Video playback is low power primarily because GPUs (even embedded ones) have dedicated hardware for video decoding. Video chat requires also encoding video, which not all gpus provide hardware for. CPU encoding video is a very energy intensive task especially as the resolution increases.

After being a curmudgeon from 30 to 40 years old, I've figured it's not good for me so I started changing things around and I like my life and career more now.

Don't get me wrong, insufferable people still exist! But I no longer judge an entire community by them.
If minority groups are "in charge", why is most of the wealth, corporate power and political power in the hands of majority groups?

Obviously cultural norms change over time, and many ideas that were once fringe are now mainstream. But that doesn't mean that the majority white, straight, Christian(ish) majority in America doesn't still wield most of the power.
At the same time, it’s not too early. The industry’s been proven.
Major companies like Meta, Apple, and Google have poured a lot of
money into validating the space.

One word about this: VRML. In the first VR hype-wave, a breathtaking amount of money from "major companies" was plowed into a dead-end technology because "VR is the FUTURE, bro!" Meta set $10b on fire last year trying to make VR happen, and it's still having to force the devs of the thing to use it themselves.

I'm not saying don't learn the stuff - there's lots of fun to be had there - but you'll be happier if you're learning it to build something in particular, not just trying to find an angle or get on the "next big thing".

> Set her password to qwerty1

I feel like this may break the rule about not interrupting her daily life.

Since the other easy password documented in the article wasn't her current one, it is at least possible that she had chosen a more difficult password as her current one. Downgrading from her current password back to the old easy one makes her vulnerable to other attackers-- especially if she did not quickly reset it to something other than qwerty1.

If it sounds like I'm nitpicking, just imagine that the game was "try to hack my old bitcoin and send it around and back." The moment the hacker sends to the "qwerty1" address it's going to get immediately eaten by some automated script by one of a thousand other hackers.
> Do an image search for the word “business” or “manager”, and what comes back? Nothing that remotely resembles business or managers.

I would first have to know what my manager does before I could understand if there's resemblance.

Joking aside, this article would've been a hit in the between time of IRC and Slack. Before then I only knew people by their handle or avatars. While I get the author's dislike for headshots, they have been a social norm for what feels like more than a decade now.

Very rarely are people forced into these things. Executives and those who want to get ahead know that a high quality headshot is a differentiating factor. A leader who has an approachable headshot might rate better than a default avatar. Although the latter could be the better overall leader.

Many things in my career took off after I focused on my personal brand including these cursed headshots. I wouldn't discount it like the author tries to do.
Thanks for the tips. As you can maybe tell, I'm pretty new to UI dev. A lot of those divs are using fixed pixel sizes calculated by hand in React because I lost my patience with CSS, but yeah I'll put the (?) page into a flexbox.

Article says this is not the case

> [Barclays] will not, however, take over Tech Nation’s role administering the UK’s global talent visa. Tech Nation has notified the UK’s Home Office that its visa scheme will stop — though it will continue until then.

Kind of weird that Tech Nation is notifying the government that a visa program will stop. Does Home Office intend for another org to take over the role of administering tech applicants for the Extraordinary/Global Talent visa?

> You're forgetting the cost of funding students, but also there are costs in securing prestige for your institution.

But why does he need students to do his own research?

I made a similar calculation and went into industry. I am now at the point where I could self-fund an indefinite post-doc (with benefits) at the risk-free rate of return. By the time I would be going up for Full Professor, I'll be able to self-fund an equivalent salary -- again, at the risk-free rate. And I don't have to worry about the inevitable layoffs coming to higher-ed, tenure be damned. And I can do my Science from a ski slope or a beach instead of from some random rural town.

If you want to do Science, just spend 1-2 decades in industry and save your money. If you want to lead "The $LASTNAME Lab" at "Famous University" where you have "X PhD students" and "Y post-docs", then you're going to pay for the silly prestige game by giving up actually doing Science for the rest of your life.

The situation may be different for people who need wet labs, but in Math and CS here's just no reason to bust your ass to get tenure. Just bust your ass in industry instead. You'll be working for The Man instead of doing what you really want either way, I promise, and honestly industry often has more interesting problems than whatever happens to be of interest to whichever person was willing to live in an expensive boring place on a small salary while shoving their ideas into the Heilmeier Catechism.

I think IQ is more about ability to deal with novel problems, thinking in abstract terms and making complex connections between topics.

The problem with "speed of learning" is that the result is not defined here. What is the result of learning? Is it being able to recite the material back? Is it being able to use it in real world?

I would expect that high IQ will help with learning complex material and may potentially be a detriment when learning stuff that requires a lot of rote memorisation. I know it is a detriment for me... my mind is just unable to stick to a monotonous task of remembering things and will naturally get distracted with anything more rewarding intellectually.

Which is to say that learning by rote memorisation isn't very interesting to me and this makes me inefficient at doing it. I am much more likely to learn facts when in context of solving problems that are interesting to me.

> There's a vanishingly small number of applications where it's really going to make a difference

Developers (and especially deadline-conscious managers) keep saying this, but their web sites keep slowing down my computer to a crawl. As a consumer, I really wish that development teams paid at least some attention to performance.

Impressive! Yeah, I think this is the natural evolution. Chat apps were the hot thing after social networks, and things are appearing in the middle. Though you're going for ambitious security.
There are multiple types of SEPA payments, I think you're talking about SEPA Credit Transfer (essentially making the bank transfer yourself).

On the other hand, for SEPA Direct Debit, not only is the interface quite reasonable (you enter your IBAN and confirm a mandate), but consumer protection is very high. You can chargeback no questions asked for 8 weeks, it will be immediately accepted and the merchant can't do anything about it. And as a customer, besides the 8 weeks no questions asked policy, you have 13 months to ask for a refund of an unauthorised transaction, with supporting evidence. In practice, the bank will always accept such a request too.
You obviously didn't read my comment. I prefer Joy of Cooking to Betty Crocker manuals, but both are written by teams of culinary professionals.

Edit: in regard to your rambling point about changes in food production and popularity of dishes falling out of style, my 2006 edition of Joy of Cooking has 8 recipes for aspics and savory mousses (like lobster). The recipe for turtle soup calls for 1 pound of canned or thawed turtle meat cut into 1/2 inch chunks. Please stop invalidating others' exploration into topics you speak so authoritatively of from a position of ignorance.

Can you help me corroborate your theory of historically accurate chili? I can not find any document supporting your "thousands of years" claim.

It not hard to believe that native people dumped some of the earth's best vegetables into a pot and let them steep, but, I can not find _any_ support for your claim.

I genuinely hope you enjoy your historically-accurate, bean-laden chili, but now I am suspicious; I know that LLMs can not really enjoy the richness in any chili.
The whole argument is stupid on both sides.

There is no "mainstream" culture anymore to counter. Everyone is living in their own little cultural bubble that they believe to be a counterculture to a non-existent mainstream culture.

The hysterical thing is the OP said what they said exactly because everyone knows someone would respond with your exact rhetorical devices like an automaton or a bot.
I think it refers to the specific model of pandemic outdoor dining: eat in a dirty, rat infested plywood shack.

This. Not to deny that some people are just smarter, a lot of "innate talent" has somethings going for it - early exposure, initial success and some sort of mentoring. This tends to make people passionate towards the thing - they're chasing the domaine from the success. Do it enough, they'll get better than most peers.
It's typical "buy and shut down competition"...

This is like saying being "anti-murder" is countercultural because murders still happen.

Just because something occurs does not mean there is no mainstream opposition.

I would go further and say that the most basic elements of the BLM were never countercultural.

opposition to excessive police force has been mainstream since the 70s-80s.

The only part of BLM that is actually controversial and countercultural is the idea of abolishing the police. As a result, the majority of BLM supporters reject this aspect.
the title is not strictly true is it?

That just tells me that you follow a lot of right-wing sources. That's not a popular feminist position but it's exactly how the right-wing characterizes it to avoid honest engagement with, for example, the feminists who've written thoughtfully and compassionately about how traditional gender roles negatively impact men. The suicide rates you mention, for example, are commonly attributed to the intersection of economic declines for traditional working-class jobs and the traditional belief that men are supposed to be the family breadwinner, which implicitly tells men that if they're not married with a reasonably high income they're failures.
You're right. There is some cognitive bias, when I was a junior, I didn't lean on useMemo in the way I see today's juniors using it. The mis-applications revealed that some engineers don't totally get the paradigm, and that is a weakness. Most seem to get, at a high level, that "fn(data) = view" but then caught up of the weeds of unnecessary memo'ing to paper over performance issues.
I mentioned isomorphism in reference to representation, which was kinda the point.

And, not to belabour the point, but a function F that has an isomorphism to the real numbers means that F does indeed encode all numbers (and, when defined as a set, exactly contains a copy of each). That's literally the point of isomorphism. To demonstrate simply, the integers have an isomorphism to the natural numbers: you count them in an alternating pattern. That's an isomorphism between them (and it need not be relation preserving). So, with that, you can interpret all integers as natural numbers; we say they're the same up to their isomorphism. Isomorphisms also exist for the real numbers with other structures, via bijective maps, and so forth.

I'm not going to respond to the other stuff since it's nothing to do with what I said or responded to (even when it was a misinterpretation).

True, and it's not that having a bunch of short-term engagements is automatically a bad thing. But it's a thing that requires explanation, because it can speak to fit.

Some people are only really good for a couple of years at a position. After that, they get bored and move on. If you need to fill a position with someone who will last longer than that, seeing a bunch of 1-2 year engagements on your resume is a strong hint that you might not be a good match for the needs of the position.

If you don't care so much about longevity, then it may be a non-issue, or even a positive thing.

No, but you would be discriminated against. Announcing you are religious would be the quickest way to be sidelined on projects and slowly forced out of the company. Announcing that your are LGBTQ is the quickest way to advance in the company and receive accolades. And this is a Fortune 100 company that nearly everyone on the planet has heard of. Where I live, LGBTQ is very much the mainstream and the most acceptable lifestyle.

My first software job was by far the worst. I worked directly under the CTO, who was a huge micromanager. The code I was working on was akin to what we'd call now micro services. Except each "service" was a single, 5,000+ line functional PHP script. There were no common libraries, but plenty of duplicated code. It was myself, another person who wasn't a developer but was working as one, and the CTO who knew just enough to be dangerous.

I would be called into the CTOs office (next door to the shared office 3 of us were in) multiple times a day by him just yelling our names. We were expected to drop whatever we were working on and go in to answer whatever question happened to pop into his head at that second.

Often applications would break and the CTO would want to know why, only to find that the local copies of the code on my and my co-workers machines didn't match what was on the server. Which means the CTO changed it, but refused to admit they changed anything, claiming it must have changed itself. When me and my co-worker suggested adding version control to the code, the CTO immediately shut it down.

These things would happen routinely for the 2 years I worked there. And for an extra kick in the pants, the dress code was shirt and tie and we would be pulled aside and talked at if a shirt came untucked.
Does it matter? How many person do you know around your circle, uses netlify or gatsby? It sounds like a cdn business to me
Please don’t take this the wrong way, but that is like saying that AWS EC2 is “just a wrapper” of Xen, or that AWS RDS for PostgreSQL is “just a wrapper” of PostgreSQL. There is an entire business around those with value add/sales/support/marketing as well as a strategy for growth.
Oh, huh, yeah. That sounds plausible.

I never liked the ] in Interlisp (so never used it myself) nor alternative syntax systems like LOOP (also avoided it).

I don’t understand the obsession some people have with the parentheses. They basically fade into the background and when you do look at them it’s because they are informative. They are no more cognitively burdensome than the space bar.
