> How is that supposed to affect anybody else who is still buying the regular stuff, or be better for Apple customers than the same thing but with an architecture transition and the inability to natively virtualize the x64 editions of Windows and Linux?

For one, these CPUs would make the fabs busy, that means AMD would produce less CPUs for the "masses" and probably that would make it more expensive for everyone.
I think the inability to virtualize would kind of fit the walled garden Apple is going for.

> Apple and AMD are both TSMC customers. They come out of the same fabs.

It's not like you can produce different CPUs at the same time. It requires setup and probably particular fab is able to produce one type of CPU in a batch. The TSMC resources are finite as well.
It should be noted that bars that do scan driver license already abuse the data that they get:

Assuming we are talking about a self sustaining colony on Mars, what about the right to self-determination? Do people really still accept that you can rule over a colony far far away? Plus, why bother? There is nothing on Mars that earth needs. As long as I can visit on vacation, why would I care what Government it has?
It's quite amazing that they spent that much money and not a single one got shared to anybody I know.

That's a colossal failure.

They'd have been better off splitting that money up and handing that money to every single performing and visual arts student in the US.

They would have gotten at least one viral thing out of it.
Yes? I was amused that everyone pointed to The Simpsons as an early instance of the idea of Donald Trump running for president, when Bloom County was much, much earlier.

I think you have misunderstood me. The fact that someone worked their whole life while living in Finland is accounted for. I.e. the link you've shared includes average amount of accrued pension for each birth year. So if someone was born in 1960, joined workforce around 20 y.o., worked for 40 years they would have in average about €1414. If they continue to work until retirement earning 6K, their pension will grow to 1.9K.

If this 4K/mo is easily achievable only if you have another pension from a more generous country, then it is not proving your point much.

There are lots of flags controlling what it outputs, so have a look, there's likely a way to adjust it. Or alternatively, ip supports "-json" so you can process it however you want, or write wrappers.

Yep - no doubt - I'm not placing any actual bets. Mostly the thought is that similar to the Windows franchise, the existing Intel x86 server franchise [1], while for sure not growing, seems boringly steady enough for a good 3-5 year runway to have a decent shot at developing or finding tech oriented leadership talent. It will be interesting to watch.

As an outsider to MS, its unclear that any one particularly saw Nadella as the obvious successor to Ballmer until they announced it. He somewhat came out of wood work IIRC. Same with Lisa Su.

There is this theory that speed of light is not symmetrical, that is it may be c/2 in one direction and infinity in the opposite one. Given that, we could perceive that meteorites took millions of years to arrive, but it could be in a instant.
> 3) I still haven't figured out how to deal with circular dependencies at the module level.

That is usually dealt with by distinguishing between interface and implementation (cf. dependency inversion principle), which should eliminate the circularity. Disclaimer: I know very little about Erlang and Elixir.

I don't know of any formal theory, but it feels a bit like functional programming because you don't often use variables (an advanced feature, as the manual says). I kind of got a feel for it by realizing that it wants to push a stream of objects through transformations, and that's about it. A few operators/functions can "split" the stream, or pull the stream back into place. Like, uh,

in.json {"a":1,"b":2}

jq -c '{a}' in.json

{"a":1}

The . is the current stream, so if I just do ". , .", it's kind of pushing two streams along:

jq -c '.,. | {a}' in.json

{"a":1}

{"a":1}

Then, of course, say:

jq -c '{a, b, c: .}' in.json

{"a":1,"b":2,"c":{"a":1,"b":2}}

It was going through the . stream, and I pulled the . stream right back in while doing so.

So it kind of helps to keep straight in my head when I've kind of got multiple streams going, vs multiple values.

Someone (almost anyone) can probably explain better with formal theory, but I just kind of got a feel for it and kind of describe it like this.

The barcode at the back of a physical license card has all sorts of information that may not be printed at the front. For example, for noncitizens in the US it can have some information about visa status.

jq is just slow.. using github.com/buger/jsonparser to slice out some fields from a large json log is about 10x faster than using jq.

The most common mistake I see is people composing pipelines and putting jq before grep. Or worse, using select() in jq. The grep should always come first. Even if you need to do something like

.. | fgrep value | jq ... | fgrep value

to pre-filter, and then filter again to rule out any false positives.

I have some tooling built around jsonparser and fastjson that I need to split out and open source. jq just makes me sad.. very capable, but overkill for what most people use it for and very slow for the common case.

Such a theory is in conflict with more than a century of searches for anisotropies of spacetime. No anisotropies have ever been found, beginning with Michelson's seminal experiment.
Pretty sure all the comments above you are intimating is that there's no such thing as "better designed" without a "to what (specific) goal?". If the goal was enjoyment, then Sierra games were well-loved by lots of people, and like the guy says, that's proof by itself that the design goal was met. You can (and Maher does) argue that there are ways to take frustration out of the experience, or highlight other parts of the experience more (parts that people generally find enjoyable), but that still doesn't allow an authoritative, non-subjective, statement about "better" without some sort of qualifier.
Thanks; and yes - I do believe, strongly, that business owners / stakeholders generally radically under-appreciate the costs of unintentional tech debt, which is mostly invisible to them.

Regarding your proposed (tongue-in-cheek?) tactic of somehow making it apparent to end users as a way to get the attention of said stakeholders:
user-perceived performance is actually, seriously, the bridge you're looking for.

Companies are increasingly aware that performance (in the sense of site speed / WPO / UX latency) matters ^1. Suboptimal performance follows directly from failure to address tech debt. Efforts to improve performance are always stymied by tech debt. Thus, execs who learn to care about performance have become your allies.

> MOAC’s response to the available replica count of a Volume falling below the desired count defined within its Storage Class is to instruct a Mayastor Storage Node to create a new, “empty” replica, and to share it with the degraded nexus. The introduction of a new replica to the nexus will cause it to start a rebuild process, bringing it into synchronization with the other replicas. This process can successfully complete without having to suspend workload I/O to the affected PV.
It's worth noting that Apple and Amazon can't lie about their business without opening themselves up to potential criminal liability under securities laws. [1]

That means Apple and Amazon are more credible in this case, unless there is some super secret NatSec exception to securities law that we don't know about.

Perhaps governments should require phone manufacturers to provide security updates for at least 5 years, otherwise you can throw your smartphone out of a moving car every two years to keep your driver license secure.

If we ever have a pathogen like Archaea I will shit my pants. Prions already are able to survive 242F for 15 minutes and caustic chemicals so we already have enough on our plates.

I'm going to pose something that was interesting when the Chief Medical Officer of NASA spoke at my school: bacteria in space will have massive amounts of genetic changes -> bacteria on a Mars mission may become pathogenic to the point where we would not want people who traveled to Mars to come back. He also talked about intracranial hypertension being an issue with people going into space and how to remedy that one. It was fascinating to hear a physician in charge of astronauts talk about what medical challenges needs to be overcome.

That's not "incredibly weak" evidence. If all existing hunter gatherers which hunt big game across the globe are like this, and if that applies irrespective of their level of contact with the larger global culture, that points to the cultural trait having ancient origins, from before when the ancestors of today's humans diverged, or the trait being so in tune with basic human physiology that it consistently re-emerges across human populations when they adopt hunter gatherer lifestyles.

Either one would predict that prehistoric hunter gatherer groups had a similar division of labor across genders.
The image would still need to match
But why? Why do people have to carry a wallet everywhere, unless they want to?

I have my payment cards on my watch. Pre-pandemic, my gym membership card was on my watch. If I had my ID on my watch as well, I don't ever have to worry about a wallet being stolen because I wouldn't carry one.

Sure, people can steal your watch at gunpoint- but it can be remotely disabled (even if you were forced to give your passcode under duress), and you'd still have a physical ID card at home you can use.
No. Nope. No. No. No. There's nothing wrong with plastic card drivers' licenses. Don't fuck up and complicate a system that already works perfectly.

I don't want my identity in society controlled by a fucking Google app. I don't know when they'll lock me out. I don't know if I'll always have a working, charged smartphone on me. I don't see a single advantage to this approach.

Many other field are constrained by the limitations of the physical world. To build a house you have to source the materials, transport them, assemble them, and so on. That's the bulk of the work.

Gluing something in instead of using screws is just faster and cheaper to manufacture.

Yes, I think so too. I am professionally a SWE but more and more I feel like a Luddite, and more and more distant from the predominant HN demographic.
> It’s also where you start hitting ray coherency problems - if you shoot 8 rays in a batch at roughly the same area of the scene, it’s likely that they’ll behave similarly. But as soon as they hit an object and bounce they all head in different directions, and pretty quickly you end up with dead lanes.

This is solved with stream compaction.

http://www.cse.chalmers.se/~uffe/streamcompaction.pdf

There's only two states you need to "compact" into:

* Hits -- These rays will "recurse" and continue bouncing.

* Miss -- These rays will sample the "background" (either a set color, or maybe a HDRI map or something).

Collect hits together through stream-compaction. Then collect misses together through stream-compaction. Once the "hits" queue is empty, process all Misses together.
I can't help but read this article dwell on how everyone but Ken stated their misgivings about the deal.

The HiFive Unmatched board with quad U74 cores is available to order now on Mouser or CrowdSupply, with Mouser saying they'll have stock on Jan 1.

The U74 is very similar to an A55 without NEON.

I suspect SiFive is probably going to put the FU-740 SoC itself on Mouser once they have sufficient supplies to fulfill board orders.

Their U84 core was announced 12 months ago and is A72-equivalent (again excluding NEON). They way these things work there will probably be chips and boards available in another 12 months.

The VIU75 core was also just announced as available for licensing. That's a U74 plus RISC-V Vector extension (more like SVE than NEON).

Obviously ARM has already moved on from the A72 and they're up to A78 now with I think the A76 the latest actually shipping in devices (e.g. Samsung Galaxy S20). But RISC-V is catching up pretty quickly considering that four years ago there was no RISC-V chips shipping at all.

Also A72 to A78 is just incremental improvements, much like Nehalem to Sandy Bridge to SkyLake in x86. Of course the newer ones are better, but there are plenty of people out there still happily using Sandy Bridge.
Ok, I get it, HP is evil...

But they are actually responding to customer demand. Customers want cheap printers, and HP has to make money somehow, so they make their money on ink. And to be fair, for people who just want to print a page from time to time, it is actually not a bad deal.

Want cheap ink, HP also sells ink tank printers which you refill from bottles, no DRM or any nasty tricks here, but the printer is $300+. They also sell laser printers, printer for businesses, etc... Each with economics adapted to its market.

HP have competitors of course, but they also fit into an economic model targeted at a market. They may be less aggressive than HP regarding ink, but it doesn't necessarily makes them better. Maybe the printer itself is more expensive, the print quality may be worse or is lacking some feature you need.

There is no printer monopoly, and if HP can get away with that, that's because it fits some customer needs, otherwise they would have bought Canon, or Epson, or Brother, or anything else...

Personally, I kind of like Brother. They seem to be the company with the least nonsense among printer manufacturers.
How would you interpret the phrase "cast in stone"? It would be anomalous for someone to pour magma into a mold.

The ordinary view would be that "cast" refers generally to the making or composition of anything by any means. Compare a few senses from Merriam-Webster:

[v.t.] 3(a) to dispose or arrange into parts or into a suitable form or order - I shall cast what I have to say under two principal heads.

[n.] 2(a) the form in which a thing is constructed

[n.] 10(a) shape; appearance - the delicate cast of her features

To address the concerns that have been raised:

Internships, even unpaid internships, are extremely competitive and often go to people who already have experience. Even getting work on places like Fiverr and Upwork, where your experience isn't easily transferrable off the site, is extremely challenging for those starting out. There are beginner lawyers who offer pro-bono services in return for mandatory testimonials, social media posts, etc in place of payment for successful completion of their services. This practice is not limited to lawyers. With this service, we are trying to make this practice easier for people. The ethical concerns you raise are valid. However, from students who have been looking for something like this, we've gotten nothing but gratitude. In addition, this process blinds companies from screening people on the front-end unfairly and requires their judgment to be based on no factor other than the quality of one’s work. The fact is that there aren't enough apprenticeships and internships to go around; we are trying to solve that problem.

As for landev's concern about us charging companies - we have a free option that is intentionally limited to protect against people who would seek to exploit the system. Those who wish to complete projects are doing so because they are looking for non-financial compensation. There are plenty other sites where they can go if their primary goal is to make money for their skills in the short-term.

I will admit, our copywriting was not characteristic of our intentions; we have since changed this to better reflect the type of people we want using the platform.

What is the opposite direction anyways? Opposite to what? The original message? What if the two transceivers are rotating around the sun on opposite sides? What is one direction at one point in time is now another direction at another point. Is there a difference between bouncing a signal off of a mirror back to yourself and sending a signal which then gets a response from the receiving party? Is my point coming across? Because like, are we talking about direction relative to a receiver or direction relative to some fixed body in space?

Greyhound: a tour of the worst part of every city in North America. During less lucrative times in my life I used to ride on Greyhound (and Bolt & Megabus) semi-frequently. It is a good deal if you don't mind spending an extra 6 hours waiting around and are willing to risk being decapitated to save ~$50-200 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Killing_of_Tim_McLean). One thing that I will say is that intercity bus travel in North America is much nastier than comparable services in Latin America or East Asia. I feel like this is primarily a socio-economic issue stemming from the fact that middle class Americans do not like to ride a bus so Greyhound is much worse than equivalent services in Mexico. I recall once riding a bus from Texas to California, and the greyhound was being too exceptionally sketchy in terms out the amount of drugs and pornography in use before sundown. In El Paso I transferred to a Mexican bus service to go the rest of the way to LA, and I was very grateful for the massive improvement in hygiene, noise and sanity on the Mexican bus line.
That sounds like mental abuse.
