> I don't really see anything wrong with a browser that doesn't fully support every website and every weird example of HTML and CSS that a developer decided to hack together.

Consider from the perspective of the user. They're using chrome and browsing the web - all their favorite sites work. They switch to a new browser and some of the sites stop working correctly. Is it the fault of the browser? or is it the fault of the site?

For most users, if site X works using browser A and breaks using browser B - then it is browser B that is at fault.

Quite the interesting definition of ‘parasitically’ if you do.
I'm not sure it is. The reason that Twitter mobs hold sway over university administrators is that they represent a large enough subset of the University community, including enough individuals of influence in power. A mob does not have to be a minority.

Option A-bis: return to another kind of office

Option B: work from home

Option C: hybrid

Question: what is the goal of the employer? how do the options contribute to the goal?

"Return to the Office" is not a rethoric, there are certain metrics that are boosted by having people in the same buildings, and other that are boosted by having people work naked in their bedroom.

I'd say this " 'Return to the Office Rhetoric needs to end' Rethoric needs to end"
> Those who cannot manage their time correctly and have to work past five to get things done and those who feel corporate pressure to work past five because others are doing it.

Doesn't it depend on how much work you have to do? Whatever amount of work you can get done while managing your time correctly and working 9-5, isn't there some larger amount of work that your employer could expect/demand of you?

Yes, the amount of work you can get done while managing your time correctly between 9 and 5 is different for different people (also different for the same person different weeks, for sure). But this is why I've had trouble understanding "oh, it doesn't matter how many hours I work as long as I get my work done, the work they expect of me." What is the "work they expect of me"? For me, putting in (roughly, on average) the time my employer expects me to work is the work they expect of me, it's what allows me to push back if they try to assign more work than fits in, if they try to just keep adding more "priorities". I can, agile-style, work on whatever you say are your top priorities, for the X hours a week you expect me to work -- what I get done in that time is what I get done, it is unreasonable of you to expect more. This only works if I'm really working that time though, my end of things.

This seems relevant to me because, from the worker's perspective, it is one of the the things people suggest as advantages to working from home, in these forums -- hey, I can work half days every day, as long as I "get my work done". (There is even someone in this thread suggesting someone could "get their work done" working an hour every day. Presumably if their bosses knew that they would assign more work, and be right to do so?).

> 7950x will use considerably higher power (105W -> 170W)

The 5950X uses 180W at full load. Some measure as high as 230W. The 105W figure reported as "TDP" was a mistake.

Not sure why the specs were a big lie but this is well documented online.

> air-powered cooling being not enough

If you want to turbo to 4.1GHz or better on all cores on the 5950X, you have to spend about $60 on a cooler - water or air. The AIOs perform well. A big AIO will give you 4.5GHz. No turbo air cooling - 3.4GHz - is a waste of money.

Yes this is a very rough preliminary draft. The lack of references is a problem, although I cite the literature in philosophy for a number or people without pulling direct quotes [Timothy Williamson on modality for example]. The paper would need to be run through LaTeX, and the charts would need to be done in LaTeX. As to your suggestion I fixed some of the formatting, but it needs a complete rework later.

As to the literature for machine learning, I currently do not understand the state of the art. My understanding of the models is that they are systems of neural networks with varying degrees of complexity, but in essence are still neural networks (without A^ as described). I would need to read more on the literature or talk to someone who has as it's a complicated field. One issue is that I don't know that there is any one right model or system of neural networks that has been shown to work - some apparently do and some don't and it's been more of an experimental approach. So who to cite? Navigating the literature may be difficult.

A friend of mine is an electrician so the price was very reasonable, and it has been worth it, especially during this hot summer.
Julia 2.0 isn’t coming anytime soon, and why that is a good thing
What needs to end is the "hybrid work" rhetoric.

There is no such thing as hybrid. Either I live in proximity to the office or not. Either I buy a car/figure out public transit or not. Either I set up a home office and buy WFH equipment or not. If I am forced to go into the office for >0 days a week then I have an office job, period.

"Oh but you can work a day or two from home!" Pretty much every tech employee was already doing this well before the pandemic, and "hybrid" wasn't touted as some big perk then.
> I never claimed to be a victim of it.

Profs Negy and Katz did, and in spectacularly offensive fashion.
Docker is about doing dev at the speed of ops. That is, ops thinks it is really fast to be able to deploy something in an hour, in dev it has to be more like a second.

So far as Python I think Docker is a way to accelerate the creation of corrupted and uncontrolled environments, so often I have seen people pick some random docker image for Python which turns out to be incorrectly configured, say the default character encoding is EBCDIC instead of UTF-8.

If people learned how to use environment variables and configure their database connections and paths properly we never would have needed docker, unfortunately the only thing sheeple will respond to is a brand.
There would need to be a compelling reason to use the browser other than it being "different." For instance, the user experience you describe is exactly what it's like to use Firefox. Many websites don't support Firefox, even big ones like Vanguard. And yet, I continue to use Firefox when possible because I know uBlock Origin will continue to work in the future and I value privacy.

I count myself as a good manager, and I believe my staff would agree, from what I can tell. I know I'm not perfect. I'm slow to act, I'm way too able to see both sides of every argument, and I want to make sure all of my ducks are in a row before I make noise across the institution based on what my team needs.

But, my secrets:

1. I didn't want to be the boss, I just absolutely HATE being told what to do. The only way to not be told what to do, then, is be in charge.

2. Be open and honest in everything. If you don't know what they're saying to you, say that out loud. If you can't get any traction for whatever the thing they need at the institution, tell them and troubleshoot what comes next. If you really, genuinely understand the individual's complaints, but know that it won't go anywhere, be up front about that, and the reasons for it if you are able.

3. Let the experts be experts, support them, believe them, but also ask questions and do your research so you can (a) call out their bullshit if necessary and (b) not sound and act like a complete moron. In other words, trust, but verify.

4. Do not ignore inter-personal conflict. It will only fester, it will never get better. Your job is to manage the people, including their relationships. Nobody says you have to be friends, but you better f**ing believe you have to work together.

5. Buy drinks if the office does an after-hours, and then leave so they can shit talk you if they want. Even if you're great, they'll shit talk something about you; it's human nature.

Again, I'm not perfect, but these things are 99% of successful managing. I see my job as insulating my staff from the bullshit that flows down from on-high, that way they can actually do the important work.

I loved WFH. My staff were happy, they were productive, and they were productive in FAR less time. But, alas, the executive team here is stuck in a 1950's factory mindset of 'presence is productivity'. It's infuriating.
Exactly the same as in the office....the problem here is not being away from the office. It's management treating people like children and not setting up a proper reward system to show workers that what they produce has value.
Not really even close. Even with a 235W CPU and a theoretical 600W GPU you wouldn’t actually exceed even half the capacity of a single 15A circuit in synthetic benchmarks that stress the system beyond real-world loads.
Every situation is different, but for sure there are a group of people like me who have decided that we will only consider jobs where the work is fully remote. Once in a great while an on-site event or meeting is ok, but a "hybrid" of some days in and some days remote each week is not acceptible to me. This is not just because I prefer working at home (or very much dislike working in a typical office), but also because I like to be free to work from anywhere.

It's funny too when people use the argument about how much better collaboration is in the office. Except for certain stages of product development, collaboration is rarely needed because planning and designing is usually straightforward or the work is just routine.

Most jobs ultimately suck, so I don't have much FOMO when I tell a recruiter that I am not interested in any opportunity which requires specific on-site time.

my older Roomba did not have any of these mapping features. it would show a map of the space it crawled over at the end of a job. the next model up allowed for the naming of rooms and allowing the roomba to clean a specific room by name. however, earlier this year, my roomba received an update that now allows it to "map" the house. it's a rountine it will run around the house banging into things to generate that map without doing any cleaning. after that, it will allow you to name rooms and clean by specified room. i've never run that special mapping routine.

Errr. If you read the article, his testing was on the allocation side. The collection side was explicitly called out as a non-issue.

That said, otherwise you're right that the JVM generally makes use of the generational hypothesis depending on the collector. The Gen 0 is referred to as Eden in Java-land and uses thread-local allocation buffers that just bump pointers to allocate. They're basically just like arena allocation.

There's a small silver lining in that you can set hard power limits in the bios and amd claims it's still ~15% faster when limited to 105w. It would be nice if they just left it at that but it makes them look worse in benchmarks against Intel since most people won't check the power consumption.
What makes you think that the universities can survive without the current staffing levels? I assure you that with the maze of current funding structures, reporting requirements, travel planning, visa work, unfunded government mandates, etc., they cannot. The only way that they could survive is if the entire structure, and many laws changed. The unfortunate problem with that is then all US universities wouldn't be able to be the best in the world. Top US Universities wouldn't' be able to bring in the best from around the world, research at Universities would dwindle to a fraction of the current amount. Communication and knowledge sharing between peers at other institutions would shrink. The same people who currently complain loudest about the price of university would howl the loudest and diversity and inclusion offices closed at universities. Student amenities would be stripped. Funding for student mental health would drop. The list goes on and on.
The question was specifically about software developers.

It could be that the US underpays on average relative to the rest of the world, but they definitely overpay software developers relative to the rest of the world.
