Based on how it's going with some of my friends now, the next few months/year might just end up being a blur until things stabilize a little.

I suspect you're better at your job than you think. I certainly wouldn't suffer having someone on the team I wanted to fire for 10 years. It does sound like you're tired of your job though.

Take whatever paternity leave you can. If you can afford one, look into getting a night nurse, which can help relieve the stress for you and the mother.

Since you've been at the job for 10 years, my guess is that if you can find another one, you'll likely be paid more. Interviewing is intimidating, but not everyone has a nightmare parade of leetcode questions. You're absolutely going to strike out at interviews. You just have to accept that, there are likely companies that you'd be a perfect fit for.

I don't know anything about your work now, but if you're looking for a place that gives you a little more breathing room, why not look into City/State/University jobs? Former classmates who took jobs working on city systems may not be making the most, but they got great benefits, good wlb, and a pension coming to them.
Sadly, people will upgrade even at this price point. Nvidia is in the business of selling the shovels in this age of AI/ML arms race.
Raising MSRP doesn't undercut board partners, it allows board partners to charge more which is what they want.

Personally I think what they're doing is maximizing launch profit without totally crashing the 30x0 market which has a supply glut, something else board partners are worried about.

I'm really not sure why you think this is bad for board partners - you haven't really explained your reasoning and what you did say doesn't make much sense. This is all positive for board partners. It's the cheap founders edition cards that undercut board partners.
Nice blog post, the part about jQuery UI is spot on. There is lots of talk here about how a bit of jQuery is all sites need, but it always turns into a giant pile of complexity when writing all of the transitions rather than just the state that you want.
By that logic, shooters could still have Quake graphics, and given how people still play it, I guess that's right.
This announcement just shows the need for Intel to offer something competitive in terms of price to performance. These cards are absurdly expensive.
> you're moving around too fast to really appreciate (or even notice) the difference RT gives you over fake reflections.

You're also at a disadvantage running the graphics on High.

In any game that I want to play at a "competitive" level, I always put the settings to the absolute lowest settings so the computer always gets 100+ FPS.

No reason to even try to optimize. The point is winning, not it looking good. In fact, in some games, the developers have had to go back and make it more fair for higher settings because of low settings hiding tall grass.

OF COURSE there is a difference between an honest business transaction and being tricked. Plenty of colleges charge unreasonable sums for useless degrees while promising access to upper echelons of society. Wouldn't you rather take practically useful training while getting paid at least some money, provided you know what it will cost and what are your options to get the fee waived? I am not saying these particular cases were so rosy.
unless you're Apple and have your cake and eat it too...sometimes I wonder if maybe the design goals at NVIDIA and AMD are misplaced a bit
The end of the article states that: "A Tyson spokesperson said that Ramsey left the company last year on his own accord, unrelated to this arrest."

So it seems he was a FORMER executive, making this article even more irrelevant.
yes, there are limits to how much heat can be removed by a dual-slot blower without making it extremely loud. open coolers can do a bit better, with the trade-off that they dump most of the heat inside your chassis rather than out the back.
ccache https://ccache.dev/ is great for C/C++, but it would be excellent if it exposed a more generic interface for use in the way this article describes.
I was gonna upvote this comment but then I realized it's not clear who you're saying is the toxic community that can't handle the opinion.
I can really recommend weasyprint for (markdown→)html→pdf generation: https://github.com/Kozea/WeasyPrint

Things like columns, footers/headers, hyphenation are all easily done with modern CSS.
It's well guided as a goal from a social planning level. When thinking about what to incentivize and penalize with governmental regulations, it makes sense to drive out living environments and industry towards more efficiency.

But I agree it's very misguided if it gets turned into strict quota system that everyone is locked into. We don't want to turn civilization a zero sum game.
> If you try to cancel the contract they either take back the phone or you pay them. I don't see how unlocking a phone screws the provider.

It's because some people will cancel the contract, but can't or won't pay. A locked phone is effectively collateral.
Nope, I'm with you. React inventing a half-baked, partial re-implementation of objects/classes (in a language that already has them!) with super-weird declaration syntax & runtime behavior, just to avoid telling their userbase "Ok you will have to use classes sometimes, for certain functionality", was when I started looking around, because they were clearly out of real problems to solve that were sufficiently good-looking-on-a-résumé, and it was just gonna go downhill from there.

Class components were/are just fine.
I'm curious if you've had experience with their enterprise package?

I can understand people's gripes about things on the free/cheap packages, where Cloudflare makes decisions for you, sometimes ones you don't like.

But as an enterprise customer, I've never found it to be anything short of fantastic - I can tailor it to behave exactly how I want, and not interfere with my customers.
> Currently in a situation where our company is asking us to work weekends and extra hours because of a poorly managed project.

I'm not going to say you should never work extra hours but 9 times out of 10 this is a HUGE red flag. The company is responsible for managing timelines and setting priorities for what you should work on. I have occasionally put in a few extra hours (I'm talking <10 in a week) in a crunch period but never for more than 1 week in a row. Anything after 1 week starts to become the norm and that's not what I agreed to when I joined. Salarried does not mean they own you.

Weekends are 100% out of the question except for production emergencies (and if there is an emergency every weekend then no, there's not, don't be tricked into that BS). The business can decide to move the deadline or cut out some of the features but they can't decide to just get more hours from you for free (or rather they can but don't put up with that shit, find a better job).

I have a friend who was in this situation and he hadn't talked about it with anyone until he was nearly at his breaking point. He was telling us (we had met up for drinks) that he was working till 8-9pm if not later almost every day, every week and still feeling like he wasn't getting enough done. He was having regular breakdowns and crying at his desk. Sometimes you are in so deep you don't realize how absurd the requests from your company are and they were guilting him hard about it. This is someone I greatly respect and I would have never expected him to allow himself to be treated this way. We set him straight and told him to set boundaries, only work till 5pm, tell his boss to set the priority but he wouldn't be working overtime. He was in a contracting situation so his actual boss wasn't really involved in what the client was asking him to do but his boss was not a good boss and didn't help him out at all (meaningless platitudes were all he gave, he should have stepped in and set boundaries with the client). He set the boundaries, pulled himself back from the brink of despair, and started looking for a new job. He found one and he is much happier now.

Companies will take (and sometimes guilt you into) every hour they can get from you and rarely tell you to work less. Set boundaries and if they balk then start looking (though it sounds like you should start looking immediately no matter what).
Apple M1 showed us that it’s possible to increase performance while keeping the power consumption low—laptop level low.
If you're able to take Paternity, take it. It's going to be a whirlwind, especially if this is your first child, and this is likely the first real stretch of time you've had off in your entire adult life. It's hard to bond with a week-old child, but spend as much time as you can with the baby and make yourself available to help mom with anything she might want help with.

The good news is that the baby sleeps... a lot. You can only fill up so much time doing laundry, cleaning bottles, and doing dishes. You will have some free time, especially at the start. Use some of this time dusting off your resume and learning some things that interest you that you haven't had the chance to dig into previously. You should be free from the typical day-to-day work stresses so, if you're like me, this might actually be enjoyable. If you're already confident you dislike your job, maybe even try to get an interview or two scheduled during this time.

Once you're back to work you can evaluate with a clear head just how much you (dis)like your current job, and you should have a clearer idea of how close to the chopping block you truly are. Some employers have a knack for making you feel worthless even if you're incredibly valuable.

Make sure you're prioritizing your family; it's a lot easier to find another job. This is an very exciting time- enjoy it!
Good article, there are still startups out there (some in late stages) choosing mistaken strategies that don't allow them to get or incorporate user feedback.
Of course my assumption is that the system will be cooled adequately, avoiding any thermal throttling at sustained maximum load. That's true for the current hardware generation too.
It's worth pointing out that if you ignore the fact that Snowden is in Russia, then you are ignoring important context.

In his situation, it's not like he's free to write and publish anything he wants.
I believe people who admit when they are wrong, instead of refusing to talk about their past errors in judgement.
Congrats on the launch. I've worked in environments with structured and unstructured standups. And the former is so much more impactful.
I played the same way. Well, I took a motorcycle because the traffic was always way too slow. Sometimes I'd stop to Judge Dredd some random Crims if it was on the way. The world looked pretty, but the traffic and pedestrian AI was just so weirdly silly that it wasn't exactly an immersive experience. Relaxing to blast through traffic at 120kph on an Akira bike though.
Didn't this just happen with Alzheimer's research??
I believe you out of sheer respect for your auto card tuning project, but in general someone with $1M of a product to sell has a conflict of interest with giving good advice about its quality.

I disagree that every comment you make in a community has to stand alone and reintroduce yourself lest a newcomer flies off the handle without knowing who they’re responding to.

That is just annoying. Nor do I think it’s a convincing point coming from someone who suggests they aren’t new here.

imo people new to a community could slow their roll esp in a debate.
If your wife works, seriously consider her not working. This makes a lot of financial sense actually, because if you are in a high marginal income tax bracket, and her salary is low, it might cost more money for her to work and to send your kid to childcare than for her to not work and stay home with the kid.
Yeah, many times. I'm always joining a new contract with at least some people from the previous ones. Never had anyone care in the slightest - it's not like the person would've stayed anyways. Why is it their business at all? The person doesn't belong to them.

Same background here.

I don’t believe in quitting cold turkey and I don’t think there’s anything available to fully replace all aspects of React. We’re instead gradually transitioning our internal ecosystem to use less React-specific stuff, positioning us to migrate (or not) in the next few years.

- Move from CSS-in-JS to vanilla CSS

- Avoid React-specific libraries, both developing them internally or when selecting third-party deps

- Keep business logic out of React components whenever possible

Etc
Live templates ( keyboard expansions ) , so that ';' in python expands to '' etc.
It is not. The whole point of the EU is to pool sovereignty for common benefit. Germany is constrained in things it can do: it cannot ban the importing of French wine, give huge subsidies to its domestic steel industry to gain market share in Europe, or stop Bulgarians entering the country.

Of course, there is no EU army enforcing EU law, so a sufficiently damn-the-consequences German government could do these things, at the cost of destroying the single market.
They greatly increased cache sizes, and cut down the bus width. Same what AMD did on RDNA2.
It screws them because someone just stops paying them taking the phone to a different network with another sim.
A 24GB card is not for gaming. It can do games, which is convenient, but no game currently made needs that much.
Even if power is expensive, it only uses that power when you are using it. The whole card is 450W, so maybe 3 hours of intense could be a dollar? The card isn’t going to be running 100% for any game I know. Compared to a slower 250W card, the premium is 1/2 that. With that it’s like you agree to pay an extra dollar for 6 hours of gaming. With expensive electricity. I feel like this is conservative and doesn’t seem to bad for people considering the most expensive consumer card on the market.
As I get older I'm just becoming less interested in video content of any kind. TV shows don't interest me. Movies hold negative interest for me. Nothing beats a book, frankly. I feel sorry for the people in the bottom 80% of the IQ spectrum for who reading is more difficult or who don't have minds that are interested in ideas.
I honestly hope nvidia’s monopoly crashes and burns to ashes…
I was in a situation not unlike yours when my wife got pregnant but I was unemployed, and hadn't had a W2 job for a long time.

You have a job, take a deep breath - but clearly you will want a new job sometime soon.

My advice is to focus on people - don't be shy or embarrassed about reaching out to everyone you've ever worked with or been friends with in the industry about how you're interested in new opportunities.

I found a job while my wife was preggers through the husband of an employee of a freelance client from years back. Most people like to help people when they can!

Apply the same belief in your dad abilities to your job abilities and I trust you'll land on your feet.
A lot of ADHD/autistic folks (including me) will note that a primary frustration with the DSM-5 is that it defines our conditions in terms of the things that frustrate other people rather than in terms of what we actually experience and how it affects us.

Lots of our behaviors "interfere with common social interactions"... if that interaction is with a neurotypical person who expects us to conform to their values. Differences in values and communication style are framed as something diseased that we need to change, rather than something different where we need to create mutual understandings.
Well, who are the owners of the factory (not the products they generate), because the infrastructure energy cost (concrete, aluminum, steel, semiconductors) is huge? Are we just counting the people... and if we're counting corporations, shouldn't it be the people who own those corporations. Aren't stocks ownership? Debt is a bit more complex since that lien could be double counted (if it was ever all paid off), but in most cases more money just gets created by banks and few growing companies lower their debt burden over time when you count commercial paper.
With DLSS they will look like a blurry mess. DLSS is just pathetic upscaling.
Steady demand (ie gamers) is good for making investments into the future. A massive flood of temporary demand (ie crypto) is dangerous. If they make huge investments to be able to meet crypto demand and it disappears in two years, then the manufacturers are overextended (probably on loans); they might go under when the flood abates or they might drive prices down to levels which cannot sustain future investment. The flood of crypto demand also harms their steady market of gamers: witness how much resentment has been expressed toward crypto and Nvidia in this thread.
Chelsea Manning got a presidential pardon - what was Snowden's option?
Cloudflare is the one blocking a user based on things that aren't their fault; I'm happy to blame them.
I think this is true. It also reminds me of one possible purpose of regulation and government, given the majority will usually be happy to throw any sort of minority under the bus for the "greater good."

This also reminds me of the anxiety of Google deciding to just ban my account for some reason. They can't be bothered to commit resources to making sure mistakes can be resolved. They don't care to lose a fleetingly small percentage of customers.

Not sure I have an answer. Just a thought.
I have bigger things to worry about personally as far as my energy consumption is concerned, but the main way this impacts me is that my wife and I probably need to get some electrical work done in order to support our devices being in the same room. Our two gaming computer towers theoretically have a maximum combined power draw of 1800 Watts, which is well above the 1450 W which I think is the maximum sustained (not burst) load for a 15 A residential circuit in the US. This is ignoring the few hundred extra watts for monitors, speakers, laptops, and a couple lamps.
It may be due to the codebase I'm working on, but I doubt it since I assume I have decent colleagues (I'm in a FAANG), but I just fucking hate React.

I spent years working on Angular before changing team, and there everything makes sense instantly. It's just normal programming, normal MVC, normal everything, and you basically only need to learn about the syntaxic sugar for data-binding and stuff like this.

In React it seems like they reinvented the wheel and they thought a circle was too easy so they made it in a 5 dimensional shape. You have 18 ways of doing anything and they are all deprecated, your logic and your template are mixed which turns your application into an unreadable mess, every single aspect is overengineered to death, requiring you to call useState() to have a fucking boolean that you can update, everything is stored in a variable or declared as a function instead of in classes, etc.

I'll have to give a try to React from scratch where it's not on an existing codebase, but I don't think that's the real issue.

It's been more confusing for me to go from Angular to React than to learn a functional language after years working with imperative ones.

MD Anderson Cancer Center Selects ViewRay to Expand Mr-Guided Radiation Therapy
I have done +12 langs and who knows how many data formats, sql/dsl dialects and all that.

One simply trick I do is use different Editors/IDEs for each lang, with distinct themes.

So for example, I associate work on python with Sublime, json/js with VS Code, Rust with IntelliJ, Android with Android Studio (yes, I know I could do both in IntelliJ!), Swift with Xcode.

It super handy this way because one big trouble of do all in the same UI is that "switch" bring everything at once, instead when all is their focused UI have things side-by-side with different themes/fonts let everything be distinct.

Weirdly, I can't like the same theme/font across everything, I suppose some stuff look nicer here than there :)
You have ten years experience as a programmer and it sounds like you've been working your ass off. Get some help preparing your resume and you'll have no trouble finding another job. I agree with another comment that you might be severely underpaid unless you've been getting hefty raises.

I just had my first kid earlier this year and I won't lie - the first three months were rough - but it's true what everyone says: sleep gets better, you and the mom support each other and learn together, and it starts to get fun and rewarding.

Hopefully your work provides some parental leave for fathers but even if they do, it sounds like you should at least update your resume and look into what other jobs are available.

Intel?! Maybe AMD, but Intel? Besides enterprise (because of other factors than actually good hardware), Intel is pretty much out of this battle.
Not "just" energy prices (which is important!) but even things like your home. Pulling >1KW through a single power socket (or 1.5-2 KW once you account for CPU, monitor, etc.) is non-trivial for a lot of people.

At that level you're really in the territory where people will trip breakers in their home. This is "you have to hire an electrician and rewire part of your house" level of power consumption, which doesn't seem sustainable? Or at least "don't turn the stove on at the same time", which seems like an awfully disruptive way to ask people to live.

Heck, at that level for homes/cities with older electric service at lower amperages, the computer is now a significant fraction of the total service capacity of your connection to the city grid.

What's the response then? "Sorry you're not living in a new build home, forget about gaming"?

For me the wall-power isn't a huge issue but now you have to think about air conditioning. 1-2KW dissipating in a closed room heats the room up fast. This is already a problem with the RTX 2000-series that I'm running now and it seems like it'll be even worse.

"Glad you want to game, now please evaluate your home's electrical and HVAC systems to ensure they are compatible with a giant box pumping 2KW of power and converting it directly to heat"
The culture and rule of “curious conversation” should remain high, and that at least counteracts “lol becuase I say so” comments or old rehashes. Higher forms of discussion is what makes this place better. Curious conversation also makes way for “greyscale” discussion, where there is room to critique your own views and that of another, as I find the black-and-white thinking in discussion an example of unthoughtful or unhelpful discussion.
