You are alone with this problem. Finding the right size for a PR can be really hard. Too big, and no one really wants to review it because it is too time consuming. Too short, and it fails to show the bigger picture. We struggle with exactly the same thing, with a bias towards too large PRs.

I am not even sure I can always agree with myself here. I tend to favor small PRs myself, but I also really dislike PRs that are only part of the solution. PRs should not only be about critiquing the actual code lines, it should also evaluate and discuss the overall architecture, security aspects, performance, readability, tests and probably other things as well. This is difficult to achieve with small PRs.

The solution is never to "just fix your process", in my opinion. The correct process depends on the people involved, the culture in the team and organization, the importance of the service in question, among other things. Finding the correct process is a never ending task :)
I wonder if this is laziness (my bet) or if it’s due to the seizure warning they show before the game starts.
AMD is becoming as user hostile as Intel; the only interesting Threadrippers for pros that need a lot of RAM, and all is restricted to OEMs only. After the x399 upgrade fiasco, here comes another blow to loyal users.

> Whether or not they know it

They know exactly what they're doing. Trump plays the ignorant fool so cruel and heartless policies can be put in place efficiently, and supportive policies can be undone efficiently.

I don't think Trump is a bright individual, but he is definitely accomplishing what he set out to accomplish. Most people just aren't used to a president actively undermining their own country.
Nit: this article keeps talking about "The RISC" and "The CISC" as if there are only 2 instruction sets in the world, rather than appropriately naming them the x86 instruction set(s) and ARMx instruction sets that happen to be CISC and RISC.

It also makes a giant (and incorrect leap) to say that software is why this is only happening now. Aside from the fact that there's no clear reason why 2020 is different in terms of software (what changed?), it pushes aside performance differences that have plagued moving ARM beyond mobile phones for years. Multicore performance, vector/float performance, clock speeds... all these things have been thorns in ARM's side for a long time now while also being a feather in Intel's cap. So either these processors will make a different trade off (SMP workloads are poor, but battery is great), or AWS/Apple have a breakthrough that has changed the game. Apple's internals are secret, so we shall see once the benchmarks (and products) finally come out!
Typescript makes reading JS infinitely easier for me, I would always use for a large codebase given the option.

> How do we get past this?

Reform the entire election system:

- 4 year term length for House elections instead of 2 so that representatives can get stuff done instead of having to spend every second year in election campaigns

- reform campaign financing to a government funded model like in Germany (and entirely ban PACs) so that the influence of big money on government is eliminated

- if possible, get rid of the Presidential election by the population and have the President elected by Congress to prevent the situation of having a President without his own legislative majority

- get rid of FPTP and introduce proportional voting to reduce polarization and create more diversity in politics

- get rid of voter suppression and gerrymandering, make Sunday a voting day (or alternatively, a federal holiday), enforce universal mail-in voting across states
They might be, this is HN after all!
You can be critical without being dehumanizing.
You’re going to be bitter and resentful for a long time if you believe that the fact that you haven’t received a single consulting contract is due to big corporations working against you.

It sounds like you’ve built a useful piece of software. However, you don’t get handouts because you’ve built something. Those who are successful actively promote themselves and their products. There’s a reason companies aren’t comprised of just software engineers.
My guess is Milan is going to be a decent upgrade so they don't care at this point.

Dev A: I need an API to CRUD

Me: But we've been doing CRUD for 30 years without an API this is a small project

Dev A: But I don't know how, its not best practice, my team lead agrees, here is a medium article, get with the times, etc.

Me: Ok so you don't know how to do your job.

Dev B: Here, put the React SPA in a Docker container and run it on some cloud its easy...

Me: But all I need is still CRUD, I dont need to scale it, I dont care if its isolated, it should have been 100 lines of code

Dev B: its not best practice, my team lead agrees, here is a medium article, get with the times, Docker run everywhere, etc.

Me: But what I need to connect it to internal resources and use DNS?

Dev B: load balancer! If only you have an AKS cluster!

Me: We work in a 25 person company that needs some very basic CRUD. It will never scale past one deployment, ever, if it does, dont worry we will pay someone to do it right because we will be swimming in money.

The problem is that people are starting to not know how to do simple things. So you get grumpy admins losing their marbles over the complexity of this BS. Most of the time things could be fixed faster, easier, deployed and managed easier using simple technologies that have been around for 20+ years.

But lets wack it with the Python, Docker, React, NoSQL, GraphDB, K8S hammer because...? Not only that, the juniors don't know multiple technologies anymore they just know X. So sysadmins complain that devops is pushing more roles on them, while I have developers that have written full Node.js sites and dont know that IP or a Port, or TCP, UDP, is...

So basically, same shtick different decade.
Many companies have learned (the hard way) that public statements are admissible to court. All public statements from most big companies go through many levels of checking to ensure they don't send a wrong message.

I know of one case where the warning label on a lawnmower that rocks can be thrown conflicted with the advertising picture of a kid close to a lawnmower and therefore the company doesn't believe that warning lable. I'm not sure what came of it (probably settled out of court for big $$$). However many companies are careful what they say.
Is this somehow worse than having to know that a Core i7 could be a Skylake, Comet Lake, Ice Lake... or maybe it's a Lakefield? Oh nope the latest Lake is... an unrelated hybrid chip. And Comet Lake is Skylake. One of the Skylakes. I think. There's also Skylake-X.

But wait, that's just one of the confusions of Intel chips. Do they not also have workstation chips... and server chips... which are both called Xeon?

But... what about Core i5/i7/i9 vPro you say? Sorry yeah I forgot those were a thing. (And Intel still sells Pentium and Celeron... and apparently maybe still Atom and Itanium... https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/processors.... )

I don't know if Intel or AMD are doing this stuff with intention to confuse, inform or just market. AMD has mixed generations between CPU, APU and mobile APU (Zen 2 as 3xxx desktop CPU but 4xxx APUs for example)... but I would definitely say the product lines are pretty clear.

You are saying you wouldn’t hire them because they wouldn’t fit into your work culture right?

Or are you saying you wouldn’t hire them because you don’t like their beliefs?
But how is that striking "a deal"? That doesn't sound like giving something to get something.
I have a service, on the way to do so. leave your email, and will send you mail when ready. thanks
oh no worries! I figured as much, hence my comment :-)

FWIW I really like systemd, but I agree the scope creep is real and isn't all positive.
I seriously hate LEDs on things. Please at least turn the LED off after a while, or have some mode to do it. My logitech speakers in my bedroom have a blue light on the volume knob, which is meant to sit on a desk or table. I had to put two layers of electrical tape on that one to block it out it was so bright. Without that it would light up an entire room. (Then again, I am somewhat light sensitive)
This was the event that broke the camel's back? No, we've been laughed at and ridiculed for the past three years. Add this to the pile.
Get of your high horse. Scientists and engineers in China, are political actors. Everything done in china is political. And your right is superseded by national security, and good luck trying to find infringment on it.

I for one am rooting to start boycotting the whole of China, until their communist regime which conducts genocide is forced to change and play humane and fair.
The problem is not "manager/client doesn't understand software development". That's fine.

The problem is lack of trust in you as the expert and possibly a lack of self-awareness (they think they understand).

A manager/client should make mostly strategical decisions like: We should solve this problem, here are the resources. And almost never tactical.

They also shouldn't even care or look at LoC. They shouldn't be worried about metrics of 'effort' at all.
So what? All producers dropped prices and offered intensive. All companies try to sell/produce cars in China. Getting extra money for doing nothing is a negative now? Automotive only margins are still good and improving making their outlook for the second half of the year very good.
Taxes are computed at the cashier because tax rates vary from state to state and city to city. If sales taxes were uniform then we would see more advertised prices including tax.

One exception is in advertised gasoline prices, which usually include all the taxes, including sales tax and special gasoline taxes.
Which leads me to want to fill the rest of the story in: the manager of the senior engineer had a friend he wanted to promote, and this was the expedient way of getting the obstacle out of the way.

That could be completely wrong, of course. But would it surprise you?
Are you serious?

To me this adds to the picture of an administration who is about to loose the forthcoming election and is acting more and more eratic.

But I am not American so I cannot tell whether this is actually convincing to the broader electorate?
> Side note: If you drop the penny, for the love of $diety change your sales tax structure so that it's a multiple of 5. 5%, 10%, 15%, etc... Since Canada changed but left the taxes the same (14% in Ontario IIRC) there seems to be a lot of rounding-off in favour of companies instead of consumers. $0.01-$0.02 per transaction * millions of transactions per day has got to make some accountants happy.

This 100%. Quebec is the worst - 9.975%! Why oh why. It is so much simpler to have reasonable change in alberta.
Never mind his $8000 self-driving packages, Tesla's share price is where the action is.
I wonder who downvoted.

I'm not in the US either.

Where I live Apple offers the same fixed-price battery replacement service but in local currency.

But if I go to a non-Apple store, but an "approved seller" of Apple products, they will quote a much higher price. I challenged them about this once, and they said it wouldn't be cheaper anywhere else, so I showed them the Apple page and they admitted that was much cheaper and I should go to the Apple store.

I told you about the Apple service in case you were being ripped off and would appreciate knowing about the Apple fixed price service, if you are in a country where they do that.

US $ prices were provided because you quoted $800, presumably US $. Other country prices are on the Apple website with a bit of searching. Look up battery service.

Refund method was asked for, which is rather dependent on country. If you're in a less-likely-for-HN country and asking how to get a refund it would make sense to say which country.
Do you think it would've gotten so many upvotes/clicks if that was the case?

On Tesla's part, it's lying by omission.

In the context of someone using airplane autopilot as a defense of Tesla, they're not omitting anything. So I don't think that's a full answer to my question.
It's a combination of #2 and #3. The Trump administration has a strategy that should be very clear by now: implement or propose outlandish policy, then use it as leverage for gains in some orthogonal area while walking it back. This is deal-making 101, Trump (or his ghost-writer) writes about it in all his books, and it's an obvious trend. He uses this tact in domestic policy and trade deals, and tbh it's pretty effective.
If the protocols used for mobile networks were designed to be secure, most of the infrastructure couldn't do anything worse than a DoS attack. It'd still need some trusted servers for key management, but those could be standard hardware with relatively simple software.
Bringing the print statement back
>Canadian government: We think it's a good idea, so we're going to do it.

I think that is primarily a function of having three rather than two major political parties. With three parties, any party that can be on the other side of a controversial issue from the other two tends to win the argument. Hence, we're a lot more biased for action at the government level.

You need multiprecision floating point for very deep mandelbrot zooms - it's really easy to hit the limits of a 53 bit mantissa on today's computers.

Interestingly, you don't need multiprecision floating point for every pixel: you can do precise calculations for a few tentpole pixels and calculate most of the rest at adouble precision based on the differences between their location and a tentpole. But you also need some significant cleverness to accurately fill in the gap betwen "most" and "all":

Do not understand why we still mint them--there are enough pennies in existence to last forever, the problem is they are just sitting in jars on shelves. Instead of minting new ones the treasury (through banks) should just start buying them for 2 cents each until enough come back into circulation.

> … the law is as it is and producers invest in content with the expectation that those laws will be enforced.

The law can change tomorrow with the stroke of a pen and society won't owe them anything for these past "investments" no matter what their expectations were. Which, of course, is why they invest so much in politics and astroturf campaigns to head off any attempt to actually change the law to something more in line with what most people actually think is right. (If you applied the principle of estoppel and required anyone who had ever violated copyright law to suit words to actions and vote against it then you probably couldn't even get a quorum in favor, much less a majority.)

> The problem with this line of reasoning is that all property is an artificial construct.

Property rights arise naturally as a result of scarcity. Someone has to have the right to decide how the scarce resource will be used or it might as well not exist.

"Property" rights in things that are not scarce are a purely artificial construct.

> For starters, the GPL, CC, Apache and many other free licenses rely on copyright to work.

Copyleft licenses were created as a reaction against copyright. Sometimes they overstep their bounds, true—especially the less permissive variants. However, in general, if copyright and software patents did not exist then there would be no need for any of these licenses.

> The wholesale destruction of journalism, for example, has clearly damaged society. Part of the damage has been caused because Google and Facebook have subverted copyright to their own causes.

Taking it at face value, this appears to be an argument against copyright? Not that I really agree that Google and Facebook are primarily to blame. The public simply prefers to be entertained and reaffirmed rather than informed. If anything, copyright reinforces this outcome since you can't copyright facts (and rightly so); as such, actual journalism, uncovering the facts of the situation, has become a cost center to be minimized, whereas the "expression" is heavily subsidized via copyright monopoly.
Ah, that's a good point. I'm sorry not to have a better solution at the moment.

One thing I think we'll do is add links to comments to jump to next subthread (and jump to parent), which would at least enable you to skip the noise easily.
I doubt the troops will forget it though and this will comeback as the election nears.
It's pretty plausible IMO that someone in the administration just told SEVP "hey, colleges are gonna reopen in the fall" and they didn't check to see if it was true.
This is very saddening, I was looking forward to build a 16 core system on this platform to give me an insane amount of room for upgrade in the years to come.

When it comes to governments then no system of government can evet be said to proven as they all interfere with each other frequently to try to get a little more of something be it territory, trade terms, or propagation of their ideology.
It is sort of like blaming predators for the failure of an "ultimate species" which must spend five years of its life before reproduction of its life as a giant nutritious delicious meat cocoon in with no immune system in an open field exposed to air, sunlight, and water. The fact everything from bacteria to mice to tigers eats it before even a week passes means no matter how awesome it would be post metamorphosis it isn't well adapted in a survival sense.

Can we get rid of nickels and dimes too?

And standardize on a single sales tax rate across the country?

And then build that into prices instead of being tacked on extra?

Just let everything actually cost increments of $0.25. Let me buy something on the McDonald's dollar menu with an actual dollar. Not with two dollars and then dealing with seven chunks of metal in return.

(I mean, as long as we're dreaming. Because if we haven't managed to get rid of the penny over the past 30 years, I don't see why we'll ever actually manage to in the future. Sadly.)
It doesn't really look bad to me... market segmentation isn't all about the silicon but the support and quality assurance. It seems like they want maximum control over quality for the big-spending money-making customers, which makes a lot of sense.

What I'm surprised about is that they're branding this "Threadripper Pro" instead of branding it as a high end Epyc workstation chip. Threadripper is a watered down Epyc chip to start with, and all they've done here is raise base clocks, lower boost, and turn on the additional IO that Epyc already had which was disabled in TR.
We're working on a large internal web application, and got huge benefits out of HTTP/2.

It allows us to make smaller purpose REST api endpoints and do many calls, instead of trying to bundle everything together in larger endpoints.

Being able to parallelize cheaply greatly simplified our architecture and API design, and it costs us nothing.
Emacs can be used to edit sieve files directly on the server, with M-x sieve-manage, so long as you have the managesieve daemon running.
The aim of the examples is to show what goes wrong in eventually consistent systems where it's possible that two reads of a stream may not be consistent with respect to each other. The examples are not intended to say that such anomalies can't be fixed by providing stronger consistency guarantees by using timestamps.
IAANAL but I think since they were demonstrably harmed by the policy, they can file suit against it.
> the worst thing to happen to system administration since systemd

Cool, I need to look into Kubernetes way more then! There hasn't been any single development in the Linux world that has made my job as a sysadmin easier than systemd. Services, Timers and Networking that just works, is concisely defined and can be used across all relevant distros? Hell yeah, I don't ever want to go back into init.d/ifupdown/crontab world filled with bad configuration files, strange footguns and bugs that won't ever get fixed because someone's legacy system might depend on them.
That happened in Washington state when Costco sponsored a privatization initiative to allow liquor to be sold by private stores and abolish the state stores. The private stores started advertising the non-tax price with tiny print saying that tax would be added at the register (when the state sold liquor, the price on the shelf included all liquor taxes). People were pissed thinking that the state had been ripping them off until they got to the register and found that the price was pretty much what they paid before. Actually they were paying a bit more, most people didn't read the initiative before voting on it. Now the stores print the total price in their advertisements.
Lobbyists is the one and only answer. The zinc lobby is strong.
I mean, people had demonstrated VTOL rocket landings before SpaceX came along. It was obviously just a matter of scaling it up and throwing tons of engineering man hours and test money at it, as SpaceX did.
I just dealt with a similar issue. It took about a week with multiple back and forths, and then they just said "Try again, it should work". And it did. I bet after WWDC they get a much larger volume of registrations that they really inspect carefully.

“Lobbying” as the reflexive reason for all political ills is tiresome, especially considering aggressive lobbying by universities is likely what caused this reversal.
That's not No True Scotsman. It's fact. The FBI did not pin any illegal activity on antifa. Cotton had absolutely no evidence to back his claim. While I obviously don't know everyone who participated in looting, in NYC where I live the looters were nowhere near the organized protests.
