So, given that you would be the "perfect average" user, 12-16 hours/month for 50 bucks, for some 6*2.5=15 sqm.

24 h open 7/7 at 2/3 occupancy would be 30x24x2/3=480 h/month, so 480/16=30 users/half container, or 30x50=1,500 US$/month.

To cover the 24hx7=168 hours/week (considering holidays/illness/whatever) you will need 6 or 7 people in the role of reception/cleaning/etc., if costs for each are 5,000 US$/month, and we assume to spend no more than 50% for personnel, you need 70,000 US$/month of income, so 70,000/1,500=47 half containers. let's make them 50 (one will be used for reception, one for storage, and one for common toilets).

You will need 50% more area than the area occupied by containers (for corridors between them) 50x6x2.50x1.50= 1,125, or between 1,000 and 1,500 sqm for this "camp".

At first sight is doable, the income is not different from a hotel room (at 100US$/night and 50% occupancy) but the building costs are far smaller, a half length container can cost, including the modifications around 10,000 US$, let's make it 12,000 including furniture, whilst a hotel room is more like 30 sqm at 2,000 US$/sqm or 60,000 US$.

And of course I didn't consider the "gym effect" of people paying the monthly fee but never showing up, and the "premium fee" you mention for a "no reservation".
How many of these questions can be answered by the prospective hire before ever entering the interview process?

If you take this approach, using lists like this as a guideline, you might be able to find out a lot about the company before the interview, which is a good idea. It'll indicate to the interviewer that you're interested enough in the company to do solid background research, which is likely to be a plus.

The relative success of such background research (% of questions that can be answered, for example about testing, source control, company culture, etc.) will in itself tell you a lot about the company, i.e. if they're unusually secretive perhaps most of these questions won't be answerable before the interview. That might or might not be a red flag (Theranos was a rather secretive outfit, for example...).

Also, note that some of the questions are phrased in what some will interpret as an unnecessarily antagonistic manner, and some people will confuse directness with arrogance. Others will appreciate the straightforward approach. Figuring out who is which is a common problem.

> Good to see that the good old "laptop doesn't go to sleep on linux" problem has never truly gone away.

FWIW, I have a spare Windows laptop, just over a year old, whose WiFi does not recover upon waking from sleep about eleven times out of a dozen.

OTOH, I have had both Windows and Linux laptops which have gotten uncomfortably warm when ‘asleep.’ And right now I have a Linux laptop which very rarely hangs on sleep and turns into space heater, not even turning off the monitor but becoming completely unresponsive.

Sleep is apparently a lot trickier a feature than it looks.

It was Germany which started the Blockade first. In February 1915 they announced they would sink all allied merchant vessels around Britain. Britain responded in kind a month later.

If you don't want other countries doing something to you, it is a good idea to not do the exact same thing to them first.

Agreed! In fact, I have NextDNS listed as an alternative in the README.

To be fair though, the "VPN" here is peer-to-peer and, in the case of the Pi-hole, only used for DNS. We're not talking about tunneling all traffic. According to https://ping.nextdns.io/ the latency is similar.

I'd also imagine that on iOS the NextDNS app is implemented as a VPN, no? How else would they enforce the DNS config across networks? How would they avoid annoying tricks like ISP intercepting DNS?

But overall, I agree my setup probably only makes if you're already using tailscale for other things. :p

The war wasn't over at that point, there was only an agreement to stop fighting while negociating. In fact, the German army kept sabotaging industrial sites in northern France after the armistice.
How to think about quaternions without your brain exploding [video]
This is not a solution. You still have to look at (or listen to???) the screen. But now you also have to find and operate one of several identical input devices that are not colocated.

This works for cheap oscilloscopes because you're not simultaneously driving a car. What you're proposing would make the safety issues worse, and probably be unacceptably frustrating for most people.

> the UK still has astronomical alcohol consumption, but they don’t get labelled the same way as the Irish

It shows how sticky stereotypes are and how they allow people to point at others without really thinking about themselves. I've got an example too. Within the UK Scotland gets a bad rap for being a nation of overweight people who eat deep fried food every other meal, when in reality the rate of obesity within the country are within a couple of percentage points (something like 27.5% in Scotland, 25% in England). I have literally had overweight English people trying to crack wise with me (Scottish, 83kg/190cm - basically in shape) about Scottish people being fat which is kinda funny. I thought it would be a bit rude to turn it round on them - there's a line between banter and direct insults after all :D

Ireland gets it a bit worse though. So many people love to try to mirror the accent or joke about the potato famine or the troubles (not excluding Scotland from this, this stuff occurs across the English speaking world) wee bit edgy for my liking.

What's completely balderdash about it? The definition of centimeter is accurate, so it cannot be the case that the post is completely balderdash? Like you've requested with my oxen and my days and my wheat berries, perhaps you could you also be more precise?

Again, the point is that you use these measurements in situations where micrometer-tier precision is unnecessary. You can hear "pound", immediately be able to conceptualize it, and then move on with your life, not waste all day haggling with the merchant over his wheat berries that happen to be 0.2mm shorter on average than what you typically might consider to be a wheat berry.
Then he wrote git.
> The “console” was called that because it was a piece of furniture

I've heard that one's 'study' used to be a piece of furniture which held private papers etc in otherwise non-private or collective housing. Apparently the preferred color and grain of wood for such furniture now informs the conventional look of a "study" as an entire room. Source was moderately credible, IIRC.

Yes, long-term climate cycles also exists but the important difference we’re confronted by with man-made climate versus the longer trends you refer to is that this is happening on a vastly quicker timescale, meaning that ecosystems (and our own societies) are unable to adapt. For instance on geologic timescales plants and creatures evolve, forests move, mountains sink and new reefs can grow, but when similar changes happen in the order of decades this is not just going to happen and everything relying on those ecosystems is going to have a real problem.

I am so sick and tired of sites that have a bunch of filler content in them just to appear higher in search results. You search for something, say "How to change a light bulb" and you get all this front loading with sections on "what is a light bulb?" "Why do light bulbs need changing?" "Picking a light bulb" and then finally the answer.

Maybe a search engine that could prioritize getting to the point would be good.

You may want to check out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Causal_inference - the issues that you point out are all well understood and being addressed as well as possible within the limitations of our current knowledge of statistics, the logical fundamentals and the available data.

Ignoring ordering for example isn't a problem with stochastic modelling per se, but just with this specific model when applied in a specific context - you could of course use a different model to account for ordering as well. Similar for whether you want to optimize the expected average outcome or some other statistic like a given percentile. Those models exist already, don't blame the discipline for your lack of knowledge.
Any usage will reduce a battery’s lifespan, but this isn’t a donation. The point of enrolling in a sharing program is you get compensated for letting the utility company use your resources. It should much more than offset the extra degradation.

Degradation of lithium batteries is also not constant. It depends on several factors such as C rate, heat, and voltage. All of these factors would be far less during load sharing than just driving your car.

And keep in mind most people wouldn’t want to share their entire batteries. They would want to save most for themselves. If they only offered 10% of their capacity for load sharing, then the shared usage would be far less than a full cycle.

At 15Mb/s for a start-quality 4k stream (5 times higher than the average ISP speed measured by Netflix), that serves 53k simultaneous customers.

In the US, the fastest ISP for Netflix usage seems to be Comcast (https://ispspeedindex.netflix.net/country/us ), with an average speed of 3.6Mbps. That would serve an average of 222k simultaneous customers on a single server.

> But who is putting NetBSD on their main machine without doing any reading or thinking

Ahh, now, there is an important thing.

I wasn't "on my main machine". I was not proposing it would be. I put it in a VM. I think that is how most techies try out new OSes these days. Especially FOSS OSes. Try before you buy. Give it a test drive, no cost, no commitment.

And in that context, yes, I do feel it's something one might do casually, without a lot of research, on the spur of the moment, for example at 1AM after one's partner has gone to bed or something.

> Nothing about the project or it's goals either.

Well, I tried to point out in the closing paragraphs why one might want a modern-but-minimal OS on vintage hardware. I cited the example of keeping an old version of Mac OS X around on a PowerMac running Classic MacOS: so one can download stuff from the internet, transfer stuff to/from USB keys or other media the old OS might not understand, and so on.

As a comparison: there was a new release of Classic AmigaOS just last year or so:
https://www.hyperion-entertainment.com/index.php/news/1-late...

After a ~30 year gap.

AFAIK that release comes with no web browser, no TCP/IP, no networking at all. 680x0 Amigas don't come with USB either, and many don't have CD drives as standard.

What I was getting at with that was: on such a machine, having NetBSD around as well, so you can grab stuff off the Internet, or a modern optical disk, could be handy.

That was me trying to justify the relevance of the project and its goals. Apparently not clearly enough. :-(
I'd like to see some paper/book about 'But people have been happily "making it work", across cultures, for centuries.', proving that the majority of couples were happy in their golden years.

IMO too many coders can't write high quality code even if they tried. So when they write code that they feel is good enough, it rarely is good enough objectively.
No, xe addressed that point quite explicitly: "Whoever wrote that famous 1947 log entry [...] was making a joke."

The sad fact is that one can find people repeating this tale and incorrectly attributing the origin of the term to Hopper. I'd have to pull my old back issues of BYTE out of storage to check that the January 1984 one did misattribute this as claimed, but it was definitely still a subject for discussion in the BYTE letters pages in 1985.
I hadn't thought that the reason they do this is to appear to have original content. It seems like distinguishing between the original source of information and a site that has a bunch of filler "original content" but just exists to republish/plagiarize some other site's content must be a difficult problem to solve.
I don't think a country that performed the grotesque "rape of Belgium" can claim to be the good side. The simple fact is, Germany initiated the war, and Germany implemented the worst atrocities of the war. That makes it the "baddie" in my book.

That depends on the content's bitrate. Netflix serves their video with bitrate anywhere from 2 - 18Mbps. Say if average were 10Mbps, that is roughly 80K customer per box.

Well it would have been in the media due to him resigning anyway, regardless of the truth or otherwise of the recent allegations.

While I don't know about the recent stuff there seems clear evidence he was sketchy financially re the original setting salaries to 70k thing. He claimed he did that and then his brother and fellow shareholder sued him for doing it but really the brother launched the suit before that happened objecting to him paying himself a $1m+ salary and hence grabbing the profits and making all salaries $70k was probably a reaction to the suit.

Honestly that sounds like a pretty good model of my life so far.
I think it’s a useful sanity check. Let’s say you have an engineering department of, say, 5 teams. All of the leads are straight white cis men. That’s could very well be because it’s a small company yadda yadda. But it’s good to keep track of it as the company grows to 10, 15, 20 teams. If your engineering department large and you have literally no minorities or what minorities you hire quickly quit, that should be a red flag that something is going wrong with your company culture. Otherwise you’ll end up having a hit piece about how an engineering director sexually harassed women and HR covered for it (NYT about Uber, Google has had this scandal, blizzard is being investigated right now, riot games had a piece published, etc.)

Edit: that’s not to say all companies with large engineering departments filled with one kind of gender/race/sexuality are always bad. But it should be examined to ensure it isn’t a result of a legally vulnerable workplace.

While the earth does indeed have its own cycles, the reason we know about them is the same reason we know we don't want to add a few degrees in a century. And not just because a timescale of "the dinosaurs" is enough for "India collides with Asia forming the Himalayas which creates a rain shadow over what is now the Gobi desert".

Claiming it's about fear and control is a very easy way to ignore it — fact is, it's much easier to create fear (for the purpose of control) with human boogiemen: post WW2 British tabloids made hay by going "Communists and Germans!

Lammps molecular dynamics is by Sandia national labs, they probably have a good ARM implementation. LeelaChessZero is also a SIMD-implementation IIRC. Both are SIMD-accelerated, but LeelaChessZero is faster on M2, but LAMMPS is faster on AMD.

I don't get it at all. Its really hard to see the pattern. Furthermore, its hard for me to imagine that LAMMPS would be much worse on one system over another, given the authors.

---------

Then comes the "in-between" benchmarks. DaCappo is slower on low-power settings for M2, but high-power setting M2 faster than any setting. Very strange behavior, I can't imagine why this would happen.

ZSTD compression is faster on AMD, but decompression is faster on M2. Same codebase, same authors, but different results over two different runs.

When I complained about this, the response was "but is 16GB unified memory" as if I was disputing the performance of the RAM and how it is handled within the M1 chip while my issue was filling the 16GB. I'm happy that at least in HN people seem to be more aware on RAM sizing
