11 years ago was only 2011.

My 2011 desktop has a 3.5GHz 4-core i7 processor, 32GB of RAM and of a 1TB SSD.

In the interim there's been the adoption of USB-C, improvements in energy efficiency and widespread 4K display support - but raw performance numbers aren't much changed. Go to Dell with $2000 and with the laptop performance penalty they'll offer you... pretty much the same specs, except the CPU will have some extra 'efficiency' cpu cores and be called '11th generation' instead of '2nd generation'.

Are you perhaps thinking of some previous decade, where 10 years meant 20x the clockspeed and 2x the cores?
I have mixed feelings about this.

The main problems I've had with HDMI and USB cables are (a) buying cables that I'm sure meet my requirements, and (b) trying to figure out if the cable is to blame when debugging poor results.

If there's a trustworthy logo program, that should help. As long as retailers don't try to obscure the logo status of the products.
I'm confused as to whether you're saying that a few centuries is a decline or not. When these civilizations were first forming do you believe that the elders would have looked at the youth and seen them as strengthening?

I can’t imagine using an x86 based Mac in 2022. Especially with the $999 MacBook Air being so good.

If you care about little things like speed, battery life, heat, etc.
There’s another scary Goldilocks aspect too, which is what I thought your comment was going to be about when I started reading it.

Stuff with a really short half life is horribly radioactive, but not for long. Stuff with a half life of millions of years sticks around forever, but it’s not throwing off that much radiation. But stuff in the middle (a half life of perhaps decades to a thousand years) can be very dangerous and remain that way for a long time.
Is there such a thing as "clean gas" and if so, how does Russian gas qualify here?

Also, isn't it Russia that's throttling gas delivery to 20% right now?
"Allowing people to participate in society is great but hardly humanity's goal."

Not only does your comment show ignorance of a significant percentage of humans, it also shows you have zero idea of the fact that good accessibility provides service to everyone.

Have you ever struggled to use your smartphone while driving (temporary blindness, because your eyes are focused on the street),

or pressed the wrong button while sitting in a bumpy, shaking bus, because the button you actually wanted to press was way too small (temporary hand coordination disability)?

Accessibility's best practices also exist for everyone to enjoy a great usability.
It's getting headlines, it's exactly what they wanted. Kudos to the Australians on this one!
Should, but in the market place its called 2K. Check Amazon, BestBuy, NewEgg, etc.

The marketplace terms are now like:

Full HD --> 1920x1080

2K --> 2560x1440

4K --> 3840x20160

> I do not understand why we accept such low standards from our governments.

The short answer to that is "the police have effectively executed a soft coup, and no politician or political process can meaningfully oppose them"
Images with this description tend to be good so it suggests the model should make good quality images. Other terms include "4k" and "unreal engine 5". All things held equal, it's not unreasonable that the model has the capacity to draw poor images intentionally.

It's a stupid temporary problem
Use of proper nouns are also commonly a failure of the speaker/writer instead of the listener. When the speaker/writer uses technical terms in speaking to the public then it's their fault for not recognizing that those terms WILL be misunderstood by the public.

Consider the case of discussing "preventative care" vs "medically necessary care". If someone from a medical facility or health insurance company used those terms when talking with a layperson then they've failed. The layperson certainly doesn't understand that those terms are have a specific meaning in the industry and they will likely misunderstand the terms.
Yes, but I started reading recently. I got introduced to Eli Bendersky’s blog[0] and when I went through his reading summary & book reviews; I got motivated enough to start reading!

Another, related phenomenon is when scientists confuse themselves into believing that what they’re studying and a common noun are the same thing. For example, the Big Five traits or whatever “happiness” means in happiness surveys. Labeling an axis with a common noun doesn’t make it coincide with the common meaning, but it ensures it will be confused with it.

This is why scientific names for species are useful. Too bad that practice isn’t used more in other sciences.

Californian's have at every chance voted to make themselves landed gentry. That means low property taxes, restrictive zoning, and often just total bans on building. At a hyperlocal scale it makes sense, allowing things to be built can be bad for the homeowner next door, it just leads to the insane home prices we see now.
I mean, come on. Deck is in beta version, how can you ever compare it to a decades old OS.
> India leads total shutdowns globally. In 2021, the world’s largest democracy shut off its internet 106 times – more than the rest of the world combined. Hardest-hit was the conflict-ridden region of Jammu and Kashmir, which was subject to 85 shutdowns under the guise of containing separatist violence. The blackouts shut down Zoom classes for students, stopped doctors from communicating with their remote patients and crippled the banking system, causing mortgage holders to default on their loans. Apple crops rotted before they could be sold and businesses were paralysed.

India was a leader in Internet shutdowns in the years before 2021 too. Don't for a moment assume that the hardest hit region of Jammu and Kashmir is the only one. Internet shutdowns are routinely used in most states whenever the state executive or law enforcement thinks there could be some trouble. Sadly, the Indian judiciary is more of an ally to the executive, and doesn't consider these "sledge hammer" approaches as questionable or challenge-worthy. Strict control over the Internet and Internet based companies (which would be almost all) are of prime importance to the majority lawmakers and to the executive. That theme, which goes hand in hand with surveillance, is a major thread across the country, and a major threat to the "of the people, for the people" slogan (these are not "by the people", many of whom are taught what to think and believe by...media owned/influenced by the majority parties).

I know. It's only >100% 'efficient' if you ignore the input of 'outside heat'. That is not a normal calculation, and not really called 'efficiency'.

It's desirable for multiple reasons, of course, but it's not efficiency.
An M1 Macbook Air is still the best laptop money can buy for general use, and they are easily had under $700. I cannot comprehend who is buying a $2000 laptop at this point outside of gamers and video editors.
None of these finding feel related to the vehicle being an EV, but are instead because the vehicles are expensive. I bet if the comparison was done against similarly priced ICE vehicles only, then the results would not be so different. A Mercedes S-class is also ridiculously powerful, quite heavy, and full of technology that is expensive to repair in an accident.

In the USA at least, most EVs are still lighter than the most common vehicle sold: the full-sized pickup. Which have the added safety issue of having bumpers aimed at the heads of other drivers and pedestrians.
How about instruction in skills like martial arts, riding horses, etc.?

It's just a company. Take your time and spend it with your family, and don't stress about it. In a decade you're not going to regret bonding with your spouse and child and missing some work.
Tree planting in Americas/Europe hardly makes a dent in co2 capture. The real issues are elsewhere in Asia (Specifically China) and South America.
I would love a less algorithmic set of problems, ideally ones that could highlight and capture the imagination of the common newbie. I think web scraping and getting and keeping track of prices of things is a good one but that usually involves much deeper topics and libraries.
Highlighted by the stupidity of not buying directly from Russia at normal prices but instead buying the same hydrocarbons extracted by Russia from war washing third parties like China and India who resell Russian hydrocarbons to those who for political reasons can’t buy directly but can buy indirectly at inflated prices!!

It’s the height of stupidity.
Well if anything doesn’t scale it’s humans.

I’ve been switching up my sales pitch for the productivity work I enjoy doing to frame it as scaling humans vertically instead of horizontally. Messaging overhead grows more slowly that way.

I would suggest a read of Accelerando ( https://www.antipope.org/charlie/blog-static/fiction/acceler... )

The economics gets touched on in "decade eight, third millennium".

In the world of Accelerando... well... I suspect that the new and rehashed ideas of social media would be a gold mine.
Housing supply doesn’t grow by all that much though, so a “relatively small amount” is enough to tighten a market.

In any case, censuses define a household as people living together in a unit, which would account for roommates. Portugal has gone from 3.7 in 1960 to 2.6 in 2011. Housing 10.3M people at 3.7 requires 2.8m units; 2.6 requires 4m units. And that may be just what Portuguese people have to put up with, but not their desired end state; if they were at the EU average of 2.2, then it would require 4.6m units.

Anything >= 1995 is enough for word processing offline. Maybe even anything 10 years older. The big problem here is that laptops from that era have clumsy screens and are loud as a jet. Battery life might be a problem too.

The real problem is exchanging data with the rest of the world. My old backup laptop from 2006 (Core Duo 2 7xxx) is probably still OK to browse with an adblocker. I'm not sure it would be OK to edit on a site with a SPA frontend (Medium, etc.)

My current laptop is from 2014 (i7 4xxx) and it's still perfectly OK to do anything I care about. It was never OK to do other stuff (e.g.: gaming or ML, which was not a thing back then.) Of course it's slower than more modern hardware but not by so much for what I have to do () Certainly not for browsing or word processing.

() It's slower than my customer's M1 on Rails test suites (5 s vs 8 s on a project and 50 s vs 75 s on another one). To be fair, my customer is handicapped by running docker on his Mac but docker and the M1 are their choices.
I've had Cherry switches fail right as the keyboard's warranty was up. The switch feels soft after wearing out, it gets dust in it and starts double typing, etc. Pacemakers need to be 100% reliable, not 99.9%.
Sounds ridiculous on its face, and that is as a practitioner of permaculture. I couldn't really get my head around how it could possibly make even a slight dent against the massive flooding witnessed here.
I know. You can't just ignore the bulk of the input and still call it 'efficiency' though.

Even manufacturers call this 'coefficient of performance', not efficiency.
From a technical standpoint Apple's processors are industry leading- they licensed the core tech from ARM, but their combination of getting them built on advanced production nodes and the tight design integration into the products makes them stand out. And Apple's software support is a couple years longer than most other brands- so an iPhone will continue to be useable in terms of speed and security longer than most Android phones. From a development standpoint, developing for Apple devices on an Apple device is a better experience.

I would say that most other things are on par with other devices/brands, and so you would trade on individual things that you prioritize- screen quality, battery life, compatibility with particular software, etc. And there are a couple small areas in which Apple probably doesn't make sense. For basic video editing, I might still use Apple devices. But if I was creating a rendering farm for an animation studio, I'd probably build servers with video cards and parts that weren't Apple.
Awesome work, I love these kinds of ports! As someone working on a desktop environment in the browser, it's great seeing more apps coming to the browser.
I don't do any selling on Amazon, mostly purchase, but the interface and the tools for what I understand is to aggregate products for selling into one place is spot on.
This one doesn't beep, it plays a short, unobtrusive musical tone. And $140 is very cheap for a microwave oven.
This was solved in the past by coining new terms in french, or possibly latin. I like the current system more. Granted, people may assume they know what a term means when it's made up of words they understand. But it is usually quite clear from context that a phrase is being used in a technical way, and thus has a specific definition. If you need to know that definition, you can google it easily enough, or even just guess at it.
Seen way too many failed Cherry MX (OG, vintage and third-party) switches to believe that.
This is misleading, vanilla Bedrock edition allows for a bigger render distance but has a much smaller simulation distance. There's a whole miriad of differences that they're not at all in feature parity.
Not just you who's saying that, but it's a thing that keeps being repeated. You didn't say it helped at all, while in reality it does. That's the thing people are going to remember.

Ask anyone if they want a 10% discount on their energy bill (while helping the environment / energy transition to boot) and see what they say. I don't think it's going to be "nah, not worth it".
Some good and interesting ideas, but ultimately it falls apart into the same old thing: "the problem with the internet is that we aren't censoring people I disagree with."
Yeah I think that’s probably an argument a court would agree with. I wonder to what extent it is applicable. Is there not harm to Israeli peoples if Google refuses to build a data center in Israel?
Take the leave.

It is already hard enough to adjust to parenthood. Use it or you will regret it in the future.

You should not be worrying about your teams. If you did your job right, they will self-manage and someone will step up to help call the shots while you're out.

Take the hit to productivity of not having another person on the team for the duration of your leave. The world will go on without you.

Wth. Clicked for swe wisdom, got rambling about someone's childhood.
Back in the 90's, when cellphones started to flood Tokyo, my neighbors bought one for their 6 year old son. The Japanese cellphone for kids only had three buttons - call mother, father or grandmother.

That didn't last long.

But I thought the whole point of the German thing was to give everyone a little something?

This seems very targeted at one specific group (those commuting regularly) that is only a small part of the population affected by the cost increases. In fact train tickets have not increased anyway.

It seems a bit strange giving one group so much and the rest nothing.
It isn't a concrete example, there are too many relevant details to put in a HN thread. We can't really discuss his exact circumstances, he isn't on hand to ask what alternatives he & his striking workmates actually considered. And you're asking me to work with the premise that there is literally no alternatives when that is really the fact that is up for debate. If the only option is to destroy wealth then sure, do that. But he isn't going to get wealthy that way.

> It's not his preferred plan. He'd prefer not to have his pay slashed and would prefer to dedicate his energies to doing his best work.

Those are 2 bad plans.

I suppose I'll ask anyway - how many alternatives has he seriously considered? Has he seriously considered any alternatives that might get him a good outcome? What were they? There have to at least be some that he considered before giving up and saying there is no alternative. This presents striking as Plan B.

> Despite your early protestations, I think you're ideologically opposed to the idea of striking.

Yeah. I'm saying that if the best decision is to strike then he's screwed up some decision in the past really badly, that is fundamentally an ideological take. Having a coherent ideology is an important tool for wealth creation. Most of the wealth creation from the industrial revolution onwards has been due to ideological innovations. Capitalism is an ideological position; it just happens to work a lot better than people who think striking is a practical way of securing a lifestyle.

If he is using striking as a tool, he's going to stay poor.
Not yet, I haven't had much time to look into it all yet.

Looks like it's going to be a lot of fun though.
banning and blocking is easy; building bridges is hard. It is documented in modern times that the first to leave a war zone are the teachers and the civilian medical people -- they can't function as they must in a world built with passkeys, barbed wire and bulk control rules. The PP here has a commercial medical system, so of course the first consideration is protecting --money-- privacy of --insurance records-- patients. Go ahead and block the world for the medical insurance, it is a block already by its nature.

The question now is, will any civilian communication survive the battles of nations and currencies.
Beep boop. Not a Russian bot, a German one who is just pissed of by the current politics and the elitist decisions.

And I hate it that any alternative proposed to the current kamikaze politics is called "Russian bots".

Yes, German nuclear plants was yet another trash decision and pushed again by the fear agitated by the Green Party. And yet, the majority wants nuclear, the Greens are against it.

We need REALPOLITIK and not this ideological trash. And REALPOLITIK to beat the biggest thread: global warming... and not some random conflicts between random countries nobody cared about 7 months ago and some random old pseudo-dictators that will anyway not be alive in a few years anymore.

It sounds like you have quite a bit of knowledge on the subject. I had to get a pacemaker a couple years ago, and am an embedded engineer. I hope to live another 50 years at least, so this is an interesting subject for me.

Maybe my cardiologist is just trying to make me feel good, but he says my leads will likely last 30-50 years. Intuitively that seems unlikely, but we'll see. It's got to be one of the most engineered cables in existence.

The leadless pacemakers are indeed a technical marvel, but they aren't yet nearly as feature packed as shoulder implanted devices. They'll keep your heart from stopping if your nerves are flaky from time to time, but they don't have the energy storage to do much more than that. Mine monitors every single beat my heart takes, and automatically reports issues to my doctor via BLE. (Is bluetooth more or less scary than radioactive isotopes mounted in your body?)

For about 8 months, my AV nerves were completely broken, and the pacemaker paced my ventricles 100% of the time. It was a nearly perfect drop-in replacement for the failed nerves. A leadless pacemaker wouldn't have had nearly the same performance. My nerves eventually started mostly working again, and now I'm on track to have a battery life pushing 15 years.

It would of course be great for the technology to advance even more over the next decade. Since my nerves mostly healed, a leadless device with a 30+ year battery life would be a nice replacement. With a shorter battery life, I don't really want to be collecting them in my heart (they don't plan to remove leadless pacemakers when they die.) I'm hoping by the time my current device is worn out, it will have logged enough telemetry for me to convince my cardiologist that I don't need a pacemaker at all, though.
It’s still about lack of information. Building random units in an RTS without information is like replacing random car parts, it might work but it’s likely to be wasteful.

Of course risk vs reward can still favor replacing parts early or building units / eco.

Well they certainly tried. After a few months of politicians giving lip service to their cause, followed by about 6-12 months of the cops mercilessly beating the shit out of them without consequence, protesting in the streets about policing started to look a lot less interesting and effective.
If a member of the government asks their friend in a social media company to quietly take down a post, they are using influence and corruption (of the company) to impose government censorship. If they ask the legal representatives of the company to make a policy decision to take down a post, there is the implied threat of regulation, and it is government coersion. Both are legally violations of the first amendment.
