I have an Intel Mac with 16GiB of RAM.
It's starting to feel it's age; there's always the browser, which reported itself as using over 13GiB on it's own at times, the system using 9GiB of swap.
Zoom, lang-servers, docker containers, compilers.

It's quite alot I guess, so that's good, but the swapping in particular causes the cpu to struggle a bit. Company's in cost-cutting mode, so I think I probably won't get an upgrade in the forseeable future; envious of those with an M-series, and really want 32GiB+ RAM

What? NYC, San Francisco, Chicago, Boston, and hundreds of other US cities have combined sewer systems where there is no distinction between sanitary and storm flows. A very significant fraction of the country’s population lives in such cities. Their downsides are well understood but the cost of retrofitting is so prohibitive as to be impossible.

This seems like a nuanced and reasonable take, but a rather generous interpretation of the GP comment. I think it’s reasonable for the parent comment to push back against a definitive statement laying an accusation with no evidence.
Well, there's a couple different things a degree can be used for.

If you actually use specific things you learned, it's useful in the way that training and certification is useful.

If you don't, it's mostly just an indicator of "this person is at least this smart". Which only really matters to the extent that employers use it to save time on interviews.
A few years ago when this came up, we pulled up the stats for gender parity in all the different STEM fields. Physics, engineering, and CS were the only ones where there was clearly apparent pressure against female participation. Everyone who's ever been to both an academic cryptography conference and an academic CS conference has probably noticed this: there are way more women in cryptography than computer science in general, because cryptography pulls in mathematicians.

People have all sorts of just-so explanations for why this should be; boys are more interested in manipulating physical objects, or more interested in building things. But none of it holds up when you compare across all the fields; moreover, 40 years ago you could be making the same sorts of just-so stories up about law or medicine.

I believe that's why humans reason too. We make snap judgements and then use reason to try to convince others of our beliefs. Can't recall the reference right now but they argued that it's really a tool for social influence. That also explains why people who are good at it find it hard to admit when they are wrong - they're not used to having to do it because they can usually out argue others.

Pardon me, the reference is to the fractional Hall effect.

"But our results may also be of broader interest. We find preliminary evidence that superposition may be linked to adversarial examples and grokking, and might also suggest a theory for the performance of mixture of experts models. More broadly, the toy model we investigate has unexpectedly rich structure, exhibiting phase changes, a geometric structure based on uniform polytopes, "energy level"-like jumps during training, and a phenomenon which is qualitatively similar to the fractional quantum Hall effect in physics, among other striking phenomena. We originally investigated the subject to gain understanding of cleanly-interpretable neurons in larger models, but we've found these toy models to be surprisingly interesting in their own right."

> This sounds like bad advice

Please elaborate.

As they say a typical DNS request comes in as one packet and is replied in one packet, there is no ongoing connection so there's no point keeping tracking information.

The implication of not tracking the connection is that any packets will have to match a more specific rule than the "allow established,related" at the top of the firewall chain.

> they would be better off trying to make DNS a TCP-only service to stop amplification attacks.

Sure, lets get literally everyone on the intenet to agree to a new version of DNS that uses TCP...

Even if you do that - the problem moves from conntrack filling up we can fill up on ephemeral ports stuck in TIME_WAIT because some genius thought a service that doesn't maintain a connection should use TCP
Does anyone really FTP files like its 2003? Even in PHP you deploy with some sort of tool, like docker etc. The reload page thing is pretty much solved in all languages with a watcher. entr is a universal one, thats written in C and fast as anything.

The thing (most) other languages have is unicode support and concurrency. In PHP there is basically none of these.

Fast? You mean fast as in CPU bound tasks? 99.99% of PHP code is slow because of IO, and without any concurrency all the other languages beat PHP easily. If you need CPU bound work, you would not pick PHP (or any other scripting language) anyway.

In most benchmarks PHP (with Laravel/Symfony) is barely doing 500req/sec. Compare this to languages in the same space (like nodejs/python) and they run the same program and can serve 10K-30K req/sec.

Having said that python (a slow langauge) is still capable of doing heavy CPU bound tasks with libraries like numpy. Im not aware if PHP can install C dependencies with composer, like you can with pip.
I remain utterly confused how apple's rule that you can't link to a purchase page, and can't mention the 30% tax in-app, hasn't had its day in court yet.

Like, you can have a free app in the store, with a website where you can purchase premium, and then in the app have an "upgrade" button that just displays the error "You cannot upgrade to premium in the app" and hope users find your website.

You aren't allowed to have "You can upgrade to premium using our site, at https://site.com" message because if you can pay money on site.com, having that error message is seen as evading the app store tax.

In both of those cases though, apple did the same amount of work, so the justification you sometimes hear, that "30% is fair because you're paying for app store resources and apple to advertise your app", seems like it doesn't really apply.

Like, spotify is a perfect example of this. They don't let you upgrade on iOS because paying 30% to apple would mean they'd lose money on every sell (music has very thin margins), and spotify isn't even allowed to display a good error message because linking to their webpage, or mentioning the app store tax, would be against app store ToS.

And then apple music also exists, and ignores the 30% tax. It seems so blindingly obviously harmful to consumers.

This all applies to the google play app store too, but at least on the google play app store, there's no "thought crime" of informing your users they can go punch in a credit card on the web.

It is not clear to me how Chrome having a majority share in the browser market is a monopoly. Is it somehow constraining other browsers to not be developed? On the contrary Google maintains the Chromium project, and funds Mozilla directly. I don't think that's what monopolies do, i.e., monopolies don't actively cultivate competitors.

If people aren't choosing to use Firefox, Brave, Edge, etc. even though many of the competitors get the benefit of free Google engg labor on Chromium and are not connected to the so-called ad machine, maybe they don't want like the alternatives.
Absolutely, a lot of companies include that, but that isn't binding on how individuals evaluate resumes.

However, when I say it's often a hard requirement, I do mean that literally. The "or equivalent experience" bit isn't there a significant percentage of the time for the sorts of jobs I typically apply for (nothing that has actual regulatory reasons to require a license or degree). Then you wind up with the person that was trying to hire you having to petition up to the division executive for an exemption to company policy or something ridiculous like that. If you aren't really really good, that's often a dealbreaker. I suspect I lost out on many opportunities that way because I can only really evaluate the instances where they tell you about the petition and then tell you it went well (if it went poorly, might as well tell you "we decided to go with another candidate" or just not tell you about the policy).

Additionally, sometimes the lack of strict degree requirement doesn't mean a lack of paperwork that could be prohibitive. Or they'll say something like "every three years of professional experience will make up for one year less of education", which besides being a silly ratio, is essentially a prohibition on hiring people without a degree because I'm not about to accept a very underleveled offer due to how they arbitrarily weight years of education vs years of professional experience. I've been desperate before but never that desperate thank goodness.

As far as being a legal standard, I'm not aware of and have probably never lived in an area where an "or equivalent experience" statement was actually required, on account of it being missing for maybe ~50% or so of the jobs I've applied to or been hired for. If companies are being sued and losing over the lack of that statement, absent other evidence of discrimination based on applicant membership in a protected class, that would be news to me.
From the article:

That’s why that’s not the requirement. They expect no contact at 62mph, which is roughly 2.2 seconds for that completely stopped vehicle 200’ ahead. Looking at our handy NHTSA worksheet, we can see they expect 160’ stopping distance from 60mph:

So, yes, if you want to avoid a crash you have an under half a second (40 feet margin at 90 feet/second) to start braking before a collision is guaranteed. That’s legitimately an emergency situation because you really shouldn’t be driving that fast if you can’t see more than 200’ ahead, and if you’re incapacitated or unwise enough to be in that situation hard braking is much better than what would otherwise happen. Calling it sucky is like saying fire sprinklers are sucky because your wet carpet needed cleaning.

In any other situation, it’s not panic braking. Nobody is going to ship something which go straight to 100% braking in normal circumstances where you have a better balance of visibility and speed.

You need to be in a caloric surplus to efficiently build muscle mass regardless of whether or not you're natural. I'm honestly confused how this is even an argument we're having. No one is saying you need to eat in 5000 calorie surplus as a natural, but everyone still refers to the period where you are in a caloric surplus as a bulk and a period where you are in a caloric deficit as a cut. This is not and has never been restricted to people on gear.
