My main issue with that approach is in practice it has two issues one of which is escalation of standards for being "good" means that you are still a bastard for paying workers $15/hr when the minimum wage is $10. And responding to one demand means others try to push more without any returns. It makes conceding not worth it and does everything about negotations wrong. And attempts to influence companies fundamentally are negotations which depend upon being a party to it one way or another.

Meanwhile ignoring the "fuck you we don't care" bad actors already know about especially the commodities it winds up disproportionate.

The second issue is lack of chosing battles it depletes social capital to the point nobody outside the bubble takes them remotely seriously.
fp64 is exposed in GLSL at least, but on desktop GPUs it's typically 16x (AMD) or 32x (Nvidia) slower than fp32.

Add that fact that mobile GPUs and some Intel GPUs don't support it in hardware at all, it makes a lot of sense to leave fp64 out of WebGPU.
> where we just had one discovered for AMD yesterday

AMD's was a new side channel that doesn't appear to be that different from existing side channels like flush+reload. Some pros (and cons) over the established ones, but you're not attacking anything with those either. It's how you ex-filtrate data after a successful attack.

This, by comparison, is a new attack vulnerability. They are different severity, and I'd expect here of all places to recognize & acknowledge that. I'm baffled as to why you seem to be expecting something different?

> Regarding comparisons, I’m yet to see a conclusive source that points at AMD > Intel for server workloads - benchmarking these things is complex. Power, efficiency, workload types, etc matter. So it’s not as simple as saying “Hey, AMD won”.

Did you look? Yes benchmarking these is complex, but when one CPU wins the overwhelming majority of every comparison on every metric it reeks of fanboyism to then claim it's "not conclusive." There's no shortage of server CPU benchmarks done in this space. If you have a specific comparison that's missing then say it. Otherwise you're just accusing people of the fanboy behavior that you're exhibiting.

But here: https://www.anandtech.com/show/14694/amd-rome-epyc-2nd-gen/1...

"For those with little time: at the high end with socketed x86 CPUs, AMD offers you up to 50 to 100% higher performance while offering a 40% lower price. Unless you go for the low end server CPUs, there is no contest: AMD offers much better performance for a much lower price than Intel, with more memory channels and over 2x the number of PCIe lanes. These are also PCIe 4.0 lanes. What if you want more than 2 TB of RAM in your dual socket server? The discount in favor of AMD just became 50%.

So has AMD done the unthinkable? Beaten Intel by such a large margin that there is no contest? For now, based on our preliminary testing, that is the case. The launch of AMD's second generation EPYC processors is nothing short of historic, beating the competition by a large margin in almost every metric: performance, performance per watt and performance per dollar."

Like every review of Rome is like this. AMD released an incredible product. Credit where credit is due is not fanboyism.

There would be recovery methods that would be different for each company, depending on how secure they'd like it to be.

The least-secure but the most convenient way would be to fall back to SMS OTP to recover the account.
If more security is required, companies can revoke access to the lost trusted device, and either delete the account or manually allow a certain device to enroll as a new trusted device after verifying the user's identity through a customer support team.

For a more balanced approach, we're considering requiring more than 1 trusted device, or have a friend recovery group to approve the account recovery on a new device.

But this is definitely something we're trying to improve. We'd appreciate any suggestions!
I don't agree - I think you come across a lot more persuasive when you attack the ideas rather than the person and you do it with less colorful language.

Otherwise I think you only 'persuade' people that already agree with you and others that might have otherwise changed their minds are alienated.

That said, I generally like the idea of not banning people and I have a high tolerance for this kind of communication not really bothering me that much - but I still think it's generally bad form and probably does scare away others.
It's just a power grab and has gone on forever in many forms. Redefine language and classify certain language as non-compliant under the guise of whatever it is that works to your advantage. Then use this to create systemic policy to dictate towards your goals and ultimately control whatever resource it is you were trying to colonize or acquire.

Language is power and can greatly influence and define what masses of people think about their world view and their experience. Those who get to define which language is "appropriate" and which is not have a certain power to take as they please. "Tone-policing", "cancel culture", and "identity politics" aren't unique in the sense that they are designed to seize power, as this is a tale as old as time. It's a strategy that proponents believe will help their in-group and followers acquire and maintain power over cultural resources.

I'm not saying this example is good, bad, or neutral - just what it is: Using language to project influence and power and take the cultural resources you want.
State of NY still hasn't changed the rules for WFH for civil service.
Given that the free software world struggles to resolve the relatively simple moral conundrum of whether or not licenses should require people to share, adding another layer of moral and ethical concerns on top - around the idea of trying to define good and bad uses for software - is a heck of an ambitious problem; as such there's a lot of good arguments for and against a candidate who wants the OSI to pick up that work.

It's unfortunately that the esr clown show has derailed that with the ravings of a man who, quite to the contrary of one of his sayings, doesn't contribute much code and won't shut up; and the rather than introducing any cogent or interesting thoughts on the topic, has simply sprayed abuse around like an out-of-control honeywagon. The OSI will be a great deal better off for his absence.
I seem to recall a post on his blog where he addressed this point. IIRC, his conclusion was that if it had not been him, then then the culture/movement/whatever would have eventually invented someone else like him. That is, someone would have eventually noticed the same things, come to the same or similar conclusions, recognized (or at least thought) they had the social skills/aptitude needed to successfully promote the ideas to the wider world, and gotten started. I can't disagree with that. The question to me is whether that would have happened around the same time, or if it would have taken several more years for the same things to click for someone else.
Yup, but it should free up professor time by a large amount. Manpower is still limited, but far more manpower is available compared to before.

Heh... Recalling a demonstration by an EE prof way back when. He had the bank of capacitors charging up on his desk, and was writing on the blackboard the equations of how much energy was stored. Hand raised in the back of the room. "Uh, Dr. Miagawa, I think you slipped a decimal point there." Prof looks over his work again, says "Oh, dear" unplugs the charger and backs away. He tapes two meter sticks together with a screwdriver on the end to discharge his little electrobomb. WHAMO, screwdriver vaporizes.

Ask HN: Best CI Tool for React Native Binaries
My company is struggling with automating React Native Binary builds. Using CircleCi for every other CI automation but MacOs pricing seems so expensive!

We tried
- TravisCi https://travis-ci.org/
- NeverCode https://nevercode.io/
- AppCenter https://appcenter.ms/

None of that seems really satisfying in terms of pricing / performance / ease of configuration. What is everyone using for that?
Reading about it, I realized I've built stuff like this for a long time. I built websites with Hugo and other static HTML generators before that, adding React components to make some pages dynamic and calling into an API for some of the user interaction. The simplest case of this was a contact form in React which posted to /api/contact, a simple Ruby server which sent emails.

Some "dynamic" server side content was also easily included in a cronjob. That way I fetched the Twitter feed of a few accounts and rendered this into the static HTML.

I did it, because it was really fast to build, could scale, development and deployment was easy for the HTML, etc.

What I didn't had at the time was FaaS and I think the architecture could benefit from this. I had Docker containers running the API and the reverse proxy needed to do some routing, so I still had a server running, but I didn't need a database. I had to teach the marketing department how to write Markdown in GitLab editors, though.

On your 2nd point, you can tell Svelte that your data is mutable, in which case it will do deep equality. However, the benefits of immutable data often mean it's worth just reassigning the variable.

Nothing, imho. He maintained the jargon file and some irrelevant old unix utilities for a while.

I know exactly who you are talking about. I’ve had some heated exchanges with them on Twitter.

I've noticed people take offense if you mention that the survival rate is 99.5% if you're under about 50. Because you're minimizing the seriousness.

I'm not surprised that people take offense if you imply that some people will still die, because you're contributing to the hysteria.
it affects all loads, but for sgx the attacker scenario is that you have compromised the OS, which makes it significantly easier to create the conditions (faults/microcode assists) that cause the LVI than if you were just another userspace program (but it's not impossible there either)
That is pretty spammy and, frankly, obnoxious. Not only is language constantly evolving, chances are that people didn't actually ask to be corrected (using commonly used and understood language), much less by a bot?

> I think open source has a serious problem in the sense that there are a lot of projects headed by single, rather abusive and obsessed individuals.

Individuals, who, let's not forget that, are the reason the projects exist in the first place, and who may feel more attachment to the projects than others. That they react more strongly to the impression that some other group is trying to take over their project, often years or decades of their life, and destroy it (by their standards) is understandable, I think.

And also, let's not forget that those seeking control via CoC are often equally abusive, they just strategically limit their abusiveness to Twitter & co and keep it off of official mailing lists to be able to say "I always stayed professional (here, while I was backstabbing everywhere else)".

You should seriously re-examine that argument, because it couldn’t be further from the truth. Critically engage with content on mainstream news and the lenses through which they cast minorities through.

> At other schools the online offerings for courses can be more expensive than the in-person offerings.

The school where I earned my master's degree had two programs, one online and one in-person. There were several differences, but the most salient one was that the in-person program conferred an academic degree while the online one conferred a professional degree, and the online one had significantly higher tuition.

The fact that many state universities have policies limiting how rapidly academic degree programs' tuition can increase, but not the professional ones, is, I assume, just a coincidence.

Ask HN: How do I (a bad developer) turn my career around?
I've been skating by for about 5 years now, basically just by the skin of my teeth avoiding termination at every job I've ever had. I'm never able to keep up with the information that's constantly being thrown at me, never sure what questions to ask to get where I need to be, and I never know how to approach a problem because every domain just feels so complex and overwhelming. I've tried taking notes, implementing my own features, and learning outside of work. Every time I start a project I have to go back to the Hello World doc for whatever framework/language I'm implementing it in. It's hard to recall even the simplest things sometimes. I write JS every day and a week ago I forgot how to use the .map function that I've used a thousand times. I've accepted the fact that my brain is just not wired for software development. I've been told for years that it's just imposter syndrome but now that I'm up against the wall at work, I know it's not true. I am about 80% certain I'm not going to make it through my current job. I have a feeling I will likely not last another month. Where do I go from here?
