That's a daydream. NVidia never played nice with OSS. People still use it and are doubling down on CUDA.
He's incorrect, unless it was a single receptacle. Meaning one outlet, the typical top/bottom (duplex) receptacles don't count.
Right, they absolutely should fight for equal representation.

The numbers aren't always going to be exactly equal to representation, sure. But when you have a group that comprises 40% of society only represented by a half percent in prestigious university faculty positions, you need to step back and figure out what's going on there. These people are not genetically different or of lower intelligence; they've literally been not allowed to hold these positions even if they wanted them and could be qualified for them.

Frankly, your point of view is advocating for bigotry and oppression, and I suggest you re-evaluate why that is so.
This is one of the reasons I use privacy.com for signing up for services about which I am not sure of the cancellation process. I have outright "cancelled" a virtual credit card several times now.
How heterogeneous do you mean? But basically, "yes".

IBM had CICS transactions back in the day for some definition of heterogeneity. Tuxedo did this in the 80s across broader platforms. In the 90s (when I heard of it) there was an open standard created for it: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/X/Open_XA so that Unix-y type systems had some agreement on how to do it without buying mainframe/tuxedo-y type components. And around or a bit after then, Microsoft created its own "Distributed Transaction Coordinator". This is not my area of expertise but I've heard about it throughout the last 30 years.

The NoSQL side of heterogeneous is newer than the 90s but even there, I found in 2 minutes a paper from 2006, 17 years ago, on the topic: https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Akon-Dey/publication/28...

This is definitely a wheel that gets reinvented.
So they can step down or get primaried (etc) by people who have full control over their faculties.
I did this sort of thing quite a lot early in my career, but stopped quite a long time ago. The problem is that I started using multiple machines running different OSes, and not all of those machines are "mine", so I couldn't have these sorts of specializations everywhere.

That turned a positive into a negative when using machines that didn't have these optimizations.
FYI, GeForce Now also works fine on a plain old Chromecast with Google TV ($30), which you can connect standard Bluetooth controllers to (say, Xbox controllers or leftover Stadia controllers with the firmware upgrade). The Shield is a luxury version that does basically the same thing with more horsepower. I imagine you can use any similar device (like an old Android phone or an old laptop) for the same purposes... if it can stream Netflix, it can run Geforce Now.

The main downside of GFN is that it's a publisher opt-in, and many games aren't available on it . But for the games in its catalog, it works REALLY well -- so much so that I much prefer it to the dedicated gaming desktop I used to have, because it's so much quieter and cheaper (both in terms of an upfront hardware purchase and in electricity costs, between the GPU itself and needing to cool down the room).

There are also services like shadow.tech and AirGPU that let you run virtual Windows boxes with a GPU, cheaper than you'd get from AWS or GCP, but able to run any game you want.

This is true of course, however I can't imagine living thinking that and not getting depressed/insane.
I like the concept of time legs! Time is a weird concept to nail down anyway, since it's relative, but from a single perspective there is only the perpetual "now". We can remember times that happened, but aren't "now", and we can conceive of a time in the future that is also not "now".

We just need to figure out how to affect our relativity without needing to go insanely fast or being swallowed by a gravity well. Easy task...
Designing deep networks to process other deep networks
Well you don't know me but I am not a scrum master and I was on a team that had a great experience with it and are all still friends years after we all went to other jobs. It was the great experience of my life.

I know how it worked and why every team I've been on since has not been able to make it work and it all boils down to:
1) internal sabotage - an influential developer does everything they can to shit on it.
2) Management interference - developers could not change the things we needed to change to make it fit our circumstances.
cool idea, but the implementation seems to not scale.
For all of AT&T’s flaws as an ISP, their billing has been quite boring and amazing. I’m charged $0.55 in fees on every bill and that’s it. So I pay $55.55 each month, pretty consistently for the past 20 years or so.

The bandwidth is mediocre and I could switch to other companies but just finding the price was hard because there were activation fees and equipment fees and state and local fees and an fcc fee and some random fee they decided to add that changes from month to month. It was so weird. And also odd that they would have different state, local, and fcc fees that att didn’t.
Yes, S3 is extremely reliable and versioning protects against “oopsies.” I do always recommend disallowing s3:DeleteObjectVersion for all IAM roles, and/or as a bucket policy; manage old versions twith a lifecycle policy instead. This will protect against programmatic deletion by anybody except the root account.
Ask HN: What niche task/tool websites have you built?
For example, I made a website which helps to find good cities for visa-free international meetings by estimating the cost of many people with different passports traveling from different places.

I will not link to it here suffice to say that it only got 1 HN vote likely because it is not useful for 99% of people.

What niche task-oriented / decision making websites have you built to completion? Especially, if you shared it previously but it didn't do well.

Folks, if every single instance of communism has ended up being a shit-show, maybe it's not that people are doing it wrong. Same with Scrum, obviously.

I use linux as a daily driver since probably around 2006, but to say it’s a replacement for windows, it’s just not the case, your example for “readiness” is video games, a lot don’t care about that but rather other productivity software, Adobe suite and Adobe acrobat, MS suite, some CAD/3D software, a lot of engineering software like simulators and what not, and you either have crappy alternatives (like anything to replace adobe) or none in the case of other software. That’s why I still have Win10 on a non-upgradable CPU, and as long as I can run these software there, will not update.
Ford's Blue Cruise lets you take your hands off the steering wheel. It only works on highway sections that have been pre-evaluated, but that's now almost the entire US Interstate system. Mercedes Drive Pilot also allows hands-off operation, but only at lower speeds. It's more for traffic jams.

> By all means let's dig into what specific details of the implemented methodologies work well and which don't! But taking the output of that process and calling it "Real Scrum™" will just lead to further confusion.

I’m not saying “Real Scrum™” should be the name of the output. I’m saying that diagnosing the problem is obscured by not distinguishing between “what is in the Scrum Guide” and “what someone is doing and calling Scrum”, especially as the latter can be a diversity of mutually incompatible approaches.

Define "god". If we are in a simulation, are the simulators gods?

Seriously, though, this is literally unknowable. We do not know - and possibly cannot know - where the universe came from. However, looking at the sheer size of the universe, supposing that we have any special place in it is sheerest hubris.

If there is a "god", we are still nothing special, just more stardust...

This is poster child for the fact that not only is caste discrimination real, but it is full of entrenched people engaging in denial and propaganda to the level of Confederate "black people benefit from being slaves".

If you re-read my comment you'll see I already addressed this. Not having a test is better than having a flaky test.

The team should feel the pain of having their shit test skipped without them being able to stop it and it's up to them to either fix it and bring it back or cope.
Wages for those will rise accordingly, benefitting local nurses (but raising costs for nursing)
This is a recurring theme with MattY's work. He takes any statement by a company or government body at face value and turns it into ammo for a certain political agenda. His position as a hot take generator in favor of centrism (in the US political context, so read it as economically neoliberal and culturally soft liberal) means he often avoids criticism due to his banality. But he has no useful insights at all, especially when he is working off of corpo/government propaganda.
Perhaps, if you value being a mercenary.
I just wish their Apple ID interface is faster though. It seems to be a Webview and takes forever to load and update. Last time when I clicked on cancel on a subscription, it appeared to do nothing for 10 seconds, until the subscription information suddenly updates to show that it's indeed cancelled. I imagine people who aren't quite as patient as me, or who think that the Apple ID screen is stuck, will click on things in a rage and perhaps even wrecking things.

Heck, even trying to pay for something takes forever. I clicked on an in-app purchase button and then it showed a spinner for 30s before the Apple "touch your finger here to confirm purchase" screen appears. After confirming, nothing seems to happen until a minute later.
TBH I'm not a huge fan of results given by ChatGPT. I often found several mistakes, not only in programming. When you ask ChatGPT, then to check its answers you must google it anyway, I feel like you waste more time. In addition, I prefer fixing problems by myself. That's why I try not to use 3rd-party libraries so much when I'm learning a new language or framework. When I get familiar with it, I start using them obviously.
>>explosive munitions. Good luck acquiring that without raising any flags

Not if you were a bit precocious in HC chemistry; I know my friends and I were not even close to alone in knowing all kinds of interesting fireworks recipes, all of which were well tested, and could be configured for anything from a small 'pop' to far more power than a slaughterbot. All from basic chemicals that can be easily be acquired without raising an eyebrow (could alternatively just repurpose a bullet/ shotgun shell, very easily obtained). The ability to put it right on target means that very little is needed.

>>acquiring all the training data and ML modals to actually make them useful.

Sure, if you are looking for fully ai-controlled and integrated with a city-wide CCTV system, that's a big task. But drone control and swarming is already out of the bag. Even a basic open-source Pixhawk does obstacle avoidance, and so can likely be reprogrammed for obstacle-targeting. Multiple off-the-shelf drones have done "follow-me" for years. I'd be astonished if a competent team with five-figure funding couldn't make a working system that could be deployed near a target, ID, it and home in.

We're way past needing state funding. The fact that it is not here suggests that while the scenario is scary, it is not actually that useful? Perhaps that's hoping too much.

> As mentioned earlier, it'd have applied to MSIE in 2005 as well.

What's funny is, I was around in 2005 and had already adopted Firefox well before it was called Firefox. (I was also around for the release of IE 4, and spent half a day downloading it on our 56k modem on release day! Exciting times.)

That's because the web is what I work on, and I am OK taking on buggy/beta stuff in the web domain because I learn useful things.

In the OS space, I was a linux user for a decade before I realized that I was wasting tremendous amounts of time and energy debugging stuff very like this monitor issue, and getting no transferable benefit out of it.

I switched to mac at the time, and have experienced vastly less of this sort of configuration nightmare since.

I love linux and I root for it, and occasionally I still try to switch again, before I end up having to figure out this sort of issue that just empirically doesn't exist on my mac, then I get sad and switch back.

> The answer is yes, you can do these things

I mean, I personally can't. (From a UK perspective.) First I would need access to these people and spend a lot of time with them. That could be difficult in itself if they are discriminatory. Then I would need another separate social group to practice my new personality with. Plus I'm just not a good actor. So it's not surprising that people's movement in social class is pretty limited. This isn't even getting into how people of your previous class will treat you if they think you've deserted them.
That's just a deliberate misinterpretation. How can you argue that way with any honesty?

A published list of fees, while transparent, is a useless blizzard of data by itself.

One customer-useful approach would be a "dslreports.com" providing precise total average monthly bill amount for a specific address along with the breakdown.
With the number of breaches T-Mobile has had (as mentioned in the article,) there's no reason to trust a company like that any more personal information than strictly necessary. If they were to to and corner people in to giving more, it sounds like a good reason to stop doing business with them.
can you share a more helpful real world example?

Interesting, is that true? I would have expected that to have happened in some other sports already (especially racing).

So what if we he was depressed?

Maybe he is depressed, or in the process of trying to get over depression. At some point, most people have this epiphany. His may be now. If so, I'm happy for him.

There's a part of me that wouldn't understand the gravity of this post because I never had an unhealthy obsession with stuff in the first place. I grew up with stuff and never had to go without. I enjoy hitting the sport button in my car and going zoom zoom.

Sometimes that obsession really messes people up and they truly suffer from it. They're not always as happy-go-lucky as you or I. Maybe it's harder for them to just get by.

I know enough people who didn't grow up with running water and went hungry as a kid to know that some people's attachment to stuff and financial security is a lot more profound and rooted in something much deeper. It's a lot harder for them to just enjoy the ride because a lot of that ride has been a real struggle.

I don't know this person's story, but I hope he finds peace and balance.
School (Secondary and University) is out for summer break....
It depends, but yes, usually. Post-1978, the author of a work is also the copyright owner as soon as the work is fixed in a "tangible medium of expression" (written down, recorded, dictated, etc.). The exception to this is when the work was created as a "work for hire" (WFH) [1] for an employer. The rules around what constitutes a bonafide WFH are governed by agency law in the US. The primary court case in this area is The Community For Creative Non-Violence v. Reid which outlines a fairly high bar for a work to be considered a true WFH (it asks questions like: did you go to an office where the employer told you what to do and how to create it, did the employer provide you materials, did the employer pay you as a salaried employee rather than a contractor, how were you treated tax-wise and benefits-wise, etc.). That said, as the copyright owner at the moment of fixation, you can absolutely assign that copyright in writing to anyone you'd like. So functionally, there is usually a backup clause saying something like: "this is a work for hire for us, but, in the event it's deemed not a work for hire, you hereby assign the copyright to us anyway."

I just want to point out that while it might be true there are some local fees included that are hyper local and hard to disclose. Where I live Comcast and other providers advertise fake low rates, and then tack on multiple surcharges and cost recovery fees that they refuse to disclose, should be considered false advertising, and make it impossible to compare between the different relevant services, because the fees represent more than 20% of your bill.
I created a 'design' for top-level folders and a few levels beneath. A few folder names, jist to give an idea: Work, Home, Photos, Music, Singing, Purchases, Projects, Literature, Ideas, Emails, Expenses, etc. I typically update this folder hierarchy say once every 3-7 years.

I change settings in all programs like browsers to ask me each time where to save. I tend to give long descriptive names to files. I include dates in file/folder names (yyyy-mm-dd - caption) when chronology is expected (like for photo albums).

I typically have an explorer window always open with the currently relevant folders. And use keyboard shortcuts to copy- paste file and folders names when saving/downloading/openimg something.

I use Everything to search when needed. Typically I can reach anytbing just by navigating the folders.

I use big enough drives on all my computers so and sync files between them, typically using FreeFileSync (that handles deletions well).

Phone data is also kept as a subfolder within the above, though the primary copy is on the main PC, except for some data. I use SyncThing and PhomeExplorer to sync files between the phome and this subfolder.

For backups, firstly, the data is already on multiple local machines, uncompressed. I also take full backups using simple file copies (i.e. no compression, so that in case of a failure, the backup is a drop-in replacement. I do not trust 'restore' of a backup program. For making file copies, I use Syncback Freeware.
(Spoilers below).

As I got further through the book I liked it more and more, and the moment that stuck with me was Hank Rearden holding on, thinking he could "fix" things by keeping his steel mill open and working harder than ever before. He had extremely altruistic motives, and was literally putting his life on the line to do what he thought was right to help others.

A little while later when he finally gives in and sees things from the other side, he suddenly sees that he, in fact, was the problem, and not the solution at all. By prolonging the bad system he was making everything worse, despite giving his all to make things better. The harder he tried, the worse he made it.

I've spent many, many hours thinking about this lesson, and how it applies to my own life and actions.

Sometimes even when we try as hard as we can to do the right thing and make stuff better, we're actually making it worse.

Sometimes giving up is the best way to make something better.
I just bought a 4G 4B for $75 Canadian. More expensive than before the pandemic, but not outrageous. Of course, once you add a case, PSU, cables, etc, you are over $100 again.

> rejected a camera-based monitoring system for Tesla vehicles for being "ineffective,"

This is a strange take while otherwise claiming cameras are all you need for full safe driving. Is driver monitoring so difficult or is this just Musk's indictment of Tesla's engineering?
Neat! Reminds me of stenography keyboards
Of course fn a is simpler and more readable, simply because it's not 200-lines long and there are no indentations and there are no states to keep track of, etc. This example is not at all like a real code and is just a straw man of my argument.

DRY at any architectural level corresponds naturally to repetition of text in source files.
It boils down to the distinction between "derived work" and "mere aggregate", which is currently legally vague. This vagueness has allowed all sorts of shenanigans that violate the spirit of the GPL.
This has nothing to do with "Linux". The monitor is exposing a bad ID in its configuration block. Monitor says "I support 140Hz at 4k", so Linux (strictly the kernel framebuffer driver in use) says "OK then, that's the best one, give me that". And it doesn't work, because the Monitor lied.

And the reason it works on Windows or (sometimes) MacOS is just that those systems have arbitrarily different default choices (e.g. "see if it has 60 Hz and use that"). And it happens to work with Windows because the monitor manufacturer bothered to test with windows (and, sometimes, MacOS), where they didn't with Linux.

This happens everywhere in the tech industry. No one does QA to the standards. It's 100% routine to see devices with PCI capabilities advertised that don't work, to see phantom ACPI entries for hardware that doesn't exist, to see EFI BIOSes exposing function tables for capabilities that never worked and weren't tested, USB devices which advertise a standard class but which only work with a proprietary driver, etc...

And the only reason anything works anywhere is that, at the end of the day, they plug it in and test. And on Linux they don't.
