cjmaria··on An app for M1 Macs that plays the sound of a fan as CPU usage goes up
I've been using this one: https://github.com/yujitach/MenuMeters
cjmaria··on NYC Mesh Community Internet
My small upstate NY city has a mesh internet provider https://www.massivemesh.net/ but frankly its one of the worst in town. They don't even list bandwidth speeds on their packages because they are so poor. They might be a better option than DSL, but not cable-based internet. I have team members who live in buildings that contract with this mesh company and they are constantly dropping out of zoom calls for unstable connections. The poorest parts of the city are out of range for their mesh network, but luckily people in these areas can qualify for low-income internet pricing from the cable company.
cjmaria··on Inflammation, but Not Telomere Length, Predicts Ageing at Extreme Old Age
I imagine you did not mean to imply that Baba Ramdev is of extreme old age, it seems he's only 55?
cjmaria··on Hyundai to acquire Boston Dynamics
Seems like this fits in well with Hyundai's autonomous car project Motional, which is also based in Boston.

cjmaria··on The pandemic is forcing America to confront its epidemic low-wage problem
Agreed. Several economists and think tank representatives commented on this, but there was little content about decision makers actually considering the issue. Maybe a poor subtitle choice, but it is an opinion article after all.
cjmaria··on Colleges face student lawsuits seeking refunds after coronavirus closures
This sounds strikingly similar to what's going on at my school, Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. President has a 5mm+ salary and took only a 5% pay cut while laying off (not furloughing!) 60 faculty members.
cjmaria··on First Woman to Beat a Man at World Darts Overwhelmed by Response
It's a historically male-dominated sport, and this win is a marker of a broader social movement around gender and gender equality. I don't view this any differently than recognizing racial breakthroughs in sports. One could question whether "firsts" should be cared about at all in any context, but I think that is a different problem.
cjmaria··on Model Explainability is The Next Data Science Superpower
In a similar vein, it looks like there will be a resurgence of complex systems science and explaining "emergent" properties of complex systems.
cjmaria··on CompCert – A formally verified C compiler
The hard part is the NT-like kernel in Rust, not the web-based UI. ChromeOS uses the linux kernel.
