I wonder if it depends on the codebase in question. I've not had too much trouble with Xcode being power hungry on moderately-sized codebases that are entirely or almost entirely idiomatic Swift with Swift Package Manager handling dependencies.

I could see this being different for a project that's a mix of Swift, Objective-C, C++, etc though or has a lot of messier Swift code of the sort that makes SourceKit grumpy (deeply nested blocks, etc).
It's a shame that every release it's less of an OS for the user and more of an OS for MS.

Quick question. I believe edge is cross platform? Did the same hijack die on other platforms it only on windows?
I don't think I agree with this right now.

The tech and business mindset of 15 years ago is remarkably similar to that of 15 years before that, and 15 years before that, even.

Businesses need technical functionality that enables the core mission of the company, and they need accurate operational insights.

This means "boring" technology. It means reliable systems and processes. It means accurate reports who's methodology can be understood clearly.

I prefer to solve real problems with boring technology, than to solve imaginary problems with exciting technology.
Has it ever been a consensus best? Today xv6 is likely the most popular choice and before xv6 there was nachos and its more recent offshoots.
Sure, if the spec uses it's terminology accurately and is unambiguous, but...

> Template engine websites, tools, and sites that

> are NOT permitted.

Github is certainly not a template engine website.

One could make the argument that it falls on the engineer to discuss the spec with the client - but these are high school students, and when they did attempt to discuss the spec with someone they were given the bureaucratic runaround.

So recently, I was fooling around with ChatGPT. And it got me thinking: "How cool would it be if ChatGPT powered Siri or Google Assistant".
I know this will never happen, so I started wondering: "How hard would it be to create my voice assistant?".
Well, it turned out that it wasn't, and after a couple of evenings, I got my Voice Assistant called FRIDAI. This is a quick demo.

I've recently been describing what a commercial VPN provides to non-technical friends and family as a type of "global virtual Internet cafe" subscription. It's not inherently (i.e. due to technical benefits of underlying technology) any more or less secure than connecting to your home or work wifi/network, and the Internet cafe knows who you are and what websites you're visiting, but your ISP/employer doesn't (since you're "at" the Internet cafe, not on your home/work network).

Of course, your ISP/employer does know that you're visiting the Internet cafe, and in the case of work (and some ISPs) can stop you from doing so.

If you visit a website from an Internet cafe, the website may still be able to figure out who you are, just like they can when you bounce between different networks normally. And of course, if you login to your account on a website or put your shipping address or something in when buying something, you're self identifying (unless you have throwaway accounts or forwarding addresses or whatever). And finally, if someone really wants to figure out who you are to a high degree of confidence, they will.

I find this lands pretty well and is close enough to being technically correct without getting into the details that non-technical people would start glazing over if I got into.
I, and I suspect other ADHD people, don't form those habits.
I've for years read things like "you don't have to remind yourself to brush your teeth because it's a habit. You can make exercising a habit, too."

But for some of us, we do have to remind ourselves to brush our teeth, or eat, or whatever thing the average person does "automatically".

- Turing https://www.turing.com/
- Revelo https://www.revelo.com.br/ (focused on Brazilian devs but there are openings from USA and Canada to work remotely from all Latam)
- X-Team - https://x-team.com/

I have profile in all of them and ended getting offers from most!
I hope this helps you.

According to the OP, the culprit is VSCode: https://twitter.com/brian_lovin/status/1628505684504625152

On my 1 y/o M1 Air I consistently get over 10hrs mixed use. Coding itself is not compute intensive at all but someone is using some build systems, VMs. Docker etc. these things constantly compute stuff and as a result the battery is decimated.

The modern Dev environments are ridiculous, no matter what people say coding Swift on XCode is a breeze. Even if you do dynamic previews with SwiftUI and use simulators, it's still lighter than some web dev stuff.

It's good to employ TDD for this. Write a test and then ask ChatGPT for a solution. If it fails the test tell it and it will come up with fixes.

Sometimes it is not perfect and a couple of times I had a case where ChatGPT couldn't code something and it would go into a loop coming back to the permutation of wrong answer over and over. Most of the time starting over with different prompt describing the same task in a different way fixes it.

Diagnosed ADHD, taken a lot of meds over the years. At times I would have said it quadrupled my productivity. Over the last couple years I’ve focused a lot on lifestyle and feel my performance is at all time highs, without meds.

The most helpful frame I’ve found for self improvement is to focus on what’s happening in your own body/mind/environment and tend to it and make it better from where it is. As opposed to having a plan/dream and trying to contort yourself to achieve it.

Ok, specific tips:

1. Exercise is fuel for your mind. I walk every morning and punctuate long periods of work with walks.

2. Think in terms of ‘now’. Eg I am choosing to play video games now. I am choosing to ___ now - In order for something to happen, sometime it needs to happen ‘now’.

3. Something that has been helpful to me is talking through problems. (I do this on my walks using a voice notes app). I don’t understand what’s at work here but it’s deeply profound.

I think you are conflating your restrictive and painful company policies with features that can be beneficial to the users.

I believe such a permission system can be a good thing. Apart from the "the app could be a bit malicious and I can't check by looking at its code because it's not available" situation which does not really concern me because I avoid proprietary apps, let alone apps that could be a bit malicious, it reduces the surface attack. Imagine a browser that asks for no permissions, or for temporary ones when needed (access to the microphone or the webcam for example - not sure Flatpak allows temporary permissions, but still). Some malicious website trying to exploit a security flaw would be restricted in the harm it can cause by the permission system. The user is still in control because they can decide what to allow. Actually, such a system improves the user control because now, the user can also deny things if they want.

Such system can be abused by restrictive policies, but the problem is there: in the policies.

Now, I won't use Flatpak as long as I can, because I don't like its heaviness. It takes space on the disk. I don't like the delays it causes when running an app. The integration of Flatpak apps in the system is not perfect yet and I notice it. But this permission system? Yes, looks good :-)

And an intelligence agency is not as willing to share their data as an ISP would be, so you pretty much still win over the status quo. Indeed, several ISPs were found to be sharing with intelligence agencies anyway, so by putting your traffic directly through them, you at least remove the ISP from the picture and the 50 other companies they would've also shared with.
They don't absorb it.

I was the victim of credit card fraud and someone set up another ebay account under my name, which then "bought" items from yet a second fraudulent ebay seller as a way to collect the ill-gotten credit card funds. I disputed the fraud with my bank.

eBay fucking PILED and PILED on the paperwork to my bank, both at the initial and every appeals step I used to attempt to win the dispute. Fought them tooth and nail over a few hundred bucks. I ended up losing because they had a legal department going ham to make sure I would lose the credit card dispute where they had lawyers working 40+ hours a week vs whatever time I have on the side to fight a few hudred bucks. If you file a dispute with ebay it is like filing a dispute against an army of lawyers, good luck.

Many have been asking for an intuitive explanation of martingales. The following is the historical context, which helps understand some of the motivation.

suppose you have a fair coin, and you bet 1 dollar that it comes up heads. if it does, then you get 2 dollars, and you gain 1 dollar and exit.

suppose you lose. then put $2 on the next being head. if you win, you get double, for a gain of $4-($2+$1)=$4-$3=$1.

on third toss, put $4. if it comes up heads, you get $8. the gain is $8-$7=$1.

so every time you lose, double the previous bet. you can exit with $1 gain on your first win.

this was the original, flawed, martingale strategy. what's wrong?

then we realize that there is one outcome where you lose all your stake. On that path, your loss is exponential in the number of rounds!

another way to state that is that the expectation of the money after any round is $1, your initial stake. This is where the insight of expected value being preserved comes from.
> Russia, giving the country it's name. The name Rus

It's worth mentioning that Russia is only one population that branched from the Rus', and it did not claim the name Russia until the ~1700s when the Duchy of Moscow entered an expansionist period... Rus' = Russia is an oversimplification that implies Russian dominance of Belarus and Ukraine.

It is not as bad as the headline would suggest. The economy presumably is growing at the same time that the $19 trillion debt is being added. US GDP has grown a lot since 2012. Debt to GDP the highest since ww2, which seems bad, but the economy still boomed after ww2 anyway, so it's not saying much.

Except for the (currently) 5,505 Ethereum nodes[0] that are currently online...

If you (optimistically) assume that each of these nodes consumes 10w of power (that's an extremely low estimate - not every node is a Raspberry Pi) that's 55,0000 watts - or 55 kilowatts, all for a network that can process a maximum of 30 transactions per second and is used by a tiny portion of the population.

That's still absolutely abysmal efficiency. Nowhere near the estimated 150 terawatt hours of power consumed by PoW bitcoin but still completely unacceptable and ridiculous for a network where the ATH for daily active addresses was roughly 1.5m and the daily average hovers more around 500k.

481,000 kWh per year and again, looking at node stats the vast majority are amd64 so the real number is at least 5-10x this.

It is completely crazy to expect people to "pro-actively explain why it's there" -- how do you see this? A plaque at every fence with explanation? A person standing by fence every day, just in case someone wants to tear it down? Do you expect each shared object to be labeled and documented?

Whomever wants to tear the fence down has to do basic research -- visit city hall for the plans, talk to old-timers, check the old newspapers, etc... If they do it, this qualifies for "understanding". And yes, maybe the fence was put by Crazy Old Bill who was paranoid about neighbour's goats... then yes, tear it down. But make sure it is really him first, and not some better reason.

> assuming you don’t know consequences of removing the fence, you also have to assume that you don’t know consequences of letting the fence in place,

Note that at some moment there were no fence, and yet someone has expended non-trivial effort to put the fence up. This means someone had a reason do to so, so whomever that past person was, they knew more than you did right now. Therefore, unless you believe that you are smarter than most other people, you should defer to their past decision.

(And if you believe that you are smart that most other people, and yet want to tear down the fences you don't understand... I have bad news for you :) )
