Engineers REALLY don't understand pricing. Models with higher specs like more RAM target the professional segment which isn't that price sensitive, most likely just having their company buy it for them. It's a way to capture more value from that segment. It's like saying why do these agencies charge $50k for a website, I could do it in a weekend.
- Have time frames when you pursue your passion in only one specific filed. For example you can decide to learn music on Sunday and keep on physics and other things for the rest of the week and never modify this habit whatever happens
- Finish what you start: It makes things worse to pile up mediocre skills and unfinished projects so start one (small) thing, finish it and go to the next.

Generally, you need very good organization system and very strict rules of living if you want to get to expert level in you field.
By the way, I find your field very interesting. Do you have a blog, or something like that ?

Networking and human connections absolutely 100% matter.

If you know the right people, you know about the need even before HR knows. You get recommended internally. Maybe you even have a meeting with an exec before the position officially opens.

There's no doubt in my mind that a networking and personal connection approach yields 10x or 100x chance results compared to a shotgun resume/recruiter approach.
I still don’t see any numbers here, so I will assume the OP comment was bull.

I feel like it's rather silly to be so concerned over something as trivial as that, like being worried over what other people think if you have a hello kitty bag. Life is entirely too short to be bothered by inconsequential external perception.
As a couple nitpicky points:

As far as I know -- and I've double-checked this just now -- Yum Brands does not own Wingstop (which doesn't capitalize the "s", even though we all do it automatically). They own "Wing Street", which is a sub-brand of Pizza Hut. Wingstop is an independent publicly-traded company.

Wingstop created Thighstop as a "digital brand" -- essentially, a ghost kitchen run out of existing Wingstop locations. This is a trick that a lot of chain restaurants started doing since the pandemic. Denny's runs "The Meltdown" as a sandwich shop; Chili's runs "Wings & Things"; you can find others. You can only order from "Thighstop" online, but you can add a thigh to combos when you order from Wingstop if you're so inclined.

(And I have not lived in Buffalo, New York, but I have lived in the South -- and California -- and can assure you there are many "mom and pop" wing shops and local chains that…aren't great.)
Indeed. And they've got designs using at least two different processes (one for compute, another for IO) but the article has examples using 4 or 5! I just can't see anyone else going as far as that.
Did you really think that the actual crisis is due to a single man choice?

Try a small game, put PR and the emotion they push aside: who need a war today? If you are honest you have to admit that the most in need of a war are UK first, USA second. UK need a war outside to avoid a civil war inside. Having essentially lost their "empire" status they are simply unable to live anymore. A war would compact people and if won give resource of the looser. USA need a war for similar reasons, mitigated by the fact that USA can actually live on it's own, even alone, "only" correcting it's crazy economy. Not easy at all, but technically possible, so practically when crisis really bite.

China do not need, but like, a war. They have a hyper big food issue, they need to conquer south America to eat. To do so they need to overpower the USA. To do so they need Russia's tech and natural resources, something Russia, a China's historic enemy, do not like that much to share to such a big & powerful giant.

Russia do not like a war at all. It's something that impose agreements with China, imbalanced. EU similarly do not need a war. It simply destroy EU itself due to the lack of natural resources.

So the plan is? Well. USA declare it essentially in the far 2004: https://www.dni.gov/files/documents/Global%20Trends_Mapping%... oh, they are formally just acritical prediction from the intelligence to the politicians. But sounds really accurate. In more modern terms: https://www.rand.org/content/dam/rand/pubs/research_briefs/R...

A bottomline: saying that UK and USA need a war means their oppressive ruling classes need it, of course NOT the people, unfortunately as most people in the world those who do need the opposite of their ruling class are the last to understand they are fighting for their own enemy that's not those on the opposite front, but those who march at their head.
Hah, most US prisoners aren't even in prison for violent crimes.
I think Chrome's reasoning for this is completely fair:

> navigator.clipboard is only intended to be used in a focused document, which is not possible for service workers. Therefore, I don't anticipate any intended support for navigator.clipboard.read on service workers

I don't think a browser extension, which I personally consider it sit in between "native app" and "website" in terms of privilege hierarchy, should be able to arbitrarily read the operating system clipboard silently in the background.
I'm not questioning that part. I don't know if stating that we'll never know about the origins of the universe is correct. I tend to agree personally that it seems premature.

All I'm saying is that making (nearly) absolute claims with incomplete knowledge is not a contradiction.
Like other people said, I'd just go with the Framework, either Windows or Linux.

I think there are a lot of issues with Apple and their products to the point where I'd rather not use them / support that company.

One of many examples would be how they handled the butterfly keyboard issue. If a hardware vendor behaves in such a way, I'd never buy another product from them again. In fact, Lenovo also had a few 'support issues' over the last few years, because of which I won't recommend any of their products here.

Maybe view it this way: no product is perfect; no product will fit everybody. When going for a Windows laptop, you have a _much_ bigger selection of products (and vendors) to choose from.

Pick a machine that fits your needs; don't bend your needs to fit the machine.

This is what baffles me the most.

A few years ago I was ordering a fair amount off Postmates. One night I ordered something that was decently expensive. When it came the food looked nothing like the picture and was so bad it was borderline inedible. I threw it away in disbelief that a restaurant could possibly be this bad and after a bit of research I discovered that this wasn’t a ‘real’ restaurant - it’s one of these converted buildings that operate on a delivery only basis through the apps.

I tried to complain to Postmates but they ignored me, gave me copy/paste e-mail responses and didn’t do anything.

So I never used Postmates again, and likely never will. A lot of these businesses are run to try to make quick profits at the expense of establishing long-term trust and they will ultimately fail.
CIGS has close to zero market share. CdTe is around 5%, last I checked.

The vast majority of PV sold is crystalline silicon. The only toxic element used there is lead in backing sheets, but even that is being phased out (in part for environmental reasons, and in part because higher efficiency versions of Si cells can't tolerate the heating needed to bond to the lead; in any case there is nothing essential about the lead.) The only rare element used is silver for front contacts, but that could be replaced by copper with the use of a very thin layer of nickel or molybdenum to prevent reaction of the copper with the silicon.

The environmental impact from PV is largely from the mundane components, like steel, aluminum, and glass. PV to power the world would use these materials in small quantities compared to that used for global industrial society as a whole (global annual production of steel is 2 billion tonnes, for example). If that society deals with the impact of its overall non-energy activities, it could deal with the impact of building and maintaining a PV energy source to power it.
> Ok but what about Poland?

Given how deeply ungrateful the Polish government has been towards the rest of Europe, especially Germany, in the last twenty years or so, pulling the evil German Nazi card whenever their will was not completely fulfilled while at the same time leeching off mostly Germany-originated monies, they can go suck it for all I care.

> Germany is obligated to defend Poland, Romania, Lithuania, Latvia, etc.

Nope. Read the relevant contracts. Nowhere in it it says that we need to "defend" anyone. NATO Article 5 states that an attack on one of the member states would be considered an attack against them all - and countries have endured attacks without retaliating (See: USS Liberty incident).

> You honestly think Russia will not invade them?

Not in the immediate future. Russia is overextended as it stands, they are obviously unable to stage another war for quite some time.

> Or that Germany will not be obligated to spill blood in their defense?

Also, we are not obligated to spill blood in defence. NATO Article 5 just states that we must take an action that we consider necessary - and not to aid the affected party member - but to restore peace and stability in Europe. If an aggressor blitzkrieged say Estonia, the whole thing was over in 24 hours, and everyone remaining was convinced that that's the end of it, peace and stability would return without any action necessary. Also, actions can be very little., they could be a strongly worded WhatsApp message to the aggressor.

This ambiguous meaning has been put in by the US, by the way, supposedly because they themselves thought it was not a good idea to sacrifice New York for Paris.

And Article 42(7) TEU only talks about "mutual aid" in case of armed conflict, which can be as little as sending some rice crackers.

How?

You put some modern panels on your roof that absorb power from the sun that now no longer gets absorbed by your roof - so your roof is now a little cooler. A wooden roof is now actually less of a fire risk and a tiled roof will now absorb and radiate less heat - bonus!

I live in the UK. We build from sticks n bricks. We've had a bit of a heat wave recently that concentrates the mind somewhat. My office (I'm the MD) has a vast expanse of red brick double skinned which is south facing. My desk environment is around 10C warmer than the external temperature (I have a lot of sensors deployed). I have now decreed that when my desk temp is 30C then we abandon ship and work from home.

I'm going to investigate skimming the red brickwork with a white render. My parent's house is a modern build and that seems to help.

Oh, fire risk? What on earth are you on about? Insurance risk? What are you on about?
Define a "GUI" - web, native, or non-native

Define "complex" - is that 38 elements, 130, 510, or 927? Do modals count?

Define a "line" - JS can be minified, Elm is terse. Do you count libraries?

The problem is you're speaking in such vague, ambiguous generalities that you're also falling into the trap of focusing on having "impressive" lengths rather than the nuances of making things in the real world.
> Its a full footprint measurement.

Nope, I was interested and looked at a few publications compiling it, and as its name says it only takes directly attributed deaths into account. Albeit it will count air pollution and particles from coal operation as leading to deaths.
An example of that:
https://www.nextbigfuture.com/2011/03/deaths-per-twh-by-ener...

Of course that number also relies on governments providing the stats, and no gov wants to give accurate numbers on what’s happening with nuclear waste for instance, or water pollution. Even now the JP gov. is in half denial as it would be a further economical catastrophe to fully own it.

A way better number would be the maintenance, healthcare and environmental cost per energy produced, which would put nuclear way behind anything but fossil energy.
> give us an example of a macro or microeconomic model that is incapable of prediction and it's (therefore?) all ideology?

Generally, the more a theory talks about how the past actually happened the more it's ideology than falsifiable science.

Take Marxism. It's largely a history of class struggles. There are testable bits, e.g. the labor theory of value (which is wrong). But most of it is unfalsifiable. Similar to the barter-then-money origin of money story, which offers zero predictive value while also being archaeologically unsupported.

Yes, but (continuing the argument) the rest of the world has also invested significant resources into Ukraine to counter his ownership claim (in a way that never really happened while he was solidifying his hold on Russia).
> the data shows it is more likely to happen and be more severe from an infection with Covid-19 than from the vaccine.

No, not when stratified by age group. 2nd dose of moderna vaccine is 6x more likely to cause it for < 40 year olds [1]. If you stratify further (12-25) I suspect you'd find it's even worse. There's also a dose dependence where your chance of myocarditis increases with the number of doses [2], which not only corroborates [1] that the 2nd dose of Moderna is significantly higher risk, but that even 2nd dose of Pfizer puts is basically equal odds with the actual thing. And considering it's not either/or (i.e. the vaccines are not 100% effective at preventing your catching covid), this would mean that the vaccines are a net harm for younger age groups.

The dose dependence also seems to indicate some sort of cumulative effect (i.e. with enough infections or enough boosters, some vulnerable segment of the population will almost guaranteed to end up with myocarditis). Since we don't know how large this vulnerable segment is (perhaps somehow related to long-covid susceptibility), it's irresponsible to blindly recommend or mandate boosters for everyone.

> the vaccine simulates an infection with Covid-19, but gives your body the upper edge as the virus is not produced in it's full form and can't reproduce.

You could alternatively hypothesize that when acquired "naturally" the virus (and whatever proteins it ends up producing) don't immediately go into systemic circulation (instead it needs to progress from respiratory downwards), and the body has time to mount an attack before it hits systemic circulation.

I'm interested in your take on Director. It definitely has a legal definition taken on its own. But Director as a level is also really common too; sometimes it gets switched with Head of etc. (Fwiw we regularly hire IT Directors from SMB into team manager roles)
Do not compare yourself to Carmack at all. I really respect him as a programmer but I don’t think his lifestyle or story is ‘normal’ and can be emulated by regular people. Nearly none of his advice has helped me, for instance. He occasionally stoops to the level of regular people and says something like “If you aren't sure which way to do something, do it both ways and see which works better.” As for his history, focus, lack of social philosophising, working regime… it’s not for regular people.

"Make money" in many energy markets is a misnomer, because not all markets pay out. For instance, I have home solar in Massachusetts, where I get a billing credit at the end of the month for excess generation. I can't cash that in (so I'll never be paid), but it does give me a "free" way to use electricity in the future. (Yes, I know it's not really free, because there's no return - I effectively lose money to inflation.)

I could do something economically productive with the billing credit, like charge EVs or mine crypto, but I consider that more a knock-on effect than a moneymaker.
Just to mention, this is all known by people in the publishing industry... just not known outside it as heavily.

Slightly surprised nobody has mentioned org-mode under Emacs. It’s a slightly orthogonal use-case, not strictly editing native LaTeX. But it does a million things well, especially organizing documents of various lengths, and then exports very nice LaTeX. Not just that you could subsequently tweak, but allowing includion of arbitrary LaTeX that also gets exported.

For many use-cases it can be much more efficient to step back and let the LaTeX get written for you.

That has happened a lot, but the gp is also correct, there are quality products that are inexpensive simply because they have been around forever, so people think they are boring or outdated. There are some really good deals on spirits for instance, that simply aren't popular, but have always been high quality. Eventually someone writes an article about it and they either raise the price, or it is unobtainable.
Interesting! The idea to visualize the "transitions" sounds very useful.

But there could be other causes. You are operating under the default assumption long COVID must exist. But non-grads on average are poorer, work in different environments, and have different health (i.e. obesity and diabetes) than grads. There could be any number of underlying health conditions causing brain fog and other long COVID symptoms. Obesity and diabetes are known to impact brain function and are correlated with Alzheimer's. Sedentary lifestyles and poor diet can also lead to low energy.

The reason I say placebo is because any of these pre-existing conditions could be blamed on long COVID. Think about it: you don't know much about diseases, you see CNN/Fox News/MSNBC talking about long COVID. You think to yourself, hey I've got those symptoms! You blame long COVID, even though the underlying cause could have been obesity, diabetes, sedentary lifestyle, diet, etc.

We know obesity is harmful yet the fat acceptance movement exists. Do you think those people are going to blame their symptoms on their obesity?

This article couldn't be further from the truth! All you need to read is this comment.

Economists don't think, they feast. Mostly on the blood of the innocents but sometimes also on the bounties of nature or, rarely, on the delusions of idealists. Therefore what you must do is to learn how to feast, this is easier said than done since you cannot feast alone (unless you are the blessed one).

Nonsense such as "the economist" must be guarded against with thick sarcasm, maybe even borderline surrealism, this way you can shock your sense of discrimination into the configuration required to believe in the local tax authority. Which is a requirement for attending their feasts and learning the basics of economics.
