Thanks for the thoughtful reply and kicking off a great discussion about gits strong points and pain points. I see too many discussions that are just “fans” who seem to think Linus/Linux can do no wrong, without acknowledging what Linux development is, and how probably 99% of us will never be there, but still live w the pain points. Like suffering through supercar gas mileage and repair costs for a commuter/grocery-getter, but “McLaren can’t be wrong, can they?”
Specifically that the RCMP also runs FINTRAC, and when they’re paying CIs and agents, they let their buddies in FINTRAC know ahead of time so that the transactions can be processed manually.
> You typically need a human to rewrite SSE, AVX [...] so that performance stays competitive.

Not true. As I commented a few days ago: There is sse2neon https://github.com/jratcliff63367/sse2neon. For intrinsics it supports, you only need to add a header to automatically map SSE intrinsics to NEON. There is also simde https://github.com/nemequ/simde. It is a larger project and may be more complete. These projects are still immature for sure, but when arm mac becomes a real thing, we will see better libraries that support SIMDs over different architectures.
True, but i have trouble seeing that as something worthy of international espionage
Which is the right way to go about it, especially when Vulkan is still in the process of being adopted. Make it right; then make it fast.
Windows may support ARM. Yet the reason most people want Windows is compatibility. And if Windows ARM doesn't run most of their software then it's a step backward for them.
> It’s definitely about vowel sounds

Exactly, and Nvidia begins with an e sound.

And we say "a union" because it begins with a y sound and not because it begins with the letter u.

In the UK, people do say "a herb", but that's because we pronounce the h: https://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/herb#Pronunciation

"Nothing, absolutely nothing". "normal words without any racial connotation". That's untrue, isn't it? Perhaps you just need a better dictionary.

ECS control planes cost nothing.

If you're actually looking to build isolation in AWS then you're going to need EC2 dedicated for your EKS member hosts. So you're not getting isolation for $200/month (I'd have to spec it out but dedicated hosts are pricey to the point that it'd be competing with physical hardware in a colo).

That $200/month for not-really-isolated is also per plane. So if you want a separate staging environment it's another $200/month. Client API sandbox? Same thing. It's wack.
>There is no way to 'push a new version of TCP'

Yes there is.

TCP has a variable options range of up to 320 bits starting at the 20th octet to handle exactly feature extensions (This is exactly how Multi-Path TCP is implemented). There are also 3 reserved bits set for future use (13th octet), which can also form the basis of even larger extended option ranges for stuff like TLS negotiation.
Wouldnt an easier solution be to keep the sha-1 to work exactly as is, but add additional hashes to verify the files havent been maliciously modified to keep the same hash. It seems almost impossible to craft a file that has different hashing algorithms equal the same thing. Assuming older versions dont explode when new data is added, it should stay backwards compatible.

The sha-1 and short hashes would be the name that is displayed and used for checking out commits, but not relied upon for security.
I wish more people would adopt (and better formalize) multihash and related projects https://github.com/multiformats/multihash

It’s a really simple good idea that has developed in the ipfs world.

That was my point as well, if you aren't working on anything that requires power you don't need a "working machine"

I'm not the one putting hundreds of ML/AI models in production

Even if you're developing puzzle games for low level Android phones an i5 is not enough

You can not believe it, but it's the truth

> Can you define to me what real work is?

Of course I can, even though you can't define what it is that can be done with a baseline i5 that qualifies as "real work"

A typical dev will do some, all, or more than these things

- open up an editor, with multiple files open, with integrated language server, linter/formatter, background error checker

- open up an ide, jetbrains, Android studio, Xcode, on a middle sized project, with a few tens dependencies and start working on it

- launch a maven/gradle compile

- launch a docker build

- launch a docker-compose up with a main application and 2 or 3 services (DB, redis, API backend)

- launch the training on any of the ml/ai framework available. Of course you'll launch it on a very limited subset, it's gonna be slow anyway

- process gigabytes (not even in the tens of gigabytes) of data

- on my i3 even apt upgrade is slow. That's why I use it as a media player and not as work machine.
How does this align with expectations, meaning more or fewer X-ray sources? What's the biggest "Holy -----!" moment after viewing the results? (Other than the fact that after 182 days of data collection you produced this astonishing map!)

"Why would he take a map?"

This is like asking why a parachuter would need to bother to pack their shoot correctly before going on a jump.

Or why a race car driver would bother to wear a seat belt.

'Having a map' might be the #1 thing he could do to ensure his survival, as he probably would have been able to walk out were he to have done this.

He apparently was not suicidal, and probably didn't intend on dying. His 'preparations' were not really 'preparations' so much as they were the actions of a stupid, glib or over-confident fool thinking that he was prepared.

He literally turned down the offer of 'reasonable gear' from someone thinking that he wanted to have a more 'natural experience'.

"Hey maybe you ought to wear a seatbelt of you're going to go for the land speed record"

"No thanks, I'm good, I want it to be more 'natural'"

This is the framing point of stupidity: mountain climbers, BASE jumpers, race car drivers take risks of course, but they're not stupid about it. The risks make sense in the context of what they are doing.

This is not the story of a man seeking enlightenment, it's about an otherwise entitled moron (not many kids have big college funds to 'give away') who stupidly and unnecessarily died.

"Let's give away money and go play on the highway" is what the book should have been called.
Ask HN: How do I get the spark back for working with computers?
When I was a teenager I used to be obsessed with computers. I installed Ubuntu on my laptop and would tinker with it endlessly and was willing to suffer through any lack of compatibility though sheer passion for learning more.

I would read those big books that go through all the Linux commands and configurations for hours straight, and retain most of it.

Coding, while something at first I struggled with, I could also do for hours because every new thing I learned about it was exciting and helped make what I was doing feel more real.
Sometime around College, I think that spark I felt left. Coding started feeling like a chore. Classes were hard, and weren’t really project based, just academic with maybe some short labs.

I tried to push through this, since I figured “of course I don’t like this now, college makes it feel like work” but figured that once I was a professional, it would go back to being joyful.

I worked at a few local startups in college to help pay for school and those varied from exciting to demoralizing (it was my first job after all) to just stressful (one had a pretty toxic culture. It was like nobody wanted to be there with each other around).

After college, I worked in a different field for a few months to see if I was more passionate about something non-technical and it turned out I hated that as well.

So I went back to coding, but the spark I had as a teenager just never came back.

Now in my head of course I want to be the guy who can go deep on a code base and find something wrong, or of course I want to read books on things I think are exciting like cryptography, or Linux. But when I do those things now, they feel like a chore. Reading takes a while, I recall less than before, learning a new language isn’t exciting, it’s tedious.

How do I get that excitement back? I _loved_ computers. I still in my head love them too. But the practice of that love now just feel like work, and that kills me inside.
Ask HN: Technical Programming/Science Podcasts?
Hey HN!

I would like to get into podcasts, and would be super interested in ones themed around programming and science.

However, everytime I do manage to find a podcast (on python or physics etc.) They always tend to be for the layman. I'd love a podcast for instance about python where each podcast was about very advanced programming topics or maybe highlighting a different library each podcast and discussing quirks and best practices. I just can't seem the find anything suitably technical, which makes sense since the medium isnt exactly great for it, but I'm sure there is some out there and I bet you guys know about them.

Feel free to plug your own technical/science podcast here, I'd love to listen!

UPDATE - mine fault. CPU doesn't have AES instructions!

Actually it is.

For example some RPi CPUs have AES acceleration instructions built similar as AES-NI on x86. But due firmware limit we can't use them.

Probably it's licensing and pricing issue...
This is a very good point. If we extend this to the extreme, lets say only 1 person has 99% of the wealth. The whole economic system will only produce goods that are required by that 1 person and their close associates.

Historically, that was a monarch and that led to things like French revolution. I think the US needs one now.
The example works even if the rapist has been convicted and is now in prison and Mary is no longer being raped. She deserves access to an evidence-based therapy such as EMDR, and she's not getting that because (in the UK) Government thinks mindfulness in schools is equivalent.
No, he announced that anyone wishing to be released from an NDA could contact the company “and they’ll be given a release”. He very explicitly did not give a blanket release, and we have no way of knowing whether anyone requested but was not actually granted one, because they would remain under an NDA.

(He also deleted the statement as soon as he dropped out of the race, so I have to link to Wayback Machine.)

Yes, that's what it is. Although the 'competitive' meta would be limitied to the adaptations of the top players.

The concept is common enough in gaming culture that they popularized a name for it.
> And it’s not like these rule give me more security, provide for the stability of the platform, or help me in any indirect ways.

In the case of Amazon, probably not. In the case of nearly all other apps, they definitely do. Having every fly-by-night game accepting credit cards to buy more tokens or whatever would be a usability and security nightmare. Even respectable apps I don’t want to give my credit card info to: I let Apple sit in the middle, handle security, and provide me a place to cancel with one tap.

I understand why companies, especially big and responsible ones like Amazon or Basecamp, don’t want to use IAP. But a free-for-all would be terrible for iOS users.
TCP/IP Illustated Volume 1: The Protocols by W. R. Stevens is the classic textbook and a great place to start off. You can then read the IETF RFCs, which are usually well written and completely readable to anybody with a computing background.
I know this is nitpicky, but I feel like this is the first maze game, and it's a different (related, definitely a predecessor) genre to the first-person shooter. The big distinction in my mind is that a maze game locks the player into a fixed position and view in the maze and movement is made by advancing along this grid, while an FPS allows for free roaming. Maze games, while earlier than FPSs, and definitely an influence, went an entirely different direction, and remain a parallel genre to the FPS genre (see Legend of Grimrock).

I think it's as important a distinction as other first-person genres like in-the-car driving game, in-the-cockpit space shooter, and flight simulators -- which are also not in the FPS genre, but feature things like a first-person perspective.

Maze games also consist of your normal first-person dungeon crawler (lots and lots of D&D type games), MIDI maze and so on. Just like the distinction we make in genres between FPSs and Third Person Shooters (Tomb Raider, etc.). There's also a Third Person maze games (Xybots).

I'm not entirely sure what the first FPS was, but somebody else here mentioned the Eidolon, that might be it. It most definitely wasn't Wolfenstein 3D (id even had an earlier games: Hovertank 3D and Catacomb 3D).

> But then Apple is still drowning in cash and immediate term savings really aren't much of a motivator.

Why would you think so? Apple is a for profit company. Apple consistently makes more than 35% or so in margins. Why wouldn’t it make sense to increase that wherever possible (to increase profits or offset some discounted pricing it’s offering elsewhere, like a free one year subscription to Apple TV+ on purchasing a new device)? Also consider the impact of COVID-19 for the next one year or so.
It 'proves' that narratives can be created out of anything.

It 'proves' that an idiot, thinking he was taking 'basic precautions', but really was taking none at all, walked blindly to his own death, can be twisted by authors and narrative makes into some kind of 'insightful' story.

It 'proves' that populism is for fools who can't take the time to just see what is in front of them.

That is in fact the solution Apple offers, all apps must offer purchases via Apple Pay. Except the fee is 30% and not 6%, and there lies the problem.
If anyone from Google YT is reading this : when is this ridiculous system going to change?

On a similar note : Why is it so hard to license music for small use, especially if you are willing to pay for small audiences use / non-commercial use?
This is painting a false picture. I don’t see people being mad this was fixed. What I do see are people pointing out how quickly Google fixes this while other long term issues, not just on YouTube but in Google’s entire ecosystem, appear to be ignored. Only the issues that impact revenue are ever promptly addressed by YouTube.

For example, to add to the growing list in this thread, here’s my pet peeve: it’s been 4+ years since YouTube removed subscription collections and publicly promised a better replacement.[1] What’s the progress on that?

Hey!

I just signed up to check out your web app! It looks nice, and I have a couple of feedback notes:

- Didn't look in to this, but when I input the verification code, LastPass popped up an alert that there was a non-secure web form submission. In this case it is of pretty small consequence, but that's probably not great for a first-time user to see during the registration process. The login form appears every time I reload the page, and I'm presented with the same non-secure form submission dialog.

Actual App Feedback:

- On the first welcome screen, there is probably some UI/UX Room for improvement. Remove the initial back button, colored buttons for next/close, Escape key has weird behavior.

- Welcome screen is fine, but I've seen some tutorial stuff that will step through by highlighting the actual items on the page.

- The Help button in Safari takes you to a new page, links inside take you to new pages, which makes going back to the game a hassle. Same for support. These are very different from Game Settings and should be visually differentiated.

- On the first Welcome screen, I would present the user with a quick start button. This should automatically configure the hand and everything so that the user could get an idea of the app without digging through settings first.

- Player cards should be at the bottom.

- There should be options to actually draw cards. Maybe I'm missing something, but instead of me selecting what cards I have and what cards the community cards have, let the app pick cards for you. Then the player can learn while actually playing.

- For Card Selection, have the card value as a selection, and then a dropdown below with the suit selection. This dropdown could be always visible or toggled by clicking the card value.

- Get some art for card backs/fronts! Obviously not necessary at this stage. Table Art? Get some felt!

- Might need to iterate on the "Evaluate". This could be a button on the table. I would treat it as a toggle, and have the information always available. Users could select what information to keep pinned.

- Show the other players, even if they're smaller cards. Hovering over cards should let you see possible cards.

- Button tooltips.

- I can have 22 opponents?

I know a lot of this is polish work that isn't necessary at the moment, but I wanted to call it out anyway for reference. I do think this is a great idea and hopefully I can learn to play poker by the cards instead of looking at my friends faces and guessing what they're thinking!
I meant that the whole thing of relating the name "Raam" to the Hindu god is a stretch.

GM named a pickup truck the Ram (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ram_pickup).

There is a range of phone/tablet mounts named Ram (https://www.rammount.com/)

There is a DC comics villain named Lady Shiva.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lady_Shiva

Then there is Sheeva from Mortal Kombat. Skimpily dressed and admittedly also pretty ugly but that is subjective. Her attire would possibly hurt the sentiments of some devout Hindu with a conservative mindsets.
https://mortalkombat.fandom.com/wiki/Sheeva/Gallery

Should they all be renamed to not offend religious sentiments as well?

It is one thing if the character in question had some resemblance to the religious figure and had subtle intentional similarities either in back-story or appearance or abilities but made to look grotesque. Otherwise this is just looking for a controversy for its own sake, IMHO.

Good luck with your crusade!

I want an e-ink web browsing tablet.

I want to be able to go to nytimes.com, or Vox, or Hacker News, and read the articles and comment threads on a high-contrast screen that doesn't hurt my eyes. I don't want to use some read-later service that sends specific articles to my e-reader, I want to just navigate to the sites directly. There would be trade-offs for sure, but it seems like the benefits would outweigh the downsides.

My big issue with it is the underlying complexity and house of cards nature of running your control plane as sidecar containers on your runtime infrastructure.

You CAN set it up and run the control plane out of band, but last I looked there wasn't step by step documentation for doing so. I also couldn't find anyone doing it in prod which to me is a nonstarter. If I can't figure it out myself and can't hire for it I'm not doing it.

Ask HN: Why can't we solve the app store monopoly problem?
For the longest time, application distribution has been generally a sport for big companies like Apple and Google. Why hasn't there been enough innovation in terms of creating alternatives despite a healthy improvement of web application distribution like PWAs(Progressive Web Apps). WeChat uses microapps that help users access a lot of other mobile applications. Some interesting innovation might be Dapps inside the Coinbase Wallet or Status IM. What are some reasons it is futile to take on this marketplace.

To be cheeky, I didn't see any real food in the picture nor the article. My fruit and vegetables aren't getting any smaller.

Frankly, given the problems with health, diet, and obesity in most of the world, anything that makes more nutritional food compete easier with packaged food seems like a good thing. Like "packaged food is ripping us off" would be an excellent meme if it took any real hold. We're dying.

I watched a video that compared the food we have in our convenience stores to what they have in Japan (fresh soups, vegetables, fish) and it really opened my eyes about how our lives/health could be, and how effortless healthy choices could be. Until then, the only thing perishable at my local 7/11 is a mealy saran wrapped apple and it has to somehow compete with all the tastier packaged food.
