I'm also not sure how much the repairment knowledge will help besides information about general brand quality. By the time some appliance makes the repair rounds it is probably no longer for sale because it has been replaced by a newer model that may be better or worse.

Oh, sure, but that's just how things go. Things change, certain facilities become useless and are either demolished or repurposed. Practically every coastal city in the world has or had some sort of redundant pre-containerisation port facility, say; often it will have been demolished and built on in the 80s or 90s (after containerisation, ports got _way_ smaller).

Putting salespeople in between engineers and clients, and giving them perverse incentives to say "yes" to everything the client asks, and no incentive at all to try to understand what it takes to actually get any of that stuff accomplished. It produces clients that live in fantasyland.

Various hypotheses. Money laundering, VAT scamming, tax abuse, or just outrageous profiteering based on never being around when the bill for VAT or business rates come due.

There is one famous, very real, very popular American candy store in London -- Kingdom Of Sweets -- which is absolutely legit and has been trading for twenty years, having started elsewhere. It was famous in British geek culture for being where you bought all the sweets you heard US geeks talking about on Foothills and Surfers and the like.

And then there's a couple of likely legit competitors, and then... a whole layer of fakery, fraud and shell companies.

As someone with ADD, I wish I could agree. Adding to that, ADD can also be reasonably economically productive if the field of work aligns with the requirements of the condition. IT usually happens to be one of them. Productive squirrel chasing, if you like. Just work on a different issue for a bit, learn something new, etc.

A note from someone making a game on the side (in C, actually!): beware of over-focusing on "patterns" and books about them. Yes, there are some great ideas (such as ECS and so on), but don't get bogged down in that. Solve the problems your game lays out for you first and see what difficulties arise. Don't "worship the gate" so to speak.

I see many game developers who fall into this trap, and then there's the endless debates about "writing your own engine" (which is a bit of a misleading position from the beginning, my personal game has no "engine" that I can see that could clearly be separated from the rest of the game. No this does not mean it is poorly architected).

All of this to say, relax about "patterns" already. Write your damn game, it's waiting for you.

One minor nit: the page is for some unfathomable reason not zoomable on mobile (Chrome on Android), making the schematics hard to read. Extra annoying when you click it and get the SVG source (which means it would zoom perfectly).
IIRC the bit-banged RP2040 DVI implementation plays fast and loose with the spec in places, so it might not qualify for HDMI certification anyway even if they were willing to pay. It's generally close enough to work but there's compatibility issues with some monitors.
yeah but on the other hand a perfectly fine ipad mini from 2012 is basically unusable since 2017 or so because you cannot use most apps anymore since you cannot update the OS anymore and old versions of apps are depreciated.

IMHO Intel's case is more nuanced, they were milking their position until Apple did something extraordinary with TSMC. They are also a giant corporation who has to re-organise and restructure, therefore can't move as fast as a newcomer. Intel's case is a business case, more than an engineering case. Just as Nokia.
> Have there? But not you I take it?

I have a variety of customers running a variety of different x86_64 gear. From an up-time perspective, there has been low correlation between price and reliability. If we're talking non-x86_64 systems--like zSeries or industrial control systems--then the price and the reliability are correlated, but that is not an x86_64 market, and probably never will be.

> Bryan worked at joyant and ran a public cloud on dell and supermicro gear. And it seems they had plenty of problems.

Never called it perfect. I wrote "worse is better"--the "best" losing out to the "good enough". The supermicros I mentioned were "good enough". Of course Cantrill et. al. had problems with them, since they were running Solaris/Indiana on x86_64 gear, expecting Sun-tier SLAs. They'd need Sun-tier hardware to accomplish that, but the Sun that made that kind of gear is dead, just like Joyent. They are both dead for a reason: worse is better. Google also used bare-bones discount servers in their early days (not wasting money on brands, SLAs, and fancy cases[0]).

> Additional evidence comes from the cloud providers themselves. Why did all of them develop their own stuff if operations with that stuff is so problem free?

Let's say there are three tiers of users 1) small-fries who spin up a few AWS images, 2) businesses who've grown to the point where public cloud is no longer economical, but not invested enough in computing to justify developing their own hardware, and 3) FAANG, who have so much money and so much need that it would be absolutely stupid for them not to develop their own hardware. At FAANG-scale it's no longer just about cost or quality; it's about being in control of your own business. #2 would seem to be 0xide's target market, but as someone who inhabits that space, I am unimpressed.

Watermarking is not at all like a digital signature and a lot like steganography. I only have a surface level understanding of the process, but it works by biasing token selection to encode information into the resulting text in a way that's resistant to later modifications and rephrasing.

I have my doubts about the effectiveness of this method and realistically, it won't make any difference because the bad actors will just use an LLM that doesn't snitch on them, so you're technically correct.

> If your parents have never set foot in an university and worked manual labor all their live, you are less likely to even consider higher education

Maybe. But one thing I've noticed is that, in Europe at least, there's a huge difference people who value learning and working and those who don't: degree or not. There are people who've been doing manual labor their entire lives who value learning, knowledge and working.

One parent of mine got a university degree, the other didn't. I'm entirely self-taught (in more than one domain) but the thing is: my parents valued learning. My mom would, after work, create "learning games" for us, for example.

A friend of mine is a lawyer: his parents and grandparents were farmers/paesants but they valued working. He is proud of being the son and grandson of "paysants" ("peasants"). My wife's grandparent was an intellectual working... In a coal mine (after WWII he had no choice: he ended in a country where he didn't speak the language and the only job he was offered was in a coal mine).

Heck, my grandfather was a lawyer but he quit lawyering to... Build chalets in the countryside. With his own hands. He was doing manual labor but he was an intellectual and very well educated.

I've got lots of respect for farmers / blue collar working people. But I cannot stand the entitled, 90 IQ, people holding a bullshit degree (not all degrees are bullshit) and doing bullshit work and asking for 28 hours workweek while I've got doctors friends whom, after 10 years+ of studies, are working their arses off (for a great salary, granted).

My point being: there's higher education (like becoming a doctor or the engineer working on the machines that doctors do use to cure cancers) and "higher" education, as TFA shows.

People don't like IQ as a measurement but I know the IQ of those who make these machines and those who create medicine. And I know smart plumbers, electricians, farmers, ...

I've got friends (well, family really) who are both doctors and they don't get to see their kids as much as they would like to: but they explained me that they prefer their kid growing up seeing as role models people who save other people's lives and who work hard to do that.

They consider their job useful. Just as they consider a plumber's job useful (I had to dig once for five hours in human manure to locate a clogged pipe on a sunday to save the plumber some time on monday morning... Though job they do these guys: yup, it's virtually always men doing that).

But bring me someone with a 90 IQ holding a "gender studies" "higher education" degree and I'll want to slap him/her/zhe in the face with a cluestick for they produce jack shit of value to society.
I have some good news - you suggest that the Party will step in if there is gouging or an independent direction being taken - that is to the advantage of China's competition.

One of the reasons groups like the USSR or Serious Communist China ended with everyone starving is that there is literally no known method to determine the correct price without mass signalling through a free market. Ditto what direction "should" be taken - the only known method is 10s of companies (ideally with funding weighted by what clever investors think is likely to work) where 9s of them fail and a selection succeed.

China isn't getting where they are because the party is helping. If anything it is the opposite, the party must have some capitalist incubators where they are holding themselves back from interfering all that much, otherwise the whole thing will collapse at some point because some bureaucrat refuses to believe prices were set too low until the shortages starve millions to death.

"Substantially" is doing a lot of work there, and "last updated in 2019" means half a decade out of date. It's a fun modeling exercise: how much do you need to reduce durability in order to make people spend 40%+ more on replacements (in constant dollars, I suppose)? I'm pretty sure that the members of the Association for Home Appliance Manufacturers have created that model, but they're not going to share it with the public. If the answer is a few percent, disregarding the last five years, they're not strictly lying. Just not telling you the whole truth.

I have a love/hate relationship with "hack days". Back when I was an intern I had a lot of fun during hack days. Getting to see a new part of the codebase and getting to interact with new teams is always fun.

When I was working full time, my idea of "hack days" changed quite a bit. I took it as time to work on the weird idea in the back of my mind. My demo's were not impressive by any means but I learnt quite a bit out of it. I also think its part of the team dynamics, some teams embrace hack days while others do not. Think if the tech lead of a team actively encourages hack days the vibes would be completely different say compared to just doing your day job and planned activities.
How we optimise React component reuse at the ABC
Linux has socket options which let socket owners query and set TCP Keepalive parameters. See `TCP_KEEPCNT` and friends: https://www.man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/tcp.7.html

The usual term for the table is NAT table or connection tracking table.

The usual timeout is as long as a piece of string.

I've seen timeouts as short as a few seconds. These are sometimes configured in environments where applications are expected to pause for longer than a few seconds, so the software reports a timeout on many actions.

I've also seen timeouts hours long. These are sometimes configured in environments where tuples are reused rapidly so the NAT device drops new connections which land on the same tuple because those connections are "old".

Networking is great.

The OP has a useful framing of status being attributed in verticals but we'll still (illogically) struggle with this logic. Inwardly we'll compare the status of a doctor, lawyer, or software engineer vs. our profession like a game of Top Trumps.

Status games are fundamental evolutionary behaviours however much we want to believe otherwise.

Here are a couple of relevant pull quotes from https://www.robkhenderson.com/p/what-is-social-status:

"Research indicates that our brains spend about 50% of the time mind wandering. Researchers find that the areas of the brain that are active during mind wandering overlap with the areas of the brain that concentrate on our social lives and ourselves. Left to your own devices, with no task demanding your immediate concentration, you tend to spend a good deal of time thinking about other people—your judgments of them; their evaluations of you."

"So what did status get our human ancestors? Resources, allies, territory, mates, and, most importantly, offspring. The idea is that humans who cared a lot about status were more likely to win romantic partners and thus had children who also cared a lot about status. It’s possible that there were early humans who didn’t care much about status or reproduction. They might’ve only cared about safety, survival, and didn’t concentrate on attracting mates or having children. They didn’t reproduce. Those early humans are not our ancestors."

OK, so, this might be the kind of thing you'd say, but that is also entirely plausible.
Depends on the degree, mostly. Necessary disclaimer that everything I'm about to say is about statistical averages, which of course doesn't apply to you, dear reader - you are hypercompetence incarnate and I know the world heavily undervalues you. :)

The average bachelor's degree holder in the United States has an IQ of about 115, or about an 1100/1600 on the SATs. Some of the majors you probably intuit to be rigorous (mathematics, engineering, CS, and quite often philosophy) really do also tend to have higher average IQs for successful graduates - I usually hear 125 to 130 floated for these ones. There also exist majors with lower average IQs, like [REDACTED] and [REDACTED].

Competition for the top schools tends to push the average IQ there much higher no matter which nation one looks at - my alma mater's average SAT scores would suggest an average IQ of 130 or so across the board. But, for most people going to most schools, that won't make that much of a difference, and unsurprisingly a lot of really smart people decide the extra thousand hours to crank out 200 extra points on the SAT just isn't worth it. That's why surprisingly often you'll meet e.g. an engineering graduate from Podunk Polytechnic who's smarter than half the people you meet at the University of Ivory Towers.

College degrees act as a valuable signaling mechanism of both one's intelligence and ability to work consistently in a modern environment. One relevant term to Google is "sheepskin effect". If your IQ is anywhere in the triple digits, it is almost certainly possible for you to get an associate's degree, and it's probably possible for you to get a bachelor's as well.

If your IQ is in the double digits, it's probably not the best move, just from an effort to reward standpoint. Luckily the trades pay quite well and provide an alternative track that's both in demand and more accommodating of people who have less raw brainpower to throw around, but who are otherwise quite good and decent people.

And of course, I've known e.g. a few electrical engineers who became licensed electricians after their degree just because they liked working with their hands, and they almost always seem to clean up very well.

Practically anyone interested in this topic would do well to read https://www.amazon.com/Case-against-Education-System-Waste/d..., both if they love college and if they hate it.

ianal but I believe so, it's the jury's duty under the law to decide based on the law and the facts presented at trial, anything else is a violation of that duty. Jury nullification works because there's no way to prove the why for a juror's decision. Arguably jury nullification is a feature of the right to trial by a jury of peers.
