These terms tend to invite a lot of confusion. First of all, open source is not the same as free. In fact, the best open source hardware is a proprietary implementation of code that is maintained by the open-source community, and unless you have endless time and resources, you probably don't want to do this yourself. In chips, an open-source implementation typically involves a "free" instruction set architecture, and the hot one today is RISC-V. Others include MIPS and POWER, which are open-source, but you can't play with the source code like you can with RISC-V.

An SoC is a whole-different beast, because it contains all of the other things needed to create a system, including on-chip memory, I/O, interconnects, possibly some analog components, and it all has to work together. The more complex ones have multiple power domains, circuits that turn off when others turn on, and there needs to be embedded software in some of these devices. Depending upon what process node it was developed at, it also may require multiple voltages and a complex power delivery network. And if you really want to push the performance, you probably want to put this into a complex package, possibly including other chips. Having configurability in there in the form of an FPGA or some programmable logic is an interesting option, which is what Intel has done and presumably what AMD will do with its proposed acquisition of Xilinx. That helps keep it tuned to changes in algorithms for AI and machine learning without having to completely re-do the design.

The challenge will be finding design tools to make sure you haven't messed up anywhere. The free tools tend to be difficult to use and generally ineffective. The commercial tools are much better, but they're also expensive. And the more complicated the design, the more you'll probably need to buy some expensive hardware or lease it from the cloud. Programmability won't solve any of this. It will simply help avoid obsolescence, or at least slow it down.

There's a good article on open source here: https://semiengineering.com/riding-the-risc-v-wave/, with more links at the bottom if you need more.
Topological sorting has many applications. I built this a couple years ago https://github.com/atlassubbed/atlas-relax.

It's a DAG-computing framework in JS that allows you to listen to updates in a compute graph. It's a set of legos that I used to build both a MobX clone (https://github.com/atlassubbed/atlas-munchlax) and a React clone (https://github.com/atlassubbed/atlas-mini-dom). React and MobX are actually the same thing mathematically: reactive DAGs, so they can both be built using the exact same abstraction.
It would. The 12 notes are usually mapped to 12 colors, and ideally the sound image would reflect that. One "brute force" way to do that is to split the spectrum into 12 parts, draw 12 ACF images and then mix them. A less brute force approach is to tweak ACF to recognize that F-2F-4F-etc frequencies are specially related, even more specially than just F-2F-3F-4F-etc.
Hi,
Nice list and good work! I am curious to understand how this data was made available using Stripe, Peddle, Baremetrics. Do these companies make data publicly available or was it something else. Let me know.
Great writeup. AdHoc sounds like a really interesting company to work for. Does anyone know if there are similar firms working to improve online govt services in Australia?
I've been more of a minimalist for most of my life, but I found that it's kind of a prison to view everything through a lens of justification or necessity. In some ways a walnut brown apartment with nothing but white furniture and nothing on the walls can be beautiful, but often it's just dull and sad like a cube farm. To each their own, but I say fuck it, put some neat stuff on the walls and paint the whole place red.
Grew up lower class, and am now comfortably making 120k a year. Family and extended family is all still lower class. The military gave me structure, discipline, and then a GI bill. Only catch was to survive a deployment in 07. But yeah, my case is not unique, and most the people I served with are doing well now compared to where they would have been without it.

This comment and the post are actually very helpful, thanks. I hadn’t taken much time to look at io or http from this perspective, but I already see the value. Coming from more dynamic languages, Go has been a little funny to get used to, but I’m seeing the convention very clearly in these packages.
bookshop.org is operated by Ingram, which is generally the wholesaler to bookstores but also has a large online order fulfillment business. The upside of this is that Ingram is a logistics specialist and has the ability to ship very quickly and reliably---and so bookshop.org is in a way the best of both worlds, as it pays the local bookstores via their Ingram contract while also leveraging Ingram's order fulfillment business to get things shipped quickly and reliably.

Virgin Hyperloop completes its first test with actual passengers
I feel so bad for the students that have to deal with this. I worked at a Community College in IT for a while. Students would come into a lab that was specifically set up for testing. The anti-cheating software was such total trash, it would crash, crash the browser, crash the whole system. Students would have to start testing over...

At least twice a month, their systems would be down, and nobody could take tests at all. We'd have to send home 30-60 students at a time, and reschedule their tests for another day. These were students who were also working jobs, and took time off of work, likely unpaid, to come in and take the test. So we wasted their time, and lost them money. Not to mention the constant waste of IT's time dealing with this trash software.

It's totally fucking criminal that these companies sell such garbage to our schools and get away with it. It doesn't matter how bad it is, it checks a box on some requirements sheet so we will never switch to something else... Not that the other options are any better.

It's hard to predict what the next outbreak of war will look like.

Are we going to see more Syria/Yemen/Sudan-type conflicts or will we get back to a conventional war with tank battles and all?

In the 20th century warfare evolved trench warfare to asymmetrical war.

You don't need divisions to make an impact, you need someone willing to set off a suicide vest in a police station, a pregnant woman to sit an a VBIED and drive past a checkpoint or someone strong enough to fire an RPG.

To assume robots or technology is going to solve those problems is probably a naive position.

It's of course important to prepare for a larger scale war against China, Russia, etc. but realistically we're more likely to be fighting a handful of goat herders in Afghanistan with an AK and a bag full of rice before we're taking on an armored division.

The best line in the article was "We can’t hope endlessly that technology will make warfare easier or less brutal or less costly, [because] The reality is, it doesn’t; it changes it. It makes it harder in many cases."

Note: I was in the US Army from 03-07 serving in the Rangers with 4 deployments and have seen ingenuity trump technology

Amazon Prime shipping transit times have been rock solid for me throughout. There was a period when their estimated delivery dates were pushed way out, but the actual delivery was never late.
You know, you can also just pay them to build bridges to nowhere. Roads to connect those bridges. And then resorts and mountain getaways to connect those roads. And build mass housing for everyone. This would still be far cheaper than endless wars. And you at least get some useful infrastructure out of it.
Another example is bitcoin validation signatures which are actually computer programs.
You need a typewriter for those triplicate forms which some folks still require. Another amazing reason we still have a dot matrix printer and a daisy wheel on a shelf.

A Covid relief bill is not sufficient, or even necessary to stop Covid. Quarantine, lockdown, and widespread testing is. The bill just deals with some of the financial fallout.

And you can't blame the Democrats for choosing to make resistance to following best practices in disease control a wedge issue.

Don't equate the damage caused by 'a relief bill didn't pass because two parties couldn't agree on which pork could be added to it' and 'one of the parties is not following basic epidemic control practices'.

> one WLU professor wrote that anyone who wished to use foam noise-cancelling ear plugs must “in plain view of your webcam … place the ear plugs on your desk and use a hard object to hit each ear plug before putting it in your ear—if they are indeed just foam ear plugs they will not be harmed.”

Nitpick but noise-cancelling is by definition an active electronic process, and so will never be a purely foam ear plug. This is Vice misreporting what the professor said (professor's words were "ear plugs for noise reduction").

That's exactly my criticism. You don't need both. You only add confusion by having both. Just stick to one and improve it. Most successful languages don't have native support for two concurrency models and people have built amazing concurrent software with them.

Be careful with the kind of visa you get. I suppose the Germans are OK (but then again Germany is bureaucratic as fuck), if you visa is too restrictive you will be not better than a golden caged indentured servant.

Haven't used it since I'm just hearing about it now, but seems like the big win to using ExitStack is that you're not required to acquire all the resources at the same time. So you can acquire one resource, do some stuff, then acquire another resource based on something that is dependent on the first without more indentation.
One of the dudes was wearing a t-shirt with wording that strongly supports my evaluation. But even if you aren't trying to threaten, the visible presence of a deadly weapon (especially a sleek semi-auto as opposed to a revolver) creates a pretty negative "vibe". Note that I'm talking about handguns stuffed into a belt or on a leg holster, not e.g. a hunting rifle or shotgun.
This is a false moral equivalence. The US was founded on the idea that "all men are created equal." The US has made terrible mistakes, such as not immediately banning slavery and not extending voting rights to women, and the US still has room to improve today. However, the founding ideas of the US provide a mandate and inspire people to work towards a more equal society. I would greatly prefer the US over China as the world hegemon.

I am Chinese-American, so if China were to displace the US as world hegemon and put Han people at the top of society, that would personally benefit me. However, I do not want that, as I support racial equality.
Right, the branch may or may not be optimized out; probably it depends on llvm's alias analysis. That's not good, it means you might break it accidentally.

IME Rust is more dependent than C++ on these fragile optimizations. I think it is because idiomatic Rust is more abstract, and also because C++ has more advanced specialization features which allows implementing optimizations directly. For example in C++ you can say "if the type is uint8_t then do this instead..." but this is harder in Rust.

You asked for other examples: consider a simple operation over an array, like bitwise not. A C-style for-loop does the obvious thing but idiomatic Rust emits a gazillion one-byte 'not' instructions. This doesn't involve 'unsafe' but it does illustrate that you really do have to babysit Rust to get efficient codegen. https://rust.godbolt.org/z/PjW5vo

Great to see gather.town on HN -- I really love the entire UX of being in this type of 2D virtual environment. Wonder what kind of traction this could get with educators as a Zoom alternative to help students have more of an engaging "physical classroom" feel
China for all of their 5000 years of existence as a civilization, has never invaded a distant country. They have never brought wars, death, destruction, slavery, genocide, and concentration camps to those distant lands.

Yes, they expanded along their periphery, which is how they got to their size today.

But even when they had boats, they visited as far away as Africa, and traded with them, instead of enslaving them.

However, in contrast, let’s list all the countries that have enslaved foreign lands.

Britain, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, United States, Netherlands, Australia. Yes, you guessed it. All these are European countries that have brought an untold number of deaths and destruction to the lands that they visited.

But of course, you are free to turn a blind eye to all their injustices that they have done in the past.

The increased risk of travellers worldwide? What increased risk... That's just using a baseless assertion and basing the entire argument on that.

It's just a mask. The "power" the government is applying to "coerce" you into wearing a mask must be weighed against the burden being imposed (extremely low, less than asking you to at least wear underwear in public/near schools) and the benefits (extremely high, masks work).
That 10x figure doesn't sound right to me. Between the Taliban and government forces, Wikipedia says there were over 130,000 killed. Have over a million Mexicans died in the drug war?

Otherwise, (as I assume) you are comparing foreigners killed in Afghanistan to Mexicans killed in Mexico, which doesn't seem like a fair comparison.
IIRC, that's probably not quite true. It's been about a decade since I studied hearing, but my understanding is that the idea of the cochlea being a physical FT (e.g. the place theory of hearing) doesn't explain some phenomena, which also probably aren't psychoacoustic.

I'm genuinely curious to learn your option on cheating - does it actually matter?

What I mean is - certainly you don't want to harm the reputation of your school, and you want your students to have actually learned the material and be prepared for whatever they do in life that requires that knowledge... but what I'm wondering is... if there's presumably some tiny percentage of a class that is going to actually cheat or act in ethically questionable ways, are we in fact putting more effort into the prevention of that cheating than is warranted?

* It says "OS Required: Microsoft Windows 10" and "Operating system: Windows 10 May 2019 update or later".

* It's common for non-IT-clueful consumer marketers to only consider Windows, completely ignoring everything else (even macOS)

* They don't mention Linux at all

So without explicit mention of Linux, I'm more assuming "No".

Does the colour logic used in interior design apply in other domains? I kind of like beige for text background, it's a softer white, or a lighter black. Pure white and black can be jarring on the screen.
