I’m doing roughly four hours of 30m calls a day (which completely destroys any real productivity I have), plus around two hours of actual “focus time”. The overhead and fragmentation implied pushes this to a 10-12h daily range, which is becoming a serious issue as I can’t find the time to plan or do quality work right now.
Distributing Databases from the Main Server to the Gitlab Private Repository
In this case I am using Codeigniter Framework to create my website and create a Rest API endpoint to interact with Integromat, let's just say this is Webhook (hmm... looks stupid). I will provide a snippet from the Controller that will interact with the Integromat and Library FlySystem as data distributors for Gitlab.
Notably, looking up graphs of GDP per capita of France and the UK and putting them next to each other, I'd challenge anyone to see when the change happened.

One thing that comparing GDP per capita growth tends to show is that global and regional overall development totally swamps even seemingly large changes like the 35 hour week.

What the change also tends to gloss over is that the number of hours worked per worker in France is not particularly low. According to OECD, for 2019 it stood at 1505 vs. 1538 for the UK or 1386 for Germany. The reduction in France, to the extent it changed anything, may have distributed work a bit more but it did not suddenly drastically reduce the hours worked.

The average number of hours worked per worker dropped somewhat over the few years after the reform, but it dropped across all the major OECD countries, and by similar rates.

Peter Leeson has written extensively on the way actual pirate ships were run. He sometimes calls himself an anarchist, but he makes it clear in his work that these ships were relying on carefully-tuned institutional designs that were not all that far from what we would now call liberal, representative government.

In the article they quote Linus speculating that the increased core count of CPUs will achieve the same thing as AVX512 without the problems. I have read comments on HN that if cores keep increasing on CPUs they might be able to replace GPUs for some of the tasks as GPUs (or CUDA in particular) have quirks that CPUs don't have.

AVX512 in particular has issues. Using it slows down the CPU so actual wall clock benefits depends heavily on how it is used.
> For instance, on the Windows desktop app, the word "I've" gets marked as incorrectly spelled. When you click on it to see the spelling suggestions, it suggests "I've". Clicking on the suggestion does nothing and it continues to flag it. This has been an issue in the app for over a year and I refuse to believe that the developers are unaware of it. It's a very common word to be typing.

The spelling situation gets better than this. You're actually forced to use the Teams one. For example, on MacOS, text fields get "free" spelling and grammar by the OS, which honour whatever settings you've configured. Of course, Teams doesn't use MacOS text fields, so they're on their own.

I live in France and so use French in Teams, but I absolutely hate having programs in several languages so all my programs are in US English. If I set Teams to use English for the interface, guess what language it uses for spelling? I'm still looking for a way to tell it in which language to check spelling, but we'll have probably switched to the next shiny thing until this happens...
One can't lament about maximized efficiency in societies and corporations while ignoring competition. If Amazon doesn't optimize, Alibaba will take over and nothing will change for the better. If we put more "humanity" in our food production, our food will become more expensive and most people will opt for cheaper, imported food. There are always dependencies, consequences, prerequisites for interventions in the natural order of things and far too many articles get written in total ignorance of these. And far too often, bad examples of modern consumer products (like the grocery-ordering fridge or Facebook) are used to argue against efficiency.

Molok is the name used in the Bible for a Canaanite deity that the Israelites were forbidden to "suffer their seed to pass through the fire to". Details are scarce, but this is usually taken to refer to human sacrifice. It later became syncretized with reports of child sacrifice at Carthage, where the popular imagery associated with Molok (the idol with outstretched hands, the drums) is taken from.
Yes, and in the WVR fight, doing a trick like that isn't helpful. You kill all your energy. While the nose is moving, your aircraft is still going in a similar plane of motion and has little capability to use the vertical.

The funny thing is, everyone already knew this. The venerable Harrier could perform a manoeuvre called "viffing", in which it rotated its engine nozzles back to vertical whilst in horizontal flight. But the ability wasn't used at all during the Falklands war in the early 80's. And here we are in 2020 and people are still debating it.
Well, the wall-clock time may be longer, but the human time is much shorter. As long as you have one meal's worth of slack in the amount of crockery you have, the dishwasher wins by a country mile in the amount of effort expended.

To suggest that C++ is about "syntactic sugar" only demonstrates that you have no comprehension of the topic. C++ is complex because the problems people need it for are complex.

C++ enables capturing semantics in libraries that cannot be expressed in any other language. There are reasons why C++ is used, almost exclusively, in the most challenging fields. It will not be easy for you to understand those reasons, because you will need to learn a great deal first.

But having learned, if you do, you will understand why it would be foolish to attempt those tasks in a lesser language, and you will regret having used C where it has so limited you.
I think it is really a very simple question: do you want to run the software you have now, at the fastest speed possible, with all the current defects? If so, get an Intel machine now. If you want to be able to do future, different things, wait for the ARM machine.

Personally I would use something like an Apple Chromebook. Long long battery life, more secure (from hardware support like the trusted enclave, microarch stuff like tagged pointers, and the OS moving towards unpriviledged applications and code signing), better iOS integration.

I think we're actually overdue for Apple to offer cloud offload processing, especially for iOS, but maybe offload to the edge (your macbook) becomes easier with ARM.

'Directly connected' to a project might mean a user of - but I assume you mean a major contributor to (as even small time users of free software often contribute something - bug reports, feature requests, code contributions, money, etc).

Sorry to be boring, but I am wondering about how Arm Macs are going to get on with Microsoft Office. With my mac users their most used applications are Outlook, Word and Excel. Somehow I can't set them getting the same level of support as Adobe is getting. I'm interested what other people think?
The problem with this argument is that it's less important than the one in the article but easier to undermine. What if a soulless bureaucrat read it and thought, "OK then, I'll try it out and see if it increases productivity" and find that, even in the long term, it doesn't. Is that enough justification to remove breaks? If course not. The truth is, it's irrelevant whether it increases efficiency.

It reminds me of someone who believes that all torture is morally wrong, but then adds "and it doesn't work anyway". Now if someone can find a situation where it does work then they can undermine that position with addressing the core argument.
There's a pretty good correlation between the two, let's not pretend otherwise.

Wikipedia probably has a better answer, but basically the name Moloch is from the Bible. One of the ways genocide of the inhabitants of Canaan (the promised land) is justified is by describing Canaanites as immoral people who sacrifice their own children to idols. Moloch is supposed to be one of the idols, but the actual history of Moloch is very sparse. Probably was one of the main local gods way back in the day like Baal. Probably not even an "evil" god at all (like Baal) since the Bible is heavily biased against the competing local gods in the region.

So basically, a god of Canaanites we only know about from the people that wanted to wipe them out and wrote very influential texts.

Yes, that would help in theory. But in practice it would only change the way how the people inducing the pressure would verify that the votes have in fact been cast according to their preferences.

For instance, if voting multiple times is allowed and only the last vote counts, they would require the people to vote during the last 10 minutes of the polling period and afterwards they would withhold their ID card with the signing capability from them until the polling is closed.

If there are multiple private keys to choose from, they would require people to at first prove which one is usable for this particular election by checking it with the issuing authority. The owner must have been given this information in some verifiable form at some time, so the demand will simply extend to include that information as well.

Some advice that I give to aspiring game programmers is: Start small. You're not going to remake Fallout on your first go. Your first project should be something like a text adventure game -- something that you can reach the end of quickly with the skills you have. If you reach the end of that project quickly, you will taste victory early and this will be nitro in your motivation tank that will help you complete the next-bigger project.
I'm pretty sure the generated code will be an incomprehensible mess that passes precisely those tests and nothing more, e.g. it would correctly sort arrays [1,3,2] and [3,2,1], but not [2,1,3]; and obviously not [1,4,2], because the specs didn't mention number 4.
It is wrapped in Electron, but as other siblings have said, so are the Windows and Mac versions.

However, for some reason, if when you start Teams the mic is unplugged, it will never detect it if plugged in afterwards. I often use it on a desktop pc without a built-in mic, and I only plug my headphones in case of a call. 100% of the time I have to restart Teams.

Oh, and as others have said elsewhere, it's painfully slow. There's a constant sort of lag about it. For example the highlights changing in the chats list when moving the mouse on top of them...

This is not minor. In Rust "x = y" specifically only copies or moves bytes, no magic involved, no code is run except something like memcpy.

- If the type isn't marked Copy, it's a bytes move (which will very probably be optimized out).

- If the type is marked Copy (which is possible only if all its subtypes are also marked Copy, which allocating types are not) then it's a bytes-for-bytes copy.

As soon as you need something more involved, then you have to implement (or derive for simple types) Clone.
> What is wrong with this?

I mostly agree with you, there's nothing wrong with it. What's happening is the same thing that goes on everywhere in social media. People projecting their worldviews, opinions, and believing that their opinions are special and The One view that should prevail. That they should have a right to be heard everywhere, that their opinions should carry weight everywhere (regardless of the forum).

It's like we're dealing with a very emotionally & intellectually spoiled generation, brats. The everyone gets a trophy generation. People that can't accept that their opinions don't govern the universe and are not important everywhere; nor are all opinions equally important everywhere. Social media has warped all of that severely. It's almost like it has deluded a mass of people into thinking their opinion broadcast inside of their home/space, has (or should have) the same weight when broadcast outside to the world and that the two should be given the same kind of consideration.

I think this is a very common logic failure. They're unable to mentally separate concepts effectively. In my observation very few people actually invest into thinking, how to think, how to use logic, how to reason. It takes a lot of effort to get good at it.

Critically people need to learn that their opinions do not always matter and are not valuable all the time. It's a concept that the woke, cancel culture generation can't tolerate. I think the US culture needs a hefty dose of this right now: your opinion is not as important as you think it is; your feelings are not that important; feelings are not more important than facts.

It really is the fragile, coddled generation. They can't live with the notion of the lack of their importance. It makes perfect sense though, it's also the hyper narcissistic selfie / influencer generation. It all goes together.
How does this feature compare to MS SQL's Temporal Tables https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sql/relational-databases/ta...?

This feature seems to be well fitted to support some of the cases where event sourcing is introduced, I wonder if someone successfully applied event sourcing with use of temporal tables to reduce the amount of work that has to be done in the application code (Akka, etc.).
The OP goes into some detail on the essentialness of honesty and integrity when it comes to inquiry. Without both, your pursuit of deep understanding will short-circuit. The best way I know to overlook truth is to willfully presume you know something, especially something unknowable. And that's faith. To exercise faith, you must stop questioning, shut your eyes, and jump into the abyss. You stop thinking. If some sort of understanding arises from faith, it most certainly is not the fruit of intellectual pursuit.
In the keynote they already demoed Office Suite running on ARM. There’s nothing to worry about on that front.
Hey dang, first, I appreciate all of your comments in this post and your deep commitment to both HN and the state of online discussion. I'm learning a lot from reading your comments.

I'm curious if given all that you've shared, you think it's even _possible_ to scale a "healthy" discussion site any larger than HN currently is? It's clear that HN's success is in no small part due to the commitment, passion, and active participation of the few moderators. Contrast that with some of the top comments, which describe how toxic Twitter is, and I wonder if there's some sort of limit to effective moderation, or if we just haven't found more scalable solutions to manage millions of humans talking openly online sans toxicity? cheers
Did similar stuff on Atari & Amiga. We actually had an app that could create SMPTE timecode on a pin of a printer port. Then we could read the timecode back (on an interrupt) and synchronize a MIDI score to a multi-track tape recorder. Oh and we used another pin to output MIDI...

I for one would be delighted by having more caches or wider backends instead of AVX512, but I don't want SIMD to be pushed into GPUs. It'd be better to do the reverse - to push forward the asymmetric core idea and move more GPU functionality into lots of simpler cores tuned for SIMD at the cost of single thread performance.
The word missing from the post is "headroom". In critical systems it's more often called safety margin.

If you let the beancounters squeeze out headroom in the name of greater efficiency, you sacrifice resilience and reliability. In other news, water is wet.

Not taking orders from robots, or having your agenda defined by robots/automatic scripts, should in fact be a societal norm. One can argue with a human boss, however bad or mean or stupid they are. You can't argue with a robot and that's what makes people's lives miserable.

Reminds me of this pg classic [1]:

> When we say that one kind of work is overpaid and another underpaid, what are we really saying? In a free market, prices are determined by what buyers want. People like baseball more than poetry, so baseball players make more than poets. To say that a certain kind of work is underpaid is thus identical with saying that people want the wrong things.

> Well, of course people want the wrong things. It seems odd to be surprised by that. And it seems even odder to say that it's unjust that certain kinds of work are underpaid. Then you're saying that it's unjust that people want the wrong things. It's lamentable that people prefer reality TV and corndogs to Shakespeare and steamed vegetables, but unjust? That seems like saying that blue is heavy, or that up is circular.

In the same way, it’s “lamentable” that people buy mass-produced products that are slightly inferior and cheaper, but not surprising.

I use Spacemacs. It's horrible. It's:

- Bloated

- Slow

- Encourages you to lock your personal configuration into the Spacemacs ecosystem, rather than writing it in generic Elisp so you can easily extract it (why I still use it).

- Introduces ridiculous abstractions that aren't necessary, just so they can put "spacemacs" in front of the variable name.

- Hasn't released to the master branch in 2 or 3 years (!)

- Consequenty breaks regularly when you use the rolling release (which you pretty much have to do)

- Has an unresponsive owner who doesn't want to hand the project off to someone else (or hasn't found someone)

- Sets up weird default behaviour that's very difficult to disable

- Has awful defaults for most languages anyway. Their Python layer is terrible, the features are extremely limited and it often doesn't work.

Doom is a much better starter pack.

>The truth is, it's irrelevant whether it increases efficiency.

Exactly that's what I want to point out. The talking in the article is not about efficiency or productivity, but that there is a moral compass we have to uphold whatever path we chose to take.
