They are bonded there for safety reasons and that bond needs to be low impedance.

The reason is that you don’t want to allow a fault which puts a line voltage (120VAC) onto the chassis of a piece of equipment waiting for a human to come along and complete the circuit to ground. So, you use the protective earth to connect to the chassis, such that if a power line ever did contact it, it would be a dead short to ground, which would trip the OCPD (over-current protection device, typically a circuit breaker), clearing the fault.

If you replace this safety mechanism with something that’s high-enough impedance to maintain a 12VDC differential, you’ve eliminated this important safety mechanism in your AC distribution system.

This is a very interesting point. Arguably the last century was an anomaly with constant growth afforded by scientific progress and post-war reconstruction, so it's possible we don't know what modern steady state looks like yet. I really hope it doesn't look like the pre-renaissance steady state.
It'd go just fine. Here's a quick Google Scholar search for the header of the MLA citation standard for unattributed Britannica articles. [1] There are thousands. Encyclopedias are fine sources, but Wikipedia is not. Encyclopedias biggest shortcoming would be that for specialized topics one would of course be far better served by books, papers, and the likes.

The CellBE chip used in the PS3 was like that: a full PPC 'main' processor and 8 'Synergistic Processing Element' which were (oversimplifying) stripped down processors with a lots of registers, small amount of local memory and an interconnect. Interesting idea, but in the end, not very easy to program effectively.

I do do remember seeing the Parallella and thinking 'hm, baby CellBE'. What did you create with yours?
Life is harsh, sure, but "perfectionism," is a terrible and over-freighted word for someone stuck in a double bind and suffering as the result of it. Consider the situations from which someone might acquire a pathological fear of some kinds criticism. A huge likelihood is that as the result of submitting to uncertainty they have been:

- personally abused and shamed

- made the object of sadism or cruelty

- humiliated to their peers

- had important things taken from them

- been isolated

- lost an important relationship

If you know someone suffering from a bind like that, find a way to tell them that "this is not that," and you can have a big impact on their life.
You can also unbuffer stdout in a wrapper then exec your program. GNU-ish systems, including Linux, usually include a command called stdbuf that does this:

stdbuf -i0 -o0 -e0 /some/command

Where -i is for stdin, -o is for stdout, and -e is for stderr, and the number is the buffer size.
On the latest cortex, CGP Grey made the point that what's happening in youtube education-adjacent videos is much the same as what's happening for entertainment in those spaces: the law of the excluded middle. You either do long infrequent videos e.g., like MrBeast, or frequent short videos. Both CGP Grey and Tom Scott did frequent mid-length content, which gets squeezed out.

"This isn’t something anyone used, it was a meme."

It is a meme in the Dawkins' sense of the word. The set of three symbols contains the necessary and sufficient information to connect to an open wireless node (has-content or purpose). Warchalk symbols can *mutate* by being drawn expertly (think surface location and size) or poorly (bad handwriting makes SSID illegible) and can be deployed expertly (sign marks the location of highest signal strength) or poorly (sign only gives general area--YMMV). Warchalking can *replicate*, because once I demonstrate these symbols, any techie could replicate the Warchalking meme.

The cultural context of 2002 is really interesting. In 2002 and we're still on 802.11a/b. The Apple AirPort was out at that time. As I recall, you were required to set it up (didn't have default SSID/password), and you could leave it open. You might just do that if you're not so hip to the whole SSID and WEP terminology, and thinking differently about you network's security--more simply as a computer hardware consumer. And Jonny Ive was making some smart looking Apple products that sparked consumer consumption. Lots of product in the hands of novice computer users.

Piracy was huge! Software (Hotline) and music (Napster). The punk ethic (going to war against the man/corporations), before music industry went on it's own war against piracy. I would even go as far to suggest (software) piracy and it's punk ethic was rebranded as "darkweb" full of terrorists and predators.

Squat and Gobble and coffee shops were adding WIFI to attract customers. Warchalking demonstrates to a decision maker it doesn't take much information to communicate this service to these potential laptop carrying high-income customers. You don't have to "Warchalk" to get something useful out the Warchalking meme.

People leaving their networks open is just bad network security. It was never going to last to become widely adopted practice. (Now all of our routers come pre-configured with default SSID and passwords--that's another story, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Default_password).

Warchalking, no matter how many people did this (five or five hundred people), it still works as a meme. It communicates, it mutates, and it replicates. Brilliant.

A New Year and New Tests: GPU L1 Cache Bandwidth
I can provide an example. I work on spaceflight mission planning software that runs in Electron. We're using a lot of cutting edge Web APIs like WebGPU, SharedWorker, OffscreenCanvas, and Atomics. There's no way we would be able to ship something that would reliably work cross-platform if we used the OS's webview or whichever browser they prefer.

There's other considerations as well. The biggest advantage Electron provides over other libs that use OS webview (e.g. Tauri) is I can use whichever newer features I want (e.g. CSS nesting) as long as they're supported by whichever version of Chrome Electron ships with.

That being said, I get why Electron gets a lot of hate. I've been developing Electron apps professionally for the last 4 years. I can't use VS Code because I'm _accutely_ aware that it's Electron. I think 80% of Electron apps in the wild should probably just run in the browser. If you don't need to do stuff like access the filesystem, spawn processes, or interact with the OS in a way that the browser doesn't provide, you should probably just stick with the web app.

I completely agree with the premise that labeling people dead weight is wrong.
My question was about rewarding people who step further.

Specifically about this:

> Even harmful to those you have estimated as "top performers" should they make the kind of kind of money you think they deserve. It is a false estimation of their ability and contribution, and there is seldom worse than confidently false judgements that exclude some people and favor others. Harmful to all parties involved.
Avoid hype. Tooling might change, but stick to what works. But on the flip side if such tooling 10x's your productivity, it might be worth swapping out old methods. I call these 'game changer' tools. But they are rare enough that I can stay relevant with my current stack.
What are the powerful domestic companies/interests who are against the copyright terms? I always viewed copyright extensions as being good for the masses but bad for corporations (the copyright holders)
I dramatically cut down my consumption of added sugars several years ago (added sugars are, as the term suggests, those "added" where they wouldn't be on their own -- eg a bowl of blueberries on its own clearly has sugars. Package those blueberries in a preserve and the preserve will have "added" sugar, not just the sugar from the blueberries themselves).

On the one hand, I'm afraid to say that I can't report any dramatic night and day difference. I do have in general more energy, better dental health, etc, but subjectively that all felt _slightly_ better, not click-baity better. On the other hand, I can report it hasn't been all that dramatic -- I didn't upend my life, made what really felt more like slight changes. Probably the biggest change for me was breakfast -- instead of carbs it's generally Greek yogurt, frozen fruit, nuts, and raisins (for sweetness), and coffee. I also check labels more -- who knew, for instance, that tomato soup had so much added sugar!

I take that as a win since, objectively, it _is_ much healthier to have less added sugars in my diet, and I got this gain without anything overly dramatic or disruptive. And it kicked off a gradual changing of other habits -- I got back to going to the gym regularly a few years after that, and have gotten better at keeping a regular bed time.

The tl;dr I'm trying to make here -- smaller, gradual changes do make a difference, are worth doing, and don't have to be dramatic (and are easier to stick to).

my concern with the holocene calendar is that it introduces unwanted ambiguity in assertions like "we expect two meters of sea level rise by the year 12124". is that in 100 years or 10100 years?

I think this is one of those cases where representative democracy diverges from democracy proper.

It isn’t clear in the first place what a weapon means in evolutionary terms, I mean it is a competitive process, what isn’t a weapon? Plants tremble at the sheep’s ferocious teeth.

> China’s “reunification” with Taiwan is inevitable, President Xi Jinping said in his New Year’s address on Sunday, striking a stronger tone than he did last year with less than two weeks to go before the Chinese-claimed island elects a new leader.

"striking a stronger tone" is simply factually incorrect. He said reunification is a "historical inevitablity" (历史必然), which is word-for-word the exact same language he's been using since as far back as 2014. [1]

Without a doubt people give up for a host of different reasons, but I don't actually think that is what we should focus on or is the key takeaway.

The important part to focus on is not giving up.
Yes, and the more accessible it is, the more widespread it will be.
I think this dynamic is different depending on 1. how elite that elite talent actually is (I think of elite athletes here, where one might be elite enough to be on the roster of a top level team, but not elite enough to be the de-facto best on the team - they have a whole bunch of rules to follow, but the best of the best on that team can effectively do as they please); and more importantly, 2. what stage the company is at. A small company with an elite team or elite performer has a whole different set of challenges or structure to deal with versus an elite team or performer at a large established behemoth like Apple.
I couldn't agree with you more.

Sadly enough the supercomputers we have still let us get away with the worst of the worst of performances with little penalties
Great points about how managers can help, as it is their job. At a company, there are the incentives but the desired output by any means necessary (e.g. relying on the “superstar”) can supersede creating a solid team.

Regarding improving group projects in schools: This is not a good idea, but a thought: school groups have rotating “managers” that are made to mainly coordinate and communicate with the professor. This mirrors the dynamic in industry, but I can see it becoming a nightmare, far worse than the current paradigm.

Also, documentation is a great idea, and I think pull requests are useful way to track this and improve the situation - by taking action to fix a problem and create an artifact of the action (with comments on the why).

I quit eating sugar 4 years ago. No specific health problems, but having seen a couple of similar articles I thought it would be a good idea. When I got my first checkup about a year after stopping, my numbers had all improved drastically with essentially no other big changes in lifestyle. Positive reinforcement!

You do have to be careful about your grocery selections. One of my favorite boogeymen is the product called peanut spread which comes in a jar just like peanut butter and looks just like it, but it's loaded with added sugar. Of course, some brands of peanut butter are, too, but this is a thing with the high end products that you'd think wouldn't do that.

But, my advice is just stop adding sugar to recipes and stop eating stuff that is obviously sugar laden (muffins, cookies, etc). Over time, you become somewhat sensitized to foods that have it where you don't expect it. Check labels when in doubt, but basically, don't sweat the small stuff and absolutely don't refuse a small piece of your niece's birthday cake - it won't kill you.

Would be tough to ask donors to give an extra 100mm back, or ask politicians to sell assets during a recession-recovery, during election season for a president (who may have also been a recipient?).

Biggest losers here are the creditors of FTX, BlockFi, and other US persons who need the estate to get back as much money as they can.

Seems like donations are still a lite-immunity pass (he’s still going to jail, but not longer). Also might protect the parents from criminal liability (not civil), which gives credence to a number of ‘political immunity’ conspiracies

Everytime a soccer team, or any other team, is built around one individual, it is only ever as good as said individual. If that is done, no titles are won and no great accomplishments achieved.
I think an underrated skill is the ability to say no to work that "has to be done." You're maybe taking it as a given that there is this list of -stuff- that simply has to be done, and therefore we need a bigger team to do it. Often that -stuff- are features nobody wants, UI re-designs for their own sake, and adding metrics nobody is going to look at. Many companies lack this ability to curate so we get the software we have today.

A good eng manager or product owner says NO to a lot of crap. Bad ones triple their team size, hire managers of other managers to deal with the huge org, implement process to keep things sane, all to cram stuff into the product that should not even be written in the first place.

Google’s PageRank is why SEO became a thing, so I respectfully disagree with your timeline.
You don't. The liver can make glucose from fat, and the body can run on ketones as its primary energy source. That's the basis of the now famous "keto diet".

Now, I don't advocate for the keto diet, and if you indent to do that you should probably talk to a doctor, like for all restrictive diets.

EDIT: I misread your statement. Of course you would die of starvation if you couldn't make glucose. But why couldn't you make glucose, assuming you don't have a specific disease preventing it.

I don't have a definite reason you (or anybody in particular) should choose Digicert but I can give you a couple of ideas of where technically they might be a good choice and ISRG (Let's Encrypt) are not.

Firstly there may be policy issues and you can pay Digicert to care whereas you can't pay Let's Encrypt to care about your problems. Meta for example pays (paid?) their issuer to obey their private extra requirements on top of the rules for the Web PKI when it comes to names in the famous facebook.com 2LD.

Secondly trust issues. Obviously for a mainstream browser or similar, ISRG are trusted, but maybe you've got a fleet of Multi-function Printers from 2015 across 54 offices and alas none of them trust Let's Encrypt for the TLS servers. Yes, this was a dumb purchase but you don't have a time machine and the people who maintain this fleet keeps telling you the next version will definitely fix it, so meanwhile you're buying Digicert certificates.
