> I get the point but that's also a little like saying Windows is quite simple software because it is simply full of 'if' and 'for' and 'while'.

Not really, the cores are really similar units.

> A modern great CPU or GPU chip is not that simple to design.

Of course not, for starters there's not just the shader cores (a 4090 also has 512 TMUs, 176 ROPs, 128 RTX, and 512 tensor cores), you need to design all of these before you can replicate them, then you need to design the common components.

But the point was that the 50 billion transistors were not designed for individually, there is a large amount of block reuse. Your analogy would hold if windows inlined everything.
So he's trying to weasel out of a contract with (essentially) some of the same people who just thoroughly owned him for trying to weasel out of a contract with the company they ran.

This is bound to end well for him.
"essentially unfixable" or "essentially unpatchable" feel right in the sense that you can't block it for good without removing the PS2 emulator's ability to JIT arbitrary code. But you can just remove the emulator, which is a solution for the fact that you can't really "patch" or "fix" the hole since it's a design hole.

For most developers removing it would not be an acceptable fix or patch, but Sony has historically been happy to shoot products in the head even after people paid for them, so it's probably not off-limits here.
You are supposed to buy the book to know the secrets. :) The article is still useful as it does a decent job of busting popular social perceptions in the west that often prevent us from socialising even to make small talks with strangers. Ofcourse as an indian, I didn't find it much useful - I grew up watching my parent's generation interact and socialise with strangers whenever and wherever they travelled. So I too have inculcated that habit. But I do feel it is a dying skill (and it is nothing but that - a social skill that anyone can and should learn).
The plates get washed, and waiters are supposed to be washing their hands on the reg. I expect the plates are a lot cleaner than paper menus.
Over time stocks tend to beat inflation. Looking at one small window of time is just wrong.

Plus if you just look at liquid assets you miss how these people actually made their money.

Plus if you look at the long term 3% compound inflation is seriously corrosive. That's over 30% of your wealth gone in 10 years. How long before things like food and bills become serious concerns?
Some cars like My ex-wife's lexus wont let you access the navigation system unless the vehicle is stopped.

This is VERY VERY stupid and TBH dangerous. Should se find herself lost on the highway she would need to leave the highway or stop on the side of the road to access the navigation system??

If you attempt to access the nav system while the vehicle is not stopped it simply displays some sort of "vehicle is in motion" alarm.

My Elantra wont let me use the keyboard to enter an address while the vehicle is in motion, but it will let me use Siri so i can make changes while moving if needed.
This is going to cost lives. Most people I know have their safety vests in the glovebox. Imagine if your car breaks down and you can't get the darn thing open/on the side of a highway?
That's incredibly naive.

It sounds like you're saying it's okay to do stupid stuff as long as someone popular does it first.
Chlorine has lots of industrial uses, so I imagine you sell it. If you produce enough as a by product the cost will go insanely low.

If you had to dump it, you'd probably react it with something cheap to make it inert. This would generate energy, it's akin to combustion with oxygen. You could use that energy to decrease the energy requirements of splitting the NaCl in the first step.
This sort of thing is why I'll never buy a car in the first place. It's cheaper and doesn't burn fossil fuels.

Heck, "not buying a car" is one of those very few decisions I took when I was young which resulted in me not being in debt for the rest of my life.

The socket in your example is Type F, Schuko. Those are only available in recessed form, any flat variants are strictly verboten, nonconforming, etc.

It is actually another problem of the original article: It doesn't show and distinguish between recessed sockets and sockets that are available/allowed to be used in a flat form.

The recess also makes the mechanical mating far more robust and takes away mechanical wear from the prongs. So in contrast to flat designs like the British, where all the force rests on the (admittedly thicker) prongs, Type F avoids that problem by distributing most of the forces into the socket housing. Of course you need to replace that if cracked, but you avoid the danger of cracks in the prongs. Cracked or bent prongs are really a fire danger because if they don't immediately fall of (which is the good case), they might continue to be used, albeit with increased electrical resistance due to the crack. Resistance leads to overheating, overheating leads to fires. And no RCCB/SRCD or OCB will help you there. An AFDD might (if there is an arc, which might be 50% of cases), but nobody has those because they are fairly new, very expensive and only code-required in some special types of buildings (care facilities, hospitals and such).
Except that, ironically, management has done brilliantly in finding a sucker to sell the company to at an inflated valuation, so shareholders did quite well.
There isn't an issue with resistive heating. The safety margin is down a few factors from the 8-pin PCIe adapter, but there is still a healthy safety factor.

This isn't like running kA of current where the threat of thermal runaway is always present, even with active cooling. I worked on a stellarator that had a coil feed blow (years before I started). Pushing even 10% more current meant a complete overhaul of the feeds. That's what thin margins looks like.
Twitter wasn't too far off profitability. I looked at the numbers and you could definitely get it to profitability by reducing staff numbers and relocating to much cheaper places (literally anywhere except SV).

I think their loss was around $200m/year and staff costs around $300m/year. Something like that. SV salaries are easily double or triple European salaries.
Tough situation, clearly lots of emotions which is understandable. As others mention, startups are high risk, don’t let cofounders manipulate your thinking on that.
Re:launch cost & funding, I’d ask if you actually need that money. Can you get any customers with what you have? Investors are spoiled for choice, and can afford to make startups hit higher burden of proof before funding. Regardless of market challenges, showing sales & fit is a big deal. Getting that could change your fortunes.
If you do shut down, take pride in what you tried to do. Be sure to do a post mortem and take the learnings with you in your career. Startup or not, you’ve done something very hard that very few try. It will serves you well as n future work
Thank you! Must have missed it :)
Dude, what gross places are you eating at, and why?
I'd think you'd be charging the battery as normal 80% of the time and only swap when you're for longer trip.

But yeah, that seems more viable for stuff like electric scooters/motorcycles, as the cost of infrastructure would be much lower.
None of that requires SAFe, and would be probably be less costly to achieve without SAFe.

Hey, thanks for the shout out. I laughed out loud at being called a "Mel enthusiast" but it's totally true :)

>> Instead of running a test, Mel kept incrementing the value of the (A) field, as described in the story. This eventually led to an overflow of the entire register, provided the index register bit (X) was on – exactly as Nather remembered. Using 101 as the TBC opcode yields the following sequence:

>> The overflow would toggle the BCU on, causing the heretofore ineffective TBC to transfer control to the address in the (A) field, which was 0.

Wow. I kind of waved my hands at that solution, but you worked it out almost in full (short of actually coding it ... I guess there's no emulator for the RPC-4000 around? Someone should go and write one seeing as the architecture is mostly in the manuals and all. Someone... else >_>). Good stuff!

In your career, how often have you seen good software engineers whose main contribution was deleting code ?

Please take my argument in good faith: I am not looking at evaluating people based on their added LOC. The context is at orgs where I have reason to believe some people are slacking off, and looking for people who do next to nothing.

That's much more common than people who magically make everyone more effective by only deleting code.
Very nice, I'm glad you shared. I had a hobby project with the same problem but I took a different approach optimizing for search and retrieval using a Raaco storage cabinet which takes up a lot more space but you have the resistors more easily accessible. It does requires a lot of work folding all the 'compartment papers' so not for the faint of heart. The main benefit for the resistors is that you don't have to take the entire strip out, just cut the resistors loose while they are still inside the drawer.

https://github.com/tonybjorkman/raaco-organizer

I think using existing 'card binder'-sheets would make your solution even easier to make. And adding tabs would make search quicker. I will keep your solution in mind whenever there is a need to catalog large number of flat items, especially if I need to save space or move them around.

Trade is only about a quarter of the U.S. GDP. It would be kind of silly to manage domestic inflation solely to create financial international advantage. The U.S.’s strongest international advantage is our strong domestic economy (the business that Americans do with each other). Inflation is managed to support that.

Specifically, the goal of the Fed is to create stability, which major businesses need to do long term planning. It is more stable to “err” consistently on one side of the origin or the other; the Fed errs slightly on the side of inflation because it creates an incentive to invest.

You can look back at historical inflation rates and see the crazy volatility that existed before the Fed: swings of as much as 10% from inflation to deflation and back again. This made it very hard for people and businesses to make long-term financial decisions.

I'd also recommend that folks reading this remember not to put too much pressure on women when trying this out. They are already approached a lot and often will feel the need not to communicate their discomfort having had saying No go badly many times in the past.

Just remember that when you approach someone they might be uncomfortable even if they don't say that. Keep the pressure on yourself to end things, don't put it on the stranger you've chosen
I read an article that showed that talking regularly to strangers and exposing yourself to "uncomfortable" situations can help you to reduce your "uncomfortability" levels, ie: you can learn to be comfortable in any situation by repeated exposition to uncomfortable situations.
The sceptic in me feels this research is extremely fishy. This was done on fish. How much of the observed external characteristics of fish can be attributed to behavior?

They are looking at median swimming speed and how fish swim. Calling this "behavior" is misleading. It could just as likely be developmental physical differences.

They watched fish swim and saw that they are more correlated with themselves than others. Everything else is a very fishy narrative. Many people in this thread judge it by empathy with the story instead of what can be reasonably done.

This is really task/domain-dependent. It's convenient in shell scripts and AWK, but in bigger programs it really isn't good.

One of the things I love about Python is that its type system is actually quite strong, in that implicit conversion is very rare in the standard library and somewhat frowned upon in general. Having "falsy" and "truthy" values that are not actually `bool` instances is maybe the only big exception.

> ... Then CTurt used the system's USB save import feature to get that file onto the target system.

As the number of such games is limited, it would be trivial to implement a save-file validation parser in the USB save import feature for these games and push it as a mandatory update. For digitally delivered titles, then you can patch the emulator. (EDIT: unless, the save file contains executable code. Seen it before, done as an obfuscation technique. Next point still apllies, though)

Also,

For that, change the workflow so that at each SW update you generate a new certificate. Upon releasing a new FW version, revoke all previous certificates.

I will leave this here, as I assumed from the title that it was this site:

https://www.plugsocketmuseum.nl/

The collection of plugs and sockets focuses on the following two categories:

1.
Plugs and sockets that are used for domestic purposes. That means 220-240 Volt / 10-16 Amp, or 100-125 Volt / 15-20 Amp devices that can be found in homes and offices, including, multi-plugs, adapter plugs, power cords that come with various types of appliance couplers.

2.
Plugs and sockets for single phase heavy duty, or three- phase applications in homes and/or workshops. The three-phase section is restricted to 400 Volt / 32 Amp, or US: 250 Volt / 60 Amp, or 480 Volt / 30 Amp.

Both modern and classical material is represented in the collection.
I really like your post,

I am extremely adept at talking to strangers, and I think its fn great to be able to chat-up a stranger and get to know them. it builds humanity and CO-munity.

I learn so much from others and I have a profound skill for just meeting a random and then being able to relate to them. most people are really surprised at my breadth of knowledge - and the thing is my breadth of knowledge is DUE to the fact that I chat so many people up to know them.

I thrive off talking to randoms.

EDIT: im lucky that I also have a good street smarts and I know what strangers to avoid

Only at 12v. Even microblade molex (really small) are 250v/2.5amp, and so have no trouble with 500w.

The wire insulation is rated much lower than the connector (105C vs 170C). You will certainly melt the wires before the connector.

At a higher voltage, these wires would be fine for purpose.
There isn’t. Sell the car, use the money towards a new one.

This looks like a really interesting set of language features. I do wonder why they decided to invent their own entirely new language though, instead of building on Tcl or Lua or a Basic dialect. Or even embedding Python. I can understand not wanting to use Scheme due to S-expressions being intimidating.

Did they consider them harder to learn in layers? Did they feel like some language features were lacking, or were unnecessary/undesirable? Were there problems with syntax that prevented Decker scripts from looking the way they wanted them to look?
