In my experience, going into a downtown office for customer visits every now and then, dropping down to a couple days a week really does open up commuting options. The approximately 2 hour door-to-door time wouldn't be sustainable on a daily basis but really isn't that bad for a couple days a week.

I'm remote anyway and everyone I work regularly with is in a different city but if everyone/most people were local I really wouldn't mind having scheduled team days.
I wonder if the Flynn effect could be more about our cultural environment then our chemical environment.

In 1900 lots of people lived with low access to information or highly sensory stimulating environments. By 1950 there was a lot more stimulus and info. TV, comic books, color movies, rock & roll, fear of nuclear armageddon. By 2000 we're overloaded. Cable TV, computers, cheap and rapid long distance communication, fear of climate armageddon. Maybe the cognitive load has just become too much. Two beers might make you better at darts, but 20 won't.
I’m only familiar with Thailand if those countries, and $30/day is roughly $900/month, or 27000 baht per month in Thailand. That’s a pretty good income. I would bet the vast majority of people make less than that. Seems legit.

One that I guess would fit into the "little known" category would be Bear Pen Airport[1] in Brunswick County NC. The facility is owned by the NC Forestry Service for use in firefighting efforts. But as far as I know it's very rarely (if ever) used anymore. As the linked notes say:

- FACILITY USED BY NC FOREST SVC FOR FIRE CONTROL.

- NOT MAINTAINED DURING OFF SEASON; USE NOT RECOMMENDED DURING FIRE SEASON.

>Then the biggest pension generation voted that it’s pensions for me but not for thee and changed everything to 401k/IRA/Big Mattress and turned it back on the worker to figure out.

With very low cost target date retirement funds and near free index funds, there is no difference other than cutting out middlemen defined benefit pension fund administrators. All the money is going to the same place, backed by the same federal government.

The bigger problem is that while it is easy to vote more money into existence, it is not easy to vote more labor and materials into existence.
I used to work on Myrinet HPC NICs many years ago, and the ability for a PCI(e) device to access any memory by user virtual address was a desirable feature. I believe that Quadrics did this first using a patched version of DEC OSF/1 (UNIX, Tru64, whatever you want to call it), where they hooked into the kernel pmap (page table) code, and sync'ed the page tables with their NIC. That way the NIC could do the virtual to physical translations, and know if a virtual memory address was backed by a physical page.

What Nvidia is doing here sounds similar. Does linux provide such primitives now?

Australia had 22,000 deaths for these minor inconvenience imposed on them. Australians got to go shopping? There were rumors about people in China starving in their quarantined homes.

>Groceries 50%+ in the last 3 years. House prices are off the charts. Inflation that the government will blame on Russia, COVID supply shocks, aliens, but never their actions.

The cost of goods and housing and inflation have all gone up outside of Australia too. My US state did little Covid prevention besides allowing us to order alcoholic drinks to go; why are groceries and housing up in my little US city, not to mention the US Dollar inflation? Is it Australia's fault?

I don't think so.

The only thing that's been added is bank-groups in DDR4 IMO. But all you need to know is that modern RAM is maybe 16x to 32x way parallel per stick. The interface operates are faster than RAM can respond in time, so an "Optimal" CPU will list off 32x to 64x (32x for the first stick, 32x for the 2nd stick) read/write commands before the first command ever responds.

Understanding that mechanism is what that document is about (how CPUs coalesce memory and parallelizes requests).

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

GPUs have one additional coalesce layer given channel vs bank conflicts, and all that noise. But most GPU manuals (be they NVidia or AMD) will cover those details.
Holy smokes, my turbo-sarcasmo detector just broke! But yeah, that's more or less the TLDR of my point. The phrase "wrong abstraction" does some heavy lifting, but it's not a bad concept, even if largely a qualitative one. No one should use a single metric to toss ginormous architecture decisions - they're tools to inform educated judgement, not replace it.

Re: fork/branch shenanigans, no, you're right, that's not an optimal way to handle variance . . in a normal programming language. In the context of natural language, it's not the same kettle of fish, because, well, lots of reasons, probably the most prominent being the "messy unidirectionality" of NL that's all mish mished with its extremely complex grammar vs constructed languages. Chopping up giant documents into tiny pieces a la CCS[1] systems has made this a stew of problems, but for some reason Leadership is fond of the idea. It's not unlikely that specialized on-prem LLMs are going to nuke the CCS concept from orbit in the next five years, except for those cases where the CCS is a contractual requirement for doing the work.

Your home AC, sure. However... pretty much every facility with a physical plant (hospitals, universities, data centers, skyscrapers, factories etc.) uses cooling towers to dump heat from their internal systems into the environment.

Nearly all cooling towers require a constant water supply. Some water is recycled, but it is not anywhere near a closed loop system.
Tickets never stop. Most places I've worked have had ticket points expected to be completed per week or per sprint. It makes sense to only do that amount of work. You won't be rewarded for doing extra. Put your two years in and leave. Rinse repeat.
Ruby was more popular, especially when Rails exploded. It was great for scrappy startups, that didn't need Java level quality (and costly time) nor the risks of PHP 4.

The python modules eco-system lead to the stake change. Scikit-learn, Pandas and Numpy made it so useful for visualisation, research, old school modelling ML. Writing and saving files was simple. Making your own module took 2 files with 4 lines of code. How easy.

After establishing use cases in Python 2, which already allowed a lot of C code in practise for speed, Python 3 changed everything with a simpler language that makes it clear what is normal and weird. You might dislike [:-1] at first, but you definitely know it's weird compared to other languages, so you can know what to search for. Not true of abstractions in some other languages like Ruby, for migrating devs.

Then Python caught with Tensorflow/PyTorch a real wave of being the place to go. Kaggle involved 100,000s all coding in Python for data science in the latter half of the 10s. It did this at the same time as the LAMP stack and LAMP pre-installed VPS running cPanel were dying to React/node.js and PaaS approaches on the one hand, and big cloud providers on the other. So suddenly, there was not an easy default 'nix environment with PHP to rely on being available so easily, and adding python to an existing server is super easy (and Flask/Django easy to grep), making adding a backend for ML or whatever, very easy too. Ruby wasn't even on the playing field for many of these use cases.

I think a last small impact was that Ruby was misused where shell scripts could have worked. Many people made Ruby cli tools for their internal team, when shell scripts would have been fine - this frustrated some of their peers away from Ruby. There is no difference from Python here, but I just noticed it more.
I don't know if I would equate adult like with social skills. I was very comfortable talking to adults. I was a kid and knew how to behave fine. I was not comfortable talking to kids my own age who I didnt already know very well.

I would imagine any kid who is viewed as lacking social skills who attends a regular school would be worse off socially if they were home schooled. But I don't have any data to back that up other than knowing lots of home school kids.

But from the comments, is this to fix WSL ? If so, people should stay away from that and just use Linux. If the masses start using WSL, that would give hardware vendors the reason to ignore Linux on bare metal, thus no more desktop Linux.
At 46, I am taking a one-year Sabbatical and I can assure you it’s refreshing. However, I don’t see most people being able to take one - both financially and mentally.

Many people are lifers on a job, and the prospect of being out of their job for 3 months is scary at hell to them. They feel they won’t be able to reconnect with the market. Not everyone in society is the HN crowd, switching jobs for better paying alternatives every few years.

On the other hand, even though I had prepared for 12 months in advance having “stuff” to do on day 1 of my sabbatical, I can say the prospect of waking up on day 1 and not having a job to go, can be overwhelming for many after a few weeks. After a few months, you become terrified you are being left behind in the market, even if not the case.

I try to learn from this so when retirement hits me in 20 years I can be more prepared for the required mental adjustment. I have seen my parents generation taking a toll on their health by stopping cold turkey and feeling irrelevant in society…

Swiss military is a really interesting topic from so many perspectives. With such a high percentage of the population trained and involved in the military the terrain was also supposed to massively aid asymmetrical warfare. Holding mountain passes with light troops if need be.

There were even some books that were discussed to become regular army manuals and had to be vetoed by the chief of staff.

Good point -- one thing that would be interesting would be a postmortem at some point from a group of CEO's or somebody "in the know" who is able to get to the root of the issue so we can go beyond speculation. These people are typically in power positions that don't require explaining so often we get phrases like "I've thought hard about it and I've made a decision", where the real reasoning is left for people to guess at. Probably the main data we will eventually get will be when there are 2 companies that are in similar areas where one is full remote and the other has big office buildings in a downtown someplace.
This article does a good job of explaining how failure modes/alternative usages can make that definition fuzzy: https://www.csemag.com/articles/understanding-overcurrent-pr...

Practically speaking, any intermittent device that _can_ run continuously or can fail to a continuous needs to be considered as such for safety purposes.

For example, a fridge should only run the compressor intermittently, but it has two obvious cases where the compressor could run indefinitely:

* An influx of heat, like filling an empty fridge with room temperature cans.

* A door being left open.

In the case of the kettle, it will likely be evaluated against it's "nominal" draw after the initial startup. If the auto-off sensor were to fail, it could run continuously at the tempurature.
I feel that same way but I wouldnt lump that in with social skills. When I went to a public high school we didnt do a lot of sitting around and hanging out. We went to classes.

Basing class structure on difference from the societal median is a bad idea. It means making the entire country except a few poorer grows the "middle" class.

There are three classes: Struggling, comfortable, and rich. If paying for necessities like transport, housing, and food requires significant efforts to manage cash flow or is even impossible, you are struggling. If you don't know when your employer pays you because you haven't had a cash flow problem in a decade, you are comfortable. If you don't have an employer because your wealth comes from things, you are rich.

Part of the problem with the flat buttons you touch is that you can't really tell where they are. A dial was much easier for her to understand than trying to manage to remember where a dozen buttons are and what order they're in.

We got the microwave with the dial after she accidentally microwaved something until it caused a fire in there which flooded the room with smoke and was so bad I had to simply throw it out.
i wouldn't create a base class until there are a non-trivial amount of common properties shared by several classes and i find that i am adding more such common properties. and when a class appears that doesn't have one of these common properties, then perhaps it makes more sense to move that one no-longer-common property out of the base class back into the individual classes so that again i can have all classes share the same base class.
Modular is mainly focused on improving AI related workflows as its business model. That market is easily many $billions, and I think most expect the AI industry to experience explosive growth.

Who here is running a production system without redundant or backup power?
The counterfactual challenge is brutal, too: if we don’t do anything, the impact on food production will be far worse but if we don’t let it happen first we’re going to be plagued with people saying it wouldn’t have been so bad.
I’ve still had income during the 18 months. I’ve been doing small freelance websites and also consulting for a friend of mine that owns multiple auto repair businesses.

I helped him adopt a new CRM and completely changed his SOP for his shops all from my computer.

Now I’m aiming for something that will allow me to progress as a web developer. I started coding in the 90s with HTML, QBasic, and IRC scripting. But I chose to pursue a careers in the trades because there simply weren’t any development jobs in my area back then.

I made a decent career out of construction which has allowed me to comfortably be at home for 18 months while handling smaller tasks when I wasn’t busy with my son or remodeling our home.

I will add that being a full time parent was far more stressful than anything else I have ever encountered in my 21 year career.

The point isn’t the interface though it’s the implementation. And if many of those things are implementing the same search functionality slightly differently, you’re back to the same spot, except now your bugs are spread across multiple sites, often with duplication.

The underlying issue is just that correctness is hard I think.
SEC keeps insisting that “the law is clear” and they’re just enforcing the law. That their job isn’t to explain the law to people, or how exactly to behave to not break the law. Their approach is “if we think you’re breaking the law we will take action, and things will get hashed out in the courts.”

It makes sense that the SEC probably does not have the resources to explain to anyone engaging in any securities activity exactly how to behave, but crypto is untrodden ground and they could have provided more guidance there.

It's just an anecdote, but I can say that the two groups of people who I'm primarily connected to, are on one hand a bunch of academics and on the other a bunch of work from home writers and techie types. These two groups overwhelmingly favored policies of lockdowns and masking.

I am personally of the opinion that an ounce of prevention is well worrh a pound of cure, and so don't have any philosophical problem with either of these policies in the appropriate measure. But I can't imagine getting behind them in such an emphatic way as a lot of my colleagues and peers did. In hindsight is quite obvious that one of the causal factors for their enthusiasm was simply that they were not affected by the consequences to the degree that almost everyone else is.

Academics typically do not have a rigid nine to five schedule and often only go on campus for classes, or to work in theor lab where everyone's often wearing masks anyway. And work from home folks obviously are in a similar situation in terms of the impact these practices have on their productivity and lifestyle. So it was quite easy to support this stuff given their particular circumstances. I'm very disappointed in the inability of some these otherwise quite smart and seemingly perceptive people to take the place of others and understand why there could be legitimate non-ideological reasons for pushing back on the intensity of some of these policies.
TBF, I remember reading that they have actually been the most solid airline since COVID, statistically. It's a bit of a fudge, because they achieve it by basically doing some unreasonable things (like not cancelling anything, even if delays get in double-digit hours); but they do top some stats. And most other airlines have sadly followed them in the race to the bottom in terms of economy comfort, while keeping their prices unreasonably high.

The whole sector is shit but I honestly don't know how it could ever be fixed.
That is the exact opposite of what RFC 7606 says. As it explains in its introduction, it deprecates session reset in favour of treat-as-withdraw in most cases, unless there is an explicit exception to the general rule.
No, it's assuming a device running a ssh daemon with something mounted rw or user-modifiable[0] that can hold an authorized_keys file. A NetBSD embedded board that configures sshd with `AuthorizedKeysFile /sdcard/config/authorized_keys` would be fine, for instance.

Yes, but I also had that very same experience with Perl, Ruby, Tcl, and Java during their peak heights of popularity, that they were pervasive and problematic. I feel the landscape of operating systems architectures were much more diverse, and the frequency of software releases and permutations of version combinations in the layers is larger than ever before.
