Generation after generation, hyperthreads on almost every generation of Intel core have turned in mediocre to terrible benchmarks. Neither thread makes full progress , and on some versions you would see more IPC with them turned off.

AMD might have managed better, though I see benchmarks where theirs is also a wash. It doesn’t mean Arm or RISC-V will see any benefit.

Art that isn't made to make the lives of those around it better, is dead, or worse. As someone living in São Paulo, those murals are one of my favorite aspect of the city. I love them. Not that it really matters, but those large commissioned artworks are very much how Da Vinci or Michelangelo worked. I have little doubt they would be proud and amazed.

They also reflect the sensibilities and thoughts of the artist in relation to the city and its inhabitants. I love em' :)

> This is the paradox of tolerance; you cannot be tolerant of the intolerant if you hope to foster a tolerant society.

The paradox is about unlimited tolerance, and the specific intolerance which aims to remove the liberty of thought. A society can (and should) harbor any kind of tolerance and intolerance, but must draw a line where forces grow which plan to remove this liberty, because then the tolerance ends anyway. But if you start becoming intolerant for any topic and reason, then you've already lost the tolerance.

This reminds me of 'Chicago Punch' theft of GM vehicles in the 90s with Saginaw steering columns. My father owned an impound lot and there were dozens of these a month coming through, so much so we had a few screwdrivers stuck in the fence as keys whenever we needed to pull one up. I imagine if we started putting those kind of exploits on AIM and got attention like TikTok does we would have seen these kinds of numbers 3 decades ago.

For sure. And I’m not writing off Threads being a popular app, just the notion that it’ll displace Twitter.

Even if I move all my pub friends to sit in the town square it won’t be the same thing.

What you are describing is a "developer doing devops" arrangement, or maybe some junior guy with an associate-level certification. A well paid Cloud Engineer is 100% expected to know architecture, Linux, networking and all the things you mention.
If 70% of 18 year olds make it to 40, then so long as 5/7 of them can survive another 20ish years, you have “most” people making it to 60. If we’re cool with a +/- 5 years on the “about 60” figure I think this tracks just fine.

>Craftmanship is a virtue, not a vice.

Exactly, ultimately we are craftsmen, not artisans. They are two very distinct things. The difference being that the value of our output is directly tied to its' functional utility, not any sense of aesthetic or artistic expression. You can take pride in the means used to achieve an end, but they ultimately must be superseded by more efficient techniques or you just become an artisan using traditional tools, and not a craftsman who uses the industry standard.

The Linux desktop is still a subpar experience compared to Windows 10+ or macOS - that said, it is definitely now a viable platform for "PC gamers" who want to move away from Windows for whatever reason - or eg. devs like me who use Linux to code and who may be tired of dual booting.

That said for me if it works 95% of the time, I still prefer dual booting. I spent a few months trying Steam on Ubuntu and it was great - I was surprised just how transparent the experience was since Steam handles Proton/Wine etc for you.

But after seeing limitations like Oculus software to do some Quest + LInk PC VR, or Steam VR etc. I was like, I 'm just going to keep Ubuntu as my daily OS to surf and code etc, and I will reboot into Windows for gaming. Then I dont have to worry about any of the small print.

But I am hopeful. Those are great developments and within a few years we might see all the VR as well supported with no hassle in Linux.

BUT... interestingly with the recent developments on macOS, and their own "proton like" API - the macOS platform may also become a viable one... who knows.. if it works with external GPUs for example.

You will never find yourself in a timeline in which you're not alive. Perhaps you've already died in all the other timelines; this is the one where you live long enough to benefit from life-extending technology and eventually immortality.
I'm not talking about inane questions like your work life balance. I am talking about questions about your product, your design decisions, etc.

If I am interviewing at a company I certainly want to know that I am not going to be working at a dumpster fire. I want to know how you internally resolve conflicts relating to code reviews for example, so I know that you uphold standards and dont just allow things to get progressively worse as time goes on due to systematic indifference. Now you could be lying to me but that's why I ask more than one question. Certainly to me it feels like if a candidate is asking these kinds of questions during an interview process then that candidate also cares about those things, which depending on whether you are running a java sweatshop or an organized and productive development company seems like it would have some importance.
That’s the idea but to know that an anonymous user who has clicked button A goes on to click button B requires you to track that user via some kind of random ID that uniquely identifies their browser/device. This new Swedish ruling says that ID is itself PI.

You sound like a Cartesian dualist. Consider the following:

1. Why should "human consciousness" have a teleological character, while everything else in the universe should be devoid of it? This means that "human consciousness" is different from the rest of the universe in some intrinsic, substantial way. Hence, dualism, and in the Cartesian scheme, this division is expressed in the distinction between res cogitans and res extensa. But then if human consciousness (or res cogitans) is distinct, then we can at least entertain the possibility of the immortality of personal human consciousness as it is not subject to the flux of the remainder of the universe in which things pass into and out of existence.

2. What is a law of physics? Where can I find one? Does it haunt the universe like a ghost, enforcing obedience to its will on otherwise inert "stuff"? That sounds like either another consciousness, or a third category of thing. Or it is perhaps just a convenient way of summarizing observed regularities, regularities that must be accounted for by, say, appealing to the the nature of a kind of thing? The difference matters, because now we must begin to talk telos.

3. How do you explain efficient causality without final causality? How can you account for regularity? If I strike a match against a matchbox, I can predictably cause fire. Fire is predictably the result, not the manifestation of an elephant or a cheeseburger or Beethoven's 9th symphony. The match is causally ordered in a way that, when the right cause comes along, the effect of fire is achieved. That is all that telos is, the ordering of things toward effect or end. The nature of a thing is realized--actualized--in the effecting of what it is ordered toward. (People confuse telos with conscious, deliberative purpose, but that is but a species.)

4. What is meaning? Do you deny that things are what they are, that they are intelligible for what they are? If you do, then what business do you have telling us what the universe and human consciousness is like? Are you a nominalist[0]? If so, what business do you have making general statements about the universe and human consciousness?

Meaning it could be the creative frugal solution for which they were hired, or that it was a good faith attempt towards same, or (in some analogous business situations, I'd guess not in this one) there's incentive to do appear to be doing something.

There was also PR value, including the appearance of being frugal, if there was grumbling about cost of the facility.
NixOS and GuixSD, much younger distributions in the same broad source-based package management tradition as Gentoo, also make custom kernels super easy to integrate with their usual package management systems while providing convenient, pre-built options.

Nevertheless, that was the 18th century in industrializing Britain, which was becoming a lot more efficient at agriculture etc. From many aspects, it was already a fairly modern society, with an emerging literate middle class etc.

Even then the mortality was still quite high compared to today.

And most agricultural societies before that were regularly swept by famines, which disproportionately took the young and the aging ones.

When judging historic lifespans, we tend to judge by the famous people. Cardinals, popes, kings, emperors. The population average was way, way lower, and the bones from churchyards tell the real story.
