They'll eventually be dragged into the future by requirement, 1GbE is already standard on most equipment, with 2.5GbE and 1+gbit wifi becoming more common on consumer equipment. The increasing reliance of on-demand delivery of various forms of content, from multimedia to gaming, is already pushing 100Mbps connections to where 10Mbps connections were less than 5 years ago.

I think its worth choosing fiber in a new deployment, at least at the distribution level (between floors, or zones of the home). Most new computers come with ultra fast solid state storage, so even between systems on a local network, 10GbE speeds could be useful.

With the way the price of copper is going, and how much less efficient rj45/copper chipsets are compared to optical, I wouldn't be surprised if we see a shift to optical as a replacement to rj45 in the next decade.
I believe prisons in part serve the purpose to keep us in check. With the threat of prison, society is encouraged to police itself. As another comment in this thread mentioned, Foucault helped to develop these sort of ideas and describes the motivations and development of the prison system in his work.
I enjoyed your story, but I have one question: to what degree is it actually true?

For example, is it actually possible to see the future? Are you sure (and if so: how) that what you're describing is actually that?
Isn’t the case fully sealed here because of passive heat dissipation? So you would need to only clean the outside surface.

Get back to us if you ever have a loved one get murdered, raped, or assaulted.

Justice is not solely about rehabilitation. It is very much about righteous punishment for doing evil. We can acknowledge that context and environment foster crime while also not tolerating crime.

Personally, I don't give one care about the "why" of certain classes of crime. I have zero tolerance or empathy for the doers of violence. If you murder someone, your life is forfeit to me. If you rape someone, I hope you get locked away for a minimum of 20 years. If you seriously assault someone, you should have to do jail time.
California is broadening its housing crisis to the rest of the United States via remote working NIMBYs. It's a national problem now and it deserves a federal response. A century of property rights erosion has made it extremely difficult to erect the wide variety and large quantity of residential structures needed to serve demand. Congress needs to legislate away the Euclid v. Ambler decision pronto.
Copyleft makes all the difference.
If it's main purpose was deterrence, then why put in prison people who killed soneon by accident? Not murder but manslaughter. And person is really sorry for that act and would do anything to be sure it to not happen again.

In contrast, serving sentence in prison may change their personality.

So as I see it: it's revenge + lesson to people outside, to not commit crime.
I found it interesting how Canada uses LPG even though the winters get cold enough that LPG isn't usable. I lived in Alberta for a year and they had a warning that when it got below -40 the buses would not run. School was not cancelled when this happened, you had to find an alternate way to get there. They did helpfully remind you that exposed skin would freeze in about 5 minutes.
On the contrary, I wish my criminal aggressors had precisely the amount of empathy I have for them. Such crimes would not have occurred were that the case, nor would they even be possible (as I would never violate another fellow human being in such a way).

Furthermore, you may have gotten off with a day of inconvenience, but consider those victims that have permanent scars from their encounters with those lacking empathy. Victims of sexual assault, those suffering permanent injury, and the relatives of prematurely deceased victims will never be the same. These are not hypotheticals (e.g., just the stats on sexual violence against women are appalling). All we can do as a society for such individuals is do our best to prevent some percentage of future similar acts. A better path for reformation may be part of that, but I'm not sure squeezing victims for more empathy gets us very far.
How would the courts differentiate between someone who actually repented and was sorry vs someone who just convincingly went through the motions?
The current conditions favoring the elderly were the policy decisions that quintupled the value of those houses.

For me the mistake is that the elderly aren't being favored at all, but the wealthy. The elderly are held up as helpless examples of the wealthy that need to be protected. But instead of protecting the elderly by directly taking care of them, which is obviously communism, it's important to protect the elderly by protecting the wealthy in general.

Nobody cares about the broke baby boomers. They get to work at McDonald's until they are automated into homelessness.

I'm using Ubiquity Unifi 6 Pros right now, but am going to switch to the Enterprise ones (with 6Ghz) at some point soon. They are all integrated to the same controller (a UDM Pro), so all SSIDs I use are available everywhere. I even have a couple of them down the driveway all the way to the gate so I have wifi coverage all the way out.

Because I am old I grew up when zoom lenses generally were not good. So I always used prime lenses. Even now, when intellectually I know that thanks to fancy glass and cad-cam methods, zoom lenses are much better than they used to be, I still tend not to use them. But lately I tend to use either a 28 or 85 rather than the 50.
The YOLO badge is where it’s at.
Reminds me of the CppCon talk about andrei alexandrescu's Facebook strings and null terminators/capacity counters.
Let me second that.

Besides perhaps the Canon 50mm f/1.8, 50mm lens are big now. Like a grapefruit on the front of your camera, to the extent it kinda obviates the size reduction in mirrorless bodies—slimmer body, and a giant lens.

There are reasons for that. If you’re buying an interchangeable lens camera, you are probably after image quality, and the new generation of lenses are phenomenal. I am not sure if you’d call this Nikon cheap, but it blows away all their previous offerings. (https://www.zsystemuser.com/z-mount-lenses/nikkor-lenses/nik...)
Do you have the same amount of confidence that the legal system can tell innocent people apart from guilty people?
I'm arguing that it's selfish to push people, and this argument doesn't imply that I'm opposed to proper crowd control. I also think people shouldn't drive dangerously, but that doesn't mean I'm opposed to traffic control measures or mechanisms.

> In other words, just think it through? Nobody is endangering their own life to get closer to an amusement.

I didn't claim people were endangering their own lives to get closer to an amusement (although that's probably true as well in some sense), I claimed that they are disregarding others' safety, which is actually probably too weak a phrasing since it suggests passivity rather than the fact of the matter: people who push (even gently) to get closer to some stage/etc actively and lethally endanger others for the sole purpose of being closer to an amusement.

Hydrogen, also, has a much lower volumetric energy density that gasoline, diesel, or even LNG, and requires a bunch more equipment to maintain the cryogenic temperatutes required to keep it in a liquid state.
The idea of building minimalist apps on a stack that is famous for being awfuly bloated, and on a browser of all things, which more often than not finds itself to be the cause of even worst habits, seems like a bit of an oxymoron.
This was an interesting read but doesn't make sense.

I tried these powerline adapters and found they were very unreliable across the two phases in my own home. By this i mean if i plugged one adapter into an outlet, i had to find another outlet on the same side of the panel to get it to work.

To hear that it is working across homes means it must have went back to the transformer??
I spent a month in the hole. It wasn't pleasant.

- I stayed asleep for as long as I could, whenever I could. Chlorpheniramine was readily distributed to prisoners.

- Exercise was difficult for me after the first week, as was motivation for basically anything.

- I read anything they would bring down there.

- We didn't have a choice in the books we had, so picking something to study wasn't really an option. Outside of the hole, I eventually had an outside person send me a biochemistry textbook though. However, being autodidactic is difficult with a single reference.

- No one talked to me in the segregated housing unit, except for correction officers and during the 5-10 minutes I was able to use the phone a day.

- I didn't experience any prison administrators attempting to provoke any inmates. Although, the grievance system was basically a journaling activity.

- I found it very difficult to write anything longer than a paragraph to anyone my whole time in prison.

- I was a known atheist in prison, due to some reading material I received in the mail. Outside of the SHU, people often tried to engage me about my beliefs, which I avoided.
I have a Sigma 30mm 1.4 in Fuji X-Mount (https://www.sigmaphoto.com/30mm-f1-4-dc-dn-c), which is ~45mm full-frame equivalent (FFE), and it's one of the most cost-effective lenses in existence, given its quality relative to its price.

The downside around the "perfect framing" is that focal length will change perspective: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion_(photog... (take a head a shoulders portrait of yourself with a 20mm and then 85mm lens to see). Almost all professional photographers who need to get the shot have moved to zooms for good reason.
There are many pieces of advice that can be said, but what I would say is this:

Don't bottle all of this in; it'll only build resentment.

Be humble, speak your mind appropriately and professionally, and after you've done so, lean on the tech lead and manager for direction.
I really like the Norwegian model where the maximum sentence is 21 years, and a judge has to actively intervene near the tone of release if they want to extend it.

Requiring action to keep someone incarcerated rather than released makes it harder to forget about people and let them sleep through the cracks
The stock market has many stocks. Many will crumple and suffer from higher interest rates, less globalization, etc. However people who got used to investing in the market easily are not going to move their money elsewhere for a while if at all. Instead it seems like many are pulling money out of index and small cap and moving them into a handful of monopoly stocks, thus concentrating the gains and potentially creating FOMO. Some stocks do well even in down markets and with high interest rates on real estate, they seem an easy target.
It generally heavily depends on room it is in. My PC at home (no AC, middle of city) pretty much needs yearly dusting, one in office (AC) barely gets any dust, servers in datacenter even less even after near decade of use (we had some legacy stuff)

I agree it isn't rocket science, but plastering if one of those things best left to professionals, much more so than plumbing or electrical for instance. They usually make near minimum wage, are just so much faster and produce a better result.

I've started plastering a few of my walls and after wasting a couple days doing a few square meters ended up hiring a couple guys to do the rest of the house. There is just no comparison in value.
I'm sure the family of the people this guy murdered appreciate that he is not getting pampered with their tax dollars.

Latterly, Crichton’s books started to read more like screenplay treatments than novels—which they sort of were.

Rising Sun though I think you have to see through the lens of the time.
I’m curious, why is this?
I just redid my whole kitchen to the studs. You're making it out to be a bigger deal than it is. Now I'm onto a bedroom where I removed two whole walls that had been weirdly built to cut the room into a smaller room. This is going to require a bunch of repair work, all the way to the ceilings.

Certainly, if you're looking for perfectly smooth walls, then you're never going to be happy regardless. My place is Santa Fe, which is perfect... it is supposed to be messy. But this is a place built in the 40's... nothing is perfect. Doing something perfectly would stand out even more.

If you want old paints to match, then just paint the whole wall. That's easier and probably the right solution anyway.
I think the manner in which different people calculate(?) causality is very interesting.

Speaking of calculations: what data sources do you use for yours?

I'm sorry, but it isn't that hard, really. Also, awkward to talk about how you pay someone a barely living wage as an excuse to not do it yourself.
Deterrence is a very legit reason. At least make the rational actor part evaluate if the crime is worth the risk and time spend in jail.

Now part of this group should be able to reintegrate. If they are given a reasonable chance, but it feels that entire other part of system is build on this never happening.
Is it a suitable option for powering ships?
We don't put people in jail merely for killing someone by accident. There needs to be an additional component of recklessness, carelessness, etc.
Yes, Jerrycans. Seriously.

For all it's issues, petroleum is extremely convenient in that it can be transferred and contained in such a low tech way with (relative) safety.
Yep - best practice is to always tunnel, or reverse proxy out on a random port if you're self-hosting anything. Have had many providers over the years and have anecdotally found that experience to be very true.
My guess is Spectrum has been rate limiting port 5060 for a while, and finally just turned it off.

Nice.
There aren't endless resources. Actively reducing would take a lot of effort from a lot of smart people and I'd rather spend those big brains on improving math and reading skills amongst children, or cancer research, or diabetes research, or dementia research.

Believe it or not, a society with 300 million plus people can do many things at once.

Human resources aren't really fungible. Big brains spent on improving education of children can't really be reallocated to spend on cancer research or other part of medical science, not without extensive training at least.

So too we can spend on psychological, social services, and welfare which is what we probably need to reduce crime and overall human suffering to a more manageable level. Hopefully, the improvement to societal health means more resources are available that can be then reallocated to tackle the remainder of human caused suffering.
In my limited photography experience, a prime lens forces you to move and work more to get a pleasing composition which teaches your eye better than twisting a zoom lens.
I'd like a US criminal justice system that got this part - my hand hurts when I touch a hot stove - right. Instead what happens is that you touch the hot stove 20 times to no effect and on time 21 your hand is burned to a crisp.

Worse still it's burned to a crisp the day after you touch the stove. Is my hand a blackened stump because of the stove? Maybe? Who can say for sure.

My ideal would be that when you commit a crime the justice system finds you guilty or innocent extremely quickly and if prison time is the punishment you get in prison quickly, get out quickly and once done with that the slate is clean. I honestly think that would be more of a deterrent then the status quo.
This is a pet rant of mine.

The U.S. will always fetish gadgets at the expense of simple functionality.

You'll always get a DDG-51 rather than an FFG-7; an M-16 rather than an AK-47.

This despite the reality that the FFG-7 does most of what you need a navy to do, more cheaply, and an AK-47 is far less fuss and bother than an M-16.

The F-14 falls right in line.
The last part really leads to to question, what do people expect to happen? Them willingly starve or freeze to death?
Thank you for being honest.

This safe, "no worries" C++ was segfaulting. You've managed to make it correct today but it's still unsafe.

With GPL, source code only needs to be shared to the parties the software is distributed to.

A company-internal software can have as much GPL as they want, they don't need to publish any source code. So yeah, MIT and GPL would have exactly the same outcome.
Fuel cells in the vehicle would be much more efficient. Combustion generators in the car have storage issues and efficiency issues. liquid hydrogen needs cryogenic storage, compressed hydrogen isn't space efficient relative to the output. Combustion generators at home would suffer from the same storage problems as in cars.

Well it’s possible for all these things to be true at the same time. I was mugged years ago by a group of high school kids - when the cops were able to track them down, they were all living in a shelter for kids in the foster system who had been unable to find a foster family, typically because of unmanageable behavior. They had often been the victims of sexual or physical abuse, and had lived on the streets.

It’s difficult to hear about that and not have some pity for those kids- yeah they got my phone, but I got to go home to my wife and kid and a high paying tech job.

At the same time, I have a distant relative who will spend the rest of his life in jail for committing a serial string of crimes without apparent remorse over many years. Family members who know him describe him as “scary” and a “psychopath” - but he was also kidnapped and abused as a child. Are those things unrelated? Are some people just evil?
If it's loneliness that concerns you (whew lad), I would just say that being forced to socialize with the criminal population feels just like being alone, with the exception that you can really get stabbed.
> How about don't play stupid whataboutist games in which somehow US crimes justify Russian ones?

I will go even further: how about we don't live in Fantasyland?
I've never understood why the AIM-54 wasn't replatformed after the decision was made to retire the F-14.

I guess procurement politics?

But maybe also because the terminal active radar guidance was no longer capable of burning through expected Russian ECM? And in a balancing of "substantially update and redesign" vs "invest elsewhere", long-range fleet missiles weren't a priority in the wake of the USSR's collapse and Russia's economic struggles.

I've outgrown it, personally. For that "natural" perspective, 35mm is still wide enough to shoot a scene "the way you see it", but it can still be surprisingly intimate. And for the "portrait" thing, anything 70-100mm is a sweet spot. 50mm is trying to split the difference between both scenarios but doesn't really achieve either. So personally, I'm more likely to carry a 35+85 duo. Or in fact, a 50mm f/1.8 on an APS-C crop camera along with my smartphone. Or, a smartphone with a portrait lens. I just zoom in from the default 24mm a lot of times, that's it.

From a tech point of view, 50mm is the easiest lens to build. That's why they used to be on everything. Not because they're useful. A symmetric double gauss setup with six lenses is kinda straightforward and it works okay, it even becomes excellent once stopped down. Sharp 35mm lenses that are also fast can only be built with aspherical lenses, so traditionally it wasn't really possible to build fast ones that are also good. Recent ones are excellent, but as always, many photographers refuse to go with the times, and they'll repeat decade old advice.

(TL;DR: Smartphones do a lot of things right, and their evolution was backed by data. They first went from 28mm to 24mm, added 16mm second, then added 75mm third, and only then did they add 48mm as a 2x zoom into the 24mm camera. It's neat, but not essential.)
You can still buy cheap and light ones, no?
So because we're not perfect we should do nothing?
We can only wish this is the case.

We are about to have a demographic crunch where we will have massive worker shortages. That is inherently inflationary, and we will need automation which is inherently deflationary if we want to keep the lifestyle we have.
Is there a best practice for which bidi direction to choose for which device type?

i.e. I assume you don't want to just wing it for every link, so do people typically choose to use all A/B on the switch side, and all B/A on the desktop/server side? If I were walking into a business, not having setup their network, what direction would I expect to need on the desktop/server side?
Funny to imagine how it burns in the fuel cell to maintain the cryogenic environment - thus it just depletes itself sitting in the same place.
> But the people on internet told me MIT means more freedom than GNU coz you can do more things with code! /s

Why /s? You literally and unironically can do more things with permissive code than copyleft. Amongst those things are "incorporate it into proprietary software" and "make a closed-source fork or distribution". That's the point.
I would argue that outside of the Elon Musk tier of the deep tech world (and there's really only one person like that) almost every other person I know making measurable progress in hard technology is extremely focused on one thing at a time. The Crichton style 100-things-at-once approach grabs more headlines, retweets, and attention - but most of the engineers I know working on fusion reactors, electric vehicles, carbon capture, artificial intelligence, space travel, and medical advances are not trying to be VCs, entertainers, authors, and philanthropists at the same time they move their field forward.

Focus on running towards what actually moves the world forward and you'll discover the other people who are keeping up with you quickly. Don't worry about all of the noise around busier people working on other things. None of that will last.
