requesting the use of “Turkiye” instead of the anglicized “Turkey” in all international forums.

It seems that it absolutely is something that a nation can request and other nations should comply with - unless... Is there some controversy? I mean, the timing of this request makes one think that perhaps it is a negotiating tactic with allowing NATO expansion.
There's an enormous amount of ceteris paribus in any such discussion.

The isolated (isolationist has an implication of ideology which I don't care to impute) person can expect to get sicker for a given amount of exposure. Given a (spherical, frictionless) Person of Ordinary Health, they will have hundreds or thousands of distinct exposures in a year and get sick once or twice.

I could ramble about my own exposure to influenza, its relation to extended stays in the tropics, and so on, but this discussion doesn't need to be carried on the strength of anecdote.

The strategy should be to avoid severe outcomes. Long Influenza is a real thing and tends to follow severe infection, people who end up in the hospital with flu often have problems for years afterward, or the rest of their lives.

Vaccination (ceteris paribus again!) is superior to infection and raises the odds of transcribing new mutations to the immune system without ever getting sick. But there isn't always a vaccine, influenza in particular is notoriously skilled at vaccine evasion, and the immune system has a sweet spot in terms of antibody and t cell concentration which is kept in homeostatis by exposure and only exposure. that's how vaccines work, it's controlled exposure, nothing more.

Edit to add: so if you're someone who has isolated yourself from the rest of humanity's biome for a few years, I'm sure you had your reasons and I don't question them. It's probably not a lifetime's worth of strategy, and when it comes time to get back into it, be smart about it.

Maybe don't go straight to New York and ride the subway for eight hours without a mask. You wouldn't go back to the gym after a year and try and squat what you were pushing then, it would snap your spine. Same thing with rebooting the immune system. Slow and steady, and realizing that a mild infection (could be covid, rhinvirus, influenza, for our purposes this doesn't matter) is inevitable and doesn't constitute moral failure.
I am curious to hear of hands on experience with http://www.generlink.com/ .

It is a medium power transfer switch that installs behind the electric meter, meaning that the existing panel can be used to select loads.

With a lower quality generator, you probably get ~3kW for less than $5000.
Every problem that gets solved is one less thing to campaign on. And since we don't hold our politicians accountable, they can just campaign on the same things over and over and never do anything about them.

I worked with person who told his/her manager that "they [mozilla] decreased stack size in firefox[0] and that's why app doesn't work because there was a lot of recursive calls under the hood cuz they used knockout.js or something like that"

the actual reason was some null or some other trivial thing

[0] I checked that later and they even increased it in last versions.

Much of that “public research” came from the military. But you’re taking away money from the government organizations that support teachers, firefighters, bus drivers, public health institutions, etc and for what aim? Pensions are funded by investments in the private sector. (yes I left out the police…)

The government is just going to outsource support and contracts to the private sector even if they do use open source. Meet the new boss…
I only have experience in EU, and here I think a 10x might be able to get max 20% more. In practice, they might love the job more than the pay, and so make as much as the rest. The ones earning more money are the ones who negotiate.

Edit: Sorry my explanation wasn't complete. In my opinion, getting a 10x developer has more to do with the work environment than with the developer. Some companies or structures just don't allow you to be a 10x developer.
Probably not.

You could get away with whatever machine you have lying around with enough space that does differential back ups to an external (or with something hosted somewhere else over the internet).
This brings back memories of my ISP days. I haven't worked with T1s in almost 25 years. Point-to-point T1's, frame relay, 56K dedicated lines, even ISDN. That was all fun stuff.
That's not my point. We've learned from the mistake of building a nuclear facility that's vulnerable to earthquakes. We know how to build earthquake-resistant buildings. We know how to build dams. We know that building things close to coastal areas puts them risk of being hit by tsunami. We've learned the hard way. We're in a better position now to build them than we were before.
Very cool. Might be nice to keep the moving-vehicle label in a more-fixed position (maybe with some line connecting it to the bounding-box) to make it easier to read, rather than having it track the vehicle bounding box.
Just a stab in the dark but him (Allan) and Ryan Fleury are working on a much bigger project atm (https://dion.systems/index.html) which includes an editor too, so i'm guessing they just don't have enough time

I'm a big fan of Terrastruct (https://terrastruct.com/). They focus on building great software for visualizing complex software architecture. Their secret sauce is this idea of attention where they allow you to zoom in and out so you can get the 10 foot view or 10,000 foot view, whatever you find most useful.
Oh! And having kids was the opportunity to learn cooking. Which is really a world by itself.
Get out of that situation immediately.

Find a situation with:
1. Sane expectations
2. A good team around you

One option might be to go be a contractor for a while. In the current climate you'll have lots of opportunity at unflashy but stable, large corporations. There will not generally be an expectation of overtime; if there is, you'll get paid for every hour of it. Anybody that can reasonably demonstrate their technical skills and ability to get along with others can be working somewhere new in 3 weeks.
Here's the problem. I have no formal education and I pay the same rate of tax as a degree holder. Even under this system, I am subsidizing someone who has had considerably more privilege than myself.
Yea, being able to customize with C++ is peferable for some people compared to vimscript/lisp/etc. Then you have the issue where emacs and vim can choke under reasonable file sizes. The other part is vim/emacs aren't as performant as they could be
Language naturally evolve over time in a way which allows efficient communication, so it's not something which should be controlled. The simpler a language is the greater number of people it will be able to be understood by.

The whole purpose of any language is facilitate communication between people. I would argue that the quality and usefulness of English has increased over time, as it would be very difficult to use English from even 100 years ago in conversation today, as it would lack the words to express every day topics.
You are correct.
I misread the article. We use different terms for this stuff internally, having both simple offset based, and continuation token based, which is essentially a mix between what the author describes as key-set and cursor based and using a different FE API.

IMO, the performance would come down to the underlying database query: you could get faster key-set in some cases, and faster cursor based in others if the query was hitting a good index and using fewer joins. Both approaches, "key set" and "cursor based" let you search based off index, so I don't see how one could be inherently faster?
That kinda of a symptom of a work culture that can only deal with crisis's and doesn't value steady strategic effort.

Affordable doesn’t mean your plumber pays for it. My brother took pre med classes at a community college for 400 a pop.
I'm not implying the inverse. See the comment I replied to for the context.
That means we'd have to change the name of the bird too, to keep up. ;)

Interesting. So what is your workflow right now?
If I understand correctly, the main difference is that in the EU you don't need to go to a private college.
Just guessing, but based on context, I think they meant their daily usage results in 2000kWh per month.
The first link is clearly in a studio environment, with extensive effort at production. That’s a lot more than “just walking up” to people and not editing.
There are several american stuff in what you say yes. Im French, raise my kids in China. For me college is not an experience, it's simply a place to learn a trade, it's serious, it's not supposed to have gym. The food can be basic. What matters are the teachers and I adored my French ones in a small city.

I wonder how much of that debt burden is due to the non-teaching part of college in the US: do students expect frats, dorms, gym, fancy cantine, exotic location, isolated modern campus ? Hell we barely had one 90s computer per student in some classes in France, and well it did the job just fine. It was in 2009.
I think of tattoos completely differently than you. I only have one(small, not visible). I view it more as a group identification than any sort of interesting personality. I've met plenty of boring people covered in tats. I also know and spend time with several interesting people covered in tats. It's more of a social identifier.
> But couldn't you make the same argument for guessing that it's higher iff the number is greater than 42?

Yep.

> Therefore, if the number is 9, both strategies tell you to do different things, yet in each case, your probability of winning is >½. There must be a hole in the logic somewhere…

For any nonnegative value C, the probability of Gaussian draw x being larger than (iid) Gaussian draw y is strictly bigger than 1/2 when conditioned solely on x > C.

The particular choice of C might change which specific draws of x and y the strategy succeeds with, but as you noticed for every C a thresholding strategy of the above form does give you some pointwise nonzero advantage over random guessing.
Though good and powerful editors, there are reasons why emacs and vim have a very small user share. (Everyone I know prefer VSCode when not using an IDE.) Even JEdit and Sublime each have a dedicated but a comparatively small userbase.
The more powerful processors become, the less I feel there's a need to build supercomputers.

Thinking about it, the most powerful supercomputer in the world is pretty much a million consumer processors, working in parallel. That's going to stay pretty constant, since cost scales roughly linearly.

If X is the processing power of $1k of consumer hardware, the bigger X gets, the less there is a difference in the class of problems that you can solve with X or X * 1e6 processing power.
Caveat: This is really great until you do hate it.
I am going to give out different statement than the consensus being formed in this thread.

It is a criminal act by any manufacturer to sell a computer with 8G of memory specially when it is not upgradeable.

Comparing this to the Monty Hall problem:

I did see Erdogan's worst fears come true just a couple days ago in a Youtube survey that was likely Google translated from English to German: https://postimg.cc/PCfv6NZb

Or who knows, maybe Saudi Tourism - who I'm pretty sure are behind the survey - knew what they were doing.
Maybe it'd be better if everybody used English

Or maybe not? hard to say
Is there really “extra money”? The chart of tuition does not tell us much about the total cost of a year of education, it just tells us the list price. In the 1970’s, the tuition cost at a state public institution was less than 10% of the total cost. Today, in state students pay about 50% of the cost, out of state more than 100% of the cost. Total Higher education costs have risen faster than inflation (as have grades K-12), but mostly not because of student loans.
It has been a source of frustration for me for some time that Business Insider, a cheap tabloid of no news value, has the occasional scoop. How can that be!

Horseshit articles like this are reassuring, somehow: once a tabloid, always a tabloid.

If your power outages are "once a decade or so", "do nothing" seems like a reasonable (likely optimal) point on the response curve if you're not dependent on electricity for literal survival.

This is our strategy in Cambridge, MA with some overhead supply lines, but it’s very rare to have an outage over an hour [the last one I recall was about 10.5 years ago]. We bought a few extra flashlights after that one.
> Given all the talk about OpenMP compatibility and Fortran... my guess is that they're largely running legacy code in Fortran.

The must used linear algebra library is written in Fortran. There's nothing "legacy" about it, it's just that nobody was able to replicate its speed in C.
Private Universities are in totally different niches over here (at least in Germany); they either cater to the elites (and sell high-level networking) and can charge pretty much whatever, or serve as a plan B for those kids who can't make it in the public system but have parents willing to buy a degree (also expensive) or in very narrow niches (there are some catholic ones I think), those tend to be cheaper. Since the public system is very good, there's little incentive to go to a private University otherwise. I don't think any of them charge as much as a good US college would, by a fair margin. Might be different in other EU countries, but I don't think it's that different.

Edit: And I would be extremely surprised if cost per student was that much higher in the public system than what I know people in one of the "plan B" private universities got charged, economies of scale and all that.
So in a country with around 75 million under-18s, that works out to an approximate risk of 1/500,000 per kid per year. And per the article:

> The most likely age group to be both shooters and victims are teenagers ages 14 to 17

Maybe we should make firearms safety and hunters education classes once again part of the school curriculum to prevent these accidents? Just like with driving classes, training and experience in a controlled environment is a great way to reduce the frequency of accidents. Although that assumes the incidents in question are accidents, rather than "accidents".
Huh. I see them here in the US just about everywhere. I've seen them at gas stations, grocery stores, and convenience stores. I eat way too many gummy bears probably.
Actually a great behavioral line of questioning - how clearly the the candidate can explain what happened, how they describe whatever part they played or mistakes they made...
Think about that for a second. 45Mbps. It sounded so huge. Even your low tier 25 dollar a month cable modem packages can outdo that. (Now they're nowhere near as stable, and they're definitely not synchronous) But in this age of Gigabit being pretty common, it's fun to remember a time when that was so far out of our reach. Some kid on his dorm room ethernet sharing his entire collection... and me on my brand new ADSL modem downloading song by song, minute by minute.
Italian here. Great English language skills, lived in SF for ~10 years until 2020.

A great trick is to keep some of your accent, so people would know for sure you're a foreigner, but also surprise them with words that only the most literate people would know.

How to do it? Easier if your native language is Italian and you studied Latin at school. There's hundreds of words like that that naturally come to you as the ones you would use if you had to say the same thing in your native Italian language.
This is also a feature, not a bug. There are plenty of other options for crypto yet they flock to Discord because it's an easy way to generate hype and attract "investors": the person most likely to buy into your crypto scam is someone who's already invested in other crypto scams.

Just the other day I saw someone joke that the tech crowd monitoring the failures of web3 should organize using a decentralized platform like Matrix because of the irony of all crypto/web3 communities (supposedly all about decentralization) using Discord as a centralised platform.
The academic industrial complex has since moved on to focusing on wealthy international students, a group that is even less cost sensitive than an American student with a blank check.
The argument I've seen and heard many times is that someone who was been fired before is likely to get fired again. Also applies to medical conditions. You don't want an employee who might get sick and not be able to work.
> the people who own it have no say at all in how it's run. and the people who run it (the managers or "executives"/bureaucrats who curiously do not actually peform the productivity-creating labor) cannot be really held liable for what the company does for it's only their job

I'm sure that's the case somewhere, but not really sure that it applies to this instance. In this case it sounds like the whole thing would have worked as intended if it had been a non-persistent user. 99% of people will just give up after hearing this sort of repetitive "no it's your problem" and settle for writing a bad review online.

The owners ultimately can hire and fire the people necessary to implement their standards, so the company as a whole will mostly tend to reflect their overall preferences over time.
Sure, but consumer hardware does not have infiniband or other high-bandwidth interconnects. That means you can have at most ~1-2TB of ram accessible at any point. Some problems need coordination, and when you're back at OpenMP etc., a supercomputer suddenly makes sense.
Surely it is weaker if we are counting npm like quantity of packages.

If on the other hand we are counting quality packages, all major ones are available.
The way to capture the content of a conversation like that, so that more than one person at a time can easily benefit from it, is in a theory of operation document with appropriate illustrations. Simple block diagrams will take you far before you need to specify something in the level of detail that the UML supports.

I like the range of approaches in the Architecture of Open Source Applications books:

The challenge is that there are different ways of "mapping" software.

You could map the way programs fit into machines, and the networks between them. This would be the topology.

You can map the way services call upon one another with requests. This is the service graph.

You can map how systems interact over events or shared resources. You could say this is the logical graph.

The problem happens when you try and graph them all at once. It's the same as trying to draw a real map, with all the services, bus routes, railways, shops and administrative regions superimposed on one image. It's very busy.

So I use separate maps.

Tools are another matter. Personally I use Mermaid for graphs. I also have my own tools that create SVG visualisations using DAGre. This can be helpful for interactive visualisations where you can click into different nodes and explore more detail.

My system uses CloudFormation templates and our in house deployment DSLs to figure out the "topology", then let the users see the different superimposed "graphs" as they see fit
Good for you. Personally I prefer my coffee to taste of berries or golden raisins or milk chocolate. I'm willing to pay a bit more it. I guess that makes me a hipster.
Definitely politics in play. "There are Kurdish authorities here to do good work with the Germans" is the statement they wanted to emphasize more than the archeology.
Why are tuition fees and student loans necessary? Instead of the government backing up or paying up the student loans, can't it just pay the university directly and then the student would study for free? (after perhaps some common sense adjustments to prevent abuse). Like in, you know, Europe.
Develop against CUDA locally. Port my kernels to ROCm, and occupy a whole HPC node for debugging and performance tuning for a week. It’s terrible.

Edit: I should say that their recommendation is to write the kernels in ‘hip’ which is supposed to be their cross device wrapper for both cuda or ROCm. I’m writing in Julia however so that’s not possible.
This is beautiful! I've been known to hate on stuff like that walrus operator being added, but this I love. So clean, simple and powerful. Thanks for sharing.
I have a Powerwall. It's price was competitive with a natural gas generator. I was surprised as well (I didn't expect the generator to be that expensive), but when they came within ballpark, the Powerwall was a no brainer.

It does (supposed to have) sustainability assuming it's backed by solar and you have enough sun (as with all solar caveats).

The best thing about the Powerwall is that it's not a standby system. It's active everyday. For my house, solar by day, battery by night, recycle, recharge, repeat.

This means that when the rare event comes, I don't have to worry (as much) about it not working because I didn't run the thing for 6 months. It can fail anytime, but at least I can, ideally, deal with it while the grid is up, rather than have it fail when it's actually necessary.

Also the power switchover is seamless.

The Powerwall experience is, indeed, very good.
Can you write SYCL code and compile it to ROCm for production?
Speeding ticket amount, only, please!
It's absolute bonker, the patent got granted. The current state of the patent system is a complete joke.
Lifetime TCO is the correct metric. Yes, a new car buyer is probably going to sell the car after 5 - 10 years. But he's going to be selling it to somebody who really does care about costs. If they didn't care about costs they wouldn't be buying a used car! So the second buyer is probably even more willing to pay a premium for an EV than the original buyer is.

Example: Save $2000/year in fuel costs with an EV, the EV has 3 owners, each for 5 years. The last owner should be willing to pay a $10K premium, the second owner a $20K premium and the first owner a $30K premium.
I'm most interested in Zig personally, but your broad characterization is extremely inaccurate. Odin is being used for a very sophisticated shipping commercial product (EmberGen), and Jai, while not publicly available, is objectively way beyond the level of a "toy".
