Whoah, that’s my project!
Ah yes, the "market" for macOS machines with PCIe slots.
That's how you get Mad Max.
Why is an additional layer of complexity an improvement? Why not make bitcoin blocks 10x larger and 10x more frequent?

The argument that "only large entities will be able to keep up with that" doesn't really hold - thats the status quo already.
I don’t know about Facebook, but in its Russian analogue it is possible to remove your friends (and groups) from your feed.
>> the average American citizen still thinks of themselves as a free and independent thinker and not a product of their environment.

More importantly, these people have realized it is far easier to shape the environment to the individual than mould the individual to the environment. When you can engulf an individual in his own filter bubble, you no longer have to predict his behavior, but can literally shape it.
my 55 came in. it's seriously a panel. there are better panels out there (love my LG OLED), but you can't complain for the price.
I'm with the parent. Driving a 4K display is really power hungry and the advantages are basically zero if you are using a 16 point font anyway. I'm 1980x1080 on a 13" laptop display. If I've got my math right, that's 169 dpi. A point is 1/72", which gives me 2.35 dots per point, or about 37 pixels of height for a 16 point font. With anti-aliasing, that's absolutely fine for readability.

If I had a monitor that was twice the size (reasonable on a desktop), I'd be looking for 4K. Or potentially if I wanted 8 pt fonts to be shaped nicely... But of course, I couldn't read them anyway on my display... Anyway, on a mobile platform (what the original article is talking about), 4K is a bit of a loser unless you have super eyes, IMHO.
64 cores * 2.9 GHz * 8 single-precision lanes * 2 issue * 2 (FMA) = 5.9 TF. This compares with 14 TF for V100 (costs more and needs a host). The 100 TOPS for V100 refers to reduced precision (which may or may not be useful in a given ML training or prediction scenario). The V100 has much (~9x) higher memory bandwidth, but also higher latency.
It's pretty simple: paying for journalism means the difference between having journalism and not having journalism.
After using both I can say both have problems. Polyrepos lack tools for working with multiple repos simultaneously, and require more attention to versioning. Monorepos have longer histories, and the large number of objects can hurt performance.

Which one you should use depends on which downsides are less impactful for your use case.
Aren't CPU's also slower, because they have a security overhead? (checking memory access, etc. which the gpu does not (so much))?
I found it interesting reading the book The Box[1] because it showed how shipping was transformed over the last century or so.

The book is a giant analogy for huge inevitable changes that affect society.

It also showed how society dealt with the changes. Some people were supported by unions. On the other hand, some goverments tried to control things too much and the shipping industry just left and went to other cities or states.

cherry picking is a shitshow!

i would love to be able to use a patch-based VC.
Never forget: The original protocol did not have the restrictions you are feeling.

Letting volume be the main driver for payments to the network instead of fees (as it is today) scales much better. By that, I am stating that the hostage situation (as you describe it) has been introduced commit per commit.

Well, in the end, its a battle of opinion because smaller blocks give other features to the chain, so it will be interesting to follow how the dynamics between volume, miners, businesses and users unfolds when the original protocol is reintroduced on the BSV chain the 4th of February.
The title of the article states that milk producers are "going bankrupt," but then cites the rising costs of raw milk, which seems like a good thing for a milk producer.

So I look up the company on wikipedia and Borden Dairy is a processor & distributor, not a producer.

Furthermore, "employee pension obligations" being cited as a primary cause of bankruptcy without any more details raises a red flag for me. This article sounds more like they're reporting on the press release of some kind of corporate raiders than journalism.
It's a franchise. It's a very common model and while you may not like it, it is not a scam.
I know what bitlocker is, I've been using it for years.

> backup wouldn’t be much use if you lost access to BitLocker

Why? What kind of backup are you talking about? This statement makes no sense to me.
Eventually git will be replaced by something better. It might not be replaced everywhere, but eventually it will be replaced in most places. This is true of almost all things in tech.

I expect that git's eventual replacement will initially boast compatibility with existing git repos.
This type of post is a pet peeve of mine because you use terms like “data” and “anecdotal” but it’s actually a poorly supported argument. This happens too often on HN. It’s certainly true that primary care visits improve health outcomes, but you offer no evidence that people get more primary care at Kaiser. Meanwhile the most significant rankings are not only patient opinions but rather systematic reviews of outcomes, expert analysis and objective metrics. Newsweek did one such ranking that put Kaiser behind 4 other hospitals.[1] US News puts UCSF ahead of Kaiser in many aspects and specialities.[2]

When you need a brain surgery or cancer treatment, you’re definitely going to “feel better” having “choice and freedom” to go to the best.

Borderlands 2 is native Linux so there is no need to use Wine.

It would be interesting to see the difference in performance between running the native version and the emulated version.
In addition to the other answers, there are some cryptocurrencies where the block reward never goes to zero. Look up how it works in Monero for example.
Does it?

Mostly the standards of rigour in the field of psychology are deemed flimsy and a lot of findings have failed to replicate.

It's my understanding that Big Five has been replicated consistently across different languages and cultures over the last 90 years and is one of the only things we're fairly sure of in psychology at this point.

The accusation was that it was "unproven hogwash". That doesn't check out.
I wasn't checking my analytics so I was quite surprised to see this here. I'm almost a week late but I'll look at all the comments now.
You should stop eating all modern fruits. Literally all modern fruits have been designed by humans through genetic selection. Here is how a banana is naturally supposed to look: https://www.sciencealert.com/images/feb-16/processed/Banana1...

Also if you are going to say that humans are designed and ignore Darwin's theory of evolution, you are going to lose you credibility on your thoughts on science.
Can farms currently downstream of operating coal plants sue for damages?
Do you honestly want to get dopamine boosts from work? It is an easy question to think about when working as a code monkey can bring in 6 to 7 digits in compensation but what if your job is flipping burgers? Retail?
Could someone explain what he meant about the wise abstracting their knowledge into myths? What’s so special about Jesus turning the other cheek and Odysseus going home? I feel like it’s straight forward what they are metaphors for (forgiveness and I guess for the odysessus one it’s you can’t run away from your problems), unless I’m still not going deep enough which is most likely the case. It’s this kind of thinking that scares me because I feel like I stop a bit short in my thought, and I’d like to go deeper without going off the deep end
> Bitcoin does not compete with literal credit card transactions

Why not?
As you lower the price, more people can and will buy your product giving you (hypothetically) more profits than before. I’d like to think Apple has done all their homework about what price point to sell at to maximize profit but honestly at this point I think they just make up whatever huge number they want for the Mac Pro price to make it seem cool and go with it.

Yeah, I didn't notice that. If that is the case, then perhaps there is no purpose in creating a new language. Perhaps the only benefit to creating the new language could be that it might be a little easier to mechanically convert from the existing VimScript to the new style VimScript they are thinking of.
They also cut multi-socket and half the memory channels. It's only ~10% cheaper than Epyc 7702P so AMD is not hurting themselves.
I went for the 55 and mine just arrived. technically speaking it's better than the TCL and HiSense I was looking at. can't complain for the price, it's bright and fast response. its not future proof, so don't expect 120hz and there's absolutely no features to write about (I don't think even HDMI-CEC volume control works :\)

but hey $219 got me a big ass panel that won't report my porn habits to the mothership
Stupid question - How do you know for certain it isn’t just that light is slowing down?

Relativity probably doesn’t work this way at all, but if light did actually slow down, would it be perceived by us as light moving at the same speed across a greater distance?
> Kinda neat that it handles the binary getting deleted

…and then it goes and reads /proc/self/exe. This looks really racy.
If you’re giving a sizeable chunk of your company to an investor you better do your due diligence.

Whether it’s contacting founders who previously received money from the VC, or plain old web research. It’s really dumb to take money from someone who can make life difficult for you down the road
In practice Segwit only increases the blocksize to 1.4 MB for normal transactions and theoretically to 4 MB, but then blocks are filled with special kinds of transactions people don't really use.

It also doesn't really increase the blocksize, but move some data outside of the blocksize calculation to make room for more transactions. The important difference is that Segwit is opt-in and depend on usage for it's effect, while a blocksize increase would immediately increase transaction throughput to its full capacity.
Not sure how you got that impression. I like my hobbies. Your presented hobbies != your actual hobbies. I'm just sharing advice that will potentially better your odds.
Yes, that's one of the reasons I created this. Well, bought a domain name and made a webpage anyway, haha.
From the article: “When people say I changed the culture of Boeing, that was the intent, so it’s run like a business rather than a great engineering firm,” [Harry Stonecipher, the new CEO from McDonnell-Douglas] told the Chicago Tribune in 2004. “It is a great engineering firm, but people invest in a company because they want to make money.”

I lay the blame at the feet of each person at the company who acted selfishly.

Selfishness gets an easy pass here on Hacker News --- well, just about everywhere these days, I guess. Take this recent thread, where the submitter confesses that he has been slacking off for 6 years at work. A lot of people egged him on. I remember one comment that advised him to double down and go Full Sociopath (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=21964204).

I could not think of a good rebuttal. I mean, I work hard even when no one is watching, because I am religious, but I did not imagine it going well if I just laid out the idea of a transcendental world. But the only solution I see is reformation of the individual, one by one, not revolution of the social structure --- change from the inside out, instead of the outside in.

The enemy is not the rich or the poor, the executive or the engineer. Any of these people can be dangerous, if their philosophy is maximum selfishness. Furthermore, no set of laws is clever enough to keep the peace if the majority of citizens are sociopaths. They will always find the legal loopholes. On the other hand, a country with the dumbest regulatory set-up would still run fine if peopled by saints, people who are the opposite of selfish, who are always asking, am I treating others how I wish to be treated?
It depends on the company and the role. In general, I would be prepared for some white boarding questions, although I've found they're generally "a little easier" than the ones the engineers whine about.
Having history available locally also means you can perform interesting operations on history -- like "git blame" -- without making the server do all the heavy lifting.
If you take a look at Subversion vs. Git's interest on Google [1] and you agree it has some correspondence to the technology adoption lifecycle [2] ... Git's got a long way to go.

Overview of professional engineer process: https://www.nspe.org/resources/licensure/what-pe . It varies from place to place (although transferrable from country to country via the Washington Accord https://www.ieagreements.org/accords/washington/).

If you want to e.g. build a bridge it needs to be signed off on by an appropriately licensed and qualified Professional Engineer. Essentially the parent comment is saying there should be streams of software development that meet the requirements to become a Professional Engineer. Then places e.g. medical, defence, power plants could say "we need software that's been signed off by an engineer" and have assurance that the final product is of a known quality and unlikely to have any life and safety endangering defects. They are strongly incentivised to only sign off on properly engineered projects as they can be held personally liable e.g. if a bridge fails and kills someone.

An example of the level of quality that would be delivered is the software that ran on the space shuttle. See this article https://www.fastcompany.com/28121/they-write-right-stuff for an insight into how it was developed and the practises required.

I don't think all software developers should be software Engineers, but being able to lead a team to enforce quality (and not sign off on poorly thought out "MVP" crapware) would guarantee that the software that came out of that team would be reliable and well designed. It would be good for software engineering overall to be recognised as a legitimate branch of engineering. Unfortunately it seems like most of the industry does not have the sort of rigour needed for engineering tasks.

I will channel urs hoezel giving an answer he once gave me to a similar question:

which translated of course means, "the cost benefit analysis doesn't come down in favor of spending the effort".
Does the CPU actually matter that much for modern AAA games? (I haven't played any AAA game in a looooooooooong time.)
I only say 8GB option on the site. Resolution maxes out at 1080p
I’ve always found Impossible’s “versioning” scheme amusing.

One of my favourite burger joints recently shifted from offering Impossible v2 to v3 for their patty, as v3 supposedly resembled meat more closely.

However, I thought that v2 tasted much better while avoiding the “uncanny valley” of meat substitutes... I wish they would keep them all available rather than phasing out older versions.
Isn't the windows surface book's screen 3:2?

While you may scoff enough people are willing to pay the extra for Mac OS and a high level workstation to justify their prices.
>I assume that the best part of the best books will surface in daily conversations, YouTube videos, CliffsNotes, podcasts, Reddit posts/comments, blog articles, etc.

Are you exclusively talking about reading for learning or are you including reading for pleasure? Both are "worth it" in my opinion, but if you are including reading for pleasure the idea that anyone could think this blows my mind.

Do you enjoy film/TV? Because if so you could think of what I just quoted as being equivalent to saying "Oh I don't need to watch anything. I just eavesdrop on watercooler discussions and watch highlight clips".

Or in other words good books are more than the sum of their parts. CliffsNotes and comments can be interesting but won't include the full context, the playful uses of language, the pacing, and so much more.... They won't include the art of the text.
I'm not sure modern game engines make good use of large numbers cores, because most consumers don't have that many.

Intel chips are still competitive for single-threaded performance, from what i can tell https://www.pcworld.com/article/3453946/amd-threadripper-397...
The EYPC chips have twice the memory bandwidth as well, and allow for dual socket systems. I don't believe the enterprise security and management features are in their HEDT counterparts.

Chips like these are for a specialty market, for those who are using applications and workloads that can actually take advantage of all those cores and aren't running a personal datacenter. You're not going to see this offered in any of the rack/blade systems offered by the likes of Dell, HPE, SuperMicro, Lenovo, etc where organizations are actually going to be purchasing EPYC chips.
I've been using Dynabooks (no longer made by Toshiba) for precisely this reason. They have a variety of strange models that can give you low resolution displays with very long battery life. The only problem is that I'm not sure you can find those weird configurations outside of Japan. Now that they are a Taiwan company, I'm hoping so (especially because I'd love it if the concept would catch on). Anyway, troll their truly horrible website, using the search function. That's how I tend to find the model I need. Also, note that in Japan the price on the website is inflated. I found that if I "became a member" (give them my email address), the price was 30% off. No idea why they have such a bizarre (and seemingly counter-productive) pricing system. No affiliation with Dynabook or Toshiba -- just been my goto laptop for 10-15 years.
"The feature will be available for $19 with a monsanto terminator gene good until age 25, or $3000 without the terminator gene."
I'd say the number of git repos on Earth that would encounter problems of that nature would be a vanishingly microscopic minority. Sure, it's a problem for those companies but it's not a problem for anyone else.
Finding the True Potential of Algorithms
I wish there was a version control system that didn't need user input beyond a "push". Only branches and pull requests, nothing more. No commit messages, you have one master branch and however many sub-branches you need.

Whatever code is in your branch is what it is. And then there's a layer of magic on top of it all, maybe a UI or command line tool or both, just to be able to easily rewind time. Either per file, per line of code, or folder, or just a folder but not recursive, or the entire branch.

Think of Apple's Time Machine, it should be that simple.

Honestly, I rarely–if ever–read commit messages to begin with. The way I navigate older code is never done by searching for commit messages. That's not reliable.

Instead I simply go to a point in time where I think the thing I'm looking for might be. I'll look at the code, recognise its state, and continue the search up or down the timeline.

And that would cover the needs of most projects I'd say. And it would save us a shitload of time.

Hell, I've been working with git for almost a decade now. I never needed to rebase or merge things, until I recently did need to do it. It's too arcane to make intuitive sense, to me anyway.

Git is good, I'd just welcome a breath of fresh air...
Brand isn't everything, it doesn't "crush" competitors in markets without winner-takes-all characteristics (i.e. network effects). People buy smartphones that aren't iPhones; people buy burgers not made by McDonald's; people rent hotel rooms not offered by Hilton or Marriott. By the time the upstarts get competitive enough to force the incumbent to act, the upstarts already have branding and market power of their own, and are not so easily crushed.
Blind Items Revealed (2019)
For most current games, anything more than 6 cores is overkill according to the benchmarks.

With the next console gen being based on Ryzen instead of the much less efficient Jaguar architecture, maybe 8 cores might be better used.
It doesn't have to be a rare disease—it can just mean that non-basic healthcare is hard to access.

Example: I live in the Philippines. Its healthcare system is affected by two things: centralization and the fact that the country is an archipelago.

Most quality health care is happening in Metro Manila. What you find outside is generally very basic, and even in 2nd-tier cities like Cebu or Davao they may refer you to Manila for something you'd think they ought be able to do.

With travel by boat being … rather slow, with vacation time not exactly ample, and the average salary being low I'm quite certain that affordable flights ($25 Cebu - Manila) are making ample difference in terms of what kind of healthcare situations are being addressed.
You have to pre-setup a connection to others that you know and hope they know someone that knows someone that has a connection to the person you are trying to buy from.

This is how the design of lightning network incentivises mega hubs that know most people. So if facebook made a big hub with all its users it would work smoothly.

Also: You can not receive payments if the computer/wallet that hosts your lightning node is not online. Not super smooth.
Selling coins from the fork is the taxable event, not the folk itself.

Anything that could maintain compatibility with git repos after an initial import process couldn't possibly be any better than git.
Nobody's banning it. They can go to normal youtube if their parents let them. You're tilting at windmills.
I'm gonna strawman here real quick with a metal observation:

HN: parents need to stop being helicopter parents and kids need to have independence to grow in order to be functional adults, otherwise you're a shitty parent

Also HN: parents need to know everything their child does and know what they are watching at all times, otherwise you're a shitty parent
Don't feel too bad. 386 PCs used to sell for $15k in 2020 dollars.

Do you work on a team? Or in a job were you need to have an audit trail for your work? Commit messaged and many other features of Git like branching and tags are indespensible for sharing and collaborating on code.

Indeed it does. Which nicely explains the rising popularity of Hackintosh's, particularly among developers and other technologists. AMD Hackintosh's[1] in particular have skyrocketed in maturity and simplicity since Ryzen.
