Eh, the expectation of going back to play games doesn't usually meet the reality. For the most part it's play for 1-2 months and then never pick it up again. Out of the couple dozen games I've bought on steam only 3 games really get significant repeat play. If that library went poof I'd only be out $50 or so. Compared with the cost of replacing a gaming computer it's insignificant.
It makes more sense if you look at it from the manufacturer/seller perspective. When customers are extremely price sensitive, what do you cut from your product?

There are plenty of answers to the question. But one approach is to make sure it looks as good and works as well for the return period, but doesn't last as long. E.g., you use less material, short the structure in favor of the surface, use lower-quality material, invest less in production quality, or offer shorter warranties.

For example, think of a raincoat. On one end of the spectrum we have the $0.99 disposable poncho, which is basically a garbage bag with a different cut. Up from there are all sorts of methods of improvement: https://www.rei.com/learn/expert-advice/rainwear.html

The better raincoats tend to be correlated with price because if a feature doesn't require additional expense, low-end manufacturers will just add it. And also because while many consumers aren't discerning about quality, many are, and will pay extra for it. Places like Wirecutter and Consumer Reports do the sort of testing that helps keep people honest.

That said, you're very right that there are many other things that influence price. A Burberry raincoat will be 10x the price of REI's favorite raincoats, but it won't last 10x as long. So Boots Theory, which is about good pairs of boots being more expensive than shoddy ones, is correct. But you can't work it the other way and claim that expensive things are always good in the way a night watchman thinks about his work boots.

I want to play certain VR games that I can't without a powerful PC.
I don't have the physical space for a PC and it seems such a waste to buy such a PC for a few tens of hours played.
I don't have any such service in my town (lag is really important in VR), but it would be perfect for me.
Hi, this took me 6 months to write, I've also tried as hard as possible to cross check all my references, and include them in the article in a way the reader can find the citations just like in academic writings.

Statements denoting speculation are started with words like 'presumably' or 'it is assumed that'.

I've also took an extra month to send the draft to many experts (part of whom are still active in the Xbox 360 scene) to gather feedback and make all the appropriate corrections. See the 'Changelog' at the end of the article.

I'm afraid I can only do so much. Just like you said, this is all voluntary work. I also keep a repo with all the manuscripts to correct all the mistakes after publishing any content (https://github.com/flipacholas/Architecture-of-consoles).

I don't know how else I could improve this, but I'm always open to suggestions.

I don't know what you mean with reorganization and editing.
I find the exact opposite - it is multiple orders of magnitude worse in chat than in forum or newsgroup type discussions. But I also had the pleasure of being in some very active and substantive discussions in both formats. Chat is so inefficient, particularly the part where we decided to put them all behind walls that search engines cannot pierce. So you can't find the conversation from 6 months ago that answered the exact question you have, you have to ask it again. It reminds me of IRC days where people created bots to re-answer FAQs.

This is likely something where it isn't something that can have an absolute worth put on the various technologies, but where it'll change from person to person, depending on how they like to interact with others, how comfortable they are in a real-time vs. asynchronous setting and so forth.

But that said, I do believe that all of the walls that currently exist (and yes, I know they've existed in the past, not like IRC was archived) as antithetical to the spirit of the Internet and the idea of sharing information effectively. We have yet to find the perfect medium that combines some level of privacy for those that want it but allows for information to be shared so it isn't lost to the annals of some chat log.
It's crazy how mutt still doesn't have native oauth support. I now there's external scripts, but this is a common authentication standard which is being neglected by developers. I wonder how many mutt users actually degrade account security to make their clients work without realizing the mistake.
Sure it is.

If more start to do it, it becomes an arms race. If a company is loading the compensation in other ways and coming in light on salary then their job posting becomes much less compelling for job seekers. So they have a choice: disclose the other compensation (in order to compete with the salary numbers of the other companies) or adjust their compensation to be heavier on salary so their numbers are in line with others.
Regarding tables, there is one trick: size of borders are actually weighted semantic separators, and should be in HTML, not in CSS.
Just look at the Date format field in the Preferences screenshot.
It's really hard to not find a more user-friendly way to do it, IMHO.

UI and UX matters more than developers care to admit.
Thanks quite neat. I use wallabag for this purpose currently.

I wonder if there is a way to automatically save an ePub/mobi version of this for use with an eReader. I'd love to have such pages pushed out an eInk tablet, e.g. emailed to a kindle email. That would be a killer feature.
Absolute least of my worries. Maybe if they spy on me enough they can figure out whodunnit when I get murdered, I'd really appreciate that.
Saw a video on Reddit where some MP brings this up and the other MPs laugh and ridicule him :(
I think it probably depends on the size of organization.

NIH is a problem in old and large organizations, which actually have a large roster of homegrown solutions.

On the flip side, I feel a lot of smaller organizations have the opposite problem, like a weird phobia against nontrivial code. Like you need a special license to implement a bespoke data structure or some graph algorithm.
and then the law would get struck down because, as said, washington state isn't allowed to regulate interstate commerce.
I think it's more like if you don't have a "partner", you can't afford to move to a big city like New York or DC, absent a technical degree that lets you have the equivalent of a dual income.

Then you have people who have more resources basically exploit that a year can be a long time.

Go back and listen to some Dan Savage calls from the twenty aughts. Both anarchists and democratic socialists seem to love that guy for some reason.

(Once I started having sex with girls too, and he couldn't seem to stop being weirdly transphobic, I stopped listening, though I appreciated being able to answer HIS question when he came to my university -- Danny boy definitely knows crypto means cryptography.)

Go back into the archives: when they're not being advised on how to produce the largest craps to literally poop on their partners (lots of lettuce apparently), they're often quite sociopathically[1] treating romance with this this weird attitude of "you told me the rules, and absent a just cause, you can't just dump (fire) me".

You can. Romance, like any other uh... "mutual association", is a form of at will employment, for lack of better phrasing.

In the real world, you can, in five seconds, go from first name basis to friends with one of the most powerful hackers in the world to "Mr" or "Ms" X even if you have a teaching certificate, doctorate or MD, because outside WORK folks don't really give a damn about your credentials - say the wrong thing, on the wrong day, you will be told to get in the ground with Jeffrey Epstein if you ever go out of your element that badly ever again and that hacker will never, ever help you again.

[1] There's a network of self identified sociopaths who've infiltrated the tech policy community BTW -- it's one of the reasons they closed that Russian embassy in Seattle, or so I heard in the hall at Defcon. Don't adopt a diagnosis like it's a Dalmatian born in the early 90s, it will end badly in both cases.

You don't know the half of it: I worked on Dalio's HR system, and what is really "interesting" is how the dots are put together.

First off: All dots are public. You know who is grading you well, who is grading you badly, and who is liked and disliked by each executive and manager you want. Imagine giving Ray Dalio a low score in Critical Thinking, one of the many categories. It's not going to be easy.

The dots are also put together to create a baseball card: An accumulation of what the company thinks of each person. And those scores are basically the review system, as you will be kicked out with a low enough average. You can, and should, look at the baseball card of someone you have to meet with, but you don't work close to, and act accordingly.

But the baseball card score is not just an average: Then two groups of people with different ideas of someone would give a middling score. Instead, scores are weighted with a sigmoid kernel. Said kernel takes, as its other parameter, the rater's score in that category. If the company believes that you are bad at something, your opinion doesn't matter. And since votes are public, you probably want to agree with the majority, as otherwise your lack of skill at evaluating that category could lead to people voting you lower in that category.

This mechanism is, as you might have noticed, pretty unstable. As my personal score changes the value of the dots I provided, every scoring iteration changes scores in ways that might never converge. Some people's scores would change wildly, as the people that rate them high, or low, had scores near the critical point of the sigmoid. Therefore, some determining mechanism was required to decide the final scores. Let's just say it stacks the deck in favor of executives.

So when you look at the Bridgewager version of this system, what you got was all kinds of little mechanisms that pushed really hard towards having the leadership being rated as the best at everything, and then having the leadership's rating be the most powerful force of them all. So every rating is performative, and you better be directionally agreeing with the top forces in the company. Rating honestly is something for only the naive and the politically powerful.

I wonder how far down this road Coinbase is going: Every little bit of the system matters to optimize for toxicity.
Exactly, it gets automatically void, not "sorry we won't respect that part". Thus the ECJ is in its very right to call that country in breakage of the treaty and apply whatever sanctions finds adequate, and that country has no stand to say "yes but". Because one cannot have their cake and eat it.
Service weapons are, obviously, returned. Privte ones are, obviously, not used during service. In Switzerland for example service weapons can br stored at home.

I'm using Outlook for the first time after more than a decade away from Windows, and I feel the exact same way. Just looking at the app is overwhelming and makes me want to panic-close it.

(Idk how it can have so much garbage all over the UI and still be missing basic features I care about, either.)

I'm going to try the web client today. Hopefully I can stick to that one.
I agree here. The firehose is 'downstream' from the client actually interacting with the API which is where all of the real tracking data would live. Giving Musk the firehose data is useless to him. Musk needs the user database, the web server logs and any historical data on any suspected bots that twitter already has collected over the years.

Twitter spam bots that offer to sell me bitcoin or start following me with a beautiful profile picture who just opened their twitter account and I don't know are pretty obviously bots to me. The former could be found using the firehose, but the latter wouldn't be detected until they tweeted something in the firehose.

If the firehose included DMs, new accounts (with all available signup and verification data), etc. then the firehose would be useful. Detecting bots using the firehose would only detect bots based on suspicious tweet content and nothing else.

Also, the firehose is a 7Mbps (compressed) stream. It takes substantial compute power to run just sentiment analysis and substantial storage to keep heuristics on that volume of data. Musk would need to spend some time and money and hire some people to just make sense of the full firehose.

Source: I worked for GNIP in 2012. GNIP used to re-sell the twitter firehose and was a twitter partner before they were acquired by twitter in 2014.

But then it is total nonsense to call this a “Linux backdoor”. A linux backdoor should mean a planted vulnerability in Linux itself.
Yes, when the entire value of the economy is predicated on mob sentiment.
8.6% is unexpectedly higher than anticipated for this metric, correct? Looking forward to this discussion - it’s become a pet topic of mine.

But will it include stock ranges too? This is where the huge discrepancy occurs between candidates.

Salary is almost always in a tight range at Microsoft at a given level -- but external candidates can get anywhere from peanuts (a so called "tier 1" offer) to jumbo stock allocations (a so called "tier 3" offer).
None of those seem much easier to understand than the others. I suspect this is a classic example of "let's take something that is really messy in pcre and compare it other more brief equivalents" but I could easily turn the regex into something more readable and I can find more help for the standard regex syntax than I can for any alternative.

As other's have said, it is a minor arguably cosmetic improvement and something that is likely easier just to use a visual helper like regex101 to help you construct.
I mean, yes? But it's kind of missing the forest for the trees. Regex searching isn't limited to "did it match or not," but also to finding where the regex matched in the first place. For example, let's say you want to match all words except for 'foo'. You might write, '\b(!foo)\b', where the '(!re)' syntax means "complement of 're'." That would then match 'bar', 'baz' but not 'foo' in 'bar foo baz'.

It's like how character class set notation has a 'negation' feature. e.g., '[a-z]' matches a-z, but '[^a-z]' matches anything except for 'a-z'. So you might say, "why bother with adding negation when you can just check if the original char class would fail?" The answer is that without negation embedded in the regex itself, you miss out on composition.

This is another reason why features like complement and intersection aren't particularly popular. They are weird to reason about. Another reason is that many of their use cases can be achieved through other means. For example, my example above could conceivably be done by iterating over all words (using word segmentation, for example) and just checking whether each matches 'foo' or not. It could also likely be accomplished through the use of negative look-around, commonly found in backtracking regex engines and not finite automata based regex engines.
I used to have a G5 Mac living a second life as a doorstep with a “property of Microsoft” sticker on it because they were used as early alpha devkits for the 360. Given away at the company I worked for a year or two after the 360 shipped. Rumour has it they were even delivered at the dead of night so no one would see the MS branding on Apple hardware.
Privacy is important, but in this particular case I just want to hide low quality search results.

It's not nitroglicerine, it's fucking hard work to get a regulus to go supercritical. No plausible deniability if it does, you'd have to design it totally differently.
Just taking a stab in the dark, I guess we won't know until the M2s are out. On the site by the researchers, they have been in talks with Apple since 2021 about this. To there may be a fix in the M2. However, we won't know for sure until the M2s are out in the public and in the hands of researchers. I don't know what the turn around time is for silicon design on an Engineer's desk to TSMC to being placed in a board on a Mac. It could be that it was too late in 2021 to make a change.
I want to be snarky and compliment you on your clairvoyance while pointing out that you are only guessing, and instead I'll just ask why you think this kind of thing is never coming, given that some companies already do this.
Several significant discussions about Mutt in the past couple years (and earlier):

Salary bands are tied to title. If the max range of the listed position is $160k, and the company wants to hire you for $200k, they will just hire you into a more senior title (which has a higher range).

This is how it happens now, and how it will still happen. Disclosing the initial range target does not prevent it.

I describe tailwind to people as a lightweight, classname-based abstraction over vanilla css rules.

Unlike bootstrap where the button classname represents a collection of inherently opinionated and obfuscated css rules, the classnames map directly to the rules themselves - without any obfuscation behind a button class or opinions about what a button is. You can look at a tailwind classname and understand exactly what css rule is being applied.
It's universally repulsive at first sight. Everyone who loves tailwind said "hell no" - but they pushed through it and ultimately understood the value in it.

The reason that Bootstrap can't continue to exist as it does currently is because our js implementations have taken center stage and bootstrap requires a js implementation for many of its components. This means to use bootstrap with react for instance, you need a third party lib like reactstrap.

Tailwind is JS agnostic and frees you up to use the react (ng, vue, etc) ecosystem's idiomatic implementations for things like tooltips without adopting an entire bootstrap abstraction like reactstrap. Any respectable UI lib will allow you to pass classnames as props. You just pass in some tailwind classes as props and call it a day.

If your initial reaction is "this is ugly" I encourage you to dig deeper. Imagine never having to think of a name for a css class or context switch in to a 400 line css file to figure out what button means.
I like tailwind :)
top talent gets hired outright, based on their prior work

potential top talent might get turned away yeah - if they can't leetcode and have nothing impressive on their resume, but that's acceptable
If you're using a component-based architecture (e.g. when using React, Vue or Angular), otherwise it can get pretty annoying. But if you do, it's pretty great; you don't really need the abstraction of reusable classes, when you already have reusable components, and getting rid of useless abstractions makes me a happy programmer.
Not just startups, established companies as well. My employer (technically not itself large but a wholly owned subsidiary of a high-ranking Fortune 500 company) has been undergoing a long process of moving almost everything into the cloud and deprecating on-prem resources.

The way they've done this was almost comically silly at first: letting every one of our scores of data scientists provision 32 or 64 node clusters all day, every day, without (initially) any thought or guidance given as to how to control costs. At some point they decided this was too expensive and switched cloud providers, even though the cloud provider wasn't the problem.

Now I have people breathing down my neck every time I need a decent amount of compute for something ... it pains me to think of what kind of on-prem setup they could have stood up for the tens of millions (or more?) they've spent moving to "the cloud".

I suppose they have big water issues due to constant droughts and bad irrigation systems, perhaps hyper-dense population and constant war-alike status also impact much but...

And do not undervalue the energy part, pumps for instance can run on p.v. but most tractors, farm equipment run on diesel, witch is not produced locally and cost money. Food supply chain/transformation industry need energy, sometimes in important quantities to keep foods cold or to lyophilize them etc.

Energy does not make foods alone, but it's an important piece of the game.
So it works like a “real” virus back from the good old DOS days? Neat. Evil, but neat.
Even if someone is hurling a monstrous slew of verbal insults at you, hitting them is both morally wrong and illegal.

Today's awareness of mental trauma and triggers is a good thing, but it blurs the line a bit between physical and verbal attacks. Personally, I strongly believe that words should be treated fundamentally differently than physical violence. Sticks and stones, etc.

That said, if you're the one hurling insults, you're intentionally trying to evoke an emotional response, and you should not be surprised if the person you're insulting responds emotionally and violently.
I replaced one in 2019 and had to make an appointment at the Social Security Office days ahead of a time and wait 2 hours there in person. The web form existed, but I wasn't eligible.
