I see it as the opposite: this may be how a technical network is supposed to work, but it's not how a society is supposed to work. The internet has created the ability for any given subculture to discover instant validation and reinfor

You're missing the 5000 series Ryzens, which they just updated this for. The difference is key.

5600x is in the same price range and a no-brainer, once stock stabilizes. There's no sense in intel right now when doing a new build.

I think you're exactly right. These cores are designed to be sold en masse to the cloud providers, who are looking for density in the rack, lowest total cost of operation (up front cost is nearly irrelevant), and above all power and th

Yep. General point: systems scale, people don't. Or rather, human systems are flimsy.

A company is an interconnected system. Culture begets revenue model, revenue model begets culture. You can't have a revenue model that works without a culture that executes it, nor vice versa.

Appreciation of systems. Continuous improvement, and respect for people. They are closer to this reality than most societies. It shows. Yet, they are not without problems, which are inextricably linked to the same culture. There are still t

I would bet it’s tied to the neglect of work in both real wages and respect for workers. We no longer take pride in work. We pay people less and make them compete for the mere privilege of holding a job. Then, we tell them what to do, disre

Same! I have legitimate joint pain in my index and middle fingers because of this thing. Have to use an external keyboard now for anything but a few minutes. It's so bad!

Not to mention the finger joint pain. Yes, really. This thing is a joke.

This is such a real thing that happens, yep. It's really hard to get people together to make good software. I think that's something everyone can agree on.

There is a balance. If aesthetics are a limiting factor, as determined by research, then they’re worth improving.

A lot of that isn’t the redesign itself, but the fact that almost no one designs for the change event itself. It’s a whole different problem to solve, and it’s usually just dropping you into something totally different without context. Coul

I think you’ve identified one of the root causes here. :)

I do, too. It’s a growing field, and it’s much more muddy than dev. Give us time.

I'll concede "most people are of average idiocy" and cite core principles of statistics and the meanings of average and most. But yes, you're right, happens all the time. Less so with most of the large scale more popular

Good designers will improve visual systems, usability, task efficiency, consistency, symbolism, brand perception, and more concrete things with a redesign. If they don't, they're artists, not UX designers. FWIW, most redesigns I s

As I remember it, the book SICP itself wasn't really the core of CS61A... the lectures and slides were, and they drew off the concepts in SICP. No one read the book, but we learned from the (fairly good) lectures and explanations of th

Yep, there are big steps up at around $300 and $1000 before that. Tons of opportunity to get great sound without losing your mind or your savings :-P

Around $5,000. Lots of really good low-hanging-fruit actual improvements and solid equipment in that price range (combined, for the whole system); above that you're just getting crazy, and likely seeing marginal gains you can't ac

More and more I think it's because it's difficult for companies to identify the capacity to be successful at this type of work early on. Partly because it's actually difficult, and partly because companies are really bad at i

Musk's "new, innovative approaches to manufacturing" are the status-quo from around 40 years ago. Maybe he doesn't know that... And are they really "trying something no one else has bothered to try before"? Alt

I do think he'll learn, and I trust that he's a pretty decent person all things considered. Hope it goes well for them!

by calinet6 8y ago
Yes, you're correct. And in fact I had a bet with a friend ten years ago that Tesla would in fact still be around today. He didn't think they would. I just won that bet in January. :) The shame is that the parts that are innovativ

Not so worried about when, there's no rush. It's just a shame to see the chaos where there doesn't have to be, that's all.
