Memory Errors in Consumer Devices
Don't see a snark here -- Java libs are really lightweight, in a matter of kilobytes. Because it's interpreted, you're supposed to have OS-specific JVM installed to run it. Exactly the same as Python.

Compare that to Go, where Hello World weighs 1.8 MB, more than 100x heavier than the lib in question.
Mainly because I get paid to solve business problems with my devices as tools. I don't get paid to futz around with Linux, and my clients don't want to hear about why I can't use their document formats or get audio to work on a conference call.

Any time I spend futzing with my tools or solving incompatibilities amounts to unbillable hours.

I manage a bunch of Linux cloud servers. With no GUI or device driver issues Linux works great. I have used Unix since it came out (yes, that old) so it isn't as if I don't get the command line or can't figure things out. But to make a living I need a car that starts every morning, not a garage project.

I used Windows and Android for years but eventually abandoned those platforms because of malware and cross-vendor issues that I don't get with Apple. And my Apple hardware almost never breaks down -- I had a MacBook Air blow up once because of a bad power outlet in Thailand, but other than that it all just reliably works.
Consumer pays for the streaming service, not a demo of every studio. Why they don't do the first?
Might also consider how many times it is downloaded and never used, because it is a dependency in another project. There are a number of projects using boto just for the S3 compatibility layer too

The piece was well written and explained the functionality quite elegantly with enough technicality without overburdening the reader with technobabble.
It’s insensitive to anyone with a soul.
Do you actually need a disclaimer ?

I always assumed it was the same type of courtesy as IMHO, and someone taking legal advice from random strangers on the internet wouldn't result in any legal liability on the side of the commenters.
Surely adding a Qi charger would be good here. Having cables dangling over the seats would be annoying if all you want to do is charge your phone
It also leaves you in a very suggestive state. I did several sessions with a “rebirther” years ago, basically holotropic breath work. I decided I didn’t really need it, and I went in my last few sessions determined to quit, but at the end of the session, the practitioner always managed to convince me I needed another session. I eventually broke it off with him over the phone.
Are you familiar with the kinds of things Stephen Miller says? You might want to be before defending him

Comparing fairly with Go would mean adding the JRE to the lib, because the lib itself is useless. Go produces executables.
Proton does that thousands of times per year. They're transparent about it.
I was looking back in time over his catalog of 194 produced records https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Albums_produced_by_St...

The entire notion of a carbon market is a farce.
A comparison would be the incentives around tax filing. Everyone has the financial incentive to cheat, but the enforcement is good enough (probability of being caught * punishment) that most people don't. The question is: how good is the enforcement mechanism as applied to sellers of carbon credits, and what is the added cost to the taxpayer of setting up such a system.
Guaranteed they'd cheat that somehow. Have some dev hard code 996 hours with some fluctuation. Betting pool on who spots the first downright lie. Then suddenly system goes down.
This is the answer for a one-off or occasional problem unless your time is worthless.

$200 to rent a machine that can run the naive solution for an entire day is peanuts compared to the dev time for a “better” solution. Running that machine for eight hours would only cost enough to purchase about a half day of junior engineer time.
Ohh right, I meant the latter

The article says they move slow enough to not be dangerous. That could be true even battery powered.
Exactly! The magic to lay waste to invading armies is packaged into a large flask and magical metal birds are flown to above the army. There the flask is released from the birds bellies and gently glides down. When the flask is at optimum height it releases the power of the sun and all that are beneath it get vaporized. A newer version of this magic is attached to a gigantic fireworks rocket that can fly over whole mountain ranges and seas.
I'd say figure out something you actually like doing - and then try to get paid for doing it.

Programming, writing, teaching, whatever... If you're getting paid to do it, then that's 40 hours a week of practice and learning. You'll get even better at it, leading to better jobs and more money. Getting that first job can kick off a whole chain reaction.

Some people say first job out of college is important. It sets the area where you'll make contacts, and lays the groundwork for your next job in one specific direction. But I changed careers later -- that's always an option, too. Maybe the moral to all that is: just try something. Make a wish.

Dream a dream, then make it come true.
That greatly depends on the type of applications you run and the toolkits and font rendering they use. My most commonly used applications (terminal emulator, Emacs) do their font rendering using the the glyph compositing functionality of the RENDER extension. Server side glyphs are created when a font is loaded and all the compositing is done on the server side based on the client's CompositeGlyphs requests. Same for images (in Emacs) using CreatePixmap and CopyArea.
That is true, but the times I have seen such dynamics happen it was usually do to... emotional instability. If every time a subordinate brings you anything other than stellar news you get all emotional, angry and start blaming people guess what:

Nobody is going to give you the truth anymore — as A) it seems you can't handle it anyways and B) there is no incentive for them to give you the truth while there are many incentives to not give you the truth.

This is just bad leadership. The most important thing to make good decisions is correct and meaningful information. If you punish people for telling you things that you don't want to see, you will from now on never have a good picture of what is going on. Good luck making decisions that way.

And this isn't even rocket science, it is basic common sense.

I trust the bureaucrats a hell of a lot more than the hypercapitalists.
The more important point was that medications that do work still come in two forms: ones where we have a good idea of the mechanism of action that makes them work, and ones where we don't.

For example, we have a good idea of why certain antibiotics cure tuberculosis - we understand that tuberculosis is caused by certain bacteria, and we know how antibiotics affect the cellular chemistry of those bacteria to kill them. We also understand the dynamics of this, the fact that the body's immune system still has to be functioning well enough to kill many of the bacteria as well, etc. We don't fully understand all of the side-effects and possible interactions with other diseases or medications in every part of the body, but we understand the gist of it all.

Then there are drugs and diseases where we barely understand any of it. We don't have for example a clear understanding of what depression is, what the biochemistry of it is. We do know several classes of drugs that help with depression in certain individuals, but we know those drugs don't help with other individuals, and we have no way of predicting which is which. We know some of the biochemical effects of these drugs, but since we don't understand the underlying cause of depression, we don't actually know why the drugs help, or what's the difference in individuals where they don't help.

There are also widely used medications where we understand even less. Metamizole, a very widely used painkiller sold as Novalgin or Analgin and other names, discovered in 1922, has no firmly established mechanism of action.

This is roughly correct. In addition to the immediate ground launch crew votes (in reality a squadron is 5 launch centers, i.e. capsules, all interconnected to a total of 50 missiles, and as stated two launch control centers need to successfully “vote”), there is always an airborne launch control center flying over ready to provide a second vote after a specific time-out period. In fact one of our primary nuclear safety and control concerns was to keep refreshing the ALCC access timer.
Not OP but I have the same or similar issue.

Filling your lungs is pretty easy to try and pretty much the first thing that comes to mind and almost always the first suggestion everyone gives.

I've done a lot of lap swimming, sub 30s 50m, can hold breath for ages, swim 50m underwater, comfortable scuba diving etc but that doesn't help.

The issue is not total flotation per se. It is balance. I can't push air down into my legs, so they go down. I have then lost a lot of surface tension with my body area, so I go down.

I end up vertical but with max capacity lungs I can bob near surface. But breathing out to breathe fresh air in makes me go down. Compared to someone floating happily on their back it is not relaxing.

I really wish people would give up on the "eVeRy0ne cAn f1oAt!" idea. With just my body(IE no floating aids/neoprene), nope.

What I do instead, I kick gently. Just enough to keep my feet up. That keeps the rest of me up holding surface tension. I'm pretty sure I could do this for hours if need be but never want to be in a position for survival to know.
It was more about what aspects of the future we are capable of predicting thanks to natural sciences, and what aspects of the future are valuable to predict.

It might just be that predicting the outcome of an interaction of two molecules is itself less valuable than, say (can’t think of anything better, feel free to be more creatively specific here), predicting whether we flourish or suffer. The former is easier, sure, but is that enough to make it valuable? That the latter is more important is an assumption, but I think not an unfounded one.
No idea if its a valid approach but possibly train with a hidden layer containing a “role”?
Search music producer forums and you will the see the same totally opposing viewpoints as for Napoleon Dynamite. They love it or hate it.

Rid of Me is extremely devisive. Excellent record, and extremely influential. Just think of Kathryn Bigelow's Strange Days take on it.

I agree that these archetypes exist generally speaking. And any team will inevitably have a certain degree of waste. But that doesn’t mean that it’s not very important for director level and above management to continually be looking for ways to restructure the system so that skilled and motivated employees can do their magic without BS. When I look back on my career, there were definitely some teams that were much better at this than others and it seemed to be correlated with how much original critical thinking managers were doing, as opposed to just executing industry playbooks by rote. It’s easier to do this on small teams. Harder to do this at scale. But that’s the game to be played even if it’s difficult.
You realise the capitalists write the legislation (via lobbyists) for the bureaucrats?
I had one very recently, obscure bug in some software I use. Google search only had 4 results. One was a partial match, but the result was from last month, and was just an index of bugs and had been updated, the that page didn't have the info, and Google didn't show a view cache option.

So I put it into DDG and found the actual bug report, from the page Google sorta had. And the bug report had a fix in it.
Looking at one random PR there are about 15 jobs running. One of these ran for 40 minutes. Assuming every job starts a new virtual machine that would be 10 hours of CI time. If they use very beefy machines, we can probably somehow justify this cost.
You absolutely can measure that, in the same way that you measure that manufacturers are producing cars that don't emit nitrogen oxides above regulated limits or that manufacturers aren't dumping cadmium into nearby rivers or that worksites aren't making employees work on telephone poles without safety gear: You have an organization that reads all the relevant research, develops tests, runs those tests, and is empowered to Apply Consequences To violators. You don't trust some anonymous "bureaucrats", you trust a dedicated organization of subject matter experts and specialist inspectors that know how things are supposed to work and understand all the dodgy tricks that people are going to pull. This is how we went from The Jungle and Silent Spring and the hole in the ozone layer to where we are today. This approach works.

Was just about to mention this. Also, just to add to this, even though it's a zig talk, it's not really the main focus of the talk. I enjoyed it and I don't even know zig.
True! I realised this a while after I wrote the comment, d'oh!
Yes, and the first sentence of the post should have "a window" rather than "a Windows", because as is it add to the title's confusion between X windows and MS Windows.
I have not had to do that and might not want to. But nothing on a US driver's license is private information anyway. Banks, credit reporting agencies, car dealerships, landlords, police, etc. all have access to your license info and much more. So I wouldn't call it "incredibly invasive."

Easy to blame the hosting company, or the government, but it's the bad actors and fraudsters and scammers who drive these kinds of rules. I'd rather have to show a hosting provider my ID than have all of their IPs blocked out of the blue one day because they rented a VPS to a scammer or botnet, maybe using my name and credit card number to do it.
Me too but it's not really clear during the setup and I didn't want to spoil it too hard. :)
Feels like this is a pointless techy solution to problems already solved by Velcro. I don't have kids, am I wrong?

Nope. Not even close.
If you have any other pearls than "fill your lungs" then let me know. I'll be happy to try next time I'm in the pool.
> you'll wonder if it's the technology doing all the work.

We’re talking about manually propelled bikes here. The bike isn’t doing all the work, but it is pretty essential in reaching the speed and sustaining the pace.

Sure you can argue that if you strap a rocket to your bike then you aren’t doing any work, but that’s not the case in either of these examples, so what’s the purpose of going down that tangent?
>Mind you, most of us had already been working 60-80 hour weeks for the past 6 months

> We don't know what are Netflix discounts

What you do, if you're a VC backed SaaS company with a six or seven figure monthly spend on AWS, is hire away someone from Netflix who does know what their discount is and use that when your next contract negotiation is up with AWS.
I have clothes from 25 years ago, still looking pretty good but I can barely wear them now because they're so utterly out of fashion :D. I am by no means a "fashionable" person, but even I would be a bit hesitant to go out on my early 90's baggy shorts or my black leather jacket that looks straight out of an 80's action movie.

I believe that's why clothes these days barely last a year. People actually don't seem to mind because every year the fashion changes. I really hate that mindset but that seems to be how almost everyone thinks.
Is ANYONE surprised at all?!
Choosing between bottled water or soda/beer is the false dichotomy. Bottled water wasn’t mass produced prior the 90s, but started being heavily promoted since Pepsi and CocaCola would go out of business with people cutting back soda consumption.

I’m amazed how well their marketing worked to convince people that water is literally toxic unless it comes bottled.

I have a funny story: I went to a place here in the country with natural mineral water springs, the absolute purest water dripping straight from the rock - but visitors (US and Europe) not only requested but insisted bottled water during the stay. The funny part is the bottled water comes from the same place.
I don't think it's hate for usage of bottled water outside of home/on trip/in transit. The hate is about people using bottled water in their home en masse even if they have it for "free" in kitchen. Some been not consider drinking water from public services and don't trust and public assurances of its quality.

>I’d love to see anyone in this thread suggest some laptops with similar specs and build quality to the current gen offerings from Apple

Plenty. Framework, Lenovo, Asus in whatever flavor you like. Generally Thinkpad Carbon is comparable to Macbook pro. Modern Linux Distros work quite well out of the box. Manjaro is super popular for gaming as it has the best performance, and you usually don't even have to fuck with graphics drivers as it installs them for you.

The only aspect that Apple is winning at is battery life for equivalent performance level for common tasks. That being said, I personally never found battery life on any device to be an issue unless you are just hyper specific about how you use a laptop when traveling. For my last job, I had to run CAD, so I used an Ideapad Gaming laptop with discrete graphics card, and with a backpack with an integrated power bank. I think I managed to run out of power once, but that was because I spent a 3 hour flight gaming nonstop, and it was on a plane that didn't have charging ports. The rest of the time I was either near a charger or using the power bank.

>Same with iPhones: is there any Android phone that approaches the lifespan of the iPhone?

Within the past 4 years or so, Android has consistently outlived Apple. Coworker still kicking around a Pixel 5, paid a guy to replace the battery and its works for him.

Apple is the one that lost the suit against degrading old phones performance on purpose. People seem to forget that.
Except the model is not open-source. You can't calculate anything.

Sure, and if you want to run fast you can just use rollerblades instead of a bicycle and be be “more agile”. So what? Doesn’t mean bikes aren’t worth anything.
you would imagine some technology would be able to detect this no?
Which specific AlphaX model evolved like that? Most of the ones that were in the press had essentially a single showing, typically very good, but didn't really improve after that.
Of course they did, is anyone even remotely surprised at this?
This is all very interesting. No disrespect to Mullvad but will there be any effort towards attempting to get such functionality standardized? In the past there was a XOR scrambling patch for OpenVPN[1] to attempt to circumvent certain government firewalls and the OpenVPN developers had concerns about unaudited changes to the wire protocol.

> If you work in any company that has "startup culture" forget it.

Depends what "startup culture" is.

I actually did an early startup work marathon over Christmas, to help pull off a minor miracle, and make a very hard launch date successful.

But during the same period, I also managed the tasking/planning to shield a key teammate who'd gotten sick, and take stress off of them.

> Bend all the rules past breaking but tell no one.

I think that depends on the company, and the kind of rule.

In some companies, rules tend to be there for a reason, and if you break a rule, you generally have to disclose that, and maybe discuss it (ideally beforehand).

Some of your question doesn’t make sense to me. It feels like you’re comparing apples to oranges. At work I use MBP for my laptop and Linux on our servers. To me, there’s no contradiction there. I could’ve chose Linux on the laptop if I wanted to, but in my opinion Linux is best for servers and macOS is best for personal computing. To me, that’s the best of two worlds. They serve different purposes.

One question asked if I’ve tried to switch away from Apple. It’s the other way round. I used Linux (and Windows) for years before I switched to Mac. Haven’t looked back.

Others may have different preferences, I don’t mind that.
There is no enforcement mechanism and the whole idea was very very stupid from the beginning.

You can’t offset or capture emissions that way, it just can’t be done - the whole idea is rotten from the core.

Let’s concentrate on what is feasible - producing less emissions in the first place.

Carbon capture etc just gives us the illusion
What’s the use case overlap between symbolic and huge? I might expect that with most huge expressions (they talk about disk space being the limit, not memory) you’d be satisfied with a numerical approximation. Does someone need to simplify a huge expression down to a small symbolic expression?
When I was younger there was a short period I thought it meant that a person was just really anal about details.
