No, the default Homebrew install location moved to /opt/homebrew on new Apple Silicon Macs.

(I don’t know why Intel Macs still use /usr/local.) In any case, it’s possible to choose a custom installation location, even on Intel Macs if you prefer.

The funny part is that, in another article on the subject, it's said that the Louvre had absolutely awful security back then: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/stolen-how-the-m...

With multiple art pieces being stolen, it's also partially a matter of luck and publicity that Mona Lisa was so singled out to become a legend.

> "Performance" is relative to the times.

The performance I refer to is relative to inflation-adjusted dollars.

Relative to the times, obviously, people at every time do exactly as well. You would be measuring a thing against itself.

> Back in the 60s good performance meant a union job with a pension and building a house by 25.

Most people the 60s didn’t build a house, and, if they did, didn’t do it by 25.

> None of the things in that sentence even exist anymore for the vast majority of people.

Private sector union jobs and private sector pensions are far less common, and that’s a big reason why Millenials (and Gen Xers) without a degree are worse off than comparable Boomers and earlier.

On the other hand, college educated Millenials (the majority) are doing better than college educated Boomers, despite being a larger share of their generation.
How would you measure it quantitatively though?

I know for me, I solve problems much more quickly when I can walk over to my co-worker's desk and talk it over. Or have someone walk through a problem with me on the board. Or just random stuff I learn from water cooler conversation triggers thoughts in me that help me move quickly on a problem.

But it's very difficult to quantify these things. If these things were tickets, I would track their time to close, but they're not.
I don’t know enough about Hurd to say, but as an example MINUX found its niche as the control software for Intel’s management system. As a result MINUX is/was more widely deployed than Linux for a few years. Still might be.

The only way to solve the obvious crisis is to follow Japan model, make the real estate a depreciated asset rather than appreciated, especially when most North American houses are also made out of wood similar to Japanese ones (unlike other countries where it’s made of cement and concrete).

I'm most familiar with the C-130 but I believe it's common on many types: the pad is replaceable but in order to do that you have to remove the entire brake assy, which means it's more efficient to just slap a new assy on and send the worn one to 2nd line to be rebuilt/overhauled.

Often that 2nd line is subcontracted out.

Google Meet used to be pretty bad a few years ago but it is totally fine now. I use it every day for work. I trust Chrome's hardening more than most other apps including Zoom.

Edit: Ok actually some Meet complaints: Weird useless white space in the UI. Doesn't put people's faces at the top of the window closer to the camera (will push them to the bottom and put screen share above). Very annoying settings UI. Generally doesn't work well when the window is small. No floating window option. No option to rearrange participant tiles. Probably 100 more like that, but it's still tolerable.
Pretty damned small. We're seeing 15, 30TB SSD modules cropping up left and right now. Unless there's some really amazing other considerations, 256 GB seems insignificant.

Also, CXL 3.0 turned 1 years old already. And it's such a vastly more interesting spec, where rather than being a purely host-attached subsystem it actually allows switching. This feels incredibly behind the times, not just in terms of capacity, but in terms of ecosystem capability.

I'm very pscyhed for CXL. And I think Micron as a company has enormously great shit to do. But this aint it. This is so damned uncompelling & uncompetitive.
Just one example: Google Meet's virtual background is terrible compared to Zoom.
Do you have any idea on what the ballpark cost is to do these replication experiments I keep reading about? Or the more complicated experiments you mention?

Asking out of curiosity as I would have assumed it's very expensive but there seem to be many groups of varying sizes doing these and quite quickly which I would have thought would be extremely wasteful but may suggest it's more economically feasible than I had thought.

You're saying that, if this had been real, the stock market would have known about it before the scientific community? How exactly?

Blocking the people who are coming in to help train and troubleshoot to get the plant open is about as dumb as you can get.
I sincerely hope the campaign is being orchestrated by rival chipmakers who want to see the plant never open. Because that’s what will happen if the plan succeeds.
I guess it depends on region. I've been using Google meet, zoom and teams and by a large margin teams provides the best conference experience(best audio quality, less interruptions etc). Shitty web app and lack of desktop app on Linux notwithstanding.
I am using Teams and I don't know what feature people are missing from the video call functionality?

Like...all these products do video calls fine. They all seem to work. What's the killer feature that one has that the others don't?
GNU Hurd for example. I haven't used it so I'm not sure of the exact status but it sounds like they are using it in some cases to make use of existing drivers in a microkernel style. There have been a few attempts to rumpify Linux but it doesn't seem like any of them succeeded and I'm not sure if anyone is still trying.
I never understood this line of reasoning. If you want to shed staff, don't you want to control which staff you shed? A RTO mandate just means your best staff leave because they're the ones with real options.

It's the simplest thing you can do, short of LFS. Packages are vanilla; the user is expected to do all configuration in the way intended by upstream. There is no dependency resolution for packages; you typically do a full install of the distro, and install any extras via the method declared by upstream. Nothing is obscured, no hands are held.

Surely just a small handful of folks donating a few bucks through patreon or whatever, could keep the site ticking over with no ads.

I like whereby.com. Simple, clean, with fixed urls for rooms.
I had the opposite experience, I tried to attend a Google Meet recently by using my Linux PC and Firefox, and could not get it to work at all. So I changed quickly to my iPad and Safari, also no go. My friend using Chrome on Windows on the table just next of mine could attend just fine.

Zoom just works on both of my devices.
Before the pandemic, I feel like the norm was to leave your home at whatever time was necessary for you personally to get into the office at the time that meetings are generally happening (at my company this was 10am, usually for standup).

One thing I've noticed on my team as we talk about returning to the office, is that now ICs seem to think about the commute as taking away from their total working hours in the day. Whereas before, they thought of being "on the clock" (so to speak) when they arrived at their desk, now, in the minds of a lot of folks, the clock starts when the commute starts.
Just a thought, but may be they shouldn't have started a war of invasion then.

Not stealing western planes would be good too.

The dynamic and parking brakes use different actuator systems, but rely on the same rotors and stators on the undercarriage. Those are the consumbale parts that are sanctioned.

In general it is permitted to dispatch an airliner with one or more brakes unavailable, depending upon load and airport conditions, but it's meant to be an interim measure pending brake replacement.
Jokes aside. Them being remote could be a huge selling point for them. Building software for remote workers, tried and tested by everyone in the company who makes it.
Apparently Microsoft was granted this patent on rANS in early 2022 (https://patents.google.com/patent/US11234023B2/en) and Google deprecated JPEG XL support late 2022. JPEG XL uses rANS, so I think there's some likelihood that this motivated Google to change their focus. Google didn't mention anything about this in their reasoning, but would they have mentioned patent issues publicly if that were the real reason? Google isn't obligated to tell us everything and the reasons they gave always felt weak and weirdly dismissive.
So do layoffs.
Google Meet is a lag-party on various laptops. And bad video quality as well.
> Relative to the times, obviously, people at every time do exactly as well. You would be measuring a thing against itself.

My point is that "relative to the times" captures a lot of the crucial things worthy of comparison. The fact that menial, what would now be considered "gig" jobs, in the 60s and 70s all were W2 and all had unions and pensions, many of which are still paying out to this day, is a gargantuan difference to how things are now. It's something you can't simply ignore.

Imagine an Amazon warehouse worker making enough money working fair hours to build a house and then live off their pension for 30 years. It would be physically impossible in our current timeline. In this timeline, even tech workers don't have benefits that will last beyond their 2.5 year tenure at whatever startup, and those lucky enough to have equity have no guarantee that it will be worth anything for more than a few years.

The favorable circumstances of yesteryear are gone, and that's the elephant in the room that any charitable analysis of this absolutely needs to quantify and address.
Surveys - need to baseline, first, though
It is a VM though with a light weight VMM

This would very explicitly apply to buyouts (paying people to quit) and voluntary layoffs as well, but at least in Canada those are pretty common.

It should. You're not in the car for your benefit.
This is why you don't create a MS account. At some point they always get you. Same on any mobile OS, which are a tragedy for themselves.
I treat it as Chrome-only (or Gmail app on mobile), just like Zoom effectively only works in the Zoom client. It seems like in typical navel-gazing fashion Google only tests in Chrome.
Unfortunately, this conflicts with basic tenets of how capital and free markets work: if you deny capital a market competitive return then the capital quickly moves elsewhere. For private housing, that means squalor and slums.

Market competitive returns for housing need to account for taxes, maintenance and management, vacancies and risk. This needs to EXCEED stock market returns or prospective landlords put their capital into the market. Already, the US quietly subsidizes housing returns with tax policy including 1031 exchange, tax deductions for every conceivable expense and more -- and even then, residential real estate is risky, illiquid and a hassle vs just buying ETFs.

This also affects builders: if they're starved of returns, they're quickly starved of capital, which means no new housing.

Public housing can be a nice solution: compete with the free market by offering a low cost option devoid of the capital constraints. When this works, you get Swedish housing, when it doesn't you get NYCHA. It's worth nothing that neither one has kept up with demand, with very long waitlists. Neither system supports transfers out of region, which destroys social mobility i.e. great inventors/etc are not able to develop themselves and do great work because they can't afford to move. All of these is theoretically fixable, but extremely hard in practice.

Overall Findings

Overall, the NYSDOH inspection teams found hazardous environmental and health conditions throughout
the NYCHA system. Approximately 83 percent (212 out of 255) of all units inspected contained at least
one high severity environmental quality hazard. Inspection teams found similar issues in building common
areas with 75 percent (48 out of 64) containing at least one high severity hazard. The top three high
severity issues found in NYCHA units were insect infestation (mostly cockroach infestations), issues with
walls and/or floors and the presence of mold growth.

I have been a part of this community for 10+ years, I’m not sure where else to go.

I have come to the realization that I’ll never live up to my potential or my hopes and dreams.

I’ll never be a Stanford MBA. I’ll never be a YC Founder. I’ll never be 30 under 30.

I’m a no-name failed startup founder with absolutely nothing to show for my years and years of work.

My last startup failed miserably.

I don’t even believe in myself enough to try again.

I have a loving family and make north of $300k a year, by all accounts, everything should be great.

But I can’t shake the fact that all of this is completely meaningless.

We’re all completely fucked due to climate change anyhow.

Why is life even worth living anymore?
Who are "they"? Civilians who have to fly by plane because they have no other option?

>Replicating other people’s work however is not my responsibility

so you want to do science.... which requires there to be replication.... but somehow it's not your responsibility to replicate anything? last I checked the scientific method has to be followed through all the steps to be valid, not just the ones that you personally like
Because ”it works” trumps ”it’s ideologically sound” for most users.

Zoom is a really great product, they’ve really worked hard on the basic ”join a meeting” user experience. At least a few years back they provided every meeting with a custom installer(!) that deployed Zoom, then automatically whisked you into the right meeting.

The competition has improved by leaps and bounds, but most products used to be either super enterprise-y, requiring seven MSI files and two reboots to get you to a meeting - or super open source, bleeding you to death via a thousand paper cuts
I think if you dismiss HA setups of SQL dbs as "you won't get around to operating it properly" the same ops culture will also end up getting many less 9's availability than aspired to with Kafka.

(But also of course lots of applications are also fine with the availability that you get from fate-sharing with a single db server)
This is based on the idea of said negotiations being made in good faith in the first place, when in reality it's nothing more than the media conglomerates wanting to shake down tech companies.
Not the parent, but I have some ClickHouse experience. ClickHouse is surprisingly easy to deploy and setup, talks both mysql and postgresql wire protocols (so you can query stuff with your existing relational tools), the query language is SQL (including joins with external data sources, such as S3 files, external relational databases and other clickhouse tables), and it is ACID on specific operations. It assumes your dataset is (mostly) append-only, and inserts work well when done in batch. It is also blazingly fast, and very compact when using the MergeTree family of storage engines.

Development is very active, and some features are experimental. One of the common mistakes is to use latest releases for production environments - you will certainly find odd bugs on specific usage scenarios. Stay away from the bleeding edge and you're fine. Clustering (table replication and sharding of queries) is also a sort-of can of worms by itself, and requires good knowledge of your workload and your data structure to understand all the tradeoffs. Thing is, when designing from scratch, you can often design in such a way where you don't need (clustered) table replication or sharding - again, this also has a learning curve, for both devs and devops.

You can easily spin it on a VM or on your laptop, load a dataset and see for yourself how powerful ClickHouse can be. Honestly, just the data compression alone is good enough to save a s**load of money on storage on an enterprise, compared to most solutions. Couple this with tiered storage - your hot data is eg. in ssd, your historical data is stored on s3, and rotation is done automatically, plus automated ingestion from kafka, and you have a data warehousing system at a fraction of the price of many common alternatives.
Surveys capture stated preferences, not revealed ones.

Capturing sentiment is useful in itself — it is a kind of data point.

But to really see the productivity difference you need an instrument based less on what people say, but what they actually do.

Thanks, I’m more than fine with torrenting, especially when digital copying is not stealing, it has no material consequence. If someone downloads content illegally they wouldn’t have bought either way, the net sum of knowledge/pleasure increases in the world.
It’s like halfway between a true contranym and just a change of the verb’s object.

Like, you could say that Victor Ninov fabricated Element 118 in 1999, and also say that Element 118 was fabricated by scientists in 2002.

Both true statements! But of course I made sure to word them that way. You’re much clearer by inserting “evidence” in your sentence, thus saying that it was the data that was created, not the thing.
