This is great news for Coherent and well deserved, but the article is factually inaccurate. Coherent was founded by me in 2013. The current CEO joined in 2018. You don't join a company after it has been running 5 years and get to call yourself "Co-Founder". Who does that?
Web developers and photographers are the opposite of 'prosumers', kind of by definition. Plus, think of the size of a full res photo coming out of a high-end phone, never mind a DSLR.
I have no idea what you're saying. Surely you're not saying "we all agree fast food workers don't deserve to be paid, therefore software developers don't deserve to be paid either"?

Of course fast food workers should feel entitled to be paid for their work, and fast food joints should feel entitled to charge money for the items on their menu. What?
For other people who are curious POCO stands for "Plain Old CLR Object" So I think just a basic uninhereted object.
Agreed. Comparing them does a disservice to both languages—they're tools with separate niches. It's fair to compare their package management strategies or communities, but the languages themselves are too different.
Ask HN: Has anyone else just gotten bored of the Internet?
I don't know whether it's age, faster connection speeds, or work. But I just don't feel like the internet is exciting and interesting anymore. Maybe it's social media as a whole that bores me, but even blogs and websites seem full of useless information to me now, and playing games or watching silly videos just doesn't excite me anymore.

I ask this question here on HN, but I suspect that people who are bored with the internet may not be on the internet to share their opinion anyway. That said, HN community has been very diverse, and maybe you are in my stage where you're bored with the internet, yet you lurk on HN still, in which case, I'd appreciate your 2 cents on the causes of this.

Honestly, I'm also a bit worried that this might indicate an unknown depression. I'm 28 and shouldn't feel like this now.
I replaced the battery in my 2013 about 11 months ago, FWIW.
FYI the storage is upgradable on these machines (and it's very straightforward to do). It's a nonstandard SSD interface, but you can official modules 2nd hand on ebay quite cheaply these days.
You can upgrade the SSD yourself with a kit from OWC.

Well when you start getting memory pressure you start losing cycles to compressing and decompressing pages which makes everything run like complete shit.
Sweet no identification of color space, gamma, and forced storage of the alpha channel. What a great format! /s

PNG is pretty stupid easy to parse and supports inline compression and multiple bit depths. If you want some uncompressed format that's easy to pipe and parse just use the NetPBM family.

Images are not just 2D arrays of pixels. There's extra data needed to tell the viewing system some of the image's provenance so it does so correctly.
I've just bought an Intel MacBook Pro so I can continue to develop for x86 in the cloud!

My experience with Go libraries in a nutshell. One of the factors that made me abandon that language for others that for me are much more productive.
I believe Microsoft are still recommending people move to .NET 5 though. Unless you're extremely risk averse it seems like a very simple upgrade from 3.1 to 5 and hopefully 5 to 6 next November (which will be the LTS release) is the same.
They only launched their lower performance machines today. Air, mini, two port Pro.

So that’s the context to interpret the Ram they offer.
Every time I approach burnout my body reacts with some funny symptom I had never suffered before. The human brain can be really imaginative at asking you to stop.
There are other manufacturers that are building ARM servers these days. AWS even went so far as too build their own chip: https://aws.amazon.com/ec2/graviton/
There are many ambitious and accomplished stoics. Seneca and Marcus Aurelius spring to mind, but there would be more.
It's true that if the OS could predict exactly which memory pages to keep and which to swap out, we could save memory wastage, but so far I haven't seen any memory management scheme that can reduce memory consumption by half.

For me personally, I won't even consider a machine with less than 32GB ram in 2020/2021. With 32GB, I never close out of applications that I use regularly, and so it allows me to switch state instantaneously for not that much more money. My workloads are typically read-heavy & multiple GBs - editing/screening/cataloging hundreds of RAW photos, loading of multi-GB games, having about 50 tabs open in FF, etc. After having switched careers I rarely code anymore, and I don't think these are uncommon requirements.
In that sense, InfluxDB will start to have a decent amount of overlap with something like Snowflake or Redshift.

> I'm just trying to show you that you are capable of being wrong

That's quite a rude way to try to win an argument. And yes, you're cherry picking. Did you even read the article which contained the first image you linked?

"The vast majority of demonstration events associated with the BLM movement are non-violent (see map below). In more than 93% of all demonstrations connected to the movement, demonstrators have not engaged in violence or destructive activity. Peaceful protests are reported in over 2,400 distinct locations around the country. Violent demonstrations,4 meanwhile, have been limited to fewer than 220 locations — under 10% of the areas that experienced peaceful protests. In many urban areas like Portland, Oregon, for example, which has seen sustained unrest since Floyd’s killing, violent demonstrations are largely confined to specific blocks, rather than dispersed throughout the city"

Watching this event was definitely an interesting look at the top rungs of Apple. Their own corporate self-perception has certainly evolved in the last few years. I think many commentators have noted the way that Apple has tried to take its "decisive-break-with-the-past" marketing of prior years and prior hardware generations and make it something that can keep selling into the long term. Making their own chips seems like yet another salvo in that effort.

> "I imagine they all are made with 16Gb on and the ones that are broken get sold as 8Gb."

Don't think so. The M1's RAM is integrated into the SoC package, but it's not actually on the same die.

There's some images showing the discrete RAM modules in Apple's marketing material.

> "Edit: just seen £200 to upgrade from a 8Gb unit to 16Gb."

It's always been this way with Apple. Just in the old days you could pop the modules out and upgrade the RAM yourself.
These are very good points and your observations and comments are well put.

Thank you!
This seems literally some completely superfluous reinvention of PPM P6. What's wrong with the suckless guys?
B vitamins are water soluble, so they are easy to become deficient in under any kind of duress. They are known to be important to neurological function.

A quick google of "b vitamin deficiency fine motor impairment" brings up B 12 repeatedly in references. Some B vitamin or other was one of the supplements medically recommended for children with autism that I gave to one of my sons when he was about eight years old and his handwriting issues improved. (I would have to try to dig up old notes, if they still exist, to say exactly which b vitamin.)

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vitamin_B12_deficiency

(I am not a doctor. This is not medical advice for anyone, much less for the OP. This is just a general observation for anyone interested.)

Edit:

Yep, my old notes still exist and B 12 is one of the three B vitamins listed (I never found DMG but gave the three B vitamins and magnesium to my son and after a few months saw improvement in social issues and handwriting). Excerpt from an old blog post:

"In 1996, I found some information on the Internet about a vitamin therapy that doctors sometimes prescribe for autistic spectrum children. Recently, I found the crumpled, pathetic slip of paper that I originally wrote my notes on. My original note has the following bullet points written willie-nillie, all over the place:

(DMG) Dimethylglycine

125mg tablets or capsules

take 2 - 3 weeks ("then add"),

vitamins B6, B5 then add B12/magnesium

Okay, I take that to mean that all the doses are supposed to be 125 milligrams. They did suggest you start things either one at a time or in pairs (and I take my notes to mean that the pairs are 'B6 with B5' and 'B12 with Magnesium') and observe if there were behavior changes with the addition of each thing. I think 2-3 weeks is how long you should have the child on each supplement before adding the next one."

I didn't see any of the elite media saying "Biden will naturally win in a landslide per polling". They were saying that in 2016. In 2020 much more common was "the polls are showing a landslide, but I don't trust the polls completely any more".

If you are saying that the polls were deliberately biased, I disagree strongly. It's a really freaking hard job if only 1-3% of the people you try to poll don't hang up the phone on you. That the polling error was under 10% was incredible in that scenario.

The media is biased. The polls had an error. Two very different things.
> validate the election results

This is one thing that I considered, but I wonder if exit polls would be a better choice. They're usually much more accurate than pre-election polls, so they serve as a hedge against large-scale fraud.
You are missing out if you don't have 4 USB-C ports in both sides of your laptop. You can charge your laptop and connect a display with a single cable and without caring about putting the computer in the right direction.
Use external drives. They're cheaper and way larger.
> People 2020 said that in 2016, yet the average income of Trump voters was higher than Clinton voters.

One person with $100 million income has a higher average income than 999 people with a $100K annual income.

Averages aren't particularly useful here.
16GB RAM max prevented me from an immediate purchase. Next year, when I can at least have 32GB and be somewhat future-proofed.

That they are still selling new computers for $1000+ in 2020 with 8GB RAM as the default and 16GB of RAM max is a bad joke.
Snowflake was actually specifically mentioned as an example of who else is doing this in the blog post
No; I mean if KeepassXC sees a local change and one that came in from "outside" (eg: via syncthing), it will Do The Right Thing more often than not. I assume that if my wife and I change the same record in incompatible ways it might not be able to handle that, but if she adds a password and I remove or modify a different one, it should be able to merge those changes without issue.
I had a similar experience 20 years ago. I had a herniated disc triggered by heavy lifting. Spent about 10 months in pain (enough that it was a problem but not so much that it was debilitating). Finally had an epidural after months of PT that was going nowhere and was 100% fine the next day! I was lucky, the epidural broke the cycle of inflammation that in all likelihood the PT was actually aggravating.

BUT....

Last year I had another herniated disc triggered by axing down a tree. This time it was really bad. I spent two months in debilitating pain unable to move or really do much of anything. Couldn't stand, couldn't walk, couldn't sit, couldn't lay down. All I could do was dope myself up on narcotics and try to sleep the time away.

I had two epidurals. The first one took the edge off the pain away but I was till unable to move. The second epidural I actually regressed.

So I went and had a microdiscectomy done. Turns out my nerve had slipped into a canal that had no room for it and was pinched inside. A week or two of recovery and I felt great again.

BUT....

I didn't change my habits, covid-19 hit, I started working from home where I did not have anything close to an ergonomic setup and my back started to ache again. This time it was the original disc. I was doing ok, but it was enough that I knew I should talk to my doctor. A couple weeks later, at the pool, I decided to go off the diving board while my back was slightly bothering, and that slight bother became nearly debilitating pain again and two months of physical therapy.

I feel great again, the PT worked this time.

What's my point? The injection doesn't always work. PT doesn't always work. There's lots of ways things can go wrong. Take care of yourself and be careful, next time you might not be so lucky!
16GB limit with the latest MBP M1 13inch seems a big downer, I will wait for 16 inch MBP refresh now.

> lets politicians and journalists know what is politically possible

Perhaps issue polling is much more useful than candidate polling.
Been a longtime fan of YouTube-dl, so much better and faster than any alternative. I remember being in high school in a group project with some theater kids. They needed a ton of free stock footage from Vimeo and they were going through links one-by-one to download each video individually. I just compiled a list of the links, ran youtube-dl, and had it done in 5 minutes when they'd already wasted three hours on it.
This is BS irresponsible clickbait.

They're diagnosing more dementia cases because most covid patients are very old. They're diagnosing more cases of anxiety and depression because everyone around them is saying they should feel anxious and depressed because of covid. A placebo pill would probably do the trick here (for the latter).
Exit polls were historically used as a method of detecting election fraud, because they've always been very accurate. It's only the last few elections where we've seen such a large disparity in polling and actual results.
Complicated tea leaves
I have a different take on this. In the next 10-20 years, I could earn DAI (dollars backed by ether), and buy items with DAI or ETH, and borrow mortgages on DeFi in ETH or DAI once I have a digital identity issued on Ethereum with collateral / trust built in. I also see no reason for Bitcoin.
IIRC, 538 has available both the polling data and predictions for all of their political forecast series (not just Presidential.)
Err, since she criticizes a (non-essential ritual) practice in certain kosher south American slaughterhouses, that means "in practice it is not"? What wide expertise do you have in shechita?

To explain further; in shechita, the animal needs to be restrained when it is cut. Some kosher slaughterhouses did this with a "shackle and hoist" method. This is not a classical shechita technique, but one added for "production line" purposes. It scares the animal, and should be discouraged. In fact, it is banned in Israel.

https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/israel-instructs-kosher-sl....

Here is the excerpt you misinterpreted.

"For over twenty years I have been actively involved in improving animal welfare during kosher slaughter. When animal welfare is being evaluated, one must carefully separate the variable of how the animal is restrained from the variable of throat cutting without stunning. These are two separate issues. My work has focused on replacing the cruel shackling and hoisting procedure with a more comfortable method of holding the animals prior to shehita. When a stressful method of restraint is used, it is impossible to evaluate the animal's reaction to the shehita cut because the animal is kicking and bellowing from the stress of the restraint methods.

After I had designed and operated a better restraining device to hold the cattle in a comfortable upright position, I was amazed to observe that the animal did not appear to feel the cut. My work has focused on improving the methods used to hold the animals. I have never attacked shehita. In fact many of my articles support shehita.

Over the years I have worked with many wonderful shochets and rabbis. I totally respect these very sincere people. Rabbi Abe Rine had been a great supporter of my work and when he died it was a great loss to animal welfare and religious slaughter. I have worked with many shochets who were grateful to have the new systems. Eliminating shackling and hoisting of conscious live cattle improves both animal welfare and personal safety for the rabbis and shochets."

I’m just excited to see NET 5.0 things when checking to see windows os upgrades.

I have no idea what it means or the significance of it.
I was going to point out something like that but figured I would get shouted down. For me, check in to bitbucket and Jenkins pulls the build and does it on a rack full of servers dedicated for the process...and yes to VIM. :)

A lot of my "short term" things end up being multi-month distractions or worse - and the verify/list/drop cycle is reflexive paranoia after one too many botched merges lost data.

Sometimes those botched mergeds have been due to my own incompetence, sometimes due to P4Merge literally corrupting my file and saving out something totally different than what I'd resolved, and sometimes due to unexpected refactoring between branches causing enough of a mess that reapplying the work by hand is easier than "resolving" the conflict.
A few months ago I build a personal linux server and use it via ssh and VSCode's remote development feature, which mount the server filesystem and do port forwarding so it feels as if it's a local machine even while working outside my home network. My usual workflow doesn't change at all, and I got the benefit of a fast server while using laptop form factor. The new arm laptop is probably perfect for this setup, allowing you to build for intel arch whenever you need it.

Yeah, I found running all my dev environments in Docker/VMs made everything too slow. So I've just installed everything natively and have my own little docker-compose style runner to simplifying running our in-house microservices. I would definitely appreciate decent Docker performance, but it was actually surprisingly painless to set this up.
PPM P6 probably wasn't "handmade" enough I guess :D
I think you should look harder for content you like, whether a Youtube channel that fits your interest, or a specific topic you want to know more about. Internet is at its best when you actually have a personal goal, and look for relevant information and people.

Also, you should probably limit the time you spend randomly browsing for the internet. It is just like TV or video-game: this makes your brain tired in a strange 'addictive boredom' if you are half-passive in front of it for too long.
Alright, maybe you should have read my answer before replying. I do know what I'm talking about, I wrote the damn thing.

Because parochialism.
Using soccer (any sport) as an example -
City a fans hate local City b fans when they play each other. When a or b play c (out of local area) a and b fans are against c. Proud to be from a+b.
If a, b, or c play against d (very far) then a, b, and c become United. Ie, North-South divide.
At a national level a-z are suddenly patriotic and suddenly everything is America's fault.
God, I hate team sports almost as much as the misuse of commas and religion :-)

I'm glad that substances like cannabis are enjoying wider legal access, but you're right that they aren't always miracles. I was recently diagnosed with bipolar disorder, and in the months since I've completely stopped all cannabis-related products, my mental health has improved considerably without having to take prescribed medication.
Yes, this will likely be the case, but it's not a specific goal. We're focusing our efforts right now on the InfluxDB time series use cases we see most. More general data warehousing work isn't our focus, but we expect to pick up quite a bit of that along the way as we develop and as the underlying Arrow tools develop.
That's all true. I'm worried about what people will do with this stuff in practice (more rope to hang themselves) not eBPF fundamentally is.
I tried to explain this to my wife once. Easy to say I should take a break or not be so hard on myself but if I screw up neither of us have food or a home. There is no other option.
By level I don't mean experience or complexity so much as the amount of baseline knowledge needed to take part in a conversation. To use your example, the old hands are fully capable of being part of a discussion on the technicalities of a case with the student, they just realize there's more to it than the technicalities. The conversation is at a lower level because the barrier for entry in experience is lower. Recognizing who someone is from the conversation they're taking part in though is much harder. A historian or police officer could just as well understand that legal cases don't depend as much on technicalities as people think and be capable of taking part in such a conversation without others in that conversation being able to tell the difference between them and a professional lawyer. The best bet then for most parties is to by default treat all others as equals of unknown origin until shown otherwise.
