Small tidbit: for cables that are permanently installed in buildings, the insulation and jacket material is more important than the thickness. Typically these installations are inspected by the local jurisdiction and the electrical code is very specific about what gauge conductors have to be used in which circumstances, so the inspection will generally prevent anything egregious enough to cause spontaneous combustion due to heat from electrical resistance.

The bigger issue is that the insulation material will degrade over time if it's consistently exposed to temperatures that are too high, and at that point it becomes a safety hazard because the conductors are no longer properly protected. So typically cables with a higher temperature rating will have insulation and/or an outer jacket made with different materials.

Those are not my "first principles", but otherwise I'm not really interested in explaining to people on the internet what they are.

But people are free to be in public and look at things that are in public view. This is not a statement of my beliefs or principles it's just a matter of fact. If you disagree, can you provide evidence?
I honestly don’t care if the Chinese government knows everything about me. Much more worried about the American government.
Scary headline, but the important info is buried a few paragraphs deep:

"'It's a voluntary program. Let's remember that this is something that customers choose to be a part of based on the incentives,' said Emmett Romine, vice president of customer solutions and innovation at Xcel. Customers receive a $100 credit for enrolling in the program and $25 annually, but Romine said customers also agree to give up some control to save energy and money and make the system more reliable."

So basically what we have here is a bunch of people who didn't realize what they signed up for, and a clickbait headline. Thank you, next.
Just curious, but why star them at all? I've starred 11 repos in my many years on github, to bookmark some specific projects. But others in my feed star projects daily and have over a thousand projects in their star list. I'm curious to why. Will you ever check them out again? Isn't the list now so long it's hard to find things in it?
In ancient times, military differences between central/regional governments were pretty close which allowed them to break away. The same cannot be said about modern times. It doesn't matter how many protestors or armed forces a breakaway state may have if one faceless drone operator across the continent can suppress the rebellion with the press of a button.

It's entirely possible our technology progress has surpassed the government Great Filter and it is now almost impossible for empires to crumble from within e.g. CCP has experienced many "empire-ending" problems but still somehow survived to this day.
In the android App? Where? Could you please share.
Duplicates aren’t always bad… some files naturally exist in many places, and removing them from some of the places make that directory/app incomplete.

If you do want to save space by storing one copy of the bits/blocks, and still retain the index of all the original locations… you can store all your backups on a ZFS file system with Dedup turned on… (this uses memory and has performance implications)..

Or back everything up with restic:

https://github.com/restic/restic

…restic stores files encrypted in a tree by the hash, so it naturally stores 1 file but as many references to it as needed. It has lookup and list functions that can tell you what’s duplicated.

To simply find/report dups to be dealt with manually, you could quite easily md5/Sha1 your entire file tree, storing the output in a text file , which you can then pipe through sort , awk, and uniq to see which hashes occupy multiple lines … this is labor intensive… I just let my backup tools “compress” by saving one copy of each hash, and then it doesn’t matter as much (in my opinion).

If its pictures or some other specific file type that you want to focus on the most… I’d pick an app that’s intended for cataloging those. Example: Adobe Lightroom shows me my duplicate pics and I can deal with those easily there.
i think if i tried anything i would just be left to fall on my sword alone.
Time to trot out http://www.dtc.umn.edu/~odlyzko/doc/metcalfe.pdf again. (Yes, I am one of the co-authors.)

Multiple lines of evidence point to the basic value of a social network scaling like `O(n log(n))`. So getting your first million users is hard. But after you've got there, you don't have to be that much better than the competition to win. The conclusion is that social networks should be a lot less sticky and durable than it looks like.

We concluded that back when MySpace was the dominant social network. MySpace was overtaken by Friendster during the usual delays between a paper being submitted and published. Not long after, Facebook became king of the hill.

And then..Facebook remained there. In large part because they seem to have recognized their vulnerability, and so made a practice of buying new social networks like WhatsApp and Instagram before they grew up. However I concluded years ago that it was only a question of time until someone dethroned them.

Maybe it will be TikTok. Maybe TikTok gets shut down for political reasons. But the existential threat to Meta's dominance is NOT going away. Simply being king of the social media hill is not a sustainable moat.
I really like this advice! Do you have a link to the article? Would like to learn what you mean by "well formulated."
GitHub is owned by Microsoft. This sort of BS should surprise nobody.

Never underestimate Microsoft’s ability and propensity to fuck things up.

I remember when Skype was great, for example. We could easily cite 30 other such examples.
I suppose Robert Moses is the wrong man to bring up, though maybe my argument is flawed and should be totally ignored. I take it that you're taking that approach. Given the direction this argument is heading, perhaps urban planning could be simplified, pedestrian only neighborhoods with nearby parking garages provide a great incentive for people to shop at local small businesses instead of supermarkets being a one stop shop with everything from fresh starbucks to factory made bread. The French subsidize their local businesses and from what I hear, their communities are better for it. Naturally so many factors go into urban planning, and how to live in a dense community is something that will always be considered to be unexamined.
It only gets worse:

The logos for power ratings are visually indistinguishable from the logos for data rate.

So you tell your family member that they need a 40-gigabit cable, they get a 60-Watt cable, and call you back to say it's still not working.

At this point, the USB-IF is beyond incompetence and well over into malice. They hate you all.
+1 that page is usually my go-to whenever I have a bit of free time :(
If you simultaneously enforce on the younger generation the idea that a) you must be successful and b) you cannot be allowed to to undertake any remotely risky activity or think for yourself it's not surprising that the first time they have to manage themselves they struggle
Ah yes let’s use data from 100+ years ago from a nearly pre-industrial economy as the basis for what we should do today
Did you know that Youtube has a game streaming service like Twitch?

Neither did I.

They've hidden it so fucking well that even though they pay (tens of) millions for exclusive contracts, people can't find it.

But shorts they keep pushing on every UI.
There are two tools I regularly use for linux:

fdupes

They don't always give the same results. I also encountered problems scanning a smb share but I would say it is worth giving them a try.
micro$oft would rather "recommend" you things which are adverts, then things which are organically trending
I'm surprised "MAC" never appears in the paper. Does Linux happily pickup a new MAC "on wake-up"?
In your example you end up with "Hi ," instead of "Hi," if there is no name matched
TikTok has such a content and data advantage. More viewers, more creators, more content. Feels like it’ll be very hard for Meta, YouTube or any competitor to come back without coming up with a hugely superior recommendation algorithm, and TikTok’s feels hard to beat, or some kind of improved creation tools that give it a content library advantage.

And TikTok just has the momentum, the cool factor. Instagram did too when the idea of having a high quality networked camera and fun filters with you all the time was revolutionary, and Instagram was the way to take advantage of it. Now that phone power, storage space, network bandwidth, and good editing software have made watchable short video easy to shoot, TikTok is that platform.
After the ranking algorithm change to the Trending page, I found I basically stopped using it (I lived on that page before the change), I found I'm more likely to find cool projects/libraries/etc here.
> with flats with just two bedrooms going for more than half a million euros in the centers of Lisbon or Oporto. A figure that no Portuguese middle-class would ever be able to afford in this life.

Not to retract from the article, but the city center on the capital are never supposed to be affordable for the middle-class anywhere in the world. This is the most premium space of the whole country where everyone wants to live, and housing is limited, so only those able and willing to spend top money (e.g. the wealthy, not the middle class) are usually able to live there.
Higher sample rate = less delay, too.
I hate how I can’t scrub through the video on Shorts. Counterintuitively, I feel like my time is being wasted when I’m forced to watch the whole clip, despite it being not that long to begin with.
Did he subscribe to its conclusions, though? Seems to me he did.
I honestly had no idea this page existed...
Correct. Same thing has happened with GPUs. The vast majority of general purpose computers sold today come with integrated graphics. Only those who have unusually heavy 3D graphics needs, like CAD or the latest games at full quality, still buy a discrete video card.
I find this very shocking
Go finally as wel. (since 1.18), otherwise my reference would be to Java 4.

Let see how many years they will take for proper enums instead of the strange dance of type and const.

I have an idea, what about something like

I moved over to Thunderbolt plus Audio over Ethernet. This is where the growth is (Dante etc) in the high end. I think I have 60 channels of IO and thinking of adding another 40.

USB is good enough for a lot of people, though I am not a fan so that covers the average prosumer.

MIDI is a totally different subject, but I can run MIDI clock from audio which is as tight as it gets these days. See USAMO from Expert Sleepers.
For years several large web properties have been pushing machine translated content.

Sometimes they push their own, other times they prefer others badly machine translated content over the original.

IIRC the worst I saw in impact was 3 or so years ago when I found pages of Microsoft documentation so badly translated I couldn't make sense of it and with no way I could see to request the original.
fwiw, I use github stars also as simple bookmark list, with about 100 stars.

When one of my (quite obscure) repos get stars, I feel joy. I like to think starring someone else's repo has that same reaction for them, too.
It's buggy enough on my phone that anything which used to be just a short video now gets the static preview for it stuck over top of the video, obscuring it almost completely.

Not necessarily engine problems.
IG jumped and chased Snapchat with stories and that was an incredibly smart / successful move.

The same strategy isn't panning out with reels, for whatever reason.
Because no western country has tried lowering housing costs yet. And I mean actually lowering housing costs, not just talking about it on TV, posturing, political promises or making stupid mistakes like rent-freezes and such.

But blaming the poor young people priced out of their own country for not breeding, and just bringing third world immigrants with no living standards, is much easier than improving the living standards of your own population.

As long as you treat housing like a speculative investment that is squeezing the young to get a much larger return for the older owners, instead of treating it like shelter and a basic necessity for any family, why are you surprised young people don't breed anymore? The precarious job market isn't doing them any favors either.

Mass migration that puts more pressure on affordable housing and on the low-end jobs market is not the solution here. That breeds long term instability, segregation, distrust, and leads to political extremism. The solution is fixing housing, which nobody actually wants to do, because "housing prices must go UP", and the ruling asset owning class is making a killing from it.
Yeah. They shared the podium and F1 fined them for doing that because they couldn't do anything else.
Works fine for me, firefox on ubuntu (not installed with snap). I use ublock origin and it seems to have blocked a few external url's on that page so probably it's some bad js slowing you down.

The worst thing on GitHub are those “rating” badges in profiles that always say A+ regardless of the profile quality. Just having one of those is a decent screening filter itself.

Maybe! I'd definitely argue for the Kubelet to be in Rust, if starting from scratch. The apiserver is less clear. But note that at Google it's unclear those would be written in Rust even today.
It's almost certainly not due to low usage, but due to some Microsoft PM getting a promotion by making big changes.
Yeah, the article leans towards the nonsensical side. This is not a Portuguese-exclusive problem as it's happening in almost every developed country in the world right now. And in the interior of the country, not even that far away from Lisbon and Porto there's tons of affordable housing that's in line with the Portuguese economy. And let's do something about the tens of thousands of empty houses and apartments in the big cities that are being used by rich russians and chinese and hedge funds as a means to park their blood money and the out of control airbnbs before we start blaming the immigrants, shall we?

This goes back a long time. The stockbroker belt/home counties as where commuters into London live has been a thing for more than a century, since railways then automobiles made this practical.

The attitude klabb3 mentioned of "Europeans don't want American suburbs" is, as I think he is realizing, nonsense. No matter where, no matter who, the majority of people prefer detached homes with lawns if they can afford them. (I speak as among the minority who prefers dense living.)
Any entity that knows so much about you can manipulate you in ways you won’t suspect. Their government isn’t held back by the Constitution and they probably wouldn’t hesitate to influence the citizenry of their main rival on the world stage.

Yes I think the real factor is that the TikTok feed was more relevant to that age group and Instagram was more relevant to 30 something parents and home owners.

Also it sounds as if the users had previously spent more time generating curated feeds on TikTok.
For me, the explore page ALWAYS says I'm interested in the topic "vorbis audio" because of the 'topics that i follow' (I follow no topics), so that's a nice bug. 75% of the repos there never change for me.

The trending page otoh is nice and fresh, though I wish they'd change it to prevent already popular repos like typescript from "trending" (why are people starring this? ridiculous.)

I enjoy writing correct code and I know how to make it scalable. I have 9 year of experience in the industry. Never been a team leader but led my own projects since year one. I understand how teams work. Had rich experience mentoring and working with junior team members (3 in the past year). I implemented the Raft consensus algorithm in my free time using Rust. Looking for interesting projects and team funding opportunities.
To;dr: Train travel in Germany was a complete mess for business / long distance travellers in the last three months.

The other side of the coin is: the ultra cheap train ticket exposed the deficiencies in Germany’s rail system. For years, investments have been delayed and critical rail tracks have been reduced to the bear minimum of bandwidth. Regional trains and high-speed long-distance trains were sharing the same tracks. The former completely overcrowded, running late most of the time, and therefore affecting the latter. trains were running late most of the time, cancellations were frequent. Or even worse: Elderly people and small kids were stuck in standing, overheated trains (bonus: air con was defective) with no water, or possibilities to sit. A logistical failure.

I’m paying for a flat rate for all trains in Germany, not only the regional ultra cheap category. I’m using this to travel frequently from the north or the south of Germany for business matters. The service and information policy was abysmal. I had to take the cab about 10 times for long-distance travel, and checked on multiple times in hotels to stay overnight. Who pays for that? Answer: the taxpayer.

The Deutsche Bahn (German train company) was and is not prepared for this kind usage pattern.
Certified USB cables have markings indicating what type of cable it is. Power can be 60W or 240W. Speed can be 20Gbps or 40Gbps. Here's how the logos look like https://audioxpress.com/news/new-certified-usb-logo-program-...

If you buy a certified USB4 cable, it has the markings and should work as you expect it to work.

If you buy a cheap Chinese cable, it won't have any markings or it has wrong markings. It won't be possible to mandate that every cheap Chinese cable has correct markings. It would require Amazon or Walmart to do some kind of quality checking for all their sellers, which won't happen. They allow SSD scams, so they also allow USB scams. https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32628381
It depends on the CPU type (bronze/silver < gold/platinum). My workstation saw 1.4-1.6x end to end application speedups, including throttling (even on multiple cores) for JPEG XL decoding and vqsort.

[ General observation, not directed at parent comment: ]

Frequency throttling, even on the most affected Skylakes, has always been a non-issue if you run say 1ms worth of continuous SIMD instructions. How could a 10-40% drop negate speedups from 2x vector width plus double the registers and a much more capable instruction set?

It is time we buried this myth :)
Update for 2022: (e) import some random code from NPM that turns out to be O(n^2), and has a bug which results in the same output as (d) would have had. Also, it has one dependency that will be deleted with no replacement next month, and another that will be a victim of a supply chain attack the month after that.

Supplemental question (for "software ethics" option students): If you've got 3 emails from recruiters waiting replies and you're 50% sure you won't be in your job in 1 month, does that increase or decrease the desirability of option (e)?
