That's an interesting observation that's never occurred to me. As a teen I got a 4k 8-bit home computer in 1981, connected it to the family TV and taught myself BASIC programming from the manuals that came with it and by typing in simple game program listings from hobbyist magazines. As I got the hang of it I started customizing, expanding and combining different games just as you did.

When I got tired of BASIC and wanted to do more, the only option was this thing called assembly language. The three letter mnemonics were kind of cryptic at first but I somehow got the idea of calling up Motorola and some kind sales rep took pity on me and sent me the reference book for the 6809 CPU. The book was too advanced for me but fortunately, it came with folding quick reference card with a simple chart showing the registers, a listing of all the mnemonics and a sentence or two about each one. That card was my constant companion as I taught myself assembler by writing simple programs that would put graphics on the screen.

Just as you said, I never really had any conceptual problem with ideas like holding a numeric value in a register, an index pointer storing the address of a string or array in memory or conditionally branching. All of these had fairly direct analogs in BASIC like LET, IF, GOTO, GOSUB, ARRAY, PEEK and POKE. Even primordial 8-bit ROM based BASIC wasn't that awful. The biggest challenges were the lack of editing tools, being locked into line numbers and the cryptic two-letter error codes. I think a modern BASIC dialect with full-screen editing (no line numbers), named function calling with parameter passing and a decent debugger would still provide a reasonable introduction to computer programming.

This was enough to launch me on a successful lifelong career in high tech as a programmer, product manager, entrepreneur and eventually senior executive. Every bit of it self-taught with no formal computer education at all.

It's not like PL/I didn't allow for similar flaws, so "Worse is better" is neither here nor there. At least C was simple enough to learn for most programmers. It's still generally the case that a simple approach is more likely to be correct than an overly complicated one for which it's not even clear what "correct" means.

I did a comparison on your data sets such as DS1, and S3-FIFO had very lower hit ratios than LRU in most cases. I think there are very limited situations where S3-FIFO is best.
I don’t know if it is that GUIs hate tests or that tests hate UIs but either way it means UI code is hard to test.

The trouble is that a UI element usually calls the framework and gets called by the framework so you wind up needing mocks and such. Or you have something like React which is just batshit crazy (e.g. do I wait until the component renders 7321 times or 7322 times before I can check that it is in the state it is supposed to be in?)

Thanks for the links, but notably there's a large gap between 'a single transistor or diode' and even the simplest real world microchip, such as the SN7400.

Everything before that stage, down to mining ore out of the ground, is understandable.

And everything after that stage is also understandable, at least to the level of an Intel 386 processor.

The gap is what I believe there are no resources online.
Your passionate attack of Marxism and defense of military coups is negated by the fact these coups torture and kill thousands of people in the name of the Free Market.

Your whole analogy is moot: if a Nazi achieves power via democratic means, and stays there via democratic means, he wouldn't be a Nazi: Nazism is the rule of antidemocratic Might Makes Right; he wouldn't remain democratic if things didn't go his way. Which paradoxically, is precisely what you seem to be advocating: that it's ok to abandon democracy when it doesn't go your way.

I appreciate your honesty and candor: you dislike democracy, and your worldview is despicable and vile. Still, your honesty is something!

What will all those new people do, maybe some fraction will build homes...

For places like the US, which this article is about, we are nowhere near a high rate of immigration, and population growth is nowhere near historical rates.

What is at historical rates is restriction on the ability to build homes. We have never had greater artificial restrictions on growth than now. Our history do the past century is coming up with ways to prevent the natural densification that humanity has used throughout its history.
Almost certainly fake. Amazon was flooded with cards like these a few years ago.

For example, you could get a "1TB" card at a bargain price, less than 10% the cost of a legitimate 1TB card. But the actual capacity would be something like 8GB, and the firmware was hacked to report a larger capacity than actually existed.

Why do you say that?
I've been using RPIs since their first release and never had an SD card failure. Might just be luck though cause I know the problem is real and happens to many people.
Manufacturers were doing this well before OBD2. They'd look for a condition where the car was started and then idle raised and held raised, for example.

Once things like CANBUS became popular, as well as ECUs getting integrated with ABS/traction control, they'd look for drive wheels spinning and but not undriven wheels. When stability control systems became a thing, they could monitor steering angle and look for the car moving but not being steered, ditto for the accelerometer not detecting acceleration and cornering.

Tuners knew all about this shit because they disassembled ECU code and looked at ROM formats. They could point you right to the table used for when the ECU thought it was undergoing emissions testing. The cheating was plain as day and no government regulators cared enough to look. They probably even knew it was going on.

Here's the billion dollar question: the ECUs aren't developed by the car manufacturers. They aren't even coded by thr manufacturers. The car manufacturer just puts in maps for various engine parameters. The ECUs are supplied by companies like Bosch, Hitachi, Nippon-Denso, Magneti-Marelli, and so on.

They almost certainly knew this was going on and were complicit. Why have none of them been held responsible?

That's a different definition of odor than commonly accepted. If you can't consciously perceive it, it's not an odor. Just like you can't see the TV remote shine a bright infrared light. We don't call TV remotes flashlights, because we can't perceive infrared. If we can't consciously perceive a smell, it's described as odorless.

Israel has repeatedly blocked the 2 state solution. Even Rabin’s stance was “the Palestinians should have something but something less than full statehood”

Israel encouraged Hamas by allowing Qatari support in to Gaza with the intent of keeping Gaza and the West Bank

Finally the Hamas charter was amended and no longer calls for the destruction of Israel.

In any case Israel (with the support of the US) has all the power in this conflict and they are the ones actually killing tens of thousands of innocents no matter what Hamas’ official position is.

The claim seems reasonable. Most of the time infrastructure is fine, but that 20% of the time between 4pm and 6pm when you are actually using it, it often is not.

More following distance => less throughput. There is already a math problem at play for how to get millions of single occupancy to and from a given location in a day. Which is to say, gridlock occurs today - it is a fact. Increasing following distance by 2 to 5x would potentially be quite bad for otherwise heavy but flowing traffic. Eg: NYC, it is known for good throughput. Light turns green, everyone picks up speed and keeps tight following distances. Anything less and that city would lock up more so than it already does.

Part of the issue is just complexity and variety. 2x following distances on most highways would likely be only a good thing. But in each and every circumstance, not necessarily good, perhaps disaster.

It's ok to be wrong.
This is greatly complicated by the fact that Israel materially supported Hamas and saw it as useful.

Ultimately Israelis don't have to suffer serious attacks from Hamas. Hamas doesn't have that power, militarily - only gross incompetence from the IDF allows that kind of attack.

On the other hand, Israel is not facing good geopolitical headwinds. As Yemen demonstrated, they are extremely vulnerable to a blockade. One day, in the not so distant future, the US won't be able to intercept all the missiles of Israel's enemies on its behalf, and Israel will have to contend with the threat of a total blockade.

So Israel desperately needs to make amends with its Arab neighbors, and it can stop any real attack from Hamas. That makes the situation pretty different and assymetrical.

It also bears note that, if you judge Gaza as a country, it would not be able to cause any act of agression, as the Israeli blockade alone constitutes an act of war and a casus belli. That of course doesn't justify Hamas's inhuman war crimes, but acting as if war is unprovoked is not consistent with reality - Israel has never, by the definitions in international law, stopped actively waging war against Gaza.

This is not FTL in any real sense.

The apparent motion of distant galaxies is just that - an appearance only. In our frame of reference, they appear to be receding faster than light, but in their own frames of reference, these galaxies themselves are not actually moving any faster than our own galaxy does.[0]

Imagine you shine a laser pointer at the moon and are still able to see the dot. With a flick of your wrist, you move the dot from one side of the moon to the opposite side. If you did this quickly enough, the dot could appear to have moved ftl - but in reality, there was no superluminal acceleration.

[0] galaxies are obviously still interacting and moving relative to local neighbors

Weird, though, I asked for "6 inch by 6 inch plate with four bolt holes for NEMA 42 motor frame, centered on plate".[1] That should get me four holes in a square pattern. It got me three holes.

It has no clue what the standard NEMA motor frame sizes are, because I asked for a nonexistent NEMA number and it accepted it. That's an LLM hallucinating, probably. It's not an acceptable feature in engineering.

It's a tale of two cities type situation. I lived there for 6 years from 84 to 90. Met my wife who was born and raised there. One of her sisters married a mechanical engineer who did ventilation/plumbing for semi fabs. They bought a Townhouse in the heart of Cuptertino for ~$175K in 86. She was a real estate agent. They divorced a few years ago and I heard they sold it for $1.6M. Her other sister worked temp jobs for years and had some writing and sound board gigs. She was house sitting but essentially homeless in San Jose when she died of a stroke a few years back age 53.

We left for Oregon in 1990 because the price of houses then (about $250K) just seemed precariously high and we didn't want to live the kind of lifestyle that was required to pay that kind of mortgage.
This is the weirdest fix I've ever done. I had a Surface Pro 3 that was working fine and then suddenly died and would not power on. I couldn't figure out anything to fix it.

Eventually I read a random post on Reddit[0] how a guy tried putting it his SP3 in the freezer (in a sealed freezer bag) and it eventually came back to life.

I skeptically tried it. I thought freezing was more likely to destroy something else on it, but what did I have to lose? It was already dead.

I put it in a sealed freezer bag with as much air removed as possible, and then put it in the freezer for a couple of hours. I took it out, plugged power in, and I was able to turn it on!

The first time I did it, it only worked for a few days. I tried freezing it again, and that worked. It still works to this day, many years later. My theory is that it seemed like a power problem, and that freezing the battery put the chemistry through some kind of cycle that repaired it.

I did keep the Surface wrapped in layers of towel to warm it back up slowly. Mostly to help prevent any moisture from building up somewhere before it got to temperature.

I have supported Ukraine in the war for a long time but this claim I do not understand.

Surely a power plant has military value right? If you destroy the power plant, you impact the country's economic and manufacturing ability which would definitely impact the country's ability to wage war.

Obviously it also severely impacts civilians but many other "acceptable" actions in war do the same.

In my head I imagine a war between a military run off of portable gas generators and a military run off of power plants. The difference in capability between the two would be huge!
