Interesting perspective, my own is the opposite..

Discrete GPUs have a thermal advantage, because they don't have to share heat-sinking capacity with the CPU.. My Graphics card certainly spews out _A_LOT_ more heated air than the CPU, and on full load, the entire system is practically a space-heater.. Having more physical room for heat-sinking is an advantage in this scenario.

I see the same advantage with power. A PCIe card can more or less ignore the supply from the socket and decide how many various molex plugs they need. There's already dedicated PCIe plugs, and nothing prevents the addition of more, except physical space on the wide edge of the card, the capacity of PSUs and the physical challenges of transporting 99.manynines of that power away as heat.

>> After the rats were trained to push the level for sugar, Lignier changed the experiment's parameters. Sometimes taking a picture would yield a piece of sugar, and sometimes would not.

And this part is using an extinction schedule. When you provide a reward for a behavior consistently and then take away the reward (extinction), the behavior tends to stop immediately. By randomizing the reward and maybe gradually decreasing the frequency you have a much better chance that the behavior will persist without the reward. Because he did this we can't really be sure the selfies are their own reward, since the rats may have been simply trained to push a button.
> Don't mix eating with philosophy,

I think this is kind of a trap. It assumes that there is a default mode under which we're operating, and that something like IF is straying from a natural order.

But you're already obeying a philosophy of eating. The philosophy that you go out and buy things that will likely induce a lot of craving for more, the cultural norm that you will eat at times that are appropriate for the company you work at, etc.

Essentially you are eating by someone else's philosophy.

I'm afraid that most people would just read the title and start completing the title with whatever ideas they have about why Lisp is not mainstream.

I read the whole article and its a lot of words to simply say: There are a lot of factors at play. It could be a mix of those factors.

Beyond that the article does not seem to give any specific insights. It provides many loose analogies to show how something good might not be not mainstream in other walks of life. But it does not go on to elaborate what it is specifically about Lisp.

So I guess I am trying to say I don't know what to do with this article. The talking points are all common sense. And there's nothing specific about Lisp I can learn from this article.

Spaniards and Italians, not to mention teenagers in Seattle, have no personal connection with Russian crimes and their ignorance is understandable. They have never lived under Russian control and have no real concept of what it means in practical terms. Russians have not extinguished entire branches of their family trees.

But why should any Russian approve Stalin, spew the same toxic imperialistic view of the world in many different forms like supporting the genocidal war against Ukraine remains a mystery. Germans are not holding military parades under swastikas, erecting monuments to their Führer, telling Jews that Germans suffered the most, harassing and shutting down Holocaust researchers and threatening rest of Europe that if they don't do as told, "we'll repeat it".

In the end, by not taking responsibility for your past and present actions like Germans have done, you will simply live shorter and poorer lives than other peoples of Europe, making endless excuses for your own suffering and the suffering inflicted upon others, while leaders are robbing you blind and partying on megayachts. My hope is that this degenerate russki mir will never reach me.
The mistake that you made was making them "co-founder" on paper. They never were true co-founder who would live and breathe this thing with you daily. They told you in the beginning ("employee mindset", "wanted a salary") but you wanted to believe they were something else. I do feel for you though because I know how hard it is to find a true partner/co-founder in business.

"I imagined us conquering the world together."

You imagined. He didn't. Big difference. I know this is really hard for you and depressing at the moment but you need to accept the truth and reality. This guy was never a real co-founder.

It is probably good for you if he wants to quit now and give back most shares. Get a lawyer and draft the agreement properly and get him out. Since he got a salary as well, I would push for him getting 0 shares if you can swing it. Then you have things to think about. I don't know the details of your company enough to say whether you can save it or not but if you truly believe it can work and you have seen signs, then don't quit and find a way to get through this.

I run a bootstrapped SAAS without a co-founder and happy to chat offline if you want to vent/discuss.
Yes, indeed. In as many words.

Two things here that come to mind:

1) The lack of muckraking agents in this whole affair - individuals, investigative bodies, the media, non-governmental agencies, British billionaires who have the wherewithal to finance private investigative operations etc. The sheer magnitude of that shortfall is just worrying. For those that are not fully familiar with the scope of the issues here :

Between 1999 and 2015, an estimated 3500 staff employed by the state-owned
Post Office service were accused of fraud, theft or malicious accounting.

Almost 700 of them were convicted in courts and some 230 were jailed.
Most were legally compelled to repay the amounts they were accused of
fleecing, resulting in bankruptcies, marriage failures, substance abuse and
even suicides.

There was just one not-so-little problem – virtually all of those people
were innocent.[1]

I mean how does something like that go on for so long! Especially when lives have been torn apart! Its one thing for public money to be pilfered & squandered. That happens everywhere. But those people have been wrecked, if that article is to be believed.

2) Whats more concerning is the larger question :

a) if people have been made to put up with these kinds of horrendous miscarriages of justice for
so long, in a postal services affair, what other miscarriages of justice are there that go
unnoticed, uninvestigated and unpunished.
b) is this "part and parcel" of middle income British life? do the Brits put a large amount of
trust in their unimpeachable public institutions? do they pull themselves back, short of calling
into question the integrity of those that are tasked with such jobs? (atleast more so than is
the case in the United States and elsewhere). I ask because I've come across things that seem to
buttress exactly that :

It is also forcing everyone to pay higher taxes for worse
public services: The great British Middle Class live in
a world of petty crime that goes un-investigated let
alone punished, over-crowded emergency health services,
and ever-lengthening NHS waiting lists (Britain has one
of the lowest ratios of doctors and hospital beds per
patient in the whole of the OECD).

I have come across this kind of uniquely British reluctance to call a spade a spade, in quite a few other instances as well. Dr. John Campbell of Youtube fame comes to mind but I digress.[3]

MapReduce came along at a moment in time where going horizontal was -essential-. Storage had kept increasing faster than CPU and memory, and CPUs in the aughts encountered two significant hitches: the 32-bit to 64-bit transition and the multicore transition. As always, software lagged these hardware transitions; you could put 8 or 16GB of RAM in a server, but good luck getting Java to use it. So there was a period of several years where the ceiling on vertical scalability was both quite low and absurdly expensive. Meanwhile, hard drives and the internet got big.

Yes we all know it's possible to lie with statistics. What are your criticisms of this article in particular? If you don't have any then you're just baselessly casting aspersions.
There's no way to fix the problem natively, either. Apple's "solution" to this issue is checking every app personally, which is a fallible and expensive approach. Apple will pretend they're taking the high road, but it doesn't take a genius to surmise they only care about that process because it's expensive.

No matter how you slice it, this is already a problem and literally no one blames Apple for it. It's not Apple's job to blacklist phone numbers that contain scam callers, it's not Apple's job to protect Safari users from content that harms them. The EU is very unlikely to approve any scheme where Apple is still a gatekeeping party.

> People have the right to modify, repair or maintain their property

In all honesty, I think this just isn't true with networked software anymore and I don't think we can solve this properly. It's not a simple lawnmower but exists in a bigger context. As Apple/Google etc. need to spend more work and money afterwards, it's not as simple as "it's muh property" but get's a lot more complex.

> Your argument is neglecting lacking knowledge by 90% of customers and the mass-effect by this group.

That was an argument in 2006, I don't think it is 18 years later. And in all honesty, I don't believe people care. Otherwise they wouldn't buy Alexa or stupid adware in the form of TVs. They know, they just don't care.

I always wonder if he was so different in person than he was on his essays and interviews.

Of course, he was also quick to call a spade a spade, but I haven seeing any case of him denouncing something that wasn't obviously bad.
The way I see it is that we're in an era analogous to what came immediately after alchemy. We're all busy building up phlogiston like theories that will disprove themselves in a decade or two.

But this is better than where we just came from. Not that long ago, you would build software by getting a bunch of wizards together in a basement and hope they produce something that you can sell.

If things feel worse (I hope) that's because the rest of us muggles aren't as good as the wizards that came before us. But at least we're working in a somewhat tractable fashion.

The mathematical frameworks for construction were first laid out ~1500s (iirc). And people had been doing it since time immemorial. The mathematics for computation started about 1920-30s. And there's currently no mathematics for the comprehensibility of blocks of code. [Sure there's cyclomatic complexity and Weyuker's 9 properties, but I've got zero confidence in either of them. For example, neither of them account for variable names, so a program with well named variables is just as 'comprehensible' as a program with names composed of 500MB of random characters. Similarly, some studies indicate that CC has worse predictive power of the presence of defects than lines of code. And from what I've seen in Weyuker, they haven't shown that there's any reason to assume that their output is predictive of anything useful.]
Sadly, still no Framebuffer API for WASI GUI apps (https://github.com/WebAssembly/WASI/issues/174).

Actually, the result of the Google v Oracle case was ultimately that what Google was doing constitutes fair use - and what MinGW is doing is even more clearly in the fair use zone than what Google was doing. So, current IP case-law is firmly on the side of "copying APIs for interoperability is fair use".
It does have some limits, for sure. I havent tried bolding a portion of a url before.

I have enjoyed including inline code using the literal-include directive, which allows you to just include sections of code directly from a file in disk. This is great because you can cover your example code with unit tests while also talking about it in docs without replication. You can even use little border comments to mark snippet sections so that it's not sensitive to specific line numbers.

That post is confusing to me. It says "Young women have become markedly more progressive on gender norms, but young men have not budged." and then shows a diagram that many young women want to have a family and children, with work being optional, which to me completely doesn't sound like "progressive on gender norms".

I turn 50 in a few days myself, and I've been playing D&D (and other similar RPGs) since the Basic Set. I still DM two weekly groups, one high magic, one low magic. D&D has been such a big part of my life that it is hard for me to imagine how my life would have been without it. It's truly been a constant companion.

I've been gaming with my best friend since 1985.

I met my first girlfriend in a game in 1990.

I met the first woman I proposed to (but didn't marry) in a game in 1991.

I became friends with my first business partner largely through gaming together, and playing D&D after hours was part of the culture at our startup.

I once ran a 30 year campaign (1987-2017) which ran for 50,000 years of in-game time and finished with a time loop from the end to the beginning. Yeah, trying to DM with time loops and keeping everything consistent is a nightmare, I'm never doing that again. Nevertheless, it was pretty epic and fun.

I'm pretty sure that I was always going to be an imaginative person, but I'm thankful that D&D gave me the tools to share my imagination with my friends. It helped me to make a good social life for myself and not just be a loner living in my own mind.

So, thank you to D&D! Here's to the next 50!

PDF does not have any capabilities of line breaking. It is a picture format, similar to SVG, only more rigid. That's why it can't have text reflow, etc.

What an ebook format needs is a semantic form of markup, which adapts to devices it is rendered on. HTML + CSS were invented for this goal.

With that, book layout authors should consciously relinquish some control on how the book looks, and hand it to the reader. Slight visual imperfections are a small price to pay for this. Who needs visual perfection should go for a PDF.

This, of course, becomes hard if any interactive stuff is involved. I would suggest that larger interactive elements should open in a dedicated view when needed, and tiny interactive elements should embrace reflow.
