> The situation with Object.wait() is not what JEP 444 calls "pinning". The "pinning" happens, for example, when one calls `syncronized(....) {blockingQueue.take()}` [...]

To call Object.wait() you need to own the objects monitor, which would imply that your code would actually look like `synchronized(....) {Object.wait()}` in which case you would indeed be pinned.

Wow, I did a bunch of searching and this company did not come up. I don’t know how I missed this.

That means you the kind of person that buys an experimental toaster and leaves it plugged through the night in your families kitchen?

There might be regulation that is too much, also in the field of electrical engineering (and I am a certified EE), but most of it (especially regarding toasters) is pretty useful if you want to sleep sound.

This is not about making a toaster. I could make one using a long piece of wire and a transformer. It is about making a toaster that has a certain standard and does not kill people, burn down houses and/or interferes with radio traffic. All kind of things that would suck.

If you can't clear that bar as a manufacturer, you shouldn't be one. You could still build things for yourself – but if you want to sell things to others they should be able to assume you are not out there to kill them without deeply researching your company, aquiring a degree in mechanical and electrical engineering, buying your product and disassembling it. And I say that as a person that would be able to do that, unlike most.
I don’t know. I’m through about 100 cards. I’ll let you know in a couple of months:)
This is such a good and clear take.
>throwing up a ton of warnings for apps

Users very quickly learn to ignore warning popups. It's why you end up with flashlight apps that can access your contacts with millions of downloads. This "fix" almost never works in practice. It didn't work in 2006 when Microsoft introduced it in Vista w/ UAC, and it's not going to work 18 years later where users are even less technical.

I believe you might be right regarding the port itself being the issue here. I have a Minisforum UM775 (basically the previous gen of the 790 Pro mentioned in the OP) and despite having two "USB4" ports, only one is rated for 40Gbps while the second one is 10Gbps.

I cannot find any specifics regarding the ports on this 790 Pro one, but I'm certain that's ultimately the issue: the bottleneck is on that second (the one on the right) USB4 port.

Disagreed on point 2. I was at a company more than a decade, and the only sizeable raises I got were counteroffer matches. I liked my job and company, and it made me feel valuable.

And if you say 'well if you were valuable you shouldn't have had to', you're absolutely right, but it's the way things work. My first manager told me I was underpaid, that he couldn't fix it unless I had another offer in hand as he was capped by the company at 4% raises. So I did, and he did. And I did it 4 more times, in total 4xing my pay.

I did leave eventually, but that had nothing to do with pay.

> If an app from the store wants to access your contacts or your location, the user has to approve it. Should be exactly the same with side loaded apps.

What I'm saying is that it already happens for apps from the App Store, where it asks you to allow access to contacts for example. But one of your choices is "always allow". I'm saying for third party store apps, they remove the "always allow" option. Make you approve it every time, to remind you that it's happening.

Some do. If the current state of things is what happens when vendors are required to publish their source by law, imagine how much worse it would be if they weren't - there'd be nothing.

How a software glitch at the UK Post Office ruined lives
I think many Americans want to buy Made-in-the-USA products. Some evidence of that are websites, Reddit groups, etc dedicated to helping people find those products. I think it’s generally understood by these consumers that the price will be higher. And I don’t think it needs to be premium either.

There’s a market for knit hats made in the USA. I doubt the quality assurance or price could compete with a factory from Asia, but they still sell. Partly because Americans want to support American businesses. Not the same as a toaster, but I can see consumer demand being similar.

You are confusing modes with different programs.

In VSCode you have your editor program in the middle that does the editing things. Then when you invoke your search box it over takes the control away from your editor program and you are now in the search program which behaves however differently it behaves.
If they do it like macOS, it’s a few alerts and then force them to “Open anyway” inside the settings app.
We had a Six Sigma "Program Office" that sent out pompous announcements whenever a Black Belt got his/her wings. They tried to make it sound like Top Gun. These elite and best-of-the-best would empower the project squadrons to victory over defects.

> The config files in this repository turn vim into a modeless editor. Instead of remembering cryptic commands, you can use standard key binds, like Ctrl+S to save, select text using Shift+←/→/↑/↓, and copy/paste using Ctrl+C/V.

> This configuration is not meant for the aficionado who prefers vim over graphical editors. This is meant for people who normally use GUI editors (like VSCode), but sometimes need an editor that can run in a terminal.

I think it's unrealistic to expect users who only occasionally use vim to edit the odd config file in the terminal to fiddle with a custom vim setup.

If you're really looking for a good editor that behaves like GUI editors I really recommend micro [1]. It has mouse support by default, syntax highlighting for many languages out of the box, most keybinds are the same as in GUI editors and copy/paste works like expected.

There's also a certain amount of fatigue I associate with these warnings and popups now. Its getting to the point where I'm more and more likely to just ignore them and give up my data without a fight and I say that as a software engineer.
They are the same thing of course, complexity is not relevant to the definition.

The main difference is Vim's editing modes are imperative. You have to glue together small painful commands to do what you want. Modern editors are declarative - you say "I want to move this file" or "I want to rename this variable" or "I'll drag this split here" and they do the rest.

Spreadsheets I create often have some 'global' variables, some sheet-specific ones, and many column-level formulas. It would be great to see first-class support for these. In Excel, need to copy over formulas to all cells in a column, albeit there's a short cut for that. Global abd sheet-level variables need to be put on the sides of columnar data or in separate sheets.

There are many types of safety. For example, protecting your profits! I'd imagine that if we trace the money back these organisations will look a lot like lobbyists for existing companies in the AI space. I recall Microsoft's licence enforcement effort was done with that sort of scheme, I think they used the BSA [0]. It has been a while though so maybe it was a different group.

Anyway, point being, if they can lobby for something unpopular under a different brand, that is how to do it. Much less PR risk.

A few implicit assumptions in your comment.

> After 15 years at a FAANG you must be drowning in money

I have 15 yoe total, not all in FAANG. And almost all my career is in EU anyway. My net worth is probably an order of magnitude smaller than you think. If you worked an average software dev job in the US for 15 you almost certainly have more money than me. Also, as a 40 years old renting a 2 bedroom with my family, I am still motivated by money.

> list yourself as looking for work, take the interviews

I've been doing this for months. My tally is something like this: about half of the recruiters ghost me, I got one rejection and two downlevels. I can count with one hand the number of companies that I've talked to that can match or beat my current comp. For reference, I receive one contact or more a day from recruiters on average.
Of course not everyone gets the vote. Not everyone gets the worker protections or can be women with equal rights, as you put it.

The issue here is not if we should provide these things but actually to provide them to as many people as possible. Sadly, people think we can just agree to do it or something and it magically happens.

My take is move slowly. Anyone who doesn't food and housing, try to make that happen for them as best we can. That's different than just decreeing from on high that ALL PEOPLE SHALL HAVE HOUSING!!
In this case they are actually losing money not gaining by allowing this kind of abuse, both because the bandwidth usage costs money and also because of potential lost billing from other services which now is not billed.

The Lightsail style billing model works same way shared vs leased lines works, if everyone fully used their max allocation it won't be possible to offer service at that price point. They can offer 2TB or 4TB for price because the usage modelling of target users supported that.

No company wants a customer to bypass their usage and pricing ToS even if they are not actively enforcing it, it is lost revenue and/or bringing in customers who you don't really want.

fwiw, a stolen bike is about 500usd to replace (i have my dad's 1970s Schwinn as a backup for when i am doing maintenance or loaned out my daily rider) vs a stolen car... i know a half-dozen people who've had their kia or hyundai cars stolen in the last 2 years, usually the car is completely totalled, one of those people had their same car stolen 3 separate times before it was finally totalled, and in some cases a friend (doordasher) lost their job and then housing due to not having transportation.

Sufficient capital is the big thing that turns everything else into a technical detail.

I mean UL certification is only a problem when the venture is under-capitalized.
Another stylistic recommendation I often make is that most people should use more "subject > verb > object" sentences.

College- and graduate-level writing seems to gravitate towards long introductory phrases at the beginning of sentences (e.g., "With that in mind, this approach proves..." or "Considering the implications of that decision, we decided to skip..."). Cut them or move them to the end of the sentence. They just get in the way.
OK, I admit my experience on french trains is pretty dated. But I was thinking more of the TGVs, etc, and the ICE in DE. It's not just the metros. If it were, Singapore or a Chinese city would probably top the list.
> misinformation about Apple’s trade-in policy

I'm sure the policy is reasonable but if employees have overriding power over policy then it doesn't matter how good the policy is and saying it's misinformation implies I lie

No comment:)

By the way, I did look it up after my failed attempt and on Reddit people in the US have different luck with in store and mail in. Apparently in store is stricter and people get turned away. So looks like misinformation was on your part.

Yes except for the thank you part. Mail-in offers around 300 USD or so voucher so I may try that and can always just sell it myself. (Second market is probably what trade-in was intended to reduce...)

carbon tet used daily for cleaning things was probably a significant cause of morbidity and mortality, for the reasons explained in the article, though its acute toxicity is quite low

carbon tet being thrown on a fire never was. if your house is on fire and you start breathing the combustion products, you are having a bad problem and will not go to the park today. you are about to die. you are still about to die even if you do not throw carbon tet on the fire

in fact, the ammonia gas from modern monoammonium phosphate fire extinguishers (once the powder gets on an actual fire and starts actually extinguishing things) will kill you quicker than carbon tet vapor

> Absolutely everyone (including the AAA studios) uses Dear ImGui for tools these days.

I've been working in (mostly AAA) game engines and tools since the mid-2000s, largely in custom engines and i never encountered Dear Imgui, so i disagree with the "absolutely everyone". Pretty much every engine i've worked with (and didn't make myself) uses something like wxWidgets, Qt, MFC or some custom toolkit for the tools and custom stuff for in-game debugging (usually a console for keyboard use and some "page/screen" based reporting/lists/menus that are easy to navigate with a gamepad).

I do know that some game engines use it, but it isn't as universal as you think.
