A bit sardonic, but if peak power is the problem, your PSU better be shutting off, since the alternative is that it'll catch fire at some point. (And it normally will shut off, since it has thermal protections. Those are boolean, not somehow lowering output power.)

And again, the ATX PSU doesn't really matter here, the M/B VRM does. Even if the ATX PSU has a failure mode where it delivers 10V instead of 12V — you can still make 1.05V out of 10V. Decoupling is spread all the way too, so short peaks don't explain a lot either.

Lastly, it's of course possible the VRM is misdesigned. But this issue is seen across mainboards from at least 3 vendors… what is the likelihood of all of them getting it wrong in a very similar way? The primary way for that to happen is if they are all implementing Intel's reference design, in which case it's Intel's fault again anyway and we've looped back to the origin of the discussion…
Crystal 1.13.1 Is Released
Many years ago I did freelance sysadmin work for a group that did stage lighting design for some really big names.

At first I was really puzzled how a guy could be running this thing from Lancaster PA and have all these contacts with huge musicians in LA, NYC, etc.

Eventually I realized that he'd been in the industry for decades and got to know a lot of these people over the years organically, from showing up and doing whatever it took to be involved.

All that to say that I have some reason to think the following advice is reasonable:

Get in touch with musicians directly. Find ones you gel with well, bend over backwards to make their shows amazing, and cultivate relationships for the long haul. You won't get rich, famous, or admired by normals, but you may get to be part of creating some beautiful moments for other humans.
I feel the same way. Modern science standardized around English and I don't mind programming standardizing around English also.
What about the pessimization of single-threaded workloads? I'm still not convinced a completely free-threaded Python is better overall than a multi-interpreter, separate-GIL model with explicit instead of implicit parallelism.

Everyone wants parallelism in Python. Removing the GIL isn't the only way to get it.

OK, I checked it out too and I'm a little less impressed. I don't mean to knock the OP too hard, but I feel like I've been seeing the exact same "glitchy morphs in time to the music" for ever, like literally for decades.

Maybe that's just what people want and props to the creator for nailing the genre but I'd be way more interested in something actually unique and generated real time with the music. I feel like visualizers from the 2000s were more impressive - surely with all the progress in CPU/GPU we could be doing some truly epic visualizations these days...
A thought experiment:

A piece of code takes 6h to develop in C++, and 1h to run.

The same algorithm takes 3h to code in Python, but 6h to run.

If I could thread-spam that Python code on my 24 core machine, going Python would make sense. I've certainly been in such situations a few times.

> I'm not sure there is a clear separation between applying heuristics

There is and it's quite simple: if your heuristic reduces the size of your search space faster than it takes to perform the search (ie try solutions) then you have a real algo on your hands. Otherwise you're just searching. This is basically the border between P and NP and it's just that in compilers most of the problems are NP hard so none of the heuristics are really that good.

The Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI DSS) is the main information security standard for organizations that process credit or debit card information must abide by. The guidelines established in PCI DSS cover how to secure data handling processes.

Yeah, that's some nice rhetoric, but...I guarantee that, right now, some part of your personal software stack has a security vulnerability. If you write software for a living, some piece of software you maintain has a critical vulnerability.

Do you want to be held personally responsible when they're breached? If your wireless access point is hacked because you waited too long to update it, and it is used to launch DoS attacks, do you want to be liable? Do you want to be held personally responsible when you click on the just-good-enough phishing attack in your corporate inbox?

If not, then consider why you'd ask the same thing from a corporation of tens of thousands of people.

Most high-quality blogs (in my observation) are/were written by people who grew up when reading an actual newspaper (or two) was an everyday part of life. You didn't have to be a professional journalist to understand how to write a good "article," since you've read thousands of them, and it was natural that is what you'd emulate in your own writing. That's simply not the default model in younger people's heads anymore.
At least in the US, according to [0], around 67% of women with children under 18 who are not employed prefer that. Among women with children, a higher proportion of women who do work would prefer not to than the proportion of women who do not work and would prefer to. It appears that most women with children have the working status that they prefer, but if you had to guess that someone was unhappy about their situation, it would be a working mom. Additionally, most moms do not have a preference to work outside the home.

Keep in mind this is after decades of messaging of the type I'm pointing out and people are exemplifying in this very thread after I pointed it out where women who stay at home are questioned about whether they're "accomplished" and generally looked down upon by the middle/upper middle class.

IMO it adds a bunch of complexity (as these types of catch all frontend solutions usually do) to a problem that can be easily solved by becoming proficient in using Docker/Podman and spending a little bit of time reading the documentation for the services you want to run. Its a cool idea but uncessary IMO. There are also a ton of people that like it and I'm just one opinion.

I reccomend you try it but I also think you'll realize you could host that hobby project with half the hardware requirements and half the effort with something like docker-compose or swarm.

This is great advice! One build on "it's all about direct connections" theme - getting attention when you are starting out is EXPENSIVE. One option you have is start with asking for more time and attention from those people that are already paying you money through Patreon.

Great businesses come to resemble their customers (what they value becomes what your business values), and this only comes from an insanely deep understating of your customers. Talk with your patreons and ask "why" a lot - "why" should be your most used word. This can get a little awkward, so one trick is to set expectations early in the conversation with something like "I'm trying to understand how to make you more successful, so I'm going to ask why a lot because on the other side of that I can help you more."

A fantastic book to read (before you quit your job) is Four Steps to the Epiphany by Steve Blank. Good luck!
I’ve not read this book, so can’t offer a comparison but Thorsten Ball’s two books [1] are great.

The dragon book was my textbook in college, brings back memories, might be outdated but some concepts should still be useful.

Keep trying. Try different methods. What works for me debugging and refactoring distributed systems may not work for you. The thing I tend to drive toward is a single page mind-map-like artifact that is monotonically increasing in density with a focus on system-of-record and data flow. I tend to keep notes about individual tech and important systems in whatever tools are handy, either locally or in a form that are accessible to the team. Often this takes the form of a JIRA page per topic, or an nvAlt note per topic. Tickets aren't great for this because they are ephemeral. These notes are where code snippets, error messages, anything searchable, go. I have something like the Zettlekasten[1] method in the back of my mind when deciding on scope of these support notes. However I may also start from a simple local text file, not committed to the repository, or even attached as a note to a ticket or other ephemeral trigger. But the thing that ties it all together, for me, is that mind map. Once I have that I can truly reason about the system.

Slightly weird take: bidets have this field fully covered and the only thing stopping them from being widely used (especially in this domain!) is user resistance to an unfamiliar solution to a very personal problem.

We don't need new tech for this, we just need a marketing breakthrough.
A friend of mine is a lawyer for DOJ and he indicated to me that lower courts do try to suss out where SCOTUS is going and rule accordingly. I don’t believe this ruling would have been made if recent SCOTUS rulings were different. I have not talked to him about this case and we don’t talk legal stuff much so he may have just been humoring me with my perception that lower courts try to suss out where the winds are blowing.

One can use precedents and case law to pretty much argue anything (within reason) since there are enough contradicting rulings over the last 200 years. In mathematical logic terminology the Constitution and legal precedents together do not form a consistent system. Thus a lot of this stuff comes down to what is in fashion today so to speak.

Judge Napolitano wrote an argument on why secession is a right of each state and wrote an argument for why this wasn’t specifically written in the Constitution. A lot of this stuff is just making shit up or selectively using precedents to justify a desired conclusion. One can do this in an inconsistent system.
Right. Most cancelled projects are beautifully architected and discount tons of installed products with all their decades of cruft.

Then you start trying to bring the New Thing(r) into the Real World(tm) and there are 5000 edge cases the original project dealt with in a 42-page if/else block for 270 different OEM patches that were sold by some JV team in another building who have never written a line of code in their lives.

This is the best way to introduce it. Vercel makes it too complicated in the docs where everything is splitted into app/pages, creating a large ecosystem gap.

It would be super helpful if the interpreter had a type-enforcing mode though. All the various external runtime enforcement packages leave something to be desired.

I'm not going to try and change your mind on Remake. I held similar opinions at one point in time and it took me reframing the game not as an attempt to reintroduce the original game, but rather as another spinoff in its franchise. I began to respect it when I considered it a tale of characters - some of whom are aware of the original story - trying to break from the fate ordained by their authors.
Holy cow, yes.

I just spent an hour yesterday untangling my in-laws shared, paid, Spotify account.

What had transpired is that they needed to confirm FILs physical address. So they sent him a link to an old email address, but no notification in app. He, reasonably didn’t see it within the 1 week deadline. So they removed him from his own shared account. Once he was removed there was no way to confirm his address and self service to get himself back into his own paid service.

To get back on the account I had to find the very hidden “contact a real person” link buried very deep in useless help articles, and gated behind a bot that didn’t even get close to understanding the issue. Then, to verify identity he had us login via the app, not the website, create a playlist, make it private using a secondary menu and message him the name. Only then was he able to be added back onto the shared account. The shared account that he was paying for, mind you.

I have no idea how anyone who hasn’t seen the inside of a tech company is supposed to navigate these systems.

Tech illiteracy will only die out if technology finally plateaus. The elderly were great with the technology that was popular when they were in their forties too, the problem is that technology didn't stand still from there.
It's so easy for people to look at the dollar figure for something they bought in the 80s or 90s and not account for inflation and make a pithy comment, but when you back-calculate the actual price my parents paid for some things, it blows my mind how cheap technology is now.

$5500 for an entry level laptop! You can get an M2 MacBook for $800 today, and I couldn't even begin to describe how much more tech is inside that thing for 20% of the price.
Tech literacy seems to be dropping with newer generations.

How does it show that? It suggests there was 200 million raised for the 2024 election, but that doesn't seem to be in comparison to anything. The US government borrowing alone is multiple trillions per year; people would be expected to spend way more than a few hundred million to influence it.

I'm not asking the same from companies. I don't consider putting liability on a company the same as putting liability on an individual, and neither do our laws. Companies may pay liabilities out of profits, companies may have to sell assets, companies may go out of business and people lose their jobs. None of that is the same as someone being personally liable.

Engineering a Compiler (Cooper and Torczon) seems to be widely recommended. I’ve got the second edition but there’s now a third - not sure how significant the changes are.

AFAIK the problem with the dragon book is the same as with most academic compiler courses. It spends most of its time on the theory-heavy front-end (parsing) and much less on the back-end (code generation). Real-world compilers are very much the opposite.

Architect here. (the building kind.) "Aging in Place" and "Universal Design" are two of the most transformative, difficult, subtle, and important problems facing us today. Other countries are building social structures to address the systemic issues associated with aging.

But because of the nature of our healthcare and bureaucratic systems, we have a unique need for interventions in physical conditions - be it small-scale building modifications or assistive technologies. So, especially if you want to innovate making -stuff- I concur wholeheartedly.

That said - it looks like the comments until now on this are mostly looking at software-based assistive technologies. Which is ALSO a spot-freaking-on approach.
I think so. My only data point though is probably my grandpa. He is nearing 80 and as far as interfacing with consumer tech devices, he is just as proficient as me. The only thing I beat him on is, well, I am a software engineer, so I know how do a little bit more with the guts. I attribute it to, he worked for 'the telephone company' (AT&T) most of his life as a technician and in sales. So he for him, keeping up and learning how to work with new devices is a no brainier for him. My guess is that those of us who are younger, it'll be the same as him.

I think its more about, stuff iterates today to your much more experienced and maybe open to adapting to new iterations faster. Or like my grandfather, he work with lots of new tech continuously over his 30-40 year career. So adapting to new tech is just second nature.
There have been and are attempts at addressing the usability gap of tech by the more tech illiterate over the years. Particularly, Linux projects such as Ordissimo[1], Eldy[2], and Endless OS[3]. I am sure there are plenty of other projects, as well (including Apple's new iPhone Assistive Access mode[4]. As sad as it may be, the market would probably be non-existent in a decade or two as newer generations enter aged care having already been somewhat familiar with computers and phone technology.
