We had dependency conflicts between the latest separate releases for both older and newer nVidia hardware (obviously all complaints should be directed at nVidia there), and issues with the latest AMD drivers for their older devices panicking on unload in the presence of certain newer hardware and/or issues loading KMS for the newer products at the same time time as the separate driver for the older. Can’t remember the specifics but we had to load and try them in a certain order (not having a perfect map of hardware ids).
this line of thinking is quite difficult to get by in the modern world, same applies to vaccines, or to your car, or to the food you eat the browser you use, etc, in fact if you randomly look in your room right now it is very likely that you will be shocked (e.g. the complexity of the HDMI cable)

I believe reversing for interoperability purposes is protected (at least here in the US), and I'd guess all reversing is "protected" if one doesn't share the resulting code (as with TFA), but I would bet that a crowdsourced setup like you're describing would run afoul of patent and copyright laws and ultimately the legal system is "he who has the most lawyers wins"

I have often wondered what the legal area is for sharing a Ghidra database that merely labels existing code, but I haven't looked into how much of the original binary gets packaged up with such a database

That’s a very weird take, since a large part of the population spend hours daily consuming art: Music, TV and movies (created by all sort of artists, from actors to directors of photography, writers and set designers). We can add some video game genres there.

Also, art is way more accessible than most professions, good motor skills or not.

High school students are taught plug-and-chug calculus where one uses rules and formulae without any real understanding of the underlying subtleties that make calculus work.
There's no date or time which is objectively special, of course. Historical accident has simply given many societies a common period in the middle of Northern hemisphere winter in which we band together to banish the cold and darkness for a time, to remember that light and warmth will come, and to take some time (however brief) away from the constant cruel work that survival requires.

Of course, many people don't need a festival like this any more, and it's easy to forget why it's there. Various religions have piggy-backed off this practice to celebrate specific things at the same time. The Northern European cultures in particular were extremely infectious and have exported the practice to many geographic locations where it's neither cold nor dark at this time of year. For many people, the "constant cruel work" is no longer either constant or cruel. But at least in the UK we have long memories, and some things are worth remembering!

Over the past four decades, the rise in the cost of post-secondary education has outpaced everything else: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_tuition_in_the_United_...

The cost attending a comparable elite university in other countries is often multiple times lower. For example, tuition at Cambridge University for British citizens is ~$9K/year: https://www.undergraduate.study.cam.ac.uk/sites/www.undergra...

The only people I personally know who think bureaucratic bloat isn't a big problem at elite universities in the US are themselves members of that bureaucracy. All the college professors I personally know think bureaucratic bloat is a problem. All the college students I personally know (mostly relatives) also think bureaucratic bloat is a problem.
I personally love the fact that BS is being developed actively. I invested a lot of time learning all the scss and mixin files intimately and always appreciated how the team structured them such that it strikes the right balance between turn-key vs customization.
Anyone interested in the 2021 emergency should check out the Flow Immersive data story. Its one of those where 3D just captures everything so much better due to the multiple overlapping factors like energy mix, temps, demand, and off the scale price spikes. The blog post offers a narrative play by play summary [1] but the 3D visualizations are super well done and original [2]. Amazing they came so close to loosing the grid and amazing here we are again with capacity issues.

It’s always so cool to see these deep dives into older technology. For example, I grew up during the era of these but wasn’t aware of them. So, now not only do I get to read and explore a bit of computer history, but also learn how it worked? I’m not sure why, but this type of technology archaeology just fascinates me. I hope they do more!
Some part of the boot stack expected to be able to make VBE calls to set the inital screen mode before loading actual drivers, which means hardware that wants to support Windows 7 needs to provide a CSM layer to support that even if it's otherwise booting via EFI (the CSM layer just rewrites VBE calls into EFI GOP calls, so the graphics card doesn't need to provide VBE itself)
Has Stanford ever not been a finishing school for politically correct resume-building spreadsheet fillers?

They could probably get away with having wild parties on the side, before camera phones and social media. But, like, the fact that you must now choose between attending wild parties and being a spreadsheet filler is the real reason why there aren't wild parties at Stanford anymore.
So what, you only pay for food once?
Yeah I did that too with gloves and goggles, when I was living abroad. But then its very safe and you have some wonderful pretzels at the end.
Someone ignored me completely when I mentioned the school I went to (ranked like 110th in USA) and I felt pretty bad.

I know elite college people are smart but I feel like they can also be really mean/petty. Granted, I’ve only met a handful people from such institutions and only one person didn’t act weird about it.

ALL of my Ukraininan friends, including a classmate of 6 years who immigrated to Ukraine from Russia are volunteering to fight this war, or work as volunteers for a relief effort, 2 women included, who went back to Ukraine after living for years in Canada. And I am not some crazy nationalist. I just have a taste in finding people who are best, and brightest.

So far, in my contact list: 1 owner of a SMT factory from Kiyv, chief agronomist in a large farm enterprise in the south, 3 senior software developers who were making 6 digits up to the point the decided to go to war.
I've done big government contracts for many years as a consultant in Norway, and haven't really seen this. Guess it's because Java is so much better than those .NET monoliths ;)

But seriously, I guess it depends on the maturity of those writing the tender / anbud. Too often they get bamboozled by big4 like consultancies (Accenture, Sopra Steria etc..) that act more like project managers and sales people than developers.

The company I used to work for actually stopped giving offers on lots of these kind of projects. None of us wanted to work on these kind of bureaucratic nightmares where one is set up to fail. It's much more fun to deliver something of value, even if one doing something else could've squeezed out some more money. We "fired" clients that didn't give us opportunity to actually do good or have an impact.

I think more of these public sector tenders should stop focusing on "projects", and instead focusing on just getting the correct people that can help them iteratively move in the correct direction.

Unfortunately it's often hard to get money for this. Easier to say "we need X millions for this huge project".
You're probably right on that. I now weigh my options to try to find a middle ground between impossible to change because it wasn't designed for change and impossible to change because it was designed for too many future use cases that will never happen.
I pay close attention to the UX and UI of the tools that I use that are security critical.

I switched off of LastPass 2 years ago and convinced my brother to do the same because some things in LastPass apps started to feel very old, especially their 2FA implementation, which signals to me that either their stack is inflexible or there's a lot of churn in their dev teams. When those things are true, that means they're probably just maintaining old code instead of evolving it. Or even more terrifying: they don't know what needs to evolve.

Not regretting it so far.
> I have a feeling that they just tinker…

Totally! First, they took the easy way out with a complete rewrite for Bootstrap 4.

"With Bootstrap 4, we once again rewrote the project to account for two key architectural changes: a migration to Sass and the move to CSS’s flexbox. Our intention is to help in a small way to move the web development community forward by pushing for newer CSS properties, fewer dependencies, and new technologies across more modern browsers."

For Bootstrap 5, they didn't even do that much — just new and updated components (including checks and radios), new and updated utilities, significantly-enhanced forms support, RTL support, improvements to the grid system, and more.

I had a secular upbringing and basically the dream secular life in my 20s and 30s: overeducated, single in NYC, dating a ton, traveling the world, etc.

Then I got married and had kids and realized that this "boring mainstream" life is peak experience.

In other words, it took me 20 extra years to arrive at a life that someone brought up religious would just consider the default.

Like I said, I am sure there are extreme cases and I am not talking about those. Just talking about the base case, religious folks' default life path feels healthier.

Agreed.

The part I don't get about these discussions is that Firefox saves passwords offline for me just fine, and I have to trust my browser to handle my passwords already anyway. Sure, I have to manually copy a password between devices sometimes. Happens maybe three or four times a year, big f'ing deal.

There's absolutely no reason to add more attack surface by using a password manager.

"Prime" can be used both as an adjective and as a noun. For example, "5 is prime" and "5 is a prime" are both correct.
I'd love to hear if anyone has suggestions with an additional feature:

- No internet access / sign up / data syncing to the cloud is required (ideally it wouldn't exist at all). The ideal would be connecting the device directly to a computer via USB or bluetooth and pulling the data / logs off of it directly.

Combined with open data access / reverse engineering this would be very powerful. Basically I want a band where it is impossible for anyone besides me to get access to my data (without physically stealing the band or hacking my computer).
I'm curious, is 220V (or 230V) more than twice as fast/twice as good as 110V? The discussion here makes it sound like it. All I know is that you'll need higher amperage with lower voltage, but it can compensate proportionally. I guess heat losses and other problems are significant, if it's a problem at 110V?
Parallel shipping of the various versions of the proprietary stack is definitely more tedious than it should be, but the PCI IDs that they support are declared in the module metadata and only the appropriate version will be bound to the hardware by the kernel. The scenarios where you'll have trouble are where an in-kernel driver has bound before the proprietary one (eg, nouveau) and potentially left the card in a state the proprietary driver isn't expecting. But the answer there is not to simultaneously ship both the free and the proprietary stacks.

> The company analyzed the real-world winter driving range of thousands of electric vehicles and found the Tesla Model Y retained most of its EPA-rated range in winter.

This Axios article is from March, 2022 and has incorrect data. In particular it's wrong about the Tesla results.

The Axios chart claims the Model Y achieves 97% of its EPA range in 70°F and 98% of its EPA range in 20-30°F. They're claiming the Model Y does better in cold weather.

Here is updated data from Recurrent as of December 2022:

https://www.recurrentauto.com/research/winter-ev-range-loss

What's new in the updated data is that Recurrent has included verified real world winter range tests. Previously they were relying on dashboard data and Teslas don't give you good information. Recurrent says, "As evidenced below, it appears in the Model 3 dashboard data that there is almost no change in available range in cold or hot conditions."

But now, "New to 2022, we have added observed, real-world range fluctuations to our Tesla data. The dotted line below shows the range as observed from on-board devices and energy usage. This shows a more expected decrease in winter range, although Tesla's thermal management is still great at controlling cold weather range loss."

What Recurrent now says for the Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD is:

> Observed Range at 20-30F: 49% of Original EPA Range

> Observed Range at 70F: 64% of Original EPA Range

So even at 70°F the Model Y only attains 64% of its rated EPA range in their data.

Tesla inflates their EPA numbers. You always need to do real world testing.
UX of AI
Easiest: Find a random industry. You'll see job openings for programmers. You'll probably be wildly overqualified. Get a job there. Make sure it's a job where you can keep your head up and learn to industry (and not be isolated in a cubicle).

Harder: Nerd out on something not computer science. Take classes in oddball topics. Go to industry conferences. Network and hang out in online forums.

I once hopped on a plane and went to a conference in a 90% unrelated industry that I had taken an interest in. Even gave a workshop there -- as an outsider looking in, around a relevant idea. Expensive, but I learned a ton and came out with a powerful network.

Have fun with it!
This has nothing to do with expectations - it's an inquiry into why something is worse now, without a clear justification.

I've wondered if monetization of libel and slander lawsuits could be a business for social media firms. Provide tools and legal support for users who want to sue other users.
In their defense, the treat model was way different back when they were using local vaults; I suspect the old "cloud storage" model they used placed each individual user who chose to sync opvault to the cloud at some risk, but short of Dropbox or OneDrive themselves getting popped, the cloud attack against 1P vaults was very limited

It doesn't escape me that their threat model could still be that, if they'd relent the cloud-only licensing choice
True, but the way their populations are managed now isn’t ecologically sustainable.

The reason Uber/Lyft/Taxis in general make traffic worse is because taxis have to travel X miles between dropping off a passenger to picking up another passenger. It's the form of transportation that makes the least efficient use of limited roadways.

They do reduce parking requirements, though.
Adobe couldn’t figure out how to monetize Flash, other than selling the Flash authoring tool to Flash designers, a dying breed, for a few hundred bucks or bundled in Adobe’s Creative Suite. Adobe tried selling Flash video DRM, which got undercut by Google Widevine, and selling licenses to unlock Flash opcodes for advanced 3D and C++ cross compilation, which was undercut by web technologies like WebAssembly.

Also, I think Flash was more expensive to maintain than Adobe’s other design applications because the Flash Player needed constant security patches. Adobe was usually happy to milk cash cow products, such as Director and Shockwave, transferring maintenance to remote teams in India.
I have no reason to think so. Imo, we lucked out on timing, higher temperatures, no precipitation and shorter duration. As far as I know, operators can still just pay some ridiculously small fine for not being ready.

Suggestion: Given that you live in Ukraine I assume English isn't your first language, but but find someone who's a native speaker (or as good) and have them proofread your website. If you can't find anybody, at least run it through a software spell/grammar checker.

I spotted two typos about 15 seconds in ("so peoples gets mobility" and "imediatelly") and that will put people off a lot because it makes the project feel unprofessional and low effort.
Well, duh. But using "butbutbut the wackos on the other side do bad things too!" as a tool to neuter the conversation is a cop-out at best.
It’s not inflation that’s the problem, it’s interest rates (or swap rates).

Raising interest rates are a great way to combat demand driven inflation (everyone borrows money to buy a set amount of goods/services so prices increase).

It’s not a good way to deal with supply driven inflation in essential goods (say prices go up because a harvest fails).

But it needs to happen to ensure the currency doesn’t fall relative to other currencies thus making imports more expensive.

TikTok has a very dark side that you see from time to time. The amount of bullying, accusations, and falsehoods being spread is insane. But then again that’s social media for you. These just have a more personal feel given a face is in front of them instead of an avatar/username.
Sorry, I don't understand. One (mathematical) definition of "prime" is an adjective [0]. This is why we can say things like "5 is a prime number". "number" is a noun, "prime" is the adjective.

I don’t right now in my detached garage (though I buried conduits during recent landscaping to permit me to pull them later). Right now, I have a 120V, 15A circuit out there that powers everything.

Regardless, my cheap LEAF turned 8 just a bit ago and I’ve driven it in New England year-round for 8 years without issue, even with only level 1 charging at home. It’s fine for an around-town daily driver (which is what the LEAF is well-matched to).
At the same amperage, it's exactly twice as good, but if you're going to get a 220V outlet installed, you're also going to get a higher amperage circuit installed at the same time, so you can charge at 220V/50A instead of 110V/12A, which is 8x faster.
This was a much, much, much shorter cold spell than 2 years ago. It was below freezing for less than 24 hours in Houston. If it stayed below freezing for 3-5 days straight again, we'd be in an equally terrible situation as 2 years ago.
(Also, go and read "Hogfather", by Terry Pratchett. As I seem to remember Yudkowsky said, though presumably in much better wording, Terry Pratchett's death is all the reason you could need to resolve to end death forever. Hogfather, in particular, I think is one of his crowning works and I sometimes choke up a bit just thinking about the book.)

I switched to NixOS two years ago , and have installed it on about 6 personal machines, both latpops and desktops.

I don't bother with building a custom ISO.

The way I do it:

* Boot with the default ISO

* Format the disk

* Git clone my dotfiles repo with all the configs

* Generate the hardware config and extend my flake.nix with the new machine.

* Install with my dotfiles config

* Reboot (aka profit!)

I can complete the whole process in about 10 minutes (on a fast CPU and with a good network).

Customizing the config up front, building the custom ISO , and writing it to a USB stick takes up way more time than just doing the above.
Thank you and merry Christmas to all of you
