Sure but if HTTP/3 adds significant processor overhead compared to prior versions and the user isn't getting a noticeable benefit from this cost, they're not going to like it and it sort of seems like a pointless waste of effort.
> The octopus has a central brain and also an independent, smaller processor in each arm, giving it a unique mixture of centralized and distributed command.

This is the most interesting part. I read that an octopus's brain can give their arms high-level commands, and the arms can execute some commands by themselves.
Well I agree if you mean “hackable open system”, but I meant it as “product which I agree with ideologically even if the specific user experience is sometimes inferior”.
I’m currently running a VM with a GPU passed through and moonlight on my Mac for gaming. It’s really nice, my old MPB isn’t doing any real work so it easily lasts for hours if on battery, and the VM doesn’t eat up all the resources on my server so I’m free to do whatever I want to with everything else.

My only real issue is I occasionally get slowdowns while playing which causes things to stutter. This is most like partly to blame on using WiFi for the Mac and partly to blame on using only a single port NIC for the server.
I'm not sure why people are downvoting you. I hate this feature on HN. I cant even read what you said.
Integrating Autoconversion: Facebook’s Path from Zawgyi to Unicode

Web Dev. Going from a 2015 MBP to the new touchbar model, my cold build times were cut in half. Other than, saving 15 seconds once per day, I noticed nothing.
I just upgraded from a 2700X to a 3900X. Maybe it’s not quite HEDT but its closer, and my god, it’s literally mind blowing. I measured a 47% wall clock improvement on a test compilation. If you compile lots of C++ you are in for some serious surprises. Especially so if you are doing things that cross-cut hundreds of C++ packages at once, it basically enables things that aren’t possible on, say, a mid range laptop.

That said, if you are just running simple Go or Rust compilations, or small single-package C++ compilations, caching and a decent processor should be good enough, and you probably won’t benefit much from a lot of threads. (You may want it for your Webpack builds still ;)

One tip: scale up your RAM, pay attention to clocks and latency relative to your processor (especially with AMD where it really matters.) 16 GB is easy to kill when you are running 24 instances of GCC and a VM or two.
I switched my personal Jekyll site to Gatsby 2 years ago. I ran into some minor bugs and even contributed 3 PRs that got merged. I loved working with it for a few weeks. Two months after switching, it too dawned on me how over-engineered it is. I switched off of it to a custom static site generator I made (admittedly it was also over-engineered), but I'm finally back to a simple static generator called zola [1] and it feels so refreshing.

Not only is Gatsby over-engineered, it's also bloated IMO. I think one of their main selling points it that page loads seem instant. Preloading other pages in the background seems needless to me when we're talking about a simple blog. Sure, it might be good for apps, but forcing my (few) visitors to download needless mbs on desktop or mobile seems like a bad user experience to me.

I had a YC startup invite me to work for them for a week, for which they paid me a decent sum of money. I was able to push a decent amount of code, considering the onboarding process was “here’s a laptop with the repo and some basic tools on it.” They did not hire me.

At the risk of sounding conspiratorial, I suspect that the recent trend of social media platforms hiding engagement metrics has less to do with fighting 'envy' than simply allowing for more authentic looking proliferation of promoted content. I came to this conclusion from using Instagram after their recent change to hide 'likes'. Even more conspiratorially, I imagine it also helps the platform hide and demote content that is ideological unfavourable or competitive to the platform.
That's a good point. I'm only thinking in terms of Twitter celebrities (both the real-life and only-on-Twitter variety). But for more average users who regularly tweet and discuss controversial (or otherwise troll-attracting) topics, and get a moderate number of good and trash replies, this feature would likely be a good quality-of-life improvement for their followers.
> Why should it be 28 days?

You must be an employer ;)

A few reasons I like at least 28 days: You get to truly disconnect/recharge, prevents burnout, I get to spend more time with friends and family, my stress/anxiety and general mental health are improved, I get to _actually_ travel. I could go on.

11 days over the entire year gives me time for what? Not much.

> On average it is only 11 days

In the US. That's also one of the worst averages in the the industrialized world and the US is one of the only nations to not set a minimum for PTO[0]

Really, I think it's missing the point to frame it as a tool for silencing critics with dissenting opinions, instead of a tool for silencing people who want to call you an ${inflammatory_statement} in your thread about a cake you baked today.

Apple is already facing antitrust actions regarding its walled garden. I doubt apple would be eager to give authorities more ammunition.

Alternative app stores will likely come to ios in one form or another. I think the smarter reaction would be for apple to offer an official API so that it can remain somewhat in control.
A year ago customers were complaning that their accounts were accounted despite using an unique password to DoorDash. DoorDash at that time denied any hacking incidents.

A more sinister explanation is that DoorDash knew back then who is leaking their data and removed their access. But chose to disclose only just now.
I do, I really like it. Current uptime, ~90 days, got everything the way I like it with i3... I can have hundreds of tabs open in various browsers, I've got 9 workspaces with various projects and things in them and a 4k display.

There's been a lot of thought at Weights & Biases about the tradeoff between competition and collaboration. Competition certainly fosters activity, but it encourages behaviors like ensembling everything to eek out a few more hundredths of a percent. This benchmark isn't incentivized in any way other than "let's drive the field forward", so we may see less of that behavior.

We've considered benchmarks that proceed in phases: a closed competitive phase for 3 months, then award a prize to the top result, and another prize for best user writeup. Follow that by a collaborative phase where it's more about sharing, teamwork etc. Rinse and repeat.

The question of attribution is really interesting. Who made the largest contribution to the development of a model? It could have actually happened in a hallway conversation, or something equally as untrackable. We'd love to hear other peoples' thoughts on this.

It is still not shipping so there's not really a reason not to use a Threadripper for lower price AND higher performance. Or even Epyc chips. We know the Titan Ridge Thunderbolt controllers work on AMD motherboards. Alpine Ridge had firmware problems but Titan Ridge is fine.

That verbosity isn't even a big deal as you write once, but read many times.

One of the first things about Swift that I fell in love with was the difference between things like DrawRect(10, 20, 30, 40) in languages like C#, and DrawRect(at: origin, width: 30, height: 40) in Swift.
This is wild, but I definitely see this being a thing. Already YouTube allows hiding like/dislike counts, and its used frequently when a company puts out a video that is overwhelmingly disliked, but people who are new to the content wouldn't know.

I use an 8-core iMac Pro with 64GB RAM; it’s wonderful.

When I bought it I was doing some embedded device work involving a Windows VM, as well as heavy web dev on a frontend JS app and a backend app with tons of Chrome tabs open. All these things crave memory, and my 16GB MacBook Pro was swapping itself to death. This was pre-32GB MacBook Pros, so I bit the bullet and couldn’t be happier with the setup. It’s dead silent basically no matter what I do and doesn’t get thermally throttled during heavy workloads. Having the extra RAM also makes a huge difference.

Now that I’m doing more regular web dev on an Elixir & React app, I benefit from the 16x parallel compilation & test suite, as well as the ability to keep basically anything open without resource issues.

Do you think it can be used as some sort of metric? Like ratio of followers:blocked replies? Or the number of accounts which block a person's replies?
Whether it's in plain sight depends on whether subjects consented to the search.
You don't want it unlabeled in the source code though - a code reviewer will totally miss a swapping of parameters. It's best when fully supported and explicit in the language.

> Can we please stop with ridiculous BS about evil shortsellers?

Have you been living under a rock? I didn't even know about the insane short interest and the countess $TSLAQ Twitter trolls until I became a Tesla owner. Which is apparently been there since the early days.

Is it BS because it does not fit your narrative? or is it a baseless claim? If so, can you please cite sources?

> Would you believe that it's martians spreading "fud" about Tesla, if Elon says so?

Is that your attempt at insulting my intelligence? I look at everything objectively... I typically stay quiet if I don't know enough on a particular topic or don't have anecdotes.
The other thing that is often odd is they place an ad for a position and list very specific domain knowledge and they say 'before we will consider you, you need do this arbitrary four hour on line coding test'. Here in Sydney we have a couple of trading firms complaining they can't get staff. I often think now, being able to confidently do the job needed very well, is not a primary requirement. When I say well, I mean, well coded, well documented, good design, not just able to solve the algorithm at hand. Are we short of good programmers or do we have to many?
This is especially egregious on mobile because it's much harder to point at anything accurately with your finger.
> One of my coworkers went to India for three weeks and only took about a week off.

Sounds less than ideal. I feel bad that he wasn't able to take all 3 weeks off and fully enjoy his time there.

Sounds like a great place/way to work

> I relocated out of town for a whole summer, stayed with my parents and worked remotely when we were literally between homes - our lease was up, we were waiting for a house to be built, and my wife doesn’t work during the summer (she works in education.)

I can't imagine why anybody would consider this controversial in the least. Id we are living in an attention economy where anybody is allowed to make a small debit from your account at will. Giving people more tools to manage those debits should be lauded.
twiiter is going into history as the utmost failure of human communication. How such a crippled way of communication (limited characters and structure) combined with such childish disregard to discourse (blocking and shadow banning) could form a platform for "discussions" of important topics like social change and politics, I'll never know.
I think they should include Apple Care for their professional equipment. This won't put any any more money in Apple's pocket but I could see it being another differentiator and a good bit of PR, especially to all of those price arguments. Plus, it's only $300 and I'm sure Apple could suffer that "loss" on a $6,000 - $30,000 purchase.
Yeah that’s quite a bit dicier. I did assume you had done the actual development. Copyright on visual presentation is much more difficult to argue your case with.
No, because

But the database that police use is GEDMatch, which doesn't have an "exec," because it's a not-for-profit operation - it's run by volunteers and has no staff.

I don't like that because if you put in an email address it doesn't reveal whether you've already addressed the issue or not. It just shows if it was included in a breach, great for newbs to go "ooOOOooooOOoo" but useless for anything else.

I also alias email addresses for every service that allows a + sign in the email field, so now I have no way to notice quickly if the email was included in a leak. But I do have a way to know which service got breached or sold info if I start getting additional emails to any particular alias.
I'm missing something from the picture I guess, but what service they offer for 50 bucks/month if you could host your static page built with Gatsby literaly anywhere for much less / free?

pretty soon when the technology exists to read minds remotely, police will have an equally efficient and less intrusive way to find suspects, similar to this... if we treat our DNA like public photographs, its only a matter of time before we treat our mind like public photographs...
Yeah, basically this. There’s other solutions to the issue, like forwarding mail from the sender’s address to the trash, that achieve the goal of stopping the intrusion of email into an inbox. It also achieves it politely, without causing people distress, wasting your own time, cyberstalking people, nor does it involve being a dick.
There was a day when folks seemed to try to have Netiquette, they would find friendly ways to behave towards each other, and interactions with people of the Internet did not not feel like a race to the bottom of common courtesy.

I don't really like Gatsby's product, but I've got to admit that their business strategy makes a lot of sense. It's a pretty good three-step approach:

1. Convince the WordPress/enterprise crowd to switch over, both by touting the genuine benefits of static sites (security, scalability, TTFB performance, etc.) and by riding the Cool Kid Front-End Stack hype train.

2. Lock them in with an overly-complicated framework and build pipeline that requires organizations invest a lot of resources into switching. (Gatsby gets most of this for free by building on top of the Cool Kid Stack's nine-thousand-package NPM lasagna.)

3. Sell their captive audience expensive solutions to problems they wouldn't have with other frameworks. (See e.g. another commentor's discussion of incremental builds.)

This strategy might not contribute much to society, but neither do a lot of other startups--what matters to investors is that it'll probably make them a lot of money, assuming they execute it correctly.
[NSCarpalTunnelSyndromeInducer induceCarpalTunnelSyndromeForProgrammer: ....]
I read the linked comment. While I appreciate that the time commitment on your side is significant, and that a large part of the interview is paid, I don’t think I’d be willing to spend 16-18 hours, plus 1-2 workdays onsite to get a job. That’s basically 3-4 entire work days. Round up a little for all the preliminary tests before you even get to the 16-18 hours, and you might as well call it a full work week.

What’s so compelling about your company that people are willing to put in 5x the time commitment to apply as for most other companies? I can literally do 4 rounds of “phone screen -> on-site” with other companies in that time. If I’m working, why would I want to blow 1/3 of my yearly vacation to go through one interview process?
There is open CL now which blender and other programs have started using. Hopefully the lack of nvidia cards in these mac pros means proprietary tech like cuda gets left behind.
Does it really matter? UKF & PF work quite well even without any IID RV requirements. Where can I learn more about this relationship in the aforementioned context?
This is some of the best writing advice I’ve read: straightforward and incredibly digestible. All while totally vindicating me for hating so many of the arbitrary style games I had to learn in school :)
> Development mode does not serve html files like production builds do. The site behaves differently in that mode, and some issues only happen in actual builds. When you encounter one such issue, the feedback loop becomes "full build for every change" == ~10min of waiting to try every single change. This is a HUGE productivity killer.

This got me so many times. I was frustrated enough that I set up a headless chrome prerenderer to snapshot my gatsby-built site before every single deploy just so I could verify the html diff to make sure my site looked correct still.

The trust issues alone were enough to make me switch off of it.

I'm not the type of person who makes things happen. Especially if I can now fail in a public and embarrassing way having told people my plans.

Probably that offline training is a significant boost to an intelligent creature's fitness function? (Where all mammals and quite a few other animals qualify as 'intelligent').

The more you can learn from that near-death experience without having another one, the less likely you are to become something's lunch.
I don’t think it’s arrogant, just realistic - if you aren’t interested in leaving your current job you probably aren’t going to no matter what the company trying to poach you does. So for them bend over backwards to convince you to interview is a waste of time.
