“the argument is about the ongoing value delivered”

Which is an admirable sentiment… but the title of this thread is not “Python: still doing useful work” but “Python: now 20% faster”, and being ridiculously self-congratulatory about this when the correct response is to laugh at the silly pointless frivolity of it.

Trying to make Python fast is a fool’s errand, because Python is slow by design.

A useful argument would be that Python is faster overall at solving various real-world problems than current alternatives; but that’s not the popular argument being made, because the population fixates on minutiae instead of overall perspective.

The main issue is that the water is interrupted. That means that friction or not, any movement will die off. So it already extracts nearly the most it can (the small difference being energy transmitted through land, the impact here is non-zero).

That power plant is just making it die on it, instead of on land.

I always assumed there would be insecurities in everything you buy and if there weren't backdoors it was normal for spooks in various nations to be able to crack it sooner or later. Using cloud services makes this even more likely. Does anyone really think they are 100% safe?

I've watched their presentation, and they do show which Presets (ultra, extreme, whatever) they used.

And they've obviously used the same preset for both their cards and the competitors'.

There's some more details in the press kit, but I do agree with the principle that decisions should be withheld until NDAs expire and third party benchmarks are available.

What's clear is that, with the information in hand, buying NVIDIA Ampere cards is simply not sensible. Waiting for RDNA2 reviews is.
Issues with/dislike of Dart is a pretty common refrain. This project is still very early days but the intent is to bring Flutter into Typescript https://github.com/chgibb/hydro-sdk

Eventually I hope to bring Flutter to C#, Haxe, and (maybe stretching it) eventually Kotlin, Java and Scala.
Does anyone really believe that they don't add backdoors? If it's a major tech / internet business, they require access to a backdoor.
What's anyone supposed to do about it? GDPR didn't exactly provide funding to help anyone get compliant and it's hard to argue that GDPR compliance is a priority for a struggling local media site. It's a bummer, but I think it was inevitable in the way the law is structured.
Very scary and I do get a sense that my recall ability and general focus is severely diminished after a decade of being active on reddit and other places like here. The problem is I'm on this dopamine treadmill. I see a thread with an interesting topic and a lot of comments, and I want to dive in and spend an hour sifting through it. I check my subreddits and HN every day.

And for what? I get nothing out of it, maybe a little pissed off every now and then. Most articles I read are forgettable and have no impact on my life. There is literally nothing that I've learned on the internet over close to two decades of use that I couldn't learn more thoroughly with a book or by looking at a newspaper, and in recent years it's been getting impossible to find actual factual subject information on the internet that isn't some half assed SEOified article that doesn't even have my answer.

I think I'm just gonna pull the plug and block these websites with some browser extension, because I am just too compulsive at this point, too engrained into this automatic unconscious action of cmd+t->news.y->tab->enter to do it under my own volition. Sometimes I sit down and I don't even remember opening HN, but there I am scrolling through the front page.

I still need the internet for emails, stack overflow, or finding articles in my field, but that sort of use I will allow because I take that information and synthesize it into something novel and useful. I'm going to pull the plug on being a mindless internet consumer, who leaves no time for actual thinking in between the rampant consumption.

Good bye, HN, hopefully for good but we will see how long I'm able to remain disciplined. I'm kinda excited about what sort of mental clarity this might bring me and how much that will improve my life.

I giggled at the previous company name being redacted as “[NAME AVAILABLE ON REQUEST FROM COMPANIES HOUSE]” too. Not sure if that’s a common thing to do or if they made an exception for these shenanigans so they didn’t have to display the XSS.

People who come to C++ from Java frequently bring with them Java Disease.

If you find yourself reaching for std::shared_ptr and virtual functions more often than once in a blue moon, you are suffering from Java Disease, and are writing bad code.

Anything that seems to be something Java "fixed" is a thing they failed to understand. You will have to unlearn those, along with myriad bad C habits, many of which you don't know you have. It takes sharp observation to catch them.

This would make sense if these were Titan cards with ML drivers. Instead, they are not, only the regular drivers are available, and FP32/64 performance is artificially capped.

These aren't cards for ML.
I think we are arguing the same point from different angles!
There's a lot of information freely (or inexpensively) available, and enough people in the biohacking community that have demonstrated a willingness to perform (at least) small self-surgeries, that a more critical surgery being self-performed would not be surprising.
What do you gain with Android on a small device (that's not a computer screen like a head unit) though? You just add a significant maintenance burden because you need to tear out all the phone parts from the OS which make updating and patching it really hard.
Honestly at least for now for the desktop marked it doesn't matter that much.

Software devs might consider it as a factor because they might want to play around with it, but for everyone else is a irrelevant feature.
Can you point to some really well done, larger Flutter apps in production? Especially ones that run across multiple platforms but feel good in each?

I used to think the same of React Native a couple years ago but this year I picked it up again and was shocked how far its come - incredibly smooth experience, far better ecosystem, and it's hard (impossible?) to beat Chrome DevTools + VSCode. Runs fast, too.

The thing is, Flutter is a no-go for the web as of now, it delivers a huge bloated bundle that's not accessible or performant. But with React Native you can build an app that shares 90% of the code across all native platforms and the web, and feels/is more native on each of the three platforms.
That they are regular expressions.
Ah, I would say that, to some extent they are of historical, as opposed to practical, value. That is, if you just wanted to implement an OS using modern best practices then these works might not be as relevant as other, much more recent works.

However, many of the fundamental themes, principles, and considerations are unchanged in the intervening years, and often clearer in earlier, simpler systems. And you can find forgotten gems.

GDPR requires far more than a compatible business model.

In practice, you need a consultant and maybe a lawyer to help with the paperwork and that's assuming all the processes are basically in compliance.
>> Try accepting constructive criticism instead of accusing people of entitlement just because they dare to disagree with you.

That's valid, and I did say I'm not sure if it's just me - meaning my (possibly wrong) interpretation. A list of specific things missing is fine, but the I'm-not-switching-until sounds different than a simple valid criticism or an inquiry as to weather those are being addressed.

I probably should not have responded to a particular comment with my comment though. It wasn't too bad as those things go. Some of them really do come across the way I described.
It's nice to read that they've got anti-griefing tools built into the software. The web has been around too long for developers to not take social interactions into account. Perfect solutions don't exist but if you do nothing you're going to get nailed very quickly, at a time you'd rather be developing the game than playing catchup with setting up the community.

> That's sometimes part of the contract for entering a country. Nobody is forced to accept it.

That truly depends on your meaning of "force". For example, if I point a gun at you and tell you to give me your money or else, you are not forced to give me the money. You still have a choice. Yet, we commonly say that someone is forced because they are compelled by the alternative being a worse option created by someone else deliberately.

In that sense, yes people are forced to accept that contract.

Although it is part of the contract, I think it's inhumane that the contract is set up that way, and nation states should be held to higher standards than that.

If the contract for living in a country was that they chopped off a finger each year, would that be humane? No it wouldn't, and we'd protest against it. Some people would still choose it anyway. But something being part of a contract does not make that thing humane.

Why would people choose it anyway? Because being with the person you love matters a lot to some people.

And it matters to me that people who love each other, whoever they are, are allowed by nation states to be together if they wish. I consider it a basic facet of humane society to allow that. A proper example of what ought to be a simple human right. In the ballpark of "we hold these truths to be self-evident".

For two people who love each other to be prevented by law from being together in either of their home countries (because it's certainly possible for both ends to have incompatible restrictions) is, in my opinion, inhumane.

Also, for someone to be with someone else and then if the relationship turns sour to have the state applying enormous pressure to stay in the abusive relationship (whether with a partner or employer), that is also, in my opinion, inhumane and not a state functioning as it should. The state's job is to protect all people in its care, that includes all people it has accepted into its care as well. A state is ideally held to the standards of its noble constitution. It is not good enough to say "well it was part of the contract". We do not allow abusive terms in contracts to be upheld, even if they have been accepted. If someone agrees to be a slave, we declare that agreement void. Some things are struck out by courts if necessary when deciding what is right. Same should apply, in my opinion, to this.
This is still true for all off the shelf autorouters.

You'll be able to successfully push the images without it. Tags you pushed won't properly show up in docker hub and clients will have issues pulling not just the tags but the layers.

It's been a hot minute since I hit that issue, but I kind of doubt docker hub fixed it. I suspect fixing issues around OCI format images are fairly low priority for them.
Nice to see your numbers :)
But be careful about picking up Googlisms.

Google's allergy to exceptions pollutes their designs. Any class with default constructor, Init, and Deinit is badly polluted.
Ehh maybe, we're regulated and the vpn gw is considered the "network boundary", things past it aren't our problem -- all our compliance is just within our network. Otherwise we'd need to manage endpoints to have an always-on-VPN-enforced sorta thing.. which means it's an in-scope device and personal traffic wouldn't be allowed on it anyway, rendering the entire premise moot.
As a Scala dev, having flutter support would be awesome.

When I started to learn the language, it was being hyped as a viable alternative for Android apps (which has been abandoned since 2.10, IRCC).

Kotlin seems nice, but after getting used to a stronger type system, it's hard to go back.
Piggybacking on your point about the general public: historically something like 25 to 30 percent of people don't even know who the Vice President of the United States is...and this goes back to at least the 70s. Simply asking someone if they know who Snowden is doesn't really prove much. What percentage of people will just lie and say they know?
Yes.

And I think (hope?) that std::optional is going to make it's way into the dust bins of history like auto_ptr.

When the answer is "just don't deference it if it's null", then why not just use a pointer in the first place?

Its quite funny to me that literally everybody that is against Boring company is sighting these 'Thunderf00t' videos, and judging from some of his other videos he has a pretty clear bias. He is also a chemist and why his knowledge of engineering is better then those of the engineers at SpaceX and Elon Musk is highly questionable to me.

> the safety issues of a car breaking down in a tunnel

The cars have front radar and can break. It would stop the line but I don't see how it is a safety issue. Most danger in tunnels is from bidirectional traffic that Boring avoids.

> the enormous cost with digging deeper tunnels

The same could have been said about other Elon Musk projects. Nobody is surprised that an electric car can have better performance and power and yet a diesel driven tunnel boring machine can not be improved? Tunneling is incredibly conservative and uses both diesel driven tunnel boring and diesel driven locomotives to transport out the dirt. The inherent problems of having lots of diesel engines a tunnel are quite clear and eliminating it has clear operational advantages.

> underground road tunnels are just not economical or particularly safe

What the evidence for underground one-way tunnels not being safe?

> These kind of infrastructure problems are just hard and have a ton of trade offs, there is no silver bullet.

Therefore we should try to improve it with modern technology from other fields? Its not a silver bullet, it is tacking new technology from automotive and aerospace and applying it to tunneling and mass transportation.

Hey - Thanks for the support! Really good feedback on the private RSS url. It's in the product/eng queue.

Also, noted on DIY + tooling as a way of making Artifact more accessible - I'd be really curious to learn what features you'd want as a user (i.e., what are your needs and what would feel like annoying feature creep, etc.).

If it's not too much trouble, as you start interviewing your family members, I'd love to learn about what kind of tooling would be helpful. We'd also be than happy to provide some pointers around the interview set up, sound quality control, etc. You can email at contact@heyartifact.com
Social media is the public square in 2020. There's no way to claim we still have free speech while all speech is done in a private company's territory where said freedom "does not apply".

So realistically, we have two options: Regulate what those companies are allowed to do and hold them liable for what they do, or nationalize them so that we can once again treat them as public space.
The way most do it now is to use "they", even though it's a plural pronoun

-n % n (where n is unsigned) suffers from the problem that -n calculates a two's complement. That value is implementation-defined, due to the implementation-defined width of the unsigned type.

It's calculating ((-n) mod (2^bits)) mod n, where bits is compiler/platform-dependent.
