I believe the allegory (I was a kid at the time ), is that, just as Iran-Contra involved alliances of convenience between enemies and spending a lot of money, X.org (or the MIT X11 group) & all the Unix Vendors & DEC VMS, were trying to find a way to sort of standardize a Unix GUI, while also trying to siphon their competitors customers and lock them into their own proprietary systems.

Maybe FAAANG, they want to eat each others users, but also not have the government interfere, especially in avoiding taxes.

Here's American Dad giving a brief, basically factual < 2min, musical overview of Iran-Contra.

Japan has a various alternative pickup designs that are difficult to import into the US. They're a lot smaller and lighter than traditional pickups but usually have the same standard bed size.
There are only so many hills one can afford to die on before hitting emotional burnout. It's not an "excuse" for the parent, it's simply an acknowledgement of the emotional reality.
What other car companies are you boycotting due to their CEOs ?
Fair, that's on me for reacting to the headline without reading the article, and "obsolete" is too strong a word.

I was mostly thinking of the lobbying groups in europe which very much didn't want to allow the "exclude from search results" opt-out.
This sounds amazing. I didn't see it mentioned but I assume it also has collision detection to go along with those sprites.
Ironically, after getting laid off 8 months ago after some other acquisition, my morale improved dramatically, but it would be good to have an income.

If you had to choose, would you prefer to live now in Gaza or the West Bank? Which community made the better choice then?
You're right, I guess I just hate the mouse. Should've changed my comment to TUI>GUI instead of CLI>GUI.
I’ve been primarily using lazygit and man is it nice. It’s perfect for typical workflow stuff (pulling/pushing, branching, even conflict resolution). Occasionally I’ll reach for the command line for more advanced tasks though. There’s just more fine-grained control with the cli tool.
Here is a similar ranking from Germany where you can sort by class of car and than compare car models instead of manufacturers (just scroll down a bit to get to that part and have it translated by your browser): https://www.adac.de/rund-ums-fahrzeug/unfall-schaden-panne/a...

So, it is less that "Wayland does not support screensavers", and more of "Wayland supports screensavers that work like they did under X. But the way things worked under X is so stupid that it is not worth considering".
Intetesting feature: transfer statistics between devices with a code.

So they are keeping stats on their server without an account but with a way to identify devices. Or the stats could be on the device until the transfer procedure starts. I'm on my phone so I can't check what they are doing.

Then you type that code to another device and they'll be able to link the two of them.

"transfer" should mean that the stats are no more on the original device. That would mean that they delete the cookie (or whatever) and any trace of that device on their server.

Maybe it is even possible to make the two devices communicate between each other without going through a server. I think it's been done in web conferencing but it's too late on the night to research the matter.
Not to mention that by using the system allocator you get all sorts of things “for free” that the system developers provide for you, wrt observability and standard tooling. This is especially true of the OS and the allocator are shipped by one group rather than being developed independently.
It was in an audiobook narrated by Pat Morita that I heard it.

The context was auto transmissions --- it was found that one source of premature failures was when all parts in a transmission were at the extreme of too small or too large --- on average, the large/small would balance out, but when it didn't that was when there were early (and catastrophic) failures.
He recently posted, then deleted a tweet about "Pizzagate." Previously, this hyper-political conspiracy theory got a random pizza place assaulted by a man with a long gun looking for children in their non-existent basement.

He posted another insane conspiracy theory about the attack on Nancy Pelosi's husband. [0]

He keeps promoting the concept of "civil war" in the EU, due to immigration. I am in the EU, and this sounds absolutely bonkers to me. Maybe different parties being elected at best/worst, but civil war? That's not a rational take, and seemingly just projection.

> Musk, who has never reserved his social media posts for business matters alone, drew attention to a tweet that said Jewish people “have been pushing the exact kind of dialectical hatred against whites that they claim to want people to stop using against them.”

> Musk replied to that tweet in emphatic agreement, “You have said the actual truth.” [1]

I greatly respect SpaceX which he actually founded, what he has done with funding and running Tesla, but it appears to me that he has now truly lost his mind. Today he behaves like a politically deluded troll. This saddens me deeply. At one point, he seemed like the best of us, above any of that dangerous silliness.

Personally, I think the "electric SUVs are bad for pedestrians" is just there to replace "SUVs are bad for the environment". Basically, this isn't a real argument, just a vibes thing, where big trucks are conservative coded and smaller cars are liberal-coded.

In the grand scheme of things the difference in MPG of an SUV vs. a sedan is minimal when it comes to climate change, and the difference in pedestrian danger from large car vs. small car is minimal. That is: all kinds of cars are dangerous to pedestrians! All kinds of ICE vehicles are bad for the environment! People are splitting hairs trying to turn vehicle body type into a shibboleth for good vs. bad person.
And the net reduction on pollution? zero

Because by the time the EV left the dealership, it already polluted more.
NFC is used at much higher power usually. If you think of the labels on clothes with RFID chips in stock and a reader operated from 1m or so distance. It's also NFC, kind of.. I think that NFC for paying with smartphone is operated at very low power for security reasons.

Other possibilities without RFID might be a photo diode and a led in the finger of the robot sending light encoded data (filename ending *.led, format needs to be defined)

Stats dont lie and you are right, but it feels brittle somehow. Thin metal and cheap rubber. Also that centre console gets really boring after a while, although it looks good.
That's usually what happens when companies are on their last legs. They do anything they can to make things seem new and exciting when they really aren't.

Remember when X was Twitter? and Metaverse was FaceBook?

I wonder why companies go out of their way to change well-known brands and logos to something unrecognisable to most of the world.
Because observers become part of science experiments.
But you have to use operator overloading to use smart pointers.

This isn't a pedantic nerd snipe; the point is that operator overloading really is indispensable in certain contexts.
I work remotely so I don't even have to go anywhere. But I definitely could with reliable Starlink in theory.

I'd love to get more details on your setup. Hotels? Cafes? Or work out of a tent?
Considering the weight of ICE fuel is 2-3% of a typical car's mass, that "advantage" is negligible.
I was actually pleasantly surprised by how much I actually liked this when I test drove a Tesla.

Voice activation worked amazingly well. Most functions were only 1 or 2 clicks deep in the menu. It was surprisingly easy to find what I needed.
If you'd have read the article, you'd know that lab-based meat is not plant-based.
Well, we should maybe reflect on the intense EV greenwashing pushed by Tesla and society in general.

Congratulating people that buy a Tesla for helping to save the world from climate change makes absolutely no sense.

Congratulate people that decide to buy small minimalist cars or give up cars and take public transportation
Lead acid gel batteries hold their charge MUCH better than standard lead acid batteries. The difference is gel lead acid often self-discharge around 1% per month but standard lead acid batteries self-discharge on the order of 10% per month. I only use gel batteries on my small engine equipment like snowmobiles, motorcycles, and snowblower.
How to fix too many microservices?
My organization has been overdoing microservice based architecture and inching past 100+ microservices. Any new feature need data from 10+ services and each one need to build a new API / Event to support the usecase. This impose hefty penalty on the feature turn-around time. Any suggestions to come out of this problem?

Well, somebody is lying. Amazon previously claimed graviton3 had 300GB/sec memory bandwidth.

https://www.mgt-commerce.com/blog/aws-announces-general-avai...

300 x 1.75 = 525, ~536. Per chip.

If the new chip has more cores, then where is the extra bandwidth hiding?
> I always plug in the charger if the car's going to be parked for more than a couple weeks.

Is Tesla heavier?

Tesla model s has same weight as Porsche Panamera S.
rep movsb might have been fast at one point but it definitely was not for a few decades in the middle, where vector stores were the fastest way to implement memcpy. Intel decided that they should probably make it fast again and they have slowly made it competitive with the extensions you’ve mentioned. But for processors that don’t support it, using rep movsb is going to be slow and probably not something you’d want to pick unless you have weird constraints (binary size?)
There is some work to do still[1], but a variable version will probably be available once the fonts are released on the Google Fonts service.

Wow, it has CUDA support even though it's built with Cosmopolitan? Awesome, I see Cosmopolitan just this month added some support for dynamic linking specifically to enable GPUs! This is amazing, I'm glad they found a way to do this. https://github.com/jart/cosmopolitan/commit/5e8c928f1a37349a...

I see it unfortunately requires the CUDA developer toolkit to be installed. It's totally possible to distribute CUDA apps that run without any dependencies installed other than the Nvidia driver. If they could figure that out it would be a game changer.
I love how the Cybertruck looks like something out of a SEGA Saturn game, but I still don't want any EV from any manufacturer until I can get one that won't spy on me.
Some of the top selling vehicles in America are made by companies with atrocious build quality like Ford, GM, and Chrysler.

I think it depends on who is evaluating the term "danger" here. If you ask the former members of the board, they may say that productizing without sufficient caution is the biggest danger.

Of course, there are many definitions of "sufficient," as well.

You guys are "interesting" in this c++ world

C# has operator overloading and during my whole career I have never seen it abused so hard that people needed to ban it, let alone write guidelines and a lot of shops adopting it.

I barely see anyone use it not for really good cases like graphics.

The only interesting case was using "/" operator for Path Combines so "home" / "folder1" performs Path.Combine("home", "folder1")

but still, that was PoC or lib, not even prod.

So, is it about community, some culture or actually what?
Funny how Kia ranks so highly above others.

But I'm dubious because Mini is near the top. And are Porsche and BMW known to be reliable? You can't even get your oil changed except at slecialized centers. I assume they're reliable in the same way airplanes are: lots of maintenance intervals.
Religion died, but the fervor of the faithful never did.
It is documented; this is a performance bug.
I get your point but there is also a huge amount of aping what is successful.

E.g., as gas mileage requirements increase, you'd expect things to become more aerodynamic. Separate from that, the Ford Escape was reworked to look like a knock off Subaru and the Ford Explorer was reworked to look like a knock off Range Rover. If it were just a matter of convergent evolution to fit the constraints of US gas mileage regulations, why did the Ford Explorer also copy the Range Rover's hood lettering?
Also, they wrote “sufficiant”. I guess they meant sufficient.
Yeah I sometimes write tests that are separate from external dependencies still, I think the freedom I gained through this attitude is that I don’t stress too much about it, especially in the early stages. This gives me “good enough” coverage most of the time without the sorts of extreme bending over backwards to mock out every little dependency that a purist unit testing approach would entail.

As a side note I really liked using Lettuce when I was working with Django not so much because of the whole “BDD” thing which was lost on me but because of the way they did database fixtures.

I wrote a little automated test runner in PHP that uses the same approach, and later wrote a little test runner in node with the same name (but never implemented database testing in it because I’m not masochistic enough to use asynchronous code to access a database):

Tesla's ability to spin up utility scale battery manufacturing is what is contributing towards the phaseout of fossil electrical generation. That capability is built off the back of its vertical integration and vehicle manufacturing leading to cell production learning rate. It is incredibly simple for someone to assume that giving up cars solves the problem. 90M light vehicles are sold globally annually. How many have been given up? Without scaling up EVs and battery storage, there is no success by pleading everyone take the bus. Some people might forgo a vehicle, and those are small wins, but you aren't going to move the needle on ~16M/units a year in vehicle sales in the US and the global sales I previously mentioned. If people choose to buy cars, sell them EVs.

TLDR Pats on the back aren't going to drive down petroleum consumption in any material fashion.

i second this approach, it's a good practice to meet people where they are at and as it is an "open minded" environment, this should be the expectation, not a conformity to the norm.
>Humanity is lucky to have him

This is more hyperbolic as anything negative I've read about him the press.
>> The point is that if you work in the service sector, you rapidly realize that customers have a choice about whether or not to patronize businesses with transparently shitty policies. That those businesses stay in business tells you something about the ethics of the people who give them their business. And how those customers treat the employees tells you the rest. The point, as I've made a couple of times now, is that the customers of shitty businesses share some of the blame for their shitty, abusive business practices.

And yet the employees' burden lands on their employers?

What a silly argument... it lands wherever it should, whether they feel it's customers not tipping well or employers not paying well. None of it is their care. The care is to put a roof over one's head. The details are irrelevant in any situation.
Pretty much all cars sell at a loss. The chip issues appreciating car values is not a generally normal thing for vehicle values.

> The Deepmind researchers wrote that it informed OpenAI of the vulnerability on August 30 and that the company patched it out. “We believe it is now safe to share this finding, and that publishing it openly brings necessary, greater attention to the data security and alignment challenges of generative AI models. Our paper helps to warn practitioners that they should not train and deploy LLMs for any privacy-sensitive applications without extreme safeguards.”
What?

You said "i'm happy running it on my ...vps."

And now "Then I wouldn't use Roundcube either." So you're not running roundcube then?

Also, love how you said you loved roundcube because it works on "lightweight el cheapo VPS", and then backtracked once you found out it uses PHP.

There was no reason to think he would bid $54.20/share for Twitter, either.

There was no reason to think he would call a guy a pedophile for criticizing his submarine idea.

There was no reason to think he would name his kid with nonstandard characters.

There was no reason to think he would offer to trade horses for blowjobs.

There was no reason to think he would _______. I'm not saying he's a Nazi, or that he is especially likely to call himself one. It's impossible to say whether he is more likely to wake up one morning identifying as a Zen Buddhist, or a Laveyan Satanist, or a Nazi, or a Methodist.

You don't know what he'll say or do to hose the value of your car, and neither do I, and neither does he.
How has Nvidia stifled anything?

Nothing besides $ prevented their competitors from developing their own GPUs and software stack comparable to CUDA.
When I worked in London a lot of weekly commuters flew rather than to the train from Scotland, or even Manchester given the absurd peak time train fares even though flying was usually slower on that route.

These commuter trips definitely won’t be replaced with small planes since capacity at London airports is too constrained.
It's being done. The Mesa project has drivers for OpenCL (RustiCL) and Vulkan under development on any hardware that can provide the underlying facilities for that kind of support. This provides the basic foundation (together with other projects like SYCL) for a high-level alternative that can be properly supported across vendors (minus the expected hardware-specific quirks).

There is a lot of propaganda about Japan's culture, but there is no mistaking that it is indeed different and quite unique, not always in good ways. It is quite common for island or peninsula countries to have strong, unique cultures, and Japan certainly sits at the exceptional end of that in terms of how strong the culture is.

What specifically are you balking at?
My Kia EV6 does that, and when the 800V battery pack is charging the 12V battery while parked, an orange light on top of the dashboard goes on.

This had me worried the first few times it happened. Then I found out it is a warning to mechanics/tow truck drivers/first responders that the high voltage system is energized.

The full quote is:

"Employee demographics are “diverse,” sort of—I would guess, based on a visual survey of the cafeteria at lunchtime, that about a third of the staff is South Asian, a third is East Asian, and a third is white. The workers are overwhelmingly male."

That second sentence that the original poster here dropped gives you explicit clarification vs solely trying to infer what the quotation marks are doing.
