It’s a shame to see companies putting profits above people’s lives.

AirBnB’s argument, that guest’s should “know the risks of booking during a pandemic” could easily be turned around on AirBnB/hosts, who “should accept the risks of operating during a pandemic”.

It’s a terrible situation for everyone involved, but I think the person trying to do the responsible thing, by adhering to local guidelines, shouldn’t be punished for it.
You could rent a couple of

You also have to unbox each component vs' just the macbook air, am I right?

> Learn linux clustering/diskless nodes.

Honestly, could be as valid with a setup that just involves running a bunch of VMs.

> Low power consumption

Yeah, well, a typical laptop should draw around 50W, which is what, like 0.05$ a day?

> Commercial advantage: Run highly cost and power efficient data centers

Hu, no, in terms of power efficiency per unit of work, you will not beat specialized hardware.

> Infrastructure as code. Full CI/CD with kernel-level control, per node, for any OS. With SDN knowledge, confidently build your own cloud provider.

Sure, also, blockchain, 5G, serverless, microwaves, rust, wasm

>If we for the moment only assume a slight advantage to RISC-V over ARM, then ARM will stay ahead of the game, because it is already entrenched.

Licensing costs and NVIDIA's ARM purchase --hostile company with plenty of lawsuits with current ARM licensees-- will offset the (non-existant beyond Apple and a few Windows netbook experiments) entrenchment ARM has on the desktop.

>People have lots of tooling and software for ARM. You don't switch to a whole new CPU architecture without clear benefit.

There's been a lot of effort put into tooling for RISC-V over the last few years, with more ongoing. The RISC-V foundation member list is not to be ignored. There's strong corporate and government backing behind RISC-V.

The existing licenses won't disappear, but whether new cores and/or new ISA revisions from ARM will get licensees post-NVIDIA purchase is anybody's guess. Mid/Long term, I just don't see ARM stand a chance against RISC-V.
Or be an outlier.

It's not hard to be an outlier, if you set your mind to it. It's a lot easier than playing the game at a sufficient level to be admitted.

I was an outlier, and now I'm raising my kid to be an outlier.

But yeah, there is a culture of corruption spanning the upper tier.
D has the unfortunate issue of being ahead of its time (i.e. using niche programming languages only really became a thing a few years ago), so it's not "cool". It's a shame really, because I see a lot of languages throwing around D features like C++ interop saying theirs is the best when D's C++ interop is both years old now and battle tested every single day.

D also solves a problem you can't really know you have unless you have a deep knowledge of programming. The idea that if you want to write small code vs. fast code rather than both in the same language in very strongly ingrained because we traditionally teach people C++ and/or Python and that's it unless you do advanced courses (to learn something like Haskell which still doesn't help), even though both are fairly crummy programming languages.

If all goes to plan I may be working to help popularise the language soon, so we'll see about all that.

> Still, someone has to provide them. What are they getting in return? Don't say "food, shelter, and education" because in your scenario, they already get those. What are we doing to incentivize these people to provide food, shelter, and education for everyone else?

What are you doing to be provided of a body and the planet?

> I'm not talking about luxury either. I'm asking where the food, shelter, and education for everyone is supposed to come from.

We've come to a technological point in civilization where people shouldn't have to do labor for these basic things. It's part of advancing civilization. We can allow people to dedicate their time to whatever other endevours we could think of instead of demanding repititive intense labor work just for the sake of keeping them busy.

> They are conditional upon satisfactory performance of the duties they were hired to perform.

Conditional to me means if you give me A I'll return B. When I hire someone I don't wait for A (performance) to be given, I provide B (Desk, computer, Office, Electricity...) forfront. The analogy of sending soldiers to war also resonate. We don't send naked bodies to war and is not like they had to work for all the gear either. Where did all these expensive gear came from? which soldier worked so hard to get it? Its not like you know they will win the war beforehand either.

> You want governments to provide better food and shelter for certain people? Who gets the best food? The people in charge, or what?

The best food (luxury), is for those who break through and are able to contribute further to society. You can think of the Silicon Valley crowd as an example.

Overall, if you go back in history, the majority of the people we praise these days, created their master pieces as a result of working in their leisure time. Eistein didn't create all his work because he was in a sweatshop having to punch numbers in a sheet.

Something in common most of these individuals had, was being part of the noble class or having access to that financial network. So, they had all the basics pretty much taken care for. I'm pretty sure if da Vinci had to punch hours in a sweatshop he wouldn't have been able to create half of his work.

If you look throughout the history of civilization, you'd come to the conclusion that keeping people poor is just another way of ostracise a social class for the benefit of the elite few.
this smells of scope creep / feature creep, and management releasing crazy promises that the devs then had to figure out how to add to the game...

in comparison, both the new Xbox and PS5 seem to have taken less time to be conceived, designed, developed, and released.

It's worth nothing that London is a huge mess of random streets. There is no grid pattern here, its still using the medieval street patterns, plus a whole set of one way routes and no stopping areas. That's why this is so complex. Roads are also all named, sometimes confusingly. "One poultry" is a road, not a building, you'll need a number to go with that to get to a building. "Crutched Friars" is a street. "Blackfriars" is a bridge and a station and a road all in slightly different places. There are at least 4 Green Lanes...
It might be good for it to be regulated away, but that's just going to be ... about 100x the effort.
If you want to learn clustering with physical hardware, and you don't have the power and size constraints, you're better off buying some off-lease business desktops. These i3 and i5 systems with 4 to 8GB of RAM can be had for less than $100 each.

When you're done with the cluster, you can likely sell them for nearly what you paid for them.
RISC-V is just an ISA. How exactly can it popularize the already extremely popular idea of shoving a bunch of peripherals onto a SoC?

> RISC-V was designed in a way to accommodate such co-processors, with limited instruction sets that make its CPU design simpler

This only affects the extremely tiny embedded space, only under the most extreme constraints you have the "simpler ISA → simpler CPU core design → more space on the silicon for coprocessors" thing.

For a general purpose high performance SoC, you don't want a simple CPU design, you want a fast CPU design, and you have space for all the coprocessors you want anyway.

Other than "being simple", there's nothing an ISA has to do with coprocessors. There's nothing ISA-specific about having memory-mapped peripherals.

Adding custom instructions directly to the CPU ISA instead? That's not exactly coprocessors, that's more like modifying the main processor, it's annoying (fragmentation) and Apple for some reason was allowed to do it with Arm anyway >_<

> Intel and AMD processors currently don't have these specific units integrated with their CPU

Of course they have GPU, video encode/decode, "secure enclave" (fTPM).

There's even an ISP on some Intel laptop chips:

First, it's only natural that as you get better as a developer, the only questions you need to finally ask StackOverflow are harder questions with a smaller audience.

By the time I'm asking a question on StackOverflow, it's a question I couldn't answer after 20 years of learning to solve my own questions, so it's going to be a hard and niche problem with a tiny pool of people who could answer it. I look back at the first questions I asked on SO when I was a beginner, and I kinda cringe at how elementary it was. "StackOverflow is really going down in quality" would not be the right conclusion.

Second, if you shared the question, the reasons it went unanswered will generally be obvious. Got a link?
ASDF in Lisp does it too. I absolutely hate it and I agree it doesn't make any sense.

I love this comment. I’ve definitely witnessed DDD terminology used as a lofty sounding justification for sexy tech, rather than a genuine attempt to model a complex domain.

I think that software developers too often underinvest in modeling a domain in favor of propping up an imagined silver bullet.

I wonder if there’s an easy way to hire for good behavior?

"...It was so concise & ideal for documentation:"

I reckon you're right, in some ways writing back then was more straightforward and direct. I'm guessing but perhaps that's because one had less exposure to the written word back then so writers were less corrupted by others' style.

I recall schooldays when I had to study some Chaucer, even this prose made sense once you got the gist of how to interpret it. (I'd add the caveat however: some words and phrases defied modern understanding without some form of translation, footnote explanations etc. Same applied to Shakespeare but to a lesser extent.)
There aren't really that many gotchas in D, either.

I may be misremembering, but when I was learning D the only thing the spec was useful for was for metaprogramming, everything else was pretty obvious.
Maybe. But you have a network bottle neck between the 14 separate computers that you have on a single computer. If you have a computational task you split in 56 pieces and run it across the setup, you can utilies the cores fully. However even in that case I think the Mac Mini will outperform this.

You can use it as a USB-hub though as I suppose you get 2 USB-ports pr. raspberry pi.

Greed sure, but it's also control. Apple has always been fanatical about controlling what the user, seller, repair shops, retail, etc can do with their products. Among other reasons, its one of the top reasons I'll never use Apple computers. I want complete control of my devices, and the ability to break my machines while pushing boundaries. Apple would rather have me locked in to their 30% fee App Store cash cow with apps that require their approval to exist.
How long are you talking? I can't think of a process I've ever worked on that took more than a few seconds to start. As you say, if you have any sort of rolling deployment mechanism the start time of your application is somewhat irrelevant. Unless your application takes a massive time to start, it seems like the wrong thing to optimise for. Surely you only deploy things a few times a day, if that, and hopefully most deployments don't require rollbacks.

Also, with the current network speeds and memory availability, it's hard to imagine the war size to be a bottleneck in web development.

Depending on other services via a well defined network interface is good for decoupling teams. So it depends on the number of employees you have coding for the same platform, rather than on clients or anything like that.

> Nobody wanted the x86 ISA unless they needed it in systems which ran legacy applications.

It wasn't fast/efficient enough. If it had been faster or with better power consumption it would've been fine. There was a massive push to get Android studio to automatically compile X86 binaries for you etc.

But why would you put an Atom in your phone if it means it's slower and worse battery life? That's the reason it flopped. ISA change is a hindrance for switching, but it can be overcome. Even if Intel had sold Atom chips with ARM ISA and identical performance to the X86 variant it would have still flopped due to the poor performance and efficiency.
According to Drew Houston, Steve Jobs offered to acquire Dropbox and when refused said he'd compete with them. iCloud is right about there at this point, I know people who turned off Dropbox and just use iCloud (or the Google offering).
> What does “put it in pastry” mean in this context?

Completely enclose it in pastry dough. Especially since it's a pheasant pie, having a pastry layer above the filling is pretty standard to this day for savoury pies (just check… most every meat pie, or a pot pie if you're from the US).
Advertising is a cancer on modern society.

And people really need to stop expecting that paid products won't show ads. From the POV of the provider, not showing ads would mean leaving money on the table (you likely won't quit paying over just an ad here or there). On top of that, as a paid customer, you self-identify as a real person with disposable income, making yourself much more valuable a target for advertisers.
Sounds a lot like mindfulness mediation.
Many high value commercial applications of ultra high resolution SAR only involve small areas of land and irregular periods

Ultimately satellite providers don't have any more obligation to subsidise access to their services to people wishing to verify for themselves that the product doesn't contradict the laws of physics than 5G providers or microchip providers.

You absolutely could. But you wouldn't learn how to build a system that recovers from yanking a power or network cable, wouldn't own it, and wouldn't be able to run it on your terms. You'd need a credit card with an American-run payments network to operate, with a declared identity and a bank account, for which a prerequisite is a few months of stable living and income in a particular jurisdiction, itself something large portions of the world do not have access to. Further you'd need to be happy with the fact none of your data was in your country, under your physical control, and never would be. But feel free to ignore the rest of the world and the fact that all this rental crap runs on open source software, just throw in the towel and be a rent-payer: a strategy that has its perks and efficiencies, for sure. But don't discourage those who seek to learn more.

The expected version you'd be running on enterprise desktops is just the regular semi-annual release, delayed by a few months so the SMB sector can test the major bugs for you.

I think you're actually making OP's point: free laborers were capable of doing the same work that unfree laborers had been forced to do.

This isn't my field, but I have read a few papers about the question of how profitable slavery was. Most of the debate seems to be over how profitable it was to the plantation owners, and whether they personally would have made larger profits by investing their money elsewhere (e.g., by hiring wage laborers to work their plantations, or by investing in manufacturing).

The question of slavery's impact on the development of the economy as a whole is completely different from that. Given how backwards the South remained, while the half of the country that abolished slavery surged ahead economically, it's difficult to see how one could argue that slavery caused the US' economic development.

Alexis de Tocqueville wrote about this in Democracy in America. It's well worth reading, to see a contemporary Frenchman's impressions of the stark difference in economic development between the Southern slave and Northern free societies: https://www.tota.world/article/1860/

I run Arch on a Surface Pro 7, (ironic, I know), which has a HiDPI display and the experience is good for me under GNOME, even fractional scaling is supported.

One thing to keep in mind is that Windows/Mac/Linux do render fonts differently - they may not look identical to macOS out of the box, but there's a lot of configuration options (if you want to play with them) to get them to look the way you want.
Aren't the new Xbox and PS5 basically PCs? So they mainly selected components and designed a case? Does not seem like a comparable system.
> That isn’t really accurate. There is much more diversity in individual states depending on where you are than in most European countries.

You ever been in Spain, Italy, Germany or France?

This is simply not true, in Spain they have so many different languages, in the others they have incredibly dialects that seem like entirely different languages and can be only as short as 25km away from one another--something like Badish vs schwabish vs Alemansich vs Hoch Deutsch.

You have to live in places like Hawaii (which I did) before you get anything close to the stark differences I'm talking about, where they have an entirely different set of culture and language (Hawaiian pidgin) to see what is so pervasive all throughout Southern and Central Europe.
I reckon some of those recipes are quite excellent (by my standards at any rate). If I were one of the upper classes back then I'd certainly not be complaining about the lack of variety.

This is true but some of the technology needs to be done only once - the same way you only need to make a firmware once and sell thousands of devices. So a farmer today by him- or herself alone, does feed a lot more people than two centuries ago.
