A 10% performance improvement on Python code is laughable. You can get a 5000% performance improvement if you switch to a better language.

The disagreement here seems to be about what kind of data should be considered ephemeral. Traffic logs from a decade ago? A ten-year-old package lock? I'm sure I don't care anymore. Documents I wrote in the 90s? Yeah, I might still want them. I might not need them everyday, but I can say from experience that I've needed to track down files that are more than a decade old, and I'm glad I was able to find them.
that article is from before the burst in inflation. With the burst in inflation I'd guess the stats are even more in favor that the raise in minimum wages killed even more jobs.

I agree that there are different analysis. But, you can't just go by "my personal experience" as in "Seattle seems fine to me therefore nothing bad happened".

I would just like to say, thank you for doing the work of locating a news post about the situation. That really helps ensure we are talking about the same thing. And it allows us to review the situation ourselves.

Yeah, that's what I figured. Thanks for your comments, I learned something new!
Also, the article mentioned "partial passwords". I take that to mean the BIOS password was two parts, and only one part of the password was exposed.
First of all that's memory, not storage.

And second, it's a graceful decay, you are not completely shut down from storing imporant information for later use. If in that moment something memorable happens, you will remember that.
It's pretty good now. I prefer the 365 web version to the native Mac version. It doesn't support some power features but actually has better hotkey support.
No, if anything vcpkg is "the C++ package manager", but it's nowhere near pervasive and easy-to-use enough to come close to even Pip. It's leagues away from Cargo, Go, and other actually good PL package managers.
> Modern circuit breakers are much fancier. They break... when the currents passing in both directions [is] unequal

What you're describing is properly called GFCI[0] — which in some countries is referred to as an RCD[1] — not just a standard circuit breaker.

You can get devices which fit into a standard circuit breaker slot which perform both functions. However a conventional circuit breaker (which are still widely available) doesn't do any of that.

Something similar was at work in the 2018 natural gas explosions in and around Andover, MA:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Merrimack_Valley_gas_explosion...

"According to the NTSB's preliminary report, customers in the accident area received gas from a low-pressure (0.5 psi) distribution network which, in turn, was fed from a high-pressure (75 psi) main pipeline via regulators controlled by sensors measuring pressure in the low-pressure pipes. At the time of the accident, workers were replacing some of the low-pressure piping, but the procedure set out by Columbia Gas for doing this failed to include transfer of a regulator's pressure sensor from the old, disused piping to the new. As a result, when the old pipe was depressurized, the regulator sensed zero pressure on the low-pressure side and opened completely, feeding the main pipeline's full pressure into the local distribution network."

And then 5 years down the line it has grown into a worse version of the popular alternatives, the original developers are gone and the ones who currently maintain the mess have to pay the price. In corporate or professional contexts, you probably just should pick whatever is popular.

Though that anecdote about risk management should also have this link alongside it: https://www.robinsloan.com/notes/home-cooked-app/

When you’re working on something others won’t have to maintain years down the line, thankfully your hands aren’t tied then and you can have a bit more fun.

For everything else? Svelte, HTMX, jQuery, Vue, React, Angular or whatever else makes sense.

That said, sometimes I wonder what a world would look like, where the browser would have the most popular options pre-packaged in a way where you wouldn’t need to download hundreds of KB in each site you visit, but you’d get the packages with browser updates. It’d probably save petabytes of data.

Except seems like we went in the opposite direction, with even CDNs being less efficient in some ways: https://httptoolkit.com/blog/public-cdn-risks/
We strictly talking documents? It's very unlikely they will suffer from any decay since they are so lightweight. And to the extent that it's important you probably accessed it or shared it sometime in that period.

A video from the 90s that you never read or accessed in that period? Yes, a candidate for deletion, or at least a decay. For example, if it was a video, the transcript might be saved, but the video might be lost. We may also get some written interpretation on the visual elements of the video.

>HFCS consumption is still higher than it was in 1970, but it has declined since 2000, and its decline has driven the overall decline in sugar consumption, yet obesity and diabetes incidence have only increased.

Because metabolic diseases are progressive chronic conditions. That’s why T2D & fatty liver were historically adult diseases, it’s not because throughout history people gradually increased sugar consumption as they got older and got the diseases, rather the metabolic damage progressed. In short when you are over consuming sugar for 20 years and see obesity, T2D and fatty liver disease increase you don’t necessarily expect to see it decrease even if sugar use slightly decreases…if you want to decrease or eliminate T2D/fatty liver disease then eliminate the sugar.

>"Reversed" means you can eat carbohydrates normally again.

That’s not what “reversing diabetes” means, it means getting off insulin because you manage your BG through diet and lifestyle.

>Severely restricting carbohydrate enough to get an artificially low HbA1c or fasting BG and claiming you "reversed" diabetes is like claiming you "reversed" your lactose intolerance by never drinking milk.

It’s just not a good metaphor because your definition of “reverse” is returning to eating carbs normally was wrong. Lactose intolerance is an acute reaction related to inability to produce an enzyme to breakdown and digest lactose - it’s managed not treated with medication, though some may take the enzyme lactase. Further, taking lactase because you’re lactose intolerant and want to eat some ice cream tonight is in no way comparable to having T2D and the need to take insulin.

Hi, 45' boat owner here. Steps are pull the boat out by travel lift and block it. Power wash the bottom. Put up dust barrier. Don tyvek suit and mask. Sand with dust hose. Power wash the bottom. Paint first coat. Dry. Paint Second coat. Dry. Lift boat move blocking pads. Paint pad area. Dry. Paint Second coat. Dry. Launch boat by travel lift. Paint is $320 per gallon I need 2 gallons and a quart. Total time is 2 days if they hustle, 3 if the pull is late in the day. Lucky for me, they have not found blisters or any thing that takes fiberglass work, that adds time.

Last time I had it done it was $6450 including tax. 7 boat bucks.

Most popular modern SoCs are not fully documented - one part that usually lacks any documentation is the GPU. For most ARM-based SoCs, it's either one of ARM's Mali series or an Imagination Technologies product, most RISC-V based SoCs (e.g. the JH7110) also use Imagination Technologies GPUs.

Additional components also have documentation that's hard to find, especially those based on Synopsys' DesignWare IP. These are sometimes at least... strange (or should I say buggy?) effects such as with their "standard" 16550-compatible UART: https://lupyuen.github.io/articles/plic

The Vivante GPU in Freescale's i.MX8 SoCs was reverse engineered and is probably the closest you can find to a somewhat documented GPU (STM32MP SoCs also have a Vivante GPU). In general, the i.MX8 is well documented - one of the reasons why it is used in Purism's Librem 5 phone.

You can "cheat" and improve the GPU situation a bit by using a RISC-V board with a PCIe slot and an old AMD GPU.

When there's no documentation available, all you can do is reverse engineer the functionality of existing open source drivers. Linux drivers are often quite complex, I recommend looking at Net/OpenBSD and Plan9 drivers instead. For some RISC-V SoCs (SiFive Freedom U740 on the Unmatched board and JH7110), Haiku is also worth looking at.

An alternative which provides documented hardware is to use an FPGA-based SoC builder, e.g. LiteX: https://github.com/enjoy-digital/litex

Of course, this results in a significant degradation of performance...

Another option would be to use a regular x86-based PC and rely on the documented interfaces, such as VESA graphics, but then you have to deal with x86 and all the baggage of almost 45 years of PC evolution...

I kind of wonder if there isn't a "reuse" period before recycling that should be encouraged.

Like using EV batteries for household battery backup.

They have enormous capacity, even when their EV range has been diminished.

I also think that car manufacturers get "green PR" from recycling, but they really just want to snap up cheap metals/minerals when making batteries.

But I kind of wonder if they are opportunists and it would not only be better for the environment for people to reuse the batteries, but also the people wanting to reuse would easily outbid for used batteries, given the chance.
No, it's weirder than that. All the samples I pulled up had the same date and time without showing any time zone information: 2024-11-03 01:43:25
I'm sure that's a factor, but probably not for long - Chinese wages are on the rise along with China's economy, still a long way from US wages but they doubled in the past decade according to [0].

But one thing that's hard to deny is that US and European car manufacturers are still building on top of previous iterations of their vehicles, swapping out a ICE with an electric system but keeping the existing systems, frankensteining the two together. The article itself makes note of it:

> More than five separate CAN buses, ten or more kilograms of low voltage wiring, probably over one hundred electronic modules (most with their own CPU and firmware), etc.

I don't know cars, granted, nor legislation, but surely a car engineered from scratch would be much simpler and thus cheaper to build? How does Tesla do this?

Just had a script today that fires in 2 contexts and ran into an error where the element I attach a handler to doesn't exist in one of the contexts which breaks JS on the page. Since I already had jQuery as a dependency in the project, in the moment it felt easier to replace the querySelector call with jQuery, which I did, instead of checking the querySelect result so I second this, the 'fire and forget' part still holds up very well even though the tree traversal pain points have mostly been solved by browsers.
I'm guessing that Zig, Rust, Oden, and "etc." didn't exist when they started the codebase. Now they need to keep moving in their imperfect state. I don't think anyone would start a large company on Ruby today. (They would on Python, though, which is equally unfortunate.)
Pot in a pot also minimizes cleanup, I'm a big fan but few people seem to use that method.

The intention is clearly not to have any double dipping, so the verbiage and presentation of the pricing elements needs to improve... and it will!

Agreed. We have some facility for out of process caching (node local memcached), and I frequently have to argue with colleagues that it's generally preferable to in-process caching.

My point is that the video shouldn't decay, either. It might not be playable in modern media software for a variety of reasons, but that doesn't automatically make it a candidate for deletion.

I design events following these rules:

1. You should be able to recreate the complete business state from the complete event sequence only. No reaching out to other servers/servies/DB’s to get data.

2. The events should be as small as possible. So only carry the minimum data needed to implement rule #1

That’s it. It works really well in practice.
Everything you described reflects my experience with American graduates. I have only worked at "top tier" FAANG-level institutions and attended what is supposed to be a globally competitive so-called "elite" university. Very few students at my university and others I interacted with (who were supposed to be some of the best, given the programs I met them through) and very few employees at these institutions were actually good performers or genuinely knowledgable.

I was most impressed by those from 'second tier' universities and some without degrees at all who were more obsessed with quality and rigor than they were about 'GPA', prestige, or whatever it is. I don't expect this to be different anywhere in the world, due to the nature of selection systems. That is Goodhart's Law after all.

The selection systems employed by these institutions favor those who optimize for select-ability, which distorts things quite a bit. I hold very little value in a PhD from any university at this point. In fact, I'm quite weary of prestigious credentials in general, as they often translate to over-confident idiocy with power in credentialist institutions, rather than self-aware idiocy which can at least self-regulate to some degree. PG put it well when he called them "professional fakers".

That being said, research output in China is quite strong. I have also learned that average people, given enough time, resources, and a little bit of good direction, will be able to accomplish quite a bit. China has made undeniable, unprecedented progress across the board in high-tech sectors. I say this having been part of competitive analysis at two of these top tier American institutions, looking at how China is overtaking our own products.
Yeah it’s just a polite retelling of the crazy Trump nonsense that was laughed out of court by every judge who looked at it and the rest is just misunderstandings from casual election observers who refuse to do one iota of research about how things work.

The accusations are always vague as well since each time you zoom in on one it’s completely anodyne but you need the distance to keep up the specter of something nefarious.

If you're trying to upgrade or rebuild ten year old software, it's very important to know exactly what its dependencies were and where to find them, because there are too many other versions to choose from and most of them won't work. New software only needs a lockfile because it will eventually get old (if useful).
They did this just fine until without such tools for the majority of innovation in the last century.
Sounds like CAC scores are the same thing. I can only link some other doctor's article[1] which says that the CAC does only measures hard plaque, but that a score of 0 has been studied and goes with a very low risk of heart attack (1-2%) over the next ten years. When you say soft plaques are a whole category of risk, that suggests they are not a significant risk factor. So something doesn't add up here.

From what I could gain in the paper you linked in another comment, they write that apoB with less LDL in it goes more easily into the arterial wall, apoB with more LDL in it causes more damage once in the arterial wall, and those two effects cancel out, so overal more LDL is worse.

These things don't add up to a coherent picture. If eating less fat reduced LDL, that should reduces plaque buildup (by your claims and your study's claims) and that should reduces heart disease risk, and that should show up in the CAC scans. And apparently it doesn't. If eating more fat increases LDL and that increases heart disease risk, that should show up in Dr Davis' CAC scans and he should think that worsens heart disease risk, and he doesn't.

> "But this being the case does not serve as evidence that arterial wall injury or an inability to repair damage is required in order for high serum cholesterol to be a risk."

It doesn't, and I don't make that claim. So I have no more comment. Agree that it's multifactorial (or appears that way).

Wait? What? NASTRAN was originally developed by NASA and open sourced over two decades ago. Is this commercial software built on top that is closed source?

I’m astonished ANSYS and NASTRAN are still the only players in town. I remember using NASTRAN 20 years ago for FE of structures while doing aero engineering. And even then NASTRAN was almost 40 years old and ancient.
