I've loved 80s/90s Japanese cars since the 80s/90s, then got sucked into the social pressures and spent 5-6 years in a couple of different brand new cars. Last year after a horrific experience with a brand new VW (3 page list of repairs and replacements in the first year of ownership, they bought it back off us), it hit home how screwed we are when a modern car breaks. They're so complicated now, with so much electronics. They even steer and park themselves. You can't tinker with them, tweak the ECU to your liking, or fix things yourself. There's some you can't even service yourself: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volvo_YCC

Now I'm back in 90s cars. Something breaks? Buy the part on eBay and swap it out yourself. Anyone can do it really, they're such simple cars. They're still comfortable, have aircon, generally higher quality than modern cars, way cheaper, and they can't ever track/sell your data.

Oh right, the "Microsoft changed" meme.

4 out of those 5 points are ongoing and highlight that in fact Microsoft has not changed, following the same pattern.

Plus I don't really care that it happened in 1998. Can't forgive that. Sorry.

In society when people hurt other people, usually relationships get broken indefinitely, we don't really forgive unless it's about family or close friends. I don't see why companies should be any less different.

As they say, don't do the crime, if you can't do the time. Maybe companies should think twice before doing shit.
> ”And they don’t mean “good” as in quality. They mean good as in “on the side of the angels.”

That is a fundamentally huge misunderstanding of ethics, confusion between ethos and pathos. Ethics is about doing the right thing even if in opposition to your personal beliefs. There is nothing necessarily ethical about activities in fulfillment of a cause.

This isn't the problem I most prominently see in software with regards to ethics or product quality. I far more frequently see people half-assing product quality in order to make timelines and either keep their jobs or fulfill some qualitative metric that earns a larger annual bonus.

I agree, programming languages have not caught up yet.

The right kind of language looks at serial program formulations and based on flow-analysis automatically identifies parallelizable fragments that are large enough to benefit from multicore, then schedules these fragments e.g. by using work-stealing in a system of green threads, i.e., mapping green threads to OS cores as efficiently as possible. Something like that.

In a good parallel language there need to be many immutable constructs by default, exception handling is tricky, and ordinary flow control needs to be compatible by default with parallel evaluation. The languages I've seen such as Parasail are not yet production ready.

Making the programmer control parallelism can be okay, like in Go and Ada, but in the end it should be automatic.

Edit: The problem is also that finding a neat way of solving the problem academically does not readily translate into an efficient implementation, so much that I wonder whether green threads are actually worth it over OS threads. In most languages/VMs they aren't but Go seems to be an exception.
True.

I know people who fit in the classical "over 30" role with 23 because they got two children and I know people who don't fit in that role with 42.

But I think there is a high correlation between age and state of life.

Also, the people over 30 that aren't in that "I don't have time for other people"-state are often those who struggle to find friends.

What? Hell no.

I'm advocating for a healthy, balanced diet as part of a healthy, balanced lifestyle. "Eat food, mostly plants, not too much", and cut out those simple sugars and processed foods. Simple as that.

No fads, just a basic long term lifestyle change that works, without buzzwords, without fancy diets, without expensive books or courses or gurus.

And without the risks associated with ketogenic diets:

https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S105913111...
I've done both keto and whole-foods-plant-based diets.

Both lose weight - but I feel a lot more energy on a starch based diet. Whole plant foods contain the right amount of fat (10%). Who cares about farts when I never get constipated. With a little exercise and a starch based diet I was able to lose 80lbs. When I started introducing fats and added refined sugars - the weight came back. The fat you eat is the fat you wear.

Long term ketosis is not optimal health.

Look at cheese consumption and it tracks national weight gain. We're taking in way more fat today than long ago.

http://www.pcrm.org/images/media/blog/cheese_consumption.jpg

But we're taking more calories overall - so people get to blame whatever they want.

Starches powered all civilizations up to the 20th century. Only when we started consuming lots of meat and purified sugars and white flour did we really gain weight.
That's the common explanation for why journals with a high Impact Factor have more retractions. Funders focus on "excellence", which is measured using the Impact Factor, which is higher when its articles are cited more, which happens more often if research is "novel" and spectacular, also known as not replicated and not in line with expectations, also known as more likely to be unreliable.
Would "the hum" not be noticed in a lot more areas if it were caused by jet engines?

Note that there is some variance in the volume of air traffic: weekend nights tend to be a lot slower than weeknights. Same for Christmas Day (and the night before and after). If "the hum" was caused by jet engines, this variance should be noticed too. The risk of misattribution is considerable, however, as industrial and other activities also tend to wind down during weekends and holidays.

The real joke is that the '32bit' version was written in parallel, and suppressed by IBM.

You can read more, and actually run them here:
https://www.pcjs.org/blog/2016/02/08/

It's a little touchy to get the 1987 version running ( https://www.pcjs.org/disks/pcx86/os2/misc/football/87058/ ), but there it is, OS/2 1.0 hacked up with 32bit extensions to support multiple v86 machines. Windows/386 was a thing in 1987, along with Xenix on the 386. OS/2 could have been there too but IBM was too busy trying to cover base with the 5170, the brain dead 286 machine that dragged down the entire industry.

Between delaying the 32bit version for years, they also wouldn't let Microsoft just port over Windows to run ontop of OS/2. And of course SAA had to be 180 degrees opposite of Windows out of spite.

It's really no surprise that once Windows 3.0 started to sell, NT OS/2 3.0 suddenly became Windows NT 3.1

It would be interesting if beyond the free access to services we get from companies selling our data, we also actually got payed. Maybe that could act as a bootstrapped first approximation of basic income. Get money by doing nothing, just selling your data and activities to ad machines or as machine learning training data. Just go out and exist in the world, act naturally, and if you're ok with your data being recorded and fed into a model, you'll be able to pay rent this month.

> If you can split "step 3" across two clock cycles, couldn't you effectively subdivide it into two steps that could run in parallel?

There is a difference between splitting "step 3" across two clock cycles and splitting "step 3" into two separate steps. The underlying assumption here is that "step 3" is indivisible. E.g. say "step 3" was memory access and the latency for that is 500 picoseconds, it's not like you can just split it into two steps and make it load faster.
It's intuitive, until it isn't. I can from the top of my head cite various autobahn crossings in Germany where you need to keep on the left to ultimately go right because you're going through an underpass: The A81 crossing in Heilbronn coming from Heidelberg, the crossing at Dreieck Funkturm in Berlin coming from Potsdam, ...

It's also often useful to know how many lanes can be used for a turn, etc, so you can switch lanes early.
Not always, but perhaps I misremember. It's usually printed on the road itself though, but you can't always see that because other cars are queued on top of it...

2. There is this recruiting problem where you have to decide which secretary to hire before having seen all of them. The optimal solution is to see the first 37% (1/e) and then hire the first that is better than the previously seen best.

Putting that into lifespan of ~75 ys and assuming we don't really start sampling until we are 15, we end up with an optimal stopping (= exploitation) age of 32.07.

Surprisingly close to the 30 mentioned.

Free is certainly nice, and I'd probably go back to self-signed for a few private subdomains, but you can get a paid cert for under $3/year. The only people really screwed would be those running a non-profit project that used many (sub)domains.
How can you say that? Almost every part of every organism functions simultaneously all the time. At the community scale, organisms cooperate and communicate continuously in real time. My eldest daughter is going through an ant obsession phase at the moment, their communities and how they coordinate hundreds of individuals simultaneously are amazing. Nature and natural selection are the ultimate optimizers - if there is any way for an organism or species to extract even the tiniest survival or reproductive advantage, nature ruthlessly optimises for it. Parallel function and behaviour is one of it's primary tools.
I met a nice person once that worked at an IBM location. He was in fantastic shape, he commuted to work 5 miles away—on foot! He ran both ways.

I barely qualified to run the Boston Marathon and had a good time running the race through my old college neighborhoods. This guy, who was a runner friend of a runner friend, was in a very different category, very fast. He trained on top of the weekly 50 miles of commuting.
Not really.

As I have grown older I realised that my university friends were mainly a bunch of snobby middle class boring people. They had a careers, while I explored life a fair bit more (and still manage to have a career after taking a few years out).

The guys who I have met through kayaking - an activity where we have quite literally saved each others lives on occasion - are far more interesting and fun and more real friendships.
I've organized my life around career and family. Forging relationships at work hasn't transcended employment in that I lose touch shortly after leaving an organization. I've found that professional communities, from executive mba program to various tech communities, as having the potential to create new relationships but it requires time and tending to, and so now I am in my late 30s affirming the challenges of making friends. Acquaintances, however, are far easier to achieve.
> it's certainly possible to have CS without programming.

You realise that the many disciplines of CS would not exist without the real life requirements of actual computers?

Indeed, Knuth has written on a tangential topic to this: http://www.paulgraham.com/knuth.html

Yes, CS builds upon some areas of Mathematics, such as Mathematical Logic, but you must remember that CS was born out of the wish to develop new algorithms for certain tasks, and to develop frameworks for expressing and formalizing properties of existing software algorithms.

Computer Science may not be practiced very heavily in the field, but many of the results in CS come directly from needs of the engineering field, and vice versa. Think Big O Notation, which attempts to find a theoretical solution to the practical problem of "Which of these two approaches is faster". Or bounds checking algorithms / Hindley-Milner type systems (e.g. Algorithm W, etc.), which are practical implementations of theoretical work, both of which were answers to the question "How can I find specific errors in this program code before they occur at runtime".

You could buy a 64 processor machine in 1990, but it wouldn’t have been a 64 core machine in the sense we’re talking about — a single socket system. This isn’t some trivial distinction either, as the whole memory architecture is very different indeed for the two scenarios.
So you broke LinkedIn terms of service, shared people’s photos without their consent, and asked mturk workers to identify those people’s race and gender?

Something about that really creeps me out. I don’t want someone looking at my photo to determine if I’m Asian or Latino, or male or female or whatever else, then shaming my employer based on the data.

What’s next, auto scanning of resumes to make sure the name sounds like a girl’s name? Requiring photos when applying to jobs to ensure you are “black enough?”

I don't think that CISC is a good choice when it comes to massive parallelism.

On the contrary, I think the increased code density (reduced fetch bandwidth --- very important for multiple cores) and greater semantic information of CISC instructions is crucial for parallelism. Large operations can be broken up into individually scheduled uops inside the core, and those uops can then be parallelised, without the equivalent of fetching all those uops from memory as might occur in a classic RISC.

In fact, even modern ARMs use this uop-based "instruction splitting" in their microarchitecture.
Lost me at "AMP haters"...
Yes, its a living language. But, it makes everyone's life just a little bit harder when you try to co-opt a very old word, with a very clear definition, for your latest fiat currency.

Don't be a dick to mathematicians around the world. Just say 'cryptocurrency'.
I've done a previous comment on HN asking someone for a link to the spec for the AMP cache, but there is none. How can you claim it's a open technology (pointing at Google, not Itaxpica or any others on HN) when there is no way (except reverse-engineer) to figure out how the cache works?
What they're trying to say is, if you work in a job you don't like and pace through work from one holiday to the next, you're basically missing out on life.

Did your mum take a break from paid work for raising you? I think this is a large (not sole) contributor to the effect (certainly in the past) - that women would often be raising children at home and naturally fall in to socialising amongst each other through their shared situation. Men, then will often focus on work to make up for not being at home, and to ensure a good household income -- which can lead to being too tired to socialise, which quickly leads to losing friends.

Would be interesting to see some stats to see if this narrative hypothesis is born out; do married/monogamously partnered men who become sole breadwinner lose more friends than those in other situations.
Yes it does, see https://www.dropbox.com/security

* Validate problems: Why * 5, don't reveal your ego "I'm building this...", get them to talk about the last time the problem occurred.

* Don't get married to a solution: There are 100's of ways to get from A-B. Come up with a bunch of "solutions" and note down the assumptions they are based on. Pick the one you feel aligns best with your vision of the future and go talk to the people you think have the problem
