Cooperative multitasking is much easier to implement and administer than preemptive multitasking, and always has been. But there are cases where it isn't good enough, and if you hit those then you need a system that can do preemptive multitasking gracefully - which often means you end up with just as much complexity as if you'd used preemptive multitasking from the start, but with the complex parts being less well-tested.

Entirely my take, minus the irony. I hugely dislike driving with an armed boxing glove in front of me. A boxing glove originally put there for the benefit of people not inclined to wear a seatbelt. The vast majority of traffic accidents I see (and I drive 8 - 10 hours every day) are entirely self-inflicted. Too much speed, too little distance, no focus on the road ahead and the rear view mirror.
What I'm thankful to know about genetics and history in 2020
Classical in the sense that this is a tradition of sufficient vintage, backed by a theory of music. There are at least 2 distinct systems of Indian music which are called classical.

1. Carnatic - the south Indian classical music. Traditionally Purandara Dasa is supposed to be the originator, from around the 13th century. This came up in the Vijayanagar empire. But there are older composers like Vyasa Raya whose compositions are still popular.(1)

2. Hindustani - the north Indian classical music, origins attributed to Amir Khusro, around 12-13 century.(2)

There are older musical systems, for example, Sopana system in Kerala. (3)

Moreover, instruments like the Veena (the Indian lute) are much older, as can be attested from Gupta era paintings (6th century A.D.), so it is possible that a lot of the history is now lost. (4)

The ragas are arranged in a combinatorial manner, roughly, out of 12 notes, how many harmonious combinations can be made? (5)

Related: combinatorics was used in prosody, in addition to music: One of the earliest occurrenc of the Pascal's triangle is in Indian prosody. (6)

Be careful with the opportunistic view. Nothing wrong with being optimistic, but if from a fundamental business analysis something doesn't seem to make sense at the moment, then take caution before diving in. Of course this is by no mean to discourage from pursuing it. Mainly just commenting on your wait-and-see-hope-it-will-work framework.

Overall I'd plause for the attempt, and would love to get in touch specifically for the QBO api. That's something I'm contemplating myself.
This specific thing is much more a JetBrains (and their customers) problem than an Apple problem and it looks like they've managed to put together a good solution - do the work and have some assurance it's going to end up in the mainline OpenJDK. They've been selling their tools on macOS for many years, have shipped plenty of custom JDKs before, it's safe to assume they have a decent idea what they're doing.

It’s all about competition — these services have 60-90% margins depending on the capital expenses needed in a region.

The costs of all of the service delivery components drop over time — automation eliminated many of the expensive positions and the costs of switching and other gear has been in free fall for years.

My brother in law lives about 1000 yards from my house, in a suburban town. I’m in the city. My spectrum internet is $70 for 75 down, he pays $32 for 150. Spectrum is not losing money.

The difference? The town has FIOS. Verizon isn’t moving into the city because the margins on future 5G connectivity is much higher than FIOS.
just saying. about singapore. a majority actually like what the ruling party is doing on the whole. the ruling party changes its tune to feedback. often times its just slow.

older voters might remember. issues from 2 elections ago. conditions have changed.

maybe 2 elections ago a hot issue was too many foreign workers. maybe 2 elections later businesses are unhappy about the difficulty of employing foreign workers.

my take is. its not so much a dictatorship, especially after lee kuan yew. but its pragmatic. whatever the majority wants, it will try to give.

not so much a dictatorship. but actually populist???

They'll probably lobby the governments for more laws.

It's a politico-technological arms race. Governments make laws. People don't agree with them so they create technology that subverts the government. The state must then become even more tyrannical just to maintain the same level of power. We'll end up with either an uncontrollable population or a totalitarian government.

In the article, Linus Torvalds is quoted saying:

"I’ve been waiting for an ARM laptop that can run Linux for a long time. The new Air would be almost perfect, except for the OS. And I don’t have the time to tinker with it, or the inclination to fight companies that don’t want to help."

The last sentence is in my opinion a great summary of the current state of Linux on Apple M1 machines. It would probably take months, maybe years before it will be possible for regular user to natively run Linux there. Until then, many enthusiasts would probably spend a lot of time reverse-engineering the hardware, the firmware, etc. while trying to make it work with Linux.

I believe that in the end they will succeed. But all the effort which will lead to it can easily be avoided if Apple provides them a tiny bit of assistance.

TLDR: Any recommendations on the best way to clone one harddrive to another that doesn't take forever?

> Storage I/O gained an asynchronous interface tailored-fit to work with the kind of applications that really needed it at the moment and nothing else.

Say you have 2x 2TB SSD harddrives and one needs to be cloned to the other.

Being the clever hacker I am who grew up using linux I simply tried unmounting the drivers and trying the usually `dd` approach (using macOS). The problem: It took >20hrs for a direct duplication of the disk. The other problem: this was legal evidence from my spouses work on a harddisk provided by police, so I assumed this was the best approach. Ultimately she had to give it in late because of my genius idea which I told her wouldn't take long.

Given a time constraint the next time this happened, we gave up `dd`, and did the old mounted disk copy/paste via Finder approach... which only took only 3hrs to get 1.2TB of files across into the other HD - via usb-c interfaces.

I've been speculating why one was 5x+ faster than the other (besides the fact `dd` doing a bit-by-bit copy of the filesystem). My initial suspicion was options provided `dd`:

> sudo dd if=/dev/rdisk2 of=/dev/rdisk3 bs=1m conv=noerror,sync

I'm not 100% familiar with the options for `dd` but I do remember a time where I changed `bs=1M` to `bs=8M` helped speed up a transfer in the past.

But I didn't do it for the sake of following the instructions on StackOverflow.
Happy Thanksgiving!

Thank you HN community. I was stuck in a rut for months jobhunting, when earlier this month I finally decided to post on "Who wants to be hired." Three hours (!!) later I got an email which ultimately led to a full time position.

It's early days but never too early to be grateful.
This seems reasonable to me. Disappointing thing is refrigerators and HVACs aren't smart enough.

Ideally I'd love to see a refrigerator which has VSCode built in. So I can keep my cool and finish my story when those agile daily standup meetings start getting hot.
Why are humans special? As a species, we kill other living beings for our sustenance. I don’t think empathy is a human universal.

Or is it?

Almost two decades ago, when AI was still conversational fun rather than raging startups on steroids harvesting data, discussions in forums I used to frequent always used to circle around empathy, humans and AI.

Some questions to ask:

1. Would artificial intelligence have empathy?

2. Why did we evolve to cultivate empathy?

3. If AI developed empathy, would they have to possess emotions as well?

4. If AI develops empathy and emotion, how far away from sentience are these artificial beings we have created?

5. And now we will have to look at the ethics of ‘owning’ AI. A being..artificial or otherwise..that is capable of showing empathy and has emotions, is it akin to enslaving them?

And just like that, we can catapult ourselves into P.K.Dick’s world.

Fun times ahead.

I hope it's worth noting here that a increasing variety of formerly vertically integrated storage systems management layers and more capabilities have become available in VM form with per GB licensing models.

IF you touch health care or finance outside of the trading rooms, Hitachi Data Systems (Ventara but I am not seeing the Hitachi name disappear it's too important I think I'm mindshare I know) the most surprisingly good and common installation. HDS wasn't scared to use OSS and build open platforms.

Big edit sorry

I wandered away from concluding with my own little dream to decouple the block implementation from the fs how DAOS does only with a full selection from the commercial file systems available, paying for usable capacity and not raw installed drive specifications. Paying for peritoneal at enterprise mark-up sucks. Meanwhile not too many people seem to be aware that you can run very small budget and scale file systems that were only available in multiples of house prices only a couple of years ago. The latest all flash NetApp filer is 20k and I don't imagine many people who have the knowledge to debate about the issues can't economically justify that even in a home lab. Executive care options can cost less only it's not many acquisitions that can cost you more just owning but with orders of magnitude difference between the costs.
I think logic still holds. There’s an order magnitude more cache in today’s server CPUs. There’s higher likelihood today that your thread or process will remain in the cache, keeping it performant.
Single Point of Failure... is a phrase we'll be hearing and conversing about a lot more in the coming years.

As SaaS, Cloud Providers, and Other Tech companies solidify their necessity for the function of everything else... aka centralization around 4-5 tech companies which their infrastructure literally runs everything else.

It only stands to make us more and more vulnerable as a society.

It's like having one power station powering the entire electrical grid, monumentally stupid.
I'd like something roughly similar, to make the rr reverse debugger support io_uring. That likely can't work like most other syscalls, due to the memory only interface...

I noted that it sounded like an attractive nuisance. I failed to list all the ways in which it was an attractive nuisance and only focused on the part where it's obviously costing a small town money.

Then HN pedantry and argumentation kicked in.

The townspeople clearly see it as an attractive nuisance and not as free publicity. They chose to change the name because it's such a nuisance. Now a bunch of people on HN feel the townspeople were wrong to handle it that way and have a zillion criticisms and solutions.

The townspeople didn't ask HNs permission or opinion. And a lot of the comments here before I noted that it's an attractive nuisance were basically junior high style humor listing all the towns with "bad word" names and giggling about it -- which I initially participated in and then deleted those comments to try to behave in accordance with HN rules and treat the article in a more serious fashion, at which point I made my comment about it being an attractive nuisance.

And that's apparently where I made my wrong turn for the day. And there is no cure for where that took me, it seems.
Ask HN: Why have you turned off JavaScript?
I see so many code articles optimizing for users who have their javascript turned off, if you are one of them, I am curious to know why. Why you made that decision and How is your daily browsing experience?

I have 10 LIFX bulbs. Hardware wise they're really great. I don't mind having to connect them to WiFi. However, the app to control them is, bar none, the biggest piece of shit app I've ever used. I can barely control my lights.

The scheduling is pretty handy though. I have half a dozen outside and they turn on / off with dusk / dawn. In addition to that I have them set to go to bright white and 30-50% at night (just enough to keep security cameras in color mode).
Yeah I think so I was taught to run make -j(number of threads + 1) by taught I mean I saw it in a lot of tutorials during my early years of learning Linux, C and make.
Why is Apple still dead set on having their own special graphics API? Surely it would be better for everyone (even them) if they just adopted Vulkan like literally every other platform?
This is why I am excited about DirectStorage, hoping it can usher a new era of IO APIs. We’ll see.

> "in talent to do the job."

It's a matter of perspective as well though, so both sides are correct. "The job" here can talk about very different engineering roles and levels, which will have a different hiring pool by market and by saturation.

From my own experience running interviews, even in the same "community's" hiring pool in the same location you can expect large differences depending on what position and skill set you're hiring for at that moment.

I find it more worrying that over years I've seen that some engineers are attempting to optimise the interviewing process on their end. Obviously instead interviews should optimise to appeal to candidates and make the process equitable, quick, and accurate, without nonsense like coding challenges that don't relate to the job.

- Apple Online Store

- App Store

- Bug Reporter/Radar

- iCloud Apps e.g. Mail.

Pretty much all of the internal apps will be in Java unless they are using off the shelf software e.g. discussions. In addition you would have all of the companies they acquired and whatever tech stacks they use e.g. Siri.

Or the vacuum that starts up exactly 39 minutes after you fall asleep each night.
In India, my grandparents used to set up a make shift stall every Friday(or a day chosen monthly to honor ancestors) and take cooked food to distribute to anyone who is hungry.

Everyone did this..so every community will always have free food available everyday at temples or outside places of worship.

It doesn’t matter if you are a beggar or a devotee who has come to the temple to offer prayers. It is for anyone who is hungry. To feed the hungry shouldn’t be on the basis of whether they ‘deserve it or not’.

However, the principle was always that ‘I am here with food. Please take what you want.’ The offer is an out stretched hand but the one who wants it must ask. It is not the duty of the giver to offer unsolicited food or drink or help.

I think charity and generosity is different from cultivating and preserving a Saviour Complex.

Meanwhile..here in America, children can’t open a lemonade stand without a permit. Otoh, everyone pays hefty taxes as a form of mandatory charity. So there’s that..
A programmer will still need to write correct code, but in your first example the error happens at the boundary between two modules. In the second example, the error is fully contained within one module.

One of those two is easier to spot, either by the original programmer, or by a code reviewer, or by someone trying to track down a fault.

If all the type system does is make semantic errors easier to spot and fix, it's still offering a lot of value.
