Silicon Valley success has nothing to do with "failure is a key", it has to do with the infinite money they print and the tax benefits VCs get as a result

What people buy from Silicon Valley nowadays? nothing, they become millionaire before getting their first customer

SF is becoming a shit hole, 0 infrastructure investments, everything goes to few pockets, and they move

The best EU can do is to not replicate that and tax the shit out of everything that's coming from the US, so they can develop and grow in peace without the toilet paper payers coming destroying everything

Also your comment on failure is not allowed in EU is wrong, it is allowed, if you fail you get a ton of help

The problem EU has is every success story either get stopped net by US lawyers, or they get purchased with toilet paper money

This is not true. The contract just needs to have consideration. It doesn't have to be "fair" in your opinion.
Figure 3 (on the right) looks a lot like putting the memory controller back on the north bridge chip. And there’s reasons the memory controller was moved onto the CPU in the first place. Most workloads are very latency sensitive, with low latency ddr4 dimms outperforming much higher bandwidth ddr5 dimms.

The stock market is roughly 20% off its highs.

It went down 25% at the start of covid, just two years ago.

In 2008 it went down 57%

Obviously money is a big factor, software engineers are reputed to earn large starting salaries, like medical doctors and lawyers.

Another factor is that after sports stars, the likes of Bill Gates, Steve Jobs, Jeff Bezos, etc are associated with programming and that's where so much of the startup action is too.

So then why study electrical engineering, which is heavy on theory, calculus, minimal lab work and a Dilbert-like reputation?

Disclaimer: I have an EE degree, worked as a certified engineer for 10 years and then defected to the dark side, PhD in SE and 20+ years in IT. When I look at returning to EE design work & project management (which I really did enjoy) the salaries being offered immediately dash any further interest.
One simple algorithm, just to convince you that this is possible, would be as follows:

* All of the members generate a key-pair, and introduce themselves to each other with their public key as their identity.

* After a certain time interval, all members individually pick their own random number, and publish just the hash of it, thereby "pre-committing" to it (signing it with their private key).

* Once all the hashes are known, the members reveal the random numbers that were the inputs (and the other members check that they hash to the pre-committed values).

* The members then XOR all the random numbers together (and then maybe hash the result) to produce a single final random number.

* That random number is reduced modulo the number of members, producing a number which is then used as an index into the list of members (sorted by public key).

There are edge cases with malicious or badly connected nodes potentially dropping out at each stage, so this requires a bootstrapped consensus system that can agree on which nodes are bad and punish them financially.
i mean, of course i want the best THINGS for my bucks, so advertising good wares is kind of desirable...

but perhaps that is not enough. perhaps the scope needs to include production of wares: i dont just want inferior wares to not be advertised, but rather not even made. time, effort and resources wasted on trash products are a shame we are going to feel painfuly in the coming decades if humanity ever wakes up from the capitalist dream

To some people (myself included), forming a union contract is an improvement in itself, even without any immediate changes. If conditions are already good for workers, unions can help keep them good.
In an ideal sense, yes. Unions as we know them (including in this case[0]) tend to operate as separate entity / business. There are the employees, the employer, and the union. The three often have little or no overlap, so it just becomes another layer of communication / cost of business. They will likely be able to negotiate the things the employees wanted, but it comes at a non-zero cost to both sides. By contrast, if the organizing group had gone directly to the store management, what would the outcome have been? It's entirely possible it would have worked out the same, and it's possible they did that first - it's not mentioned in the article if their concerns were first voiced to management, or if they went straight to unionizing.

So that's a pretty good result for something relatively obscure!

But there must be some sort of re-encoding going on there. Because the copy of Django I ripped myself is 61.5GB, and it's only video and one DTS audio track. So I would put money on the copy you found being re-encoded somehow.

It is a definition, which is needed when you need to make plans and decisions, as in any other case. It does not mean that reality changes because of an agreement, of course, even if mixing the two might be tempting when trying to discredit politicians as a whole. That is an evergreen :)

That's surely worthy of more serious scientific study. It definitely wouldn't surprise me to see a strong correlation between code quality/ correctness and background distractions (not just audio) at the time of it being written. Or at least between the rate of correct code output and level of distraction.
Personally I very rarely find any benefit to having music playing while coding, unless it's to block out other sounds I can't avoid. Whatever increase in immediate enjoyment there might be would be quickly canceled out by the realization I'm not focused 100% on the task at hand and making silly mistakes/taking too long over it.
Censorship resistance is truly blind. That's a feature, not a bug.
I also liked that they fixed the biggest niggles w/ Gen2 (higher DPI display, 2 x M.2 storage, DP1.4 w/ the USB-C - rare to see any OEM actually fix the shortcomings of the previous verson). If it were a Ryzen 6000, I'd almost definitely upgrade, however, per Tuxedo's announcement [1], the 35W 5700U (Lucienne, so Zen2, not even Zen3 core) basically just matches the 54W 4800H in performance - great from a noise/heat/power efficiency perspective, but sadly, a total sidegrade when it comes to perf.

"This way the 5700U reaches the already high-end performance from its AMD Ryzen 7 4800H-54-watts-equipped predecessor, but it comes with significantly better power efficiency, delivering on-par-performance with over 30% less power consumption!"

>there is no point in asking the customer what they need because they wouldn’t know until it is given to them.

Although I understand the sentiment, I have to disagree with it. The mindset that people are either: uninformed, misinformed, or unaware of what they need is a kind of idea that pushes one towards a sort of syndrome that assumes:

1) The public, as a whole, is too stupid to think for themselves

2) The public, as a whole, needs YOU to show them how "forward thinking" (smart) you are (and how stupid they are)

If we draw out that line of thinking a bit further, it also seems to hint at this tedious Western idea that, "If I don't do this, no one else will". In my view, that is not so much an entrepreneurial mindset, and moreso sheer, unrestrained arrogance. It is a roundabout way of saying, "No one else will ever do this, because only I CAN do this." It assumes that you are the defacto - the ONLY - creator of new things.

I dislike that because although there surely are stupid people in the world, however, we are also PART of that public. This mindset works more to separate us from "the horde" and throws us into this "put upon" position, that it is only by our own doing that any progress can possibly be made. This is illogical and irrational. There are surely thousands upon thousands of others who are willing, able, and trying to achieve the same goals. Of those many thousands, surely there are hundreds among them that could design and implement it far better than ourselves. The only differentiating factor then, is:

1) Marketing

2) Market dominance

3) Profitability

TL;DR people know what sucks in life. They know this instinctively because they live their life every single day. They know what could be done better. Thinking that "only I can show it to them" in a fancy little package leads to an overwhelming amount of arrogance. It ignores competitors. It ignores that we are a PART of the public. This kind of mindset is detrimental, if not outright counter to its own goals. The focus must instead be on improving implementation, design, and ease of use.
Yeah “homebrew” is a pretty well-known term within the community to mean non-official.

Interestingly, DandDWiki is somewhat notorious for being less than accurate in many articles, I wonder how much of that reputation is potentially attributable to this phenomenon of mixing up homebrew and official content.
The article is actually good. The criticisms of DRY here are valid! For criticism 1, I had a coworker once say something that resonated with me:

"Just because two things are the same right now doesn't mean they _should_ be the same."

So that criticism is totally valid - DRY has to be applied only when things _should_ be the same, and that can actually be hard to identify.

That being said, of course the title of the article is bad and not accurate. DRY is essential. I don't think there's many people that actually argue against it. If you have a piece of business logic that's essential to the business and it influences other pieces of logic, they all have to refer to the same definition. Repeating it is bad for everyone - users will see inconsistent behavior, and devs will have to "remember" (read: never actually remember) to update important logic in multiple places. Important things should have a single source of truth. That seems inarguable to me.

It can be hard to find a design that actually achieves that. That's not DRY's fault.
> The same talk show people now talk about how we have a heat and not a power problem, so we don‘t need the nuclear power.

Which is even more ridiculos because heat is the primary product of nuclear reactors. Their thermal rating of a nuclear reactor is about 3x the electrical rating.
> I'm surprised that they haven't heard of the possibility of energy storage.

They have probably heard of it, most probably they also know that it isn't scalable. It might be scalable, in I don't know how many years, but the here and now (and especially the coming winters) is closer to the EU electorate than some possible technological breakthrough that might or might not happen.
That's where you need to consider practicality, and it degrades quickly. If it's fairly simple and compartmentalised code without external dependencies like services running on server, you could consider transpiling to target runtimes. But most likely at that stage you'll call a remote function through an API when you need that business logic on the client.
It's interesting to note that this principal doesn't just need to apply at a low level, e.g. code. It continues to add value when designing application architecture. Or, can be used to help refine features.
I'm in the same camp, I've slowly "regressed" backwards from overcomplicated SPA's back to server side rendering. When LiveView hit and I was already using Phoenix it was just perfect. It's a slight embelishment on top of multi-page server rendered pages which gives all the benefits I need and nothing more.

If I _really_ need something to be driven by the frontend like a transition then I'll use Alpine.js.

For CSS I tend to use tailwindcss / tailwindui because I know it well and it doens't need npm. If I didn't know tailwind I'd probably look at something like bootstrap or something I can build on top of with vanilla css.
Informed by who? Hospital performs services, sends out a "bill" 30 days later, patient responds "due to the lack of published pricing as per federal reguation, no contract was formed and thus this bill is invalid". Are you saying the hospital would then react by stopping providing care to all patients from then on? Why wouldn't they react by you know, complying with the law to stay in business?

A contract has to have defined consideration, otherwise it is not a contract. Time and materials (hourly rate + cost/plus) is another standard form of financial consideration, but "we'll charge you whatever we feel like at some later time" is not.

My background is over 28 years of c++ programming 20 of that as my profession. My mistake in retrospect was using small arrays as part of a struct, which being immutable got replaced at each time step with a new struct requiring new arrays to be allocated and initialized. I would not have done that in c++, but julia puts my brain in matlab mode. If I had gone full matlab and just used a matrix or tensor instead of an array of structa of arrays then I would have still taken a hit from the mutability, but not the one I did take. After successfully doing some DSP in julia I became arrogant and took on the nbody benchmark at benchmark game. I did discover that targeting skylake instead of ivybridge made no change. It doubled the speed of the c++ and rust solutions. Removing @inbounds was less than a 10% hit. And the iterative fastmath inverse sqrt was absolutely neutral on the skylake machine I used. Sqrt was just as fast. I did get a 10% bump by making the 3tuples into 4tuples for position and velocity. Alignment I'd assumed, but padding the struct instead of the tuple did nothing, so probably extra work to clear a piece of an simd load. Any insight on why avx availability didn't help would be appreciated. I did verify some avx instructions were in the asm it generated, so it knew, it just didn't use.
What? This isn’t ending the system - it is proposing a new model that some creators and consumers can use to avoid some of the problems in current model.
I have colleagues that take DRY to an extreme when it comes to tests. There are so many levels of abstractions that it's incomprehensible. Tests should be clear and readable, you shouldn't have to dig code to understand _what_ a test is doing.

How does Linux do with the high refresh rate display? Does it destroy battery life like I imagine?
It does. Unfortunately, homeowners have no interest in paying for premium units or investing in maintenance. So manufacturing precision goes into exceeding the 8-10 year warranty and little more. My hope is that the current and upcoming electric and natural gas pricing increases will lead to more awareness of heat pump water heaters, which last quite a bit longer.
This implies that the MP3 market was already sufficiently large or saturated by the time the iPod came on the scene, which is false. The MP3 market at the time was mostly an intersection of tech-savvy individuals and musicians. Everyone else was still using portable CD players or walkmans.

Where is all this extra money coming from, if not from someone else? Inflation - the one action that actually creates more money - accounts for a pretty small part of it.

Without creation of additional money, every dollar earned is someone else’s dollar spent.

And yes, I’ve heard theories that the commodities purchased with a dollar are worth more than that dollar, but if that were true, the item would be sold for more; a “rational” capitalist would sell it according to its actual worth.

I feel like making errors is only human. Wouldn't making no errors at all be strange? As the saying goes, only the dead make no errors.

I generally only offer public health advice that I have diligently researched myself. If I can't substantiate my claims with a source, I will mention that. Also, it's not like I only make very well accepted claims. For example, I am against Covid vaccination for people not at risk, especially children.

You do have to keep in mind that I am not a healthcare professional and never claimed to be. I am just an interested layman.
How is it wrong? If you are a public figure getting bombarded with death wishes/threats or vile comments about how someone will kill and mutilate your family what are you supposed to do just take it? There has to be consequences for people like that, like there are in real life.
A serious question: what are native controls on Windows? Is the Windows XP era where each control is its own HWND (and usually drawn with GDI+)? Is it Windows 7 era where the drawing is Direct2D?
