>>Studio photographers need connectivity, everyone else needs two fast storage card slots.

That is, at best, myopic.

Sports photographers need fast connectivity far more than studio photographers. Their whole business is to take, select, and send shots out as fast as possible.

News coverage needs fast connectivity.

Think even wedding photography - the ability to share photos to social networks right after ceremony, or display the couple shots during dinner is a professional USP. Instead, I'm juggling card reader, with my "two fast cards" and laptop and lightroom on my lap during speeches.

Just about every type of photography, professional or consumer, benefits from fast and easy connectivity.

>>And your comment is honestly the first time I hear anybody claim Nikons menu system is "bad"

Possible. we simply have different colleagues and frequent different forums then :).

Their menu system is powerful but poorly designed. Why are there two different types of setting banks? Why aren't there hardware buttons to select them? Why is some stuff unDer shooting but other under 6 layers of custom setting menu? Which is different than setup menu? Why is AF ON setup not under "controls"? And myriad other idiosyncracies.

Just because you're used to it (as am I!) does not make it good.

Right, so "so much for free speech absolutism" is exactly right. Turns out even Elon has a line that is well short of "law of the land." Because, fucking obviously.
Sure, but he has a Civic from the mid-2000s and lives in a typically-priced LA low-rise rental apartment in an okay-but-not-amazing neighborhood. Funnily enough, he's dating a girl in a very similar situation who currently has an occupation of "pet sitter."

If you actually sat down and did the math, it'd be obvious. But most people don't think that hard about it, and will accept an answer of "I'm a script writer" in the context of e.g. telling a Tinder date what you do for a living.
> There used to be a site that categorized boot camps by results. Maybe try that?

I think you're talking about either the Council on Integrity in Results Reporting (CIRR) [1], or Course Report [2] (both still up). CIRR is a body run by the code school industry itself to monitor its own results; Course Report has over 50k reviews by students as well as articles with tips about how to pick a code school, "top x code schools for y" lists, etc.

CIRR seems to be reasonably rigorous and honest. Their reports are easily available on the site. I've poked around in their reports, and there's a huge range of results, from less than 50% employment at 6 months to 80%+. There seems to be little to no correlation between the reputation of a given school and the actual outcomes (some of the most reputable schools had employment rates of 50%-60% at 6 months).

A big trend I noticed was that the schools with the highest employment rates were relatively low-profile schools teaching unsexy technologies that are low in SV buzz but nonetheless have high demand, like Java and C#.

>You can buy target date funds to minimize how much you have to manually reallocate between equities and bonds, and you can buy an annuity from an insurance company to guarantee a certain income.

So to minimize the risk of market crash, you have to give up probably 4 or 5 years of decent returns by sitting in bonds instead. And if you want security of annuity you have to pay for that too, plus pay for the insurance man's profits. I just did a quote to put specific numbers in, to get 80k on my 100k salary for a set period of 20 years, I'd need to pay 1.1 million. That's 11 years of salary needed after taxes. Possibly I could have it after 32 years.

>I do not understand your distinctions between liability and cost of a DB pension.

The pension fund is a big pot of money that's supposed to have enough in it to pay costs for the next 30 years, assuming that the pension closed to new hires today. So the actuary says the present value of those costs is 10 billion, maybe the fund has 9 billion, you have a 1 billion dollar liability. This can be gamed.

But the actual costs for the next 30 years, based on actuarial assumptions and existing retirees, maybe are 18 billion in nominal dollars. Again, making assumptions about payroll, we can calculate this 18 billion as a percent of payroll over the same time. In my case, 16-18% is enough to cover. Unrelated to the fact that the fund has 9 billion or 11 billion or 1 billion.

I guess the question is are saving rates low because of mortgages or because of CC debt? I'd tend to lean toward CC debt, as a good chunk of the population doesn't even have a mortgage, the cost is typically fixed, and you don't take out an extra mortgage to pay for 15% inflation in food, you put it on a CC.

CC debt is also far more damaging to household finances, particularly during high inflation as you're just piling ~%20 CC interest rates on top of the inflation rate. So a "return to normal" is going to be far more damaging in 2022/2023 conditions than it would be in 2019 conditions. There's also no indication that CC debt is going to level out, the "normal" in 2019 was an upward spike as it was, and inflation is likely going to continue due to structural factors, which is going to continue to force people to compensate, which likely means an even sharper increase in CC debt.

Getting back to the potential railroad strike, put an extra 10% inflation on top of everything and for many people that's another 30% after they put it on a CC they can't/don't pay off. For many households it would appear we're looking at literally exponentially increasing levels of debt, mostly fueled by CCs and high inflation. That's a crisis.
In the case of Athens, it was only 61 years between Socrates being accused of "corrupting the youth" and Athens being conquered by the much more rural and conservative (small c) Macedonians.
That's definitely not the case. While I don't play these games, or much else on the Switch, I have a friend who is passionate about this and they have shown me immediate comparisons with the likes of Monster Hunter, BoTW, and several other games on the same hardware that make the most recent Pokemon game look 3 generations older in side-by-sides.

Even the previous pokemon release on the Switch (Arceus?), which is not amazing visually, looks positively fantastic when it's sitting next to the latest, hot-garbage release.

Because Elon doesn't actually have an ounce of moral intelligence. Like virtually every other thing that has happened with this whole takeover, he appears not to have really thought about the problem for more than 30 seconds.

True, but like all rights, they aren't unlimited. There are both lawful and unlawful strikes and the delineation between the two is sometimes hard to determine.
Interesting; I had not heard that. What specifically about 9/11 do you allege led to the perception that JIT is bad? Looking back, I don't see an obvious connection to either logistics or manufacturing, but I am definitely curious.

If you make it possible for a large enough population of immigrants to be legally permitted to work, you create a situation where employers can remain within the law and only employ people who have legal right to work, meaning you can afford to actually enforce the law preventing employers from employing illegal workers (without as a side effect completely shutting down agriculture, construction and cleaning services across several states).

THAT reduces the incentive to enter the country outside the legal framework, since all the jobs are going to people who have the paperwork.

People do not want to go to live in places where they have no economic prospects.

> Yet in software engineering, this is exactly what has been happening every day for more than a decade.

Not really. Rust is the first major attempt to achieve c/c++ performance & capability while also being safe.

Prior to that nearly every memory safe language came with crippling tradeoffs, and that is why people rejected them. Especially as performance and efficiency took center stage again with the massive increase in battery powered devices & the general plateau of single core CPU performance over the last decade
On-call is fine if you get paid for the on-call hours and you have agreed to them in your contract. Just making people work for 24h a day for free is unacceptable. Oh it’s not work you’re just waiting to get pages at a minutes notice - yeah that’s work

Neat, though I hope I helped your curiosity regarding why people find flakes useful.

With home-manager, you can declare a flake configuration where home-manager is an input; and then applying the configuration is pretty hands-off since Nix will fetch the appropriate revisions of the inputs.

I think that using flakes is more convenient than the alternatives. (Having to add a channel; or, as you point out, cloning the repository in a consistent path on each system you use & then running that).
I haven't worked for the corporate world since 2004. When I got back from a trip to Europe I realized I was working myself into the ground and decided to take the hit and start my own business. Now I set my own hours. I think that the time off from work during the pandemic is making others reconsider working for someone else. I laughed out loud when I read some corporate slave droning on about people don't want to work. Stop treating people like cogs in a wheel and create something that society values thats ethical. And maybe, just maybe, you will retain people who actually care about what you do.

They don't use it in Android-the-OS. It would fill the same place as Java and Kotlin, and adding a third managed language wouldn't add much benefit.
They used to be good. The games had a good enough battle mechanic to have a competitive scene, and they had enough content after the main game to keep playing it for a long time. The battles are simple, but can actually get quite strategically high level with lots of nuances if both sides know what they're doing. That kind of battling didn't come into play in the main game except maybe in the Elite Four, but it mattered afterward in the Battle Tower (or whatever it was called), and online battles.

Also, you could transfer ANY pokemon from ANY game to the new game, complete with special moves and items, such as mega-evolutions. Building good teams and all the work going into it, from breeding to training, was fun. There were complex breeding mechanics to get pokemon with unusual moves or better than average stats, and there were side games like Pokemon beauty pageants that you could breed and train them for. Also there were extremely rare "shiny" Pokemon with unusual colors or markings. Those are still there, but it's a lot less meaningful to have one when you can't transfer it to other games anymore.
Yes but now they can't change because the first one to do this becomes uncompetitive, the only way to introduce this in a fair way that otherwise maintains market competition is to introduce a rule that applies to all the companies in the market that says you must offer paid sick leave.

Edit: A more extreme example; there is a rule that says airlines mustn't make pilots work more than a certain number of hours without a rest period. This rule applies to all airlines. This rule was introduced to reduce the number of planes crashed by tired pilots.
It is far more impactful upon code density to compile 32-bit binaries, and eschew 64-bit.

Solaris was known to do precisely this for everything in /bin. I recently saw this in action on a copy of SmartOS, and I imagine that OpenIndiana does the same.

It's a shame that no major Linux distribution has openly performed this analysis for x86-64 and AArch64. ARM Thumb is also the smallest Busybox available for ARM 32-bit.

On the other hand, two copies of libc are essentially thrashing the instruction cache.
If I cut down the trees blocking my view, I would have enough cash in had to pay the local telco to drag fiber out to me. We are taking about dozens of old growth trees here.

Ahh, you can't really call off sick when you are actually sick. Yeah, that's a problem. There has to be some slack in the system for unscheduled time off. We should have learned that by now.
> Remember when RISC didn't have division instructions because that was a complex microcode? I remember.

> Over in CISC land, x86 'DIV' was...

Don't forget that the same thing existed / exists in the CISC world. In the "old days" floating point was an optional unit, not just on some Mainframes but on early x86s as well, with the 8087 unit, whose quirks were in the design of IEEE 754 (avoiding the quirks!). Vector units and such were also external add ons.

The guiding theme, if there is/was one of CISC architectures was the ability for people to write assembly code. That's why there are all those string manipulation instructions and the like: think of those old instruction sets as basically ALU manipulation plus some convenience subroutines implemented in hardware/microcode.

The breakthrough of the 801 was realizing that with the rise of compilers, those convenience features were no longer needed and all the work required to support them was wasted and could be jettisoned.

I really don't understand why Intel and AMD haven't fully implemented this point: just implement the instructions that compilers use, plus the ones needed for bootstrapping and kernels. Put all the "legacy" instructions into user mode library code. It would simplify the silicon, likely reducing bugs.

BTW we are still in this functional unit environment, in spades: look at how much die area on the Apple M1 is used for non-CPU computation units.
You are probably right. It does look like a SEO spam site!

This is what happens when you form ideas divorced from any evidence. More Democrats watch Fox News and Tucker Carlson specifically than any of the more liberal-leaning networks. Do most Democrats want to genocide trans people too? Or are you claiming they're watching Tucker ironically?

> And then do I think Tucker Carlson is part of the "Trans people are evil" rhetoric crowd? yes, hard to deny that imo.

It's easy to deny it actually, he has never called for violence against trans people to my knowledge, and in fact has always condemned violence. People are not so circumspect if they think they're legitimately fighting evil.
