Isn't the high startup cost what FSRM is intended to solve?

> With the new Zen3 CPUs, Fast Short REP MOV (FSRM) is finally added to AMD’s CPU functions analog to Intel’s X86_FEATURE_FSRM. Intel had already introduced this in 2017 with the Ice Lake Client microarchitecture. But now AMD is obviously using this feature to increase the performance of REP MOVSB for short and very short operations. This improvement applies to Intel for string lengths between 1 and 128 bytes and one can assume that AMD’s implementation will look the same for compatibility reasons.

"you can’t be racist against Jewish people. the definition of racism centers on power not the tone of dermis. read some different books (Mein Kampf, The International Jew) and open up that independent thinking some."

Yes, but the Chalcedonian schism and the East-West schism were between churches who viewed themselves ostensibly as equals, or at least on a relatively equal footing — bishops leading one church against bishops leading another. The Protestant Reformation was more like a revolution: people fed up with the Church for whatever reason rebelling against it. There were antecedents, like the Lollards who had many of the same complaints the Protestants had, but their movements never stuck or spread in the same way that Protestantism did. That, I believe, can be attributed to the printing press

Judging by the project, it's implemented by instrumenting the source code; either manually modifying error returns with a wrapper function, or by running source files through an automated tool that will find and modify the return statements for you.

This is a little bit more true in the world of online reviews by random strangers. But if you find a reviewer that you “know well” they can be a godsend. You know their quirks, you know what you liked and they didn’t, etc. then a new review is full of this extra information. Their review isn’t a yes/no recommendation, it is parallax you can use to better understand if you will like it or not.
This process doesn't have to be the result of any nefarious intent.

AIUI, it's common when taking on debt for the creditors to try to protect their investment by including specific performance guarantees. There may be numbers that the company has to maintain around revenue, inventory turnover, etc. - or the creditors will have the right to call the debt.

The thing is, the need for the creditors to limit their risk isn't necessarily aligned with the overall best interest of the company. Conforming to these debt covenants can force the borrower to act for short-term numbers at the expense of long-term performance, a sort of Goodhart's Law effect caused by the metrics imposed in the debt covenants.

I've seen my employer become the beneficiary of this through a couple of periods of tough markets. Privately held with zero debt, our CEO was able to solidify our market position at the same time our competitors were doing obviously dumb things, the result of which is that we came out of those difficult times very much stronger in the industry.

Reasonable take.

I'd be curious about typical financing terms in retail for physical expansion.

But time at a few solid, well-run companies made me appreciate how important a powerful but ego-less CFO is to success. Someone in the room to say "Doing that will cost a lot in the future. What about this alternative?"

I'd also be curious about the frequency of successful debt management schemes... it seems something of a prisoner's dilemma if you're a large shareholder in a heavily-indebted business.

Either you allow the company to plow revenue into paying down debt (maybe for years), or you preempt your fellow investors and launch a raid to extract value for yourself before it implodes.

It seems like making companies more resistant against raid-and-dump-debt would be good for all involved (companies, their creditors, the entire pool of equity holders... basically everyone except raiders).
We did exactly this when packaging and deploying large node manifests at one of my former companies.

Be super careful of removing large swaths of files. Out of 150,000 node modules in your manifest, I'm willing to bet at least one of them is doing something by reading one of these non-source files.
(not OP, but another Brother fan) I've bought two Brother multifunction monochrome lasers, both are still running fine.

I have the Brother MFC-L5800DW and it's predecessor (~$450). Both are amazing.

I stepped up to this price range because models at this price point have a USB slot in front so you can directly scan to a thumb drive, or print from a thumb drive.

Both have an extremely powerful scanning function e.g., scan to an SMTP server, local FTP server etc etc.

These are the Dewalt of printers e.g., full native Postscript, native LPR daemon the device etc.

Works excellently with iOS's CUPS too.

i am not arguing their decision is wrong on their real world system. It is a system design interview with a hypothetical situation completely unrelated to their prod system, where I suggest a different db than MySQL. They are the ones arguing that my decision is wrong and MySQL is the correct choice, at which point you have to defend your choices.
Also after writing this, I noticed the inconsistency (from my view) that in English there are exceptions with words written uppercased, too, like "German", despite being an adjective and not a noun. Which might be irritating, as these words can also be used as noun (also for other words which are not nationalities and written lowercase), and there is no distinction between an adjective and a noun.

In German all adjectives are lowercase, all nouns uppercase.
Hybrid vehicles have much lower inventory levels, supporting Toyota's argument that consumers want a stepping stone to fully electric cars. There's a relatively tight 44-day supply of hybrids industrywide, according to Cox.
Toyotas are in particularly short supply — under 30 days each for Prius and RAV4 hybrids and plug-in hybrids.

> I run Xfce on a Framework 13

Do you do much gaming or 3D stuff? I have a Framework 13 AMD running NixOS (Kernel 6.6 and BIOS 3.03) and its performance is great in desktop apps, but simple games seem to really work it. And by "simple" I'm talking about Everquest Titanium that runs smooth as butter via PoL on an i3-7100U (Xubuntu 18.04), and also Wobbly Life that runs happily on a Lenovo with Ryzen 4500U (Windows 11). Both of those games cause my FW 13 to spin fans up like crazy after a couple mins and sound like it's going to take-off. I'm trying to figure out if I'm missing something from my NixOS setup, because I feel like its performance should be better.
I use https://pnpm.io whenever possible. It has many benefits, the main one is that the node modules are symlinked to one big repo in your home directory, so there isn’t nearly as much duplication.

this was my great-grandmother. The last two years of her life were her just waiting to die, and if she hadn't thought it would doom her to hell she would have done something herself.

I have to say I sort of understand where she was coming from. She lived to over a hundred years old. Her husband and children had passed by the time she was 98, all of her friends were dead, she couldn't participate in public (church etc) life in a way she found fulfilling... It honestly seems like a terrible situation to be in.
idk ... depends heavily on the situation i think.

Netflix wasted so much potential thinking they are a tech company instead of thinking they are a media company. That's why unfortunately they will slowly fade away instead of becoming a media powerhouse like Disney.
I think news sharing on Facebook mainly leads to outrage spirals and toxic engagement. That’s why I say the platform is better off without it. I’m disappointed that people have been able to circumvent the block with screenshots though.
So much for my ai-worshipping cult get-rich-quick scheme. Turns out that you can automate the flock just as well as the shepherds.
It’s pretty easy to write your own Errorf() wrapper or some sort of WithStack() that stores runtime/debug.Stack() output. github.com/pkg/errors offers more flexibility in formatting though.

If the computation doesn't compute completely and deterministically on all substrates, then it isn't substrate independent though is it?

You don't seem to understand the point of ABS brakes. The way to achieve maximum deceleration in a car IS to lock up the wheels. The reason ABS brakes exist is because when the wheels are locked, the car is sliding as opposed to rolling, which causes the car to skid instead of turn when you turn the steering wheel. Average drivers tend to struggle with this and end up spinning out of control.

So ABS brakes pump the brakes rapidly as a compromise between controllability and stopping distance, which allows the average driver in an emergency to just "stomp and steer" instead of having to learn how to control a skid, which is a more advanced driving skill. But they do this at the expense of stopping distance, which is longer than if you just locked up the brakes.

Putting the transmission in park was still unnecessary and probably useless. It's not designed for that force, so it didn't absorb any energy or help the car stop faster; it just blew up.
I always thought the intention was to get the same deal as Australia: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-australia-56163550. It's not a surprise that Canada's media industry wanted the same deal and the government was willing to go to bat for it.

I really hate that most private code bases are named “Steve” or similar, in a sea of micro services with Stacey and Stans and then there’s Steve 2.0 projects, and the only thing they bothered to document in the readme is the origin story and maybe a cute meme picture to go with it. And all of those people are gone and I’m a new employee and it’s not funny anymore.

Everybody please just be serious, name it what it is, and document private business code like a professional. You’re getting paid so please take your job seriously.
It depends on what you mean by "that". Getting control surfaces actually reversed is not very common, but it does happen, typically after maintenance when a mechanic inadvertently re-connects a control cable backwards.

Control cables also can and do break, but that too is fairly rare.

What is not rare is control mechanisms jamming. Here is an example:

Music is very subjective but I've so far seen no model that's convincing. If you like it that's cool I suppose. I personally use algorithmic composing plenty in my own compositions (I write music for piano) and these kind of models don't do it for me. They're definitely tools, you can use them like ChatGPT to get a sense of things but we're decades away from producing "music" this way imho.
It's not enough to have separate names, implicitly you must also treat them like separate entities and duplicate the code for horses into a separate donkey entity. While the code may be similar at first, changing business requirements means that donkey code and horse code will eventually have to be evolved separately and your future self will be thanking you for duplicating code rather than tangling everything into giant mess.

Write! That! Code! Twice! Then once you have more experience in the domain, you can refactor out the parts that are actually semantically identical. Code reuse should be proven, not a given.
It also caused one accident, where both pilots thought the controls were jammed because the other pilot was pulling in the opposite direction. This is no better than averaging. At least Airbus gives an alarm.
yeah, that would be really good. I'm still thinking about how I could get that done though.

Really not sure what your argument about China is. The vast majority of their energy production remains oil & coal. This follows from previous analysis that a focus on renewables means that your dependency on oil & coal remains. It’s telling that France is one of the few countries to go all in on nuclear & remains one of the few countries that has reliable year round carbon-free power generation (& a surplus that it exports to other countries). Germany went away from nuclear in favor of renewables & their reliance on fossil fuels went up.

If solar and wind were truly more scalable, they’d be significantly reducing our dependence on fossil fuels & yet they’re still not to this day. They offset some demand but demand grows faster than our ability to actually take away from fossil fuels.

For a suburban setting, those towers are pretty ugly, and I wonder about the quality of the LED emission spectrum. I always appreciated the monochromatic yellow of sodium vapor lamps. I have noticed that some new streetlights have a striking blue-white light, I imagine that is to wake drivers up. I wonder what streetlights would be like with direct-emission monochromatic red LEDs like 1980s alarm clocks; they would less disrupting to sleep.

You'd need to run cables between them and redesign the sticks to have mechanical hooks, and it'd be a very ugly hack, but it's hardly impossible.

This feels like the boomer advice my parents would give me when I just want to rant about my job or a coworker. It's also so incredibly generic and bland that it really only applies if someone is being kind of annoying rather than weapons grade incompetent or manipulative.

It's a little more complicated than that if you want to forward some, but not all methods to the delegated object, or have multiple objects you want to delegate to. If you just have __getattr__ delegate everything to one other objects, there isn't much benefit over inheritance.

Certainly less, less by several orders of magnitude, than in the depressingly ubiquitous JSON-as-configuration use case...

You're kinda committing a conjunctive fallacy w/ some anthropic bias. The thing you're not seeing is the infinite similar multiverses that would look indistinguishable to you and you need to remember that the known universe is, very big and the rest of it could be infinite. I don't know how big that number is, but its a lot more complicated than 'this is the only way this could have happened'.

We know the laws of physics behind batteries. The theoretical best possible battery (which assumes things like spherical cows) is still very heavy compared to burning liquid fuels.

...which is an entirely deterministic output of the design of the car. Literally the reason why the car was made the way it was.

I'm failing to see your point here, but it seems you are alluding to the idea that chaos theory produces a black box of complexity, and therefore free will exists there. Which isn't really an explanation so much as an exercise in moving goal posts into unlit corridors of knowledge.

Which doesn't even make sense because chaos theory is a theory that deals with system evolution when incomplete knowledge is known about the systems starting conditions. No where in chaos theory is there talk of supernatural phenomena. It's purely a theory of practical constraints, no physical ones.
