Perhaps true, but a greater lust fills Apple with desire - the lust for control of their users. It has become increasingly hard to install software from your favorite vendor on the Mac. The advent of the Apple App Store for Mac sure looks like a play for a closed eco-system like they have with the iPhone. Moving to ARM will make the push to a closed eco-system that much easier, if not inevitable.

I'm a dev that work in OSS Machine Learning and rely on a machine that runs all this server tech. Even when I use Docker, it runs a hypervisor based VM - impossible with ARM which will need an emulated VM. This all makes ARM dev machine a non-starter. Add to this the crappy quality of the MacBook Pro (I am now 2 keyboard failures into the MBP) and I have to say goodbye to my otherwise beloved Mac.

Years back the Mac took over my area of development. I remember going to a MongoDB conference in 2011 and looking around to see nothing but Macs in the audience - I was a bit surprised to see such a huge shift a trend that has only accelerated (even with crappy MBPs). Now I wonder how many of those folks will opt-out of Macs until there is a huge demand for ARM servers.

Apple doesn't get to make this decision for me, the market for servers makes it. Until the market moves I need AMD64 + a `nix OS. Maybe a Dell laptop and Linux - oh well...

But i can't agree that the desire to gain wealth, recognition and power is a bad thing by itself, it only becomes a problem if someone doesn't understand that free and independent people living their and lives discovering new science will eventually give orders of magnitude more wealth and power to everyone than a conquerer ever can take by force.

The ESP32 API surface is huge, and the libraries have many configuration settings. Rust-ifying this is a huge endeavour. One way could be to just interface with the vendor HAL using Rust wrapper, but doing that in a safe way that respects the lifetime rules can't be easy? Also AFAIK some lower level radio APIs are locked and hidden behind a binary blob, so the ESP32 can't be misused as a jammer.

Its very tempting to try this due to the huge amount of resources the hardware has, but it is a huge amount of work. Just being able to access the registers isn't very valuable, the ESP is about Wifi, BT and I2S. If there are no ergonomic Rust APIs for those, why even bother?

How did the startup Zumper solve marketplace liquidity when it started?
Sure, but some comments on here are literally saying that. Not as a rule of thumb (although such comments can be found here too, which is ok), but as a "as an engineer I always enforce this rule" thing.
Fizzi actually left his job at smash.gg on November to focus solely on the rollback project. He has a Patreon [0], and the community has shown quite the support: he gained 1k patreons in the 24h following the release. Another main contributor, UnclePunch, who's written most of the ASM to directly interact with the game, also has some Patreon support. There's also other contributors working on their free time AFAIK.

[0]: I'm not affiliated with Fizzi but I'm not sure if sharing his patreon would be spam, so I'll say you can find it in the project website from my previous comment.
I consider the version control history to be part of the code.

I put docs into the source tree (sometimes in the form of comments; sometimes in dedicated doc files) for things that are suited to live next to the code, but often my commit messages contain more discussion of what used to be and why I chose a certain implementation approach.

I generally think that documentation in code should describe what the code does and why, and commit messages should describe why critical choices were made and how the new approach differs from previous behavior.

This assumes a good version control system that follows history across renames and moves etc., of course.

> Back in the days pre-Nehalem, the big eight socket 32-core servers were all the rage, but today not so much, and unless a company is willing to spend $250k+ (before support contracts or DRAM/NAND) on a single 8-socket system, it’s reserved for the big players in town. Today, those are the cloud providers.

SAP HANA is a major driver for single servers with the maximum number of cores and maximum memory per core that Intel supports. This is true for on-premise as well as Azure [1] and AWS [2] IaaS.

I think of it as commodity scale-up and the superior price-per-performance applies to any hybrid in-memory column store though HANA seems to be the only offering that exploits this approach. You can store a lot of data in 24 TB (or more) of in-memory compressed bitmap indexes.

>he is the best judge of that.

The jaded old fart SW dev in me tells you:

No, he most certainly isn't.
No kidding. Despite the HN posters saying it's "factual" this is likely just 4 socket systems tied together with an interconnect.

If intel is really going to market these type of systems, they need to be a LOT LOT more transparent on interconnect latency / memory management issues etc.

These headlines are almost always clickbait when you try to run high contention workloads on these supposedly massive systems.

What is the name of the interconnect approach being used here? That's what I want to know.
I think a Middle East expert with have said the invasion would very likely incite significant violence and economic harm. However, they would have also said a civil war in the next 20 years even without an invasion was also a significant probability. So, plotting out the number of excess deaths assuming a completely stable Iraq is overly optimistic thinking.

As external observers it’s easy to think of Iraq as a horrific civil war. Yet, it maintained positive population growth so that’s not what happened. It’s more accurate to consider things in terms of Mexican gangs and lack of social order than civil unrest.
You also have to take in account the rate of compliance to the law by Uighurs. If they're strongly religious and fiercely determined to keep their traditions, I guess they might also be much less compliant than the rest of the population, and therefore subject to more widespread repression.

People like to pretend that protectionism is such a bad thing. But Western nations built themselves through protectionism, it's something China has been doing to great success and the Asian tiger economies (primarily South Korea) did as well. After all, there's only so much you can do for your population if you never ensure a steady supply of high quality jobs that provide a path into the middle class, and you don't protect fledgling industries (beyond basic commodities) that are necessary to create these jobs but can't compete properly against well-established companies elsewhere. It's one of the great neoliberal myths that they've so successfully perpetuated (primarily through institutions like the IMF and the World Bank) that free trade and vicious, expansive privatization is the only right path.

I'm not a great fan of capitalism, but really my favourite thing about it is the seeming inability of commercial players to surveil. I don't like the idea of building in the price of content as being nothing - I want to donate to bloggers etc.

A way around this is to mix gemini and http in a single browser. Only one can be rendered on a page, but they can link to one another, with a warning when you transition between the two. So blogs could have a donate button that just hits paypal etc.

> If your code changes why would you leave outdated and misleading comments?

The point is that the code might not change. When you wrote it, maybe it was to cover use cases A and B. Sometime later, a new use case ”C” is added to the requirements, and this particular part of the code happens to already support C without making any changes.

Now, further down the line, some developer comes along to work on this code. If there’s a comment saying ”this code was written to support use cases A and B”, the developer will likely not take C into consideration when making their changes, and risk subtly breaking things.

Bieng able to declare variables after statements in a function is huge, letting you make them const as needed.

Also declaring the index variable in a for loop like for(int i =0; i < 10; i++) is extremely helpful.

Those two alone are extremely beneficial.

> Why telemetry at all? I don't expect a programming language to have telemetry as an default feature.

That expectation is incorrect if you’ve ever used a package server or pulled packages from some website including Github (for ANY language). HTTP requests do communicate your IP address, and it is standard practice to store them and use them for analytics.

By default a squash would collect all commit messages.

Also, I agree with aeontech that artificially mandating PRs to be squashed is very counter productive and often hinders bisect. Large features should be implemented in atomic units as a series of commits.

You seem to misunderstand my comment. My point was that the West only fought a war with Germany because they invaded Poland and other neighboring countries. Had the Nazis not done that, the West would most likely not have fought them, even if the concentration camps had come to light.

Your post is a perfect example of why I think it's a bad idea to have a default. There is a lot of debate over which translations are the most valuable and very little concensus. A lot of organized denominations still lean heavily on KJV, regardless of its relative accuracy. A lot of them take strong opposition to KJV. Even if we all agreed KJV was bad, what do we use instead? NIV? ASV? WEB? There is no sensible default.

Besides, just as a verse is part of a book, so is a book part of a translation. It makes as much sense to declare which bible to query a verse from as it does to declare which book or verses to query for.
Seems meant to prop up an incumbent business network when it can no longer compete with newcomers.
I think the issue with comments is that they lose all temporal and situational context. You see a comment next to code, but you have no idea if it's actually still addressing that piece of code. How out of date is that comment? Nobody knows. But if you look at the git history of all the edits specific to a part of code, you'll have a full view of what happened and why and by whom. I think the big issue is that programmers aren't taught to properly leverage git in this holistic way - instead it's just "version control", when it can be such a crucial and informative and helpful part of a process around documentation, writing good code and working in a team.

Yep. I actually think PR squashing should be something you ask of someone else when they don’t take the time to clean up their commit history. If they don’t have the discipline to do it then one big sloppy commit is better than 25... I rarely squash my PRs because I always take the time to provide meaningful context surrounding my work.
My reply was refuting your claim that hydrogen storage was cheap. Now you're going off on a tangent about short term vs. long term storage and ignoring the central point of my previous comment: the cost estimates for hydrogen storage are nowhere near cheap.

> Yes, the cost to store hydrogen for LONG TERM STORAGE is higher than the cost to store electricity in batteries for SHORT TERM STORAGE. But the cost to store hydrogen for long term storage is LOWER than the cost to store electricity in batteries for the long term.

> If you are comparing batteries short term with hydrogen long term, you are comparing apples and oranges.

I'm not comparing anything. I'm providing a source on the cost of hydrogen storage, to refute your unsubstantiated claim that hydrogen storage is cheap.

And as it turns out this cost is extremely expensive, regardless of whether it's used for short term or long term storage.

> Your study does NOT say batteries are cheaper than hydrogen for long term storage. They could not possibly be cheaper for that, since there are too few charge/discharge cycles to amortize the batteries' very high cost per kWh of capacity.

Correct, this study is about the cost of hydrogen not a comparison versus batteries. And for the second time, nowhere did I compare hydrogen against batteries. My reply doesn't even mention batteries once.

All I used this study for was tho find an estimate for the cost of hydrogen storage. And that cost is $1,400 per kilowatt hour per year for normal estimates and $800 per kilowatt hour per year for optimistic estimates. This is incredibly expensive, contrary to your claim that the cost of hydrogen storage is "so damn low".

> You seem to be saying "just use short term storage!". But that's not a legitimate approach, since there are long term variations in supply and demand. Short term storage only applies to short term variations.

The point is that it's extremely expensive, and not a viable solution for any type of storage. Short term or long term. The cost per kilowatt hour of storage is just way too high to be viable. $800 per kilowatt hour per year for the optimistic estimates, and $1,400 for realistic estimates is insanely expensive. And again this is assuming that the electricity provided to convert water to hydrogen is free.

In what world is $800 to $1,400 per kilowatt hour per year, "so damn cheap"? For hydrogen to achieve even just 1 day's worth of energy storage for the USA (11.5 TWh daily usage) at a cost of $800 per kilowatt hour per year would cost $9 trillion dollars per year. And remember, that's the optimistic estimate and assuming that the energy used to produce hydrogen is free.

This isn't about short term vs long term storage. Hydrogen storage is incredibly expensive, it's not "so damn cheap".
