How is this moving below a post (on the front page) about MariaDB that's 14 hours old (versus 3 hours old), has fewer points, and many fewer comments?
Karma is just a counter in database. Hong Kongers do not afraid to face a death sentence for opposing the regime. Don't afraid to tell the truth, the worst may happen to you is a couple of downvotes by troll factory workers from Beijing.
Sure bully China some more. Today they're kicking out foreigners, tomorrow they will take Taiwan. No dobut. Just like the world stood by as Hong Kong fell, the same will happen with Taiwan. China is only testing the waters with Hong Kong.

That's what being tough is all about. Be careful what you wish for.

I don't think anyone is saying Rust is easy to learn. They're saying the complexity is justified (mostly).
Good point on reading may not be enrichment for her, thanks.
Agree with this. I think of education as a "series of increasingly smaller lies". If you try to explain everything right away with complete fine-grained truthfulness, you quickly get to molecular dynamics, and don't have to stop there.

A common unspoken theme in the post is, the art of learning is knowing "what" to care about and "when".
I wonder if Benny was a local Albanian. The fact that he spoke Albanian suggests that indeed he was. In that case his actual name would have been Beni (but pronounced Benny).
What do you think the conviction rates in western courts are? It's pretty close to 99% as well.

I don't think there's a time in living memory for most people on HN when China wasn't authoritarian. If anything, they've become more relaxed in the last 3 decades, but we're seeing them more recently re-exert authority.
I don't know Forth on the 6502 but I think the statement that STC is the fastest form of Forth is not always true. But it will lead to larger programs.
The ARM Surface Pro X took a sort of opposite approach to Apple in several ways.

Rosetta: usually recompiles once ahead of time, only supports 64-bit

Microsoft: seems to recompile on the fly, only supports 32-bit

Also notable is the fact that the leaked benchmarks show the A12Z is generally faster when emulating an Intel CPU with Rosetta 2, than the Surface Pro X is when running natively, and the A12Z isn’t even Apple’s real desktop cpu, it’s just what they had on hand from the iPad (!)
What's a good alternative architecture that promotes quality content/comments and prevents regression short of manual compilation, moderation and curation?

Edit: Jotting down some ideas:

1) Occlude/Delude/Fog-up the votes for newly created accounts. Mature accounts get to see gray posts.

2) Consesus amongst mature accounts has higher weight over newly created accounts.

3) Penalty for being flagged is higher for mature accounts as with power comes responsibility of good behavior.

4) Karma should have more meaning that just a tally of points. Upvoting costs Karma (-1 from balance). So, people are more careful and have to strongly agree to upvote. Probably some caveats and downsides here.

5) Buffer out the oscillations of upvotes/downvotes. Sort of like a mass-spring-damper system.

6) Hire moderators that are vetted and publicly funded by HN members.

7) Verified accounts with work email or some other means. These accounts would have the highest weight in anything they do.
I'm not particularly bearish on VR but it's clear that the technology is far, far more mature than anything in the 90s.

Hardware sales are anyhow not quite as important as the software that runs on the hardware. The console market might be small, but the gaming market is absolutely massive. Facebook doesn't have to make money off Oculus hardware of it can, like Sony and Microsoft, get people into the ecosystem where $60 games are the norm and microstransactions total billions in revenue.

> we now have produce shipped around the globe

That is in fact extremely efficient, as it allows to grow food in an industrial way: at scale, with optimal process and conditions.

> We used to die quickly at home when we were incurably sick

And also to remain sick forever when we were curably sick, for lack of cures. Amputated limbs for simple infections, lifelong toothaches, broken backs, skin, ear and eye infections, fleas, etc.

> to learn how to do a job, we'd talk to someone doing it and start working directly under them

Yes, sent as an apprentice at an artisan's shop, probably before age ten. Or working in the fields (all that nice ploughing, by hand) or just learning your father's trade.
The current administration could could care less about human rights. That's obviously not what I'm talking about.
She provided false statements and evidence to the US Government (and US banking entities) in order export US products to a sanctioned regime. All for a tidy profit.

So, while you're correct that she didn't commit a crime within the USA, she did commit one directly against US businesses and the US government.

As a non-American, I do find the extraterritoriality of US law very concerning, but I don't think this serves as a good example of overreach. She'd have been fine if she didn't enter a country with an extradition treaty with the US. That wasn't the smartest move.
It’s really nothing like that. It’s a short enough book so just read it.
China is a great place for manufacturing which is why it succeeded. But the next place has to be surely cheaper than china. The average salaries have increased in china, but African countries do have same advantages as China. The ideal mix as I proposed could be African Resources + Chinese Engineers + Scientists etc ...

More than my answers I think you need this http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Once you learn that google is one step away to find the answers to your questions.
How much of the improved efficiency is really ARM vs Intel and how much is that the new Apple silicon will now be TWO cycles ahead of Intel in miniaturisation. That must count for something too.
I enjoyed the book. If you're interested, my comment history on HN contains a reference to i somewhere, where someone linked to serious criticism about many of the book's claims, and a reply to said criticism by Matthew Walker.

Regarding the alarms: I find that consistency is much more important for mee than total hours of sleep. I'm much better on a consistent 7h/day than on 8h/day where my sleep/wake time moves around.
And A12Z is a two year old A12X rebranded (they literally just enabled a GPU core turned off before for yields), using the exact same die.

The etymology doesn't matter so much as long as the harm done now is real. I wrote this comment in a similar thread before, but I'll paste it here:

Historically, white/blacklist did not have racial origins, but history is always happening. The original intent of a word can be erased by its proximity to new taboos and new circumstances, and in this case, white/black have been racialized.

A lot of regulation in China is barely/at all enforced, but if you think that also apply to drug regulation then you're very very wrong.

Entertainment figures regularly gets shunned by the whole industry because they were caught smoking pot, which is not even a criminal offense in China. The whole mentality is worth a book but to the Chinese society (not just government) drugs are taken very seriously.
> If fatigue is a simple threshold (i.e. you "become fatigued" after a certain number of units of work done), then the obvious solution is to work the employees at 100% utilization for half as long (at which point they should be roughly as fatigued as the employees worked half as hard for twice as long)

I am skeptical. Fatigue rate would be the delta between exertion and recovery rate. Recovery rate is far from negligible.

Try running up several flights of stairs as fast as you can, vs taking them at a leisurely pace. Most people would be winded after the former, but not bothered after the latter.

EDIT: It's made more complicated by the fact that we have many different "recovery rate"s.
When talking exercise, there's the obvious "V02 max", or the maximum rate at which we can absorb oxygen. So long as our muscles have sugar/fat, they should be able to work if we keep our exertion below this point.

If we exceed this, our muscles begin working anaerobically; recovering energy there takes much longer. That's the difference between running and walking up the stairs.

I imagine there are other types of fatigue, but I am not a medical/health/exercise professional.

Mental fatigue is different again as well.

But there are probably background "fatigue"ing rates that are important, like hours-since-you've-eaten. In that case, doing the same work in half the time may be better.

It's easy to talk myself into realizing I know nothing.
Then you have lost that particular identity and would have to start over with a new one for that particular aspect of your online life. If you lose it and can get it back somehow then it wasn't really yours in the first place.

You can have as many passphrase protected backups of your identity in as many places as you like so in practice the more likely issue would be where someone else gets access to your private key. So that means some sort of revocation contingency.
Not for me, no. Once they're defrosted they're in the fridge.

250g coffee doesn't last more than a few days for me anyway, but if you were worried about it you could split down again to 125g, so you've never got more than two or three days for mould to set in.
A low observable fighter using its radar is hardly analogous to a man turning on a flashlight at night. This isn't the 1960's anymore where air search radars were turned on for extended periods on a set frequency.

Modern low probability of intercept are designed to emit only intermittently and hop between frequencies. An adversary might be able to detect the signal but probably won't be able to use it for tracking and targeting.

Furthermore data links allow for cooperative engagement. So the shooting platform can leave its radar off and rely on targeting data fed in from other sources.

Have there been any studies on the differences in behavior of apes fed high-calorie diets? (Presumably non-interventionist studies, of e.g. apes that scavenge from urban areas encroaching into their habitats.)

For that matter, how about the "city" monkeys of Lopburi, who eat human food (either from human offerings, or by stealing it)? Anyone looked into their sleep cycles?

What this discussion lacks is the acknowledgement of just how titanic Intel is.

It is pretty much the biggest semiconductor company out there, focusing solely on 3-4 main product lines.

The most surprising is them under-performing so much while them having resources comparable to the next few competitors combined.

It is not only their fabs that got an arrow to the knee with 10nm.

Their newest microarchitectures deliver tiny IPC gains in comparison to AMDs products even on comparable nodes, while having significantly more transistors per core.

Tiger Lake throws 40-45% more transistors, and only gets 10% IPC gain at max, and the rest of performance gains come from better thermals.
Yikes.. If buying QQQ is counted as "transacting with microsoft stock" then you could try finding a basket that didnt have microsoft. I'm not an expert in this stuff, but for example the Russell 2000 fits. It would be better if it was a tech/internet related basket.

EDIT: here's a better idea. Just buy apple and/or half a dozen other big tech stocks that you like!

Do people with Master's degrees make you feel awkward? Why or why not? Do you think we should call it something else?

It seems a bit racist to me to consider use of the term "Master" in a very technical and unrelated context to refer specifically to U.S. slavery.
Microsoft's Surface device runs Windows on ARM, and has for a while.
Yes, the arm Mac developer transition kit which runs a much wider variety of software with the same chip (including x86 SW) answered that.

At IDA Pro, the DTK is actually faster than a 16 inch MBP in practice... (and that's with an x86_64 copy of IDA... as an arm64 one doesn't exist yet, workload being tested was loading an iOS kernelcache)
Even if you acknowledge that a global hegemony lead by the US currently exists, it certainly has not "for the past few centuries". Value judgements on whether that hegemony has been a net positive or net negative for the world, aside. I'd say your viewpoint of the world is not based on reality.

If Assange leaked Chinese intelligence secrets, would he be free right now? I expect so.

I'm not sure the whole "China is uniquely evil" idea that is expressed in these comments stands up to even the smallest scrutiny.
Yes, he was arrested after trying to fly out of China with meth in his luggage.
Microsoft have released at least two separate generations of ARM devices running desktop Windows (Surface with Windows RT back in 2012, and Surface Pro X more recently), so they're definitely up for it, even if the market hasn't been yet.
Happiness is doing more and expecting less.
Since the pizza shop was open, the situation at that place probably was not that dangerous. Most of the unrest was near the center of the city.
I think they dodged a bullet since you took it so personal.
Note that devices with Windows on Arm (64-bit) shipped from third-party OEMs first, with the Asus NovaGo being available in late 2017 for example.
AWS console set of web pages ... granted any big shop most certainly automates all their commands so rarely if ever needs to use that site ... evidently AWS console is a victim of its own success in continuing to have a 1990's look and feel ... yet being such a cash cow AWS should launch an entire re-write ... the underlying SDK and cli are great and they deserve a better UI

What more can i say i am from India, and I can tell you a number of Indian Industries have closed down because the rate at which we procure raw materials, Chinese can produce a finished product at that price. Almost a decade ago we had a flourishing Lock Industry, but when Chinese lock manufacturers entered the Indian market our manufacturers couldn't compete. Chinese could produce locks at a price for which we couldn't even produce steel. In a matter of years most lock manufacturers closed down. Now most distributors just import locks from China. Indian steel manufacturers started producing high grade steel for special applications to survive in the market. Because it was clear we cannot compete with china at volume pricing for low grade steel.

Hong Kong was already PRC-administered Chinese territory.
How many billions did the Microsoft lose before the division became profitable? I believe the breakdown is that Microsoft makes $7 on each third party physical game and $27 on each first party game. I doubt that Sony and Microsoft makes as much on their consoles as Apple makes selling headphones.

I am not sure this has anything to do with enums. When sending serialized data over the network you always have to have logic for dealing with the situation where what you get isn't quite what you expected. Not doing that is what causes things to break, not using enums.

How is this coddling anyone? And why are you viewing "these people" as somehow separate rather than just "us?"

Defunding the police is a simple to understand slogan that covers a lot of possibilities. Plenty of places have abolished their police and rebuilt from the ground up. When people use the slogan that's generally what they mean. Saying they literally expect there to be no police and everything is anarchy is a strawman position no one besides a couple bros in hoodies in seattle actually takes seriously.
I will try to be brief and go to the point.

Wt is different to templating. It's server side rendering and the widgets communication is transparent, based on slots and receivers in the server side.

If you came from java it has similarities to Vaadin.

It has more goodies, websockets, DB...
Yes, let's keep on all options on the table.

But trying to constant-factor optomize O(code I didn't change) is a ridiculous approach that needs justification, and the burden of proof is on those that advocate it. Yet, this seem to be the default thing people beg for.

Switching to incremental is hard programming, and that's why it hasn't happened overnight, but at least it is an algorithmically sane approach.
I don't have to imagine it. This is a textbook example of a Jira implementation failure not a Jira failure: "not having any idea how to use or configure it correctly to model the work being done."
At least this statement is relatively accurate, although I don't know that the phrase "record numbers" applies. Every single comment you've made in this thread has been an example of pro-China whataboutism. You claim to be European, but I'm pretty sure you're not. You've had an account just over 30 days on HN and every comment you have made is pro-China. Seems to me you are not a legitimate participant in this discussion.
There is a serious problem with justice in the US though. We have in Norway seen cases of our citizens being unjustly imprisoned in the US through sham trials.

While the US has protected people doing serious crime in Norway.

I don’t defend China, but I wish the US held a much higher standard itself because it is hard for western countries to fight for justice and human rights when the US has such a poor record itself.

Hello,

There definitely is that power use advantage.

Those tests are pathological cases because of bugs, and aren't representative of the performance of the hardware. (for that one I suspect that ARMv8.1-A atomics weren't used in compiler options...)
What in tarnation, that sounds like a product idea. Maybe that works because the vibrations draw your attention in a multi-sensory way, forcing your racing thoughts to a halt. Maybe there’s also a Pavlovian response. Vibration = sleep
In 2018, the Bureau of Justice Statistics reported that among defendants charged with a felony, 68% were convicted (59% of a felony and the remainder of a misdemeanor) with felony conviction rates highest for defendants originally charged with motor vehicle theft (74%), driving-related offenses (73%), murder (70%), burglary (69%), and drug trafficking (67%); and lowest for defendants originally charged with assault (45%).

I do wonder if that cold war did indeed end with the fall of the Soviet Union or if it's in fact still going on, but the US and some of its European partners aren't aware of it.
I am a recent grad interested in C++ but from my perspective, very few employers want to hire recent grads for C++.
It would be more lower upper class who collectively spend more than the ultrarich who are misers proportionally.
So, because Apple is moving their general computing devices to ARM-based CPU/GPU, the whole world is going to do the same, Intel will die and world peace will be achieved?

Hold your horses. No one even knows how it will perform, how Rosetta 2 will perform and if Intel is not going to hit back as it did with Qualcomm and Microsoft.

Seeing is believing, after all.
I just reloaded the page and, let me see the top comments:

1. Note that US citizens have long been warned about stuff like this ...

2. I just noticed - all anti China comments were heavily upvoted but just in last 30 mins ... (this comment thread)

3. Not just arrested but tortured ...

4. This is bad for Canadians recently, with many arrests and accusations of spying ...

5. I've visited China nearly every year for the past 6 years and never had any sort of issues ...

6. I get the impression that we're now in an undeclared Cold War with China.

7. Use this to negotiate hazard pay with your company when traveling to China.

The rest are greyed out:

8. ... If this is the direction China wants to continue to go in, I no longer want anything to do with it ...

9. ... Of course anything and everything is a sign of a "New Cold War" so I'm not surprised this is as upvoted as it is.

10. The current administration has been bullying China incessantly ...

So, 1/3/8 are clearly anti-China, 4/6/7 can be read either way, 5 is questioning the premise (so we could consider it mildly pro-China, if you will), and 9/10 are the only explicitly pro-China comments. They are also at the bottom.

So I'm not really sure what you're saying.
That's pretty silly. What makes you say this? There are large groups at Google responsible for buying every computer there is and evaluating the TCO thereof. With operating expenses exceeding two billion dollars per week, they have a larger incentive to optimize their first-party power efficiency than anyone else in the business. I'm fairly certain their first-party workloads (search etc) are the largest workloads in the world.
