I currently have the 11th gen DIY edition. I'm running linux on it and I'm loving it.

When do you plan on making the 12th gen intel main boards + top cover available for purchase?

Will the main board upgrade bring the 11th gen machine to the same exact spec? Or does the new 12th gen have other improvements?

And Bay Ridge is supposed to be one of the quieter neighborhoods.

How far do we take this? Should we stop forcing people to get the MMR vaccine? Polio vaccine? Hep A?

Have you tried other desktop environments on linux?

Does python really force this? I can see this being the with java -- a language often used in intro to CS courses.

There's a well known paradox in nuclear strategy where counter-force targeting is actually more "humane", but it requires the nation to keep more nukes in service.

On the other hand, a small stockpile will deter your enemy only if you are willing to use your stockpile on your enemy's population centers.

I'm in the same boat. Unfortunately, I have run into odd compatibility issues when trying to compile and run a handful of Rust projects that are generally meant for x86 platforms. That issue and macOS prevents me from adopting the m1 as my daily driver.

When it's time for me to upgrade I'll go with one of the framework machines. [0] It's fully customizable, with room for future upgrades. I've been looking into a Dell machine for a while, but they just seem to have too many issues.

For what it's worth, I'm currently using an m1 macbook, and the battery life is absolutely incredible.

“There’s no need to shirk from the essence of this law. It is one of the tools to ensure a Jewish majority in Israel, which is the nation-state of the Jewish people. Our goal is for there to be a Jewish majority,” Lapid tweeted shortly before the law lapsed in early July. [0]

Regarding the Israel lobby, it is strong, but it's losing its grip:

The outcome

The actual rationale was outright given by the politicians who enacted this law:

it allows Israel's favored demographic to maintain a majority.

It's in the article.

You're not wrong.

https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/israeli-right-wing-party...

The politicians who enacted this law outright said that it's to preserve Israel's favored demographic majority.

Did the U.S. prevent Iraqis from marrying Americans in 2003? What about Afghans in 2001?

So, 21% of Israel's population has restrictions on who they could marry all so that they can maintain a majority of the favored demographic.

This is apartheid.

This was one of my first questions in my OS class in college. The answer was that the kernel implementation takes advantage of the cache.

Is there any realistic simulation or artwork projecting what it will look like?

> without a commensurate investment of time on their part

Doesn't grinding LeetCode apply here as well?

> The “do smol thing together so we can talk about it” interview penalizes people with performance anxiety.

Does this apply to the Leetcode style interviews?

> a collaborative opportunity to see how the interviewee thinks.

In principle, this sounds great. In reality, if the interviewee fails to come up with the correct/optimal solution for the duration of the interview, they are going to be rejected.

> OSS projects with hundreds of stars on GitHub

I'm in the same boat, yet most companies don't seem to care about OSS contributions, despite their rhetoric.

They want us to solve a few leetcode medium/hard questions within the span of an interview.

The experience helped me realize that a non-trivial amount of work done in these labs is worthless and probably even harmful. They don't seem to care as much about the science as they care about publications (on the part of the PI) and being published (the PhD students).

Moreover, the lab pushed me out and decided to use my work anyway. Specifically, they requested that anybody that used the software I wrote give them authorship on their papers.

I'm happily employed as a software engineer now.

I saw this firsthand as an undergrad research assistant in a neuroscience lab. How did it go when I brought it up? Swept under the rug and published in a high-impact journal.

That's interesting. Why do you think that?
