I use HDD's on purpose. If Windows cannot use HDD's, that is bad programming. That's just how it is. Microsoft should not assume that HDD's don't exist.

I use an HDD on Windows for two reasons: one, I am cheap, and two, I am writing a VCS. The Git experience on Windows is already terrible, so I'm setting myself up to have a worse experience on Windows than any of my users. Why? Because if it's painful enough, I'll fix it. This is the same reason I use HDD on Linux: to ensure that my code is as fast as possible for users.

I have disabled Windows Update and other background maintenance tasks. Don't assume I haven't.

If you really purport yourself as good enough to give advice to a programmer, please at least don't assume stuff about that programmer and his environment before going on a pointless tirade that did make you seem like a jerk.

By the way, I scanned my Windows drive with various tools. No errors, and the lifetime number of hours, which I was hinting at with my glib reference to its age and how much space is taken, is only a fraction (1/5) of the average lifetime of drives like this.
Even in your argument against the FBI you give a reason for having them. Yes, they missed 9/11, but they have also prevented unknown numbers of terrorist attacks.

They are also largely the ones called in to investigate serial murderers, child sex rings, drug trafficking, organized crime, etc. I think deferring to state level agencies to handle these crimes would produce worse outcomes.

I’m not saying the FBI is great. They’ve done a lot of awful things and had a lot of failures. But the current bad system isn’t automatically improved by getting rid of it if the alternative is worse.

[edit] it’s a bit like hitting a local maxima. Is there a better system out there for catching interstate and large scale crime? Most definitely. But it seems foolhardy to not have that plan in place when deciding to “dismantle” the FBI when doing so means more terror attacks happen, more children get trafficked, serial murderers kill more victims, drug lords grow bigger operations, etc.
"does that mean double entry is no longer as important as it once was?"

What are the alternatives? Sure, you could do single entry accounting (making an entry corresponding to each cash movement, but then you'd need a separate system to keep track of

- money the business owes

- money the business is owed

- inventory

- other assets

I don't know much of the history, but I can say:

- I've found it helpful to compare to look at the income statement alongside the opening and closing balance sheets. I've even found errors this way.

- AFAIK all business accounting systems are based on double-entry accounting, so the existence of these systems can't obviate the need for double-entry accounting.

If you have a cash business where you hold almost no inventory, e.g. if you're a baker who buys flour at the beginning of each day, and close your shop when you've sold out of bread, you might not care about tracking assets, accounts payable etc.

Lenovo watch X. Use gadgetbridge and love it.

Gadgetbridge vastly better than anything cloud based. Support for watch X is a bit mixed and unreliable - about which I am not complaining as I'm not helping the effort either.
What is unhealthily about eating plants you ask? :) Well plants make their own herbicides, pesticides, fungicides and other poisons to stop insects (and us humans) from just going around and eating them. We bathe these plants in our own poisons too like the herbicide glyphosate (known as "Roundup") to keep the wheels on the road. There is a massive subreddit named carnivore centered on resolving auto immune issues caused by plant toxins leaking from leaky guts of their members. Plants may well be causing the majority of auto immune issues in society and the science is slowly catching on.

Then there is the problem of stopping plants from rotting before they reach our plates and how to sanitize them. Radiation processes are used here on many plants. Some plants are man made. Lemons for example. Others have been bred and developed to become supersized and full of sugar.

While meat is extremely nutrient dense compared to plants. It has not changed in tens of thousands of years. Our bodies are built to eat it. Cows take 1/10th of the water per calorie to farm compared to plants. Cows who have seaweed added to their feed have reduced greenhouse emissions of 80%. Mega corps are going to have a hard time weaponizing meat against us, compared to genetically modifiying plants and messing around with our food.

Tbh I think this is just the classic situation of “elite” humanities people dunking on “elite” nerds. I’ve had the same experience of having no idea what the actual definition of “bro” is, and I’ve decided that it sounds made up simply because it is. “Those people who think differently than I do and also make a lot of money in their jobs? Must be something bad about them. Bros.”
Gotcha. Thanks for clearing that up. And yes, the indentation of tabs is actually a good idea.

Although, iOS has tab groups now. I rarely use them because the menu is out of sight so I forget. But on macOS they’re convenient for when I’m researching a topic.

The brain undergoes a great “rewiring” after age 40
Yeah but only the riches will be able to get their hands on a genuine, working Famicom, a fabulous machine made by the legendary Japanese company Nintendo, which was wholly destroyed during the third world war. And only few have the privilege to locate and actually PLAY a Super Mario game on a genuine Famicom with genuine original controllers.

It's always a gamble with new laptops.

I've had multiple Thinkpad T-generations from T410 to the latest. Sometimes it does works flawlessly out of the factory at purchase.

This time, it did not. The 12th gen Intel CPUs have a heterogeneous design with traditional "P-cores" and low-power "E-cores". I'm suspecting the reason I see terrible performance is that the CPU scheduler does not handle this efficiently and assigns the wrong task to the E-cores.

Also the Intel WiFi does not even get detected. Have not dug deeper into that yet.

Anything > ~6(Intel) ~12(AMD/Realtek) months old tend to work smoothly out of the box, IME.
Ditto on the Time Steel. If they had told the V2 backers that they had to 2x the price to stay afloat, I would have paid it. My battery is around 4 days (assuming I remember to put it in airplane mode when I sleep), and I'm considering trying the ifixit battery replacement.

I'm also hoping that the Apple Watch Ultra will turn out to have 5-ish days of battery life in low power mode after this fall's software update. I could consider an Apple Watch at that point, though I don't love the stylings of the AWU itself. Mostly I like the battery and the fact that the screen is flat and protected by a lip. Hopefully they can produce another variant that isn't quite so extreme sports-focused.
> I suppose they have the “Toys R Us” kind of thing in mind with it.

The German Wikipedia page explicitly mentions that the Я in Toys R Us is not supposed to be a cyrillic letter:

> https://de.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Toys_%E2%80%9CR%E...

It is highly likely that quite some people in particular in East Germany considered the Я to be the Ya letter since they learned Russian in school.

But this is not the only confusion: As a child when I was learning English in school, the first association that the "Toys [a]R[e] Us" brand awaked was "wrong grammar". Don't the native speakers of English who came up with this brand name know the grammar of their mother tongue?! No wonder that the German Wikipedia article about Toys R Us also explains this point.
We got stuck on the Nvidia opencl drivers before we went deep into k8s networking

Our experience with local k8s dev is the issues are more on the k8s distro side. So at least for local dev, I'm guessing the happier path is sticking with KinD approaches wrt WSL2. Our wsl2 docker testing was successful, even w GPUs, and bc of the file system seperation, felt more like native Ubuntu docker's imperceptible overheads vs the painfully slow OS X docker overheads (ex: npm run watch taking minutes vs seconds)

How so?

Offline support? Collaborative tools don't really have a good offline story by nature.

Ping times? If you use fly.io you're going to have great availability and low latency. It's like a CDN for live apps.

I'm not biased against a 'client-side front end', it's just that a collaborative tool that is 'always online' might as well use a 'live app' style where the server drives the DOM. It solves all the problems that the OP raised in the quote, and it's less about where React should go next, because client-side front end literally can't solve those problems due to their nature.
Please read my original comment. That's exactly what I said:

Funny how you assume that my Windows system is not configured to my usage.

I've turned off Windows Defender. I've turned off background tasks that I don't want. I've uninstalled every piece of software I don't want. I've turned privacy up as high as I can.

And it's still a slog.
On the other hand, 95% of Americans don’t eat enough fiber, which means they aren’t getting any of the other benefits of plants like vitamins and antioxidants.

Thank you for correcting me. I misspoke and said ethernet when I was thinking modem. Many are rated from ~300Hz. And I did assume low signal levels in a similar gain setup from the article.

Yeah, that brings back memories. My college ended up getting a MicroVax while I was there... to replace the PDP-11/70. The 11 is one of my favorite machines due to the ISA. The MicroVax was just not the same. I'll grant that this is mostly due to nostalgia than technical merit, but, still... not the same.

Ah, memories! ;-)

When AIX went multiprocessor around v.3.[45], they used a single kernel lock. Version 4 was a near complete rewrite to get rid of the single lock. I missed that fun, as I was no longer working for IBM, but I was sysadmining some AIX boxen during the 3.5-4 era.

Version 3.5 had a bug. mmap()-ing a file plus some extra space and then writing to the unbacked space would extend the file on JFS (in fact, that was how write() worked in the FS), but on NFS it would corrupt a FS-level lock so that any process that touched that FS would deadlock. Including the automounter. Which was itself single-threaded. UTCS's system programming class meant daily reboots for a while. 8-) AIX v4 fixed the problem.

AIX, like most Unixes, would happily allocate memory until you ran out of address space, completely unrelated to how much memory you had, because sparse matrices. The X server used this facility, for one thing. A process could tell the system not to kill it by handling a particular signal, but most of the system software didn't handle the signal. Including inetd. Which was usually the first thing killed when you ran out of memory, so you couldn't log into the system remotely.
I was surprised when I needed to use my partner's iPhone I had no idea how to complete certain basic actions, despite using a similar Android smartphone every day. Maybe I had gotten used to the undiscoverable features on my phone, but I felt that a modern iPhone was borderline unusable for me without learning about certain hidden actions like swiping from different edges of the screen and knowing where certain settings are.
Imagine this scenario: I report my car as stolen. The police find someone driving a car matching my report, but upon pulling them over, they claim it's not stolen and have all the appropriate paperwork, license and insurance. I expect the police would use some judgement and figure out maybe there's been an error or misunderstanding. Provided the driver identifies themselves, provides contact details and everything matches up, the police would almost certainly let them go and follow it up later.

Similarly in these cases, I assume the drivers of the "stolen" cars have the keys, some paperwork, email or other confirmation that they hired a car from Hertz and aren't driving or acting suspiciously. The cars won't have been hotwired, the police haven't been provided with any evidence of it being stolen. Provided the driver is compliant with the police investigation and there is no other cause for suspicion, there is no reason to arrest them at that point.

Why would a report by a company be treated as different to a report by Joe Bloggs? We had a similar scenario in the UK with the Post Office Scandal. The authorities seem to believe companies without question and give them the benefit of the doubt that they wouldn't to a private individual.

We do not however teach general relativity linearization-first and only then the full equations.

My point is that for the purposes of the book the equation does "exist", it's just introduced in an extremely meandering-y way. Giving different approximate circuits is fine afterwards but I've spent years and years honing my skills in other quantitative disciplines so I'd prefer to just be given detail in a practical way rather than have detail broken down into practical chunks that loses the essence of the model.

More subtly the idea of a limiting case doesn't always make any obvious sense in electronics unless you speak in unbelievably broad terms that only a physicist would care about (i.e. intuitively you can handwave about some quantity in a circuit relative to the speed of light but you ain't gonna be able to write down an equation and literally take a limit), abstractions/rules-of-thumbs in electronics are often very clever because of that.

I had a lot of fun playing around with RF going through metallic clothes (fencing lames) since basically no amount of theory would really help you so you just have to really stare at the VNA output.

I agree in principle, but feel it would almost exclusively be used to prosecute people who are more or less innocent. People like those manipulated into giving false confessions/testimony, or eyewitness accounts where the person genuinely believes a falsehood.
Ah I'm not using the weather notification app though, I use the German weather app. The other one failed to work at all (though it is probably because I hid the notification, indeed). I hate a phone full of notifications.

But it shouldn't be necessary, even Gadgetbridge itself works fine in the background while hiding the running notification :)

I really wish it had weather retrieval simply built-in to be honest. I know it's slightly more trustworthy with no internet access in its manifest, but really it's open source, we can check exactly what it's doing.
How do I jump to this timeline?
286 and for that matter even 386 has the segment-based memory protection mechanism that is somewhat reminiscent of Burroughs mainframes, GECOS and maybe AS/400. There are two giant issues with the idea: it does not work that well on 16b word system and it is totally incompatible with what most of existing code written in C expects. So with 386 Intel had combined that mechanism with traditional MMU and somewhat hack-ish method to turn all that of (reportedly because Microsoft wanted that for Windows/386)
Yeah, but JJ Abrams had no idea what he was doing so he was being ironical.
Agree completely. Reach out to prior managers that you respected and would want to work with again. In the past decade, I’ve worked with the same manager across 3 different companies. All without a loop.

Recreation is an attempt to reshape the history.

History is the information residual form the past events onto various forms of recording, and projected into human brains, forming a collective residual image of the past that causes the nowadays events.

When history can be reshaped, the human collectives would lost its directional momentum because the causes are no longer entirely intact.

I love articles like this because they make me feel like a super-genius even though I am completely average.

Every single one of those esoteric morsels of forbidden knowledge is in the Tips app, which I read from top to bottom when it was first released.

Here are the instructions on how to delete a number in the calculator, the first arcane incantation the author discovered through his or her intense study of the dark arts: https://imgur.com/a/3BgTg1K

Something which I've known for years, because I RTFM.

I'm willing to bet, but not bothered enough to check, that every single "TOP TEN FEATURES APPLE IS HIDING FROM YOU" is thoroughly documented, with full-color illustrations where warranted, in Tips.app.

It has been a long time but I believe that Tips.app comes preinstalled and there are some nag-notifications for you to read it.

I am sure many people smarter than I instantly deleted Tips.app the second they set up their phone to which I can only say "Careful, Icarus".

And yeah, I read the manuals that come with my all of my products, usually while on the toilet. Who doesn't want to know the amperage a NES Mini draws from its AC adapter?

I grew up in the technology era where if you didn't read the manual you were screwed, and my Apple IIgs Toolbox book, which I read from cover to cover to learn how to program my IIgs is still on my shelf surrounded by hundreds of other reference books.

Tips.app is just the 2022 Apple IIgs Toolbox and I'm not haughty enough to look down on it.

One important quote from the article:

“All of the major national banks would prefer to be out of the safe-deposit-box business,” said Jerry Pluard, the president of Safe Deposit Box Insurance Coverage, a small Chicago firm that insures boxes. “They view it as a legacy service that’s not strategic to anything they do, and they’ve stopped putting any real focus or resources into it.”

I’m going to need to see a citation for that. Last I checked, it was being beaten by Apache Spark in non-memory constrained scenarios [0]. This may be “blazingly fast” compared to Pandas or something, but it’s still leaving a TON of room on the table performance-wise. There’s a reason why Databricks found it necessary to redirect their Spark backend to a custom native query engine [1].

> Firstly, if an employee of a company fucks up at work, the company is responsible, not the employee.

That’s utterly wrong.

The employee is always a potential defendant.
Legal doctrines such as respondeat superior and principal/agent and the like extend the liability to the employer.

Nobody bothers to sue the employee as they’re generally broke. The goal is to sue the employer.

But, there is no ‘immunity’ that arises from being an employee.
