> Because hardware vendors don't want one. Lock-in when you are leading your particular niche gives big profits, so companies go for it.

Complete nonsense. All the hardware vendors except Apple support Vulkan and contributed towards it.

NVIDIA hasn't created their own graphics API since... ever, actually. They have their own APIs, of course (cuda being an obvious one, but there's also NVAPI), but they don't do graphics. Because hardware vendors have no interest or motivation in making more drivers than they need to, because drivers are hard & expensive. So much so that driver quality is a better lock-in for them.

Consoles use exclusives to drive lock-in, not APIs. Consoles have their own APIs, but historically that's always been a performance thing. They want to give game devs the rawest access they can, to make the best looking games they can. Maybe low-level APIs like Vulkan will end up changing that, maybe it won't, but it's not a "lock-in" thing. OS's use APIs to do lock-in, but they don't make hardware (Apple being the exception here, of course).

No.
Solipsism is correct.

National Institutes of Health. It's an organization made up of many institutes.
Vulkan would make things more complicated and wont really fix anything (if anything it'll make things worse because that added complication will make it harder to fix things and most likely will break compatibility with anything not supporting Vulkan - e.g. older and/or weaker devices and other OSes like macOS) since it isn't really rendering that is the issue but behavior (there are also some drawing issues but those are at the GDI level and you do not want to break GDI).
I'm asking for a friend who is looking to pivot careers into CS, or at least bolster their resume in their current field by adding programming to the mix. They're a long way from having an open source portfolio, but want to be able to signal some baseline value on their resume, the same way a degree does. Online courses/certifications seem like they could be that signal, without the immense time demand and expenses of going back to college.

Are there any universities' whose online certifications are taken seriously?
What were the responsibilities listed in the job you applied for?

>Writing anisble scripts

Skunkworks an effort on this in your downtime and in doing so prove your capabilities, would be my suggestion.

>maintaining production instances.

If you're deploying to AWS or another cloud provider it's more than rational that it's locked down to a certain set of people (devops/SRE) made responsible for that infrastructure.

>I want to know why servers failed.

Ask for read access to your logging infrastructure?
Write it in docs, use a template. Attach a pdf to the email.

That being said, if phone numbers are spam, I’ve been typing my phone into email signatures for like ever when I need to.
> FreeBSD defines its ABI at the libc level, whereas Linux defines it at the syscall level

Actually, this really does make it more impressive than I'd realized, especially since FreeBSD didn't just shim libc in - I've run an Alpine Linux (musl-based) chroot on FreeBSD and that worked, which it wouldn't have if they just made a glibc-like wrapper. (I think.)

I love how universal children's drawings are. when you're small, everyone looks like long legs with a head on top
The arguments for it make a lot of sense. One of them is that it's a cost saving measure. All other things being equal, that's a good thing, not a bad one.

The Falcon family is wildly successful, but it's small potatoes next to SpaceX's vision for the economics of space launch in the near future, so it seems unlikely that they'd go back to fix what isn't broken.
Honestly, I'm really getting tired of this peeve that everyone seems to have. Every site is practically tracking everything. Emails are not private. Every damn mobile app is trying to access all it can. COVID-19 isn't doing any favors either.

And when someone creates an open source product with this clause in the README right up front along with the option to opt-out, people get peeved about it?

I can understand if the norm is to NOT collect data. But since the world doesn't seem to work that way, despite what some techies would want (since all this tracking has been created by techies anyway), I think it's time to grow up and face the real world for what it is - avoid where we can, adapt in our own ways where we cannot. And try and not get peeved.
POSIX says that any tool should always translate usernames into userids at the earliest possible point, and pass UIDs to children it spawns.

Now assuming I have a user called 1000 with UID 2000, and a user called 2000 with UID 1000.

Now what do you think is gonna happen if multiple POSIX-compliant tools call each other?

This is clearly broken, and the reason why BSDs don’t actually implement POSIX cleanly, instead allowing all their tools to take unambiguous identifiers on the CLI, with the # prefix to mark a UID, and have all their tools call all their children with this format.

The POSIX standard is clearly suboptimal here, and the set of valid usernames, and the set of valid UIDs should never have been allowed to overlap.
I am really disappointed that the Surface Books do not have a stronger GPU. After waiting two years for an update, I was hoping to see strong GPUs that would make this a swiss army knife laptop - something that is portable, has great battery life, but can also be used for gaming or machine learning work.

Unfortunately it appears that Microsoft will not sell the Quadro version of this laptop to individuals and only make it available through their commercial channels (https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/surface/business/surface-boo...). I verified this in a chat with a sales rep.

> How can facebook turn a dumpster fire like reddit in a bot that response with more empathy than a human?

Because people who say “Reddit is a dumpster fire” are usually just thinking of r/Politics, RedPill, TheDonald, LateStageCapitalism, basically any remotely political subreddit... when, in reality, there are plenty of subreddits where quality conversation can be had and some where people just share art or animal pictures, and these are pleasant places to kill some time (although there’s almost always per-subreddit groupthink, but it’s not like HN doesn’t also suffer from that in some cases).
I'm not aware of any low-level devtools having any kind of telemetry. Rustup, cargo and rustc don't have any telemetry. Rustup used to have some ages ago, but it was removed.

Similarly, NodeJS/NPM, LLVM (clang, lldb), GNU (gcc, ld, gdb, glibc), Java (OpenJDK), etc... none of them have any telemetry as far as I know. If they do have some, google isn't being helpful at finding out about it.
It's weird that the article doesn't mention SACK which is pretty much supported everywhere these days and reduces the head-of-line blocking problem significantly.
I am so sick of clicking "Accept" blindly on all these websites. The existing consent legislation makes no sense and it is making the Internet worse for everyone worldwide.
Love how one of the stock photos features a MacBookPro :)
Considering the desktop install is an Electron app I wouldn't think the two would diverge that much.
The laws are not about proposing some legal gottac based on inane ruling in clearly contrived scenarios.
The base model still uses a Pentium gold, so you're probably not going to like it either. You'll have to pay $629 for a better processor.
I've thought about it quite a lot and discussed this with some of the delivery people I see on the street and in my building. I have enjoyed these elevator discussions about the economics of feeding the lazy. Many of them are also surprised that people will pay them to deliver a Jimmy John's sandwich.
Yup. Can confirm I listened to this in loop in early 2000s.
Oh god, that is very true.

I feel like I'm the guy in the comics who takes advantage because they tried to roll out something like this in my work and I figured out you could get more points by sinking other teams than actually writing code.

After voicing it in a meeting, it magically went away.
>"Pork Custodian" is the only thing which doesn't work there.

How dare you!
Ah, I hadn't realised, sorry masonic. Some impressive lists on there all the same. I’ve begun reading a lot of philosophy books. I don't have a great background so I found the lists useful. Strangely enough, I own 12 of the books recommended. Maybe my compulsion to buy enough books for ten lifetimes reading is useful in this one instance. I hope this list was useful.
Then why wasn't Falcon 9 steel to start out with? Just more familiarity of aluminum (which I assume is its main structural element) within the rocket biz? Or does Falcon 9 just not deal with that re-entry requirement (it's only first stage, not the much faster second stage) and therefore aluminum is the right answer because it is cheaper/lighter?

The norm isn't to collect data when it comes to development tools. In fact, Microsoft is very unique here. As I said in another comment, they're the only SDK in widespread use that has telemetry that deeply ingrained.
You don't. You start small and work you way up while offering whatever collateral you can until you get that big loan. Save up earnings and use a downpayment or buy insurance. That's how business growth works.

There are 10s of millions of business owners in America. Ask any of them how they did it.
I doubt you'd get the same quick & simple experience you have with Repl.it. This is more replacing your local VSCode, which is not what Repl.it aims to replace.

A word of advice: I'm well in my 30s but I often feel like an old ranting fart.

Every time I read of some new amazing framework like WinUI or SwiftWUI or whateverUI, I always stop and wonder: will applications written with this thing today ever run unaltered in 10+ years from now?

Microsoft has been doing an amazing job in these past 30+ years in keeping things working: stuff written on Windows 95 can still run without any particular issue on Windows 10.
Sure, there's a bit of "cheating" here and there to keep the compatibility working but the bottom line is: there's retrocompatibility.

As an example: if a developer wants to use Win32 to write something on Windows, it's still possible and it _IS_ still supported, with APIs that basically didn't change for like... ever?

Apple seems to be on the far side of the spectrum: they have amazing technologies but - as a developer - I always feel I have an immense work to do just to keep up and allow my code to keep working as it used to.

So, the question for the community here is: how can we balance the "sugary" to make things as accessible and sustainable as possible with the "stability"?
The article says that the issue was on the recipient side, not the sender's side, so the title is wrong -- sending via Gmail is fine, receiving via Gmail is... well, supposedly an issue, but I've never had a resume land in my spam folder so I'm skeptical.

(Amusingly, my Google job offer landed in my Gmail spam folder years ago. But that was because of a weird thing where forwarding from my @university.edu account would screw with headers that Gmail uses to verify the authenticity of an email.)

Also...

> They must be using Gmail client to access their office emails, I guessed.

Is that even a thing? Does Gmail reroute stuff to spam that came into your inbox via POP/IMAP?

Covid-19: Out-of-control science and bypassing science-based medicine
Elon is all about tight, quick iterations on design and testing: “if it takes long is wrong” is an actual quote from him regarding Starship.

With carbon fiber you get a lot of theoretical nice-to-haves, but you can’t iterate quickly with it. You need specialized tooling for manufacturing plus there is a lot of actual R&D that still needs to be done to manufacture with CF at Starship scale.

SpaceX sees all this effort as a diversion from the goal of actually building a new rocket. Compare with steel where you can just hire a bunch of welders and build the damn thing out in the open.

Falcon will never switch to steel. It makes no sense from a performance POV (Merlins are much less powerful than Raptors so your payload capacity hit is too high) and Falcon is a “dead” platform: only minor incremental updates from now on. Any change to it will trigger recertification with NASA, the USAF and a bunch of clients, which is a no-go. Falcon is SpaceX’s workhorse and money making machine, and it will continue on that role until Starship retires it.
Wow this seems pretty sick.

Gitlab has a decent web ide, I think this may be github playing catch up, but I'm hopeful that this competition gets us a better product on both sides.

The PGDG doesn't really exist in the form you imagine. There certainly isn't corporate members or such. It's just a descriptor for all the developers together - it's not even a well defined legal entity.
What a weird article.. first of all, what does sending it with gmail have to do with anything?

He says the company is USING gmail to receive.. that's where the spam-filter comes in. He could have sent this with any service and it still would have been filtered out.

Then he complains about gmail auto-complete? First, I have found it to be quite helpful.. but next, if you don't want it to autocomplete then you just keep on typing. Yeah sometimes it might try to correct a specific word.. just like everything else these days. It's not always going to be perfect.

For someone who is apparently trying to get such a tech job- not understanding the email filter was on the receiving end and he would have hit the same situation no matter what is... quite disturbing. Especially after going through the trouble to write an entire article about it.
A law requiring websites to honor 'do not track' header would be sufficient and require no big changes to internet protocols or browsers.

People say that DNT failed because it was selected by default - but no, it failed because compliance was voluntary. The EU principles require explicit opt-in confirmation, so a browser setting that's set to "not track" by default is a reasonable way to do it, it only needs enforcement to ensure that websites (in EU jurisdiction) treat the DNT header as binding instruction to not track that user.
No, you can't, because the law concerns itself with data storage and processing, not whether you are using a cookie.

My bad, I should've specified that I was talking about their X570 AORUS lineup, not all AORUS mobos in general, that one is on me. Since yours is B450, I wouldn't expect the same issues to surface as in the X570 mobos, makes sense.

Given how many people think the EU did a bad job defining cookies, tracking, tracking methods and etc, it would be fun to see what they would think about he definition of a "browser" as something that can be forced to implement a certain feature.

I admire your problem solving ideas, but engineering this to a point that is 1. effective at mutually/exclusively recycling two sets of air and 2. cost effective is impossible.

Pretty much the same things were said about seatbelts.

Would be akin to putting twin turbochargers in a cheap car which already has extremely high engine compression.

Why? Please quantify and back this up. Seems to me that such mods are not that extreme. Plenty of cars in the past were not built by default, but were rather modified to be taxicabs, such that there was a wall and window completely between the passengers and front compartment. I see no reason why making that airtight is cost prohibitive. Heck, I bet people would've said that making a car's HVAC system bioweapon-agent proof would be cost prohibitive. Tesla just went and did it, and is putting that system into cars designed to hit a lower price tier than they had previously.

but only a very select customer base would pay for it,

Same thing was said about seatbelts. I bet plenty of Uber drivers who couldn't work otherwise right now would sign up for some kind of lease deal.

and would likely not see any benefits they don't already see from "free" things like disinfecting, social distance, etc.

Well, for one thing, Uber would be able to operate a passenger "rideshare" business during a pandemic.
If it was accidental (as in the form was clear, but my cat pressed the wrong button), then the user just needs to ask the company to remove the consent.

If the company refuse, or if the user claims he was tricked into agreeing, then there is cause for further investigation.

And it's not going to be a judge from the start, but whatever organism is charged with compliance.
Then, if they have a case, a judge gets involved.
