Hogwash! It depends on far more than the field. In Computer Science, factors such as the current “heat” of the market, saturation in terms of hires at institutions in your field, procedures in a given country, “production rate” of PhD students, etc. all have a major impact on whether you will have to “run the postdoctoral gauntlet”. About half of the tenured professors that I know in my “generation” had to do several years of work before ending up on the tenure track and I am both in Computer Science and in a field that has been very hot for nearly ten years.
Most definitely. When I was doing computer science the threat of failing a class and costing myself money and sure that I was anxious pretty much the entire time I was in college. I had a lot of fun though
But home PC users / high end GPU buyers (rightly or wrongly) are fanatical about modularity. The server market will likely (has already?) shifted.
It really depends on context. There are times when it's useful, and times when it's not. It's helped me at times in improving code coverage when developing software for medical devices, so I thought I'd mention it.

The technique is can also be generalized beyond just triggering malloc() failures under specified conditions.
If someone is interested in a $15/mo plan, they are unlikely to pay a 150% premium for the "convenience" of music streaming, if they already have a phone with gigabytes of storage for high-quality lossless audio.

Those seeking non-neutral internet (e.g. zero-rating traffic from a handful of specific commercial partners, which pushes the internet towards a cable TV model, rather than an open web) have several choices.

The UW was absolutely awful (Probably Legislature's fault) with the bait and switching on the education they offered. Some other state schools have similar problems.
With mini cube PCs growing in popularity the future will probably be this, a mini PC with every part a USB type modularity for any ram or GPU or hd into that stock cube PC.
I don't see how, but perhaps I'm missing your point.

If you interpret what they said as "I want freedom but explicitly chose not to find it until 10 years later" then sure, that might be a contradiction.

If you interpret it as "I really freedom because it took me 10 years to fully realize what happened to me and want others to avoid the same thing" then it's more clear it's not a contradiction. It wasn't a choice, but rather a path they were sent down unknowingly. That's different than thinking it doesn't matter until then. This was my interpretation of it at least.
Can you honestly tell yourself that you offer the same charity to people arrested during George Floyd riots? That some of those people may very well be political prisoners? I think not.
Naive question here: I've wondered about this. Non-parent here (so far), so I'm about to arrogantly over-simplify a lot of things...

The science around teenagers needing more sleep, and doing better in life/school/everything if they start their day later, seems well-established at this point.

Additionally, there's plenty of known-better ways to learn beyond the rote-memorization-and-standardized-test system that's still de rigueur.

Are there no schools out there that put these things together and make an attempt at something better, especially for high-performing kids? What if school started at (say) 10-ish, and it gradually became more and more self-directed as kids headed towards graduation? What if it also mixed in all the latest cutting-edge research about how kids learn math/science/languages/etc? What if it also got creative with the curriculum and mixed in all the topics that people always say should be in schools, like "how to do your taxes" and whatnot?

I remember getting to college and being wildly unprepared for everything. School before then was devastatingly boring and fostered very little independence. Then college came along, and it was both brutally difficult and had almost no guardrails of any kind.

It was quite a transition, and it makes me wonder why there aren't more varieties/experiments around radically different approaches to schooling. At minimum, for high-performing kids, you'd think the modern world would have something.
It's a hard language and people like to get paid for easy work... you don't have to dig into it much deeper than that.

I've written too many LOC in C++ and I'll still gladly take a Python job as it requires 10% cognition but I'm under no illusion as to why I picked it.
All you have to do is put an aluminum I-bar on top of the card if the cooler itself doesn't provide adequate rigidity, which I doubt.

I'd guess if excessive stress on the PCIe slot was a problem, it'd be solved by combining a good 2-3 slot mount on the back side and enough aluminium+plastic to hold the rest.
> 2. Are there any GPUs that actually have performed physical damage on a motherboard slot?

Yes. I've seen both a heavy GPU and an HSM card damage a slot. One happened when a machine was shipped by a commercial shipper. The other happened when the machine was moved between residences. It doesn't occur to people that the mass of a card swinging around is a problem when the case is moved.

The HSM one was remarkable in that it was a full length card with a proper case support on both ends.

Also, this isn't just about damaging the PCI-E slot. Heavy cards bend PCBs (both the MB and the dangling card) and bending PCBs is a bad idea: surface mount devices can crack, especially MLCCs, and solder joints aren't flexible either. No telling how many unanalyzed failures happen due to this.

If you have a big GPU don't let it dangle. Support it somehow.

Another area where the conventional layout is struggling is NVME. They keep getting hotter and so the heatsinks keep getting larger. Motherboard designers are squeezing in NVME slots wherever they can, often where there is little to no airflow...
>2017

The 650 Ti is PCIe 3.0. PCIe 4.0 doubles the bandwidth. PCIe 5.0 doubles the bandwidth again. The RTX 40 series GPUs still use PCIe 4.0, which have commonly available conformant riser cables. I suspect the story for PCIe 5.0 will be different.
Webcash – High performance, minimalist e-cash
A lock-free datastructure for free blocks and a lazy zero-initializer (or pattern-based-initializer) process may address the perceived performance impacts to a large extent.
Yes, I'd be perfectly okay with that. Email is a general utility.
“Terrorists” and child pornographers are bad. A three letter agency without the 4th amendment is worse.

Racists on Twitter telling you vaccines cause autism and that you can fix your phone’s water damage by microwaving it are bad. A U.S. President without the 1st amendment is worse.

We intentionally limit what government is able to do with broad strokes - it has a high risk for abuse.

Anything you yield today is going to live through multiple regime changes. You aren’t just trusting the current government with this power - you’re trusting everyone that will inherit it. The seeds of fascism are sowed through good intentions.

Interesting response from Mr Hegarty. I wonder if they would have gotten the same treatment by a US company?

It's not clear that the non sequitur is the fault of Gonzales.

It is true that the history of elite universities is highly related to exclusion, as she said. One clear as day example: the historical exclusion of Jews. It's easy to find others.

The article says: "For instance, many institutions have a history of seizing land from Indigenous groups, or originally derived their wealth from or supported their infrastructure with the labour of enslaved Black people." But did Gonzales give those examples? Even a friend to her argument would probably agree that exclusion in the admissions context of elite schools would be more relevant.
> Do you tell everyone about your incontinence, ED or irregular menstruation, sudden fainting spells, etc?

I said "ideally". Nobody would ever talk about these things and thus doing so is faux pas. But if we lived in a world where secrets were nonexistent, it would fix the corruption and disregard of humanity present in our society through radical transparency. It would make our concept of life and what it means to be human less of a caricature. People would have less to hide and less to fear. This rule applies 100x to politicians and the rich and powerful

> And there's quite a froth on porn. So much is not related in the slightest to trafficking, minors, violence, etc but it all gets tainted by what is related.

Not just the issues associated with the production of porn, but the consumption of porn. Libido is a major driver behind society. If libido is collectively directed onto private fantasies as opposed to collective experience, there will be less collective experience because libido is finite
I've had the same experience for the last ten years when I had just turned twenty. I don't think it has to do with age, it has to do with the abundance of tiresome and exchangeable digital content mostly over the last decade or so.

Young people too are more looking for tactile media, smaller shops, smaller communities to chat with even, and so on. Handcrafted content is becoming more popular even within digital media.
I think Japan is my favourite country for road trips. So many stunning mountain and costal roads. And hotels and restaurants in rural areas often have amazing food. However, gasoline and toll roads are both quite expensive so that might be a consideration. I mostly avoid cities (if I want to go a city, I’ll go by train) so if you want to do that beware that parking can be a pain (and expensive).
Congrats Alistair and Scott! This is an amazing story that made me remember my high-school days. As the authors, I was into programming from an early age, and high school definitely took the second place :) My grades ended up REALLY suffering when I got my first full-time role at a startup while I was 17 years old (parents approved) and on my last school year. Fast-forward many years and I don't regret a thing. I attended University of Oxford (despite my bad grades!) and I'm doing very well doing what I love.

Wish you both a very, very bright future!

> when those responsible for the Summer 2020 violence were not convicted of crimes

First of all, Citation needed. Second of all, you realize that the people responsible for making prosecutorial decisions regarding Jan 6th crimes are not going to be the same people making those decisions for crimes committed during George Floyd protests and riots, right? You think they’re political prisoners because of perceived inconsistencies among decisions made by the DOJ on one hand and various people in local jurisdictions on the other? Just more of the same insanity that led to Jan 6th.

What is meant by intense exercise? For example, vigorous cardio (age dependent but about hr 150 bpm) is one familiar benchmark, but is this considered intense exercise?
Nvidia is attempting to increase sales on the high-end by positioning the 4080 and 4070 (aka 4080 12 GB) at a much higher price point than the market demands while giving good value to the 4090 (60% more performance than the 3090 Ti which launched at $2000).
> If everything had to be known to everyone, it would remove the ability to do a lot of things that nearly everyone would consider good for themselves and society.

Would it remove the ability to do these things, or would the collective change lead the prerequisites for these things to change as well? If this change were implemented, it would fundamentally alter how we see ourselves and how we see society
In my opinion Windows Phone had a lot of promise, which I think was definitely tied to solid hardware Nokia was making at the time. Microsoft pretty much made it impossible for meaningful apps to be developed by the average joe though (Read: API restrictions) and I think that really helped Windows Phone become obsolete.
How many teacher deaths are justifiable in the name of educating children? I really don't know, although as you say every death is indeed a tragedy. Obviously it is non-zero, because we accept the risk of teachers having to travel to school to teach, that teachers previously died of other communicable disease, that some died during freak workplace accidents. Many will die during their travels. 40 out of the 100,000+ teachers in Georgia is roughly 1/3 of the annual death rate of people that die logging wood -- surely our children are worth at least 1/3 as much as logs of wood (although of course we don't like anyone to die doing either). And we also have to remember we don't know the marginal contribution of the profession to which of these 40 may or may not have otherwise died -- we can't simply say they all would have lived had schools been shut down.

IMO society could tolerate an extremely high number of deaths if it means putting their children on the best foot. Hell we tolerate a pretty high death rate just to put crabs on the table for people in a seafood restaurant. Our kids are definitely worth more than crabs. But teachers need to be compensated for this risk, and fully informed of the risks ahead of time so that they won't become upset later that they're getting into something they didn't bargain for. And it needs to be fully consensual, so teachers who want to walk away from the job should not be penalized for ending their contract. Lets bring in the risk takers who are willing to be there in person with our children, and like crab fisherman lets reward them handsomely for this risk. For those not up to the task, there is no shame in walking away.
I have primarily worked on kernels written in C during my career, but I read through the official Rust book and wrote a small microkernel using Rust and my opinion is that Rust is already everything I hate about C++. It's already a huge language with a large upfront learning curve and there's no hope of mastering it as it's already grown so large that it could never fit in one person's head. Instead of focusing on solving my task I'm often thinking about how to deal with the language itself - a hallmark of large languages that promise the world if you just takes days learning about higher kinded type systems.

C has innumerable problems, but at its root it's a simple language that is easy to learn, and it's been fabulously successful because it's small and *doesn't* try to abstract too much over the architecture you're working on. My feeling is that Rust is being pushed by people who write application level code because they heard that C was bad and programmers are simply enthralled by overcomplicated programming languages because it gives them something to read about.
What I mean is Fairphone isn’t really comparable to an iPhone 14 pro. Not yet anyway. I’m all for more sustainable smartphones and even laws backing this up, so I don’t know if I’m disagreeing with you. Apple is making enough margin to focus more on sustainability at this point without sacrificing anything else.
I guess it's like any product review, those with poor experiences are more likely to voice their opinion.

Our org uses Teams and sure, there are some negatives (search, I'm looking at you) I've never had any of the issues the parent has and I've been using it daily since it first came out. I also use Slack (less frequently) and prefer Teams, but Slack's search is much better.

I haven't had it long enough to tell, but I'm hoping that it's like eroding a mountain, it takes repetition. Several times a day while working from home should be easy enough.
If you don't need to care about vm, you probably should be using a GC language. If you do, you certainly need to understand vm.
Academically more intensive, but that's not really what upsets people in USA about school.
The main reason is that CPUs get old much slower than GPUs, but “current” socket generations change quickly. Another reason is a combinatorial explosion of mobo x graphics card features, which is already hard.

I mean, petrol is almost all carbon (an element), but you don't get to capture it from the exhaust and reuse the damned thing.

Let me reword that for you... how practical/sustainable is it to recycle lithium car batteries? Will there be a point where we can stop all lithium mining because there will be enough in in use and available for recycling?
> EDIT: It seems Stripe and Crypto apologists have downvoted & flagged my comment since Stripe is somehow a HN / YC darling that is immune from valid criticism even if they venture into crypto scamming, with no usecase that is better than the current financial system.

> It is a massive mistake that Stripe is offering anything in the crypto space as everyone and Stripe knows it is full of fraud, money laundering, scams and it is completely unregulated.

The argument is engaging in "everything is X" talk by blanketing an entire space as only engaging in negative impacts.

It should be noted that the percentage of crypto used in illicit activity is significantly less than 1%, compared to the estimated 2-5% of global GDP that is involved in money laundering alone within traditional financial ecosystems.

Using the same argument, it could be said that cash should be banned because its private & semi-anonymous nature allows for its use in transactions for gambling, drug use, child porngraphy, assasinations, & slave trafficking.
I don't know. There are lots of other places where you can get tin and zinc and so on, but that hasn't stopped people from wrecking lots of Bolivia in order to mine them. If the demand is there some poor and/or corrupt countries are probably going to supply the metals regardless of the risks to the environment.

Why doesn't the "video card" just come with a processor socket?
My theory is that every technology that is too complex gets replaced with something that does the same thing more simply. You see this relentlessly in the JavaScript ecosystem where waves of too-complex tools get rapidly replaced with something else, only to be swept away again when someone finds an even more simple way to do the same thing.

This must be the fate of Rust - eventually it will be replaced with a language that gives the memory and thread safety without the melt-your-brain complexity.

I want a simpler version of Rust.

It's too hard.

Is it possible to create a truly safe language without the dizzying complexity? Or is it the complexity a baseline requirement?

I wonder if there is a subset of Rust that can be extracted someone into a new, minimal language with the core benefits.
The downside is time spent without any memories.

Having used many different providers (though not all of the ones on your list), be very careful with suspiciously generous or unmetered anything. More often than not, you'll hit a soft limit where your performance will degrade and/or you'll get kicked for ToS violations.

Most apps never hit those limits, but once you get to multi-thousands/mo in cloud bills, there's benefits in pay-as-you-go billing where the provider is incentivized to let you use as much as you want to pay for.

Amsterdam never looked like American cities, central Amsterdam doesn't even have roads where cars would fit.

Since 150 years an extensive tram network existed, with horse carriages like in many other European cities before it was electrified.

Every part of the city is walkable and always has been.

Few cities in the US are comparable, maybe New York but it's not really desirable to live there for a lot of reasons - being full of cars in a place where none should be being one of them.
It's the IBM PC legacy. The won and we've lived with that form-factor now for 40 years. A new PC looks very much like that of 1982. Back in '82 when I started in robotics tech, we mostly used VME. A super-robust interconnect platform. There is no "motherboard" with VME and similar bus architectures. There is a backplane. Why can't we have the benefits of a physical platform like VME but with the electrical form-factor of PCIe?
Are you not just acting as a middleman? so encrypted data goes to you and forwarded to signal servers and all you have going through your network is encrypted?
I'm a complete amateur but I thought everything sent from signal was encrypted right from the get go and "not possible" to decrypt mid-transit?
There are lots of ways your life hasn't been ruined, but you don't dream about them.
The individual has been "vetted" in a more rigorous setting. For example, is someone who graduates with a 3.5GPA Math BA from the University of Central Florida trained as well as someone who graduates with 3.5 from the University of Maryland? What about UNC? What about MIT?

If pedigree was a useless signal, it wouldn't be used. Mind you, I've seen this used against people as well. For example...

"The last few MIT grads we hired were full of themselves and way too combative." These are real words from a hiring manager.
At least codes are starting to get better - requiring results rather than methods.

I'll speak about Toronto, since it's the city I know the best. You could easily resolve the housing scarcity by densifying the suburbs, but it's artifically constrained because:

(a) It's legitimately hard to retroactively densify suburban areas, especially the newer suburbs like Markham, where the inefficient use of space combines with the restricted mixed-use zoning, would make re-densified residential areas difficult to support with the sparse commercial/public/transportation resources. I think it's possible, but requires some aggressive changes.

(b) Politicians don't want to risk angering the elderly, NIMBY, home-owning middle-class that compose the voting base.

I think it can be done, but the political incentives are not appealing. Still, we are seeing some hopeful signs from increasingly radicalized youth, cut off from the housing market, being converted into potential political capital by the NDP.
Writing Rust/Actix for server code is a breeze. There's zero complexity. It's practically Java, just with a more Ruby-like syntax.

Entirely depends on what you're building.

In the uk we tend to just put up a sign. If you ignore the sign, that shit’s on you.

Of course, there also might not be a sign, sometimes it comes down to “don’t do stupid crap”. Again, on you.
