> last I heard Ocaml had an issue with being single threaded.

OCaml is single-threaded, yes, but in practice that's not a big deal. There's a great concurrency library (Lwt) and the recently-added monadic (and applicative) bind syntax makes it look almost like sequential code. And if you really need a separate OS thread, there are ways to do that :-)

Last I checked, Swift still does concurrency mostly with Node-style callbacks.
Starting about three years ago, I taught myself to build sites with Kitura, and got pretty far with it. As someone who has been paying the bills entirely with PHP since 2007, I loved the strong typing and great tooling, and I was hoping to get in on the ground floor and establish myself as an expert so I could get scooped up by an early adopter, or (gasp) maybe even IBM themselves. But those opportunities never materialized, and I got discouraged about a year ago after IBM made the baffling decision to release a new version of their database library, Kuery, which made it unusable in any non-asynchronous way (barring silly hacks), which doesn't really make sense in terms of web development. Sure, you could still use other database libraries instead, but then you're out of the IBM ecosystem. It was a weird decision and one has to wonder if IBM was eating their own dog food.

At any rate, I'd love to get back into it one of these days, but for now, PHP projects have paying clients, so that's still what I focus on. I would also like to see Swift get more "official" attention outside of Ubuntu; specifically I want it on the BSDs, though of course other Linux distros deserve it too. I'll gladly use Ubuntu if a client pays me to, though.
I never came across Mondo 2000 but your comment puts me in mind of Omni magazine, which I have sketchy memories of pooring over in the library in the 90s.
If you're interested, it's also worth looking at Erin Kenny's book "Forest Kindergardens: The Cedarsong Way." She founded the first one in the Seattle area out on Vashon Island and has been the model for the others that have sprung up since then.

My wife couldn't find one on Bainbridge Island where we until recently lived, so she just started an all weather outdoor group herself. People showed up in the summer and fall. In the middle of winter it was often just her and our two kids in full rain gear splashing around the beaches.

I wish someone would make a definitive meta study where they take the median wage for a country and poll women there if they require a higher income from potential partners before considering marriage.

From what I have seen those poll numbers tend to stay the same regardless of the median income in any given country, which implies that practical aspects is simply an rationale to explain an already made decision. If practical reasons was the primary cause we would expect to see a higher poll numbers in low income countries and a significant lower poll number in countries with high median income and strong well fare system. With free medical care, guarantied housing and food, the risks are reduced and thus preventative measures like only seeking good providers should be of relative lower importance.

Right, because those vendors were smart enough to add support for Android auto and carplay and leave it to Google and apple.

I have a model y on order, but if they can't figure out infotainment soon I'll likely cancel it. I spend way too much time driving to deal with garbage infotainment.
Great idea. Can you enforce it in PR checks?
Yeah, what's considered high-end does shift, although that still sounds higher end than most laptops. I think a typical "high-end" desktop is one that has more cores, memory channels, and PCIe lanes than a typical "mainstream" desktop (whatever that happens to be at the time). Support for ECC memory is also sometimes a requirement.

I use a 3 year-old laptop with 32GB of RAM, an SSD, and a dual-core i7 (U-series) processor. It's reasonably efficient. I think the amount of RAM and the IO speed of my SSD remove most of the hardware bottlenecks I face.

However, I would like compile times to be faster, I do sometimes notice applications hanging, and IntelliJ (we use Java at work) seems limited on how many projects I can run efficiently in a single workspace. I'm just wondering whether a workstation-grade laptop (Dell Precision or Thinkpad P-series) would be a sufficient upgrade, or investing in a desktop would be worthwhile at some point.

In such specific situation, EU law is quite clear and right to be forgotten does not apply. Since its in public interest.

It would only apply in case it was later found that rapist was framed and then exonerated. In such case he could claim right to be forgotten, to get all of old false articles removed.

This is slightly outside of the 1993 to 1995 range—being December 1996—but I think the best story ever in Wired might be "Mother Earth, Mother Board" (by Neal Stephenson, about the laying of the FLAG undersea fiber optic cable).

Unfortunately, the online copy no longer has the images!

Edit: I just noticed that Stephenson gives GPS fixes to absurd precision (10 microarcminutes, or about 1.6 cm—on the ocean with a civilian GPS receiver in 1996, before GPS Selective Availability was turned off).

> I have set up the same blog maybe 3 times and I always stop posting because I need to be in my coding environment to do so

I had a similar problem and solved it with Forestry[0] and Netlify. Forestry has a nice web interface for writing posts; saving causes the changes to be committed to a GitHub repo. Netlify[1] watches the repo and rebuilds/redeploys the blog.

It sounds a bit complicated, but I've run this setup for 9 months now without any serious issues. To write and publish a new post, all I need to do is: login to Forestry, write the damn thing, and hit "save". The cost is $0.

I wonder if you can install any linux app on it, like Wireshark, Gimp, Inkscape, LibreOffice apps, Blender, desktop Firefox and Chromium (with Web Inspector and extensions!), etc. At least, what I understand by a "linux phone" is one whose window manager is specialized for phones, and that has a few apps with their interfaces specialized for phones, but that can install and use any linux app like on any other linux machine. If they would clarify this, I think it would boost people's motivations in buying this.

I also wonder how one might go about changing the OS. Would it support live-USBs via OTG? or booting from the microSD? Do they offer an ISO of PureOS to reinstall? I wonder how difficult/easy it would be to do a normal Archlinux ARM installation, like on any other computer.

The marketing seems to focus on privacy, and being fully open source, and buying for the community benefit of promoting better tech in the market. However, if it's a "linux phone" that can run any linux app and even easily lets you run whatever distro you want, then there are practical, personal benefits to buying this, too. It wouldn't be instantly obsolete like so many people are saying.

And if the window manager and phone apps they made are distributed separately, then one can install their favorite distro, and install those programs, getting the same look and usability on their favorite distro.

I only found this secondary-source article[1] from a couple years ago that says it would support booting most distros, but is there anything official?

Interestingly, a lot of open-source companies have built defensible businesses -- a list is over at http://oss.cash. Recent IPOs include Mulesoft, Elastic, Mongo, Fastly...

More specifically to Gatsby, we don't actually see ourselves in the hosting business, more in the "collaboration" business -- most websites have teams of nontechnical folks that are reviewing sites before they go live, creating and editing content, and so on. We're building Gatsby-specific collaboration tooling, starting with CMS Preview.

A good comparison here would be Github -- nobody thinks of Github as "Git hosting", they think of Github as the place where developers collaborate together on projects.
or as Objective C:

[[NSFileManager defaultManager] copyItemAtPath:src toPath:target error:&error];

Inspired by smalltalk, of course. ObjC's verbosity is legendary, and I'm not its hugest fan, but there's a key innovation here that I am a huge fan of: the language forces other people to name their arguments, in much the same way that python forces other people to indent their code, even if they would otherwise default to making a hot mess of things.
Well, after I drove one I liked it even less. But if some people enjoy paying Mercedes prices for Yugo quality, all the power to them. Although regularly driving into firetrucks costs us as taxpayers money. But then fleecing taxpayers is the major part of Tesla's marketing anyway.
This update is about more than just improvements while parked and it at least partially addresses two of your complaints.

Of course nothing is perfect. I'm happy if it smart enough most of the time.

But at very least its not hard to imagine situation where its safe to drive on a wrong way in a parking lot. For example an empty parking lot.

Even when another car show up and block it, meh not a big deal, its unlikely that the car will hit the other car.
The rumor is that there is a patent for speed sign recognition that Tesla refuses to pay money for.
Ask HN: Why does writing code physically hurt my brain?
I come from a traditional hardware / os level "Sysadmin" background. Over the past 4, maybe 5 years I've been having to write (and interact with) more and more code, and it literally clouds my brain, makes me very agitated, and makes me physically feel like I've had a seizure

At work we're moving from one cloud provider to another, and the new cloud provider is pretty much "scripting only" for administration.

Trying to work through the certification materials for said cloud provider, and it's literally got me feeling like I want to jump off a cliff due to their confusing syntax, and general wonkiness. At least with Linux, there's man pages, and the -h --help, etc. flags

So, to get to my point, how are non-developers making the switch to this "infra as code" paradigm without giving themselves a stroke?
Totally agree. Follow the money will never be un-true.
IntelliJ labels the parameter at the call site with its parameter name, if its value isn't a local variable that already has that name. On your display it looks like CopyFile(from: "foo", to: "bar"), with the from and to labels in an unobtrusive font, but in the source file it's just CopyFile("foo", "bar").
My company provides a pretty standard laptop, but they rarely have more than 2 cores.

In native app development, Android Studio and Xcode are severely bottlenecked by 2 cores. The difference between my laptop and my Mac Mini (6 cores) is astounding.

The difference between a build taking 6x minutes and 1x minutes is more than just 1/6 because it goes from "Well, guess I'll check email/messenger/HN real quick." to taking a sip of coffee.

It also gets real bad when your IDE is forced to fight with your browser, email client, etc. Then you're forced to do nothing, lest your casual actions further slow down your local build.

Usually the "breaking point" is when builds take more than 5 minutes, but especially when they take more 30+ mins.
This will escalate the impact of trolls on news articles. Currently, a well-received article might have hundreds or thousands of Likes and Loves, next to a 3-5 Laughs from those wishing to troll/deride the content. At least now you can click and see what the distribution is and verify yes, its just a few trolls. With this change, a single troll would surface a laugh which is seemingly on par with the other reactions. It's a poor metric, but this makes it worse.

I don't know what to tell you. You are free to Google it and see that it is pretty universal that many traffic laws don't apply in private parking lots (it obviously depends on jurisdiction). That doesn't mean you can't be ticketed for driving recklessly or endangering/injuring people, it just means it is fundamentally legally different than driving on a freeway.

> Because they did not have emulation ready early on, they resorted to using the open-source Verilator simulator which they say managed to run 50 times faster than commercial simulators. “We used Verilator extensively to prove our design is very good,” said Venkataramanan, Sr Director Autopilot Hardware at Tesla.

That's consistent with my experience as well. Simulating with a message-passing simulator (ie, most commercial simulators) isn't even remotely as fast as using Verilator.

Yeah, I sometimes will be running a dozen or so docker containers, although the CPU utilization on those tends not to be very high - RAM is the main bottleneck for me. However, I also don't typically leave those running. I just spin them up when I need to for testing. I'm not sure how fast my other applications would run if I left those up.
Yes! I feel that too.

Recently, I moved from the Bay Area to midwest city where family and some friends live, and have a 3 week old.

TCP hardware acceleration is generally pretty minimal. The common features are checksum offload and segmentation offload. Checksum offload should generally work for UDP, and I believe that a good UDP implementation can get much of the benefit of segmentation offloading.

How often does it break your computer?
I am working on a project right now where I am rendering atmospheric effects (lots of clouds). Even on a 12-core workstation, it takes a very long time to render a single frame to even be able to get a good idea as to what things will look like, so I'm doing a lot of changing something, waiting… changing something, waiting.

Most of the final rendering can be offloaded to a farm, but being able to quickly and interactively get a good idea of what something will look like is extremely helpful and time-saving. Right now, I'm doing some of the work on an EC2 instance with 48 cores (96 vCPU) to help with this—cost-effective for occasional use, but I can certainly see the appeal of a machine like this. And for task like compositing where you need access to a bunch of huge source files, or where maybe you have a specialized video I/O device you need to use, running in the cloud might not be practical at all.

(Throwaway account)

I used to work for a third-party service provider that merchants send this sort of data to for lots of users. Considering there weren't lots of customers using this provider making similar posts, and Doordash didn't call out the provider, it wouldn't surprise me if a Doordash employee account with that provider got compromised. The blog post was carefully worded to not throw the provider under the bus, but also avoid taking blame, themselves.

The telling bit is that the last four digits of credit card numbers were sent. There are only a few types of vendors you'd send that data to.

My Model S can and it has AP1. It's very good at this. Has it ever made a mistake. Not that I'm aware and I've checked a lot. I'll see a speed limit sign and as I pass it, the speed limit sign on the drivers console will update.
You take on the risk when you pre-pay for services you haven't yet recieved. By law you are also a creditor just like a bond holder.

Similarly when you eat at a restaurant and pay at the end the restaurant is providing you credit. Most people don't think of it this way because the transactions go smoothly and the distinction is irrelevant. But it does affect what rights you have if something were to go wrong.

These days with the transitive nature of people, islands are going to have boats going to them frequently enough proportionally to the people on them such they can deliver goods cheaper.

Information is wireless, the original reason for rocket mail I assume.

Even reducing it to something sensible like an art project for a Burning man style event, firing a burrito (Search burrito cannons) 1 km away could still knock someone off their bike and hurt them plus it'd be inaccurate due to wind, rising heat, so a pointless project.

You could of course fire vertically, expand out, then glide the delivery in accurately or parachute it down with guidance but you'd lose the delivery vehicles electronics = $.

Maybe pick up, clip in clip out electronics to reuse at the end of the night across town, have a deposit for the buyer and reward for the collector.
It really does. You've got to remember that a good SotA paper takes hundreds of training runs, at least.

I can't go into detail about budgets, but suffice to say if you think $1M is a university compute budget that lets you be a competitive research team on the cutting edge, you are __severely__ underestimating the amount of compute that leading corporate researchers are using. Orders of magnitude off.

On-prem is good for a bit until you're 18 months into your 3 year purchase cycle and you're on K80s while the major research leaders are running V100s and TPUs and you can't even fit the SotA model in your GPUs' memories any more.

Longer to train can mean weeks or even months for one experiment - that iteration speed makes it so hard to stay on the cutting edge.

And this is before considering things like neural architecture search and internet scale image/video/speech datasets where costs skyrocket.

The boundary between corporate research and academia is incredibly porous and a big part of that is the cost of research (compute, but also things like data labelling and staffing ML talent).
