If you take away the word “workstation”, this is what many dev environments already look like: a mini version of the production, which includes restrictive network rules.

You use the internet from your laptop, not the workstation.

Also, the article is using “air gap” wrong - it refers to an actual physical disconnect, which is not what this is. Only some firewall rules are apparently getting changed.

Thunderbolt isn't a port type, it's an interconnect. You can read a summary of this here:

https://www.reddit.com/r/UsbCHardware/comments/1225cru/how_d...

But, the takeaway is, you wouldn't see a "thunderbolt" port separate from a USB-C port; the physical interface doesn't differ, just how the data is marshalled along the wire.
> you can surely list reputable studies

Dude neither of us have ever read a scientific study about climate change. We are both going on bullshit we read online and related to experiences we had in corporate land. Maybe I read more right-leaning stuff so I have a more counter opinion. Don’t pretend any of us are fact checking the magical climate science, we aren’t.

The one thing I actually have firsthand experience with is computational complexity. And after thinking about it for a while, it seems plausible to me that we cannot know the scientific prescriptions we see in negative climate coverage with nearly the definitiveness that they claim.

And it also seems plausible that a lot of people gradually managed to form a doom and gloom committee to find doom and gloom in a noisy world where there aren’t that many definitive answers.
Devils Advocate: the issue is that theres no OEM ARM drivers afaik.

I am quite convinced Apple would have loved to throw in a Radeon GPU in their mac pro, but the limiting factor is the drivers themselves.

You can effectively use eGPU docks for other PCIe devices, like 10GBe cards or NVMe enclosures. Its a waste of space though.

FWIW, I have a razer chroma X and I cant even fit modern GPUs into it anyway.

They may be referring to the study below [0]. This showed that several genetic variants (lineages) of SARS-CoV2 were identified in infected people associated with the market, indicating 1) that the virus was already circulating among people before the epidemic took off, and 2) that there was more than one transmission event.

Note that no comparable data associates SARS-CoV2 with the lab in Wuhan.

[0] The Huanan Seafood Wholesale Market in Wuhan was the early epicenter of the COVID-19 pandemic https://www.science.org/doi/full/10.1126/science.abp8715

>we inferred separate introductions of SARS-CoV-2 lineages A and B into humans from likely infected animals at the Huanan market (38). We estimated the first COVID-19 case to have occurred in November 2019, with few human cases and hospitalizations occurring through mid-December. [...] the evidence presented here that lineage A, like lineage B, may have originated at the Huanan market and then spread from this epicenter into the neighborhoods surrounding the market and beyond.

Edit: Additional study:

[1] The molecular epidemiology of multiple zoonotic origins of SARS-CoV-2 https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.abp8337

>We show that SARS-CoV-2 genomic diversity before February 2020 likely comprised only two distinct viral lineages, denoted “A” and “B.” Phylodynamic rooting methods, coupled with epidemic simulations, reveal that these lineages were the result of at least two separate cross-species transmission events into humans. The first zoonotic transmission likely involved lineage B viruses around 18 November 2019 (23 October to 8 December), and the separate introduction of lineage A likely occurred within weeks of this event.

Well said. I don't necessarily think that PHP can and should only do HTML rendering. Laravel for example includes a nice job queue which in my opinion makes perfect sense, as it is tightly integrated with the rest of the system, even if it's technically not what PHP was designed to do. But if you have to ship the interpreter and an entire browser just to make it work, maybe it's time to consider other options. And yes, that applies to JavaScript Electron apps as well. I can see the value in them from a business standpoint, but the amount of wasted PC resources just bugs me a lot. I don't want to waste 1 GB of memory just for a chat client.
There are some downsides to this kind of barebones design at the end of the article. The Razer enclosure (and many others?) include a power supply (and presumably fans?) as well as an outer casing that hides the cables and protects from dust and other hazards (i.e. making it safer to move around than an open design).
I'm thinking of cases where the pdf is accessed over a network. Like integrations with systems that do billing, invoicing, taxes, tickets to a game, rent receipts, pulling pdfs from your email, pulling pdfs from S3, almost everything?
This is all from an investor point of view. Most people dont have the time or knowledge to dedicate to research for good investments. The reality is that most working class people do not invest their money or at least not in the real investment sense. They might put it into an investment portfoglio that is handled for them by the bank or another investment institution, most of the time in the low-risk portofoglios but in no way that downpayment can generate any meaningful income.

But I see now that things must be really different in the US because many people keep repeating (insurance, maintanance, property tx etc). Where i live in europe the the difference between rent and mortgage price is insignificant. let say for example 600Eur/mont rent vs 700Eur/month Mortgage. Insurance, property tax, maintencance are insignificant in comparison to the yearly cost of either rent or Mortgage.

How does one overcome “Computer Science Learning Plateau”?
I've reached a point of no return in my learning computer science journey. I know little bit of basics, but advanced stuffs in computer science I really don't know. By advanced stuffs, I mean subjects taught in 3rd and 4th year of typical CS degree(which are also called core CS subjects in some parts of the world, subjects like Operating System, Database,Computer Network, Artifical Intelligence etc).

I'm really bothered by it. I want to learn Computer Science. I'm already graduated though. But I graduated from almost a degree farm(I didn't know when I joined), so my graduation doesn't mean much.

About me, I find Electronics part of computer science easier though. I finally want to study OS, DBMS, CN, DSA, AI etc like taught in college level course and I want to do it right. Feel confident in my learning. How do I do it?
No[*], but the monthly payments get more affordable. The principal doesn't change but if you're paying 3% on a mortgage and possibly getting a tax deduction on that interest so it might effectively be more like 2.5%, then you can decide to pay that down more if you're earning more on other investments.

[*] It's arguable that low interest rates cause housing prices to rise, since more people can afford monthly payments on more expensive houses.

My guess is that apple juice would fare better than cider vinegar. The vinegar to me sounds like someone's idea of making it seem more chemical, more like a cleaning product - but this is just a mechanical trap, you could use anything, just a piece of whatever they seem attracted to even (e.g. extract from compost caddy).
You're on the money. Strategies don't scale. This is an observation many outsiders (and disenfranchised people with the market) often miss. You can do really dumb things as a retail investor and get away with it because you don't impact order flow. It's arguably harder to generate 1% of 100,000,000 than 1% of $100,000.
I've never sat down to do the mapping, but I'm pretty sure almost all the networking concepts and modules in AWS have a more or less direct counterpart in GCP.

Which is not surprising, because most of them also have a direct counterpart in networking standards themselves. They're both essentially just views into the world of software-defined networking.
This is a feedback problem.

Most users of statistics have their results validated not against reality, but in the eyes of other users of statistics. This means if the process you follow sort of looks right, the result will be accepted as true, and you will never learn otherwise.

Finance people have a much more nuanced understanding of statistics, because their use of statistics results in red or black numbers at the end of the year.
Which will occur first, irreversible worldwide climate catastrophe, or the technological singularity? Either way, the 2020s will be the most pivotal decade in human history.
There's a danger in that sort of activism, and direct intervention often results in backlash. It's very hard to protest capitalism on the consumer side. It rarely works for protests that directly affect the consumer and I've never seen it work for proxy fights.

I find it funny to use "both sides of the aisle" in the context of the French political system.

> Usage of the term "aisle" comes from the United States Congress. In the Senate, desks are arranged in the chamber in a semicircular pattern and the desks are divided by a wide central aisle. By tradition, Democrats sit on the right of the center aisle (as viewed from the presiding officer's chair) while Republicans sit on the left.

Anecdotally, I ran an experiment with Envoy to see how far the number of signing keys could scale. This was for a B2B “API Key” auth solution; we wanted user keys to be self revocable, but just be a relatively standard JWT format for maintainability. The hypothesis was that, rather than running a whitelist or blacklist, we could improve the security signature by have 1 signing key for each JWT.

When we ran some stress tests, turned out Envoy could happily run with ~300K signing keys in its JWK Set before noticeable service degradation occurred. Even then, by bumping up the memory on the validation servers, there was a small sacrifice of a few ms per extra 100K keys.

This makes me fully agree that, for many applications, there’s probably an opportunity to vastly improve the security surface by bumping up the number of signing keys dramatically.

As long as both Keys and Signing keys define a KID, key verification is prefaced only by a hash table lookup or a tight loop through a keyset to find the appropriate Signing Key, before the slower verification procedure.

Most of the value produced by workers goes into the pockets of corporate overlords.

By your own logic, abolish corporate profits and for-profit housing, and let every worker enjoy huge benefits and retirement.

> Now that the situation is not the same, it means each pensioner will get a little less.

The unfortunate problem being that anything beyond downloading a program and making an identity is too high of a bar for the average person on the Internet.

>Just because something is legal doesn't mean it's ethical.

As long as a country is governed by rule of law, the only form of justice that should have any standing is legal justice.

Ethical justice, more commonly known as social justice, has no place because that flavor of justice is going to vary wildly depending on the individual passing judgment.

None of this is to say legal justice is inherently "right", laws can absolutely be malformed or otherwise unsuitable for purpose. But so long as the laws say something is "right", that is legal justice.
It's cheap because it doesn't come with a case or a PSU, and appears to only be available through AliExpress (not necessarily a bad thing, but could make manufacturer support tricky).

A case might be nice if you prefer not to have a bare GPU on your desktop and if you want to slow down the dust buildup. SFX power supply units appear to run you about $100 for something like 650W. The power delivery is limited to 60W (in terms of how much power it'll deliver to charge a laptop), which is sufficient for many laptops but probably not all of them (I think the last generation of Intel MacBook Pros might want more than 60W).

What about a system that could encourage partial retirement into part time service industries or consulting? Or to working at non-profits, subsidized by retirement funds. Of course this is already the case, but if it was formalized it could continue to help offset the retirement gap and provide a meaningful opportunities to retirees, and retirement could be seen as an opportunity to pursue a long sought secondary interest or make a difference, rather than being a net drain on society.

There are numerous cornaviruses that infect humans as well as bats and birds, and have done so for thousands of years at least. Animal-to-human transfer of novel viruses is by far the most common cause of novel epidemics.

This 2008 article in Wired does a good job of explaining how aggregation, in theory, enables bundled mortgages to create a 1+1=3 situation:

I looked up Tillamook, first reaction was that it doesn't even look like cheddar - but then I noticed the 'Maker's Reserve White Cheddar'. Why is artificially coloured the default?! 'white cheddar' makes it sound weird/fake/some strange variant, when all it is is that they haven't added colouring to ingredients list.

The non-'white' ones look like red leicester, which is a bit like a mild not very salty cheddar, and that colour.
if you have a loan of 1m at 1% interest (yes, that was the interest in Denmark before covid), then you can sell that loan for 800k and refinance with a new loan of 5% interest.

in turn you cut off 200k of your loan.

This technique obviously only works under the assumption that the interest rates are going to drop long term, so you can refinance back to the lower rate later (which all of the people who made the trick believes).
Pensions schemes as invented in the 20th century are essentially ponzi schemes which are fundamentally unfundable. If you are born in the West after 1980 do no expect your government pension to provide any sort of significant income after retirement. Especially considering the demographical changes in the western world - there will not be enough workers paying for the retired population.
It feels like this cannot fly in the EU already though. And if they someone found a way around the regulatory, there will be amendments to shoot it down.

The entire premise of 'people want expensive to make websites, but don't want to pay for them' is already a bit flawed. I do pay for youtube to not see ads, I wish I could pay Google (and Meta) to not serve me ads on any site including Google search, they have ads on. That would make life a lot nicer. And I personally know no-one who would not sign up for that. But that doesn't happen, I guess because ads make more (not from me, but he)?

Thanks for posting the link so I could see the article.

I did only skim it, and I'm surprised.

I don't think it's an unreasonable criticism for 1997. But that's over a quarter of a century ago.

He accepts CO2 is probably released by humans and apparently at a rate the sinks can't cope. He accepts that CO2 and other greenhouse gasses can lead to warming.

But says that the data thus far had not borne out global warming was happening.

That's not unreasonable for the time.

25 more years of data and there is plenty to suggest that there is a global warming effect significantly contributed to by emissions.

What is unreasonable is to take a theory that is that good axiomatically (he accepts all its assumptions as clearly evident) and say let's not look into this anymore. That's bonkers given the stakes.
What better way to dismiss someone’s points than to call them a lunatic.
> The reality is that most working class people do not invest their money

To the extent that this is true, it's not a good reason to subsidize mortgages. It would be much better policy to encourage people to invest in diversified and productive ways, rather than leverage themselves to the hilt and sacrifice their mobility for a risky bet on endless property appreciation in their local neighborhood.

> But I see now that things must be really different in the US

Well yes, the whole article is about the problems of the subsidized 30-year fixed mortgage. Europe doesn't subsidize 30-year fixed mortgages in the same way, so things are clearly quite different.

I really like MiniZinc, especially that one can test a lot of different type of solvers for a problem.

But one of its drawbacks is its limitation of handling input and output (including preprocessing and postprocessing). In some cases - for example when the output is rather simple - I use for example Picat/Python to transform input to MiniZinc format (.dzn format or JSON) and then run MiniZinc.

But for more fancy output I tend to use Picat or Python + (OR-tools CP/SAT or CPMpy or minizinc-python).

That being said, one can do fancier output in MiniZinc, though it requires some work. Here is a model for certain scheduling problems which exemplifies this: http://hakank.org/minizinc/scheduling_with_assignments.mzn . But the output was a little easier to do in Picat: http://hakank.org/picat/scheduling_with_assignments.pi
