Despite its superficial earnestness, I read this article as unsupported and self-serving, and overall quite full of just-so stories about capitalizing on downturns.
> It is a bit intoxicating to think about how things could be if computing really were approached as a single, monolithic, elegant design.

Isn't the iPhone/iPad supposed to be exactly that?

A single device, a single ecosystem, a single curator.. and outside of a vocal minority, millions of people love it for exactly those reasons.
It looks like SiFive is making a vector processor, to potentially compete with GPUs (Nvidia makes chips with dozens of multiprocessors on them, each with arbitrarily many cores)

Super exciting!
Yes I'm not disagreeing there, I'm all for pipelines and CQRS and dedicated databases for dedicated purposes. The point I'm making is that if the original schema is a pain to work with, you can have as many pipelines and databases as you want, getting the actual data you want isn't any less of a pain.
This is not a UI direction, its just a missing feature. Most websites with audio have a volume slider.

I'm curious whether the chip woes also applied for Xbox Series X that uses basically same APU technology.
When not using FK constraints, data may be modified or lost (deleted) without proper cleanup of related records leading to "orphaned" records without relationships (or related ids that do not correspond to existing records). The disk space for these orphaned records and the time to run a relational integrity checks across tables (removing orphans), is of minor concern and effort, comparative to a troublesome database entry with FK constraints.
Yes, but note TLS records were explicitly authenticated with HMAC before the adoption of AEAD modes.
On the other hand, everyone in the office knows who the productive and unproductive people are.

It's also true that many people have a very different assessment of their productivity than their colleagues do of them. I've seen some pretty massive disconnects there, which usually lead to trouble.
On laser cooling:

> Very basically what they did was use a specially tuned array of lasers to bombard the atoms with photons from all angles. These photons are like pingpong balls compared to the bowling-ball-like atoms, but if you have enough of them, they can arrest the motion of the cesium atoms, slowing them from about 130 meters per second to a few centimeters per second

Such a cool idea deserves a better brief explanation:
Atoms absorb light in a specific frequency, and are pushed by it. If your light is at a slightly lower frequency, due to doppler effect only atoms that are moving towards you will absorb and be slowed down. Atoms going in other directions will be undisturbed. The net effect is a reduction of movement, hence cooling.
An Internet with a payment system built in from the ground up might be one that did not end up throwing its hands in the air and saying “I guess everything will be funded by ads, I dunno”.

An Internet where “keep engagement high so we can serve shitloads of ads” was not the default path to financial success would be an Internet without social media that happily pushes people into ever-more controversial positions, because that’s what keeps them around longer and lets you serve more ads. Decide for yourself what social changes that would create.
It never occurred to me to fix that with an extension, good tip.

Wow, I really had no idea. That's really frustrating...

Any way to fix this? Maybe we can somehow hack the keyboards. They have an USB controller with firmware on it, right?
Same goes for Nvidia.

It has been said that other countries, including US, in fact have more rare earth deposits. If they choose to relax environmental laws and disregard patents held by Chinese corporations, more rare earth would be produced.
Data Science/ML Twitter Accounts to Follow
I don’t think this is really true. We’ve had the technological capability of micropayments for many years (since PayPal probably?), so it’s long been possible to charge for access to content on the web. If that were a model consumers preferred for text, it would be winning. Instead, most consumers will bounce from paywalled content if they can’t figure out a way in for free.

In areas like music and video streaming, paid services are actually popular, because they have a different cost structure and more consumers find it worthwhile to pay to access better content with no ads.
Right, which was the reason for the "(motivated?)". It is a genuinely hard problem, and I wouldn't be surprised if it's intractable even for a motivated organization, but at the very least there's no profit-incentive to put real effort into solving it. So for one reason or another, I don't think any company can be relied upon to keep a handle on this problem.
Where are you getting this stuff about Windows from? Everything I can find says it's because of BIOS limitations, nothing to do with Windows; see https://www.devever.net/~hl/usbnkro , for example.
Oh wow, neat explanation, thanks! For some reason I always thought laser cooling was about “cornering” atoms in between laser beams. But then apparently from your explanation it’s really only about finding the right laser color! Then you can beam it in pretty much any direction and it will result in a global reduction of the speed of atoms (aka temperature). Did I get that right?

People who already have money could just spend it directly in that world, couldn't they?
It's smart for an employee to let the manager know what he's been doing. It's just like a business has to do some promotion or the business will fail - even great products don't sell themselves.
Sorry but when someone describes what they are doing is wrong, maybe they need to hear that. I don't really care about being nice at all costs, because the truth sometimes hurts. If they change one little thing and the entire layout breaks, that says quite a lot about the situation, and that together with their insistence to do everything like they did 20 years ago just adds up to someone needing to hear the truth. They are doing things very wrong. And this also isn't the place to delve deeply into the root of their problems, as they obviously are not really interested in learning or changing - so if you're offended by the truth, well that's not really my problem.
This is such a heartwarming work, finally some good use for all the HW, a great, easy to use tool for story telling. It's also great that you chose to make this a desktop app, and facilitate sharing and exchange with files. Although, You could have packed all the data into single binary blob for easier sharing.
I would agree the skeptical approach is healthy. As the scientists involved mentioned in their live stream, there's definitely more work to be done to gather more information, and figure out why this substance is where it shouldn't be.

They were pretty clear in stating up front they have not ruled out abiotic processes, and are not declaring that they have discovered life. They state based on the known conditions of Venus and known chemical pathways to phosphine, and what is known about phosphine as a bio-marker, that life is a distinct possibility.

Through further research either we'll learn something new about Venus, phosphine production (which could improve our understanding of its relevance as a biomarker in the universe), or confirm some form of biological process.
> I can accept what happened, from the historical record, while denying that it needs to have massive historical relevance to current events, or that it implies any requirement of action.

Apply this logic to me walking up to you on the street and beating you and stealing all your money and two days later saying, "I acknowledge what happened, but I don't think it is relevant to today or implies any requirement of action to remedy."

Likewise apply this logic to me seizing all the property of your parents when you were an infant and then you as an adult approach me about this and I say, "I acknowledge what happened, but I don't think it is relevant to today or implies any requirement of action to remedy."

Likewise apply this logic to me seizing all the property of your grandparents when your father was an child and then you as an adult approach me about this and I say, "I acknowledge what happened, but I don't think it is relevant to today or implies any requirement of action to remedy."

Without worrying about why I might have done those things above when I did them or just how much responsibility I might have for the actions, the various mitigation or explanations, that an injustice occurred and that consideration should be given to righting it seems trivial to acknowledge. Just consideration, it doesn't even cost anything!
I have all of my favorite IDEs ready to run on a click - a few JetBrains ones, VS Code and Visual Studio, etc.

I still use Repl.it if I want to try out something in a hurry, or especially if I want to post a code sample for one of my Stack Overflow answers.

Both of these options are great! It's not one vs. another.
we are indeed the latter case! We are B2B and have a good amount of clients for one of our services but for others we just have to deliver reports with screenshots of our tool since it's a pain in the ass to work with. 12 engineers but no one with any training on how to make things intuitive and delightful.

How exactly did they get around the 2FA? I'm guessing the app he installed stole his password when he entered it, but he does say that he had 2FA enabled. How did they get around this and log in to his account? Or did the app somehow siphon off the 2FA code also?

I really wonder how we’ll use that mega-accurate clock that takes like a second every gazillion years. Like the article said, GPS is great but even then you don’t need such accuracy.
I would argue that the founders were students of Greek and Roman history which preceded them by almost 2000 years. The lessons encoded in the bill of rights were in fact, timeless and speak to the innate nature of human beings. As a species we haven't evolved much in 200K years. Freedom of speech is an important check against a monopoly on ideas. Propaganda is one of the most powerful and dangerous forces and the only way to fight it is with opposing propaganda or debate. Freedom of speech guarantees the right to have that debate. The printing press was a form of mass media. The problem is not the speech on social media. The problem is the platform. Who knows if social media will even be a thing in 10 years? It could just be a temporary fad in history, like disco, that just fades away. It already is starting to wane. More people are tuning out and gen Z is just not as into Facebook or Twitter as my gen was. The need to protect speech and debate will always be essential, however.

AFAIK, the mechanism of action of paper surgical masks, and cloth masks, is not by catching particles of that size, but primarily by catching larger droplets and by disrupting forward airflow on exhalation. So their usefulness for smoke would seem questionable.
I have some different constructive criticism. I felt like the cartoons made it seem like they were treating me like a 5 year old. Is this for adults or children? I had to click away, it was a little bit insulting honestly.
I've developed a theory that qualities such as empathy, subjectivity, even aesthetic need to be cultivated. You need to exercise them or they will abandon you. And being a programmer is not always conducive to these qualities. When you spend your time in the land of bits and bytes, 1's and 0's, it's too easy to see the world through the lens of objectivity.

But the world is not objective. As much as we try to claim objective knowledge, the world is too complex to be proven. We inevitably call upon models, we inevitable omit data, we inevitably read bias into our evidence. Instead by claiming our objectivity, we're sanctifying our subjective ideas. If I claim that Keynesian economics is objectively correct, I'm not giving an objective proof, I'm simply trying to sanctify Keynesian economics as an infallible truth.

And by making that claim, I'm neglecting the empathy to comprehend that other people very well have their experiences and their data that indicates Keynesian economics is false.
If they quoted me 700 pounds to fix one key on a laptop, I wouldn't care about what the accountants think.

> An Internet with a payment system built in from the ground up

Perhaps there could be a new digital currency for all and any transactions done online. Let's call it ICR. Websites and apps would only accept ICR, and pay out only in ICR, and people would convert between ICR and whatever they want, and that would be the only way to generate ICR, unlike cryptocurrencies and whatnot.
Every .info domain I've ever seen in my life has been a spam site. I didn't click the link because of that preconceived notion and opted to google it instead. And of course, this is the tagline:

> Creepy Uncle Joe Biden is back and ready to take a hands-on approach to America's problems!

Sure enough, it's a spam site.
> "Free speech" does not have a universal definition. I doubt people in Germany think they don't have free speech just because they can't legally deny the holocaust. However we allow that in the US even if it is a "malicious lie" that is disputing facts and therefore isn't an opinion which would seem to leave it outside your definition of free speech. Would you be in favor of a similar law in the US to outlaw holocaust denial?

No. People have good faith beliefs in all sorts of insane/horrible things. If I encounter holocaust deniers, I ask them if they're calling me a liar. I've been to Dachau. I'm convinced.

And Germany is hardly the gold standard of freedom.

> You also seem to be in support of defamation not being protected speech. But why should defamation of an entire group of people in the form of hate speech be protected? Saying a specific person has negative traits X, Y, and Z isn't protected but it is protected when you say everyone of that person's ethnicity including that specific individual has traits X, Y, and Z. Why the distinction?

Are we talking about opinions or not? "Group X likes to chop up babies and eat them, and has had several baby feasts so far this year" is different than "I think all of Group Y are dangerous and have no place in our country." Certainly "hate speech" would go after both with equal vigor (and quite a bit more), but only the first is defamatory. The latter is simply an opinion. Other opinions: "I don't trust the Trump administration's COVID vaccine." "The rent is too damn high." "We need to build the wall." Etc.

> This idea of free speech is not us straightforward as "free speech maximalists" try to make it appear.

No, it really, really is. Engaging in good faith is apparently much harder.
> she selflessly forfeited her severance payout.

Without discrediting her desire for the greater good. It is a lot easier to turn this kind of money done when you consider compensation in these big tech companies. To most $64k sounds like a lot, for a big tech employee that could be a fraction of one stock vesting event. She worked there for over a year so she at least saw one vesting event and Facebooks stock has been explosive over last year. She very well could have net $100k or more in a single vesting event. I'm sure she has enough money to tide her over until her next job.

Tech companies could hire and train students straight from high school instead of making them go through the academic priestly class, but nope, everyone wants expensive degrees and pay more for it.
It goes beyond the hiring funnel. These narratives are pushed and often believed internally. The people who actually do the work, who understand that things are not how they should be but don't understand why, who are passionate and ambitious enough to assume personal responsibility for the outcomes of their efforts nonetheless (as if a junior-to-mid-level data scientist receiving radio silence from their management chain can reasonably be expected to protect democracy in places like Ukraine and Azerbaijan), often don't understand that they've simply been put in a fundamentally dysfunctional situation - and it's rare that anyone will actually sit them down and explain that to them.
So about the only allowed form of advertising is mail addressed to "Occupant" sent to every postal address that is in the jurisdiction the office represents?

Nearly everything else will generally only reach a subset of the voters, and that subset will have known demographic differences from the overall voter demographics for the jurisdiction.

Run an ad at in the 8-8:30 PM Sunday slot on every FOX TV station in a state, for example, and you'll get quite a different demographic than if you ran an ad on those same stations on Sunday afternoon. The first ad would be during "The Simpsons" and the second would probably be during an NFL football game.

This is good advice. I've been helping my partner learn javascript (she's smart and talented but hasn't learned programming), and the other thing I'd add is that a lot of the time her questions are about how you would use a language feature, and why you would use it, and that teaching her has helped me learn and think about stuff that I took for granted. I think more people should teach/tutor/help others, because it's honestly made me a better more thoughtful and less dogmatic programmer.

Broadcom has an architectural license. They do also license core designs.

Really if nVidia locks up the lower end cores, then a lot of stuff breaks. Billions of super tiny ARM cores are everywhere. ARM has few competitors in the instruction set space for low end, low power, low cost cores. AVR, PIC, and MIPS are what come to mind. And AVR/PIC are owned by Microchip corporation.

These ARM chip unit licenses are dirt cheap, there's hundreds of small manufacturers, and their chips go in everything, and in unexpected places. And these aren't just little microprocessors anymore. They're even in SoCs as little coprocessors that manage separate hardware components in realtime.

The amount of penetration ARM has in hidden places cannot be underestimated. And there isn't a quick replacement for them. Not one freely licensed to any manufacturer.

Lol, why? I have expensive keyboards and they are nowhere near that much for a single key. Is there any other keyboard on the planet that has such expensive keys (except maybe that one with OLEDs on every key)?

What are they sprinkling these things with to make people parrot such tripe?

Show HN: Building a system to generate and validate successful businesses
Consumerism comes after basic needs are met, and time becomes available.

Consumerism is reading articles such as these, and reading comments afterwards. It's natural, as humans are curious and want to experience things.

Though I can't quote anything I have a suspicion that this is written somewhere in the bible or by aristotle. it's human nature but also animal nature to be consumers.

Consumption has many reasons. some buy unnecessary things to build on other things. People who buy a boat or vacation envision sharing it with their friends.

People who buy the latest too envision building amazing things of high quality for people, or they see themselves doing something in less time.

People who buy things also invent other things. The world gets more complex. it's not that mysterious and has little to do with the victorian age, other than maybe it was actually documented. It's a shame to lay blame on a particular people of an era, as the sole originator of something that's subjectively called "bad" just because those people happened to be the ones who actually wrote down what they did for the future to learn from.

Consumption. Think about it. The victorian age? Tryu harder. Why do you think throughout history, kings had huge feasts and dozens concubines. Because they had the time and the opportunity.
