I feel like the new name doesn't reflect what this project is about. "Eclipse Adoptium" is too abstract, and sounds like a Eclipse feature. I think that just adding Eclipse as a prefix would have been easier.
Running a red light should be an automatic re-exam for your license. Not two weeks ago: I stop for a red, the guy behind me stops, the guy behind him overtakes both of us and nearly kills a cyclist that had started to move in front of me. A fraction of a second quicker response by the cyclist off the mark and he'd be dead.

I hate red light runners with a serious passion.
My mom grew up in Rhode Island and she pronounced cot/caught differently, but cot/cart the same.
That chart doesn't include Apple's implementations, but they were some of the relatively few non-Intel CPUs to be affected by Meltdown as well as Spectre.
>Furthermore I think that the reason people are being so careless online is because of the lack of consequences and thus no opportunity for learning.

If that were really true, then people would have "learned" in the Windows era. I don't think consumers actually directly suffer any consequences from having a hacked device, the problems are always third order. An open PC becomes a botnet to DDoS someone else. An unsuspecting employee uses a personal device to jump a corporate firewall. Credit Card fraud is routed through thousands of residential IPs.

The vast majority of us live in a country where toys inside chocolate is banned. I don't think you have a strong argument here.
Ok, how does exposure therapy actually work?

Wiki sez: "Exposure therapy is based on the principle of respondent conditioning often termed Pavlovian extinction.[16] The exposure therapist identifies the cognitions, emotions and physiological arousal that accompany a fear-inducing stimulus and then tries to break the pattern of escape that maintains the fear. This is done by exposing the patient to progressively stronger fear-inducing stimuli.[17] Fear is minimized at each of a series of steadily escalating steps or challenges (a hierarchy), which can be explicit ("static") or implicit ("dynamic" — see Method of Factors) until the fear is finally gone.[18] The patient is able to terminate the procedure at any time."

That is, to my interpretation, the idea is to expose the patient to the scary stimulus under conditions that are kept as nice, safe, and comfortable as possible, so that the Pavlovian part of their brain will learn to stop associating the stimulus with fear.

This is entirely different from "keep throwing them into the feared situation, against their will and without any particular effort to make it more safe or pleasant".

Beauty is always relative to the context, even outside videogames. That's why I disagree with the parent post you're replying to. Indy and the Fate of Atlantis is beautiful to me. Space Quest also is.

The other day I saw a comment on YouTube mentioning that the EGA (16 color) version of The Curse of Monkey Island looks better than the VGA (256 color) version, and I agree! Beauty to me is mastery of the art form within its limitations. The limitations often make better art (the quintessential example to me is how the original Star Wars looks better, for example in its minimalistic depiction of a barren Tatooine, than the remixes or the prequels; once George Lucas was free of technical and budget limitations, his "boundless" imagination turned out to be disappointing).

I even think some games look better in pixelated monochrome glory. Is it because I am an old fart? Maybe. But I'm not wrong, either.
Yep. For some metrics, we're killing it.

Others, we're really fucking up.

Genuine happiness/fulfilled-ness and creativity are some of those.
What's beautiful about the 11 Foot 8 bridge is that quietly it's been a constant in my life. I distinctly remember watching the videos over a decade ago on this YT Channel: https://www.youtube.com/user/yovo68

There's an element of schadenfreude that's so compelling in watching ordinary situations go terribly wrong.
That’s really cool. Is that a divided highway? How do the trucks back up and turn around there?
There are at least five signs at eye level on the road leading up to the bridge, four of which are the standard yellow warning signs: https://imgur.com/a/owITLZC

In addition, the illuminated "OVERHEIGHT MUST TURN" sign flashes to attract attention.

I get what you're trying to say, but this bridge is better-marked than the vast majority of road hazards one might encounter. There's a certain point beyond which it doesn't make sense to keep spending time and money protecting people from themselves.
>> I think it's best to not give the most neurotic, ill people of your community the loudest voice.

People say that it's the outliers but the reality is that in many cases, this is the silent majority driving the behavior.
LOL, how do you propose to fix the genes of a group if indeed it is found that their genes are the cause of their circumstances?

You have it backwards. The privileged are losing their privileges, and desperately seeking to find ways to justify why they should remain privileged. It is these people who desire to find evidence that proves their existing deeply-held belief that they're special, because "god" made them so and that others are genetically inferior.
I think the "a house is a machine for living" and "form follows function" are actually very good ways to explain these complex topics, but they are very open to a wide array of different interpretations, and it seems to me that the most jarring, abrasive, and otherwise ugly buildings are spawned from face-value interpretations of these mantras.

A house is a machine for living, not merely existing.

Form follows function, and that function is to get out of the way of the occupants and allow them to be happy and productive in the places they live and work.
> That's why simple, clear signage helps.

But the bridge is signed, isn't it?
Ask HN: Have you ever used “white text” in a resume to pass through filters?
How was your experience?
While the things pointed out in the article are true, I think all of those points are actually second to the fact that their engineers are top of the tops. I first learned about Figma from this blog post featured on HN, https://www.figma.com/blog/how-we-built-the-figma-plugin-sys.... I immediately thought how much I'd want to work there if I lived in the area.

The fact that a startup took so much time to build things with intention, the fact that they tried multiple, months-long paths before settling on a solution, and the technical details of their solution were so well thought out - I was incredibly impressed.

My point is you probably could have given the exact same business plan to 99 other companies, but without the engineering talent, and importantly the engineering culture, they would not have been nearly as successful.

Kudos to the whole Figma team, I'm envious of what you've built.
One thing I’ve learned over the years is that many people perceive:

- themselves as perfect but making the odd honest mistake every now and then

- others as fundamentally flawed, persistent rule-breakers who Need To Be Punished

Even if they’re broadly the same or worse. This is true on the road, in college or writing code. A lot of people will be unable to look at their own tiny little infractions and see them as equivalent to the flagrant disregard for the rules that they observe in others.
1 - I am the first one to complain about our broken hiring practices, but just because you get a first interview does not mean you are qualified for the job.

2/3/4 -> FAANG have a ton of money but no incentive at all to spend it on philanthropy. I wish it was not the case, but their only job is to make their investors happy.

3 - is it dishonest ? For sure there are some kids in SV, LA,etc that could work in tech if they got the education but the thing is, they didn't. Also, local talent is never going to compare to the global one.

I would love to see laws pushing FAANG and co to invest in philanthropic causes. Heck, I would not even mind if this was based on taxation. But cutting H1B is not going to solve any of these problems.
Well, my point there was that a 64-core CPU is not (significantly) higher performance than 64 single-core CPUs, so multi-core is - if a improvement at all - a price improvement, not a performance improvement, but fair point about the price-vs-area scaling.
"to wish that the average engineer would suddenly begin to care about using his work day productively."

I know no one likes to hear this but if you must pick a pronoun for a hypothetical "average" engineer you should use "they" or "she" to help readers be more mindful of the unconscious bias in our field.
> A brutalist skyscraper would look oppressive and imposing, towering above you like a Vogon ship about to demolish your planet to build a hyperspace lane.

This is kind of my point though - Nature is like that. A daunting slab of concrete has a lot in common with a cliff face. An empty, open expanse of concrete is like the rocky hillside. Both are more like "the world" than a regular repetition of patterns in brick rising to two storeys high set off with a tiled roof.

(Perhaps that's why they're offputting to people - too much like the unfiltered natural world, not enough comfortable regularisation.)

There's no equivalent of the forest (the default natural covering for most of the world) in any of these forms of architecture, but it's not like it's any worse in the Brutalist model.
FiraCode with ligatures is my favorite.
Because they're not used to driving trucks. Modern light weight cargo vehicles accelerate and brake as though they are personal cars. Spend an hour or two behind the wheel of one and you're liable to forget that you have this huge box behind you that extends well over the height of the cab, the part that is in your immediate field of view. It takes some serious situational awareness to keep that at the front of your thoughts when driving an unfamiliar vehicle on unfamiliar roads.

The basic assumption people make is that the roads they know or that are indicated by their navigator are the roads that they can drive on. I don't recall even if my navigator has a way of setting the vehicle height, I should check that.

C25K does not start with a marathon. Skiing lessons do not start on a black diamond. Intro CS does not start by writing an OS. Skill development is an incrementalist game for patient people. I've made much more progress by finding a sustainable pace and chipping away over time, than by trying to conquer something in a weekend.

Natural language acquisition is kind of a special case here, in that you are actually wired to do this one from scratch.
What do you mean by private?

I assume many people have sites for their small businesses. Imagine you have a restaurant, you want to be able to know how many people reach your site, how they reach it, why they don't contact you (do they leave after seeing the menu? or the opening times? or the location? or photos?), are your contact forms properly working, is your website loading fast enough, etc.
Every time I drive through that intersection I’m amazed when I remember how fast most of the trucks are going by the time they get to the bridge.
pprune.org is pretty big and international, also there is euroga.org in europe.
Yes, it's true ... Except, it's too late. Big socio-economical problems will arise soon, due to overpopulation.
You seem to be taking my statements to well past a good faith misinterpretation so I am not going to continue this further. There is no point discussing something when the other person doesn't respond to what you're saying but something completely different.
> You want to start running? Put on some shoes and go for a run.

I did that, went for a run every day, overexerted my ankle, couldn't walk normally for a week and couldn't run for weeks after that, and got out of the habit of running again for a very long time.

Your advice might work in specific cases for specific people, but for others it might be harmful. It is, in my opinion, not advice fit for "broadcast": you need to know the recipient and their situation to know whether the advice will not be harmful for them.

First example that pops into my mind to address your question:

Running builds muscle and improves balance (among other things). Many people late in life die from head injuries caused by falls. I have a better chance of living longer and healthier with a stronger body.

Possible solution to that problem:

Have a plugin which could turn the unfinished modal for example into a wireframe look & feel and then when you have the right icon, turn it off again.

I remember back in the days Expression Blend had some functionality to apply sketchy lines style (based on Bill Buxton's book - Sketching User Experiences).

Also, the prototyping functionality is still rather basic. Axure is much more powerful and ideal for the early sketching and testing phase.

But I'm sure Figma will have more sophisticated prototyping features in the future.
I don’t think it would work, text is text, but it’s an interesting idea! Someone should hire you for your ideas!
I think for your first point, you're definitely reading into it too much...

As for you second point, what kind of proof do you need? Do you want scientific studies that dive way too deep into specifics and are not applicable to real life? This article is targeted towards learning, which varies heavily from person to person and can be very subjective. Think about it from your perspective and see if the ideas apply to what you do. Simple as that.

For your third point, yeah sure real and fake are pretty subjective. In the end it's obviously up to you to decide or come to a decision about what is and what isn't. Our gut instinct usually fails here thought...

However, to address the point about learning Japanese, I would argue that taking the time to learn before doing so is the "fake" way. How do children learn a language if they can't use a computer or phone to get on Duolingo or go to a community college to take a course? They literally just are exposed to it and pick it up over time.

People may not know his background but he is a prominent figure when it comes to language learning and his strategies are to replicate natural learning methods and ignore the canned courses like Duolingo that don't do you any good...
One issue with using realistic mockups is that reviewers expect the actual product to match. Take the extreme case of Steve Jobs where he would compare Macromedia Director mockups down to the pixel with the actual products and complain if they weren't perfect.

Good question. Klinefelter syndrome often leads infertility so in terms of passing off your genes it is quite maladaptive. In term of general health outside of reproductive health, the conclusion is a maybe. I doubt there is much research into covid-19, although it would be interesting to read.
So why isn’t that an issue in the US where addresses are openly listed and homeowners aren’t harassed?
Good point. I actually added a sentence to that to clarify: I think this kind of social media only bolsters and broadly spreads (if not creates) that neuroticism and illness.

Frankly I just don't think we can handle social media. We're trying to do this whole technological civilization thing and we've made progress that is absolutely mind bending, but it wasn't long ago that we were using fur and bones and would only meet 100 people our entire life. And our brains are still there mentally, lagging behind the rest of our progress.
I wish I could find/found a sort of engineering collective, owned by the employees and with a focus on work/life balance to alleviate the meat grinder that is modern work. I’d be ok taking a pay cut.

> An open PC becomes a botnet to DDoS someone else

Make the originator of the traffic liable for any damages, all the way up to the ISP? There would be a lot more worry about malware if it could cause a lawsuit/police investigation that lasts for months, even if you eventually end up off the hook, and ISPs would be incentivized to kick off customers that can't be bothered to secure their devices.

> Credit Card fraud is routed through thousands of residential IPs.

If the original credit card owner was liable for the stolen money this would incentivize them to better protect it and prevent it from being compromised in the first place. Plus with the liability for malicious traffic there wouldn't be as many residential IPs to proxy it through.

Well the is true but how about chemicals, power tools, flammable gas canisters, etc? I agree that the ban on toys inside chocolate eggs is stupid but we're allowing much more dangerous things to be around and the world hasn't ended.
"Judge Lamberth wrote that if Mr. Bolton was dissatisfied with the delay, he could have sued the government instead of unilaterally publishing. He said Mr. Bolton had gambled and lost."

The judge is correct from a legal point of view. Totally understandable, that's his job. But the larger truth is that Bolton and his publisher decided that it was urgent that the public get the information in the memoir BEFORE the coming election. This is hardball politics in action.
Consultancy firms often have an offshore team in a lower cost country (India, Phillipines, Mexico). The consulting firm typically employs a few people in the US on H-1B visas, contracted to the client, for communication with the offshore team, onsite support for the client, and generally managing things.

But the client often has their own employees on H-1B visas as well. This is unrelated to either offshoring/consulting.

Eg. Take a company like Apple. Apple hires employees on H-1B visas and pays them well.

But also Apple uses consulting firms (both US-based and offshored) for specific projects/functions. These workers are not Apple employees. They are employees of the consulting company -- or in some cases, there is a chain of contracts where they are employed by one company, which contracts them out to a consulting firm, which then contracts them out to end client (Apple).
I love brutalism when it includes plantlife. Another example is the Barbican Estate in London. Without plant life though, I agree with the article, brutalism looks too bleak.

Even today I am forced to deploy TCP fallback pretty much everywhere, even with corporations "whitelist" us, mainly because they have many/many PoPs all over the world. There is no guarantee their system-wide policies is actually applied at a particular access point/ device for any number of reasons.

It is particularly worse in consulting industry, This is usually because their customer actually controls the network/infra for the teams working with them, usually that means a lot of fragmented IT managment.

This is from my experience deploying Flash / WebRTC stack video tools in Fortune 500/2000 type orgs in last 8-9 years. One of the main reasons we moved to WebRTC from Flash early on is because the heavy friction for deploying RTMP/RTMPS(E). I can count in one hand how many of them had sensible network polices.

You may had a good experience with network policies, many many large organizations still insist on IE11 and restricted networks world around, that is the sad reality .

As the resident Nim optimizer, if you can reach some performance in C, you can reach it in Nim.

With some work you can even reach the performance of code which is 95% assembly and has been tuned for years (i.e. matrix multiplication):

- Reaching C Quake code speed in Nim: https://forum.nim-lang.org/t/5124#32241

- Reaching and going beyond OpenBLAS + OpenMP performance (almost pure Assembly): https://github.com/mratsim/weave/issues/68#issuecomment-5717...

- Faster than C++ on Raytracing bench: https://github.com/mratsim/weave/tree/9f0c384f/demos/raytrac...

- Faster than C++ on another Raytracing implementation: https://github.com/mratsim/trace-of-radiance/tree/v0.2.0

Also Nim is easy to integrate with Intel VTune, Apple Instruments and perf. You have full control on the data layout, prefetching and the same control as C over cache and memory usage if you so wish it (i.e. the GC is not a hindrance, you have easy escape hatches).
