Did you re-download Spotify from the Spotify website when you upgraded machines? If not, do so, so that you get the updated binary for Apple Silicon.

Are you seeing some sort of system misbehavior that leads you to think that this CPU usage is excessive?

Are you measuring 14% of a high-efficiency core or 14% of a high-performance core?
Twitter absolutely was trying to buy silence. Per a suggestion from my lawyer, I offered to sign a version with everything except the non-disparagement clause. They said no.

And Twitter very clearly did not give a shit about "good feelings". Otherwise they wouldn't have done it for us as surprise meetings and security guards walking us out after, with salary ending that day. If you want good feelings, the way you do it is giving people paid time to find a new job. It would also have been nice to be able to finish up my work and tidy up loose ends. E.g., I had an employee whose annual review I was in the middle of doing. She was stellar and she deserved to be properly celebrated, rather than some rando manager come in and try to guess after the fact.
Although they still massively dominate the market, the competition is out there. While it wasn't that long ago where nobody else's search results were anywhere near as good, my experience lately is the opposite -- it's hard to do worse than Google results.
Probably what they meant by that is a beta by invitation only. That may lead to an open beta based on metrics and not hand picked creators, and eventually open to anyone who wants to participate. But I am just speculating.
I remember when Firefox's motto was "your web the way you like it."

Now users have to install an extension to set a home page, which- and I'm sure this is pure coincidence- might interfere with users interaction with the search bar, known in bygone days as the URL bar. By the way, Firefox's default search engine is google.
That's cute, but who the hell still gets an ARM?

It's like going full stupid. Never go full stupid.
In 1880, the French government awarded Alexander Bell about $300k which he used to fund Volta Laboratory (Alexander Graham Bell Laboratory) in Washington, D.C. but AT&T took control of its patents (Bell System) by 1889.
I think this is why some people call software development software engineering. If you don't take into account a lot of different things and engineer for stability and maintainability it can become a headache in the future. It may be simple and direct, but I wouldn't feel comfortable crossing a bridge made of 2x4s and plywood that was slapped together in a weekend and it would just make more work for someone else down the line because it probably wouldn't last very long.
I'm not sure where this notion of UML diagrams as a silver bullet against technical debt is coming from. The whole OOAD development methodology that UML adoption was predicated on is the opposite of serious or rigorous; you can't just translate domain-level "objects" into a design and expect to end up with something sensible, that's not how it works. (In fact, unless some well-defined part of a system really has meaningful invariants that it cares about and should preserve, there's arguably not much of a real reason to even make an "object" out of it.)
Ukraine Attacks Russia Along Northern Front, Swiftly Making Gains
It was the defaults for the webui I used. Faster than I expected too, but the results were all legit.

Edit: Got home and was able to double check. It's actually a solid 10 seconds per image with the following settings: seed:466520488 width:512 height:512 steps:50 cfg_scale:7.5 sampler:k_lms. Still quick enough for some fun, but could be annoying if you're need to do multiple iterations a minute.
Mozilla also wants to deplatform/ban anyone they disagree with politically, which is the entire opposite of "your web the way you like it".
Don’t call it a ‘migration,’ Colorado’s tarantulas go on walkabouts
This is misunderstanding how the market works. If gas prices got that high, yes other fuels would come into the picture but they wouldn’t replace cheaper-to-produce American crude because of margins.

The thing about those prices that would be a concern would be pushing people towards not using fuel altogether, not the existence of more expensive biofuels.
Seconded. Though installing a server rack really reduced my need.
Yeah, and you wonder why paying money to the descendent people raped/killed/mutilated/{and many other horrendous anti-human barbarism brutality} [0] is not enough to get peace.

Turns out, people are not stupid.

A combination of directed and distributed evenly. There are 3 (sort of 4) sources of radiation.

1. Trapped protons and neutrons in the Van Allen radiation belts. The ISS is well below the first Van Allen belt but it is really a continuous spectrum with peaks and valleys. For example there is the South Atlantic Anomaly where the inner radiation belt dips lower and flying through this region exposes you to more radiation. This is the fairly distributed radiation source

2. The sun. Solar storms, coronal mass ejections, all of these increase radiation. Although these may not be facing the sun as much as you might think. The radiation bends around the magnetic field of the earth so this often affects things closer to the poles of the Earth (and causes the Auroras) and spacecraft in high inclination orbits.

3. Galactic Cosmic Rays (GCRs). These are from far off events like supernovae or black holes but are really high energy. So direction is generally "from the galactic disk" but that is a pretty wide direction

4. Bremsstrahlung. This is basically radiation caused when one charged particle deflecting/slowing down another particle. The interaction causes some radiation (usually in the form of X-rays, or gamma rays if you get something coming in real hot) but basically comes out as the vector component of how the particle was deflected so it can be from a number of directions. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bremsstrahlung#In_astrophysics
How International Hacker Network Turned Stolen Press Releases into $100M
I believe the parent comment was thinking of 1 round trip time.

Typically the TCP initial congestion window size is set to 10 packets (RFC 6928), hence ten packets can be sent by the server before waiting for an ACK from the client.

So under 15kB or so (minus TLS certs and the like) website loading has the minimum latency possible given any other network factors.
Saying that you seem to be a novice in a certain field is not an insult. I myself don't know much about SAP and that's fine. But I don't have the pretention of saying with confidence that all the customers of a $100B+ company are idiots for paying millions when they could hire 100 developers for a year and be done with it.
> If you are getting paid 5x then your healthcare costs aren’t nearly going to approach anything close to that amount.

Australia has a hard cap on how much you can be charged for. I lived in the US when I was a teen under the most gold plated of plated plans and after a protracted hospital stay that was over $2m we still have over $100k that was not covered after the company lawyers spent months fighting with the insurance lawyers. Things have only gotten worse since then.

In Australia the same thing cost $2k out of pocket.
Android is heavily adopting Rust. They rewrote the Bluetooth stack, hardware keystore HAL, etc. in Rust and new components like virtualization are heavily using it. This is also behind the effort to get official Rust support in the Linux kernel. Android defines a stable kernel ABI for Linux LTS branches for GKIs (Generic Kernel Images). For example, 6th generation Pixels use the 5.10 LTS branch via a 5.10 GKI which can be updated independent of the device-specific kernel drivers. 7th generation Pixels will use the 5.15 LTS branch / GKIs and 6th generation ones have an experimental 5.15 LTS branch. They want to work towards having the SoC drivers and device drivers written against this stable API/ABI almost entirely written in Rust even if mainline Linux is slow to adopt it.
Peter Eckersley Helped Encrypt Internet Traffic to Foil Snoops
Eisenhower was in charge of D-Day, arguably one of the most complex human endeavors. He made the majority of the decisions surrounding it, of course influenced by outside factors (De Gaulle, Churchill). He chose Normandy, he decided which units would go where, who would lead the campaign on the ground. Incredibly important decisions, yet he left the tactical decisions to those on the ground. Delegating broadly, as a good commander should.

General Marshall, Eisenhower's superior also delegated broadly, while making key decisions as to the timing of the invasion, which units would be involved, and making sure all the disparate organizations involved were used to the best effect. Again, delegating broadly, as a good commander should.

This goes on and on up to Roosevelt himself, the Commander in Chief at the time. Does he know jack about the tide tables on Omaha beach? The range of a German 105mm howitzer? Of course not. Yet he clearly mandated the important decisions.

All three of these leaders were clearly EXTREMELY competent.
that's not necessarily implied, the sets may overlap minimally
Ethernet MTU is 1500 bytes (not 15000 bytes or 15 Kbyte), assuming non-jumbo frames. TCP MSS tends to be 1460 bytes. But then, opening a TCP connection requires 3 packets anyway (so 4380 bytes.) TLS connections usually take another 2-3 packets (depending on your version of TLS/TLS parameters) so now your total payload just to establish the connection is sending 5840-7300 bytes over the wire. If we take the handshake as 50% overhead (which is quite sad mind you), then we can transmit a 7300 byte or 7.12 KB website, which can definitely make a pretty decent website.

Optimizing for 1 kB can be a fun creative exercise, but I think it's practically a bit meaningless. It's better to target something like a 28.8 Kbps connection and try to get the page to load under a second (including connection handshake < 20.1 KB), which is more than enough to have a rich web experience.
Japanese Stable Diffusion
It's not just the resources we have today, in yesteryear we had the MSDN that had an annual subscription and release, we had more books etc.

Today, there are promotions and aggressive business fighting of formalization within our field. People who slow down and plan out systems have been weeded out of organizations. People who make things and "ship" quickly are rewarded.

This has been the same with quality control in software, and even goes down to bad developers refusing to unit test.

Time to being promoted has shortened as well. Now it's not unusual for a dev to be a senior within 2-3 years. Lead in 5. That's just the start of their career. I haven't heard the last time that the title "Jr" was used.

> Build and learn along the way

It's always been that way but you had a lot more oversight from people that were much more senior.
UML is too formal for the quick and dirty world of low profile software projects.

In whiteboard examples, most people tend to come up with their own “dialect” of UML relational graphs anyway. Not to mention the ease of defining skeleton classes.

UML is too trivial to be a standard, feels like a byproduct of the 90s OOP craze.

As long as it gets the point across, who cares?
Compared to actual poverty that is experienced by billions, that doesn't seem nearly as terrible.

Ok, what do you think is more realistic for a term like 'cows', that there are only a few hundred references or that there are millions.

I'm not going to say that the UX is designed well end-to-end, but Google doesn't display more than X number of results for a given search string, ever, where X is O(100). It costs way too much money and you are unlikely to find what you are looking for by showing you more than the top X results.
I think they might be referring to the initial TCP "window size", which is how much data can be sent before the recipient acknowledges it (in multiple packets but without round trips).

I'm not recommending anything. I'm just saying that "we shouldn't rely on companies for regulation of their behavior" is not an opinion easily countered by "but we need to, just in case of regulatory capture", because it's putting the cart before the horse.
I believe I will take this advice. Thanks for saying it.
I presume because there were enough people who either liked him or found that view convenient that nobody who mattered was going to double-check his words.

Which is what happens all the time in power hierarchies. Some people enjoy that bad thing are happening, more are indifferent, and most of the rest are kept too busy to really think about it. Or too distant from power for any thinking to lead to action. E.g., America's history with slavery.

But yes, if you are paying attention, it's fucking infuriating.
As far as I can tell, any $50+ hat protects equally well. Some breathe better, or have built-in headlamp.
Yes, I'm pretty sure (but not 100%) that extensions normally can avoid CORS/same-origin/etc issues.

> The alternative would be for the extension to grab the html via API from a crawler running on a server

Oh like 'https://myplainwebsite.com/parse?url=https://example.com/doc...'
Thanks for your thoughts. If I'm understanding correctly your argument basically comes down to arguing there is a high elasticity of supply and a low elasticity of demand.

I guess I'll look into the estimates and see.

One thing I would say is that reductions in supply in one jurisdiction will compound with restrictions in other jurisdictions.

For example NZ banned new oil and gas exploration a while ago but some parties want to repeal it with the same argument as yours, someone else will sell it. But if it happens in NZ, then the US, then ... I think you reach a point where there is a non-trivial challenge to increasing supply. Then these measures will have stronger effects at increasing prices and hence reducing consumption.
> Economics as a whole is basically a right wing social science.

im not sure i would got that far, but its definitely has a strong neo-liberal bent for some time i'd say

theres a reason they used to call it 'political economy' instead of just 'economics'...
Hey, I worked for SAP for ten years and I don't agree with you. ABAP is still ugly with all its improvements, version control system and developer experience is awful. CDS views are great until they aren't, then we had this newest feature where you build apps with metadata on top of CDS views and that's where I decided that it's not a software development anymore.

I do see how Fiori launchpad is a great thing, how HANA is extremely powerful if you know what you're doing. At the same time I couldn't stand the corporate culture, QA processes and etc anymore. There're innovations and innovative teams but for the most things SAP is doing, software development is not the core competency.

Fun fact: I work with Datapath now (if you know what it is then you get an irony)
I tend to agree with this. If UML or something UML-like offers value in terms of understandability at some level of abstraction as a substitute for needing to hold the detailed mental model of the entire explicit implementation in one's head, then using it as something extracted from the implementation to provide a simplified sketch of it makes more sense than using it as an input artifact to creating the implementation.
Can you please explain why this is an improvement over the parent comment solution?
> they are still better than bing and duck duck go.

I'm not so sure about that. I curiously had to use Bing to find more information about this. Google kept showing me old news or this exact article.
> I think that this is also part of the reason why there has been a shift away from design patterns

Citation needed.

I see, use and teach design patterns every day, and I work with Data Scientists.
Controversial opinion incoming ... The people who should use UML are too lazy to learn it and instead draw weak abstractions in PowerPoint or C4. Those people are business analysts/requirement engineers/product owners. The true value of UML is that it reduces ambiguity and constrains risk through lightweight prototyping. Wireframes do the same thing. But not one PO can resist writing reams of non descriptive text and drawing impossible data flows. Developers are not the people who should draw UML.
FYI, hosted Nextcloud is offered by a variety of providers and is hardly more expensive than self-hosting on a cheap VPS somewhere. I've used Hetzner's "Storage Share" service in the past with no issues, but I don't know that they're any better than their competitors. Less than $5/month for a 1TB Nextcloud installation and no maintenance required.
Even if she did think something smells fishy, due diligence would show everything was as good as you could expect for a new company. YC graduate, just raised a $11m series A, positive Techcrunch coverage (https://techcrunch.com/2021/01/15/backed-by-marc-benioff-flo...) - it'd be hard for someone to see all of this without wondering whether it might be a reasonable promise after all.
I was recently "awarded" a ResMed AirSense 10 Autoset, which I already am in love with for the great help I'm getting from it: no more apnea and I also stopped snoring. Essentially it's the best gift my soon to be wife could receive:)

My situation is a bit different as thanks to public healthcare it's assigned to me without any insurance involved (I paid it with my taxes decades ago), which however doesn't mean I'd want my data to be read by others except my doctor.
I therefore send my data over email to the doctor, and don't use any modem connection, app or proprietary software to read its data.
The tendency to spy on patients is scary, although we should be prepared: spying on people using devices that connect to the Internet happens regularly in many other contexts, especially when money is involved, so why should we think medical devices would be any different? To me, the rule is: if it is closed and goes online, then it will spy on me.

For those interested, data can be read and analyzed easily using the (FOSS) software OSCAR: https://www.sleepfiles.com/OSCAR/

I also took a look at EDFBrowser (also FOSS) which unfortunately doesn't support the type of EDF format used by that machine as it often complains about 8 or more bit chars in place of 7 bit ones, or something like that. https://www.teuniz.net/edfbrowser/
Regarding the opening image: if it can't correctly put the marks on dice, how can it put eyes, nose and mouth correctly on a human face?
Kernighan had the experience then of writing "Software Tools in Pascal", updated from "... in RATFOR". RATFOR was a pre-processor for FORTRAN that made it look sort of Pascal-ish. People could use it to code and run unixy utilities on their machines that only had a FORTRAN compiler. Good times! Getting those translated to Pascal was a big enough nuisance to motivate the essay.
Tone policing is a form of moderation.
Yeah, specifically asked about aquafina because it's reverse osmosis water and should be entirely tasteless.

It is, uh, not entirely ideal to drink completely decriminalized water because if you're not getting those minerals from other sources they tend to get depleted over time. Much more of an issue for, say, a post-menopausal woman than a younger person.

Distilled or RO water might be your best bet.

Those ZeroWater filters produce a very similar result.

I dislike the taste of most not-completely-clean water, but for me it's just a dislike, I do it plenty. Might be you should just force yourself to do it and you'll get used to it after a while. If you deprive yourself of sugary flavored water for a while it will start to taste strange to be having something so sweet, but it'll take a few weeks.
Modula-2 had already lost that race. It was another extended, incompatible Pascal among myriad others mostly still called Pascal. Scud-pascal, Apollo Pascal, Clascal, Turbo Pascal, what-have-you.
Google has done this since the beginning of Google and it is the first time that I have ever seen this is come up.

This is something that just doesn't matter.
As mostly self-taught, I found that OOP makes more sense when you're working with many people and to simplify organization boundaries you deal with interfaces on abstract objects. Your team owns a window which calls click() on something owned by another team that implements IWindowControl. That IWindowControl interface is something you agree upon, but the internals of each object are invisible to each of you.
For that kind of person even IC1 is not a good fit instead I usually recommend they will do better as a QA Engineer, Support Engineer etc. in FAANG or software engineer at a non-tech company (gov contractor, healthcare etc.). At least at FAANG companies IC is not just coding, it’s mentoring, providing technical leadership, writing design docs, oncall, etc. This is not leadership in the sense of a people manager it’s being able to provide constructive feedback to other teammates and positively influence your team’s codebase, architecture and product. Basically being able to lead technical decisions and technical strategy.
I bet you have attended celebrations of throwing tea in the harbor.
> No, it doesn’t matter.

There's one CISO school of thought that believes the job is to run every automated scanner they can get their hands on, report results to engineering and job is done. That can certainly all be outsourced.

Another school of thought (where I inhabit) is that sure, you need to do that, but to really have a secure product or service it has to be built ground-up with security as a core requirement. You can't outsource that (ok you could but it means having expensive consultants sitting in with the engineering teams day to day, at which point it's far cheaper to have an in-house security team).
Governments are proven oppressors, Every single mass abuse of human rights, war, genocide has been carried out by government. Taking the power of the purse from government is the next big human rights issue of our age, rendering taxation by inflation impossible, and empowering individuals to hold government accountable.
