Another soul! I’m in the exact same boat and after this release, I just might jump on the surface book wagon. Sleek looking, great battery, WSL first class citizen. I just want a good touchpad, the damn fans to stop spinning randomly, bluetooth pairing to work and good battery life without tweaking TLP for few days.

We have EL wire and plenty of awesome cyberpunk fashion is available on places like Etsy. I fully support making cyberpunk fashion a thing. If I have to live in a dystopia, I at least want to look good doing it.
For a bit more fun with mainframe emulation if you're not already a mainframe programmer, check out MUSIC/SP on the System390 emulator [1]. You can run MUSIC/SP on Hercules also, with some limitations [2].

It was interesting that recruitment was called out specifically. If 3700 people make up only 14% of the workforce that puts their pre-layoff total around 26k. I wonder how many recruiters a company of that size needs.
> Windows and all the Linux desktop environments that copied Windows have so much more functionality than the brain-dead macOS that can't even get basic features like window management right.

The window management on macos is light years ahead of anything on Windows. Ever try to deal with full screen windows on either platform? The macos approach is a breeze where fullscreen windows get their own virtual desktop and window chorme, titlebar, dock, etc are managed by the OS consistently. Switching between fullscreen windows and regular windows is sane.

Meanwhile, the Windows approach to fullscreen windows is to just draw a borderless window on top of everything. A stupid approach that some linux desktops decided to copy for some reason.

> Imagine thinking an OS that won't let you easily maximize or snap application windows is any good?

Macos lets you maximize windows easily. Double Click on the titlebar works in most applications. Clicking on the maximize button makes any window a seamless fullscreen window in ways I wish a linux desktop could.

Yeah, snapping might not be baked into the OS. But there are 3rd party apps available for this so it is not that big of an issue.
While technically true, there's an enormous difference between a window of vulnerability that lasts some fraction of a second (the time needed to read the entire file from the filesystem) and multiple seconds, hours, days or even months depending on how long the script runs.
To understand Vulkan, Metal or Direct3D 12, you first need to understand modern high-level APIs like OpenGL 4 or Direct3D 11. The fixed-function pipeline is nothing like the new way of doing things.

Then you can move to low-level ones, if you really want to spend a few weeks on it! But if it is a hobby, I suggest you stay with a high-level one.

Steel needs less heat shielding than carbon fiber.

The #define new has a , instead of multiplication. It will compile likely without warning, but cause buffer overflow.

says “use sprintf”, which you shouldn’t do because ... buffer overflow (it’s possible to avoid but you need to really know what you are doing and set a maximum length for any conversion, which article authors does not do). For the same use cases, Proper use of snprintf would avoid overflows.

Other advice seems ok to me.
Delivery apps have a vastly higher overhead because the drivers are not based out of a single high volume restaurant.

With traditional deliveries operating over a tiny radius back to base. Drivers can do multiple deliveries at the same time. Pick up a new stack of orders and quickly be out the door again, this means they need fewer people during rush and thus much lower overhead.

Some people are willing to pay 10+$ an order to have a much wider selection of restaurants from a huge area. But, that doesn’t scale to the kind of volume these companies expect.
Regulators designing, or at least mandating, an API isn't that weird a concept; for instance that's how PSD2 open banking works in some countries.

Many things are valuable if we throw out the constraints of dealing with existing reality. Even then I'm not sure it is valuable; roads suffer from lack of maintenance already. If anything we should be looking at how to make roads less expensive. Having autonomous vehicles disperse their weight to reduce prevalence of potholes, for example.

That's the point. We want the barrier to entry in widespread tracking to be high.

For what it's worth, you don't need cookie consent warnings if you use them only for functionality integral to the product you offer your user. For example, if you need to use a cookie to facilitate a logged-in user session, you don't need to warn them.

Disclaimer: The title of this article might be slightly biased against China. I have no stake or interest, for or against, in what the Chinese Government does or what the Chinese Government doesn't do. I have Chinese friends. They are good people.

I think this article is interesting, because it introduces (to me at least!), two new terms, "friction", and "flooding", (aka, "Weapons Of Mass Distraction" (I made that one up myself!)) as relate to Internet Censorship.

To quote the article:

"“Friction,” or censorship through inconvenience, uses technology to make information more difficult to find by throttling or blocking websites, removing social media posts, or rearranging search results. Similarly, by “flooding,” or censoring through distraction, governments use armies of people or bots to overwhelm social media platforms with posts that distract from current events. The idea behind both friction and flooding is that because Internet users are for the most part impatient, making certain information slightly easier to access and others slightly more difficult can have a big effect on what users read."

So, "friction" and "flooding".

What I’m hearing you say is that you know better than millions of consumers? Millions of people find value in the services that these companies provide and voluntarily exchange their disposable income for them. And here you are saying they’re wrong and you know better. Who are you to say these things?
On the contrary. you must cast it or get a warning in modern compilers (and an error if you compile it in C++ mode).

The “don’t cast” consensus is about NULL remaining 0L and not of any pointer type (as was the case in some standard libraries in the early 90s)

Note also that the comma should be an asterisk.
What I haven't seen mentioned is that WSL 1 nor 2 work with the modern Machine Learning GPU acceleration.

From what I understand, WSL 1 doesn't have proper access to GPU, and for WSL 2 / Hyper-V, GPU pass-through isn't a thing for cards such as the 1080TI.

On Windows, Conda / Anaconda is quite buggy, and dealing with a regular python install through the CMD command line isn't too pleasant either.

Looks like the modern macbooks don't have any CUDA-capable GPUs. What do folks use for their ML projects? AWS?

It's like the open source software of materials, not only is it cheap but it's fast because all the info you need is out there in industry.

Steel is just so much more workable every step of the way. You can order your special steel from close to anywhere, your fancy epoxy might have two sources. Any engineer can design for steel and be really good at it (they probably even took classes on it in college) so you can have more cheaper engineers working parallel. Your engineers that know their way around CF are gonna be much more rare and expensive. The tool and die side of things is well known. The little tricks that are tribal knowledge for CF have long been compiled and published into textbooks for steel. If you fat finger a relief radius the die maker is gonna ask you to clarify whereas with some modern material that doesn't have that body of documentation yet they'll just assume you know what you're doing. The material handling side of things is well known, you'll never have to trash a part of delay a deadline because someone somewhere didn't store one of your constituent products in the right environment. When you've finally built your rocket anyone can test it. The techniques for inspecting steel are well known and widely practiced. For exotic materials you either have to track down experts or build that tribal knowledge internally (expensive and slow).

These little conveniences compound throughout your entire "technology stack" so to speak and a rocket company has a really tall stack.

It's hard to overstate just how much easier and faster you can work in a known-known like steel vs something that's new, hot and sexy that everyone wants to treat like a trade secret (as is the case with CF).

Can anyone explain what happened to battery swapping. A few years ago there was this Tesla show where they swapped three cars in the time it took to refuel a normal ICE automotive. But after that nothing happened.

I know it is difficult to handle when you do not own the battery but I would guess 90% of private long distance trips are return trips, so you could swap batteries at your trusted former gas station every 200 miles and then on the way back home do the same and get your old battery back at your last stop and keep that pack for all your short day to day trips. But somehow, this idea seems to be 100% abandoned.

Edit: Follow up conspiracy: Could it actually be because the battery is the one component of an EV that degrades the fastest and thus cars would last much longer (and no manufacturer would want that) if you could just swap the main battery every 100.000 miles or so?
If the iPad let me stick in a usb drive and copy over comics, and load open source software from outside the Apple store - yes. Since that will never happen in our lifetime, probably not.

For what it's worth, the iPad feels great in terms of size and construction, it has a fantastic screen and the overall UX/UI is pleasant. Unfortunately, it's not usable as a short term laptop replacement and basic computer tasks are just not possible, especially not offline.

Trains are large and inflexible. Short of having a city-block resolution freight train network at every population center, you'll need something flexible for the last mile of delivery.
One of the old Atlas rockets was stainless steel. The point is optimizing the entire rocket instead of a small section.

Starship will spend most of its time being in high heating conditions (like reentry) or very cold because the rocket fuel is loaded into the rocket at very low temperatures. It turns out that while the strength to weight ratio of carbon fiber is better than this alloy of steel at room temperature, it is impacted negatively by both hot and cold. In contrast, the steel alloy they are using actually has higher strength at low temperature and performs much better than carbon fiber at higher temperatures.

So the whole rocket can be lighter and simpler. Carbon fiber rockets that are going to reenter require a lot of heat shielding that this ship won't need.

And rockets and their engines are designed together. So it would be very difficult to make a design change like moving from aluminum to steel on Falcon without essentially designing a new rocket. Instead they will focus all their energy on Starship and eventually replace the Falcon series.

SpaceX has said it is possible that the build cost of a Starship/Superheavy stack could be lower than a Falcon 9. The variable costs of a launch would also be cheaper while delivering more payload.

This is the rocket that could make a lot of science fiction come true. That is what the excitement is about and we should all hope they get it to work.
Whatever the green button does is not maximizing.
Unfortunately, none of these facts necessarily line up to support your claim.

Uber Eats does not have 'billions' - Uber does.
The 'cost' of that market share is unknown - who is subsidising and by how much more?

Maybe 'Uber Eats' is a 'marginal strategy' in that they can leverage the slack time of their drivers into doing something else.

Market Share varies from country to country.

They may actually be using their $ to gain market share right now, why would you imply otherwise.

Their layoff could be for any number of reasons: convenient opportunity to trim the fat, close down some projects and do a 'one time writeoff', it maybe mostly just a covid reality. It's possible they are laying off more heavily in areas that don't have Uber Eats.

Billions in the Bank is not for a 'rainy day' it's for any and all sorts of things.

It would take some specific information with respect to Uber Eats to see how well they were doing with it.
Embrace. Extend. Extinguish.

A phrase that the U.S. Department of Justice found was used internally by Microsoft to describe its strategy for entering product categories involving widely used standards, extending those standards with proprietary capabilities, and then using those differences in order to strongly disadvantage its competitors.

The dishonesty of this group is manifest in the quote:

"Finally, a retrospective analysis of data from patients hospitalized with confirmed SARS-CoV-2 infection in all United States Veterans Health Administration medical centers found no evidence that, before ventilation, the use of HCQ either with or without AZ, reduced the need for subsequent mechanical ventilation"

Compared with what the paper actually says:

"In this study, we found no evidence that use of hydroxychloroquine, either with or without azithromycin, reduced the risk of mechanical ventilation in patients hospitalized with Covid-19. An association of increased overall mortality was identified in patients treated with
hydroxychloroquine alone."

Ask HN: Brand and company are being hurt by Facebook scammers. What can we do?
A s(c|p)ammer is attempting to defraud our thousands of our users via Facebook. The attacker creates duplicate company pages and then shares public photos from people who like our page or friends of people who like our page.

Thousands of these pages have existed for days and are continuing to be created on a daily basis. Because the attack pages include photos of the users, they get a notification and many (quite reasonably!) become unsettled. Some cannot tell that it is not actually the real company.

Example page (this is my company's name and logo, but not us): https://spee.ch/@thumbnails/25be5a1dfd08bf7c.png

We tell our users to report the pages, but because each page is only reported by the user and us, many remain up.

We attempted to get a verified page by Facebook in the hopes this would grant additional protection (no idea if this is true), but were denied and told we can only re-apply in one month.

Is there anything else we can do to mitigate this?
Braking delta V depends on many variables such as mechanical condition, component temperature, road surface friction, etc and is thus difficult to predict to that level of precision. Even with real-time communications, if the vehicle in front slows less than expected due to hitting a pothole or something then the vehicles behind are going to have to react damn fast to avoid a collision. It might be achievable on certain roads but it will be a tremendous engineering challenge. Don't expect to see this in passenger vehicles any time soon.

You used words like "buzzwords" which makes you sound facetious. I know you aren't, but others could get the wrong idea. This is a very useful piece of advice that should be taught in CS 101.
When writing a long script you should bundle everything into functions and then call one that kicks everything off at the end. This prevents the problem mentioned but also is helpful for keeping it organized.
I was in this situation; I went with “salt master exposed to the internet” because it’s the only service on that box - if I’d wrapped it in a VPN, then I’m replacing one exposed service with a different exposed service, and VPNs aren’t immune to exploits either (plus an extra layer of configuration means an extra layer of things that can go wrong)

Those things cannot make up the entire economy because people end up starving to death. Thus, at some point there is no other option but to reopen.

It is notable how you reinterpret my comment:

> The economy does things like bring us food and pay for the health care that is supposed to save us from the virus. Without the economy, we don't have food and we don't have health care.

You also seem to ignore other parts:

> If some percentage of the population is actively blocked from having jobs while having no income, no government subsidies, and no savings, then "civil unrest" becomes reality. This is historically true.
> It's how I bootstrap random VMs and bare metal from the internet.
