Kudos to the author for being brave enough to detail these events. Academia and the process of science has enough blind spots without needing activists in the mix to add their own.

>“Several colleagues,” she wrote, had warned her that publication would provoke “extremely strong reactions” and there existed a “very real possibility that the right-wing media may pick this up and hype it internationally.”

It's as if these people had never heard of the Streisand Effect. What would have been a stuffy publication of no interest beyond a small circle of curious researchers is now a public salacious affair.

Go is maybe past peak hype, but it dominates in the cloud/containers space and is massively popular.

I don't like it, but this statement still seems odd.
curious if existing hardware can be upgraded later. i guess technically it might be feasable but vendors will try to make money and sell new hardware anyway. hoping for open router firmwares...
It's not any smaller. There are as many developers working in top banks as there are working in the big 4.

In London and NYC, there is a rather aggressive competition between web and finance and startups. Startups can't compete on anything and they get peanuts when it comes to employees.

It's actually the same people working everywhere. A typical office building has 10 000 seats, there is a role for you where you will be happy.
I mean. They did identify as a Libertarian. Isn't that one of the core philosophies of Libertarianism? That the "market will sort itself out"
DMARC feedback is only based on the MTA (Message Transport Agent) handling the mail. I don't have much experience with DMARC reports but Senders typically use it when they are first Setting up DMARC. It is up to the receiving MTA to send the inbox/spam result according to the RFC. I think that the reports are aggregated so single inboxes are not able to be detected. I don't think many people actually send / follow up on DMARC reports imo.

Neither one of you presented evidence of specific articles and insights that proved true, FWIW. I do think that calling a site with a vendor bias as equal to Infowars in any manner (impact or scale) is a huge accusation.
These instructions will be around for a long time, but their performance attributes will change in 5 minutes when Intel releases the next wave of processors.

I think given the current state of things it would be irresponsible for compilers to generate heavy instructions unless asked. Forget trying to be smart about it ... we already fail to be smart about things that are much simpler and more visible.

More interestingly, this may be what all CPU behavior looks like in 10 years, because if Intel has to resort to this kind of design now, why would hat change any time soon? Instead of worrying about primarily keeping the execution units full, people trying to write fast code may be primarily concerned with keeping them NOT full so that the chip doesn’t slow down. Which sounds crazy and hard to deal with.

ironic that bike sharing is supposed to help the environment by reducing the reliance on cars, but the stark reality in china is that the copy cat clones are causing massive competition through aggressive funding and trying to displace each other by means of being the company with the most reach i.e. most bikes. i am abhorred by the waste of resources on such a massive scale, backed by vc’s who are in it for money only, what happened to changing the world? i live in shanghai and i see these damn bikes encroach on every sidewalk, users park these damn things anywhere and everywhere they please, and there are a lot of mobike, ofo, etc just sitting there being unused, orange, yellow, green, blue, white. for companies’ whose premise is being green, the hypocrisy is too blatant, everyone’s just trying to get rich quick. one could argue that the number of cars would be increasing faster if not for these bike sharing services, which makes bike sharing the lesser of two evils, but come on, if just one bike company were to stand and say, enough of this crap, i don’t need mass coverage of a city with my bikes, i win by having principles and creating an innovative experience that separates me from my competitors, i would jump on that in a heartbeat!
ripgrep does everything you say about ag, and has much less buggy support for gitignore. It is also quite a bit faster for bigger workloads. For smaller work loads you might not notice a difference. However, ripgrep is good enough to even replace uses of grep where ag might otherwise behave sub-optimally.

Specifically, with this release, ag no longer has any major features that ripgrep doesn't have. Additionally, ripgrep gives you almost every flag found in GNU grep, and then some.

I think some of this is addressed in the README. :)

Yeah, their taxes are way too low.

This is not an uncommon argument. It's not that the free market never leads to monopolies - but almost all of the most recognizable monopolies either owe their business model to a distortion in the market directly caused by regulation, owe their continued long-term existence to a regulatory environment that makes it unusually hard for would-be competitors to even think about trying to fight them, or owe their particular reach and dominance to special advantages imposed from outside.

Monopolies, oligopolies, and cartels can (and would) certainly occur even in the mythical Ancapistan, but accidental and deliberate abuses of state power make them both more common, more stable, and worse than they would be otherwise.

I also use ag for years. Recently I tried to use rg and found it is even faster than ag. Few times I compared results and somehow ag skipped few files but rg found matches.

My reflexes are still to type ag but I already want to switch to rg.

Gotta give credit to Google here, regardless what you think about their intentions or competence. They moved the needle in a way that only a disruptor can move needles. (They didn't plan it that way ahead of time, you'll just have to trust me on that.)

Remember they've done this before. Usenet.

And for a successful success story, how about gmail? Just like no one remembers alta vista, lycos, etc (or myspace in more recent history), no one remembers that when gmail launched and offered 1GB of mail, that was absurd. The previous free tier was more like 5MB -- 3 orders of magnitude lower! Then when Yahoo finally came around (had to stop the bleeding) and also offered 1GB, gmail went unlimited!

They are going to write this exact same story in 10 years if electric cars take off (I don't think they will, but leave that aside) and Tesla is dead. Tesla's failure will be the industry's success.
The article specifically concerns 'cultish behaviour' in a uniquely American firm, and the author is specifically speaking from the perspective of a 'non American'.

My comment reflects observations I've made having living in many places around the world, speaking several languages immersing myself several different cultures and I think they speak directly to the nature of the article, more so than most of the comments on this thread which are a smidge colloquial side by HN standards.

Also this isn't an issue of 'nationalism', it's about culture, ironically those are two subjects North Americans tend to conflate.
Sharing is caring: code of conduct for using NHS data
Technical POV: 300Mbps might have been possible two years ago because there were fewer high bandwidth customers on your segment of the DOCSIS3 network. With increased channel bonding, it's now possible to do gigabit downstream over cable. For an example, Google "24x8 docsis3 modem". You may have something like an 8x4 modem. It is an intentionally oversubscribed shared access medium on the copper you're connected to, so it will only support a finite number of 300Mbps customers. It will support more 150Mbps customers on the same segment.

The upstream still has to be highly asymmetrical because they're allocating rf channels asymmetrically. The capacity of one segment of coax is still a great deal less than a GPON network, nevermind active Ethernet.
The female body is our only means of citizen production. Genetic and resource input is all that's required of the male. As such, the female mind is wired to instinctually minimize risk, so as to set the stage for a healthy womb in the time leading up to conception and for the 9 months following.

That's my two cents. Otherwise, I'm concerned why people are apparently getting funded to research these sorts of things.

Easiest might be that we provide a computer, internet, and can give him self-paced access to our course archives (normally reserved for student review).
The new one is probably an nvme attached directly to PCIe, and the other is probably connecting over SATA. These days, no two SSDs are the same.

Yeah, I have been superficially updating that post, but haven't yet for the latest release.

Updating the benchmarks is harder because of the analysis. I would need to redo almost all of it, which took weeks. The TL;DR though is that ripgrep is faster than it was then. Other tools like ag and grep have roughly remained the same.
Gogo: A Go to MIPS Compiler, Written in Go
> The problem here is that land is a scarce resource that can only be redeveloped once it is put back on the market.

But it is on the market. There are no regions where land is unavailable at any price. The price may be high, but if it is, all the more money to be made by subdividing it into twenty times as many housing units that each sell for most of the original price.

> In turn, something needs to be done to drive down the incentive to speculate on land prices.

That thing is to eliminate zoning regulations that prohibit high density construction.

> Such tools can range from rent control which makes landlordism unprofitable

Economists almost universally agree that rent control is a terrible idea.

What you end up with is ten apartment units that could be rebuilt into fifty condos, but the prerequisite to rent control functioning is that you can't kick out the tenants (and they will never want to leave), so that can never happen.

It also makes new construction in general less profitable by removing all the landlords from the purchasing market, and makes all non-rent-controlled apartments scarce and outrageously overpriced.

> land value and vacancy taxes return lost value from lack of properly developed land back to the public.

Vacancy taxes are a spectacular idea in theory. Rich people would probably find various ways to avoid them, but they seem to have almost no downside. Particularly if you have sensible exceptions like for property that was occupied for more than 24 of the last 36 months. I'm not sure why they don't exist in all urban areas.

But that only works on the vacant properties. Doesn't work when you have a bunch of occupied properties and the issue is the incumbents capturing the local government to keep rents high by preventing new construction.

> Lastly, there is a negative aspect to overbuilding housing, as it can be expensive to maintain real estate when people aren't actually using it.

This is a benefit. That cost has to be paid by the people owning but not using it, giving them the incentive to put it on the market (at any price they can get) so that someone who can use it will have it.
It's useful to consider Chesterton's Fence here. There's a reason why the norms of professional communication have developed into what we have today.
Yeah, definitely. My rule of thumb to judge if a place feels comfortable to me (or not): can I take a hacksaw out and change the place to make it better? If you can't take control over your environment, I believe it's psychologically limiting. Not that you need to do so, but you need the optionality of doing so. I've never worked in a space that was like this, though (only lived), so it seems like it could be a fun project to take on at some point.
Ask HN: Can we stop an extinction-level Asteroid?

b)Are we seriously prepared? How? Are there backup plans?

c)If so, will it be a multi-national effort or is it every nation for themselves?

I welcome all answers but will only count those scientifically familiar with the matter ;-)
Tesla really needs a Gwynne Shotwell (President and COO at SpaceX). She is a great counterbalance to Elon's reckless energy (and a _huge_ part of why SpaceX is a successful business).
Because the US govt can't file for most patents. The constitution says any IP developed by the US is in the public domain (there are secret patents but they may not survive a skeptical supreme court). The US govt wants American companies to own patents so the profits come to the US.

US developed products and research used to be free to everyone (the US govt funded BSD). The US govt stopped that when Japanese companies started bring new inventions to market that American companies didn't want to because it threatened it's current product line.

With tax shifting strategies and countries negotiating deep discounts while Americans pay much higher prices; it is difficult to justify the current practice now.

Being crazy subjectively seems like being gaslighted by everyone else. I think "gaslighting yourself" amounts to a figure of speech that means the same thing.

So to use cutting edge instructions you generally have to hand code them (either in intrinsics like Lemire did there or in asm)

OT: most developers have probably not been in network engineering for an ISP. If you've written anything about your experiences, or if you could be persuaded to, I believe that a lot of people on HN would be keenly interested (myself included).
CPU side channel attacks, speculative execution leaks, throttling and cache effects, might eventually benefit the ARM server camp.

Maybe instead of virtual machines we'll end up running (some) workloads on cheap, low power and isolated ARM CPUs, directly on bare metal without potentially leaky virtualization. Something like 4-16 GB of ECC RAM over 1-2 channels, quad core Cortex A73, A76 or similar.

(Some ARMv8 designs are actually not that far behind of x86 chips in scalar performance anymore. SIMD (vector integer/floating point) is another matter, but I guess it's not impossible to slap a few 256 or 512 bits wide SIMD units in ARM designs.)
alias ag="rg" is what I've just started doing. Both tools are great, but rg is just better and faster, while also not missing anything that ag has (at least from my own experience).
Thats not the power of unions. Thats the power of the state.
But I am suggesting that these developed drugs do become part of the public domain! Let the government develop it and let anyone who meets manufacturing standards manufacture it. It sucks when Japan does that to cars, but it would suck a lot less if Japan did that for lifesaving pharmaceuticals. In that case it’s not an investment in technology that could be used to strengthen the economy directly, but instead an investment in public health (which will of course benefit the economy indirectly)
Each of those direct reports only adds more demands on his time. The only way delegation would help is if he delegated tasks to his current direct reports.
Sure, everyone has a different number. For example, in the article you linked to, there is this metric: "the fully functioning managed employee costs about 2.7 times the base salary".
> For example, there are no "exclusivity agreements"--those have been illegal under federal law since 1994.

I’m not sure we’re talking about the same kinds of agreements; I’m not referring to agreements between providers and municipalities, but between providers and developers, large residential management companies, and HOA-type entities. I do not know whether those are illegal, but in my experience they are prevalent enough that it doesn’t seem to matter. They still get signed, and presumably at least one party believes such covenants are enforceable (I have no idea whether they are or not).

> If "industry lobbying power" was the problem, you'd expect Google would try to deploy fiber somewhere it had the leg-up lobbying-wise, like Seattle or San Francisco. It never did that. Under your theory, you have to assume that Comcast (based in Philadelphia) has more lobbying muscle in Google's own back yard than Google.

I would expect cities where incumbent ISPs’ political influence is weakest to already be benefiting from increased competition, and indeed, that seems to be the case.

I wouldn’t expect Google to prioritize cities that are already well served by multiple providers.
Ah. I recommend adding a link to that FAQ entry in the README, as it currently mentions in several places that it has optional PCRE support but has zero mention of the fact that this is (usually) slower.
A lot of the removed U.S. content, is usually accessible in other countries (and vice-versa in some cases). I find more blockbuster movies when I am in Europe can be accessed via
Netflix than in the U.S. (e.g. Black Hawk Down, House, Brooklyn 99, Lethal Weapon, Mad Max, Star Wars VII etc). There are a couple of search engines specific to find the right region.

Netflix from my understanding can pay less upfront for rights to well known movies outside the U.S. (https://flixed.io/newest-best-netflix-movies/).

The problem with Netflix from a non-U.S. region viewer is its lackluster offering of native language movies.
The cost of healthcare in the US is not only driven by pharma prices.
Reading from a nil slice and map feel consistent to me. If you read from a nil map you get the same result as reading a key that is not in a non-nil map (because that key is clearly not in the map because it's nil). Similarly, if you read from a nil slice you get the same result as reading an index that's not in the slice, an out of bounds access.
The person he was replying to was talking about cost to design the chip, which would imply employer costs. The error has to stop somewhere.
As a chronic migraine sufferer, I do have an ability to compartmentalize the pain, but only to an extent. There are also very hard constraints on my comfort. If I’m in pain there are any number of things that a pain free person could on average do that would spike the pain above the “freak out” point.

Stoicism is definitely something I practice, and migraines easily surpass that. Some I get are known as “suicide migraines”. In short, the monks pain ended with his life within moments, but chronic pain by definition lasts longer.
