V is not a silver bullet either. No language is.
V values highly fast compilation times, and does not claim to have the best type system, similar to Go.

Having only one plan means failing to please almost everybody. Human brains want a choice, just not an overwhelming one. In this case, I'm going to be paying $20, not $25, so I'll thank you not to take away my preferred option.

I'm currently paying more than $20 per month for the various services I use, all of which are included in the family bundle, so this is a can't-lose choice for me, which I think was their goal.
If your source language has some construct that you want to express as state machines (e.g. async, CPS, pattern match compilation), and you want to compile the state machine as direct threaded code[0] (which involves fewer branches than a while-switch), then if you're compiling to C, you need computed gotos[1], which are non-standard.

There are a lot of tech companies that start and are successful in Europe. They just get bought when they get big enough and killed later.

Skype is another example to add to the list.

Skype is effectively dead technology and isn’t even promoted any more.
I thought I didn't care about music discovery either, but for me that turned out to just be because all the discovery I'd seen previously was bad. Spotify Discovery weekly playlists are really good and getting a new one each week is a really good model.

I generally agree with you on the UI, Spotify's is also bad. You can add songs to 'liked songs' which is functionally the library (used to be called library, before that was 'starred songs') and then sort by artist that way.

I have no idea what they're doing over there though changing that stuff every couple of months. They have no idea how their UI should work, no design consistency - it's generally bad.

Is the Apple stuff pretty good now?
The point you've just tried to make is that it's fine to force teachers to risk death in a classroom, because they might also get hit by a car driving into work? You need to work on your rhetoric.
What is the difference you are trying to make? If it is the depletion of resources and/or polluting to world, recycling is much, much less important than reducing consumption. One less airline trip per year, one less weekend road trip. Do you eat out? The amount of hidden waste in restaurant meals would amaze most people. Reduce the amount of meat you eat. Stay healthy so that you don't use the medical system.

Your instinct is right that recycling does not help much. It is more of a ritual to allow people to consume guilt free than an effective way toward a less polluted world.
Didn't Peloton sue one of their competitors out of existence for copying their business idea? Karma is a b i t c h.
This will be very useful project and looking forward to many extensions. But I would like to get clarification about Kubernetes.

When you want to support Helm charts, how will it be different from Kubernetes API? Will it not be easier to extend Kubernetes API, instead of using Stargate?
Yes, the causes they fund are lauded but are not always the causes we really need funding for or actually want / believe in. In other words, they use their wealth to shape our society without our input.
Spending money rather than accumulating it is, on the ballance, better for everyone else in the economy.

Positing it as an unalloyed good to be frugal and accumulate wealth (especially at massive scale) is extremely murky at best.
The other day there was an article here about "The ISS repeater on 437.8 Mhz". In the comments someone linked to an ISS tracker... I clicked it, and it said there was a pass near my house in 20 minutes, so I dug up my cheap-o RTL-SDR dongle and stuck the tiny aerial out on my fire escape.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I actually saw a signal pop up as it passed: https://imgur.com/a/jCOaFSk. It's apparently closer tonight, so I'm going up on my roof to see if I can get audio!
> But why do reviewers have to do the job of Nvidia's marketing department?

Are you suggesting you would rather read reviews of Nvidia products that are written by Nvidia, and you would trust them more than 3rd party reviews?

> I don't understand Nvidia's marketing at all.

Do read @TomVDBs comments; this isn't Nvidia, this is the industry-wide marketing terminology.

Cores are important to developers, so what you're talking about is that some of the marketing is (unsurprisingly) not targeted for you. If you care most about Blender and games, you should definitely seek out the benchmarks for Blender and the games you play. Even if you understood exactly what cores are, that wouldn't change anything here, you would still want to focus on the apps you use and not on the specs, right?

> I have the feeling they're not; if you're using all Y tensor cores, then there aren't Z unused CUDA cores sitting around, right?

FWIW, that's a complicated question. There's more going on than just whether these cores are separate things. The short answer is that they are, but there are multiple subsystems that both types of cores have to share, memory being one of the more critical examples. The better answer here is to compare the perf of the applications you care about, using Nvidia cards to using AMD cards, picking the same price point for each. That's how to decide which to buy, not worrying about the internal engineering.
Google didn't betray their promise. Android is open source and Apple not Microsoft have open sourced their operating system.
The latest update it is giving me is 5 months ago (I'm in San Diego, CA), that seems hardly relevant.
So... you have nothing? That is what I figured.
I’m not sure I see the problem. What you’re saying is it entices people to go to the website only to discover that the one they really want is more expensive than the base model. At which point... I guess they close the browser? No harm done.
Then you don't understand the specialization of labor very well, and you're being very disingenuous to the parent post. They made no reference to certain work being beneath them, only the idea in maximizing resources. Maybe you could help the shelter with some database work while a junior high kid picks up poop.
How many voters could this possibly sway? Regular readers of Scientific American, a generally pro-science camp, made their choice long ago. The anti-science camp won't be listening.
Don't focus on one guy. He is just one example. There is a pattern of a whole range of individuals with very credible credentials that are entirely ignored.

Track records don't seem to matter. The famous Imperial College model was by a worker with a rather alarming track record. How is the track record of Bill and Melinda Gates foundation, btw? Or the unqualified man currently serving as head of WHO? His C.V. is alarming enough.

So side arguments aside, the question remains as to why Bill Gates, are granted such a global megaphone. The article from Columbia Review of Journalism tells us why that may be the case.

I find it entirely irrational and unreasonable that decisions that will affect the entirety of humanity today, and will definitively alter the course of human development are to be made by individuals such as Bill Gates, and that other input by far more qualified individuals is entirely ignored, if not blackwashed.

It not unreasonable to seek a second opinion even for relatively minor health matters. And here we are talking about metaphorical open heart surgery on the very nature of society: how we are governed, how we interact, and how we make collective decisions.

There has never been a more timely moment to ASK QUESTIONS.
Doesn't this just make it a little too obvious that the company is more interested in paying you as little as they can get away with rather than paying you for the value you bring. The employee equivalent of this is accepting the wage they're offering and then optimizing to do as little work of value to the company as possible.
> The basic argument against the estate tax is moral. It taxes virtue – living frugally and accumulating wealth.

To be clear - I'm talking about playing audio in the background, like Apple Music. That, as far as I know, has never been made available to third party app developers. And even if Apple has finally allowed Spotify the Great Privledge of joining Apple on it's playing field, it would have taken multiple years of complaints and hypocrisy from Apple to get there.
The three I would pick are:

1. 1980s – 1990s Mainframe to PC

2. 1990s – 2000s PC to Web

3. 2000s – 2010s Web to Mobile

In each of these transitions the software written for the Old Way was incompatible with the New Way.

(There have also been shifts in data storage and network protocols that others might point to as major transitions.)

What about single use plastic for things like cleaning supplies? Why only medical?

I don’t shop at a grocery store, how will I return my plastic, glass or metal containers?

Is plastic so bad if it gets reused?

If we don’t make plastic what happens to that portion of the petrochemical supply chain? Are there other constructive uses or does it just get dumped into a river somewhere?
There are two reasons to support a hefty inheritance tax on wealth over $X million. First, it raises revenue to help fill the deficit. More importantly, it is friction against generational wealth. Bill Gates (and his father) have for decades supported inheritance tax and gave this as the explicit reason.

The WiFi versions have negative value to me, the apps are usually terrible and they are almost impossible to pair (typically only have 2.4ghz radios).

I went with the P10 which does exactly what I want (AQI and PM2.5). It looks nice, it works, and is highly visible from a distance (even has a 6hr battery which makes it easy to move between rooms).

The only other one I'd consider is the one that does CO2.

As a bonus the Temtop sensors are less than half the price of their competitors while being at least twice as good.
Seems like the challenge is that software is rarely and end goal in itself. Either it's for end users and needs design, marketing, etc or it's for businesses and needs sales people, account management, etc.

I'd love to see someone find a way to make it work, though.
What's peculiar to me is that Apple hasn't released a premium accessory for artists to angle their iPad for drawing.
I'm curious if this is single person only. If my wife and I do a workout together is it only showing one person's metrics?

The plan says "Share with 5 other family members", but can we really share it? All the demos show just a single person's metrics on the display.

I'd also like to know what it's really offering here. Is it just static videos with generic progressions or does it work me through a progression based on my stats? This could be a pretty cool training tool if they worked off my HR and metrics, but if it's generic, I'm not seeing the value.

Having multi-viewer support and watch metric based progressions would make this a killer platform. I'm pretty sure it's not going to hit that mark exactly though.
Hindenburg has been pretty upfront about their short position, as has most reporting.

OTOH, short sellers actually have skin in the game, they're putting their money where their mouths are. It's an important mechanism in the public market, which counteracts the existing bias in favor of stock value appreciation on account of shareholders endlessly shilling the stock.

Despite what you see in social media, most people are not a stereotype.
What's missing in some salary discussions on HN:

Compensation Trajectory: Sure, I can relocate from [HCOL city] to [LCOL city] and come out ahead today after factoring taxes, home prices, etc. What happens in the long term? Will I have a harder time getting promoted because of lower visibility? Will my annual raises and stock refreshes be lower than my counterparts who did not relocate? In tech-dense areas like the Bay Area, I can switch jobs and negotiate a substantial salary increase. Will LCOL areas allow me to substantially increase my salary when I switch jobs?

Home Prices: Folks often cite cheaper housing as a reason for leaving HCOL areas. I generally agree with that. But housing is an investment, not necessarily an expense. You might be paying seven figures for a small townhouse in the Bay Area. However, you'll get your money back when you sell your home in the future (assuming a sufficiently long time horizon and the ability to wait out dips in the housing market). Like any other investment, there are risks associated and ROI is not guaranteed, but my point is that spending $1M on a house is not the same as spending $1M on a luxury car.

Purchasing Power: Earning more money in a HCOL city (relative to earning less in a LCOL city) goes a long way once you leave your local economy. Want to send your kids to a private university? Most tech employees won't qualify for financial aid regardless of where they live. In that case, tuition for [private university] is the same regardless of whether you live in San Francisco or rural Oklahoma.
I don't get this obsession with compositors. I just switch them off. Has no benefit for me. If I'm so inclined I can move windows with video running in Full-HD without any tearing across several screens like mad. When I'm in a terminal window of some sort I don't care for the real transparency, because it is unergonomic. When I'm in some other application the same applies.

Can someone enlighten me about the real benefits?

Seriously.
I never pre-order games but I did with this even though I'm not sure it is really my kind of game. CDPR and GOG are basically the direct opposite of EA and Activision. Good vs. Evil. Worth supporting unlike pretty much anyone else.
I use Cloudflare Workers for:

* Serving a standard security.txt file for all websites within my account

* Automatically rewriting the case of URLs for a CMS that doesn't support case-insensitivity

* Adding security headers to sites that don't support adding them locally (e.g. third-party hosting)

* Proxying requests elsewhere directly from the 'edge', rather than having to run my own proxy

* Serving static config files, e.g. mta-sts.txt, proxy.pac
I have a drawer/box full of unused chargers and cables that came with my devices that would argue otherwise. I wish Apple would have stopped bundling them in a long time ago. Make them an optional free add on at time of purchase.
This assumes Feeney is more qualified to know where his money will be most effective and that no one else is out there already doing a ton of research validating the effectiveness of different charities. (both questionable)

I think this could be a convenient excuse that keeps some from donating more money (I'll wait until I can spend time creating my own charity / doing some hands-on vetting on who gets my money). There are already plenty of organizations (GiveWell, OpenPhil, etc.) that have very good research on the impact different charities have, often with RCTs on those interventions proving how much each $ buys (in terms of quality-adjusted life years or else).

In other words: should we let the use of money be directed by the people who will actually pay with their own money for what they want, or should we let a vacuous "majority" pursue whatever goals they might seem to want, with money that's not even theirs to spend in the first place? I know what my answer would be. Even the Kochs are spending money for what they regard as the good of society. There's nothing inherently 'wrong' with that.
Time and Dates are incredibly hard, so thank you Moment.js team for the painkillers you have provided to JS community.

Expressing an opinion or a position is not the same thing as having a bias.

I still don't get how bottled water became a thing. It wasn't a thing when I was a kid, and somehow the industry convinced us to buy huge quantities of an inferior product for more money, and it pollutes the environment to boot. Insane.

The least you can do is use a refillable container.

10+ years ago Google switched from bottle water to giving everyone a container. And that was a great move. Yet people complained, and a few years later we were back to bottled water.

What a waste.

How long would it take to figure out how to run a steel mill from (more or less) first principles? That is, if you're a country that has zero steel mills and zero people who have worked at one, and for some out-of-game reason (like a global pandemic) you can't travel to one, but you know that they exist, you have access to books, and perhaps you can interview people, how long will it take to build an acceptable-quality mill?

After all, a) humankind developed steel mills in the absence of any steel mills at all, and b) multiple countries have developed much more complicated things in secrecy from each other (like atomic weapons and orbital rockets and radar), so it seems like it should be doable.

It's to your advantage to give up your skills if the cost of regaining them if you need to is smaller than the comparative advantage of having China make steel for you in the meantime.
There's no way to distinguish them though because it's all one subscription with Peloton - you can take the classes live or watch it on demand afterward. It's not like you're paying per live class.
> I think that if Nvidia open sourced it's Graphic Drivers , 80℅ of backslash against Nvidia would disappear suddenly

They don't even have to do that. All they have to do is allow nouveau to actually drive the graphics card. Maybe it won't be as performant as the proprietary driver but it will actually work out of the box with no system instability.
At my company, we have Technical Service Analysts and Developers. The distinction is that a developer has power to modify the application they manage, whereas a TSA only has the power to use the application they manage. Both can write code, though it tends to be that the developers write code and TSAs don't.

For example, I have a TSA that manages our API gateway. They can't modify that application by updating it's codebase, but have the power to deploy stuff and write config scripts for it. As a developer, I manage a front end application, so I have the power to change the code for this application, but I don't have the power to deploy it and I don't really use it.

So I really think being a developer or not is based around what you have power over as an individual.
They're mentioned in footnote 1 as a flavor of recursive descent parsing.

So .... discarded items from the US and Europe are given new life and reused in Ghana? And this is bad somehow?

Isn't reuse the ideal situation?

Not to mention e-waste vs plastic trash are rather different topics.

I repeat what I said: First world countries do not deal with trash by sending it to second world countries, despite being oft repeated, this is not actually true.
True, but in Nvidia's case I think they did?

Well - they charged more at each price point because they were faster.

At some prices I think it wasn't enough to justify the extra cost from a price to performance ratio, but that doesn't seem like a reason to think they're bad.

It's possible I'm a little out of date on this, I only keep up to date on the hardware when it's relevant for me to do a new build.
runevault made a similar point below, and it's pretty valid -- if you're writing a new compiler for a new language, the target is frequently changing and you care most about iteration speed. I've mostly done compiler development for existing languages, which provides a nice fixed target and the "only" challenge is in providing a good experience for end users within that fixed target.
To be honest, I'd recommend just giving as directly as you can. Right now, I ordered remote teaching equipment for teachers in my community. You can too. Identify people doing good important things, and give them money to do it.

Especially if you give resources to volunteers doing genuinely good work in your community, it has a huge multiplier effect.
> Face ID is simple: you show up. That's all.

I'm drinking my coffee skimming through morning news. I get distracted, phone locks up. Now, on Moto Z I need to just touch it and it works again. On iPhone, no, it won't unlock at all while it is lying on the table.

On learning curve: you exaggerate the hugeness of the learning curve. When I upgraded my Moto Z play for Moto Z4, I learned... Well, maybe in 30 seconds during device calibration. Now, I've had some experience with side button fingerprint sensor on Moto Z3, and it was the reason I decided to skip upgrade that year. You see, the phone always moves when you try to unlock it, unless it is secured somehow to stay in place (by your other hand or by assuming some pose where it doesn't move)
