The regulatory maze behind health tech vaporware
I’m not convinced that’ll bring about any significant change. Any power savings from switching to a RISC from x86 is coming from simplifying the instruction decoder, which seems to be about 15-20% if we compare the Ampere Altra to a comparable AMD chip. That’s not an order of magnitude.

On the other hand, on the order of 80% of a chip’s power is spent on OOO execution. If you want the order of magnitude improvement in power efficiency, you need to dump superscalar/OOO in favor of smart compilers and VLIW. Cheap DSPs have been doing it for years, but compilers aren’t good enough yet for general purpose processing.
This is to prepare businesses for when apple rolls out ads within maps right?

Cynical me assumes most “business oriented” apple features today are in prep for their ramp-up of ads across the OS. You couldn’t sell a Maps ad that pointed to (1)only a website and took you out of maps or (2) the default auto-generated page from yelp.

Maybe we can pull some accounting tricks to get 'health care' off employer books in the near future?

I don't know Swift too well but my impression is that the support on Linux within the Foundation is not complete. (Also, is Foundation the same thing as what one might normally term a standard library? I can't tell.)

Does this change imply better (eventual) support on non-Darwin systems? Or maybe I've misread it and the change is unrelated.
> Are you trying to say that the risk to lose electricity is bigger than the risk to lose the other heat sources?

In many places electricity is transitioned via above ground lines. Natural gas is via buried pipes. The above ground lines have far more issues due to natural events (like storms or tree branches falling).

In addition to this, electricity already hit peak loads in some areas due to other things drawing on it.

Electricity is more likely to have outages than natural gas.
This was probably very org/team dependant.

This announcement will at least make it more fair going forward to teams that sticked to the rules and did report the days off. The teams that didn't report still get an advantage in a larger payout though.
The Fair Tax would increase inequality in the USA by shifting the burden of tax payment onto the poorest.

The rich spend between 1 and 10% of their income on goods and services, whereas the poor spend upwards of 100% of their income, and even more by going into debt to cover life expenses.

All this tax would do is ensure that the wealth of the rich remains locked up and out of circulation forever, multiplying tax free in hedge funds (basically sucking even more money out of the economy), while the poor pay for everything.
Heard from a friend that they'll now need GM+ level approval for a 4 week vacation :).

Overall, this seems like a net negative for employees; add a level of stress / guilt to what used to be a simple use of earned / accrued benefits (not to mention loss of a differentiator for seniority - I'd heard you got more PTO with more years at the company).
How to slow down scientific progress

I mean, what do you think most people are using 3D printers to make?
This is encouraging, as long as they can successfully implement it. Layoffs have always felt to me like a "cut off your arm to lose weight" solution. Yes the number on the scale went down and you hit your goal, but are you really better off in the long term? Worse because so many companies do indiscriminate layoffs and take on huge costs for doing so, and then just open all these positions back up in a few months.
Our operations team didn’t have visibility because some other operations team told us not to worry our pretty little heads about it. You know how you can tell when someone is so mad that they stop talking? Two of our people hit that level. That was not a comfortable room to be in.

This experience ended up being the beginning of the end for the anti-cloud element at the company. Which is too bad because I like having people who understand the physics of our architecture. Saves me from doing all sorts of stupid things myself.
No one in this thread has said they're a miracle drug so I'm not sure why you're bringing that up.

But no, they're not.
Anything with eggs you can really tell the difference because you can see the edges start to cook just as soon as you put it on.
Their motivation is personal and not rational. Some employees emotionally identify their workplace as their home, and their bosses like parents, so they do what they might do if someone stole from their home. Other workers incorrectly believe they will be rewarded for stopping a theft. Other workers just need an outlet where it’s socially acceptable for them to engage in greater-than-usual controlled violence against another person. Other workers just via personal morals feel that all theft should be stopped regardless of the rules/rewards. Other workers panic and don’t know what they should do in the case of shoplifting and then react chaotically/instinctually.

The cost to the company of a single employee injury or death sustained while stopping a shoplifter is probably equivalent to hundreds of single-person personal thefts. Even if there’s never any workers l-comp-esque payouts, the hours of administrative time spent reviewing and investigating the incident probably costs more than a dozen thefts.
With proper namespaces you can import stuff so you don't have to prefix with the namespace every time.
Thank you. My panels are good.

Do you have experience with an ND?
Somewhat off topic, does someone know how bing might integrate chat gpt into search. Is it to understand the prompt and filter results. Taking the question and summarizing it to search the index. Is it to summarize all the documents into an index and search that. Or to just be like chat gpt is now and use it to generate new results from it's knowledge base? I'm trying to connect the dots between a generative form like these are and how it would influence search in the future. Or is the lucene style index search on it's way out in a generative world?

How well are Linux and the BSDs supported?
I think there was actually a harvard business review study or something that proved this accurate. It saves the corporation money, and actually makes people take less time off.

Either because the 'forcing mechanism of use it or lose it' is gone OR the social pressure like you mentioned.
The creator of Make actually apologized for it, as far as I have read.

I'm very happy with Make, though I have to agree, the syntax could be better. I don't mind using tabs, but why are spaces not OK as well? It would also be good to be able to not have to break long lines or multiline things with backslashes all the time. Yes you can set that oneshell thingy, but that is inconvenient in other ways, because it is for the whole file instead of a single command or a single target.

So it could be better, definitely, but it does the job of doing DAGs well and it is available on most systems, so I don't have to add some huge tree of dependencies just to run tasks.
It really is a great material. I've replaced a few broken by equipment pushing 100 years old on a farm in Illinois.

We had 4x4s in the shop but would still replace them with Osage orange limbs. Logic was even though it was more work to find a new limb, it was less work in that long run.

Makes absolutely excellent seasoned cord word as well.
This depends entirely on their code cycle.

Those that keep up actually don't have much issue as it's gradual.

Current breakdown is:

25 states - 2020+ NEC

17 states - 2017 NEC

2 states - 2014 NEC

2 states - 2008 NEC

8 states - Very local

Some of them take 5+ years to update the NEC. Virginia adopted the 2017 NEC in late 2021.

When that happens, upgrades can be costly.

Though most major changes around AFCI/GFCI usage, pipe types, etc to NEC happened in the 2014/2017 code cycle.

So there were definitely some code cycles that were "extra bad" in this sense.
But is it obviously false for the majority of software engineers in the USA, or even in the world? It is true for WA, CA, and NY. It is truer in Europe.
This would be slightly plausible if this practice started in 2010, but it didn't, so it isn't.

If you actually look at x86 microcode much, you start to realize that the backend is actually very risc-like. The distinction between cisc and risc to me is more of a frontend instruction selection one.

Always keep your models slim. Don't stuff template ...course_has_finished(course) is not much longer than course.has_finished()

I disagree with this. When trouble shooting or expanding code it is super convenient to import a model and have all of your methods on auto complete. Especially when you need the same functionality in a view, a cron job, a celery task, and an DRF end point.

If you want to keep it clean you can put all your methods in a mixin class and import it from another file.

Also be wary of the formerly South, now built-in migrations stuff.

Things are much better than they were in South. But yes be careful, rule of thumb is always move forward.

Don't use class-based views

Please. For the love of God, always use class based views for almost everything. Almost everything you need is a variant of one of the built in class based views, don't make me read your copy/pasted reimplementation of it.
The example you gave is of a wrong way to write Terraform; you should be able to query the cloud API using using data sources. In your case (getting a VNet) that would be this: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/la...

In case you need to get the metadata of a resource group you can use this: https://registry.terraform.io/providers/hashicorp/azurerm/la...

I am a very happy Terraform user, here are the benefits for me:

* Very simple workflow that helps prevent unintended consequences - first you write your code, generate a plan, inspect it carefully and only then apply. It is easy to work in a team setting where you can have one person write modules and others supply variables to them.

* I personally don't want to burden myself with Azure Resource Manager, CloudFormation or any other vendor specific IAC tool.

* I don't like other people's bash; there are tools like shell check, but usually a larger infra codebase becomes an awful ad-hoc mess of ENV variables and clever hacks. And infrastructure code is nasty to test and refactor.

Try to keep it simple as possible; anytime you are fighting Terraform it usually means there is a much simpler way to do it. And if there is inherent complexity it could be the wrong thing to do.

In case you need very dynamic behaviour (basically a part of an application) I advise the following - put in terraform the things that are not likely to change often or where the cost of breakage is higher - your virtual networks, DNS configuration, Load Balancers, VPNs, Autoscaling groups, important alerts, etc. Manage more ephemeral workloads in a more general purpose language if there is no straightforward way to do it in the official APIs. I am also very happy user of the AWS CLI in some cases + the cognitect aws libraries for Clojure. However if you need to do something very dynamic it is also likely to be wrong.
I don't think all Haswell chips support 4k H.264. That's one downside of hardware decoders: they have limits on what they support. I suspect the decoder is actually falling back to a software implementation to handle the bitstream since the hardware can't.

For example: https://www.avsforum.com/threads/no-hardware-4k-h264-decode-...
It's already available for GOG. You can get it on Steam, Itch, or on our website. All versions are DRM free.

Where else do SMS remain common?

At least here in Europe they've been relegated to automatic communications, like receiving 2-factor codes. No one uses them for messaging. I think the app of choice is different per country, but I haven't met any non American that's still used to SMS.
The series of dividing an integer over 7 are nice.
I'm not sure what US driver education has to do with it, or on what basis you consider it "woeful".

But I've driven in both the US and Europe, and while a lot of the European signs are easy to figure out, a lot of them seem not only non-intuitive but also inconsistent, as well as difficult to read.

For example, "no stopping" is a red circle with a blue background and an X, while "no parking" is the same red circle with the same blue background and a slash, or half the X. Not only is all of this totally arbitrary, but there's almost zero contrast between the red and blue, so the opposite of being fast to recognize, or pleasant.

And then a slash in some cases means "end of" (end of no passing zone) but in other cases it means "no" (no left turn). So it essentially means both "allowed" and "not allowed", but I guess it's based on the color or orientation or something of the slash, or multiple thin slashes vs one big thick one?

I find myself very much preferring the help of "wordiness" in this case. The top priority while driving is clarity in messaging, not economy of space. What the US does, which is actually to combine symbols in many cases with text, gives both quick recognition and unambiguous information.
Yeah only the primary server seems to be on blocklists. The malware uses 3 DNS addresses, all on Linode.

Not that it matters, as the malware uses 8.8.8.8 if it doesn't like the DNS reply -- Then it tries a DNS server on port 5353!
It was time to stop (SMS) texting around about 2008. SMS is Lindy.

I know what 10W feels like because the Jetson Nano draws that, and Raspberry 4 is 7W with GPU+4 cores saturated.

You will need a heatsink on the Visionfive if the GPU does what I hope it does.

The Raspberry 4 GPU is only 1W vs. 5W on the Jetson Nano!

I'm hoping for a 2-3W GPU on the Visionfive and then you'll need a heatsink for MMO gameplay no question about it.

Longevity is now crucial as hardware peaks, heat kills electronics slowly but oh so surely!

Edit: Do you have a URL for those 3.xW and 4.4W claims... Then I think we wont see 100+ but cache can still be larger so you can have 100 at 1080p and that is enough for mainsteam adoption and replacing all other computers (Switch, PS4, XBOX, phones and pads etc.)!

The future belong to those that compile!

This is always worrisome for me. They used to do unlimited vacation to get PTO off the books now it seems like it is even a worse deal. They get the PTO off but you can't take time off unless your manager okays it. It gives management all the power and puts you totally at the mercy of a bad boss.

I don't like it when anything that is formally defined moves to something informally defined it usually is to obfuscate the fact someone is now getting screwed.
I have been involved (from a Senior management perspective) in one significant layoff that affected US and UK employees. How we did it in that case is we took legal advice about what was the minimum requirement, and then leveled-up/adjusted from there to try to be as generous as we could. Layoffs are certainly possible even within the framework of EU labour law, but employees have more rights and depending on how big you are there may be additional requirements (eg in large companies in continental Europe I believe labour representatives have to be involved in the planning of the layoff etc).

The exact specifics of the deal in our case were a little different for US and UK folks because of things like how healthcare works in the US being so completely awful so you have to figure out things like COBRA which would just not be a thing in Europe. That forced us to adjust things to make it equitable/equivalent for both US and UK folks, but we really tried our best to be fair to everyone.

While the base requirements are much higher in the UK/Europe than in the US if you have teams in both places, you should do whatever you can to offer broadly the same deal to both teams. Besides your basic duty as a human to be fair to people, note that your remaining employees will judge you based on how you treated their departing colleagues.
Official modding support is coming as the second major post launch update.

Mac version isn't supported because I got tired of Apple constantly breaking things and making them way more difficult, while still having the worst documentation on the planet. I don't have it in me anymore to chase that.

But, if anyone else wants to fix things up, the engine and game are OSS.
So use SMS only when in a catastrophic situation?
My guess is a lot of it is "Credit Score By Proxy": you could pay one of the US' three Credit Score Bureaus directly, all of whom charge for the service about as much as they think they can get away with when you ask for a contract and all of whom have reasons not to trust direct relationships with them. Or you could check that the person has a credit card with any limit above $0 implying some bank is already subscribed to the credit reports on you and still chooses to be in a relationship with you.
El Niño and La Niña, and the Weather
Unlimited PTO is great when the culture supports it. In the past few jobs I have worked at it has been great, but it is biased because I have worked as an executive at these companies.

What it means to me:
- Teams and expectations are oriented such that randomly needing to do things during the day is fine

- You don't ask to take PTO. You inform people when you will be unavailable. With some notice. But there's no approval process.

I haven't seen people abuse this; it's not like people take 8 weeks off randomly in the middle of a release. I guess they could.
4.4 W is the figure given for the SoC on full load.

They also give a lower figure that's 3.x W for full load with the GPU off.

It won't need a heatsink, because with its power draw it won't get above 70C even on full load, while the chip is built for industrial temperature range in operation.
My wife is at one of these places that went from 4 weeks to 'discretionary', and her manager needs to approve all of it.

This was three years ago. She finds it very easy to get the first two weeks scheduled, and generally doesn't get a full third week approved.

It sucks.

Maybe we're entitled. (I know we are entitled, it's ok) But I think our time off is one of the biggest reasons to work at these places.

I have 4 weeks off, and so I have to find something to do on my own for a week and a half and although that sounds like a huge positive experience, I'd rather hang out with my wife than be solo.
This new startup has a different model:

- Drivers are full-time employees, not contractors. They don't care about waiting or not showing up for short/long rides - they get paid either way.

- Currently, you can only schedule rides in advance. Rides are available in 15 minute intervals. Doesn't work for a lot of situations but is perfect for going to the airport - the drivers always show up on time and will happily wait (for a small per minute fee) as long as necessary. WAAAAY less hassle than booking an Uber.

- All vehicles are owned by the startup itself.

It's essentially a taxi company with electric cabs and a good app.
The information you provided is pretty vague, what is your new degree in? What field are the interviews in? Are these aligned?

Sounds like you are just having the classic I am getting old and running out of time to do all the great things I thought I would do, everyone goes through this. I doubt the feeling ever really fades but don't let it get the best of you.

You need to reset your expectations / ground yourself to your situation, you need to do some real goal setting short and long term planning.

Sounds like your mostly worried about "money" and there is no quick ways to make money. But there are lots of ways to make good money, I get the sense that is why you mentioned programming because it can be a lucrative career. But to be honest its not for everyone and I don't agree with the "everyone can be a programmer" sentiment. You are already well educated in other fields I would recommend exhausting those options before jumping ship.

Of course I know nearly nothing about you so take my opinions with a grain of salt.

What I have seen result in the most career growth is changing jobs often, never stay put. And continuous education with new problems to solve. Your job should be engaging (not 100% of the time but like a wave)
I've been asked on two job applications lately whether or not I'm "asexual". I'm not, but I'm appalled to be asked this in a professional setting. If I was, I'd also be appalled, if not seriously distraught.

I immediately dropped the applications. Perhaps screening out people like me was the real goal to begin with, and maybe it's a win-win after all.

All that steam requires is a native executable to launch, and that you load their steamworks library and initialise it, which should be one or two FFI calls.
It is at least much better than having tasks and their dependencies merely specified as plain strings in a package.json file, as unstructured data, out of which the tool (npm) does not have any knowledge about dependencies and simply runs all strings as commands. This is done by countless web projects and it is embarrassing. I would rather have a package.json script that calls Make, than define my steps in the package.json itself.
