And the fastest implementations aren't the fastest either, I was able to knock about 10% off one of the Java examples from 2010. I suspect the C# folks were a lot more motivated to "prove" that C# was no longer slow.

As others have pointed out, if you want to test C#'s ability to call C-functions in an unsafe way, then fair enough. Otherwise, with memory safety enabled, they are roughly comparable.

That said, I did port the C# version to Java and it added about 20% extra time, even with some of the cheats (algorithm optimizations) it has implemented.
So I only looked at the website and docs as this is a something I have interest in. I'd be mainly interested in knowing how much results are already semantically structured. Example: FDA approval, earnings report filings, ...would I have to do this on top or will you provide fine-grained categories?
I assume the iso files are mounted readonly, yes? Or no? Esp. if no, how does it work?
In order to get over camera shyness and also to build up career capital, I started a YouTube channel four months. It's now reached 1.4k subscribers.

Topics:

— behind the scenes code and marketing tours of my 1-man web-app biz (it's been running for 10 years and while it doesn't earn big bucks, it provides for all my financial needs)

— "timeless" programming concepts (e.g. unix, vim, testing, checklists for reducing errors, data constraints)

Not quite live-streaming yet, but I think I'll be ready to go real-time soon.

I would say that three months of YouTubing has been incredibly rewarding. More so than a decade of blogging. The main reason is because you generate a much stronger bond with your audience when they see your face and hear your voice. I've received lots of thank-you emails and video call invites from really interesting people around the world.

Here's the channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC17mJJnvzAa_e9qQqLIfIeQ

As if Amazon and Google are saints. Even if they colluded to "block" Apple (which would be illegal), millions of people would still continue using Apple.
I disagree with his assumptions and logic. Basically he is saying because you don’t need to live near work, people will not live in Manhattan.

There are plenty of jobs outside of NYC. Always has been. People live in NYC for the culture and lifestyle. It is a fun place to live. It will absolutely rebound.

This is trivial compared to 9/11. Yet NYC rebounded.
Nintendo's track record with online is truly bizarre.

They clearly have some phenomenal tech chops in the company. Iwata hand rolled a compression algorithm and Nintendo were in the internet game waaaaay early and had aspirations of being an ISP with their Famicom Modem in the 80s.

That said their web infra just seems so janky and backwards - I've heard excuses like the friction wrt online gaming keeps it family friendly and helps disincentive trolling.

Nintendo has also always been more focused on in person social which works well in Japan where console market penetration is very high, gaming in public is normal (both socially and public crime/mugging doesn't exist) and population density is high. Monhun (Monster Hunter culture) being a great example of JP cultural gaming trends that didn't export nearly so well outside of Japan. (did ok-ish in Asia). [--aside: Must have been so ace to have monhun parties after work /sigh--]

If Nintendo could make their estore more optimized for UX (think Amazon or Apple App Store / Google Play Store) I feel like they would be a money printing machine.

Of Sony, MS, Nintendo, Nintendo are the only pure games company and those marketplaces are fantastic cash cows...
Admittedly arm-chair judging Kubernetes. I do not have production experience with it. That said, I always wondered why and how critical infrastructure such as banking would choose to use Kubernetes, even more so when it was in its early days. Wouldn’t the complexity of that thing, and the layers of magic/abstraction it brings deter a sane architect to steer away from it for critical stuff?

It may have matured better now, and may have seen more battle stories, but why bring those to a startup that does banking!?

May be not the kind of argument that entertains HN audience, but early in my career, I worked as part of a team consulting several financial companies and they all had one thing in common - boring, but reliable infrastructure and change management. It is true that it was a slow innovation cycle, but to them the stability and reliability of business Was more important than being able to push thousands of changes to production everyday. I was once part of a change review team for a release that was meticulously reviewing changes before a release that happened every 6 months to this business critical application. A stark contrast to today’s devOps processes that push changes way to often and break things way too often.

Hey I took pre-bacc math! At a Cal JCC but still... even my community college math classes were way harder than my "prestigious" undergrad institution which like Caltech is basically impossible to fail out from. Especially if you play a sport! Hockey and football teams got 1 page cheat sheets on exams which was outrageous.

Sorry no, my last PSU purchase was 8 years ago -- an 850W modular Corsair PSU, and since then I basically have had zero worries about PSUs. As such, I haven't kept up with the market.

Back in the day I'd have told you to look at HardOCP PSU reviews, but that's long gone now.

Yes, they are rather expensive, but nothing IMHO beats them, I first saw them a few years ago (the 222 type) in the hands of electricians working for musical events/stage settings, then I bought a set of 221 type and simply fell in love with them, they are very, very handy and safer (besides faster in installation) than both twist-ons (which are not very used here in Italy) and screw connectors which are normal here.

Recently a reknown Italian manufacturer[0] started producing similar ones and they are getting more common.

"I cannot verify this, but Telegram said years ago that they solved certain problems by routing keys and messages through different datacenters in different jurisdictions."

Firstly, there is no proof of this happening. I've been looking for the documentation and/or source code for this for more than five years now, and it's never been published.

Secondly, even IF it was happening, the server that strips the in-transit encryption has access to the plaintext, and can copy the message to anywhere it damn pleases. It can write it to "plaintext-messages.txt" for all it cares, that's like two lines of Python in the backend.

Also, the servers creating database entries must by definition have the full database encryption key in its RAM, from where privileged processes can exfiltrate it (computer organization 101).

The thing is, there isn't technology out there that allows Telegram to do what it claims as securely as it claims. If they are indeed innovating on this, why aren't they publishing their research and proving their worth?

"they seem remarkable competent at certain aspects of what they do"

Yeah, you can be great at UX design and shitty at cryptography. That's perfectly fine. The fact they won't spend money to hire competent cryptographers is the shitty part. I don't know if it's this Russian pride wrt. Nikolai being an award winning mathematician, or if they don't really give a fuck and think damage control can mend the damage that resulted from nepotism.

Well, the first time they get hacked properly shows how shit the architecture was. We can only hope people will then ask "ok where the fuck did we go wrong, again, can we switch to something that fixed this once and for all", and that by then, Signal is usable enough for their needs.
The only operating that still costs money and still spams its users with third-party ads.

In any case, you can publish for macOS without paying Apple anything too, you just have to convince your users to bypass Gatekeeper for your app.
I have actually by now upgraded nearly every single component and not had any issues, for example I changed the Quadro K2000 to a FirePro W7100 which required external power, added a WiFi card, added 116GB more RAM, etc. Sure, the PSU is a proprietary form factor, but that has its own advantages in the packaging i.e. this one interlocks into the case in such a way that there isn't any cable management to be done and it has a push-to-release mechanism that allows it to be switched out in around 5 seconds without unplugging anything. Yes, if I needed to source a replacement I'd have to do some digging and find a DELL one specifically, but it's a trade-off to be aware of.

At the moment there are 20+ DELL precision workstations on Gumtree in just my local suburb.
Doesn't feel light to setup if you're trying to get a tunnel working between different providers. We had a strange dead peer issue between Fortigate and Mikrotik and could never figure it out as it happened so rarely. All phase 1 and phase 2 settings were identical.

The output is different between find and ls when you run it on another directory.

The European Union has its problems but it's good to see it contributing to world heritage preservation by funding 105M to help preserve Pompeii. I sent a day wandering around Pompeii in 2010, it's well worth a visit and is easily doable as a day trip from Rome if your ever there.
You can also wait until the emulators catch up. I recently played Breath of the Wild in 4K 75 FPS on the PC.

I have a multi-boot MacBook Pro 2007 with Mac OS 10.4, 10.5, 10.6, 10.7, 10.8, 10.9, 10.10, 10.11, Windows Tiny7, Windows XP, and Ubuntu.

It's been useful to boot into WinXP to play AoE or WoW, or Mac OS 10.9 to run p0sixspwn to jailbreak an iPhone 4S. The laptop has a 2 TB drive, and a lot of legacy software just in case I need to open some obscure file (e.g. AppleWorks).

I regularly find old laptops in the trash, and friends like it very much when I repair them and give them away. Some only boot Win10, others only Win7 (x64 or x32), and the oldest only XP. As for why you'd want various Linux distros, I imagine it's a similar platform-sensitivity issue.

I wish there were a bundle pack of USB drives with installers for all Windows and Mac OS versions, so I could just pick out the right installer and install. And another bundle of live USBs. Carrying around lots of USB sticks would be bulky, but somehow I expect it to be more reliable than Ventoy - my experience with the Zalman ZM-VE350 has never been reliable enough to replace an external CD drive.
I think scientific progress was not a main concern of Stallman, but definitely something he foresaw as a side effect of liberating things. He often goes back to that printer driver story, but it is an anecdote of the past. His idea is about ethics though, which means that usefulness is a secondary aspect. I think he is aware of the importance of Free Software for science.

I find it quite sad, when some bright mind gets some research done, but is so unaware and so uninformed about the things, whIch actually made their research possible in the first place and does not give appropriate mention to Free Software. It makes me feel like: "Yes yes, you are great and all, but without these tools open and free to everyone, you would probably have accomplished none of that."

So I wish more people got behind Free Software and behind humanity's progress, in social matters as well as technological matters. Perhaps take a short time a few days each week To try to contribute or create simething free. Also good if it is learning resources, a free book for learning something in your area of expertise, comments and explanations for going through a book,anything really, and release it in libre terms.
I talked to an executive at Skillz a few years ago and she told me that one of their main growth strategies was actually to target prospective women that could be gamers. The way it worked was that a few of Skillz executives were in this market, women who loved video gaming but businesses at the time refused to recognize it.

Imagine a woman who plays mobile games just to kill time at the bus stop, etc. Exec told me that she had friends like this and she has really easily gotten them to adopt all sorts of gaming and knew how easy it was to do this.

So when they looked at it like that, the market for people who were ignored was massive and that's one of the reasons why they grew so fast.

I think another underserved video game niche is our elderly... but maybe that's a separate discussion
That's now how I read it. The treatment allows T-cells to do what they'd normally do to any other infection. And, from the first paragraph, should "enable the immune system of people who are HIV positive to permanently eliminate HIV from their body."

Sounds like you’re in agreement with the statement that it’s far from an oasis?
That makes it sound like you're not already paying VAT.
I think this is confusing efficiency with overfitting. A lot of the problems described in the article arise due to overfitting models to the historical data. We overfited supply chain management because covid doesn't happen often, we overfited credit modeling because chain reaction of default doesn't happen often... We actually weren't efficient enough, we ignored tail events.

> Most things people seem to think are running on blockchain tech turn out not to be, so I'd be interested in any evidence here. Nonetheless.

There's a few such systems in production - in practice, they tend to use a private Ethereum or Hyperledger as a back-end data store, and 100% of the use case for using a blockchain for your private back-end data store is being able to say "blockchain!" in the press release.
I feel you, it was just fun to do, where did all the extra stuff come from?
I think it would be illegal in Australia.

Credit card networks have charges, and they used to tell businesses “you’re not allowed to pass this fee on to your customers”. I don’t know if they try to maintain this rule elsewhere, but this was confirmed to be illegal at some point in Australia (I dunno, maybe 10–15 years ago? I can’t immediately find a reference to the decision), so some businesses will say things like “1.5% surcharge for using Visa/Mastercard” (per https://www.accc.gov.au/consumers/prices-surcharges-receipts..., the surcharge isn’t supposed to exceed the merchant’s actual costs; in practice I suspect it regularly does on small businesses, so that they can state a simple percentage rather than calculate more precise figures that vary by payment type).

If Apple tried to tell an Australian business “you may not pass the 30% fee on to your users”, I expect that business could appeal to… I don’t actually know who it would be, maybe the ACCC?
So, back in the day I worked with a lot of gaming companies on their advertising. They would point blank refuse to target women because "women don't play games". Even when we demonstrated that women made up a really sizable proportion of their audience, they wouldn't budge.

Really brought it home to me that so much bias is reproduced through the biases of advertisers, rather than the platforms.
Don't think they ever manufactured their own -- they always rebranded OEM PSUs. The value add that Corsair had was their warranty and support.

My anecdote of Corsair support:
My northbridge memory controller (yeah, when those were a thing) died unbeknownst to me. I just experienced it as a huge memory error rate. When I contacted them asking if they had any idea how to test if it was the memory controller or the RAM, Corsair sent me a couple of sticks of validated (as in, they stress tested it to make sure it was good) RAM to test with, along with a free RMA label in case it ended up being the RAM itself. It ended up being the motherboard, and I returned the RAM, but the fact that they were willing to send me hardware to test with without any real obligation on my part to return it was amazing to me.

This is partially why I am a little worried about a Corsair IPO. I know they've gotten bigger and more 'distant' as a brand in the years since my experience, but I can't help feel that once public, they will swing even further away from that experience, driven to chase profits and short-term success. And that saddens me, because to me Corsair has for a long time been one of the 'good guys' and I cannot help but feel that's going to go away.

There was quite a big argument between Nate Silver, from 538, and G. Elliott Morris, the author of this model, which was quite an entertaining read if you’re into statistical drama.

You live in Paris for the extensive catalogue of activities accessible : architecture, museums, monuments, unique places and restaurants, locus of power, demonstrations etc... all squeezed in 100km². The city is one of the most densely crowded area in the world for a reason.

I don't think I need to lecture you about the ubiquitous problem of housing prices in "world-class" cities.
That's a shame. Looks like it's an M.2 module, so you could replace it I suppose.
I noticed that too, having recently re-played that game. I never would have thought that was based on actual scientific research.
That makes no sense. It's cheaper to declare an area to not be settled by humans than to destroy it and then declare the area to not be settled.
There's an argument which says that Science Fiction (proper Science Fiction, not Star Wars books) is less popular because whereas in the 1950 technology was a wonder, now it's a horror, its early promise unfulfilled. SF books have gone dark and frequently feature dystopias.

Despite the linked essay being a bit overblown, the author might be on to something. They're describing an optimistic, inspiring Science Fiction which posits a way out of our current doldrums using real technology, inspiring people to make real change. I can get onboard with that.
What is the difference between `sponge` and redirecting with `>` (or `>>`)? Is it about better compatibility with pipes or something?
I second the HZD recommendation – it's one of the best video games I've ever played. Funny thing is if I hadn't bought an HDR tv I'd probably never pick up the game, mechanized dinosaurs didn't really float my boat and I never saw a trailer or read the synopsis for the game. I bought it dirt cheap on sale only because it said it had HDR support and I wanted to see what difference it'd make in a game. Turns out it was stunningly gorgeous, great gameplay and a compelling story to boot!

I'm getting a PS5 this winter or next year, chiefly because of the Horizon Zero Dawn sequel – I desperately want to see where they take the story.

Natural follow up question - does NAT traversal actually work?

I used to be an SF dev and honestly, the bubble is almost impossible to see past. I can't even describe it, like a combination of hyper-competitiveness and forced social norms in tech that make you blind to anything but the way that we do it in SF. There's like an attitude of "we have it better than anyone else" in a lot of people I meet.

Sometimes I like to mess around and tell them about programming consultants that chill out in Utah and make 500k/yr working maybe half the year (we're really insecure about salary up here) and see an existential crisis fly cross my friend's faces, it's priceless.
