Aluminum wiring is still useless, because slightest defect will cause it to oxide and fall apart, especially when you have smaller diameter, and that's the reason why it is not used and won't be used.

You can continue to live in your fantasy world, where aluminum is used widely, I am coming from there, we are ripping it from walls and replacing it with copper.

I had similar on a VAX 11/750. The LA120 DECwriter was connected to the system via a serial port mux adapter.

One night the mux adapter glitched and reset itself back to defaults, which turned on local echo, so it reflected 'login:' back to the VAX, which responded with the password prompt.

This prompt was reflected too, giving an incorrect password response...which was reflected back to a new login prompt...etc..rinse, repeat all night.

Everything was printed on the LA120 until the fanfold paper ran out.

I came in the next day and could not see the LA120 due to the amount of paper on top of it.
This is why I use many different usernames, I must have used maybe three dozen different ones by now. The only time I use the same username is for games because I want people to know what other games I play.

My opsec is pretty awful but I at least try to not be "simply type in the username I always use into google or some tool on GitHub" bad. I at least want somebody to have to use a few hours or pay a data broker to reveal all my secrets because my bet is that nobody cares about me enough to do that.
And people's plans are already made for whatever days they get, so unless there's a sudden influx of vacations, more trips just won't happen. That is of course expecting people can also afford extra trips, the locations themselves often being quite expensive.

> No different than when a child enters high school

The problem is that when you compete against the high school, you're competing against maybe ~100? people. With internet you're "competing" against thousands and sometimes millions of people, not just the best of your neighborhood but the whole world, with all the existing inequalities.

Therefore, competition is superfluous, there is little chance for "you" to win.
That probably correlates/causates to class much more than skin colour, and so minorities complaining that middle-class people are ahead of them wouldn’t be anything new.

We used to use aluminum wirings for apartments/houses in Eastern Europe during communism because it was cheaper. It turned out that it does not work, it oxides, it will cause fires in buildings. Now it is outlawed.

Usage of aluminum in any small and high power electronics will cause exactly same issues for exactly same reasons
I worked at Radio Shack in the early 1990s. I was shocked to see that Radio Shack was still selling the Model 100s (acutually, model 102 by that time) as it was at least a 10 year old design by then. The manager told me that journalists still liked to buy them, because it was rugged, super portable, ran on batteries, had a great keyboard, and they could upload their text over a phone line. All I can say is their articles must have been very short as the memory limitations of the device were severe.

My first job out of highschool: overnight loader/stocker at a hardware store.

The guy who ran the big forklift in the lumber section was a bit of a cowboy. At the start of the night there would be a big pile of lumber, and he had to sort it and get it on the shelves. We couldn’t really run two lifts at the same time due to aisle width, so he did the job solo, and ran the equipment fast to get it done in time.

Start of shift one evening an upper manager came down and said they reviewed security camera footage, that he was driving too fast, and needed to be more careful. But how do I get it done in time, he said? She emitted the verbal equivalent of a shrug, and left.

Because, of course, she doesn’t want him to be slower, she wanted him to be more careful. To be on record as having issued a warning, so that if something happened, her ass would be covered. She couldn’t solve the problem but she could certainly apportion blame beforehand.

A formative experience for 19 year old me.

>a lot of times i feel my mind blank like i have nothing to say (in serious and non-serious conversations)

I know this feeling. I manage to overcome it by practicing small talk and being less afraid of voicing my real thoughts. For small talk any topic is fine, no matter how short and mundane. If you get into a habit of practicing small talk at every occasion it should help you talk about the things you actually care about. For expressing my real thoughts I've stopped giving "calculated" replies (like changing the wording in order to not upset / offend anyone) and started caring less about what other people think of me.

>having difficulty forming opinions besides on basic black and white topics

Go to any discussion board, pick any topic and play devil's advocate. It will help you interact with opinions that you disagree with and make you evaluate takes you wouldn't evaluate otherwise. This is especially effective if you pick a stance you personally disagree with.
Mainly corporate vehicles, because in the end they were cheaper as you stated. Lobbyists at work, they are genuises. If you see a Mercedes E 300e, you can be certain it‘s a corporate car :). Or when in private hand, it‘s definitely the 2nd owner :).

About not using the plug: when you are driving a corporate car, it‘s often because part of your job is driving around a lot. Driving to customers e.g. In these cases it‘s common in Germany that your employer pays for fuel (you get a specific card for the gas station). They allow you to use the car for anything else as well.

So there is no incentive to use the plug :).

1200 bps modems were available for the IBM PC much earlier than that. I think by 1982 your could get a 1200 or even 2400 bps modem for the PC. The AT models in 1984 standardized the faster speeds.

300 baud modems were still popular in the 1980s, because most people still used home microcomputers, and that's what was available for those low end machines. Atari even sold an acoustic coupler modem for their 8-bit computers that was very popular as it was quite inexpensive.

Another post written by an American who thinks Twitter is the arbiter of what's popular and the centre of the internet.

Newsflash: Twitter peaked in 2018 with 336m users, significantly less then other social networks.

Either the developers aren't as good as the other poster is saying or they're not being let off the leash.

What I've seen happen is well-meaning people who don't understand software try to do the right thing as they've been taught, but that often means scrum. But then it turns into a very top-down approach and developers start getting treated like line-workers.

At the company I'm at now, "product" has wedged themselves between the scrum teams and the business side and they basically won't allow the two to meet. They wield power over the technical side as a result. I actually was in a meeting with business once and they asked the question "who should be involved". I responded product and technical so we can advise. The product immediately responded "product" and the lack of technical in that response was deafening.

So long story short is power politics or the developers aren't as good as being claimed (or a healthy mix of both). At the end of the day, these companies just have to not get it so wrong they go out of business. When the bar for that gets to a certain point, power politics takes over, and the ones who have business' ear are the ones who wield power.
I initially switched years ago because it made more financial sense, but nowadays I just enjoy safety blades more. I don't spend much on blades (10€ for a hundred Voskhod blades lasts me ages), but I do spend a bit on the shaving cream (nothing beats L'Occitane's shaving cream, and it's a local company).
Many of the people selling linocuts (or whatever) will have been to art school or at least had some significant training. And they will have spent years doing nothing but art.

A hobbyist, especially one who isn't trying to make a career out of it, isn't going to be able to compete with that.

Which is fair enough. Why would you, as a hobbyist, expect to compete with full-time professionals?

But it's also true creative markets are a bell curve. The big money is in the mediocre middle. It's why a novel series like Twilight or Fifty Shades of Grey sells in dumper truck quantities, while something more adventurous and original probably won't even be picked up.

Most people are mediocre at what they do (by definition) but it's still possible to be financially successful, especially in a middle class career.

If you want mass praise and attention, that's a different problem.

Read Starting Strength. It is important to read it in order to understand what makes a squat, bench or deadlift form safe, and to understand that safe and efficient lift will look different depending of your proportions (ie. it is not necessarily a form error or safety issue if you don't look like platonic idea of a squat form when squatting).

As for video material, in YouTube: "Calgary Barbell", "Juggernaut Training Systems", "Starting Strength".

The transcriptional regulator CtrA controls gene expression in phages
SICP was largely written before Scheme was standardized and before SRFI existed.

For example SICP uses a so-called special form called cons-stream, which is in no Scheme definition (it was in no Scheme reports) and for which no implementation is given in the book, since it can't be implemented by the Scheme subset used for the book. It assumes that it is somehow provided without giving any details.

Cars don't actually use that much power relative to the amount that households already use if they're not fast-charging (using power here in the technical sense (amps) not as a synonym for energy (watts)). Smart charging meters that default to a cheap off-peak slow-charge (i.e. an overnight charge) with the option to override with a fast charge for a premium will probably solve 90% of our problems here.
it's not easy keeping a wormhole open, while they are correct solutions to the General Relativity equation, they are widely unstable, if memory serves.

also gravity is very weak and need a significant amount of mass/energy to source it, a black hole of the mass of the earth is a centimeter in diameter.

and yes smaller black holes are in theory possible to make (in some theories at least) but they tend to evaporate very very quickly by hawking radiation (and none was observed at cern).

then there's the ER=EPR conjecture that quantum entanglement is due to microscopic wormholes connecting the states but again doesn't seem you can shove a photon in there and get super luminal communication as quantum entanglement cannot transfer information faster than light.

in the end Lorentz invariance and thus the speed of light is deeply embedded in the fabric of spacetime (we never seen any violations, and i saw the super luminal neutrino drama first hand as i was doing my phd in Bern)

they are a bit like warp drives, possible in some theory, wildly impractical, certainly lethal and requires infinite energy and/or destroys the arrival galaxy.

more realistically speaking, and i know ppl will hate me for this: we have a decline in biodiversity probably unprecedented since the dinosaurs went exciting, a near vertical climate trip to tackle (not making the first even worst), limited ressources to that mitigate it but more importantly: very few people paying attention.

at this rate(s) i doubt the successor to the Large Hadron Collider will be ready before collapse of our civilization.

i get it's nice to dream but we are tripping all regulation mechanisms on this planet and that's not something that's good for survival, fossil records show.

maybe im wrong, im a physicist after all, and SuperElon FromTheFuture will ride a closed timelike curve and come Save Us All (TM) with electric rockets and SmartTechnology (C).

There was a great article once upon a time, about picking the arena you fight in essentially. You have to recognize which arena you're participating in both literally and mentally, and decide whether or not that's where you want to be.

If your arena is the internet, then it's essentially the whole world. But if you focus more on smaller scale communities and the people around you, it's much easier to find a way to contribute that makes you proud and accomplished. The fact that the best guitar player in the world is accessible on the internet is neat, but they are probably not available to play a gig in your town. It's great that there are better software developers out there, but only a few of them are working on a project you're part of, etc.
Firefox on Android has terrible scrolling latency/stutter for me and seemingly for a lot of people. On a 120hz screen, which chrome-based browsers can pull off fine, it's a real dealbreaker.
Tensorboard doesn't do that, I was referring to things a dataset/model management tool should do. For us, Tensorboard tracks the datasets as hyperparams. The actual multiple versions of data end up being handled on the warehouse side. Prefect is what we use for running those DAGs to make the different versions.

Handling code and data separately is important, to allow easy updates to one or the other. They are loosely coupled to allow quicker updates, rather than having to increment versions on both as per DVC, and DVC is far heavier weight as it pulls the data referenced in the dvc files, and you have to pick out on the CLI which ones you want.

Downloading as required to a local cache when needed from your actual scripts works much better. It's just like what transformers does for pre-trained models.

Human thinking naturally aligns towards authoritarianism, winner-takes-all, strict unbreakable hierarchies. The only reason democracies are so common in the world nowadays is that they end up being so successful, even the minority accidental democracies end up having a disproportionate influence and growth over the span of history.
> Democracy is just better at resource allocation.

Only in certain ways.

Counter-examples: Americans waste almost 40% of all the food that is produced in America, and for all sorts of reasons. 108 billion pounds of food is wasted, which equates to 130 billion meals. $218B per year. 19% of all crop lands, and more water than Texas, California and Ohio combined. [1] Grown, then thrown out. Enough to feed all the world's hungry.

Free markets fail to price externalities all the time. Coal kills 25 people per TWh generated, and costs about $0.10/kWh. A human life is generally costed at $10M by actuaries for these purposes [2] so at 25 deaths per TWh, the human cost alone is $0.25/kWh. Coal power should cost $0.35/kWh, and yet, it's nowhere close. This leads to terrible resource allocation.

On the other hand, authoritarianism built China 24,000 miles of high-speed rail since the mid-2000s. That's good resource allocation. The US has 49.9mi total. Without the need to plan for a 2-4 year election cycle, the government can execute multi-decade initiatives effectively. Like HSR, and like OBOR. [3]

I'm of course not advocating for authoritarianism, however some introspection here is warranted, and the current situation isn't a 'pat ourselves on the back' moment. What we need isn't more freedom but just a little bit less, an approach where we staple the actual cost of the things we do onto them so that the market can then take over and do what it's good at.

A little respect for our rivals would go a long way IMO.

Why do they need a legal justification, practically?

They take the money, and there is nothing you can do. If you spend enough money on lawyers, eventually they would give you the money back, but you'd lose on that deal too.

Ethically and morally it's abhorrent, it degrades the power of the law, but they can get away with it. Fuckers.
Very interesting and progressive move by this company. I'm interested to hear about the actual application, because the article seems to imply that women need extra time of and extra work flexibility, but they want to keep all this gender neutral. So, even without buckets will managers ask for reasons or is the leave just granted. If a man takes as much time as the woman will this be ok too?

Bold progressive polices like this are great to see in a workplace, especially in India. Will polices like this fix the underlying human/cultural issues? With humans implementing the policies that's an important consideration. Still a good move forward.
