>A comprehensive survey of traditional societies in the world shows that 83.39% of them practice polygyny, 16.14% practice monogamy, and .47% practice polyandry. Almost all of the few polyandrous societies practice what anthropologists call fraternal polyandry, where a group of brothers shares a wife. Nonfraternal polyandry, where a group of unrelated men shares a wife, is virtually nonexistent in human society. Why is nonfraternal polyandry so rare? [0]

While human nature can change, something as fundamental as human sexual family unit preferences radically change from favoring polygny over an order of magnitude more than polyandry seems unlikely to be overthrown simply because of changes in democratic opinion on legitimacy of polyamory. Using history as an imperfect precedent, one could make an educated assumption the balance will tip towards leaving lots of unmarried men on the sidelines rather than unmarried women. Evolutionary constraints may also push against having women on the sidelines, since the sexual reproduction throughput is rate-limited by females. There is little evidence to suggest polyandry is as common as polygny.

It's possibly just some electrolytic capacitors on the main board or PSU that have gone out of spec or completely failed. Look around for capacitors with a popped out top.

Finding a motherboard with an 11 year old socket shouldn't be hard, unless it was a really obscure socket. Looking up the Intel socket I had in 2011, for example, yields plenty of options on Newegg.
Yes, but then the working parent comes back and can parent

I didn’t say parenting only takes 8-10 hours. That’s the time the working parent works

That still leaves time to parent when off-work
Do man pages count? (I'm not trolling... I often pull them up on the web rather than in terminal but they're incredibly useful.)
Does anybody know of something similar, but written in a more elaborate book-like fashion?

It's not about format, of course, it's just that all these model-zoo's are only half of the story — not useless, but rather incomplete. That is, if you learn a lot of them, one day you might remember something and find it useful — or you might not. This is a bit abstract, but I want to say you rarely ever need any special tools of thinking (or maybe even tools in general) — you want a technology. That is, a relatively broad (but precisely defined) instruction of how to identify and approach a set of problems in some domain. I.e., it is more about when to use a tool or technique, rather than being a exhibition of such tools. I mean, there is important difference — that's kinda the difference between going to college and going to a museum.

For example, GTD is a technology (doesn't matter good or bad). It tells you when to use tools/techniques suggested (and a better book would have more showcases and exercises to internalize the idea, IMO). This site or coursera's famous "Models Thinking" course — aren't.
It seems that this eliminates support prior to Kaby Lake. Is there any big difference between Skylake and Kaby Lake? Windows 11 does similar cut.
¡Cual cosa mais velha! (What a beautiful thing)

Yeah here in this opposite corner in South America, I'm thinking, older is better a ton of the time. Here (I guess there too) laptops get stolen. They're the number-one target of burglary, of which there is a lot, they take that and that's it. They split. That's all they want. Plus there's this, this vocé and I have in common, which is in these parts, South America, there's this belief the machine is magical, has a little spirit from America that is extra "comerciable" meaning fenceable. Like it's cooler and gives a better thieves's high they get (very common here a lot of people get highs from larcency) because it's an abduction. That ties into the fact these things are exotic and magical because they're not produced or fixed here, because that very same theft makes a fab unthinkable.
Car dealerships and the experience of being in one is truly like stepping into a different world/time. The only other industry that’s close is real estate. These types of businesses function as if the internet doesn’t exist. As if I can’t pull up the factory MSRP on my phone for a car, or find a house I want better than my realtor can on Redfin.

I think the sooner all car makers move DTC the better.
I mentioned this in the iPadOS thread, but it bears repeating here:

Of all the features mentioned, the one feature that I’m really excited for is the ability to mark text messages as unread.

On the other hand, did it really have to take 15 years to get here?
> I also have the original iPhone SE as my phone which I will probably get refurbished soon instead of getting a new one - all the new phones are too big.

That violates the right of first sale, if they don't want to keep upgrading the OS they gotta let the users fork it.

So right of first sale means if I buy an eg book, I have the right to sell it used. If I buy a computer, I have the right to sell it used. So it should not become a brick right when I'm selling it.
Yes SLOs are kind of like OKRs of sre management - they only ever as good as the objectives and objectives are often not set very well by senior leadership. Ultimately that stems from the fact that reliability is not valued by the market. You see a lot of the same things in security (outside of the boneheaded compliance cya).
I believe Gmail requires (or soon will require) authenticating with OAuth2 in order to use IMAP and SMTP. Thunderbird supports it, but I'm not sure about other email clients.

Just kidding, our entire industry is filled with titles that mean nothing. I agree, we should fix that.
This is pointless hairsplitting. RFC7686 is a DNS RFC, one that specifies and enables special application handling when stipulated conditions are met. Even if HTTP/3 defined its use of DNS records adequately, the special case still takes precedence and onion routing continues to occur in browsers supporting it.

In my view the use of a special-case TLD is deeply problematic since it contains the potential to leak your use of Tor via applications or resolvers that do not grok the exception, but that's a design problem for another day.

The problems with using host address records for service location are multifaceted but the most significant are a) their conflict with other services at the same label, most commonly when the web hosting requires a CNAME, which cannot co-exist with any other record, and b) they're crude; full-grown origin discovery could support priorities, fallbacks, protocol upgrades, variation by transport, alternate ports and more besides.
How do I deal with this when I move from an Apple to a non-Apple device (Android, Chromebook, Linux, Windows, whatever)?
With passwords it's straightforward. I just log in.
They solved this with a feature called “Recovery Contacts” in iOS 15(?). You can set them up and they’re people who cannot access your account but can help you regain access if necessary (such as your one device case).

I think you still need to know your password, but that’s pretty reasonable.

They also added a similar feature to allow you to get into a loved one’s account/phone after their death if they set it up.
Not many discussing the “continuity camera” as why the 720p builtin is okay.

Also the tech to merge the “desktop” view distortion-corrected seems pretty cool.
> SRE is Sysadmins but with better contracts between teams, and automation focused.

That's not even close to true, which I think is OPs point. For instance, I have an extensive SRE-SE background, but I'm also a software engineer. If I was tasked with "sysadmin" stuff, or shepherding peoples Jenkins jobs every day I'd probably lose my mind.
OK, thanks, I didn’t realize that.
My desktop is mostly from 2011. The GPU is only about 4 years old, but the case and many of the fans are at least 15. The newest drives are new SSDs. I ripped my whole CD collection with the current optical drive (DVD?) and a now-defunct one in 2001 or so (different case). The build started out as an Athlon XP, and then was a 64 bit AMD for a while.

These days, it's fine for 4K linux gaming. CPU performance really stalled out over the years. The original motherboard, ram, cpu, etc build was about $1000.

Many other computers and laptops have come and gone, but it's still my main home machine.
That's a good find!

I know someone who worked on mainframes with wire wrapped backplanes back in the day. He was the customer support technician sent out when all others failed. One time, he discovered that a customer's reliability problems correlated to folk riding the elevator before and after lunch.

I think you’re better off getting on a waitlist and seeing what allocations come in. I was in the market for a Highlander and my local Toyota dealership that’s selling at MSRP had 0 on the lot. I got on the list and the week after they got two in. They called 26 people and I was one of the only ones able to come in right when they called, so me and another guy got the two.

The Pico is a great product, but probably not what people are looking for when they say "Raspberry Pi". If there was an Arduino shortage and you said "just get a RP2040", that would be helpful. But people want Linux boxes that make their 3D printer 4% faster or whatever.

These use the DMC Redkid 2 "enhanced" Genesis/Mega Drive clone chips. These same chips were used in older AtGames clones as well (not the FlashbacK HD line though, those use emulation on an ARM SoC). In some sense, these are more "real hardware" than even an FPGA clone, but the clone has some flaws. It's also more configurable than the original hardware and the firmware configures it wrong, though at least this part is fixable with 3rd party firmware.

I remember learning Boolean math in grade 10. I thought it was the stupidest thing in the world.

Then later on I started learning Assembly and the lightbulb finally went on over my head. I finally understood it, and it totally made sense that what I'd learned in that class was super valuable.

Math is context.

Every time I have worked as an employee, I have been interrupted more, been in more wasteful meetings, watched most everyone fuck the dog and sell the pups. Literal hours wasted in visiting, chatting, snacking, staring into space.

In my experience, few people are honestly, properly working eight hours a day. They are productive no more than two-thirds of it. Far, far less in offices that are open-concept, have games tables, or go out for lunch; rarely more, usually as a short-lived crunch-time thing.

Which is to say a lot of people already work 80%.

Nonetheless I think it’s time to move to 5d x 6h @ 100% pay or 4d x 6h @ 80% pay. I think 4d x 8h will have almost as much time-wasting as we currently have, and is not worth consideration.
Thinkpad T430 for me.

Bought a couple for the kids used, in 2015, and they're still going strong, albeit both have had screens, keyboards and fans replaced. But that's the beauty - the replacements are cheap enough to be worthwhile, and you can perform the replacement yourself with basic tools.

It's a shame laptops don't have more standardized modular interfaces, like desktops, so that replacements would be commoditized, and you could mix and match parts.

Meanwhile I'm on my third macbook in the same period (needed for work), due to software support, gpu failure, keyboard failure, etc, all too expensive to bother fixing, and my latest takes 3-4 times as long to start up as the T430s running xubuntu...

Except that the video will freeze sporadically when she tries watching The Staircase on HBO Max.

After you go to the trouble of figuring which Chromium startup flags will get a minimally watchable streaming experience, she will then complain that the mouse is broken. When you ask her, "What do you mean the mouse is broken? I didn't touch the mouse," she replies, "I mean it doesn't move when I move it."

Then you'll notice that one of your Chromium flags has mysteriously caused sporadic jank for the mouse pointer. And you'll try to explain that it's not broken, there's just some kind of unpredictable latency in the pointer motion.

She'll then reply, "Right, it's broken."

And you'll stand there, defeated, staring into the frozen eyes of Colin Firth for five straight seconds as you finally begin to comprehend that "entry level desktop" doesn't mean what you thought it did.
Depends however on what the 3D acceleration supports in terms of features.

I was hoping to the long-awaited Reality Glasses this keynote. Something like a M2 on each lens could drive a 90 fps 2K display. The libraries are hinting at howAR/VR will be done-Metal-3, lidar, etc.
There are plenty of good choices

"2x in favour of the M1 which is astounding" False, Intel bests M1 in single core. and pretty close in multi core, i12 beats it and M2 easily. See: https://www.newegg.com/titanium-blue-msi-ge-series-raider-ge...
Though pricey, but it beats M1 Max too, so. This laptop completely destroys every SINGLE SPEC of M1 Air, MBP and MBP Max; except perhaps battery life.

M2 air has a webcam? Considering M1 didnt even have one, LOL, that was ... fast.

Fast charging? OK? So what? It's not like I'm gonna sit there and watch it charge. Gimmick, also fast charging wastes/ruins your battery much sooner, I'd rather slow charge 95% of the time.

Bloatware that can easily be uninstalled or opted out from at purchase time? I would consider all the shit APPLE installs BLOAT WARE too. Case and point, why do I need health app (that I need a subscription for), Apple TV app (I dont have it), Apple Home Kit. Hell I cant even uninstall some of these apps.

Resolution, is a tiny bit better, if you want better res there are better than Air res available easily, it's not exactly revolutionary and some people dont like higher res on a small screen. Example: https://www.walmart.com/ip/seort/955928442/

You are just grasping for straws and it's boring to respond. You were running 2 apps simultaneously? Wow, I run like 50 now. There was nothing really interesting with M2.

Greybeard sysadmin turned SRE-mask ops dude here, and this is correct. I've seen inside literally hundreds of orgs in my career, and almost always the real disconnect exists at the c-suite and board level. For a long time I blamed them for this dysfunction, but it tooks some years and maturity to start thinking more about how I can speak their language to reach their lofty, double-scheduled minds. Its a failure on both ends.

This is where a good CTO/CIO with actual leadership qualities will make or break an org, as they should usually be the SRE-esque visionaries, leaders, defenders. When that doesnt happen, and lets face it, it doesnt happen very often, you get cycles of "try this other ops/admin/swe/sre structure and management method" until it falls apart and new management tries something else or they start rolling heads right under the CTO/CIO until it becomes an 1000 and 1 nights. One of the biggest warning signs of this is when tech competent middle managers (worth their weight in gold) start jumping ship enmasse.
Most python code in the world is currently single threaded. It makes sense to me to start with the low hanging fruit that affects the majority of existing code and then move on to harder problems.

> An interpreter is still producing x86 instructions at some point, right?

Not dynamically. They just call predefined C (or whatever the interpreter was written in) functions based on some internal mechanism.

> Or else what does the CPU execute?

Usually either the interpreter is just walking the AST and calling C functions based on the parse tree’s node type (this is very slow), or it will convert the AST into an opcode stream (not x86-64 opcodes, just internal names for integers, like OP_ADD = 0, OP_SUB = 1, etc) when parsing the file, and then the interpreter’s “core” will look something like a gigantic switch state statement with case OP_ADD: add(lhs, rhs) type cases. “add” in this case being a C function that implements the add semantics in this language. (The latter approach, where the input file is converted to some intermediate form for more efficient execution after the parse tree is derived, is more properly termed a virtual machine and “interpreter” generally only refers to the AST approach. People tend to use “interpreter” pretty broadly in informal conversations, but Python is strictly speaking a VM, not an interpreter)

In either case, the only thing emitting x86-64 is the compiler that built the interpreter’s binary.

> Am I totally misunderstanding how interpreters work?

You’re confusing them with JITs.

If every interpreter had to roll their own dynamic binary generation, they’d be a hell of a lot less portable (like JITs).

I bought it to see if I could play movies from my phone. It didn't work, so I chucked it in a drawer.

More recently, I bought a 50" TV to use as a giant developer monitor, and this cable works better than my Dell's HDMI port. What happens is that the HDMI port can only do 4k at 30hz, but this does 4k at 60hz.

You'd think something like that wouldn't matter for an IDE, but shockingly, moving a mouse at 30hz is... Just... Weird.
