  • I highly doubt this is a causal relationship like that.

    Instead, I suspect that the kind of people who are open to trying mushrooms are the same kind of people who are more likely to prioritize work-life balance. And my guess is that the common characteristic between these two groups has something to do with self awareness.

  • OSX is, though only loosely.

    MacOS is definitely Unix. Same syscalls, same command line, same permissions and virtual filesystem concepts. Pipes, text files, all that jazz. It uses zsh for scripting, PAM for authentication, CUPS for printing, OpenSSH for remote access, Unix sockets and virtual interfaces for networking.

    Hell, a good chunk of macOS is straight up FreeBSD.

  • OpenCL is dead. Vulkan is the future.

    We still need core libraries to be written as Vulkan compute shaders, similar to cuFFT and cuDNN.

    There is VkFFT, but I don't know how good it is. I don't think anyone has written a VkDNN library.

    NVIDIA has signaled that they will fully support Vulkan.

  • This summer, at Electrify America in Erie PA, I recently paid $0.35 / kWh. And at Electrify Canada in Hamilton ON, I paid $0.57 CAD / min, which is $0.23 CAD / kWh at 150 kW.

    This is roughly on par with the cost of gasoline, per mile. I assume the margins are pretty thick for Electrify, because household electricity costs less than a third of that.

    For example, say it costs $0.35 / kWh. At 3.5 miles / kWh, that's $0.10 / mile.

    For comparison, say gas costs $3.50 / gallon. At 30 miles / gallon, that's $0.12 / mile.

  • A good ASCII table makes it easy to find the effects of the Shift and Ctrl keys. Like, at a glance, I should be able to answer questions like "which control character corresponds to ^V?"

    On a Unix terminal, the Shift key zeros out bit 6 and the Ctrl key zeros out both bits 6 and 7. (And the Alt key sets bit 8.)

    In man ascii on Linux, it's trivial to see that ^V is SYN.

  • Guaranteed not to die?

    It's certainly uncomfortable, but a million bucks for a weekend of laying in a box is a pretty good deal.

    I'd be more worried about the dehydration and bodily functions than about being underground, assuming I am guaranteed to live.
