That sounds like a lot of engineering effort for something with minimal payoff. Carefully balancing early vs late offsets for the one time payoff of playing while the game is still downloading. So many potential failure states vs just saying, "Wait another hour and then start"
Disc brakes are absolutely better. No one laments the loss of drum brakes on cars, and apparently this person is the only one lamenting the loss of rim brakes.

He also seems to be a grouchy whiner about other things, like mountain bikes, suspension, hydraulic brakes, and even one finger braking...

Probably only rides alone.
Vaguely related but I remember the tale of an author on vacation after publication of his latest novel. He telegramed his publisher to enquire about reception:

Publisher replied:

Agree re: everything you said but wanted to add datadentre security staff are some of the most interesting characters I’ve encountered. Not sure I sleep as well at night after seeing what I saw.
I love my disc brakes, but I don't like the hydraulic aspect of them. I do wish that they used cables, instead. Those are easier for me to maintain/repair. I only use my bike to commute, though, and I don't think that there's a real difference in performance between hydraulic and cable with that use case so it's all about ease of maintenance for me.
I'm in the USA with 3mbps average download speed. Fine for streaming, but when I used to play games and my friends wanted to switch to a large game (Sea of Theft, say, or Rat Slaughter 2, whatever they're called) I'd set it to download overnight. I don't consider this a problem.
Hydraulic disc brakes are not lighter than rim counterparts. When manufacturers have both versions of a bike you can usually expect a ~1kg penalty for the disc version.
I believe it was that the EU countries prefer law as opposed to regulation and we definitely don't like guidelines.
Exactly.

I do NOT want to depend on a large company that tries to force itself into everything people do (search = google, email = gmail, handhelds = android, phone number = fi)

It seems like it would be the same search if you were looking for evidence that it’s false, and you wouldn’t find anything if it’s unsupported?

> they're better with carbon rims on road bikes

Carbon rims are becoming more popular across cycling not just on road.

They are stronger, lighter, less fragile and the quality is improving such that I bought a pair with a lifetime warranty.

And carbon rims are worse than aluminium with calliper brakes especially in wet weather conditions.
Which, if they didn’t travel outside of the country, would still be “locally.” ;-)

But thanks, that does actually answer my question!
Just release sufficient documentation, and those motivated enough will write the necessary drivers.
the conclusion isn't good enough?

Conclusions
Conversations (XMPP) seems best for battery life, traffic and RAM.

Facebook Messenger and Element (Matrix) are the worst from the studied apps, draining up to 300x more power than Conversations when battery optimization is disabled. Keep battery optimization enabled for them, I guess. Need more data to see better.

Element X (experimental Matrix app) is coming up with a more than 100x reduction in energy consumption (comparing to Element), drawing just 2x more power than Conversations.

A few more proprietary messengers have been measured and they fall in between the space between the above mentioned extremes. Little can be said about them besides that most of them continuously draw substantial amount of power and bandwidth even when not interacted with.
Ehhh. Rim brakes are cheaper, that’s true. They’re easier to adjust as well.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with a road bike with rim brakes on it.

But so long as they’re set up properly, discs are also nice - and far more confidence inspiring.
oh wow i built a script years ago to rip it but basilisk asked not to use up all his bandwidth and offered to let me send him a hard drive for backup but i never got around to it... glad to know it's preserved thanks for the tip!
When European countries want to pass unpopular legislation, instead of proposing it domestically, they propose it as an EU law, and turn back and say "look what EU made us do!". EU-wide successes of course are reported as personal achievements of whoever is on TV. Pro-EU vs anti-EU is also often a rallying topic in establishment vs opposition political debates, which tends to produce exaggerated controversies, sort of like the topic of abortion in the US. So I think there will always be some voices saying EU wants to outlaw curved bananas.

European countries are very different. I'm not sure if more than California vs Alabama. However, people remember that European countries used to have actual wars with each other throughout their history, up until not that long ago, so it's preferable to have disagreements worked out bureaucratically, even if that's a lot of bureaucracy.
I wanted to make something like this, but using Bluetooth LE. Then I looked at the Bluetooth spec and implementations realized why Bluetooth applications are so unreliable (other than Apple device to Apple device). It’s really hard. Plus every OS has their own incompatible API, with some parts missing or inaccessible for some reason.

The practical solution to “share files in physical proximity” ends up being just use Apple everything.
App Manager on f-droid allows to to freeze bloatware without root. You just need to enable adb mode via USB or wireless debugging, both explained in the manual.

This article doesn’t call out to me about buildings or games, but rather software.

Part of the underused promise of having the source is the opportunity to “infest it with yourself” as the author describes. I want to rip out useless modules (or at least their interface), plop in new, better structures, etc.

This is a capability that at least is available, if largely unused, to programmers, but should be available to non-programmers too.

The only program I know that is intended to be made form-fit with the user is emacs. Are there others?
I think by “data races” the parent means that code doesn’t lock around operations like += and len(). The data races are there in theory but do not exhibit due to the GIL.

I switched to tubeless on rim brakes and had a downhill blowout from pressure cooking the sealant. I also tend to abuse my rims and rarely true them, so my brakes are always loose or rubbing. Both these problems may go away with carbon rims, but pincher brakes with carbon pads don’t have much stopping power. Discs do, but they are heavy and put extra torque and heat stresses on the frame, as well as a twisting moment to the straight spokes on the front, which they obviously weren’t designed for.

Okay, ready for a new idea I just thought of? Hydraulic rim brakes. They are built into either side of the fork and push bigger pads into deep carbon wheel surfaces for as much braking power as you want, with the torques applied to the strongest points of the wheel and frame, and no twisting moment applied to the spokes.
Disc brakes are really strongly aliased with new bikes. Personally, I like the feeling of my new bike, which happens to have disc brakes. So, I don't mind disc brakes.

Thanks for sharing. I hadn’t heard of many scenarios in recent years, but I’m not sure if that’s just because nobody advertises that they had to put the source code in escrow.
Back when I was cool, I used to love games like Quake 3 and Counter Strike. I could absolutely tell when a game reenabled vsync after an update and I absolutely hated vsync; made everything feel laggy/"smoothed".

I don't recall ever noticing tearing.
Carbon rims (prior to 2016 or so) were notorious for offering a poor braking experience and you ran the risk of overheating the brake surface on big descents and potentially delaminating the carbon rim. Better wheels and pads were manufactured, resulting in a much better experience when riding on higher quality wheels.

No mistake, disc brakes offer better braking power and a superior braking experience to rim brakes but the difference is nowhere as big as it used to be.
This does not match my experience. Can you give some examples?
I was blown away when I found out LiveNation owns their venues. That's how they lock the artists in. I think Ticketmaster and live nation both are monopolies, maybe even racketeering.
Disc brakes have been infiltrating BMX, too, which is hilarious because you don't even need brakes in BMX.
I'm old and back in the day all we had were caliper brakes on road bikes and I rode two centuries in the rain in a paceline and somehow we all survived, as did all those decades of Tour de France riders. Maybe guys can only do "real work" with disc brakes now, but at least in the past riders managed with rim brakes outside of optimal conditions. Maybe excessive smartphone usage is compromising grip strength these days...
Why learn a made-up language? (2021)
Correct, there is the open source project and then the platform is proprietary and has additional features.

We are licensing those portions and those are what are requested to be in escrow. Do you mean a copy left or business source type of license?
Software component companies have done this for a long time. The subscription is generally for 1 year in includes some level of support and updates during the subscription timeframe. The renewal is often discounted.
I have one bike with rim brakes, my Brompton, which is slow, and small.

I would never buy or build a full size full time bike that doesn’t have at least mechanical discs. It is a no brainer. Full stop. (Heh, get it???)

The four pots on my cargo bike can stop me, another adult, and itself (200kg or so) in what feels like 5 feet from 20mph. They are powerful enough that when I first got it I had to stop myself from pulling the levers so hard, cause I’d skid with barely any effort. Such a bike would be impossible with rims.

There’s being romantic about old bikes and old, simpler tech, but this is just dumb.

"To approximate average connections, demos were ran with a 120 Mbps download speed limit."

Whoah. I know 3Mbps isn't blazing fast anymore, but it works fine for streaming video and downloading a 100Gb game from Steam overnight, back when I used to play games.

Via seems like a cool idea, but the energy cost is high if I'm playing Vermintide 2 with only 10Gb available- that's a lot of continuous downloading, depending on how long I play.

Not wanting to bother with downloading so much data contributed to to my preference for small games like Valheim and Deep Rock Galactic, and ultimately to being done with videogames.

I worked as an average CRUD developer in Atlanta and first landed at AWS (ProServe) at 46 years old. I never did a coding interview in my entire life and didn’t do one for that job. That was my first job at any company of note.

I had only opened the AWS console two years prior.

When you get a PIP at Amazon you might as well give up. Would you rather give up $40K+ or $20k 6 weeks later or $7K when your appeal fails. I was making less than the average software developer at Amazon 5 years out of school or one working for any major tech company. Why weren’t they saving money? I knew what Amazon was about why didn’t they?

I haven't experienced that at all. Any of the codebases I've worked in - both proprietary and open-source - have converted errors to strings when it becomes necessary: When presenting it to a user, whether that means logging or placing it in an HTTP response body, etc.
Okay, but the part I don't understand is why do it this way? If the hosting provider is a threat, they don't need new certs. They can just read your private keys off your disk and MITM with that.

The tables are too wide for the viewport. If I make the browser wider the page becomes two columns and the viewports are still too small to show the full table.

The sections of text also appear to be longer than the boxes they are in, causing scrolling inside which I only discovered after a few minutes and making it hard to read.

I saw the domain, and was not surprised to see this comment here. Frankly, this is what a ton of "modern" software is like. Flashy, bloated, and overmarketed with buzzwords, but just barely accessible.

A plain HTML page with regular tables and images would be far superior.
The reason some of us MTBers switched: a single outing with rim-brakes in wet/muddy/dusty conditions would grind a set of pads to nothing (adding $25+ per outing for replacements), along with the wheel rim being ground thin to the point where the wheel wall would fail. Disc brakes last repeated use in adverse conditions and braking force remained consistent over many hours.

Hydraulics are much nicer feeling than cable discs (rim brakes feel way better than cable discs in my opinion). For bikes that you use a lot I think its worth getting hydraulics since you do need to maintain them either way.

I only choose cable discs on bikes I use extremely rarely (i.e. I keep one at my inlaws for when I visit once or twice a year and I wouldn't want to deal with hydraulics maintenance in that context).

If they have to meekly ask if anyone wants linux support... Usage not going to proliferate anyway.

Getting support from popular projects for Metal, ROCm, Vulkan, Intel's frameworks and Nvidia TensorRT is already like pulling teeth, even with Intel, Apple and Nvidia paying engineers to integrate the already functional frameworks into projects.
I actually find hydraulic brakes much easier to maintain. They self adjust to account for wear and don’t suffer from cable stretch so I rarely need to adjust them. They need a bleed maybe once every few years but that is actually dead simple for shimano anyways.
I can as well.
On Linux you have bcache and flashcache, but they work on the block layer and not file layer.
That would be a great start for democracy. Real change requires Congress to do its job, and it's pretty much paralyzed these days.

I'm not here to talk politics, especially for such a loaded statement. "allying"? I "ally" with no one.

Also, my choice is not political but technical: I have a color eink device android where I do everything in the console with tmux and a Lenovo Bluetooth keyboard.

I have root, the device is degoogled, and I have removed from flash (mtd) what I didn't like. I use it mostly offline, but it's firewalled (with iptables) when I need to use ssh for example.

Best of all: it came ready to be hacked!

Maybe you believe your google device is more "protected", but I have a different opinion.

Given the amount of effort companies like google put into trying to insert themselves into our lives, I suggest a healthy skepticism to their claims of "privacy" or "protection".
I’ve been waiting on Cricket since the Apple Watch came out with cellular. They don’t have a plan on when/if it will be available, which seems silly since Cricket is owned by AT&T.

But I’ll never go back to AT&T’s prices, so I guess I’m just out.

Thinking laterally for a moment regarding the big picture here, why do we still rely on data centres.

They made sense in a world of dialup and low speed / high latency broadband. But there are lots of places with high speed fibre and not much latency to the peering points.

And the more we break away from data centres and clouds, the more the internet infrastructure will have to work the way it was designed instead of having to flow through these crazy aggregation points that are both serious points of failure and major security risks.

To you it might sound like a lot of effort but for a user who is on his 1 day off for the week not having to wait twice the amount of time to log in to play his game probably means more than you or I could ever imagine. Blizzard used to be about making everyone have an excellent experience and some of the legacy features they've had for years seriously still do show what kind of commitments to that fact they have made in the past.

I think you're also over-estimating how hard it is to flag something as not-necessary for the majority of users. Especially when downloading a fresh copy of a new expansion. If you know most players aren't going to be in the final boss lair for 3 weeks but still ship the game with that content it's not unimaginable to just allow the game to download those files in the background.

I like it, but it does not "solve" the big downloads issue. You know what would solve the 100 GB game download problem? Reducing that to 30 or 40 GB, not inventing an (admittedly clever and nice) man in the middle streaming things to you in byte-sized chunks.
Even if you're not in demand, taking a guaranteed higher payout vs risking losing money and time to gamble on a process that is not designed for you to succeed.

If you really want to drag privilege into this, if anything it speaks to your own to think that people in tough circumstances have the luxury of turning down money now for vague promises of a possibly better payout later.
> An infinite universe doesn’t have infinite copies of someone.

Depends on the uniformity of matter and energy and physical laws in the universe. If matter and energy are uniformly distributed with no large scale variation, and the laws of physics are constant then eventually somewhere in the universe you’d be able to find an Earth arbitrarily close to ours.
Not that I am aware of, which bolsters my point. If airsoft pellets keep ripping through everybody's "bulletproof" vests and they all keep telling you to have faith in their new vest, and no, they will not provide you any evidence that it works, then any sane person would be running for the hills. You should be completely skeptical that an entire industry that can not even stop airsoft pellets can suddenly able to stop bullets, 354th times the charm for sure, until they show you some extraordinary evidence. Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me 354 times in a row for three decades, shame on me.
The AI engines on these chips are derived from the Xilinx AIE / AIE-ML cores. The Xilinx aiecompiler only runs on Linux - which is special because, aside from aiecompiler, basically all of the Xilinx tools work on both Windows and Linux.

In contrast the Ryzen AI stuff is more consumer focused. And 99% of consumers are using Windows. Having Linux support would be nice, but it totally makes sense that they would implement it on Windows first and prioritize that. Linux probably isn't worth it aside from for developer mindshare. And I say this as someone who's been using desktop Linux for over a decade.
Marx is neat but theory of value money credit and time pref is much better understood under an empirical framework so much so I’m sure even drunken Karl would agree.
Biking for 40+ years from around the neighborhood to centuries, and do maintenance except cost-prohibitive procedures.

I have road and mountain bikes with rim brakes (grew up with them), disc brakes, and a 4kW scooter with disc brakes and regenerative braking.

Disc brakes are high maintenance: oil (leaks and water content), pads, and springs.

Rim brakes are more-or-less maintenance-free except cleaning the rims maybe every year or 2, and pads every 5-10 years. Only rarely alignment.

The mechanical advantage and safety is theoretically better with rim brakes because the forces are much higher in disc brakes due to the differences in lever distance.
And Google's version of Bazel.
- Rim brakes are cheaper. The price of carbon-frame road bikes has dramatically increased because of disc brakes and inflation.

- rim brakes are easier to maintain. Disc brake DIY maintenance required equipment and expertise beyond most riders.

- rim brakes are more than adequate for the riding the average avid cyclist does.

- A rim brake bike that has been sitting in the garage needs little TLC and service to get back in service, in contrast to a much more expensive and time-consuming effort to get a hydraulic disc back in service.

- rim brakes create torque at beefier parts of the frame (where they are mounted) than at the end of the fork and end of the chain-stays and seat-stays

There is no question a quality disc brake is better at braking than its rim brake counterpart. But generally it was a solution in search of a problem and makes cycling even more out of reach for most consumers despite the industry lamenting for decades that ridership was flat despite a growing population.
I don't want any AI on any chipset. At the very least, there should be an option to disable hardware and software based AI.
