Web dev here - I use to have three monitors early on in my career. Two side by side and one vertical for a terminal. Then eventually two and now just one large 32” 4k UHD one.

Having one has definitely helped me focus better. Left side of the screen is the browser and the right is VSCode with a terminal in the bottom half. It’s my ideal setup as of last 5 years.

One area which an external monitor (or high resolution) helps a lot with is UI or frontend programming. It's a huge pain to play with the chrome or Firefox debugger and have to jump between windows to get feedback.

When it comes to backend or non-UI work, a laptop is just fine.
From your link, what's missing for the OP is:

Thunderbolt, DP Alt Mode, Video Decoder/Encoder, SEP, Neural Engine, internal Speaker

Thunderbolt seems like the main missing feature. It's easy to see how someone could live a fulfilling life without running into the lack of any of those features. E.g. is there even anything on the Linux desktop that could take advantage of the Neural Engine or Secure Enclave?
It's likely a ruling on this will affect cases against Stable Diffusion, Dall-E etc.

>The feud began in 2016 when the Andy Warhol Foundation licensed an image of Prince to Condé Nast for a special magazine commemorating the musician’s death. Lynn Goldsmith, whose photograph had served as Warhol’s template decades earlier, objected because she had licensed the picture for one-time use. The foundation then sued her, asking for a judgment that Warhol’s changes to the photograph were transformative and should be considered fair use.

The job of a tenured STEM faculty member is not the same as contract lecturer.

Tenured faculty do research and run the university as well as teach. At a major research school a STEM faculty member will often raise hundreds of thousands of dollars a year in outside research funds, which will pay upwards of ten graduate students and the other running costs of a research lab. They will do and publish new research, usually while training graduate students, review the work of others, run conferences, sit on hiring committees,, take turns being Director of this or that (ie. management positions).

Many STEM professors raise more external money than their salary costs. They are dollar positive to the school before they teach anything. And they teach too.

Yes, it has a salary better than contract teaching.
It seems like nothing is necessarily wrong with the software itself. Its the opsec surrounding the software. The most secure software in the world can be pwned if you can get access to the lead dev's system or the build system itself.
There are two kinds of job.

* Adjunct lecturer/temporary faculty: These are people hired for just one semester for a specific course, for fairly minimal salary. Ads for these are posted usually 3 to 6 months before the semester starts, and you can just apply to them.

* Visiting faculty: If you are actually really good, sometimes Universities will hire you as a visiting faculty. There is a case-by-case negotiated contract (usually 1 or 2 courses per year, with whatever other constraints you have). The difference from the first choice is that you have some choice in the course you get to teach, and how you teach it.

I would recommend starting from the first choice, and teaching a large standard course where other faculty are around to help you. Teaching well is very difficult (and teaching badly is relatively easy), and people's future is at stake, so its best to start slow and learn the ropes before attempting something difficult.

It's funny because the writer in the article identifies himself as a writer, not an artist. He then later equates identifying as a writer to identifying as an artist, which is kind of like that you're saying.

> This change I feel is one of the least objectionable, IMHO. The point of the paragraph seems to be that Mathilda read kind of stuffy old books, and fed her imagination with them. If the namedropped authors aren't well known by today's children, why not adjust them?

Do you remember analyzing books in school? One of the things we were taught to keep in mind as a lens of analysis was the author as a person, and why they might have written what they wrote. I think this is a great example: Why did Dahl choose the authors he chose to mention? In Matilda, in many cases, I believe he did it to tacitly recommend those books and authors to his readers. To the age group that makes up Dahl's readership, most of them probably weren't well known even at the peak of their popularity. That's sort of the point: Dahl's saying--possibly--"go check this out, my young readers".

So yeah, I think it's pretty crass to just change it to a different author. Dahl is an author calling out fellow authors in his book. It happens in movies a lot, too, where filmmakers will put subtle (or not-so-subtle) nods to their peers and forebears and inspirations in their work. I think, as a rule, if the audience notices it, it was probably intentional. Most authors and filmmakers care about other authors and filmmakers a lot more than we do. None of them would be okay with somebody in the future mucking with their references because people aren't immediately getting the reference. They'd be like... "No! The whole point was to immortalize that person or work further by mentioning it in my work!"
Many humans can't do this.

Not any of your logos per se (rather, I haven't done a deep dive yet :P), but when I usually see a SaaS say that they partnered with so and so BigCorp, I just assume it's one developer trying out the product, as compared to a team using it for an extended duration (granted, everyone's doing that). So I just skip that testimonials section now.

Case studies are a much better validation imo.
The USB2.0 ports are driven by an ip block called dwc2. It's always been a potato. I suppose it was designed for ancient phones that mainly needed it to be as device(aka gadgets) to other usb hosts (eg: a phone connected to a computer, where dwc2 was inside a phone), it just happened that it had this feature called OTG (which is a fancy way to say you can reverse the data direction, so you have host capabilities as well). Because these host capabilities were an after thought (pretty much designed only for flash drives at most) for a niche feature of a phone, it wasn't ever implemented properly.

Another fun thing that happens is that a lot of DWC2's functionality has to be delegated to software instead of the fast hardware. In USB the host needs to send out a packet toward to devices every 1ms. In other USB implementations this happens in the background, driver/kernel doesn't even get notified about it until there's something interesting to do. In DWC2, every 1ms the driver has to do some work, I think it even has to handle 8 interrupts per 1ms. You'll notice that whenever you have any usb device connected, and you `cat /proc/interrupts` you'll probably see a steady increase of 8000/second, this is not normal.

On higher speed hardware like the rk3288, DWC2 doesn't use that much CPU, but for the lower power RPI cpu, this is a significant amount.

Another sophomore in college here. Get your kid an iPhone. Growing up without iMessage, FaceTime, GamePigeon, when every other kid has it, sucks, plain and simple.

Computers of all stripes are more reliable now. In the late nineties I ran apache + mod-perl built from source.

Additionally, if OP's son gets an iPhone, then some other kid in his class will go from being one of two kids without an iPhone to being the only one. The more people give in to the social pressure, the stronger the pressure becomes.

While that's a cool chip, it doesn't really apply here.

USB2.0 ports on the RPI4 only have 2.0 lines (from DWC2 inside the SOC).
USB3.0 ports on the RPI4 have both 2.0 and 3.0 lines going to it (both sets of lines for this port coming from the same place: the pcie connected usb controller).

Even though both of the above ports come with 2.0 lines, they're quite different in how they're implemented.

The chip you linked would be useful if that pcie controller didn't come with 2.0 connections.
My guess is Ada. I have not used it, but that would be my guess.

> Dells and HPs of the world didn't recognize it [Debian] because it was not a company.

IIRC Debian maintainers formed companies for that reason.

I was a Debian user because it suited me. It was obvious (to me at the time) that suits were going to choose RedHat, and we ran it a bit to have experience.

How wrong I was. Ubuntu made Debian every bit as much as a "choice of the suits" as Redhat.

Even on windows, while there are some obvious editing benefits with Vim mode, there's so much you can do with modern shortcuts. VS Code is customizable as hell, and the mouse is still an invaluable tool. With a TKL keyboard, I have no issues reaching for it and then resting my hands back on my keyboard without looking down or searching for it.
the best way to to navigate that landscape is to be professional, keep sexual innuendo to a minimum, and treat people with respect. that reduces your risk profile to a manageable level. If someone is truly weaponizing HR with false complaints and getting away with it, you should look for a different office. That is not acceptable and not typical and you should be able to find better.
Perhaps try setting `OMP_NUM_THREADS`, for example `OMP_NUM_THREADS=4 torchrun ...`.

But on my machine, it automatically used all 12 available physical cores. Setting OMP_NUM_THREADS=2 for example lets me decrease the number of cores being used, but increasing it to try and use all 24 logical threads has no effect. YMMV.
If brainwave scanning reaches a point where those instruments are pervasive, I am sure tinfoil hats or some technology similar in spirit will advance accordingly.

Should NASA's leadership be given to a monkey?

Debater A

While adaptability and resourcefulness are valuable traits, they are not unique to monkeys and can be found in human leaders as well. In addition, the consequences of a mistake made by a monkey leader in a critical situation could be catastrophic. We cannot risk such a gamble with the future of NASA and the safety of its astronauts.

Debater B

I understand your concern about the risks involved, but let's not underestimate the capability of monkeys. With proper screening and training, a capable monkey leader could emerge who could handle the immense responsibility of leading NASA. It's important to explore all options and not limit ourselves based on species.

This is nothing like master vs. main debate. The photo was unmistakenly cropped from a nude photo and used in research. Do you think Github really was thinking about race when they used master?

I use a single curved 32" monitor, same setup as above most of the time via window snapping: code/result (UI, test suite, etc)

KP has always been about the cheapest option for me. The Google/Stanford health plan was marginally cheaper when it launched while I worked at Stanford and then later at a Google subsidiary but living in SF they had very few local doctors (most of their network was down in Silicon Valley.)

People are certainly willing to pay more for PPO plans which give them more options but personally I’ve never run into problems with KP. And the California rule which means hospital charges for HMO patients are capped at the deductible for an out of network ER visit is hugely important. Otherwise you get nickel and dime’d by all sorts of charges for each professional who sees you in the ER and some hospitals even went after patients for $1000s when they charges more than the insurance company would pay. https://www.sfchronicle.com/bayarea/heatherknight/article/In...

How to help people

Erase from your vocabulary the phrase: “At Google we …”. Nothing more effectively signals a separate tribe, and nothing makes it easier to ignore you. Instead, listen to people, understand their problems and challenges, and use first principles explanations to demonstrate you’ve listened and understood. Then and only then suggest solutions, and use those solutions to teach different approaches, where appropriate. If you must use a phrase to directly reference a Google approach, try “In the past, when trying to achieve … I’ve found … to work well.”

Be humble. Humility is endless, relatively cheap, and makes friends.
