Do they have Atoms performance issues under control now?

I always read Python is much slower than JavaScript, but Sublime just is an instant experience and Atom feels like starting WebStorm, just with lesser features...
So, not to sound negative or anything, but I'm pretty sure vimscript will become deprecated once Neovim is used widely.
Maybe I'm reading your question wrong, however:

Reverse engineering someone else's work for profit seems lazy, asking help deciding who to rip-off seems extremely lazy.

Have you considered doing something interesting/useful with your life?
Creating sock puppet accounts to comment and upvote on your HN submissions does not work.
Because it's not a question mark in the first place for most people. Does it really make you happier if Amazon keeps those pennies instead of me using them to pay Linode? If I point you in the direction of a bad product on Amazon, it's going to be abundantly clear when you see that it has terrible reviews there. That's when it would be valid for you to flip the credibility bozo bit on me, but not simply for using an affiliate link.

I agree that most technical books are pretty bad. That's why I've only made blog posts recommending 2-3 out of the dozens that publishers have sent me to review.

In fact, if you look a few years back on my blog, Intel gave me a nice Ultrabook to review and I ultimately posted saying that I could not recommend it due to the keyboard. If I'll bite the hand that feeds me $1,500 laptops, I'm pretty confident that a few Amazon dollars here and there are not clouding my judgement.

(BTW, I wasn't the one who downvoted you; I couldn't even if I wanted to since your comment is a reply to mine)
If the angle changes, the details of the building's facade changes as well. You can see in the code that he isolates the building's details from the first frame. Then compares later images to it to do the "tracking".
We still have gas lamps in Malvern, I wonder if that's why - or if we still have gas lamps anywhere else?
This can be corrected by target.example.com and victim.example.com. Conveys the context while remaining safe as an example.
From 1994... that's depressing.
I've heard opposite complaints about what that slant is (I think entirely from people making their claims in good faith). And of course, both could be correct: there could be a particular mainstream and everyone whose views are outside of it in any direction might find a somewhat chilly reception.

> far too many people would rather down vote than refute an argument

Another challenge is that there's not always a consensus about what downvoting is appropriate for. (Disagreement, tone, bad faith, personal attacks, poor logic, off-topic, etc.? Or just "too controversial and not likely to lead to a good discussion, even though it might well be correct"? For that matter, people can't quite agree on what is or isn't on-topic here.)

I sometimes wish HN had downvote reason metadata so that people could understand more about what was prompting other people to downvote them. You can see that people are often genuinely confused about it, but the site rules discourage people from complaining about it, and it's hard to distinguish a confused question from a complaining question when people ask why they were downvoted. But we don't really have any challenge for people to say "I was offended by your view" vs. "I think you treated someone else in the conversation disrespectfully" vs. "I don't think HN is the right place for this argument", etc.
The same blog has a post that tries to tackle that issue. You are right, looking at the US isn't a complete picture.
This post examines that issue from IMO a more holistic standpoint that DCA isn't just a strategy, it's closer to everyone's "real" experience.

https://ofdollarsanddata.com/realistic-investment-results/

I think what I took from it is there's a level at which I sort of don't take the criticism I guess seriously (more like harsly?) of DCA, because like, after much gnashing and grinding of teeth, life looks a lot like dollar cost averaging for most folks.

So okay, then we can talk about diversification, which is important, and this and that and blah.
But like, unless you hit it big and sell your business or something and suddenly have to figure out what to do with 7-8 figures, you don't quite experience the same problem.

It just feels like as tempting as the standard deviation on potential performance looks like, and as convincing as the anecdotes feel, how real is any of this?
There's more important factors that are definitely in your control, vs things that questionably or I suppose reasonably aren't.
No, it doesn't.

malloc(0) != malloc(0) because the internal malloc header is different for each allocation.

Asking for a malloc of size n, means internally the malloc library allocates n + h, where h is the internal malloc header size. So there is always an allocation being done for at least a size of h, just with an internal bookkeeping "size" field set to zero.

and yes, while(1) malloc(0); will eventually run out of memory, counter-intuitively :-).
Yes, I dont think intelligence is cognitive -- it's the content of cognition. Where does that come from? Essentially our bio-organic structure as distributed across the body, and esp. motor cortext.

In otherwords, the AI problem is unsolvable by any system. It's the wrong problem. Cognition, as a formal structure, isnt intelligent.
Nice, just needs prettier screenshots.

I disagree. The companies chasing the hype are bubble companies.

The companies providing value, creating profits are using old boring tried and tested unfashionable technology.
" People lined up at banks on Fridays, to deposit their paychecks and withdraw cash for the weekend. If you ran out of cash over the weekend, too bad."

Not in 1990, that's for sure. Heck, in _1981_ we had ATMs all over my small town of Vernon, BC. Wikipedia (which _wasn't_ around in 1990, and I would sorely miss) tells me the first ATMs came into the United states around 1969 - and browsing through that article, the appear to be fairly common by 1975)
Good, maybe it'll bring some faster innovation to the automotive market.

It would also have some implications for more developers or startups who would jump at building tools for finding things to do locally or maybe even vacation car pooling type services.
Well the Azov Battalion was and is in Mariupol (not Lyiv), and they are the vanguard of the Nazi element in Ukraine. As to your point about Putin wanting a more pro-Russian government in Ukraine, of that I have no doubt.
I don't understand why you think building alternative app stores is somehow a limiting factor. If you want to use some software, and the company wants to bypass Apple's protections, they'll just put a download link on their website. Why go through the hassle of registering with any "app store" at all?
I would like something like this for linux, any recommendations? I usually run some Image Magick command or open Krita simple editing, and it feels like overkill. I thought about configuring imv[0] to have some common editing features, but didn't take the time yet.

Work presented in a poster doesn't have to be published. And the biggest benefit is you usually get to talk to a person standing with the poster that did the work. Lot's of interesting information comes by that route, not to mention connections.
I've had managers be critical of candidates with poor eye contact before. I've had to remind them that not everyone is good at that. It certainly isn't required for being a software engineer.
But the big advantage of using Electron is that you know exactly what browser and Node version you are targetting. That takes away a lot of the cross-browser HTML/CSS pain.
I don’t have a problem with you advertising that water is not wet on Facebook using your own money.
Wonder if some old netbooks could be used for this purpose. Doubt I am the only one with a small pile of them laying around.
"This is not the same river! All the water is new!"
The book I mentioned addresses that. It’s a quick read, highly recommended.
I made some Alexa skills years ago that are still up running on Lambda. They've never been used enough to get me charged.
I'm sure that's common, but by no means universal. I work at a 5 person startup, and do wear a lot of hats, but remote is flexible (2 or more days a week) and I maintain reasonable work hours. Just saying it does exist.

One reason I think it works is all of us are very autonomous in day to day tasks, and only meet occasionally to verify priority and align expectations.
Many crucial keys are missing. That does not look functional.
"Performant" actually isn't a dictionary word, there is sort of a debate about it's use:

http://english.stackexchange.com/questions/38945/what-is-wro...

the way they are using it seems like their spell checker just changed the word from "performant" to "performance"
When people cut into that big open space then I ease off the gas a little and let more room open up between us. Someone else cuts in, and I just keep doing the same. Just because they're going to drive dangerously doesn't mean I have to.
Counterpoint: How many words are left that aren't overloaded in a mathematical context?
My question is why is the fox looking at just the earth? What about mars or space in general? I guess I'd be using Chrome.
I’m confused at the end goal here. Is this for “protection” or for “fraud” concerns? Stock manipulation isn’t legal, but banding together to pump and dump and things like that... if they’re not part of the company where insider trading or anything could be a reason, how is that really anything that should be regulated? Sounds like free market to me.

This just seems like worries that the villagers are figuring out ways to band together and the rulers are scared.
Perhaps mostly about organization, yeah.

The "quantified self" bit is what you could call learning, but ironically so far I've mostly failed to find any significant correlations in my personal data (which is also an interesting finding, in a way :) ). However I did learn a lot about nutrition/exercise/sleep while tinkering with data, so it was totally worth it so far.

I write about it a bit more here: https://beepb00p.xyz/tags.html#quantifiedself
Your manager told you what they are looking for. Can you just ask him or her for a suggestion on what good, highly visible project you should tackle? If not your manager maybe someone in the product organization?

Quite frankly I would kill to be empowered to focus on one impactful project.
The comment just above yours tells less rosy story: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26280823
"Ninety percent of our customers are finding us because of Facebook" (Restaurant owner)

I don't understand why iOS Location perms wouldn't be better for targeting ads than full-tracking across apps and sites?

Don't get me wrong. The Apple Tax has potential to get out of control. But FB needs to present better arguments than SMBs who can already geo target ads using basic tools.
The latency issue seems to be a bit of a myth; every discussion of Stadia is filled with people who assume it's a problem, and multiple Stadia users saying they've never encountered it.
Good we have a fix for a bug, that has been pestering me for quite a long time. As for maximum timeout, I believe that setting a maximum timeout in sysfs with default of 1s should make satisfy most people (unless anyone wants per-device max wait time?)
In what circumstances would the wood both be heated enough for that to make a difference and you'd still be able to escape in that direction?

I.e. if the wood is being heated by fire on either side....
Exactly.

Unless it's running an opencores CPU (or OpenSPARC), it's not anywhere near a "philosophically pure laptop"
Looks like it conflates arrivals with departures.
Why does Hacker News hate funny?
"But are you sure you want to trust a single person with your entire fortune? Worse, you're trusting multiple people where any single person can take your fortune."

Coinbase is hopefully not entrusting individual employees with cold storage keys. Their security page suggests they're using Shamir's Secret Sharing or similar (https://www.coinbase.com/security), though multisig would be even better.
This is good stuff -- the author was in charge of faceted search at LinkedIn.
Yes, it would lose the image once the display is no longer driven. The main attraction is the removal of the need for a backlight and the sunlight readability and all the other advantages that come from using actual pigments.
Right, yes, before central heating came along (in, what, the '60s?) everyone was dead.
I wonder if the planes from back then could handle G-forces like that back then.

(they probably could)
Type strong to type less. :)
Here's the problem. The article does not say what you have to do to trademark something, but it does point to an article on a law firm site: https://www.legalteamusa.net/trademark-law-first-to-use-v-fi.... The site says that you get trademark rights once you "use the mark in commerce". It then goes on to suggest that "use in commerce" means an actual sale. There's more here: https://www.cohnlg.com/trademark-use-in-commerce-heres-how-i...

So, what does this mean in an open source context? How can you meet the "use in commerce" requirement if you never actually offer anything for sale?
Go ahead, put those fingers in your ears. You'll be starving soon enough along with the rest of us.

You might want to check the news. The arctic has melted, temperatures have topped 100 degrees. The sea ice, where still present, is less than an inch thick. Commercial shipping is happening in winter without the aid of icebreaking ships. The Polar Vortex has gotten completely destabilized, sending the Jet Stream careening deep into southern latitudes (which is why Texas froze).

This is ecological doom knocking at our door. There are multiple, overlapping positive feedback loops occurring. You really should be paying attention and not just smugly pretending that you can "own the libs".
Definitively not x86 only.

There are targets for ARM, x86, m68k, PPC.

There is a target specifically for rpi, but I have no idea if it is currently functioning.
You don't need government policies that encourage this outcome - this outcome is the default. Money begets money, wealth accumulates where there is more wealth. You need active government policies to prevent/reverse that, but those are hard to maintain because wealth also buys power.
This is the fundamental problem with "evidence led policy". As soon as science can reliably affect policy outcomes, people who want to change policy outcomes will corrupt the science.
Biontech is ramping production at a new site, Marburg in germany I think (too lazy to Google right now). Sanofi will start manufacturing in summer as their own mRNA vaccine is delayed.

As all ramp ups, I don't care that much about initial speed, but rather about how fast the goal, in our case a vaccination rate of 60+%, is reached. Justhaving doses produced isn't any good when these doses aren't getting into peoples arms.
Now I will get downvotes from India, but let's try:

It is percent of population that matters not absolute number of vaccinated people. Israel is near 70%, while India is only 0.5% [1].

CFR per capita, while looks good (113.97 deaths per million) is not actually good compared to Mongolia (0.62 deaths per million)[2]. You know, who else is doing well - Belarus (195.31 deaths per million). I don't believe Belarus numbers as all countries around are burning (500+ deaths per million). Could it be that India is faking it as well? Based on corruption index [3] it is even worse than Belarus.

There is a place for code, no code and eveything in between. Code is more expressive. No code is generally faster (in the limited domain for which it is intended).

The big mistake comes when no code tools are overhyped, as happens so often. No code tools are only ever going to be applicable to relatively narrow domains. Trying to make them completely general, like a general coding language, is invariably a bad idea.

My https://www.easydatatransform.com/ tool is primarily a visual drag and drop tool for transforming data (join, filter, pivot etc). But one of the 50 transforms is a Javascript transform, so you can drop down and do some coding if you have a really obscure data transformation. That seems like the best of both worlds to me.
> But the number of positive tests should have gone down considerably

> "Israeli study finds 94% drop in -> SYMPTOMATIC <- COVID-19 cases with Pfizer vaccine"

Asymptomatic cases still spread the virus.
I agree with most of these things. The one caveat is #1. Though index funds have historically been the best investment, the past does not equal the future. With EVERYONE getting the advice to invest in index funds, that pushes up the price of the stocks in the index. That's where all the competition is.
I'm more a fan of Peter Lynch's philosophy of investing where you have an advantage.

I'm not saying don't do index funds at all, and niehter is morelandjs, but just be conscious of this dynamic.

My personal approach is to invest directly in industries that I know well, like tech, and to find funds to invest in industries that I think are promising but I don't know enough about to make good investment decisions, like ARK Genomics.

And I'd add to the list "get some reputable crypto (BTC, ETH, ETC)".
I don't think there's the need to take the examples in the article hyper literally. You can call them strawmen if you'd like but simplification for the sake of presenting a point (which you seem to have ignored) is necessary.
Yes. It is ok to reject a job for any reason, or even without one.

(It is also ok to reject a candidate for any reason, or even without one.)
While the security guard doesn't actively catch criminals, he still may act as a deterrent. In that sense, he's still somewhat useful.

Interesting article nonetheless!
That's certainly the Republican narrative of that FISA warrant. The inspector general report that found "material misstatements" found no evidence of politically-motivated or intentional abuse. It was basically technical sloppiness.

The Iraq WMD lies were driven directly from the White House, it was not a rogue CIA. For J. Edgar Hoover's FBI you have a point, but it led to many reforms by the Church Committee in the 70s.
Windows is crap, Linux is crap, macOS is crap... the crap frat in action. Maybe I'm too pragmatic, maybe OSs are difficult and engineers working on them deserve some credit. Maybe...
Interesting. Nice notes, thanks! I liked "Leven of malice" and found myself thinking of it again recently reading "the shipping news": -the resonances of small (and not so small) town newspaper publishing in the two. And Proulx writes of similarly broken people.

"A mixture of frailties" is a great read for anyone who has uprooted themselves for serious study or work, and suffers culture shock.

My mum was an art historian and studied under Anthony Blunt at the Courtauld Institute so you can understand how "Cornish" read to me.

If you haven't read "Possession" by AS Byatt, I think having enjoyed "Cornish" you would like it. A very different book but touching many similar concepts without the magical realism perhaps. (Academic rivalries, art history)

I often think of the "putting yourself on trial" rap from "the Manticore" -my own star chamber isn't always as even handed.
A pedantic criticism of the title: ‘Heuristics that almost always work’ is a truism, or a tautology. If a heuristic worked 100% of the time, it would no longer be a heuristic, it would be a rule!
Yes that's what I figured, but still that's only in one place (in the declaration).
Why would he be alone? Why is spelling less important in code than in normal writing? I would argue it is considerably more important.
'\0' is null-terminated NOT zero-terminated, no ?
By definition, a string in C is always null-terminated.
Without loss of any generality, I can tell you that in the case of our daughter, the information we eventually tracked down and applied was far, far, far more useful than the trained professionals we were working with at the time. Her gastroenterologist had come highly recommended, was dedicated, gave us all the time we needed, and was dumber than a bag of hammers, poor man. Yeah, he sure did think we were difficult patients, I'll give you that - but that note in the file represents the doctor's insecurity, and not necessarily that the patient is an idiot. (And I really must hasten to agree that there are a lot of idiots. It's a case-by-case thing.)

People research their own medical issues when they're not getting satisfactory treatment. Simple as that. If you had a family doctor you trusted, who you felt was giving you the straight-up truth about what was wrong, what he was doing, why things were happening, you wouldn't need to go reading poorly spelled forum entries by mental midgets using crystals.

In our son's case, we went through seven nephrologists before finding one that was satisfactory. (Well, actually two of the others were OK, but logistically more difficult.) Our dealings with Riley Children's Hospital's head nephrologist were disastrous, truly disastrous, another bag-of-hammers case, and she's respected in the field.

But the problem with parents taking medical care of their undiagnosable or untreatable children in hand is that most people don't know how to separate bullshit from valuable information (of course, this applies even if you're dealing with the professionals), and the deck is stacked against you in major ways. We're kind of an exception. I've been told I should write a book about our experience, but jeez, who's got time for that?

Balance this against some very good experiences we've had in the past with physicians treating my wife, but seriously - medical training is overrated, to an alarming degree. As is most training, of course, but medical training is so fetishized that it stands apart.
If 95% of people use less than 2GB per month, why did they need to change the plans? Surely the people using gigantic amounts of data are breaking the terms of service and can be dealt with.

I think it's a better policy to gently disuade, via pricing structure, people from going hog-wild on consuming a finite, shared resource. Trying to handle each case on the back end as a TOS violation sounds a lot more messy, expensive, and reactive to me.

You know there are probably guys out there who would torrent hundreds of movies over a tethered phone or share their MP3 collection over Limewire (ok, I'm dating myself), or perpetually stream video if they thought to themselves "hey, it's free". This pricing structure is designed to make those guys feel the pinch, as well they should. There's only so much spectrum in the neighborhood of a given tower.
Esperanto: An artificial language based as far as possible on words common to all the European languages. http://wordnetweb.princeton.edu/perl/webwn?s=esperanto

I don't speak Esperanto. Why would you use it internally while using some other language externally? Why not just speak one language and be done with it? It doesn't make any sense.
I have my "snake fight" scheduled for two weeks from now, so this is good to keep in mind.

My plan is to prepare numerous backup slides with lots of Python that I can use to distract the snake.
So basically the author did not bother to read the pdf he had referenced at the bottom. It is short and quite clear.
