There's two implict assumptions.

1. If you're a working mother, you're currently assumed to either be a bad worker, or a bad mother. (Sad corollary: If you're a working father, most people don't assume this about you.)

2. If you're a professional man, and you want children, your wife is expected to compromise her career, to raise them.

Both of these are, of course, complete bullshit.
Tech support, guidance on opening bug reports, etc. There are some projects where there's not an open forum to post questions, but opening an issue or filing a bug report will immediately get your head bitten off by an angry dev unless you've read X number of docs, combed through closed issues to make sure it hasn't been asked previously, reproduced the issue, provided a GDB stacktrace of the issue occurring, etc.

IRC support channels can provide some immediate front-line support and allow you to ask basic questions without being told to go die in a fire.
I strongly recommend OpenTTD and OpenMW. They surpass the original games, in my opinion.

Ok, changed from https://www.wsj.com/articles/jpmorgan-closing-down-finn-digi....
Honestly, looking at the dladm man page makes it look pretty good to my eyes. It's technical, and long, but the fact that it seems to go into the capabilities in great detail and how to use it as well as includes twenty separate examples at the bottom is something I see as a good sign. This is exactly the kind of reference, that included with a couple test systems to play with, I could use to figure out how to implement a network design.

Whether it accurately explains the capabilities of etherstub I don't know, but it seems to do a good job explaining what it is and is used for. The basic usage is detailed within one of the examples. I'm not sure what you're comparing it to that you think would be a superior way to document it though. I honestly can't imagine it being better in Linux in any way. Windows, it would probably be explained better, but you might have to pay a few hundred dollars for the documentation or training, whether it be from Microsoft or a third party.

> It's conceptually different. You can easily use the OpenBSD man pages, because they map nicely to every other Unix system concept.

Not any more than SmartOS, I'm sure. IIRC, CARP is an OpenBSD designed protocol to compete with Cisco's proprietary VRRP. pfsync is their tool and protocol to sync PF (their own custom firewall implementation) states across a network link. sasync is their own protocol and implementation to sync IPSEC security associations across the network. These were eventually adopted and ported to FreeBSD, but they are far from "every other Unix system concept".

I view OpenBSD and IllumOS/SmartOS to be even more similar in approach now than I did prior to this discussion.
I'd be glad to pay a 'match' fee, where they match my library for a small fee per game. But buying $60 games again is not going to happen. This might mean I purchase future games on Stadia.... Maybe. But not games I already own.

I feel that's a huge advantage of Nvidia's solution. I'd probably rather pay $10/mo to play my existing Steam games and continue buying games on Steam. Then I'd own them. If Nvidia closes their streaming service, I still have my games. If Google closed Stadia, you'd lose everything!
All the time. We have an IRC server at work, but it's less popular than Slack unfortunately.

Over generalized solutions smells like premature optimization

Solve for the problems at hand, not ones we can conceptualize.

If a stack works fine, why does the parser picked for that stack need to be anything else than what’s working?
> How about another set of registers, which can be written by one CPU, and read by the others?

The L3 cache is doing something similar. Whatever you come up with has to cope with each core implementing out-of-order execution, so it can't be both trivially simple and ultra-fast.

The L2 and L1 caches are more local to the particular core, and so are faster. More generally, it seems to me unlikely that it would ever make sense to trade off against per-core performance.

> I suppose some of this could be accomplished by compilers on current hardware, if they had information about CPU cores being targeted.

Are we talking about a new software abstraction, or a performance-enhancement on existing hardware? The latter seems unlikely to me - the parallelism folks would've thought of it.

If you buy the game, do you actually own it though? Or do you lose it when Stadia shuts down? If I'm going to pay full price for a game, then I want to be able to play it 10 or 20 years from now.

In mathematics, at least, this is not true. For example, a set consisting of the empty set is not empty.
There is a connection in his last paragraph to entrepreneurship - I can't place a finger on the exact phasing but I've seen before on HN an essay about the need for an entrepreneur to be "all in" and genuinely swayed by their own arguments. I've definitely observed that in successful business people around me, and observed that I can't seem to do that to myself. While I'm not an entrepreneur, I've often thought to start businesses, but I can't ever seem to summon the self-certainty to commit to any ideas that I suspect are good and would generate value.

Put other way, if you are susceptible to argument, you must be willing to accept the risks, or unaware that there are risks in committing fully to an argument and a premise. This seems particularly suitable to startups where oftentimes evidence of demand, market size, or growth is conspicuously absent at the moment of inception.
It's all done through AWS Cognito so it's something I got working with the default code-based method and then moved on to other things. I'll look at reprioritizing a confirmation link to smooth that process.

I do care somewhat about confirming accounts in general just because it cuts down on spam/abuse, and it ensures someone didn't fat-finger their email and then can't regain access when they forget their password in a month. Also, I have on the roadmap a feature for configurable reminders/notifications, and services like AWS SES track bounces. Too many invalid recipients and you run the risk of getting throttled or suspended.
The XBox also had the luxury of amazing timing, although it's unclear whether it was intentional or luck.

Sony dominated generations 5 and 6 against weak competition. The Dreamcast was an outright failure that was discontinued a few months before the Xbox's release, and the Gamecube was a commercial disappointment; which practically handed Microsoft a #2 showing.

Right now all three incumbents appear strong and evenly matched, which may not leave Google much of a hole.
Is Stadia forbidden from changing this pricing model? Lets say I buy 6x $60 games. Is Google going to be able to flip a switch and change it so I need to pay a subscription to access previously purchases games? Am I prorated for downtime?

That isn't always true. I commute from a downtown to an office park in a suburb (against traffic when driving). On my bike, it takes about 40 mins (~11-12 miles). The same commute in reverse by car is about 45 mins due to traffic. If I instead lived in the suburb and worked downtown, it would be a tossup travel time wise between my bike and car.
"Release price" is a bit strong for a Google service. "Launch price", maybe. Google launched their reputation on launching services as "Beta", it does seem entirely fair to compare a Google service's "launch price" as a "beta price", given that reputation.
> Arguments? You can prove anything with arguments.

This reminds me of a very interesting (and accessible!) article by the mathematician Terence Tao about what major mathematical results tend to look like, and how to be more skeptical of your own work: https://terrytao.wordpress.com/career-advice/be-sceptical-of...

> If you unexpectedly find a problem solving itself almost effortlessly, and you can’t quite see why, you should try to analyse your solution more sceptically. In particular, the method may also be able to prove much stronger statements which are known to be false, which would imply that there is a flaw in the method.
Patent trolls is in general a company whose only reason to exist is to buy our register simple, general patents and sue other companies. There is usually no other business that can explode in their face. That is one of the most dangerous aspect of them.

"millions upon millions of soldiers"

That shouldn't have been a shock to Hitler, not even an unknown information. In the Russian Civil War¹ that preceded WW2, the Red Army amassed well over five million soldiers, and the soviet's control over the country and subsequently over the army enlistments could only improve since then.

I just skimmed the article and it all resonates with my experience as an immigrant in the US but I'm also going to point out that the way cities are built in the US plays a huge role in isolating people. In most american cities the spaces to aggregate without having to pay money (let's say a restaurant) are scarce or even absent. There's no benches on the side of the streets, because we fear that someone could sit on it and NOT SPEND MONEY at a nearby business (the horror!).

We build houses far, far away from stores and places of work, so everyone needs to drive to those places in their own motorized isolation box.

We built profoundly inhuman places to live, and the result is that nobody is happy and we're all dying of all kinds of preventable diseases.

I think this model of society has largely failed, and people in western countries are now struggling to figure out where do we go from here, a question we will probably not answer in my lifetime.
I wonder if you could synthesise a carbon based material directly from CO2 in the atmosphere and use that to build the gas/vacuum holders.
I've used Termius on my iPhone a few times when I needed to complete a small task and couldn't be at a computer. For that use case, it's been fantastic!

However, Termius on the desktop (Windows, in this case) falls short of the usability threshold for me because of slow performance, especially at high resolutions. When scrolling a large number of characters across the screen, performance is significantly worse than using Linux terminals like gnome-terminal or Terminal.app on macOS.

Every few months I end up installing the latest version of Termius to see if the performance issues have been fixed, but they have not. Instead, I'm using an installation of mate-terminal on Ubuntu for WSL combined with the X410 server. It's much more clunky to set up and use, but performance is great.

I expect that with the introduction of Windows Terminal, Termius will lose ground if it doesn't improve.
Having the "founder" anonymous and silent has been good for Bitcoin. Even if it didn't have any effect on the market (it would) everyone can fantasize and speculate about the motives for Bitcoin's creation, about the next moves, etc. So such founder is a superposition of anyone's idea. If that superposition collapses into one drug cartel boss, that would change many people's view about Bitcoin and it's purpose, legality and of course market price

31bn did NOT go to Britain. That was the gross figure to Britain and Empire including the dominions with independent governments. As they break it down no further I'd have to find a source with the true British figure.

Nor does it take off the roughly 8 or 10bn of British lend-lease to the US, or the end of war lend-lease loans. Or take into account the British lend-lease supplied to Russia, which was far from insignificant - your Wikipedia link mentions in the otherwise unpriced list £1.15bn of aero engines - that alone would be about $4.5bn US - as wartime exchange was pegged at $4 to £1.

Neither the US - nor anyone else - achieved a fully mobilised war economy overnight - supply was a constant issue for much of the war going on most of the histories I've read, and it was only by late 43/early 44 that the US was manufacturing her way out of trouble. Even that fairly poorly organised Wikipedia page includes the throwaway quote of "Even after the United States forces in Europe and the Pacific began to attain full strength during 1943–1944, Lend-Lease continued".

Russia got about 12% of all the jeeps produced, 50% of the P39s, etc.

It doesn't make sense that it wasn't part of the equation in several campaigns. Not the cost, but the logistics and production - number of tanks or whatever actually available in theatre. By 44 not so much.

Sledgehammer in 42 would have certainly failed, and failed badly. Much has been written about it. To summarise from Wikipedia - who write surprisingly little about it:

"However, the elements required for such an operation were lacking, i.e. air superiority, amphibious warfare equipment, sufficient forces and adequate supply. Despite all this, the Joint Chiefs of Staff considered Sledgehammer feasible.

If Sledgehammer had been carried out, the British could have landed only six divisions at most, whereas the Germans had 25-30 divisions in Western Europe"

It could very possibly have been the war losing campaign.

If the evil demon theory made specific predictions that turned out to be right and weren't predicted by other theories, then it would be a useful theory. It's possible for a theory of a super-universe to do that.

Imagine if we came up with a super-universe theory that said that the super-universe could only spawn sub-universes which followed conservation of energy plus several other laws no one had ever thought to test before (and weren't implied by any other theories), and as we started testing for those other laws, every single one we tested turned out to hold in our universe.

(If that happened, it would be reasonable to look for simpler theories that also predicted those other laws too, but it's possible that the super-universe theory would turn out to be the simplest possible theory that fits. Theories should be judged by the complexity of their rules, not by the number or complexity of things they predict; a simple theory that implies a large ensemble of universes can be better than a more complex theory that implies only our world or what we can see is real.)

I didn't, and wouldn't, suggest getting "romantic advice" from movies: But it happens that some movies DO a good job illustrating some common, strong aspects of female emotions. That's not "advice" but just data from some samples. Partly the examples are in the movies BECAUSE much of the audience can or already does understand them -- so, indirectly what's in the movies is some of what is already commonly well understood in the audience. Besides, I explained that should take what was in common for the dozen or so women in those movies.

Nonsense. 100% total nonsense. No where did I suggest or imply that they have sexual intercourse before she is 18 and married. And I would suggest that they not. If they don't have sexual intercourse, then there is no "rape".

I bought my parents some outdoor pathway solar lights marketed as "Amazon's Choice" that turned out to be cheap garbage. Their first set that they bought decades ago lasted over 10 years. Then next two sets they bought fizzled out in 2 years or so. With solar, battery & led technology moving forward exponentially I figured it would be easy to find nice solar lights for a good price. I set out to buy a decent set of lights for them & didn't mind paying a little more for some quality lights. I couldn't decide between a few models & Amazon kept recommending their "Amazon's Choice" that didn't list as many technical specifications as the ones I was considering. Time marched on & I needed to make a decision & decided to trust Amazon with their choice. I figured that their AI would know I analyze many of my purchases extensively & pay extra for quality, so I assumed that info would probably be in my account profile. (yeah I remember the old saying too!) I was never so embarrassed to give somebody a gift then when I gave the "Amazon's Choice" solar light set to my parents. Some didn't work at all right out of the box. Within 6 months only two worked. They were dim, really cheap (stakes broke) & were that annoying artificial light spectrum. I don't buy much from Amazon anymore for this & other reasons, but when I do, if it says "Amazon's Choice" it doesn't encourage me to buy, it discourages me from making a purchase.
Thanks, I missed that! Sounds pretty cool.
It seems to me that these issues would fall into the author's category of things you need not take seriously: in the first case, don't look for proofs of a proposition that is not well-defined enough to be amenable to either proof or refutation, and in the second, don't expect to reach the end of a line of inquiry that you can see will never end.
I completely agree that the desktop app performance must be better. We have been gradually migrating from Angular to React under the hood, so having both frameworks slowed down the app. We are going to be done with migration soon, and we are testing WebGL rendering to speed it up even more.
