Honestly, I don't think this is fair. If software is useful enough, there are people and other companies that are often willing to put in money and resources. For a pure community example, consider the story of Jellyfin, a fork of Emby.

Open source is not a panacea. But just because keeping the door open doesn't guarantee anyone will bother to use it doesn't mean having the door open is not ridiculously useful.

I think there Is a way to tell if an open source project is robust against shenanigans:

- The more stakeholders investing, the better.

- Projects with governance and copyright not assigned to a single company have a lot less chance of needing a fork to begin with.
It's crazy to see them go, they've been a big name in the GPU space since as long as I can remember. If they truly don't expand into AMD GPUs or something else as they've said, I don't see them sticking around in the long term. A bit sad, they have been a good company to their customers.

I don't blame them though, it sounds like Nvidia is a PITA to deal with, and the recent pains with GPU shortages and mining have likely exacerbated it as well.

My best wishes to their employees, hope they all find good work elsewhere.
Here's the reason WHY EVGA is no longer working with NVIDIA:

-----

> EVGA and competing board partners have told us in nearly every launch that they don't find out basics about the very product their partner to sell, like the MSRP until Nvidia CEO is on stage. We're told this is true even for costs to buy the chip and video apparently only give us placeholder costs for some GPUs like flagships until the MSRP is revealed publicly.

> It's hard to run a business when you don't even know what the cost of your product is that you're imminently launching, we've learned that NVIDIA has both a floor and a ceiling for card prices on some cards so only flagships for the ceiling, with board partners restricted from selling flagship models above a certain cost.

-----

TL;DR

EVGA and competing board partners said they don't know the MSRP until Nvidia's CEO is on stage. Even processor and video expenses are unknown until the MSRP is released.

When you don't know your product's price, it's challenging to manage a business. NVIDIA has a price floor and cap for select cards, and board partners can't sell flagship models above a certain price.

>My work-based 2FA is tied to my phone and is non-transferrable.

If that's the case with your workplace, do they issue you a phone to use for work-related stuff.

If not, why not?

Your personal device shouldn't be required to do work-related stuff, IMHO.

I'd add that since there's work-related stuff on your phone, your employer can restrict what you do/don't do with that phone and subject your personal device to its corporate policies via Mobile Device Management (MDM)[0] systems.

Even more, if you ensure that work-related stuff isn't on your personal device, issues with either device won't impact the other one.

I realize that it's out of fashion these days to keep one's work and personal lives separate. But IME, doing so is generally a good idea.

I think the question comes from a mistaken premise. You assume that titles like "software architect" describe specific skills and abilities inherent to the programmer (or architect if you prefer). Actually every programmer who isn't just typing code from detailed instructions does software design or architecture. We just do it at different scales, and at some point we can do it reliably at a scale that justifies adopting the title "software architect" if we think that will mean something.

In the software industry titles mean next to nothing. Some companies have official titles tied to pay scales -- SWE II corresponds to a range of salaries, for example (a model familiar to anyone who works in government or the military). Mostly titles reflect what the manager or employer lets you get away with. Just like grade inflation in schools, some industries suffer from title inflation, so everyone at Goldman-Sachs gets the title Vice President, and every programmer at Facebook gets called an engineer. In truth the software industry does not have standard or agreed-up titles or levels of career progression. Over time you gain experience, hone your skills, expand your domain expertise, and cultivate people skills that let you cooperate, persuade, and lead.

Studies of software projects show that individual personalities and interpersonal dynamics play a large part in project success or failure -- a much larger part than memorizing what "the visitor pattern" means, or mastering any particular programming language or tool. That means skills and experience have more or less value and impact depending on the company, the team, and the project. A person may perform at senior or "architect" level in one context but not in another. In some teams and projects I clearly have more relevant and useful experience and expertise than the other team members, so the team and my manager may call me "senior" or "architect" or "analyst." In another context I may not play the same role -- I may work with people more senior and capable in that project and team context.

I have 40 years experience, still call myself a programmer, but I frequently do high-level architecture and systems design work, and system administration. I stopped caring about titles a long time ago, I focus on keeping my skills relevant and delivering value to my customers and employers.

EVGA is one of the most reputable board makers, so they will be sorely missed in the market. It was always worth it to spend a few extra bucks on EVGA, because you knew that they'd have good warranties and service.

At least their PSUs will still be around?
The Home Depots around here seem to still have them but I’m not sure how much they’re used.
I wonder how this idea will age. I haven't been to a bank branch in so long. Hell, I've written 5 checks in the last 2 years. I deposit the rare check with my phone or ATM. Why would I want to go to a branch? I took out my last mortgage with my credit union and still never when in the branch. My 20-something daughter never considered branch locations at all when picking her new bank.
has EVGA ever sold AMD or Intel GPUs?

AFAIK they haven't.

Bipolar disorder falls so outside the norm of human functioning to exclude “lack of morals” as a cause

For most people it is a severely limiting disability.
This seems like an ideal use case for us. I have a naive thinking of my workflow: can someone please comment if I am off track.

I am building an e-commerce product on AWS PostgresSQL. Everyday, I want to be able to do analytics on order volume, new customers, etc.
- For us to track internally: we fire client and backend events into Amplitude
- For sellers to track: we directly query PostgressQL to export

Now with this, I am thinking of constantly streaming our SQL table to BigQuery. And any analysis can be done on top of this BigQuery instance across both internal tracking and external export.

Is RedShift the AWS equivalent of this?
We kinda sorta already have laws designed to make software systems secure, but they aren't really followed in spirit. I suspect what's needed is an expansion of NIST-like bodies, more concrete specifications for what is and isn't allowed (e.g. like seatbelt regulations) and such.

Ultimately, its going to be a cat and mouse game. A really determined hacker will find a way. But admin users with permissions over everything, passwords/encryption keys stored in plaintext etc. these are things that we can probably patch up really well, and force companies that can't afford to do that to (justifiably) go out of business.

The part that's always missing from this kind of argument is: then you're wrong. You are incorrect. It's mind-boggling to me that the actual fact of what actually happened never seems to matter in this argument. Look, I understand the practical problems with a law like "It's illegal to lie on the news" -- of course that's problematic: who decides what a lie is? But if you could guarantee unambiguous, 100% accurate, oracle-level determination of lies, then that law would be fantastic for society. That's of course not possible in general, but that doesn't mean there aren't very special cases where we can get close to that. There are some things that we know for 100% certain definitely happened, and also that certain awful people have certain horrifying motivations to lie about. I'm totally fine with those being illegal to lie about. If you disagree with me about it, it simply means you are an awful piece of shit. Again, that's not true in general, about any opinion or controversial issue: of course it's not! But it's true about the Holocaust, and that matters.
I've known people who have an aversion to doing anything alone in public, even going to the grocery store. It seems to be mostly based on them feeling judged by others.

Don't think about "people". Think about individuals. Any person judging you for eating out alone isn't worth your time anyway. How petty do you have to be to sit there and judge someone for that?
I upvoted both of you because you both have valid points in spite of apparent contradiction.

Dissent, if it's based on intelligence, can be extremely useful. It's literally something that can save a society. But intelligence involves a careful analysis of facts, and it's something very hard if you deal with an army of trolls.

Thrilling. I am old but not normally prone to nostalgia. This site gets across the instant gratification one felt with the C64. I started with a Vic20 and soon chafed at the 3.2K (or so) RAM limitation. Obtaining the C64 was a quantum shift. As others have pointed out, the instructional materials were abundant and often good. Tomas Petricek's lovely site is also a model of interactive instruction.

When he explains

PRINT "HELLO WORLD"

he says "To a modern programmer, it is amazing how little it takes to get from booting the machine to printing hello world. "

When I wrote my first compiler in the 80s I made sure you could run a program that simple. I am somewhat surprised that only Python and arguably Javascript give you that kind of immediacy. With all the advances in languages it constantly surprises me that there's no universally available language that lets you start out so quickly.
> no amount of "western" propaganda will convince someone in a country that was hit by the USA or NATO bombs that Ukraine supported by "the west" is fighting for freedom and democracy

I have at least one online friend from just such a NATO-bombed (and even relatively pro-Russia) country who is an absolutely solid supporter of Ukraine's fight against Russia's aggression.

Few people who live in countries with actual historical experience with Russia actually believe this garbage "NATO backed Russia into a corner" narrative.

I am not a coauthor but do know a decent amount about AI systems from a maths and computer science degree from Oxford, couple decades coding and being lead architect on https://hai.stanford.edu/watch-caiac amongst other stuff :)

It digs nicely into the principles and is not a surface level course. The stable diffusion one will need some good work to get through.

I am suggesting that this proposal will accomplish nothing. It has no utility in preventing reckless driving, because 100 MPH is already reckless in >99% of scenarios.

Your proposed limit would only ever be hit by two potential people:

* someone who has a legitimate off-highway purpose for that speed

* someone who is already operating their vehicle at 100mph on a public road and still has their foot down.

What reckless driving has been prevented? None. In fact, only legitimate users have been impacted.

At best, we're just trading edge cases for edge cases. If we discount off-highway uses as an irrelevant edge case, then we can also discount the edge case that someone driving at 130mph did a harm to society but at 100mph they would have been prevented from doing so.

I grew up 10 minutes from Philadelphia, and I distinctively remember kids I know starting to say jawn in the mid 90s. I was like wait are you saying joint, as in a spike lee joint? and they were like no it's jawn. Around the same time everyone changed the emphasized word in the phrase "yeah it is" when in agreement. More recently it reminds me how people switched to "all the sudden" all of a sudden.
It would be interesting if a social media post/idea led to a movie.
