I think the general idea here is that if you're competent enough with Linux to build something as useful as proton, you should be able to do something as simple as make a proper Linux client.

Having said that, I haven't experienced any of the issues mentioned.

But if you don't, it suggests you one.

My point here is that some of the suggestions provided, if taken by a non expert user, may do more harm than good. And the reason is that there are many factors that need to be considered for most of the parameters. Something it's hard to capture from a form-based configuration generation tool.

That's why my recommendation of not using form-based configuration generation tools. They can be counter-productive.

Germany is a federation too and doesn’t have this problem. American elections are stuck with 18th century assumptions because the ruling parties have no incentives to fix them together.
Pedantry ahead: Big Stick diplomacy was Teddy, not Franklin, Roosevelt https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Stick_ideology
Like a true Scotsman, allow me to just say that the work David Kelley, Tim Brown, and others did to translate the work product of Ray Loewy, Don Norman, Dieter Rams, Walt Disney, Max Faget, Michael Graves, Saul Bass, and so many other design legends into a unified framework for "thinking about design" is and remains groundbreaking.

And it is always amazing the number of people who are beneficiaries of strong design thinking practices in their own lives through the products and services they consume who see no value in applying it to their own products and services.

But, like Agile and DevOps and a thousand other things, the "hucksters" (or, to be most charitable, the surface-level practitioners) outnumber the experts and drown them out in a crowded field.
I’ll second this and note that the discoverability of magit has helped me learn about features of git I didn’t even know existed, while simultaneously making them super easy to work with. Worktrees is the particular example that springs to mind.

It also helps to provide sane defaults, for example -f being force-push-with-lease instead of a regular force push when pushing.
The B&M retail story is ... considerably more complicated. For grocery stores, "slotting fees":

“Slotting fees” (or “slotting allowances”) are fees that manufacturers pay retailers to appear on their scarce shelves. It can cost millions of dollars to launch a product in the nation’s groceries, and through that cost, these fees shape our supermarkets and diets long before we’re able to make a purchase decision ourselves.

It’s easy to think that these fees show supermarkets are “rigged” — against both consumers and smaller manufacturers that can’t afford the fees. But as the above video shows, the debate is an intense one, with strong partisans, and decent arguments, on both sides.

>> 2. What animals do isn't a good moral compass. Animals rape each other,

Neither what humans do is a compass for animals's behaviour. You know that cows are not humans, right? There is not much consent in their social life.

We can work to offer them a "good" peaceful life before a quick innevitable slaughter. Not all the farmers cage their animals. Some of them live a pretty good life eating good grass and breathing fresher air than most humans do.

As long as the lifespan of a cow is concerned what difference does it make if it lives 5 years or 20 years? Eventually you have to accept that death is innevitable for animals, insects, plants and humans alike.

Eventuall you will end up death too, get eaten by "disgusting" worms.

You also seem to favor no life at all than a short span? Would you prefer not to be born if you were to know your life will end up tragic (i.e in car crash, or eaten by a lion)?

Pretty ridiculous for the US to be enforcing this while they try to ban and reduce availability of E2EE worldwide. Zoom et all are doing them a great service by spreading FUD and confusion about what E2EE even is. Once it's reduced to "complex math thing" in people's minds no one will know or care when they ban it.
Knights in different places at different times saw combat at different rates. If you lived on the Scotish borders or the Welsh marches you would be very likely to see combat on a regular basis. Raiding was a way of life for both sides... England was probably relatively unusual in having a relatively stable core for a relatively long time, but even then civil strife was not uncommon, and wars were fought as soon as either side could afford them. I think that a medieval knight that didn't take martial training really seriously risked being killed pretty promptly. On the other hand I guess that there was a large random element and there may have been a bit of "it makes no real difference so sod it" in their attitude, I don't suppose we will ever know because it seems that there was no real attempt to codify and share the knowledge - it was an oral tradition.

General Catalyst latest fund was $2.3B and BVP’s was $1.85B.

I’m unsure which exact BVP and GC funds Baremetrics raised from, but that $800K likely doesn’t matter to either of their returns with funds of that size. Even at $100M, it probably doesn’t matter to a fund. VCs expect over half of their investments to outright fail.

What’s much more important to the VCs is the good will they just built with that founder. Most founders will give back door reference checks to other founders about investors. Josh is likely to say good things about BVP and GC now. Also, they got that mention in his blog post too. It’s likely they knew Josh would write a post like this and chose to just write it off for the “we’re founder friendly” story vs. looking founder unfriendly.

As a founder, I don’t think there’s anything wrong with what happened here for the investors given their fund sizes. They’re professionals investing other people’s money and expect this type of thing to happen. In fact, most VCs likely expect you to fail. If these were angel investors putting in their own money, I’d have a different opinion.

This logic is absurd on the face of it. Being in a safe environment will never let you empathize with those who you kill. In fact, with killer robots conducting wars, dont be surprised if the video feed is edited by an AI in real time, to blur out blood and gore, justbecause 'we want to protect our boys from PTSD'.

Remote control allows for escaping the horrors of war, without stopping the war.
Nice to see HackerDaily on here again. I've been using ever since you mentioned it in a thread. I love the UX and the fact that there is limited amount of posts. Finally I can "finish" my daily hackernews visits instead of endlessly scrolling.

The point is that the problem is the smallest if the times between the point where A and Bs changes get into the mainline is the smallest. If A adds his parameter on Monday and B adds that same day three new calls and on Tuesday both merge their changes three calls need to be adjusted. If they merge on Friday and B has added three more calls on every day before Friday they have to adjust 12 function calls. Also, when B does not agree that the addition of a parameter is a good idea they can discuss this on Tuesday but otherwise they may wait doing this until Friday. It is also good to get this discussion out of the way as soon as possible. What if they decide that indeed the parameter that B added was good as such but actually needs to be of a different type? In the meantime B also has perhaps also added 12 calls to the function. These 12 calls now also have to be adjusted alongside with the 12 calls in the code of A. The general idea is that one wants to diverge from mainline for the shortest amount of time possible. I think the optimal amount of time for diverging from the main line is one day. If it becomes shorter the problem becomes that one would also need code reviews more then once a day and that becomes a bit burdensome too but code review every day generally sounds like a good idea. Preferably one should also pick a fixed time of the day for the code review. At my previous job I would do this and produce perhaps 10 small commits a day that would all get into the main line the next morning. If everybody does that one minimizes the size of possible conflicts.

Empathy and perspective taking: How social skills are built
I had COVID and felt like I had lingering symptoms for months. As soon as I moved to a non-lockdown country those symptoms immediately disappeared.
That's how "norms" work, though. It is almost certain that at least one candidate has been cheated out of the presidency, but he chose to not fight so soon after the civil war, to avoid enflaming tensions.

Nothing is official-official until December 13, so he has the right to pursue whatever remedies he wishes in the meantime, but the lack of trust he is fomenting right now, today, is harmful to America, and that's running counter to long-established norms.
Clinical Depression is not to be confused with "feeling depressed".

Statistics are around 6.7% in the US for Major Depressive Disorder and 1.5% for Persistent depressive disorder (before Covid era, I suspect this is on the raise).
I don't think 71 million people are stupid. They're being lied to - being told that these kinds of anomalies, which happen every election year, are unprecedented and we can't be confident in the result until they're fully investigated. (There's no reason investigations into problems can't continue after everyone acknowledges the result!)

If I were confident that a month of preemptive investigations would lead to greater confidence, I'd be all in favor. But this seems unlikely, because so many of the people pushing for investigations have already declared the only result they'll accept. What seems much more likely is a repeat of 2000, where trust in the electoral system is shattered, and a huge chunk of the losing party starts to argue that any election which didn't go their way was corruptly stolen from them.

Not at all, RISC-V doesn't need extremely clever compilers, and instead it's designed to maximize what the microarchitectures (hardware implementations) can do, and reduce unnecessary overhead.

My reply was mostly aimed at the idea that you can move the complexity from hardware into compilers: it might be possible, but we know how to build out-of-order CPU better than we know how to build smart compilers, so you have to invest a lot more research time, and it's generally a lower priority.

Even innovations from the past decade or two, like VSDG, haven't made their way into "industrial" compilers yet.

As for the size thing:

GCC and Clang are huge (at least when you include their entire change history, which git does), RISC-V is comparatively only a tiny part of them, you should probably look into that further before jumping to conclusions.

You don't even need a whole separate toolchain with Clang or Rust, the whole "need to build GCC yourself to cross-compile" is outdated GNU tradition, not some kind of technical necessity.
>But the end result is that in the default state (buffer flushing enabled), most or all disk benchmarking tools show drastically lower write performance on consumer NVMe drives than should be expected compared to their theoretical advantage over SATA SSDs.

This... doesn't seem to be the case? If you look at this chart[1] from anandtech, you can see that the nvme drives (crucial P1, intel 660p) are significantly ahead of the sata drives (860 evo, 860 qvo, crucial mx500). The sustained write results[2] worse for nvme drives, but they're still better than similar sata drives if we control for flash type (qlc vs tlc) and capacity.

Also, comparing nvme drives to sata drives is hard to begin with, since they're usually in different price segments. sata drives tend to be cheaper than nvme drives (maybe the controller is cheaper?), so if you were comparing a sata drive and a nvme drive of the same price, you might end up with a "worse" nvme drive because of the nvme premium.

So the investors just accepted to lose $800k while the founder was getting $3.7M?

Can someone explain the logic here?
But we're discussing an article that specifically calls out the researchers ethnicity and the fact they are immigrants.

Is someone making 450k in SV (renting a home, commuting hours each way, having to fly to see family) really living a better life than someone making 150k in, say Birmingham? Where they could work from home, live close to family, have a bike commute?

It's not for me (or you) to decide for others, however :) . I just think there are many more dimensions than raw salary to consider. You could work like a dog for 5 years at a FAANG, make a ton of money, and die just after you retire. It's all weighing the risks and rewards and there isn't a formula for that.

BTW yes, 2-3 months of free time to prep may not be worth it given:

* one will miss/sacrifice other aspects of life

* one may not get the job. Nothing's guaranteed, after all

* the job may not be right even if they get it
The US has more than one actor in it, only some of them care about E2EE. This is true for literally everywhere.
It’s highly likely he gets to keep all or most of the $3.7M under the Qualified Small Business Stock (QSBS) tax exemption.
Are you counting the FAANG stock performance of the last few years as part of that "no risk" alternative? Because that's hindsight. Stock is always a risk (apart from same-day sales, which only net a small percentage and may be blacked out).

And you're kinda simultaneously arguing it's a good outcome and a bad one, in both cases the reason is the founder owned most of it. The net is that it's a mediocre outcome, just that in this case one guy did ok. If you can get nine other people to contribute towards building up your side project to sell for an average market price of the technology and business, you can get more, sure. But it's not "successful startup" more.
High-end chip manufacturing is effectively a natural monopoly. You need huge initial investments, after which cost of production is too small to make creation of competing fabs a good investment idea (unless politics get involved). TSMC was the first company who found the right business model for this space and it was done when the global economy was relatively open, so it was in the right place and time to achieve a global monopoly.

> It would seem that European countries have great education and economy and yet we cannot see any innovation in this space?

Some of the important hardware for chip manufacturing is developed and produced in Europe.

Perhaps technically non-zero, but close enough, and he lost without the late ballots anyway, so getting some of them thrown out won't help him.

The cash difference (RSUs are cash) between startups and FAANG is something like $200k+/year if you're moderately senior. That goes up if you're lucky or good enough to get promoted further within FAANG. Startups tend to cap compensation for ICs pretty heavily. That's a lot of money to give up.
Yeah, when I originally learned what the Impossible Burger actually was, my first thought was, "Wow. They must have read that Malcolm Gladwell article."
From what I've seen here in the past, this is true. The weak, oft-repeated argument is that employees also assume risk and yada, yada, yada, while completely ignoring the fact that the risk assumed by employees statistically insignificant when compared to the risk assumed by founders.
I live in an area where large guns are the norm. People wear masks. Nobody is protesting them.

There are big trucks with polital 'T' signs, houses with 'B' signs. BLM rallies. And people put pink heart signs at the police station out of support. There are a lot of voices, and I love that we all here support that.

Our county is spiking at the moment and it's directly related to a series of outdoor college parties (one was attended by thousands of people) where they went mask-free. It wasn't out of protest, they were just being ignorant, rebellious kids.
Slotting fees are not the same model, and even if they were they're considered questionably ethical.

One difference is the branding. Grocery store products rely far more on branding, and slotting fees are often used for market research.

Stores cannot reproduce the branding, therefore their own-brand products don't have the same competitive appeal.

Amazon actually hides prominent branding. A few big brands have their own mini-stores, but most of the time you can't tell if you're getting a product from Amazon, from the original manufacturer, or from a retailer.

So when Amazon uses market analytics to decide which products to make and sell, it has a huge advantage - and it can and does wipe out existing sellers. Which is something grocery stores don't do.
