That's my reading: a defense of the party impartiality of the judiciary more than any attribution to a partisan group.

Of course they could still be biased say, in favor of those with power and capital. But since in practice, both political parties bow to capital with effectively equal deference, such a bias wouldn't surface by merely listing out which president appointed whom.

x86 and the platform around it didn't become a standard, it was _made_ one. The standard platform for PCs is WHQL Testing:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WHQL_Testing

The only way you get a standard like that is if a really big player, in this case Microsoft, steps in and sets the rules and does the work. It's not like backwards compatibility had enough inertia to do this without having someone set the standard.

New era of PC hardware and adoption, maybe. Carmack arguably created that new era of gaming by catalysing the rise of the FPS.
Do you have an example you’re thinking of? I don’t think standard libraries automatically have good architecture (see: PHP), but they do have a big influence on culture, which is interesting.

That's pretty normal for hiring PhDs in my practical experience. My first job was 'senior' and it's the same for everyone else I can think of. You are senior - you've been part of the community for around four years by that point and by graduation you're probably part of several committees and starting to mentor others. Why isn't that 'senior'?
On a personal level, I feel empathy for you and your struggling peers. You should not hate your life that severely, no matter what your line of work is. And it's not right to be lied to by people who should be looking for out for you.

But to be honest - as someone who was born and raised working class and has a perspective colored by that - I can't for the life of me understand why you do this to yourself. Why don't you quit and learn a skill that's actually in demand? Is it just sunk-cost fallacy? Or do you feel that hard work and some degree of intelligence entitles you to a career that's meaningful, respectable, ethical, and well-paid - regardless of it's value and demand as determined by the rest of the world?

It's hard to say, but either your position is more valuable than you're getting paid for - which means you all need to unionize, or it's not actually that valuable and you need to quit. Or maybe it's worth exactly what you're getting paid, because so many others will line up right behind you, and take those terrible odds because they like the environment / self-pride / respectability they get from working in academia.
Sure, Moderna alone has been working on things for 10 years, but not a whole lot of other "Big Pharma" resources seem to have been thrown at it previously. My guess is that will change now.

The situation reminds me of research into serotonin's role in depression. Like mRNA in its field, ideas about serotonin and a little bit of research were bouncing around for a few decades. The drug that was ultimately branded Prozac was developed in the early 70's, but not brought to market until the mid 80's. Then, it's ground breaking efficacy compared to prior drugs & for people not helped by those other drugs acted as a catalyst for research that now forms the foundation for modern treatment of mood disorders-- certainly far from perfect, but also far better than 30-40 years ago.

For example, Prozac's minor role as a norepinephrine reuptake inhibitor sparked significant research into that neurotransmitter as well, leading to yet another generation of new drugs, SNRI's like Cymbalta that which are not only a useful for depression & anxiety, but also for the treatment of certain forms of chronic pain & as an aid for quitting smoking.

It's too early to tell for sure, but I see the potential for the moment in history to be a similarly catalyzing event for mRNA research & subsequent treatments.

(Unless of course the vaccine produces a zombie apocalypse, the relatively small trials by chance not having anyone impacted by that potential "side effect" of zombie-ism, in which case I'll feel pretty silly sitting here a few months from now having to eat my words. And brains, lots of brains.)
funny, that was the main thing I noticed and appreciated about the journalism. why would you not want this made clear in the context of judges doing the very thing we're thinking about when they're appointed (ruling on stuff)?

imho, this is the "rubber hits the road" context. if we want our opinions of appointments to be grounded in... well... reality, then we should maybe care less about appointments when they're abstractly happening and we're horse-betting, and think MORE about them when they're ruling.

Frankly, I'm confused how you're thinking about this, such that you would think someone WOULDN'T appreciate having this inline. Do you think politics are some dirty thing that we should become amnesiac about as soon as someone is executing their duties...? Sorry, I'm just confused. Can you explain the foundational belief underpinning your comment?
I'm thinking about it.

Processing the touches into events should take 1 C64 of power or less.

Scrolling shouldn't significantly more difficult. 1 C64 for this.

The screen is much higher resolution, so we need the power to render that, but that's offloaded to the GPU and the GPU doesn't even need to leave idle frequencies.

60fps, well what was the C64? Whatever, multiply the resources by 10.

We've now accounted for... 20 C64s of power.
I upgraded to my M1 Macbook Air from a 2015 Macbook Air with 8GB of memory, i5 even. I almost never run into memory issues with it - ran the full complement of browser tabs, Microsoft Office, pixelmator, Photos, VPN Client, bit of Jupyter-labs, etc...

I do most of my data engineering in the cloud, or on a 32 GB Linux system - so I don't need a lot of memory for data sets - just something that will run the applications. I would never recommend that the average user buy more than 8GB of memory with a Mac Laptop.

Meanwhile - my 16 GB Linux Laptop (Ubuntu 20.04 Dell XPS 15 7590) routinely comes to a crashing halt if I try and do something crazy like open up 40 Browser Tabs and then start zoom. It's horrible. I've spent hours trying to see what's going on with top to no avail. If only it was a graceful degradation - but open a single browser tab on the wrong site once you are close to the edge- game over. Usually faster to just restart the system than wait for whatever swapping is happening to conclude.

I've rarely had this happen to me on the MacBook Air.

Different operating systems/hardware really seem to make a difference using pretty much the same workload, speaking from personal experience of someone who splits their time 50/50 on Linux and macOS.
There are lies, there are damn lies, and there are benchmarks.

Also, consider how few comments there are in this thread. What does that usually mean on HN?
This is the first I've heard of Ron Conway. I'm certain that we're polar opposites politically.

These links are nothing sauce. All the players send out endorsements to their peeps. Fund raisers to pay off campaign debt is common. Billionaires buying ballot issues is direct democracy in action (aka Freedom Votes™).

Hate the game, not the player. Our campaign financing is payola meets bribery. Fix that. Like maybe public financing of campaigns. Or show these players the ROI is terrible. Or make the case that biz and politics don't mix. Whatever.

The ad hominem crap doesn't help.

Credibility once lost is very hard to rebuild. I won’t fly a 737 Max because I just don’t trust Boeing, or even the FAA, anymore.

Seuss > crowdsourced star trek

I discuss this in my book "Street Coder" for beginner and mid-level programmers, in a section titled "Do Repeat Yourself". Being hardcore about not repeating yourself might create unnecessary dependencies and complicate your code structure. You can even cause irrelevant concerns to depend on each other causing it to become harder to maintain.
All I can say is -- where can I find a copy. Both the Star Trek one, and the Dr. Juice one.
Not only that, but any issue with this plane going forward will immediately cause serious public problems, even if any future incident is completely unrelated to the current issue the FAA is trying to cover up for.

I just realised that you may not get the other side of the scenario.

On a 5xx series response, you bounce. Where does the bounce go? Back to the original sender.

This is the 'closing of the loop'. Original sender sees the message was not sent successfully. They can now retry, resend, make a phone call, whatever.

"Hey Bob, what was your email address again? I got a bounce. Ohhh, damn, I typed bod@ instead of bob@. I'll fix and resend.

That's how it works.

That's how it works for:

- a typo in the email address

- when an account is deleted (and maybe your friend has a new email address)

- the remote mail admin did something horribly, horribly wrong, and it bounced as a result

(Horribly, horribly wrong being -- they told their own mail servers that accounts did not exist, who helpfully passed that info on.)
That's an impressive list of tired clichés. You did, however, forget to complain about the humanities ("Oh, the humanities!").

You did mention "identity based criteria", which is, indeed, a terrible scourge of the modern universities, as compared to the days of yore (i. e. until the 70s or 80s, or, as they are sometimes called, "the first 560 years of the modern university"), where everyone, including women, non-white people, and everyone not born to the richest 5% were famously admitted on exactly the same criteria as real people. But it doesn't count unless you also crack a joke about Judith Butler or Hannah Arendt.

Yep, taking no-strings-attached money from the bad man is no big deal. Taking money from someone is, in fact, a canonical way of punishing that person and diminishing her or his power.
For some reason I worry about proteins made by fallible humans freely roaming the halls of my veins.

In various art groups there are always the people that want to spend 100-200k on an art Degree, or have and now sell coffee.

I try and give the advice that for most artist, you need to treat it as a hobby. Actual income needs to come from elsewhere.

It’s weird that science is becoming the same same thing. Many are better off as hobby scientists.
The whole point of implementing A* on Curiosity was to give it some navigation autonomy. The time delay in getting sensor data back to earth, coming up with a motion plan, then sending the plan back to be executed imposes tight limits on how fast the rover can drive, what kinds of terrain it can cover, and ultimately how much science can be done. Local autonomy for basic "go over to than weird-looking rock" tasks is a major improvement.
It'll be nice when we can finally get rid of copyright when the writers of a property are long dead. Looks like Dr. Seuss and Gene Roddenberry died almost 30 years ago.

It's kind of ironic that Star Trek envisions a post-scarcity society where we can abandon pettiness like this and build on each others works and explore the universe while in the real world the petty owners of the copyright use the power of the state to prevent people from writing their own book using their own labor, creativity, and funds using characters from the 1960s or earlier.

In effect, the copyright owners are saying: "We own the society and its culture. Do not touch."
My guess is that K is faster in some situations because the nature of the language requires programmers to use the most direct solution to a problem, getting all the code and data in the cache. C being a verbose language makes this harder to achieve, unless you spend some time to optimize the memory layout of your data.
> In America it’s illegal to speak of overthrowing the government, or rising up to defend rights by force.

IIUC this is partially true. Advocating for overthrow of government seems banned by 18 U.S. Code § 2385 (https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/18/2385) (Thanks to https://nitter.net/crimeaday for teaching me this https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/91IzF+claGL... — appalling it hasn’t been struck down as unconstitutional).

But OTOH, IIRC people can, have, and have won in court after defending certain rights by force — eg. shooting police officers breaking into their homes without clearly identifying themselves and presenting a warrant. Eg. Kenneth Walker IIUC has not been convicted of any of the charges against him, and though the legal drama drags on, there’s precedent in his favor.

Apple, who sold hardware because they had the best software, now sells software because they have the best hardware.

Funny how things change.
Having the most mini-games or accessible buildings doesn't equal "the best game" though.

CP have way more indoor area than GTA5.

It only have cars and motorcycles you can control yes.

It has strippers and hookers and you can drink lots of places where the drink is served on the table or you can buy it to inventory.

Anyways, if mini-games made the best game neither would be in top 10.
Gaming journalism hits new lows with Cyberpunk 2077
After a decade of practicing something resembling gaming journalism — as much as budgets allowed — I’m one of the last people that need to hear your Twitter rant on how the industry is in the gutter. I know, because I’m still washing off the stench now, one full year removed from that world.
A couple of things. Once you leave, you're not going back. So it's a profound decision with a big unknown on the other side. Your publication output drops to zero. You won't have time to develop your own program. You won't keep up with the literature. (Maybe you're not doing those things already, in which case you should try to jump ship).

Maybe you're an academic spouse, in which case you're probably living in an area that's already crowded with like minded PhDs.

Maybe it's not really all that much better on the outside. Depending on your field of course. Even as a grad student, I noticed that acceptance into grad school doesn't necessarily select for the traits that are needed in a research or R&D leadership role, such as being outgoing, self confident, and competitive.

Disclosure: Physics PhD, graduated early 90's, went straight to industry, never looked back.
I mean, isn't it clear, ever since the bulk creation / funding of so many colleges (and faculty positions) pre + post WW2, the US faculty job market has been on a decline ever since -- (that is, from the average postdoc's point of view of success % when seeking a faculty position).

It is structurally not a growing, dynamic market where you're going to have an easy time. I would call it stagnant, or in the worst case, cutthroat.

You do understand right, that the faculty system relies on a pyramid of people entering and leaving the system? And only a certain fraction getting to the top, and people having to vacate the top of the pyramid for anyone else to get there? (for stable, or in other words, stagnant fields)

When the US was in a college-building phase (funded by economic stimulus / public programs), all these posts were new and empty, waiting to be filled. So it enabled a generation of new professors to fill those ranks. As that became stable, now instead of a fresh pyramid you fill with eager people (who think that's still how easy it is), you have grad students and postdocs seeing who can outlast each other (or publish more) to get to the top through attrition or publishing prowess.

Certain fields, let's say, pure math, or history, until a professor retires or dies, there's just no spot for the people below even to compete for. That's why you see people going to Asia, Middle East, etc. where the new money and universities are. Follow the money. I mean this is pure population pyramid, demographic stuff that you can predict. You almost don't even need to know the student's thesis topic to say what chance he/she has of becoming a professor.

Joining the climb up the ladder in a generally stable pyramid -- it's not going to end well for the bulk majority, or be enjoyable while you do it. Especially if you have visible proof of friend, etc. following much easier paths.

I would be fine with authors retaining rights to such uses for 14 years optionally extensible to another 14. But the current effectively perpetual copyright regime (plus additional trademark rights over characters from copyrighted works) is a gross overreach.

I don't know what you mean by my "chair".

The biggest worry for most professors I talk to in grant-funded fields (which is most of the natural sciences and engineering) is not getting grant funding and having to lay off some or all members of our research group. In Canada, biomedical grant application success rates are around 14% so this is a pretty big worry.

People who are pre-tenure or in organizational units where there is no tenure (which includes a lot of medical researchers) also have to worry about losing their job.

In the U.S., very few professors can get paid their whole 12-month salary without getting some grant funding to pay for it. Some universities will commit 75% of the professor's salary as "hard money"—these are the ones with the bigger teaching loads. Others will provide only 5% of the salary and expect the professor to get the rest through grant funding. If you can't do it, expect to get a pay cut or lose your job. This is the prevailing model at elite medical research institutions like Harvard Medical School, Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, or University of California, San Francisco.
