How would Human read a table though? I think table is mainly for the eyes, reading tables seems wasteful.

But you can select servers yourself. So I usually use the auto-selected server (sitting at my ISP or similar) to check local conditions such as is my cable modem or router/firewall doing fine or not. If I want to test "usable" bandwidth, I'll select a few servers in other, far-away cities like Amsterdam, Miami etc.

Conspiracy theory BS. MacBooks don't die after "2-3 years", and they retain much better resale value than Wintel laptops too.

That said, Apple could very well prioritise quiet over full-speed.

> JITs use intrinsics to work around inefficiency of generated code when the maintenance burden of the intrinsic is worth the performance boost, and the grand plan is to make a VM so terrible that you need a shitload of intrinsics for programs to terminate before the heat death of the universe?

Put it this way: the JVM is perhaps the most sophisticated JIT on the planet, maybe a million lines of code, the product of decades of programming research and billions of programmer-hours, and it still needs intrinsics to improve performance. So how about we skip the billions of programmer hours and just use lots of intrinsics?

I don't know if it's going to work, but it's interesting enough to be worth a try.
That’s a feature, not a bug. It was originally created in the context of the net neutrality debate. This allows you to see if your ISP is cheating you on Netflix bandwidth, supposedly in order to push their own media-on-demand product.

It was introduced after reports of ISPs doing just that, and it was Netflix’ way of hitting back.

In the current political and cultural climate, using Russian-themed names for things, even in cutesy and seemingly innocuous ways, is a bit unwise. There are plenty of other good names to choose from, while normalising Russian language and "culture" pretending that it isn't the culture of the aggressor, is dangerous.

And yet, MacBooks tend to be extremely reliable for many years.
I've noticed that the fans in my MacBook Pro kick in when I'm using Homebrew to compile a large software project, such as gcc, from source code. Can someone explain why this type of workload causes the CPU to overheat? Two theories of mine: (1) multiple threads are working all four cores very hard, and (2) the CPU isn't waiting around as much for main memory to respond.
This is pretty normal on laptops, my 6700HQ can go up to 95°C. These chips are rated for up to 100°C (TJunction).
> You wouldn't say "keep them at the bay" in a language used by a land-locked people.

If you mean to reference the expression “keep someone at bay” (no “the”) with the meaning of holding them back, that comes from “bay” as in “the howling bark of hounds” rather than “bay” as in “a partially enclosed body of water attached to a larger area”. Completely separate etymology (from old French «bay» and «baie», respectively, ending up in words that happen to be spelled the same in English.)

So, a fine idiom for a landlocked people, not so good for a people without dogs.
Nothing wrong with losing a little bit of money to make a lot of money. Even Pablo Escobar had to write off 10% of all his money due to rats eating it. I feel like these people are ok with giving Google/Apple a 30% cut if it means a platform is provided for them to make the other 70%
Ok, very clear. But fonts have unique names that are relevant to the font itself. Times New Roman is Times New Roman everywhere; if you don't have the font it can be substituted with another font of the "Times" family or maybe just a serif font.

For emojis it seems every big company makes its own thing? instead of using libraries made by professional design shops / foundries like for fonts; that's confusing.
ISPs aren't generally inclined to shape traffic to increase bandwidth for Netflix, though. Often they throttle it, so it's a good test to see if you'll get good performance doing something you likely care about bandwidth for (streaming Netflix).

> Amazon have nailed the transaction experience when you know exactly what you want, it's very slick from purchase to delivery.

> But the 'window shopping' experience is so poor, the interface doesn't seem to have changed that much for years, it's the same layout, the same endless ream of products.

Exactly my opinion. Even when you need a product from a certain product category and have a general idea of you want, I consider Amazon useless. Research and exploration is just abysmal with Amazon and the amount of subpar products doesn't help at all. I consider it a huge mistake to open the amazon marketplace anything and enyone, including third party sellers. If I that kind of shopping experience I'd browse eBay.

From Amazon I expect at least some degree of curation and the intention to sell only decent to exceptional products. Amazon should feature all the advantages of a specialized niche store with the difference that it's able to serve all of those niches.
If a bare-die CPU or GPU is not fully covered, the uncovered portions will rapidly become hot and the chip may die (especially if the thermal sensors are covered and cannot detect this). This is different from modern desktop processors where there is an IHS to help spread the heat around - there is a very real danger to insufficient paste application on a bare die. In contrast, since modern thermal pastes are non-conductive, there is no real downside to an enthusiastic application of paste except for making a mess, so you want to default to putting too much on rather than having some dumb intern kill a PC with an insufficient application. There is virtually no effect on thermals.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rAid5G30-WM

LM is conductive, so you need to be much more careful with the application, as over-application will kill the chip. It also can migrate over time, especially if you put a bit too much on, and is particularly unsuitable for laptops that are going to be moved around a lot.

Putting LM on a laptop is a gimmick, and one with fairly considerable risk to the hardware, not something that is suitable for mass production.

This sounds interesting: "Periodic cleanup. Mouthful allows for periodic cleanup of non-confirmed and soft-deleted comments" — I like that. So if the blog author goes for vacation, and people start posting weird things, then, when the blog author doesn't approve those comments, eventually they auto disappear? Until s/he is back and can review?

What if someone posts reply E, and someone else post F which is a reply to E. Then, E gets soft-deleted, and the author is tired and sees only F and approves F. Then what happens? With E? It appears as "hidden, click to show"? Or both E and F are gone?

You use it or you're one of the contributors / source code authors?

2) It being quiet as you expect a MBP to be

I switched from a MacBook Air to a similarly spec’ed (4260U vs 5200U) Thinkpad a couple of months ago, and noticed a vast performance difference when playing games. When playing games the processor gets up to 85C, but doesn’t throttle. It’s either that or Linux is a lot better for gaming than macOS.
Matching cheaters to cheaters is brilliant and should be THE non-intrusive industry standard!
Non-compliance issues aside, here's why I'm not convinced that blindly agreeing is a good policy:

Imagine that, by clicking "I accept", I agree to get my browser's fingerprint stored in their servers to identify me. For the sake of GDPR compliance, I can go back to their site at any time, revoke this consent, and they would actually forget me (crazy, I know).

The problem is: since I have already agreed to the tracking, I won't see the "Accept" button anymore. Sure, I can go there and revoke my consent, but why would I? I don't even remember going there the first time.

Agreeing to something I don't _really_ agree to is a bad idea overall. A better alternative, I think, is to start accessing cached versions of websites.
Baseless name calling one of the big superpowers "the aggressor" is perhaps even more dangerous, and unwise to say the least. But let's not get political, it's a freaking text editor.
Nitpick: Those are Unicode characters, not UTF characters. UTF is just a family of encoding schemes for Unicode codepoints.

(Bonus nitpick: Also, those are not characters, they're glyphs. The term "character" is so indefinable that the Unicode standard, to my knowledge, never uses the term.)
This carries over into the real world as well.

Some people try really hard to show a toothy smile and they end up looking like the Apple or Facebook smiling emoji.

Sorry to pull that quote out of context, but this is just peak HN. It's beautiful.

> Psychedelics have been available and used throughout history with few problems in ritual settings

So we should only allow them in ritual settings then?

> The real reason psychedelics were banned in the US is to have a reason to jail politically inconvenient people in Vietnam era and bunch of the world has followed the leader.

I actually agree with that point. However, I don't see how from any of this follows that you should simply allow them without any precautions or any restrictions. Alcohol, tobacco, even coffee is regulated.

As an analogy, we deem it useful that you can purchase a car and drive around with it. Nevertheless, we demand that you get a driver's license first, because there is enough evidence that driving is an often highly counterintuitive activity that can lead to serious damage unless you had proper training first. There is also evidence that you need certain prerequisites even with that training, which is the reason we e.g. wouldn't let a 10 year old drive at all.

THINGS DEVELOPERS “Love” HEARING FROM NON-TECHNICAL MANAGERS
Hi Brian, thanks for open-sourcing Backblaze's JavaReedSolomon, which is really well-written. A few months ago I ran into an issue with Reed Solomon coding throughput not saturating the write throughput of 16 drives, and wrote a new Reed Solomon module based on Cauchy matrices: https://github.com/ronomon/reed-solomon

The Cauchy matrices remove the need for a table lookup to do the Galois multiply, replacing it with pure XOR. Together with other optimizations, this gives nearly 3x-5x more coding throughput for the same (17,3) parameters, assuming you're still using your open-sourced JavaReedSolomon in production. I don't know if Reed Solomon coding throughput is a factor in your rebuild times?
Pretty much sums it up. Anyways there's better directions for research now like HCCI that should bring petrol engines efficiencies up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homogeneous_charge_compression...

> Essentially, this kind of speed test , rather than what they're really providing.

I get half the download bandwidth on Fast.com that I get using th FCC Speed Test app, so I don't think the former “only really tells you what the maximum bandwidth your ISP is able to provide you is”.
Isn't the youtube CPM like $5? you'd need 10M views for $50k, which seems unrealistic.
Not the op, but I need 32 GB for:-

- running virtual machines.

- running MemSQL which requires a minimum of 8GB to be available.

- running video editing software.

There are probably other reasons, but those are the ones off the top of my head.
Is Netflix sending the video data from Fast.com, though?

If not then they could very well be fudging the numbers for Fast.com and not Netflix proper.

It may not be common or even legal in the US (I really don't know), but in the UK traffic shaping is commonplace, even in instances where the package has been described as "Unlimited".
The chip works fine. Apple used an insufficient cooling solution, Dell XPS laptops with a better cooling solution are doing fine.
As a counterpoint, I know multiple people who became insane after trying LSD.
I'd mentioned this in another comment, but I'm not sure that shaping traffic (or not) for the speed-test would mean they're treating streams the same way, especially if it's a different TLD.
In what way are they anything other than speculative?

Drug laws are certainly not evidence based (in most places). They are based on ideologically driven speculation about the imagined consequences of legalisation.
And you would be wrong there. There are mobile K SKUs that can be overclocked.
Uhm... Same situation with alcohol or tobacco. It is very easy to find young adults or desperate people that will more than gladly buy you some for a share or some cash.

> 'Legalizing hard drugs' is kind of a theoretical issue because I think it's hard for us to contemplate what actual widespread use would look like, and also hard for us to consider how regular people behave.

If we keep our focus on psychedelics, as per the article, then: no, not really. The Netherlands have had OTC, no-questions-asked, fully commoditised psychedelics available for decades.

Some got put back on the ban list in dec 2008, others still available as before. This should offer plenty actual, real world, practical data.

No need to guess or contemplate!

MiniTool Assists Worldwide Companies in Achieving Compliance Under GDPR
The General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) has superseded the Data Protection Directive and came into effect on 25 May 2018 in the European Union (EU). This regulation aims to protect the privacy of EU residents.Companies who fail to follow the GDPR have to pay a fine of up to €20 million or 4% of their global revenue, whichever is higher. To avoid this massive fine, MiniTool supplies companies with data protection solutions with its self-developed data protection products, including MiniTool Partition Wizard, MiniTool Power Data Recovery, and MiniTool ShadowMaker.
