>How times have changed! I still vividly remember Intel being a full node ahead of everyone else with their release of 22nm node. For example, see this article from 2012:

Vividly remember, I was reading this and assuming it is going to be way back.... 22nm and 2012 really wasn't that long ago :D

Intel has had the processing node leads on CPU since the 90s. I vividly remember Pentium were always at least one year ahead of AMD. That was the Pentium, Pentium MMX .... Not quite sure if it was the case in 386 / 486 era.

I remember 180nm was already in AMD Athlon era, so it was likely in 2xx nm or 3xx nm.
I'm not so sure about the "steep learning curve of Rust" stereotype anymore. If you are comfortable with low-level programming languages in general, in a few days you can get yourself started fairly quickly with Rust to the point where you will still battle with compiler re: borrowing and related things, but will be able to write functional code. Coming from pure Python/JS will be tough, but it will be the same with any other low-level language.
Used here because of the implied greed and speculative use made of the resources, as well as for the idea of an alleged market of competing interest.

Empirically (I've done the comparison), desktop browser UIs have been growing in vertical screen occupation since Netscape Navigator 2 quite continuously, including the most recent versions, while reducing the amount of information and control provided by the interface. (That is, tabs introduced a new demand of some legitimacy. – However, another vertically stacked horizontal bar isn't the single imaginable solution to the problem. Previously, there had been sidebars with extracted link lists, we can do it for bookmarks and reading lists… We're even better at scanning vertical lists. There's quite some dogma involved. Arguably, a horizontal tab list shouldn't exceed 5 items.)

Well there is one for the first: `text-align: center;`.

But things can quickly get very complicated. This all needs to be done in the context of a ton of other CSS rules that could alter layout. And by the way, what do you mean by "vertically centered"? Using the font's baseline? Text top? Bottom? How are we dealing with text overflow if there isn't enough room in your rectangular element?
Vivaldi? So just a rebranded Chromium then. Maybe it's not sending private information to Google but it's still leveraging the HTML rendering policies dictated by Google.
Just get at least some money up front. If you can't walk away. It's a pretty simple concept, and it's the way to solve this problem.

OK so maybe the only other exception to this rule is when you have a real life serious executed contract and a purchase order with a serious company with hundreds of employees at minimum. Actually just kidding even then don't do it unless you know what you're doing. Those guys decide not to pay or pay months or years later a lot of the time too and will put you right out of business.

If someone complains about your policy tell them that you don't have a business manager, billing department, or collections operation, and by not having that you're passing all the savings on those functions on to the client, in exchange for a simple deposit or retainer.

Trust me on this. I'm old and have seen a lot of shit. Until you have a ton of experience freelancing or consulting or running an agency and don't need to ask questions like this just start off by getting a deposit or retainer up front every single time you do any work at all.

You won't find these kinds of experts on this particular forum. Maybe go find an aviation or military specific engineering discussion group?

Hacker News is the worst place for this kind of topic. Have you noticed that no-one applies formulas and calculations of any type in this particular discussion yet? Physically you can calculate the radar profile of all of these types of planes, and there are engineering spec sheets (albeit some are classified, but there's enough data out there for educated estimates)

But everyone is talking in terms of "like a bird" or "almost like background radiation" etc.

I'd suggest going elsewhere to engage experts on this topic.
Israel has made a lot of their own modifications to the F-35 including a new wing design.
Detected by Radar Warning Receivers (RWR). These are passive sensors, they're listening to the radar emissions that other planes and Radar stations are emitting. Because the radar needs to send a signal that bounces off the plane and have enough energy for those bounces to travel back to the radar, whereas th RWR only needs to detect the emissions traveling from the radar to the plane the radar will be detected by RWR from much further away. Most modern aircraft carry RWR, not just AWACS.
Exponential improvement is a very powerful lesson, for sure. Exponential increases in capability or applicability or exponential decreases in cost describe the fundamental benefit of technology.

>I hope you're right,

5nm started risk production were direct from TSMC report. They are expecting even faster ramp than 7nm. And TSMC has a history of being very conservative.

Their approach has been iteration rather than a leap like Intel did. And you can bet it will arrive on scheduled for next year's Apple iPhone.

There are roadmap, tools, technique for 3nm ( As explained in the Article ) and even 2nm. So none of these are pipe dreams. As long as these customers can keep paying top dollar to be on leading node, TSMC seems to have no problem with innovating. The question is when will these clients slow down and stop paying every year because leading node is too expensive. Basically the cost of designing leading node is doubling every two year. So we are seeing something like the inverse of Moore's Law.

You absolutely can try to acquire locks in any order if you are just trying to find the first one that is available.

> The presidential election is decided in the swing states

That's both true and misleading. The decisive factor in Presidential elections is base turnout. Obviously, the states where the outcome is least certain are most decisive, but this doesn't make centrism a particularly winning general election strategy for either party, which is why the Republicans haven't nominated a centrist Republican in decades, and the Democrats have consistently underperformed where they naturally should perform from party ID (including taking into account he state-by-state distribution), despite nominating candidates from the center-right neoliberal wing in every Presidential election since 1992.

> and with the current system the centrist Democrats do have a point

No, they don't. Their point is literally “We should keep doing the thing that we've been doing and expect that doing so will result in something other than the results it keeps producing.”

> America needs two periods with Democrats: the first one won with/by centrists, who then fix up the electoral system issues (gerrymandering, FPTP, voter suppression, campaign financing)

Why would centrists Democrats—who use all those things to argue for why progressives must vote for them instead of actual progressive candidates (and despite the fact that that strategy manifestly doesn't work)—want to fix any of those things and thereby terminate their own argument for dominance within the party?

You might as well expect Republicans to fix them; they have just as much (that is, negative) incentive to do so.

I think TypeScript is a good example of one extreme. You've got conditional types, literal types, type mapping, and a bunch of other very advanced parameterized types.

(I also think it makes sense for TypeScript given JavaScript idioms; it mainly falls over when the caller has to interpret some very complicated error messages, however)
You are mistaking Hacker news for reddit. The burden of proof lies on the person making fantastic claims. I obviously have sources saying the contrary that's why I disagree with your sentiment. That's why I'm interested to see the sources claiming the contrary.

Obligatory reminder that "memristor" is mostly a marketing hype word at this point. No clear example of the original memristor hypothesis has ever been crafted, and there is wide disagreement on what should or shouldn't be called a memristor, and it's not even agreed whether a memristor can physically exist at all. And hearing about the "first" memristor <whatever> is basically a biannual occurrence.

Also, reminder that even if someone manages to make a real memristor and everyone agrees it is a memristor, it may not end up being a big deal. They have some nice hypothetical properties, but they're not magic, and any widespread use would probably take decades.

Are memristors real? I feel like I've been hearing about how memristors are going to revolutionize computing for as long as I've been paying attention (~10 years). And yet, they never arrive. I also recall some detractors who say it's all marketing and "true" memristors aren't going to be viable for a super long time. Can anyone from HN summarize what the deal with memristors is?

Don't start a business for the sake of starting a business. Find a problem to solve, whether its your own or someone elses, and make sure someone will actually PAY to have that problem solved. Lastly, and most importantly, just because you want success doesn't mean you'll ever get it. Our society celebrates the lucky and ignores the many many more who failed.

> someone will need to reform the federal food subsidies that keep meat an order of magnitude cheaper than it should be

Sadly, as most of us probably know already, that would require the buddies of Big Agriculture to do work that directly attacks Big Agriculture. Won't happen, not now, not ever. There's simply too much money in it.

I think the only thing that might shuttle this process along is that Big Agri starts coming out with their own plant-based alternatives, like Tyson is doing. Once the big money gets into the political environment, that's when things will really change. I look forward to the prices taking a dive when that happens.

>Maybe some products inherently can't be sustained by word of mouth, and in a world without widespread commercial advertising they wouldn't exist at all.

Maybe those products shouldn't exist, then. Just because someone has an idea or wants to sell yet another iteration on an existing product or service, doesn't mean they deserve to. Maybe advertising allows markets to be far more diverse and saturated than they should be?

Also, maybe advertising isn't as necessary as it once was in a world where search engines and online stores exist and you can literally see a product and its competition all listed in one place if you're looking for something.
If a product can't be sustained by word of mouth, it's because it doesn't fill a need that wasn't artificially created by advertising. These products shouldn't exist.
Considering that plastic is hydrocarbons already you'd probably just get different hydrocarbons.
Living in California I can tell you that there is free parking with valets. You can charge your electric car and the lobby is definitely not looking bad at all.

Pacific Standard's headline is flat wrong: "when controlling for SAT scores and demographics, differences between liberal and
conservative students are modest. For example, holding all else constant, the most liberal student would enjoy a 0.16 point advantage over the most conservative student on a 7 point

Modest. And statistically significant.
> I'm sure this was in the days before instruction caches were a thing.

Well, there are never going to be side effects for the other architectures, because those parts simply can't be touched. Code for the i386 only jumps to other i386 code. Anything that is not i386 code might as well be donkey droppings. If we think about how sequences of NOP instructions are routinely added to machine code for cache-aligning the start of a block, or how non-code data such a string literals is weaved into the middle of code, it doesn't seem far-fetched at all.

All advertising is targeted; the granularity and fidelity of targeting are what changes.

I’d compare it to e.g. the work on async/await in Rust, where the discussion seems more directly “we like this feature that C# pioneered and JS has adopted, here’s how we plan to adapt it to make it work well with Rust.”

Admittedly, the Rust async/await RFC and the Go contracts proposal both discuss prior art in sections towards the end, so they are actually similar in that respect. Maybe it’s really just a question of tone and messaging, and the particular discussions that tend to end up on HN.

There are passive ways to detect a tracking radar, it's the same principle is used in dashboard speed-radar detectors. The anti-aircraft batteries are going to have to send out the first ping otherwise they would never know the aircraft is there.

I've been feeling like this for a while because at least back when chrome first hit it seemed like Mozilla and Google were mostly competing but modestly equal interests. Then Android took off. Then even the fringe browsers became webkit to keep up. Then about this time Google started testing the waters for this level of pushing through standards, and they've just kept pushing to what should violate something other than morality, but I don't feel like there is an appropriate mechanism to slap their wrist and push back. I really wish that most of these chrome standards would stop smelling as much "I changed it because it didn't work for my current project and I guess I'll force a standards change to meet my project deadline." I have not felt like most of the Chrome changes I have observed recently are given more thought than an intern/junior dev would give it and they don't have a Linus to tell them to stop breaking userspace.
Yes but why doesn't it look like a pie slice - outlined by "clock hands." The circle graph treats the year like a clock. There is no reason that if Aug 5 is above 70 on average, that the coloring only goes halfway on that day. It's a binary yes/no.
