Seeing how many billions have been posted into JIT runtimes such as CLR/JVM/V8. I'm questioning whether or not it is realistic to create a production ready JIT as a side project?
I have family that lives in the area where the Foxconn plant was set up. The rumor, which I'm sure will never be publicly substantiated, was that there have been businesses that decided to steer clear of or pull out of Wisconsin over concerns about the economic blowback from state policies including (but not limited to) the Foxconn boondoggle. Including some that offered higher quality (if not as news-worthy, since they didn't count as "tech") jobs than the ones Foxconn would have created under even the rosiest of projections.
Show HN: Wasmite – Create production-ready web assembly modules
The CM4 was only announced in November and the form factor completely changed compared to all the previous generations. I think the design improvements are positive, but it was a shock for those who have designed around the <=CM3+ with long-term plans in mind.
Although there are many complicating factors--including financial ones and the fact that most normal gap year or year abroad activities aren't available--I'm actually a bit surprised at the number of students who weren't graduating seniors who seem to have decided to power through with remote or otherwise very restricted college options.
This perfectly describes me as well, although I don't use substances much at all. I have learned to embrace it as well as I can. I accept that my productivity is much lower in the morning and attempt to get the most done after lunch and dinner.
PoW doesn't need inflation to end.

Recent trends? Apple has been periodically screwing developers since always. Ultimately Apple just sees developers as a necessary evil to sell their products, but making life easy for them is not a priority.

Would it be possible in the future to build such a telescope in an impact crater like Meteor Crater, Arizona (1)?
Or is the shape or geology of an impact crater unsuitable for such an instrument?

Back in the early days of openwrt that's basically what it was, if you went #freenode and asked questions about why your toolchain wouldn't cross compile correctly sometimes Erik Andersen would show up and ask about your env, distro, setup, etc.
So no on-demand instances? I could see this being useful for CI/builds/testing but not if I have to buy 24 hours at a time.
Yes, and the production launch of that new consensus mechanism is what happened today on Ethereum. It runs on a minimum of 16K nodes, and last I checked had about 60% more than that.
Vietnam: Facebook and Google 'Complicit' in Censorship
My son is applying to universities now. Last spring he was taking 5 AP courses out of 8 required classes. The statewide decision to go to pass/fail cost him hugely in his weighted GPA, as he would have aced all 5 classes. Given that he attends a high school that is average at best, it really could have made a difference for him.

Fortunately, he navigated the mess that was AP testing last spring and his test scores prove that he knew the material but as a parent who watched my kid work so hard, even through the remote learning portion, it was quite stressful for both of us.

Now we wait to hear from the initial wave of applications. The system, as it stands, sucks but it is the system we have. Perhaps the great experiment starting with the class of 2021 may drive changes to make it better.
This makes me profoundly sad; such an iconic structure built for the betterment of all of us, allowed to decay, rot, and collapse.

Even if it was past it's point of utility the structure itself was a modern icon of design.

To be hyperbolic about such things, it feels like another milestone in the path to endarkenment

> We aren’t obligated to abstractly uphold democracy in the face of a majority holding Nazi symbols.

What if those people holding Nazi symbols want human-rights respecting outcomes that are very different from the ideology of the German Nazi party? If democracy is not just abstract and symbolic, you shouldn't dismiss a political party as undemocratic just because they use the wrong symbols, but look at the specific actions they take (the same holds for parties using the "right" symbols and paying lip service to democracy while trying to subvert it).

For example, the Indian state of Kerala is currently ruled by a government led by the Communist Party of India (Marxist), not in a one-party dictatorship, but as a coalition government of several parties. They have transitioned peacefully from government to opposition and back again multiple times over the decades. And yes, their party flag is red with a big hammer-and-sickle emblem. Does that last detail make them undemocratic?
A strike and a protest is not the same. You can be on strike without taking parts in any protests. Strike is about work stoppage.
In about the 6th grade, I randomly selected Ben Bova's book "Escape" from the shelf and started reading it without any real expectations.

I think it was unplanned, but not unexpected.

In any case, what's done, is done.

As Clay would say "Ain't no puttin' the candy back in that piñata."
Everyone is talking about shifting time around by doing things like getting up earlier, but that doesn't get around a fundamental problem of not enjoying the working part of your day. You still have the same amount of time, just shifted to a different end, and maybe you're a bit better off that way, but it's still the minority of the day.

The real solution is to figure out how to love a larger percentage of your day. A lot of this has to do with cultivating the right attitude and not getting exploited by others. At work, don't allow your employer to work you to the bone; work at a steady and enjoyable pace, take lots of breaks to socialize with colleagues, get coffee, go for walks, eat a long lunch in the park, etc.

I get that some of you have draconian bosses and this won't work, but there are many on here that it will work for that aren't taking advantage of it. I also bet you might find that you start doing better work, because you feel better and have more creative energy and mental stamina. Now, you have to figure out how to enjoy other parts of your day too. What about that crappy commute, can you move closer and bike or walk in?

I've lived the majority of my life (mid 30s now) waiting for "my time". I remember growing up I just loved to lay in bed at night and think. This was well before smartphones, I'd literally just lay there and think for hours, because that was the most "my time" of the whole day and I loved it. But as I've gotten older I've realized the entire day is my time and it's my responsibility to make it as enjoyable as I can.

I'm not ready for it to be morning yet. That's what I would think during my early days of graduate school, when I would spend over 12 hours a day on campus, juggling courses, course work, my first foray into research, as well as teaching assistant responsibilities. At night, I would often just listen to music and do some light internet browsing for an hour or two, despite being tired.
> That's kind of a big deal, though, right?

Anecdata: I don't use wifi on my work computer. Ethernet is faster and more reliable, and since my desk/monitors/mouse/keyboard stay in the same place it's easy to drag another wire over there too.
They're mostly talking about the initial launch detection which is indeed IR based because it's going to be nearly impossible to hide the signature of a rocket launch of any useful size. After that flight tracking is a lot of different sources like radar.
And in about 3 months he will switch back. At this point you can just install ChromeOS from Neverware and have better experience. You can install third party apps with flatpaks.

After failing to get XFCE to run without terrible tearing on my Ryzen 3400G, I recently installed KDE for the first time since the early KDE 4 days. And I have to say I was really really impressed. It is all around much faster and better these days. In fact it might just become my new favorite desktop
That’s not true. You can run macOS with a custom-built kernel and it should work fine, although it won’t be exactly the same as the stock one (the released source is missing some bits).
I'm not surprised the latency on the M1 is better than Epyc, but it's near half of any other consumer part, like say the AMD Rzyen 5950x. When accessed in a TLB friendly way (not TLB thrashing) the M1 manages 30ns which is excellent.

Even more impressively is that the random cacheline throughput is also excellent. So if all 8 cores have a cache miss the M1 memory system is very good at keeping multiple pending requests in flight to achieve surprisingly good throughput. Granted this isn't pure latency, so I call it throughput. Getting a random cacheline per 12ns is quite good, especially for a cheap low power system. Normally getting more than 2 memory channels on a desktop requires something exotic like an AMD threadripper.
Some of Paul's essays are _long_, so this is welcome. Is there a way to get this on Google Podcasts?

What strikes me about this story is how organically they grew their business, using the proceeds from fulfilling relatively prosaic market needs (first ice, then ice-skating rink, etc.) to fund the development of adjacent competencies. The lengthy time to market acted as a positive change agent, working hand in glove with the minute attention to detail refining the product to market fit, building a moat of competency before debuting. Instead of cutting 90 minutes to 60 with a machine that only scraped down the surface, the prototype solved the customers' problem in a very comprehensive manner.

I love seeing these kinds of organic growth business stories as they illustrate grit/perseverance, though that kind of business development is terribly out of fashion in the business press these days.

>But because technology dangled the carrot of "we can save lives by doing everything virtually with computers" we are charging down that path optimizing for lives saved without giving fair consideration to other side effects of that (loneliness, depression, suicide, homelessness, civil unrest, economy).

This is a false dichotomy. Look at the countries that acted quickly and had cooperation from everyone - they have many fewer deaths, and the impact of the pandemic has been much, much less.

We are only in this position we are in because people did not want to cooperate from the start. This attempt to blame the side effects on people advocating for masks is not an accurate depiction of reality. If people had done the right thing from the beginning, we wouldn't be in the predicament.

May be move to immutable configs using nix? That way provision a latest version and migrate your config and store data separately?
Wonderfully in-depth. There is much more going into that than I assumed. The bit about the possibility of hiding implant chips in between PCB layers is also interesting.

> Macstadium competes against other short-term rental companies but also against real Macs, Hackintoshes on physical machines, Hackintoshes on virtual machines (inc EC2), and non-consumption.

MacStadium isn't doing short-term rentals not because it can't but because the EULA doesn't allow it. Anybody doing short-term rentals is doing it on Mac hardware so they can just as easily sell long-term rentals. Aside from MacStadium being a major player in this field, I see absolutely nothing that favors them compared to their competition. In fact, it seems to have created Amazon as a competitor.

And the Hackintosh thing is the reason a Mac hosting companies exist in the first place. If Hackintoshes were allowed, there would be no companies offering Mac hosted hardware. I don't see how that's related to this particular situation tho. Apple created the need for Mac hosted hardware so blaming Mac hardware hosting companies for this is a bit backward.

> Hacks on VMs are a pretty direct competitor I’d think.

The VMs have to run on Mac hardware as well.

> Windows is still a nightmare, setting up macOS took me 3 days the last time, Linux takes way more if you’re building it from scratch. Setting up FreeBSD took me 3 days, however this meant that I will NOT need to change it again for a very, very, VERY long time.

What exactly is involved with "Setting up macOS" to take you 3 days?

I just pulled out my old 2015 15-inch MacBook Pro, reformatted the machine and installed Big Sur on it and got it in exact condition needed to continue my work that is on my main driver.... Took me 2 hours tops.

I keep all documents in iCloud Documents, so they sync to all my machines, and I install everything through Homebrew, so once I pull that in, I run `brew bundle install` and let it do it's thing...

Roadster | Backend & Fullstack Engineers | Palo Alto, San Francisco, or remote

Roadster is modernizing the process of buying a car. Our customers are car dealers who had to close their showrooms and move their business online when the pandemic hit. Now we have thousands of customers who are selling online using Roadster: we host the consumer website, list vehicle details, quote up-front prices, gather your credit, and our dealers deliver new or used cars to your home. As the showrooms reopen, we are running on iPads and kiosks and bring the same modern experience into the store. Buyers save hours and dealers sell more cars with fewer sales agents.

Roadster is looking for full-stack, backend and devops software engineers to join our team of 12 developers in a 120+ person company. We focus obsessively on both the consumer experience as well as building the most complete and accurate content and workflow for automotive transactions. If you love to ship product with a small friendly team, own features, and contribute to a successful growing business, we'd like to talk.

Our stack is built on Rails, VueJS, Elastic, Postgres and Redis. You have a CS degree and 2+ years of experience shipping quality web apps.

See https://roadster.com/about and email us at ellen.stevens@roadster.com to apply.
> So I'd love an ecosystem where things tend to be statically linked unless there is a good reason not to.

Me too, but I'm not sure this project brings us closer to that goal.

I don't need the base OS to be statically linked—in fact, that's where static vs dynamic linking matters least, because it all comes preinstalled. What I want is for everything else which I may want to install on top to be available as statically-linked binaries.
Not totally related to the video, but a fun fact about Seymour Papert is that he was an anti-apartheid activist and a socialist organizer during his time in London in the 1950s, which I think gives some background context to his thinking about education and technology.
