WSL2 is great if you treat like a linux system i.e. don't do goofy things like check out code on NTFS and work on it from Linux.
Just to add a few things.

The HBM confusion comes from Apple Marketing, they have since corrected the phase.

It uses LPDDR4x, fairly standard across the industry.

The LPDDR4 spec allows up to 8 Channel per package ( Although I have not yet seen any manufactures announced such a SKUs ), meaning Apple could scale to 32 GB, or with LPDDR5 using the same setup gives them 64GB while increasing the bandwidth by ~30%+.

From a portable perspective I think 64GB is good enough. Not to mention larger size of RAM being unsuitable for product with battery.

I have no idea how their Desktop part will play out, especially when Memory bandwidth is required for their universal memory.

Yeah, I stand by that as a rough estimate.
Given that Reddit is, at this point, nothing but a thin, MOSTLY-public-friendly landing page, papering over the world's largest porn portal, it's unsurprising that people who value original thought have left and found other places to discuss things of interest. And when THOSE people leave, the people who like to troll THEM have to find other places to do it, too. Slashdot has also suffered from this diaspora.

I manage a rack of 12 servers, I have 110 hard drives in that rack. I've been managing this rack for a decade. I occasionally go to the datacenter to swap out a machine that is end of life, and I go every 3-6 months to swap out a failing drive or two. I'd estimate I spend < 20 hours a year at the datacenter. Everything else is almost 1:1 with what it would take to manage that using AWS.

Obvious anecdata here, but it's not hard to run a redundant physical infrastructure that is low maintenance. Obviously bad luck is a thing, but with the correct planning and setup, physical infrastructure isn't that big of a deal for most web businesses.

I've spent the last few years developing a declarative GUI programming language and implementation called "IVD" (https://github.com/IrisChase/IVD), it's not done yet because life happens. It is based on my experience developing GUIs in the web stack (pre-react days), Qt/GTK+, and Qt's QML, in an attempt to tie together the best of those technologies and rethink the worst.

My experience is primarily in C++ (C++17, C++14, C++11). Also comfortable working with straight C (C89, C90, C99, C11), although less experience with The C Way™. I have working knowledge of Python, and have piddled around in Common Lisp but nothing non-trivial unfortunately.
Okay, this is a serious issue and I want this to be taken seriously by Apple.

What can I, as a reader, do? Is there someone to forward this to? Is there a person in Apple to email? Or are we hoping for a tweet storm to stir the water?

Yes, and buying a server, powering/cooling it, and maintaining it for a three or five year lifetime to be utilized 5% is also expensive.

Lots of choices are expensive, pick the one that’s best for your use case.
These calculations never account for capital overhead of having spares on hand. That cost is part of what you pay for on Amazon. If the hardware breaks on Amazon, you just switch hardware.

If hardware breaks in your datacenter, it's an emergency and you better have spare capacity or extra hardware laying around.
I'm not saying you're wrong, I'm just curious if you can back this statement up with any facts? Maybe some data from the BLS? Or is this your personal sentiment? If so, could it be tied to your local or regional economy for programmers?
Most academic jobs are crap precisely because they are not tenured faculty positions at good universities.

Wow, I haven’t read yet, but I’m very curious if this affects the size limits on the lambdas. I’ve tried to build lambdas for a small Python use case, but by the time I imported pandas and a few other libraries I exceeded the 250 mb limit and migrated to ECS/Fargate, but the startup times were much longer.
> free tool

I'd rather describe this as a mail-in-rebate for the costs of running Windows 10.

We sort of implicitly know there is this need to make the Windows lifestyle more sane, and can rely on tools like these existing.

But the time it takes to research this, track down the best binary for the job (examining the source code is not always easy), makes me conclude that there's a real hidden cost to being a Windows user.
Certainly it's going to depend on your use case.

On my team, we just have a Mac Mini sitting under someone's desk to do stuff that requires a Mac. It gets used for about 1 hour every day for a daily build. For us, AWS's offering doesn't make financial sense.

Even if we were to switch to only doing a weekly build, it wouldn't be worth it, as that would still cost around $1,250/year.

(Knee-jerk reactions do not improve the reputation of your language or of your language community.)

A library interface boundary can enforce behavioral restrictions on its clients equally as strong as a compiler's. Clients not handed pointers cannot abuse them. It does demand correctness of the library implementation similar to demands on the compiler. But such correctness in a library formalism is certainly as possible to establish and maintain as in a compiler.

Use of wild pointers in other parts of the client could overwrite library data, but that is a different risk than the data races that are the topic here.
My Final Letter to Tony Hsieh
This was interesting because Hikaru and Magnus were favorites to win the tournament.
The system I inherited at my current job was built with "scalability" in mind. That meant use of the Firebase databases and splitting everything out into lots of microservices. Ironically this actually caused scaling issues (even with the very small scale we have at the moment) because the lack of query flexibility in the database meant downloading entire collections in order to provide the necessary functionality.

We've since moved (almost) everything over to postgres and merged a lot of the microservice together. And while we're still running on heroku, we could probably run on Raspberry Pi if we needed to.
Ohh, Thanks! I had never heard about ARM's cache being tagged like that. Do you have any recommended reading?

Hi, appreciate the suspicious things you pointed out. I do think there are gaps in the allegation. It could be all absurd. I'd like to find out what are absurd, and what are not. The judge, the lawyers know who this person is since it is a court filing. He is still under penalty of perjury. His credentials are described in first page. Again I'm here to learn what experts think of these connections. They can be weak and point to nothing, and I am happy to hear about it. At least next time my radar will be sharper.

Here's how I understand some of his points, and willing to be corrected:

- and 75 hashed passwords available in TOR nodes => I interpret it as he can find passwords available to login these systems. Is this plausible? Does that show the system could be vulnerable, or not really?

- dominionvotingsystems.com domain was registered on 5/28/2020 => this only show it was registered again, correct? The redirection from dominionvotingsystems.com cease to exists sometime between 2011 and 2020, that's true.

- This Dominion partner domain “dvscorp” => I thought the key is that the same domain is hosted on the same server hence have some relation. But I could be wrong, that all of these are just hosted by the some ISP service, and somehow the ISP would cohost unrelated domain on the same IP or server/VM.

His stated credentials:
I was an electronic intelligence analyst under 305th Military Intelligence with experience
gathering SAM missile system electronic intelligence. I have extensive experience as a white hat hacker used by some of the top election specialists in the world. The methodologies I have employed represent industry standard cyber operation toolkits for digital forensics and OSINT, which are commonly used to certify connections between servers, network nodes and other digital properties and probe to network system vulnerabilities.

If you're building linux from scratch, you're probably not a customer who would consider MacOS or Windows in the first place.
Gelman's (one of the authors behind Stan) Bayesian Data Analysis is considered to be one of the best resources on this subject, so I suggest giving that a read. It's not the easiest book to work through though.
Really? You often see developers saying "we need to go with AWS"?
Always love Patrick's posts. Lambda has built a business on moving people from the cloud to on-prem and reducing the cost of cloud AI infrastructure. As some of the other comments have pointed out, for machine learning applications with GPUs, it almost always makes sense to run your workloads on prem, STH is showing that it can also true for traditional CPU workloads.

For example, we're able to provide GPU instances (https://lambdalabs.com/service/gpu-cloud) that are half the hourly cost of AWS hourly on-demand pricing. How? Because there are huge markups on clouds services.

We've done such extensive benchmarking and TCO analysis and the jury is out: it's simply less expensive to run on-prem. You're just paying for convenience when using a cloud. GPU or otherwise.

Those are included in our colo costs with a second data center where we have a smaller DR cluster.
That's true - I was comparing managing a server rack in the office building against AWS - not comparing the relatively light hardware interaction needs when it comes to co-location.
To limit the scope, and type of applications people should use Lambda for and Lambda is best at running them.

15 mins max runtime simplifies the resource management and avoid abuse. If you have workload for long running jobs, then that should go to something like AWS EKS/Batch/SageMaker.

That being said, things can change, if more and more people requires long running capacity for Lambda (though I am skeptical of that, as Lambda abstracts the underlying hardware away and is supposedly flexible to the requirements)
I have a feeling you could host that site on a PC at home for even less. It looks like their forum gets < 100 posts per day. I can't imagine they're hitting much more than 1 QPS.
I think you probably want Fargate for that.

This announcement is great if you need to package stuff inside your container for use at Lambda runtime.
> And if not, well then maybe there is simply not enough demand, because most people apparently want to be able to have a email client in the browser and do online banking, or edit Wikipedia articles in a rich html editor, or play games, or watch videos and share and comment them or even do video editing, ... all in the browser.

IMO they largely just want to do all these things in an open core VM, without risking installing malware on the ridiculously insecure proprietary OS most of them use if/when they use desktop computers.

VLBI arrays [1] are networks of radio telescopes that combine data from multiple instruments spread out over a continent or the whole planet. A network like this emulates a continent-size or a planet-size radio telescope and produces radioastronomy's highest resolution images.

The most sensitive VLBI array is the European VLBI network [2] which spans the sort of scales you have in mind.

A VLBI array can also incorporate space-based nodes, see e.g. [3].

The introduction of DynamoDB on-demand pricing was a huge price reduction for some workloads with the additional benefit of also reducing the complexity of scaling capacity as well.

I wonder if these can easily run linux AMIs. Since OSX doesn't have native containerization, our CI system for mac builds runs linux on mac minis and runs osx VMs inside of linux since you're allowed to run osx vms on linux if linux is running on mac hardware. So in an ideal world, we'd run our own linux AMI on the baremetal mac instances and run OSX in VMs.

I'm sure it's possible of course, but I wonder how painful it would be to setup. Fighting EFI/secureboot? Some other bootloader?
To add an anecdata - I worked in IT at a medium-ish (10K people) company, and Microsoft, IBM and Oracle sales reps absolutely had a better understanding of the procurement process (and employees involved) than most people at the company. To everyone saying Customer Service can handle sales, there's a large misunderstanding of what enterprise sales involves - making the sale (getting to yes) is just the first step in a long slog to a signed purchase order.

No wind or moisture but constant bombardment by micrometeorites. Sensitive instruments whacked by bullet-like impacts are notably hard to maintain. You could cover all sensitive systems with Whipple shields or something but that's just more mass to loft and assemble.

We know Zest behavior is a bit weird when you pick a tab. In order to build a consistent product across all browser we didn't do any modification (yet). Ideally we should check if "one tab" has been selected and start recording automatically.

For now i recommend you to pick "full screen"
We do our own due diligence checks for each property we list on Proptee. All listings need to have a recent valuation done by an independent valuator and an inventory check.

If the landlord sells 100% of the property on Proptee, then we would manage the property, so it's in our interest not to accept bad properties.

If the landlord sells less than 100% then they will continue managing the property themselves.

Either way, both us and the landlord are aligned with the investors.
FreeBSD is my second OS and has been for over 10 years. Prior to that I was a Slakware adherent. I do dread the update/upgrade process of FreeBSD. Beyond the need to deal with the diff editing, I often need to rebuild/install packages. Maybe I'm doing it all wrong (likely!) but I can't recall the last time I needed to get an update to an application because of any changes to Windows.

But beyond that, I do love FreeBSD
Yes.

But being real, we hear you on this one. I can't comment on API Gateway's roadmap here but this is something both teams is aware of. The reason it is the way it is today is for a valid reason. But this is def something we hear pretty often.
