'As an employee you have a duty of loyalty to your employer'

Incredibly naive if someone does this. In a employee/employer relationship, I believe one should only be loyal to themselves. Again, have integrity and don't steal stuff, but be loyal to yourself.
My first reaction is: This will never work. A C-level PowerPoint needs a problem statement AND a clear action AND estimates of timings, money, people, in simple words, everything in tiny baby steps. Without action, it's just underlings complaining. With action, they say make it so and come back a few months later and ask what the results are in simple terms of time and money.

But this is a strange reaction. I claim to think that people will solve things if they understand the problem. What makes the suits different?

Somehow, I excluded the execs from actual peoplehood. They are out there, making ignorable sounds like a radio, or doing random damage to infrastructure like a bad storm, but always without any real thinking going on. A bit like Eliza. Spending their time doing political feuds against other execs. Gathering more underlings or budget. Reorganizing people to other random corners of the buildings. Eating big dinners while talking to other execs. Creating a new C-suite job for someone they like.

Oh well, I'm probably cliche level wrong. Or maybe the AI people should target exec-level consciousness as a stepping stone to real-people consciousness ;-)
I had a similar experience with a Tesco (U.K. Supermarket) Hudl (their short lived tablet brand) bought in 2015. Not a bad experience and attractive price but awful battery life and got quite hot too!
I feel like they should go for Pop!_OS, like HP did. Get all the big desktop Linux vendors focused on the same default distro.

Also, how come Intel Evo, whatever that is, isn't supported when choosing Ubuntu?
There are plenty of European parts where you cannot rent a car or book a hotel without visa or mastercard.

Meanwhile, for a business, either of these refusing to work with you will likely kill the business on the spot.

The differences between Europe and US corporatism is petty narcissism of small differences.
You have to look at it as a separate concept from the hh:mm time,

pm is between midday (inclusive) and midnight (exclusive) and am the rest, between midnight (inclusive) and midday (exclusive).
Yeah PC of Theseus.
99% of candidates come through some 3rd party recruiter (in our case). They know our ranges and communicate this. The other 1%, well I just dont do, no special thoughts. Its not in my intention to push compensation down. This only has future downsides if I hire the candidate and he performs well.
No way in hell I’m clicking that lmfao

What if there was a new artist with the same name? Not too crazy. There was another kid in our high school with the exact same first, middle and last name as my brother. No relation.
At least you live in a country where you have the official shops available.., I still don't understand to this day what's the problem in having one e-shop that ships to whole EU, even if they didn't support all the languages.

In Slovakia there's no official e-shop for Dell, Google, Apple (and presumably others), you have to go through resellers, where prices are higher and vary from one shop to another, and most of them don't have the build your own system option and/or don't list all available configurations...
My company has about 40 laptops, roughly 50-50 Mac and PC. In the last 3 years or so we've had two Mac batteries swell up and one PC one. We've had one Mac battery no longer hold charge (but not swell), and 3 PC ones.

(Doesn't the XPS have normal crosshead screws? My fairly old one does.)
I see both of those consequences as a win for the world and humanity in general.
> There's literally no operation on data that can't in principle be expressed as an SQL query (albeit the construction might be painful and tedious).

There are some problems though:

- Single query can't write to multiple tables.

- Single query can't return multiple resultsets.

You can write a stored procedure, but this is no longer "an SQL query", strictly speaking. And once you start writing stored procedures, you are no longer using just SQL, but whatever Ada-inspired procedural extension to SQL was implemented by the database vendor. In other words, you are using "a traditional programming language to work with the data".
I think there is a place for both:

Old companies that are still super lean and efficiently serve a difficult need.
Young companies that thin the herd and pick up the old companies that got fat.

Fundamentally, an economy without bankruptcies of old companies is doomed.
It’s easy to take this observation in literal terms. Most of the comments point to the danger of “risking everything (financially)” and of course there’s a potential stupidity in that.

Reframed as psychologically risking everything is perhaps a more resonant alternative view. What this means is the notion that “you’re all in”, all of you. That your entire being is at risk. Sports perhaps the easiest illustration, where your entire idea of person is at risk. That’s when the dopamine flies along with the adrenaline. It’s often why you see huge dysfunction in the hyper successful, because the drive is so strong. It’s why an outsized proportion of UK Prime Ministers for example had lost a parent young.

There’s a danger in narrowly framing risking everything. As the material provides far less of a drive than the psychological. It’s also much scarier to put your whole self at risk.

Elon getting as far as away possible (Mars) from his possibly quite mad father, is perhaps a much stronger incentive/drive than making a few more billion.

As to whether it’s desirable, well that’s surely another question altogether.
Exactly this, it’s for show to indicate what a cool down to earth company Stripe is.
If you post your subjective view on a public forum, judgement is literally the only opposing force in a discussion (because subjective differences in opinion cannot be rationalized by objective arguments). Unless you want an echo chamber, I don't see a problem with judgement.
Hey, remember when Apple was going to implement photo matching against known CSAM and everyone freaked out, prompting them to reverse the decision?

Well, this is Google having an AI classify your images as potential CSAM and having had that for a while and everyone’s cool with it.
They are servers for forums so that would be the natural place to complain.
This mentality is the reason wages are stagnant, some boomer uncle is thinking rent is still $800 and mortgages are 350k.Meanwhile they are sitting in their pre 1996 home with cars and all the shit they need.
Probably same people go to city hall meetings to ban the latest affordable housing project because it ruins their view.
Thanks for the rabbit hole. The faq linked golang CGo issue [0] features `mattn/go-sqlite` too. It appears there is a particular impact for repeatedly calling any C that takes longer than ~20µs but that issue doesn't really try to quantify general CGo impact.

In my entirely unscientific go test on 100000 incremented integers, it's look like "some" impact.

inserts took: 891.307359ms
count: 100000 6.76659ms SELECT count(integer) from itable
lower one: 1111 31.708µs SELECT lower(integer || integer || integer || integer) from itable
repeat one: 1111 64.275µs SELECT repeat(integer, 4) from itable
lower4: 149.027976ms SELECT lower(integer || integer || integer || integer) from itable
repeat4: 507.223713ms SELECT repeat(integer, 4) from itable
concat4: 132.156995ms SELECT integer || integer || integer || integer from itable

It probably doesn't matter a huge amount for the ad hoc `dsq` use, having them available is better than not.

I came to say exactly this. Color me unsurprised that this is the top comment. In what world is 16GB and a mobile i5 "developer orientated"? Makes my head spin.
You can still wipe the disk and install just whatever OS you want, right? Dell doesn't force you to use the pre-installed OS?

I don't understand the resale value either? You can always re-install windows? Do people pay more with the "original" Windows installation? Shouldn't you actually want to explicitly wipe before you sell??
Bots and spam.
It's been a couple of months when I visited the Dell website, but the experience was horrible. I could not even find out whether they sell directly (as they exclusively did many years ago) or via resellers here in Finland. They had several links to resellers, but all of them were broken. Visiting those businesses directly did not result in satisfactory results either.

We still have a Dell laptop bought as high end developer machine well over 10 years ago running Linux as surf PC here at home. The support Web site was excellent back then and the build quality obviously, too.

Nowadays they seem to be unable to sell. No idea whether it would be worth making any efforts to buy.
This is why I backup my phone manually, my Google account is not used for any email I really care about, and I don't use it to authenticate anywhere else, etc. Same with other big providers (and smaller ones though for softly different reasons: they may vanish or be eaten by the larger fish).

Having too much linked to one group, especially one famed for terrible user care when something goes wrong, is just asking for this sort of accident to happen, and for it to affect you as widely as possible.
This looks really neat, I love the idea of a single api for both traditional and headless scraping.

From my experience headless scraping is in the order of 10-100x slower and significantly more resource intensive, even if you carefully block requests for images/ads/etc.

You should always start with traditional scraping, try as hard as you can to stick with it, and only move to headless if absolutely necessary. Sometimes, even if it will take 10x more “requests” to scrape traditionally, it’s still faster than headless.
No,Apple's proposal was for only scanning stuff that was being uploaded to their servers. And only matching hashes with known material, not general "nude child!" detection.

While there's problems with that too, it is a better design than what Google does.

>SQL is an old language and not designed for large scale programming, it is not a language that developers will love. Even worse, they will not be very productive with it.

What the hell. I stopped reading at this point.
I have a far less interesting and infinitely less daring story (but that is my response to the author's contention, "risk everything" and your question "why people are aghast").

When I was young in my mid 20's, I've just moved to a hip and hipster neighborhood of a college town lively with grad students, artists and musicians and comics; But I was just a lonely and geeky guy lookin' to fit in and meet and make new friends with the glitsy scene.

One one evening, driving back from staying late on the job, I stopped for a fellow who motioned for help in the middle of the road. It turned out that his car battery died - but peculiarly his battery would not hold charge and his engine would only run if the jumper cable hooked up at all times. So really wanting to help, I offered to get into both of our cars with the jumper cables still connected - like 2 hungry hippos joined at the open mouths and drive down gingerly down 5 city blocks 'till we got to his driveway. Someway, somehow, against many honks and even incoming traffic, we made it. I was elated and thought I had made a friend and had a great story to tell; we exchanged phone numbers, and I asked the guy to have drinks with me some times.

Except the guy never replied back to my messages. And while disappointing, it wasn't a big deal in the grander scale of things in life vis-a-vis major breakup's, "major reorgs" at work or major rifts with family relatives. But with passage of time, I've learned why it still nagged at me - because if I was honest with myself: what I did was actually not very altruistic. I stopped because I was a lonely young man who was looking for some kind of excitement to take on a "hero" role even if only for a moment. A situation I was hoping would garner me some dopamine hit with truly minimal cost to me - and yes even an covert expectation that the stranger would return my " kindness" and maybe even a social reward if I re-told the story [chasing an aesthetic pleasure disguised as an ethical act in the Kierkegaardian sense].

So I don't think I'd be keen to stop for someone now - not because I've become a grumpy old man who don't believe most people are bad and you shouldn't take un-necessary personal risk. But because (a) I think real heroism is deliberately pushing all your chips [at true emotional or material sacrifice to yourself] to the middle of the table for something or people whom you love over a long sustained period of time - not some impulsive act in the moment for an emotional reward, and (b) I think those people stranded on the road should have purchased an AAA membership; or should have carried an radio for emergency contact, brought on additional provisions or a marine GPS for their course on the high seas.
This is a legal concept. You have to be loyal to your employer. You can’t intentionally undermine their business, charge them for hours you didn’t work, etc. It doesn’t mean that you have to go out of your way to advance their ends.

Have you run a country? Do you know how that goes? No? Ok then.

Would you like to know how much each of these groups get in tax writeoffs, subsidies, and aid from the government?

A comment about how we don't need government, and the argument is that government is already doing the job. Amazing.

> there are ORM libraries that generate the relevant sql dialect. This has been the case since the early 2000s; see Hibernate. And for C#, there’s LINQ to SQL.

That's generating SQL. Parsing is going from text to the AST; the reverse of what you're saying. Maybe I'm confused.
Right! They've got the same thing going that ordinary LWRs do: the neutrons lose their energy in a surround liquid rather than in a solid moderator or solid structural materials other than the fuel rods (which are designed to be replaced often anyway). The design even adds some hafnium to the coolant salt (substituting for zirconium, which is the sacrificial metal you refer to there); hafnium serves to shield the reactor walls from thermalized neutrons.

One additional advantage of separating the fuel salt from the coolant salt is that the coolant salt volume can be increased as desired, making the thermal inertia of the reactor as large as one likes independent of reactor power or size of the fuel load.
Scale and access (≈quantity) matter.
Trains run on electricity and electricity price is skyrocketing... And then some trains run on diesel...

I follow German subreddits because it's good daily practice, and most of them are fun. SchnitzelVerbrechen is my latest discovery.

I specifically block all bullying, outrage porn, look-at-those-idiots subreddits, as well as all US politics. It makes the reddit experience much more pleasant.
Medical discussion is hard because Internets are full of all kinds of people except of those who can give you a working medical advice. Also few people can formulate enough eloquent question as well. Last but not least reason is that some medical advices requires to break a law like "use morphine" or "syntecise that expensive drug from cheap components using some common lab glasses".

So, before going to doctor I use to download from torrents all books of those field which bothers me, that makes discussion of my problems with a doctor (offline) way more fruitful. But anyway, I also miss that kind of a platform you have describen.
It means the offgas storage system has to be designed for a large heat load, even in accident scenarios. It also means the common MSR talking point that the FPs stay in the salt is not correct.
You've completely missed the point. Author's talking about parsing SQL. That's utterly different from using infoschema to get an existing table structure.

You can select the i7-1260p option. Not the top one, but definitely not the i5.
Be aware that "Ubuntu" doesn't mean "Free software"!

9 years ago I bought a new Dell XPS 13 with Ubuntu. Everything has been fine until one month ago when I decided to natively install Guix OS.

The wireless card "Intel Centrino Advanced-N 6235 (2x2 b/g/+ Bluetooth Combo Card)" has non-free, proprietary firmware. So no native(!) Guix on my Dell XPS. (Only hosted)
I could argue that the State is becoming irrelevant as laws controlling corporations are written by the same corporations (through lobbying and general involvement as an "experts of the field"). These laws are written not only be serving the corporation but also making the corporation blameless.

So it is not a symbiosis per se but rather complete overtake of host (State).

State becoming irrelevant makes politics a reality show.

>test pieces cut from a batch of metal

I mean in essence you just have to look at the word. Coupon is from French couper, which means to cut. So it's a cut-out. It has the same meaning when you look at extreme couponing and metal testing.

Maybe major chains. There are vast numbers of small-holder rentals that happily take cash.

It's 100% possible to do business in Europe purely with bank transfer. I've been at it for years and I never interact with either Visa or Mastercard.
It’s also when Apple’s laptop speaker game left the earth. To this day no one even came near Apple.
well I don't like to switch from company I just started at just because I don't like one thing, as of right now I am keeping my FF Developer installation as it is part of my workflow and I don't find anything else as good (just my personal opinion of course, other people may prefer other browsers)
I almost bought one - I had, if Apple had had one in stock when I tried to buy one. A truly faszinating device. Probably the smallest "full size" laptop, depending how you could, ever made.

For sure, the weakeast point of it was the processor, which had to sacrifice too much performance to stay in the thermal budget. I guess the basic design decisions for the 12" MacbBook were made when Intel still seemed to be on track for their 10nm process. But it wasn't the only caveat with its design. It had of course the horrible butterfly keybord which would plague the Apple laptops for years and 12" is the absolute minimum screen size for doing work.

I think Apple has another laptop design < 13" coming, that could be 12". The ARM processors pretty much solve the power/performance problem. The keyboard could actually be the biggest hurdle, as it increases the body thickness. But the keyboard of the new M2 Air is just wonderful, well worth whatever it adds to the device thickness. I wouldn't even be surprised, if they don't make an ultra-thin 12" MacBook but rather a 12" MB Pro, which might be slightly thicker than the Air.
Apple doesn’t currently scan.
To bring some positive news, I bought this computer last month and up to now I'm quite happy with it.

TouchPad feels very good but is a little buggy when the computer rest on some surfaces.

The function keys are not a pain to use, and the keyboard feels very good otherwise.

I installed Fedora and Windows 10 on it. Bought with Ubuntu for the price reduction.

Oled screen is marvelous, battery life is okay: 5h when developing using vscode and tons of extensions. It does get quite hot when doing some 3d stuff but that's expected I guess.

Battery life can be improved by choosing the LCD screen.

It has some flaws, but I find them minor and I value much more the possibility to have a windows Linux dual boot.

Even FORTRAN has come to accept the existence of lower case characters nowadays.
It's also the case that evaluating task performance is still a largely unsolved problem in many fields (e.g. programmer job performance). We don't have good objective metrics in many fields to evaluate "success" and in many cases the best we're able to do is the somewhat tautological "let the market decide" - what is good performance is just what is successful even though there are often many other factors and a large amount of luck and path dependence involved in that success.
This is literally wrong. The first amendment is as much a law or statute or provision as any other law or component of the Constitution.
Think of that 1 byte as a hyper-compressed essence of knowledge necessary to make said collage. Then it will be correct. Those models would not exist without the labor of the artist community - which in this case was used without consent and without pay.
It's not quite the same though. These images where uploaded to Google, they are required by law to not host child porn, so of course they are going to classify the images.

The Apple thing was them proposing to run the classification on your phone. On personal, not uploaded anyware, images. People felt that was crossing a line.
If you buy the Ubuntu version, then you don't have Windows on it at all. No license. Which is why the Ubuntu version is supposed to be slightly cheaper.

But the general public, non-Linux users, will find it much less attractive if there's no Windows license, making its resale somewhat more difficult.

And as I said, that is what I do; I bought the Windows version of the last-gen XPS 13 and installed Linux on it (dual boot).
