I suspect this happens in all technical professions as things advance: you learn first principles and low level implementations in a formal training program/degree, but the demands of the industry to be productive require that you use and trust abstractions.

Even my doctors don't know some things about various drugs they prescribe me, because I can afford to spend the time reading the literature that only pertains to me. I'm sure their biochemistry background means they could definitely outperform me if they wanted to do a deep dive, but they know the important parts, and they know how my condition stacks up in the compendium of total knowledge and clinical experience they have. I don't think anything important is lost if they cannot at the drop of a hat tell me the half life and mechanism of action if I grill them on it.
It's human nature. Same reason republics decline into democracies, or why Europe spent centuries on crusades. It's not enough to live your life the way you want to live it, humans need the validation that their neighbors (or people across the country, or even people in other countries) are forced to live that way too.

That just leaves the code in a state where it's not clear what's wrong with it, because it works most of the time. There are just two types of code: obviously correct, or not obviously wrong.

If you write some code and you don't know how it works, it's most likely not correct in some edge cases.

Code that is written to be so simple it's obviously doing the right thing is better than battle tested mess of if statements.

I've given interviews of fizzbuzz and even though developers usually recognize they need a separate case for 15, they don't always do the else ifs right (maybe test for the 15 case last when you've already hit the divisible by 3 case first, or similar silly mistakes). In that case, doing the string accumulation refactor makes it clear that the code has no mistakes because it for sure adds a Fizz first and a Buzz second in the 15 case. It's also a good refactor for extending to Bazz (divisible by 7) as well, so it's something you will want to do when you want to add that feature
As per the source you linked, San Francisco has the 4th highest property crime rate in the US, with about 1 in every 16 people being victimized per year. There was also a joke headline a while back: 'San Francisco becomes first city to eliminate crime, after legalizing all crime.' Like in all good jokes there's a shade of truth - when crimes are not reported, not prosecuted, or reclassified then they do not show up in crime stats. DAs that choose not to pursue/prosecute crimes, and people choosing not to report them (perhaps because of no expectation in justice), will bring down crime rate stats, without bringing down crime rates.
Julian Assange has been sitting in prison for years, awaiting extradition to the US for publishing information that revealed US war crimes and gravely embarrassed the US. Assange isn't an American citizen, and he wasn't even in the US when he published the material. He's being prosecuted for breaking one of the largest stories in the history of modern journalism, and there should be a much larger outcry.
I get that, but if people want choices in architecture, then sometimes economies of scale won't be available for those less-common choices. I'm willing to pay more for a performance-comparable architecture that is more open and less hostile (and, as a bonus, is one I've worked with personally for decades), and I put my money where my mouth is.

Raptor is well aware of their price premium and tried very hard with the Blackbird, though I wanted the expansion power in the Talos II and would have always bought the bigger system first. But they still have to make a profit and I want to support them in it.

Emotional? Hardly. I am not affiliated with POWER and have never been. But I like good hardware, good design ideas and debating them.

One could pin me on maybe getting touchy in relation to my own pet ISA design that is a unholy matrimony of an 128-bit extension of the original PDP-11 architecture, ideas from i860, AMD29k and NEC SH-4 that I have been toying around and chugging along with, running on a FPGA at home as well as running a NetBSD port on it – for fun and as an outlet when I get frustrated with the enterprise-y world where I work. But it is my own _pet_ project where I have unbashed freedom to try anything out however silly or impractical the idea is, and where I can't expect others to agree with the ideas I am entertaining.

We could have been debating the merits of the POWER vs ARM CHERI tagged memory architectures and their implications on the compiler design. Or, we could have been disagreeing on the merits of the POWER CPU assisted translation of the ISA's for z/Series IBM mainframes (with the physical CPU long, long not being in existence and POWER CPU's emulating the ISA instead) and AS/400 (or whatever it is named today – the ISA that has never been implemented in the hardware anyway and has always been virtual and powered by POWER CPU's) vs alternatives, in hardware or in software.

We could have also been locking horns over the original Cray vector instructions vs the RISC-V vector extension designs. Or, how 96x slices in a 24x core POWER CPU stack up against competing 96 core CPU designs. Or, agree and disagree how advances in the modern compiler design could have made VLIW architectures more practical today and not. Or something else.

But this:

> […] X86/ARM are highly successful, being 30-40 years old proves that they are well maintained […]

> […] POWER lost the competition, it is done, it should be depreciated. With that in mind, its 35 years history is not a fancy record, it is proof that not many people are going to pick that junk up again […]

is not worth responding to. Such comments belong in Slashdot, Reddit and similar internet forums.

If that's the case, why do phones with the Tensor G1 and G2 only receive 3 major updates? That even applies to the Pixel Fold, a $1800 phone released a couple months ago. There's no Qualcomm to blame here, it appears to be purely a business decision by Google.
The bug here is that between the "copy" and "paste" operations, a script running in the background can win the race to rewrite clipboard contents before "paste" happens. Thus the defense needs to happen on the "paste" side, changing the "copy" side would result in the same race.

A solution is bracketed paste[1] as mentioned in earlier comments[2], which would allow the user to examine a pasted command before running it.

Those "police stations" were not what you'd picture when you hear the word "police station." They didn't have police officers, and they couldn't arrest anyone. I don't think they even had government employees.

In the cases I've read about, they were set up by local Chinese associations, and the main service they provided was verifying the identities of Chinese people who wanted to do things like renewing their Chinese driver's license.

Actually, in accounting Money turns into Goodwill when a company is acquired, representing the premium that is paid above a company's assets. I accounting, this value is not amortised, unless something exceptional happens that affects that value (decided by the company's management).

So in the real world, (real) goodwill turns into more money. But in accounting, money turns into goodwill!

"In accounting, goodwill is an intangible asset recognized when a firm is purchased as a going concern. It reflects the premium that the buyer pays in addition to the net value of its other assets. Goodwill is often understood to represent the firm's intrinsic ability to acquire and retain customer business, where that ability is not otherwise attributable to brand name recognition, contractual arrangements or other specific factors" (Wikipedia)
We spent 25 years out in the rural West, though we preferred to live in a town.

We left because over the last 15 years the decay of uniform public law enforcement has essentially led to "norms" being enforced by the local landowning elites. And they have certain characteristics that make them highly identifiable. IOW, if you look like them, you get all the space you have said you prefer. If not, well, there's not a lot to limit the potential downsides.

This has also led to a large increase in trash behavior out on the public lands. Lots of new wildcat trails/double track for instance. For us it got pretty uncomfortable a few times in the last 5-6 years. We began to post the shotguns in a highly visible place in the camp, or in the truck. That definitely helped.

"Why you should care"

There is no should with caring. You either care or you don't. Everything else is a lame act.

People should start working on things that they happen to care about. Everything else will fall into place after that.
It seems kind of weird to just bring up a random place in Texas. The poverty rate in Huron California is over 40%. I'm not sure what that is supposed to prove though.

It seems better to bring up the state as a whole. 12.2% of Californians are living in poverty and 14% of Texans are.

If a few cities are having issues it seems like there are issues in those cities, not necessarily the state. That is not to say the state can't do anything to help, but if other cities are not experiencing those same issues then it seems like it is a different issue going on.
While it't true that oil is used for plastics and chemicals today, it's absolutely not the case that it will be drilled into the future when demand for gasoline disappears.

Oil is not strictly a necessary precursor to much of the chemical industry, it is rather a convenient raw material because the high value of gasoline makes lights virtually free. In the early days of oil exploration, lights were constantly burned as they had no economic use at the scale they were produced.

If oil exploration would continue just for the sake of chemicals, the cost structure of these precursors would fundamentally change and it would become more attractive to replace them with renewable sources.

My brother's house is in a HOA and, as far as I know, pretty much the only thing the HOA is concerned with is the maintenance and plowing of the private road. I'm not sure how you do that without some form of organization/agreement. It's not rare for there to be common areas that aren't maintained by the government (which is really the only alternative) unless a group of neighbors just handle things informally and hope it all works out.
so the poster is right, your city/metro is larger than Norway, population wise. And they are super wealthy to boot.

I love middle click paste, in combination with ctrl+c/ctrl+v paste it's a second clipboard, which allows to do one kind of refactoring in between doing some other refactoring in code (as just one example).

Great question - is their app deployed to a container? In that case, they should know about it, because buried deep under layers of abstraction are cgroups. Answering questions like “why did Node try to use 32 cores” is much easier when you understand this.
Isn’t a tax on aggregators’ ad revenue effectively that? It’s not saying that Google or Facebook can’t make plenty of money, only that they need to share some of their profits with the people whose work allowed them to make that profit in the first place.

It’s entirely possible to be 100% factually accurate while still presenting a slanted view of the world. The stories they choose to cover or not cover can paint a picture all on their own, not to mention which angles of which stories they focus on, which facts they choose to present in the first paragraph vs further down the article etc.

I’m not saying they (Reuters, NYT, WaPo) don’t do much better fact checking than most outlets but there’s still a wide gulf between “no outright falsehoods” and “truly unbiased coverage”.

I’m not entirely sure the latter even exists.

On an x13 2nd gen running Ubuntu 22 LTS with Wayland + libinput, middle-finger ^H^H^H middle-button paste generated by the touchpad driver was almost always triggered instead of right-click, which turned out so annoying, in addition to having lost kinetic scroll/device-specific coefficients, that I left Linux for good and switched to Mac OS instead, which I had already been using 2003-2009.
It's not. Wayland has a similar primary selection mechanism, and has the same problem. Firefox tells (X11|Wayland) that the text is selected, so that's what gets pasted, because that's how the entire thing works. The article even mentions this.
"Who cares? "

You are proving my point. You should care.
oh wow.. refactoring is an art form.
just because your code "works" doesn't mean you have to leave it alone. your working code will likely be copied into 5 other projects and will not scale well.

ideally you're investing into creating shareable code libraries and into infrastructure that makes the process of maintaining/referencing shared components easy enough for engineers to want to dedicate their precious sprint time to it.
There just has been a whole distrust with academia and places of learning due to corruption, bureaucracy and political ideologies as the central organizing force. It's so sad. Instead of courageously chasing truth, hiding behind these things is easier. Universities, libraries are some of the best things humans have come up with. Libraries also fall in a similar place. We need to rebuild the trust and value in the populace to chase objective truth without having to commit to any ideology.

Yeah, it had different algorithm to render inventory and also could add/remove some objects to the background (those figures in dresses do not move if I recall, only toggle in and out). The inventory was not free camera with only controls to zoom, so you could do a lot of tricks with pre-computed shading. The general purpose rendering of the animated character and items they held was flat shading though.

Not Norwegian, but lived there for 2 years, in multiple places from Narvik to Stavanager to Oslo to Trondheim.

Population wise, Norway slots between Minnesota and South Carolina and is ~7.5x the mighty "city" of Alaska. It has a mainland latitude sweep of nearly 24 degrees, California covers 16 degrees of latitude. It's coastline is a mind boggling 51,748 miles. I can't find a good stat on total road network size, but neighboring Sweden of similar foot print has only a little less roads than the Spain.

Some city I guess.

As a Washington State resident, my biggest primary holdback with going all electric is the range reduction that occurs in winter months due to cold. Canadian friends have confirmed that it's a real thing. I would love to see what effect this has in Norway. I also would love to see which makes and models are trending there.
Agree with you here. Also need the frameworks to scale work out to a team.

Quote from Google:

> Our work with Tensor has never been about speeds and feeds, or traditional performance metrics. It’s about pushing the mobile computing experience forward. And in our new Tensor G3 chip, every major subsystem has been upgraded, paving the way for on-device generative AI. It includes the latest generation of Arm CPUs, an upgraded GPU, new ISP and Imaging DSP and our next-gen TPU, which was custom-designed to run Google’s AI models.

Then why the internet requirement? Were they trying something that failed last minute forcing them to ship it the way it is? Or was this always just advertisement material?

There are many easy to automate good code vs bad code things, and you should do that. Turn on all compiler warnings and refuse code with even one for example. Problem is this type of thing isn't sufficient. (You should write your own checks for common problems in your project that could not apply to generic compilers as well )
