It pretty much enrages me every time I try to use a traditional 3D CAD program --- or when I have to pay for one (the annual Veteran's license for SolidWorks, while a nice gesture was a pain, but at least my son was able to use it and a Connexion Spacemouse my sister bought him for his school projects).

May I ask? What sort of software engineering do you do in concert w/ mechanical engineers?
> Food is huge here

I thought about that recently when I went to the grocery store - when I was fresh out of college, making ~$30k/year, I remember always going to the grocery store and keeping a running total in my head of how much I was spending so I didn't go over $70, since I knew my debit card would be declined if I did. Now I don't even pay attention to how much individual items cost - I just grab what I need.

> if you aren't doing something of your own kind of conspiracy and you're instead obsessing over real or imagined conspiracies that other people are doing, you're wasting your time

That's an incredibly practical insight IMO. It's true: the more you focus on achieving your own goals, the less you care about what else is going on in the world; the most that you care about is overcoming obstacles, but that's the case regardless of whether they're caused by other people's conspiracy plots or random accidents (at least that's the case for me).
It would impact braking distance because if the air isn't slowing the truck down as much then it will take longer for the brakes to slow the truck down.

> It would seem that the biggest contributors to climate change and pollution are developing nations that use carbon based energy (ie coal plants in China, Russia, India, etc).

No, it wouldn't seem. https://www.worldometers.info/co2-emissions/co2-emissions-pe...

Personally, I think the other countries are right to be skeptical when we (USA) tell them they need to reduce emissions. We could easily reduce our own emissions, using current technology that already exists, but we just don't want to - we want to live our current lifestyle and have others do the hard work and sacrifice. Not to mention we look like giant hypocrits after advancing our economy without regard to the environment for 200 years and suddenly are demanding everybody else take the extra care that we didn't.

Kylie Jenner from the article doesn't want to drive, the same way most people don't want to bike to work or take a bus. Most Americans could, they just don't want to.

I've basically given up hope of climate change being avoided. It's classic game theory. We're better off cooperating, but in practice we're all personally better off if we don't.
But why? Why is this VLA parameter defined this way? It seems totally bizarre and unnecessary, but I suppose it must have been added to the standard to solve some kind of problem? Is the proposal for this feature available and gives some insight?

I think all technical writing books are dry and boring.

The best books I've read that helped me with technical writing have been classic writing ones such as Ray Bradbury, Stephen King, Steven Pressfield, William Zinsser, and more.

Also following this general guideline from Orwell may help:

i. Never use a metaphor, simile or other figure of speech which you are used to seeing in print.

ii. Never use a long word where a short one will do.

iii. If it is possible to cut a word out, always cut it out.

iv. Never use the passive where you can use the active.

v. Never use a foreign phrase, a scientific word or a jargon word if you can think of an everyday English equivalent.

vi. Break any of these rules sooner than say anything outright barbarous.

Why you should start paying attention to CXL now
Sure, the US did draft the constitution, but the only people making any fuss about it is the Japanese far right. While Japanese people certainly don't talk about their constitution as much as Americans do, it's still safe to say that it has widespread acceptance. The majority of the population wouldn't accept a major overhaul of the constitution, let alone any attempt to have their freedom taken away. The only source of any serious controversy in the Japanese constitution is article 9, which prohibits Japan from having their own military. But that's a different kind of topic from individual freedom.
The article is literally about them successfully locking out their competitors and moving in on those billions for themselves.
I'm not a flat-earther, but I'll daresay you couldn't prove that everyone who claims to have proof of a round earth is lying or deceived.

It's like some (alleged) variations of the young-earth creationist theory which posits that all the fossil evidence was deliberately planted by Satan to trick the gullible and only the true-believers can see though it. That's a pretty hard one to disprove.
You can measure jitter, but you don't know how much of the delay was due to congestion, and how much was due to other factors.

Something mentioned elsewhere in the thread is wifi physical layers may wait to send small packets until they get a few small packets to aggregate or a timeout. Other systems that aggregate packets may do something similar.

On time division multiplexed systems, it may take measurable time to wait for an assigned slot, even if the channel isn't congested. Some packets would get lucky and have a short wait and others would have a longer wait.

This would be challenging to signal as the delay is added at a hop-by-hop level, but whether the delay is significant enough to signal is unknowable at that level. Maybe you could ask all hops to add to a field indicating milliseconds of delay (or some other fixed increments), but I don't think there's room for that in existing fields and you'd have a heck of a time getting meaningful support. ECN took how long to be usable on the internet, because some middleboxes would drop connections with it enabled, to say nothing of devices actually flagging congestion.
> Notice how the vast majority of workers laid off will not be the same managers who made those bad choices.

You've been working off these assumptions -- that low-level people will be fired first, and that some group of people clearly made "bad decisions" -- since your original comment, and keep repeating them in some form in all subsequent comments, without a single shred of evidence for either.

They are getting rid of 200 people, not very many at Wal-Mart's size, and are still hiring in multiple key areas. Maybe they just decided, with business contracting, it was the right time to eliminate the slackers, the less-skilled, the I'd-never-shop-at-Wal-Marts, the morale-draggers.

'Conspiracy Theory' is a junk media term that shouldn't be taken seriously. It is widely used to gaslight, discredit and confuse.
> Trusted by engineers at top companies with learning budgets

They probably have one guy at a company and add it, based on a survey/form where people could in theory lie about where they work or add previous positions if they're unemployed. Note the companies aren't subscribers, an 'engineer' from that company is a subscriber.
Why the dismissive attitude? It's interesting/concerning either way. We should always bring scams to light and think about how to mitigate them, even if they're not novel or individually dramatic.
I really don't love being negative all the time, but this project is going nowhere.

Boring rock in this way is a permanent "we're 5-10 years away research project."

They've coupled a never ending research project with the idea of "hey there's already some power lines here" which is the smallest of efficiency gains in the big picture.
TSMC is Taiwanese, not Chinese, though.

But I agree, avoiding war is obviously almost always the best option. Unless avoiding war equals getting conquered.

We should not think that the West is the only conscious actor capable of making decisions. That means PRC bears responsibility in this situation as well. One could argue that they are solely responsible of this being a problem in the first place. They could very easily just back off.
I'm open for different opinions, but in my view, being more productive for its own sake is fundamentally misinformed. Being productive means being more efficient at producing output. To get there, you need to put effort into optimizing your process. This effort is only worth it if you know that you NEED more output, in order to reach some OTHER goal. More efficiency in of itself is a misaligned goal. It doesn't lead to happyness. In fact, it seems to me, most of those gurus, and their followers seem to be about boasting their productivity dick. It's like flaunting money: a status symbol that doesn't make you happy in of itself. If you're making honey because you think just simply having money will make you happy, you'll be leading a miserable life.

That's not what the article is about but it relates to what you said.
It's like saying don't build solar panels because we use petrol for them.

It's a chicken an egg problem.

We are using methane to produce h2 because synthesizing fuel (any fuel) is incredibly energetically inefficient. Otherwise we would be using electrolysis for h2.

Either you decide it's a problem, and you don't synthesize any fuel, or you will, and you'll oversize the energy grid and improve the synthesis process efficiency.

This thread assumes we decided we should synthesize fuel (I'm not sold, but I'm debating in that context).

If we do, then synthesis will never beat sourcing in efficiency for methane, since it's a direct process. But if there is a huge market for h2, there will be a incentive for over-sizing the grid and improving on electrolysis to the point that it can be competitive against sourcing methane + synthesize from that, which are 2 steps instead of one.

However, there is no way we can find a way to compete against sourcing methane (and no more step) alone. No good incentive to create.
I was responding to a specific example you chose. You could've chosen a different one. And yet here we are, counting lines and doing math and pretending it "can be faster than a mouse".

For imprecise text scrolling a regular PageUp/PageDown will be faster than calculating the number of lines you need to go up/down. For precise random access nothing beats the mouse. Unless you're in a structured text your editor understands. But then, again, there's no mouse/keyboard dichotomy.

Actually, I think businessmen, generally wealthy private citizens and also famous celebrities wanting to avoid the spotlight more commonly fly on private jets than politicians, at least in the USA.

It's tough flying back and forth to your home state almost every week and maybe not seeing your family very much, and often they tell the airlines in advance to reserve seats on more than one flight to ensure they make it home. This talks about how it's not as luxurious as it might sound:

https://www.washingtonian.com/2016/11/21/members-of-congress...

There is a lot of info online about the travel allowances members of Congress in the USA have:

https://liveandletsfly.com/politicians-first-class/

I didn't know it was a recent change that began allowing Senators to use their allowance to book private:

https://www.cnn.com/2020/04/07/politics/senate-rule-change-c...

When there is a general expectation that these people spend a lot of time in both DC and their home where the people they represent are living, I'm not sure how you get around their need to be able to pay for all that traveling. It's part of our expectations in how they do their job. If you want to pick on someone, probably best to focus on the list at the beginning of my comment, but honestly, many of them have compelling reasons, e.g. no one is hassling you or me everywhere we go because half of the people in the country recognize us. :)

Isn't it classic example of "market for lemons" when the market degrades, sometimes into oblivion, because customers know significantly less about products being sold than the sellers do, because Amazon doesn't care to find out relevant information to rely it to customers?
Give us an explanation.

I've maintained that everyone advocating for permanent remote work should reverse and advocate for office return.

Why? I've been traveling around the world. There are a ton of very talented, hardworking, and eager workers making 1/10th of what remote workers here make. Sooner or later, companies are going to figure out that they can get same, similar, or even better output from hiring workers outside of the US.

Once companies figure it out, there's no going back.

I predict that remote workers will want to return to the office very soon because of this threat.

P.S. I dined at Club 33 many times and once managed to rent it, Pirates of the Caribbean, and the Indiana Jones ride for a private party of about 50 people.

Oh, don’t worry. We’ll add more sensors and real-time monitoring to passenger cars so we’ll becable to punish those doing road rage. We’ll also put a hard speed limit in place which will be enforced electronically by the car itself.

We will then eliminate all old cars by raising taxes on them beyound what any sane person would pay.

It’s coming. Total control.
For whatever reason, identifying with the mainstream story isn't working for them. They feel left out and powerless.

Identifying with the conspiracy theory gives them a shortcut to power by inclusion with other conspiracy theorists. They can quickly become a large fish in a small pond. And even as the smallest fish in that pond they are already ahead of everybody who accepts the mainstream theory.

It's also useless. Conspiracy theories give one secret power that can't actually be applied. The best one could hope for is that one day everybody else will be forced to accept your conspiracy theory, which will somehow confer prestige on you. But they can live in hope of that sudden burst of importance, while simultaneously having a built-in excuse for having no importance now.
The reason for my final question at the end is this: can AI emerge out of AB? The child eventually grows up and (hopefully) stops bullshitting everything. But, do they actually stop bullshitting, or is the human ability to reason itself somehow built out of bullshit?
> Apple end up on the wrong end of broad subpoenas to find out who was near abortion clinics

I would be more concerned about ATT/Verizon/T-Mobile, who have real-time data on where every connected phone is all the time and a FISA court can always serve them with a secret warrant.

Also, what you are describing is not Dunkin paying Apple for an advertisement. If it is, then it would be huge news that Apple is pushing non Apple ads to its devices.
> become and excellent engineer

Is there a reliable definition to that? A good balance between technical and communication skills or something among the lines?
The Raspberry Pi foundation recently (about a 18 months ago) released their own dual-core ARM chip - the RP2040 - and a corresponding dev board - the Pi Pico. The Pico dev board runs about $4 plus shipping from authorized resellers.

Within the past few weeks, they introduced a wireless version - the Pi Pico W. It's about $6 from authorized resellers, though stock is hard to find at the moment.

Any chance that was a location based App Clip suggestion in your Siri App Suggestions home screen widget?

That or the App Store widget (which is essentially a banner ad widget) are the only reasons I can imagine where:

1. You don't have the Dunkin' Donuts app installed

2. You saw the Dunkin' Donuts app icon on your homescreen

---

If it's an App Clip suggestion in your Siri App Suggestions widget, you can disable this behavior in a couple of places (depending on what you care about):

* Settings > Siri & Search > App Clips > Suggest App Clips

* Settings > Privacy & Security > Location Services > System Services > Location-Based Suggestions

I don't mean to suggest that Apple is free and clear of guilt. They often add new options with their preferred value as the default – rather than a user-focused default.

However, I don't think this is caused by advertisements in the same way that Smart TVs suggest things.

Ms. Griner violated a law that is essentially identical to the laws still existing in some U.S. states. If she would have been caught with a bunch of cannabis vape pens in Louisiana, the outcome would have been similar. Perhaps a shorter sentence, but Louisiana like Russia sees cannabis through a criminal prism.
There are many thousands of people currently in prison in the U.S. for the same types of crimes. It seems completely nonsensical to be freeing someone from a foreign prison for the same crime that others are in prison for in her home country.
Had she been imprisoned on trumped up charges or for something fundamental, such as expressing her political views, I'd be much more sympathetic. But she knowingly violated a law that parallels ones we have in many U.S. states.
