No. But I didn't think it was that bad in the first place. They offer a product for a price. As a customer, I'm free to take it or leave it based on merits. I'm not familiar with this model, but at least one thing must be true.

1. A competitor offers an alternative product at a better price. 2. Sennheiser produces these more efficiently than anyone. 3. All alternatives have similar margins. 4. No other manufacturer has a similar product.

Whatever the case may be, it will inform the rational comparison shopping process. This is a discretionary item. There's probably some economics name for this, but it's not insulin. Sennheiser isn't coercing anyone.

I understand what you're trying to say. However, this is not technically correct, and people who are not technically inclined may believe this to be correct.

The truth is that you can use the same computer across many different networks, or even on the same network with a refreshed dynamic IP address, and such a table wouldn't allow the cross referencing you're suggesting.

For a username -> ip address table to provide this functionality, the users would need to access the site from the same IP address, not the same computer.

It's worth noting that the table would become polluted by things like public wifi, shared home internet, VPNs, etc. as well

Sounds like we're in complete agreement then. The hierarchy starts with walking (which it sounds like your city is too spread out to be a useful means of transport) then biking, then public transport.

Unless your city also has a public transit system that is sufficient enough in coverage and timing to replace the need for anyone in your city to own a car, in which case... Please send me a direct message with the city name, I don't want the secret to get out before I move there.

Also, don't discount the impact that zoning and parking requirements can have on the ability to have communities like this. Does your city have a collection of parking lots occupying valuable real estate in your downtown? Land that could be used to build a valuable business or multi-unit housing? Yep - that's mandatory parking requirements. Does your city have a lack of neighbourhood businesses and restaurants, leading to the necessity to travel by car to big box stores in a spread out car-centric shopping center away from any other part of the community? Yeah, that's because of zoning laws.

These laws can be changed, but cities have already been built entirely around the automobile in most of the US - there has to be a specific push to enable alternate lifestyles to be a possibility. Otherwise, the only viable lifestyle revolves around four wheels and two tons of steel.

I feel like the strongest issue I have with Jira, and the one that most often trips me up, is that so many features and settings are global, and aren't the minimal set. For a sufficiently large org, you need a high degree of rigor around things like Labels and Epic naming, or you end up with labels of "production" "prod" "Prod" and "PROD" and no one knows which one to use.

It only gets worse when you're working with addons - half of the UI of any ticket is things I have to go hide because one team integrated Figma with Jira and now it shows up on every project and ticket.

You're making a shaky assumption yourself that the Apple headset is lighter, despite all reports to the contrary.
I am pretty sure you're making a clever pun, but I would suggest the word "natural".
No way! Yes e-bikes should be below bikes, but they surely belong in their own tier above taxis. They use up so much less space and energy than a car does, not to mention that they open up cycling as an option to a whole class of people who can't easily cycle due to disability, age, whatever.

Don't get me wrong, I don't want a moped weaving around me in the bike lane, but that actually has never happened to me, whereas as taxis and ride-share cars definiely HAVE taken up the ENTIRE bike lane.

Plenty of cyclists don't have helmets, either. Is that affecting you?
> My gut reaction is honestly, no, people still aren't going to want to walk around with digital goggles on their heads, regardless of whether their eyes are visible on the front or not.

My interpretation here is that they're expecting it to only get worn in public on planes and at some high-nerd-quotient workplaces, but trying to prime the pump for 5 or 10 years down the road when they have a version that's as light and comfortable as (actual, not exaggerated) ski goggles with a battery that lasts as long as a current phone.
Yes, but why not also sell an iClip that lets you attach the battery to the back of the headset for $99? I might wait for the Belkin one, personally.
> to fund extensive rail networks

You don't really need to fund extensive rail networks, just rail networks that get to a large enough share of the population to make it worthwhile

The vast majority of people don't need to go from anywhere to anywhere else in their countries every day, if you live in or around Philadelphia (first name that came to mind, no clue how good their transit system is) it doesn't really matter that there's people in Montana (again, I think they're fairly sparsely populated but not the point) who need to drive two hours to meet their neighbors

Looking at a population density map of argentina I don't see why it'd make more sense for them to invest in highways to nowhere rather than railways between the population centers. (Within reason of course, I'm not advocating for not maintaining infrastructure to less dense areas at all)

https://luminocity3d.org/WorldPopDen/#5/-37.736/-70.972

When you look at where people actually live the US is not that different from France or Poland and might even be in a better place for rail interconnections than Spain or Sweden
There's no "exploration" here... The argument that an LLMs output can be deterministically calculated as a sum of matrix multiplications and non linearity is not evidence that LLMs are conscious/understanding either way.

In reference that LLMs "don't understand anything and are stochastic parrots over their training dataset" refer to in context learning, llms can be taught new concepts not present in their training data.
Have you seen "An Infinitely Large Napkin"? I saw it posted here a couple years ago. It is Evan Chen's project "aimed at making higher math accessible to high school students."

https://web.evanchen.cc/napkin.html
The repository in question, based on the email from Mike Blacker, sent to gmp-devel[1]:

https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds

There's a bunch of build variants here, for various platforms, in different ways. Classic "you have to create the cartesian product of all variables" approach. Here is the single build matrix for a single "Build FFMPeg" job:

https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/actions/runs/530351117...

You can look through the code and see that each of these will trigger a download.

The developer also added an interesting commit today, stopping forks from having the CI work instantly. Why? Because by default they would all share the same cron entry, and therefore launch all at the same time every night. So now new forks will need to go in and tweak/spread the Cron timer around if they want builds of their own

https://github.com/BtbN/FFmpeg-Builds/commit/78191a73a6a1959...

But there are already over 700 forks of this repository, so the current path is unsustainable.

So in short:

- This isn't an "attack", and it's unclear of the direct volume, but anyway, it doesn't matter because ultimately gmplib.org had strain caused by it.

- GitHub correctly identified the responsible user when asked, and it did not in any way seem malicious, but certainly excessive.

- The build/CI infrastructure for this project definitely hammers the project more than it probably should, exact specifics aside.

- The owner of the project put in place a small (future) mitigation for future forks, but for now IP banlists will probably remain, I'd guess?

- Please try to cache things more aggressively in your build jobs.

Can you recommend a couple good boards that fit this criteria?
Just because they are “certain” it will fail doesn’t mean it will. Often the leaders of a company are more entrepreneurial than the ICs so it make sense the beliefs would behave this way. In my 20 year career it’s often happened that I thought something was doomed to failure and yet it succeeded. So I don’t put too much stock in my own predictions.

And anyway a bullshit job should be bullshit because of the fundamental work of the job, not because of a specific risky project it’s doing for a specific time period. Like all the devs laid off this year didn’t have bullshit jobs just because their companies are fine without them.

Learning x86_64 Assembly by Building a GUI from Scratch
A Audi/VW mechanic I know put it best "They all mostly use the same parts so maintenance and repairs cost the same...might as well buy the one that sells for more used"

It depends on what you want. If you are planning to resell the car after a certain length of time the best bet is the Audi. If you are buying used and want "close" to the same performance buy VW (Audi has higher power, often different suspension, better sound deadening and way more options).

In my case...I bought a used VW. So I didn't take the advice...but I don't ever plan on reselling. I repair cars myself and run them far longer than a typical person does. By the time I am done with my car it will probably be sold for scrap due to miles...even though everything will likely be replaced at least once.
Sounds like GitHub actions should be caching clones of foreign Git repos.

Americans that became millionnaires by doing nothing other than chucking a bit of their paycheck into a 401K each month, are likely to have spent their working lives in a period when financial markets were growing as more and more Americans joined the labour force.

The growth of your portfolio then wasn't entirely dependent on earnings and growth, like it is now. Portfolio values grew by a lot simply because more and more people were being added to pension plan contributions each month. Things were so good that pension plans used to be "defined benefit"-oriented, meaning a certain return % was guaranteed.

The new generation of workers on the other hand get "Defined contribution" where the only thing guaranteed is how much of your paycheck they can take.

There was an LA Times article about this that was discussed here:

This is possible, but the power to enforce patents is in the courts, and not in the patent bureaucracy. Having a single group that can invalidate parents on a whim is different to that.

And patents can be useful, although I don't have many examples. SawStop is one, though, where even a 20 year patent doesn't seem to have been long enough to establish a successful business before incumbents swoop in. Patents like that are pro-competition in that scenario. Otherwise why bother starting a new business when your R&D effort can just be taken advantage of by someone else as soon as you hit on the answer?

In Portland it's actually worse than this. The areas that have built or maintained sidewalks are generally rich areas. The city puts sidewalk construction and maintenance on home builders and has an exhorbitant permitting scheme.
Construct 3 would be my suggestion.
I wouldn’t have thought of that.

I was more interested in learning about the possible theory behind such a limit, to see if we had a way to actually know how far such optimisations can go. Basically, for any given file, what would be the absolute best we could hope for (without resorting to losing information).

1) Make him come up with the projects to do. Use brainstorming techniques. Only help by guiding, not by telling him to do specific things

2) Build your similar own projects as well

3) Try with electronics. For that age group I have had good succes with MicroPython on ESP32’s + various sensors/actuators. The first thing I do is connect an LED strip with RGB LED’s and let them play with that.

4) Find him peers with the same interest. In that age peers are better partners. You can still help facilitate a bit, but the best would be to find a Coding club.
There are 2 questions here: 1/ can you afford it?

I would say go for it if financially this has virtually zero impact on you, but also be realistic about ever using it.

Hell to the nah.

Sennheiser is the last decent manufacturer of headphones. Everything else is literal garbage (especially headsets, which prove that there's some law of physics by which if you add a microphone to a pair of headphones the entire thing will fall apart in around a year).

I just hope they stay in business. Logitech's gotten way more of my money over the years as I've bought replacement after replacement headset once they invariably break down, as well as proprietary lithium batteries that literally last a fraction as long as the rechargeable AAAs in my Sennheisers (which haven't even ran out once in over a year of using them ~15 hours per day)!

That’s in line with the response I’m used to get from cybersecurity teams at the large company I work for. It is neither reasonable nor appropriate in tone but I have got used to it being apparently the best they can do/can be bothered to write.
It's a computer. There are many legitimate reasons for the computer to control the throttle, from implementing a top speed governor when the car is in the hands of your children, to tuning the engine for unusual environmental conditions, to interoperating with aftermarket vehicle modifications.

"Remotely" is just how the code gets installed. But installing updates for any of those features over the air is perfectly fine when authorized by the owner of the vehicle.
This is obviously an emotional topic for you, and it is distorting your view of how incentives and commerce work. Your view is akin to the archaic supply-side views on drugs or taxes.

I was optimizing some code where, for reasons, many threads had to aggregate data in a shared data structure. Each thread would have a small buffer, and when full it would acquire a lock and aggregate.

While fooling around I had the idea to exploit that not all atomic operations are equal. So I added an additional "contention" flag. When a thread wanted to aggregate it would do an atomic read of the flag, if it was set it would bail[1] and continue to accumulate to the local buffer. Once done aggregating the flag would be reset after unlocking.

Effectively this was adding a single-iteration spinlock before the "heavy" lock, but even using CriticalSections for the lock on Windows (which does spin before acquiring a mutex lock) it resulted in clear improvements, especially when running on machines with more than 8 cores.

[1]: It would bail unless the local buffer grew too large, so slight memory vs perf tradeoff there.
I’m so glad you went digging this up
This is why I stayed out of the game. I saw so many unhappy outcomes in my social circle that I figured my chances were not going to be very good.

The typical family lifestyle is not for everyone and the propaganda pushing it is very strong from day 0. It took me about a decade to get over the feeling of "I am a piece of shit" for not participating in the circus that most of us think is perfectly normal and/or mandatory.

Each city has a decent metro rail system but definitely not up to western European standards. Boston's in particular is woefully in need of maintenance despite its importance in the city.

The rail connecting tbe cities is not very good. It costs upwards of $100 for a BOS->DC ticket and takes a day of travel.
It's totally reasonable to say that it isn't malicious and they aren't going to stop it, but it's unreasonable and unhelpful to add "seems like your servers just suck". They also missed or failed to mention that there are 700 forks of the project running the same thing at the same time.
When you’re setting up a new server, it shows you a bunch of default Libraries for their own media. Unselecting them then should remove them from your list. You can also edit your Libraries list later. Managing Libraries is a pretty import part of Plex UI (and Jellyfin for that matter)

If you don’t know which library on the list to click on or drag around, maybe you’ll have a hard time in general.

>Self-study is a road with very little guidance to understand which part is more important to study, and which just needs to be understood so the pressure to make sure one knows everything makes it difficult to progress at a consistent pace.

Part of it is that there's also the question of what your goal is.

If you down an MIT CS+EE degree curriculum in OCW, you're actually not going to have a huge amount of programming except as a byproduct. If your actual objective is to learn front-end development, I'm guessing you won't actually have learned that by the time you're done. I'm guessing most people looking for a self-directed CS bootcamp don't actually want a "CS" bootcamp.
The actual quote is: "If the Treasury were to fill old bottles with banknotes, bury them at suitable depths in disused coalmines which are then filled up to the surface with town rubbish, and leave it to private enterprise on well-tried principles of laissez-faire to dig the notes up again (the right to do so being obtained, of course, by tendering for leases of the note-bearing territory), there need be no more unemployment and, with the help of the repercussions, the real income of the community, and its capital wealth also, would probably become a good deal greater than it actually is. It would, indeed, be more sensible to build houses and the like; but if there are political and practical difficulties in the way of this, the above would be better than nothing."
I thought people sometimes used forks just like another form of star. Save the repo for later review. I have so rarely seen any commits or changes when someone forks my public github repos.

It's weird to think about github actions crons in the context of this pattern. A casual "I'll mark this to check out later" could result in lots of billable computation.
