> All smart phone has hardware volume buttons. My Bluetooth earphones have hardware play and pause buttons.

I don't care much about volume buttons - it's usually adjusted to what I think is right and rarely tweaked.

What I care about is buttons to control the tracks: there are no next/previous track and play button on the smartphones I tried.

> And the device we are comparing it against (the new Sony Walkman) is also touchscreen based like smart phones.

It also has actual hardware buttons.

> So there isn’t really anything between modern Walkmans and smart phones these days

Well, if you exclude the buttons I care about, yes.

> when I’m listening to lossy music

You do, but I don't!

> The real differentiator there is what (ear|head)phones

Agreed, it's often the limiting factors. I had played with FLAC files before but couldn't find much of a difference.

Now that I have proper headphones and earbuds, I do!! And it's actually why I'm waiting for proper neckbad earbuds to consider exercicing with music: just like I don't want to listen to lossy music, I don't want to be exposed to bad earbuds.

Whose culture?
Since we're on this topic: any notably good insurance companies that folks would recommend if we're talking privately purchased disability insurance?
Even the cheap ones taste good if you deep fry them.
> probably conciding with the rise of Internet culture and online connectedness

Possibly also related to the greater ease of accessing, e.g., sports on TV compared with 10-15 years ago - now you don't need a satellite dish etc., you can just stream Sky Sports over the internet which cuts out the need to find a pub showing whatever match you wanted (assuming you're not doing it as a social activity.)
Wait, what do you mean by food shortages in Holland, and especially ones caused by the EU?
> When I was growing up in America, people said they "had to stand in line" but now they say "had to stand on line"

Is this a generational/regional thing? I'm an East Coast millennial and I never hear people say "stand on line."

The "in a minute" example I believe comes from AAVE, if it was present in The Wire it was probably common in the Baltimore lexicon long before that show hit HBO.
Is it relatively easy to get back to Chicago from the eastern terminus of the bike trail?
It seems to have been at least trying to cross, as it had been crossing for the past couple of days delivering rock to a levee project [1]. If you look at the crossing on Google maps [2] it's clear that the crossing is not at right angles. If the dump truck had been northbound at the crossing (and I don't know if it was), the driver would have had to turn his head more than 90 degrees to the left to see the train (which was coming from the west).

Local residents had apparently been warning of the danger of this particular crossing for some time [1]. A mockup of the accident scene is at [0].

The lawsuits have begun [3]. One of the suits alleges that the trucking company failed to properly maintain its equipment, which suggests to me the possibility that the truck stalled on the tracks.

Worse than that, you get multiple often conflicting minute updates on on-goings <<insert current event of interest>> often filled with less and less facts and more sensationalism chasing maximum number of clicks, follows, thumb ups, likes, etc.

If your hardware is not too old. I still have 2 PCs that don't have 64 bit support. They still run Xubuntu 16.04 just fine, but have not upgraded or used them after that when out of support.

Which distro offers x32? (Haven't checked, might be a stupid question...) I understood it was a great idea at the time, but implementation took a while and the world had moved on when it was finally ready.
That's a good point.

Not only people tend to drink less nowadays but also when people mention these kinds of development (like movie theater decline and so on), they forget to mention all of these are just different kinds of entertainment.

And there has never been so many ways to entertain oneself so the competition is stiff.

A website of the changes is useless for any amount of complexity as you can't step through the code properly.
Since there are already lots of good ideas in this thread, here's an off-the-wall suggestion for income: cam modelling. A lot of people in similar situations (struggling to hold down a steady job due to needs for flexibility around disability, health, family, etc.) get into it because it can be a quick source of income. "Camming: Money, Power, and Pleasure in the Sex Work Industry" by Angela Jones is a great study of the industry and people's journeys if you want to read more about this.

Sounds like they're not paying their staff enough. If they're not having trouble with staffing on busy nights, but are on quiet ones thats a pretty sure sign that they need to raise their pay. On busy nights staff might be okay with the lower pay thanks to tips, but otherwise its likely more profitable for them to go work somewhere else that pays better.

To the extent possible, organize time. Lots of comments here about specific activities that I'd agree with, but, specially with kids, life can become complicated, and there is always something unexpected or pending. Decide what sort of activity should happen daily, weekly and monthly, so that needs are covered, to the extent possible, and expectations are clear. Very important for stability in general.

Activities don't have to be set in stone, and can change as needs change. I'd start with things like time for the child to be with each parent, time all together, time for the parents, time to get chores done, outside activities... Maybe the time with the child later splits into play time and read time, for example.

Having done this helps when later they ask for other things e.g. tv or videogame time, that need to be limited.
I don't know if you're looking for something less technology focused, but—have you ever seen Scratch? I teach classes in Scratch to kids professionally, and I happen to think it's a really excellent tool. Kids enjoy it a lot, and it teaches a mode of thinking that I consider essential for the modern world.

https://scratch.mit.edu/

My company's curriculum is all public. I frankly don't love all of the projects, but some are pretty darn good. A few of my favorites:

Ghostbusters (Level 1): https://coding.space/launchpad/GqrsER3FnGgSZwyTYgkkDdyyty92-...

Apple Catcher (Level 2):
https://coding.space/launchpad/703c1a8d-0c55-4bcb-b3ef-832ee...

Flappy Bird (Level 3):
https://coding.space/launchpad/703c1a8d-0c55-4bcb-b3ef-832ee...

This isn't necessarily the be-all end-all way to teach Scratch (there are also official tutorials you can check out), but especially if you as the parent have some coding knowledge, they might be a fun way to learn together. Our philosophy is to provide a goal and some direction (for students who need it) without ever saying exactly what to do. This forces students to learn how to figure things out on their own.

Tiny note, notwithstanding my earlier praise of Scratch, it has one very frustrating design quirk that you might want to be aware of: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31932147
Man’s search for meaning is certainly inspiring. If you read, it’s worth adding to the queue even if you aren’t experiencing hardship. It’s a tough read at times.

I agree about being honest about handicaps. Especially if you know they can get in the way. People can easily forgive that when they know what to expect. I’ve been more upfront about it and having no issue finding work, but I feel far more at ease as a result. I’m even getting older; I’m 36 with a mild disability. I would have thought I’d be unemployable earlier in my life. Good people exist, and they get it. Definitely seek them out.

As for the search for meaning. I read that at a dark point in my own life and the main thing I got from it was perspective. What he describes is unimaginable. What I was experiencing was very imaginable. I found that very helpful.

Stoic philosophy has a sort of “zooming out” mechanism used to remind the practitioner how small they are in the scheme of things, how little their troubles matter, and Man’s Search For Meaning is an incredible tool for accomplishing this. Very few people can truthfully say their struggles are greater. It’s a window into how fortunate most of us, even with our hardships.

Chronic pain is legitimately hard to mentally distance yourself from though. Don’t hold it against yourself if reading the book doesn’t allow you to do so. I had chronic sciatica for around a year once and while I was young and stupid, I don’t think I’d handle it well today either. It was disabling in a truly unflagging and monolithic sense. I have no idea why it went away, but I can genuinely feel a sense of relief each time I think of it. It was torture.

Above all I would say don’t blame yourself or imagine you should do better or differently or whatever. Each step is part of it, whether it’s a good or bad step. You do the best you can with what you’ve got, mentally and physically, and no one said any of it would be easy. To be depressed about it is understandable. To be tired of it is as well. Struggling makes sense. Don’t hold that against yourself, if you do at all, and hopefully that can provide some relief.

Best of luck OP, and hopefully the traction this post got helps you see that people care, they understand, they relate. You aren’t alone.
Now consider all the ideas starved for attention coddling old wealth, salary feudalism, military industrial complex, and consumption of resources ostensibly to send future humans who don’t exist yet into space, at the expense of people living now.

I don't know what you're supposed to see, but the first thing it did to me was make the whole room go dark, then saw some geometric patterns, followed by the silhouette of a man with light exploding out from his limbs, and finally saw a long tunnel heading away into the distance. Funky.
To add on to this comment, many public benefits are based off of financial households (who shares bills), rather than physical households (who happens to live under the same roof). For example, SNAP eligibility calculation is based off of who purchases&prepares food together. If you purchase and prepare food separately from the family you live with, then your SNAP household size is 1 (just you) and is based off of only your own income. Even if you don't think you'll qualify, it's worth applying because a) the benefits you receive are based off of application date and b) your caseworker may know of unobvious ways to adjust your income so you are eligible.
Keto can be a bad diet even after removing sugar and most carbs if one eats keto junkfood. Any person that had success with keto also understood and some point that food quality, and particularly fat quality, is a must. Instead of omega-6 from seed oils one should supplement with omega-3s via high quality fish oil. The bulk of the fat should be saturated and some monounsaturated fat.

Keto with good fats and eliminating keto snacks (and the snacking behavior altogether), can work absolute miracles. There's no question eliminating sugar and even most carbs will greatly diminish inflammation and improve energetic output via ketones and bypass the overworked carb pathways.

Anyway, such a moonshot diet exists, and it's zerocarb keto, some call ketovore, meaning mostly meat very high fat diet. Reddit has a r/zerocarb sub for the generic (not deliberately high fat) version.

I'm going to contact OP by email because I have a lot of experience with this, along with other advice for supplementation, etc.
Anyone downvoting this post is a douche, because this, fellas, is pure gold.

I'm honestly surprised that someone on Ladyada's staff would link to an article by the highly transphobic and racist Bryan Lunduke. As recently as March of this year he was deliberately deadnaming and misgendering a prominent ElementaryOS developer.

It would be interesting to compare the number of pubs with the total number of establishments that cater to eating and drinking, e.g. including cafes, restaurants, night clubs, etc.

I always wonder - why people bother with Uncle Bob?
Guy has some opinions, but lack any notable experience and knowledge.
The only known project that he contributed (and constantly mentioned in his videos) - FitNesse (https://github.com/unclebob/fitnesse), but 59 commits doesn't make him look like an expert.
Let's analyze 3 real cores.

A100 has 6912 cores (excluding tensor as they don't do 32-bit float math). Each core does 2 (32-bit) floats per cycle and runs at 1410MHz peak frequency. It is 826mm^2 and has an official 300w TDP. This yields 19491.84 GFLOPS.

Threadripper (Zen 3) has 64 cores. Each core does 32 (32-bit) floats per cycle and runs at 4300MHz. It has 8 CPU chiplets (80.7mm^2 each) and one IO die (416mm^2) for a total area of 1061.6mm^2. This chip yields 8806.4 GFLOPS.

Alder Lake has 8 P-cores and 8 E-cores. If you have an unlocked chip with AVX-512, that yields 64 (32-bit) floats per cycle running at up to 5.3GHz along with 32 (32-bit) floats per cycle running at up to 4GHz. Die area is around 215.25mm^2 (though much of that die area is taken up by the GPU) and it has a TDP of 150w (peak 241w). This chip yields 2713.6 GFLOPS for the P-cores and 1024 GFLOPS for the E-cores for a total of 3737.6 GFLOPS.

The first thing of note is that orders of magnitude is a gross overstatement as there isn't even a single order of magnitude of difference between the slowest and fastest systems here.

Dividing GFLOPS by die area gives 23.60 GFLOPS/mm^2 for the A100, 8.30 GFLOPS/mm^2 for the Threadripper, and 17.36 GFLOPS?mm&2 for the Alder Lake. Considering the GPU size of the Alder Lake, I suspect that GFLOPS per die area actually favors Alder Lake over the A100 (though this is also somewhat offset by the presence of tensor cores and other non-related stuff in A100).

Also noteworthy is that power is a much weirder metric due to how turbos affect all the things. I suspect this is where the A100 has a major advantage not to mention real GFLOPS dropping off steeply in long-running workloads (though this will affect all of these systems to greater or lesser degrees).

On the flip side, I should add that branchy code dramatically slows down actual performance on a GPU while only slowing down a CPU when a misprediction happens (in theory this should be only 1-5% of cases).

A more interesting question would be Alpha EV9 with it's proposed 1024-bit SIMD unit running at around 2GHz. That chip would have delivered 256 GFLOPS of performance per core around 2005. Scaling to a modest 32-core chip at 4GHz gives a very impressive 16384 GFLOPS while retaining all those CPU advantages too.

This leads to the observation that adding large SIMD/vector units to a CPU isn't really hard. A small, in-order core with very wide vector units running at a slower speed to conserve energy seems like an interesting idea and several startups are working in this direction (not to mention this being the basis of Intel's Larabee and later Knight's Corner designs).
For someone that understands this topic better than I, what's the difference between the target audience or information from this site compared to something like https://www.matweb.com?
It’s possible, it’s just convoluted, introduces a weird circular dependency, not always the behavior you want in the general case, possible to do without requiring changes to the IAM service via cloudfront or terraform, would require IAM to support every single possible “delete” variant (delete an instance with a backup? Without one? Final RDS snapshot name? Etc etc), would need to recursively delete resources, would require a complex set of APIs to track the asynchronous deletion process, and as stated several times before completely ineffective against conditions where the role hasn’t been deleted but the service cannot assume it. Which leaves you in exactly the state you’re trying to avoid.

In short: it would be a confusing mess for nebulous gains that doesn’t pass any kind of smell test. Instead they should just… fix the AWS batch service.

The better solution is to provide an API and console tab to show you what services last used the role, when they used it and how they used it. Which is what they do.

There's huge value to them in being the only people who know how many people subscribe for the video and how many people subscribe for the shipping.

There certainly is no shortage of people who believe as you do in collectives. Go ahead and form one with them.

> you want to argue without really thinking about what I am saying

I've thought about it for many decades. I'm not trying to suppress your discussion, ideas, or any efforts you may make towards creating a (voluntary) collective.

Feel free.

BTW, I read somewhere that over 10,000 collectives had been created in the United States. Where are they now? Oh, they all failed.

I think Bob’s message here is right, but the phrasing is scaring folks off. Maybe “lack of discipline” comes off as pejorative? Perhaps “lack of emphasis on quality” would be more popular?

Quoting from “tools are not the answer” (http://blog.cleancoder.com/uncle-bob/2017/10/04/CodeIsNotThe...)

> The author of the article interviewed many thought leaders in the industry, but chose only those thought leaders who were inventing new technologies. Those technologies were things like Light Table, Model Driven Engineering, and TLA+.

> I have nothing against tools like this. I’ve even contributed money to the Light Table project. I think that good software tools make it easier to write good software. However, tools are not the answer to the “Apocalypse”.

> Nowhere in the article did the author examine the possibility that programmers are generally undisciplined. The author did not interview software experts like Kent Beck, or Ward Cunningham, or Martin Fowler. The author completely avoided the notion that the software apocalypse might be avoided if programmers just did a better job. Instead, the author seemed convinced that the solution to the software apocalypse – the solution to bad code – is more code.

> I disagree. Tools are fine; but the solution to the software apocalypse is not more tools. The solution is better programming discipline.

If you step back for a second, this is basically the main gripe you see repeated on HN; business/PM is always in a hurry, the pressure is always to cut corners, nobody has time to build things right/properly.

His point is that in this environment (most software environments) just sprinkling some TLA+ in there is not going to solve the problem. If your PM is always rushing you can you imagine them letting you pause on delivering features to prove your system is correct? Most shops do not care enough to justify this expense.

I think by phrasing it as discipline Bob makes it sound like it’s the fault of individuals, where in fact I think a lot of people would like to spend more time on quality but just don’t have org buy-in. (But there are sloppy/undisciplined individuals too.)
The exact same thing happened to me, and this is how I discovered algorithmic complexity. Sorting my triangles took forever (I saw it in the profile, taking a whopping 90% of the time ) and I eventually figured there might be a proper sorting algorithms out there.

I was at the same time happily churning out assembly code, talking to the vga card, writing a dos extender, etc.

Also, the UK is still a nice place to live, probably nicer than it used to be at the height of the empire - just witness how many people are trying to move there, even ilegally. Large parts of the empire were money sinks, as was the huge navy needed to protect it.
A friendly reminder that crypto is negative-sum. If everyone who has taken money out returns it to everyone who has put money in, then there's a net loss.

Why? Because money was taken out to pay the electric companies for mining, to the tune of 10-20Bn so far.

Has that money generated real returns anywhere? Nope. Nothing was manufactured, created, or improved.

The sum is negative. All past and present holders of crypto, on net, are down 20bn -- and havent yet realised it.
