I would like to see a return of the Macbook. I loved the form factor on mine, but after a couple OS updates the anemic processor became a painful bottleneck. On the flipside my several years old iPad pro still feels blazingly fast.
Equilibria concepts in game theory are many and varied. A system may have many Nash Equilibria, in mixed strategies and in pure strategies. Nash equilibria are where no one player has an incentive to deviate from their current strategy.

Game theory is a fascinating topic I highly encourage interested folks to investigate.
Isn't that a valid criticism?
It's early from a pure legal no-negotiation standpoint, but remember that we're approaching the point (which has gotten surprisingly little coverage to me) where a lot of core patents on x86-64 will expire. AMD64 was announced in 1999, 2000 saw the spec out, 2003 was the first implementation if I remember right with Opteron, and in 2006 Intel had Conroe out. Even Apple officially dropped support for early x86-64 Macs, it was often due to things like early issues with their EFI implementations or GPU drivers for Intel IGP, not because of some added instruction they were depending on. There were many examples of people doing some hacks to get non-supported versions of macOS to run long after it wouldn't install by default and it would work fine. So in terms of the minimum needed to achieve essentially all the backwards compatibility Apple would care about, it's gotta be pretty close since patent applications and priority dates are typically well before implementations. And even if not everything they wanted was expired, the mere fact of it happening would create leverage for other bits.

So it'll be really interesting what they've done, they may well have not merely an emulator but something involving a hardware layer as well. Or I guess maybe they'll just dump BC like some have pessimistically expected, but useful forms of x86-64 becoming open to any player seems like it might be a pretty big deal for the industry doesn't it? As we've reached the flatter part of the S-curve and the ISA lifetime has stretched out far longer then anyone expected at one point, it's actually catching up with old IP law for once. 20 years is a long, long time in tech. But it's not forever, and maybe not so long as it once was even.

Thanks for that! I went down the rabbit hole of looking at NY court records.
Chart cumulative all cause deaths per seasonal influenza year (meaning week 40 to week 39) for each of the nordic countries. Correct prior years for population growth. Then take the average all cause mortality of the past 7 (or 10, whatever) years and compare that to this year's all cause mortality and you'll get a completely different result. Or just eyeball the all cause mortality of the previous couple of years: https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EZlnYQCU0AA0jkv?format=png&name=...

It's so "obvious" that Sweden is an outlier that people don't bother to look at the data more seriously. Sweden didn't lock down ergo it must be a disaster, the data be damned.

> in terms of overall mortality rates for people 65+ it's quite obvious that it's not a big problem

That's correct. The overal mortality of all Nordic countries is completely unexceptional. Politicians panicked because they believed that this disease would be very deadly (it isn't), kills healthy young people (it doesn't), spreads exponentially (it never has), and spreads through asymptomatic hosts (it doesn't).
Similar situation in the VFX industry. Post-employment NCAs would devastate this industry and ruin the lives of thousands of individuals with how this industry works. And add more spots on the map of which studios to completely avoid.
The key thing is to look for courses released, like, 2018 or later.

There's a certain truth to be considered that there are some things you will never be able to master, not even after 20000 hours. Usually people identify these things early on in life, but sometimes it takes a while.

For example, I realized early on that I would never be able to become a fighter pilot.
That’s not at all true.

A few years ago I replaced a 2012 MacBook Air with a much more expensive 2016 MacBook Pro (with Retina display) and there was an obvious regression in UI responsiveness. It was bad enough that I regretted giving away the older laptop so quickly.

The difference is almost certainly the higher pixel count. At least as of 2016 the onboard GPUs in intel chips haven’t been fast enough to make the UI feel snappy. I ended up buying an egpu for my desk to make my external displays usable. The experience out of the box using the onboard gpu was awful.

Peter Pham Explains How He Raised Almost $2B in 10 Years
$156k in SF for a contractor is garbage pay. You have to pay for all your own expenses. Maybe you'd net $110k after all taxes and expenses.

There's real contractors and then there's fake contractors which should always be called staff augmentation.

No real senior software dev contractor would accept $75/hour in the Bay area. You're looking at minimum $100/hour.

Although, "fake contractors" or staff augmentation, those can be paid $75/hour or less.
And a mildly golfed true/false check:

str => [...Array(26)].every((e, i) => str.indexOf(String.fromCharCode(97 + i)) >= 0)

There should probably be a .toLowerCase() in there, though.

Audio plugins are one of the few software domains where you'll still often find handcoded assembly in performance critical sections. I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of third party vendors don't make the transition.

On the other hand DAWs are more complete in the box now than ever so this is probably less of an obstacle to switching from the users' point of view than it would have been 5 years ago.
Couldn't have done it without k8s?

Ahahahahaha, kids say the darndest things these days...
In October 2010, a mother in Florida had shaken her baby to death, as the baby would interrupt her FarmVille games with crying. A mother destroyed with her own hands what she’d been programmed over aeons to love, just to keep on responding to Facebook notifications triggered by some idiot game. Products that cause mothers to murder their infants in order to use them more, assuming they’re legal, simply cannot fail in the world

Everything you need to know about everyone involved in this.
DSP etc. are the kind of things likely optimized for architectures, using intrinsics for vectorization and whatnot.
I’m 6’2” and weighed about 150 lbs. last year. Now I weigh 180 lbs. and I attribute the weight gain almost exclusively to eating the number of calories I actually was supposed to (chronic under-eater before). It sucked at first, shoveling all the food I could in... but now I’ve tapered off and have maintained 180 for the last twelve months or so with relative ease. You just gotta EAT.
Love the idea of this. I've tried to use something similar (at least in function), called Cryptomator. However, Cryptomator would always choke on larger files or directories with thousands of items (e.g. my Google Photos gallery). Will be interested to see if this or another solution is what I'm looking for.
You could probably use something like this or dokku? They don't only host web based apps.
Good suggestion! Insecure protocols routed through secure protocols are always an option. Tip for those who do this in production - add sufficient documentation/training so that the new guy on the team knows about it.
for 2 person project dokku is the smartest choice
Flintstoning your way around hard technical challenges
I just tried it in a @microsoft/rush project of mine.

Added a new project with 1 dependency (which contains a single one-liner function to return a test string). No other dependencies.

Takes about 30s to start. Not sure whether the fact that my dependency is a link with many siblings due to rush and pnpm is an issue, but it is a far cry from 50ms.

Also I did not get it to reliably pick up when the dependency has changed (cache invalidation most likely has an incompatible strategy with `npm link`/`pnpm`.

Snowpack in principle looks nice, but I think I need something else

If you're using PostgreSQL, pgAdmin might be all the GUI you need, or whatever your database's equivalent program is.
My interviews have been some combination of:

1. Techno trivia on whatever stack the company was interested in.

2. Database modeling and queries.

3. Questions about past projects and the choices I made.

4. Whiteboard design questions (no coding)

5. Here is a skeletal project - do these 5 or six simple programming tasks. Use google if necessary.

6. Process, design and soft skill questions.

I have changed jobs 8 times in 24 years.

Since all of my experience is in the enterprise development/architecture space, I figured my best bet into getting into $BigTech without spending time “learning leetCode” was through their cloud consulting division. I tried my luck at AWS and I got in - no algorithms, not much techno trivia, just a lot of explaining past projects and soft skills questions on “Leadership Principles”. Also - fully remote with travel post-Covid.

I don't know the answer to that, but keep in mind that Apple is control of the entire CPU design.
They could for example put an x86 decoder in front of the ARM cores.

After all, modern Intel processors decode x86 to a simpler instruction set used internally anyway.

They 100% were lying to me.

I spoke to a family friend who quit the police department I was dealing with over ethical concerns. He said that it was pretty standard practice, especially when dealing with a case they had zero suspects on. He said, "they'll bring you in, they'll tell you you failed, and they'll tell you that if you confess, they'll go easy on you because you're so young. It's not the results that matter on a polygraph, it's the answers you give. Don't lie, and don't incriminate yourself."

He was 100% correct. They brought me back to the station, into an interrogation room, and after about an hour of waiting, told me exactly what he said they would.

I lost all respect for law enforcement through that process.
Could you or GP recommend a few best of episodes?
yes, the title and introduction don't seem too compelling from the outside, but once it gets into the topic it's indeed a great discussion of the problem witholding us from a better world.

so, I have to ask. maybe we haven't coordinated well enough to solve this, but can we coordinate well enough to at least get some bibliography on the topic, attempts at improving the situation...? or is people convinced this is unsolvable? is there any place, site, book or organization seriously trying to tackle this? (I'll search more later, but maybe someone can already add something useful)

Uninteresting book, to be honest. Not the worst story, though, but uninteresting.
Titles, or more likely time. I submitted this a couple weeks ago and was just notified it was in the "second chance" pool, so I resubmitted. Second time around, it made it to the front page with the same exact title.

Or maybe people are just more into typography news now as opposed to two weeks ago...

IPFS already has a storage and data layer as well as integrity and other properties. I wonder if it would be a good backend for this filesystem.
If they market this right, I don’t see big problems.

Many users live mostly in the browser, anyways. Photos, Pages, Numbers and Keynote will be native. If they convince Dropbox and Microsoft to have native apps, support iOS apps better than they do now (that should cover casual gaming), and make it cheaper than the ‘equivalent’ x64 one, I think they would have a product.

I have an existing use case for this. One of the music players that I use a lot is command line based and I start it to run with shuffle-play (i.e., play songs randomly). Sometimes the song chosen isn't something I want to listen to at that time. However, I don't have a nice way of skipping/advancing the currently playing song. If I really want to skip the song I have to Ctrl-C out of it and restart it. I was going to add signal handlers for SIGUSR1, but I didn't know how to do this in Python.

Adding a library such as this one, I could also enhance to alter queued up songs.

Ask HN: Should I Start an Email List?
I’m debating starting an email list to keep people up to date on my personal projects and writing. My main motivation is to get eyes on some of the projects I'm working on. I don’t have any business or product I’m trying to sell, but I think in a few years I would like to, which is why I would like to have an audience in place.

The drawback, as I see it, is time. No matter how small of an effort this is (IE once a month) it will still take time away from other productive activities. I’m also still coming to terms with the idea of self promotion.

I know that to get noticed I need to market myself, but it feels a little odd (especially since I’m not trying to sell anything - yet). I’m also worried I wont be able to have enough “interesting” material to send out on a regular basis (IE monthly).

I’m interested in different perspectives on this. Do you have an email list that isn’t strictly related to a business? Is it helpful? How much time do you spend maintaining it? Are there any tools or services you recommend?
