IBM? Seriously give the geriatric case control over yet another ISA?

NVIDIA was bullied by both AMD and Intel when it wanted to make GPUs that are capable running x86 code.

IBM would pretty much kill ARM at least SoftBank left it be.

NVIDIA on the other hand will come with a strong vision and competency this is by far the most exciting shift in the semi market for years and we might finally get some competition in the CPU space.
Could use just a bit more detail on the X axis.
I'm moving soon to enable that separation.
These are good changes. “View builders” are quite powerful but it was always strange to be able to get so far so fast and then be hit by a weird limitation involving fairly basic logic. Fortunately, there are work-arounds.

I’ve ported a few different AppKit interfaces to SwiftUI “1.0” on the Mac and the tech is pretty impressive; I am looking forward to exploring the Big Sur version of it.

The biggest problem they have right now is that subtle but important behaviors are being lost in the SwiftUI versions of controls, and they need to add them back. You start to notice how maybe keyboard focus isn’t quite the same, certain key bindings don’t work, tooltips aren’t present, etc. and it adds up. It is really quite easy to get something working in SwiftUI right now but it is really hard to polish it to the standards that Macs used to have.
This is the exact quote from tech support email:
"Hi. I downloaded your software. Something is wrong. What do I do?"
Yes US have a long track of purchasing EU company to destroy them. A China purchase looks almost (or maybe not) more friendly.
Generally true, but digest comparisons are a bad example. If you are hashing inputs on the server side, you can not determine a suitable pre-image through a timing attack without cracking the hash function.

Timing attacks are a problem when the server is checking a value the attacker can control bit-by-bit. Hashed values do not meet this requirement.
This is why I'm switching from DS to SWE. The communication hurdles with the business people are so hard for me. I've talked with other nerds my whole life and struggle to connect with and dissect the other side. That and the pay is better.

>..a way to do that is by having a personal domain, and have all mail sent to whatever email addresses at that domain you want this to happen for forwarded to your personal domain.

Been there. Done that. It doesn't work.

Having a catch-all email address like this just generates mountains of spam. There are spammers out there who will just carpet bomb domains with likely sounding email addresses in the hope one turns out to exist; admin@yourdomain.com, info@yourdomain.com, abuse@yourdomain.com, sales@yourdomain.com, ceo@yourdomain.com, personnel@yourdomain.com, management@yourdomain.com... etc. etc.

With a catch-all email on your domain, you'll end up getting all this spam -multiple times over!
> and none of the headaches that, say the JS ecosystem gives.

ECMAScript is the language, and it is amazingly backwards compatible back 20 years to about the start of the century without any trouble, and plenty of tooling like TypeScript can target ECMAScript 3 released a score of years ago.

Python could have added a ‘use strict’; in 3.0 to avoid a breaking change!?

Sure, since then browser features have radically changed and frameworks have changed, but the language itself has been extremely solid. Conflating JS and the ecosystem is not a fair comparison.

Also there have been many competing different implementations of JS engines, with amazing levels of compatibility between them (even Internet Explorer 5.5 released 2000 only had a few very minor known quibbles in the ECMAScript implementation).

Edit: Of course Unicode is actually hard to deal with because ECMAScript uses UTF16 for strings and symbols, even though the source code is usually written in UTF8. And note that the u flag was added to RegExp expressions to deal with Unicode better in ES2015 (especially U+10000 and greater, which are generally difficult to deal with in ECMAScript code).
>...itll keep you going up to 48 hours with almost no loss of focus or ability

That isn't true. Sleep deprivation will significantly impact your cognitive abilities even so, perhaps just not as much as it otherwise would.

Quality sleep on a regular basis is the foundation for anything sustainable, regardless of drugs.
Any good concurrency resources you recommend?
No, there's a new thing about giving GPUs some kind of DMA to storage. And it's pointless on HDDs, so it's only discussed in terms of SSDs.

Microsoft is bringing the DirectStorage API from XBox to Windows, Nvidia calls theirs RTX IO. I think they're the same class of idea, like Vulken vs. Metal.

They do have SBCs, I think, but other than being the basis for the Nintendo Switch I haven't heard much about them.
Messaging and email are different applications. People use messaging apps because of the rise of the mobile devices, not because these messaging apps use forward secrecy or ECC. Don’t try to link that adoption to crypto protocols!

Also, very few of these users actually use secure versions such as signal or wire. They all happily post on Facebook‘s messenger and WhatsApp and don’t care about crypto.
On the one hand, I have a hard time imagining that noise being more bothersome than the motor of powered boats, but with a sample size of two, it fits the data as well as any other theory.

Having said that, I think the simplest explanation for targeting sailboats is simply that the orcas are less likely to be injured by the motor, and it doesn't blast deafening static when you get close to it.
A much saner heuristic could use a reasonable range (for some value of reasonable) around the current timestamp to check whether it's also one. The assumption being that logs will be streamed, hence any timestamp will likely refer to something that happened in the recent past.

I'm not sure that group values the lack of side-loading specifically. I think what they do value is the additional security and privacy benefits provided by a platform that strictly controls the distribution of its apps.

To the extent that the lack of side-loading helps prevent the spread of malware and shady apps stealing user data, I think they value it indirectly.

Android has serious malware problems. Even Epic's attempt to distribute Fortnite off the Play Store has directly led to fake APKs being distributed to unsuspecting users.

I don't see how you can open up iOS to side-loading without exposing it to the exact same malware problems Android has.
We're working with Microsoft on a new data warehouse for analysts, and I'd say the biggest drawback is how everything's a committee decision.

We also have a data warehouse for our online public query system, but it's run in house. It's so easy to modify it or propose additions; I just email the guy in charge, CC his boss, and those two will decide if it's worth the time within a day.

The Microsoft warehouse? We still don't have it after a few years. Everything runs through multiple committees from multiple teams on our end before it's even brought up with the Microsoft rep. It's a terrible game of "whisper down the line," and too few players understand enough of the whole system. I don't know what's practical for the stack, Microsoft doesn't know what's practical for analysis, and the middlemen don't know how to prioritize anything. The public servants with access to all the info don't have time to coordinate this; that's why we contracted it out.

Firstly the EU doesn’t have the same requirements as the Chinese anti trust authorities, secondly it’s not about what they could do in theory but want can do in practice it’s politically impossible for the EU to block it now with Brexit going on.
I've 'modernised' such an old program then come back a few years later, realised the 'modern' ones don't run anymore and reverted to the old Fortran version.
I clicked around their page and looked at some of the templates they were selling.
Open source software is a public good. The government is responsible for creating and maintaining public goods. Where's the dissonance?
Yup. I owe any sense of simplicity in my work to my Dad.
Completely agree and your call center example is dead on. I work in telephony and our feedback from clients is always to simplify displays and reports so that they can manage the call flows better.

It was hilarious watching some of the reactions in our team when a client gave us a screenshot that was just boxes with numbers in them arranged neatly with no more than red/yellow/green for colors. Some saw ugly... I saw enhanced productivity.

Personally I think more UI/UX designers need to spend time doing data entry with time constraints so they learn the pains of repeated useless actions and time wasting features.
Respectfully this is awful advice, as someone who’s worked at FAANG and early stage startups. The idea that working for early stage startups will help you start your own is a myth propagated intentionally by founders/VCs to recruit SWEs with lowball offers.

FAANG is actually way better to meet cofounders. At Google you can have lunch with a talented person every day (there’s internal apps to network like this), plus countless other opportunities to network both formally and informally.

In contrast, at an early stage startup you’ll mostly work with the same people every day and your network will stagnate.

Furthermore, early stage startups tend to have a ton of work that needs to be done that they hire there engineers to do. Unless you get CTO title, you’re probably not going to get exposed much to the BD side or get investor access.

Finally, being able to work full time on your startup to get demo ready to pitch is super helpful. A nest egg from FAANG RSUs is key here, startup ISOs are probably worth nothing and will reduce your cushioning.

If you want to do a startup, go to networking events, apply to YC, etc but leaving FAANG to be an early stage employee w goal, not closer, especially if you don’t at least get CTO title.
If anybody really wanted to know "who started the fires," that's easy: It was you, driving that car of yours, running that air conditioner, heater, stove, fridge, washer/dryer, buying those products, living your life. Not a mystery. But nobody wants to know that. Consider each downvote a confirmation of that last sentence.
For nonfiction along these lines I would recommend reading Arthur Schopenhauer, Albert Camus, Friedrich Nietzsche, Alexander Solzhenitsyn, but most of all Primo Levi.

And for fiction it wouldn't hurt to add Fyodor Dostoevsky, Jose Saramago, and Gabriel Garcia Marquez as well.
A lot of this era of FPGAs was about how to configure the chip- Nobody wanted to use Xilinx's one time programmable serial ROMs.

I used to use some one shots to generate CCLK pulse delayed from an RS-232 start bit. The idea is you would load one bit at time into the FPGA, one bit for each RS-232 byte. Once the FPGA was configured, a UART implemented in FPGA logic would come alive and allow it to communicate with a PC.

Anyway, I used xc2064s in the mid 90s for a project once (they were obsolete then, but I had a tube of them). I modified a point of sale terminal (a little credit-card machine) so that it could be automated. This was for a methadone clinic: they had to check each recipient's social security number every day to verify their medicaid eligibility. So the FPGA would simulate keypresses and read the vacuum fluerescent display back to the PC. (My consulting fee was much cheaper than the medicaid software interface.)

Later I used an XC4010E for a PCI-bus interface for a video capture card. Again, how do you avoid the serial PROM? In this case, I used timed-out PCI configuration accesses to load the serial data. Even if the PCI device does not respond, the address lines of the configuration access make it through to the target, so you just need a fast flip flop to latch DIN and CCLK. Once the FPGA was loaded, the card would appear on the PCI bus (but long after enumeration). This worked until PC BIOS started to turn off the PCI clock on slots with no cards in them to save power.

Both of these were in the pre-Verilog days. To design the FPGA you drew a schematic into (in my case) OrCAD. Xilinx had a meta-design capability in those days (called xblox I think?), where one wire in the schematic was equivalent to entire bus. The actual width was a parameter on a primitive. Yes, I made a PCI interface in schematics, it was not fun.

Ask HN: My trippy dream; your thoughts?
I had 7-9 back to back to back dreams last night and I try to note down everything in a dream journal. I couldnt keep up last night and these are parts of what i remember of one particular dream:

1. The notion that our bodies are bio mechanical suits also acting like a space ship that has landed on earth.
2. There are zillions of 'alien' life forms inside these bodies.
3. There are many different alien space ships/bodies. They dont always get along with each other.
4.There was some gnarly stuff like child sacrifice and rape..but also nice ones like an underground city in a place like iceland or greenland with 12-15 ft tall people walking around..very friendly.

Now. I will admit to watching more than my usual share of Ancient Aliens on pandemic TV..but I havent watched that in a while. I am also wondering if there is some kind of sci-fi book with this theme? The last hard sci fi I read was Cixin Liu's three body problem...I got an audio book version of the trilogy and it was an entirely different experience. That was also earlier on during the pandemic. Lately I am in a smokey state of mind due to CA fires..in a very triggered survival mode. I have also been watching a Basque trilogy with child sacrifice, crime/thriller genre with a very moody vibe. I guess all them came together.

I wanted to share this with as many people as possible for feedback ...i want to know others' trippy dreams too...and also wondering if it can ever be a possiblity in a quasi sci fi reality that space ships can become bio mechanical suits for many life forms that live within it.

Thoughts? Any trippy dreams to share?
Satellites aren't always geo-stationary. There is no satellite solely launched with this specific goal in mind. Many satellites pass over a forest area at specified time of day. And in that time there should be enough illumination to discern a forest fire. But even if you spotted one via a real time photo, it would have already been widespread beyond control; it would have spread over a wide area to be discerned by a satellite photograph.
Yeah, even Alabama has high rated universities.

But it also has a broad problem of lack of quality of high school level education. Maybe a few good suburban school but the average is terrible.

Tuscaloosa is education center of Alabama, having the university of Alabama but secondary education is bad enough stop companies locating there.

"Around the late 1980s/early 1990s Saturn chose not to locate a plant in Tuscaloosa because of the performance of the public schools, and by 1993 the city leadership wanted Mercedes-Benz to build a plant there."

Oops, sorry, I apologise for the mistake. I have seen too much bad behaviour on the 'net, so naturally I assumed the worst. It's a valuable lesson at the modest cost of a few karma points. (I guess I violated HN guidelines too, there. Good thing I don't have the power to downvote yet. I might have done so, and never discovered my mistake.)
It's not too early to "commit" to SwiftUI. Just remember that "committing" doesn't mean writing every last bit of UI code in SwiftUI. At this stage, I think the best approach is to be using both UIKit and SwiftUI, and use whichever framework is better for implementing whatever specific features you're implementing.

For example, say I'm presenting a modal with a simple form. I'd use UIKit's UINavigationContoller to present the modal view, and within the modal's view, I'd have a UIHostingController which encapsulates the SwiftUI-defined form user interface. I can define form layouts (and other simple layouts) much quicker in SwiftUI than I can in UIKit, so I'm finding SwiftUI to be very helpful in that regard.
This is the worst part. 12 years to change the language’s Unicode model and, after all that, the new model turns out to be a bad design because in the meantime, everyone else has standardised on UTF-8.
When people complain about government inefficiency I always wonder if they've ever worked at a large company.
The institutions themselves are mixed and the student funding is also mixed but can lean towards private, especially if you are not a first pick for higher ed but are still capable. In non-US locations there can be no private funding option.

Student tuition has replaced a lot of government funding. As we can see it has gone to administrative spending. Do you think new unis would fix that?
The US department of defense's R&D budget is over 100 Billion/year, e.g. [0]. Google's is about a quarter of that. I realize R&D money isn't a proxy for ideas, but it is a proxy for the people that have them.

It wraps UIKit in some instances. But not most.
So many different options: Shipping confirmation emails, IP addresses of connected accounts, GPS of frequent locations (i.e at nights when you're presumably sleeping), phone number for 2FA that can easily be reverse-lookup'd to PII databases, etc. etc.

As a successful startup founder I see both sides of the table, the problem for business founders seem to be that they literally have no idea what a good technical founder looks like often signing up junior devs as cofounders.

Then I see great devs and tech leads that wonder how to break into engineering management or CTO of a credible startup because all they see is random people with no clue pitching them.

Reach out to me and if you're a solid engineer I'll find you a solid business partner. (email in profile)
Just that you're asking this question strongly suggests you should not.

perl5 meets that except for the REPL. Maybe elisp?
I feel like golang could take the place of a lot of Python out there, but not all, certainly.

It would be nice to have an alternative to Python that took backwards compatibility seriously. Might be easier to start from Python2 than to go from scratch. You might be able to add a REPL to perl5, but its syntax isn't the most beginner friendly I've ever seen.
I really dislike the name of the company. Screams copycat and scam.

Alternative views into those same text files would be nice. You could color-code the type of a snippet (yaml string/float issues) or nested blocks. You could offer a graph view of dependencies (context-dependent -- could be services, function calls, modules, docker base images, etc...).

Text files are nice (and I've yet to see anything that would be a good replacement for most uses), but that doesn't mean we can't offer extra tooling/views into that data when it would be more convenient.

If it's a pub/sub model, you wouldn't care at all about how many were watching right? You'd just publish.

And for something like Twitter, you'd probably Publish but then also log to some kind of "Notifications" store, so if a user did care but was not actively watching, on their next subscription they'd receive the messages they'd missed.
Ubuntu only does security patches to my knowledge, so don’t expect and bug fixes. Better than nothing however.
But the oil companies that lobbied to prevent any action on climate change, to make sure oil subsidies remain and renewable subsidies don't come to pass, that funded FUD research on climate change when their own confidential, internal research said it was a problem, they are completely blameless.

It is individual consumers, whose every attempt at organized action has been sabotaged, that are to blame.

Thanks for sharing your perspective and the example about how you choose your projects. I don't disagree with you. This applies to some things but not others. I mostly referred to working on important problems, startups, and businesses. Even in startups and businesses, this can have the opposite effect (like the one you mentioned). In fact, in this very same quote I added a footnote below to explain this. I really liked your perspective about how if you end up being too extreme, you end up competing anyway but this time for the attention.

the sailboats have a streamlined "displacement" underwater body which naturally - due to optimizing for the same hydrodynamic laws - resembles large mammal body.
