Its not (just) about software support.

The Deck uses a special, low power (specifically targeting ~9W), graphics heavy AMD SoC. It was actually the first of a new laptop CPU line that AMD seemingly canceled:

AMD coincidentally had the right CPU at the right time. Intel and Nvidia had nothing comparable for Valve to use. In fact, the successor to the Deck chip is kinda an existential problem, as AMD's CPU-heavy laptop line (including the Z1) is less suitable.

How so? Legacy admissions will continue.
I find this opinion piece of low quality. But if there's one thing we can learn from it and the overall media response and public response is that the world is starting to disbelieve Elon Musk, because they've seen too many instances of him lying or bending truth out of shape.

Which is healthy, because he's taken advantage of spin and outright falsehood too often in his career. It has helped him gather capital and talent to push multiple industries in new directions, but it's becoming an increasingly toxic relationship with his investors, customers and fans.
You can have typed indices (https://lib.rs/crates/typed-index-collections), but unless you force the collection to be a singleton, there's no way to prevent mixing of indices between different instances (clones) of the same collection type.
Is it really the case the recruiter cannot deny to tell the range? In my personal experience, they were always reluctant to tell anything.
Pretty stupid to think one should make NFL one’s career, then. Odds stacked against you 10000-to-1, with dire consequences for failure and, worse, CTE is virtually guaranteed if you succeed. It’s all-around stupid from every angle you look at it.

Yet tens of thousands of children are being guided toward this “career” by their parents and guardians. It is disgusting.

you’re either living under a rock or just close to believe people are lying about how they’ve used it?

Oh, absolutely. People are absolutely lying to themselves. OpenAI's and DeepMind's systematic testing of their code-geneator LLMs make it very clear that those systems produce incorrect code the majority of the time. The best results reported are 28.8% for Codex (in perpetual preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2107.03374) and 29.6% for AlphaCode (preprint: https://arxiv.org/abs/2203.07814 Science, paywalled: https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abq1158) and the latter is with their special 10@k metric which basically means the LLM gets 10 guesses.

I have definitely observed people convince themselves online that CoPilot or ChatGPT even is helping them "improve their productivity" or some such. It is obvious that they are fooling themselves, badly. If you push them, they immediately say "oh yeah, it makes mistakes, but I can correct them" etc. So they just feel like it's useful, even when it's just making them do more work.

In fact, that's exactly like homeopathic self-delusions: people use it because it makes them feel better, not because it has any measurable benefit.

Btw:

Automated CPU Design with AI
Bus to the station would have the same effect. If you live near the station but need some other mode of transit to get there in a timely fashion, that’s easier to justify. If everything else fails, you can just go home.

If there’s a failure on the other end, you’re not exactly near work, and you’re much further away from your home now. Part of dealing with public transit on a regular basis is dealing with it failing: bus came 5 minutes early and you missed it and the next one is 25 minutes away; bus gets taken out of service; bus is too crowded to take new passengers; somebody jumps in front of a train. Whatever it is, you’re now subject to depending on a system that has failed you. There’s some psychological comfort in being able to just go home.

And unlike with the office, there’s less pressure to get home on time at a time when you would normally be out anyway. You just call in and make the walk back if you have to, or maybe get on the bus back if one is available.
That's extremely archaic and specific, and most people wouldn't know about it. I suspect that, if explained, most people would find it off putting.
> And I know the reason - ads and SEO.

Wrong! At least in the case of Python. The main reason Python search results are so bad is that the official documentation is really badly organised. People literally can't find the answers they want there because everything is on one mega-page with a bunch of unrelated concepts. So Google ranks it badly.

The author's example ("python iterate over dictionary") is a good one. I tried that search - doc.python.org is NOT IN THE RESULTS (at least for the first 3 pages).

It's not hard to see why - the closest answer I could find is here:

https://docs.python.org/3/tutorial/datastructures.html#loopi...

but it's on a page that also talks about lists, tuples, assignment expressions, nested list comprehensions, etc. No wonder people don't want to read all that!

And it doesn't even answer the question what `for x in somedict:` does - for that you have to go to this mega-page:

https://docs.python.org/3/library/stdtypes.html#typesmapping

and see that `iter()` is "a shortcut for iter(d.keys())".

Compare it to Rust "rust iterate over hashmap".

The 4th result is https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/collections/struct.HashMap.htm...

It's just about hashmaps. The example at the top has iteration over one.

In Holland foldable bikes were the main way to solve that for a long time. Last years on-demand ov-fiets (public transport bike) were created to solve that. Around 4,8 euros for 24 hours. Really impressive and great system and most larger station have enough to serve most people.

However I think at least in Holland the electric scooter (step) will transform this market. Beyond easy to take. Only 200-300 euros. Goes 25 km per hour.

Main issue is Dutch law got strict after few incidents with new vehicles. But e-scooters are amazing vehicles for this. Although bikes are better for health. New e scooters are coming to the marketing and I think will transform the way we transport.
The most mature React-like library written in Rust, Yew, is slower than React, as the chart shows. Meanwhile the fastest frameworks are minimal JS / vanilla JS, including the fastest framework, mikado.

Either way it's clear that even a compile time language with no garbage collection can't get faster than the DOM itself allows, which is the crux of my point. In theory a compiled language should run at least twice as fast as JS, but it's not the case in the browser.
I understand why you, as someone who's hiring, do not like the article.

> There is no "money on the table" that you can get from me by just asking the right order of questions. I want to know what satisfies you based on your lifestyle, what you heard from your friends, and what you saw online. I don't want to play mind tricks or be played.

Asking people to give their number first is you very much playing mind tricks. I don't want to play mind tricks, I just want you to pay me fairly.

As a hiring manager, you have more of an insight into fair compensation than I do based on my lifestyle or what I heard from my friends. And you also want me to compromise my negotiating position by telling you a number first?
This is actually pretty funny. I coded javascript for a solid ~18 years (I stopped about 3 years ago) and the majority of the concerns in this list are from the past 10 years. What I find glaringly absent, which would have been present if this were written in 2013, is the absence of polyfills.

What other things that were JS nightmares in 2013 have largely ceased to exist? (Only to be replaced by this funny list.)

This is my favorite part: "You stop to count how many tools and parsers work on your codebase: TypeScript, esbuild, swc, babel, eslint, prettier, jest, webpack, rollup, terser. You are not sure if you missed any. You are not sure if you want to know. The level of pain is so high you forget about anything else."
I've written many times that the consistent censoring results makes it ripe for competition.

I firmly believe that many of the algorithm changes for choosing results are based upon ideology, and a desire to push commercial things down below the first page as a money grab forcing people to pay the ppc auction extortion.

Which means worse results for most searches beyond 'local shop open / phone number' - google, the new yellow pages.

New smaller, niche engines; less censored, more federated is what I'm looking forward to.
Lisp isn’t too difficult to learn. The syntax is off-putting to some people, but what helped me adapt to Lisp syntax quickly was my familiarity with RPN calculators; I used an HP graphing calculator in college and I regularly use dc in Unix. In my opinion, the best way to start is to learn Scheme and work through The Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, which is a very nice read even for experienced programmers. Scheme is a nice small language, and many undergraduates have written Scheme interpreters in Scheme. After mastering Scheme I recommend moving on to Common Lisp, which is a large language with many features that are not common in more popular languages, such as conditions for error handling, the Common Lisp Object System and its support for multiple dispatch, the metaobject protocol, support for image-based development, and support for REPL-based development and debugging.

Breadcrumbs is arguably an English word that only makes sense after you read the Children's Story: Hansel and Gretel. Where Hansel and Gretel use breadcrumbs to find their way back home (except not really, cause the birds eat the crumbs and so they get lost).

-------------

I've been told of various Chinese phrases that have similar story-driven meanings. Ex: "Pour more oil" is something to do with Sima Yi filling the torch of Zhuge Liang in the tomb. Sima Yi, a lifelong enemy of Zhuge Liang, is somewhat expected to defile the tomb, but instead honors his fallen enemy by pouring more oil and keeping the light going.

I forgot what "pour more oil" means in Chinese, but its something to do with respect, even respect towards a sworn enemy.

------------

English has "Breadcrumbs", "Sour Grapes", "Break a leg"...

Actually, English also has "Adding fuel to the fire", which is almost the opposite of the Chinese meaning.

I'd be more interested in what the numbers look like after they've accounted for admissions I would call "extra-academic". If they want to reserve 50% of their admissions for specific reasons, I'm fine with that. If the other 50% don't appear to be inline with their stated goals, then to me that's cause for concern.

Expecting Harvard to forego legacy and faculty admissions and scholarships to students that maybe wouldn't get in otherwise is expecting Harvard to not be Harvard, which may be expecting too much.

The effect aspartame has on the gut biome before it breaks down into the safer constituents is still a large gap.

This comment, maybe unintentionally(?), encapsulates the cultural angle of the article pretty well.

Suburban Americans, with exceptions, consider the "origin" of a trip on public transit not where they originate from, but where they get out of their car, because the sparse urban transit systems and job locations are oriented around extending car capabilities. It is easier and less stressful for an American to drive part of a commute and ride one train than to drive none of it and risk missing an infrequently operating transfer that strands them far from home.

Suburban Europeans, with exceptions, do not do this, because their denser urban transit systems and job locations are built around foot or transit access. It is easier and less stressful for a European to ride the train all the way because, even if a transfer is required, it is more likely to occur closer to home and with a more frequently operating service.

So, transit proposals in the United States that propose solutions based on European models without recognizing this American trait – often deeply rooted in experiences over years of bad transfer experiences in places that have transit, and operating against a cultural car-friendly bias in places that don't – are less likely to succeed.

Or, as the article puts it:

> To the extent that this relates to American commuter rail reforms, it’s about coverage within the city: multiple city stations, good (free, frequent) connections to local urban rail, high frequency all day to encourage urban travel (a train within the city that runs every half an hour might as well not run).
It makes me wonder of the 43 students who passed, how many achieved significant breakthroughs or Nobel prizes?
This is it! Thank you very much :)

Rail has a decent value proposition against single occupancy ice cars for commuting, especially American monstrosities.

But the EV revolution isn't "just cars, but electric". EVs are much more flexible as a platform because the batteries are already manufactured in a highly scalable flexible form factor: the cell.

Ultimately an ebike, escooter, e kei car, are going to be cheaper, faster, more convenient, environmentally better, and less infrastructure intensive.

So the article seems to reflect an old battle mindset: ice cars vs rail. Imo both are obsolete already, pending scale up of high density sodium ion and lfp cells. And if sulfur gets commercialized at 2x the density?

This doesn't even account for convergent infrastructure and self driving tech which has the ability to utilize transportation infrastructure to a higher degree than is possible now.
Yeah, what have universities ever done for society?
Banking apps et al have decided that without remote attestation, they do not want to expose the functionality their customers expect from them. Mostly because of confused threat models, and banks being banks are often erring on the side of safety. And chat/socials just want to evade the bots.

I think you're probably overestimating how much most people know or care to worry about setting custom do not disturb settings, although that's just my anecdotal guess based on interactions with friends outside the tech space. Also, I'd consider myself pretty on top of tech (enough to run cyanogenmod/lineageos/grapheneos) and have a custom DnD schedule, but I had no idea setting it per contact was an option until you hinted that it might be. I've been wanting that for a while so thanks for letting me know, but also I'd imagine most people are very unaware of that option still.

ChromeOS takes the Gentoo Linux, and improves its sandboxing and verified boot. Those exist in Linux distributions too, but are not as complete. On the other hand, chromeOS is cloud based, and collects tons of telemetry. ChromeOS is not as secure if you enable the developer mode. There is also far more malware for iOS and Android, compared to the desktop Linux. Apple’s operating systems are closed, thus insecure against Apple and governments.

Overall, I think one would be better off on a Linux distribution. Definitely more private, equally secure against not-so-sophisticated attackers, while the edge that Google’s and Apple’s operating systems have in security won’t stop well resourced adversaries either (as we have seen in iPhone hacks).
