Simply adding "forum" onto the search query has worked pretty well for me.

Of course, when I am aware of a specific forum which exists for that topic, site:... works well too.
I am unsure if this is a wage that workers receive while clocked in maneuvering to "hot zone" activity areas in order to get orders OR if it only applies when a worker has accepted an order. If it is the latter case, then these workers can still receive a sub federal minimum wage if there aren't many orders placed or if the algorithm decides to prioritize one worker over another.

Browsing reddit.com/r/ubereatsdrivers and /r/ubereats has led me to believe that the majority of these workers spend their time waiting between orders and that they will not receive an order waiting in a stationary location for too long (i.e. they could be ready+willing to accept an order for hours and would be penalized if they did not actively drive or if camped out in a parking lot/home).

With the new able bodied working requirements for SNAP and other benefits, I wonder if it is possible that gig workers can be engaged in work activity for 80+ hours per month while not technically meeting that requirement. That would mean they would make less than minimum wage and be cut off from healthcare and food assistance.

I also discovered than many of these drivers aren't really earning more than a base rate of a couple of dollars (literally ~$2) and tips. It seems like these delivery platforms have positioned themselves in such a way that they are extracting a pound of flesh from restaurants, customers, and underpaying their workers.

You saw the "look at your Mac and the screen appears" bit, right ?

Disclaimer: not a kernel dev, opinion based upon very cursory inspection.

The patch references the "scheduler clock," which is a high-speed, high-resolution monotonic clock used to schedule future events. For example, a network card driver might need to reset a chip, wait 2 milliseconds, and then do another initialization step. It can use the scheduler to cause the second step to be executed 2 milliseconds in the future; the "scheduler clock" is the alarm clock for this purpose.

Measuring the "current time" is pretty complicated when you're dealing with multiple-core variable-frequency processors, need a precise measurement, and can't afford to slow things down. The "scheduler clock" code fuses together time sources and elapsed-time indicators to provide an estimated current time which has certain guarentees (such as code running a particular core will never see time go backwards, it will be accurate within particular limits, and it won't need global locks). The sources and elapsed-time indicators it has available varies by computer architecture, vendor, and chip family; therefore the exact behavior on an Intel core 5 will differ from that of an Arm M7.

The patch in question changes the behavior of local_time(); this is the function used by code which wants to know what the current time is on its particular core. The patch tries to make local_time() return a sane value if the schedule clock hasn't been fully initialized but is at least running.

As you can imagine, there a lot of things that can go wrong with that. I think the problem is that sched_clock_init_late() is marking the clock as "running" before it should. I could very well be wrong. Regardless, it's pretty clear that there's some kind of architecture-dependent clock initialization race condition that once in a while gets triggered.

They are approved at up to 600 Watts in Germany, and that will probably get increased to 800 Watts soon. You can just plug the inverter output into an outlet. This is called "balcony power plants" here, and lots of municipalties are subsidizing it currently. You can't get net metering, but you can offset some of your load with minimal cost and paperwork.

I feel like the blackout isn't gonna be effective only because Reddit is just gonna forcibly unprivate the large communities and assign new mods. Pretty disappointing but not surprising. I know I don't have any interest going back there.
I think Discord is a stopgap until mods figure out the next platform to move to (e.g. Lemmy).

I view it as more of an addition to Reddit, rather than a replacement.

It's the right of each user to redact their contributions. If that's the only bargaining tool then it seems entirely reasonable to use it when the other party refuses to negotiate or even be remotely transparent about their motives. If this was really about money then why do we have such little insight into their financials? Could it be that they fleeced the investors and will lie as hard as they can to not be outed for the crooks that they are? It's the most likely explanation from my perspective.

There's no reason to prop them up. The information will be rebuilt quickly or it won't.

Same boat. One thing about the hotels though when your staying for-the-stay as opposed to work or sightseeing is that the food bills can rack up to more than the accommodation, swinging it in airbnbs favour cost wise.

Good point - actually not just a case of hidden power but also the sense of wonder at a hidden universe beyond what the eyes could see. Yeah, good shout.
> Pancake (MQP) versus Asperical Refractive Optics (AVP)

Guttag's section about the lenses not being pancake and being refractive only I think is wrong, Apple says: "combined with custom catadioptric lenses," which implies reflection is is used like with pancake.

(source: https://www.apple.com/newsroom/2023/06/introducing-apple-vis... )

> It should be noted that the AVP displays about 3.3 times the pixels, has more and higher resolution cameras, and supports much higher resolution passthrough. Thus the AVP is moving massively more data which also consumes power.

An earlier Sony presentation on their 4K microdisplays from last year I believe showed they had some form of foveated scan out on the microdisplay itself, letting the display controller move less data.

>Apple discussed (linked in WWDC 2023 video) how they implemented features in watchOS to encourage people to go outside and stop looking at screens, as it may be a cause of myopia. I’m not the only one to catch this seeming contradiction in messaging.

Isn't this less of an issue with displays at a farther distance (whether physically or optically)?

There is less vergence accommodation conflict as you age. You slowly lose elasticity of your natural lens as you age and need reading glasses to see up close and the effect isn't as big: you're at a wrong farther focus when your eyes are converging anyway. It might actually be an improvement in vision for people over 45-50.

For the majority of users, including most professionals, I think they absolutely will. What hurdles do you see?

Most people don't need high end workstations or gaming PCs. A good majority of the "heavy" work could technically be put into the cloud (or already is, for professionals).

While true, the tides are turning a bit here, at least for software technical writers. It's not uncommon to have a docs-as-code documentation toolchain where you're hosting all your docs in GitHub and serving them via static site. And most of the technical writers using these toolchains have no formal background in CS or previous programming know-how—myself included.

This is a really good point. Many people who want city life no longer need to be in the Bay Area and can live in NY. That does dampen street life and makes it less attractive for conventions or vacation.

SF was a place to cosplay city life for people who commuted into Silicon Valley. Recently the VC network seemed to claim it but that's by definition small numbers.

I can see some interesting approaches here. Given n threads/workers you could divide the search space into n sample points (for simplicity let's divide it evenly) and run the repeated test on each point. When a point hangs, that establishes a new upper limit, all higher search points are eliminated, the workers reassigned in the remaining search space.

Given the uncertainty I can see how this might be more efficient, especially if the variance of the heisenbug is high.
If you can't afford food delivery I wouldn't blame the delivery workers. They make near nothing (this bumps them up to a little more than nothing for NYC).

I hear a lot of complaints about food delivery prices. And I can't help but fight back a little because:

1. Food costs more. If you go to fast food or local restaurants you will see prices have risen. The cause of this is debated but it doesn't change the fact that food costs more.

2. Delivery workers work pretty hard to do what they do. Due to a lack of good American public transportation (especially outside of NYC) most delivery workers have to drive their own cars which is a cost that gets more expensive with time as cars have a limited amount of miles and tend to break down somewhat randomly with age.

3. Maybe most importantly, you don't need food delivered. Unless you're disabled, it's inherently an out-of-touch argument because there's nothing stopping you from making your own food or going to pick up food. It's a luxury, so I believe the prices aren't really that crazy if it means the workers can make livable wages. And if you're disabled, we should have better systems in place for you than saying "use doordash".

I listen to your podcast, thank you for the awesome content.

When I was younger and more idealistic I took a chance and got a bachelor's in music. It didn't work out, but when I later became a programmer, one of things I took with me was this idea of "total immersion" - e.g. just hanging around and listening/watching the more experienced people do their thing.

Nice to see that I'm not alone in this idea!
I suspect if various stakeholders (u.s. senate, various corporate interest groups, etc) understood the implications of the home computers, they would've not hesitated to ban and otherwise regulate them. Up until early 2000s home computers were seen as toys for nerds (people forget!), a perspective that I'm sure many of them now regret.

It seems odd that these workers are classified as independent contractors when they have very little control over how to perform their jobs, and are penalized for not accepting orders or not being given information about orders they are presented with.

Browsing various delivery subreddits has been eye-opening for me and changed the way I view these workers.
> Like, I understand we have the technology to monitor if grid disappears and self-disable, and a lot of hard-wired rooftop solar does that, but unsure if any soft-wired units have been approved.

Would you mind explaining this sentence? I know very little about these things but I'd like to, are you saying that rooftop solar switches itself off if there's no grid power? And if so, why?
Exactly. Didn't the same WWDC give us plenty of numbers (even if many were only relative) for the M2 Ultra?
Zoho Mail seems like a pretty cheap deal. $1.25/user/month 1yr commitment for their 10GB/user email + calendar + contacts support according to the website. It says it can do Exchange ActiveSync and IMAP for connecting. This is currently my target for migrating my few email accounts.

I'd love to hear arguments for another service that's cheaper than that for just a few accounts. I don't really want/need all the extra document collaboration tools other services provide and I definitely don't want yet another Google/Microsoft account.

Wrong. "Due diligence" is a term that's there for a reason.
This article correctly analyzes the game theory and incentives behind domain """investors""", but I would give it a different conclusion.

Domain investors are speculators -- producing nothing, merely throwing up a gate in front of something that already exists (the domain namespace) and charging others for access. This is about as close to the platonic ideal of a rentier as you can possibly get.

- They produce absolutely nothing, neither good nor service

- They reduce the available supply of an existing good

- They increase its price

The fact that they're incurring a risk for themselves does not absolve them of this fact.

The root cause of this speculative incentive is that the holding fee for domain names is too low. If it was higher (and even better, was made to be somewhat relative to the demand for the domain) we would see MUCH more efficient allocation of domain names, and lower prices across the board.

When something is necessary for production but very cheap to hold, it will be in short supply and expensive to buy.

When something is necessary for production but incurs a reasonable cost to hold, only those who actually plan on doing something productive with it will choose to hold it, increasing the available supply and making it much cheaper to buy.

Intriguingly, Vitalik Buterin wrote an essay about redesigning the economics of domain name allocation in this sort of manner (and note: does not require any blockchain/crypto tech to pull off)

Not coincidentally, 240W USB-C is 48V. It'll likely become fairly ubiquitous so I can totally see it becoming the power standard for things where DC is useful, like RV's and off-grid setups. 240W is enough to power a fridge with a slow start compressor.

I am not OP, but, I have successfully used the Micropython multithreading support. I believe it is marked as such in the docs since they are reserving the right to change the API, not because it doesn't work.

Hey, I wanna figure my stuff out.
Michael Liebherr, who runs the cleaning up podcast series and is a British Conservative politician as well as the founder of the Bloomberg Clean Energy fund, has been calling up electrified heating and industrial heating as the next trillion dollar investment opportunity. The solution there is mainly going to be switching from burning stuff to using heat pumps and other solutions. The reason the opportunity is so large is that there is a huge potential for cost savings there.

Heatpumps can deliver 3x or more energy back for every unit of energy you put in. Contrary to the popular belief there are almost no industrial heat applications that can't be electrified. The majority is rather easy and involves applications that require heat in the lower hundreds of degrees celsius. Easy. Heatpumps can do that. All you need is a good source of temperature gradient and electricity. You can go much higher than that with resistive heating, plasma heating, inductive heating, etc. It's just a matter of applying enough power to these things.

You eliminate a lot of emissions, supply issues and other logistics by doing so. That's where the cost savings are going to be.
Why are you proposing they chose the team because they were "smart" rather than because they "ship things", as per GP comment?
I think any discussion of the comparisons between CommonJS and ES Modules can be tough because "everybody" has already forgotten (or never learned in the first place) the lessons of AMD modules (and UMD modules).

CommonJS cannot run in the browser unbundled. Eventually the Node ecosystem built a lot of good bundlers that fake it well enough to kill AMD (and UMD) modules, but before all of that AMD (and UMD, which was basically CommonJS in an AMD wrapper that could itself run as CommonJS, and exactly the turducken that sounds like as a design pattern) was built to solve real browser runtime problems that CommonJS ignored or never solved: browsers are inherently asynchronous (downloading a JS file from a URL takes wall clock time more often than not); browsers don't have any view of a server's file system beyond the basic HTTP verbs on previously-formed URLs and to query for files even if it isn't to download them is still a slow discovery process; etc and so forth.

It was good riddance to AMD (and UMD) when bundlers killed them, but bundlers in turn gave too much of an impression that CommonJS was "sufficient" as people forgot the lessons of AMD modules. It kind of was sufficient, for a time, if you didn't mind browser code being trapped in bundlers and build processes for presumably the rest of time.

ESM took the lessons of AMD and applied nice syntax to them (writing AMD modules by hand was an awful experience, from personal experience; it led me to adopting Typescript 0.x in a past life before Typescript was even officially "stable") with further advantages that even AMD didn't support. ESM is async-always (and tree shakeable) and makes no assumptions about server file system trees.

Good riddance to AMD and UMD. I can't wait for CommonJS to go the way of that dodo and finally wish good riddance to "mandatory" bundlers for CommonJS dependencies, too. I'm glad so many frontend developers never experienced the pains of AMD that they've almost collectively lost the lessons of AMD already. I can't wait for CommonJS to similarly feel like a bad memory of an old nightmare.
