I find the interface for Bookmarks sucks also. 'Show all Bookmarks' presents a clumsy floating window you need to arrange with your browser window and is useless for batch operations. You can do 'Show Sidebars' but pressing delete on a selected Bookmark doesn't do the obvious thing of deleteing a bookmark. Its quite cumbersome to right click -> context menu -> delete when you're pruning dozens, hundreds of things.
>US interferes in elections in many countries

Sure, and I totally understand if those other countries decide to take steps to prevent that interference from happening. It is perfectly reasonable for them to want to do so, just like it is for the US.
Market growth can cover a lot. Even if, say, Svelte gets bigger than Vue in the future, Vue could still be bigger than it is today.
I can tell you that not only he is right, but I've used Vue for exactly that purpose before and works like a charm.

You can go pretty far using Vue with a <script> tag before you start needing build tooling.
I've been thinking about a reddit like site where the communities are organized categorically using a btree like structure. Posts bubble up through the tree as they get more attention.

Filtering would be easy. Don't like cooking? Clip that subtree. Only want nsfw? Make that subtree your root.

Did you recently find Stargate SG1 and want to know what other kind of sci-fi is out there? Check /t/tv/sci-fi and see what else is popular.

It would be tough making sure subtrees are categorized correctly. Modding would also be tough since parents probably need ways to block children but that feature can be abused.

Many topics should have multiple parents which would complicate things some. Maybe internally everything is a single graph that's represented as a tree visually for users.

I guess there's plenty left to think through but it would be a cool experiment.
I would assume this goes on A LOT. There is a lot of trust given to employees in tech companies.
I liked this old "Why FreeBSD?" article there :-)

The problem is, those numbers are nowhere near close to the price of making triple-A games. I heard Assassins Creed Origins cost 80 mio and Odyssey was 100 mio. With that in mind, "Top games have made over $10m" sounds like we won't be seeing high quality VR games anytime soon.
Do you know any DDD experts that offer consulting services?

Story from two years ago
I’m tired of pointing this out. The reply is consistently “So what? It’s my cheap Linux SBC now and until you can find something better for $40, go away.”

I‘be been booting off of eMMC on an A7 for years now. I don’t get any of this anymore.
Lately I’ve just been completely powering off my phone and leaving it in another room while I’m coding. Not that it ever was much of a problem for me, but I’ve really been enjoying one less (massive) distraction.
Why use entropy at all in considering password strength?
Off-topic: I’ve seen a few posts about CAD programs recently, and it reminded me of a product that I want but haven’t found yet.

I often need to draw 2D vector graphics for digital or print. Since I suck a bezier curves (and they feel imprecise anyway) and manually arranging and combining geometric shapes can be tedious I want an interface for drawing that mimics the sketch function of SolidWorks or Fusion360 and the like with the constraint system and so on.
You wouldn't. It's not what tick tock would do, that can be achieved just as easily on any other social network as is routinely done, it's that you can't pay tick tock to do whatever you want to do like with an american company.
Agreed. Accepting the bribe seems to be a worse offense than offering it. I'm not sure why the employees were not indicted.
You're right, I don't often need mobile maps. It's just that when I do, it's unexpected.
> Could a "merely" sentient software-driven but not conscious/self-aware robot be built that washes my dishes / cutlery and puts them away, keeps my permaculture garden tended/weeded, separates recyclables, washes, hang dries when feasible / conventional-dries when not, folds, puts away clothes / towels / fabric products, dusts, vacuums, puts away clutter, etc.?

Probably. It could also probably convincingly portray itself as conscious if set to that task, for versimilitude's sake. Whether it is set to that task will probably depend on whether that seems to be the shortest path out of the uncanny valley.

At which point... I'm not sure there is any difference left worth talking about.
> I didn't know Cornwall was a mining center.

Yep, for 4,000 or so years! Cornish tin made its way into lots of Bronze Age goods. It’s amazing to me the extent of trade that long ago, where Cornish tin made its way into the Mediterranean and beyond.
especially when both sides of the political coin gunning for Section 230, I can see how they were concerned about it.
IMO problem is not enough public space for bikes, peds and public transport to begin with. It's obviously impossible solve for US, AU, NZ and the like. But in old cities we can definitely reclaim the space from private cars for the greater good. Watch https://www.youtube.com/c/TheLifeSizedCity/playlists to see how selfish car infrastructure is with no consideration for anyone else. In many cases something like 90% of public space is dedicated to cars....

If you wan't people to stop using something - make it inconvenient. SUV's are bloody good for car focused cities, especially for families. They are useless in large European cities by design and we're not even talking silly sizes like in US. A crossover (which is also smaller in EU than in US) is too big and too impractical.

That said amazing how one class of vehicles is vilified and others are OK. Seems buses and utility trucks and headphones don't kill pedestrians. Only personal SUV's kill pedestrians. Guess who'd want to push such narrative...
Technically it should be possible, since Darwin at least used to run in qemu. But... it's gonna suck performance-wise, since you're emulating x86_64 on AArch64, and of course I don't need to remind you of the legal issues. And, for that matter, that we're basically talking about a hackintosh VM, so don't expect long-term stability.

Yes - a rival mp3 player producer pioneered the idea of episodic audio content that was automatically downloaded to the device to listen to on the go. But then they went bankrupt, and other developers implemented it for the iPod, which was the most popular device and that's the medium on which they caught on first, hence the name. Especially helped when Apple added actual support for iTunes.

Also why the iTunes directory is the defacto podcast directory used by most independent podcast applications.
I wonder if someone has taken advantage of this. Responding with one site for search indexing over HTTP/1 and another over HTTP/2 (which most users would actually get).
I think adding the -- to the end, to stop option processing is advisable as well. Where that's supported, of course.

Some may disagree, but unexpected flags passing through seems dangerous to me.
I posted this a day or two ago:

The A100 whitepaper "spoiled" a lot of these factoids already. (https://www.nvidia.com/content/dam/en-zz/Solutions/Data-Cent...)
The new bit seems to be the doubling of FP32 "CUDA cores" (I really hate that word: when Intel or AMD double their CPU pipelines it doesn't mean that they're selling more cores, it means their cores got wider... anyway). A100 didn't have this feature (I assume A100 was 16 Floating point + 16 Integer "Cuda cores" per CU like Turing. Correct me if I'm wrong)

You don't need to read the whitepaper to understand that NVidia has really improved performance/cost here. The 3rd party benchmarks are out and the improved performance is well documented at this point.

The FP32 doubling, is one of the most important bits here. But fortunately for programmers, this doesn't really change how you do your code. The compiler / PTX assembler will schedule your code at compile time to best take advantage of that.

The other bit: larger L1 / Shared memory of 128kB per CU, does affect programmers. GPU programmers have tight control over shared memory, and is very useful for optimization purposes.

----------

GDDR6's improved memory bandwidth is also big. "Feeding the beast" with faster RAM is always a laudable goal, and sending 2-bits per pin per clock cycle through PAM4 is a nifty trick.

Sparse Tensor Cores were already implemented in A100, and don't seem to be new. If you haven't heard of the tech before, its cool: basically hardware accelerated sparse-matrix computations. A 4x4xFP16 matrix uses 32 bytes under normal conditions, but can be "compressed" into 16 bytes if half-or-more of its values are 0. NVidia Ampere supports hardware-accelerated matrix multiplications of these 16-byte "virtual" 4x4xFP16 matrixes.

I swear that RTX I/O existed before in some other form. This isn't the first time I heard about offloading PCIe to the GPU. Its niche and I don't expect video games to use it (are M.2 SSDs popular enough to be assumed on the PC / Laptop market yet?). But CUDA-coders probably can control their hardware more carefully and benefit from such a feature
It's pretty tied to the hardware. Closest obvious option might be to boot your board to uboot and then chain to the real payload?
i think he means why didn't they buy the rights to the name "vine"
Nah man, that's the beauty of Reddit. Reddit isn't a single thing. /r/esp8266 is dope. /r/prusa3d is ledge. They figured out the mop/geek problem by just allowing arbitrary namespacing. Way better than any free community. Maybe Metafilter is better if you want to spend the $5. Dunno.

Lobste.rs tried that for technical stuff with tags and that engine is really powerful but the community never took off.

HN, of course, well, you know what it's like here when people of diverse interests and moral foundations are placed together.

I wonder what happened after that? Could he continue working as if nothing special, just failing to raise money?
It's not only in the abstract - "category" occurs all over the document. Possibly he's poking fun at category theory/theorists.
Boot media isn't the problem, proprietary firmware is, and that's not changing here.
The Motorola Rokr was a real phone (and failure) that had iTunes:

So this style of casual racism / xenophobia is ok if directed at approved targets?

Pretty sure if it happened to be 6 African American individuals who were indicted it would not be acceptable to say "Don't outsource your work to low-level Black contractors".
My favorite headline: "Drivers using cell phones are more likely to crash".

15 years later and we still haven't solved that one. It's interesting how much has changed and how much has stayed the same in 15 years.

And how would the Arab spring have gone with Saddam still in power? It's too simple to boil the situation down to one sentence; that also ignores that Hussein was a brutal Tyrant who had used Weapons of Mass destruction (Chemical Weapons including Mustard Gas and Nerve Agents) as part of a genocide against the Kurds.

The invasion wasn't the hamfisted part - the problem was being reckless after the invasion and not really thinking properly about how to manage the country.
I'm not talking syntax. I'm saying that vue can be added on top of a third party DOM that may have server-rendered data embedded in it. You cannot hydrate React on top of dynamic HTML that was generated with JSP/PHP/.NET/etc unless you a) give up JSX (a big departure from idiomatic React) and b) interpolate server variables into your JS (a no-no in pretty much every non-SPA framework)

For example, take a rails app, then do the equivalent of $('#foo').toggle() based on some condition. In React, AFAIK you can't unless React knows what the markup being toggled is somehow. Vue can do it without knowing anything about the markup inside, and more importantly, the code will look idiomatic.
Nope. He's collaborating with his son on it, and he's being extremely careful to keep the work highly partitioned for IP reasons. He doesn't want a repeat of the ZenniMax lawsuit. I'd read it as his sunset project for his career, where he gets to take a longshot at something really ambitious, while enjoying hacking with his son.
Except that it should frame its policies based on game theory if it ever plans to survive against China. Which is exactly what it's doing. The time to take the high road against bad actors is over.
> So not a literal monopoly.

You're really fixated on this phrase but you don't really seem to understand what they mean. A literal monopoly means a single company that controls the entire market. Of course that is not required. I did not say a literal monopoly was required. The text I quoted did not say a literal monopoly was required. No one said a literal monopoly was required.

The text I quoted says that monopoly power is required. That is all.
Without much knowledge about the process: Is it a problem to have it handled via some centre? I.e. you're asking X to dispatch all of those requests for you which would free you up to drive? (And get either one of those calls connected directly to you as needed)
God damn I can't believe how many people are there out there as dumb as you labeling some marketers as "Performance Marketers" --- It's literally just the years term, last year it was "Growth Hackers".

Rule 1 to hiring a marketer, don't hire one who thinks a performance marketer is any different than a growth hacker and believes these titles actually mean something.

It shows how dumb they are along with how "trend riding" they are / new to the game.
Problem is they are convienient in cities. Make your cities unusable for the size and it's problem solved. Just make your streets more narrow. Removing parking is a dick move. Taxing is pointless.

For people with special needs - subsidise specialised Uber. For the very few tradies who actually need to lug cargo narrower street is minor inconvenience.
The problem is when there is no reciprocity.

The CCP plays the game unfairly and cheats blatantly.
Free speech advocates should be celebrating this decision, rather than trying to portray it as something evil.

"Employees shouldn’t have to confront social issues in their day-to-day work unless they want to." - What part of that is bad?

Regardless of your opinions, your ability to do great work should be separated from your ability to have social/political arguments.

Much like you shouldn't force anyone at work to be Vegan, because you are, or to avoid Gluten, because you do, you also should not insist that employees participate in discussions that are otherwise none of their interests.

Making sure that employees can ignore the social noise and continue to do their job is a net positive - better for the employer, and better for the employee.
It's not bribe if it's an authentic, official channel.

For eg. if the DMV starts a program where you can pay $50 to get an instant walk-in appointment, it's not a bribe. However, if a DMV employee asks you to slip her a 50 dollar bill in return of an instant appointment, that is a bribe.
CCP has increased oversight of more private companies this week as well

as someone who has used both Vue and React in a _very_ legacy system, I can say unequivocally that Vue was massively easier to integrate into our system than React was.
The parent didn't say reciprocation is always the answer. Stop putting words in people's mouth and derailing the conversation. In this case it makes sense to do a tit-for-tat ban to hurt them.
That's a fantastic read; thank you for sharing it.

I wonder what happened after that, how did you leaving affect the company
Who knew one could fit so many forms of oppression into an article on a programming language?

I should say that I find it perfectly reasonable the organizations should write accounting systems in a language designed for writing accounting systems, rather than in one designed for porting Space Wars or writing moderately portable operating systems. However,

"users of COBOL could write the same command as:

MULTIPLY EARNINGS BY TAXRATE GIVING SOCIAL-SECUR ROUNDED.

As you can tell from the COBOL version, but probably not from the FORTRAN version, this line of code is a (simplified) example of how both languages could compute a social security payment and round the total to the penny. "

No, actually, I can't tell. Yes, I can infer the social security payment, but how far rounded I cannot.

I would also say that though COBOL has substantial advantages for those writing accounting systems, there are many other things one might want to do with a computer, and for some of them COBOL is just not that good. Like many people out there, I find myself writing a lot of small programs/scripts to put crummy data into a usable shape. For this Perl or Python--not great accounting languages--work very well; my impression is that COBOL wouldn't.

The other point not mentioned is the cost. COBOL vendors' license terms tend to make Larry Ellison look like Richard Stallman. I guess GNU Cobol may be good enough to learn on, but I suspect that few take that route.
I get your point but I think Snake Oil might be too harsh. More like flu vaccine. Proven effective against an attack that was going around and similar attacks but not really guaranteed to prevent all strains of flu.

So no guarantees on whether it will solve all of your apps problems, but from a public health perspective likely to save VMs from getting owned in aggregate.
Similar story in the old company I worked for. Though I have experienced that there are a few companies that are happy with Angular and see no reason to switch.
The one that almost got me was

Of course, that came in on my phone, as I was leaving for the day, and phone doesn't show email address or link destination. :(
Probably because nobody was using actual psychologists to fuck with your mind yet.
A lot of the web isn't publicly accessible. And most .com marketing sites are built on a much different tech stack than the actual product. Example: landing page is Wordpress, actual site is a SPA (be it React/Angular/Vue etc).
You have to make that tradeoff.

Think about Enigma and Lorenz, or any cold war double agent - you've got this fountain of knowledge but if you start burning assets left right and centre they'll realize something's wrong (Or in the case of MI6 they'll get embarrassed and allow the double agent to slip away as long as they shut up)
Show HN: We've Developed a Kubernetes Bootcamp
Sure but the rpi's can be quite price misleading. If you go pick them up at your local retail store that carries them its frequently a $120 date by the time case, heat sink, powersupply, and disk are thrown in. The base cost for the 8G rpi is something like $70, Then you still have to figure out what to do about the missing RTC, SATA, whatever, for a lot of applications.

So, yes its obvious that the $35 model (which at a minimum is really more like $45 because its not usable without a powersupply and maybe SD card) is sufficient for a lot of things. But its also being wedged into places where its not $35 anymore and in those cases its fair to compare with more expensive boards if those boards come with features that someone is adding a hat or external device for.
Not the parent but I have a similar setup. I use volumio music software on 4 raspberry pi 3b+, each with a hifiberry amp to drive speakers. If you couple these with snapcast, you have a diy whole house sonos-like setup. Works well and I control volumes through home assistant.

Not familiar with netbooting, but will be looking into it!
I’m a bush fire fighter in Australia. We do make use of technology and we’re bringing more in but reliability and dependability is _so critical_.

All of my brigades trucks have iPads which are useful for accessing maps, running collaborative fireground apps like collector, firemapper or rfsBuddy, etc. All of these things are “nice to have” though. We don’t rely on it for anything we must have, because it fails from time to time.

We use apps like Rover and Bart to manage call outs. They’re great because we can see who’s responding, how far away they are, etc. We also all carry ancient pagers because they’re bulletproof and mobile phones aren’t. They’re served by a hardened transmission network where every tower has backup power in case the grid goes down.

Tech is great but in extreme environments like a wildfire I want to have a paper map with me and I want to know how to use it. Just in case.
I see the confusion.

100% more of something = 2x more

120% more of something = 2.2x more

120% less of something (problem here!) = 2.2x less = 1 / 2.2 of something = 45% of something

I think the writer meant 2.2x improvement in memory usage rather than 120% less memory usage -- the word "less" used in conjunction with a percentage is confusing.
How much is “large”?
I also can't shake the suspicion that aside from the very carefully moderated subs it's mostly a completely natural toxic cesspit. triketora's recent AMA was truly something else.
I had the same problem for a bit. I used windows at work and OSX at home. The context switching was hell. I gave in eventually and use windows at home now as well. And you know what? It turned out cheaper, better and faster even though 99% of what I do is on Linux, in a VM.
It's a good question actually. Intel tried to make a GPU called Larrabee that was mostly a bunch of small x86 cores with giant vector units. Turns out that it couldn't compete in rendering performance on existing games (in 2010) without the fixed function units that GPUs have, so they canceled it as a GPU. It did result in the AVX-512 instruction set though.

I think the idea still has promise but there's a chicken and egg issue where you'd really need to rearchitect game engines and content pipelines to take full advantage of the flexibility before you'd see a benefit. It's possible that it would work better today, and it's also possible that Intel just gave up too early. In some cases we're already seeing people bypassing the fixed function rasterizer in GPUs and doing rasterization manually in compute shaders [1] [2].

You make it sound like the main reason Europe still doesn't have a viable Google/FB competitor is the fact that their citizens have access to Google/FB.

I have a strong feeling that it might not be the case at all, given that Russia also has access to Google/FB, and yet they have their own viable and massively popular competitors (Yandex for Google, VK for Facebook).
We have best practices, laws like HIPAA and standards like PCI DSS.
So how long until it comes out that this was all a lie, and really they just flipped one of the server admins?
p.s. It's very likely that this response will get instantly down-voted because it doesn't align with current socio-political stance prevalent on the forum. That in itself is however a prime example of what Zuck is trying to avoid at Facebook.
