The BIOSRenamer.exe tool included with ASUS BIOSes is only to be run if you need to use USB Flashback feature (USB Flashback expects a certain filename).

I just flashed the BIOS today on my ASUS board by simply unzipping and copying the file to the USB stick, then selecting the ROG-CROSSHAIR-VIII-HERO-ASUS-4402.CAP in EZ Update from the BIOS menu. All went well as usual.

Perhaps with the B650 board EZ Update doesn't like reading a BIOS file with the USB Flashback name?

If you use io_uring to implement the Promise API, do you call it iou_ring?
Are they really that pitiful compared to the global average? I think that in the English-speaking tech sphere we are just too inclined to compare to the US. But compared to the rest of the world, and outside of a few small low-tax hubs (Singapore, UAE, etc), they're quite in line with the rest of the job market.

(I do think we're getting fleeced in absolute terms, but that's nothing specific to the tech industry)
Nodebox is built on Python (Nodebox1 = Python on Mac, Nodebox 3 = Jython) - there are new Nodeboxes on other tech.

Shoebot is not dead (even if it is getting a bit old), currently working on a new release to sort out a bunch of the tech debt.

https://github.com/shoebot/shoebot

For those into Nodebox1, on the Mac, Karsten's fork is active.

https://github.com/karstenw/nodebox-pyobjc

Plot device is a fork that went in a different direction

https://github.com/plotdevice/plotdevice

EDIT: I should also mention drawbot, the progenitor for all of these is pretty alive these days using a Skia backend

Exactly the problem that Android has compared to iOS. There isn't a "wide range of iOS-based systems" that are different enough that you invent your own way of doing things.

Allows for greater control over your own expression, while having to support many possible platforms.
I’ve never seen a Vectrex, but having seen other vector displays on old arcade machines, it’s truly mind blowing.

The warm glow of those smooth beams has no modern equivalent in consumer hardware. Despite technically being old technology, and some machines being over 4 decades old, it can still blow young minds seeing a way of rendering so different from what we accept as the norm today and how it’s in many aspects even more advanced than modern screens.

Knowing it’s something that’s gradually being lost with time is pretty sad. Previous human technology advancements would often be lost in a hole and still be recognizable for what they were centuries later when they were dug up. It’s kind of strange that the tech we make since the computer revolution basically dies along with their creators and maintainers and basically just turn into future door stoppers.
They are quite up to date with UNIX, what they aren't is GNU clones.
Dutch media is terrible and refuses to name the actual compounds involved (NOx and NH3) because that would require them to distinguish between the different sources of this pollution. So they've just been calling it "nitrogen" and so you get people repeating the assertion that there are dangerous levels of "nitrogen" in the air.
> COL difference is certainly not proportional to salary difference.

No, sometimes the COL is much cheaper than the salary discrepancy. Sometimes it’s worse.

Which is precisely why COL is absolutely vital when making any comparisons.

If the neurons that are weak are the ones for processing external signals and having them override internal signals is the goal, maybe it’s as simple as a cold shower every day.
I think Gnumeric has supported this for years.

https://help.gnome.org/users/gnumeric/stable/sect-extending-...

I recall doing a noise model of a transimpedance amp in Gnumeric where I called out to Python/Numpy to do integration of 1/f noise based on parameters from a datasheet. That was at least 10 years ago. What's the difference between this Gnumeric feature and Neptyne?
I love the faux spreadsheet presentation of this guide.
Indirectly related to this is this beautiful paper which looks at what motivates people to continue playing versus quitting Chess:
https://www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pnas.1706530115#:~:text=We%....

> We propose that one’s personal best, or past peak performance, acts as a reference point by inducing effort when current performance would otherwise fall short. Analyzing a massive dataset of online chess games, we find that players exert effort to set new personal best ratings and quit once they have done so.

There is no direct way of measuring the "Personal Best" in all areas of life (unlike Chess), but I believe that one can set benchmarks for oneself without articulating it: be it writing blog posts, making music, creating an OSS project, etc.

Then beating one's own benchmark, even just once, dulls the desire to continue putting in effort. So I can imagine a very similar blog post with the title:

> "I don't like making things which beat my personal best benchmark over and over again."
Why violence. He just announced he's going to pick up his property that got misplaced. Gun is just for his protection. Nothing out of ordinary here.
Indeed, the dread of having to park somewhere, especially street parking, or in some hideous paid parking lot or scary parking deck, was always a huge turn-off of driving places. It's so much nicer to be able to take public transit and not have to worry about that.
Depends on what you compare, but with modern cryptography instructions you can now generate a few bytes per cycle, so billions of numbers is not an issue.
It is disappointing to me that how this issue impacts men is largely brushed aside. It is well documented that testosterone levels have greatly declined in the last 100 years. If you couple these two facts, it seems impossible they are incorrect.

And when this topic comes up, the responses are generally, “who cares?” First, attention is diverted from the male to fertility, because the issue must be seen as impacting females negatively to justify any interest by society. Second, the way this impacts boys and men is entirely ignored. Responses exist like, “we just need a way to reproduce without men”, or “everyone can just use IVF and still have children”. I worry very few people respect how being wished out of existence so that females can enjoy plastics and pesticides impacts men. Very few people respect how demeaning it is for men to be infertile and how this would impact their mental health. Very few people respect how being unable to produce the hormones that allow boys to develop correctly or men to perform their biological functions impacts men. It is wholly disheartening.

If there were even the slightest indication that something similar impacted women only, I doubt we would be here discussing whether or not the effect was real, but instead, what should we do about it? Instead, since sperm count and testosterone levels are “men’s issues”, nobody cares unless it can be shown to impact the other 50% of society that apparently is the only portion deserving of any care.

Apple themselves have sent notifications of that kind. The rule has since been dropped, I doubt it was ever enforced.
The issue with having both linear chronological and tree views is that users of either still need to respect the conventions of the other. For linear views it is common to just reply at the end while tree view users will be a lot more tolerant of diverging discussions as those not interested can simply ignore that subtree.

Replying to multiple posts in one comment is also something that tree view discussion boards generally don't support - although it should be possible to do it.

Well, I'm not a fighting man. Probably the outcome would be that my adversary would take the weapon off me, and use it against me. Also, the resulting breach of the peace would put me in the frame for assault with a deadly weapon.
So the news organizations aren't malicious, but simply treating their viewers as children when they are lying to them to divert their attention.

Certainly makes me feel warm and fuzzy that our news orgs are looking out for us! :)

I think this kind of stuff is important is breaking the monopoly of American left towards the anglophone media culture.

The Indian right will probably be the first political faction to incorporate this in the Anglophone world, with others following.

It's quite interesting how different English answers filtered by OpenAI biases and less-popular languages, btw. It's almost like worlds apart already, in my subjective experience.
The young are falling out of love with home ownership, cars, dating, drinking etc. I suspect a lack of money is the common factor.
of course they are, cars are expensive, dangerous, and dirty… traffic is miserable, maintenance is expensive, you can’t trust anyone else on the road… a car might be the worst thing I own but I live in a place where I couldn’t eat or get to the doctor’s office without one
> manufacturing replacement parts (prohibitingly expensive)

Some are more than others. PALs and ASICs can be reimplemented in CPLDs and FPGAs. At come point it becomes Theseus' computer, but, if the goal is to preserve the boat, that works. If you want to preserve the wood planks, then you need to keep it powered down in a controlled environment for future generations to apply atomic-resolution sensing eventually.

> For example, you can't emulate different displays properly. As anyone who enjoyed the Vectrex's beautiful vector graphics will agree, you simply cannot emulate this on a modern display. The bright phosphorus coating with the smooth analog beam is not reproducible on something like LCD.

Not right now, but, soon-ish, we'll be able to do that very well with HDR displays. I already can't see pixels or jaggies on my LCDs. With proper computation, one could simulate the analog aspects of CRT tubes - its a lot for GPUs to do now, but, in a decade or so, I assume a mobile GPU would be able to do that without breaking a sweat.

Not long ago I was thinking about a CRT+deflection replacement that would take the analog signals used in CRTs (from an adapter on the neck, where the pins have a lot of variation, and the inputs to the coils), and, maybe, an extra power supply input to power the electronics, and spit out an HDMI signal on the other end.

This should be possible with modern flat panels to a point the image is hard to distinguish for all but the most extreme (think X-Y displays and Tektronix DVSTs) cases.

Curvature is an issue, but flat and Trinitron CRTs should be trivial.
It has not been trained to specifically to produce this text. It was trained randomly on random text from the internet.

The production of this text is a side effect of that training.

You will note that this text is more detailed and nuanced then what most humans can produce. A human when asked to prove he understands what a human is via text is unlikely do a better job then this. You realize when I asked chatGPT about this I deliberately emphasized it to produce more exact details for it be convincing to you specifically and it added that nuance to the answer in a way that indicated it understood the task.

But that is besides the point. I know where you are coming from. You are dismissing the nuance and thinking that this text can easily be reconstructed from a mishmash of existing text in it's training data.

To that I urge you you to read this: https://www.engraved.blog/building-a-virtual-machine-inside/

You need to read it to the very end. The beginning and middle is quite trivial but the end is different from all the things you've seen chatGPT perform before.

In this case chatGPT cannot have put together a mishmash of text from training data. It was asked to imitate an existing thing and chatGPT did so with startlingly detailed nuance and recursive complexity (you need to read to the end to know what I'm talking about).

There is no higher form of evidence in existence for proof of understanding of a thing then emulation of that thing. If you know of any higher form of proof... Let me know. Literally.

Is there a question and answer pair that exists such that when you see the the answer, it functions as proof of understanding of the question. If you can't think of a higher form of proof then emulation... then I think you don't have enough information to know if chatGPT understands what you are telling it. You are simply injecting your own bias into the situation.

We can tell chatGPT to act in ways that is indistinguishable from a human on a keyboard. I think it will perform remarkably well.
Dude, go on https://levels.fyi for 5min and compare US and UK salaries.

US ($339k): https://www.levels.fyi/companies/facebook/salaries/software-...

UK ($200k): https://www.levels.fyi/companies/facebook/salaries/software-...

Lower COL does not make up for $139k USD.

I've seen this exact conversation happen on /r/cscareerquestions about US salaries an uncountable number of times. COL never makes up for the salary difference on the high end. Maybe for median and below salaries, but never for the top percentiles.

E: since you edited in stuff about remote work, I meant in the US. There are a lot of US companies that allow remote work within the US now. I was also talking about SV vs everywhere else in terms of salary difference, not COL. Even with a salary reduction, you're most likely making more than you 'should' in a LCOL area.
NPM will automatically install dependencies and run post-install scripts. Those are normally a convenience, but I can understand why someone would want to skip that.
And if you want to choose not to own a car? Too bad! The laws are structured such that cars are forced on you. So now, having been made to buy a car you now must:

1. Spend thousands of dollars a year on gas, whether you want to or not

2. Buy auto insurance

3. Pay for routine maintenance like oil changes and brakes

And none of this is by choice.

I hate cars. Yet I am forced to own one in order to live.
And for other countries, we are also sharing the data (sourced from the job ads with salary ranges):

Plus car insurance - which tends to be very costly for younger drivers.
Which Firefox? Oh I remember...the one being puppet of Google's donations.
Not only that, properly managing dependencies would become a huge problem.
The Euro is basically equal to the USD these days anyway though.
>In high density public transportation is massively faster, cheaper, and more efficient that personal automobile.

This assumes the public transportation is competently run, which is a rarity in the Anglophone world. In the UK I think the only good one is TfL.

Meanwhile Birmingham has a million people and no metro.

The one time I visited NYC the subway seemed third world.
That so true but unfortunately it takes many freedoms to able to do this.

Freedom from financial worries, freedom from the worry of what others think, freedom from the worries of not knowing for what it will be good for (to explore).

We do this as children since all those freedoms are given. It is hard to do when one starts out in society that places so many expectations on one.
You can get through the paywall by disabling javascript.
Yes ? We already dismiss them, because they are too easy to hack, and don't give enough insight to the teacher as to the student's learning process ?

In fact now that I think of it, almost the only fields that seem to be using them would be... foreign language teaching ! (Where they are probably appropriate, since so much of it is just pattern memorisation...)
As the project becomes more than a simple example and requires more third-party libraries, this is just unmaintainable.
As was said in an earlier comment, that wasn't his family name. That would be "di Ser Piero", if even that could be considered a family name. In this case it did simply mean ".. from / of Vinci". As in "Paul. You know Paul? No, not that one. I mean Paul from Bristol."

In Montreal(and other places throughout Eastern Canada) we have a "car-sharing" program called communauto.

It's pretty cheap and is competitive with a bus pass depending on where you're going. It covers gas, insurance, maintenance, and you have access to all local parking permits. You can get essentially 'unlimited rides' for less than 100$/month.

I had a car off and on over the last couple of years, and I would barely use it, mostly just to change parking spots. I also sank a couple ~4k into repairs only to finally scrap it (I'm a bit of an idiot).

Communauto is a great inbetween, where I can do groceries, can go on extended trips. It's a great option for the occasional (<3/week) or frequent in-city motorist.
Kinda, the benefit in the UAE is that the taxes are lower, but it's really company-dependent since you have fewer worker protections. I turned down a job offer there because it's so far away, so if you lost the job (see recent layoffs), it'd be a nightmare.

But Australia and Canada both have slightly better salaries too (just not US-level).
You're using others' scripts from the firmware up all the way to the lite comment input box on HN, and you have just as much reason to trust any piece of that gigantic stack as you do a *Monkey script.
Maybe but that's the essence of cherry-picking. It suggests that you aren't actually 'working from nothing towards plausible theories' as you think (and I'm not saying this is intentional or some sort of intellectual or moral failing, we all do this) but working backwards from a conclusion to select supporting points and counterpoints can be dismissed for not being sufficiently countery.
Eh, in most cases it is just Chrome. WebUSB, Web Serial, a dozen others, Chrome has implemented despite both Mozilla and Apple saying they won't because the risk of malicious use is too high.

I would argue (and have argued before), if placed behind a well-understood consent concept like "installing" the PWA, it would be safer to implement these sorts of APIs.
I really wished this demonisation of the car stopped. Modern cars are way more climate friendly than merely 10-20 years ago and many climate-conscious persons do pool to commute.

But we need to understand. There are cases where the car is a must. Unavoidable. Imagine having toddlers, having to do heavy groceries, and living in a place with difficult landscape or challenging weather. Imagine having a neurological disease or some other disability.
I might be completely wrong, but these days I believe everyone is insecure to some degree and just create this “best” facade because don’t want to look worse than the rest that are bragging to be at least aiming for the best.

What is sad to me is that a lot of times I perceive that society lauds the bragging ones and overlooks who sincerely (and bravely) admit their “weaknesses”.
This is the situation where I live too, in a non-London part of the UK. There are buses and trains but they mostly just link you to the larger cities, outside of the cities it isn't a viable replacement for car ownership.

Also if you're planning to have a family, a car is essential. Herding children on packed public transport is a no-no. I can imagine it being easier to walk with children if you're living in high trust communities where all amenities are available within walking distance, but that might also be a wealth thing too.
I just use it for my own scripts. It's great for when you don't like something and think it should be done slightly different. I also re-layout news sites as they are mostly just horrendous.
I think you hit the nail on the head. The small-town, big family folks I know (my parents included), all started their families before 25. It's the double professional degree couples with a late start who end up at the fertility clinic, and tragically, are incredibly more likely to produce children with complications.

Even now, as someone who's 27 and looking to start a family before I'm 30, I'm having to be more discerning with age when picking a lifelong partner. My women friends haven't been especially supportive of this strategy, and I can see it when I introduce them to a date a few years younger than them. Call it selfishness, call it pragmatism, but when it comes to the health of my future children, I don't mind being choosy.
It’s faster if you live next to the train station and your work is next to the destination station. Anyway, for some people is better one way than the other
If I really needed to go without a bundler, my search would start and end with Vue. Other popular js frameworks (even some of newer ones) are heavily tied to a bundler. And why use less popular alternatives when vue comes with official router, state mgmt and devtools?
But this article IS an about median wages and not specifically about the top percentile!

> Lower COL does not make up for $139k USD

It can if property prices for those top percentiles are more than $139k cheaper.

My house is worth literally twice the price of my mother in laws house and she lives in a larger property. The only difference is she’s at the north end of England and I’m in the south.

Cost of living can vary dramatically in Europe.
> Most countries in Europe are a lot more restrictive on immigration than the US

They are not.

I'm an immigrant myself in EU. Know plenty of people that migrated to the US.
I agree with this. The Postgresql docs are adequate--not outstanding, just adequate--by the standards of the mainframe and minicomputer manuals of those days. Nothing else today even comes close[1]. There are so many things you just have to try.
