Well, if you care about register pressure you’ll only be saving at most one register, since you can just do a shl/add sequence into that to grab the address, and you can save even that if you’re willing to clobber one of your input registers when generating the address, or you want a load into a register from that address later. So I thought that the real reason it existed was that it saved you from the data dependency you’ve just created if you used the technique described above, plus you have that extra lea execution port/low uop unit or whatever that modern Intel processors have these days for doing this. Plus I guess you save a bit on decoding and code size too.
Great app, congrats on launching. Usability and User focus 10/10. How secure is this app? Care to let us in on the specifics?
Most people will use the decoder in their browser, while the encoding environment will be much more diverse.
Well, he's absolutely right. MapReduce apparently didn't last that long at Google — it's long been supplanted by other technologies internally.
Serverless has been around for many years now.

It doesn't require a new kind of software engineer. It's just another software architecture to go alongside micro services, containerisation etc.

And it hasn't changed the world because (a) it's the ultimate form of vendor lock in and (b) it makes even simple apps much more complex to reason about and manage.
Notable update re: the headline

> EDIT: With further testing (report from u/DJB719), it appears that the one sample of failure from T-Mobile iPhone to T-Mobile Android may be a fluke, meaning the only reproducible errors are from T-Mobile to Verizon. That suggests that this issue could be an error on Verizon's end performing inbound message filtering from the T-Mobile network. If further results point in that direction, it may be worth having one of the Verizon subscribers call to speak with their tech support, as well.
Agreed. I haven't had a great deal of luck with hiring people from startup backgrounds. They often started butting heads with the team, losing interest early and clearly moonlighting on their next project. Often people like this would keep their business projects on social media but work for us under the radar. It felt like we were the distant 2nd choice as the employer.

I've hired lots of people like this who tended to leave or be managed out after 3-6 months.
Thank you!

Are any compute resources free?

It's telling that you've neglected your own labor in this assessment, and that of the other specialists required to get such ad-hoc compute working at scale (dynamic software networks, on-demand compute, provisioning/billing/monitoring apparatuses, etc...)

What plenty have realized in cloud-native approaches is that the TCO is pretty compelling, sometimes because its easier to distribute procurement/provisioning/billing to teams for their own resource needs, or just in sidestepping the inevitable bureaucracy when you try to centralize that decision-making.

Of course its different if you're talking hobby kit setups in our own homes, but if you're aiming at real scale for absurd parallelisms then that ship has sailed.

For some use cases the cost saving is a big deal e.g. resizing an incoming stream of images.

But for the majority of apps it doesn't save that much. And it still pales in comparison to the cost of the engineers. Which often spend significantly more time to build, debug, test etc a serverless app than one they just throw on an EC2 server.
The Potential of Animating with DeepFakes
I dont really understand your claim. You can send code to another computer and it can execute it and send it back. What is the problem?
Decoders are notoriously harder to support than encoders due to the various internal formats and encoding/decoding options. Until it supports all the different formats (a lot of effort), it will only be able to play back a few videos.

By focusing on an encoder (at least initially) you can just support a subset of features that work well for you. Then focus on making a decoder that can at least play back videos from your encoder.

More people will find it useful to have an encoder that works all the time, rather than a decoder that only works on a subset of videos.

Using selective words to further his argument is Taibbi’s shtick as that’s “old journalism “.

He’s railing against, ultimately, the evolution of information distribution.

He’s calling the media industry recent exclusion of one journalist the end times?

Go start a YouTube channel. Someone THAT good shouldn’t need a day job.

A hundred years ago most people were self employed.

This weird bubble of human history where we all got talked into working for “financially viable” tribes is deflating.

Taibbi is ultimately sticking with what he knows, being all alarmist the world is changing and not buying into what he thinks is important anymore. He doesn’t have the same monopoly on visibility.

The question isn't really x86 ( inclusive of every instruction currently on modern x86 ) vs ARM.

It is simply the business model changes. The older I get the more I am convinced it isn't the technical that changes or determines the outcome, it is the value proposition.

Not to mention no one "choose" x86. They chose Intel, or Intel CPU that still currently offer top performance under 10 - 16 Core.
Ironically that google link seems to be broken in Chrome, because it predates the time in 2018 when chrome intentionally broke most/all existing webaudio content.

(Ostensibly the change was meant to prevent pages from auto-playing sounds without user input, but in practice it broke pages regardless of whether they did so.)

Getting a faster CPU is about as difficult as getting more memory for almost everybody, because people need to buy new machines to do so. Either because they own a machine that can't be upgraded (hello soldered ram), or because they don't have the technical skills to do so.

Personally I'd rather wait longer for things to complete than have my whole system grind to a halt because it starts swapping like crazy.
Congrats on the launch, and you have an outstanding MVP here. I think it is priced well, considering that I would normally run something similar on a $5/month server for file syncing.

I'm a compulsive note-taker and frequent writer, so this is something I will personally be taking advantage of. The blogging feature is interesting, but I'm actually going to experiment with using it to replace my current use of Notes on iOS/Mac and Typora.

I'm curious if your development path includes Desktop. I've been between Ulysses and Typora for years now. Neither covers the entirety of my file syncing, desire to access from a browser or cross platform needs.

I really think you're on to something here. Best of luck!
There's a whole bunch of technical skills that Universities didn't teach when I was there. I would recommend reading The Pragmatic Programmers by David Thomas and Andrew Hunt to help with that.

Equally important are your soft skills. I would recommend reading The Hard Truth About Soft Skills: Workplace Lessons Smart People Wish They'd Learned Sooner by Peggy Klaus.
I’ve been thinking a lot about how humans evolved and how differently we do some things. Is there consensus on the eating patterns of prehistoric humans?

My understanding of how humans evolved to eat is pretty limited, but I would guess unintentional intermittent fasting would have been commonplace in humans over the past few hundred thousand years.

There seems to be consensus that eating a large variety of foods is great for you, but is shifting your eating pattern, or even grazing, better than eating at the same time, the same amount, every day?

Does your ancestral background impact how frequently you eat? Similar to how some cultures are lactose intolerant due to historically not having access to cows, could similar issues present based on how frequently we eat?

I’d love to find resources that have dug into those topics if anyone has recommendations.
How to Be Allies to Black People for Racial Justice
> Billionaires getting richer doesn't normally impact your ability to get richer.

I believe this is not true for multiple reasons.

First - regulatory capture. Once a sector of economy generates a handful of billionaires, legal / regulatory barriers go up which make it much harder for startups to compete.

Second - competitive barriers. Google can acquire all the search channels (eg. paying Apple and Mozilla billions of $$$ to be the default search engine on iOS / Firefox).

Third - price undercutting by subsidizing a subset of the incumbent's product portfolio by profits from other parts of the business. See: Amazon vs diapers.com.

So yes, the game is definitely rigged in favor of billionaires.
I'd never heard of BASB until this post, but it seems so much more useful than the usual type of content about "zettelkasten" and such. Those seem so focused on the mechanical actions you take and not enough on the steps towards getting value from your notes.

Is there a book form of BASB, or is it a course only?
You can build windows that have sound attenuation greater than common wall construction.

My office at home has a series of 62"x80" windows effectively forming the walls on two sides of four sides, and smaller windows covering on one side. I had the windows built as 3/16"-PVB_laminate-1/4"-1/2"_gap-1/4". The lamination and the different thicknesses detune the panes, and the large mass provides a lot of attenuation.

You can hardly hear someone standing outside yelling. People often comment how quiet it is after they step inside and close the door.

[It also helps that I don't have any computers in the room-- just display/keyboard and long fiber displayport cables to a rack in another room.]

These windows aren't particularly exotic... basically just the minimum you might to do design for a lot of attenuation.

Here is a comparison chart (from a quick google): http://girardglass.com/uploads/stc_rating_chart.pdf

Similarly for thermal insulating properties. Modern coatings can reject an enormous amount of heat-- enough that in some designs its preferable to us less effective coatings because the windows face the morning sun and the heat gain is beneficial.

Would love if it allowed comments, as I want to put ideas out there and see discussion. I understand if it’s not the experience that you’re going for though - a lot of the time comments aren’t simple/easy/minimalist/etc. Great product, love it!
Don't overcomplicate it. Xargs and curl is often enough to drive big, ad hoc jobs.
Capable C compilers have been around for a long time on PICs. I’ve only seen people using assembly for legacy systems that were already written that way.

That said I wouldn’t use one for a new product. I think they could still have a place in education because of the quality of their data sheets and their robustness. In grad school we had a graveyard of ARM chips but the PICs put up with a really surprising amount of abuse.
Failure is also an experience.
This is how Google Street view cars work too, because the sheer size of the high resolution photograpic data is so huge that it would make no sense to transmit it over a mobile network, vs just downloading it once the car finishes it's route.

IMO Rust's cognitive cost is paid upfront. Other popular languages shove that cognitive cost as technical debt into the future.

Hello!, yeah I don’t want to add comments not only for the complexity but also because they can be a little too toxic, and I want to create a great experience for the person reading, but also for the one writing. If I do comments, I would like to do it right, so might take some time.
Thanks! It's reassuring to consider that "Amusing Ourselves to Death" was written in the 1980s.

The comic doesn't address the ways to leave the system, however. Brave New World, as mentioned above, has its islands, and (not having read anything of 1984 beyond the Goldstein chapters: is there anything I don't already have from pop culture in the rest of the book, or are those chapters just the "fast-forward"?) it seems that Oceanic refuseniks who didn't wish to toe the party line could be ignored by joining the proletariat (which might imply material and intellectual poverty, but freedom's just another word...)

Really well put. Power changes your mindset in unpredictable ways. You can also find this phenomenon in people who've been CEOs who called all of their own shots for a long time. They can't go back to a more "normal" job.

When I'm hiring I absolutely love to see founder experience as it teaches so many valuable lessons and is usually a sign of an independent, self-starter personality. I do try to watch out for this "founder damage" (great term!) – some founders get to the point where they simply can't work for someone else ever again. Once I'm over that hurdle I consider it a major positive sign.

Congrats to the OP on their success so far as well!
> Skipping breakfast is a psychological trick

Perhaps, but for some people it's also a physiological risk. I eat about 1200 calories for breakfast as my body otherwise cannot function for the day.

Whether fasting is appropriate depends on one's body composition, daily exertion routine and physiological factors. For most people I'd recommend exercise instead of fasting.
Am I missing a point besides: Companies who have grown aggressively continue to looks for ways to grow aggressively, despite an economic downturn?
I’d like math symbols too. There are a few libraries that make it “easy” (though I understand it’s rare for a feature to be “easy”).
I can only speak to Frankfurt (am Main) and Munich, but particularly in the last week as weather has improved the general public’s concern towards the virus seems to be very low. Shopping areas are swamped with people, walking around in groups, queueing outside stores with very little regard for keeping even a polite distance from other people (even without a pandemic). Anecdotally, in a train Station on Friday I was waiting outside a bubble tea shop for around 10 minutes, and perhaps 5-10% of people were wearing masks properly (if at all) and even attempting to keep more than a metre distance from other people.

Bars and clubs have for some reason re-opened contrary to rules set by the local governments, I have seen 0 proactive or reactive enforcement of any rules by police or other authorities.

Some places are enforcing mask use, in supermarkets for example every customer is required to wear a mask and take a trolley to try and keep distance between customers, but the number of people wearing masks only over their mouths and leaving their noses exposed, or simply abandoning their trolley once inside and moving very close to other people is very high.

I suspect it was to do with ease of publishing content, which when the Web began was mostly text. If the web itself was also text then it becomes a simple matter to write documents in your editor and push it (with a little markup). Converting text content into bytecode describing layout would need a dedicated program instead of using any old text editor.

I don't think the creators of the web ever imagined how it would take off and the kind of scope-creep that would happen even in their wildest dreams. And now we're stuck with the existing formats because doing anything else will likely break billions of old websites out there.
The average overhead of a message send using the runtime Apple ships these days is insanely low; it’s on the order of approximately two nanoseconds a call. With some minor insight you can bring that down to well under a nanosecond, literally single-digit clock cycles, just by testing if indirection is necessary. (For reference, this is about on par with, or on days I’m feeling a bit confident even better than, a C++ virtual method call.) There is no way that Objective-C is hundreds of times slower than C++ unless there is something else going on.
I use PHP-Storm + Vagrant on Windows 10. There are plenty of pre-packaged Vagrant Boxes for this use case like VCCW [1] or Homestead [2]. Setup only takes a few minutes and you can keep your Windows 10 while using Ubuntu to run your PHP code.

np.sqrt(m.sum(m2))

It's been a long time since I've taken linear algebra, so I don't remember some of these operations.

Very minor bug report (which I don’t mind at all): during the signup process on mobile, I clicked “premium subscription” and then pressed the back button. The form was wiped, so I had to re-enter my info.

I imagine many people might give up after that, so I just wanted to mention it.

Another minor bug: when toggling private to public on mobile, the drop down menu doesn’t go away after you press public. It also blocks the save button, so it’s not entirely clear how to save. (I eventually figured it out.)
