I really enjoyed your introduction. For the HN readers who enjoy summaries in the comments, they open with a 10-12 sentence introduction, but the second sentence sets up the core philosophy and primary value proposition:

> Back in the early days of the web, when server-side rendering was still a thing, javascript was sprinkled here and there to make a few parts of your web app just a little bit smoother.

It's "built on top of Haskell and Nix."

The more detailed 20 minute introduction and documentation is located at: https://ihp.digitallyinduced.com/Guide/ I think the "recipes" section provides some illuminating examples.

The creators make the following claims about durability at the end of their introduction page:

> Lots of frameworks are already gone a year after launch. Especially in the fast moving JS world. But don't worry about IHP. We have been using it at digitally induced since 2017. It's actively used by us and our friends and partners. Even without external contributors we will build new features and do periodic maintenance releases in the future. We have big plans for IHP and as a profitable and independent software company we have the ability to actually execute them over the longterm.

I'm very skeptical of web frameworks / toolkits. While I only work on personal projects, I tend to try to use pure HTML first, then add CSS where needed, then add JS where needed, then add backend where needed - always striving to minimize the amount of the next layer. This project seems to be targeted to someone with my preferences.

I'll definitely be keeping an eye on it, and poking around with it.
Slate Star Codex is one of the most interesting blogs on the internet. If we doxx this voice, who do we doxx next?
think of the 'cold war'. it's always framed as a 'battle of good and evil' - this is the narrative. hopefully you might agree that the reality was far, far murkier than that - more senseless maiming and killing, so to speak.

unfortunately, as we see currently, simply dismantling narrative itself doesn't seem like a solution to anything, because narratives are more or less the very thing which have driven so much of our history.

you sort of touch on the vital task: making a satisfying story out of what we're going through. the challenge is always finding ways that this story won't justify or entrench shitty elements of society. (one might even say we are in the process of challenging a narrative concerning the role of police)

Transistors have been manufactured as a 3D structure for more than a decade and they have multiple dimensions. The idea behind process node naming was primarily about how big a planar transistor would have to be to provide the same transistor density. However, since vendors can slap whatever label they want on their process that's what they end up doing.

If you want to compare manufacturing processes then simply compare transistor densities. That way you will avoid the paradox of thinking that the physical limitations of an old transistor design apply to a chip that is using a completely different design. Here is a list of different possible designs [0].

I'm not really putting much on the table but journalist are in my low tier of respect, if there's any.

There's so many instances of abuse, lying and laziness that seems low standards are common through the profession and countries.

In general I tend to see them as activist, with very few exceptions of people that tries to approach truth.

Nowadays it really doesn't matter if they write for a local newspaper or WAPO, it's just so common that your default approach should be looking at every piece as propaganda.
I haven't seen any public discourse worth sharing with others online or on public television in my lifetime.

I'd argue that those who have a narrative worth sharing with the world that'd rival a book written thousands of years ago like Tao Te Ching, are an almost extinct species, numbering in the thousands, not millions, on this planet.

There have never been more highly specialized experts in narrow fields and never been so few human beings who can combine love, compassionate, understanding, ability to communicate and a willingness to fight for the future of our species.

I deleted my response because I've realized I can't even make sense of what the author was trying say, other than that he's discovered an analogy of database and the disorganized mess that is the internet. Yes, and what now? Now we have thousands of words explaining an analogy that leads to nowhere. Well, great - any fool can point out problems in the world and draw analogies, it's the solution that's the tricky bit.

A Bluetooth device is much more complex than the proprietary wireless devices. The complexity is largely because Bluetooth hardware must support many different types of devices all with differing requirements. A proprietary keyboard dongle doesn't have to be able to deal with the audio traffic coming from a microphone or going to a headset. Furthermore, it doesn't have to support proper identification and authorization of each individual device; many of them will accept input from any compatible keyboard that happens to be near by.
This is more of a function of the person's role than their individual contributions though.

A CEO's decisions generally have far wider-ranging impact than an individual contributor's, but it's not a directly productive impact in the literal production sense. The CEO didn't personally add those billions of value, they enabled others to add that value.

Ultimately, a CEO's decisions don't come out of a vacuum. The available options are created by ICs and percolate through management. The point of the CEO is to act as a sort of tie-breaker to ensure that decisions are actually made by choosing some of the options.

At least that's the case in large established companies. Obviously the dynamics are different in a small startup where the CEO is also the founder, but if the startup is successful it'll eventually transition to the "large established company" case, even if the founder stays on as CEO.
Family reunification is generally considered a right, not a privilege, at least in the "civilized world".

The US switched to acting stingy, mean, xenophobic, etc. a few decades ago. I'm not sure why, as it has about 1/9th the population density of an India.

One could wax philosophical about "the end of the west" and how the influx of immigrants was needed to colonize the land up to the Pacific Ocean and feed the factories of our vast manufacturing sector, and clearly those motives both dried up.

I'm not sure where the whole "punish immigrants and treat them like garbage" concept came from.

I may sound extreme to some folks, but having some experience as an immigrant FROM the USA moving TO Europe after significant time lived abroad (50+ countries in a decade) I can honestly say that no country on earth is currently more xenophobic and snobby.

Someone will probably flag me for promulgating such views but it's the inexorable conclusion I've come to given my experiences.
It's not a "custom". The reason keypads have letters is precisely because the letters are mnemonics for the real number. This usage predates mobile phones, and is not US-specific.

They were originally used for area codes (Wikipedia lists a UK example of 0AY6, ie 0296, for Aylesbury), then later for mnemonic numbers like the one from the article. Mobile phones inherited the lettered keypad from landlines and also started using it for typing text messages.
First fix the economic incentives. They are badly broken after the paper press lost to internet news.

You can't expect the journalists to uphold ethical standards when the market rewards garbage rage-inducing clickbait.
Switch your payment method to PayPal and then cancel from the PayPal side. I got burnt by trying to cancel the NYT a few years ago so I made sure not to give them any of my financial details this time around.

I decided to cancel last month due to the Tom Cotton Op-Ed and couldn't figure out an easy way to do it on-site so I just cancelled from the PayPal end. On a lark, I decided to try and cancel from the NYT end as well just to see how difficult it would be. I connected to the live chat and finally got connected to a representative after TWENTY FIVE HOURS on hold and was given 20 minutes to respond before being cut off.
The IL2CPP backend removes the need for the mono fork and is available in all modern compile targets. The Rosyln compiler also ensures unity's c# is quite modern and features such as C# 8 are on their way!

Tangentially, you can use C# 8 now, or even F# or VB in Unity if you choose to first compile them as a DLLs.
Yes, SVE, like the RISC-V vector extension, is a "real" vector ISA, with things like vector length register (no need for a scalar loop epilog), scatter/gather memory ops for sparse matrix work, mask registers for if-conversion, looser alignment requirements (no/less need for loop prologues).

That being said, apart from becoming wider, AVX-NNN has also gotten more "real" vector features with every generation. The difference might not be as huge anymore.
People weren't around or just don't remember Justin.TV, UStream and similar services.

As a former Counter-Strike 1.6 player in a decent level I do remember the transition from watching eSports on HLTV and other in-game broadcast solutions to watching on Justin.TV or UStream.

I think the major turning point was around 2011-2012 and my days of competitive gaming were way behind me at that point so being able to watch pros through a live videostream was quite exciting, now it's just a given but it's been brewing for the past 10-15 years.

It's almost funny how an apparent Chinese (sympathizer?) (check the activity) user below calls India a "semi Slavery society" with zero context about the country and even tries to hijack the present BLM in almost propaganda like move.

Now, facts. Upon independence, India's constitution was written by the constituent assembly presided over by an "untouchable". This constitution abolished discrimination on basis of caste, and as an affirmative action reserved seats in educational institutions and jobs in all state sponsored educational and public institutions.

This reservation system has rapidly been increasing over the years and now a staggering 60 - 70% of all positions are reserved today. What's more, the current Prime Minister of India and the President of India are from backward castes and scheduled caste respectively, and a majority of political parties and multiple Chief Ministers presently belong to traditionally backward castes. Even election constituencies are reserved, so that there is fixed amount of representation in the Lok Sabha and Rajya Sabha (lower and upper houses) no matter which government is in power.

The best any authoritarian regime can do right now is portray as propaganda that India is a "semi slavery society" which has no "liberal" shared values with the democracies in the West so everyone should shun it.

It's a standard divide and rule strategy.
I cant understand your comment unless you define partisan.

If the legslative branch deligates the rule making to the executive branch, then take it up with the legslative branch... right? Blaiming the executive branch seems pointless. Am I missing something?

The Constitution is the law of the land. Are you referring to the Magna Carta?

Humans have inalienable rights, can we agree?

I believe people have the inaleinable right to "Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness"... someone could call that a partisan policy objective.
When I first read it I thought about how hell experienced all the forms of government in the Republic with democracy leading to tyranny. Then a few years ago I started to reread it and couldn't find the pattern as though I made it up all those years ago. It was just that I was so sure something was some way and in the end it was just a hallucination.

There's a novel by Balzac (forgot which one), which shows the behind-the-scenes of mid-XIX century Paris journalism. It's essentially the same as you described, but also, the journalists don't flaunt their views, but rather their masters' (the owners of the papers).
Yeah, absolutely

I’m actually looking for something that does the mDNS registration for multiple back-end services (I did https://github.com/piku/avahi-aliases for announcing mDNS hostnames, which will go along nicely with this, but wanted an all-in-one or a Traefik/Caddy plugin that would do the registration itself).

A standards body maybe. But do you not see some ethical concerns of licensing that tells people how to conduct journalism? Freedom of the Press, but only for those who the governing body deems fit?

The whole point of a license is to reduce the gamut of people who can practice a profession to just those people who do it the way the license specifies. In a world such as ours, and a country such as the US, it will inevitably become the target of corruption and a position of immense power over the media. Even if it could be a good idea, I don't believe we live in a world where it would be executed in a way that maintains freedom of the press.

In media, ſ (long s) is often used to signify a heightened version of the American colonial and American Revolution periods.

The latter-day Futurama episode "All the Presidents' Heads" uses it as joke a couple times when they time-warp during the American Revolution.
But that's funny, as my mother immigrated from Europe in the 50's and the naturalization process was rather straightforward.

If you are referring to national immigration quotas then I agree that yes, it was quite unfair for awhile now.

It's just a bit odd. There wasn't even a hard physical border with Mexico until the 1920's.
There used to be a rather active workable "temporary farm worker visa" program that got sacrificed on the altar of pleasing xenophobic morons somewhere in the 70's or 80's I guess...

He's most likely aware that he can't handle that level of judgment. Lots of people can't! That's why he's elected not to become a public figure, and why it's so toxic for the NYT to try and make him one against his will.

This behaviour is very much not going to help. One of the many reasons doxxing is bad is because "speculation" is so often wrong. Anyway, it rather diminishes the force of an argument that the NYT is in the wrong if a mob publishes someone's name in a spasm of outrage over the fact that the NYT wanted to publish someone's name.
I mean, it looked awful compared to what I run on my PC, but considering as well that it was running using Rosetta I thought it was genuinely quite impressive.
Deepfakes of dead celebrities at almost zero cost? Surely the estates of said celebrities have (or will lobby to obtain) the rights to their likenesses?
I don't think it's about being murdered. There are very real, non-lethal consequences to writing certain uncomfortable opinions. Just having one's name attached to controversial articles, tweets and posts would be enough for some employers to think "nope, not worth the effort / PR hit" and not hire that person.

E.g. I have written a bunch of outlandish stuff in my comment history, and some of it would cause people a lot of offense. Enough for them to want to call my employer out of some motivation and escalate to some sort of public/twitter witch hunt. But I promise you, I am not a bad person, and would not hurt a fly. That is the part that's missing here. Reasonable, innocent people are potentially being treated as if they're inciting violence.
Mobile phones took this cue from telephones, which have had this kind of notion of an associated set of alphabetic characters since at least the eighties or nineties.
Stella's New Skills
I thought he was smarter than this. Of course talking to the press would put him in the spotlight and the press doesn't like pseudonyms (it might be accused of making it all up). Just suppress the narcissistic instincts and don't talk to the press if you like your privacy. As for the NYT's actions... It's as good as many other occasions to rethink one's attitude towards that paper.
Off topic,

Hard to say. newegg.com's parametric search had just two last time I checked. Each had half a dozen variants, but none of them had the combination of features that I wanted. One of them was marked as sold out. At the time, a Google search came up with an article with some information about three or four others, one of which I found had been discontinued. Maybe next year, if I still care.

Your missing the forest for the trees. Unionizing workers isn’t about everyone getting a penny more because they are organized. It’s about restoring power balance by organizing the many who contribute more than the few.

If you get everyone who contribute data to Facebook, google, twitter etc. organized, then you can do a hell of a lot more than just get a couple of dollars for each person. You might even get them to clean up major parts of their act. Because a threat of “tomorrow we will request GDPR removal of all content from 1million users unless you do x” is much more of a threat than #quitfacebook will ever be.
> feature shrinking may end around 2025 with an inability to go below 2nm

I feel like I've been seeing these "can't shrink further very soon" claims (including the claim of hard, insurmountable physical limits) for about as long as fusion was 20 years away.
I stopped trusting reporters about 35 years ago, when I personally witnessed an occurrence, where a reporter was at the scene, and later read what he had written about it in the newspaper.

It had practically nothing to do with what really happened, but was written in a way that most of their readers would most likely expect and endorse.

I was still very young then, but it opened my eyes, and from then on, I mostly stopped reading newspapers, and don't trust anything they write, without checking the facts.
> Any vaccine will not help significantly either as it has mutated many times and will continue to do so.

If the virus mutated as rapidly as you assume (I haven't seen any sources for this) there wouldn't be any natural herd immunity either.

There is no need to do that. As long as the reporter remains unnamed, for now, they can decide to either not publish the article, or not publish the name, and they will be able to go along with there life, without getting the negative backlash.

If they do dox the person, though, their name will be on the article, and you'll be able to find it.
They had to announce this early to allow developers to get ready. If they could have gotten away with not announcing early they would have. Obviously (if all apps would automatically run natively on ARM without any developer involvement) they would have first announced this with an actual new Mac.

That, however, was not an option. So they have to tread carefully in what they say and they also have to be a bit careful about showing off too much.

They only had to tout the benefits of ARM insofar as to placate the fears of consumers (their Rosetta story plus virtualization story helped there) and to provide some reasonable justification to actually make devs at least a bit excited, even though they have to do additional work.

Plus: No ARM Mac (except the transition kit) currently exists. It’s not even clear if the first Mac they will announce is even finished yet, if only internally. And even if it is finished: Do you think going on stage now and talking about a new MacBook Air that has twice the performance and 50% more battery life as the current MacBook Air – oh, and you can get one in December – would be a good idea?

This is Apple’s tightrope walk to avoid too much of an Osborne effect. I think they are ok with some Osborne effect (if only because they know that even if no one buys an Intel Mac ever again during the next two years transition time they will not go bankrupt, so far from it) but you don’t have to provoke one, right?

I expect plenty of numbers and comparisons when they introduce the actual first ARM Mac.
