Sure, the article is largely meaningless. But I've spent a couple months playing with this package and it is a lot more general than Stan etc.
Apple is probably going to switch to their own chips before they switch to AMD.
What I really wish that NPM would do, as an initial security addon would be to load each of the JS files and check for all the IP addresses and URLs in the module, and include that in the package information. If it's not an API client, then one can/could be very leery of any addresses and could flag any packages that add/change them between releases, or maybe require a major version bump.
I'm torn on this.

I think single-purchase licenses work for some things, but they're a hard sell for others. For example, I really, really can't justify paying for a password manager for example.

At the same time, monthly subscriptions make sense for some things but don't make sense for others.

How can you game exercise training in way that would degrade your health? Steroids and a diet high in sodium?
I don't understand what this would mean in practice.

"End-to-end encryption" isn't really some fancy new technology. It's just the combination of communication plus encryption. If you and I share a password, I encrypt some data, email you that data, and you decrypt it, that's end-to-end encryption.

So what would be banned? Would you not be allowed to email encrypted files to someone? That seems implausible. Would it be legal to email encrypted text files to your friends, but illegal to build software that automatically did both encryption plus email?

That seems pretty weird, making it legal to do a thing but making it illegal to build software that made that thing easier.
To expand on this, BMI was created as a population level comparison in the early 1800's, which it does a decent job at. It was not designed as something to look at a single individual with, let alone diagnose a health condition.

Naively, a round trip requires twice the delta-v, which means you need to launch with a lot more than twice the fuel.

Maybe they could produce more fuel and oxidizer in situ, and maybe Earth is a more attractive target for aerocapture, and maybe gravity assists line up better one way or the other, but it's not a bad starting point to assume a round trip is far more expensive than a one-way trip.

I'm not sure on what basis he thinks Starship might be able to get there in the first place.

A few months ago, I was forced to work with Julia. What a dreadful experience. Matlabish syntax (did the creator of the language ask satan for advice?). Working with the namespaces is like waking with a stick in the a$$. Libraries are sparce, immature and buggy. The fanboys claim it's fast off the bat, but you only get fast results after lots of tweaks and tricks. Thanks God my manager came back to his senses and we reverted back to Python.

I only wish failure, ridicule and complete obliteration to the Julia project

There are no technical means needed to bypass internet censorship in China. People are using the free internet there perfectly, using obfs4. Problem is that there is no way to express their opinion freely on the internet because:

- Expression of opinion almost always lets you being identified even if your IP address can't be seen.

- Most people won't support your opinion - because they are paid trolls (a large fraction of app posts, because a comparatively small - 'only' hundreds of thousands - trolls post in insane quantities) and because many online spaces are shaped by trolls and by people who are too afraid of expressing their opinion freely. Internet is simply not seen as a place appropriate for sensitive discussions in China and this will not change if people will be able to access all blocked resources, or reliably hide their locations.
I address this upthread, but when you talk about how it's easier to bring people to justice easily in the world today, frequently that ease results from over-broad subpoena or bulk-collection powers. I think that warrants give much more freedoms to us as individuals, including the freedom to be private. What I would like to see the government systematically encouraged at every step to use warrants on criminality, rather than subpoenas for potential of criminality. So in that world, I think warrants need to be more useful.

> We’ve been hovering around 38-40 at 80%+ humidity a few days now

Where is this? The place referenced in the article, Villevieille, is currently 43C and 20-40%ish humidity[1]. Googling hasnt brought up anywhere higher. (Obviously temps were higher during the day)

When there's high daytime temps and low nighttime temps, my understanding is there isn't high humidity - humidity levels would get above 100% (100% relative humidity, that is) and leave the air as precipitation.

It isn't uncommon for books to promote other books before/after the content, but something about having it in the page movement is so distracting. And it is slow to load in, meanwhile it is just a big white square blocking the book title with an animated spinner.

There isn't any company I would "trust" to provide an uniformly excellent experience so I don't really hold it against Amazon in toto, I still think their ability to do the long tail of retail is excellent. I didn't refund the book because I still borrowed it and read it, and I feel that the author and publisher still deserve their share since they've done nothing wrong.
I'm an Evernote user and have been worried recently about the direction things were going. Features moving from free to paid and such. I take many notes on the app and have years of jottings - I would hate to get trapped in a corner.

This new CEO sounds reassuring (https://evernote.com/blog/looking-ahead-evernotes-priorities...). Like he's got his head screwed on, and wants to build a great productivity app and a profitable, sustainable company - not be "the Nike of your mind" (sheesh).
That's a bit more complicated don't you think? 70+ years with America as a superpower (20+ where it is almost the only one in its class) makes it easy to forget that things could have been massively different. Imagine a case where the Soviet Union did not dissolve, but stabilized as a military and economic equal to the US. Would you say that Canada's peace and prosperity would be guaranteed in this alternative universe? What about other countries in eastern Europe or the Middle East?

To give you an couple examples in the current real world, imagine if South Korea or Taiwan didn't have such good relations with America in the post-WW2 peace. It is not that far fetched to think that there could be a single communist Korea, Taiwan could have been swallowed up by mainland China.
Although you’re downvoted here, I believe you have a point. This expert doesn’t seem to factor in the likelihood that providing better quality service will be boosted by first mover advantage given the nature of the system. A linked constellation system is still novel and will certainly require trial and error to hone it. SpaceX has a major edge here in being first and having related expertise in a vertically integrated company. Unless they totally botch it they could readily remain a generation ahead of other players for a decade or more just by leveraging extra launch ability. E.g. they can iterate quicker and more often.

Given this constellation and phased array antennas are novel combination an expert’s opinion is worth about as much as most here on HN. Also, it’s annoying how the article questions finding a market, as the competition in semi-rural areas is Comcast, charter, Verizon etc if lucky. That’s a pretty low bar IMHO.

I hope we get some good competition in this area!

Absolutely, government tends towards ever increasing authoritarianism and unjust criminalization of the people.

So the right to privacy (and therefore the ability to break the law) is one of the most important checks against government.

iOS was looking a bit odd with the release of iPhone X as you now started having splintering at least initially (I'm not sure when it happened, but my older iPad started getting iPhone X-esque swipe down gestures for command center and notifications which was a nice touch). iPadOS looks to be iOS with extra add in features and it was kind of needed if they're going for the PC replacement angle now. I'm glad that my new iPad is getting (has, via beta) mouse support. I don't see any value in my iPhone X having it though (unless there were some kind of meaningful reason for docking), so it'd seem to be bloat at that point.

The Ryzen mobile CPUs are quite far behind Intel's offerings at the moment - they're manufactured on a 12 nm process and use the Zen+ uarch, instead of 7 nm/Zen 2 the new desktop chips use.

They have the advantage in GPU performance, but Ice Lake chips are coming in the next couple of months and they should slightly surpass the performance of the Vega GPUs, plus the CPU itself should perform quite a bit better, at least in terms of raw IPC.
Out of curiosity, has anybody had anything in the AMD Ryzen instruction set missing that required you to purchase an Intel 9xxx instead?

Any significant differences in regards to scientific applications or machine learning?

> Unfortunately there's just not a lot of value to being able to put on your resume that you're an expert at an older language that nobody has heard of, built on an in-house framework that will never be used outside of your current company.

I think this is, fortunately, only approximately true. Most of my career to-date has involved exactly this kind of work and it's certainly not true that there's no value in it, even on a resumé or mentioned in a job interview. And certainly some non-zero amount of people derive considerable value from exactly that kind of experience as some non-zero number of employers or customers need someone with it.

And, in a lot of ways, working on legacy systems can be both immensely fun and rewarding. Even just incremental improvement in or around such systems can itself be immensely valuable, e.g. setting-up automated builds or deployments, adding integration tests (to make future refactoring easier and safer), or rewriting or replacing a key portion of the system using newer tools or with a better design made possible due to the wisdom accumulated by a system performing real work over a significant period of time.

The most important designer of the 21st century so far, he was responsible for the most successful product of all time and a design aesthetic that reshaped the whole industry. I find it hard to judge individual features and products, because who knows how or why specific decisions were made. An amazing legacy, I really look forward to an autobiography, it will probably the closest we will ever get to the Ives/Jobs team.
Push-ups was one area of excercise in which I would always struggle - even at a time when I was a top competitive swimmer and also area Kendo, lots of cicling, running. I was fit. But pushups always a struggle.

Solution - do pushups at an angle, so use a chair pushup from that (a comfy sofar arm rests even better and perhaps safer as well). This does mean you are using less effort, but you are still working those muscles and will be able to gradually lower the angle. Bigger the angle, less effort (yay science). So even those with extremely weak muscles involved in a pushup, can do them without struggling and exerting themselves as well as possible injury trying the usual style push ups.

TL;DR Push Ups involve muscles that you may not use in other sports and activities. Push Ups at an angle can aid those with weak muscles who struggle to do a normal pushup and aid them in building the muscles up to the level that will enable them to do a normal pushup.
We have similar rules here in Germany. I live in a fairly modern, well isolated house. To comply with all these requirements, we build more and more houses with floor heating here. It's easier to efficiently heat that way using heat pumps, for instance. I got the impression that on our upper floor the heat is so well conserved that we basically aren't able to cool the house down anymore during these heatwaves. It takes about three days after the heatwave has passed to get back to normal levels even when all windows are open all the time and a fan blows air through the whole building. That's a real problem.

Sure society affects gender expression of individuals to some extent.

But the scientific evidence shows innate differences between genders.

There are studies out there showing gender differences between human babies (boys and girls) and even between baby chimps.

I would consider saying that gender differences are solely or even mostly society based as science denial.

As someone who is also old enough to have used all these ancient technologies, I'm mystified as to why people today would want to go back to doing everything from a command line interface. Some things are really better done in GUIs. For example, why should I use diff if I can use kdiff3 instead?

Don't be amazed. It is part of American culture to criticize international and domestic policies that we disagree with.

> The fact that companies who are competitors can compete fiercely doesn't prove anything.

The linked Wikipedia shows that Intel was convicted and fined for illegal anticompetitive measures against AMD. They were fined 1.25 billion dollars, a non-trivial sum. It is a factual statement that Intel has historically attempted to suppress AMD products through measures beyond competing on features alone.

While this does not prove the original accusation, it is supporting evidence, and makes the statement more plausible.

Yes it is terrible, I hope that those trying to stop those despicable and reprehensible people have all the resource they need.

Yet it is not a justification to inflate everything to the right of extreme left as "killing people". The media bias in this regard is undeniable.

But seriously, I do not have the ability to continue this conversation without pulling out topics I would rather not talk about.

Really optimize for them? Doing pushups or increasing grip strengths are not things that you can improve in isolation. To get to even 20 pushups, you can't be obsese, you need enough strength in your shoulders, the core has to be strong. Similarly, grip strength, if you've just let yourself go, there is no chance you have any strength left in your forearms.
Not the parent but I took his comment to be a response to a comment above that mentioned DOS apps that had menus, used standard function keys, had "form controls" (e.g. buttons, lists), etc.

I think of a TUI not so much as a 2D text interface but more like text interfaces that work with a mouse, use similar constructs as GUI's like menus and form controls and standardize on conventions for displaying information in a uniform way across different applications.

Like I said, not the parent, so I may be wrong but there's my two cents...
AMD Working on a Hybrid Ray Tracing Technology (Hardware X Software)
Yes, and you go through quite a lot of effort to achieve that, given your other comment.

My main point is that the amount of effort you have to go through to achieve that is very high, and I wish it was considerable lower. There are technological changes that could help with this, and legal changes that could help with this.

I think a comfortable place would be if you visit the same online location using your main browser using one IP, and a private browsing instance of that same browser on another IP (through a VPN, proxy, or just new public lease), it would be nice if there was some expectation they didn't immediately have a high degree of certainty you were the same individual. For the general populace, this falls on its face.

Tor has quite a few mitigations to help here (e.g. simulated window/screen values), and Firefox has started to adopt some of them, but as mentioned here on HN frequently, Firefox sometimes has problems with CAPTCHAs and certain sites (I haven't had those problems, but I'm also not usually using it through a VPN), and I know Tor is sometimes blocked outright.

The point is that until most these protections (technological and hopefully some legal) are mainstream, completely protecting yourself is a double edged sword, since you also ostracize yourself from some sites and services. Tor is the equivalent of walking around in padded, baggy clothes and a ski-mask. Sometimes, like in the snow, it may seem fairly normal. Other times, like at the beach, it may preserve your privacy, but it's very uncomfortable and may cause people to avoid you, if not outright shun you and run you off. If everyone starts wearing masks and covering their hair, if you do the same you probably have a fairly high degree of anonymity and privacy through it.

In summary, I think Tor is a useful and necessary tool, but nowhere near sufficient for where I think we need to be generally.
Thanks for the info. I am looking forward to it :-)
