I haven't used a board that's not the default row staggered type, but from what I've heard when a keyboard is different shape, switching is actually easy. Like you probably have no problem using a touchpad and a mouse, but when using somebody's setup, the sensitivity is different or natural scrolling is enabled/disabled and it's just frustrating
My issue with AMD is the difference between potential and having all the elements to realize that potential. It's on thing to have a great CPU (or GPU) design, but a company has to have all the platform around it working well and ideally at launch, plus developer support so end users can see the maximum benefit out of their purchase. One of the things I've noticed about the Ryzens is that it seems wise to wait a few months for a few AGESA updates to filter through, and another aspect is clamping down on motherboard manufacturers doing their own shenanigans when they want to boost benchmarks versus their competition
Agreed here, and how can you thoroughly investigate without engineering involved? Unless you suspect your own team somehow it doesn't make sense.
I think a wise secularist may see greater good in less gambling. Not every secularist is a libertarian in their tradeoffs of "what is good" for people. There is usually some reason vices are squashed that is not religious in nature; take the China society's approach to various vices for example.

You can do a lot of things by dragging folders onto file inputs, but it is somewhat rubbish for user experience with the friction of getting files in and out of your app. Obviously it depends on what you want to do, but it seems a limiting factor. Allowing HTML application permanent permissions to file system without user input makes apps a lot more useful and portable.

Recently. I wanted to organize around a thousand short videos. I looked into software and the solutions were really integrated, media library etc. MacOS has tagging in the filesystem, but that ties me to an operating system, and didn't give me the explore related function. I wanted something that could let me browser a folder with added metadata, explore related clips etc.

After looking at all the options I could find, I realized it was easier to just build myself a little Node.JS app using sqlite for metadata, it worked great. I plugged in local ollama and whisper for transcriptions and automatic tagging, which worked suprisingly well. It's annoying needing to run a server for such a simple app, packaging it is just so heavy ... and I thought, it's really not that far off being something I could do in a single HTML file, it was pretty much just the filesystem access - then my app/content is just a folder that does what I want to on any platform without installations or configuration.

Thanks for linking the Joe Armstrong lecture, I've watched half and its wonderful.
"Just write your own if you aren't happy" doesn't make my critique invalid.

My problem is that this community, and thus the ecosystem, is repeating many mistakes, reinventing wheels, employing known bad software-engineering practices, or lacking any software-engineering practices at all. It is, in short, not learning from decades of work.

It's not standing on shoulders of giants, it's cludging together wobbly ladders to race to the top. Even if "getting to the top first" is the primary goal, it's not the fastest way. But certainly not the most durable way.

(To be clear: I have seen the JS (node) community doing the exact same, racing fast towards cliffs and walls, realizing this, throwing it all out, racing to another cliff and so on. And I see many areas in the Python community doing this too. Problems have been solved! For decades! Learn from these instead of repeating the entire train of failures to maybe finally solve the problems in your niche/language/platform/ecosystem)
Its not about principles in some abstract sense though, its terms if use. Package authors need to know what the rules of the road are when dedicating time to publishing to npm, and package users need to know how much they can rely on the packages they depend on still being there tomorrow.

It'd be one thing if npm added audit warnings along the lines of "3 dependencies are likely spam." It'd be a totally different story for npm to remove them automatically based on a toolset used, in the GP example.
Agree!
Not only in companies, but I have never seen anyone download a package, without looking at Github stars

That's a good point, and I'd add that, in the opposite direction, running a simulation can be a good way to convince yourself that your analytical solution is correct.
Well they say it doesn't rely on pigments, so I'm inclined to think it uses some sort of nano-structures, like "improved" vantablack.

It depends a lot on your personality, values and the specific ways in which your environment is dysfunctional. I don't think there is a one-size-fits-all framework.

Things I have done:

Create a bingo card with meaningless management speak, share it with like minded co-workers. Sit in meeting, ticking off terms as the manager speaks them. Then suddenly one of the cohorts yells "bingo!". Completely wrecks the manager's train of thought.

In the UK, and I suspect elsewhere, pub glasses are manufactured to indicate their age as they're meant to be replaced regularly. Often in pubs you can see they've far outlived their proper life, if you know what to look for, and are covered in etches from repeated washes. Clearly glasses last a long time, I don't think smashing is the kind of issue they're making it out to be.

These hardened glasses are sharper when they smash. They tend to smash after a few drops, but more drops than normal glasses.

They solve a historical problem from East Germany: lack of resources to make glass, which is no longer a problem. Normal glasses are recyclable. EDIT: No apparently they are not, so maybe that's useful?

Very well said on gear-trap. Last night I was watching an old video[1] of the kind of gear Ólafur Arnalds uses.

I was amazed and aghast at the amount of expensive "outboard" gear and other vintage hardware such as "compressors", "filter banks", "levelling amplifiers", Korg PS-3100, a vintage analog synthesizer which costs more than 20,000 (!) euros,tape recorders, etc.

Many of these things I didn't even know existed. But I'm just a newbie to learning music.

It's a privileged position to be in, to just acquire whatever vintage hardware, instead of resorting to emulated software to create the sounds.

At least, he (and others like Nils Frahm) can justify it, as a highly successful professional musicians. But many hobbyist musicians seem to fall into the trap of, "if only I get that Roland Juno-60, I'll make more awesome music".

Who says there is one? It takes basically zero effort to publish these packages, so why not do it? Script kiddie stuff. Lots of people run dumb unsuccessful hustles. The long term plan seems to be macaroni. That is: throw enough macaroni at a wall and hopefully some of it will stick. Or maybe not. Who cares? Wasn't my macaroni and I won't have to clean the wall.
I have a few glasses with handles from the fifties (or as far back as the twenties, there's no stamp on them) that are quite brittle and will for sure break at the bottom if you pour hot water in them.

Glad you asked! I just checked and tried, no/not yet.

It's at 1:2 or 2:1 or whatever makes sense, my firmware shows memclk/2 - haven't had my caffeine yet.

The memory can train/the system POSTs, but the OS fails to load. With some more fiddling this may be feasible - I'm not sure. Excited to try!

Additionally: the IF frequency is 2100Mhz, trying to go much higher doesn't work out. If I could get 2200 it'd factor nicely into the memory frequency too, but alas - chip isn't up to it.
Yup, partial indexes have been a part of PG for decades, and partitioned tables (on tenant) will have different indexes per client automatically.

It wasn't an idea that could be sold until cars had the hardware for remote control; which only came into being with the "self driving" hype storm.

When you say "remote control", though; the issues of trust come up in people mind. Those issues should exists when its onboard software you're trusting, too; but humans don't see it that way as easily.

How can you trust that your car isn't being driven by some methed up teenager playing 14 games of "carmageddon" at once for a "click farm" type arrangement?

May I suggest to also run memtest if you're gonna tune these kind of things. Your computer may appear to work normally after changing the settings, but memtest can reveal unnoticeable memory errors.

Doing music with hardware outside of the computer is way different than making music on the computer. I probably tried for 10 years to get into music making via the computer, but never really got into the flow of it. A week after purchasing my first hardware some years ago (the first Novation Circuit), I had already starting putting together full tracks and it was a lot more engaging.

So even if you try out LMMS/FL Studio/Ableton/making-music-on-a-computer and don't like it, doesn't mean you don't like making music at all, maybe it's just the wrong workflow for you.

> for AMD since they do not have to supply as much voltage to their chips

... unless you're using EXPO/XMP. I would really recommend people who run automatically overclocked memory taking a closer look at how much voltage the motherboard is pushing into your CPU, especially into the SoC. Some motherboards just push the voltages to the absolute permitted maximum; ASUS is particularly bad at this. I run lower RAM frequencies than my system is capable of because I haven't seen much performance improvement above 5600 "MHz", and it can be made to run at almost stock voltages.

It definitely causes faster silicon degradation; the question is how fast it will kill the processor. Both Intel and AMD have shown us that it can happen very quickly, not in the course of several decades as we've assumed for the longest time.

No, you want to utilize the extra memory bandwidth of the EPYC server CPUs. Use all 12 channels!

The desktop CPUs only have two memory channels so you don't get a performance benefit by using four memory modules.

In some sense yes, you learn a lot about energy management and you are acutely aware that you have no engine. On the other hand you always have no engine, so you learn to fly and manage your situation accordingly. At the more expensive end of the spectrum, some racing gliders have "get me home" mini props.

When you train, you initially fly in the vicinity of your home airfield and the risk is pretty low unless you do something stupid. For cross country, you train to do field landings and those are common enough in competition season. Basically you learn how to land out in situations where you can't sustain flight. You also tend to not fly over places that would make it difficult (eg built up areas or controlled airspace). Landing is always a decision made with plenty of time to spare, flown as a normal traffic pattern and usually starting the final glide with a lot of height. Competition pilots get more... close to the wire, but single seat gliders just want to stay airborne.

I don't know the accident rate proportionally, but glider related fatalities are extremely rare. In GA if you truly lose your engine, you have fewer options and you have to think a lot faster. While gliding you do also fly with a parachute, though there is scepticism about how effective it would be for a low altitude ditch.

Lots of pilots don't bother with cross country and just mess around their local airspace - still great fun.
> Secret warrants only in the context of counterintelligence and counterespionage investigations that target foreigners

That sounds like a limited context - but the courts were happy to give spy agencies a warrant covering records of every phone call made in America [1]

So it turns out the warrants don't have to describe the place or person to be searched, and don't have to be limited to foreigners. And that wasn't a one-off error or individual mistaken judge - it was reauthorized 34 times under 14 different judges.

Granted some of the rules were changed after that specific surveillance was revealed - but the "fixes" ignored the fundamental problem that secret courts aren't effective at preventing spy agency overreach.
