Ask HN: What is your work's programming computer spec/environment?
We're currently having an inside debate as to whether or not to invest in really high end desktop pcs or Xeon based virtualized servers (proxmox, vmware, etc) with shared storage and resources...

Edit: Assuming a ~100 employees environment, developing mostly C++
What I don't understand is comments like this. Be nicer. Don't automatically assume a project is worthless from a surface level understanding. You don't know what led to its creation.

Amazing service and proven help that has saved me and my family thank you RANSOM WARECREDIT, after seeing reviews of his good work I said to myself i should give him a try! Very happy with the results!!! I was able to remove negatives on my profile and my score raised high. This really works!!! Thank you [R A N S O M W A R E C R E D I T @ G M A I L . C O M +1 954 416 0322] you for all of your help!!
No way to restart the game - you'll have to reinstall :)
Speak for you own state or city. My city has no problem with sane development of single family homes, townhomes, condos/apartments and high rise housing.
Vegetables are hard to prepare, especially in a production setting. Of course it has to taste good, but also not turn to mush on the trip from the kitchen to the table. Meat, especially when started with sous vide portions, is much less critical of timing and other conditions.

It's a lot easier at home, and in fact, even heaps of vegetables can be quite good if they're fresh and prepared to your taste.

With one vegetarian in the household, we eat great at home, but restaurants are always a coin toss.
It's slow.
Dr Jordan Peterson warned us things like this would happen.

He was then de-platformed in the name of “diversity and inclusion” and no doubt my comment will be downvoted for similar reasons.
I don't know Rust (though I'm familiar with Java & C) and there's nothing obvious about Box. In fact, I'm just learning from your comment that it means optional.
Good question! My plan is essentially to ask them politely to not. :)

There is a soft limit of 5 GB per subdomain. Once a user hits that limit I'll send them a notification about the limit and eventually take some action like asking them to remove data or moving them to a monthly or metered plan.

It's still a bit of an experiment right now, and I may find that I need to adjust that limit. Thanks for asking! I appreciate the feedback.
Dimes a month, then? It's not a business-relevant amount of money, is the point.
Do you remember the time when Uber run over a pedestrian?

It’s pretty reasonable to regulate 2 metric tons steel bodies moving among fragile creatures.

According to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/O(1)_scheduler

> The O(1) scheduler was used in Linux releases 2.6.0 thru 2.6.22 (2003-2007), at which point it was superseded by the Completely Fair Scheduler.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Completely_Fair_Scheduler

> The fair queuing CFS scheduler has a scheduling complexity of O(log N), where N is the number of tasks in the runqueue. Choosing a task can be done in constant time, but reinserting a task after it has run requires O(log N) operations, because the runqueue is implemented as a red-black tree.
> Nice UX or freedom - the big corporates will always win the battle of UX. Free software will always be less cool.

The big corporations will probably always win the battle of new and shiny. But free software can win the battle of UX, if we stop chasing the tail of the fashion de jour of UI design from big corporations.

Image how much more free software could do for users it we didn't waste all our efforts trying to match the looks of the big corp. software.

For me, software that do more, is more cool.
You might find that the tale is about money changers who changed various things into shekels so that the client could then pay the temple tax [1]. I don't think that line of business is connected with usury, unless you look at making a market in an item using a bid-ask spread as selling a cake and charging separately for its consumption [2].

Thanks for the perspective, I will openly admit that my understanding of freedom of speech is lacking/different than others' understanding.

I think what's interesting is the idea behind. Either your example or my example of freedom of speech is purely political, which we must recognize.

Let's take a step back and consider a company. The management sets up an orderly system (or so they think). If the company is progressing well, everyone is working towards a common goal, would there be a need to have people standing up to voice their opinions to influence others which they can't even claim righteousness to? Sure it's freedom, but I'm sure less would need it. When the company goes downhill however, and people want to uprise and cause a change, this is where having this freedom appears to be a necessity.

I think inherently there is a discussion hidden here somewhere between order and chaos. And with everything being a spectrum, we must recognize that the level of "freedom" people will need, and people should have will also need to vary depending on the current state of existence.

To many of those in China who do not wish to practice in politics, especially since the Communist has produced an unprecedented growth in the last decade, little are finding a need for such a level of "freedom". Sure this system will not be perpetual functional. When the economic growth slows or when China becomes a super power level entity, global clashes causes ideology shifts and needs, China may need to continually seek a structural shift in its own pace.

What's being preached often in the western world however, is a utilization of a "lack of freedom of speech" as a weaponry towards an uprising China that will threaten US's dominance. There is nothing wrong with that, it's only a bit hypocritical that's all, but thus is politics.

I think what's important is that, if HK must feel like they will need the fight, then I respect the fight and wishes them best on achieving what they can. Though I do at the same time wish for a peaceful resolution versus a degraded society after an endless fight to achieve a perceived ideal ideology. I have friends in HK and I definitely wish for them to prosper.
No, I’m saying that the fake trading volume sets the price which then determines the number of bitcoin sent in the real transactions. Since nothing is priced in BTC the exchange rate defines the quantities transacted.
Why should they? If you increase the supply of housing, it puts downward pressure on rent. Am I missing something?
Apps and services have to add this support in, it's not something Apple can do on their own.

It is available as part of iOS 13, yes but it will take time.
Just adding "Wordpress" and "Pocket Yoga" to this list.

Wordpress is a good example of a service with a web implementation as well to try from the browser.
One of the points of eavesdropping is that the target is unaware of it, which enables the police to gather more evidence about more people.

E2E is not required for privacy. There is also a difference between privacy and the right to privacy, and a guarantee that no-one will ever be able to know what I'm doing.

There is no absolute, including absolute right. It's all about balance: We have a right to privacy but the police may search our homes and eavesdrop on our communications in strict, specific circumstances because that's in the public interest. The idea is simply to have the same online.

They explained the trade-offs in the original blog post. They had considered this class of security holes and had a contingency plan in case one would be detected. They simply executed that plan. I'd say they handled it very well.

the WWDC announcement said it would be mandatory starting in the spring. did that change?
Its because it doesn't make sense to move out, the real estate markets stagnation makes taking out a huge loan almost feel like indentured servitude.

why? Because it feels like your always working to pay off the landlord or the bank just so you can have somewhere to sleep. Even if you own it outright, property and taxes are 10k/y, now your paying $1k/m just to have a place to sleep before you can even spend money and work for the things that you want. The worst of it, is as prices go up there should be a huge push to build more to balance the market, but than you have all these huge artificial barriers to entry to build preventing that from happening.

So it makes sense to try to live with parents, make enough money to buy your house outright so at least than you have a chance to get out from indentured servitude.

To be honest most of us are just hoping the real estate market collapses, or these barriers to entry are overcome so that prices can drop because we are not willing to pay these prices which amount to servitude. Our refusal for this type of "life" is what causes a decreased in birth rates and growth in general in the economy.
Ask HN: What are your arguments in favor of end-to-end encryption?
Also, how do you respond when someone brings up concerns of E2EE platforms being used for child sexual abuse imagery or terrorism?

Keep in mind that these arguments have to be made to laypersons, who don't usually have a lot of technical knowledge.

But there's context for all of those things, and I can rationalize them with my 6th grade civics understanding.

30 year vegetarian here: I'd say in the UK we've had good vegetarian options for maybe 10 years. Before that it was "have a crappy tomato sauce with pasta" as a terrible substitute for whatever the fleshies were eating. Now, pretty much everywhere in the UK has reasonable non-meat options.

What has also happened though is that low end food places - pubs, cafes, other "beige food" eateries [burgers, chips, you know, beige] - have become extraordinarily more expensive, whereas really great places have only incrementally increased prices. So you'd probably pay £15 for a crappy fish and chips in a pub, but say £18 for a really great dish in a restaurant. This has been a bit of a leveller - but also alongside this you find exponentially better veggie food in a good restaurant, whereas pubs are all still a bit "meat and two veg"...
Wow, that's quite a stretch for a title ambiguity: attorney general or soft drink?

>Requiring noise insulation would drive the cost up

As if construction costs were the primary factor in determining the cost of real estate in places with housing crisis problems (like the Bay Area).
I honestly wouldn't mind buying a bird scooter to own. I bought a Segway ES4 and it doesn't come with the extra reinforcement the scooter services add after-market around where the pillar connects to the board and is constantly coming loose. Birds always ride really nicely.
Thanks for the tremendous detail on this point.

Could you or someone else please give a minimal example of an undefined access in C, just so that I can be sure of whether we're talking about the same phenomena here?
I would definitely not put Uber in the list of responsible ones. As far as I know Waymo and Cruise for example are taking security extremely seriously.
It's baffling to me seeing the progression of anti-blockchain people. They keep insisting that it's all a joke, and yet every single day the level of adoption keeps on increasing.

I feel like I'm watching the internet be born again.

I don't recall that happening, although I do remember the Obama administration being concerned that the Trump campaign was being targeted by / cooperating with the Russians. Seems that looking into that is a legitimate use of government power but I guess that is going to depend on where you fall on your view on Trump.

But if it was true, seems to be another reason to allow End 2 End.

Unless this was essentially a "but her emails" post.
At what point are firings and public shaming the appropriate response?

At what point can people justify breaking the rice bowl of others for their beliefs as self-defense?
If you average things out over a longer period, we are still significantly better off than we were say 100 or 150 years ago. Really I think a lot of the "things aren't getting better" mindset is just a reaction to the fact that the beginning of our current societal "working memory" is the post-WWII economic boom. When your benchmark for prosperity is literally the best growth period on record, you're bound to be disappointed.
Even at low speed, Tesla seems to still have trouble avoiding stationary obstacles.
In other words, these politicians are unelectable
China is so populous that their largest cities are running up against the current technological limits of housing density. Beijing is especially challenging - it’s hard to build any more densely there without very careful planning; the city’s development could be warped by the Marchetti constant.

North American cities are sparse and are nowhere near our tech limits. Housing shortages in North America are due to nothing more than bad regulation.
> How about a lower bar, then: has blockchain/crypto tech ever been demonstrated to be economically viable for anything besides a store of value?

Yes. Sending censorship resistant transactions.

If you look at crypto, you will see that it has, in general, for whatever reason, been censored less often than things like bank or credit card transactions.
Stack Exchange is a weird place. I've generally found their user community pretty hostile. I find the idea of giving people badges for downvoting to capture something about their negativity.

There is something to be said for more tribal-esque living. If you live with close relatives, you can probably drastically reduce the amount of bills, mortgages, babysitters / caregivers, and cars that everyone pays for, at the cost of having to buy a larger house potentially.
That all makes sense but I still don't think guaranteeing a specific number is possible. Say they had 4 successful births an are going for a 5th to reach the limit. We'll they'll implant more than 1 because that's how IVF works and so more than 5 could be born. I definitely get that 17 means they just ignored his wish entirely. I was just trying to point out that guaranteeing a specific number doesn't seem like a reasonable/possible thing to do.

YC is pushing almost 6 years since their last true successful company. They’re no longer pushing innovation but, smartly, niche markets. That’s distant from the universe of what FB is.
This is consistent with 2 major trends in social networking projects:

1. The closer the relationship the faster the communication

2. Different levels of privacy should be in different UI spaces entirely (fiddling with privacy settings on posts is not how we think about privacy in real life)

I think both are great ideas that extend natural human relationships and communication rather than forcing people into unnatural modes.
snarf21 posted elsewhere in this thread a perfect example. I'd like to refer to his Agile list as some other roles in the organization might see it.

"Value individuals and interactions over processes and tools"

Management - Processes and tools are exactly how we ran our business. It's the only way that scales (and is also lawsuit-proof!).

"Value working software over comprehensive documentation"

QA - How am I going to test that software if I don't have good documentation of what it needs to do and how it works? Documentation is necessary for working software, not something to be balance against working software.

"Value customer collaboration over contract negotiation"

Management - We do need to get paid you know. On that matter, our interests are not exactly aligned with the customer's. Furthermore, having clear expectations and legal protections for both sides is a form of collaboration, a necessary one in fact.

"Value responding to change over following a plan"

Investors - Ah, so you're just following the market and have no intention of initiating change on your own? How is your company going to be the next Apple if you keep up like that?

I'm not necessarily saying the other characters are right - but these perspectives are a given in today's organization and are going to influence the actual process. Indeed, given that managers have more power, these are going to be the defining influences, way over some manifesto.

I think this is selection bias, because all of the junk old homes have fallen apart or been torn down by now. I get what you're saying though: older houses tend to use more real wood and bricks and other materials which are now done with cheaper, modern equivalents like drywall and plywood.
This is exactly why they spun it off. They've known for a while that many people are walking away from FB, so they're adding apps to retain you as a customer, and all the data collection that entails.

This is certainly unethical (informed consent) and probably illegal under federal and state law. Would you like to make your DNA available to anyone who wishes to utilize it without your consent?
Having pride in being a self sufficient adult is one benefit of moving away from home.

Going away to college is a halfway point. There is a whole infrastructure to help you with the transition.

Moving out entirely on your own is a big step. You learn to take care of yourself and at least for me, there was a lot of pride in being able to say “This is my own life and I can take care of myself”.
I think that, at least insofar as I understand the problem I was trying to speak to, it's so deeply entangled with the runtime vs compile checks thing that it's impossible to have a coherent discussion without dealing with the subject head-on.

Here's where I come down on it:

There are some kinds of projects where you can cut off most potential problems at the pass with compile time checks. In those cases, yes, you absolutely want to statically render as many errors as possible impossible. Compilers come to mind as a shining example here.

There are others where the nastiest bits invariably happen at run time, though. And, for a significant number of those, the grottiest bits fall under the general category of "type checking" - not checking types in the structure of the code itself, per se, but checking types in the actual data you're being fed. And, since you don't get fed data until run time, that means all that type checking has to be done at run time. There's no sooner time at which it's possible. There's some tipping point where that becomes such a large portion of your data integrity concerns that it's just easier to delay all your type checking until run time, so that you are dealing with these things in a single, clear, consistent way. If you try to handle it in two places, there's always going to be a crack between them for things to slip through.
> Is that actually true? Or just true for a certain subset of humans?

The strengths of cryptocurrencies are also exactly why they are unnatural and undesired for most people in the real world.

Who do you turn to when you get scammed, hacked or robbed when it results in lost crypto funds? No one. Everything is final with no recourse. No mistakes are permitted. People are not robots, software is not foolproof and people who write it are not perfect.

Ruthless peer to peer with no central authority or possibility of appeal is not how the world operates and it is not what people are comfortable with. Anyone who is comfortable with it is a short sighted fool.

> When I talk to people who graduated college after 2013, the vast majority of them believe that crypto & DeFi are right, natural, and will inevitably take over the global financial system.

Young people are dreamers and they have a whole lot of energy to pursue dreams. They take inspiration from other successful dreamers who have made it with a lot of hard work and tenacity. They take inspiration from ideas of the past that have revolutionized the world.

What they don't think about is the 90+% of people who have also worked their ass off in pursuit of their dreams or the world changing ideas that showed promise, but went nowhere. That is because those ideas are soon forgotten and the people never made it out of obscurity.

AFAIK Intel patches many of those security issues in new CPUs, so performance loss won't be as severe. I don't care about power efficiency, as electricity is cheap enough for me and I'm buying computer for many years, so I'm unlikely to benefit from CPU upgrading in 7 years anyway.

Basically for me it's about:

* Security issues. They are real for Intel and performance loss is real.

* Inter-core communication latency. I don't particularly like this chiplet design for AMD, when some cores have a long time to talk to other cores. Intel seems like a safer play here. But I did not research about their HEDT CPUs, may be it's the same for Intel.

* Balance of frequency/cores. While more cores is better, I think that after 12 cores I don't really need more. And single-thread performance is always important.

* Other issues. I don't like that AMD had multiple issues with its Zen CPUs, especially with Linux. Crashes, RNG bug, overall Linux compatibility. I'm feeling like Intel takes Linux compatibility much more seriously and Intel overall seems like a safer bet for stable system.
I am a proponent for encryption but I don't think Facebook should be allowed to end to end encrypt all of their messaging platforms. You will have people messaging very young children offering them $ to do things and law enforcement should be able to retrieve that with ease. If they do this, there would be almost no liability for spamming millions of young girls or boys recruitment messages.
Multi-generational homes are what we should really be doing as a society anyway. It's more efficient economically and environmentally. The benefits are significant in so many ways.
