tldr: 6502 is very similar to 8086 and doing a binary translation is fairly straightforward. But, it turns out that many instructions that took multiple cycles on the 6502 now execute in a single cycle on x64 and pipeline deeply with other ops. So, the effective performance of a 4Ghz x64 resembles that of a 15Ghz 6052.
This article begs the question. It just assumes that working in an office improves motivation. The article they point to says co-working environments improve perceived productivity, not motivation.

I've worked in a remote job for more than three years. I can say that the most important thing to stimulate productivity is to create clear signals for yourself that you are engaged in work time, not play time. Having a coworking environment is one way to do that. You get out of the house, to a place free of domestic distractions—you aren't tempted to wash the dishes or watch TV instead of working. But you also explicitly demarcate the work portion of your day. You can also achieve this separation by having a work desk/computer and a distinct personal space for games, email, paying the bills, etc.

The other thing that a coworking situation can provide is social reinforcement. My approach to that issue, as a remote worker has been two-fold. First, make an extra effort to engage with your coworkers. Make time for chitchat about life and whatever random crap comes up as well as work related topics, you'd be doing this in an office environment without even thinking about it. Secondly, get out of the house regularly—I found that going and working in a coffee shop or library at least once a week provided a nice change of scenery. If you become a regular, other regulars will come to recognize you, and you can socialize there as well.

Humans are creatures of habit. We respond strongly to various cues that let us know what we are doing at any given time. Wrapping your work life in a set of ritual activities and signifiers that distinguish it from your personal time improves focus and productivity.
Why is this downvoted? Seems to present a cogent argument (whereas its parent is a mere assertion) and I'm interested to see any well-sourced rebuttals to it. Anecdotally, I have had a similar impression -- it seems to me like across a wide variety of product categories, it's rare if even possible to find American manufacturers. Go even to a high end department store selling upmarket goods and check where manufactured items are made; very few complex products seem to be in the US.

Edit -- by comparison, when I lived in Japan I found it extraordinarily easy to buy locally made products of all sorts; pots and pans, coffee mugs, water bottles, stationery, clothes, shoes, electronics, tools, injection molded plastic items, paper products, everything. Even in their equivalent of dollar stores. Sometimes they were a bit more expensive than those produced in China/Vietnam/Indonesia, but often they were price competitive. It was weird coming back to North America and adapting to not being able to find anything locally made.
This doesn't seem like an optimal strategy from a candidate's point of view. There may be a multitude of scenarios in which case an employer blanket bans anyone with a criminal history. Not everyone is as forgiving as you. Given that a candidate may make the broadly the right tactical decision in not disclosing - just not the right decision for you - are you so wiling to attribute malice to the candidate? I think you would be penalizing them for simply acting rationally (i.e it pays off more often than not).

Respect Your Craft
I saw something similar a couple of decades ago when I was living in Austin and working at a well-known game development house. There was a Chinese restaurant close to the office, a really good one. We ate there all the time, enough to get to know a couple of the waiters pretty well. One of them, a guy by the name of Bruce, was especially friendly and professional. He always remembered us, spoke perfect English, never let our drinks run dry. We'd ask to be seated in Bruce's section when we saw he was working. He always got big tips.

One day he mentioned that he had an MSEE degree from a university back home in China. Cue record scratch.

That was a deeply unsettling revelation, since a couple of us were EE dropouts ourselves. How'd I drop out of school and end up with my dream job, while Bruce finished his master's program and ended up serving Szechuan shrimp? WTF was up with that? What if, in my next life, I'm the one who gets hosed like this?

I didn't wake up the next day with a hangover or anxiety -- not with the ego that it took to run in that crowd -- but I certainly had a new perspective on things. If people think that even a STEM degree is going to be an automatic ticket to ride through the good life, there's some massive disillusionment coming.

And I don't think it's going to matter whether you're from China or the US or anywhere else. Not in the long run.
I don't think that the mixing of definitions and statement has any effect on how the stack frame space is (re)used: even if all variable definitions are collected at the beginning of the block, it may still be possible for the compiler to find the points inside the block after which some of the variables are no longer used while some others are brought into action; such variables could, then, share the same space despite having the same lexical scope.
Call me cynical, but when I read the news of the breach I went and bought EFX call options for 3 months. Because even though I am not sure whether the "deep state" exists or it's a conspiracy theory, I was somehow confident that I was making a good investment. It has paid off handsomely indeed.

JFTR, this is supported on Linux as well and, especially when using LVM, is quite simple and straightforward.

You can do it manually [0,1] or using tools made for just this purpose, such as mylvmbackup [2] (which should be available in most distribution's package repositories).

COM is primarily used in-process, it exposes an ABI that allows multiple languages to operate on a common object model within the same process. That's why you can import COM controls into a .Net application by referencing the DLL in your project and work with them as if they were native CLR objects - or Python, Ruby, Perl, etc. for that matter.
Still not even close to the clusterfuck that is Intel CPU's
Well, if you consider phones, sure. But for people who still need desktop/laptop computers for gaming, programming, video editing, photo editing, and heavy business use (spreadsheets, desktop publishing, etc), then Intel is still, by far, in the lead.

Natural gas is cheaper, produces less greenhouse emissions, can be ramped up/down quicker, and produces less other toxic emissions (fly ash is horrible stuff) per kWh than coal. It's better in every way than coal. The only reason China is still building coal is because they're China and they don't give a fuck.

re: batteries and mining lithium/cobalt. Sure, mining 1lb of lithium/cobalt isn't any better than mining 1lb of coal, but that 1lb of lithium/cobalt takes you a lot further. You can only burn that 1lb of coal once, but you can cycle that 1lb of lithium/cobalt daily. From a purely environmental standpoint specifically with regards to mining, batteries are still better. However, I don't think the economics are there yet. It will probably be sometime soon though.

You can’t just declare bankruptcy and get a high paying job a year later and have no student debt....

When I looked into personal bankruptcy I was told by my lawyer that it would only make financial sense if there was no way I could pay back the amount owed in the next 7-10 years.
You can have well defined data and use Mongo. Those two things are not related. I worked at a place that used Postgres and put an object w/ 11k unique paths in a single JSONB column with no schema or documentation whatsoever.
So excited, PopOS is by far my favorite distribution. It all started with getting a Darter Pro from work, but now I run it on my personal laptop too.

You probably can't. He appears to like jumping into challenges such as those that AMD was facing and Intel is facing now. The jumping would seem to imply he's doing it to pursue an interesting challenge as the primary. Some personalities need that (others are obviously repelled by that risk & challenge). Lots of big corporations can afford to pay very large sums to retain him, if that were his primary consideration.
Not at all. We knew from Italy that pre-existing conditions were a significant co-conspirator. We knew the elderly were more susceptible.

Yet, the extended care facilities _to this day_ remain a major contributor to the death toll.

Even if you call it hindsight bias, what do you call the current refusal to step back and ask what we've learned so far? To stay the course, with a lack of data to support it? What do we call that?

I would not underestimate the impact bankruptcy plays in someone's life. You would be getting a bankruptcy on your record in the prime of your life (mid-twenties), making it very very difficult to borrow for the next 10 years. You end up starting building credit in your mid to late thirties, and maybe you are able to participate in the modern economy in your forties. It sucks. I lived it.

I've been pleasantly surpised with Pop OS. I'd been a Xubuntu user for nearly 10 years but have switched to Pop because of all the work they've put into hybrid graphics. I like XFCE more but Pop just has so many other good things going for it: auto-tiling, flatpak, hardware support, etc. In fact, my next laptop will probably be System76 Lemur Pro instead of my usual Thinkpad.
I may be misunderstanding the product, but it seems to be able to run a webserver on each "server".
You can pass Cello pointers to old C code that expects and deals with normal pointers.

It's true that the internal array inside a struct cannot magically become a Cello fat pointer. So yes, you cannot pass a pointer to that array into a Cello function that expects a fat pointer, but that's the opposite of "pass normal pointers to old C code".
Even if you're going to be making $200,000 a year after your residency, why not declare bankruptcy as soon as you graduate. It'll save you $200,000 which is totally worth a 10 year hit to your credit
> They said they were saving abused animals from farms, not doing violence to people.

I don't think the crime should matter at all. We, as a society, decided long ago the justice system is the means by which we mete out punishment. So long as they served whatever punishment, if any, was arrived at by verdict of a fair trial/court of competent jurisdiction, refusing to hire someone who has committed certain crimes is a de facto additional punishment for which that person was never given any opportunity to defend themselves from (and that's morally wrong).

Moreover, how are these people supposed to become productive members of society again if nobody offers them a job? Should they only work "those" jobs, not "my" job? Or be forced to find out if they are competent entrepreneurs? The parent's viewpoint is too extreme for any instance.

(This topic has been written about, and I feel like has even topped HN a few times, though I am struggling to find a good citation at the moment.)
Thanks for reading!

That's an interesting point. I did take it for granted that browsers guarantee web apps that they don't send the URL fragment to the server. I've never looked into it, but your comment sent me to read RFC 3986.

From my reading, the RFC does seem to prohibit browsers from sending the URL fragment:

>Fragment identifiers have a special role in information retrieval systems as the primary form of client-side indirect referencing... As such, the fragment identifier is not used in the scheme-specific processing of a URI; instead, the fragment identifier is separated from the rest of the URI prior to a dereference, and thus the identifying information within the fragment itself is dereferenced solely by the user agent, regardless of the URI scheme.

Granted, the wording isn't 100% clear, so maybe I'm imposing my own hopeful interpretation on the RFC.

I agree that if I were storing, say, military secrets, I wouldn't choose the URL fragment as a storage medium. But if the expectation is "this is a place where I can put user data and the browser won't leak it to other places," then the URL fragment seems to me a sensible place to store data, on par with browser local storage.

This is in contrast with plain URLs which third party servers receive through the HTTP referer header. The browser leaks query parameters to other places, too, notably HTTP proxies. But Stripe's JS library was the first I'd seen of a system that exposes URL fragments to an external service.

This is the reason why the US made so many advances in aerospace, computing and networks during the midcentury. Not to mention the basic research that is funded (insanely cheaply) by the grant-making apparatus of the NIH, NSF, DOD, etc.

I was off, Nationally were underreporting ~47%, NYC is at ~60%.

We can argue the pictures and stats in the Washington Post all day long. But either way, we're likely to be underreporting.

Also, though not directly due to the virus itself, the 'avoidable' deaths are kinda due to the pandemic and an over-response-ish factor.

This thing is going to take decades to sort out. Kinda like how people that die from digging up bombs from WW1 are counted in stats as WW1 collateral deaths, still.
Dat and Solid only cover data storage while Urbit also provides a VM to execute apps.
A heavy criticism of a lot of these ubuntu-based distros is "ubuntu + a custom PPA", but system76 does actually put in a lot of work into a custom kernel and some neat UI tweaks that make the OS on their hardware really well. They also have a firmware updater for their systems built into the settings program. The whole experience is a lot more refined than Ubuntu, I believe. It's a great OS for their machines, as well as any laptop with hybrid Intel/Nvidia graphics.
Well, you can start mixing the concrete for the factories before the vaccine is ready if you want to save time.
> "I had an identity breach around this time, it must be causation" as part of their claim. If your identity is stolen by a different party, simultaneously, how do you legally have a right to use that against a different party?

I don't quite follow - do you mean "leaked" by a different party simultaneously? If that's the case, then yes, maybe it is hard to tell which party's data got scooped up by the Bad Guys. And you'd have a hard day in court against even a single actor leaking your data in the US, since it's not a strict liability crime.

In this case it doesn't matter. I did read the article: it says Equifax agreed to a settlement and they need to pay out. They haven't paid out yet. Whatever happens after that agreement doesn't retroactively invalidate the settlement. A settlement is to make the whole thing go away, regardless of whether the breach turned into an identity disaster or a Nothingburger.
At what price?

Every time someone says "Fracking gives us 100 years of reserves", they always omit at what price. If most of that is cost-effective at $120 or $140 / barrel, is it really fair to suggest that's a good reserve?
Is there a reason the triopoly (with Experian and Transunion) persists? I know the bond raters have some government granted status. If it’s the same situation for Experian, maybe they could lose that status to some other company?
I think what the article is alluding to is that "rational behavior" is relative. The behavior by large, established corporations to suppress competition, engage in rent-seeking, regulatory capture and short-term profit extraction is only rational within the current incentive structure and regulatory environment.

Both the author of this article and Andreessen know too little about the alternatives to our current mode of production to really diagnose the problem, let alone offer solutions. The economic problems facing the US lie outside of their vocabulary, so the best they can really imagine are vague ideas to "build", though I appreciate that Isaac Wilks at least understands that building with a kind of conscientious intention can never be divorced from politics.

Andreessen's original article comes across as almost laughably naive.

> I’m with Nicholas Stern when he says that capitalism is how we take care of people we don’t know — all of these fields are highly lucrative already and should be prime stomping grounds for capitalist investment, good both for the investor and the customers who are served.

For some reason I always imagine people with Horowitz's level of wealth and influence as being smarter and more knowledgeable than they are. Anyone who dismisses possible solutions derived from criticism of capitalism so easily is not really serious about finding a solution and should be dismissed, no matter how much money and influence they may have.
On graduation, unless someone has incredible job prospects, wiping out 100k of debt in exchange for not being able to get a mortgage for 7y is a great deal. At 20k it's not great but still pretty good. I bought a house 7y after graduating from college, and I think this was earlier than most of my cohort.

Additionally, I wouldn't even expect a college bankruptcy to fully preclude getting a home mortgage. With a large down payment the bank isn't actually taking that much risk.

(Except that really I expect that if this law changed loans would require cosigners with good credit)

Do they allow it? I was surprised the Huawei Mate 20 Pro, at the time a flagship phone on par with the Note 9 and others, actually had a locked bootloader.

It would've been a good opportunity to allow people to install whatever they want, to show that they're different than Samsung and other competitors, but no, they went and locked that down because of "safety". Mhmmm.
I'd consider a situation where you've got a human readable (?) data format that needs to be validated a rather specific niche for a domain specific language. All I'm aware of in that area is XSD and DTD for XML (and maybe some recent efforts to make schemas for JSON but those aren't too flexible).

I'm happy someone is trying to fill that niche though, I'll remember cue for when I run into such a scenario.
