Wikipedia says one Chinese manufacturer, Geely, sold 1.5 million vehicles last year [0]; that probably includes 700K Volvos [1] (they bought Volvo from Ford in 2010), so I'm guessing 600-700K domestic Chinese-produced vehicles. If they had successfully switched production, we'd be talking, what, 100s of thousands of devices a month? But not a word. If they were even making a few 10s of thousands a month I don't think we'd be having this conversation.

Yeah, Xbox and PlayStation are basically differentiating on services and exclusive IP at this point. Things like ability to cross play, online services, etc. Xbox Live used to be huge, and then Sony caught up. Microsoft tried to shift the Xbox One into a home entertainment center and that failed miserably. Sony has stuff like the PSVR.

Nintendo's really the only one really trying to do something different and not just go for the latest and greatest hardware. They have the benefit of having a lot of beloved IP and ability to make great games around them, so raw computing power is less of a focus.

It's more like people are talking about the Spanish flu a lot, and at the same time realizing that the "Spanish" part actually misinformed them.

I was talking to someone about the Spanish flu and they casually commented "oh last time it's Europe now it's Asia's turn". Took me a few more minutes to inform them it's not from Spain. Both of us now realized that's a bad name. It's also the first time we mention "Spanish flu" in our lives, there's no problem using a more accurate name.

I see this as a community effort to use a more convenient word. It's not that political, no political party or government agencies are actively pushing for it.
The logs don't say much. It's mostly the API server getting hammered by nodes and various components.
why 3%? to overcome inflation? and why on everything instead of grossly disadvantaged industries? i haven't spent much time thinking about such details, so curious about the rationale.
If anyone is look for a good analysis of the data coming out, definitely follow Derek's blog. He does a great job simplifying the data and has a strong scientific bent, if evidence is weak, he'll say so.

Setting the tradeoff in cost / effectiveness where Google did is probably part of the alchemy of what made them successful in the way they are successful (though offering better customer service and "white glove" treatment to a smaller customer base is also extremely likely to be a viable business model).
Add lots of light. Lots. Good for the soul and good for the eyes. Check the research coming out of China over the last 10y regarding eyes and light, and there are lots of studies on mood and light levels from the Nordic countries.

Back in the day I built a 6x40w flourescent ramp right above my work desk, 3 phase staggered for effective 150Hz to eliminate the flicker. Worked wonders to get me out of my Murder-Winter-Zombie state during my PhD Up North.

Nowadays there are sooo many good diode ramps available. And fortunately I can take lots of time outside nowadays as well. Still 20/20 vision :)
Exactly. Once the occupying force was removed from those countries the underlying ethnic conflict resumed openly. Similar things will happen elsewhere as US military power wanes.
Skylinesort appears to beat radix sort when the data is clustered, as it caches better, which is especially true when the number of unique elements is low.

The other thing about it that's better is that Skylinesort is the only sorting algorithm that is downward-concave, i.e. it takes less time to sort a list of size a (keeping clustering constant) than it takes to sort two lists of size a/2. In other words, it shows economies of scale. It has been a long-remarked paradox that sorting algorithms take longer per element when there's more elements.
Weird, most of the fastest-feeling sites I use are server-side rendered. Though I doubt they use any JS in that path. Maybe basic html Gmail does but probably it’s Java or something.

In mathematics, we do actually take logically self-defeating objects to be non-existent, as a matter of classical reasoning: If they don't exist, then they must not-exist; otherwise, they would exist, and immediately defeat themselves in a puff of logic [5]. Such classical reasoning can reject a large number of similarly-shaped objects [2], and Russell's antimony is actually only the tip of the iceberg of a bundle of formal results, notably Tarski's [3] and Lawvere's [4].

The Gödel Machine algorithm [0][1] is only a few years old, and it cannot yet be tested due to practical hardware constraints, but it provably implements a system which wonders, specifically, about which direction of proof search will speed up its ability to search for proofs, to consider directions, or to wonder.

You are a programmer ?
I think if there were better SQL tooling you'd see more people embrace it. It boggles me that given the age of SQL it hasn't gotten better tooling.

For example I'd love to move more application logic into postgresql functions, but it's such a pita to run and test I end up procrastinating.

I've been playing with postgREST for a while now and have yet to implement it outside of toy projects. Not because of postgREST itself (which is really cool) but because writing business logic in postgresql is so painful.

Annoying because most CRUD apps could live almost completely in the database exposing views and functions via REST to the end user with w/e flavor of the month UI you like. Oh and they'd run orders of magnitude faster.

I'm not even complaining about SQL syntax, which IMO is actually pretty clean and functional. Just the lack of decent tooling to get shit done.

Reasons to Use Random Forest over a Neural Network:Comparing ML& Deep Learning
>So when given a choice to a 65 year old to die or take an unapproved drug.

Did not say that. Allow them to elect to take the drug, however, we still need to follow up, and keep track of the outcomes. Data is critical to avoid outcomes where we end up dropping bombs on houses to put out the housefire. Again, see Thalidomide.

>We are going to run out ventilators and will ration them.

Likely. I also believe that there should be a much greater tolerance allowed for expediting supply chains to make components for new ones; but data is also key. A fabrication method that results in immediate complications needs to have a quickly followed audit trail to ensure remedial action can take place quickly to minimize additional harm. That doesn't mean you can't compromise on some non or less critical tolerances while you're at it.

>Virus is showing long term effects even in children.

Noted, let's try not to add onto that by releasing something untested that causes severe side-effects as well.

>Known long terms issues is worse than hypothetical issues.

Difference: the known long term issues from the virus alone would happen with or without intervention in some portion of the population. Long term issues that arise as a complication via treatment would not happen except that weren't diligent enough.

Many of the GxP's are, in fact, written in blood. I'm fine with getting adventurous and experimenting, but we need to be tracking outcomes so interventions can take place at the first sign of trouble too.

It isn't easy. Quality never is. There is a damn good reason for you to put in the extra work to make it happen regardless.
You know, that's a really good thought!
I think that should work fine in WSL1. You just need to know that inside the WSL file system /home is not Windows %Home% (C:\Users\ or localized equivalent) and you want to use the \\wsl$ path for working with /home from Windows applications. The easiest way to tell if your WSL1 version is setup to provide \\wsl$ paths is to try `explorer.exe .` in the console in the directory you want the \\wsl$ path to. If it opens somewhere random in %System32% or %LocalAppData% then it doesn't support it (request an upgrade from your IT Admin).

Pardon the ad hominem, but this is mostly marketing FUD from someone with a vested interest in you not using Kubernetes. Kubernetes may not be perfect, but I guarantee you the licenses are a lot cheaper than whatever "NanoVMs" are.

The tone is also very arrogant and condescending. Not a great way to win mind share in this industry.

I think I'd need a citation on why "prejudice and propaganda" applies here. The US doesn't turn to sanctions flippantly (it's not in the US's economic interests, in general, to take a trading partner off the table).
Some teachers CAN work from home (not PE, Home-Econ teachers, etc.), but it's a less-than-ideal situation.

Are children self-motivated enough to work from home? I know many adults who aren't. Without adults to keep children accountable a total work-from-home schooling is likely to create gaps in the kid's education. And which type of child is the least likely to have an adult around keeping them accountable? Impoverished children.
The ISS's orbit is inclined 51.6 degrees; the southernmost point of Hudson Bay is at 51.2 degrees latitude or so (from Google Maps). So the ISS just barely goes over Hudson Bay.

In Europe, 51.6 north is roughly the latitude of London, Amsterdam, Berlin, or Warsaw.
GitHub hast to follow EU legislation already - see GDPR for a famous one.
You need to do a post-mortem on this. What exactly did Aurelia do to trigger this to start with? A contribution from a sanctioned country? A github issue posted by someone from a sanctioned country? How exactly are open source projects supposed to avoid this possibility if they don't happen to literally be Rob Eisenberg? How many other project repositories have been disabled because of this problem? Is Github doing a review of the processes? Highly doubtful Aurelia's the only one affected, but it might be the only one so far to be able to make it to HN front page.
Natural language and non verbal communication are difficult. I have found that it can be especially difficult for some technically minded people such as yourself, while some people seem to do it effortlessly. I give this advice freely to my friends: you're a hacker, so hack it.

There are an abundance of resources out there for learning social skills, I'd recommend selecting just a few and memorizing them using spaced repetition. These resources will give you social exercises, like asking how a cashier's day is going before doing business with them. I'd recommend memorizing each of the exercises as well, because you will never know when or where you will be able to do an exercise, despite the book(s) telling you it is critical to do each exercise in order, and only to continue reading after having done the exercise -- disregard the author in these cases.

This won't make you a hot shot sales guy or a presidential candidate right away. Think of it as learning to program for the first time. In the beginning the language, syntax, memory allocation, and data types seem like "the" thing to know in order to code, and later on we laugh, because we were missing the forest for the trees. But the thing is, knowing those things are prerequisites to being able to build towards the larger picture of the system as a whole. When you memorize social skills and nuance, that knowledge will initially lie dormant in your mind, and that is an incredibly powerful place for it to be, do not feel guilty for not putting the tools to work right away. Then on some morning you might be in line about to order a muffin, and you might talk to someone in line, or the cashier. You might see some people joking around on a bus. You will start to see the things you've memorized coming to life, and you will have that "oh shit, I can do anything, can't I?" snap moment that comes for many good programmers and engineers.

Some people might look down on you for memorizing social skills, so don't tell them. What they don't realize is that as an engineer, you invested more time in learning technical skills, and as a consequence of that you invested less time learning social skills. Everybody that has a "type A" charismatic personality has memorized/learned it as well, just in a different context.

Also, many books will touch on the concept of confidence, or just have it generally implied. The easiest way to get it is through physical exercise. Cardio for clarity and weights for willpower.
Sounds like it's effective immediately, so if you don't like it, cut your plan. No one's on contract.
If you try, you’ll hit the “can’t change it now, too many people rely on the output in scripts!” noise.

Really, just some whitespace in between the interfaces like in ifconfig would go a long way.
It's not that it doesn't play fair. Sun published under a license that made inclusion in the kernel impossible thus the current developers are bound by the same decisions regardless of their opinion on the matter.

Furthermore it is profoundly curious to claim that a cross platform filesystem that began life on Solaris and existed for years as a stable complete work before being ported to several OS including Linux becomes by virtue of a bridge a derivative work of Linux. It's magical thinking.

It is entirely acceptable that they aren't responsible for out of tree code working but it would be great if they didn't deliberately sabotage other projects which is what they did here.

>My tolerance for ZFS is pretty non-existant. Sun explicitly did not want their code to work on Linux, so why would we do extra work to get their code to work properly?

The extra work is 10 seconds of work. How childish and unprofessional.

Which is to say that xbox/ps5 have basically become branded PCs, and the switch is basically a branded Android SoC.

Consoles don't really make sense as a concept anymore. The only remaining appeal is their DRM capability for publishers.
I'm a physicist and I've used mathematica sparingly off and on for several years, mostly manipulating symbolic formulas.

I still do not understand what I'm doing half the time. Mostly just googling and stackoverflow answers get me by. For example, I don't understand why I can't use subscripts as symbols?

Any recommendations on trying to 'get' mathematica?
The idea of mandated tracking of movement and contact tracking via cell phone is a little too dystopian for my tastes. I suppose this sort of thing is already happening with the various corporate social networks and ad-tracking but it is still opt-in. Requiring it to access public space is too big brother and subject to abuse by authoritarian governments both here and abroad.
Nice it only took a global pandemic to accomplish the free sharing of information that Aaron Swartz was trying to accomplish:

"In 2011, Swartz was arrested by Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) police on state breaking-and-entering charges, after connecting a computer to the MIT network in an unmarked and unlocked closet, and setting it to download academic journal articles systematically from JSTOR...

Swartz declined a plea bargain under which he would have served six months in federal prison. Two days after the prosecution rejected a counter-offer by Swartz, he was found dead in his Brooklyn apartment, where he had hanged himself."

> Unfortunately, the client wasn’t happy about the projected and past expense, and shut down the project weeks after the development team was starting to show traction.

Translation: development team did not manage customer's expectations.
For me it's more nuanced, and I wish I saw more of it.

You make your prototype or fit your product with a rapid dev framework, Rails is pretty much built for that, it doesn't intend to scale beyond it (see Basecamp: they don't pile onto a monolith, they make fresh new versions).

One you get that product fit, your codebase should still be small enough to rebuild it quickly in a more stable language. Java, C#, Go, Rust, whatever... something that gives you better runtime guarantees without requiring bonkers amounts of language hacks so you can spend less time writing unit tests and stubs and mocks.

nobody is going to stockpile food or consumer goods when you're demonized for charging more for them when the demand goes up. there's no way to do anything but lose money on it.
How are we supposed to vet Github accounts to know whose contributions we can accept? This is crazy.

Man, LucasArts' 90's games were the best! I have vivid memories of feeling totally immersed in Monkey Island and Loom in particular.

Do you have any recent favorites with a similar feel?
Makes me think of the Kings Quest games. In Kings Quest 5 you could find a pie and then you could eat it. But you needed it later to throw in the face of a Yeti.

Still loved those games though
I don't use Tailwind much, but couldn't you still use the Zen Garden style of CSS with Tailwind's @apply?
People are far too concerned with these things anyway, IMO. All ways work well enough and perhaps I'm just ignorant, but in the past 25 years I haven't seen a single good example of a situation where someone won against the competition because of better presentation or better choice of frontend framework. That excludes those who shot themselves in the foot with Flash though.

IOW, put the effort into backends / core functionality and not elegant styling or elaborate frameworks.
I don’t believe that could possibly be true. The current ICU makeup in the US is 2-4% for ages 20-44. That’s a 10-20x increase you’re proposing. And yes, you can say that they’re triaging, but for this to be possible you’d need truly enormous numbers of infected individuals AND tons and tons of triaging going on which doesn’t feel accurate based on what news says.

Replace "programmer" and "doctor" with almost any other professions and it would be just as true. Strategies like "Break problems into sub-problems" is in no way specific to these fields. You might as well say "Being a carpenter will make me a better CEO", and for exactly the same reasons.
This is pretty awesome! Do you mind if I ask what you use for the video chat piece? Any specific lib?
It is crazy. I'm kind of one of those people.

Between my last two roles, familiarity and/or proficiency with the following technologies was required:
React/Redux/JS/TS, Node/NPM, PostgreSQL, AWS (specifically Redis, ElasticSearch, Cloudwatch, CodePipeline, Lambda, S3, SQS, and RDS), Kotlin/Java/Spring/Maven/Gradle, C#/ASP.NET/MVC, Python, etc.

As well as testing frameworks / unit testing technologies like Selenium, JMeter, Postman/Chai, and Junit/Nunit/Pytest.

All of this hit me like a brick in the face over a 3 year period. I am NOT a master of any of them, but was definitely expected to be able to readily work with them. At times, it felt like I was supporting 5-6 different roles.

These were two startups with <100 people, so maybe that's why.
Haven't they already won that war? USA created ISIS, gave ISIS lots of weapons and logistical support, then assassinated the guy who beat ISIS while he was in diplomatic talks with supposed USA ally Iraq. In response, Iran says "we will destroy buildings at the following addresses", allows time for those buildings to be evacuated, then their guided missiles destroy exactly those buildings. USA military brass then downgraded Iran from their "let's go to war now" list...

I'm confused. Doesn't AMD already have support for PCIe 4.0? The ASUS ROG Strix X570 series has it as a feature for sure. And the NVMe M.2 SSDs using PCIe 4.0 are out as well.
The Crash Bandicoot CTR game that's a remake of a PS1 game takes anywhere between 2 and 5 minutes to start up on my Xbox One. It's absolutely ridiculous.
Has it really shown that, or is it just survivorship bias? How many open source projects have failed despite having all those attributes?
This was an example of where web developers really should've known better in advance. They literally coded an intentional new way for people to make popup ads, and it's the primary use of the web notifications API.

I regularly hear of complaints about spammy popups on people's computers, even when they don't "have the web browser open". And it turns out it's just stock Google Chrome, doing exactly what Google Chrome was designed to do: Pop up ads, that everyone has since started shipping ads through.
The problem with bright themes used like that is that "high" contrast is still not very high at all, unless you go for OLED technology - but then you'd want to use green-on-black anyway to minimize wear on the display elements.
Really good to see a proper response here.

Thanks, and I'm sure this will be cleared up, but it is really strange how this flagging is taking place..
