So for all we know, 1% or less actually support it. Nebulous statements like "drivers support..." don't actually specific a proportion.
> What near peer is going to blockade the Eastern Indian Ocean?

This isn't how one plans for geopolitical risks. Each of the world's limited global and multi-regional blue-water navies (U.S., Russia, China, the U.K. and France) have the unilateral power to shut down India's economy. That's real leverage.

> Outside of a couple of relatively minor naval and listening posts, the PLAN doesn't have a significant footprint in the Eastern Indian Ocean

Agree. But it's clearly developing its capabilities. Not a coincidence that a ring of naval bases are cropping up around India.

I disagree.

Especially in SWE interviews

Interviewing, and engineering, in this case coding, are two different skills. There are people that are good at only one.

It's wise if this person to seek advice on something they feel less confident and experienced at. This trait will swerve them well in their life.
It's not that difficult to build the scanner into the firebase dashboard. Ask the developer to provide their website address, do a basic scanning to find the common vulnerability cases, and warn them.
I used to think this line of thinking was a bit elitist¹, but I find that I also get a bit depressed by people who simply don't look up at birds. It could just be a lack of eyesight, but I find even with people great eyesight, just wont look up, and I perceive it as a general lack of any curiosity about the world around them.

1: and it is elitist to a degree, if you believe these people will never develop the interest. I live in the knowledge that they will, and that we're all late bloomers in some certain respect.
It escalates tensions for no readily identifiable reason. Like we’re not looking to pick a fight with China or Russia right now, and saying “hey y’all we captured a Chinese drone” sounds like a great way to push public opinion over a precipice and create a crisis that serves the interests of quite literally no one.

Where do you stand on "guarantee" vs "warranty"?

That's not to mention common phrases with a built-in redundancy such as "Cease and desist"? "Face mask"? "Free gift"?

Idiomatic English has lots of redundancies of one kind or another.
yes, unironically
Lots of people say faxing over VoIP just won't work, but at least for faxes with only a few pages and having a decent internet connection I've had excellent results.

I had a project using hylafax with about a dozen USB fax modems hooked up to a SIP gateway, connecting through a VPN back to the office where the PBX was and then out to our SIP trunk provider on G.711. It sent a lot of 2-10 page faxes. The system sent over a million faxes over its life, and excluding one receiver that tended to constantly have problems no matter what had an >95% success rate.
Using DWARF is annoying with perf because the kernel doesn't support stack unwinding with DWARF, and never will. The kernel has to be the one which unwinds the user space stacks, because it is the one managing the perf counters and handling the interrupts.

Since it can't unwind the user space stacks, the kernel has to copy the entire stack (8192 bytes by default) into the output file (perf.data) and then the perf user space program will unwind it later. It does this for each sample, which is usually hundreds of times per second, per CPU. Though it depends how you configured the collection.

That does have a significant overhead: first, runtime overhead: copying 8k bytes, hundreds of times per second, and writing it to disk, all don't come for free. You spend quite a bit of CPU time doing the memcpy operation which consumes memory bandwidth too. You also frequently need to increase the size of the perf memory buffer to accommodate all this data while it waits for user space to write it to disk. Second, disk space overhead, since the 8k stack bytes per sample are far larger than the stack trace would be. And third, it does require that you install debuginfo packages to get the DWARF info, which is usually a pain to do on production machines, and they consume a lot of disk space on their own.

Many of these overheads aren't too bad in simple cases (lower sample rates, fewer CPUs, or targeting a single task). But with larger machines with hundreds of CPUs, full system collections, and higher frequencies, the overhead can increase exponentially.

I'm not certain I know what you mean by the "slow unwinding path for perf", as there is no faster path for user space when frame pointers are disabled (except Intel LBR as outlined in the blog).

I think it doesn’t need a ton of water in general, if you do it right. At least, IIRC, Intel’s big cutting edge fab in Arizona has been justified by pointing out that the water is mostly reusable.
I have to respond here with "WTF are you talking about". You are engaging in the https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naturalistic_fallacy without use of your critical thinking facilities. Any water source that has rotting plant material, or is exposed to the feces of animals puts you at high risk of serious illness. Some water sources will have natural bacterial contamination and/or mineral contamination (think arsenic).

Absolutely huge portions of the human population died to water quality issues before the 20th century.
Speaking of Leetcode... is anyone selling a service to boost Leetcode scores using AI yet? It seems like that's fairly low hanging fruit at this point.
The thing that is somewhat counterintuitive is that countries with amazing cycling infrastructure are also very good for drivers because you just get less congestion on the roads. There are some great youtube videos about it - how driving across Amsterdam takes less time than covering 3 miles in LA, that kind of thing.

Like, if you like driving cars, a place like the Netherlands is great for it because you spend more time actually driving and not standing in traffic(because most people are out on bikes and not in cars).
Linux and *bsd run crippled on M series chips as Apple doesn't provide the hardware specifications or device APIs for system programmers for utilising the GPU etc on its SoC. Linux developers are forced to reverse engineer everything for the Apple Silicon because Apple is hostile to system developers. This in in sharp contrast to Intel or AMD processors where these OSes can fully utilise the chip hardware to deliver maximal performance, because Intel and AMD are more open with their hardware literature.
Nice; that's something I didn't even think of.
If you dislike writing code were you pushed into this field by family, education or because of money?

Because not liking code and being a dev is absolutely bizarre to me.

One of the most amazing things about being able to "develop" in my view is exactly in those rare moments where you just code away, time flies, you fix things, iterate, organise your project completely in the zone - just like when i design, paint or play music, do sports uninterrupted, it's that flow state.

In principle i like the social aspects but often they are the shitty part because of business politics, hierarchy games or bureaucracy.

What part of the job do you like then?
Please name a competitor with better laptop hardware (I assume your workplace provided you with a laptop).
Things such as better screen, lower fan noise/computing power ratio, speaker quality, touchpad and battery life.
Perot supposedly drew equal numbers of voters from both sides, and I can see how that would be the case. If you wanted an “outsider”, Clinton was the governor of a small southern state who openly flouted political norms and was affectionately nicknamed “Bubba”. (In reality he was groomed for the ruling elite from his youth, but at the time people still fell for the Bubba act, just like they did less than 20 years previously for “Jimmy” Carter). The country wasn’t as polarized back then, or at least was polarized differently. Perot carved out his own lane in a lot of ways, but for every conservative Republican who was upset at Bush, there was probably a unionized auto worker and lifelong Democrat who was upset at Clinton for selling out on NAFTA.
Moreso that you should be mad at Uber for not following the law, not the state for trying to enforce its laws.
You may find that "budget" and "acceptable for PDFs" don't often ride the same train.

Most small e-readers are _much_ slower to render PDFs at all, to start with. On a small e-ink screen, you'll find the speed of the page refresh gets annoying as you try to pan around the document. Larger-format readers (10"+) tend to be on-par with tablets in terms of price, and offer fewer features beyond better battery life.

That said, for regular reading, I'm fond enough of the Kobo Clara 2E that I bought one for everyone in the household last year. If you're handy (hacky?), you can use them without creating an account with Kobo. And you can put any non-DRM book you like on it just by connecting it to a computer and dragging and dropping it over. (No need to mess with Calibre.)

My own personal experience with reading and eyestrain suggest that the media itself may not be your issue. If it was a contrast or brightness issue, there tools built into the iPad to fit the display to your comfort level. Consider a visit to an optometrist. My wife is far-sighted and has no problems reading computer screens and anything else a couple feet away, but got terrible eyestrain while reading books until she got glasses.
> Any font takes a lot of practice to read

Yes, people aren't born knowing how to read.

> you define "readable" as readable immediately by anyone who is already familiar with modern fonts

This is the only reasonable definition of "readable".
> So there could never be a new provider or a new protocol because AI wouldn't be able to use them or create them

On what do you base this? Is there some upper bound to the potential in AI reasoning that bounds it skill to creating anything more complex? I think it is on the contrary - it is humans who are bound by our biological and evolutionary hard limits, the machine is not.

Perhaps supporting people's mental health ought not to be tied to having such a job. This issue exists as well for the unemployed and folks in sectors with a minimum of human contact, and we could probably do a lot of good for society in general if this was handled outside of that context.

Also, "Companies can do X and employees can decide if that works for them" is the basis of right-to-work, which is demonstrably Bad by just about any measure. I agree with the sentiment in principle, but it usually ends with some format of usury.
I think this is the sanest comment I've seen about LLMs.
"many" is a nebulous statements. "Many" could be less than 1% of drivers. If you want to make the claim the this is supported by a large, or even significant, segment of drivers you need to make a proportional claim.
That's a problem I desperately hope the US has to encounter soon. Too much demand and we have to accelerate our plans to satisfy all those people on bikes!
Even as a driver, if you think about the second-order effects of getting more (other) people out of their cars, it becomes obvious that it would improve traffic for you. An enlightened self-interested driver would want to increase investment in alternatives to driving, since that is the only proven solution for congestion.

As a video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8RRE2rDw4k
The 6.2 GHz is just the boost frequency, the base frequency is still well below 4 GHz, at 3.2 GHz. So, your CPU can essentially go into berserk mode for a few seconds and double its frequency, but cannot maintain this frequency. This is similar to a marathon runner who can sprint intermittently.
> I have noticed a drastic increase in mental health and substance abuse issues among coworkers.

This anecdata is not realized in the actual data. So we can disregard this.

> An office job provided structure and meaningful daily contact

Of all the types of contact I had when I was in an office "meaningful" would not describe it. I have meaningful contact being able to go to my gym at a time that allows me to cook and relax afterwards. I have meaningful contact at the coffee shop I'll occasionally work from. I have meaningful contact going for a walk in the park over lunch. My health has improved because I'm not forced to go to company mandated fun-lunches or skip the gym because someone dropped by my cube and told me I'm working late. I'm healthier because I'm not driven to near suicide by the 2-3 hours I lose every day commuting. Let's not even talk about the risk adjusted lifespan I have driving every day to work and back vs. working at home.

This concept of "company culture" being an employee benefit is the pinnacle of narcissism. Everything I do and say is recorded at work. Coworkers will almost certainly rat me out to HR if I'm too honest and dont toe the line. If anything, the office is arguably the least "safe" space I have in my life and under RTO I'm forced under contract to spend 8 hours there. No thanks.

> Saying that return to office mandates are bad for all companies is just plain dumb.

Spoken like a non-developer. My job as a staff engineer does not require me to be physically present. Grow up. This is a power grab by people who want to gaslight employees under threat of their job. Same with "cameras always on" policies and all the other bullshit. A bunch of tin-pots with a modicum of manufactured power using it to make others miserable. Nothing new under the sun.

I live in an hot spot of tick borne Lyme disease (had Lyme once so far) so I would have to take these constantly as I'm constantly outside and I'm not hiking or in the woods. Ticks are everywhere here and with the lack of snow this winter they were active during the winter too.

All of these benchmarks are not useful unless they’re maxing out memory speeds. If you’re buying the top of the line cpu, you’re also buying the fastest ram.

7950x3d is limited to ddr5 6000 while 14900 can do ddr5 8000.

The benchmarks you shared are using ddr5 6000. So by upgrading the ram, the 14900 should come out on top. The memory controller is a key part of the cpu. It makes sense to test them with the best components they are able to use. I know it probably doesn’t matter, but if you’re chasing those last 5% of performance fast ram is a better value than custom water cooling.

The experience you describe is the fault of websites which chose to make things that way. The article goes into more detail on this point: There Is No Cookie Banner Law.

It's important to note that we didn't have to go through the banners after the law, either. We only had to go through them after website operators intentionally picked the most disruptive and annoying popup to serve us. We can blame them. They chose to add it when they could have legally not added anything at all.

It's like the situation described here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=39742766
You're doing yourself a disservice by making your "Class/Subclass/Sub-Subclass" outcome being a fading disappearing text gif.

It takes ~30 seconds for your animation to loop, of which ~8 seconds of it lets you see the outcome.

Once you've started to see/parse the outcome, then your (my) instinct is to go back to the initial (small, tough to read) "Support Ticket" text and see if it matches, then I'm back in the "Spend 22 more seconds to get 8 seconds of validation" loop. Times 4. Because you have 4 of these examples listed.

On that topic, I ride a regular bicycle but I love that there are so many e-bikes on the roads these days. The city where I live is blessed with pretty good weather for a lot of the year and e-bikes enable people who live out towards the edge of town to get downtown with relative ease.

Even though they lack some of the benefits of a simple bicycle, they drive the same infrastructure development that I need.

It seems to me that what we want is something like this but spread through the deer and mouse populations instead. Because in the case of lyme spreading ticks, their (complicated) lifecycle involves both of those populations. Deer carry huge populations of ticks.

If drops of food laced with this kind of thing were given to deer, I'd expect it to drop the tick populations significantly. Without risk of human side effects.

That and we need to cull deer populations and encourage predators of mice generally.

> I think the performance problems of Visual Studio are more in regard to architecture and legacy than the platform it runs on, though running it modern .NET probably could achieve various performance improvements

I dont know how true this is -- but I can be wrong.

I mean, you run Visual C++ 6.0 on todays machines. It is incredibly fast at loading and the debugger is instant when you step in/over.

Sure, Visual C++ 6.0 is not doing various things that Visual Studio 2022 is. It isn't doing API calls onload and other things. However, you debug a program. The different is obvious.

I am not going to say/write that "it is because it moved away from C++ to .NET" but these slowdowns appear to start happening around the timeframe. At least, from my experience.

Maybe the truth is the architechture and/or legacy codebase. Also, it might be a huge undertaking to experiment on Rust. However, if any Company has the money and resources to do it.. it will be Microsoft.

Personally I am "OK" with Visual Studio and performance 80% of the time. However, I am slowly moving away from Visual Studio since .NET Core came out. Yes, I use it for debugging but for coding, stick to me preferred text editor now with omnisharp.

The consolidated FDA, Project Jake and EMA findings (Table 8) showed notable differences between survey populations regarding the percentage of neurological toxicity and serious AE, and fatal effects. Statistical analysis of these serious AE showed highly significant differences between the findings of the Project Jake survey and those reported by the FDA and EMA. While the number of death and seizure AE reported by the EMA was 7 to 10 times higher than those reported to the FDA, the reported responses for the Project Jake survey for death and seizures fell in between those of the FDA and EMA but aligned more closely with the EMA results. Furthermore, the number of reported death and seizure AE for lotilaner and spinosad were considerably higher than suggested with respect to their product labelling for potential neurological effects (Table 2 and and8).8).

But yes, the drug is "generally" safe for use. It's still worth being aware of the potential risks.
