Ask HN: Who uses custom versions of common tools in their build pipeline?
I'm going to participate in a debate on monolithic vs many smaller repositories.

One of my points is that many companies does not have a scale where investing heavily in custom tooling has a feasible ROI.

I know that Facebook builds and ships the very newest Mercurial with extensions.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gOVD-DrUpwQ&t=169s

Uber uses ( or has used ) a custom build of Docker to do some scrubbing of build-time secrets.

What other companies do you know of that uses custom built versions of common tools like Git? And for what purpose?

I look forward to seeing some cool examples of custom tooling.
32-bit ARM also having a problem doesn't mean it's not a problem.
If Germany Can't Quit Coal, Can Anyone Else?
Last week 604 BTC were traded using Localbitcoin Venezuela, a country where the typical monthly salary is far less than 5 US dollars. If that's not enough to convince you that Bitcoin has a good use-case, I don't know what will.
If the only issue is the kernel (which I don't know it is) ... I'm not that sure there is such a big problem. If it is essentially different architectures which requires all binaries to be compiled differently then the problem is much more dire.

I think your points in the video is important - or rather, should be important - but from the fragmentation of ARM it seems they are not as important to chip makers as they should be. However ARM's fragmentation seems to have not been a serious impediment to it's adoption.

I think though going forward the solution may be to target higher level machines (i.e. JVM). This obviously is not realistic for the kernel - but for software that most people want to run on RHEL it would most likely be fine.

In particular, these written part of the entrance exam usually cover multiple schools, which allow students to pass two or three written examination, whose result will examined by multiple schools.
Alumni Interview programs exist mainly to create a sense of continued involvement with the alma mater post-graduation so alumni will donate more. Their interview reports were rarely material to a decision.

A main reason for this is that alumni, like newly minted admission officers, have no clue how preposterously competitive the process is and how many monstrously academically qualified applicants there are. So they write rave reviews of smart kids who really aren't all that special in the context of the applicant pool.

> What? This is simply a lie. You know it.

I have personally heard people say things like this, particularly older women, some of them in my own family. This sort of attitude was even pretty commonly stated in the media only a few decades ago. Please retract that accusation of lying and apologise immediately.
It's possible to disable the stock browser. If you really need browsing capability for something, you can temporarily install it, or carry a tablet for "emergency" web use.

This is the only method I've found that can completely crush smartphone addiction. Re-enabling the browser and waiting to install updates seems to be a big enough hurdle to prevent any casual browsing.
Can you elaborate on why you think that way?

Lately I wanted to update my understanding of plant taxonomy to discover, that with the latest advancements (APG) kind of arbitrary, but neat taxonomy I've been taught in school is "officially" abandoned, and currently we don't seam have any (recognized) sufficiently simple to remember taxonomy at all. I wander what they teach in schools now.

No, they literally came out with a new, superscalar 64-bit CPU core and named it 68080.

It supports SIMD “AMMX” instructions as well. They invented additional instructions not found in the MC68060.

This! What have you got to lose? Worst case, you close down and get an engineering job, which is the same as if you went for aqui-hire - except that you miss the chance to build something great. Don't worry about the big guys, there is always enough space left in various niches. But do take a break first, and find some support somewhere (indiehackers?).

Ask HN: Recurring ideas/themes in Computer Science?
For now? Do you expect that to change?
Here's the ref[0], I lost both the tex source and pdf output in a double crash (backup and laptop basically simultaneously) and don't even have access to the full text anymore (oh the irony). My work on execution flow modelling wasn't referenced and is forever gone in that crash though. Bummer.

It's only a master of advanced studies (Diplôme d'Etudes Approfondies [1]) so it's way shorter than a doctoral thesis. Also, the thing is probably half-assed in some way, as there was some, dare I say, "lack of support" on challenging ideas which was highly non-motivational on getting a proper paper out (The moment I talked about leveraging AI/NN in component supervision I was outcast as a sci-fi author). It doesn't cover half of my work (had to cut it down to only the core part, enough to get the gist of things, but that's only the tip of the iceberg). And it's in French.

If you (or anyone else) can ever get the full text please forward it back to me so I can laugh at my arrogant young self!

I think we haven't started to graze the surface of what VR games could be. We need game developers to be more creative and explorative.
The kids winning the "at large" bids have 6-12 extracurriculars and standout in many of them OR they have 1-2 and are distinguished in them at the state or national level. So if you had a project that ate up all your time like that, we'd look to see if you'd won any sort of national or state recognition for it. If not then it wasn't going to help the cause.
For RVC the problem is everywhere. However I argue in the video that even just different kernels, bootloaders or out-of-tree drivers are a real problem when you're deploying servers at scale.

ARM has distinctly not been popular in the data center (despite years of work). That's for many reasons but one is surely the fragmentation of the platform.

Understandable, but also somewhat proportional? There's 250 years of US history vs thousands of years for many European countries. Of course you need more time to cover that.

On topic: Iran is an absolutely stunning country. Second to none with respect to its nature, people and history. What happened there with the Arab conquests (and especially since the Islamic Golden Age), their sad and unsuccessful struggles for independence, is a crying shame. But still one of the proudest, most beautiful regions of the world.

Legal fatherhood is determined by law. Biological fatherhood is determined by science/genetics. Also, adoption isn't a common practice. Adoptions happen, but they are rare.

Ideally, legal and biological fatherhood should be one and the same. That way you can find your genetic history for medical purposes and legal family tree for historical purposes. But tragically, in a few cases, legal and biological fathers are not the same.
The shakti effort was started in 2014. As a member of the group I can say that, then RVC was only seen at as optional extension. We got the tapeout opportunity an year ago. Later the riscv community has taken the decision to make RVC extension mandatory for distros without involving most of its committee members. Had we been told earlier would have given the support.
It’s been a while so I’m going from memory here.

We had about 14 million records and the full text search included 3 varchar 255 and a text that could get very long depending on the user. These were product auction listings.

Is it common to refer to ancient American civilizations as "US history"?

Here in Europe, US is understood to mean United States, the country (declaration of independence and all that jazz). America(s) is a separate concept.

I think that (know too much about Roman Empire) applies to me :). For Europe, it was the main "event" that defined the culture, religion and scholarship of the entire continent for 2000 years. Law, medicine and biology still use latin, Christianity continues to be the main religion in Europe. Apart from the north-east, all countries have some Roman history. After Rome, each country becomes more isolated. Of course it's the period/Empire that is the most interesting to read and learn about.
I’ve got one in my Amiga 500 and it’s crazy: bumps the speed up to around 234 MHz, runs in 1390 x 1024 x 32 through RTG SAGA (“Super AGA”) driver and a HDMI output, MicroSDHC reader onboard (plus 44-pin IDE), 64-bit superscalar MC68080 (not a typo), 128 MB memory + realtime clock + 1 MB CHIP. The newest core adds FPU support and they’re considering adding MMU support too. I’m running AmigaOS 3.9... on an Amiga 500.

Flashing of the FPGA circuitry with a new CPU core is done while the system is running, and they keep increasing the execution speed of the CPU with every update. The thing is nuts.

In theory, once MMU support is added, it should be possible to port illumos back to MC68000, since SunOS 4 used to run on that CPU years back. Solaris zones, DTrace and ZFS on Amiga hardware... now that’s what I’d call a hacking project.

This is only a problem in the USA. By contrast, in Britain, the Faster Payments Service (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Faster_Payments_Service) has provided transfers within a few minutes for more than 10 years now.

You manifestly do not need a "blockchain" to solve that problem.

Agreed and for similar reasons imo, to guard against admiting too many students with no ambition beyond a comfy middle class lifestyle.
Your choice of "the best example" of decentralised trust solving useful problems supports the original poster's contention that the blockchain industry is desperately trying to sell itself as the solution to problems it's badly suited to. Virtually nobody in the travel industry is excited about blockchain, still less as a GDS replacement.

Decentralisation and anonymity are useless to the travel industry and from the point of view of the industry players, public access to local copies of all their [current and historical] inventory and reservation data is an alarming bug, not a feature. What they actually want is for a buyer to be able to via an API (i) access the current price for each relevant item of inventory that's currently on sale from lots of providers (ii) update a single private canonical record belonging to the one [necessarily trusted] party they buy from (which may or may not affect the availability of inventory for future queries). The reason the systems are slow is because pricing and routing is incredibly complex and diverse, and the associated datasets are enormous (and often computationally expensive to process even without a layer of cryptographic crap on top). It's something of an understatement to say that turning that into thousands of local copies of an ever-growing blockchain which needs to be updated to account for a million reservations per minute is not going to be an improvement...
Which has nothing to do with how realistic graphics are.
Also, for terminals that support it: `Ctrl+S` to pause the display only (the command continues to run) and `Ctrl+Q` to unpause. Still not perfect... but it could help sometimes.
Ctrl+S does this in most terminal emulators (use Ctrl+Q to resume).
Having children is not a choice, it is a matter of survival. Below replacement fertility is a real problem with so far unknown results.

You do end up in a hole where "it is a choice but everyone who takes it is penalized" is the actual result.

If it is out beneficial, it is not a choice anyway or one only rich can afford. You said it yourself.

I know very little about this field - why would a model need to be distorted to give an anime look? (Also, what does perspective-dependent mean in this context?)
Sometimes I think people conflate freedom to mean that ones/or others actions/words are free from consequences now and forever more into the future… or want something without taking sufficient steps to insure something or at least be honest that one may not be completely free because of their lack of ability to insure agaisnt some downside.

With respect to technology, it seems like there's this expectation among some that one can be completely ignorant of the tools at the same time expecting such tools to be completely beholden to ones wishes.

Some people think clicking a few buttons gives them privacy… others think putting those who could exploit their privacy 6 feet under gives them privacy (sometimes with the backing of a nation state or several)… and in the real world, both of those solutions aren't 100% effective.

Fast-Path Loop Unrolling of Non-Counted Loops [pdf]
The next century of personal transportation will be autonomous electric cars for short distances, autonomous regional rail for medium within-density transport (e.g.. interborough or within-the-Bay-Area distances), autonomous electric aircraft for cross-density transport(e.g. New York to the Hamptons or Cupertino to Napa) and cheap windowless airplanes for long distance. The unique aspect of this vision is the reduced role for public transit outside intracity subway and regional commuter rail. Autonomous cars and planes seem to increase road efficiency in a manner that competes effectively with rail for density-crossing transport.
Autoscaler(https://github.com/kubernetes/autoscaler/tree/master/cluster...) is a good option too. Works incredibly well at automatically adding/removing nodes based on workload.

By 'academic performance' he is almost certainly including their ACT and SAT test scores, which serve essentially as standardized university entrance exams in the US. The problem is for schools like Harvard or Stanford, almost all the applicants have near-perfect scores, so they're not a good differentiator - people with lower scores will not apply, since they know they will not be accepted.
Please do not invent new meanings for words like enculturate. The right word is assimilate. Enculturation is an active process as opposed to a passive one which is not what actually happens.

The migration is mostly for economic reasons, and those are because businesses prefer centralized scale at all levels, including education.

Some of those features can be done today with any browser, such as spaces.

Just create a virtual desktop for each space.

It really does save a lot of time in the long run. The added benefits of virtual desktops is you can also recall more than just browser tabs.

> Actually, you can do jsx in vue.

Never said you could not. The difference is that React is way more powerful and easier when building complex applications with JSX.

With Vue. I have a functional component that renders out JSX templates 6 levels deep and other DOM elements on-demand. All from a single multi-dimensional array.

In terms of the code count and simplicity. You couldn't achieve the same result with Single File Components so JSX to the rescue. But I'm sure someone could with SFC, but it would be such an over-engineered mess, it would be counter intuitive.

It was seriously difficult compared to what React offers because the functionality for Vue just isn't there. But I am sure in time, the functionality will be there. Starting with Vue 2.6/2.6-next.
This is kind of what most of the EU did recently. Not only do we pay for plastic bags now but they also bio degrade.
Banks and financial institutions are also big consumers of blockchain tech. Jibrel is putting fiat, realestate, and other assets on chain, for example, which is convenient for ownership tracking, but banks can also make on-chain/off-chain arbitrage. So while the average consumer can gain benefits from some of these blockchain projects, adoption by big banks, governments, and institutions are a greater sign of things to come IMO.

Thanks for sharing those. The popup on hover says "Elevation: [...]" so I think you're right that they're approximating grade by using a height database. It could be OSM-based if enough contributors are supplying lists of (lat, lon, elev) GPS coordinates from journeys they take.

It's also very possible that they're using the public domain dataset from the Shuttle Radar Topography Mission (SRTM)[1] in 2000 -- probably with some cleaning to eliminate large spikes due to trees and buildings.

Your A1000 will be able to do up to 1390 x 1024 x 32 via RTG. Any software which already targets RTG should be able to make use of that immediately.

You’ll also have 128 MB of FAST RAM.

I’m given to understand that eventually it might be possible to do 1920 x 1280 x 32. We’ll have to wait and see, but every core update makes it better and better.
I suspect there are a significant amount of snap judgements being made, and I would be very surprised if they kept anyone safe. One of the many examples is that when I traveled a lot, I quickly noticed that if I have had a recent shave and have my hair cut short (no longer than to the end of the ear) I do not get picked out. If I have long hair or a goatee, I will get picked out for extra questioning (dogs in bags, bomb swabs, extra-strict questioning by border officials, regular bag search, etc) every time.
You prove you're the troll again.
> When big corporations are doing something you don’t like, you don’t use PR to fix it.

> No, the way to make corporations change their behaviour, is to just make a law about it.

But for example society in the UK and US (not sure where else) has basically just decided that plastic straws are not acceptable, and major corporations have made huge changes in a matter of months to remove them. That's much faster than implementing a law.
Maybe so that you can grab a few on the go, or eat small amounts and keep the rest fresh. At least this is how someone I used to know used super-wrapped stuff.
