Not just Linux, but windows also has Large Pages support. Back in the day where CPU cryptocurrency mining was still a thing (and for some cryptocurrencies which are aimed towards CPU-mining still is), some mining programs would ask to enable large page support.
Sure I’m not saying it’s perfect. But I also don’t think it was harder for them to deliver if I order $30 in food versus $50 in food usually. Hence why I would try to pay them a fair amount based on their time, rather than rewarding the person delivering more food with more money even if they went significantly less distance and it was quicker

Clearly it would be better if they were compensated fairly and I didn’t have to try to even it out with tips

This comment section is not complete without mentioning Oberon, designed by maestro prof. Niklaus Wirth. First appearing in 1988 it may not be a new language but it has gone through several simplifications and the latest revision is from 2016. The programming language Go borrowed quite a few ideas from it although Oberon is simpler and has an orthogonal feature set. How many programming languages are defined in 16 A4 pages including examples?

I too have wanted something like this for a long time.
Fabrication is where Intel is falling down.

They have fresh new chip designs that would be perfectly adequate, but they are still hobbled by 14nm. They have now released three? four? iterations of x86 design on the same 14 nm process, because 10nm is that troubled

If you spun off the fabrication, as AMD did, you would have a much smaller, but more-competitive fabless business, and the fabricator would implode. (Which is pretty much what happened to Global Foundries, AMD's former fabrication house)

In any case, much of the value for shareholders would be eradicated. Intel has historically done very well as a vertically integrated business. They would like to remain vertically integrated.

We may see Intel resort to outside fabrication -- executives have already mentioned it in the business press -- but I very much doubt we will see them discard their internal fabrication capabilities.
That's on them.
Camera/lidar/infrared and some ML to see what the food is and then a one button 'cook'?

That'd be quite awesome tbh.

I can figure it out. I don't need to get information filtered by people who think they know what is best for everyone (else). This is what China does.
> Guns in NYC are fairly rare

There are police openly carrying guns on every street corner in NYC. There must be like a hundred thousand guns in the city minimum. Your idea of ‘rare’ is delusional even if we just consider the police let alone everyone else.
perhaps not in absolute terms, however In the launch industry they are almost as massive if not bigger . spacex also employees 8,000+ people. That is a scale large enough for it to have similar problems of intel size companies.

This is a fantastic way to look at it. It feels like a perfect application of the 80 / 20 rule -> with 20% of the effort, you can get 80% of the benefits of being vegetarian / vegan.
Pretty funny, even the one little project I did for Intel as a contractor, apparently there was another group working on their own version of it and mine reeeeally had to beat theirs to be considered a success, and for my client to be considered a success. I think I pulled it off, but it was interesting being a pawn in someone else's chess game!
Isn't also possibled that although the idea in itself might be desirable every potential competitor who attempted to build something similar encountered a technological or administrative problem that stopped them in their tracks?

Right, it sounds like Apple was very careful to provide an out here for enthusiasts by making it possible to sign your own kernel, something you can't do for iPhone/iPad/Watch. Seems like an astute appreciation of differences in their target market.
If you think the tone of Congressional or Presidential debates is undercompetitive in recent times, compared to several decades ago, you have a very different opinion than I do.

A band with an incredible history. The singer is an Italian-Scottish born after his family escaped China. He attended the same school as Prince Charles but ran away one year before graduating. Somehow landed in the middle of the mountains in Argentina and started a reggae band that would morph into what’s in the link below. The most influential band of the underground music in Argentina in my opinion.

Kind of but if you think about it generics and parametric polymorphism in general is a restriction on the types that a function can take as parameters. It is a feature that allows you to restrict how a function is used. In a sense you are using generics to deliberately make a function less powerful.

Golang doesn't have parametric polymorphism as a restrictive option . Instead you can use interface {} which removes all restrictions makes go as unrestrictive as python. Type checking and any feature related to it in general exists to make languages less "expressive"
5 year EV is much lower in tech than finance for Harvard grads. I'm not sure ab consulting.

It's not decentralized because it's federated, client-server chat software. This is more decentralized than Discord or what-have-you, but it requires reliance on multiple centralized internet services and authorities, as I outlined.

I'm well aware that FOSS projects tend to be underfunded. Matrix is an outlier with some large grants fueling the project and opaque organizational structure.

> What you seem to want is a peer-to-peer solution, which at this point in time is not something Matrix has built or claims to have built.

Peer-to-peer is not absolutely necessary (it can be both). There's nothing wrong with routing message through a network, but e2ee is absolutely necessary, and it took until May this year for Matrix to enable that feature by default. Most importantly, in Matrix, your identity is associated with and controlled by a homeserver. It's under someone else's control. That's not good... Your identity should be under your control. We've known how to do this with asymmetric encryption for at least a couple of decades.
There is one more solution. Use a VPS only as an endpoint bastion server. Keep the data and services in your own home server. We need not trust the VPS provider this way. And we can easily recover as long as the domain name and the home server are under your control.

It appears to have been a deliberate choice, and one they have justified on several occasions.

That's not to say you're wrong, but it would be a turnaround at this point.
"Sharecropper programmers" might be an accurate way of describing developers for Apple platforms, but that's not what is happening when people use GitHub and Discord to work on open-source software. They can easily move their Git hosting and chat to another platform—they just choose to use the popular, coincidentally non-OSS, platform for its pragmatism.

A large base of existing users, easy onboarding, and good visibility makes a big difference for many OSS projects. Using a self-hosted Git hosting system and mailing list is a lot of work—and it adds a not-insignificant barrier to entry for potential contributors. What issues exist with popular, proprietary Git and chat tools that make them unsuitable for OSS development?

What are some of the considerations you're thinking of where using a popular option is not pragmatic?
Android is a better PDA but iPhone is a better phone.
It's not even that. This is a distraction from the real issue which is this technology exists not to improve the security posture but to enforce market control.

So go back a few weeks and you buy a copy of Fortnite, Apple and Epic lock horns on a dispute and they revoke Epic's certificate. Next thing you get a shiny new M1 equipped Mac and go to install it and it's gone from the app store. Slightly deflated, you go back to your Mac and copy the files off it onto your new one, thinking you circumvented this slyly, it does an OCSP check and refuses to run the binary. Eventually the OCSP check will be done, probably after an OS upgrade on your old Mac and that's gone too. So you're deprived of something you paid for and have no control over the hardware you paid for.

This is an example of what could happen.

If it improved security posture the signing infrastructure wouldn't be used to sign any old shit from millions of developers doing all sorts of nefarious things that Apple didn't pick up during the review process...

Edit: this has already been demonstrated if you refer to the Flappy Bird mess a few years back.
1) when I look at the direction of politics in most European nations, I see a similar trend; perhaps not as far advanced in some cases, but all pointing in a similar direction
2) What you describe seems to be more or less another name for the problem, rather than a description of the cause.
Yes, it's LEGO for anyone with domain knowledge bias.

I would go one further: building a functional, prototype core vs. a marketable core are entirely different beasts given the litany of testing and customer considerations. It's difficult to say what exactly this kid did since the article is light on detail; it could be an achievement.

It's quite trivial to build a simple processor in HDL (.v or .vhdl) because the compiler synthesizes the actual digital logic for you. It's not much different than C or a functional language like Haskell or OCaml, but with considerations of timing and don't cares/high impedance.

PS: s/no more hard/no more difficult/ because "more hard" is always improper when "harder" exists.
Goldman, Morgan Stanley and JPMorgan have all moved down market and lead most IPOs these days. Everyone else is fighting for 30% or less of the fees. As a CEO, you can’t lose your job if they mess up your IPO. But if you choose Jefferies and they blow it, you can get fired. There is a term for this that is escaping me right now. There is also a potentially easier path to get an intro as the Goldman brand name carries a lot of weight. All this to say though, there is significant competition within there but if you work there for 3 years you probably work as hard as you would on your own company, but probability weighted income is higher and you have more exit opportunities. I think it makes sense to go work there if you can.
Coming up with a different way to solve the same problem or using ideas from other products is cool. Nothing is truly original. We are all standing on the shoulders of giants, after all.

I'm talking about people who just rip-off someone else's design with adding anything original.
> Needless to say, this can have some pretty corrosive effects without proper supervision.

And half the time the supervision is the exact opposite. Concepts like stack ranking are a sure-fire way of making the workplace more contentious, politicised, and publicised.

Because that's the thing about

> intense competition

95% of the time it's about visibility, the technical excellence only matters if it's visible and publicised to decision-makers, which means self-aggrandisement and a mastery of office politics not only can compensate for lacking technical skills, but will usually edge out technical skill entirely.
Well just to express my bias I am a big fan of open source and contribute to several open source projects; one of which I could see talking to your API if you had one. Also, not sure how many people have developed your application, but having lots of feedback from a community on discord or some such service; especially if in the future you decided to open source the project could solidify your project as the go to open source project in this space. I am not aware; but others could chime in current open source projects of this completeness like yours that are open source.

What? It's so funny how "news" is able to spin a fairy tale that the masses so readily believe. Ignoring the fact that we exterminated our "neighbors" ( natives ) and stole their land, enslaved blacks, etc, america was never a "welcoming" place.

Almost every ethnic, racial group was banned from immigrating to the US at one point. Heck, all of asia was barred from immigrating to the US for most of the 20th century.

Wouldn't Delicious be more like Pinterest? I have to admit I hadn't heard of it before, but SeeLink's main use case is to share links with small groups of people, such as teams, friends, or family. SeeLink might come in handy for a student project where you need to share a ton of resources across the web, or even starting a new side project where you need to do lots of research and collaboration. Thanks for taking the time to comment, though!
This is also the preferred style of microwave for blind people, because there's a direct relationship between mechanical tactility and performance.
This is a huge peeve of mine. The firmware in the 2020 mass market trash is the same as 1995; they have no reason to change it because you'll keep buying the hardware over and over again.

And it's buggy. Try opening the door on the first "finished cooking" beep. It will keep fucking beeping for 5 seconds even though it has a door sensor and it could stop the beeping.
Stock options in an already public company carries a lot of weight relative to a company that it doesn’t seem they are in a hurry to go public.
I highly doubt you can get to the executive level of such a large company without playing politics. And playing it well. It's inevitable.
Agreed, and furthermore the article calls the privacy arguments "far-fetched" and "dogwhistles", while only tackling a strawman version of the other side's view. The article doesn't for instance investigate the fact that the OCSP requests go over port 80 (i.e. unencrypted HTTP), or discuss the reliability issues that come into play when everyone's computers depend on a single service to have 100% uptime.

Finally, I think the writer should be more careful with their use of the term "dogwhistle". It's a politically-loaded term that isn't used correctly in this piece.
I have a smoke alarm for that
You’re making a big bet on equity appreciation though. That’s how the vast majority of very highly paid folks in tech make their money. The consulting jobs pay it in cash.
I generally agree with the bit about increasing parity. Some policies seem to relegate citizens to a lower class.

The part about the brake light doesn't sound like a good idea. Police do encounter people with more serious warrants while responding to minor infractions or calls. Some of these individuals are dangerous. It's best to have the equipment needed to deal with those situations. I think the shortfall is that some people lack the training to go with it.
Mutual cooperation is often spurred by personal and professional competition. I know I've been with teams that I had to drag through projects because they "get paid the same" whether or not it ever gets finished, and well-complemented teams where we forgot everything else while we built on each other's achievements.

There's selfish, winner takes all competition that creates winners and losers, and then there's healthy, productive competition where everyone who engages comes out better off for challenging themselves against a peer.

And obviously, there has to be a culture that provides resources no matter the outcomes. If you starve the 'losers', you're just creating desperate bait dogs in a toxic work environment.

This is why extremely steep marginal takes rates improve economic efficiency. If you can’t get rich by playing office politics you might as well enjoy making a good product.
While I would not at all wish to return to ethnic homogeneity (to the extent that ever existed), there was a very real downturn in immigration into the U.S. from FDR until LBJ. FDR was quite opposed to allowing immigration in, perhaps at least in part due to the very high unemployment that he was trying to address. The tight restrictions stayed in place for several decades.
Koreans rejoice.
Strange, I would categorize the problem we had was that most groups had a super-majority of people in California who would end up reaching social consensus instead of having technical arguments.

Agree with everything except the RISC vs CISC bit. Modern Arm isn't really RISC and x86 gets translated into RISC like microinstructions. To the extent that ARMv8 has an advantage I think it's due to being a nearly clean design 10 years ago rather than carrying the x86 legacy.
Could you give a few examples of when you see this app shining? Usually if I want to maintain a list of links with people I (1) also want to write text around those links, and (2) use a Google doc, which might lack in link-specific features, but is otherwise totally adequate. So looking at the page here I'm not sure what this app has to offer me.
Why are people so wedded to the notion that there is a conspiracy here? What if there isn't? What does it mean then?

I find that those who are strong believers in conspiracy theories never consider that they might just be wrong. No, anything that might suggest they're wrong is just further evidence of a cover up. I guess being wrong in this case would mean all the famous people who've been villainized for alleged participation in Epstein's trafficking aren't actually worthy of all the mud that's been thrown their way. He's actually more valuable as a political tool dead than he is alive so certain political groups can slander their opponents with connections to him and he can't refute anything. Here's an alternative conspiracy theory: right wing groups killed him so they could start a conspiracy theory that a powerful Democratic cabal that doesn't actually exist had him killed and dirty left wing politicians with association to him. Prove that didn't happen.

I'm not saying it's not true, maybe it is, but in absence of additional evidence it just seems most likely that the guy just killed himself to avoid being prosecuted for sex trafficking of children, which he was almost certainly guilty of.

But seriously, I still think any investigations should continue and any associates of his, whoever they are, should be brought to justice.

> This is a controversial opinion, but I don't agree with the idea that big corporations should make an entry into every single adjacent market. If the company has core expertise and advantages that can deliver a decisive win in a known-lucrative market, then it's a no brainer. But if that's not the case, why run around chasing shadows everywhere, instead of focusing on harvesting the markets where you're already winning.

The risk is that a competitor comes out of these adjacent markets and edges you out. That's what's looking likely to happen with ARM, which is slowly moving from embedded / cellphone to laptops and servers.
