A low sample size does not mean that the result of a study are not valid. No researcher would get funding for a large study right off the bat when looking for something novel. You always start with a prospective study of a small sample size, and then move on.

Furthermore scientific consensus on topics does not come from individual studies, but from the collective collection of studies on a topic.

The problem is not the lack of a well-defined ruleset, but that any open or clearly intended ruleset can be optimized for. One of possible solutions is to obfuscate and enforce rules in some irregular, inconsistent and unfair manner, with a well-intended dictatorship or aristocracy oversight, which is proven unworkable long term.

Hydrogen fueled cars waste more energy than pure BEVs and PHEVs. I don't think they are a good idea.

Hydrogen could be a decent storage option for excess wind and solar, but there are probably more cost-effective solutions on the horizon.
I really like to work and the area I've chosen. What makes it annoying is that I have to work on what upper management thinks is important at any given time. They want me to design a high level software architecture now but I want to code. Next week they want me to code but I want to design. It very rarely aligns. If ever. That annoys me and probably causes management a great deal of anxiety when I go off path. It feels so childish of me. I'm looking for soutions to hack this situation like the hedonic threadmill, in case anyone has suggestions.

Did flatpack improved? Can you say get CLI apps in flatpack because it was not possible and I my quick search found no examples. Personally snap helped me in setting up some stuff on a server (pdftk) I am not a big fan though, could be done better IMO, flatpack seems to be same RedHat/GNOME crap, pushed by force and not be it's quality.
It sounds like you don't have the autonomy you think you should - which often comes from the responsibilities being misaligned (presumably management are responsible for some delivery dates which leads them to feel they should be telling you what to work on).
Hmm, these days it's the security update that you want. Avoiding all updates will leave you with a vulnerable system.

I agree regarding staying well off the LTS bleeding edge, though. I usually wait around 6 months. Back in the early RedHat days, I remember waiting for the x.2 release.

Yes, whenever there is an abundance of data (= subjective, feeling of overwhelmed), we need curation which aligns with whatever your interests are. Grep, for example, is a data curator. Even flags in ls could be.

Do you remember the very first time you went online, perhaps with dialup? The sheer adrenaline rush of paying by the minute. Every second counts. Imagine having a good data curator back then. It would have saved tons of money, and time.

> That is actually terrible. I put a new battery into my 2012 macbook and I get about that much battery life with similar usage (although my compute is done on a server).

My compute[1] is done locally only. My personal laptop is an HP Victus, it gets around 7 hours because I don't compute locally, which makes the M1 look okay in comparison.

I always wonder about these people who claim the M1 can last a full day without needing to be charged - they can't be developing on the thing, can they? If they're not doing computations on the thing, then the battery life is quite similar to all other non-gaming laptops in that price range.

Absolutely insane as an interview question. I know lots of top engineers who've built the fundamentals and driven companies to billions of dollars multiple times who would have failed to have completed this objective within an hour.

Filipinos are hugely underrepresented in elite US schools, and we are using racial quotas to make the problem worse.

So like, it wasn't okay to discriminate against Jews because there weren't that many of them in absolute terms, but it's ok to discriminate against Filipinos? There are about twice as many Jews as Filipinos in the US, by the way.

But compare and contrast the Iraq-Iran war, etc - aircraft were eaten up on both sides rather quickly. Note too that fighter pilots are rarer and actually more expensive (to train properly) than the jets IIRC. We haven't had a lot of fairly even struggles in the decades since. Russia was expected to overwhelm Ukraine in a real fight. The War in Vietnam might support your argument, a flood not just of planes but plenty of Russian pilots to secretly fly them kept the Vietnamese air force not just in the fight but quite successful.

A lot of "engineering types" including myself can be semi blind to the value of the MBA types. Or even just sales in general.

I don't think these engineering types are (semi-)blind to this. It is rather my opinion that this kind of sales pitches hardly works on engineers, and sales pitches from engineers do not work for MBA types.

For example, a quite successful business consultant (who nevertheless knows a lot programming) told me between you and me that selling anything to me is insanely harder than selling to C-level executives because I nearly always find the weak points in his sales presentations and ask critical questions.

On the other hand, I somehow "do not speak the language of the 'MBA types'". The most likely reason for that is that deep inside I consider completely different properties of a product to be important than most managers.

Not sure what coding has to do with product management -- unless you are planning on building an IDE or some very developer-specific tool or something.

I went thru at least one of the product mgmt courses on linkedin and i thought it was great-ish. two guys. one guy was hella funny. i figure if you can go thru that and understand the gist of what they're talking about, and can talk about how prod mgmt can or should be done, just the high-level concepts, then you're good to go -- go get a job.

product mgr. product owner. junior. product analyst. etc.

and, i thought i heard 'Prof G' give some good advice the other day -- he told some older woman who was concerned about getting a job while older -- "well, go get a job -- if you can get a job, then that's the proof, just like it is proof if you can _not_ get a job." -- i.e. don't worry about x y z -- just go get a job.

my biggest problem as a wantrepreneur is i just don't want to do product management for anybody else but myself anymore. :-)

i also think finding a mentor is a great idea. and just like-minded idea-y/imagineer-y/startup-y-type folks -- entrepreneur meetups, etc.

> They are also not top of the line gpus... which gamers want to buy. older rx470 polaris class gpus are more than enough for large mining farms.

Way off the mark there, gamers not in the 1% don't buy top of the line GPU (as reflected in the Steam survey), they buy the budget to mid range price. When miners started buying GPU left and right in pallets, NVIDEA and AMD saw it and shift the manufacturing to the top of the line GPU where they have the highest margins even if the waffer would yield a lot less, because miners would buy them ASAP anyway. This reduced the amount of lower tier GPUs in the market.

Funny you mention the RX470, a GPU famously never in stock because of this dumb piramid scheme.
That project sounds interesting and I think it aligns with what I need. Have you open-sourced it?

Good to see the term "regexp" (with a "p") in use. I always used to call it that, then at some point realized everyone was writing "regex", and wondered if I'd spelled the abbreviation wrong the whole time. I guess it's just a function of time, it used to be spelled with a "p" and now mostly isn't.

In India WA does an excellent job of being that social graph. There are segregated groups of family, colleagues, collage friends and what not. Messages, memes, updates are shared on those groups. Lot of commercial transactions also take place.

Individual action leads to nowhere after this point. As long as the public sector default to Windows, schools teach Windows and MS Office, and businesses mostly use Windows, Windows it is. People sure as hell don't bother learning a new operating system just to use at home, and they wouldn't also if Linux was this default either. Valve is doing the good work, for one, by creating a new computing platform for Steam on Linux.
I just gave Neeva a shot and it's really great. I love that I can up and down rank domains, and it doesn't appear to filter domains using some shadowy ideological algorithm. I don't seem to have access to that Onebox feature yet but I imagine it's being rolled out by region.

One question: why are there no dates under results? Even for articles where the date is near the top. This is something I rely on heavily to filter out the older results. To provide an example, I searched for "keychron k2v2" and found this article from Sep 26, 2020 (https://appleinsider.com/articles/20/09/26/review-the-keychr...). I then filtered to show me only results from the last year, and this result still popped up. This suggests the Neeva engine doesn't detect dates at all.

But it's interesting that two countries at loggerheads - Russia and the US - are both agreeing to keep some US special weapons secret. I'm thinking of anti-aircraft lasers according to an IEEE article. Russia because it would be embarrassing to admit it's technologically being skunked; and the US... because they want to beat the Russians, not embarrass them?

Iran (and Russia) loves to brag about half-baked new military tech, out of sheer narcissism. The US, as you suggest is historically much better at hiding its hand and springing surprises when war comes.
I always suspect those people who brag they do 60+ hour weeks continuously without a problem of not being responsible for the care of their kids or their household.

In my view all of the work in our life piles up, whether it is actual work, or driving through traffic, or cleaning the windows or the floors, or preparing the evening meal, or entertaining a toddler. I feel like we have about 80 hours of “work” we can spend in a week without reaching exhaustion, and the more of the non-work “work” we can shift into someone else’s lap, the more of those 80 hours can be dedicated to actual work. Hiring a cleaner, ordering food, taking an uber, hiring a nanny, or just letting a significant other take up the workload, these are all ways to get more actual work done. It is not just about the saved time, it is about the avoided fatigue.

And of course, when you have a household with young children, you quickly come to realize that it is not possible for both parents to have full time jobs and also run the entire household and take care of the kids, and have a personal life on top of that. The only way as a two-income household to avoid exhaustion and losing touch with friends while the kids are young is to have others pick up the chores, whether free (friends and family) or paid. It can be difficult for people that don’t have children to appreciate what a taxing time that is.
I once had the same problem. That usually means unhealthy diet and constant eating and lack of exercise that all result in huge insulin spikes and insulin resistance.

Try 16/8 intermittent fasting and a healthier, more balanced diet and walking for a few minutes after meals and you will feel like a new person.
After meals you will feel energized and awake.

I like reputation systems in general because they mimic the way social norms were created in the real world (provided having a bad reputation had consequences, but yet was redeemable)

However I'm not sure about:

> Bad Actors cannot take over the system until they have played by the rules long enough to have accumulated sufficiently high reputation scores.

Would it be possible to automate having a "good behavior" with some very low-stake actions (basically, sharing funny cat pictures ?) with one actor, in order to get tokens to allow upping the reputation of another actors (controlled by the same human being in the end) that is then able to send spam in proportion ?

> The Reputation Score S of any Actor automatically decreases over time
