I think were you live will become a lifestyle choice. Today, you would not subscribe to your question if it was asked on different topics, like:

"Does the value you create for the company depend on the type of car I drive?"

That might sound provocative. But where is the real difference?
Molecular Biology of the Cell is a wonderful book (my first PhD advisor was one of the authors of the 3rd edition), but if you're more interested in the purely genetics side of things then I'd recommend Genes by Lewin - it's definitely the book I relied on most during my undergrad degree, and it's written in a way that largely lets you bootstrap from not having a strong biology background.
And where is the replacement? The main benefit of a feedreader is to have an interface and workflow dedicated for newsfeeds.

Just collecting feed-items is easy, there are several options for this.
I love the clash of deeply detailed language like "we vaporized the samples and used ‘Gas Chromatography – Mass Spectrometry (GC-MS)’ and separated the molecules" with them using 'black goo' as a term.

I am fascinated that the goo wasn't just a random choice for mummification but apparently had spiritual/cultural significance. Never knew too much about Egyptian culture but this being a sort of 'regeneration' symbol, perhaps tied into some sort of afterlife beliefs, that's amazing.

I imagine that it is likely that sharing most hardware will lead to side channel vulnerabilities, and the per-core cache is not special. Smaller, cheaper SoCs could allow for sharing less of that hardware.

The problem of course being that CPUs that rival performance of a decently-specced x86 VM are going to be pricy, mooting the point.
I have a complaint. Each comment from the parent poster has been downvoted, so much so that I struggle to read them.

Is this what we do now? Instead of agreeing to disagree, or (better!) explaining our viewpoint, we make comments fade into the background? Whatever happened to edification?

Because, these are valid comments! The real world bears them out! I strongly disagree, but that does not make me (or anyone else) right. This is a forum for discussion, so - discuss!
Linux Capacity Planning Part -2
The two issues I have with Google search recent: first, I often get results, when searching for something technical which look like they have huge potential, a sentence with my search terms in, amongst a technical looking paragraph, with a URL, at first glance, that looks good, I click on it and it attempts to take over the browser with spam, redirects etc, I then realize the domain had random characters before the end, but I wonder how such terrible results end up on Google. I want to ban these sites from my searches. Secondly, unrelated to this extension, recently, Google have started popping up a box with other search terms I may be interested in, just after the search loads, within the search results, and the amount of times I have gone to click, only to be last minute intercepted by a link in this box which suddenly appears is unreal. Anyone else get that?
I was expecting a cute weekend-project style mini-cluster but 1024 Pis, wow!

One of the big issues is transparency, and this applies across the entire price spectrum. If people knew that certain brands, luxury or not, were exploiting labour, would some people still be inclined to buy them? It’s easy to say that most people wouldn’t care, but the conversations shift. Look at School Strike for Climate Action as an example.
Airbnb had around 2k engineers, nearly as many people as the entire size of Stripe (~2.5k):

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22809778

I'm not saying that engineering is necessarily the cost centers at these companies currently experiencing major layoffs (though the high salaries probably don't help), but it does call into question how much software being written is actually beneficial to these businesses, if they're able to shed engineers just like that.
If all you can trust is direct promises then you can't trust them to do anything but take money.
On the bright side:
* no pay-cuts, all the benefits are still there
* the mandate to have at most one day W.F.H. a week will probably be relaxed even after this is over
* we have one time allowance of a low-ish sum to get some gear sent home (mostly would cover keyboards/mice/headphones)
* managers are fine to approve more
* everybody is understanding of the lower productivity

On the less positive:
* no monitors?
* we still pay for the big empty office
* paying for rent is not really an option?
Yeah, I like my (laced) leather moccasins (with a polymer sole on the underside, and not covering my ankles), but they tend to get a bit expensive. Last time I had to pay 140 EUR/pair, compared to regular prices in the 40-80 EUR range for normal non-designer shoes (I was forced to an upscale shoe store, as the normal stores had no suitable moccasins).
If you can select the <a> tag, then you can likely use a procedural cosmetic filter to go up the DOM like with :upward(n). So this should be possible.
Yes, that is my point.

You can defend netflix all you like. Its still a sub par experience to torrenting.

Stop trying to "fix" a working distribution network.

Start improving it. Legitimize the distribution, get rid of the scummy torrent sites, empower the people, and run ads directly in the content like they are already doing with product placement or self release with skipable ads.

No, its not the perfect, most effective profit wise, but that isnt the fucking point is it. Supplying the people with entertainment is. Artwork is. Culture is.

You can still make profit, nobody will complain, but if you start shitting on the fans you deserve to get whats comin.

Seriously, the industry had its entire distribution channel paid and developed for free, and they shit on it instead of embracing it.

Can you imagine if amazon was able to get people to deliver their products to eachother for free? You think theyd be upset?

And I've read the posts about writing and HTML engine in Rust when they first came out in 2014

and ported them to Elixir and still use them in my programming lessons

For them

It's important to specify that Rust, built by Firefox, lead to a Firefox success.

Just like Dart, created by Google, is the language of choice for Flutter, also created by Google.

I know you've been working at Mozilla to work on Rust and I believe Rust is very good, but I also think Mozilla could have used other languages, there were a few that could led them to success, but they understood this are times where the "means of production" aren't the machines but engineers tools, and creating a programming language is the best way to control part of that world.

I don't think the lack of appropriate structural incentives has anything to do with FOSS. It's that Microsoft has a near-monopoly on operating systems, so it's easier for PC hardware vendors to work directly with just Microsoft to deal with problems, rather than publicly document their hardware errata for the benefit of multiple OS vendors.
Reagan was in office almost 40 years ago. We have had 24 years of Republican Presidents during that time. Have we:

1) Rolled back social security or Medicare?

2) Rolled back the administrative state in any respect?

3) Developed any significant power back to the states?

None of that happened. Government spending as a percentage of GDP increased, from 30% to 35%. Just more slowly than in the immediate post-New Deal era. Characterizing attempts to hold the line or make modest reforms as wanting to “break the federal government” is a cute bit of rhetoric, but you’d have to be very gullible to believe it.

We’re about to go into an election where 2 of 3 leading Democratic candidates proposed new programs that would take US government spending as a percentage of GDP past that of Sweden. More than half of the economy would be the government, versus a mere third today.

By contrast, did any serious Republican candidate propose a corresponding opposite movement? Decreasing total government spending by 15 points to 20% would take us into the 1940s and 1950s (so still post New Deal). No? That should tell you a lot about how much basis your assertion has in reality.

Treating travellers from afar with great curtesy has been part of most human civilizations since long before romanticism.

Why would we do that? Roughly speaking, simply because they could tell stories about far away places.

The leap from giving a meal or lending out a bed for a chance to hear about how life is abroad to actually wanting to go yourself is incredibly short.

The fact that apes or chimpanzees don't want to go travelling has nothing to do with us.
The old people are crewing the boat. Trivial.
I don't understand the need for a "Purism Key" (AKA Search button). Any device I had them on I never used it. Rather do something like Spotlight/Alfred/Wox, where you can customise the hotkey.
> assuming a plain database (works as a mental model). In practice I guess there's one dataset which gets filtered out on its way through the network of servers to the user?

Google search doesn't work like this anymore. Search results for everyone are custom based on what they know about your. For example check out filter bubbles[1]. A blacklist would probably help their models. As for why it got removed we can only guess. I'm guessing it has to do with either bad UX (if you forgot you added domains they will never show up) or them wanting to be in full control of your search experience.

Not core.

There will never be Rust in Chrome or in Office.

Mozilla controls Rust because it's the largest Rust user.

Just like Google controls Go, even though it's opensource.

> The context-free metric for ranking cities is global relevance: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_city

I do not find the word context-free in that page. That's even ignoring that there are different rankings on that page, each with different outcomes, once again showing that without context there is no "best".

> If you ask someone what time it is, you don't get asked "where?" in return - the current location is implied.

Just because it's implied doesn't mean it's not context.
The only two companies that I know that offered on site Clojure jobs no longer accept new projects being written in it.

I stopped using Clojure after v1.2. I really love the language semantics: idiomatic Clojure is such a joy to read, but ultimately got tired of the lacklustre performance and the dogmatic, cult-like community.

I also no longer care about functional programming at this point in my career. Looking back, I think FP was not a way to write better code but an excuse for me to feel smug or superior to other programmers. I'm glad I grew over this.
Yes, this is indeed a weird way to frame the effect of coffee on iron absorption. There's a lot of medical litterature about how coffee often play a role in iron deficiency.

All of the speculative execution mitigations can be turned off with a single flag, I much prefer to have the option to turn them on/off, rather than either not having them at all or not having the ability to disable them.

So from my point of view, we're exactly where one would hope we would be in the face of these hardware flaws.
Time Tracking Software Programs (and Why You Should Use Them)
And the reason it's mostly not an issue for companies and people to stay safe is that we have many layers of protection around that. Being able to run untrusted code is required in a world where the combined code you run on a daily basis containes millions/billions of lines of code coming from a wide variety of sources.

IMHO in the cloud a sane mechanism to protect users would be to guarantee exclusive access to CPUs. The primary risk in the cloud is sharing CPUs with other cloud users. Cache flushing sounds like a sane thing to do in non performance critical applications where CPU sharing happens. There's a performance penalty but if you'd care about that you'd be using a different instance type anyway where you are guaranteed to have dedicated CPUs.

For bare metal/desktop use, flushing caches makes less sense.
I'm from Mexico. I lived in Guadalajara for ~8yrs while in University and the first years of my career before moving to Canada. I go back frequently, sometimes working remotely (a few times even in WeWork spaces, hah!). I love to go back, there's a lot of things I miss, but I'd not raise my kids there given the option (which I now have thankfully), both economy and violence are an issue. I can imagine living as a single or childless expat for a while can be a great experience though. I sometimes think of going back to retire to a town nearby one day.

FWIW, I've been living in Budapest now for a year and is quite nice, I like Europe overall too, but we'll be returning to Canada :-)
That's why I specified flu.
That sounds severely more dystopian than what we have now. I pray that this does not come to fruition. Don't give them ideas.
Try as I might, I cannot subscribe to cable internet without a TV package. So I'm shelling out over $100/mo to a monopoly for both. On top of that. I pay at least $50/mo for several additional streaming services. What is the monthly cost I would have to pay to get general access to all streaming content? Twice that much? Ten times as much?
In terms of Workload per Watts on AWS, cost per workload, or the actual cost of the processor the Graviton still has a lead. ( Although that was when compared to Zen 1 )

It wont be taken over any time soon. But I suspect the server market for x86 to shrink by quite a bit over the next 10 years.

Anyway where is Zen 3!
To your second point, yes, all the time and it's infuriating. You either need to slow down how you use the search results page, or they appear from nowhere just as you're trying to click the second link.

What's worse is I then berate myself mentally as I know that Google has some metric on how many times these suggestions get clicked, and there's some product owner somewhere saying "wow!, x% of users use these suggestions, let's keep this feature!"
One notable example I can think of is accessibility services.

In the US, public transit must accommodate the disabled, and for some types of trips or some types of disabilities there is a totally parallel transit system that involves specialized vehicles, operators, dispatchers to efficiently route vehicles, etc. It's also a massive PITA from the rider's POV, since you have to dial a call center to schedule a day in advance and you get a time window in which the driver will show up. This system dates from the '80s, before the Internet and before taxis were mandated to be accessible.

New York City tried a pilot program in which this system was replaced by subsidizing rideshare rides, since in the 21st century all taxis are required to have accommodations for the disabled anyways and you can leverage a well-tested system of ordering rides instantly and a large fleet of vehicles. While this did reduce per trip costs from $69 to $39, the increased convenience caused ridership to also skyrocket, so it ended up being a net drain on finances. [1] http://archive.is/N3DjJ
So nail bars, hair dressers, physiotherapists, dog groomers, painters and decorators, gardeners, and loads more are suddenly going to be equipped with, or replaced by, remote controlled robots?

Never experienced the latter; but couldn't agree more on the first issue. Actually if you'd not articulated it I'd have thought it was only me. These (farm?) have super awesome titles and content description but then takes to (ph|f)ishy pages. Usually happens to me when I search "[Ebook Title] download". Interestingly of the late I don't see a lot of them after coming to Europe (and see Google mentioning some GDPR compliance related omissions).
I recently set up a dns-over-https (doh) proxy on my router to forward dns requests to 5 resolvers, that also use dnssec.

I wish Firefox would expose the option from about:config in its user-friendly Preferences page so it will respect the "system default" (the advertised dns server).

I am - for no legitimate reasons - avoiding Cloudflare as a resolver. As far as I know Firefox uses Cloudflare.
I know that feeling. I have been asked to rewrite existing, perfectly functioning, high quality Perl, Clojure and Common Lisp projects to Java and Python far too many times. It's soul breaking, specially when you know it's being done in the name of wage control.
We have enough examples to look at. Even if caffeine ends up linked to some detrimental effects, its nothing on the scale of smoking/lung cancer. Plenty of people both drink or don't drink coffee and in the aggregate its not affecting outcomes to a noticeable degree.
I'm confused here. I asked the question of how people know it was taboo for ancient Egyptians. I didn't expect a question instead of an answer because I'm not proposing any side.

Maybe people are just going off assumptions and commenting on that basis but I'm generally curious what proof people have. Specifically, when it comes to such a culture finding the energy of attempting at storing the body and for their view on the afterlife requiring it as a necessity. I have no reason to assume such a culture wouldn't find inspecting graves to some degree as taboo and for any benefits of continuing the process they seemed to care about.
This is something that the average user fails to understand. One thing is saying I don't care they check on what I visit but once you aggregate enough information, it can become something of a "Big Brother".

With enough DNS data I can assure you I can see when you leave to work, get back, determine the moment when you leave for vacation and no one is home, etc.
Untrue.

Typescript uses Javascript as it's runtime so inherits all of it's problems, Objective-C and C are 100% transparent to each other and for real masochists it's even possible to call Objective-C from C with an awful and clunky API. So you'll find most of C's problem in Objective-C while it's a much nicer to use language to express business logic and definitely much more compiler safe. Kotlin uses the same JVM as Java and inherits some of it's limitations (around generics for example).

Swift has it's own run-time and used to ship it with every app built in it before the ABI was stabilized (and is still added for older versions of macOS and iOS if you target them). It still needs to interface libraries written in C and Objective-C and for that reason some parts of the language aren't as clean as I would like to see it, but otherwise UIKit and other libraries wouldn't have been compatible.

A one sided test is only valid if you know that it's not possible to get a result in the other direction. In the general case you don't know for certain that B can't be faster than A. One sided tests are almost always invalid as it's very difficult to know that the other direction is impossible.

If this doesn't make sense, I would recommend running simulations under the null hypothesis. You will see that 5% of the time you will falsely conclude that A < B and that in another 5% of the time you will conclude that B < A, leading to an overall false positive rate of 10%.

Good advice. That has always been true for programmers. We constantly have to invest in learning new kinds of things.
Maybe I'm too naive, but where I work I would trust them not to scan for information like that or I would be extremely disappointed in them.
Hi Cris! First of all, I love to see new hash designs, it is great!

The standard disclaimer is “please do not use this for cryptographic purposes,” placed at the top of the README.

(I like to add a hint afterwards, like “If you need security, please use BLAKE3.”)

Second, if you do want to make a version in the same family with cryptographic properties, a few things are expected:

• Careful list of cryptographic claims (is it a PRF? a PRP? a compression function? is it collision resistant? with what probability of success?…)

• A published paper with preliminary cryptanalysis. What is the average number of evaluations of the hash function for key recovery? How much probabilistic information of the state bits can be gained from the output? How much output leads to a state recovery? What is the worst statistical bias of the output from single-bit input changes?

• Multiple rounds. The production hash should use at least one more round than is shown to be cryptanalytically safe; ideally twice.

• I worry that multiplication, in particular 128-bit multiplication, is subject to timing attacks. It is uncommon to see it used in cryptographic hashes.

Disclaimer: I am not a cryptographer by trade, so this advice is insufficient.
