You're right over the long-term, but all market advantages disappear over the long-term. The fact that in 50 years software development will be a commodity skill that anybody can do from anywhere does nothing to ease a labor shortage today. And the remote worker who can competently ship software on demand doesn't care that his kids won't be able to do the same; he can make bank now and use the excess to set them up for the careers that'll be in high demand tomorrow.
Most people seriously interested in this topic should already be familiar with the "insulin index" paper (was reposted to HN within the last couple weeks).

www.timetoplayfair.com?! I have no sympathy for Spotify WRT "playing fair". Match Apple, or even better Google when it comes to paying artists, then we'll talk. They even discuss, as market leader, offering predatory pricing! The rest, as evidenced by Apple's response is seemingly misrepresenting the facts. To be fair, Spotify's marketing team have taken this straight out of the Steven P. Jobs play book; pick a fight.

Personally, I use Amazon Music because I get it as part of Amazon Prime. It has most of the music I want to listen to, but not all. I was considering Spotify, but with nonsense like this, this is one potential customer that they have lost.

The thing is... heliostats are expensive, susceptible to breakdown, and require maintenance. And panels are getting cheaper and cheaper.

If you’re dealing with “free” rooftop mounting space, it’s cheaper to just throw more panels at the problem.

And you’ll get better peak power with more panels.

Or get a manually adjustable setup and manually adjust them for each season.
Only cows that have been pregnant produce milk. Cows are made pregnant to increase the duration of milk production, and to produce more cows for dairy or meat. (Edited for clarity)

The process of artificial insemination involves sticking a rod/hand with bull semen into their vaginas. Just do a quick search for this and you can see videos of how artificial insemination works. There’s also a process of hormone injections to ensure cows sync up for more efficient AI.

Usually most farmers justify this by talking about how it’s safer than letting a bull fuck the cow while it’s confined to a pen (how it was done in a bygone era).

Oh, and if you’re wondering about how they get the bull semen they have them fuck artificial vaginas, or masturbate them if that’s not working out.

She forgot to mention the enormous pay check Weinstein lawyer receives for representing him.

Her argument is weak. Her argument is that lawyers have a right to represent any client and should not face social stigma for doing so because these lawyers are just doing their job. What she doesn’t understand is that people also have a right to protest. Her complaining just makes her sound whiny and entitled. And her bringing race into this to help her argument is worst. Him, being the first African American dean, does not matter. Being disliked for representing wrongdoers is literally part of the job - whether he is guilty or not. It’s called having a thick skin.

The United States does not, and never has, recognized the International Criminal Court. To the point that they will not bat an eye and declare war on the Netherlands in case a American soldier will be held in jail in The Hague for questioning and appearing before the Court.

And this actually is nothing new and predates the Trump presidency FOR YEARS (17 to be exact):

"Trust me" isn't exactly a convincing argument...

I agree with your second sentiment (although I wouldn't generalize to "scumbags"), but there are a lot of people out there doing jobs that are extremely unpleasant, for far less money than prostitution can make.

If you don't have to fear your customer because the legal system has your back (making you independent of pimps and the like), prostitution is a possible way to make a significant amount of money - on your own conditions, in your own time, without the fear of being fired and all the other stuff a normal workplace imposes.
isn't emotion basically system1 in thinking fast and slow? optimized for making snap decisions yes but far from being an illegitimate source of information. there are a lot of examples where system1 gives you the wrong answer, but IIRC there are also plenty of examples where system1 is exactly right especially when there is time pressure. the book "Blink" is basically its antithesis offering examples where trusting system1 leads to better outcomes than overthinking it with system2.

Oh yeah, there are plenty of reasons to prefer Rust over C++. I think it's also reasonable to favor Rust's "exclusivity of mutable references" default as a matter of personal preference. I'm just not sure the formal or technical argument has yet been made that universally applying that restriction is necessarily the "better" default overall.
No worries, I was just curious if you read that somewhere.

There's no such thing as a remote pre-commit hook. Do you mean a pre-push hook? That's a different story, but even then what you really want is to just deny access to shared branches, except to your CI system, which will run your checks before allowing you to merge.

Solar panels are not systematically recycled. Solar panel production produces quite a bit of waste and much of it is not handle appropriately in factories in China.

For wind its less so, you just have gigantic towers everywhere that will eventually be ruins. And also you have to build a lot of gigantic wind turbines to match the output of a single nuclear planet.

I am comparing end to end. A nuclear plant is one big building in one place and most of that is just common building materials, minimal amount of mining for the uranium. And if we eventually actually build new modern nuclear plants it would reduce the size of the plant by quite a bit as well. Nuclear has more upside in terms of efficiency (currently only 2% efficient) and minimizing resource usage.

Pretty much every end to end analysis agrees that nuclear has the least amount of resource and land usage, and it has the least amount of uncontrolled waste.
Even then, the comments regarding "freestanding" C runtimes are the same. Targeting bare metal puts the standard library squarely out of scope of the standard.
I wasn't a few government-owned building so much as 25% of the housing stock, around a hundred thousand apartments, which were actually owned by the city at the time. (And that is just the publicly owned housing). As far as I know it wasn't subsidized as such, but paid for by profit from rents and rent increases (these are essentially rent controlled apartments).
I'm not sure why a single incident of the police failing to enforce the laws over 2 decades ago during the notoriously racist Thatcher era is relevant to a discussion of incitement as it is enforced today?
I've never understood a hygiene factor of bidets, do you basically wipe your fecal matter with your hands + water? At my office I notice a lot of people don't even wash their hands after they used a toilet, I can't imagine how bad for other's in the office it would be if we had bidets - if they cleaned their butt with their hands instead of a toilet paper and then go to kitchen... We share kitchen afterall with these people...Maybe I don't understand how bidets work?

As it should be. It's not appropriate to unilaterally exert power over people who have not consented to it through the establishment of a constitution, legislative controls, and shared ideals that hold that power as authoritative. The idea that anyone would just come into our country and demand that we consent to their understanding of justice, rights, etc. is absurd.

I was just sharing it in that people for various reasons may end up shouting while trying to do their best, then again people may also end up shouting because they are too stressed by situations which is also a problem, but they should be helped then.

Part of the point Apple is trying to make is that the AppStore helped Spotify grow their business and prove the business model. Spotify really took of when they started the beta of the iOS App. In Sweden, and then rolling out to the countries in EU, where iPhones (at least at the time) had a dominant market share.

I still find it true that a lot of the early iOS users still have their premium subscription. And I wouldn't be surprised if iOS is dominant in the premium users of Spotify today.

I found the response by Apple good and I think they've helped Spotify grow a lot. Suing Apple feels a bit like they are shooting themselves in the foot.

The question then becomes how to acquire the money for the bailout. You can’t just ask for money or acquire funding through buyout. Tax increases or bonds are really the only sources of money, and they require voter approvals. Costs can be reduced by cutting services or through bankruptcy, both of which bring their own side effects by reducing the appeal of the city or county or by making future debt more expensive.

Test failures are all well and good, but don't always match reality. In this case, the design of the power infrastructure was solid, and their plans include running monthly generator testing and quarterly "disconnect from the grid" testing. But apparently something about this failure of both of the incoming power lines caused failures in multiple UPSes. Still waiting on the after-action review.

You shouldn't freeze your beans. You can get a container which allows the beans to degas at a constant rate, which keeps them fresher for longer on your counter. Good beans don't deserve the freezer.

Just wanna draw attention again to the above quote from the comment at the top of this chain. Tesla's very public and always in the news. Of course we know about all the things you mentioned in your comment. That doesn't mean Tesla is a failure or needs to be razed to the ground. Work in any company big enough or that's in the public spotlight too long and you'll find exactly these kinds of issues running rampant. I'm not excusing the issues (they definitely need to be looked at and either fixed or learned from), but I do think it's important to look at the big picture instead of getting caught up in the weeds of relatively minor but overly publicized failures.
I'm heavily considering Tallinn for a tech startup -

It's easy to get residence status (IIRC basically requires a ~$60k investment in a business you are starting) and extremely easy to start a business. You get access to the EU labor/trade markets in a low COL city which already has a decent sized tech and entrepreneurship presence. The government is actively courting you and in general seems very easy to interact with and move forward with - reducing the PM/lawyer overhead of operating a medium sized business in other countries. And if you stay there long enough it's not overly complicated to get EU permanent resident status.

Overall, Tallinn beats SV in almost every way except for two - developer talent/concentration (though it's still pretty good) and local capital.

> Rather the CPU vendors have been throwing transistors at doing more math operations in parallel. All you need to do is make sure you're taking advantage of the vector instructions, whether that's done by the compiler or with intrinsic calls.

Instruction-level parallelism is incredibly important. I'd say that any optimizing programmer needs to fully understand ILP, and how it interacts with pipelines and dependency cutting (and register renaming).

Modern CPUs are extremely well parallelized with ILP. Any good, modern hash function will take advantage of this feature of modern CPUs.

Case in point, it seems like xxhash is SCALAR 32-bit / 64-bit code. No vectorization as far as I can tell, its purely using ILP to get its speed.

Intel Assembly has a 64-bit multiplier (but vectorized only has 32-bit multipliers). I've theorized to myself that this 64-bit multiplier could lead to better mixing than the vectorized instructions, and it seems like xxhash goes for that.

The 32-bit version of xxhash can likely be vectorized and optimized even further.
