The focus on vertical scale servers and FP performance was a mistake. Had they focused on single socket servers with INT performance the history might have been different. Also today’s compilers are much more capable so maybe Itanium was simply too early.

How did this bailout go so bad? At least in the US the government eventually (kind of) made money on its TARP program. Would be interested to know how the programs differed.

Not trying to suggest you can create structural change here, but just as a product of being an American consumer you have a larger power to reduce GHG emissions than most of the other 6.6 billion people on the planet.
There are studies that seem to show placebos 'working' even when you _tell_ people they are placebos. Placebos are weird.

But yeah, there could totally be a difference between twice-a-day intervention by a researcher who is in a good mood and optimistic about your recovery (and well-rested from going home every night from their prestigious and well-paid job), and a live-in relative who is exhausted and depressed from your state and from having had to leave much of their life to become a full-time live-in caretaker. Depressed about decline with company, indeed.

I think the point of the OP was that they don't want to have to memorise a whole bunch of new commands before they can be productive with their new editor.

This makes a lot of sense btw. Think of all the commands and shortcuts you need to know to be productive and quick in everyday programming work: OS shortcuts; terminal commands; git commands; IDE shortcuts; and now, a whole bunch of editor shortcuts _and_ commands.

And, does vim's interface help you very much with remembering what you should type in to do what? Sometimes, yes (:w(rite); :q(uit);: x(it); :w/q/x/a(ll); etc). Sometimes, not so much, no (hjkl wtf? :y? :o? Is that a smily face?).

And how much of that stuff in vimtutor are you going to use in the first week of use? 10%? 20%? 50%? The rest, you'll just forget immediately anyway. So that's half an hour that you probably can't afford and that you definitely don't need.

So taking it easy and not trying to learn a whole bunch of stuff you're not sure you need is very good advice.

Declarative programming expresses the logic of a computation without describing its control flow.

This new feature in PostgreSQL is a great example of that: generated columns (declarative logic) were introduced to reduce the need for triggers (imperative logic).

In SQL, declarative logic consists of constraints, indexes, views, and prepared statements. They can significantly increase the efficiency and reliability of the entire system. Imperative logic is mostly triggers and stored procedures, both of which can become hard to maintain and scale.
I don't _want_ to like this, but it definitely rings true for the place I moved to (Ireland). In my circle of friends I don't think the idea of starting a business has even come up - except for other Americans like myself, weirdly. So far as I can tell it just isn't that appealing since (for the moment) there are decent jobs and it's less hassle.

I don't know about other places in Europe but Tall Poppy Syndrome, "Notions", etc. is a big thing here - people should know their station, evidently.

UK is very different in this regard. This is why many EU companies actually register in UK. You have no compulsory NI nor NHS payments. If you want you can pay yourself a salary of 1GBP per month if you're a director.

Contrast that with Poland (and many other EU countries) where no matter if your company makes money or not you owe the tax man between $300-600 per founder or employee.
> We will improve the planet by doing multiple things.

The problem is that people don't have infinite time or attention. So if you raise awareness and guy buy-in for something like straws, you took away time and awareness from things that could have actually made a difference. To make things worse, people will eventually realize that getting rid of straws didn't have much impact and would be less likely to participate in future causes.
I'd argue the press has always chosen the political winners (sometimes by accident by always talking negatively about them) and facebook as the new kingmaker is not much different than hearst, gannett, murdoch or soros anointing someone. the main difference is facebook actually abandoning any cohesively human choice in who they pick, shifting blame/responsibility towards an algorithm they write and control but want to remain sentientish in its own ways. i do see some reckless abandon in letting mathematical output get a nearly final say vs just admitting to and owning the existence of editorial discretion.

its the same type of thing the press has been doing since forever, just more targeted. the change is in scale (both more macro AND more micro) not kind.
I see a lot of these hot deals in the US also. They eventually find someone. Likely not the most qualified someone.
Until those people--the ones who won't manage their investments on a web page--start to die off.

Then maybe all those branches will start to die back for fewer rare services that truly need in person presence.
Of course. Economic expansions don't last forever and the US has been expanding for 10+ years now, the longest expansion in our nation's history, so it's fair to say we're overdue for a recession.
That can't be the only reason, with every shrink power requirements have been reduced.
P4 had up to 115W TDP. The same frequency and raw power could probably be achieved on 15W today. But you can't get most current CPUs to run stable beyond 4GHz base clock, even with liquid cooling.
I guess it's better than nothing but that won't work if x is some temporary local variable instead of the long term storage location. It also won't help much if there are several pointers to the resource. As such I wonder if a macro is better that just explicitly nulling the pointer after free, at least there's no obfuscation of what's going on.

Generally I agree with you though, setting pointers to NULL after free is good practice and probably worth enforcing in the coding style.
I rather pointedly refuse to call the accumulation of capital in the hands of a small group of people "wealth". The fact that we use that notion of wealth as an index of how our societies are doing is part of the problem we have at the moment.

If you want to get technical, I'd suggest we scale the notion of wealth by the marginal utility of the additional capital given to an individual. Wealth is giving a person living paycheck to paycheck enough money to have leisure spend time with their kids.

Giving a billionaire another million dollars isn't wealth. They don't give a fuck about it except in the most abstract, brain-sick, anti-social sort of way.

I keep hearing about these famous salaries in Croatia as well but my impression is that most people get a starting monthly net salary of 1000€ after masters in CS or SDE. Then there's some people who interned during college which get salaries from 1200-2000€ after college depending on how much networking they did. Then there's like 1% of developers/scientists who make 2-5k€ by being able to somehow market them to some external big corps as specialists or consultants but most people including me do not know how to do this. Is your cousin doing remote work for some fancy company or is that by being a full time in a local company?

agree that we have to work on multiple things, but the point was that a disproportionate amount of resources are placed behind getting rid of something that is a drop in the bucket. it's not "should we get rid of A or B?" We agree it's A and B, but we need to focus on the thing that has the bigger impact first.

With a limited responsibility company, if it goes bankrupt its the company and not you personally.

Any debts would only go against company accounts and not your personal bank account.

I think the judge in some cases could still hold you accountable depending on lots of factors, but for most cases the debts of the company would not go over to you (AFIK).
I can't recommend Crete enough. Spent out 2nd part of honeymoon there last month, its big, variable, great food, overall cheap, great history, the weather is milder compared to many other Greek islands and even in September the sea had 26 degrees.

I first heard about this while in Europe, and I was really confused by it. As an American it seems like a trivial thing to worry about. But it's really just because of different infrastructures and space issues.

In the US if you want to travel across the country, your options are flying, or driving like 35 hours each way. So flying is a no brainer, no matter how much you care about the environment. Europe has those super cheap Ryanair flights and I can definitely see how one could look on those as wasteful when you could easily substitute your 30 minute flight for a 90 minute train ride, or just reasonably drive to a different country without having to stay overnight in a hotel halfway there.

I think that's part of why Greta Thunberg's message doesn't resonate as strongly over here as it should. Many Americans see her commitment to not flying on airplanes and think of it as kind of a silly and trivial hill to die on - but in Europe it makes a lot more sense as a practical matter.
Because the entire idea of "insufficient entropy" past an initialization amount is a cargo culted fantasy.

In the Linux kernel view of the world, /dev/random "loses" 1 bit of entropy for every bit that gets read.

That is not how cryptographic and hashing primitives work, if it were it would be dangerous to use an AES key to encrypt more than a few megabytes for example.
What do you mean when you want to be an entrepreneur? What makes you tick? Do you want to discover talent, help fund ideas, work on the ground level within a company? There are plenty of really useful things that have been built in Europe in and out of tech where you could facilitate in these kinds of roles. I don't see how you can't be an entrepreneur in the EU, unless an entrepreneur to you is to have loads of money and to perform vapid pr stunts for the next fad.

Spotify, Tom Tom, City mapper, runtastic, factorio, World of tanks, transfer wise, todoist, telegram are all examples of businesses which have emerged from the European economic region and the EU itself for example.
That's the thing with limited attention, instant gratification economy.

This is a plague, these limited attention gratification is not limited to these platforms themselves and are being exploited successfully for pushing misinformation by various nefarious elements including but not limited to political parties.

Interesting, people don't talk about this much, although the OP seems to be aware of it and think it was important.

Does anyone know if there's been much written on how this came to be and what it looked like? If not, it would be a useful thing to write about!

Cause it does seem like a really important thing, without it, the narrative seems to be that you make a decree like Bezos', and bing bang magic, you get what AWS got. Where in fact, succesfully pulling off that RPC framework seems to be really important, and undoubtedly took a lot of work, good succesful design, and social organizing to get everyone to use it (perhaps by making it the easy answer to Bezos' mandate). But none of that stuff just happens, some have failed where AWS succeeded, the mandate alone isn't enough.

I highly recommend Co-working Bansko (https://coworkingbansko.com/).

It's a mountain ski village in the south of Bulgaria, there is an abundance of modern style flats which sit mostly vacant in the summer months, as well as the charming old town, this makes accommodation very affordable (much cheaper than the capital, Sophia).

Cost of a small studio flat is about 350 BGN per month, a lunch is about 5 BGN, a large dinner about 12 BGN.

There's about 100 members in Coworking Bansko and has two locations in Bansko, one close to the Ski lift (convenient in the Winter if you like to Snowboard/Ski) the other in the Old Town. A third site is underway in a building where many coworkers own their own flats (flats are cheap to purchase outright).

TESTIMONY ON HOW I GOT MY LOAN FROM THIS GREAT COMPANY AS A SINGLE
Mother (prudentfinancialservice1@gmail.com)

Hello Everyone, my name is Mrs Angela Kike. i am from Hong Kong, I'm here to share a great testimony on how i got a loan from Prudent Financial Service. things were so rough for me and my family when i couldn't pay up my bills, After i lost my husband in an auto crash. I tried getting a loan from my bank and some other credit union i visited but i was denied loan access. I had to take my children to live with my parents cause i couldn't take care of them due to my present situation, i was all alone in the street. Until a day i shamefully walked into an old school mate who introduced me to Logan Bryan a God fearing lender after explaining to her all I've been through At first i told her that i wasn't ready to take a risk of requesting a loan online, but she assured me that i will received my loan from them. On a second thought i had to take a trial and applied for the loan, luckily for me i received a loan of $100,000.00 from PRUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICE I'm happy today cause my family is reunited I'm glad i took the risk and applied for the loan, now i own a home and a business of my own. All thanks and gratitude goes to god and PRUDENT FINANCIAL SERVICE for giving me a meaning to life when i had lost all hope. If currently your'e seeking for a loan assistance, you can reach to their email: prudentfinancialservice1@gmail.com.
So? It's clearly beneficial for the average user.

Yes. We’re all used to free checking now, but it wasn’t always that way. No fee credit cards with cash back are also a result of competition and lower costs.
I've lived near the sea most of my life and have always been exposed to very fresh fish.

To me (perhaps not you) it smells like death.

As an aside - I remember reading some thing a few years ago about 'supertasters' and there was a checklist that i went through that implied I had a particularly acute sense of smell. Probably bullshit, but perhaps it's something to do with that.

I really wish I could enjoy fish - as a meat it looks wonderful, but I simply cannot stand the stuff.

That has the peripheral benefit of allowing me to be smugly pious when it comes to the subject of over-fishing and depleted stocks, etc..
The question is how much of this is pure marketing, given Intel's supply problems, and how much is this a real product.

Absolutely its cultural. There is a huge difference in attitudes to success and wealth. In America everyone is working hard and the more money you make you more "successful" you are. In Europe people would rather be a well educated regular middle class secure job than work 80+ hours a week and buy a huge house. You probably can't even buy a huge house because planning regulations prohibit it. Europeans would rather be a broke well-educated artist than a rich hardworking entrepreneur. TBH with good holidays and secure safety net I'd probably do the same.

China has higher emissions per capita than places like (nuclear-powered) France even though France has much higher standard of living. (And before you say it's because of China's exports, it's not... only about 20% of China's emissions are export-related.)

It's not wealth and population, it's the use of fossil fuels (primarily) and, to a lesser extent, ruminants (cows, sheep, etc... both methane emissions from gut bacteria and land-use for grazing). We can have ~10 billion people at US standards of living if we solve the technopolitical problems that keep us on fossil fuels.
> we need to focus on the thing that has the bigger impact first

Why is this, why wait to solve the fishing net problems before taking other measures?

I see this line of thought a lot here in Hacker News, especially in topics related to climate change for example.

These things can and should be tackled in parallel at the same time. We can all take responsibility personally, how about trying to use less single-use plastics, buy in local grocery shops more with reusable bags, and stop eating fish?

We can all do that, we don't need to wait for some international fishing committee to decide for years on what is the best way to change the rules on how nets can be made or handled.

You know what's funny? ed is the standard text editor. Not vim. Not emacs. Not nano. ed.

So you should count yourself lucky that you can use vim on your headless servers -as I can, and I do count myself lucky, because I have seen the horrors of trying to edit files with ed, on Z/Os, inside TSO, on a mainframe. And it was not cute and cuddly like mistakingly retrieving xa! on the command line in vim and pressing enter, when you're not done yet with your changes and you don't have a copy. It was much, much worse.
