I don't see why they would not have Tbps uplink.

ISP infrastructure is symmetric fiber. A single fiber can do 100 Gbps without troubles. And when you have to bulldozer the road to lay the fiber, you don't put a single fiber but a pack of a hundred. There is no crosstalk between fibers unlike with copper, so one has interest to put as many as possible.
I think that the face of computing would have changed quite dramatically if Intel had decided to make the x86 segment paragraph size 256 bytes (8 bits) instead of the useless 4 bits. Imagine not having a 640K (or 1MB) ceiling (without hacks like "expanded" or "extended" memory). It would not have been a big deal for Intel to do this; I'm pretty sure they could have multiplexed four more pins worth of address lines.

It would have given the x86 a native 24MB address space, equal to the 68000's physically provisioned 24 bits (which is all most 68K systems supported anyway, certainly the Atari ST and the Mac).

For instance, in the mid 80s, VisiCorp was trying really, really hard to fit their products into 640K. They had some whizzy stuff, but the address space problem pretty much killed them. Later, Microsoft and IBM came along, did the disgusting memory-space hacks that plagued users for a decade or more, and VisiCorp foundered.
I don't think that's a very realistic outlook. Most money spent in aws is not by noobs going over their free tier not realizing they could have bought a raspberry pi; it's by institutions that are paying for convenience and know it.

Ask HN: Worth Renewing Lease in the City?
Do you think it's worth renewing a lease in NYC with covid? I feel like it will come back in the fall and I'll be paying a ton to be in a concrete prison 24/7.
In Spain you can find everywhere "natural yogur", not sweetened, with "4 g sugars", I guess lactose, per 100 g, so 5 g per 125 g cup. Is this low-sugar by your standards or is it possible to achieve lower contents?
I for one am ready and rarin' to go for a housing market crash (or "correction" if you wanna call it that) here in NYC, and strongly encourage everyone who doesn't feel like living here to strike out for the heartland. It'll be a better city all around with fewer people and lower rents.
You don't need margin, you only need enough cash to cover the maximum loss, which is can be very small. e.g. right now if I wanted 3 put spreads on AMZN at 2640/2635 expiring this Friday, it would give me a net credit of about $2 per contract, or $600 credited to my account. My maximum loss would be 3 * 100 * (2640-2635) = $1500 minus the credit ($600) received, or $900. As long as I had a mere $900 in my account, this trade would be allowed.

If I held through expiration and the short leg (AMZN $2640) was assigned, I would be contractually obligated to buy 300 shares of Amazon at $2640 a piece. This would briefly reduce my buying power by -$792,000. But as I also hold a contract to sell 300 shares of Amazon at $2635 ($790,500), it would have a net cost of only $1,500. And since I already received $600 up front, it would be just $900 additional out of pocket. But for a period of time, my account balance would have displayed -$792k.

Do you find any problem with text being too small? I am typing this right now on a on a 30" 2560x1600 display which is right at 100dpi which I find is very readable. In the past I had tried 27" displays at 2560x1440 which has a dpi of 108 which made things just small enough to be hard to read. Obviously I could scale stuff in the OS, but that typically left me with some UI elements looking fuzzy/distorted. My ideal I think would be a 29" 5k monitor, so that probably is never going to happen.

It's only a job if you treat it like one.

But then again you most likely refuse to dress up for it, amiright?

And you'll throw every prevarication in the book at me as to why dressing up for work isn't necessary.

And I'll tell you that's employee mentality talking.

And you'll say but I'm an engineer.

And I'll say dressing up is fun, for children and adults alike

And you'll say fun has no place at a job.

And try as you might despite all of your engineer's training you won't be able to see there are more than three ways to frame any context.

CydeWays, I like you don't get me wrong.

We go about claiming that we're not saving lives and then we invest our entire existence on this earth towards things that aren't fun? We're going further than not saving lives bro, we're wasting lives.

Seems silly to discuss the falling rental prices in prestigious cities without even a nod to AirBNB.

AirBNB rentals have collapsed, and so a lot of owners have moved their properties into conventional long-term rental. This has created a glut in the rental market, and is driving prices down.

Take a look at the comment tree starting here in the Generics announcement thread from the other day for some discussion of Option[V] under the current proposal:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23545361

For what it worth, returning `(value, err)` is conceptually the same thing as returning a Result[V]. You can ignore the error case on a result / the None case on an option as easily as you ignore the `err` today.
Apparently this takes "2500-V100 days" which is an insane amount of resources for images of this resolution.

For context, this is equivalent to 100 $10,000 GPUs running for 25 days, 24/7.

You have to actually go through a short process to be "approved" to trade options, including checking off a box saying "I know how to trade options". Maybe there should be additional warning signs, but RH does make it pretty clear that there are many options trades where you can lose much much much more money than you put in. Just take a look at what happened with oil and USO recently for an example of how stupid this can get.

Like I said elsewhere, its horrible this kid killed himself over something as transient as this, and RH's interface is pretty dumb, but if you're selling uncovered put spreads, and covering them with call spreads and you're doing all of this in RH....well you're either much better at RH than I am, or much worse.
Rails on Digital Ocean Kubernetes as Heroku replacement
Personally I miss the dives, the open mic nights, the hole-in-the-wall restaurants that have been slowly getting replaced with gleaming Ikea-fever-dream "fast-casual artisan eateries" and the like.

Another linux+i3 user here, I've not tried 4k yet but you confirmed my suspicions.

I did a lot of research before buying an xps-13 and went with the 1080p version due to basically all the reasons you just stated + poor battery life and video performance.

I have hope for the future though... what would really make transitioning easier is a way to automatically upscale incompatible programs, even if it means nearest neighbor scaling at least it will make them usable on super hi-dpi monitors.

Anecdata here. I just rented out my house in Austin last week. We had 14 people vying to sign a lease, and several wanted to bid above the price we are renting for. The real sticker - 10/14 were moving from SF/LA/NY because they can now work from home. Our rent is above market in Austin, but way below what they are used to paying.

All that to say, you may see the opposite of a slowdown.
If we needed any more evidence the way to lower costs in the long term is building more housing. Supply and demand works people!
> Pretty much everything is politics these days. That's the unfortunate truth.

- Me riding bikes with my friends - Not politics.

- Organizing a game night - Not politics.

- My buddy getting a new car - Not politics.

- A friend getting engaged - Not politics.

etc etc etc...

There are million things in the world which are not politics. The whole reason I used to go to Facebook was to hang out virtually with my friends and keep up with what they are doing. Unless they are actually going to a political rally, that's not politics. And if they are, I care about that too because they are doing it.

The big problem with Facebook is at some point everyone collectively decided it is their own personal soapbox so now it's filled with everyone standing on their little podiums shouting their opinions about everything from facemasks to whether it's ok to shoot people in the back.

> I have come to peace that I'll text my friends directly and that's it. Once a month or so I log on to facebook and comment on personal updates.

This is exactly what I do, because when you text people directly they are thinking of you as you, not as their own personal soapbox.

Of course, this changes the threat model a bit, since it now needs collusion from a store employee.

for anyone who has been in Startup School and successfully gone through it, would you say it's best to have a Startup that is a "product" instead of say a service-type business?

For someone who uses the screen for 10-12 hours on a normal day, headaches induced by the eyes are my biggest worry.

I'm probably ignorant in this, but this program feels like normal venture capital with different branding.

Moonshots are very exciting but also have an incredibly low success rate. Investing in only five companies makes me believe that they're either setting themselves up for failure (unlikely bc these people are smart) or they're trying to fish for startup pitches with a different branding approach.

Especially in the context of Go that hasn't even managed to use anything other than parentheses in its func definition syntax. No language has saturated the bracket options that come with the standard US keyboard so much that it's worth bringing in characters that you need additional tooling to type.

Except this proves the opposite. When we built, prices skyrocketed. When we stopped building (due to COVID), the prices began dropping.

It's a combination of AirBNB being unable to illegally occupy housing, and the ultra-wealthy having a fear of urban density contagion. Demand is basically unchanged over the last 6 months, and the housing that exists is basically unchanged over the last 6 months, and yet prices are finally falling.

It's got basically nothing to do with "supply and demand" for cities (unless your definition of "demand" is so loose as to include literally anything that might impact a pricetag).
Generally this sounds like good progress!

>Under the agreement, all articles with a UC corresponding author published in more than 2,700 of Springer Nature’s journals will be open access by default, with the UC Libraries paying a portion of the open access fee on behalf of all authors. Authors without available research funds for the remainder of the publishing fee can request that the Library cover the entire amount. Authors may also choose to opt out of open access publishing if they wish.

However, this seems to be severely limiting. So basically all research projects have to redirect funds to cover part of the "open access fees" or they have the dubious option to "opt out". The library only being willing to pay on case-by-case base means that there will be hidden disincentives in place.

Essentially that means that projects that are not willing to pay money to SpringerNature will be at a disadvantage.

I wonder which mechanisms were implemented to prevent them from arbitrarily increasing open access fees? This is conspicuously absent from the article.
That's the spirit mihaaly. Now follow this line of reasoning a little deeper like good little knowledge worker my dearest colleague.
