Basically the same effect happened with a lot of DOS shareware drawing programs in the day. The file formats were often instructions like:

Line (20,500) (45, 520) (15)
Line (200,523) (65, 520) (15)
Circle (300, 300) (100) (30)
Fill (50,30) (16)
and so on

If you had a slower computer, or the software wasn't optimized that well, you'd be able to sit and watch your drawing re-draw every time you loaded the file or made certain edits.
You know, I've been doing a lot of linux / ssh work recently, and I'd love to have something in the console that could give me more of a graphical interface. The midnight commander is good, but a file manager, document preview tool would be awesome. Particularly since so much of the content we produce today is graphical in some way. Something that we could use over SSH without setting up RDP / VNC - I don't need an entire desktop, and often don't have the bandwidth to make it viable anyway. Do you think that something like RIPScript could be used for that? Would there be a way to create a linux graphical terminal?
I have worked in b2b selling to enterprise or midmarket for my whole career, so individual customers are generally noticeable amounts of revenue. And our lowest end customers have CLVs in the 250k+ range. So that obviously influences my view of whether CSMs have org-wide impact.

I can see how that differs with a different business model, but I don't see how you can simultaneously believe CSMs don't have leverage, but salespeople do. In a business -- particularly in a saas model -- where you have CSMs and AEs, CSMs have more leverage, because you probably barely break even on year one of a customer.
Sorry, this doesn't sound realistic (I work for a major HFT).

Do you have evidence that someone net a billion in a year making a market on a single name?

This seems to ignore that the effective bandwidth could be so low that the latency is greater than conventional transmission systems like RF. Since scintillation radiation detectors are highly stochastic compared to semiconductor RF receivers, I think it's probable it would take too long to receive the bit with sufficient confidence.

Scintillation detectors don't work like a solid state detector and have worse time characteristics.
Oh, I understand where you were going now. Sorry, I should have read your post a bit more closely.

My company uses assertions pretty aggressively, but they are compiled out in release builds. This serves as free unit tests and greatly improves debugging because we get a core dump whenever a bug occurs.

> I have also encountered situations using rg on med-large datasets where the files may contain Unicode, regular expressions, random garbage... and rg failed.

I would really love to have a bug report if you could find a way to reproduce this. ripgrep should certainly not fail regardless of the input. I've actually spent a lot of time trying to make sure that ripgrep's error handling and so forth generally match GNU grep's behavior.

> Here is an example showing the performance gap to be small using (enwiki-20200401-pages-articles-multistream.xml 72G) split into 24 files on a ramdisk. I ran this 50 times and the results are similar.

Could you show me where to get `enwiki-20200401-pages-articles-multistream.xml`? I'd love to run the benchmark myself, although I don't have a ramdisk quite that big. :P I could shrink the data set though a bit.

If I were to guess though, yeah, I'd generally expect GNU grep and ripgrep to perform similarly here. Speculating:

If the match count of those runs is very high, then total search time is likely dominated by per-match overhead. Both ripgrep and GNU grep should be pretty close there, but there's not too much room to improve drastically.

If the match count of those runs isn't high or is very small, then GNU grep and ripgrep will use a search algorithm that is virtually identical in its performance characteristics. They will both probably look for occurrences of `>` using `memchr`, and then run a full search on matching lines. It's hard to get much faster than that, so again, not a lot of room for differentiating yourself.

If I can get my hands on the corpus, then I'm pretty sure I could give you (non-pathological) patterns on which searches would show very different performance characteristics between GNU grep and ripgrep.
The title understates the authors' actual claim: "We found ... that this event would have effectively been impossible without human-induced climate change."

If someone wants to take the time to read the whole 35-page study, it would be interesting to know whether "human-induced climate change" is now just a synonym for "climate change", or is part of their research.
Exactly, honest mistakes can, and do, happen. The cause should be investigated and if minor, logged on a register; if serious, it must be reported to the regulator.
I feel the same way about many human-produced works, regardless of critics' views, so the fact that I'm aware these are produced by NN is probably not the only explanation.

Edit: maybe they were referring to the pandemic when they say "financial crisis"?
His first language is Russian, but grew up in the US.

From first hand experience as a person who grew up in a household with two completely different languages, this seems to come from having trouble of finding the right language to speak in for a little time until I can finally settle in on a language which makes most sense.

This or something absolutely different.

That may have been true back then, but it isn't true today. Or at least, it depends on your OS. On Linux, you can actually run this test fairly reliable with ripgrep. Pick a big file (hundreds of MB or a couple GB), make sure it's on a ramdisk (or in cache) and search for a pattern that doesn't exist:

$ rg --mmap zqzqzqzq big-file
$ rg --no-mmap zqzqzqzq big-file

The first is faster on my system by a sizeable portion.

There are cases where mmap can be slower. For example, when searching lots of small files simultaneously. The overhead of managing the memory maps in the OS ends up dominating.

EDIT: Memorys maps also have the downside of being susceptible to SIGBUS if the file it is searching is truncated. In this case, ripgrep aborts. (This is mentioned in the README, and you can avoid this in all scenarios by passing --no-mmap.)
I know we have been gaslighted a lot by the right wing about climate change, but honestly, what can we do about it? The current lockdowns and limits on travel achieved the largest drop in fossil fuel usage probably ever done in human history. As people choose to work from home, and as more people go vegan, these trends may continue. And?

We need carbon sequestration, maybe.

PS: will the sun entering a cooling period have any serious effect at all on Earth?
Central banks are declaring what the market price should be, and then the market price is moving in a band around that target. This is explicitly the process that the English-speaking banks use, and the SNB looks like it does something similar. A key characteristic of a free market is that there isn't one rather small committee that declares, in advance of the fact, roughly what the price should be.

The presence or absence of an auction isn't important for working out if a market is free or not. Macbooks operate in a free market and Apple doesn't normally auction them off. And the market they compete in is the market for laptops - Apple has no particular power to decide what the price of a generic laptop is. The price I pay for my laptops isn't at all controlled by what Apple thinks the price of a laptop should be.
Look,

The advice I say for the new parents and seems to be helpful is:

"Hang on there until 3-4 month"

What I mean.

The baby is adapting to the parents and the parents are adapting to the baby.
Until you learn to take "shifts" [1] and learn how the baby communicates[2] and its sleep pattern[3] set will take some time.

[1] - At beginning both parents will be awake but then you realize that you can't be awake all the time and there is no need to both be awake and tired then you start to make some "shifts".

[2] - Is cry for change diapers? hungry? scared?

[3] - Mostly at 3rd month the baby is already sleeping 6-8h continuous then you will start to have a "full" sleep.

The important thing is: the firsts months are hard adaptation and you may fight with your spouse because of stress.

"Hang in there" it will get better.

Then maybe add more because the market returns are suppose say 5%, but they are generally much more higher, around 10% over a 15-year period. Over 14-years that money doubles, but the market is performing at 10%, and even higher lately, so that's 7 years. So instead of buying that model 3 in 5-years if you continue adding small increments that Model 3 turns into a Model S in 7-years.

The issue is many people hold a savings account in cash but then inflation eats you up, or they store it in a savings account, but then you break even with inflation. Taking advantage of compound interest is huge.

I've made the claim before, in different words, but to be honest I think the post you're responding to is the clearest summary I've personally written.

Heck, I would have been happy to have had flexbox day one.

I think flexbox covers 'most' folks layout needs fairly easily, and you can learn it fairly easily and get a lot out of even basic flexbox knowledge.

Tables for layout were horrific. We talk about div spam these days but at least they're all just divs and divs follow divs rules. Unlike divs table, tr, td are all different and don't follow the same rules. And the result of table layouts was table inside tr,td in another table and in another table is its own nightmare and gets ultra inflexible and could require whole hog layout changes just to move a widget if the widget was just a bit too big. Tables were horrible.

Just flexbox day one would have been amazing.

This would be v tribal thinking. (to generalise) white people are to blame for racism, but whites university applicants are not to blame for racism.

This paradox arises from the nebulous grouping of "white people" to include all whites, past and present, and ignoring any relevant differences or disproportion of blame.

Hence, a white 18 year old somehow inherits crimes of the past committed by white people in the past. That that white person may have entered the country just a few years ago is not taken into account - It is assumed they receive "white privilege" to amount that justifies any magnitude of countermeasure.
If the art could be treated as an asset for accounting purposes, it would give museums and very strong incentive to collect pieces that command a high price. This would tend to weaken the internal standards of the community of artists and curators in favor of commercial standards. If you are skeptical of internal standards - if you think commercial standards should predominate - why have non-profit museums at all? Why donate to museums?

Even if you're of the opinion that the existing internal norms of the art world are bogus - as I think many are - it does not follow that market norms should supplant internal norms. Internal norms can change through deliberation.

Good for them, well deserved success for the principles, Clojure, and Datomic!

I donated to the Clojure dev fund early on, and I had two consulting customers over a few year period who mandated Clojure. I stopped using Clojure when the paid work stopped because I really like Common Lisp better for my use cases. I have on my radar for sometime this year to update my cooking website [1] that is written in Clojure, so I will at least get a small opportunity to kick the tires on modern day Clojure.

The problem I had with RIPscript was back in the 90s on my Mac there were no RIPscript viewers available. It was a DOS only technology, while the Web worked on not only the Mac but also my FreeBSD box. The company was also trying to make a living off of the tech while Mosaic and Apache were free.

The other aspect was that it was relatively hard to make a RIPscript image. You needed a vector graphics artist. The web went with simple raster graphics instead which opened up the talent pool considerably. The bandwidth and memory constraints that RIPscript were built around were quickly demolished in the 90s as computer power skyrocketed and relatively fast modems became cheap.
But ads have been a thing since the Egyptians started to write sales documents on Papyrus, but it is only in the last 20 years or so analytics have changed the game: I suspect that I might have been slightly of in the previous comment, maybe it is only when analytics can note the effect of individual customers actions that they matter.
I'd consider my Forerunner 220 almost completely un-crippled. I went for a run this morning, tracked it and got pace and distance information the whole time. If I look at my wrist, it tells me correctly that the time is currently 9:49 AM. If I unlock the device and scroll to the History tab, my run, and all previous runs since last September and their details are visible there. It acquires the GPS satellites the same as it always has. If I push the start button, it starts a new run.

It's true that I can't open my phone or PC and view past activities, but that's a very small part of the way I use my watch.

Part of the beauty about a BBS was that you could access it using anything, even an old or spare computer. All you needed was a modem and text display. An old 286 with a CGA card and 640k RAM was the perfect machine for a BBS, and with an EGA card you could dial in to the few RIP boards that existed.

Sure, you could do so much more with an HTML/browser, but you needed megabytes of ram, a high-res graphics card and monitor, a mouse, and OS like Windows or Mac, a fast CPU...

No they are not. They are cleverly triggering people who have chips on their shoulders into behaving like assholes. That's how they thrive. If it wasn't a flat earth it would be something else. It is a special kind of psychology related to trolling (but don't tell them that).
"Who's hiring" thread, here on HN, with one exception, which was IIRC a direct application to their website (it's a known startup that happened to be open to global remote hiring at the time).

The common denominator of most of these offers was that they were in expensive US cities and wanted to hire "talent", but, in these locations, it would probably cost over $200k (esp. including health insurance, retirement contribitions etc. which I wasn't offered) to have their pick. So they were happy to offer $120k-$130k to a comparable remote candidate. BTW they also employed people from cheaper areas of the US.
My job brings me opportunities of scale that I'm unlikely to find elsewhere, and I genuinely enjoy the challenges, but I'd work on something else if they didn't pay me to do it.

It's not that it's not fun, but fun doesn't pay the bills. If it didn't _have_ to pay the bills, I'd probably still develop software but with a very different focus.
Appsec pentester for 6 or so years: The 1-1.2k a day figure (GBP) is relatively low for 2020. I know you mentioned that i's been a while; just trying to shed some light.

Boutique Firm X billed at 285/hr with an average of 60 hours for a small application. That comes out to $2,280 USD a day.

Standard Small Consulting Firm Y billed at 250/hr. In the past 6 years I have yet to see anything below 235/hr, which is still $1880 USD/day (1479, GBP).

Hope that helps, GP.
> It would be an objectively bad thing if every good pizza place in my city went out of business and got replaced with Freschetta

That would just mean that the people prefer Freschetta. It's not like it's going to replace every single good pizza place by getting little to nobody's business, in your scenario where it replaces all restaurants it's going to get all the business because everyone wants lower priced shitty frozen pizza; and that's why these thought experiments are a stretch.

As long as there's still people willing to pay more for a better pizza, there will still be kitchens providing them, and if no one's doing it, that is your cue to open or invest in one and get some of that business yourself.
from lastpass to bitwarden.
Yes, but that [1] is done elsewhere too, yet I do not see this problem.

Just replacing the central office equipment is enough to improve speeds for a larger and larger percentage of users served by the DSLAM in the telephone exchange.

The USA, being a technological superpower for decades, surely has enough resources to replace a few pieces of equipment in the CO and offer users something better.

This is very strange because the new equipment can actually lower costs for the ISP because it is more efficient, easier to manage, more reliable and more compact.

I do not have insight to understand the regulatory landscape and market conditions, however the more I think about it the less of a point I have.

I think you are right about the answer [2], I keep trying to find technical excuses but can't.

This is a sad thing really.

Especially since it costs the same [3] to run the networks in .. [eastern european countries], USA, Russia, Germany, France, Belgium, Australia. No matter the diversity of terrain, the vast scale of the territory, the weather conditions, population density, there is an analogue to USA somewhere, and they don't have it that bad.

[1] neglecting copper in favor of fiber

[2] "because the telecom companies are rabidly anti-consumer."

[3] in general the maintenance and personnel costs may differ due to regulation and market conditions but the equipment costs the same everywhere, and where there is a higher market baseline cost for labor, the ISP can raise the price of services
Apple is retaining ownership of the devices, as mentioned in the article. They are not for sale. The per-device cost is not hugely relevant.

It sounds like a spy novel because spies spy on people who use regular, everyday hardware. A rooted iPhone is an extremely useful tool to that end.
small nitpick, the x220 came out in mid/late 2011 and x230 in mid/late 2012, that's not 12 years ago.

And if you rightfully say "but 9 years is bad enough".. yes, but my x230 is only a little slower than my T460p and if I ignore the mobile Ryzens I don't see how a 2020 Lenovo T would be meaningfully better/faster than my 4 year old T460p.
