Crypto has not automated away anything useful beyond toy projects nor shown potential to do more with less. If crypto disappeared today its disappearance would have zero impact on goods and services.
In Proof-of-Work, a large fraction of the money you put into the system is destroyed. There are physicially meaningful economies (and dis-economies) of scale involved. You are generally incentivized to sell your cryptocurrency as fast as possible to cover your real-world costs (lowering the price of the cryptocurrency).

In Proof-of-Stake, you are incentivized to keep your money into the system so you can control more and more of it. It's like a ponzi scheme where you are incentivized to re-invest your winnings. This falls apart when everyone starts to cash out.

The use of bitcoin mining as indoor heating is one such example of a dis-economy of scale (but this is an oversimplification because it does not factor depreciation costs). Also, there are systems like RandomX which encourage CPU-based mining, which has economies of scale for home miners or botnets over larger mining operations.

Their customer service is awful. You have to downgrade the Chromecast built-in on all new models to get it working with certain apps, and there's nothing on the forums about it.

Hulu Live TV app is broken, forums are full of posts, absolutely nothing Nvidia is doing about it besides posting broken English instructions to reformat the device.

My friend sold me hard on the Nvidia Shield PRO and I went with two to replace my house's Rokus. Two weeks into all the problems, I reconnected the Roku for all the streaming services, the Shield is for Plex only.

Pretty disappointed.
The completely one-sided nature of your post makes you either unbelievably ignorant or utterly dishonest. Either way, you are part of the problem.
Good explanation but not what I'd perceive from a post asking for grit.
FWIW I'd think what the OP thinks (and shy away).
Founder here.

You have correct observations and ask the right questions.

1. We do promote our content. It's not enough to support the development.
2. We could afford a generous freemium. Unlike Figma, Lunacy is resource-efficient and has no pressure from investors.
3. However, collaboration requires cloud, so we'll charge for cloud storage.

TLDR Lunacy will be a highly generous freemium.

Definitely don't get the Shield if you use the stream apps. Nvidia's support for them is awful and their forums provide no help.
From the Zig language reference:
Zig has many instances of undefined behavior. If undefined behavior is detected at compile-time, Zig emits a compile error and refuses to continue. Most undefined behavior that cannot be detected at compile-time can be detected at runtime. In these cases, Zig has safety checks. [...] When a safety check fails, Zig crashes with a stack trace
You’ve got ones like VcXsrv on Windows, which was particularly handy for running GUI stuff in WSL a few years back (before Microsoft provided a first-party solution in WSLg).

Correct, the best way to unite a group is to attack its core values - a sure way to bring people together. If we, as Europeans, allow Russia to proceed, just to stay warm in winter, we'd give up on our core values, which are what makes us a democratic Europe.
Interesting. How is this encoded?
With a ban on advertising the biggest companies the ones we all know will benefit as no alternatives would be known. Some brands can spend endless amounts of money and I wouldn't purchase their product because of past experience or reputation.

Banning advertising would collapse industries or reduce market size and limit any expansion efforts.
Yeah but that's mo different than choosing to advertise on this old house or another TV show. It's just advertising, not targeted.

Come on, it’s not like the linux user space was ever not fragmented. That’s sort of the deal with bazaar-style development.

After enough time some best practices do solidify into standards, but it wasn’t overnight in X either, and first and foremost it wasn’t made with that in mind. Wayland has protocols which are queryable and provide a very good way of implementing more and more standard ones from the experimental “fragmented” ones, and I don’t see much problem with this model in practice either.

Just wanted to add that they save folks that can swim as well. A lot of folks can swim a little, but not enough to get to shore if they are in the middle of a lake and wouldn't handle a current really well. Heck, even if you swim well, exhaustion is a danger. Life jackets help folks. Period.

It’s a lot more complicated to be honest.

There are different ways to end the conflicts and different degrees of support possible. Some European countries were in favour of pushing for peace talks far earlier but the current Ukrainian government has complete support from the USA and territorial ambition of its own.

Belligerents are not into it out of the goodness of their heart you know. It’s not really about saving Ukrainian lives. It’s actually far from obvious that prolonging the war saves lives. But most of the EU has taken a very Atlantist position on this conflict and at this point it’s probably better to keep going and significantly neuter Russia.
You can sign away certain rights or accept certain terms that would otherwise open avenues for a legal claim though, which is effectively what OP means I think.

That is exactly what libraries are for, not protocols.

Should Web Standards mandate the use of a given JS implementation because it hinders the creation of new ones?

Also, the million+1 “de” under X are more like skins, there is absolutely no reason for them to exist in that form, they could just build on top of another wayland compositor.
As a manager this could be biased (I was also cynical so hope that kinda negates the bias). Managers (especially front line ones) have to be mouth pieces of the organisation. They have very little choice in going beyond the written formulas (sorry leadership rubrics) a co expounds. Kinda the worst job. You need to enforce the rules set by the S but take on all the risk (have you noticed how there are bad managers but no bad "leaders"?). Why do they then become managers? We actually want to learn how to run a business in its entirety (beyond just tech) and the HR enforcement aspects are a sad price to pay.

But everything you said about cults etc holds true. Just that I'd expand that beyond something what just managers want.

The phrase "depending on how you want to measure it" is doing a lot of work in this post, the rest is American exceptionalism. San Marino has a constitution that edates back to 1600. Iceland has had a parliament for 1,000 years. Even leaving aside the fact that many of the world's democracies were deposed by the US government in the 20th century, the US has neither a notably long-lived nor notably democratic system of government. What it has is a huge military budget, and that enables it to seed governments in the way that it chooses.

50-80ms of non-predicted input lag is not terribly much? Surely you must be joking.

Dota is fine because it has network prediction and a finite and well defined set of inputs.

And that's also ignoring video compression artefacts which are that you introduce if you send a modern GFX pipeline across the network. Computers screens can no longer be described with just filled rectangles and text.
This can only be a failure of the student though. It doesn’t take much common sense or computer skills to Google which degrees can actually aid in getting you a job. You could say some blame is on parenting as well, which is true. However, the colleges can and should be able to charge whatever prices they want for whatever services they provide.

The only standard the college should be held to us complying with false advertising rules and laws. They shouldn’t be allowed to market a degree that can’t get you a job as one that can.
STEM majors are scams too. Just because you can manage to pay back a $200k CS bachelors in ten years doesn’t mean it was a good decision. It’s definitely not good for humanity.

$ man 3 inet_aton

[…]

inet_aton() converts the Internet host address cp from the IPv4
numbers-and-dots notation into binary form (in network byte order)
and stores it in the structure that inp points to. inet_aton()
returns nonzero if the address is valid, zero if not. The address
supplied in cp can have one of the following forms:

a.b.c.d Each of the four numeric parts specifies a byte of the
address; the bytes are assigned in left-to-right order
to produce the binary address.

a.b.c Parts a and b specify the first two bytes of the binary
address. Part c is interpreted as a 16-bit value that
defines the rightmost two bytes of the binary address.
This notation is suitable for specifying (outmoded)
Class B network addresses.

a.b Part a specifies the first byte of the binary address.
Part b is interpreted as a 24-bit value that defines the
rightmost three bytes of the binary address. This
notation is suitable for specifying (outmoded) Class A
network addresses.

a The value a is interpreted as a 32-bit value that is
stored directly into the binary address without any byte
rearrangement.

In all of the above forms, components of the dotted address can be
specified in decimal, octal (with a leading 0), or hexadecimal,
with a leading 0X). Addresses in any of these forms are
collectively termed IPV4 numbers-and-dots notation. The form that
uses exactly four decimal numbers is referred to as IPv4 dotted-
decimal notation (or sometimes: IPv4 dotted-quad notation).

p90+ effort for p90+ comp.

I imagine there are businesses out there with the gross revenue to support hoards of median engineers doing clearly defined jobs with unsurprising workloads. I used to do that at a well funded public org. It was easy and required little effort. It required the opposite of grit.

People with grit find their own problems, solve them, and you don’t even hear about half of what they did unless you ask. Initiative, drive, and the ability to actually execute to completion autonomously, or even better to autonomously organise a group of ICs to make impactful change — those are the people with grit I want to work with, and how I see myself.

If you are deliberately adversarial about the amount of effort you are putting in — a common canard is bringing up work/life balance, as if it’s something unique only they care about — then you’d probably be much happier working for HP or Cisco!
It's an investment. You buy bitcoin because you believe you'll get a certain amount of value back when you sell or exchange it.

There is no "pure" store of value. All investments, including gold, all currencies, art, baseball collectibles, even food change their value over time. When people mean "store of value" they mean something that appreciates more than the commodity they exchange it for.
At least everywhere I have worked, employers have been far more worried about the opposite of employees spending time on things that have easy answers, if only they had asked.
wrong. you need to save away old ptr and assign to the realloc 1st arg. memcmp is also wrong, compare the values, so that the compiler knows about it.

void *ptr = malloc(73);

void *old = ptr;
void *ptr = realloc(ptr, 42);
bool realloced = old != ptr;
> There is no way people would say, "We are cold so it is fine to kill Ukrainians."

We killed one of our former presidents at the execution wall because of rationalized food and cold in our homes. I am European.

And before anyone comes in and says: "you killed Ceausescu because you wanted communism deposed!". No, we didn't, we wanted "communism" that would provide us with food in the stores and heat in our homes, "communism with a human face", as they were calling it. That's why at the 1990 general elections we overwhelmingly elected a former Communist Party apparatchik.

I own a Sony A80J and this is also what I was measuring.
I'm thankful I did measure this before just blindly turning the feature on.

I have a Bose Soundbar also with Chromecast and that one doesn't suck down 25W+ while on standby and can thankfully turn on the TV via HDMI CEC.

Sadly the whole OS experience is shitty on the TV. It's 2500€+ TV and the UI is sluggish, Tv takes at least 5-10 Seconds to turn on each time and still comes with the classic google ad like interface.

I bought a Chromecast remote that works via bluetooth to somewhat make the remote feel a bit faster, but it sadly just makes a tiny difference.

Nvidia Shield still feels like the only real option when you want a non sluggish Interface on your multi-thousand euro/dollar purchase.

On August 29, 2022, the official website of IECEE released the CTL resolution DSH 2182 on batteries, involving the standards #IEC 62133-2:2017, #IEC 62133-2:2017/AMD1:2021

Details are as follows：

Question
The second charging procedure for test purposes, Clause 7.1.2, requires a charging cutoff current of 0.05ItA. When cell manufacturer defines a different charging cutoff current, which one shall be used?

Decision
0.05ItA shall be used.
However, on request of the #manufacturer , a separate set of tests with samples prepared with a manufacturer-defined cutoff current can be conducted for reference purposes. The upper limit charging voltage of cell shall not be exceeded while charging with the manufacturer-defined cutoff current.

Explanatory notes
The charging cutoff current carries an implication on the state-of-charge of the samples and the probability of test compliance.
Therefore the value defined in the standard, 0.05ItA, shall be strictly followed. On the other hand, considering that cell manufacturers #design their products with a possibly different charging cutoff current to reflect intended usage conditions, it is allowable to conduct a separate set of tests with that charging cutoff current in addition to 0.05ItA.
Testing with this different charging cutoff current is for reference purpose only. In accordance with Clause 7.1.2, the upper limit charging voltage of the cell shall not be exceeded, regardless of the value of charging cutoff current.

>transaction fees will prop miners up (though it hasn't happened yet so it's valid to be doubtful this'll happen in practice)

No, they won't. This is a common talking point, but it is rarely accompanied by facts. Consider that fees currently amount to about about a percent of the total miner payout. There is some research that indicates that bitcoin is vulnerable to a class of double-spending attacks known as selfish mining:

https://eprint.iacr.org/2020/094.pdf

http://fc14.ifca.ai/papers/fc14_submission_82.pdf

>And also depends what you mean by securing. All clients, miners and not, are capable of checking transaction and discarding "insecure" and invalid chains. I don't need a miner to tell me if your transaction is valid or not.

No they aren't. You misunderstand the fundamental design of bitcoin. The problem is not that the non-mining nodes cannot verify signatures or something, the problem is that these non-mining nodes will not be able prove to each other that the signatures to not refer to already spent funds. The non-mining nodes cannot conclusively prevent reorgs that can be used for double-spend attacks.

>All clients, miners and not, are capable of checking transaction and discarding "insecure" and invalid chains.

They do this by selecting the chain with the highest amount of PoW associated with it. If the network hashrate is low relative to an attacker, then any attacker will be able to easily overpower the network and decide which chains are invalid.

"The most surprising new adman is Apple. The iPhone-maker used to rail against intrusive digital advertising. Now it sells many ads of its own. As sales of smartphones plateau, the company is looking for new ways to monetise the 1.8bn devices, from smartphones to smart earphones, it already has in circulation. So far it is only dabbling in ads and does not report sales figures. But Bloomberg reported recently that Apple's ad business was already generating sales of $4bn a year, making it about as big an ad platform as Twitter. Apple executives believe there is much more to be had."
