It's explicitly a non-conclusion that there is a deterministic relationship between speed of execution and energy consumption as your initial comment implies.

> Execution time behaves differently when compared to en- ergy efficiency. The results for the 3 benchmarks presented in Table 3 (and the remainder shown in the appendix) show several scenarios where a certain language energy consump- tion rank differs from the execution time rank (as the arrows in the first column indicate). In the fasta benchmark, for example, the Fortran language is second most energy effi- cient, while dropping 6 positions when it comes to execution time. Moreover, by observing the Ratio values in Figures 1 to 3 (and the remainder in the appendix under Results - C. En- ergy and Time Graphs), we clearly see a substantial variation between languages. This means that the average power is not constant, which further strengthens the previous point.

There is a strong correlation, yes, which makes sense because more time will likely correlate to more work done by the hardware. However the paper proves that there are exceptions to this rule. That's interesting given that most people, including you, would have flatly assumed that performance is a proxy for energy efficiency.

You could argue that it's not a finding which is going to be relevant to most software engineers, but it might be interesting if you are designing or implementing a programming language for instance.

It appears to any end user that knows some basic logic and looping concepts that the advanced AI/ML/whatever recommendation engine is no better than looping over the list of recent content (videos, products, etc.) and selecting more content that has same keywords. If you remove the volume and distributed systems elements for large systems its probably a single SQL query joining 2 tables, history and products (or videos or whatever).

For the bike rack example, to make it "smarter" you could have a product type that is something like "one-time purchase" and have a linked product type that is accessories for the one-time product, like helmets, pumps, tire changing kits, inner tubes, water bottles, etc. This would be what a retail worker at a bike shop would do - ask if you need any accessories, maybe point out clearance/sale items. Thats it, no fancy engines/AI/ML needed. If the customer wants other stuff, there is a search bar they will likely use.

I chalk it up to Resume Driven Development and just the innate tendency of engineers over-engineering things because that's how our brains work.

That is easy to explain: because it is easier/cheaper for Cloudflare to build a solution that works for 99.99% of the people and simply throw that extra 0.01% under the bus. So the simplest explanation is "Cloudflare knows random users will be locked off the internet, and is happy with the trade-off".
> Would you rather hire someone that solves your "exact" problem, or the one-man Army that -could- do everything?

I tend to contract to the guy who can solve my exact problem. Because if the problem can be solved I don't want to pay for headcount permanently. I tend to hire long-term the guy who can solve multiple problems, but less speedily.

Which, of course, is different if you mean "hire someone who solves a class of recurring problems I have with a specialized skillset" from "solve the exact problem"

The only obvious downside I can see is that these protection limits have to be set within the operational envelope of the CPU to be effective. That effectively narrows the range of possible voltages and frequencies that the user can use the CPU at. Some types of overclocking would go out of the window.

On the other hand, such checks could be disable-able at runtime by sufficiently trusted code - although you obviously have to choose between security and overclockability.

There is also the issue that such things are decidedly 'analogue' things - and integrating them into a digital design toolchain sounds hard. Trying to tell EDA software 'send this wire all the way around the outside of the chip and back to where it started' is a bit like trying to tell a C compiler 'I want you to write all the code so all jumps go to prime numbered memory addresses'.

I don't know if I'm a generalist or more someone who's simply curious and not intimidated to get stuck into stuff I have zero knowledge of.

I seem to have acquired a fairly diverse set of technical skills compared to most devs which has it's advantages, but at the same time I know at times it can make it hard to explain to employers what I do and how I can be useful to them. Sometimes this leads to me being underutilised, and in my opinion under appreciated. It can also make interviews difficult because employers like you to talk about relevant experience where my experience is all over the place.

I personally think my skill set is awesome though. I tend to be the perfect candidate for smaller companies where technical specialisation isn't feasible. Need someone to do some some UI/UX design, frontend development, backend development, devops, AI, SEO, QA? I can help. I've worked with almost every major language at some point in my career and while I'm not great at every language, I'm familiar enough that I can get whatever needs doing done.

I do try to keep my frontend development skills current enough that I can call myself a frontend dev when needed. Generally for contracting or when applying for positions in larger companies this is my best route. When I'm in the door sometimes I can branch out a little, but it depends on the company. I do worry I might fall behind at some point due to my lack of focus, but honestly I think people who specialise too much fall into that trap more often. If the technology you specialise in becomes redundant, then so do you. Having a broad set of skills gives you a technical safety net because there is always something else you can fall back on, even if that comes at the cost of fitting less perfectly into any specific role.

So no, I don't regret it and I think it's actually an advantage if you can sell it correctly. Learn as much as you can in my opinion. There are definitely companies out there which really want great generalists who can just get stuff done.
Abortion is the termination of a pregnancy so it's obvious that the "safest" is referring to maternal mortality.

I don't know about games but some of their book bundles are still quite good, especially (on the technical side) the ones from O'Reilly, No Starch Press, and Apress.

They also have occasional Manga/Graphic novel bundles which are nice as well.
I think H. S. M. Coxeter's books are good sources for training in geometry, leading to ideas in groups. I haven't looked at this book by Stillwell, so I am not aware of the difficulty of problems presented in this book.

There is an old Schaum's series book on Projective Geometry that was very useful to get the basic ideas quickly. It may not be an elegant presentation of the subject, but it was very quick, and to the point.

All said and done, synthetic geometry (not analytic geometry) is not very easy, and it might help to create models (wire-frame or 3d cardboard or plasticine/play-dough) to visualize things. They may not help to solve the problem rigorously, however.

By coincidence, I am slowly working through another of Stillwell's books, on Reverse Mathematics. You are right, his way of presenting things suddenly makes things you know snap into place.

Yes that's true about any sales really working, but I thought car sales was an interesting mix of volume and high dollar sales.

Obviously selling a $1M Saas enterprise contract is even higher dollars, but you probably don't get to try and close 5 of those in one day like you do in cars. You'd be lucky to get 5 in a month I assume, if not quarter.

You could get more sales practice selling items at an electronics store, but the stakes are lower than a $50k car so you won't learn the reading people part because few people totally shut down when discussing buying a stereo.
Professionally speaking, if you're not an academic researcher, I think "specializing" is mostly synonymous with pigeonholing yourself into a worse job market.

Also, this might be more controversial but I don't believe in "interesting fields". In the industry, the interesting part comes from the ambition / novelty / stakes / impact of what is being undertaken.
Why quackery? As the page says the test itself is not enough for a diagnosis: the result will be interpreted based on whether your child had symptoms of food allergy in the first place (rash, bloating etc.), which is what, I believe, medical history / physical exam is referring to. If yes: that's the likely culprit; if not (and you just got this test randomly for no reason?), the chance of a false positive is 50%.
Recently I saw a video on my youtube feed claiming to be a "Live" crypto discussion with 4 people including "Elon Musk". It looked pretty legitimate so I checked it out. It was obviously pre-recorded and re-streamed and a scam. So I flagged the video and 4-5 hrs later got a notification that it has been removed. The next day the same video appeared. I flagged it again and it was removed 4-5hrs later (note there was 50k+ viewing the live stream). The next day it appeared again. I stopped bothering to report it.

Does youtube not have a responsibility to protect viewers from fraud? Surely they can detect the same video being posted again?

I wonder how many people are losing money to these scams.
That is a bit different take on.

When you are working in a company - if you don't want to have new responsibilities you don't touch it.

You touch WiFi router - well now it is your responsibility if WiFi stops working. You touched sendmail - well as you wrote quotes "expert".

But to be specialist on something it still requires quite in depth knowledge than "you were last one to touch it".
> The structured data on sites, unfortunately, still requires a crawler to index that content

How is that any different from requiring a crawler to index XML sitemaps?

> At a minimum, adding some metadata content to XML sitemaps

The purpose of a sitemap is to tell a web robot what resources there are, with some minimal metadata about page titles and last modified date.

Google has some extensions for identifying images and videos.

But that adds more work for site maintainers, who have to duplicate work.

Ukraine was strongly under Russia’s influence for most of its independent history. Given the behavior at the beginning of the invasion, it seems that the Russians were attempting a coup, likely followed by establishing some military presence, similar to Transnistria for example.

Other countries like Eastern Germany, Romania, Poland, Bulgaria, etc were under Soviet occupation for decades. I believe that the absolute worst case would have looked like in those countries. The more likely case would be a coup, purge of political apparatus and military bases.

I believe you’re talking about conscription in regards to the LPR and DPR. Yes, that’s bad, but to answer your question in the sibling comment… that’s war. Men have to fight whether they want it or not, unfortunately.

Where can one read from an impartial organization about what happened in the DPR and LPR? Does cleansed mean killed, or that they fled or were arrested?

Nope. It's actually how it worked. They patented it and published papers about it.
It operates similar to saying to a spouse or in-laws or other family that you like some <collectable item> and they are the type that runs with it until you have to awkwardly tell them "No more". Every holiday, birthday, random "oh I saw this and thought of you" type of thing.
If we expand the argument a bit, we might say that we're okay with some bathtubs but not others. If there is a slight chill or the water is ice cold, we feel trapped, but if we like the temperature we're fine not plunging into the ocean.

It's true that we can't avoid having our thoughts affected by our environment but it feels weird to know that so much of our mental landscape is determined by alogrithms or persons that are not connected to the actual material or social fabric of our lives.
No, Russia isn't waiting for a reason to invade the Baltic states. If they wanted, they could have come up with it any time. However, that would mean a war with NATO, which they couldn't possibly win. So far they are struggling badly with the few modern weapons delivered by the NATO to Ukraine.

Having this split happen through occupation would be a disaster. The west does not have anywhere near the manpower necessary to make this happen. The rule of thumb is that the occupying force needs to be 5% of the population, which means 9 million for Russia.

However, it could happen naturally. If the Putin regime collapses it is quite likely that a clear successor widely seen as legitimate doesn't materialize. If so, the many autonomous regions of Russia with regional identity could declare independence and make it stick.
I mean... it's not a question of "I declared it, so you will do it". It's a question of "You broke the rules once; you can stay in timeout for a week or we can ban you entirely". Would you be bothered if they'd skipped the first part and just banned them from their gruop for making trouble?

I know, but you didn't actually say you think React is awesome when not using JS. Given how JS specific React is, that's not a very intuitive outcome.

The comment was in response to "that's bonkers". And that has been my reaction on learning stuff like React and derived frameworks. A lot of it looks like functions for the sake of it, when objects already solve those problems but became unfashionable.

Your comment makes me think of this guy: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Rescorla#Corporate_securi...

TL;DR: he got hired as a security officer for Morgan Stanley's WTC offices, and he made the employees regularly practice evacuations.

> Rescorla wanted the company out of the building because he continued to feel, as did Hill, that the World Trade Center was still a target for terrorists and that the next attack could involve a plane crashing into one of the towers.[17] He recommended to his superiors at Morgan Stanley that the company leave Manhattan office space, mentioning that labor costs were lower in New Jersey and that the firm's employees and equipment would be safer in a proposed four-story building. However, this recommendation was not followed because the company's lease at the World Trade Center would not terminate until 2006. At Rescorla's insistence, all employees (including senior executives) then practiced emergency evacuations every three months.[18]

> After Dean Witter merged with Morgan Stanley in 1997, the company eventually occupied 22 floors in the South Tower and several floors in a building nearby. Rescorla's office was on the South Tower’s 44th floor.[4] Feeling that the authorities lost legitimacy after they failed to respond to his 1990 warnings, he concluded that employees of Morgan Stanley, which was the largest tenant in the World Trade Center, could not rely on first responders in an emergency and needed to empower themselves through surprise fire drills, in which he trained employees to meet in the hallway between stairwells and go down the stairs two by two to the 44th floor.[15] Rescorla's strict approach to these drills put him into conflict with some high-powered executives, who resented the interruption to their daily activities, but he nonetheless insisted that these rehearsals were necessary to train the employees in the event of an emergency. He timed employees with a stopwatch when they moved too slowly and lectured them on fire emergency basics.[15][18]
Interesting site. But the "Sign up for FREE" button is very sus to the point where it stops me from even trying it.

Either it's really free so it should just say "Sign up" or it's not free so there should be a "Pricing" section that I can see before I sign up.

Is it not fair enough to use ubiquitous libraries in the code for this test? E.g. look at the n bodies code.. someone trying to write efficient Python code would be using NumPy at the very least (and possibly Numba).
vDSOs are essentially pre-linked C libraries though. On Linux they are normal shared objects with the C ABI. They can even be found in the file system with names like linux-vdso.so.1.
You're supposed to click in video in recommendedation in the three dot menu and click either "not interested" or "do not recommend channel"... for some fucking idiotic reason.

Other fact about downvotes is that they count as engagement so downvoting a video promotes it more than not clicking anything at all, that is why many youtubers go "if you don't like it click the downvote and write about that in the comment"... because both of those actions drive "engagement" so video is promoted more
Great! But don't expect much for now.
But personally, I'm happy with result, because I'm able to deploy dos machines with bigger HDDs (with help of XTIDE bios - still playing around) or just put dos images to HDDs via network without too much time spend with real hw.
Don't get me wrong. I really like real hw but prepare basic machine setup is soooo convenient in virtual environment nowadays.

Also, booting real 386 via network... My childhood dreams come true ;P.
I use to be a big fan of Spotify but they keep showing me similar songs that I just happened to listen to. My weekly lists contain synth, down tempo, and if I’m very lucky a pop song.

I don’t mind these genres but looking at my personal collection I have 400 gigs of rock, 500 gigs of rap, and 800 gigs of jazz. None of these three genres ever appear for me on Spotify. Spotify is by far the worse way for me to discover music because it’ll never show me something new or different; just the same song several dozen times.

The best way to find music is talking to people. Before what.cd shut down they had collages that I’d make heavy use of, basically lists of songs and artists for a variety of genres or feelings. One I’d heavy contribute to was jazzy hip hop. This one genre would encapsulate 30-60 artists which I’m sure that Spotify would put in separate worlds.

There has never been a “recommendation” service that I have found more useful than talking to someone.

I would assume so. Probably not with a nuclear answer, but some restricted air strikes against Russian troops inside Ukrainian territory.
I am fine with any judgment Mozilla make on infrastructure that they run and that belongs directly to the project, such as mailing lists, official chatrooms, etc. It's the addition of "unofficial" social platforms that irks me; it seems totalitarizing. Interaction of contributors outside the project ecosystem is none of their business.

I prefer for society to be sliced "horizontally", rather than "vertically". I am not aware of good terms for that. I want the arrangement to be that people can spend some of their time contributing to some group effort, with no impact on other efforts; rather than that people belong to groups, totally: "I contribute to Thunderbird" vs. "I am a Thunderbird developer."

The resigning of Brendan Eich violated that same rule as well. You work for Mozilla, then you go home and Mozilla drops out of your life. You are not a Mozilla employee unless you're on the clock. Only, what happened was that it turns out you can't be a Mozilla employee and a certain kind of Republican in the same person; the vertical isolation was violated. I think this is because people saw Brendan as "he is a Mozilla employee" rather than "he works at Mozilla." I am against that way of looking at people. I think it is important for the functioning of society that people can horizontally intermix rather than segregate.

A core part of the horizontal arrangement of society is that when you leave the boundary of a project, you leave its mores behind you; you are allowed to codeswitch as you context switch. Any rule that penalizes you for behavior elsewhere that violates the local rules directly threatens this.
