Probably not using a Java VM, but a Minecraft-like game would be doable e.g. using GNU gcj (Java to native code). E.g. the PS2 (32MB RAM + 4MB VRAM, 294MHz R5900 2-way IoE w/ SIMD + 2 x VLIW VUs @294MHz, with massive fillrate capabilities) is more powerful than the PSP (32MB RAM -plus 32MB extra for disc cache in some models- + 2MB VRAM, 2 x R4000 1-way @133-333MHz 1-way IoE -main and aux-), and there is a Minecraft clone for it called "Lamecraft" [1] :-)

I find this to be true even just entering my 30s. I've made a few slips here and there, but it appears that there's a shift from mastering a skill to having decent domain knowledge for a specific tech.

So, you're not hired on how to solve a problem now, you're hired on how much you know their desired solution. This isn't engineering, you're not helping desig action, you're implementing it.

One of the huge failures in this sense is that tech has assumed priority over user value. Like your users give a shit about microservices, React, Vue, etc. etc. when you're using more of your runway on the infrastructure and not on the solution they want.

Most of this stuff has little value to most businesses. So if you push back you don't get hired; you have to find the places mature enough to understand why you would push back at all.

They have no choice. There is no technical way for Apple to monitor what data apps are sending out without doing something like MITM every connection which is a million times worse.

So they have to rely on a punishment model where they demand apps provide a privacy policy then kick them off the store if they fail to comply with it.
Not sure why you're trying to argue. OP was just explaining how it can happen as an emergent behavior rather than requiring explicit intent to discriminate against older people and then shared his/her strategy to fight it.

Then you were kind enough to just echo the initial part and call his/her attitude irrelevant. Please read more carefully and don't be so hostile to people offering their perspectives, particularly when they are in the very class of victims under discussion.
Ha! In DIGDUG/DIGDUG.S:

I'm guessing it never got tweaked.

I wonder what the world's oldest TODO comment is...
Or just get up earlier.
Many of the major app developers only support two OS versions back, eg iOS 11 and iOS 12 now. If you don't upgrade then you might stop getting updates for some apps.
To add to this, don't burn bridges, network, and make friends. It's hard winning alone.
If you fire the 20 younger engineers, you're also firing the people who will be the "10 older engineers" in a decade. You're killing the future.

But firing the 10 older engineers, you may be killing the present. Even with no bias, it's not easy to know what the right answer is.
I thought about this. Here is what I came up with.

If you upvote, and had to reply saying the same thing because you agree no new information is presented. Thus simply upvoting is needed.

But if you downvote, that means somebody has a differing opinion. Leaving it at a downvote only lets us know somebody disagrees and no new dialog can be had about what other ways something could be viewed.

That being said I think we mostly use the upvote and downvote feature on HN wrong but I could be wrong because I never really looked it up.

I think the intent is a upvote and downvote marks relevance, not agreement, but we often use it for agreement when upvoting. And downvotes seem to happen for both relevance and disagreements.

For example, replying to a post about what hosting provider is best with "I like chocolate ice cream", and "Rackspace is a good option" could both be downvoted for very difference reasons. One for being off topic, OR not liking chocolate ice cream" and the other for simply hating Rack Space.

So if you find you are downvoting something that has no comments that cover your settlement and the post is on topic then it would be helpful for many who may not share your sentiment if you explain why. I don't think that is too much to ask for.
I have to say that most bottlenecks are from lazy designs, not wimpy hardware. As a thought experiment, suppose parallel processing scaled easily without worrying about Amdahl's Law and similar bottlenecks. So then we put 128 cores into our computers. Software companies would eat up every single core eventually if there's no penalty for inefficient coding. They don't pay our electric bill, we do. It's kind of like freeways: the more you build, the more the traffic increases to fill them up again.

It is "nice" to be able to slap components together like magic legos and/or a Dagwood Sandwich rather than smartly tune and coordinate everything, but doing such is often computationally inefficient. The speed of light will probably put a hard upper limit on this practice that no clever language or architecture can work around to a notable degree.
Not that it is any less impressive, the title gave me the impression that it was about Tween frames.
What is something unsexy that you should do?
So recently I came upon a blog post that pointed at this fact: The web is filled with blog posts on life hacks, tips, techniques tools on all sorts of topics; yet we rarely see the humble craft of touch typing mentioned as a item on listicles.

This seemed astonishing since it's something I and the blog author use every day - but it has few proponents.

What other similar unsexy but useful tools - physical, cognitive exist?
Yes, I like the magical realism of murakami. However I also enjoy the Japanese cultural references. Maybe it is the gaijin in me, but I feel that the mystery of Japanese culture (as seen from the eyes of a westerner) is a good match for magical realism.

I’ve often heard of murakami described as similar to Philip K Dick. Though I like Dick, I don’t really see the relation. (Though the second season of amazons Man in the Hogh Castle seems very Murakami-esque to me)

I’ve read a lot of French and German existential ennui authors and don’t get the same feelings (some I’ve read in both English translation and original text).

I do get some similar feelings from some Hemingway works, though clearly not magical realism.

Do you have any magical realism authors you can suggest?
That captures a lot of my take on Itanium at the time: despite being "VLIW" it took on what at the time was a vast amount of CPU controller complexity without an obvious design win or clear high-performance compilation model. As an outsider, it felt like an extremum of Intel's flavor of design hubris.

It's interesting to compare the Itanium's approach to a VLIW contemporary from TI: the C6x VLIW DSP ISA. The C6x ISA took on very little controller complexity. Instead, it exposed a very clear operational and optimization model for the VLIW instruction blocks. An optimizing compiler did a decent first-step job at generating code. That was complemented by clear documentation of the optimization workflow, from compiler-stage iteration down to good guidance on the nuts and bolts of hand-optimizing. By comparison, IA64 was just ... a big head-scratching moment all around. I never got to work with C6x code professionally, but dang it looked like a blast to code and optimize for.
IBM should be sued. It is blatantly obvious what IBM did and I hope they they get their asses handed to them.
worse is not better but well we went with it anyway ( in both cases)
There is but how airlines and armies operate doesn't have a lot to do with how regular people operate--even those who are frequently coordinating and traveling across time zones.
Roe v Wade is not _that_ far out there. It explains state-level differences for when the decline began, for example. I'm not saying it's a slam dunk, but it's got some reasonable supporting evidence, enough to at least not be considered "out there".
Yet Apple makes money from apps that collect data, made by developers.
Yeah, as soon as I read that I assumed it was the EEE PC. The fact that it was $299 was the reason it sold so well. It wasn't a great machine, but it was pretty cool and good enough for a $299 laptop. Within the framework of the article, I'd argue that Asus nailed the "price first" idea and instead failed to predict just how popular a $299 laptop would be.
Welp, architectures don't really "expose" cache characteristics either in a first-order fashion; they also go along with the idea that it's all just "memory" like you say. Obviously you can query your cache characteristics but there's only so much you can do.

Some embedded systems had scratchpads and it is possible to 'wire down cache' on some architectures to similar effect. But it would be tricky in general at the language level.

I have a project half on the boil that's aiming to produce a language aimed at these kind of usages. I'm figuring that the supposed insult hurled at C ("structured assembly") isn't really an insult at all but that someone should actually do that. At the moment C, with its giant raft of Undefined Behavior, isn't really that language any more.
I agree with you regarding technical aspect, however the drawback of BitTorrent is widespread stigma related to piracy. That results in a lot of ISPs blocking the protocol.

IPFS is a new fresh brand not (yet) besmirched with piracy, however technically can serve it the same way.
Evolving Exact Decompilation [pdf]
The check list is a second example of a humble and effective tool - although I know it has got more coverage on this forum.
Yes, that is already what the P2P Reddit does, but without IPFS (although this is a good idea!), and using GUN as the "backend" (fully P2P/decentralized though), SEA for validation/security (no need for a central one), and DAM for pubsub (no flooding problems like in libp2p) which can do WebRTC.

I'm sure people would love to see an IPFS version of a bootloader, instead of HTTP, that is a cool idea. Have a repo for it?
My coworker who likes Murakami recommended Kawabata and Ishiguro, but I haven't had a chance to read either yet.
I would be impressed if a company had 100 employees today and planned for exponential headcount growth (say, 50% growth per annum). And had taken $440 million in funding. And had a product that wiped the floor with the competition.*

Yes, a pithier way of saying this is:

Software is a gas; it expands to fill its container - Nathan Myhrvold

Bad performance isn't really a software design problem; it's an economics problem (ditto for security). You could speed up the browser by 2x now, or reduce it's memory usage by 2x, and websites would be exactly as slow after a few months.

I'm not trying to be negative here, just stating an unfortunate systems dynamic.
Of course. It’s called an approximation—I’m sure you know this though. Being a pedant doesn’t lead to interesting and/or productive conversations.
That article goes into a long history of the interplay between state and federal authority in terms of time zones - most of it Indiana acting within the bounds set by congress or petitioning congress to give them exemptions.
That got made into a PS3 and then a PS4 game too.

The only people I know that want to get rid of timezones are technical people, often programmers.

Which is crazy to me, because we literally invented computers to solve the coordination issue with timezones. Getting rid of timezones just offloads the difficulty back to our brains.
So, you support communism?

Yep, Ive heard that. I only wish it were sarcasm. Questioning anything about capitalism and how it fails people is the ultimate taboo. Sure, you are allowed to grouse about it as lower class, but 'that was brought upon yourself'... It always is, in a system like ours.
I used GEOS, and later GEOS 128, to do a lot of my homework in high school. GeoWrite was much better than an other word processor I'd used in the 64 or 128, and it used proportional fonts rather than the printer's built-in monospaced font. Printing took forever, though.
Talk about serendipity: I finished reading Ryunosuke Akutagawa's story "The Hell Screen" just a couple of weeks ago! I also have two other short story collections (see below) by Japanese authors.

I have no knowledge of early 20th century (or current, except Murakami) Japanese literature; however, when I go to book sales (I particularly recommend the excellent one by Newberry Library) I look for foreign sort story collections. I also have to admit that my selections are also somewhat governed by the physical characteristics of the books: this Japanese short story collection, which was an old paperbacks, had great illustrative art.

Here are the story collections that I have:

1) Akutagawa (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ry%C5%ABnosuke_Akutagawa), Japanese Short Stories, translated by Takashi Kojima, beautifully illustrated by Masakazu Kuwata, Charles Tuttle Company, 1962. Akutagawa is mostly knows as the author of Rashomon, but all 10 of these stories are excellent. I mentioned "The Hell Screen" above, also want to mention "Otomi's Virginity". These stories are exercises in style .

2) Junichiro Tanizaki (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jun%27ichir%C5%8D_Tanizaki), Seven Japanese Tales, translated by Howard Hibbert, Berkley Publishing, 1963. Here, "The Tattoer" and " A Blind Man's Tale" were my favorites, really spellbinding stories.

3] Shusaku Endo (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sh%C5%ABsaku_End%C5%8D), Five by Endo, translated by Van Gessel, New Directions, 1994
This is excellent. I've currently got a hacked together static page for my personal site, which is fronted by CloudFlare, but forwards the actual request onto ipfs.io (which, in turn, serve the files -- ultimately -- from where I've pinned them on eternum). This will let me take a step out of that chain.
This is going to be terrible to program against

I think a lot of this stems from the way Software Development, as a practice, is evolving almost as quickly as Computer Science is (or at least there is a perception that it is evolving).

Bridges are built largely the same way as they were 100 years ago. Software built today looks different from software built 10 years ago. So when a hiring manager sees a software engineer with 25 years of experience, they can basically ignore the first 10-15 years as irrelevant.

Imagine someone who has spent the last 25 years learning everything there is to know about SQL Databases. They aren't going to do very well in a lot of environments today with NoSQL all over that have only been around en masse for ~10 years.

Maybe that hiring manager is wrong. Maybe he's not. The engineers with 5 years experience have the same keywords the hiring manager is looking for on their resume as the engineer with 25 years experience. Maybe they aren't really as adept, but since we seem to be unable to really get a good reliable measure on skill, the difference between those engineers looks very small on paper. The project is likely to turn out the same at the end of the day anyway.

So when you do the math at the end of the day, the more junior engineers look like a better deal (and they really might be).
> "Tough on crime" was always a dog whistle to signal to (most) voters that politicians were willing to lock up minorities for comparably minor crimes.

I think race in these discussions is a poor stand-in for the reality of the situation. It's convenient, because it's much more easily quantifiable than culture, and we in the US had laws calling out race until ~55 years ago. But, looking at today, cultural mores and attitudes are the more dominant factor.

Even liberal Minnesota has the highest (or one of) achievement gaps in education. Part is the high influx of immigrants, which introduces a lot of second-language barriers, but not all. See https://www.twincities.com/2017/08/18/15-years-later-mn-scho...

Looking at very rural, very white areas, you see very similar bad outcomes WRT education and crime. Some companies are willing to pay very good wages for workers, and are very short on staff, but cannot hire because so many of the candidates fail a drug test or won't take one. A teacher I know in rural Iowa has white children in kindergarten who know (and use) more swear words than most adults, and their parents (if they know more than one of them) have little interest in encouraging achievement in school. They'd rather blame the teacher for the child's bad behavior and grades.

Tough on crime was a misguided attempt to change the culture of drugs and violence. That culture is still glorified in popular music, and fueled by poverty. It destroys the potential for hope, and so leads to more hopelessness, which fuels the culture.

Yes, race plays a factor in all of this, but it's not the only factor, and I suspect (though know not where or even if it is possible to gather) that culture plays a far more significant role. I know several people who believe (or believed) in "Tough on Crime" and not one of them did so because of race, or to lock up minorities for minor crimes. They see families in their community torn apart by drugs and violence, drunk driving, and so on, and want it to stop.

Edit: I read / skimmed the article, and realized it mentioned growing segregation, but failed to mention an experiment run by Eden Prairie and Minneapolis, where students could voluntarily switch schools in an effort to de-segregate. The results were that those who took advantage of the switch were black students moving from suburban to urban schools, and minority white students in urban schools going out to the suburbs.
The idea that you should be able to shield or blind yourself to content is a flat out stupid one. Not to mention that the way Mastodon works kinda lends it self to the old issue of jerk forum admins. If an instance owner doesn't like what you say for any reason they boot you off. They can also share that information with other instances to block you from going to those instances as well. Sure, you could start your own or join an instance that doesn't do that kinda stuff, but then what's the point of federation?

Those are really the only two issues I have with Mastodon.
I think the question is whether or not the discriminating factor was age. Mass firing requires establishing some sort of discriminating criteria (unless you just fire at random), and some of those criteria might be correlated with age. That doesn't imply bias or discrimination against age. If the most heavily weighted criteria established for firing is based on salary, and salary is correlated with age, then people in some age groups may well be more likely to be fired than others.
Not sure what kind of dumb method this is. You can't possibly change a project's folder name just because of your need.

At least if it was by creating an empty file with that name.

Also iCloud Drive's synching has been an utter mess and I gave up after nothing syncs at random times.

Sorry, I still don't get it. The sun doesn't shift by an hour, it just shows itself for less time as we get into winter and more time as we get into summer. Why can't we just center our days so that noon is always when the sun is highest and be done with it? The shift makes no sense.
RSS reader is used mostly as a updater of the source/site who I care about. When I read, I most of time would still go to the site but RSS allows me to quickly get a summary if I'm interested to go to the page. This is to me the best use of RSS reader, is to keep in touch with the sources. Not much a reader per se.
I really liked Pinker's book, but that was imho one of the weaker sections. For one thing, it more or less says that violence dropped because of "cultural shifts", which is more or less a description of what happened, not an explanation.

It does seem to confirm that locality aware programming models are probably going to look like "big data" programming models (i.e. MapReduce and family).
There are only weeds if you think about anything long enough. Arguing from an existing moral or cultural framework is like fish debating the nature of water.

For example flipping the argument above: under a censorship regime, you can express anything as long as it doesn't threaten social stability such that the greater good is harmed by your words. Under a copyright regime you can't express a copyrighted idea, concept, or fact in any form at all.

To me the latter "can't express a copyrighted idea at all" seems a bit weak, but so does "can't express a censored idea at all", since in both cases you can express those ideas, you just pay the consequences.

Stepping back my original argument (maybe you consider it too far off into the weeds) is that it's not possible to bootstrap an argument for moral or cultural superiority without appealing to yet another framework like utilitarianism or divine right.
No but seriously...the sun is in zenith the same time all year. Summer vs winter time doesn't follow the sun.
You are asked every single OS update whether you want to enable telemetry or not.

I disagree. Shadowing can be very useful when transforming types that represent the same thing. For example, rebinding a variable to be immutable.

I wish domain knowledge was valued more in tech staff, but I've just found that's often not the case. I'm not entirely sure why, and my theories (okay, guesses) would take a while to explain.

Further, if people don't see the "latest" UI on their screen, they become afraid that the underlying technology is "behind" even if it technically satisfies a business goal. Books are judged by covers.
