Containers vs. Serverless: Which Should You Use, and When?
This century, it will not. We are very far from a technology capable of achieving what Starshot proposes. Accelerating the spacecraft to a fraction of the speed of light using a laser would require power densities that would instantanously turn all known materials to plasma. The best mirrors and coatings are many orders of magnitude too dark. The required laser and energy bank would be, for all intents and purposes, a comics megaweapon capable of blowing spacecrafts from orbit, or, with proper space reflectors, incinerate enemy installations anywhere on the globe in seconds.

The craft would be completely unable to brake so it will pass past the target planets in a matter of minutes. It's unclear what kind of sensors could be employed to detect anything and we certainly lack the technology to beam and receive back signals sent by a postage stamp craft 5 light years away. Let me rephrase that: we haven't got even a theoretical model of a system that would allow communication at such vast distances with milliwatt power sources.

Needless to say, nobody is seriously working on this, nor will they for many decades at least.

It could also be that you're committing some common flaws that make your job listings much less actionable than your competitors.

I'm not overly specialised or senior, but even at my level I find that when I'm actively looking, I get way more interest than I can possibly follow up on with the time I have available. So any mistakes you make will end up with your listing being filtered out.

If you're targetting people that receive 50 recruiter e-mails a day, things like not listing salary, overly long JDs, spewing a bunch of marketing bullshit in the JD, etc, will pretty much result in an instant pass. Other comments here have called OP out for those exact things, maybe GP is making the same mistakes?
Have you always been like that? When I was young, there was always more stuff that I wanted. Now as I approach 50, what I really want is more time to use the stuff that I bought.

the poor warding isn't as big of a handicap with robots as it would be with humans

for humans, wards give you extra time to react to enemy movements and arrange ganks, check runes, etc. but the robots don't really need the reaction time bonus, and the information bonus may not be very valuable if they arent proactive about pushing and ganking.
Ideally yes, likely, no. From the sparse details we do have it sounds like there were some fundamental disagreements between the board and CEO. The board may have seen firing the CEO as the path of least resistance. It seems harsh, but without extensive insider details, it's hard to know whether it was the right call.
Okay, I should have clarify the 'niche' thing 10 years ago was not GPU per se, but of course GPGPU, the GPU as a specialized coprocessor for general purpose computation, not restricted to graphics processing and output.
I agree with this, and I'm somebody who's actually relocated for jobs before. Also, I am European, and the HN culture is very different from engineering culture in Europe (not always a bad thing). So the candidates that are in your country, or may easily relocate, probably aren't on HN every month, even if they're fluent in English. If you're looking for less junior people, hire a headhunter or send a not-too-desperate email to the 15 smartest people in your college class begging them to pitch your job to their own contacts.

I definitely use who's hiring for broader market trends. The clarity of writing in the job postings is much better than the sanitized generic HR stuff from Indeed and Linkedin and the location and remote/visa status (salary when listed) gives a hint as to how hungry companies in various markets are for people.
I'm not Japanese but if Japanese culture is like Korean culture, there is subtle racism for foreigners but far from a crazy American level. More racism with darker shades of skin color.

If this is an example of collective Asian cultures and racism- I'm Korean-American but I'm not considered Korean in Korean culture. If anyone watched Crazy Rich Asians, it's exactly like that. You might have a Chinese face and speak Chinese, but you will never be Chinese or one of us.

> Most users are extremely "inefficient" by geek standards.

How is that inefficient? I use both interchangeably and I don't see how it's any less efficient than opening a new tab and then having to close it if it's not what you want, or having to close useless tabs if the first one is all you need... On my Macbook, I just swipe right and I'm back at the search results.

In a subject like politics, there isn't anywhere for 'the middle' to go discuss things rationally. By 'the middle' I mean people that may be affiliated with a party (or not) and aren't gung-ho about everything that party aligns with. That might actually be a neat name for it... get people to come together and see "the other side" from "the middle".

Okay I answered my own question about "to what end?" - to get people talking with each other online instead of shouting into echo chambers like FB, Twitter, Reddit, etc.

It would be neat to have a strongly moderated (no content trolls), strong account policy forum to go to.

The memory usage hasn’t been bad enough for me to notice it stealing resources from other apps that need it. I don’t think most users notice.

I’m not talking about you. It’s clear this is a big deal to you, and so I assume you don’t use any electron apps. I think that’s a gamble most companies would make, losing a small number of users, to have the potential to gain many more.

This is utter nonsense. How many users are making an informed decision here? How many understand what their data may be used for or how it may affect their insurance, employment, or housing prospects in the future?

There's a reason some contracts are not legal/enforceable (slavery for example).
I want to clarify that when you're writing frameworks you sometimes need to document even self-documenting code.

That's because some document generators will exclude functions that doesn't have document attached.
It's kind of funny because people don't even know what the microcode does. They're demanding that we don't benchmark any software running on their processors. Well, they insisted performance was important for decades but now they don't want people to measure it. What that means should be obvious. They suck.

OCaml is a very powerful language. I'm still discovering new features/patterns everyday. But coming from a background with C/Javascript, the syntax is definitely hard to understand. For this particular problem, I think ReasonML has done a very good job of introducing OCaml platform to a wider audience.

Shamelessly plug: I'm working sketch.sh [1] as a learning project for ReasonML. It's a interactive playground (like IPython/Jupyter) for OCaml and ReasonML. It's provide inline types and evaluated values. Give it a try if you're learning OCaml/ReasonML.

Intel's poor handling of the Meltdown fiasco and now this tomfoolery, means they have lost me as a customer forever.

Somewhat related, Google AMP is also destroying the ability for users to trust URLs. In fact it’s kind of the inverse problem; the URL bar says google.com when the user expects to be on another website. I wouldn’t be surprised if observing the AMP pattern subconsciously made users less suspicious of the trick in OP.

It’s also a bit rich to see all the outrage here and deranking by google, since hijacking/proxying to sites in search results is exactly what AMP does.

> ...and are not affected by speculative execution

AMD's chips definitely speculatively execute instructions. It's a common performance trick.

AMD's chips also definitely throw an exception at retirement (of course) for instructions that attempt to load a privileged address, just like Intel's chips do.

The difference is that when AMD's chips see a load instruction, the load isn't executed until it knows that the address isn't privileged. Intel's chips do execute the load (but then throw away the result when it realises the address was privileged).

The speculative part is for instructions that depend on the result of the load.
Well he says he doesn't know why, but that seems disingenuous. If they had said they don't have confidence in his abilities to take the company forward that would be a reason - he could disagree but he would absolutely know why. So either they genuinely didn't tell him - which indicates it's something they think would cause trouble, or he does know why but won't tell us.
As an aside, as someone who primarily uses imperative languages, I’ve found the proliferation of support for functional paradigms in Python and C++ (Fold expressions, reduce, transform, map, etc) has changed how I write code immensely.

I’m likely to try this out.

That depends on the calculation. Maybe there's a non-zero risk that China could remotely turn off their 5G network and including that in the calculation makes local sources a better value even when the dollar price is higher.

They did hire Keller, no? I wonder if AMD has an answer to AMD in the coming years. Not only CPU, GPU as well. Especially GPU. They missed the boat on AI, and now Nvidia is pushing RTRT left and right. That's seemingly two areas they still don't have an answer to. It's a big battlefront, and intel is only a step or two away from possibly bringing an answer to AMD. Not to mention whole laptop domination by intel, and mobile by ARM.

A long lifespan for men results in more reproductive success. Even one offspring from an old man is a success that the man who dies young doesn't have. This is a small factor but small can be enough.

There is also the factor that old people without children can help find food and defend the whole tribe thus ensuring better survival of their grandchildren.
Nope, FVEY was conducted very much with cooperation between the involved parties. We (Aus) have very close structural and cultural ties to the US, but China is approximately as foreign as it gets. The US may not be an insider per se, but in theory we share at least some core values.

(Not to say that I personally am ok with any of it, but from a societal perspective it makes a little sense.)

And I will try to convince them to include salary ranges. I have tried before but did not get permission.

Yes, I think throwing out the CEO of an established company with revenue is quite a bit different than throwing out the CEO of a pre-product startup however.

With a startup, you've invested in the founding team. If you throw them out... you've effectively thrown out a significant part of what you invested in. It also calls in to question your own judgement as an investor. And it reduces your standing in the eye of companies looking for investment.

Overall, unless something really really bad happens you don't want to throw out the founder...

If you just don't have confidence? You either let the investment go, or you try and pump it and get someone to buy you out in a subsequent round.

The only possibility I can see if that someone wants to buy Zoox, they made a really generous offer... but the Zoox CEO blocked the sale. Acquiring company is willing to take Zoox without the CEO to get Zoox out of the market, and acquire the team for their own projects...
Anecdote, companies received bailouts during the financial crisis for being “too big to fail.” Meanwhile, people and families were kicked out of their homes and forced into bankruptcy. Companies rebounded and increased profits long ago. Meanwhile, workers didn’t see a wage increase until very recently (last 3-6 months or so - IIRC). And the increase for people was not very large.
I updated the language in the post for clarity. However, I wasn't confused by the Redis post and I didn't for a second think this was an official Apache Foundation thing.

I find that even the premium and more expensive makes are being made just as cheaply

So I bought a cheap pair by TaoTronics who I’d never heard of before and they’re great! Why would anyone pay 10x as much for basically the same thing?
