Here's the last two companies to spout this line of garbage: Transmeta and SiByte. Remember them?

Your statement implies that the Intel engineers have left a lot of design on the table. I assure you, this hasn't been true for quite a long time (circa 1996, arguably, but certainly not since 2000--that's why both Transmeta and SiByte failed).

The simple answer to this is: graph the active area vs power consumed for all the chips of a particular technology node. Unless Intel is significantly below that line, you're not going to beat them by much.
Because there was no authentication earlier? And one would easily replicate a fake ration card/passport to steal?

Maybe ration is a system where adhaar should not be applied, or a system of quick appeal should be created. But how is relying on peice of papers like birth certificate/ration card/passport a better system for authentication and identification?

This is such a biased propaganda-ish statemet.

The top 20% pays more taxes because they make 80% of the money and own 80% of the assets in the country. That's how it's SUPPOSED to work.

As a PERCENTAGE of their income they pay much less that the middle and lower class.

The 40-hour thing was for assembly-line type work if I'm not mistaken.

It's entirely possible for construction-type work where specialized workers have to take turns (backhoe guy digs a hole, workers prep with hand tools, concrete is poured from cement mixer and then smoothed out with hand tools, lather, rinse, repeat), that there's enough built-in downtime / break time between steps that workers can handle longer shifts without reduced productivity.

Choose a startup where:

- People regularly take vacation time.

- They're happy to hear that you care about work/life balance and will not work more than 40 hours a week except in emergencies.

- You're not strongly invested in whether the company experiences long-term success.

- They have a moderately refined change control process (e.g. Scrum, but anything works as long as it collects all the work in one place to be prioritized and scheduled).

- You don't have to go on-call. (For many, this can be quite stressful.)

That's interesting that the 40 hour thing came from OR. Will have to look into that. I'm working on my MS in OR right now. I had always just thought that it was based on the undeniable fact that work just kind of sucks after 40 hours in a week.
Salmon head soup is probably my favourite soup. Just simmer a couple of salmon heads, some diced potatoes, some leeks, and onions up, add dill (fresh is best) and optionally some sour cream. When the potatoes have cooked through, remove the heads and pull the meat off them and add it back to the soup.

It's so tasty, but if you told people it was from salmon heads they'd turn their nose up at it. I've never understood (western) people's dislike for offal, I guess it's a poverty thing. At the end of the day, it all came from the same animal. Every time I tell people that pâté is made from livers, they get angry at me for ruining pâté, yet they were happy to eat it a moment ago.

Probabilistic Language Understanding: Intro to the Rational Speech Act Framework
Correct me if I'm wrong but assembly doesn't offer many more entries into this computation model either does it, especially when considering some non-standard extensions to C? So they've added a lot of processor features with no API.

Is there a reason speculative execution had to be added to the processor and not compilers? Would we have been better off if the true memory model was exposed to compilers?

Ask HN: Open Source Member management system?
I'm trying to run a membership based group and am weighing out member management systems.

In the cloud source world, I'm heavily weighing just using Wild Apricot, but would rather use OSS.

You’re assuming the only limit is resources, instead of resources being to only limit I am minimizing.

Sure, if we where willing to implant GPS trackers and require people to upload their daily movements that would cost resources, but people’s unwillingness to be tracked like that (outside of cellphones) has nothing to do with resources. Thus a willingness to spend more money would not allow for that kind of tracking or even what you are suggesting.

PS: Low millions of cameras is also insufficient, you need billions just to cover major cities and even then people would focus on low coverage areas. You really need to track people for hours or even days to get positive identification. That takes more than a few cameras in the right places as plot demands.

It's universal across organisations: you need people management skills to be a manager, while most other positions require skills specific to their domain such as being a good confidence artist to make sales, being a good logical abstract thinker to be a programmer, and so forth.

Generally speaking, promoting someone who has great technical competence into a soft skills position is a recipe for disaster: you lose both a good manger and a good technical specialist.

The fundamental flaw is perceiving management as a senior role, when management is actually a subservient role to the rest of the organisation.

Joking aside, today I learned what a "culture-bound syndrome" is.

I have had to relive the tedium of installing docker images on a coworkers machine. Can be more than a little infuriating when there is no obvious reason things that should be equal are not working. Especially when that is the goal of the system.

And agreed it is a people thing, mostly. I'll even go further and say it is the way things will be soon. I just don't think it is doing anyone favors to pretend previous solutions didn't solve things. Or to pretend that modern solutions solve everything that ever came before. There are plenty of problems to go around.
"This sentence has five words and this sentence has five words." In English "this" need not always be self referential, so I'll retort with "This sentence is imprecise".

The two "this"s could refer to two different things. However, the second this would normally become that to indicate comparison but grammatically the original is still sound [with notes]:

This sentence [indicates a sentence with five words in it] has five words and this sentence [indicates another sentence, also with five words in it] has five words.
His company was responsible for repairing the 10 freeway after the Northridge earthquake. They got a bonus for finishing early, but there were lots of stories of him personally harassing inspectors and pulling inspector flags (where re-work was supposed to be done).

I know that one section in particular that they repaired was done really shoddy -- there was giant lip between pavement sections that would make your car shudder like it hit a giant pothole. Everytime I drove over it I cursed their horrible work and was pissed that they earned a bonus for doing half-assed work.
Amusingly, I've seen all of those problems even in the docker world. It is a bit harder to get yourself into that spot, but for fun, just try and use a GPU on an installation of docker from about 3 years ago. :)

That said, I do agree. It is mostly shifting things around. And if this is where your pain point was, then you will likely like what containers can do for you.
Calling people with traditional ("outdated") social views as "common" is the same attitude as calling them "deplorable".

When Obamacare forced us to drop our healthcare and family doctor, when we were giving up on finding a job because the Obama administration was anti-business, we decided we didn't want any more of the Democratic planning. Choosing a successful business mogul who has had some experience with failure, who has rough edges, who rewards loyalty, and who appreciates "common" people, was only surprising to the uncommon people.
Fundamentally, though, a consumer in a developed economy with high degree of e-commerce has access to a credit card / PayPal / AliPay -like set of tools, that allow for

* cash back (and similar incentives like airline miles)

* transaction reversal

* consumer protection in case a purchased iPhone X arrives broken due to an unscrupulous seller

* custom perks, like extended warranties for consumer electronics, travel insurance or additional coverage for a rented vehicle

Even if you have a better UX, what are the incentives for consumer to switch away into BTC? A 2% discount compared to credit card payment?

The higher the item price, the stronger is the incentive to employ some consumer protection mechanisms.

I’ve found it to be immensely helpful in medical school. I only add cards after I understand a particular concept—read about a concept first, then add cards to make sure I retain it. The most popular decks on r/medicalschoolAnki have many thousands of premade cards; with additional cards for microbiology and pharmacology, people may have as many as 20K Anki cards by the time they take Step 1 (standardized national exam of basic medical knowledge) after 2 years of medical school.

With this approach, Anki is much more about retention than learning. Books and lectures are good for learning, but Anki is ideal for ensuring I can remember side effects of a particular heart medication months or years after cardiovascular lectures ended.

It’s certainly useful for passing tests too, but the main value is in retaining knowledge long after a particular test has been taken.

That was spectacular.

I visit the Burlington, Mass H Mart about once per month with my family. The experience walking the aisles and picking out dried seaweed, dried rice, frozen dumplings, kimchi, instant ramen, and various snacks is part of our kids' bicultural experience.

Thank you for sharing, @wallflower.
Wouldn't it be fair to say that third-party requests aren't automatically a problem? For example, mozilla.org sends third-party requests to their CDN at mozilla.net, but it's the same parent company, so not really a third-party in the privacy sense.
The only thing that creates an instance's community is the local time line. Everything else is federated. So what you're really asking for is to be able to easily view another instance's local timeline I guess. There's some work being done in that area, currently focused on merging multiple instances local timelines, but the same technical infrastructure could easily be used to be able to show another instances local time line in the frontend.
Simple, add a period after each statement: This sentence has five words. and. This sentence has five words. Fields medal please.

> Your statement implies that the Intel engineers have left a lot of design on the table.

The Mill folks would rather argue that Intel's problem is they aren't leaving things on the table—instead, they're shoving tons of extra machinery into their core designs while the Mill tries to avoid extremely power-hungry performance enhancing techniques like speculative out of order execution.

> graph the active area vs power consumed for all the chips of a particular technology node

Setting aside the difficulties of accounting for differences between different manufacturer's processes at the same node, this still isn't a very informative measure. Active areas of the chip don't all make the same contribution to performance. Speculative execution can light up a lot of silicon executing instructions that don't actually need to be executed.

I'm quite skeptical that the Mill guys will ever produce a core that beats Intel on raw performance, but they have plenty of convincing arguments for why their power consumption will be much lower, and I think it's plausible that they will be able to beat Intel on performance per watt for some workloads.
Would you say you have a specialization or are you more of a generalist?

Bigger orgs often tend to want specialists while early stage cos love generalists who can do a bit of everything.

Also, scale invites challenges that someone in companies of < 20 will not have encountered.

Hard to know without more specifics but sometimes comes down to the “different wars need different generals” mantra.
His problem has nothing to do with commas at all. my (@array1, @array2) = ...; will always assign all of the right side to the first array. This is just the way perl works with assigning lists to arrays. There's a few other ways you can do this instead.

# with array references
my ($arr_ref1, $arr_ref2) =
(index($str2, '-') != -1) ?
([split /-/,$str2], [split /;/, $str4]) :
([split /:/,$str2], [split /;/, $str4]);

The above will assign two array references to each scalar variable.

The other option is similar but only works in newer perls with a feature called "refaliasing" and "declared_refs", which are still considered experimental, but which are expected to be marked as stable in 5.30 (If my memory serves)

use feature qw/refaliasing declared_refs/;
my (\@arr1, \@arr2) =
(index($str2, '-') != -1) ?
([split /-/,$str2], [split /;/, $str4]) :
([split /:/,$str2], [split /;/, $str4]);

This takes the array references and assigns binds them to the arrays similar to what the author originally intended.

This is a result of the same problem that perl's default argument passing has with list flattening.

sub foo {
my (@a, @b) = @_; # load the arguments that were passed into the subroutine

...
}

foo(@data, @names);

That will result in both sets of values to be assigned to @a and nothing in @b, because @a ends up consuming everything.

Ref-aliasing with perl's prototypes will allow you to make this work like you might expect if you aren't experienced with perl's quirks but generally when you see this pattern you should be passing a reference to begin with and not trying to use the "magic" to hide that from the callers.

You can play around with these examples in an pastebin that allows running live perl code (server side), here https://perl.bot/p/gblj94

EDIT: fix the code slightly, and provide interactive pastebin.
Sure, Mastodon isn't a monolithic thing. But the massive influx of Mastodon users to the fediverse changed the culture to the point where I didn't see any reason to stick around.

I like the "make the internet weird again" stuff, revivals of Geocities and tilde clubs and so on. My impression of the Mastodon-era fediverse is that the culture is about as far as you can get from that - it was designed by people who thought Twitter wasn't sanitized enough.
Indeed! The Saudis were who Musk was referring to when he infamously tweeted “Funding secured”.
Let me see if I understand the problem.

alice register on instance "music"

alice wants to see what's up on instance "books"

Is the problem that the default behavior of Mastodon requires alice to register a new account on "books" just to see that instance's timeline?

General guidelines for spaced repetition tell you not to memorize things you don't understand anyway, and say that you only waste your time by doing so.

In general, it helps with indefinite retention. And if you don't do something often, or regularly, any permanent footholds offer some scaffolding to get back up to speed quicker the next time you need to do it.

As a problem approaches looking like learning a language, spaced repetition gets more useful. If you learn a second language, you will probably hit a plateau if you never try to memorize anything, because language has a large set of symbols, some infrequently used, but still critical in some situations.

It probably helps anywhere that "deliberate practice" and "memorization" almost overlap in how they work or in effectiveness, say, in memorizing program hot-keys.
Back then (to quote another comment here): "a quarter of all the bridges of any type built in the U.S. in the 1870's collapsed within ten years of their construction."

Metallurgy was primitive, and there were no x-rays available to find hidden cracks formed during the manufacturing process.
