> most apps with complex navigation, data entry, and validation this is absolutely not true.

You mean we just imagined all of that existing? You could make an argument saying you personally haven’t learned how to do it but that’s a far cry from “absolutely not true”.
>"However you also implying a bigger claim that C++, or something similar, is preferable in web development, where you mostly do string handling, is not something I can agree with."

I was contracting with a decent size org a while ago and they had tons of web applications, some of them very giant. The total size of their code is insane and it is all PHP and Python on a server size. I was personally dealing with their application that had more than 5000 source code files. There was a lot of logic in there I would say, not just ReadString / TransformString / WriteString. That particular application would've definitely benefited from faster language.

I understand that in many cases most of the heavy lifting is done with the libs created in C/CPP and the rest is just a thin glue but I do not really know the real world stats on a subject.

So you can be right or not or the truth is somewhere in a middle.
Does this mean that each node can only run a single vm size? Like one XXL or two xls or four larges, etc, but no mixing and matching? (I got that impression looking at outposts pricing too, it appears you have to decide your vm sizes up front, unless I'm reading it wrong)
Yeah I just found that. Unfortunately you cannot export to any non-native formats with the student edition you can get from there, so not particularly useful if you want to 3D print or laser cut anything.
Same thing the former CEO of HeadSpin has reportedly done.
8088 was only three years later than z80 and it was much better than it. But cost also matters.. I just looked at 1982 Byte Magazine at the "JDR Microdevices" ad in the back:

Z80A $6.00
Z80B $18.95
6502 $6.95
6502A $12.95
6809 $24.95
8088 $39.95
That's a kind of dangerous line of thinking.

It's impossible to prove that it was not grown in a lab, which is why the burden is to show that it _was_ grown in a lab. Until we have that, we shouldn't be sharing stories about how it _might_ have been grown in a lab.
Have you played Onward on the Quest?
I just found a book at an electronics store yesterday for the Z80. I believe it was copyright 1980. Nice post.
My impression of spike attachment, via mediator, to the ACE2 is for cellular entry. I am not sure if this will exhaust the other ACE2 on other cells. That said a saturation level of spike in the blood so all cells lose spike in all areas is very unlikely, as this would, in all certaintly, be lethal??
A full blown infection - does it ever reach the level of ACE2 exhaustion - or are there many cells no reached? Heart cells - death of many heart cells would be a problem?
My take on this emphasis on being first: it's a reflection of how we view society as a competition, in business, warfare, and interpersonal relationships. To be "first to market", to have "first-mover advantage", is to demonstrate competence and superiority. Planting a flag on the moon was, partly, such a move.

There's some truth to it, I believe, but the mentality is seemingly applied too broadly, to areas where there aren't any advantages - other than maybe reputation (which could be considered a real advantage).

I agree with you that the apparent focus on "me first" is misplaced, when the effort to create a reliable vaccine is a global concern. The emphasis should be on its efficacy, in solving the immediate problem together.
Moore's law is about transistors. It's not dead, it's alive.

The problem is you can't use that law to increase speed of CPUs. You don't need more transistors, you need faster transistors and Moore's law does not help with that. We had 4GHz 15 years ago, most of CPUs still work under 4 GHz nowadays. But with more transistors you can implement some common operations in hardware (like crypto, vector operations). Also you can just increase core count. Or you can put energy-efficient core along with energy-hungry core. And those things happen with CPUs. Unfortunately many workloads are still single-thread capped.

GPU on the other side is inherently multi-threaded. You need 8k? You just need 4x transistors compared to 4k resolution. So GPUs will evolve even further and there's no limit, at least until we hit transistor wall.
I use https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/panorama-tab-... to give me an overview. Currently at 232 tabs in _this_ window, my other windows have 445, 108, and 18 tabs.

Firefox does let you select multiple tabs and bookmark your selection as a folder, it also lets you expand a folder of bookmarks as tabs. I don't use either feature though, as my tab use tends to be more around not closing a tab until I'm done with the task associated with it, by which time I've opened another dozen and working out which I can close is too much effort.

That will fail when, instead of turning the rectangle into a pentagon, you rotate it 45 degrees into a rotated rectangle.

I suspect that SolidWorks solves this by naming each face after, for example, the sketch line segment or arc that it was extruded from. But I'm not sure.
It's not just a matter of hacking though, I'm sure states do this sort of thing, it's the fact that this hacked information was used in a very targeted way to influence the US electoral system with specific political aims.
Sounds like a witch hunt. Big corpo tries to get rid of competitor. And once again government destroyed someones life. Now that he cannot do his part anymore its so easy to proof he deceived investors because well he doesn’t have any numbers to show si yeah he was lying. And besides, who didn’t flex a slide or two to show future numbers how they hoped it will look instead of honest truth. If thats the case then DOJ has to come and knock at door of every Hacker News user, or any IT person in that matter.

Pretty funny that you say he shouldn't be able to talk because people can't control their emotions, and hate everything he says just because he's the one that said it. Maybe those people should learn to communicate like adults instead of expecting everyone they don't like to be quiet.
OT: 'Lingua franca' might be my favourite term. AIUI its a Portuguese term to refer to the 'Frankish language', the Franks being Germanic (not Gallic; somewhat akin to the situation of Angles and Britons) and somehow it's used normally to refer to English [not exclusively ofc, there are many lingua franca].

We could just say 'common tongue', but that's just not the English [Language] way - far too simple.
That (emulating CCP policies) is exactly what the US is NOT doing. Instead, the US has chosen to surgically target companies from specific countries (in this case, China) in a sensible, reciprocal reaction.

(I see many posters saying the US should pass legislation like the laws that China has, rather than respond in a surgical, targeted way. Doing so would have far more restricting effects.)

When US imposes tariffs on Canada, we expect Canada to impose reciprocal tariffs on the US; these serve to discourage the original action (US-imposed tariffs), and encourage the free flow of trade. Similarly, reciprocal reactions by India and the US serve the exact goal that you mentioned -- leading by example, discouraging other countries from imposing the same restrictions in non-reciprocal ways, and encouraging the free flow of software/information.
Bill Gates Sr Helped Howard Schultz Buy Starbucks
It's real hard to argue that the bulk of US Intelligence services got this wrong especially as more time passes. For example, compare it to the Iraq WMD claims that were critical in swaying opinion (or validating a vote) but were shown to be misleading at best as reports surfaced. We have had a ton of whistleblowers and reports within the current administration that suggest that the intelligence services are solid, especially at the start of the current presidential term, wile it is the leadership itself with a long list of lies and false claims meant to sow discord and division. The FBI has been calling out white nationalism for decades but only recently are we seeing militias march into state capitols or take over government buildings by force, or police unions defend cops with words like "Get F*," on their rifle.

I'm sticking with the 007 analysis that UK intel is golden and the US contact is about as cowboy as a spy can get but won't stand injustice.
I don’t think OP’s tried VR either. Any of my friends who tried VR once was immediately blown away by it. It’s such a paradigm shift. You want a play paintball in space, in a medieval setting? It happens immediately. There is nothing in real life that makes up for it.

A super summarized version of the Linux From Scratch (LFS) 10.0 book
Hi everyone. I've written some instructions and scripts to build LFS (Linux From Scratch), version 10.0, as simply as possible (I know, not that simple, but anyway). It's basically a super summarized version of the LFS book.

You can check the instructions and get the scripts from my GitHub repository: https://github.com/luisgbm/lfs-scripts

Key points:

- First, this guide does not replace reading the whole LFS book. I highly recommend that you read it at least once. Only then you should use the automation scripts provided here.

- The whole process is run inside VirtualBox.

- You need two hard disks attached to your VM (one for the host, one for receiving the LFS build).

- Most steps will be executed via Shell scripts (there are four of them).

- Some steps need to be manually run.

- At the end, you will be able to create a separate VM and boot from it directly.

Hope you enjoy it, and feel free to send me feedback.
Tetanus is neither "cold & flu" nor is it "viruses & bacteria". It's a toxin created by soil bacteria, not a bacteria that lives in human. This is relevant since we're talking about the immune system responses.
Isn't this taking things to a logical extreme?
I don't have a startup to submit (of course, THAT'S the no-code generator site I'd love to see), but the design looks good.

I'm curious about behind the scenes, of course, like the number of "flows/ zaps/ etc" for a given submission. Some testimonials would be nice, IMHO.

Also, I noticed one minor typo, in Step 1: "This will only takes a few minutes."
Mozilla sucks at software. They are prescriptive, and always changing. They practice the worst of open source (give today, take tomorrow, user no choice, auto-updates), and they cannot keep up with enterprise in their own domain.
I switched to Alacritty+tmux on macOS about 2 months back. The only complaint I have is a tmux one (nested tmux sessions suck.)

As a corollary, since the most carbon-expensive part of a computing project is the humans that maintain it, a variation of Amdahl's law says we should optimize for human efficiency if we want to reduce the carbon footprint.

Some things are a no-brainer, like allowing remote work when possible: that's an enormous energy savings.

It also means that development speed is much more important than execution speed in most cases. For example, yes, Python is a "slow" language. But in almost every case, it makes more sense for devs to deploy a website in Python than, say, hand-tuned assembler. The latter may require fewer clock cycles to run, but it's going to require 100x the resources to implement. That gets more difficult to quantify if you're trying to compare, say, Rust vs Go where both require similar amounts of development effort and the end performance is similar, but I think you can reasonably say that modern, high level languages are more carbon efficient than lower level ones that take longer to develop in most cases (like, that might not hold in cases of supercomputing where you're executing the code a gazillion times in parallel).
It works for small files, but not large files (several GB). I don't know why, but I have experienced unknown failure when transmitting large files.
question for VR people: is the tech at a place yet where a headset could be a monitor replacement for productivity work? i mean my laptop screen is 13" -- could i instead be coding on a virtual 100" screen, still using my regular OS, keyboard and trackpad?

One trick I used a lot with the Z80 is the conditional return instructions. Instead of doing a jump, structure your functions so you could return early on one of the condition flags. The jump instructions were 3 bytes, the return instructions were only 1.

>Two very resourceful companies are fighting over money.

Epic appears to be valued at 17-ish billion. Apple is the largest company on earth.

Comparing their sizes, that's something like the People's Republic of China fighting with New Zealand.

I've seen this strange attempt of comparing Epic to Apple before though, as if a single individual games company actually has the same resources as the company controlling a significant part of the global computing infrastructure
Which is nothing compared with what it used to be back in the J2ME, Symbian, Brew, Blackberry days where it went all the way up to 80%.

It is also the same value as game consoles, which apparently Epic is fine with.

> Running your site in a container on a shared host will be significantly more energy efficient then running hardware. It's silly to claim otherwise.

It certainly depends on the scope of the site. My personal sites? If they run on their own bare metal, it's a waste because they're idle to nine nines. My previous work sites? www filled up four machines, so bare metal was more efficient.

What would be most efficient for my current sites is an old school shared host --- no containers, one httpd, etc. VPS is more fun, but you can't fit as many mostly idle customers into a single box with that.
I guess from my point of view the Windows Store is not different to the other stores, especially Steam which been the defacto standard for years.

As for physical games, what are you playing it on? Looking at my local PC retailer, none of their gaming desktops or laptops and only 1/47 of their other laptops actually have a disk drive. Even many of the cases have no 5.25" bays.
Hydrofluoric acid is part of the acidic etch solution used to remove saw damage from and add texture to multicrystalline silicon wafers. Monocrstyalline wafers are treated with alkaline solutions of e.g. potassium hydroxide.

https://pv-manufacturing.org/acid-texturing/

Since the industry is rapidly shifting to monocrystalline silicon, for reasons of cell efficiency, acidic etching too will be much less common in 2025 than it was in 2015.

Of course the use of HF is not a knock against solar. Nuclear fuel production also uses HF as well as elemental fluorine. Petroleum alkylation units use HF too. In all these cases the HF is part of the production process but is not present in the final product.
That the chip is running an operating system provided by the chip manufacturer does not imply the OEM didn't add their own stuff. Even the part you emphasized includes the "custom web application on top" which is probably not provided by HiSilicon. (Otherwise, what's custom about it?)
A new project manager was asking me to implement a modal that opened an additional modal on top of it. I lightly trolled him by asking if we were worried about the power consumption of opening multiple modals at once.
I don't believe so. It's definitely still got some stability issues.
It doesn't need memory anymore. Writes raw to spinning disk. 2% faster -50% of the time
That's fair enough. It's unfortunate that adding fillets is a big design change in OpenSCAD while it's something you can easily add last-thing in other packages.

Because it's so programmable, most things can be made fairly easy if you think of them in time, by writing procedures, once. I'm interested, actually: I would have thought that long-time users would have developed some sort of tip or trick for this, recognising at the start the kinds of changes that might be difficult to make laters and planning them in at the start. Maybe internal rounded corners are just too much hassle any way you look at it.

Why did you choose not to blow the whistle?
There shouldn't be any difference. The fact there are differences is a symptom of a broken procurement process where you get your specs from the person who has purchasing power, or an executive, or really anyone except the people who'll end up using that software.

If you have a saying, you can advocate to include those who will actually use the product.

If you are not forbidden to get in touch with them (believe it or not, some execs will forbid you to include the people you're building for in the conversation), you can try and tighten the feedback loop.

If you're designing to a rigid spec, then it pains me to say it doesn't matter: You will get paid but nobody will use your software. Those are the bitterest dollars.

SolveSpace has a lot of constraints & this is a key feature of SolveSpace.

What "missing constraints" you talking about?
Credit card charges interest, and any kind of interest is considered usury/riba and it is forbidden. Loan was supposed to be social activities where the other party should not benefits anything from it. If they want to provide money and gain profits, then they can do the investment contracts, which means now there’s a possibility of loss for the investor. This is halal and considered as a partnership.

Digital wallet is recognized as such:
1. User “lend” money to the digital wallet provider when they top up, say $100
2. The money is used for any kind of things as it enters the circulation of the wallet provider, it could be invested, it could be loss
3. When wallet provider provides cashback, say they spent $100 then they obtained back $10
4. The $10 is considered as interest because now the user have $110 on their wallet (the $100 already spent though) - despite they only “lend” the wallet provider $100.

Conventional bank and conventional credit cards exist in Indonesia, some provides cash back and other kind of rewards. So yes, it does exist.

I unreasonably avoid frameworks that have O(n) routing. For some reason I just feel like the standard should be O(1) with the number of routes. There is a crate https://github.com/http-rs/route-recognizer which does this but most frameworks roll their own which just loops over the registered routes and takes the first one.

It can be slightly less flexible, however in most cases if you are using this sort of flexibility your URL structure is too confusing anyways. Since you can group together an number of regular expressions and match them in O(n) with the length of the URL you clearly have a lot of flexibility available.

Of course I should probably check the real benchmarks because the NFA based approach almost certainly has more overhead.

Not saying they shouldn't do it, but in a company with finite resources dedicated to the needs of 100,000,000 users, <1% of whom would ever look at such a thing, not getting around to that feature would make a non-zero amount of sense.
It's definitely not how to show that, but if you follow their link (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1VJFx-kQ4KjJmnpDXIEai...), you'll see the numbers.
