I recently built a system based around a Ryzen 5 3600 CPU and Radeon RX 5600 XT GPU, and in both Windows 10 and Linux with a 5.4+ kernel it's rock solid. Gaming in Windows is simply amazing and it pairs well with my 1440p monitor. On Linux gaming is also extremely good, with only a couple of "Windows only" titles acting buggy under Proton/Steam. Considering Proton itself is in its infancy, that's to be expected.

With native performance on official Linux games on par with or better than the Windows equivalent, and more and more games getting Linux ports due to Vulkan, I just about have no need to boot into Windows at home anymore apart from Fusion 360.

As a workstation in Windows, since I don't overclock I don't see any stability issues. Fusion 360 is fast and fluid unlike my 8 year old Sandy Bridge dinosaur at work, even after adding a GT 1030. Good quality Crucial RAM and a no-frills AsRock B450 board make for a rock-solid build. Ditto on Linux as a workstation, everything just works and works well, and it's superb for 3D modeling and music creation (two of my main hobbies).
How do you breakup a private company developing an OSS software? The best I can think of is break up the trademark such as Chrome or Chromebook and some few proprietary parts of Chrome. Chromium, the OSS part of the browser is available as OSS and Google can start developing even after the breakup. Or US government force private company to not to develop a certain software like a web browser?
To me, this just reads like him obnoxiously spamming social media endlessly.
Even when you package your dependencies with your code, unless you have policies in place and actively enforcing it, there's no preventing people from bloating the project with all kind of junks libraries.

I've had to deal with legacy projects that include multiple versions of the same libraries, all of them being shaded/relocated so they don't conflict. The result, however, is bloated binaries that takes 30 minutes to build.
Object-oriented programming isn’t dead but it’s still evolving. One facet that is trending is immutability. Objects can only be constructed with their full state provided. It’s the best of both worlds. However, moment is from an earlier zeitgeist - it has mutable objects. Use an immutable object library.
Tons of good reasons. My model says $TSLA should be $1,000 a share and is undervalued. It should be there for March and even earlier. $5,000 in a decade.
Nobody is spinning anything here. Julia's compilation time is a known quantity. See my comment in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=24750559 about the different phases of Julia's compilation and execution (from a user's perspective).

Obviously, if you are not working on a problem that doesn't need Julia's speed (and makes it worth paying the compilation cost), and you are more comfortable with a different tool, you should use that. You may in fact be better off using Python, or shell scripting or even Excel.

Precompilation time in Julia is akin to `make` in a project with C code. You only compile the library once and use it repeatedly, until you update it. Is it a dealbreaker? Perhaps it is for you (assuming you are using precompilation in the right context). It is not for many who work with Julia day in and day out, and it is something that we continue to improve.

"I am thinking C.S. Lewis specifically. Many of his works he knew the philosophical themes that would be present before writing them, but none of the come off as preachy"

I don't know about that.. they come off as incredibly preachy to me.

C. S. Lewis was basically a Christian apologist, and that's very obvious in his work.

It's pretty hard to stomach for those of us who don't share his views.

A much better example is Dostoyevsky, who was probably at least as devout a Christian as Lewis, and also had an agenda, but he didn't make even the most repulsive of his characters in to two-dimensional caricatures as Lewis tended to do.

Instead, Dostoyevsky could get the reader to understand and even sympathize with the worst characters in his books, and see the world through their eyes... something Lewis could not aspire to as he always had to make his antagonists in to whipping boys for his faith.
Does the phrase "screen time" require such a harsh response?

I get it. Computering has been my hobby and job for many years. I'd do it more if my body would cooperate. But it's cool if some folks just want to leave it behind when they clock out.
1. Given the thoroughness of the write-up, I'm going to assume that the author did not find that any of the discrepancies in the implementations were actually bugs in the reference implementation. He goes as far as to say that he reimplemented the reference implantation so this seems like a safe assumption. Still, it would be nice to confirm. Given that other implementations seem so shoddy, it wouldn't be surprising to find a bug in the reference.

2. "Conventional wisdom Nazis" Maybe the author was just bored of writing at this point, but some justification for why bitwise comparing floats was a correct decision would have been nice. Is it because there's no math involving unrepresentable intermediates? Because there's no integration happening, so no way for errors to accumulate?
I share the same interest. I remember years ago looking on Google Maps at South Georgia and dreaming about going there one day.

Well I decided to make "one day" happen and visited there as part of a two month sailing voyage on a tall ship. We also visited Antarctica and a number of Antarctic islands. Deception Island was a highlight.
We approached Tristan da Cunha but couldn't land due to the swell, which was disappointing.

I still dream about visiting these remote places, but the voyage did a great job of satisfying the urge (for now).

The voyage was via barkeuropa.com and it was one of the best experiences of my life.

Agreed, more than making time I'd suggest that we should be careful not to treat our off-time as mere recuperation. It should be at least, if not more valued.

Qt apps aren't great on macOS but I'd put them very far ahead of x11 apps.
That's a completely reasonable viewpoint. Many users of Julia and contributors start out experimenting with it and then end up bringing it into their work when they feel comfortable with it. I hope you will have the same experience one day.
To differentiate products for consumer and enterprise, Intel disables ECC RAM support for Core i5 or upper series and enables for Xeon E series (i3 or below is sold for both market so not disabled).

NVIDIA reduces (actually reduced on die) FP64 calculation units and disables ECC RAM support for GeForce (except some Titans) to not to be used in datacenter. Previously it works because most scientific calculations requires FP64 calculation and reliability is matter.

But now is the deep learning era, it won't need FP64 calculation and rare RAM error isn't matter. So they must enforce the EURA to avoid dirt cheap Geforce to be used in datacenter for deep learning.
Those user sticks out because system such as Maskbook was not designed to hide the fact that it carries encrypted data.

However, a system can be designed to do that with ease. You can encode data in video streams with Fourier transform, you can encode data using English words, you can put encrypted data as JEPG payload etc.

"Bad actors" will do whatever it takes to protect themselves from law enforcement, they'll kill the police in a blink if their account balanced out (On the same note, they can also join and control the police from within), let alone to learn to use encryption. It is the normal people who will feel most of the hurt, because after that they don't even have the protection against bad actors.
It seems like faking time.gov is fairly close to trivial.
I finally ditched Unity because I’m sick of compile times in the newer versions of Unity. It’s been getting worse since 2017 or so and it finally got to be too much for me.

I’ve switched over to the Heaps engine by the creator of the Haxe language.

In addition to the compile time issues, I found myself constantly fighting the Unity way of doing things in that I prefer doing things in code as opposed to using the editor.
Good way to put it.
I suspect that people leaving LCDs at their eye-burning default brightness (looks great in a store demo competing against the lighting and other monitors, but not at all for long-term work) is at least part of the reason for all the excessively low-contrast websites.
It seems the creep is real. Yet with an aging body, a family to love, and a house to fix even getting a few uninterrupted hours with any consistency is ... a big ask.
It is. Forcing people to work on side projects is just as stupid as claiming that people who work on side projects are somehow freaks.

>I will say it seems disingenuous to include the death toll of the tsunami towards nuclear energy

~16000 people died from the Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.

The 573 figure is from the 2012 Yomiuri Shimbun survey, based on "A disaster-related death certificate issued when a death is not directly caused by a tragedy, but by "fatigue or the aggravation of a chronic disease due to the disaster"

An IMO reasonable measure. Sadly the same data will never be available for Chernobyl due to the political reality surrounding the event.

Zope 5.0 released – What's new
You say that, but the connection seems likely which is my point. The indirect symptoms of heart disease such as loss of athleticism and cognitive function would be important.

Heredity is one of the stronger predictors of heart disease so it’s got a strong genetic component beyond diet and lifestyle. So, it’s really just a question of how early meaningful symptoms show up as the physical differences already exist during people’s reproduce years.

It seems like an obvious test if do differences in Forearm arteries have fewer heart attacks. And do they correlate with higher blood pressure in people’s 20’s to 30’x.

> 256g/kWh to 500g/kWh

Where are you getting this? It's true the emissions mix is bad at night, but the absolute amount is what counts. Having a bad emission mix when no energy is being used isn't particularly concerning.

> 400gCO2eq/kWh vs 1000 for coal

That's pre-2014 numbers. Modern gas is better, around 300 gCO2eq/kWh[1].

It's not as good as solar/wind, but the fast startup time means its usage can be minimized and the low cost ($20M for a generator!) means money can be invested in truly environmently friendly sources like wind and solar instead of the money pit of nuclear power.

Not necessarily: you can use it to build fast inverse of scalar functions. Here's an example on a vjp of an ODE f:

From a pure accounting perspective, yes, but the whole "code is a liability, not an asset" crowd aren't using the strict definition of it by any means.

Its more just a mental footnote that the contract with the customer is what is valuable, and the code is either supporting that value or destroying it. So if you can have the same contract with the customer for less code that's the outcome to strive for.

You might want to port it to a new language, in which case having the hardware description and a generator tool is easier and better than converting the C headers.

And yeah sure pragmatically it might not make much of a difference in this specific case, but if the AMD devs were to port their driver to a new language they wouldn't edit the C headers they would certainly just update their generator, so the preferred form for modification is clearly not the generated C headers.

Not to mention if all you wanted to do was change the names, maybe prefix them with something, editing the generator is _still_ clearly the preferred format for making that change.
Internet advertising also lives in the YouTube apps, social networks like instagram, or pop ups in free apps, to name a few.

I'm super happy that this is becoming the new standard, but for a different reason. I hate it when my local development environment has to call out to the internet. I want to be able to do my work from a spotty wifi connection, or on an airplane! For this reason, none of my projects have ever used these external CDNs, and now browsers are making it so this isn't even a detriment to my users. Great!

[append]

By the way, the article title is not what the article intends it to be. He wants to say "please stop using shared CDNs for external JavaScript dependencies". There's nothing wrong with CDNs.
Can we shut down the semantics discussion? It leads nowhere. Folks can call tear gas a “chemical weapon” because it is chemical and is a weapon. Other folks can think and say that calling “tear gas” a chemical weapon is an abuse of terminology. Both points are valid. Both points lead nowhere. It shuts down productive discussion.

For quick scripts, it’s really hard to beat python.

For what Rust offers, it is unreasonably effective as a quick scripting language, with one big caveat: Once you’re accustomed to the language and have significant experience with it.

I’ve built and own CLI tools in Rust, used in production, where the alternative language choice was python, and the experience has been way better than I imagined. I expected to trade a ton of developer productivity for the extra speed and safety, but the reality is that it’s not even an integer multiple. Not even close. Again, my expectations were different, but in reality it’s been really pleasant.
I believe this is what the comment is referencing: https://android.stackexchange.com/a/220981
I think depending on your sensitivity to these things there’s probably a spectrum of fatigue caused by a day of screen gazing and headphone music.

I know I personally regularly burn out on both screen and music during work hours and prefer more athletic hobbies in my free time because of that.
This is what I was interested in. As I understand it, there are extra drivers in most installs and this is reconciled as the kernel boots.
Short answer:

One is a non-Euclidean space (world) and the other is a Euclidean space (map).

It makes sense that you can’t map a curved space to a flat space — curvature is a defining characteristic of a space. You have to warp or cut the space to “deal with” that mismatch to make a flat map.

Of course, it’s trivial to make a non-Euclidean map — a “globe”.
That completely depends on the specialty. I know plenty who work around 30 hours a week.
That cost per GB chart is interesting--how can Portugal be 5x more expensive than Spain, or Japan be (what looks like) 30x more expensive than Korea? Are there hidden subsidies or costs driving this or is it from infrastructure, policy, or historical reasons?
How would that even work? Chrome doesn't make money on its own. It exists primarily as strategic endeavor intended to give Google some level of direct influence over the platform that the vast majority of its business runs on (the web). Without Google, how would Chrome survive?
This issue here is that the same scientists are giving contradictory reports. We need them to be adults and admit "We were wrong about x, the truth is actually y. Here is the proof.". As long as both versions exist without the redaction, both will be quoted forever.

I'd liken us more to craftspeople like a carpenter.

While I certainly don't think software developers should be expected to make software their freetime hobby with a menagerie of weekend sideprojects, this forum acts like it's an unfair demand on a carpenter that you see something they've built before you hire them.

I also can't say I expect much from a software developer who hasn't at least had interest in personal projects during some interval of their life. Like a carpenter who has never made something unless they were getting paid for it.
I understood that it’s an acceptable Server response, as per spec, but it’s a bug on the client that it asks for the now-invalid file handle even though it’s had it’s delegation withdrawn - from the client’s perspective it has no reason to assume that the file even exists any more.

And yes, this is an excellent writeup.
> I didn't realize at all that you were trying to only talk about JavaScript that runs client side

Well, not just client-side JS; server-side, too, or anywhere that NPM is used, but even more than that: e.g. other package managers that were influenced by or work similarly to NPM and encourage a similar package-driven development style, e.g. Rust's crates.io or the Go community's comfortability with importing by URL. It applies for many of those cases, too, it just wasn't the focus of my comment.
I think this is an interesting example of how what you post publicly can indirectly give away information, but then again, I suspect people wouldn't be tweeting such things if they wanted their (even approximate) locations to remain private.
Cool!

I was curious to see what you chose to do for representing arbitrary bit width. I didn't see an example / test for something like u19 though.

Your backend compilation seems to generate calls to an arbitrary width [1], but I only see explicit 8/16/32/64s generated or tested [2]. The code definitely seems ready for size != width, and answering some of my question "sizes less than 8 round up to u8, otherwise round up to nearest power of 2" [3].

Either way, it looks like a great start! Your little language seems like it probably has enough in it already for my VP8 example.

I'll have to check out Heaps. But you're totally right that the "Unity way" of using the editor isn't how a lot of us would naturally gravitate to creating a game. I learned to like it, though (I think).

For me, I realized that wanting to "keep it all in code" is a learned habit, and part of why I learned it is because the tooling when everything in code is just so much better. I can navigate references, etc., count on compiler errors runtime errors, etc. But none of this fundamentally required me to keep it all in code _if_ the tooling allows it. With ~2020 it feels like the tooling is getting to that point.

I've dealt with this so many times.

On Chrome, no captchas. On other browsers, I've literally gone through 5 minutes of fire hydrant selection with no end in sight. Sometimes it'll simply reject it and tell me to start again a dozen times, and other times it's just infinitely adding more.

I really want there to be a third party captcha system that isn't just a covert push into Google's filthy, corrupt, incompetent ecosystem.
Probably more down to limited competition in the US, honestly. Comparing costs across Western Europe, it’s hard to make the case that it’s an infrastructure cost problem; Germany (dense) is more expensive than Ireland (non-dense) which is more expensive than the UK (dense) which is more expensive than Finland (very non-dense).

Here's how I look at it, if you're a musician, you probably play at home sometime. If you're a mathematician, you probably solve some maths at home. If you're a writer, you probably write at home. Most people that can practice their craft do so at home. I don't expect a hunter or a fisherman to hunt or fish at home. But a chef? A chef might have an idea for a meal and experiment at home. So a software developer that doesn't practice their craft at home is very suspect. I don't expect a side project, just practice, but very often, we have an idea that does turn into a side project. I don't expect this side project to make money, to have a website, to have a beautiful code, to be in github, but if you can't tell me anything that you have worked on just for the hell of it in the past year, I will be very and highly suspicious of how good you are.
