I think a big part of the appeal is that the business workstations were popular for businesses, and those businesses would operate on a 2-, 3-, or 5-year upgrade cycle and unload used high-quality workstations on eBay for dirt cheap, which also made them popular with the hacker crowd.

Unilever Tries Reformulating Its Ice Cream to Survive Warmer Freezers
https://www.lamps-on-line.com/leading-trailing-edge-led-dimm...

Good dimmable LED bulbs from quality manufacturers like Philips dim very well with many incandescent (leading edge) dimmers. Usually these bulbs are larger and have space in the base for a driver circuit that derives a brightness signal from the waveform rather than passing through the chopped current.

Smaller bulbs with no built-in driver are much more suited to dimming using a trailing edge dimmer or dedicated LED driver. These strobe like mad on a traditional dimmer switch but may benefit from having a single incandescent bulb on the same circuit to round off the waveform a bit.

For one difficult circuit I put a 5w ceramic resistor in parallel with the lighting to smooth out the dimming response between two different fixtures.

If glucose monitoring gives you bad information, you could easily lose body parts, die, or other bad outcomes (In the last 10 years, one of my friends died, after apparently having lost several toes in an earlier episode. Another friend was rescued by the police after driving on the highway for several hours in a disoriented state. Both of them were medical professionals and presumably using best practices in their monitoring).

The most interesting part of this for me was, "Unilever owns most of the 3 million chest-like freezers that house its ice-cream tubs and treats in bodegas and corner stores, and the energy used to power them accounts for around 10% of Unilever’s greenhouse gas footprint, according to the London-based firm."

Didn't realize that they owned the freezers themselves, I figured they just did the branding and stores owned them!

Hard no. We have decades of research establishing there are distinct differences in the brains of people with ADHD and real kinds of tasks in which they drastically underperform regardless of effort.

It might be nice to think it's really just part of a rainbowy spectrum of everyone is different and koombaya, but it's simply not true.

Similar to another commenter here, I told myself this story until my early thirties and suffered the whole time thinking I was using the ADHD "label" as a crutch.

ADHD and other mental illnesses get this "just a label" treatment because we don't walk around with missing limbs or eyeballs. Most people with ADHD mask their symptoms enough to feign normality. That normality is enough to make them functional while enough to fool others the stray from normal is akin to the occasional distractability of neurotypical brains.

That's a good argument /explanation. However, based on the equipment cost they mentioned (half a million $) I assumed they wouldn't be doing VLSI chips. As you said process reliability and efficiency is king there. I very much doubt you can do VLSI chips with alibaba equipment for $0.5million. My impression was they would be making rare chips with few tens of transistors tops (perhaps analog ics etc.). Even with few dozen transistors there should be many chips they could sell. Simple(obsolete) logic no one makes, but required to service old military equipment. Other simple IC's. If they could pull off a process to produce few K of transistors efficiently (an equivalent of 1980s tech) they could make microcontrollers etc(flash is another story). This is coming into VLSI territory, but it is still extremely far from a powerfull TPU chip. Look at google's edge TPU. I bet they sell them so cheap only because they had some unused wafer space left near the edges when making their proper TPUs. So they squeezed in some of those edge TPUs almost for free. How can anyone with alibaba equipment compete with that?
Workphones should be locked so that nothing can be installed unless IT white-lists it, IMHO.

Otherwise, either IT does not know what's on their devices at all. Or they need to install scanning software to keep track and sonehow take action as needed. So best to go at the source and start by preventing users from installing anything.

> AND were elevated higher by attending these universities(whether that be from the connections they made or the better-than-average education).

Doubtful. The data just doesn't support it. Having connections and the capability to excel in that environment saw them more likely to be accepted into these schools, maybe.

> It doesn’t have to be an either/or.

It (university) also doesn't have to have any impact. It can just be a thing off to the side that someone does as a hobby. Just because it costs money doesn't mean it produces economic value. 35% of these people likely also own some kind of exotic sports car, but is the car the reason for their position? Not likely.
It was also the first (non-research) processor I'm aware of that was designed from the ground up to be 64-bit, without 32-bit addressing. Of course, as long as you can get the OS to allocate only within a given 4 GB range, you could emulate 32-bit pointers by storing only 32-bit offsets.

The processor's firmware (PALCode) was essentially a single-tenant hypervisor, and the OS kernel made upcalls to the firmware in order to perform any privileged instructions. Had the architecture survived longer, this would have been handy for virtualization. Modern OS kernels have special cases for upcalls when running on top of hypervisors in order to avoid some of the overhead of the trap-and-emulate code in the hypervisor.

The designers were brutal in only including instructions that could show a performance improvement in simulations. The first versions of the processor didn't have single byte loads or stores, presuming that the standard library string functions would load and store 64-bit words at a time and perform any necessary bit manipulations in registers. They later relented and included an instruction set extension for single-byte operations.

They were also famously brutal in their memory model, leaving as much leeway as possible for hardware to re-order operations. As long as you're correctly using mutexes to protect shared state, the mutex acquisition and releasing code will properly synchronize all of your memory operations. However, if you're implementing lockfree data structures, the Alpha is particularly liberal in its read ordering, and you need read fences on the reader side of lockfree structures, which is unusual. Experience has shown that for most code, the potential performance improvements aren't very significant, especially considering the increased potential for concurrency bugs.
At my last company we used k8s not primarily because of the scaling capabilities, but as a way to safely deploy applications.
Extremely cool and useful map! Night trains fill an important travel niche in terms of distance/comfort/time/eco-friendliness and can be super practical.

Recently I took a night train for the first time since I was a teen instead of a 40 minute flight for the comfort levels and the emissions, and it was surprisingly comfortable. Not a perfect night's sleep (I'm a light sleeper), but perfectly enjoyable.

PS: Sadly I doubt the Ukrainian night trains are all running at the moment..

People with privileged access should certainly use appropriate devices but I don't see how can you expect that they don't use the apps that everyone else uses?

Does this feed from the illusion that bureaucrats are different species? I find this very problematic. I'm sure however I can't prove it, but I think that this is a result of the propaganda that makes you think that the society is controlled by external forces referred as "Washington", "Brussels", "Moscow" or "Beijing" on which you have no power. Especially in the west the voting rates are comically low and people speak as if they don't have power on what's happening. Why do you do that? These are just regular people who grew up among you or your parents. They definitely need social media or whatever else everyone else needs.
I quite agree, so I'm making a meta-library to have useful libraries available out of the box: https://github.com/ciel-lang/CIEL/ It's CL, batteries included. You can use it as a library, as a core CL image (loads up faster), and as a binary to have a REPL, and to run scripts:

ciel --script myscript.lisp

(edit) or just

./myscript

with a #!/usr/bin/env ciel shebang.

where you have access to HTTP clients, JSON parsers, CSV readers, DB drivers… and much more, out of the box.

It is not done, I am dogfooding it.

> The inclusion of Github is not a mistake, because Github[1] cites Jekyll[2] (another named example) as a feature and provides features (web hosting and design tools) similar to another example named: Webs[3].

> Would it be more prudent to list "Github Pages" as the named example instead of Github?

It is a mistake because GitHub is first and foremost a platform for hosting code and collaborating. Jekyll is an optional feature in a tiny portion of GitHub's product catalog. Even if they specifically said "GitHub Pages" (which they didn't, so your argument is moot), that would still ignore the fact that Pages <> template generation. The page you link even references that you can use a generator but do not have to:

) Ready to get started? Build your own site from scratch or generate one for your project.

So better written rules would say "template generators like Wix or GitHub Pages using Jekyll are NOT permitted" Do you acknowledge how significantly that changes the interpretation of the rules and how poorly written they are in their current form?

‐--------

Edit: not to mention that the rule is explicitly in the context of template generation. Nowhere do they say "no GitHub (the VCS platform)" as you keep falsely claiming, the rules say "no GitHub (the temptation site)" which is a very different thing.

) H. Framework systems, such as Drupal, Joomla,
Wordpress, Bootstrap, or other current technologies
may be used; however, pre-built templates and
themes for these sites are not permissible. If a
framework system is used, a statement affirming
that the template or theme used on the framework
was built by the team must be posted on an “About”
section or page.

) I. Template engine websites, tools, and sites that
generate HTML from text, markdown, or script files,
such as Webs, Wix, Weebly, GitHub, Jekyll, and Replit,
are NOT permitted.

Building off of another question about VCs. I would go further up the chain, I am more pessimistic about Venture Capital and their parasitic relationship with to startups. Startups are in my opinion amazing and there are still many more ideas that are to be executed on. I have issue with the expectations that Venture Capital brings to the table.

The VC industry to me is in a state that Hedge Funds were prior to their free fall in 2008. You were a high networth individual, you put some money into a hedge fund to be part of the club and paid your 2 and 20. It was often not the best investment decision but it was fashionable. In the past 10-15 years it has become a similar trend. Now of course money has been cheap so there is an argument that due diligence is not as important in many of these investments...but I am curious about returns in VC funds for the past 5 years and going forward. Most of the IPOs that I can recall have been pretty lackluster and the underlying businesses/economic models are pretty lackluster. Everyone was sold on XYZ being the next Google but that has not shaped up to be the truth.

I am not arguing that VC should not exist, same as Hedge Funds. I do think the industry is in a bad spot with how many poor investments were made. This easy money has spawned an entire industry of under performing startups with stellar employee benefits.
The idea that it's related to the colour of skin, is flawed. Any one really knowing anything about European history, knows that the history is full of surprisingly local examples like this: https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/0144039X.2020.18...
I don't know that op chooses her words super carefully, but I read it as being like only carpenters should be able to choose how they build houses. That's pretty reasonable, especially when you consider there's also housing codes (something software engineering probably needs to work on).
oh but it certainly can be depending on the industry you are in.

It can just be frustrating because you want to deliver results and this realization can get you stuck in the mud of "We need better measuring processes."

However you also get to advocate for why these measuring practices matter.

The Value of the Chess Pieces by Edward Winter
What part of Common Lisp would you consider old cruft and what value would removing it bring to the language that would offset the value we have from having one of the most stable language definitions still in use? I can think of a few dusty parts of the language that are rarely used today but it's perfectly safe to ignore.

Lisp has a good all purpose library ecosystem, it's just informal rather than baked into the language, and I haven't had any significant issues with quicklisp since it came out however many years ago. Writing portable common lisp is not at all difficult and there is no problem like with say Scheme of one library needing a specific compiler. And libraries tend to have a long shelf-life too. How much of Python's standard library is old cruft with better alternative packages available now for example? Didn't they have to prune a bunch of stuff in the python2->3 transition? There is considerable risk in including standard libraries in a standard, and the risk is that those libraries will end up being outdated eventually. You want to add more potential for more old cruft to be in Lisp and then pruned again? Why? Just use quicklisp or one of it's alternatives that are cropping up.

Lisp is not Go, it's an agreement between many different parties about what lisp is, it's not a codebase under the defacto control of one organization, or even an informal group or "community". This is extremely valuable and recent events around Go show why, I am extremely glad that I never payed much attention to Go because honestly I cannot trust it's governance model, but a specification that hasn't been and won't be updated in decades I can trust completely, and if one implementation betrays that trust, I can always move to one of the many alternatives listed in the OP.

sidenote:

> I think every programmer that tries common lisp eventually comes to the same conclusion

if this refers to "Lisp needs more backing from the heavyweights", then OH GODS PLEASE NOOO! I want to write code that will run in a year without modification and won't have some corporation put spyware in my compiler while trying to convince me it's for my own good and have my IDE slurp my code to train some LLM to make it easier to pile even more pointless unmaintainable code upon the world. The "heavyweights" have shown themselves very poor stewards of the discipline of computing indeed.
