Apple being able to migrate across CPU types is notable.

They've done it how many times now?

Just musing on that fact, and the impact it has on their thinking.
It is kind of a pain, I need to automate it more too, let's Encrypt is really great in that regard.
Except npm has order of magnitude more users.
My understanding is that Android is going to start disallowing execution of downloaded binaries, and they'll need to be in an apps lib folder. See the termux issues on GitHub for a discussion of this.
I expect it to be faster, but doing performance evaluation is really hard work. Performance depends on so many variables, including the workloads you're trying to render and a ton of factors about the GPU and system. I know people are really curious about competitive performance against other renderers, and it's something I should probably do, but honestly I'd love it if somebody else took up that mantle.
"The alliance between European indentured servants and Africans (many enslaved until death or freed), united by their bond-servitude, disturbed the ruling class. The ruling class responded by hardening the racial caste of slavery in an attempt to divide the two races from subsequent united uprisings with the passage of the Virginia Slave Codes of 1705."

Fascinating. I grew up in rural Virginia. A little Known fact is that the vast majority of white settlers there were indentured and/or bonded, often convicts. The first Africans in 1619 were indentured as well. Horrifically, in the 1650s when the first African slaves were brought over, the elites pushed further changes in social norms that resulted in a significant worsening of treatment of the African indentured servants who had long since become free landowners and farmers. A formerly indentured, free black man had a prosperous farm a few miles from where I grew up. The courthouse there dates to the 1600s, and the records are there that show jealous white neighbors gradually stealing his land with impunity, starting at the time that slaves started becoming common. It is chilling looking at those documents standing in that building.
But totally worth it to create a “local” team that will find 10,000 such trades by using advanced aggregation and analysis techniques.

Allsides.com is an interesting attempt to evaluate media sources for bias, and agrees with you. Through some fairly detailed surveys they "found that The Hill maintains a Center bias, though on the border of Lean Left." https://www.allsides.com/news-source/hill-media-bias
If you end up having to apply for a normal job this just means you're positioned for "product manager" or something like that, rather than software developer. Most places, that's better, especially so far as long-term career goes. In terms both of pay and social standing. Congrats.
Most financially independent early retirement (FIRE) types don’t preach “micro private equity”... especially in a time when leveraged people are getting margin called with Covid. good luck to OP.

What blows my mind is that there's a Rust encoder, but no Rust decoder. There are many more orders of magnitude of people who will use a decoder than an encoder. One would think that the safe decoder would have come first.
I have, in the past, purchased from a local farmer whose cows lived well. I'm not opposed to the idea of eating meat, but here in the states of you get meat somewhere you haven't vetted, the provenance probably includes animal cruelty.
Honestly, sounds like micro.blog and how I use it. Most importantly, micro.blog uses Micropub, an existing W3C standard API for blogging which is why things like Drafts, iAWriter, MarsEdit etc can all support it.

Don’t get me wrong, this is a very cool project and it looks like you’ve done a great job. I would recommend looking into Micropub support though rather than role your own API. The IndieWeb group has worked hard and built up a lot of easy to use and powerful standards around this stuff.
I spent a lot of time in combat zones with the Army, where everybody is required to carry a loaded weapon at all times, and actually, in terms of petty crime, squabbles and victimization, I’ve never felt safer. If there’s only a few people with guns, however, signs of emotional instability make me very nervous.
oh cool, didn't knew that existed!
> extra hype made people more sensitive..

Sure, because you people talk about it literally everywhere.

> other one is the fear of realizing that Rust is going to take over some day.

It is not. It is a good systems language, not so much for application domains where other languages get shit done in half the cognitive load. just because rust community likes to promote rust for everything and involves in dishonest marketing that borrow checker is not a problem, rust is not the optimal language for applications domains where high guarantees and low resource usage aren't mandatory.

Short answer, yes, I believe it could work, though not with much margin to spare. It might require some dedicated optimization work to fit the frame budget, especially when you know things about the scene (it's mostly small glyphs and with basically no overdraw) as opposed to being completely general purpose.

Doing a warp transformation in the element processing kernel would probably work just fine, and give you realistic movement and razor-sharp rendering.

I'd love to see such a thing and would very much like to encourage people to build it based on my results :)
Ask HN: Startup/Software Scene in Boulder?
I’m curious to know who I should meet, or where I should hang out in Boulder to meet software/startup people.

I’m a software engineer that just moved here from Austin and I’m looking to get plugged into a good network. I prefer meeting people serious about tech, startups, and investing. Open to any suggestions or meeting up!
I understand how dangerous it is to have news organizations operating in bad faith. Even if I recognize it and avoid their venue, my neighbors may not. In 2020, these online platforms can reach a billion+ people. Misleading statements, or flat-out lies can create a mob very quickly.

I'd still rather have the ability to dissent online, rather than losing the platforms that may be held liable for what I post.

Section 230 is a good thing. Removing it would (in my opinion) only lead to de-platforming people the state disagrees with.

"Think of the children!"
It depends on the company that you'll be applying at. Before my own company was making enough to cover my bills I had to go back to a regular job and most of my experience at that time was either at my own startup or at others. I had some companies only offer me junior salaries because they didn't consider my experience at startups - it didn't count in their books. However, there were plenty of other companies that valued my background and that's where I found a home until I could go full-time with my own company (I decided to bootstrap). The company I joined wasn't a startup. Not all companies will value your background but the ones that do will pay you well. You'll need to interview around and don't be frustrated if the first place you apply to dismisses your startup background.
Being "simple" for a C program to decode is not the point; generating the smallest hardware to decode instructions and to reduce the critical path for things like deducing the instruction operands are.

For example, the operands all stay in the same position, which prevents putting decode on the critical path before you can figure out which registers you need to read (which is doubly important for superscalar designs which need to compute the register dependence graph). Likewise, the sign-extend bit for immediates is always in the same place, providing relief for another potential critical path.

It won't be though, most of my activism has been for farmer's rights and if you think petitioning government to go against its corporate lobbyists is not just realistic but not a total waste of time you don't understand the paradigm you're talking about.

That effort is better spent to more productive ends: Food Education is key, as is story telling; just look at the explosion of foodies and Influencers on Social Media in the last 10 years, specifically because of programs from Anthony Bouradain and Chef's table. And my personal favorite Dotchi no Ryouri from Japan, which is an awesome model that I hope gets resurrected. Hell, many of my fellow cooks, be it in Europe or the US were drawn to culinary because the original Iron Chef from Japan which had more reverence for the ingredients and story telling than anything that came before it. We all wanted to do something that lived up to that narrative.

The adage: 'you only win by creating a better paradigm' best sums up this situation. Not waiting for regulators and legislation to innovate should resonate deeply amongst fellow tech workers destined to want to disrupt the monoliths. The Truth is, Agriculture, and the Food Industry as a whole, is the proverbial Goliath and the organic/permaculture/Biodynamic farmers are the David.

Its time more people realized that and acted accordingly: don't like a Law? Use your only real vote you have in the West (money) to negate it, eventually this will lead to things like Marijuana being decriminalized and regulated by individual States in defiance to the Federal Government, and Hemp going from a schedule 1 drug to being 50 state legal and having CBD products found at your local Safeway and on Amazon right now. I should know, I was there and active in that space for both of those things in the US.

Lastly, livestock are not Humans; we are doing an unnatural (all Agriculture is) process, the best we can do is follow cruel-free models that enhance the animal's life that results in an amazing end product. Asking for anything more is literately impossible.

And making that analogy to Humans takes us into murky waters I'd rather not venture, as its more philosophical, perhaps even bordering on sophism.

> Gathering information isn't a crime, in fact gathering and acting on that information is explicitly what you want at an aggregate level. What you don't want is entities stealing or misappropriating information that doesn't belong to them. I think all the mentioned data categories are basically Fb's line of business, so if it's usable it seems like its pretty fair game.

This entire thread is getting so tangled up in what's presently legal and supportable under our exact, current implementation of capitalism that all of our brains have fallen out.

We don't need Facebook to have this much power! Why should they be allowed to keep this much capital untaxed? Why should they be allowed to own and operate Whatsapp, Instagram, Spotify, and Oculus, all as one huge entity?
Indeed and have. But I have a feeling that the returns that fb would make on their VC investments will be much higher than investment in their stock. There would of course be trickle down effect.
If you stored the data in a distributed fashion initially then it's not a problem.

Redshift, Bigquery etc implement it this way and then have various schemes for computation on top. Redshift bundles individual compute with storage whereas other implementations scale the compute independent of the distributed storage.

But this has allowed very cheap scale for querying large datasets and in practice, I imagine you very rarely have to worry about implementing the data transport yourself beyond initial loading with tools like those available.

Edit: Also most clouds moving data within their networks is free so really it's just talking time for moving data which indirectly influcences cost in terms of run time.
For whatever it's worth: I'm a mostly conservative person who dislikes Trump (that seems to me that should be a tautology, even if it seems to others it's an oxymoron). I've been looking for tolerable media - something that doesn't give Trump a pass. I've found National Review to be an interesting read because the writers there seem to frequently disagree with each other. To my knowledge, none of them have been punished for these disagreements.
Emotional Blocks as Obstacles to Learning
It sounds like you can stay lean and grow your business. Don’t even raise any VC.
> they just think the status quo is optimum, is a global maxima.

I don’t think that’s a fair characterization of right wing thought, either in general or specifically in Brazil.

In general the conservative view is to improve the status quo without throwing away the good things that have been achieved. It’s an understanding that it’s much easier to destroy things (even if unintentionally) then it is to build them.

I’ll agree the left sometimes good at identifying problems, but the proposed cures are often worse than the disease, as seen with the recent abolish/defund the police idea that had quickly gained traction in the left.

To give a more concrete example: Brazil is under a right wing government after 16 years of left wing ones. The current administration seems to want to reduce the size of the public sector, which has massively increased in the last decades, and decentralize government structure (one of its campaign slogans was “less Brasilia, more Brazil”, referring to a reduction of the influence of the federal government in state or city issues).

So one can argue that this is a right wing administration that wants to change the status quo built along the current past decades.

On the other hand, a left wing administration would probably try to increase the size of the public sector even more, or at least increase the benefits public workers have over private sector ones, so you could say they wouldn’t be happy with the status quo either.

In either case, no side would seem to ever consider the status quo as a global maxima. Therefore I don’t think this definition is valid or useful to define what is right or left wing.

In fact, you said it yourself, when you mentioned that everyone likes the status quo when it benefits them. It seems to me every one would be happy with at least some aspect of the status quo, and unhappy with others. Is everyone simultaneously right and left wing? If so, isn’t that classification somewhat useless?

I think the status quo issue is more about corporatism than it is about left and right. For example, I know people who describe themselves as right wing/conservatives, but they are public sector workers, and therefore angry at any mention of possible reductions of their privileges.

I will also dispute that progressive views are what makes society go forward. Sometimes they are, sometimes they aren’t. You don’t have to look much further than the issues of cancel culture, online shaming and censorship against people who fail to use the right words or publicly defend the right causes, which are undoubtedly a result of modern left/progressive thought. I think we’re definitely going backwards in this case.

Anyway, sorry if this was too much rambling, it’s a bit late here. Good night :)
Angel investing needs to be automated and commoditized.

I believe the focus on having superior foresight and personalities in this space are nonsense, especially when we have over 40 years of actuarial data to study from.

The known knowns and known unknowns of angel investing should be well modellable by now, just like flood risk. This should translate to fund structures, deal terms and milestone expectations that can be made transparent and standardized across geographies and across industries.

I would like to see angel investment being accessible to A LOT more people than the lucky few in Silicon Valley. If portfolio size is the best determinant of success, imagine an angle fund the size of Blackrock.
Nice app!

Delivering this in three weeks is very impressive.

Mind sharing how you made the walkthrough video?

I wanted to do something similar and yours really catches the eye.
Well keep in mind, your transaction basically just floats out in the void until a miner adds it to their block, so you have no idea who's actually going to add it (if anybody does) because due to how Bitcoin works you have no idea who's going to mine the next block(s). It's also basically another market to a degree - It's not really about how much a miner wants as much as how many transactions there are with a particular fee. The blockchain only supports so many transactions per block, so if you send a transaction with no fee and there's enough transactions with fees to fill every block (like with Bitcoin), your transaction will likely never get picked up because there's no reason for a miner to take it.

That said, I agree I'm not a huge fan of a system, but it makes some sense from the standpoint of how Bitcoin works - miners are paid for their work via new bitcoins created as part of their block. But, Bitcoin itself is designed to be deflationary and eventually the number of new bitcoins per block will go to zero, leaving the fees as the only way miners get paid. And the fees thus aren't deterministic as a way of allowing the amount miners are paid to vary over time.

Still, I don't think it's quite as bad as you're thinking - it's not really hard to figure out what an acceptable fee value is with a quick google, and it doesn't really change that much day to day.
Yes, I think a better way to quickly save and organize bookmarks, addressing needs for both immediate use and for long-term reference would be a good way forward.
Perhaps deliberately, to hide the fact that it's based on a stolen article (see comment above) or several scraped articles.

Another similar CPU is Nvidia's Denver. It was intended to run both x86 and ARM, but patents got in the way so now it's just ARM. Is there any merit to this design?
The machines will not be pleased by this.

Have been digging into segmentation and paging in Linux as well as x86_64 instruction encoding lately. Almost all the technically detailed information I know of elides discussion of historical context. Coming to these things for the first time, there is so much that feels counter to how one would want to design things if starting from scratch.

Thus, I spend quite a bit of thought, trying to infer the historical constraints and motivations that give us x86's beauty, but I'd love to have some resources that could flesh out my understanding in this regard.
Recently my idea of a dream house would something in the traditional Japanese style with wood, tatami, shoji, and a beautiful garden. I remember being really blown away by the Nomura house [1] in Kanazawa many years ago.

Of course I would probably want to update it with better insulation, air conditioning, and more glass/screens to let me enjoy the views of the garden while keeping the bugs out.

The best part is you don’t even need to break the bank to get something like that. An old abandoned Japanese folk house can be purchased for next to nothing and completely renovated for less than the cost of a 1 bedroom condo in the Bay Area. [2]

I understand you're making a lot of good points; However, Jinja templating happens "before" it becomes YAML.

It's not "injected" into the YAML.m

I get people have criticisms; But it's not like these things are very difficult to overcome. Outside of creating a DSL, what could actually be different?

It sounds like your complaints are more to do with Jinja + YAML and Ansible was unfortunately a victim of some of those issues?

While a lot of negatives are pointed out about the marriage between the two, there are still at least some positives I believe.

Disclaimer: I have nothing to do with the tool outside of using it.
I would be blown away if Facebook wasn’t using an algorithm based on what publishers you used the most to show you news. Unless you can set up a 1000 computer clean room study with clean ips and everything and prove that they all get the same news no matter how much they go to one side first there’s no real way to know.

4 million innocent people murdered in illegal wars is a lot of blood on the hands of the American people

That's very simplistic, and ignorant. Those deaths were the result of the dissolution of a regime forcefully (ie. using terror) to hold together an unstable populace. Sure, it was triggered by US actions, but that's really not the same thing...
I think the extremely low prices are mostly for fallow crops like daikon, but I've also seen navel oranges close to it at 8lbs for a dollar, albeit infrequently, which is probably oversupply from some other seller.

I'll also see rotten/moldy berries I wouldn't pay a penny for, so it's very YMMV.

Edit - The least expensive produce right now is celery at 20 cents pretty pound.
I like Preppies. I don't know where to get them for $4 (open to suggestions), but I often want to try exotic inks with some pigment or sparkle or acrylic or acid (iron gall ink) or whatever that risks damaging a fountain pen. I'm fine if I neglect to clean it and it clogs the Preppy. Oops. Throw it away.
I used Rotato which is fantastic!

This depends on how lightweight are those chunks.

If you goal is <0.1 sec startup -- yeah, then you'll need WASM.

If you are OK with 1-5 second of startup, you have a ton of options. Apache Spark uses JVM magic to send out the the raw bytecode. You can start up docker container. If you are willing to rewrite stdio, you can exec machine code under seccomp/pledge.

There are even full-blown VM solutions -- Amazon Firecracker, which claims that: "Firecracker initiates user space or application code in as little as 125 ms and supports microVM creation rates of up to 150 microVMs per second per host."
I remember asking a similar question on HN a while back. The response was that 2D graphics, UIs in particular, are mostly computed on the CPU. I have no idea why this is the case, though.
So from my original response - if you find yourself bending backwards to justify violating civilians first amendment rights, getting called a fascist is an appropriate label.
It may be fun for the company's engineers but it's also incredibly effective developer envagelism / marketing for a company like Twilio that targets a developer audience. Microsoft has always done a good job of this on their developer side, which is pretty impressive based on their size and long life.
There are an increasing number of streaming independent journalists (at least that’s what they claim) that support themselves through patreon. These small ops can often go into excruciating detail on their pet subject matter and follow the story rather than construct a narrative. They often tend to go back and correct themselves when new information is discovered - something MSM is loathe to do (where’s the corrections on collaboration/cooperation now that we know the basis for all the noise was campaign financed muck?)
