This is strange. Maybe like a Windows phone? Where does it get those device metrics? < 2% makes me think it might just be that Androidx86 emulator project.
The Procrastination Equation
He calls that out though "even if you're only running perl scripts". It's not the cross-compilation that's a factor, it's wanting the environment to be as similar as possible.

Even if your code is Java bytecode, that's still running on a different build of the JVM, on a different build of the OS (possibly a different OS). There is opportunity for different errors to crop up. They might be rare, but they'll be surprising and costly when they happen exactly because of that.
.. develop remotely? I can, if I wish. I have an extremely high bandwidth link to servers. But there's still latency, and that makes all the difference. So in practice I always develop locally. I use Git and VNC and sshfs-mounted filesystems to access the remote, but my tools and editors are always local. I can build remotely, but not work remotely. And I still like to build locally all the same, during the actual development.
Now imagine some non x86 vendor adds a couple instructions that make Python code miraculously faster. Wouldn't you want that server?
I assumed the grandparent meant how do "you" track across your own properties..

For the likes of google and co, I wouldn't be surprised if we start seeing more ad companies requiring you to send some other PII via the api so they can turn a random tracking ID into an email address or whatever though.

The same user on a.com and b.com get different ID's, but a.com and b.com both send data to tracker.com which maps that ID to an email address and then tracker.com can easily combine 'em. Not sure it's legal to do so, when I was working in this space we were quite forbidden from mixing up tracking information from various properties
It's lower level than the JVM and more of an abstraction over hardware. So native libraries can be compiled directly into it, so everything can interop on top of Wasm.
> It's interesting to see how relatively rare these setups are among CEO's (in tech) and how 'normal' the setups of successful people really are.

I suspect that's because one's setup isn't really a big deal.

Saving a odd second or two because you're using a split mechanical ergodox or whatever dvorak keyboard with no window manager and scripts to automate the wazzoo out of everything adds up to... not very much at all unless you're doing very repetitive tasks where seconds count.

I mean, I think folks should just use whatever makes them happy, and it is interesting to see what people end up using like on usesthis (https://usesthis.com/). But really, people can be productive with almost anything.

The aesthetics of the video are cool, though, and the ideas are okay, though presented in an extremely patronising way.

A comment on the video put it nicely:

>I think Ave pranked us all. My eyes are twitching I'm so triggered by this;-) A great example of the kind of person you never want to work for. Someone who's utterly concerned with trivialities of HOW things are done instead of the reasons you're actually in business. Someone who can't see past their own way of negotiating the world, imposing their own way of doing things on their staff. I can assure you, being told what to do and how to do it are two different things. HR nonsense aside, I'd last 10 mins working for someone this short sighted. The end result is the goal. How you get there is irrelevant, beyond following some basic safety protocols. And cats should be at home.. litter boxes stink.

From Wikipedia: "On April 11, 2014, the Third Circuit issued an opinion vacating Auernheimer's conviction, on the basis that the venue in New Jersey was improper.[48][49] While the judges did not address the substantive question on the legality of the site access, they were skeptical of the original conviction, noting that no circumvention of passwords had occurred and that only publicly accessible information was obtained.[50] He was released from prison on April 11, 2014.[51]"

My (foreign layman's) take on it is that the lower court precedent still stands, as it was not formally overturned.
He did address the so-called 100-ton blue whale at the end:

> End result: cross-development is mainly done for platforms that are so weak as to make it pointless to develop on them. Nobody does native development in the embedded space. But whenever the target is powerful enough to support native development, there's a huge pressure to do it that way, because the cross-development model is so relatively painful.
Last time I checked, it was such an early port OpenJDK for AArch32 didn't even support a JIT yet.
The reason you're seeing wildly different ranges is because salary varies wildly.

Those same programmers would be better off just following Munger's advice and putting money into index funds. Doesn't require writing any code; all it takes is a few minutes to place an order.

I'm not exactly sure why the general sentiment here on HN discourages index funds. It's pretty jarring coming from /r/personalfinance and Bogleheads.

I wouldn't even go that far. It's a NY centric world view. The rest of us outside NY (especially those whom moved from there) regard it as an outdated and overhyped.
It'd be great if Sun had a Niagara box priced like a PC when that chip was first launched. I bet our software would be running much better on multicore machines today. Maybe languages such as Rust would have been created sooner.

I remember joking that writing code for the Xeon Phi would be useful because that was probably what a Core i15 would look like. Now we have Xeon Platinums with similar core/thread counts, but only on the very high end while 8-thread machines are mainstream with 12 being seemingly the next step.

On ARM we have something interesting with the asymmetric cores, something Intel has only hinted they plan to pursue. Some tasks can go to slower cores that sip power while others may be better suited to beefy cores that can do speculative execution on deep pipelines and that could heat a small house.
A single long metal rail would suffice, with a maglev acceleration system. Lack of atmosphere makes it easier too. Could probably manage up to 10g with a bit of scaling at the ends, although might be bad for people who'd been on the moon for a while.

Cargo could be made to go much, much faster.
They should have user-agent info on a per-request basis. That's not the same as tracked browser-to-customer association but will at least help.
> I don’t know of any x86 processors that can compete with the Arm processors that are in use, on power consumption to performance ratio

Not anymore, but there was a time when x86 was (barely) able to compete in that area and there were some x86-based smartphones and tablets. But it was too little too late: x86 already was a niche. Developers absolute had to support ARM, but x86 was optional, so many apps were not available for x86, and that was pretty much it for those devices.
Maybe I'm getting old, but was youtube always this annoying with ads? I had 2 clips just now, 2.5 minutes together, and none of them were marked as advertisement.

And even before that, the steamboat was invented here, the Manhattan project was called that because it was originally in Manhattan. Edison was over in Jersey and Tesla on Long Island. Republic had it's plant out on the island too where they built the LEM. IBM's Watson lab is just north of the city and Bell labs a bit west. New York has always been a tech hub but it wasn't as obvious since there was - and is - so much else going on.t
The easiest way I think is to quit and work as a contractor/freelancer. You can offer your services to your ex-employer and if you actually deliver value there shouldn't be problems to have remote work as a term in the contract. Otherwise you can look out for other customers who accept remote work.
Very unlikely. "My way or the highway" is ingrained in their corporate DNA. Can't think of an attitude less suited for server side work where optimization to custom workloads makes massive cost difference
You are making a mountain out of a molehill. We're on HN, not some Rust community space. Context is paramount. If saying, "portable SIMD is available on nightly Rust" or "portable SIMD is available as an experimental extension in Rust" feels better to you than "portable SIMD is available on unstable Rust," then go for it.

There's nothing binary about my position. My only point is to mitigate an expectation mismatch. People get pissed off when they're led to believe that a feature is baked and ready to use, when it actually isn't. Honestly, you've turned a simple correction into a ranty spiraling sub-thread. It's obnoxious.

You're also getting way too hung up on what stability means. "stability" in Rust, in the context of API availability, is a statement of intent and commitment, not a statement of how often a build will break. Of course, there may be a strong correlation between them!
I remember reading that some insects are more tolerant of radiation compared to humans.
Which is why it will never really be Silicon Valley. No risk, no reward. NY is too expensive for anyone to sit around and take risks, likewise, it will never see the real reward.

Yeah, I was going to say the same thing. Find a company that hires only remote and you're golden. Plenty of them out there. In my experience they're a good mixture of casual and results-oriented.

You can't really fake anything with a remote company. You don't get any points for showing up. At the same time, the amount of time-wasting activities created by people who are searching for 'participation rewards' is small or none.

Or, put another way, if you wanted to be treated like an adult, find a company that hires adults.

I realize the anti-Amazon movement was a limited (but loud) group of individuals, but if their level of influence has lasting power, NYC tech is in trouble.

Consider NYTimes' own article on the amazon exit. Half the people angry at Amazon were commenting that Amazon wasn't going to pay living wages (thinking that corporate HQ2 jobs are fulfillment jobs.) The other half were angry that Amazon was going to pay too much and would drive up rents. Which one is it? I don't know, but both sides banded together.

One major issue AOC had with Amazon was the fear that Amazon couldn't guarantee they would only be hiring local NYers -- since when did NYC become a country? Where could/couldnt workers come from -- would it be only from Queens? Would Brooklyn be OK? What if someone commuted from NJ? What if someone commuted down from the suburb? At what point does someone who moves to NYC become a NYer? This type of in-city protectionism was shocking and completely ignores how local economies work.
It doesnt refute your theory, it's just that your theory applies very specifically to HFT. Alpha generation in HFT is incredibly simple, and HFT analysis typically relies on very basic math: linear regression and recursive filters. HFT relies on execution far more than modeling to generate returns.

But HFT is inherently low capacity. You can't put a billion dollars on an order book and expect to make the same returns as you would with a thousand. That's the reason HFT firms are almost always proprietary trading firms...they don't need or want more capital.

A hedge fund, like Rentech, is typically on much higher timeframes because their size necessitates higher capacity strategies. This could mean holding periods of minutes for the million dollar funds to days for the billion dollar funds. As you get to higher and higher timeframes, your mathematics are going to need to be dramatically more sophisticated in order to beat the market. The math you are looking at in that quora link is about pairs trading which is where pairs of instruments mean revert over time. I would expect Rentech to be doing this type of trading over long timeframes and holding a trade for days to weeks.
No. It's unlikely that they'd be able to anyway - products (like, say, a Macbook Pro or ThinkPad) get targeted at developers. RISC-V is an instruction architecture, which gets used by a chip designer, which gets sold to a computer manufacturer, who does the actual marketing to end users, so they're about 4 links removed up the value chain.

What they should do is make RISC-V useful for computing at the edge - applying computation to areas where it's previously been infeasible (eg. smartwatches, wearables, RFID, drones, vehicles, etc). Developers go where the end users are. If a new end-user market opens up that suddenly needs a lot of software, developers will buy the same ISA that their customers are using. And then there will be strong pressure to run the other software that developers write (eg. servers, as Linus notes) on the same ISA to prevent cross-development.
To add with that the parent comment said, I do as well, in two ways:

- IE prompts me if I want to block cookies on a website, so unless I trust it, I block by default.

- I have an extension on Firefox that is "Cookie Autodelete", so I visit a site and unless I whitelist it, all cookies will be deleted when I leave.

I wondering if you are not seeing blocked cookie because of the second one. I'm not blocking it, but as soon as I leave it gets deleted, effectively doing the same thing.

Should you expect a pay cut if you transition from on-site to remote?

Someone proposed something like that to me recently, arguing that if the cost of living in my home city is less than in the office city then I shouldn't be paid as much. I'm thinking pay should be based on productivity and value to the company instead of value to me.
Fuel is the big one. A fully-loaded Space Shuttle is about 2 million kilograms; getting one to orbit and then refuelling it up there would cost several billion by your metric. This requires either finding watery asteroids or comets, or experimenting with metal-oxygen rocketry systems.
If "Hyperfiddle is after more of a vision where like, what would it take for my mom or my future kids to be programmers and yet not be professional software engineers." then I suggest you focus on drastically simplifying the vocabulary you use to explain what Hyperfiddle is.

For example:
"This is a pastebin like environment for learning Hyperfiddle.
Please namespace :idents with your username
Schema changes are allowed
To make a fiddle interactive, change tank.hyperfiddle.net to demo.hyperfiddle.net"

My mom no grok: pastebin, :idents, namespace as a verb, schema, "change" without a where to change.

Granted, this is a conversation between to engineers, so there's lexicon, but even listening, I get the sense that words get used without definition, or at least without a definition that speaker and listener share.

Yeah, heavy REMs are still expensive but there is really no reason to believe that they'll stay that way. New sites will be found, new extraction techniques will be tried and new processes developed and then the problem will go away. Sure, it could happen in space but it's so much easier to do here on earth that it might never be worth it to go to space for it.

You are funny. What you state isn't true for most of the world population currently, and certainly wasn't true through most of the mankind history for nearly every human that ever lived.

One of the reasons for this is that NYC is very livable with a tech salary.

I’ve never been in the Bay Area, but here you can make just above $100k and live comfortably with a <60 mins commute to work. I know that because that’s what I do.

You won’t be able to buy a house and having a kid without a spouse with a similar salary may be tough, but for a single person it lets you enjoy the city and actually be able to save money.

I don't see much support for your argument here. As I see it, the stance is NYC is a strong enough tech city to be able to say no to Amazon; to not need to bend to their every whim to bring them here.
That strikes me as a bad idea.

> It's amazing how everyone from Steve Jobs to Bill Gates to Linus Torvalds is labeled as "toxic"

To be clear, there is a difference between toxic people and toxic behaviors. The former, I think, doesn't exist. There are people who often engage in toxic behavior, and those who do rarely. Pointing out toxic behavior is the first step to correcting it. And correcting it is in fact the goal of community guidelines, in order to establish a more inclusive culture.

> Let passionate people on all sides have their say. I think it's more toxic to stifle passionate people.

Let's be clear about what "toxic" means, and not let it degenerate to "loud and I don't like it." Toxic means that it actively damages open discussion, drives people away, and kills off conversations. It is the same sense as a toxic substance; kills.

> And poisoning the well ( or any ad hominem derivatives ) doesn't stop discussion, it generally leads to more discussions

Ok this is manifestly untrue. Please read (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Poisoning_the_well). Poisoning the well is a form of preemptive insult to discourage opponents from taking a position by making it seem toxic. The fallacy is aptly named.

> what you are doing could be viewed as a form of shaming

Yep! I am happy to shame toxic behavior when it is clear.

> and virtue signaling

Maybe. I'd be happy to do it anonymously if you would prefer.

> And at the end of the day, if you don't like linus's style of communication, you don't have to read or listen to it.

This is the very definition of suppressing conversation: sending people away who don't feel like putting up with insults. It's counterproductive and unnecessary.

> I don't understand the mentality of "I don't like it so you should change".

This isn't some he-said she-said situation. I am pointing out direct unprovoked insults designed to stifle discussion and establish a particular point of view. As I have made it abundantly clear, I find this completely unnecessary and I pointed it out because I really think we can stop doing this if we're just consistent about it. We'll have better discussions with more diverse viewpoints, not just hotheads shouting at each other.
The high-quality of dubs and subs is one of the reasons I still have a Netflix subscription.

I live in Spain and my SO doesn't speak English - Netflix allows us to watch content dubbed in Spanish and equally there is a lot of natural Spanish language content that helps me continue to improve my Spanish.

I used to download movies/tv shows and dealing with subtitle synchronisation and accuracy was always a massive pain assuming you could even find them.

The care Netflix takes over foreign language content is a real value-add over their competitors and the ever-present alternative of piracy.
