> I usually tell students to double major (or minor) if they are privileged to go to college. We as a society have moved away from the idea of renaissance person who has experience in many disciplines towards hyper-specialization

We moved away from that because higher education has gotten exponentially more expensive. I'm sure there are some valid reasons for that (e.g. increasing graduate student TA pay?) as well as terrible ones (e.g. an increase in both administrative execs along with administrative exec pay), but that's what's directly hurting the motivation for experimentation. Only the well-to-do have that privilege now. For others, it's risk and not harmless experimentation.
Pine needles aren’t actually that acidic, especially as they break down. It’s the turpenes that work as a herbicide.

The ground under a pine tree is its own little biome. It tends to be dry most of the year, which in addition to the other allelopathic chemicals, keeps things from germinating.

There has not been a "natural market solution" for housing for two reasons: strict zoning laws, and rent control. Both of those together have caused the housing shortage.
“ For me personally, it feels oppressive to require anything from the person who wronged me. The fact that they wronged me indicates that perhaps they don't value my happiness as much as they should, and now my happiness is predicated on them acting the right way?”

Thanks for that. That is a powerful thought and did help me right now.
Not much, because private money has most of our state legislatures by the neck. it's a money problem, just not in the way that you're saying.
Material models for real time rendering have made tremendous strides in the past ten years. But, they are far from done :)

The good news about Moore's Law is that the massive parallel model of GPUs has meant that they have continued to scale at tremendous rates.

They've had specialized silicon for rasterization and image sampling since the beginning. Video decoding came pretty early. Recently there has been new hardware features for machine learning and ray tracing.

But, the huge leaps in general purpose compute in GPUs is currently leading us back to the stylistic freedom of the earliest days of 3D when software rasterization was first being worked out.

I saw a great quote about the UE5 demo being crazy because "The ray tracing is done in hardware and the rasterization is done is software!" which is a total reversal of the past 20 years.

Rich people know how a frog gets boiled... slowly.
If the alternative is artists not being paid enough to make a living, then one side has to push until the other side loses. The work is being given away so cheaply by tech companies trying to commoditize their complements that there isn't enough money to support both the creators and the distributors. Why should the creators lose by default?

Yes. And there was a time when we literally used paintings to assess progress in a mine. Cars didn't outperform horse carriages for certainly 10, arguably 30 years after their invention.

Trump to Order China's ByteDance to Sell TikTok U.S. Operations
As a California resident, I am pessimistic.

What we need is consolidation and streamlining of expenses, programs and maintenance. This, however, will serve to enable and cover over the poor policies and inefficiencies that are either causing, or at least failing to solve, the many issues we have in California.

I am very sympathetic to the idea, oft raised by critics of capitalism, that economies cannot grow forever. Why, too, would we not have the same critique of government and its services ?
It's not. Conscientious is a very specific set of behaviours.

I was offering an easy answer to the confused wondering of the Atlantic article. The path to success is known. Apparently not as well known as I would have thought. No need to point to the fact that the heterogeneous mess of a "College Degree" as being not a factor.

Yes, there's lots of ways to not succeed. Why not do a very little bit of shallow research and shout out to the roof tops what actually does work?!
Sure. If telling people about the news is making you money, why not share some of the profit from doing that with the newspaper? If you don't do that, aren't you in effect killing the golden goose?
This is troubling.

At the moment ARM lives or dies by the success of the ecosystem as a whole.

When its owned by a customer this may no longer be the case and there are huge potential conflicts of interest. For example, would an Nvidia owned ARM offer a new license to a firm that would be a significant competitor to an existing Nvidia product (eg Tegra)? Will Nvidia hinder the development efforts of other competitors? Will Nvidia give itself access to new designs first? How will it maintain appropriate barriers to the flow of information about competitors new designs to its own design teams?

I can see this getting very significant regulatory scrutiny and rightly so.
Sounds interesting, do you have some links?
Lol, why not a 110% tax
Usually when I see people rant against OOP, they're not ranting in favor of FP (or even better, in favor of something like Scala that combines OOP and FP) but rather in favor of a return to procedural/top-down programming. There are very good reasons that procedural programming was abandoned a long time ago and the need for global variables to make it work is one of the big ones.
The columnar layout thesis ("your fingers move vertically, not horizontally!") is wrong. Your fingers can move both vertically and horizontally, but moving them vertically requires tensioning and releasing the tendons that travel through the carpal tunnel, while moving them from side to side does not. It's the exact opposite of what you want to be doing if you have wrist RSI.

I got partway through an Ergodox build before realizing this and will probably never use this thing.
I did read the link, but i'm not sure how to interpret it, it just mentions that the word application can have several uses. Which, ok it does, but it doesn't sound like it was contradicting anything i wrote about "applications" not being just about specific types of software like productivity or even a subset of "programs" (the GEM manual even shows how it was used in the opposite where an application can be made up of multiple programs).
Not suggesting any sympathy with David Duke, but there's a basic problem with this statement: what is "racist"? The definition depends who you ask, and is constantly in flux.

If I say I'm anti-racist, but disagree with you as to what constitutes "racism", which of us is right and which should be banned? Who gets to judge?
They'll live.
In the US, healthcare is likely the least of your concerns if you're making > $2M/year

Universal healthcare would be great if it brought down the ridiculous costs for basic health services and it helped the growing number of homeless and impoverished escape the cycle. The people who already pay will probably never pay less but it's so frustrating to see bills for thousands on simple things like an x-ray?

My partner recently dislocated her shoulder and we were billed $1,500 to get an x-ray. Nothing crazy just tripped and hit the shoulder the wrong way. We went to immediate care center, after waiting over an hour, the doctor tells us they don't have an x-ray tech on the weekend so we need to go to the hospital emergency center. Still got billed for immediate care visit. Then we go to emergency center, wait almost 3 hours, get an x-ray (nothings broken), they pop it back in (no sedative, no equipment, took literally 5 seconds), a month later we get a bill for almost $5,000 for shoulder surgery! We dispute the charge, get it knocked down to $1,500 (for an "emergency room" x-ray that we waited three hours for and only went because the immediate care center owned by the same org didn't have x-ray tech on the weekend) and after insurance our out of pocket charges are basically the same.

I've had good health care experiences in US but often the charges just have no basis in reality.
That's because it costs a lot to build, because voters have made it difficult by passing strict zoning laws, because they don't want people to be allowed to build.

If the city did find the money, you would then see people opposing transit on the grounds of environmental impact, or noise, or crime, or the "character of the neighborhood". Then the lawsuits would start.
In a strictly military context, is maskirovka. This involves NATO in a non-shooty context, so OP or maskirovka might be valid.
Would this payment also apply to a news startup which shows links from other news agencies and shows up on google. Is google obliged to pay this news site under the law? If so I just found my new internet startup and paying client.
this looks really cool but I'm not sure I can get used to the arrow key layout. I suppose I could do some kind of mapping to turn IJKL into an inverted T arrow key bank.
EVERYONE can tell 128kbp vs FLAC if they listen even a bit. 128kbps was always bad, especially if it's an old upload.

320kbps (which is ~Spotify 'extreme') vs FLAC is a different story, you do need some reasonable (read at least a $30 soundmagic E10 in-ear, not some wunderbar looking designer latest fashion trend on-ear for $200+) equipment and some training to spot that.

EDIT Also doesn't tackle the problem that most people hear music, not see it, so 480p vs 1080p for MUSIC isn't a deal breaker now, is it?
You’re missing profits. Marketshare doesn’t make money. It came out in the Oracle trial during discover that Android had only made Google $22 billion in profit from its introduction through 2016.

https://www.theverge.com/2016/1/21/10810834/android-generate...

It’s also reported that Google pays Apple $8 billion a year to be the default search engine. In other words, Apple makes more on mobile from Google than Google makes from Android.

Well... he was half-right, anyway.
The high tax rate has the opposite effect that most people seem to assume. It attracts and concentrates high-earning people, because they're the only ones who can afford it. If you look at migration stats the category of California residents that grows is the top income quintile.
You're right - I misread the comment. I'd delete my comment if I could.

I'd be okay with only a few select CPUs, if even one of them was a reasonably powerful one. Instead, it's only the bottom of the barrel CPUs performance-wise.

It seems that is changing somewhat with the 4000-series APUs, but guess what, those are only going to be sold to OEMs, not individuals.

It's all rather frustrating, since I'm still on an i7-4770k and wouldn't mind an upgrade.
I respectfully disagree that frameworks and stdlibs for languages like Java and .Net are better due to use of Inheritance. In fact I struggle to come up with a single occasion where use of Inheritance was not an Antipattern. The exception I suppose is when you have no other way to do polymorphic interfaces.
> Seems like a win-win to me. Far right users congregate to a niche platform where they can do as they please, and as a result it's easier for everyone else to ignore them.

It's a real dilemma: pushing these people to niche platforms limits their ability to spread their hateful ideology, but then those same niche platforms could then become radicalizing cesspits for the few that get sucked into them:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pittsburgh_synagogue_shooting:

> Bowers had earlier posted anti-Semitic comments against HIAS (formerly, Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society) on the online social network Gab.[11][12][13] Dor Hadash[14] had participated in HIAS's National Refugee Shabbat the previous week. Referring to Central American migrant caravans and immigrants, Bowers posted on Gab that "HIAS likes to bring invaders in that kill our people. I can't sit by and watch my people get slaughtered. Screw your optics, I'm going in."[15]
This is history repeating itself.

Many of you will be too young to remember this but there was a glut of these companies/constellations in the 1990s. For example, Teledesic [1]. For awhile 20 years ago we had Internet access of international flights. We have it again but there was 10-15 years in the middle where we didn't.

The reason was that there just wasn't that much demand for LEO satellite Internet and the capacity way exceeded demand.

We're at the beginning of another cycle like this. Not all these companies will survive. My money is on Starlink being one of the survivors because SpaceX, of any of these companies, is vertically integrated with the biggest cost: launches. Even better, their launch costs are the lowest.

Maybe Amazon can do this since Bezos also is throwing big money at Blue Origin but, at best, I think Blue Origin is years behind SpaceX.

The US once had an income tax of over 90%
The real problem with OOP is everyone thinks it means Java which encourages stupid management of dependencies. There's also that whole thing about people using it to make concrete things more abstract instead of the other way around.
No they aren’t. We in fact know this from the Oracle lawsuit.

For the time being, sure. Until they find they next way to conceal their tracking, and Apple has to find a new OS-level mechanism to prevent it.

Sorry to hijack your answer here. But you pointed me to the pmohackbook, I read it, and it is helping me a lot. Thanks so much. (Couldn’t reply to older thread)
It’s still possible to batch composition and production with this release model. The lead time saved from releasing digital only can be used to polish the earlier tracks in the schedule.
Perfect, incredibly sweet irony in quoting THAT song in reference to increasing taxes on the super rich.

You win HN today.
I live in California. Unfortunately you're going to be disappointed - California has the highest tax rates and the worst infrastructure. The failure to solve these problems isn't due to having too little money (states and countries with a fraction of California's wealth have solved these problems).
In the absence of any other known reason, this seems to be the most likely explanation.

But yeah, you are correct, there is no factual officially stated reason, and I wouldn't expect Apple to publicly bring it out ever either.
I don't know, but it's not far-left to be against fascism, either.
There are however google search results for "Happy people don't need to tell themselves they are happy, they just are". So maybe it transformed telling into asking, on a grammatical level?

I like the idea of using generated dialog for NPCs in those kinds of circumstances where dynamic dialog makes sense.

As an author I can assure you that writers block is a different animal. Being blocked on fiction happens because you don't know what comes next, and no amount of generative help will clarify a story.

Novels aren't written one paragraph at a time, moving inexorably forward. Generating another sentence to get over the hump would only push a lost novice even farther into the wilderness.

I do believe you could replace 95% of the comedy accounts on Twitter though.
I love privacy, but if seeing worse ads is all that's been won, seems weaksauce.
How do you engage your audience without giving them anything? With just word play? And are we all forgetting the context of GPT-3 and the post I was replying to?

Also Jay-Z isn't every rapper. I'm pretty sure even Jay-Z would agree most rap is not very substantive or saying anything new. It's cookie cutter.
I use an ad hoc stack:

First I Google the recipe I want to make. Then, browse to the least insane looking recipe while using an ad blocker.

Then I angrily scroll through a pointless personal story to get to the actual recipe.

I do that a couple times to triangulate on what actually works, keeping an eye on comments and ratings.

Finally I bookmark successful recipes and never visit them again.
I suspect that the ideal language (at least for human use) is one that is just shy of Turing completeness. Once a program compiles and an initial configuration phase has passed all loops would be bounded and all recursions would be guaranteed to terminate. Except for the case of programs that aren't supposed to terminate for which there would be a single construct allowing wrapping everything inside one and only one infinite loop.
This attitude gives us ever less eficicent software that endlessly gobbles up resources for no good reason.
Is nvidia seriously going to get into ARM business? Are they going to grok the business of embedded development and microcontrollers? I can't help but think that this would mean the end of ARM as we know it.
I don’t even mind the advertising. I mind the stalking. I would be more than willing to tolerate more ads if it meant fewer trackers.
Hi everyone.

We noticed it's surprisingly hard to answer some simple questions about our finances. Although personal finance and budgeting tools exist, we wanted an easy way to search our transactions that didn't involve creating and maintaining a budget.

Fion is a new personal finance app that lets you search your spending, across all your cards.

We're still in early access, but we're excited to show the HN community a preview of what's to come.

You don't think satellite internet is break even without government funding? I have a hard time seeing it either, but I just can't see much market outside of military use. Maybe they're assuming 90% of their income will come from that.
Yup. Musicians are releasing like 20 new tracks per hour to Jango. I know because I'm on a mission to collect all of it. And like 71% is from independent artists who will never make it big and nobody will listen to. Not even me even though I like obscure stuff but even I can't keep up with the amount of new music that gets released all day every day.
So, Google would index the social media pages of those corporations.

With even declining revenue
Uh-oh... if all news sites had a drop of 90% of traffic pretty sure the monopoly bells would start ringing!

If this is being done on purpose to make a case, it's a goddamn genius move - next level chess.

Google could be in a tight spot.
> Well, well, well. Some months from now, let's revisit all the sentiments here and see if they still apply when Apple/Google/etc make a change that hurts some startup's bottom line.

You seem to think context doesn't matter. If a startup makes a privacy invasive product and "Apple/Google/etc" put protections in place that harm that product then they've done a service to their customers. This is not a problem.

We can judge their other actions as necessary and in context.

In my opinion, the case against inheritance is strong, but it’s in favor of composition, which is still often object oriented.
As someone who uses an advantage kinesis & dvorak, laptops & dvorak, and other people's computers & qwerty:

You get used to switching back and forth in ~2 weeks.

If you spend all your day typing, definitely spend the $ and the time to learn to type on an ergonomic keyboard with good quality switches. I think the kinesis or maltron have the best research on their ergonomics & build quality. I highly recommend them.
no. they're isolated for a reason, with the RISC-V processor being used as the controller to manage the behavior of the other parts of the chip. beyond just licensing ARM is expensive because it's required to implement a lot. With that chip being RISC-V they can make it as minimal and perfectly tuned as possible, so it's slow when it can afford to be cheap and fast when it needs to be.
It's not the cost per se, though I do think they're pretty high for some features. It's the pricing models and the associated patterns.

For instance, you have to pay Datadog per host you install the agent on. In addition to the per host cost, you have to pay per container you run on that host (past a very small baseline per host), and the per contain cost turns out to be nearly as high as the per host cost if you have reasonable density. Why am I paying Datadog per container I run? Aside from a not particularly useful dashboard, why does a process namespace and some cgroup metrics nearly double my bill? They are literally just processes on a server. Because Datadog wants you to run more hosts, so you install more agents.

Every feature they add also seems to be charged separately, but is not behind any sort of feature gate. This means new features just show up for my developers, and they have no clue if it costs money to use them. I can't just disable or cap, for example, their custom metrics per user, per project, or at all. So when my developers see a useful feature and start using it, all of a sudden I have an extra $10k on my monthly bill. Even more fun are features that show up and are initially free but then start charging.

This is such a pain that we've had to tell dev teams not to use Datadog features outside of a curate list. Every product has some rough edges, but with Datadog the patterns are all setup such that you end up paying them thousands of extra dollars. Again, great product, but not a business I would be interested in associating with again given the choice.
Australia may not be in NATO but they're still British Commonwealth, and in communion with the UK and Canada (who are founding NATO members) as well as the US.

Pick a fight with Australia and the ANZUS Treaty comes into force, and if the ANAZACs are in a fight, the US and UK will almost certainly be involved.

I think he just sees the norms of traditional songwriting as not his job. If I'm the CEO of Chipotle, I'm going to focus on getting my customers good food at reasonable prices, and I'm not gonna take it tremendously seriously if chefs complain they can't express creativity well in my kitchens.
Is anyone in the USA actually starving? That's a common thing brought up, but calories are so cheap in the US that most poor people are actually morbidly obese, not starving. Even if you were starving, you could easily subsist panhandling at some traffic intersection. How long does it take to panhandle $10? An hour or two? And with that you could buy a 15 pound bag of rice which is like a months' worth of carbs.

Starvation is a problem for Africa, not the USA.
