Maybe if the kernel behaved optimally it wouldn't be any different, but empirically it seems like it does help.

My guess would be that if it's all RAM, then the kernel will happily use all of it for IO buffers, etc. and make no attempt to reduce its usage until actually necessary. If some of it is swap, then the kernel will (over time) try to reduce the size of its IO buffers until swap is no longer needed, but that de-allocation doesn't need to happen immediately, or block the rest of the system whilst it does happen.

Maybe there is a way to have that "high water mark" without needing swap - reserve 500M to be only used in "emergencies" - I don't know the details of the linux kernel well enough to know if that's a possibility.
Perhaps you have to use your common sense to know there are only so many enthusiasts but there are many more gamers that cannot afford 1080-Ti. Enthusiasts consists of tiny fraction of the entire GPU and CPU market if you are insisting that the majority of sales fro NVIDIA or Intel comes from that segment of the market then I think you are wrong.
That's interesting. Looks like it's a limited beta right now, I wonder if anyone will be able to enable Patreon-esque sponsorship for their projects in the future and what the requirements will be. Also very generous of Microsoft to match donations.

But if you're out socializing, you may be drunk (so unsafe to bike) and late (where transport networks start getting sparse). That's when taxis make more sense.

Sure, but why does the taxi have to pick you up right outside the club. Most of the time it's not unreasonable to expect people to walk a short stretch to a place where a taxi can pick you up.
Even in IT, in certain world regions you would have better luck with some variation of Spanish, Portuguese, French, Russian as Lingua Franca than English.

That's sort of the point. It's "just Python". It's s-expression syntax for Python.

Why would one want such a thing? Well, s-expressions confer many advantages (and of course, some disadvantages - it's good to have a choice!)

- It makes it easy to write code that writes code, which is useful because it affords "compile-time" abstractions with no runtime performance penalty (in lisp terms, "macros").

- If you're comfortable with a structure editor, it enormously lowers the friction involved in refactoring.

- It allows everything to be an expression:

json.loads(with f as open("file.json"): f.read()) #doesn't work
(json.loads (with [f (open "file.json")] (f.read))) ;works

- It effectively removes all restrictions based around things fitting on a single line - lambdas are the canonical example.
"Just Works"

yeah right.
Thanks for sharing that map it's fascinating. Quite eery that knife-shaped area of orange/red in the west of Edinburgh from Sighthill into Haymarket - it is so pronounced and so contained between the train lines. I used to take the bus out from the city to Heriot-Watt University and both 25 and 34 routes zig-zag through that area and it's a bit grim. Playing 5-aside in the pitches at Sighthill was also a fun adventure.
Very well, but why don't these reports ever call for reducing the birthrate in countries where this is exploding [1]?

Now they are asking us to stop meat consumption, but the if number of people keeps increasing, what will they ask us to stop next instead of addressing the real problem?

Clearly the real issue is having too many people. Birth control is the proper way to tackle the problem.

I don’t how much the positive PR is worth, or how much additional costs do they eliminate by renouncing to recover anything. But arguments of the “losing money is good for companies because they recover a small part of it as tax savings” kind do not make a lot of sense in general.

That is rare information. Never heard of MacFarlan Smith before.

To add to the cocktail of drugs there is also glue sniffing. South of the border you will never see anyone sniffing glue and I doubt there are many people in England who wake up in the morning with a burning desire to sit in the street sniffing glue.

There is also 'Bucky' that alcohol that is not sold south of the border.

For one, Zig's error reporting is more friendly than C++ and will continue to get better. For another, it's a tradeoff, but the fact that the language is so much simpler than C++/Rust and compilation faster gives you a lot of headroom elsewhere (when the development cycle is faster, it's easier to focus your resources where they matter most to you).

Of course, language preference is personal and aesthetic, and different people have different preferences.

I worked at Riccarton for a few years and cycled from Leith - had a few late night "adventures" including someone throwing a brick at my head, which fortunately missed.
I feel the whole 'what can you do to save the planet' is a big distraction & shifting the blame strategy. As long as we have arguments on how much meat we are eating, how much energy we use etc, we are not focusing on the fact that governments hardly regulate anything corporate.
The question is, what workloads do people have that they'll run often enough and/or profitably enough to warrant those 64 CPUs sitting around idle when they're not using them.

This is the advantage of a cloud host. Sure you pay a premium, but you're paying not to pay for it when you're not using it (and networking and power and updates and security etc.).

It seems to me that if you hit the point where you really need swap, then you're already in trouble. Maybe that swap gives you a little buffer before things get really bad, but chances are that will just keep you unaware of your impending problem until they go critical (unless you have lots of good monitoring/alerting).
Also, fintech is paying significantly more than FAANG right now. The interviews are harder, but there was an ~$60k premium to go to NYC over SF for most of my friends in Harvard's last class. Combined with what is viewed as a relatively low promotion curve vs NYC -- if they wanted a big company, most students took NYC.

At 5 years of experience, the gap was even wider. A friend just took a 400% pay raise to move from Google to a fintech firm. He shopped around at other tech companies, but no one was above a 20-30% increase.
Let's not play this particular blame-game. The ethics (or lack thereof) of the administration of China is not where this bias comes from.

Yes, and 45% of the population believe in ghosts [0], 29% of Americans believe Obama is a Muslim [1] and 40% of Americans believe the Earth is less than 10,000 years old [2], so frankly I put very little stock in what the average Joe thinks these days.

There has been a constant propaganda campaign waged in the media by people who have an interest in maintaining the status quo regarding extractive industries, and a rather large proportion of the population has eaten it all up.

Well, define ethics. The protesters mentioned in the article seem to think that even providing software to law enforcement is unethical (like many google employees seem to think that providing software to the US armed forces is unethical). I don't think that a Silicon Valley definition of ethics will gather much consensus.

You can already get 1-4 GPUs on VMS with 64-96 vCPUs in a number of regions: https://cloud.google.com/compute/docs/gpus/#gpus-list

Is the problem that the CPU max scales with the number of GPUs, so you can't get 1 GPU with 96 vCPUs?
Your analysis of American politics makes it sound like the entire voting block of US adults supports these policies, wanted this man as president, and watches Fox News. Fact of the matter is 3 million more people voted for the other candidate but this guy won on a technicality. The majority of Americans do not support these policies but our representative election processes are designed to prevent simple majority rule. Couple this with a legislative branch that cedes authority to the executive over the course of decades in the name of political expedience and we are where we are today.
It's worth remembering that the world isn't divided into the US and China. There are in fact other countries, and the fact that the US is willing to violate the rights of the people in those countries on a massive scale and subsequently use that against them (which is an even more important factor) means that there is no moral high ground to be found there.
Right?

Along the same lines, why invent a cure, when you could instead invent a lifelong treatment?

Most of the IT infrastructure most people would use at any point will have documentation in English. I'm sure you could find isolated examples to the contrary and no doubt those examples are sometimes also great software worth using, but this is currently not the norm.

For mixed workload servers I tend to go for 1GB swap, vm.swappiness=0 and then alerts on around 300-400MB of swap usage. I found alerting on swap to be the best indicator of impending doom, whether it's from a slow memory leak or a buildup from an i/o bottleneck.

>>Some friends of mine who lived in London had an electricity meter that they had to recharge with cards they got from the corner shop.

This still happens, but only if you are far behind on your electricity bills, the supply company will eventually just say "ok, we will keep supplying you, but you must agree to have pre-paid meter installed at home". That way you can't be late on your payments anymore.

>>Another one: when I got my first check from my job at the time (working at a warehouse)

Wait....that was in the UK? And someone gave you a cheque? Those pretty much don't exist in the UK anymore, it's like an ancient relic of the past if you see one. The only situation when they are still used is for insurance payouts, for some reason the insurance companies still prefer to send you a cheque.
My,naive, impression as a none US and none Chinese citizen is that Google will abuse all the data they can get their hands on in order to make money.
Huawei on the other hand, may use your data in the way that best fits the Chinese goverment. This may of course be terrible if your an Chinese citizen doing things the goverment does not want you to do, but on the other hand as an European citizen I find it much less likely that the Chinese goverment will abuse my personal data than that Google will.

I would prefer to do things like getting my web server to work in stock Ubuntu where the instructions are all in English. To further help, everything on Stack Overflow is in English.

Harmony OS is a general purpose OS, I doubt that if I was trying to get the server version of it working that the finer points of the settings would be documented in English. On-going development might not be in English.

The commands used in programming languages are in English. 'strpos' might not be an English Word but it is still English. There isn't a Spanish/Russian/French or other language version of 'strpos'. Same with HTML. 'body' is always 'body' whatever the language the content of the page is.

I don't get your point.
Vuepress is indeed nice, and it's the most simple static site generator I have ever used. can't wait for the next stable release I am planning to develop many plugins for it :P
On the other hand they can put extreme margins for high-end hardware. So one high end device might be more profitable than 100 low end devices.
I don't believe for a second that buying a phone installed with HarmonyOS will ever be compelling to consumers. This is microkernel based, which makes me believe that it's not an AOSP fork, which means having compatibility with Android apps is not going to be straightforward. Think of the problems that Amazon has had filling their app stores with quality ports, and they are only selling tablets now because they are nearly giving them away for free, and also have tight integration with Amazon services, which some people like. PurityOS has a slight chance, but only if they can make it work within the niche audience that they are targeting. Microsoft couldn't make a phone OS work. Firefox couldn't make a phone OS work. It takes years to develop a catalog of apps. If Huawei were truly to be using this as a backup, they would need to start working on getting developers on their platform yesterday, not "in the future".
Thanks for this.

On your second point, from my personal experience (we investigated the scam when it was offered to us before avoiding it based on the bad smell it gave off), my instinct would be to disagree.

When we did the calculations, we would have been hundreds of pounds per week better off under the conditions of the scam than if we had paid tax directly as a contractor or under an umbrella company who reported the full salary as a salary. I don't have much doubt that these nurses and doctors didn't benefit financially by only paying [tax and NI on minimum wage + the slightly higher umbrella fee] rather than [tax and NI on their full salary + a smaller umbrella fee]. Although that's not to say that they thought what they were doing was shady, or even that they actively chose that particular umbrella company.

I dont see the benefit to the NHS either. If the NHS pays the contractor's salary of £1000/month (under subcontract conditions) to:

- Umbrella company A, who then subtracts a fee + withholds (for HMRC) NI and tax for minimum wage before paying the contractor minimum wage + a loan of whatever remains from the £1000

and

- Umbrella company B, who subtracts a fee + withholds NI and tax for the full salary before paying the contractor the remainder

My understanding is that to the NHS both scenarios look the same (a cost to them of £1000/month), but in scenario A the contractor and umbrella company (through their ability to charge a higher fee than their competitors and still attract clientele) benefit from money which otherwise would have gone to HMRC.
Agreed (my comment is mainly for the US because that's where a lot of HN users are) but the US is still a democracy and might assassinate people but generally doesn't murder you just for protesting.
I agree they look kinda cute but unless you're in a group of people who are also "dorks" or at least don't care enough to question it, you're probably not going to be taken very seriously.

As already mentioned in another discussion, the ratio they use for farmed fish is "where the first number is the mass of harvested fish used to feed farmed fish, and the second number is the mass of the resulting farmed fish".

Yeah. They don’t exist. People don’t think about things rationally, they see phrases like “black market” and assume it is some sort of criminal transaction with armed guards and meetings at midnight and shit.

It is nothing like that. It is the same as freelance development work, except there are very few customers and the developer writes something that may or may not have any value.
