The real question is more why it became popular anywhere else.

Currency denominations seem to be efficient* when they follow roughly half-an-order-of-manitude increases -- e.g. $0.05 to $0.25 to $1 to $5 to $20 to $100.

Adding mere doublings in there just complicates things for no good reason. There's already no particularly good functional reason for dimes or $10 bills, except we seem to want a denomination for every power of 10 -- it's more of an aesthetic thing.

But there's absolutely no practical reason for a $2. There's no functional reason and no aesthetic reason either.

* Finding a practical balance between carrying a minimal number of bills for any given total value (where powers of 2 would win), versus minimizing infrastructure like sizes of cash registers (where powers of 10 would save space in layout).

(Edit: maybe the case is different for heavy coins though? E.g. $10 in $2 coins will weigh significantly less than in $1 coins in your pocket. On the other hand, the US already mainly uses bills for $1, which is why $2 makes no sense in the US.)
It's the same excitement that I feel when I visit a relative in hospital and see they're taken care of without going bankrupt, when I take my kids to schools that my taxes paid for, on roads that my taxes paid for, in a country that isn't 10 meters under water because of the taxes that I paid in a place where poverty is reasonably rare (though not yet completely eradicated) and where because of that it is pretty safe to live and so on.

And what have those Romans ever done for us anyway?
IMO that's not why they _really_ do it. They have limits on everything because even at their scale they can't instantly accommodate your needs to suddenly scale or they need to prevent "noisy neighbor" situations where your sudden excessive usage impacts others' workloads. They still have to do relatively short term capacity planning to accommodate you. Like, I work for only a medium-large sized company and AWS has quoted us lead times of _weeks_ to make the instances we need for a workload available. We only needed 200-300 EC2 instances and they weren't even super unusual types. I think their infinite scaling on a dime claims are pure marketing jibber jabber.

I have a ~/dev/file_list.txt, generated by

> With the approval of the European digital identity regulation, we are taking a fundamental step so that citizens can have a unique and secure European digital identity. This is a key advance for the European Union to be a global reference in the digital field, protecting our democratic rights and values.

Another shoehorned decision which almost no-one wanted and no-one consulted the public on, since if they did it would be a resounding:

No.
People always were looking for some sort of profile to signal who they were. With Usenet it was the signature block. Intended as short contact blocks, they were often repurposed into oversized sword wielding manifestos.

Most states distinguish between the registered owner and the legal owner, and a lienholder is the legal owner.

Houses are different; you legally own your house while paying the mortgage.
>I was told that the infotainment systems were where a large chunk of their profit came from and differentiating their experience was important to the car company.

I wonder how that could be true. Most car companies have pretty terrible infotainment systems, and I've never met anyone who genuinely loved the infotainment system in their car. (Most people I know tend feel that it ranges from "somewhat annoying" to "good enough".)
GPU has 10x the memory bandwidth of the CPU though, which becomes relevant for the LLMs where you essentially have to read the whole memory (if you're batching optimally, that is using all the memory either for weights or for KV cache) to produce one token of output.
You are still being recycled in spite of your feelings.

React was designed as an abstraction layer on top of the source. Why?

OP Here. This got more engagement than expected, some of the bits I've picked up in discussion:

"Recommends skipping build step then mentions Tailwind": We use static-tailwind, a version with no build step, in development.

"Recommends hyperscript, a new non-js syntax" - Agree this isn't perfect & would prefer something which uses js. Was going to use Alpine but also have found that to be quite brittle in production. Nor do I love any of the libraries on unsuckjs.com, which has a good collection. We're working on something here which we'll launch at some point.

"OP should look at the recent Rails updates" - Been using Rails for 10+ years - everything we build is on top of Rails - I'll write a post on HTML First Rails at some point. I think they'll get there but currently all the named libraries (Turbo, Hotwire, Strada, Stimulus etc) are 1. Rails specific, and 2. Have a high learning curve. One of the points of HTML First is to avoid framework lock-in.

> (tick bite while jogging -> lymes disease -> schizophrenia, yes that's a thing)

women with schizophrenia actually tend to develop symptoms in their 20s, much later than men; lymes disease is real but also often a fixation for the mentally ill and hypochondriacs since the symptoms are so vague and varied, so it is likely that the bite is irrelevant and she fixated on it as her symptoms were developing for genetic (or whatever) reasons
Some things are inherently not verifiable, but actually what I meant was something like 'verifiable easily by me in a reasonable amount of time that makes the whole exercise worthwhile'. You can make some medical claim for example and describe your (or whoever's) methodology sufficiently for me to reproduce the result in theory, but I'm not going to.

> Every time a new study comes around saying “actually, everyone should be drinking 3 glasses of wine a night”, do you take a trip to the liquor store?

No, and doing so would be an example of blindly trusting something that you haven't or can't verify, so that supports my argument?

> LLMs are far from the only thing you rely on that will confidently lie to you.

Sure, but it's a new class of thing that will and does and yet people are trusting or haven't yet learnt that they can't. I mentioned seeing people trust it via commit messages; I don't see SO the same way, people generally realise they need to verify it, or it at least has a voting mechanism as a proxy. With GPT so far there seems to be a lot more assuming it's correct going on.
A co-worker's spouse took a job at a company like that. I heard about it at a company dinner. I knew that they were quite religious so I had to ask how that squared, and the response was, "Oh, I would never use the product". It made me feel really uneasy, since I knew I'm fairly libertarian and I'd have a problem sleeping on it. The argument is always, if I don't take the money, someone else will. I guess I wouldn't like working in a liquor store or a bank either.
Man should've been the CEO founder talking to angels and VCS..
That’s simply incorrect.

I think dkarkl's point is that it's not disposable income. Using the house HELC or emptying the retirement account to fund your gambling habit is an easy and ruinous way to get your hands on hundreds of thousands of dollars if you're middle class.
If a distro is shipping an image specific to macs? sure

If a distro is expecting you to install onto the rando asus gaming laptop you got at staples? not going to work.

The thing about M-series apple macs is there are only like 10 models total to record profiles for. You can't realistically do that and ship profiles for every x86 laptop under the sun.

I just posted a response in part of the thread saying "The minimum sentence had been recently enforced at that time", which is part of my explanation for that.

As a teenager I encountered so many people who thought they were experts with drugs because nothing had yet happened to them.

Nowadays, finishing up med school, with tons of real pharmacology and clinical knowledge, having seen lots of things in the psych wards, the ER, and stories from my wife (a physician too), I've come to realize that most people who think they know about these substances and their dangers don't really know.

Anyone can educate themselves, but lots of "drug customers", especially the most susceptible (youth + less educated), don't even have a background to know HOW to educate themselves properly concerning these things. Their knowledge is tainted by "most comments online say..." plus "and my friends who know all about these drugs..." plus "and one study I read" = so all I have to do is X, Y, Z.
The entire discussion was about Apple's practices. You're reading it wrong, maybe intentionally.

You're not sure of that, you're only saying you're sure of that so that you can follow up with a passive aggressive remark to try and dunk on me for your own ego.

I don't think I'll spend my day reading your marketing copy. Instead I'll go find a proper discussion elsewhere.
If you're going to invoke some abstract "the programmer doesn't know what they're doing" situation, I'm not sure how to continue this discussion. Even testing may not help in that case. Things are going to slip through the cracks. Having features like sum types is a way to generally reduce the likelihood of such semantic errors.

Besides, the original topic was that Go doesn't make its error handling very foolproof. Sum types help with that and don't make error handling special, so I really don't see your point. Why not write everything in Brainfuck then? Everything is uniform and simple. Well, it's simple to the point that it's way too easy to make mistakes.

Well, they are not sustainable, but Ireland no longer relies on them, so it's a moot point. The policies enabled the rapid development over a 25 year period and as the country became richer and the progress became self-sustaining, the arrangements were discontinued.

For example, the "Double Irish" arrangement, which is the subject of this case, was only in use up to 2014 (and was modelled on and often paired with the "Dutch Sandwich" BEPS arrangement, so you should note that Ireland wasn't the only EU country playing these games). It was this case that closed the Double Irish arrangement and while "Green Jersey"/CAIA partially took it's place, the legitimate tax take was already more than sustainable.

Now that Ireland has agreed to a global minimum corporate tax (CT) rate, it's likely that the CT take in Ireland will fall over time, but the inflated CT take of recent years has been treated as a windfall and not current income.
Are there any surveys of just how many Windows Servers boxes exist?

Even when I was working at an Azure-only shop, I've never actually seen anyone use Windows Server. Lots of CentOS (before IBM ruined it) and other Unixes, but never a Windows Server.
Having recently looked for new laptop, they often have firmware loaded by driver on windows into DSP or sound chain, sometimes even to enable half of the speakers you need to custom load firmware on Linux which apparently includes DSP code that adapts stereo signal for multiple speakers with different parameters.
I was watching a NOVA episode about the human mind recently, and in the episode they were showing that the eyes only have a very limited 'high bandwidth' optical viewing area. Anything outside of this high bandwidth area has to be committed to memory. I wonder if anyone has researched if that corresponds with our ability to count.

Being a huge history nerd war is almost always about profiteering, nothing has changed but propaganda.

The US is one big imperial war machine that protects its ownership class assets with their foreign policy, like any other superpower would.

"War profiteering", forceful opening of markets, huge contracts being made after all major wars, resource control?

The forever wars happening from the second world war up until now to keep the West on top. What "we" did to South America, to Iran, to African countries when they wanted their surplus?

Empire logic, game theory, nerdy statistical perspective even if you played a bit of civilisation or read Guns Germs and Steel.

Classical geopolitics 20 years ago was all about these game theories, propaganda, that it's all a big game of Risk, acquiring the most while dominating others like literally all of history.

What is war about today suddenly then? Beautiful philanthropic benevolence of the enlightened western peoples done very reluctantly but with great compassion for the future of the world despite immense expenses?

It's simple really: we want free market when we want a given area optimised. Cheaper goods, better value, more efficient services.
Do we want better gambling companies - more efficient at luring people in and getting them to spend money on gambling?

I think there aren't many sane people without vested interest who answer yes to the question.

The solution of only running state lotteries at least ensures there won't be much optimisation and the money goes to the public fund. What not to like?
> I find it hilarious the notion that the "middle class" would have "hundreds of thousands of dollars" of disposable income to splurge on gambling.

Don’t forget that there’s also an entire industry looking to loan money to middle class folks.

int 0x80 was/is the x86_32 way of doing syscalls in linux.

im not sure if sysenter, used on 64bit systems is classed as an interrupt.

the sdk is just a layer on top of that.

ive never used c on dos, it woukdnt surprise me if they used a similar library to linux. theres certainly nothing preventing it.
There are still central questions people may have about the historical events in both of your examples, and that a documentary may shed light on. Not so with this trial.
Xi’s leadership style is beginning to show very serious parallels to Chiang Kai-Shek’s leadership of China in the early 20th century, but with a fair bit more competency and an unbelievably higher level of influence and power.

Mars might be just a first (easiest) step for becoming multi-planetary/spacefaring civilization. By itself it is not that special or important but if you have a colony on another planet you focus more on space technology and other options that it brings.
I hadn't heard of uclamp before, mentioned as a way to save power on the compute intensive DSP work. Found this tweet by Marcan that seems to indicate it's a way to pin the process to e-cores. https://social.treehouse.systems/@marcan/111363323102625920
AMD GPUs work great, the issue is that people don't want to mess with ROCm/HIP when CUDA is kind of the documented workflow. Along with the fact that ROCm was stagnant for a long time. AMD missed the first AI wave, but are now committed to making ROCm into the best it can be.

The other problem is that there aren't any places to rent the high end AMD AI/ML GPUs, like the MI250's and soon to be released MI300's. They are only available on things like the Frontier super computer, which few developers have access to. "regular" developers are stuck without easy access to this equipment.

I'm working on the later problem. I'd like to create more of a flywheel effect. Get more developers interested in AMD by enabling them to inexpensively rent and do development on them, which will create more demand. @gmail if you'd like to be an early adopter.
Everyone being richer is a way that is good. Imagine everyone woke up tomorrow 50% more productive. Think through the bundle of goods people tend to buy, which ones are quite elastic over a reasonable amount of time (and those that are quite inelastic), and you'll come to the conclusion it's better, overall.
So even though there would be incredible benefits -- we just should not try according to this position.

I mean hasn't every great engineering achievement in human history basically been about overcoming a litany of "it can't be done because"? We would still be in caves with this approach you suggest.
If anything this is recognition that they know their customers don’t feel the need to upgrade every year! It’s refreshing.
> I think the article is awesome; you found out a lot of pain points that I deal with regularly.

Imho the most valueable part of the article is between the lines: showing how many aspects are in play, how long the route from first experiments to shippable product can be.

The devil is in the details. And those details can differ a lot depending on project, expertise or suppliers. For example one pcb manufacturer may have very different capabilities, pricing structure or quality control than another. Picking suitable components is almost an art in itself. Etc etc.
For a frontend developer who is younger than jQuery, starting a project following this advice would be a good opportunity to learn why we do the things we do like build steps, and remember how much development sucked before HMR.

I suspect the author hasn't actually done this on a project with more than one person, supporting 99% of browsers in the wild. I also suspect they didn't run their own code, because either my screen is not as tasty, or "onlick" is not an handler of div.
I'm astonished that after WD bought the SanDisk brand they kept it alive. You couldn't pay ME to use anything under that name, it's so negative. Maybe now with this critical failure they'll just slowly start branding things with any of the other myriad of brand names they've bought "hgst" for instance and slowly kill the brand.
It's a half measure. We need full notes and permit quarter notes. Even half notes exist but are rarely used.

> If their goal is to be anonymous as possible, why did they give you the data in the first place?

Often, it's because there is no other choice. When I'm revealing personal data to companies and such, that's usually why. Very few companies that I'm aware of are actually trustworthy on these matters, but I can't live without doing business with many of them regardless.

I absolutely do decide to reveal data to some companies that are optional, though. Like with all security matters, there's a cost/benefit calculation to be done here.

> I wrote it because somewhere in my heart I felt a vague duty to improve the situation.

Which is entirely laudable, and I think a worthwhile activity. It is, however, an effort that mitigates some risk rather than making things safe. People like the EFF are focused more on the goal of safety. It's almost certainly not a goal that can be fully achieved, but I'm glad that they're shooting that high anyway.
You keep mixing up "muddying the waters to avoid paying tax" and "lack of clarity" The "lack" you speak of is generated by a megacorporation to avoid paying their part - and you keep attributing it to the wrong party.

Some modern cars do not have telematics systems. As far as I know, base model Nissans often don't. In other cases, some telematics systems can be easily disabled. (in the Ford Maverick, it's got a single dedicate fuse, and doesn't complain when you pull the fuse.)

> cash is more common since systems are down more often

I wasn't aware of payment systems being down often in Germany, but in any case that would only be a minor contributing factor. Germany's dependence on cash is mostly due to deeper cultural reasons.
