HN is pretty average. Windows is less than half for devs (but is still the largest OS share).

However, as is expected, those chosing to go out of their way to change their machines would naturally be more vocal than those that are indifferent to what it runs.
> I assume you're already familiar with the subject matter

Nope. I think this is why you don't see where the previous post falls short, too much familiarity so you don't realize you're skipping over important aspects.

I get just enough Haskell to understand the first 3 code blocks, and can guess what the 4th is depicting, but am not sure.

Ah, wasn't aware. One of my contract positions right now is in a sex worker field and a lot of the infrastructure and billing needs to be done themselves.
If the study establishes that for all practical purposes, online anonymity is impossible to maintain for average users, what are the implications (a) for the average user; (b) for the economy; and (c) for society?
Of course, if they ever had a reason to change. But they don't, because they don't really have a problem with supply of candidates. They have issues with selecting for quality, but adding tons of candidates with online degrees doesn't help them.

There are potential ways of addressing this, but they mainly involve the online university developing selection criteria just like elite colleges (e.g. everyone can access basic materials, but only certain X performers can access the premium version with company interviews; or they only admit X students per class). Otherwise the value of the degree is diluted and it has no more signaling power to employers. In addition, the online universities will likely attract less capable students, because for very strong students, top tier universities are still very much worth it.
I still don't understand why people want their code dependent on the web.

I want to share my one true dev environment, but I want to be able to do this on my private premises setup without internet access.

I don't trust the internet and things like codespaces not to leak my company's code whether nominally in a private repository or not.

I don't trust using internet dependencies either.

Even something like pair programming etc with a shared view of a project is very appealing, but again, it needs to be appealing in a private context and not dependent on public access.

What might be OK for an open source project is unlikely to be true for a company's valuable IP, but people just seem to get carried away.

Secure first, managed dependencies first. Please.
Can you help me understand this logic - what business can make money off of software that doesn’t work?
Bemused at the knee-jerk downvotes against anyone who has an opinion on unions in EITHER direction.

As in so many internet spaces, partisan zealots are degrading our ability to converse. I hope the mods figure out how to keep them from turning HN into yet another dunghole.
Yeah this was my point.
Static methods in general that create side-effects suck. PowerMock allows you to deal with these troublesome classes though so unit testing is possible.
I routinely see people postulate that unions act primarily in the interests of the general public. Unions may not claim that, but at least some of their supporters do.
Sure, there is plenty of churn with some parts of the body.

But it is not as if the brain destroys and creates brain cells at anywhere close to that rate. The neurons and the connections between them are quite long-lasting. I'm going to assume that's the "me" in here, until proven otherwise.
This might be an unpopular opinion, but is the new RTX 3070 at $499 and RTX 3080 at $699 really such good value?

Sure it's being marketed as 70-90% better performance at the same price but the value proposition is mainly in comparison to the Turing generation (20XX series) versus the Pascal generation (10XX series). For example of 3070, Nvidia moved the price anchor for the XX70 series from $379 to $499 so consumers are essentially paying for a XX80 card - and should expect XX80 performance. Nonetheless still impressive for the 70-90% performance gain, just perhaps not as much when price-adjusted.

On a separate note, I'm curious about how much of the performance gains is attributable to the node shrink (12nm to 8nm) vs. micro architecture vs. software optimization (e.g. DLSS 2.0 vs. 1.0).
> My mom doesn't care about Prime music, video, reading, twitch, grocery delivery, etc.

I don't care about any of those either.

Another post in this thread mentioned Walmart's sale of Vudu as premature in light of this offering, but I prefer an unbundled, single-purpose service. I don't want groceries from my television provider.

I'm excited by this.
How do these numbers look when you count health care/insurance cost for CA instead of only for EU?
You need to make a case to rest it first.

Notice that I never said the right isn't doing the same thing. But that would require being able to think, something the left and right brain worms stop their victims from doing.

I hope you get the help you need. A mind is a terrible thing to waste.
I have the same confusion, although I will say the only time I've EVER had a problem with nvidia drivers it was when I installed it through the package manager.

When I install them myself by running the scripts that nvidia gives you, I've never had a problem with the drivers. I've always suspected that was the problem, the way the distro's package the drivers, rather than being a problem with the drivers themselves.
IE was slow. The meme is from when this was accurate information. IE 10 and 11 made it mostly competitive.

The Edge browser was pretty decent, awful tracking aside. Arguably better than Chrome in many aspects.

Emma Stone and Lebron don't deal with monetizing micro-transactions with their fan base because they already make so much money that would be a time wasting side-show for the amount of work it would be.
If you can come up with a way to give mom and pop shops the efficiency and capabilities of a large megacorp then you should get to work and make a few billion dollars.

Browbeating people into accepting a less-efficient alternative, regardless of how you think the morality stacks up, just won't work.
And on the off chance you want to use the array language J instead, I wrote and used JtoLaTeX (https://github.com/mlochbaum/JtoLaTeX) throughout college for physics and math papers and even a master's thesis. It can display or calculate formulas, and embed plots.
It's not in archives because it was just published today.

Accusing someone of lying. Hang your head in shame. I'll change my mind with evidence. You have provided precisely none.

Seems you'd rather abuse than show evidence?

Make a list. See if it convinces you. Do it without rancour and abuse.

Or just move on to a different thread.

This is the bit you cut from your edit of my claim:

"Please let me be wrong about that and list then if I am. I'll be delighted and wildly enthused."

I agree, that state is a mess.

Perhaps the european model is better overall, or perhaps there are other complications.
Regardless, the debate is not "free" vs "pay private companies".
Both models have costs and benefits.
For the most part, complaints are handled through the Bar. Unless something is a press-worthy scandal, they are promptly ignored by most Bars. The goal is to protect lawyers, not clients. A press-worthy case hurts lawyers. Normal scams are, well, what most lawyers do.

Suing a lawyer for malpractice in courts is very tough. There are all sorts of barriers. For example, let's say your lawyer fails to file legal paperwork on-time, and you lose a case. You can sue, but to collect damages:

* You have to show that in the alternative case, you would have won. The lawyer will argue you would have lost in either case.

* The case against your lawyer will likely impact your main case, and not in ways you like.

If your lawyer charges billable hours without actually working -- something which is standard practice among lawyers in my community -- you need to be able to prove that. It's the culture here:

* I've been to lunch with lawyers who bragged they were billing someone else for the time

* Lawyers routinely double-bill if e.g. handling client emails on a cell phone while in court for another client. ). How do you do that?

So it happens all the time, and I've gotten insane bills when nothing was done. You can't prove that in court, though. There's no case. And so on.
Right, like I said I don’t think a game needs to be lifelike to be good, but I also don’t think any are. 10-20 years out, who knows.

The child's doodles make it seem like a lighthearted thing. It is not.

A grownup is attempting to explain some fairly dark things to a very young child. Mercifully, the child cannot absorb what it is being told. You may not be so lucky. But there is some biting social commentary and the absurdity of the whole thing makes it work.
Whose fault is it that Europe has many small countries instead of being dominated by Germany the?

If the EU hadn't stopped its continent-scale genocidal domination, it could be on par with USA and China for linguiatic and economic unity.
It's a good point that just as the actress bears some moral responsibility for exploiting the pathetic, the company bears responsibility for that too. Maybe easier to justify if you work for kik, but OnlyFans seems like it has a higher ratio of exploitation to non-exploitation than kik.

I have a strong preference to working in Clojure or another lisp-like language. Industry-wise, I'm fairly open with a slight preference for finance, crypto, AI/ML, or security. My ideal role involves generalization over specialization with a preference for backend, devops, and internal tools. Bonus points for anything academic or research-related.
OnDeck: Where top tech talent goes to explore what’s next
It doesn't shock me that it run's best on Windows, and you should of course use whatever works for you. I'm sorry if I implied anything else.

I have to agree. I love me some *nix (excluding Mac/iOS, actually), but game dev is the one thing I played with that just felt easier on Windows.
>That they will be emboldened is a minor tertiary effect compared to the massive primary damage of conspiracy theories.

Conspiracy theories like the Earth orbiting the sun. No, a society that is based on keeping people ignorant is a society that's not worth being called one. It's a thought police state that makes citizens into children who believe whatever the powers on high tell them to believe.
I completely agree. I think we agree that the punishment (ultra violence from a cop) does not fit the crime. I see the US as asking too much from cops and giving cops more military. Training (albeit __far__ less than the most basic of what is needed to handle situations) convinces them that they are experts in how to handle the situations. Military gear convinces them that these are the tools that they should use. In other words, if you expect someone to fix your computer don't hand them a hammer and train them by teaching them html.

Specialization is an okay thing and is often successful.
So here’s my best bet of how you could make a digital upload actually be you.

Say you could do a full biology simulation, and you use that to essentially extend your brain like extra layers of computation. Then you slowly turn off parts of your original brain while adding more chunks of functionality, until all of the original brain is gone.

This would be you in the sense that there is a continuous chain of being between your original self and your digital self (counting sleeping and maybe coma as still part of that chain of being)

Of course if this was enough to designate you still being you, it would throw into question if you stop your heart and then restart it, are you still you? (Probably the nature of stopping hearts is more complicated than I think it is, so I am not 100% sure this is a valid objection)
I'm insanely excited about this. One of the research scholars, Alon Levy, has written extensively about infrastructure costs on the blog https://pedestrianobservations.com/.

It's incredible how the ACCC has the nerve to say Facebook response amounts to Facebook holding Australian's to ransom!

Never mind the draft law as it sits is literally designed to take money from Facebook and Google and put it directly into News Corp. pockets. This is not about the government collecting tax dollars for the good of Australia, this is the government collecting tax dollars for the good of Rupert Murdoch.

Incredibly because of the tight control he has over the media he can ensure his version of the truth gets repeated over and over until a very large number of Australians will simply believe it as truth.

Fake news is alive and well in Australia thanks to one company owning an enormous chunk of all media.
This makes way more sense. From the person I knew in ATC a while back, it actually paid pretty well.

Plus you're a federal employee, so the benefits tend to be quite good and make up for a lower salary.
Again, the library can provide that functionality in a better way. In this case, the library could provide a means for the consuming code to be queried about what keys are available. E.g., in JS-like pseudo-code:

validator = new JwtValidator();
// By default, the validator should reject everything, until you call…
validator.add_signing_key(new RsaSigned((a strongly-typed RSA key));
// I wouldn't even add this to the library, but let's
// say you want to comply with the RFC fully:
validator.add_signing_key(new CompletelyUnsafeNoneAlgorithm());
// (And I'd name it that explicitly, to let the consumer know that
// what they're doing is nuts.)

This validator knows exactly which algorithms — and keys — are valid.

If the full keyset is somehow not known ahead of time, a callback to enumerate keys of a certain type could be configured.

Better API design here prevents this vuln. from ever happening.

(Personally, I wish the RFC had never added "alg": "none"; it's a mistake waiting to happen. I wish JWS/JWT could be updated to remove it.)
Someone even made a triangulation app to pinpoint other users of Grindr.
“Most of my daily tools are Windows based, so I’ve been spending a lot of time getting Windows Subsystem for Linux working alongside the rest of my daily workflow, which comes with its own headaches. So being able to quickly checkout a branch, make changes and take some load of my local machine seems very promising.”

Making it easier for more devs to use and stick with Microsoft tech, is, I think, a core driver behind this initiative.
I believe FIFO is evil. It encourages people to form queues. I'd rather make it a random pick from the set of those within a reasonable range.
> That's because our operating systems treat user input as a soft real time problem when actually it should be a hard real time problem.

Please expand on your reasoning here. Maybe hard realtime is optimal for a kiosk or appliance, but a general purpose OS treating "user input" as a hard interrupt seems problematic. I see merit in your position if we had a sub-category of "interactive OS" for general purpose end-user devices.
I think the "competitive" piece is more important than the "can't verify" piece. I'd add academics, politicians, and executives to that list.

A lot of professions are structured like pyramid schemes, with partner/tenure/presidency/CEO at the top, and crap at the bottom.

On the flip side, my experience is most tradespeople are quite scrupulous, not because I can verify the work, but due to lack of competition. If my handyman takes 30% longer to work, he perhaps makes 30% less money, but life goes on. If an academic misses tenure, or a politician gets knocked out of office, careers end.
Actually, given how corrupt SF is, I don't want my tax dollars going to unsustainable pensions. The city has had budget issues for a long time and it's getting even worse this year.

Under ideal circumstances Starlink is claiming a 15-20ms ping. That's already too high for HFT.

Also they're only orbiting about 200 miles above Earth, so unless you're already relatively close to your target location, you'll need to bounce your traffic across a whole bunch of satellites, each adding a fractions of a ms just for hardware processing + light speed to the next hop. In fact over any sufficiently long distance, doing this will actually resemble a longer curved arc circumscribing the arc of the Earth.

People who really need those extra few ms have little choice but to stick to the ground, near the exchange.
Ok, so two trips but not any two trips. It requires a lot more knowledge of the person. For someone you know well why would you even need to look at the data?
>Second the fruit-fly brain has 25,000 neurons while the human brain has more than 10,000,000,000. There's 6 orders of magnitude difference there.

>Lastly the connectivity of neurons in the human brain is very high.

yep, the human brain is 100B neurons and has 10e4 connections per neuron while the fly brain has 10e3 connections/neuron. So we need to emulate 10e15 connections of the human brain. GPT-3 has 175B of weights.
Taxpayers have every right to question where their money is being spent. SF's pension liabilities are too high.
Fair. I was hoping there was a list of common or known monitors that do this.
Ticket price has nothing to do with budget. The schools have endowments and scholarship for rich students to pay more while poor students pay less.
It seems to be something quite common at Twitter to give information from its users, I have seen interviews where people openly admit that you can find the identity of an account holder if you have friends working there. After the last "hack" it looks like once you are inside their system, there are not many safeguards or auditing.

If you have a federated and perhaps also heterogeneous system then "Just use a database" isn't the easy option.

Think about all the people/organisations that emit tokens you trust, or trust tokens you emit. Would they fit in an elevator? A meeting room? A conference venue?

If the code that mints all your JWTs and the code that verifies them are two methods in a class running in the same service and maintained by the same team, that's a sign you probably didn't need JWTs and an opaque token was more likely what you should use.
The best I've seen the topic of mind and computation bridged and well communicated has been by Joscha Bach. Recommend watching this video on Computational Meta-Psychology [1]. Also his 3 hour conversation with Lex Fridman is a whole other amazing rabbit hole [2].
