The point of doing it is to understand how Linux hangs together, to remove the mystery in the wiring.

I don't think it's worth pursuing to a GUI, unless you have a burning desire to customize or fix brokenness in that experience you've had on other Linuxes.

The point is definitely not to continuously manage your own distro you built from scratch, unless that's your job or hobby.

I use the knowledge I gained from the experience to debug many random instances of brokenness on Linux, both personally and professionally. It also made compiling from source a fairly comfy option when necessary (e.g. you need to fork, or backport a piece of software).

What number of companies still operate in the same form for several decades? A company dying isn't necessarily a negative. The assets don't get set on fire; the people working there don't disappear into a black hole. Investors might get fleeced, but overall the assets and people are used to others end, for which investors in these ends benefit. The worst outcome are those zombie companies that only exist for the sake of existing.
I'm pretty sure humans will always value human life - on their own team. The greater danger is dehumanizing enemy humans which is a common technique to motivate soldiers to kill each other.
superbly interesting read
I thought it was the exact same case with the Basecamp product.

But nobody is bringing it up, so there must be some qualitative differences, are there?
You could refuse to transact any tumbler output.
Ah, things makes a lot more sense now.

Thank you for explaining it so clearly.
Identifying a gap in our understanding of something can be as conversely significant as a given finding. I take umbrage with allowing reductionism to prevent consideration of other ideas where it fails to explain something. I know it's not scientific to suppose the balance of life's complex systems is deterministic, but if you look at population dynamics a possible explanation is homeostasis as the destination state. The motivations of the individual be damned, life seems to find a balance. Perhaps our understanding of what's really going on in the biosphere is as limited as the perspective of an immune cell in the human body. Just saying, determinism might not be terribly scientific, but it's still worth considering in the context of what we can't explain with reductionism. You have to admit, what we're all experiencing right now, life, is pretty flippin' remarkable.
Companies are allowed to take on WAY more operating debt than in previous decades (especially in tech VC!) - whether this is rational or otherwise (I personally think this trend is fucking insane), these comparisons are not apt.
I have to pay extra in my electricity, phone and postal fees to cover the extra expense of rural service as mandated by law. (and phone service, and a whole bunch more)

I have to pony up some insane percentage of my taxes for farm subsidies.

A bunch of my tax money goes to the schools set up in rural areas too.

I have to pay for a bunch of county roads that are rarely used by a handful of families out in the country.

I don't get to forgo taxes on gasoline I use to get to work.

These are all laws of equitable discrimination - prior to them cities were getting ahead of rural areas by leaps and bounds, so the laws were passed to help rural folks maintain an equitable place in society. By having these in place it's much harder to point to a person and say "look they are from the country, they're not going to be good at tech since they didn't have access as a kid".

Growing up rural is just as much an accident of birth as race, why are you not complaining about all the special benefits you got? I could make a pretty solid argument that I was was the victim of equitable discrimination since I didn't get any rural benefits growing up. Is it because they don't feel special, and that maybe you still had some hardship as a result?

The goal of the equitable discrimination you're against is to get that same level of "its not special" (good or bad) for folks of all races, just like it is for folks who grew up in rural places.

After that, we can maybe strive for even more equitable society.
I'm in europe, unions are mandatory everywhere, some are good, some are not, average just do what the company wants them to, usually the 2-3% raise every year.

Unions don't really work for software, high demand, low supply of people, here you can negotiate better then without one, and if you are not happy, next job.
No, what AlphaGo does should never be considered "intuition". It is simply using perfect information to optimize its probability of winning. We have no idea what intuition is or how it works. That's why we have learned literally nothing from AlphaGo. In fact, players who have played against it have often gotten worse.
Intuition is very obviously much more than pattern matching. You need thought and probably some form of language to employ it, both of which we have very little understanding of.
And you should.

“Casual” video gaming, a term that carries unfortunate dismissive undertones, represents the most common form of video games played. The proliferation of the smart phone has undoubtedly helped here.

Probably more so pre-pandemic. My observation when I lived in Chicago is that many people played these games while commuting via mass transit, I’m sure fewer are doing that now.
Neither should be offenses that cause someone to go to prison. Criminal justice reform is so badly needed in this country.
Can they (and other developers) join Epic's lawsuit? It would presumably be good for the industry if several players worked together to formulate the legal case against Apple's policies.
Except they’re being new and without market share is exactly why they’re cheaper. Epic isn’t running an altruistic enterprise here.

It was telling that after circumventing Apple’s 30%, they didn’t offer their goods 30% cheaper - or even 18% cheaper (reflective of the 12% they think is “fair” in their own store), they made it 10% cheaper for the user, and kept 8% more for themselves than other developers on their own Epic platform would get.

Absolutely the App Store does a lot of discovery - just ask anyone what being a featured app does.

I find plenty of apps by searching.

Anyone whiteknighting for epic here is going to be disappointed in 5 years when they’re either successful with their store and raking other devs over the coals or they’ve shut their store down completely.
I don't agree with OP as the college is the victim here of some semi-embezzlement (admission slots being used for employee benefit).

That said, I'm always a bit miffed by the enthusiasm for prosecuting the person bribing rather than the person accepting the bribe. It's not just in bribery. You see the same targeting of the interloper in cases of adultery. It's like everything was perfectly fine until contracts and vows were broken due to temptation alone.

We should be cutting deals with everyone that offered a bribe and nailing people to the wall you accepted the bribes. They are the ones truly stealing. The others are buying stolen property (certainly also bad).
It's much harder to launder $100mn with gift cards. That's easy with Bitcoin.
No, this is ridiculous. It's absolutely a concern. Having attitude control at stall speeds makes for impressive air shows but doesn't help even slightly against an oncoming missile.

Sure you can point the nose wherever you feel like, but from the missile's perspective all you've done is given up your ability to make abrupt changes in direction and made its job of predicting your future location easier. Without lift under the wings, you're spinning the plane around on its axis but you're not actually changing the plane's motion vector as much as if you'd made a coordinated turn.

And on top of all this, a missile doesn't actually have to hit you directly to kill you. Missiles are proximity fuzed, so simply blow up next to you. Even a fancy 10G maneuver (a maneuver with thrust-vectoring while stalled, by the way, is ~0-1G since you're mostly just a ballistic object) isn't going to help much against a missile at Mach 4 that can pull 50G.
Epic's own game store. They aren't doing this out of the goodness of their heart
I would shorten the copy to be more effective.
It's amazing how profitable it is to sell spyware to countries that have repeatedly demonstrated a disdain for basic human rights.

Yet it prints stuff to the terminal.
This is an interesting perspective that I think may exhibit itself in many domains. I’m reminded of the fact that the sub-four minute mile was impossible and then when it was first broken, many others completed the same feat in a relatively short period of time

Never use std::move on an rvalue. That is always wrong, and shows a misunderstanding of std::move.

std::move doesn't move. It should maybe have been called std::lvalue_to_rvalue.
Their crypto is state of the art, but their ops sec threat model does not include “we’ll torture you or go to your mobile operator and their would cooperate fully”. So signal is good for USA, not so good for 3rd world countries. This people making decisions in Signal live in a different world then most of the people who need secure comms. Well telegram have us covered. Sadly, if you stop trusting Durov - you are screwed. Signal is much better in that regard.
The N programming language (1990?) is spookily reminiscent of PyTorch!

> Expecting a wide use of neural network algorithms in the near future, our objective is to get a complete software development environment for programming and testing new applications. We intend to produce a high level language for neural network specification, as a part of such an environment.

> The language we propose is characterized by a high degree of modularity, based on parameterizable data structures, with functionalities in the form of update methods attached to them. Composition rules of structures and methods enable to build, step by step, more complex structures from smaller ones previously defined. Objects are viewed as autonomous modules which are linked through plugs for communications. We particularly cared for the parallelization of methods running concurrently on different objects of the network. The syntax is largely related to those of the C and C++ languages.

Ask HN: Are all analytics violating user privacy?
I am building an analytics platform myself, and have often seen comments from other users on HN saying that all client-side analytics are evil, or even that all analytics are bad and violate user privacy.

Are analytics evil, even if their sole purpose is to improve user experience?
Let's say that we are building the infrastructure in a city, if we had stats on what streets have daily traffic jams, that would tell us a lot about the behavior of the people, but would also allow us to better direct traffic and reduce those issues.

Where do we draw the line?

I do agree that any analytics selling or mining or for the purpose of persuading users into buying more stuff they don't need or make them spend more time in Instagram are not really ethical, but we can still have legitimate use cases for analytics whose sole purpose is to make the user experience better, even at the expense of some privacy (in a public space/website).
I very highly doubt around double the amount of ”official” voters would have a second belarussian number.
I've actually talked to our lawyers and investors about some of these.

1.) More than 3 months expiration gets tricky legally and I'm not sure it's actually fair. At that point I'm told we can't grant them as ISOs, they have to be NSOs or RSUs which could have poor tax profiles. Investors are also not keen, because you're basically giving free optionality that pretty much nobody else has. Essentially a 10 year exercise window means you get to just wait and see and only put in money when it's a sure thing. You don't even need to put in time if the option is vested. This while others who come later likely can't benefit from the same treatment (because the awards will be taxable as NSOs, and at that point more than trivial in paper value), and while investors and founders have put in cash to purchase the shares.

2.) Early exercise we have offered and will continue to offer. It's tricky because those have to be NSOs as well, but it's totally something we do. We have given signing bonuses (I hate doing this as a general rule, but it's what we have to do to get the talent), could look at making that more tied to the early exercise in some way. Again I'm not sure how the tax side plays out for the employee though. Generally this is something I support, glad to see it'd be helpful.

3.) I'm not sure what restrictions we have but I think we do restrict secondaries. For very early stage companies it's hard to write these promises of future purchases down, there's too much uncertainty on how they plays out over the long term. It can spook investors to have non-standard clauses like this, and the lawyers get very upset which means they charge us more money. That said, it's worth thinking about how to accomplish the same outcome.

Keep in mind we are paying a decent base salary. It's actually strange to me how the compensation market in the bay area essentially discounts base pay because FAANG have had insane stock trajectories. When we recruit in other markets base pay is the main negotiating point, not equity.

Thanks for the feedback, this is helpful!
Slightly off-topic, but I've been wanting an HDMI Freeze button for a while.

I looked at the auvidea link that kayfox suggested, and could probably implement it in software on an RPi. But that has limited resolution and frame rate (25 fps).

For a feature built into most projectors, I'm surprised there's no products to do this.
Actually, they do. USC will give you full ride your parents make under $80,000.
How anti-trust laws are used to stop independent contractors from organizing [pdf]
The defender in this scenario has a seriously disadvantage, in that the local SAM sites can send many missiles at the same time, and the anti-missile suite of the plane has to defeat every single one. A gun that would succeed in this scenario would be a massive technological leap. The US Navy uses gun-based anti-missile setups, but they are more of a last ditch sort of defense that can defeat a small number of incoming missiles by putting an absurd amount of bullets in their way.
This all sounds more like a preference than a fact.
Scariest shit I ever did was help pull a completely full anhydrous ammonia tank out of a 6 foot ditch. The trailer it was attached to had slid off the gravel road and twisted upside down in the ditch, some nearby farmer bringing it home from fillup. And it was not made to be picked up at all when full, but you know smaller farmer not wanting to lose his ass and farm with it by calling out some hazmat crew to drain it and transfer it. Used an excavator with a chains to very carefully pick it up and roll it out onto the road so they could pull it onto another trailer. If that fucker cracked open basically all of us down in that little valley would have died horribly. But doing dangerous as fuck shit on the cheap is the only way these small time farmers are holding on in the face of corporate monoculture farms, and hope they can survive long enough for those corporate farms to leave the area when the soil is depleted and worthless from their unsustainable practices.
> >"-Ofast" same as "-O3 -ffast-math"

That depends on the language and the GCC version.

> -ffast-math makes the compiler violate IEEE, it would make a very bad default.

Yes, but unfortunately it's the Intel default, which contributes to some of the compiler mythology.

Regarding unrolling, you usually do want it in numeric loops, and -O3 unrolls (and jams) as -fopt-info shows.
I've been making sure to run the latest kernels and latest mesa Mesa, and my 5700xt has been great. But, I agree that the 5700 series had some serious issues in its original kernel releases.
Why wouldn't you count Candy Crush? It seems like it would fall under any reasonable definition of video game.
I mean that's like saying "banning insider trading/securities fraud won't work, because people will still do it". Yeah, they might, but I find it hard to believe that an executive is loyal to their company to the extent that they'll risk year of jail time for it.
I absolutely despise marketing, sales and advertisement.
The reason is simple, they are in the business of making you feel bad with what you've got and try to sell you something to momentarily make you feel better. And let's not forget how much better the planet would be if we didn't buy garbage and took unnecessary vanity trips.

I believe the world would be a much better place without magazines, billboards, etc.

Regarding your SaS... you should definitely not engage in unnecessary conversion emails because developers also hate that.
The nice thing about Phi was it that it looked like a lot of x86's. It was easy to program something, but, unfortunately, harder to make it perform like a similarly priced GPU. It was sold for HPC, but I saw it as an interesting way to explore what future Intel desktop and server CPUs could look like - core counts will only go up, after all. The last generation, with virtualization and the previous one, adding up to 16 GB of in-module memory that could either be system memory or behave like an L4 cache (as a comparison, IBM's latest z15 mainframe has about a gigabyte of L4 per 4-socket drawer).

Too bad it never found its niche - it was too slow for HPC, lacked virtualization for servers and was ludicrously expensive (and hot) for desktops.
So, if we're so close, why isn't immortality capturing public interest yet? Ideas:

Religion - Among other things, religion's goal is to help people endure the inevitability of death. Thus, to many, this is a solved problem.

The age divide - Older people have the immediate need, but their ideas about tech are by now set in concrete. The young are open to more radical tech, but dying of old age isn't an immediate threat to them. Nor do these two cultures tend to mix.

Technological pessimism - There was a lot of overblown technological optimism in the mid-century, but the pendulum has since swung the other way. The word "chemical" no longer has positive connotations in popular culture, for example.
Yeah, I thought someone had died.
Exactly this has been attempted for a limited time in 2018, https://hacks.mozilla.org/2018/10/a-new-way-to-support-mdn/, and pretty much nobody actually paid.
What has happened in 2020 that was far fetched?
Isn’t Visa/MasterCard the unified payment platform?

Obviously the iPhone is worthless without software, except it comes with a 1k price tag. Part of that is for the OS. The hardware certainly doesn’t cost that much (comparable offerings from hardware-only manufacturers cost less). This is not a case where the hardware cost is subsidized. Numbers from various sources suggest the iPhone sells for triple the cost of manufacturing.
Apple's case does not "hinge" on being consistent with all app developers. Every app that Apple distributes could in theory be the result of a one-on-one negotiation.
> Analysts point out that almost half of the accounted three billion are those who play only on smartphones or mobile devices. This segment is also ahead of all others in terms of growth.

This segment is incredibly lucrative for the winners. Niantic has an estimated revenue of 800 million dollars. Supercell's highest reported revenue was just over 2 billion euros. King sold to Activision Blizzard for 5.9 billion dollars in 2016. Epic is going to war with Google and Apple over Fornite money. There's Asian players that are also impressive, but I'm not familiar enough to speak on that market. These revenues and valuations are happening in a high growth market.
I could see a hybrid approach, where a bunch of drones are loaded into a mothership, possibly a repurposed bomber with a bomb bay full of drones. That gives you local control of the swarm, and a way to deliver them over much longer range.
It used to be a blog. Thanks for letting me know.
In this case though the problem was trying to use a feature OP didn't understand.

The straightforward naive code is also the best code, here. So it's not an example of what you describe. In fact at least on stl containers, and your own classes with such members, move semantics "just works". Rebuild the same c++98 code with c++11 and it just skips needless copies as part of the language, not implementation.

And it's not about second-guessing. The confusion here is not about the compiler implementation. It's about the language.
Also heats up the room.
> What is it about our culture (is it mostly a western culture thing?) that is so obsessed with the question of identity?

There are a lot of people now who don't have the traditional anchors that answered these questions for people. Religion has always been a big one - and shows how important group membership or not has always been, with often deadly consequences - but it's less important to many people today than in many times in the past in the west.

Many people also no longer have a lot of the pure "I do these things because they are necessary for mine and others' survival" driving factors in our life. Most jobs, at an individual level, could be given up without much impact on everyone else. Often even the person who quit would still land in a safety net and still survive fairly easily.

And a lot of these changes have a lot of benefits. It's good that you can fail at a job, it's good you can have more free time, it's good you don't have to belong to the same church or stay in the same place as everyone you group with.

But then what do you replace it with, if you seek your own way? You have to answer that question yourself.
One of the proposed dark matter explanations is "massive astrophysical compact halo objects" (MACHOs). Brown dwarfs are among some of the possible MACHO candidates.
It’s no more unsafe as using whatsapp or some other similar service. To be fair, if most of my relatives would not use whatsapp, i would’ve turned 100% telegram already.
I have one (1st generation), and I'd say it's ok, but not great. The hardware is actually quite nice, but the device is held back by the quality of the software. My main sticking point is that it's impossible to move writing to the next page, something that I want to do all the time: rearrange my handwritten notes. Using Goodnotes on the iPad Pro is an infinitely better experience, except for one really big selling point of the ReMarkable: battery life and outdoor use (in the sun). You can keep it in your backpack for weeks and not worry about it. The friction of the pen on the writing surface on the ReMarkable is also quite a bit nicer, although having a Paperlike screen protector on the iPad helps
You don't think there'd be a bunch of compounding design decisions available to engineers? Pilots currently black out in high G situations so the flying envelope is basically constrained to acceleration / turning radii that are at the edges of pilot abilities. Sure if you removed the pilot in current planes, you'd be able to hit the extremes of that envelope, but if you were to redesign it without ever thinking of a physical pilot, you could have a much wider envelope. What would they be capable of?

Something like this but with a ~full-size airplane:

The word ‘platform’ is being abused so much it does not mean anything today, but telegram is a platform indeed:
1. Bots allow you to develop automations and services inside
2. Channels allow publishers to have very easy to use blogs
3. Chats (with bots! Admin bots!) allow unlimited collaboration. Have you ever seen tens of thousands people in a chat? Public chats with anonymity protections?

It is a real platform.
In addition to the significant issues pointed out by comex and tylerhou, NRVO is not in play here as `gfx` is not a non-volatile object with automatic storage duration.
