I've gone through a box a day at peak just doing regular chemistry (biochem uses way more) so I completely believe it.

It's not like one pipet tip a minute. It's more like, you have N source vials and M destination vials/wells/rows, and you'll do that several times a day, interspersed with other processes. A cycle goes like:

10 New tip

20 Suck up sample from source n

30 Dispense into m-sub-i

40 while you still have destinations for the current solution, goto 20

50 eject tip

60 goto 10

This cycle takes maybe a few seconds to half a minute. Also multiply number of tips by P if you have a multi-tip pipette.
This is where you are wrong: it will take more time, be a bit more painful and require a different training... but your code will be shielded against compiler and language complexity and planned obsolescence, which has stellar value on the long run.

Short term-ists won't understand as this is going for the long run, and that requires perspective of what happened in software in the last decades.

I remember looking up how to disable certain features on macOS, and the people on Apple forums usually responded with some version of "Why would you want to do that? You think you know better than Apple?"
>> It seems to me that your examples rather show the futility of trying to use a license to force good behaviour rather than a reason to change licenses.

If not for the license there would be NO good behavior. Notice that nVidia is relatively Linux friendly with some exceptions and RedHat seems to be under pressure to make more money but is otherwise very Linux friendly. Without the license, all sorts of others would be blatantly ripping it off.

I contend the difference in popularity and success between the BSDs and Linux is most likely due to the GPL license.
TL;DR: maintaining a stable driver ABI is more work because you have to deal with backwards compatibility, and it mainly benefits vendors that don't make their drivers open source.

So the Linux devs are really against it both from a lack of resources point of view, and from an ideological "we hate closed source" point of view.

Unfortunately, most vendors with closed source drivers don't give a shit about ideology and simply provide binaries for very specific Linux releases. That means users end up getting screwed because they are stuck on those old Linux versions and can't upgrade.

The Linux devs have this strange idea that vendors will see this situation as bad and decide that the best option is to open source their code, but that never happens. Even Google couldn't get them to do that. This is one of the main reasons that Android OS updates are not easy and universal.

Obviously, you will have to try things out for yourself, but have you tried getting rid of sugar with absolutely no attempt to limit caloric intake? I can't say it will be a perfect solution, but it did work for me when I first started eating very low carb, which was over a decade ago. Once you're used to not eating sugar, it does become easier to start cutting calories. I didn't worry about it for at least a few months.

Yep. I have a Woocommerce site that's mostly modified by my own custom plugins.

Most of my own custom work plugs in to the old school PHP server side rendering and that works just fine. I also have what's in effect two separate SPAs in the backend. Doing these in htmx and Alpine or whatever would be an absolutely enormous headache and it would perform worse. There's no one size fits all.

Yep. This was on clear display when Linus Tech Tips did their Linux challenge a year or two ago. A lot of their complaints were just like "the wallpaper settings button isn't in the same place as Windows", with the base assumption that there was something inherently correct about Windows' choice

And there's the belief that "tech skills" = "knowing where the Windows buttons are". OK, that is true in a limited sense, that "x competency" = "familiarity with x", but the point is you can be a very skilled sysadmin or programmer who still makes "noob" mistakes trying to configure Windows just because you're more familiar with MacOS or Linux

This also extends beyond UI to platform concepts in general. I'll take Unix-or-DOS-like hierarchical filesystems as an example. Even here I've seen people equate knowledge of a hier FS structure with inherent technical ability, when discussing those "teens can't use computers" articles. It's certainly correlated, since all major operating systems do use them, but it's still a mistake to think that there's something inherently correct about choosing that storage model, over say how a mainframe or Multics did things

You don't have to declare for tax purposes unless you go over certain amounts. If you do without declaring you may get away with if for a few years but they often catch people if someone gets investigated and they see bank payments going to someone undeclared. Then you get a bit of a bill for back taxes.

It's quite laid back compared to some countries though. They usually only come after your assets. Very few people go to jail.

I wish I had written this into the original comment because I knew someone would say this.

No it isn’t - MacOS and Macs are a singular product sold together. Windows and Linux are OSes that are downloadable from the web or buyable from stores and Windows consumer hardware support is simply better. And that’s okay, there are people who will seek devices that support it better, but I am not one of them, I will just virtualize it or run it in WSL.

If Linux had 30% desktop market share that would change, but it doesn’t.

FWIW, I agree with most criticisms of Windows. It is clear Microsoft no longer treats Windows the OS as a product, they treat every individual piece of it as a product, and that’s resulting in some weird, ugly, user hostile shit, but I can still get rid of it in no time at all and have a better personal OS. I think of it like adding unlock to a browser.

If it continues down its current path, I may be willing to switch, but it hasn’t passed the value/pain curve point for me yet.

One might argue that having guns for self-defense is crucial because the police may not always be immediately available, especially in rural areas. Individuals have the duty and right to take proactive measures to protect themselves and their families in emergency situations. That becomes even more important in the face of the police cuts that you yourself mention.

One might also note the positive aspects of shooting sports, such as target shooting or competitive events, which can foster discipline, concentration, and responsible firearm handling. They provide an avenue for skill development, camaraderie among diverse groups of people from different backgrounds, and the enjoyment of a traditional and culturally significant pastime. Responsible participation in these activities contributes to the overall well-being and mental health of individuals involved, bolstering the strength and cohesiveness of the UK overall

To this day I don’t understand how “computer repair” shops are in business. When I was a shithead 16 year old I used to work at one. I found it amusing to see what files people deleted before giving us full physical access to their machines. I definitely saw things I shouldn’t have seen. It wasn’t until I saw something illegal that I freaked out and stopped doing it. I was so paranoid that I srm’ed my entire drive and theirs and never mentioned it to anybody. In retrospect I should have, but I was 16 and didn’t know what to do.
Well, they're a pentesting company. Getting access to the DC is goal #1 for every engagement they do.

Also Germany is an interesting comparison since their population is _also_ in freefall and their are looking down the barrel of a major demographic crisis.

And as for China not being democratic, the Chinese government is still very much in the hook for keeping people happy. Just look at what happened with the Covid restrictions when the population eventually had enough. The question is how bad it's gonna get next time around
Cache design has a lot of different constraints and you can exploit those constraints to build more efficient systems. And yes, people in the space are aware of GC research and leverage design concepts from there where appropriate.

Think of sieve as one component of a full caching systems. Many caching systems will combine primitives to have a “newly encountered” and “recently expired” generation where they’ll use a probabilistic filter or something similarly compact to determine whether they’ve seen something enough to spend resources caching it.

There’s memory usage concerns (frequently you want a hard upper bound on memory consumption), speed/latencies (these systems are handling many thousands of requests per second and need to have near 0 latency), and fit as much as possible into the memory constraints (eg using probabilistic filters for admittance).

SIEVE can be integrated into things like W-TinyLfu / s3fifo to replace certain individual components (I would read their papers - they’re fairly approachable and discuss the full design).
The US is fairly good at creating high GDP per capita. They are 8th behind: Luxembourg, Singapore, Ireland, Norway, Qatar, UAE and Switzerland.

Of those nations: Norway, Qatar and UAE are highly dependent on oil profits and Luxembourg is an outlier as an unusually small affluent nation. Ireland is also known to have an inflated GDP due to it's tax hub status resulting in corporations reporting high revenue numbers there even though that revenue is often disconnected from the country.

I think most nations would be thrilled to have a GDP per capita of $76,399 USD. When the proceeds are that much higher it takes an awful lot of inequality to make the outcomes worse. One of the biggest issues in the US is that health care is not covered by the government so it costs nearly double compared to most comparable countries and access is subject to all the inequality constraints that universal government programs mostly erase.

For example in Canada which has a GDP per capita of $51,987, the split between wages and capital is approximately 90-10 meaning that the average wage (including non-working population) was $46,788. For the US to have the same type of average wage of only $46,788 the share going to capital would have to be 38.8%.

Probably a very naive question, but with large animals like certain dinosaurs, could cancer potentially be more common than in humans, due to the number of cells. I imagine it's not that simple though.

Nope, "until the 1-2 maintainers lose interest" is a specific cause of project death, not a general observation that the risk is LOWER.

I would expect more permissive licenses in the future. GPL was instrumental in changing the world to an open source mindset. It fixed the problems with software that became obvious in the 90s. The world has evolved and the restriction just feel outdated now.
I work in a non-tech related field as a consultant and my company had one of its best years during Covid. We have since been acquired (also during Covid) and it doesn't look like anything is slowing down soon.
I think a big difference is the way the shell works. That, on Windows today, you can just open up a terminal in your Linux environment (bash/zsh/etc) without thinking about the VM. This becomes a much simpler path than, say, Cygwin, or a hand-managed VMWare guest. And likewise that tools for things like container management can make some reasonable assumptions about the host OS and its Linux capabilities.
After graduating college at the age of 22, I've read between 20-50 books every year.

I'm often surprised at how far ahead of the bell curve I am. I am very rarely able to have a conversation about literature with people in real life. If I'm lucky enough to find someone that's read a recently published book I've also read then they often haven't read anything else by the same author. Or they haven't read the influences the author had for the book. Or they aren't aware of the genre trends the book took part in.

For people interested in soundproofing it's probably best to have a multi-angle approach, like most headphones today. They don't focus just on being louder than other noises but on blocking them too.

I find it's not so much the small spaces but how shitty the construction is - hollow core doors, large gaps around the door, thinnest possible drywall, etc. Changing to well fit solid core doors would be a big benefit. Then of course there is old noisy bathroom fan to cover most remaining noises.
My understanding is that, while you can do surface loops with enough area, its easier and less disruptive to just do vertical holes for ground loops.

Hyperbole helps no-one. Particularly citing gun control here: the vast, vast majority of the UK population wants it and supports it. You're projecting a certain set of American values onto an entirely different situation.

Comments like this make me think the UK has the exact kind of government it deserves.
depends on the context, an airport expansion? yeah dumb, protesting something as huge as genocide or climate change? then the inconvenience cause will be a fraction of what climate change will cause (or genocide is)

common people are often short-sighted and self-destructive to their own progress
An armed population would not improve the UK government in any way.

I would even suggest that despite the USA having guns, their government is just as bad. I'm not sure that plans to develop a new airport runway would be 'stopped' by civilians turning up armed.
Except we did and all of those employers I interviewed with in December did as well. Not everyone leaves the office.

Late December is a perfect time for interviewing because of code freezes and lack of progress on bigger projects. We had more time to interview than candidates in pipeline during that back half. Plus it's a time of year when generally people are relaxed and in a good mood.
