Microkernels are about reducing the amount of code run in kernel space.

Is this project moving things from user space to kernel space? If so it's the opposite of a microkernel.

E.g. if the Linux kernel becomes aware of the application layer, that really does sound like stuff that used to run in user space is now running in kernel space.

> The movement relies on unnatural mandates that take free choice away from individual researchers,
mandates set and enforced by an onerous cadre of Soros-funded European autocrats.

It came from Ericsson needing to upgrade telephone switch firmware without taking the system down. These telephone switches were often expensive and in physically difficult to reach places so having a standby for a switch-over wasn't viable.

If we can make 2 billion people 10x richer than they are today, market/economic growth is not necessarily capped at 10x. Systems don't have to be linear.

As a contrived example, I would imagine that folks living on $2/day probably buy on average effectively 0 iPhones/year. If somehow they had 10x the wealth they do now, they wouldn't buy 10x the number of iPhones they could previously buy... they would buy almost-infinity-x the number of iPhones they previously could buy, thanks to division by almost-zero.

BTW, my point is not that this is some kind of arithmetic trick, but that 1000x growth just depends on how low the starting baseline is (which is very low, by almost all measures of baseline economic activity/wealth of the $2/day demographic).

Thanks, I appreciate your well-thought-out response. Re "you can just skip the track", I've found that often a new kind of music will initially not sound good to me, but if I force myself to listen to it a bunch, eventually it'll "click" and I'll love it. I think if I just chose music based on what sounds good to me, I'd end up always listening to variations of the same basic kind of music.

Can you post an example of some of this "raw and intense" music? I'm asking sincerely, and I'm baffled why so many people in this subthread seem so resistant to post even one single example. Are you guarding your musical finds close, like they'll run out if someone else listens to them?

You may not generate much income with initial MVP, or whatever you want to call it. The point is to learn while minimizing costs, risks and time to market. To expect greatness without work, is folly..

Your example with the restaurant is a perfect example: Have someone execute the MVP manually. Map routines that works great, optimize and document outcomes. This becomes spec for initial automations.

The alternative could be someone in a corner office applying systems thinking and predicting everything required in the system. This tend to overcomplicate system designs and make them less amenable to adapt over time.
I see this concern a lot with Flutter or similar WASM -> canvas frameworks, and I think it's unfounded. Just because it's a canvas doesn't mean there's no accessibility. Indeed, even desktop apps are canvas like in that one cannot view the source and they can render using similar frameworks like Skia, or even Skia itself, yet they still have accessibility.

Flutter's developers have specifically included accessibility settings that devs should use, such as Semantics widgets, just like aria labels for the web. Flutter also constructs a separate semantic DOM like tree that screen readers hook into. So there are both built in things and things that devs can use to make their projects more accessible.

Ask HN: Is the future of audio compression TTS?
I'm coding an audio streaming service right now and can't help wondering... now that computers can speak in any voice (i.e. tacotron) isn't the best compression: Step 1. Take the audio from the mic and convert it to english. Step 2. Send that english down the wire, it is TINY compared to even opus compressed audio. Step 3. Have computer at other end read that english in the desired voice. (I say english but could be spanish or German or etc.)
I'm not going to rewrite comments that have been presented in this thread (I usually use the name Main Delightful Product), but I'll make an argument for ugly MVPs :

All products and features don't have to bring joy to users. Sometimes they just are sick of their problem. The fulfillment of their pain don't translate into appreciation of the product. Examples could be safety features (security alarm, protective gear,..) or reliability enhancer (monitoring software,...)

Doing an ugly MVP will give you plenty of proofs of concept, and will provide the majority of what users want : the solution to their pain point. Taking the extra time to make it lovable will only impact marginally the perception of value from your users
It almost feels like HoTMaiL all over again.

For those too young to remember, Microsoft bought Hotmail (forget the silly CamelCasing, we know that HoTMaiL was HTML + mail by now) which was based on FreeBSD+Apache and was champing at the bit to use it to demonstrate the scalability and stability of their then relatively new NT operating system and the IIS web server. Let's just say that... things did not go the way Microsoft would have wanted and the demonstration more or less achieved the opposite of what they intended. It took them a long time to move the frontend to Windows and an even longer time to do the same to the backend.

They won't make that mistake again but they might succumb to featuritis or wrongfooted attempts to steer Github-users further and further into the Microsoft world.
And now they've bought npm as well! We're cornered.

The Canadian comparison had nothing to do with my comment, or the GP post to which I replied. I cited a cost, and provided the source for it. You're assuming I was in some way affirming the other conclusions of that article: I was not, and did not consider them one way or another. The GP comment was about rising administrative costs. I gave the source & amount of those costs. That was all. I otherwise agree with you: administrative costs are not the prime culprit in understanding why US costs are so high.
> They can sell off some of their balance sheet or raise interest rates to reduce the amount of money in the system.

The Fed was unable to unwind more than ~$650B out of $4T from their balance sheet in one of the longest expansion periods in US history. How will they do this? This is not a rhetorical question, I am genuinely curious in how people think this will be done if the Federal Reserve itself can't do it (either reducing the balance sheet or influencing the target rate above low single digits).

Ask HN: Internships in High School?
Hey! I'm Uzay, and I'm in high scool right now. I'm super passionate about tech and programming and I was super excited to be doing an internship at kitty hawk this summer.

Unfortunately, it got cancelled but this is a small inconvenience considering the global situation.

I was wondering if any of you guys ever managed to get tech internships while in high school.

I have been working on lots of projects but I wanted to see what it'd be like interning in a tech company to learn more about the career.

If you know of any opportunities, my github is https://github.com/Uzay-G and you can check out some of my projects there. Also I have a blog / personal website here at http://uzpg.me

Thanks for your help, and best of luck in these trying times!

Edit: I am comfortable with Ruby/Rails, Python and webdev with JS. I'm also beginning to learn c++ to get into competitive programming.
The ownership is nothing more than symbolic. They have absolutely no control over the Federal Reserve. They can set no policy, they dictate nothing through the 'ownership.' They receive profits in exchange for participating in the system, it's a lure for drawing in private banking participation.

The profit share ("dividends") the banks receive is trivial, a couple percent of the Fed's profits. Typically 96-98% of profit is sent to the US Treasury.

it does seem like you choose to pick arguments when people generalise, opting to show how there are examples that go against their point. Even though they may be unique examples that are the opposite to what someone claims but are unrepresentative of reality. This doesn't add to the discussion, in fact it detracts because it devolves into an unnecessary flamewar. HN is not reddit so please dont try and make it like that. I hope you can see how you were being disingenous, regardless it makes me not want to continue the discussion anymore as I dont feel you are engaging honestly and are just trying to score points.

Ergs is pretty commonly used in physics. A 100 solar mass star is very massive: 150 solar masses is about the theoretical limit for a star.
Yep, Pi2 was totally OK as a video playback machine unless you were trying to play H.265/HEVC files, in which case it'd struggle with them over SD resolutions. Pi4 adds hardware decoding for that so now it's fine.

I'm not sure you understand what you're saying. The chips are quite a lot more efficient than they were in iPhone 5/8. You might have to scale back slightly on frequency for both power and thermal design but it won't be close to the water through sieve metaphor you put in.
WASM provides enough memory safety so that memory corruption errors in the WASM heap can't be used to escape the sandbox (assuming there's no exploitable bug in the sandbox itself of course). It doesn't protect from memory corruption inside the WASM heap of course.
The difference is astounding in virtualbox. Ubuntu Gnome is nearly unusable- mint works pretty well. Using i3 for Ubuntu helps quite a bit.
I haven’t tried this in ages. Some ideas:

Have you had a developer account before that you might have forgotten about and that might use the same Apple ID? Can you create a new ID? (I don’t remember if you need an Apple ID.)

Have you moved to another country? For example, is the Apple ID registered in country A and you’re trying to enroll in country B? Can you create a new ID in country B?

Does your payment method work? Last September, I noticed that the online Apple Store in Germany follows the new process in the EU when paying with credit cards online. That is, you have to enable your card to allow online payments. Other businesses still use the old method where you only need the three-digit number on the back of the card. Check with your bank or credit card company and enable online payments. It is not enabled by default. Call the phone number printed on the card and they walk you through the process.

Do you have to supply tax information so that proceeds from the sale of your app can be reported correctly? Are you missing documents, tax IDs, W8-BEN (tax treaty benefits, needed for US tax purposes when you’re a citizen of another country), or similar documents? I haven’t done this myself. I don’t know if you need all this. Just throwing it out there.
There can be subtle bugs, especially if you have code which has to adhere to a strict on-disk or on-network format.

I recently committed a change to FreeBSD's kernel (written in C) which I'd tested on amd64 and x86. Much to my surprise, when I did the cross-build for all platforms, I had a compile-time assert fail on 32-bit arm because the size of a struct was too large. It turns out that 32-bit arm (at least on FreeBSD) naturally aligns 8 byte data types to 8 byte boundaries, whereas x86 packs them and allows them to straddle the 8 byte boundary. This left a 4-byte hole in my struct, and caused it to be 4 byte too large.

These are the sorts of things that bite you when moving from x86/x86_64 to a risc platform, even when its the same endian.

Yup, and so does Rock Pi (I think they're even cross-compatible). Unfortunately the official Raspberry hat maxes out at 2.5A, which starts being problematic if you add a single power-hungry peripheral, like an external USB disk. I've even gotten warnings on insufficient power in dmesg with zero peripherals attached on a 4B+.

So far I had no issues with DSLRKIT's third-party hats, though!
"Three of the SSEs—in Japan, Skagit County, WA, and Singapore—involved concert-goers and singing groups belting out tunes together over a period of hours. (The Skagit example is particularly interesting, because the organizers were aware of the COVID-19 risk beforehand, and took the precaution of spacing out the participants by several feet. If they had been merely chatting, instead of singing, no one might have gotten sick.)"

Imagine how bad Austin would have been if SXSW had actually gone ahead given how hellbent they were on going through with it. It would have been much much worse state than it is now. It is a positive that the government listened to health officials and shut it all down despite the complaining to the contrary. Economies never work well in sickened environments.

It is definitely GPU + heat related, but disabling the GPU is an unacceptable solution. People paid top dollar for a Macbook Pro with a fast GPU, you don't tell them to write off the premium they paid for that feature by disabling it.

But here's what the real problem was. Apple pretended the problem didn't exist for a very long time.

There was a huge thread on the Apple Support site related to this issue that was literally hundreds of pages long that spanned over a year. People were resorting to baking their logic boards in an oven to fix the issue, albeit temporarily.

Many people eventually gave up and wrote off the hardware before Apple finally acknowledged the issue with a repair order. This happened to me. I had the logic board replaced once already while under AppleCare (and the issue came back a few months later, but there was no point in constantly having the logic board replaced with another having the same design flaw). Just before my Applecare lapsed, it died. I wasn't going to pay $500+CAD for another defective board.

I was lucky I kept my unit around long enough when the repair order (recall) was issued. It still ended up dying a while later.

Apple had many options to make their affected users whole. They make enough money that they could have replaced everyone's 2011 model with a 2012 model (even a refurb would have been OK) which had none of those issues. Had they done that, I'd probably still be a Mac user (using that very same 2012 model) right now.

In the end, that experience completely soured me from Apple.

It seems when things like MVP, Agile or OOP are invented they are useful observations. But as soon as they become popular they get distorted to the point they don’t make sense anymore or are even damaging. At this point whenever I read something about MVP it seems it’s mainly discussing semantics and ideology. Time for a new buzzword cycle.
The big problem with MVP is that it is now simply one more corporate buzzword. Many using the term may have heard the 30-second description from a colleague and now repeat it freely. Like a game of telephone, what was said and what was heard about MVP keep changing. As such, it has lost most of its meaning and has no firm definition. It's an easy target for a piece like this, given the circumstances.

At least in my organization it had no useful definition. Usually the term MVP would be thrown around by management as reasoning for any number of decisions. Taking too long to understand a core technology limitation - my lucky MVP ball says just get it sort-of working and ship it. Regressing on performance to meet an arbitrary timeline - just make it MVP (in our organization this meant ship on time, no matter the content). Reducing cost by shipping completely untested designs - that's what MVP is. Not that any of these examples couldn't or shouldn't be viewed with the MVP rubric, but it didn't seem to mean anything in particular.
is there an apt-file equivalent for available snap packages?

I rely strongly on this tool and would be sad to lose its functionality if everything becomes snap-based.
In my consulting experience MVP doesn't have much to do with whether the least amount of work to make the thing possible is being done, but has mostly been used as a negotiating tactic when fighting for scope-- "We'll save that feature for V1, but we're going to focus on these features for MVP"
