It wasn't only Intel making microprocessors in the US. Samsung has one of their largest fabs in Texas. Global Foundries has their best fab in New York. As I understand they're both equipped to make 14nm-class processors. Not that it detracts from the general point of the article.
How does this relate to `install-package`, the Microsoft-official 'package manager for package managers' released a few years ago?

Ctrl+F javascript - nothing.

At first glance this seems to be "dynamism==slow" but surely you need to explain why Python is slower than Javascript and for many years has resisted a lot of effort to match the performance of v8 and it's cousins?
The web analytics guide is questionable as the author/s repeatedly state in the preface that Google Analytics can only be used for page views not even tracking, which is false.
Is this related to Datalog also? I've watched a few presentations by Rich Hickey (creator of the Clojure programming language) and I feel like he often name-drops Datalog as a great tool.

>Chevron paid Maxis $75,000 for a prototype of a refinery simulator

> I came up and said, “How about, these concepts, principles, and their relation?” and they say, “Oh, John, you screwed up, look at – this is wrong.” And I say, “Okay. Help me understand what to do about that.” They did, and they taught me. And all I was doing was field work. I was asking questions and listening carefully. And I’d say, “What about this?” I’d look at a photograph of their oil refinery, and I’d say, “What’s this big pile of sulfur doing here?” “Oh, well you weren’t paying attention to the chemistry, John.”

Great story!
There was an ethics paper that won a student prize at oxford ..? or cambridge ..? that argued this exact position. I can't put my fingers on it right now though, it's really annoying.

edit: http://www.jpe.ox.ac.uk/papers/consistent-vegetarianism-and-...

Ethical consequentialist vegetarians believe that farmed animals have lives that are worse than non-existence. In this paper, I sketch out an argument that wild animals have worse lives than farmed animals, and that consistent vegetarians should therefore reduce the number of wild animals as a top priority.
I worked for 5 years for an ad network. We had a team of ML engineers working solely on improving the recommendations accuracy.

I won't say it was silly to ever make Chocolatey, but it was living on borrowed time from day one.

What's interesting to me about this announcement is that it seems to replace something they already had; Microsoft released OneGet several years ago and was positioning it (I thought) the same way they are positioning this. It's in maintenance mode now. So I would say Chocolatey is doomed only if this actually sticks.

Uhh... Have you tried reading past that? They literally list pretty much all of the most important features right there (though I believe not all of them). They even show which services each feature replaces. It's true there is marketing speak sprinkled throughout it, but all in all it's the opposite of the "nothing but marketing speak" trend most services follow.

Rabbits in the U.S. Are Facing a Deadly New Virus (RHDV2) Outbreak of Their Own
Seems like a good place to mention this: I once was troubleshooting an Outlook issue where email stopped working after some time, seemingly at random. Turned out that Outlook picked up the IP address for the mail server backwards - so instead of WW.XX.YY.ZZ Outlook tried ZZ.YY.XX.WW. Found that by using sysinternals network tools, confirmed with Wireshark. Thunderbird worked, ping to the domain name (of the mail server) worked, Outlook worked on-and-off, ...

As it was MS Windows and I'm a Linux native I didn't really know how to investigate further - I guess I couldn't without Outlook source.

Luckily setting a hosts entry fixed it.

I only found one other post online with the same issue, and they didn't have a solution. Presumably it was something like ISP automated rDNS entries getting parsed .. but honestly I don't know.

Still curious ...

Would have loved to have found work investigating such things, as they said in the post, it's fun!
Am I crazy for wanting more than ever to fully embrace offline, privacy preserving technology? I'm okay with my Excel file on my HDD that I am in control over (and I've been spending time migrating away from the 'cloud' to a fully offline experience, where I can do anything I need without an internet connection, possibly for months at a time).

This sounds like it ties you further into the MS ecosystem; it's likely you'll need an MS account and be willing to agree to their privacy policy to use this feature - hopefully there is an "opt out" at least if it's integrated into their applications. And I'm not seeing anything that says this can work if you disable your internet connection, which is crucial for many people.

I also wonder about the longevity of these things. Imagine if an email was "alive" and could be "edited" after it was sent by anyone, like a 'module' as they're proposing.

There's a value into having a static, in-time thing, like an email, that will contain the same content 50 years from when it was sent and isn't reliant on some database to get the content (and can be easily exported/imported at will).

Dislike this. Moving everything to an online service sounds cool, except there are drawbacks to this approach.

Is MoonScript like CoffeeScript for Lua?

CoffeeScript development was one of the most regretful experiences I've had. Delimiters are optional even when invoking functions. A statement like f(g(h(x))) becomes painful to read. Plus, sometimes you want to use a function as a parameter, how do you reason about that? Welcome to the Twilight zone.

Whitespace in CoffeeScript has a meaning. In Python, that is the case too, but it only applies to statement blocks. In CoffeeScript, the situations you will find are just absurd, such as the fact that inconsistent indentation is allowed.

Code is written once, read many times. CoffeeScript emphasizes rapid writing not reading. In that sense, CoffeeScript is to JavaScript what Stenography is to Writing.
Came here to say the same thing. Every Linux distro release the mouse finds a new way to break -- different acceleration profile, impossibly slow followed by impossibly fast, etc. -- and I have to update my fix_mouse.sh autorun script to scan for whatever the new xinput parameter names are.

It's unfortunately distressingly common in software, but especially Linux GUIs, to fix one thing by breaking three others instead of identifying a better framework to fix the root cause. The Linux kernel does seem to be good at that last part, but not the desktop projects.
> Guile Emacs is all of those except (at this point) faster.

Guile Emacs is not at all compatible with Emacs Lisp, it only implements a tiny subset of Emacs Lisp.

I've seen various estimates over the years as well as various ways of measuring this. I think that the most useful is to look at the resource draw, which roughly is about biomass.

I didn't post any numbers on purpose because I don't believe in just throwing out numbers that require a lot of context. I was being sincere when I said that "This is a good opportunity to read up...". One should spend some time trying to understand our footprint.

But yes, our food completely dominates the picture. Many places in the world most mammalian wildlife is little more than a footnote.

If this comes as a surprise to anyone, this makes me a bit upset and worried.

CCL has its own IDE which I find preferable to those of LW and Franz. It doesn't have the GUI construction set that MCL had, and unfortunately the IDE is Mac-only, but I find it much more productive than Emacs/Slime.

SBCL has an exceptionally good optimizing compiler now. It probably generates faster code than LW and Franz in most cases.
I share your cynicism on this. Good chance this is a play to drastically boost numbers to court a big company for an exit. Not a bad idea if that keeps the product alive since it seems to be very loved in the world of productivity apps.

Also, I find it interesting that they're working on an API. A lot of organizing products lack integrations and this might open to door to sync items between Office, GSuite, fitness applications and other services for life management.
I can hardly tell the difference between my razer stealth linux touchpad and my workprovided macbook.

Even based on the feedback, it seems that most people are okay with their touchpad experience and are more interested in advanced features like multitouch.

Having this said, for myself this is a tough sell. I'm concerned that I would donate and I won't be able to tell the difference between this and some placebo drivers.
> Project Reunion is our vision for unifying and evolving the Windows developer platform to make it easier to build great apps that work across all the Windows 10 versions and devices people use.

I just want it to be like it was in 1998. Want to learn how to program for Windows 95, 98, or NT back then? Buy Programming Windows 5th edition by Charles Petzold, read it, and you are most of the way there. Add Advanced Windows by Jeffrey Richter if you need more lower level knowledge.

If you needed to support Win 3.1, you had Petzold's Programming Windows 3.1 for that. (...and Petzold's Programming the OS/2 Presentation Manager if you wanted to branch out a bit).

Just get Petzold to write one of these for Windows 10 and I'll be happy.

Since I've kept hens, it's strange but I've been a lot more "respectful" towards eggs. It's almost like they're a gift from the chicken.

I think it is sad that animals die to feed us (even though I eat meat), but for an animals meat to be wasted is a tragedy.
Right to Repair Groups Fire Shots at Medical Device Manufacturers
I think the base cause of this is that we look for products based on life events; if the light burns out, we search for a new lightbulb. Google can't have this data (thank Dog), so can only serve targeted ads based on recent internet activity. Thinking of this in terms of PID loops, there's too much external interference, and too much lag in the loop for it to be really effective in calculating the next derivative.
It it my opinion that to believe in my fellow human is not arrogant. Labor is not fungible ("lump of labor fallacy"), but people are versatile. We should expect that people can be trained into skilled roles, with alternate paths for those who don't have the aptitude. We have trillions of dollars of infrastructure work to be done in this country [1] [2], and we should absolutely expect our citizens to be able to perform that work if provided the means to do so.

Disclaimer: I have run and spliced fiber as a hobbyist for those starting rural ISPs, and also know where you stand on private venture vs community/muni/non-profit broadband. I'm always interested in your constructive criticism (based on your industry experience), as it helps me understand ways to drive down the costs of non-profit broadband initiatives.

I understand the notion of a "runtime" in the compiled language case; my question is about the distinction between an interpreter and a runtime in the interpreted language case. Perhaps out of naivety, I would think that the interpreter is the runtime--the interpreter manages the call stack, memory, etc.
makomk posted an interesting comment on another thread here 12 hours ago, which I'll paste below. (from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23233097)

I think I've got a good guess what data she didn't want removed or changed, and it's not exactly good for her case. On May the 5th, they day she was removed from her position, there was an all-time high spike of 113 reported coronavirus deaths due to Florida reporting a bunch of old deaths all at once: https://www.tampabay.com/news/health/2020/05/15/florida-adds...

This did not represent an actual spike in deaths which had in reality been declining, but if I remember rightly some people did spin it as deaths increasing due to the lockdown being lifted. Deaths by date reported are conspicuously missing from the current version of the dashboard; it only has dates by date of death, which is far less favourable to the claim that lifting the lockdown is causing an increase in deaths.
If I get your last point correctly, it implies that state spy agencies should not be restricted by laws, because it will make them ignore those laws and undermine oversight. But oversight is worthless with that premise anyways, because there aren't any laws restricting the agency.
Ask HN: Anyone here using their iPad to program on?
I recently bought the new iPad Pro and Magic Keyboard not because I had high hopes that I would be able to program on it but mostly got it for hand written note taking. However, I'm curious if anyone here has managed to actually use their iPad to program on? The only way I see that working is to use a terminal emulator app and ssh into a machine. I was thinking about getting a mac mini or something similar to use as a server so I'm also curious if anyone here has managed to that as well? Thanks.
If you're interpreting the scores as "goodness" you're missing the point, yes. Your concern seems to be that efforts to dispel that perspective are sparse.

I think this would help people learn about the various politicians in the same way that fantasy football players learn the stats, strengths, and weaknesses of individual players. It turns Congress from a two-headed behemoth that regularly doles out pain and suffering except to a privileged few, to a cacophony of opposing voices that each are relatively consistent (with some exceptions) about the things they tend to advocate. It sets up context for people so that when they see "Congressperson X says Y" they have a sense for how that aligns with the currents within Congress, within parties, and within people.
Notion consuming 10-15% CPU while on idle is a deal breaker to me. I wish they'd devote a bit more resources to fix this.

> Did they ever think to just ask me?

I've wondered this for years, but I think I know why they don't do this.

If they asked me what ads I'd be interested in seeing, and were to abide by my exact parameters, that would limit how many ads they can show me and hence how much money they can make.

Instead, they spend billions to make guesses on what to show me, not just to show me what I want to see, but to make guesses on what I don't know that I want to see, opening up the door to showing me many more ads and make more money. That and they know that even ads for things I'm not interested in at the moment can persuade me to buy in the future.

Of course, I'm not saying that any of their methods are actually very effective. Whenever I've turned uBlock Origin off, or saw ads on Hulu, I don't remember ever seeing something that's even remotely interesting to me or got me to engage. Like a lot of things such as "AI", I believe that modern advertising is a lot of overvalued bunk that mostly has value on the perception that it's necessary. It survives because people in charge don't actually understand the technicalities behind advertising, except that its use seems necessary and correlates with continued cash flow.

I have similar results and opinions. I feel that there is some kind of "back-end processing" that happens during sleep that is crucial for learning. Also, my sleep tends to be better when I'm doing some kind of workout regularly, although I need to sleep more. If I'm not working out, I can get by easily with 6 hours but if I am, absolutely need 8 hrs min. Makes sense to me since a lot of repair, healing and growth occur while sleeping.
That's up to you, really. If you're prone to just making everything look pretty without actually using any of the data, you'll probably find a way to do the same with any other tool out there.
If they only had a native Mac application.

I love Notion, but the Mac client feels so sluggish, I didn’t investigative but looks like a web view or Electron or something similar.
Yeah, I can see that. And I don't mean to disparage the work. OP clearly put a lot of care and attention into it. As I said in a different thread, I feel that gamification is in poor taste.
I had to look up "submarine pieces" are, but they don't seem at all related to the effects of advertising on what editorial teams write about. In my experience that just sounds like shoddy journalism, and editors shouldn't be letting that pass (even though it happens).

What you're describing isn't a new phenomenon: newspaper ads have been around forever, and getting more people to read your newspaper or click on your articles has always increased profit. That's why most reputable newspapers, when they get large enough, build strong firewalls between the business and editorial sides of the company such that publishers cannot exert pressure over their editorial team even if they were short-sighted enough to try.
I mean, I don't think we can ever agree because "business principles" is a vague phrase that has no official definition. It can mean whatever you want it to mean.

More fundamentally, capitalist businesses try to maximize output of goods and services to consumers while minimizing the input necessary to create & produce them. The difference between the two, the profit, is the incentive to do more with less. This is how we allocate scarce resources to productive ends.

Municipal agencies are also bound by the constraints of resource scarcity. The goal should always be to efficiently provide services to citizens without glut/waste. You're right that municipal agencies shouldn't need to worry about turning a profit, but they should also need to make sure they don't run at a loss. If the input to a municipal service is (subsidized) price + tax revenue, the outlays of the municipal agency are bound by that input. Bonus points if the municipal agency is able to provide high quality goods & services with lower taxes.

The only way we know to accomplish all of this are through standard management practices which, today, are adopted by capitalist businesses.

This is particularly ironic given that Jet's original premise was to be _entirely_ a marketplace which did not complete with the merchants on it. That plan was soon abandoned however and the warehouse network and first-party products introduced.
Part of this inaccuracy is on purpose.

People can really freak the fuck out when you can predict what they need accurately. For example the real case of a store advertising specific baby items to someone who didn't know she was pregnant.

This is why "suggested items" often have one wildcard thrown in: They don't want you to realize just how much they really know you.

Of course this doesn't explain failures, but I wouldn't rule out smart ads just yet.
