I think many people over-focus on GPU and CPU capabilities and the raw horsepower of console hardware as the basis for determining console hardware superiority. As an avid gamer on PC and console, I've never thought of it that way, a PC will pretty much always be better on horsepower than a console. What consoles excel at is hardware that enhances the user experience or moves forward the technology focused on the act of gaming.

I am incredibly happy that Nintendo said "No." to Microsoft here, because the Nintendo Switch is the single greatest console device ever made. The way it handles docking/undocking, game switching, updates, sleep, the controller design of the removable joycons, it's an unprecedentedly good user experience in a way that's going to be incredibly difficult to top. I have been interminably sad that Sega stopped making consoles because prior to the Switch, the Dreamcast pushed the envelope in every possible way for what it meant to be a gaming console. The Xbox One did something great by improving controller design significantly, but realistically the majority of consoles released in the last few decades have not been pushing the envelope in the way that the format allows.
What do you feel Tokyo’s values would be? Bring Kutaragi back and revisit new/different CPU architectures?
That’s hardly Facebook’s fault. It’s not their responsibility to educate their users on what a public utility is
In some cases, yes. But in other cases they just represent the view of the vocal majority or those in power. Laws are official and objective, morals are relative. It's fine to base decisions on agreed upon laws. Appealing to morality is just using your own opinions
> yet still can't make a profit in a proven market. It's mind boggling.

Because they let me order food from a restaurant that is 20 minutes away, w/o traffic, in a suburb.

First time I visited Manhatten I was blown away by what I could delivered. Economy of scale, amazing! I could get a single chocolate chip cookie delivered at 2 in the morning! But that only works because the bakery that makes it was only a few blocks away.

Food Delivery companies try to bring the convenience of living in a big city to low density suburbs.

Of course that failed.

Some delivery services offer order a head of time where you place an order a day in advance and they batch up deliveries from one restaurant going to a given area. That is a sane model.

Even better, pre-pandemic, services like chow-bus that did orders and then large pickup sites in cities. You'd walk a few blocks from your work place to a pickup site where your food was waiting for you.

An actual innovative business model! Using technology to improve logistics. It was great, Seattle's business district has horrible food choices, being able to be part of a mass group order of food from a good restaurant was great! Wonderful idea.

Uber Eats is, outside major metros (of which America has very few) not a great idea.
> Twitter could've been so much better if people could post into different channels instead of dumping everything into one feed.

Twitter has posting tools for that which could be better, but they exist, are simple, and are widely used) with hashtags and mentions.

What it doesn't do is surface a UI that makes it convenient to set up a list of such channels to view and to set one as your default channel instead of the basic feed.

That is, as I understand, a common tool of third-party clients, though.
> Applied Materials ... has 1,390 open positions. #4 Lam Research has 570

With this many openings they must be having problems actually getting stuff done. But as you suggest, by the time they get a good chunk of these openings hired for they'll be looking to cut heads again. People who have been through one cycle before probably aren't inclined to go through the buzzsaw again and so move onto other industries.
> For a community of hackers, there really seems to be a lack of vision when it comes to crypto specifically.

To be fair as a Bitcoiner, Coinbase represents THE WORST most toxic aspects of our ecosystem since MTGOX, and that may be stretching it because at least Mark didn't try to behave like a bank, he just kept messing up and was way over his head in a nascent economy. Coinbvase is a YC and VC backed compnay, eith all the trimining a predatory survielence based business from the valley has on top of MTGOX's unreliability.

Honestly,and used to want to work for them in the early days: screw coinbase, I hope they get wiped out before they sell to a institutional bank and hand over their large BTC reserves. I'd welcome the large price drop if they did, too!

Vulture capitalism is what they did before, so...
The problem with Runtime at Edge is that they are extremely engineering intensive, given it isn't just hosting but the whole software stack involved. ( See CloudFlare Workers for Example ) Which is sort of outside the sweet spot that DO is currently enjoying or operating in. I am not sure if it is a sound strategic decision to persuade. Although I would certainly love to see competition in that area.
I wonder about the choice of 3.5mm TRS stereo jack for the inputs.

Ordinarily this would mean you need to buy prefabricated 3.5mm TRS cables and cut one end off to wire them up to the CT, because it's difficult or annoying to terminate your own 3.5mm TRS plug connector.

Why not some other connector choice? Maybe RJ11, or one of the typical 'green' two conductor terminal blocks socket/plug combos with latches you can get from Digikey or Mouser?
also lots of purified water
I disagree on that though. By sticking to vanilla Black (no pun intended) you ensure that people joining your time will probably already be familiar with the style, you prevent strongly opinionated employees from pushing for changes in the linter config.

Black is opinionated, so it skips the debate entirely. We just use Black, not black with 120 characters lines, just Black.

To each their own I guess, but to me it just seems like pandora's box. Once you show that you are open to changes in the linting configuration, it makes the rules mutable and pretty much guarantees that at some point someone will say "how about we just change this one parameter in the linter", which will probably be agreed by the rest of the team, not because they actually agree but because they don't want to argue.
One of the way I found is to use Adsense Host Api. So google will pay on behalf you. Sites like hubpages use this. But problem with Google Adsense Host Api is you need to have atleast 100K Page Views a day to even be eligible for the program. Secondly this can be used only when your Startup's revenue is based on Ads.
FLAC may take more bits than the wav. (It'll still be lossless.)
Interesting to see HEMA become increasingly popular.

I've done European medieval combat re-enactment for a few years, so I'd like to expand on that one fighter's comment on the "thee" and "thou" thing.

Generally, in the re-enactment community, there are three different focusses: one is authenticity, trying to replicate historical costumes, equipment and trades; another is entertainment of an audience that is rarely familiar with the subject matter; the third is combat, both as a martial art and as a form of group sports.

The theatricals that seem to be popular at American "ren faires" and the medieval markets in various parts of Europe are strictly an expression of that second focus. Most re-enactors I've met are either into the first or third one (or a mix thereof).

I see HEMA as a logical evolution of that third focus, though I personally find its emphasis on duelling and professional competitions (with all the restrictions that brings) less intriguing.

I guess my point is that you can have medieval combat without the "thee" and "thou" parts outside of HEMA as well. It's very different from HEMA and certainly attracts a different kind of people, but it's still an alternative even if you couldn't care less about the theatrics.
Ok, that at least makes sense. But ... sudoku is a puzzle - you don't (or at least I didn't) get there by iteration and testing, you get there by a flash of insight - "if I try searching like this, I might be able to end up with a solution to any sudoku board" and few hours later I knew I was right. In that way, it is unlike almost all large-scale software development.

Agile can't generate insight from nothing, it's not a silver bullet. But at least if you have some unit tests around your cool new code, you know that you won't accidentally break it later.
The article headline is misleading (I copied it verbatim), these powers are speculative at the moment.
I should add that it was 1990 that I was doing this, and although some things have improved, I think the overall picture hasn't changed a lot. Threads weren't common back then, and are now, as people realise they need to be able to run things in parallel.

The tool I have now allows people to write multi-process programs and have them communicate effectively. I'm still trying to get permission to release the system as open source, or at least publish the ideas, but the industry is notoriously secretive and conservative, so it'll be some time yet.
There's a saying that goes something like: never lend a book, always give it.

The 255 char limit is not intentional, and neither is the lack of the features you mentioned (link the HN profile, editing your entry, etc.). I am purely a designer, and am scared of writing code.

I do plan on hiring someone (or collaborating with someone) to create a more polished version.

I will include the basic functionality you mentioned, along with a more appealing design. Just a sneak peek, here's the design of next version I plan to launch:
http://i.imgur.com/KOaA8.jpg

I am a bit disappointed with the lack of feedback (positive or negative) I am getting from HN. Perhaps its because I submitted it at the wrong time. I will submit this once again when the next version is up, because I think this is a valuable service.
With the money that a programmer makes in the current market 150 a month is nothing more then beer money. The blog serves its purpose by acting as an advertisement for yourself, putting advertisements within an advertisement is a bit redundant. That one guy that gets turned away from the ads may be the guy willing to pay you made money.
Do you have a Coinbase account (non-exchange) already? What state is it registered to?
Google won't be able to break into the market. They are late to the game. Has anyone heard anything about Facebook Offers? Google is good at three things: acquiring startups, email, and search.

It is like Google has ADD.
If they are successful, they don't. I don't know where those 100k put them, that's certainly more than I expected.
Actually, i was surprised to find i wasn't affected by it at all. Apparently everything i use either knows what they're doing or wasn't in the us-east-1 region.
HBgary's social networking software; might be a counter to that argument. If they use social as a major signal SEO's will start making fake social signs as they did with fake link signals (buy / build them)
I don't think humans should be doing the text entry, too much room for human error.

But of computers enter the text and then the printing is still done by cast metal, you could have an interesting business.

I am sure that will be more expensive, but will people be willing to pay a premium?
Google is afraid Groupon (as with Yelp) will result in local advertisers using Groupon over Google. It's the same reason that Google is concerned with Facebook--advertising.
This has very little benefit for what it does.

Might as well just use Zencoding and get all the other benefits: http://code.google.com/p/zen-coding/
It would be nice if there was info about the methods they developed for testing, rather than just how effective it was.
I downvoted because the article points out that Reddit is down in the first paragraph.
And now we are back at garbage collection - the two main options are reference counting GCs and collecting GCs. I know it for the .NET GC, they tried a reference counting GC and it performed worse than a collecting GC and not to forget the trouble with cycles when implementing a reference counting GC.

And reference counting also renders the point of determinism moot - now you never know if releasing a reference while trigger freeing a resource. You could of course delay offload it to a separate thread, but this makes you lose any guarantee about the time when the resource is actually freed, too.
That isn't how the "Like" social plugin works. The site doesn't know anything about you. FB, on the other hand, does know you visited that porn site though I expect that amount of data is too much for them to store for long. They will of course definitely store something if you like it.
Using proprietary software for security is a no-go.
Exactly. The purpose of removing this book from the reading list is to reduce the exposure the student body has to it. The intended effects of "removing the book from the reading list" and "banning the book" are identical.

Because the intent is the same, it should be treated and vilified as a ban.
He still went along with it.
French subway exits are mostly in...French.

You'd be shocked. There have been years when Ford's F series pickup trucks were the best selling car in the US. Most are bought for passenger use. In my hometown, south of Detroit, virtually every other car is a full size pickup truck.
The line seems to be blurry - as I'm sure it is around the world when it comes to state level "hacking".

Agreed, but offer odd shaped potatoes at 20% less and let people decide the value of their potato peeling time.
What way should one think of it, if you concede the fact that the "new" money printed doesn't get equally distributed to all the individuals based on their proportion of ownership of the previous total of money supply?

I.e. if there is 1000 floating around, and 2 individuals in the population. Then if the government prints an extra 100, it needs to give 50 to each individual (not 100 to the one, but not the other). Probably not logistically feasible with a large population, but that way you can at least say it's not "theft".
>"Should I spend it today, tomorrow or in 10 years?"

Whenever the "future" benefit does not outweigh the "current" benefit of said money. People do it now with the interest rates the other way around, why would it be any different with deflation? I.e. they spend now, or they invest now, or they invest in financial instruments now that will beat "inflation".

Both sides of inflation/deflation affect peoples' actions based on their time preference of money[1].

[1] Economists correct me on my usage of that term, if I'm wrong.
This is really interesting and fast-ish. Who is the target audience for this though? Is there a bridge to 3D apps and you are a render farm or what? I can't imagine a scenario where everything is online in a browser?

You can just create a GitHub organization and create a Pages repo for that org.
I tried it, however I want to build something with this try. I always have had problems following through, if I was just building some kind of placeholders.
The Rosetta Stone is a stone, found near Rosetta, Egypt, with an inscription in three scripts (Ancient Egyptian hieroglyphs, Demotic, and Ancient Greek), which led to the modern decipherment of the hieroglyphs.
thanks, those look like really nice ressources. Bookmarked.
Why say US workers are overpaid instead of saying UK workers are underpaid?
Haha. None whatsoever.

The assurance is that everyone in the field seems to take the work seriously. But the reality is that errors creep in from a variety of corners. I would not be even slightly surprised to find that the validation data is substantially similar. We're still at the "bangs rocks together to make fire" phase of ML, which is both exciting and challenging; we're building the future from the ground up.

People rarely take the time to look at the actual images, but if you do, you'll notice they have some interesting errors in them: https://twitter.com/theshawwn/status/1262535747975868418

I built an interactive viewer for the tagging site: https://tags.tagpls.com/

(Someone tagged all 70 shoes in this one, which was kind of impressive... https://tags.shawwn.com/tags/https://battle.shawwn.com/sdc/i... )

Anyway, some of the validation images happen to be rotated 90 degrees and no one noticed. That made me wonder what other sorts of unexpected errors are in these specific 50,000 validation images that the world just-so-happened to decide were Super Important to the future of AI.

The trouble is, images in general are substantially similar to the imagenet validation dataset. In other words, it's tempting to try to think of some way of "dividing up" the data so that there's some sort of validation phase that you can cleanly separate. But reality isn't so kind. When you're at the scale of millions of images, holding out 10% is just a way of sanity checking that your model isn't memorizing the training data; nothing more.

Besides, random 90 degree rotations are introduced on purpose now, so it's funny that old mistakes tend not to matter.
> Then there's bandwidth. I am luckily able to provide computers to my two children, but when myself, my spouse and my kids are all online at the same time, as well as every other person in our estate, there are understandable capacity issues.

This is off topic, but lack of sufficient bandwidth is only due to government sponsored monopolies such as Verizon and Comcast. There is no reason fiber can’t be extended everywhere. Somehow, the great US of A can get water, gas, sewer, and electrical utilities to a vast majority of homes, but not fiber internet.

Therefore, I don’t think one should accept lack of bandwidth as “acceptable”. It’s only a political consequence of lobbying by entrenched interests. The municipalities that have cleared this political hurdle enjoy access to plentiful bandwidth.
I'm trying really hard to like Julia but constantly chasing "ERROR: MethodError: no method matching" messages gets frustrating very quickly.
He also referenced the story from 2002 about the man who burned his "delicate bits" with a hot laptop. He suggests it may be apocryphal. I remember that story [1].

The main reason I remember it is because of the reported warning text. At that time, I owned a Dell Latitude L400 laptop, which did indeed come with the exact warning text quoted in the article. It got got far hotter than any other laptop I have used. I have no trouble believing it could burn someone.

This is the key line that the original article is missing imo, which solves much of the headache that they claim exists with message passing/raising state:

> a view updating itself from the model should never trigger transactions on the database

i.e. a view rendering from state/messages, should never re-emit new state/messages.
Fauci said he lies often, right after the NYT tried to smear me for noticing that Fauci, indeed, lies often.

https://twitter.com/philwmagness/status/1342349517669228544?...

The party-lining here is from you, not me. I gave Fauci credit for giving long-standing advice against mass masking for the whole population in March, 2020. That matched advice over decades from WHO and CDC.

I'm using the word "extremist" because you are unequivocally 100% against the NSA. Those are your words. That's an extreme position. You could not possibly be more against them, because you're at one extreme of the continuum of beliefs about the goodness of the NSA. Whereas anigbrowl is not an extremist, in that he is not unequivocally 100% in favor of the NSA.

I'm not even sure why it's offensive to you that I'm calling your position extremist, or you extremist in so far as you adopt that position, given your clearly stated understanding of your position. I'm an extremist when it comes to the badness of molesting infants, for example. I understand that this is hypocritical with respect to what I wrote above, I just feel that strongly about it.

But "the worst kind of [government] apologist" is needlessly pejorative and doesn't advance any useful argument, besides indicating that anigbrowl's position is somewhat pro-NSA, which is not a priori a bad thing.

People who "hate on JavaScript" tend to know the language very well. They also know at least several other languages very well. This knowledge makes JavaScript's many flaws much more obvious, and much less justifiable.

The basic fact is that prototype-based OO, for example, is much less practical than class-based OO. Experienced developers comprehend JavaScript's attempt at it just fine. This understanding doesn't change its inferiority, however. This is exactly why so many developers need to compensate for JavaScript's lack of desired functionality in this area by trying to fake class-based OO using the limited functionality that JavaScript does offer.

The same goes for many other aspects of JavaScript. Bad tools are still bad, even in the hands of experts.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about when you mention "evolving standards". If anything, JavaScript's standards haven't evolved well at all. Harmony is only now proposing the addition of core functionality that has been present in other languages for decades now, and should have been in JavaScript from the very beginning, too. JavaScript is merely "evolving" to where it should have been many years ago.
It will be interesting to see if this works in implementation.

I remember when I was younger the UN Dropped pink bottles of food to the Masai.

The Masai men didn't like the feminine implication and refused to consume.

Will be curious to know how this is marketed to the people.
