Everyone hates ads, but everyone hates paying for stuff even more.

Installing an ad blocker on desktop is easy, but about 90% of the planet still wouldn’t know how to do it.

Blocking ads on mobile is much harder and that’s where most of web traffic is coming from anyway.

Everyone hates ads, but everyone hates paying for content even more, and they don’t have the technical means to do anything about the ads. See where this is going?

Also, the claim that everyone hates ads is itself questionable. Everyone on HN hates ads, but Karen from Wisconsin or Rajit from Bangalore haven’t even so much as thought about it. They go on with their lives as they visit their favorite websites multiple times per hour, without realizing the atrocious UX and flagrant privacy violations they are being subjected to. Because the sites are free, and they provide value to them, and because they have other things to worry about.
If you use Firefox multi-account containers and the Temporary Containers addon with YouTube (and stay logged out) so that it never gets a chance to learn your habits, then you'll get very mainstream (bland and totally uninteresting to me) stuff on the home page when you arrive, and after a video or two the recommendations will be almost entirely around whatever you are watching in that session.
Google Cloud Platform Tutorial: From Zero to Hero with GCP
This is why the recent weapon deal finalized by the current POTUS was so important. A lot of people there are disappointed by the result of the US presidential elections, since the probable soon-to-be president have a very ambiguous stance on the matter.

It would be nice if other powers such as France were to offer arms deal, particularly ships and aircrafts (it did in the past).

Taiwan is a very nice place with a lot of talents, influences, languages and a working democracy. It would be a real shame if all of this were whipped by China.
No.

ARM has a huge problem with compatibility and secrecy.

Buy a random intel machine .... will it run Windows and Linux? YES.

Buy a random ARM device..,, will it run Linux? Maybe, probably not, even if it does, probably there’s problems and issues caused by the CPU vendor keeping aspects of its design secret.

ARM is a very very long way from replacing Intel.
Websites spamming me with captchas is terrible and offensive.

"Because scaling. It is our God-given right."
No eggs would be preferable. Still plenty of killing and suffering involved in that industry.
Perhaps, but what's notable about Google is the extent to which everything is a text config file, and the fact that everything is in a monorepo.

As an example that surprised me, even our oncall rotations are kept in a text file along with a list of upcoming assignments. The rotation tool checks out that file and appends the next few names in the list to the end of that file to prepare the "calendar" for the coming weeks.
Donate half of it to a Schwab donor advised fund. Or better yet, donate shares with unrealized capital gains. Then look for ways to do good in the world with that tax-write off charitable balance.
They said no full GC. The GC runs constantly in parallel with your program and cleans up what it can, but never has to pause execution of the whole program to reclaim even more memory. Not claiming I know how to do this, but I believe this is what they claiming.
You don't even KNOW what they claimed, yet you are so sure in that stance... You are seriously frightening me, the level of head up your own ass is astounding, you must be smelling your own breath!
I haven't tried Firefox + AdBlocker in a while but I always had the idea that in a very Mechanical Turk way I had to earn my few cents worth income for the machine before I was allowed to have no ads and live outside of the Google Empire.
It's not rocket science honestly. Mostly any Java performance guide will tell you how.

Allocate either locally on the stack or allocate for the life of the process so it never gets GC'd.

Of course, spend time profiling to make sure you got it. Figure out your redeployment cadence and that sets the ceiling for how much data can be an exception to these rules.

(e.g. if you redeploy nightly then it's fine to grow the memory consumption as long as you don't hit full GC in less than 24hrs.)

In a nutshell that's it.
People said the same thing about instant (and not instant) replays
Yeah the lack of dual boot worries me.
People using this kind of tracking should be ashamed. But they aren't so mechanisms like this are needed.

That said, unique to the Apple ecosystem are universal links that work very similar to deep links.

So if they don't disable this as well it is a deliberate attempt to lie to users in my opinion, because to my knowledge the same tracking problems apply to universal links.

Sure, as long as your non-garbage-collected language from ten years ago had memory safety (and general lack of UB footguns), first class IDE support, excellent introspection and profiling facilities and a large potential hiring pool of elite programmers and wide acceptance in the industries you were trying to sell into.
> there still doesn't seem to be much in the way of micropayment infrastructure.

Anti Money Laundering regulation killed it: KYC doesn't scale down to micropayment levels.

If you want to fix the web, you have to roll back the AML/KYC insanity. Until that happens, the web will stay broken, because paying with attention (ads) is magically exempt from the AML/KYC insanity, whereas paying with money or anything money-equivalent (fungible and transferable) is not.
Caveat: this only works when people can have/do what they really want. Ex. In a world where 99% of people haven't even heard of a smartphone that doesn't use Android or iOS, you can't tell if people value things that neither platform provides.

In other words, they're trying to answer the question of whether you and I are perceiving the same thing in our brains when we look at something that we both agree is "red"?
Honest opinion on FAANG tools is that the big ones are now antiquated and slowing these big tech companies down. Eventually they will need to rip out all these tools that once gave them an edge and replace them, but they cant bc of how much depends on them, and whala, you have a large failing slow company
It would be interesting to know what the trade-off for those tweaks was. Typically it's increased memory usage.

Another relevant aspect is what happens when one hits GC pauses again. Will there be any tweaks left? Will they conflict with the previous ones? Using such high-level levers to fix performance problems in a specific component is great when it works, but when it doesn't you're out of options.

The third one was definitely the least, it was losing money (and specifically to trader-invisible things that never got worked on).

The whole of the trading strategy (and capital traded, return profiles, etc) between the first two was fairly different, so it’s hard to compare.

I would say though that the first firm was significantly outperforming its peers in a way the second firm did not, although both were very successful.

The technology wasn’t the whole story in either case, but the first firm had significantly more and better opportunities as a result of just having a better stack all around

> I haven't seen many websites that match the depth and completeness of books yet.

Give it time. We're not even one generation into web as a viable knowledge distribution platform. Authors who wrote books for their entire lives are not going to learn to create good presentations overnight, if at all. That's ok, the following generations, native to interactive, engaging, immersive ways of presenting knowledge, will fill that gap with time.

The potential of the medium, however, is incredible and easily visible today. Better Explained is one of the greatest examples (in my experience). It will only get better from now on. Flat text won't ever disappear, I hope, as there are many subjects where text is the most suitable way of presenting knowledge, like in liberal arts. Most of science, however, will move to interactive presentations, simply because the time/knowledge gained ratio is much better in this case.
That is the problem, you think there is a process of getting into community.

You know like the rite of passage for sorority they make you drink something nasty and now you are one of them?
That is just to make fun of people and see who is bigger looser that does what others ask him to do.

If you look at responses in this thread there are couple mods in there replying. They are bashing main post here as well. Because if you are not interested in growing community but just drive by dropping something that is not it. Just getting to know how they communicate seems like what psychopath would do.

Investing in process like that is never going to be a good business strategy. That is why most companies just pay the ads.
Almost all software that has a login seems to throw away input. It's at the "forgot my password" prompt. I type in my email to login. I type a password. It doesn't work. I click "forgot my password" and I have to type my email again. On desktop it's not too annoying but on mobile I find it super frustrating.
As others said, no full GC events. Young generation GC is cheap, no need to avoid that.

Productivity is the point. Even while paying attention to GC, it's much faster to write good code in Java than to worry about every malloc() in C. I love C, but if I need to churn out high performance code quickly, Java is the choice.
But it’s idiotic to discuss ns-optimizations, when your infrastructure and vms add many times more that.

Aws is slow. Not talking about the network.
Gopher, FTP, newsgroups, BBS... Plenty of easy information sharing technologies existed before the web.
A classic case where captcha is essential is ddos attacks. By sheer volume, they are not able to bypass captcha, as they can't solve captcha at million qps. Rate limiting doesn't work under ddos as ddos attack can overwhelm rate limiting itself and also there are still many proxies that simple ip base rate limiting will cause large collateral damage. Captcha is a very effective tool for ddos protection.

For spam/abuse, captcha is mainly about raising the cost of attack, not about eliminating completely, while still minimizing the collateral damage. Captcha is never meant to be a protection against any targeted narrow scoped attacks anyway.

If the attack is small enough that attackers can pay captcha solving service, it's not big enough to matter.

Captcha is here to stay. It is fundamentally a technical mean to deal with the tragedy of commons, and thus won't disappear anytime soon.

Renaming terminology is just marketing that doesn't incur any costs to the groups allegedly championed. On the contrary, it is a quite demeaning and belittling if you think about it a little harder.

Camel uhhh the ones where you press on the filter and it makes it minty cigarettes were still very popular when I was in college 3-7 years ago. Cigarettes just don’t seem as popular anymore because they aren’t allowed to advertise like they used to in Formula 1, soccer, etc.

Also, while Microsoft bogged down and was not so hot or illustrious for a bit, in 2020 I would not even remotely compare the pull of working for MS with IBM. IBM is on Oracle’s level, MS has clawed back to nearly be on the same level as FAANG.

Nah, I searched for fridges on my ipad (with blockers on, nextdns) and a minute later my girlfriend started seeing fridge ads in facebook and instagram. And hasn't stopped seeing them.

My guess is that it was purely IP based that time.
That public IP and her FB account is now tainted forever.
(Googler here) The article is a good description of the tools, and I was not aware of the blaze clones plz and pants.

One thing that is maybe not obvious: For an API author, code search in combination with a monorepo and the somewhat hermetic universe which is Google's code base provides immediate access to all uses of a library. You can see what worked well and what didn't, and it enables effective refactorings. That also means when writing a client, you can quickly figure out from other client code how stuff is supposed to be used. All this makes code search such an effective tool in Google's development environment (in the broader sense).

If anything like this were possible for open source (indexing code that depends on a library/API, across subrepos in any version control system, in a way that gets near complete coverage), it would enable similar possibilities of systematic improvement.

Alas, it does not seem realistic except in a few niches where the number of clients is bounded and code owners are willing and able to follow a protocol (approve changes to their code that unblock such global improvements.)
The worry is third party deep linking platforms. Branch, Adjust are just two widely used services that exploit deterministic matching to drive up ad revenues.

I think Rust is better than C++ which is better than Java for it for any real time system.
my interpretation is:

1) from the article: "And UK customers who received Amazon's email have told BBC News this was not the case." - i.e: non-US customers received the email (myself included)

2) "we started emailing devices registered in the US" (which has an untrue scoping, since i have a UK registered device in Berlin, i _may_ have registered it in the US intially, i'm not sure) - to me, this refers _only_ to the original email announcement

and 3) still the spokeswoman talking, but no longer about the contents of the original email and not mentioning a follow up email: "This service will only be available in the US when it launches. We apologise for any confusion."

all in all:
The apology has been an article on the BBC via spokeswoman. Not an email to my inbox (yet), where the mistake occurred. so, while yes, they have apologised, it's not in the format you'd expect someone who sent out a mass email incorrectly.
ehh I didn't even mention AWS - all I did was using the word 'instance' which seems to have thrown you off.

Nanoscale fluidics are much more efficient at transferring heat or mass. The issue is that we have just started developing an understanding of the field, so our usual understanding of those concepts have to be developed from scratch. As you mentioned, the forces become large enough, and some variables can't just be ignored. But in my experience (working with microscale perfusion reactor arrays), they actually deliver much more and reliably compared to a conventional system.

I don’t have time to right a proper reply right now (May try later) but the real situation is really complicated. Tolkien spent his entire life writing about Middle Earth and the Lord of the Rings is only a small part of his output. He also wrote academic output and some other stories. Tolkien himself sometimes wrote different versions of the same tales, sometimes in different styles, often making changes to the characters or plot points. He had no version control. After his death, Tolkien’s son Christopher pulled together The Silmarillian, which is a précis of some of the key stories of the Elder days of Middle Earth. He then published, over several years, books that presented some of the raw material, explicitly pointing out Tolkien’s own contradictions and retcons. This can be fascinating but frustrating, especially when Tolkien abandoned good stories and characters midway.
You are thinking in bay area figures. The blender foundation is based in the Netherlands and engineers make far less in wages over in Europe. And lastly by open source standards those grants are quite significant.
The question is how much of your remaining tick-to-trade is really in the software loop. Realistically at the bleeding edge more and more logic is going into FPGA (and maybe ASIC t some extent). Your software is primarily there to make sure that you've processed the previous tick and re-configured the FPGA rather than actually competing in tick to trade. Given that's the case the software doesn't need to be the fastest, it just needs to be fast enough.

Meanwhile if your logic isn't going into FPGA you may well just not be super competitive anyway and therefore the priority is time to market.

It certainly is frustrating when there is no way to get your message to the devs. There's a game I play. Sometime in late July it started exhibiting a game breaking bug. AFAIK there is no way to contact the devs. I went through the "proper channels" and silence.

I remember back when FogBugz was a thing and Joel claimed that the correct way to provide customer service was track bugs, have one owner, and only allow the original reporter of the bug to mark it as closed. I'm sure that's not completely feasible but It's surprising to me how I know of ZERO software developers that follow anything even remotely close to this practice except for a few open source projects.

Want to report a bug on Windows? Photoshop? Almost any game ever? Good luck finding out if a dev ever saw your report and that it didn't just get dropped by some underpaid customer service center rep.

I'm a big fan of bazel. It's very similar to blaze, which outside of Google is a good and bad thing.

The good is that I find BUILD files easier to read/reason about than Makefiles and it also is multilingual.

The bad is external dependency is hard, especially if you want to take advantage of all of bazel's features like hermetic builds. Most larger C and C++ don't use bazel to build and don't have BUILD files, so you end up maintaining your own build system for that project OR use something like [this][1].
