Oh for sure. I'd bet that people working 4x9s or even 4x8s are equally/more productive as 4x10s and 5x8s and are happier. But if I'm choosing between 4x10 and 5x8 I'd take 4x10 any day.

Once the capacitor plate has a voltage in the range of the kinetic energy of the particles, this is exactly what will happen. The particles convert their kinetic energy into electrical energy by rolling "uphill" against the electric potential.
> I find it hilarious that someone would find themselves feeling entitled enough to tell a bunch of unpaid open source developers how to communicate with one another as if that someone were their boss at a company. The only place where I’m told what communication tools to use is at work, where I’m paid to comply.

They are making a moral argument against discord. If they said it was not acceptable for free software projects to go around hitting people on the head with clubs would that be entitled?
To some extent, this depends on what kind of component you're talking about. I agree with what you're saying about consumer vs workstation GPUs because the price disparity is so large, but consumer GPUs don't usually get the full RGB treatment anyways.

I think you're also overestimating how big the gaming desktop components market is, and underestimating how fragmented it is. For motherboards, the economies of scale apply to the OEM custom motherboards used by Dell, HP, etc., which have far more volume than any one consumer retail motherboard model. You're probably also vastly overestimating how many gaming-oriented motherboards make it past revision 1.0. I just checked Gigabyte's top gaming product line, and out of 75 models listed, all but 8 were revision 1.0. Browsing through a similar number of their most recent mainstream consumer motherboards didn't turn up any that went beyond rev 1.0.

Some gamer-oriented motherboards are over-specced for power delivery and cooling. It's definitely common to find VRM heatsinks that are oversized gaudy sculptures, but that doesn't help product reliability. There are also tons of examples of gamer-oriented boards that advertise a large number of VRM phases, but have obvious shortcomings in their power delivery design once the heatsinks are removed and an EE takes a close look at things. And then there's the motherboard at issue here. When gamer boards are overbuilt, it's not thorough, it's usually just the most visible aspects that get beefed up (and the price).

RAM is a really obvious area where paying a bit extra for workstation-class ECC DIMMs gets you a real reliability advantage, but paying extra for high-speed consumer modules with RGB LEDs and big heatsinks does not.

RGB LEDs are still thankfully pretty uncommon on SSDs, but the handful of examples show that the impact varies from compromised performance to catastrophic instability. Most gamer-oriented SSDs with no LEDs but with flashy heatsinks also fail to outperform or outlive the best pedestrian-looking models.

Enterprise and NAS hard drives are definitely diverging from mainstream consumer hard drives in more ways than simple firmware feature gating. Some of the technologies they're using to drive density beyond consumer HDD needs have a questionable impact on reliability, but filling them with helium does help reliability, and you don't find that on a WD Black or Seagate Barracuda.
> When did using "+" instead of "&" become acceptable in proper English? I understand this is a tech blog and I have no problem with "+" used in a tech context, the use in a virtue signalling piece on the rules of writing a good essay seems misplaced.

Could be that tech bias. I've been coding awhile, and '+' reads as 'ADD', for inclusion, while '&' reads as 'logical AND', for restrictive subsetting. The '&' no longer sits right. (Plus, it's a shell and HTML metacharacter, thus it's a potential potent piece of trouble in casual typing and so something to be avoided.)
See my post above, just build the clojure jar yourself using the ant instructions, and it will be portable again.
Maybe I misunderstood your claim. I thought your claim was that the LEA needs to be three operand plus satisfy one of the claims in the list?

If you are just saying that the issue is that the author says "ebp as base" rather than "ebp as base in an indexed addressing mode", then I agree.
With F. Murray Abraham as well! Nice. He's looked the same since 1984's Amadeus. Crazy!
I think you misread some of my comment.

But as for why people don't do that, I think it's often because "quality of life" means different things to different people at different times in their lives.

For a single 20-something, moving closer to work, and the much higher cost of living that usually entails can be worthwhile.

For a 30-something or 40-something with a family, what kind of worth the spouse does (and whether it benefits from that move monetarily or in quality of live) and what it entails for the children can be much more important.

For a single (or mostly single) income household, shaving 2 hours off your commute in exchange for double the cost of living is very hard to justify. There's often a reason they live far enough away to need to commute.

For me, as I said, I've never had that commute. I've been very happy working in the tech industry an hour or so away from SF and its surrounding area. What I advocated is not moving closer to work, but working closer to where you moved. If you move to a suburb of SF, if you start looking for work in that area instead of focusing on SF, you might be surprised what's there. It won't pay as much, but theoretically cost of living is already drastically reduced by moving to the suburb, so maybe re-examining what's a good job to look is called for if that commute isn't to your liking.
How long has this been around? Surprised I haven't seen it before! Fantastic work. I would love if I could use this with Roam Research somehow

A terrible decision. Users should always be allowed, at the very least, to build and sideload their own code.

That was his personal political goal but not Greece's collective goal or will, and he did nothing more than to run political manoevers to try to manipulate Greeks to assume there was a ridiculous conspiracy by the whole world against them.
If this is true, it would also be futile to raise the minimum wage (which I, and most leftists I know would support), because landlords would just capture the extra wage. I don't think this is supported by data from places where the minimum wage was raised.
I think I responded to the wrong comment.
So if we are worried about people losing their jobs, should we also care if the environment makes it harder for telemarketers?

Besides if your income is dependent on third party ads, what happens as more people start using ad blockers? A content blocking framework has been built into iOS for 5 years. I haven’t seen a Google ad in half a decade.

I also don’t have a problem with first party ads controlled by the site or podcast ads.

That being said, I put my money where my mouth is. I pay for ad free streaming services and will buy an in app purchase in apps to avoid ads.

Now that Ben Thompson (Stratechery) is offering a podcast version of his Daily Update, I’m thinking about buying a subscription to his newsletter.
As a person literally just used as an example of moderation practices above, I think dang and sctb do a really good job here. There's a lot of weird lines they have to walk. For example, that while Googlers defending their company can be astroturfing, Googlers also know a lot about Google and can contribute original info and answers others can't.

The HN guidelines haven't changed significantly in a long time, and dang and sctb miss a lot because HN is huge and nobody can read every comment, but they do a pretty good job when they step in. If you're on your 50th account, perhaps you should see if you can modify your posting to stay afloat of the rules. (On your 51st account, presumably, since you just told one of the moderators you're an account evading a ban.) And if you have questions or concerns about moderation, or feel you were unfairly impacted, there's a contact email in the footer and they're actually really good dudes you can talk to.
Yeah, in my experience the difference between 8 and 10 hour workdays were negligible (except certain times of year where I'd get to my desk before sunrise and leave well after sunset). Anything I'd do with my "extra" 2 hours per day I'd happily batch into my free Friday.
What are you talking about? People constantly report their Google accounts being banned, very often for things they did in their emails. It seems impossible to me that you've never heard of someone being banned by Google because of something they sent with their Gmail account. Usually Google reports it as an unspecified ToS violation, but that doesn't mean it wasn't related to things they did in "private" correspondence via email.

I don't get it, what is the mechanism by which you're proposing this would happen?
Normally you'd ask the chipset so that it can reset all the peripherals at the same time.

On Intel you can also intentionally "triple fault" the CPU and that'll cause it to reset. The way that works is you tell the CPU that it doesn't have interrupt handlers anymore, then cause a software interrupt. Then the CPU will first try to call your interrupt handler (but that'll fail because you told it there are no handlers), then errors during an interrupt cause a "double fault" interrupt that's supposed to handle those errors (but once again, there's no handlers), so now you're in a "triple fault" condition and the only way to recover is to reset, so that's what the CPU does.
A debate between the leading voices for each position would help clarify matters. The side that is closer to the truth has the most to gain from this debate & the side that is more deceptive has the most to lose.

For example, Michael E Mann, inventor of the hockey stick graph, should debate Tony Heller, one of the more well known skeptics.
I'm a software engineer, I started working 4 days/32 hours per week about a month ago, and I couldn't be happier :)
I think there is a happy medium too, and you don't need to live across the street from your job. I really like my job - which is located in the suburbs outside of DC but I wanted to live closer to the city so I have metro access and can easily bike around the city.

I could easily get a nice place walking distance from work but my 30 minute commute (pretty much against traffic so not stressful) allows me to enjoy my time after work and the weekends much more than I would from the extra time from a short commute.
I also enjoy driving and listening to music in my car so maybe thats part of it too
Curious about the impact on their privacy and avoiding stalking
Modern CPUs are like miniature JIT compilers.[1] They do wondrous things but I guess it shouldn't be surprising that in critical sections static compilation with a more global perspective can often make better decisions.[2] I would think that would be even more true today than during the Pentium II era, or at least as true. Both the state-of-the-art and the resources that can be devoted to such optimizations have continued to progress for both static and JIT compilation.

[1] Someone else please speak up, but the Pentium II seems to be when Intel began leaning on microcode to optimize execution. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Intel_Microcode

[2] Not always, of course. Sometimes local, runtime information is more important, as JIT enthusiasts love to point out. The problem is that the instrumentation to analyze and utilize that information is costly and incurred perpetually, whereas with static compilation it's a one-time deal.[3] As Rust and C++ has proven, many developers are willing to put up with several orders of magnitude more costs up-front than could ever be tolerated in a JIT, especially the JITs inside the CPU.

[3] This is a similar issue to GCs (mark & sweep and reference counting), where memory must be scanned and sometimes even copied many times during runtime whereas in static memory management there's exactly one operation for allocation and one for deallocation. So GC is usually (but, again, not always) slower. Optimizations like bump allocations (which in static compilation is often simply "the stack") that aggregate and amortize some costs don't change the fundamental costs.

> I'm close to financial independence and would rather have my time than more money.

I'm not close, but I'd still take time over money. I need enough money to live healthy and have a bit of fun sometimes. After that, I just need time and energy to actually live my life.
Yes, it's a disappointment we're discussing the discussion when the underlying phenomenon is so visible (glaciers that have disappeared. Large scale human migration because of failing agricultural productivity in N Africa, Middle East, SE Asia, Central America. Spring blooming times. Sea level rise. Ad nauseum.)
I don't really see anything worrisome about that actually. This indicates that there is a stable community around the language, and while it would be nice for Clojure community to keep growing, it's very much sustainable at this point.

It's also worth noting that responses are indicating that companies using Clojure are getting larger, and more people are using it professionally. This likely indicates that many Clojure startups have successfully grown into larger companies at this point. This is also reflected by efforts like Clojurists Together where companies are funding open source projects that are seen to be strategic for the community.

So, overall I don't really see anything to be concerned about here. Clojure is a niche technology, but the community around it is very vibrant even if it's not growing especially fast.

Salary is set at a 100% baseline, but your contract is fixed at a certain percentage (usually 80% or 60%) and your salary and working hours are adjusted accordingly.

Employees are generally not expected to work beyond that amount, and when they do, it's with the understanding that they can go around and reduce their working hours the following week (or whenever works for them & their manager) to cover the delta.
Google doesn't outlaw Windows machines for employees. I've had a windows laptop (currently on Chromebook). I used it to ssh to my workstation. There may be restrictions I'm not aware of but my statement is generally true for engineers across the company. that said, most people have Mac laptops, and gLinux workstations.
I introduced "work from home Wednesday" at our company and the reduction in stress is palpable. Hell, I sleep better on Tuesday nights knowing I've got a day of silence lined up. The naysayers quickly fell in line too, once they realized how much more they could get done that day.

How do we decide who gets Friday or Monday (ie, a three day weekend)?

I have a friend who once had M-W off, and worked the four remaining days. He hated it because his time off was completely misaligned with his peers, so he had no social life.

Edit - I don't have any fundamental problem with working fewer hours or fewer days. But, I think I'd prefer 5x7 hour days instead of 4x8.
Noting also that from my quick reading (note the qualifier there btw) I am not seeing the issue of having people review the essay mentioned. Most people not only don't have this luxury but we also don't know the contributions that those reviews have made (or corrections) to the essay.

To me (note the qualifier to lessen the impact there) writing is immediate and driven by emotion. To much time lessens the ability to say what you really think and having others review what you wrote even more so.
>There are some great alternatives. I’m not going to tell you to go use IRC like some cranky old Thinkpad-toting unixbeard who doesn’t recognize that mobile apps are a hard requirement for meaningful social collaboration these days. IRC is a total nonstarter for this use case for many reasons which have been written about before.

I'm not really a heavy IRC user, but is it really that hard for somebody to make a slick IRC frontend with a mobile app as well? I would think that IRC already existing takes away the hardest part for making a chat system like this.
Hey thanks for the feedback!

For customers that need it, we get necessary legal documents/procedures in place (DPA, etc) to be compliant with local regulations. We also share with customers our documentation that communicates our security measures and how we process customer data. You are correct - this stuff is not accessible on the marketing site, we'll get there :)

In terms of your integrations comment: beyond the integrations we have now, we prioritize new ones based on customer demand. So, yes, if the market trends in the direction you mentioned then we will as well. My personal take is that open source alternatives are currently a small subset and it's unclear to me where the future lies. I also think privacy and security get conflated here sometimes.
Ask HN: Would you pay for a listing of all worldwide conferences?
From https://apenwarr.ca/log/20111116 :

I have to admit that I haven't used Kakoune myself. I just like its approach of taking the good parts of Vim and adapting them to more "mainstream" style of editing.

Because Kakoune's editing operations are much closer to VS Code than Vim's, I think you can copy its functionality quite extensively with ModalEdit. The only limitation is that VS Code itself needs to have the commands to support these operations. The configuration involves just binding key sequences to the commands. However, VS Code marketplace has so many command extensions, so I bet you can find substitutes for most Kakoune features there.

Regarding the literate configuration, there is no Jupyter-style online editor for it, afaik. I use (of course) VS Code to edit my `settings.json` file. In the background I run [LiTScript][1] in watch mode to generate the documentation on the fly. I also use the [Live Server][2] extension to automatically reload the generated documentation when it has been changed. With this setup, saving the `settings.json` file causes VS Code to reload the configuration, LiTScript to generate the updated documentation, and Live Server to reload it automatically. So, it is almost like Jupyter in the sense that you see your changes in effect immediately.

There's no legal risk. Microsoft allows people to install emulators on their OS without issue.

I'm not sure if any of Corsair's current high-end PSUs are Seasonic; they've definitely done some that aren't. But whether they're using Seasonic or not, Corsair's fairly involved in the design process and set their own specs rather than just taking an ODM's existing design and adding their own logo. They also have a serious test lab where they do their own design validation, and I believe they also do failure analysis on returned products (since that lab's only a few rooms away from where RMAs land).

Internet speed matters. If you can't watch streaming video, just for example you're not really getting the same service. The FCC divided access types by whether they are "broadband" or not (currently defined as 25 Mbps down / 3 Mbps up). The number of ISPs which offer broadband access to a given home is usually exactly 1.
>There is just one, situated in one country, and it happens to be a country whose government intelligence agencies have a long and colourful history of infiltrating and compromising organisations just like Signal.

Whereas that same agency is under fewer restrictions for targets hosted in other countries.

It also might be a government thing? 9/80 is common in the few national labs I've worked at or know people in. DoE and DoD labs.
The extent to which modern CPUs are “like JIT compilers” is highly overrated by SW people.

Most important instructions map 1:1 to CPU micro-ops, with memory operands (on x86) being mapped to separate load/store micro-ops. There are cases where instructions map to long sequences (e.g. VMENTER) or get combined into one micro-op (e.g. compare-and-branch), but this is far from a JIT compiler.
I've been working 32 hour weeks ever since my daughter was born 2 years ago. Mondays are my day off, we go to music classes, walk on the park and just spend time together.

On tuesdays I'm "hungry" when I go back to work. I think this is the perfect balance for me and I feel I'm more productive than ever.

It may not be for everyone, and it's definitely a privilege, but if you can, I really encourage you to try it out.
