These exist, but some are not open source. You can run discord on a vita if you wanted to.

Just because something is closed source, doesn't mean it's impossible to reverse engineer. The entire system is compiled into a javascript webpack, alongside just reading web requests/their documentation, doing some basic functionality in an alternative implementation is really easy.

This apparently breaks the terms of service, but they are only enforce this if you're an outlier for the number of API requests you send.

The most well known 3rd party client would be Ripcord, which I use for it's Slack features
Most interesting Thinkpad mods come from China [1][2]. Lenovo keeps changing the Thinkpad line so it resembles Apple machines more and more which is a sad development (focus on form, not function). According to some recent leaks [3] more machines will loose ethernet port and a hot-swappable battery in the next iteration. In that case hardcore fans will have to resort to mods.

The space industry already does this. In fact sometimes the same people and agencies are involved. It can take years of investigation to return to flight after a serious accident of unknown cause.
The rub is that many 20 person companies will never get to 70 people.

Having stagnated at a start up and grown a lot at a BigCo, I think easy career growth is really more about company growth than absolute company size. The scenario you outline still holds if the company grows from 1,000 to 2,000.
In most (all?) states in the US selling hunted game, such as deer or boar, is illegal.

Conflicted opinions on this. I very strongly support the right to hunt, and also find it vastly more humane for the animals. On top of this I also tend to take a libertarian slant on most things. However, in this specific case you have a textbook tragedy of the commons waiting to happen. The reason game is so widespread is specifically because of these laws. When it was legal to hunt and sell game meat/products we hunted numerous species far beyond sustainability.

Maybe one solution would be to offer limited vouchers that enable an individual hunter to market some fixed amount of game -- not all that different from how wild fishing/crabbing/etc is handled. But I think it's clear that without extremely judicious management here you'd likely see over-hunting rapidly take hold, and that's no good for hunter, animal, or society.
... and brown coal is the worst kind.
One problem I can see is that a lot people who philosophically might be early adopters of these sorts of products also tend to be in the Michael Pollan 'natural' food camp and on principle avoid heavily processed foods.
And this is why HN has the rules about "general news" it has.

Discussion of specific issues is interesting, but they're better discussed in extra threads instead of as speculations on a case nothing concrete is known about.
The answer is discipline.

That’s not the answer people generally like, but it is real and honest.

I wake up at the same time every day, have the same routine every day, and have the same commute most days. To an extent, software has made it possible to chuck my own bad habits in the bin and start anew, but it doesn’t have a say in how I spend my time.

I read Hacker News and comment here because I like to, but if I need to stop for any reason during the day, I’m losing nothing by doing so, and if something is worth reading, then it is worth writing down what I’ve read. To me this is just a part of my reading time that I’ve allocated for each day, and not even the largest share of it. Same with /r/AskHistorians or /r/DepthHub. If you treat each thing like it is just a book you haven’t stopped reading yet, then you know you can always come back to it and read some a bit more whenever you want to. There’s no guilt, no stress, it’s just another part of my daily routine. Just like my job is. Just like listening to podcasts is. Or going for a walk. Or drinking a cup of coffee. Or cooking my meals and eating. Or brushing my teeth.

You are the master of your own destiny. You don’t have to spend time in any way that you don’t choose to, so you might as well spend time taking care of yourself rather than trying to figure out how.

Social media might be the digital equivalent of crack, but there isn’t a gun to your head telling you to use it.

> I'm not speaking of the sensor, but rather the meat computer interpreting it.

I don't know what rock I've been living under, but that's the first time I've heard the brain referred to as a 'meat computer'. What an image! In any event, a quick search surprisingly didn't turn up any Wikipedia page, bit mostly pages (e.g. 1) denouncing the idea of the brain as a meat computer, associating it with the flailing concept of phrenology (designating regions of the brain as controllers of specific tasks).

I'm not a neuroscientist, but based on all of the pieces of evidence describing brain function I've consumed over the years, it seems obvious to me that the meaty neurons brain to appear to be 'computing'.

Your garden analogy is poor for several reasons.

the primary reason is that it is not remotely comparable to the theft of trade secrets in my example. If the gardener put their garden in a greenhouse and put a padlock on the door, then the scenario would be more comparable, but then it wouldn't make a lot of sense to say it should "obviously" be legal for someone to break in and take a sniff, because it's just a sniff, right?

Your parent/child analogy is poor because you are just describing an investment that doesn't pay off for any number of reasons, not that somebody stole the value from you. Perhaps more comparable would be if a parent raised a child until adulthood, at which point someone stole the young adult, brainwashed them to think they were the parents, and the child visited the fake parents in their old age.

That sounds far fetched, but it is far more comparable to the scenario I introduced of someone stealing a company's intellectual property and profiting off of it.

>The smaller the abstraction, the more complex the emergent behaviour is when you combine all the itty-bitty little abstractions together

That's not necessarily true. Abstractions with a small surface area (exposure to their 'outside world' - e.g. via function signatures) that are very deep (they hide a lot of complexity) make more complex behaviour much easier to manage.

When the surface area is high and the depth is low is when the overhead of the abstraction tends to exceed its use value.
I’m not finding those reasons to be as obvious as you, perhaps you could elaborate.
The option type never heap allocates on its own. There’s no reason to rely on compiler magic that doesn’t exist in the first place.
>Cheaper and Tasted Better

Sure, if you can make a Burger that tasted better than average Burger made with Real Angus USDA Choice, preserving all its protein and nutrition benefits, healthy while being cheaper. I am all for it.

( Lots of Meats Subs ( Not just Burgers ) tends to Add other ingredient making taste or looks better, but in reality aren't as healthy to consume as compared to Meat. I can see the Market force will drive Meats Sub to lower cost while being more like process, unhealthy type of food, which kind of defeat the purpose. )

This has added benefits to Supply Chain where Cattle has a long lead time to slaughter and don't adopt well to sudden demand. Compare to possibly mass manufacture plant based Meat Sub.

The problem is I have yet to taste any Meat Substitutes that is remotely close to being as good as meat. They are good I won't mind having them, but given the choice I would pick meat any day.

And all of them were comparatively pricy. If these Meat Subs aren't at least 30%+ cheaper while being as good or better tasting , it will remain in a niche for those non-veg people. I think the price to quality is something we won't see in the next 10 years. And getting people to changes its attitudes will take even longer than that.
Wait, are you saying that 10% is a safe withdrawal rate? There's been a ton of research on this, and most analyses come up with 3-4%.

I think what your parent is saying is that, since dynamic dispatch is created via a special kind of pointer in Rust (trait object), rather than embedding a vtable along with the data, Rust can dynamically dispatch to C structures where C++ can’t. Does that make any more sense? I can show some code later. I’m also not 100% sure that’s what your parent is saying.
This is you searching for ways to be offended.

The result of this crash is three known fatalities. When focusing on whether deliveries were disrupted, rather than the known loss of life, the appearance is one of heartlessness.

Amazon deliveries are surprisingly reliable when my expectation is to get a new lamp or even a shipment of toilet paper. But if my life relied on their never being delayed, I would already be dead about 5-10% of the time, and it doesn't even take a plane crash.

This is an incredible stance to be taking: weighing the unlikely potential death of someone relying on known unreliable delivery schedules against three confirmed casualties from a freak accident. You want to talk about callousness?
Then please, please suggest an alternative. The truth about being disabled is that you are very often forced to "rely" on services that are not reliable for your use case; but they're still all you have. Disabled people are put in the position of risk constantly - risks others are oblivious to or cheerfully force them into. Why is so amazing or frivolous on my part to think that Amazon might plan in advance to ensure good services in case of accident, whether on the road or in the air? #ableism #disabilitydenial
Bingo. This is the final optimization.
it’s not illegal to sell game meat per se, but the hoops you have to jump through are (probably intentionally) prohibitive.

it’s illegal to sell anything without a USDA stamp on it, and economy of scale means that it’s not profitable to have an inspected and cleared process and processing facilities just for game.

Other perfectly reasonable nations don’t do this—and in part due to the fact that deer are an invasive pest in New Zealand, you can buy wild game meat pies in gas stations for about 3 bucks there.

There is a ton of literal hatred for veganism and vegetarians in this world.

I think there is a ton of literal hatred for vegans and vegetarians, who tend to position themselves as morally superior to meat eaters and brag about how they are kinder and gentler than meat eaters, often while being openly cruel people. They are frequently seemingly oblivious to the glaring contradictions between their self image and their actual behavior.

I've known at least one person who used the label vegan while not actually being vegan. She was vegetarian and sometimes ate vegan, but calling herself vegan for the moral superiority points. She was a high-handed judgy person who was openly, consistently and persistently ugly to me when I was homeless and extremely ill.

(When I have remarked on that to vegetarians trying to lecture people about stuff, they are almost never sympathetic to how awful that was for me. Their default reaction boils down to a callous and narcissistic "Get over your crap, honey. #NotAllVegans. Your one time totally unimportant negative experience shouldn't be used to impugn my stellar character!")

Maybe if more people eat vegetarian burgers because, meh, climate change and clean eating for my own health and similar reasons without it being treated like some cult you need to join to save your soul, open hatred of meatless meals will go way down.
Nailed it. Assholes frame their cruelty as honesty.
I wrote the paper for technically savvy individuals who are not versed in abstract algebra. While writing the first 5 pages, I constantly asked myself: "Will my mom be able to follow what I'm saying?" Fortunately, after reading it, she said: "I get the general idea."

At page 5, the stream ring is defined as a product of the coefficient ring and the function ring and from there, the notation gets heavy and there was little I could do. Hopefully by building confidence in the reader up to page 5, they would have the patience to forge ahead because the true nuggets of value are in the latter parts of the article.

Interesting link, thank you. They mention that the debris is spread out over three miles of shallow water. I don't know anything about aviation, but it seems like this would suggest that the plane broke apart above ground.

Edge has always been extremely fast and competitive with other browser engines. It really shocked me when they deprecated it because in the last year of developing an app that only targets chrome and edge, I've never once had a bug that was edge-only. It seems that MS was never able to get out of the shadow of IE.
That is typically why planes crash. If one thing goes wrong, it can probably be handled. If everything goes wrong, the results can be disastrous.

I am not sure what happened in this case. The plane was losing 7000 feet per minute at the end. I am not sure if a 767 in a stall loses altitude that quickly, but if weight shifted aft then the wings certainly wouldn't be generating lift. But would it not self-correct after a while? I have no idea.

Because humans make typos that address correction can't always deal with. Address correction is a very inexact space. It even does the wrong thing fairly often, like dropping an apartment or suite that's needed, because it thinks it isn't needed.

Also, address correction doesn't know anything about people's names, business names, etc. Sometimes you need those to disambiguate.

It’s great thing to keep in mind but you make it sound like everything else in whole supply chain proces is perfect and this is the only thing that can go wrong.

All supply chain operations have many levels of risk attached to it and you always need to manage it.
Main risk you should make sure you don’t have to is to depend on shipment arriving on time. Plane crashing, fire in a delivery center, last mile truck crashing, heavy snow blocking roads, etc, etc. And that’s just shipping - there’s also risk with insurance company getting cofnused with you prescriptions, credit card getting denied, pharma company having production issues, etc, etc.
You have risks also with your local pharmacy, even if you aren’t disabled - again roads maybe closed, they may burn down, staff can catch some serious infection that will force closure, etc, etc

If you need critical meds, you need to make sure you always have enough of a buffer, as there’s many things that can always go wrong

> If you count shared memory scatter/gather, CPU SIMD already have both. Scatter very recently so, only appeared in AVX512. Gather is available for 5 years now, _mm256_i32gather_ps was introduced in AVX2, albeit it's not particularly fast.

You can say that again. Its still not very fast btw.

https://www.agner.org/optimize/instruction_tables.pdf

VPSCATTERDD ZMM-register is measured to be 17-clock cycles (!!!), while VPGATHERDD ZMM-register is 9-clock cycles. Gather/scatter on CPUs is very, very slow!

Its actually faster to gather/scatter through a for-loop than to actually use the VPGATHERDD or VPSCATTERDD instructions.

In contrast, Shared Memory on GPUs is a full crossbar on NVidia and AMD.

-------------

I think my details are getting a bit AMD specific. Lemme do a citation:

https://gpuopen.com/amd-gcn-assembly-cross-lane-operations/

> As a previous post briefly described, GCN3 includes two new instructions: ds_permute_b32 and ds_bpermute_b32 . They use LDS hardware to route data between the 64 lanes of a wavefront, but they don’t actually write to an LDS location.

The important tidbit is that the Load/Store units of AMD's GPU Core can support a gather/scatter to separate LDS memory banks at virtually no cost. This is a full crossbar that allows GPUs to swap lanes between SIMD registers in different lanes.

Intel CPUs do NOT have this feature, outside of vpshufb. I'm arguing that GPU Shared memory is of similar performance to vpshufb (a little bit slower, but still way faster than even a CPU's Gather/Scatter).

So yes, the "bpermute" and "permute" instructions on AMD are a full-crossbar and can execute within 2-clock cycles (if there are no bank conflicts). That's 64-dwords that can be shuffled around in just 2-clock cycles.

In contrast, Intel's Gather/scatter to L1 cache is 9-clocks or 17-clocks respectively.

-----------

The important thing here is to do a high-speed permute. The programmer can choose to use vpgatherdd, vpshufb, GPU permute, GPU bpermute, GPU LDS Memory, etc. etc. It doesn't matter for program correctness: it all does the same thing.

But GPUs have the highest-performance shuffle and permute operators. Even if you go through LDS Memory. In fact, the general permute operators of AMD GPUs just go through LDS memory, that's their underlying implementation!
There are well known ways to build reliable systems out of unreliable ones through the use of slack and redundancy.

If you need something to live, you don't wait until you have a 48 hour supply and then rely on two day delivery, you keep a two week or more supply so that if delivery fails you have plenty of time to realize this and source it from somewhere else before it becomes an emergency.

And if it does become an emergency, there are emergency services for that. Go to a hospital and they will have or fly in just about anything. This is almost certainly far more expensive than not running everything down to the wire to begin with, but at least you don't die.

Once again, your life isn't the same as others. Disabled people do die from taxis not arriving, messages not being passed on, etc - because nothing is set up for us, services are not backstopped because able people don't need the backstop. Society isn't built for us, so we have to take our chances all the time, with no failsafe being provided. In some cases, every day. The disabled rarely have the financial resources to be truly safe. Your comment is ableism at its finest.
