She was kind, generous and from my limited understanding incredibly influential to modern technology concepts. I was able to spend some time with her in Ann Arbor (2000's) and was included in her Successful Transgender People (as a musician). We talked over lunch, and I was struck by how expansive her knowledge and persona was. She and her husband Charlie, loved the outdoors, hiking and motocross. A giant not only for her scientific contributions, but for the resources and advocacy you did for the transgender community. She had to live 'stealth' for many years until an article was about to come out in the early 2000's where she then had to slowly come out to friends and colleauges. That is when she started her website (still hosted by Univ. of Michigan - lynnconway.com) which contains tons of history on her work and valuable resources for trans folk.

Quick test this am - looks like a small bug with the M.N. Counter for arithmetic in lives mode is getting to numbers that arent possible based on the combos available. First one works, second gets into 20s. I thought it might have just been a presentation issue but when i subtract the new MN from the previous one and input that it gives me a lost life!
An IPO is a cashout. It's almost always certain that there are many key players in the company who had stake that no longer do. This is not a "fuck MBAs" thing. It is much harder to keep a business aligned with its initial purpose (and even customer interests) when it is public.
That's like saying inventing TeX was mundane and beneath Donald Knuth, or that Dennis Ritchie shouldn't have spent so much time typing his thesis. The one thing all the greats have in common is a fanatical obsession with the presentation of their ideas. If you think it's beneath you, then that's because you haven't considered how important it is.
Ah, I get it now, thanks!

It's marketing. For someone like me with little familiarity of the mini computer and microcontroller world, I know about raspberry pi and arduino. I know there are many others out there with likely better value and quality, but the perception of accessibility to a newbie drops off of a cliff.
Why would he assume that?

I assume that their mission being "accessibility of computing to all", and the org communicating so much on their mission focus, they would be in favor of cheap clones.

I asked in the Fedora forums, and I got not any help at all, just blaming me that I was giving them useless information (I did what I could, as I don't know which command to run to give the information).

They never got that far to diagnostic my issue, I did myself, and eventually decided that I don't want to deal which such a community every time I got a problem. I would rather see the Microsoft ads after each update. (Main reason to change)

I might sound quite snarky when talking about linux, but I keep reading all folks saying is ready, no problems, and they get very hostile when you tell them that not it isn't. I wish it was, I love KDE, I wish I could run KDE on top of windows.

but it isn't ready, and with any problem that happens you are on your own.

The last thing I would need to test is to pay for a supported linux, and lets them deal with all the issues I got. But I also have the feeling that it will be as useless as any support from any other company that I had contacted. (Fine for simple stuff, useless for more complex issues).

By the way, if you have any ideas where to look for my sound issues, I will take notes on my Joplin for the future. :)

This is one of the reasons I love Go, it can not only build to a single statically linked library, but you can embed files your app needs like html templates into that same binary. Deployment is copying that binary to where it needs to go.
Modern corporations will always incentivize managers to prioritize short term goals because that is reflected in quarterly growth charts, which is all that companies motivated by profits care about.

I think they were trying to stop resellers price gouging during the chip shortage crisis. On ebay you could buy Pis for well over what they were available for on first-party sites (just like PlayStation 5s!).

As a counterpoint, they let me buy Pis as an individual, but I had to send in a picture of myself with a dated piece of paper like a Reddit AMA to prove I was legit.

FWIW there are Pi alternatives without the branding, but usually for the super low price point mini-PCs you are after you need to go to China to firms like Beelink...

Avocado trees are formidable plants. As tall as an Oak. They grow fast like Magnolias. I wish grocery stores in the US were forced to publish the amount of produce the thrash every month. It would be a good contrast to show how many $2.50 a piece avocados are sold versus and how many are thrashed.
I was looking at car camping. And i found out that I can get power pack for cooking/boiling water, that is very multipurpose for other things just camping. Def not usable for hiking, but car can take it, solar panel can charge it. No need to fumble with gas stoves.
>Or users could simply get confused about what to do with those files and contact support a million times just to ask why these files exist, whether they need to be copied as well, why they are getting large, etc.

This reminds me of a college roommate who was dissatisfied with his computer, likely due to malware from sketchy sites. He decided to delete large or suspicious files from window’s system32 folder. By suspicious I mean he didn’t like the file name.

He had to get a new computer later in the semester.

C++ stings less as an API used in the low level machinery under the hood as long as you as an application author don't have to write code in it.

I haven't done an in depth look but most matrix math accelerators (eg AMD, Intel and Apple) seem to provide C/C++/Python APIs for describing the computations but the code executing on the NPU is not compiled from user C++ code.

Apparently eg in Intel's stuff there's a custom run-time compiler consuming this kind of IR (intermediate representation) in the accelerator sw stack: https://docs.openvino.ai/2022.3/openvino_ir.html & https://github.com/intel/linux-npu-driver

And on AMD from user POV it doesn't seem too different: https://ryzenai.docs.amd.com/en/latest/devflow.html

You can’t always get human contact underwater. If you can’t come up to periscope depth, comms are extremely limited. Even when you can, the response is likely to be “fix it yourself.”

It was a strange and isolating feeling the first time something broke underway, and I realized there wasn’t someone to ask how to fix it. It’s also a great builder of grit and determination, or of hopelessness. People tend to go one way or the other.

Being awakened with a flooding alarm when drills were not scheduled, for example – I realized afterwards (as did everyone else, I assume) that if faced with an actual emergency, I could keep my cool and work the problem. [0] It’s a good feeling, especially when you know you can trust the other 100+ people around you to do the same. Incidentally, it was not technically flooding (unplanned water ingestion at a rate greater than the capacity of dewatering systems), but sure as hell looked scary when they demonstrated the flow rate seen later.

[0]: I personally think this is why Navy Nukes (especially submariners) make great SREs. The fact that a Nuke helped build Google’s SRE program probably helps.

Chromebooks are not GNU/Linux, rather a browser running on top of a POSIX kernel that happens to be Linux kernel, and could be Zirkon or a BSD tomorrow if Google felt so inclined, with the ability to run GNU/Linux workloads inside of a VM.

It is as desktop as running a Linux distribution inside Virtual Box.
Decades ago I troubleshot a Solaris server that wouldn’t boot, and discovered the kernel file was missing. I suspect someone had tried to deal with a too-small root partition by removing large files.
This is a problem that's common to all "no code" solutions. The heavy lifting involved in implementing complex logic flows isn't typing code into an IDE, it's knowing how to model the problem and design an effective algorithm to solve it.

These solutions are targeted at non-technical users with the promise of not having to write code, but those users often get lost or produce erroneous results because they still don't understand the more complicated parts of engineering their solution.

Every time I see an attempt to scale up complex business processes with "no code" tools, it inevitably winds up hitting a wall after a lot of churn, then ultimately having to be handed off to actual engineers anyway, who are in turn hamstrung by the lack of any of the affordances applicable to actually writing code in a real programming language. It's almost impossible to work off a shared repo, have proper version control, do code review, automate testing, or do any kind of CI/CD when you are stuck working with visual flow builder tools.
The barrier to entry for programming couldn’t really be much lower. Pretty much everyone with a computer can write and run JavaScript in their browser, and there are even web based environments and editors like GitHub code spaces.

Google docs has a pretty neat JavaScript api that can be used from inside the apps themselves too.

openSUSE Leap 15.6 Released
> What are my strong opinions that raise eyebrows please?

>> Regardless of where you stand on Covid some countries have handled it extremely poorly in terms of civil liberties with Australia near the top of the list.

There are some people with first hand experience of Australia's handling of COVID that do feel it was the worst boot on neck draconian facist hellscape on the planet, yes.

There's a significantly larger majority that also have first hand experience that do not feel that to be the case in the slightest.

Myself and everybody I know locally spent most of the pandemic within Australia ( I left for an overseas trip and returned ); with the exception of overseas travel, I wore a mask maybe twice and never once experienced a lockdown or curfew. Of the people I know that did experience a lockdown | curfew following the few reports of infection not one of them complained about that being a problem as they understood the base issue. On my return from overseas I self isolated for 14 days which I have no issue with, it was an entirely sensible precaution.

The decision to carry out these procedures were largely bottom up from the people and local state government rather than top down from the Federal government, indeed the Federal Government here was at odds with the state governments and the general wishes of most people.

Well, still, MVNOs aren’t for everyone. That statement in particular might have been a broad one by me.

One Postpaid carrier strength is family plans. The per-person cost for 4 people is very comparable to MVNOs and you get better service.

The next is phone financing and subsidies. If you’re the type of person who wants a new phone every 3 years, a postpaid carrier will have some of the more low-friction options for that.

Finally, MVNOs simply don’t offer high usage plans for heavy users. For example, my current postpaid plan gives me something like 50-80GB of monthly tethering allowance before throttling. There isn’t really an MVNO offering that at any price.

So, I think postpaid plans fit a higher income heavy user and/or a family pretty well.
I tend to have large stress in startups, more than in established companies. I won't get into some of the occasional toxic-element sources that can happen anywhere, but some reasons that happen more in startups:

1. Caring about the mission -- the real-world positive impact -- and potentially able to make or break that. Not just taking a shot at making money, for some opportunity cost that I could evaluate quantitatively on a napkin, and walk away from as soon as an option with a higher expected dollars number came along.

2. Livelihoods and investments of time&effort by colleagues hinge to a large degree on decisions I make, ideas I have, and things I have to pull off, and not wanting to let them down. (A bit similar with money investors, but I care more about personal connections, and involvements where it's not just someone buying lots of lottery tickets.)

3. Low "paychecks" for my HCOLA, at that startup and earlier, so personally needing a big win financial exit, and the startup is what I decided to invest my time&energy into. If that fails, it's starting over, and a lot of wading through various startup ickiness to get another good opportunity (or doing FAANG interview BS, and then their promotion-chasing BS).
1. Interview questions where it's clear the interviewer wants a specific answer even if it's not the only correct answer. Especially true if that interviewer would be your boss.

2. I once had a technical interview where I was given a Jupyter notebook that set up a problem and then asked me several questions about it. The interviewer was on the other side of the desk watching me on a separate monitor. The interview itself was 1 hour long but he wouldn't stop talking for more than a minute or so. I didn't have time to read and understand the problem, nevermind design and execute a solution. Instead, he kept asking me questions, breaking my concentration... just a total nightmare.

3. Keeping me locked in a room all day. I've interviewed at several places over the years where I'd go, sit in a meeting room, and have a day's worth of interviews. Sure, I got a brief tour of the office, but even my lunch I'd eat in that meeting room. If I can't talk with employees in their natural habitat then how am I supposed to get a real feel for the office culture?

4. Interviewers who don't seem to know why they're interviewing you. I've had this happen many times. They don't know what the position is for, they never work with the person in that position, why bother?

5. Your potential boss can't give you a reasonable description of the work you'll do. Huge red flag.

6. Too many detailed questions about work I do at my current job that I obviously cannot get in to. If they can't respect my inability to tell them company secrets then there's a problem.
edit: the following comment might just be misreading a weird graph that show the costs of one thing alongside the savings of another.

Seems odd that their results suggest that continuing to run existing nuclear plants saves so much less compared with building new nuclear on a massive scale from 2002.

Are the old nuclear plants really expensive to run or are these hypothetical new nuclear plants really cheap to build and run?

Does this imply that closing the existing plants and replacing them with new builds would have saved them even more money?

This guy lives in his van and he does what you describe: he has a big battery (lithium ion IIRC) that powers an induction hot plate for cooking/boiling water. (He also has a propane camping stove.)

https://www.youtube.com/@forestyforest

He's found that solar is not useful where he lives (Canada) so he replaced the alternator in his van with one that generates more power, and uses that to keep his big battery charged.
When you mention lithium people put up all sorts of objections about "scarcity". Whereas sodium is an extremely abundant component of seawater. (You do have to find something to do with the spare chlorine ion, though)
