> I guess every μΩ of resistance counts

More importantly, every μH of inductance counts. Running 200 A into the chip is not that difficult, the real difficulty is the high di/dt - how to maintain a nice regulated voltage when the current consumption suddenly raises from 10 A to 200 A within a few microseconds.

We once outsourced a native iOS app to a large consultancy. They were able to develop a working iOS app in a short amount of time. How did they do it? They threw at least twenty people (at the peak) on the project. And they used their own framework. It handled everything from network calls to CoreData to action sheet UI to the “kitchen sink”. Everything in that app extended a base class in their framework. They did give us a snapshot-in-time of their source behind their framework, and any iOS dev who had to fix bugs or add new features to the app they threw together eventually cursed the framework. Because sometimes adding a new UI animation or different navigation way required mucking through the framework code, sometimes frustratingly unsuccessfully. The app is no longer in use, having been rewritten.

Yeah, all it could do for you is autocomplete around what it thinks the specification might be at that point in time.

Huh. A lot of us use serverless relational databases now, if by “serverless” you mean “runs on a remote server someone else manages.” AWS RDS, for example.

A pain to distribute geographically? What do you think big enterprises and banks use? Oracle or Mongo? If by “a pain” you mean “not free” then you’re right. Depends on how valuable your data is and how much you care about integrity.
Looks cool. If you want to temper your expectations though, play some AI Dungeon.
Well this is the problem with intel. I'm typing this on a 5930K. A machine that happy overclocks to an all core 4.5Ghz without even bumping the voltage. I run it with custom turbo stops (minimum clock rate is now its previous 3.7Ghz factory turbo) up to around 4.7 with a liquid cooler.

Back when broadwell came out, I looked at upgrading just the CPU, but clock for clock it didn't add anything, so I didn't. Then intel changed the socket, effectively stranding me. So every year or so it gets a new GPU, faster NVMe, etc but the CPU is still a 5930k.

I did something similar with an AM2 motherboard, but AMD kept releasing cores that were backwards compatible to that socket, and after they stopped I went another generation before swapping it. Something like 8 years with the same motherboard (and in the end I was running a CPU that wasn't even officially supported on it) and copy of windows XP.

I don't really mind spending the money on faster hardware, but I really hate spending weeks stabilizing a complete motherboard/gpu/drivers, installing applications, etc. If I could plug something like the i7-10700K into this motherboard I would buy it right now.

Bottom line, I think intel is shooting themselves in the foot by changing the motherboard socket again. Sure people will buy it, but there is a subset of real enthusiasts that might have just upgraded a early low/midrange skylake for one of these newer higher end ones. Instead of being a $300-400 upgrade, its a new motherboard, ram, etc. So they might as well just buy an AMD.

Exponential growth works in the other direction as well: if you have no children, you are freeing up resources to provide for other people’s children. And other people will continue having children (see your own argument about exponential growth).
> a fairly minimal "pension" payment to all retired citizens

The U.S. version of that is "Social Security" (which is funded by a payroll tax).

> Is the cap on any payment into the 401K or just the employer's contribution?

Yes, the maximum amount an employee can contribute yearly is limited by law. (You can make additional "catch-up" contributions if you're aged 50 years or older, which are also limited by law.)
Trimming is already supported and they're investing heavily into making it more aggressive. A web app was about 17mb in one of the demos at the conference that I saw. You can get it smaller if you make it more aggressive yourself but you may have to whitelist specific namespaces if it accidentally removes that you're using that it can't detect.
This doesn’t affect just Chinese companies; it applies to any company controlled by a foreign government. So the title isn’t fully accurate.

The bill is very short, but here’s the relevant section (§2B):

> (B) require each covered issuer identified under subparagraph (A) to, in accordance with the rules issued by the Commission under paragraph (4), submit to the Commission documentation that establishes that the covered issuer is not owned or controlled by a governmental entity in the foreign jurisdiction described in subparagraph (A)(i).

Maybe it’s just me, but this is very vague. What about US based subsidiaries? I do also find it peculiar how it explicitly mentions “foreign jurisdiction”; which means companies doing the business of the NSA are exempt.

For those wanting to read the bill, it’s S.945: https://www.congress.gov/bill/116th-congress/senate-bill/945...

I don't understand why we have to store the entire dataset in the URL, when something like ?utm_id=1 (mapped to the others in some database) would do. It's stuff like this that prevents average users from "getting" URLs; they don't know what UTM is and assume it is important to get to the information.

This garbage breaks the UX of the internet.
One alternative to repeated polling or Flash is hanging GETs. But yes, that's a pretty weird hack.
As a user, I want all the apps on my computer to behave in a consistent way. In theory, this should be possible regardless of how apps are programmed, but in practice, using a consistent UI framework appears to be a prerequisite. On my Mac, it is very obvious when an app hasn't been built with either Carbon or Cocoa. And on Windows, the overall lack of consistency across everything is equally obvious.

Now, Microsoft is not all app developers—but they could set an example for how developers should be approaching the Windows platform. And from where I sit, they're setting a bad example at the moment.

If it's really necessary for Microsoft Teams to be using Electron while Office uses UWP, those teams should be making a huge push for consistency in terms of what's user visible. They either (A) are not trying (B) are doing a bad job or (C) it's just nearly impossible to use completely different libraries and have the UX match.

(If anyone knows of a counterexample, where apps using different frontend technologies achieved visual and UX unity, please let me know! It's possible my underlying thesis is wrong.)

You define your layers with 'mugur-keymap' as in the example, and then you generate the C code with 'mugur-generate'. After that, you do what every Ergodox user does with its C code: flash it.

If you do get an Ergo, eventually, and you want to try mugur, I'll be more than happy to help if you have problems with it or need new features. Open a ticket or drop me a line.

Don't underestimate the power of immediate convenience.

And for that matter, there are a number of people who effectively live paycheck to paycheck - "If I buy it online, it wont show up until next week, so I'll wait until I need it and buy it locally" (I understand how credit works, but many people dont, or dont have credit for some other reason). Additionally, there are a sizeable number of people who cant, or wont buy anything online.
It sounds like it's trying to address the points made in "The China Hustle" [1] where investors aren't able to assess Chinese companies listed on US markets.

I'm aware of this -- obviously nature wants you to get breeding early, but I would argue that you should weigh the risks and the benefits, including benefits to the kids based on your ability to be good parents.

This is probably[0] an even bigger consideration for women[1] but in many societies that's not stopping them from having kids in their late 40's.

I guess I wasn't clear in my post: I think the US frowns on significant age differences (>10y maybe?) in relationships, with exceptions for the rich and famous who are expected to do what they want. Probably other societies share this prejudice. Many do not. I have no idea whether this prejudice extends to children.

Owls can make some noise when they want to as well. My grandparents had an old abandoned silo on their property that we knew some barn owls were roosting in. We went out at dusk to watch them. It was amazing how quiet and graceful they were. But they didn't like us being there and swooped down to yelled at us a few times. Since we didn't hear them coming and it was quiet out they took us by surprise and really made us jump.

It was also neat looking through their pellets at the bottom of the silo to see what bones were recognizable.

Show HN: A Straightforward REST API Framework for Deno
Well, there's many factors to consider, any of which could make the idea, worthwhile or not:

- The market, a new type of buggy whip might not have much demand anymore [1].

- The investment for an MVP, building a rocket for mars is a great idea but may take millions of dollars and years of time.

- The competition, creating a new Search Engine is a great idea, but the field is dominated by big powerful companies like; Google & Bing...

- The novelty, a new JavaScript framework work web apps must be pretty different to attract much attention these days.

- Your expertise, creating a new baby toy with no knowledge of babies may turn out terribly.

- Your passion, if the idea doesn't excite you, then it's probably not worth dedicating your time to.

Passion is probably the most influential factor in my opinion, because it should keep you motivated when things get tough.

New GPU and GUI Features Announced for WSL at Build
id Software, a much smaller company, open sourced the source code of almost all their games and ported them to operating systems known not to be profitable. The benefits of those altruistic decisions are simply unmeasurable. They did all this while still having to work an insane amount of hours to ship their ambitious products.

For example, not long ago, Quake II RTX was released by NVIDIA as a way to demonstrate the advanced raytracing capabilities of their new RTX cards. A decision made in 2001 (open sourcing Quake II) continues to benefit the world today.

Decades ago, Sun Microsystems open sourced OpenOffice, Java and Solaris. LibreOffice is a fork of OpenOffice and is one of the few office suites available free of cost.

Before Microsoft acquired Github, Github open sourced Atom, an editor similar in scope to VS Code. They also open sourced Electron, which is the framework used by VS Code.

Smaller companies have been doing much more. Microsoft has open sourced some interesting projects, but to say that companies are open sourcing projects because Microsoft is a pioneer in open source is just 4/20 talk.

Microsoft will never open source strategic projects like DirectX, Microsoft Office, SQL server or Windows. They will keep making money hand over fist.

This is pretty incredible! I'm excited to see some of the innovative projects that public health agencies build around this. I applaud Google and Apple for collaborating on a single API that opens a new information channel out to the public (billions of devices!) and could imagine a future where real-time contact tracing inspires enough confidence in people/businesses to get things moving again provided the proper precautions are in place. I also hope we don't get over confident because of tools like these and blink first.

Couple of other interesting changes listed in the notes:

Face ID and Passcode

Passcode field automatically presented after swiping up from the bottom of the Lock screen when you are wearing a face mask
Also works when authenticating with the App Store, Apple Books, Apple Pay, iTunes, and other apps that support signing in with Face ID

FaceTime

Option to control automatic prominence on Group FaceTime calls so video tiles do not change size when a participant speaks

Emergency Services

Option to automatically share health and other essential information from your Medical ID with emergency services when you place an emergency call (US only)

The first two make my life easier and the third is helpful. Thank you.

Well, most might indeed be, but for some, 3 factors I can think of are that...

1) the QoL/unhappy people I notice are mostly due to financial situation - if your friends are all in tech it won't apply; or the fact that one of the parents switched their focus completely onto children and neglects their spouse (and it's not always the wife)

2) you may not know some of them closely enough or see them in regular life. It's not socially acceptable to regret having children or admit it sucks, by word or action.

3) Many are obvious cases of stockholm syndrome.
The most obvious example (rare, but imo symptomatic for everyone) is when people say they are blessed to experience having a child with severe disability. I always want to ask (but never will), would you have wished for such a blessing before the kid was born, if given a choice? I could believe someone who says it sucks in many ways but worth it, but when someone claims to feel "blessed" in these circumstances... sure, suit yourself :)

A less obvious one is when people tell you it's great and there are no downsides. Again I can believe people who say they are happy despite the tradeoffs, but sometimes people tell you there basically no downsides to kids; and 3 minutes before/after will tell you how they would like to pick up their abandoned hobbies, how their health is deteriorating due to lack of exercise, they cannot work from home due to distractions, haven't had time for sex in 3 months, haven't slept properly in 3 weeks, ... but there are no downsides!
