For those who -like me- don't know much about what this means, here goes a summary:

There are basically two ways to program graphics on linux: OpenGL and Vulkan. OpenGL is older and more high-level, while Vulkan is newer and lower level, which should let programmers extract the most out of your hardware (at a development cost).

On the OpenGL front AMD open sourced and pushed for their RadeonSI driver. It works fine, although some say that its performance is somewhat worse than the (closed source) nvidia drivers.

On the Vulkan front, two years ago AMD promised to open source their driver some day. They've now announced that the source release is imminent. However, this is a driver they've developed to share as much as possible between windows and linux, and hence it doesn't "play along" with the linux-specific inter-driver sharing efforts (Mesa [1]).

Due to the long-shot promise, one guy developed RADV: a Vulkan driver that builds on Mesa. The advantage of this driver is that since it's always been open source and plays well with the linux driver-sharing efforts, it's been packaged on most distros and is really easy to use. The disadvantge is that its performance is lackluster. RADV's author has stated that he will continue to work on it despite AMD finally open-sourcing their Vulkan driver. People hope that having access to the AMD Vulkan driver will allow RADV to reap some optimitzations from it.

At this point you are ready to check the very recent benchmarks to see how performance compares between opengl/vulkan and radv/amd's vulkan driver [2]. TL/DR: NVidia propietary driver > RadeonSI OpenGL > AMD's Vulkan > RADV. I don't know how they compare drivers' performance between NVidia and AMD, but this seems to be the sentiment.

Hey HackerNews,
I'm a content creator based out of Toronto, Canada - I JUST uploaded my new Christmas themed Comedy Prank and would LOVE if you checked it out - the response so far has been nothing but crazy positive and I believe it is NOT your average video AT ALL - This is certainly different haha - and would love to get a post on your website if you like it

To me twitter was always a nice way to read a short concise joke /idea/thought or just click on an interesting link. The max number of characters was too short for BS. Now they have decided to remove all the BS filters all together instead of doing the single simple thing that users have been asked for years. WTF.
Wouldn’t a filter() achieve the same result?

I’ve seldom seen a jump this dramatic before on any new generation of Macs – 20%-30% speed increases are the norm … NOT 200%-300% increases. That’s SIGNIFICANT.

Isn’t this simply a consequence of Apple not having any competitive pro desktop hardware since 2013?

I’m not sure they deserve praise for just catching up.

I once had an issue where my phone line was completely dead, but I was still getting ADSL, just at very slow speeds. In the order of 1mbit.

After the technician came he told me that one of the two phone line wires had been broken off at the exchange.

In other words, there wasn't a complete electrical circuit.

The phone was dead but ADSL still works without even having a complete circuit.

I don't even understand how that can work at all.
You can expect increase in the value, actually even everybody can expect, but as long as there is no marketing of increase in value, or misdirection it is fair game.

If you are investing in real estate, you have an expectation in increase in value, but if the real estate agent is promising you, increase in the value, and promising you to do the all marketing, etc and selling part. Then it is something else.

The point is basically intentionally misleading investor.
People were getting annoyed with the high fees and slow transaction times of Bitcoin. LTC is much faster, has cheaper fees, and has a higher cap on currency that can be mined. A few days ago Redditors on r/bitcoin (or maybe r/btc I cant remember) suggested people with these complaints switch to LTC. More and more posts started popping up to rally LTC. Some even mentioned that most coins had a tight correlation with Bitcoin, which LTC did not seem to have. If this were true, and Bitcoin were to crash, LTC would have the greatest chance of overtaking it. The next day LTC started to rise. Im not 100% sure of correlation, but I believe these reasons to be a part of the cause. It could also have to do with big name investors starting to research cryptocurrencies after CBOE went live, or something else entirely.
Straw man for what? The "article" is just a link to a coinbase status page. I have heard several people, technical people, say that crypto is all around worthless.
Frankly I think there's also some sort of "sympathy level" in the law.

If a little old lady living on a fixed income loses all her meager savings to a huckster we feel a lot worse for her than if a Wall Street 1%er with three houses loses all his savings to the same huckster.

Which might not be the fairest or most logical way to legislate, but laws are about feelings as much as anything else.
This is what I do too.

I used to use Cygwin but it became a pain to manage the packages and it couldn't update it's own setup.exe last I checked.

I recently tried out WSL and I still run into problems with the file system. My home directory is in a new place which is kind of annoying. And cloning a repo with Git changed all the line endings. autocrlf didn't do anything for me either.

10:1 or 20:1 would have sufficed, I think.

But I don't think managers understand that while options might make people stay while things are going well, they make them flee (or worse, stay and become resentful) when things are clearly not going well.

If you reward someone for their service you have to do it right or don't bother at all. A reward that loses its value, is delivered late, or requires the recipient to nag you constantly to deliver at all, has negative value for the person. 'Thanks for nothing' is not something you want to hear from an employee. It crushes motivation.
For those commentors who think digital privacy is a basic human right and should be protected by their goverment: Does that mean you'd knowingly bankrupt facebook, google, gmail, youtube, etc? You absolutely cannot assume that could just seamlessly switch to a payment model and everything would be fine.

In Colorado they simply cannot convince the public to pass a law allowing liquor/beer stores in grocery sales. The public doesn't want to knowingly condemn every mom and pop liquor store because safeway would easily put them out of business. Do you really think the public would knowingly condemn facebook, twitter, google, youtube, etc.?

(Fb/google/etc are not mom and pop, but the comparison still holds some merit)

As a recent downtown SF resident who just fled San Francisco after 6 years I completely agree. Sad about his passing, but SF politics and policies are completely backward. The city refuses to acknowledge problems and punish bad behavior for fear of social justice backlash. Instead they villainize hard working Americans and victimize criminals. Off to greener pastures; Nashville TN for me.

> But I don't understand everyone's certainty that cryptocurrencies are a fraud-bubble-scam-Ponzi-mania.

When it blows up, you won't understand why the SEC didn't protect you. By then, you'll realize it was a mirage all along, and you'll want someone to blame for letting it get so out of hand. Every piece of news you interpret will tell you that losing money was not your fault, because that's what you'll want to believe.

On the flip side, the current price action is causing the same sort of confirmation bias--just in the opposite direction.

All right, but if the coin is inseparable part of the resource, it cannot be a security. There is a thin line here.

True, but then you're limited to things which can be stored in a blockstream in the space allocated to a single coin. There aren't many useful resources that could fit into that space, even fewer that would scale.

Now imagine Ethereum. It was ICO'd, talking in today's terms. Is it a security? (hint: SEC just admitted it's not)

Unless there is something about Ethereum that I'm not aware of, it does not represent any sort of ownership interest in another asset, it is the asset.
> It's always easier to do what big telecom wants.

I'm pretty sure that "big telecom" never wanted to have their exclusive franchises eliminated, to be forced to provide non-discriminatory access to poles and ducts, be forced to provide universal service, etc. But Congress did all those things in the 1996 act. The cynicism misconceives the situation. The real problem is building a coalition to take away authority from state/local governments. It's hard to get republicans to say that state/local governments shouldn't have authority over the permitting process used for building wires in their jurisdiction. That's a quintessentially state/local issue. And it's hard to get democrats to say that state/local governments shouldn't be able to use these processes to advance various social agendas.

It's just a microcosm of a bigger problem, which is that while our federal government has joined with the rest of the world in deregulating large spheres of the economy, our state/local governments are hopelessly backwards, and for the most part Congress can't do anything about that. I was just in Tokyo and the loose zoning laws meant that even space under freeway overpasses was being utilized for stores and shops. You're just not allowed to do that sort of thing in the U.S.

Ed Lee took over Newsom's spot with a pledge that he would not run for Mayor in the special election (since taking over as interim Mayor would give him a big incumbent bump since many voters are apathetic about local elections and tend to just pick the name they recognize).

I don't understand the down votes on your comment. I think a lot of what you're saying makes sense.
> Strongly disagree with that one. A UI that lets you work in the most efficient way (e.g. vi) can also be well designed, even if it's incredibly difficult to learn.

See, I don't think you do disagree. I said a UI should be learnable while being used - vi is. I said nothing about it that learning needing to happen quickly.

I use vim every day; it's not my primary editor, but I'm incredibly comfortable with it, which I wasn't for years after I started using it. But during those years of learning, I never got stuck with an unusable dev environment, I never lost data, I never had to Google how to proceed in order to get my work done. If I ran into a problem, I had the option of opening an alternative editor and continuing with my nice non-corrupted dev env, or I could choose to spend some time figuring out the vim way (and learn something).

vi/vim have no foot guns.

Perhaps this comparison is slightly unfair to git - vi is much simpler insofar as a modal interface is a simpler concept to grok than directed acyclic graphs. So they're not directly comparable, since vi's main barrier to learning is memorising commands and git's is conceptual. However - as has been mentioned elsehwere - hg makes a fine candidate in that regard.
Id say that this article is trying to be too general and give advice for a too broad case. It would be better to focus on real world cases, solve them and try to find some slightly generalised advice </meta>
That makes sense, I kind of figured they were doing something screwy. I'm guessing a blacklist on certain User-Agent settings.

When I was messing with it I could get it to work with curl and (eventually) urllib but urllib3 was no bueno until I tried to reproduce the problem and just copied the header with the User-Agent field from the urllib code.

1) I don't think it actually uses async/await as it explicitly targets ES3. It's probably just using callbacks or something.

2) Parallelism isn't guaranteed by goroutines anyways, and this is targeted towards building new apps more than it is reusing existing Go code, so it shouldn't really be that much of an issue. Most web apps/SPAs have no need for parallelism.

Thank you for your reply. Much appreciated.

I'm just getting started on this path, and I'm really starting to see that like you said, excellent customer service--not beautiful code or elegantly applied computer science principles, etc.--is the most important thing.

I too would be very impressed by a powerful machine that showed up on my doorstep free of charge. I might become less impressed when I look at the cost/benefit of such a machine.

> Well, the money has to come from somewhere.

Sort of.

> If you have a homogenous group, all with the same income/wealth, then UBI would do nothing.

True. In this scenario, demand is already as elastic as it's going to get. It would basically be impossible for the economy to be operating below full productive capacity. A basic income would either cause inflation or indirectly cause people's incomes do decrease by the same amount in some other way (e.g. taxes or monetary tightening).

> You need a group of people with diversified income/wealth.

Yes. In this case, basic income would actually benefit us because it can increase quantities demanded at current prices thereby incentivizing producers to produce more stuff for people.

> The wealthier contribute more than they get from UBI, the poorer contribute less (if any) than they get from UBI.

Hmm. Not really. I'm going to push back on you here a little bit. The value of a UBI does not come from people "contributing" to it. It comes from the capacity of the economy to produce more stuff in response to the additional spending.

I think you're talking about taxation here. But I don't think it's useful to think of basic income as being funded by taxes. The amount you tax does not have any direct effect on how much basic income you can afford to provide.

> But it will never happen in America, land of absurd tax code complexity. And certainly not with a name like Universal Basic Income. It would have to be called something else to avoid triggering people.

Yup. At least politically, taxes and government spending are hopelessly intertwined. But it doesn't have to be this way. And there's nothing stopping a startup from offering a basic income. I'm skeptical that Circles is the start up to do it, but I fully believe that it can be done.

I would actually be fine with it - I'm pretty sure I am not using full bandwidth supported by my cable and I'd be fine for Comcast to use it for whatever they like, in exchange for free Wifi and stuff. But when they also want to charge me a fee for that, that's where it doesn't work for me. If you want to host your infrastructure, which you sell, in my home - why I should be the one paying for it?
This is only software I have ever seen that actually got smaller over time.

Not only that, it is the only software I have ever seen that used a GUI and then ditched it in a subsequent version.

Few programs are so aligned with my own software sensibilities.

Only complaint is that they used to have a FreeBSD port and now only have Linux and macOS but no BSD.

Unfortunately Linux compat in BSD is being perceived by some as a potential security issue these days.

I would expect that the majority of the latter two groups are also in the first one, and very close to 100% of the last group is in the second one. Do you not think so?
> I think this is easier said than done.

Agreed

> And once that happens, why sell half of it, vs all of it? 3 times the current value is a LOT of money and that usually takes at least 8-10 years in the equity market. Now that it happens, you're cashing out just to recoup your costs? Cash out everything, or cash out nothing and let it all ride until it's an even larger amount.

I agree "just recouping your costs" is not really exciting by itself. The idea is that you think it might go much higher, but - crucially - you're not sure. It's just about reducing your exposure to risk at the cost of some upside potential. It all depends on your risk appetite.
