An interesting thing here is SpaceX are building TWO launchpads. Which will definitely help prevent delays if an when there is an AMOS-6 [1] or Orb-3 [2] type explosion that destroys the launchpad.

It may also help for rapidly testing orbital refueling in 2022, though the plan is to do orbital refueling with 1 launch pad, 1 Super Heavy and 2 Starships (1 standard, 1 refueler) with 1 hour turnaround times between launches (and 5-6 launches) before Starship is ready to depart for the journey to Mars.

Yes, ingesting plutonium can cause serious problems. I’m surprised that the Indian Government hasn’t commissioned an exhaustive, multi year search for this device. Maybe the snow is too deep? But I can’t see why one couldn’t carefully skewer into the snow, tessellate the whole mountain with such probes and see if it picks up any radioactivity.
I tried Stadia and it worked fine, but I own games on steam and given the size of the Google graveyard there’s no way in hell I’m going to “buy” a game on a service that will get shitcanned in a month. 1080p isn’t great, but I’m not a huge gamer and $5 is a steal.
The best time to plant a tree is 10 years ago. The second best is now.
I expect anyone distributing their app via Docker to learn how to use their tooling properly, yes?
Only if the Indian government allows it.

In any case, how would that solve anything?

Can you think of a single example where acquiring a problematic company solved its problems?

I think you meant i9

M1 wins in single core benchmarks, but it loses in multi core.

Also, it beats 9th generation i9 for mobile, not the newer ones (that are still 14nm Vs the 5nm of the M1)

I'm not an Intel fan and I think it lost edge over the years, but M1 doesn't beat the i9 in pure performances, only in controlled benchmarks where the conditions are favourable to M1

Of course the M1 on Apple laptops are faster than every other Apple laptop, but that's only natural.

Your refusal to take a moment to think why Apple’s marketing team did this is very funny. Do you think they just throw a dart into a spinning board when making decisions like this? There’s a difference between “dumbing” things down and effectively conveying your messages. Suggesting that they include an actual die shot in their ads for general consumers is one of the most HN-esque comments I read this month.

The best time to plant a tree was 20 years ago. The second best time is now. - Chinese Proverb
> It does not process Class A/B notation, or hex or octal notation.

I got to find that notation useful once, to make a shorter one-liner... without even knowing that there were different classes of IPv4 address, and that I was looking at one of them.

It's a tiny function that gives me the IP address of my machine in the LAN, for either Linux and Mac:

# Get main local IP address from the default external route (Internet gateway)
iplan() {
# Note: "1" is shorthand for "1.0.0.0"
case "$OSTYPE" in
linux*) ip -4 -oneline route get 1 | grep -Po 'src \K([\d.]+)' ;;
darwin*) ipconfig getifaddr "$(route -n get 1 | sed -n 's/.*interface: //p')" ;;
esac
}

(sorry to people reading on small screens)

Full disclosure, I got the "1 is shorthand for 1.0.0.0" from here (which didn't get into explaining why it is a shorthand): https://stackoverflow.com/a/25851186
But I don't need crypto to read text and watch pictured posted by anonymous users, so, the crypto point is just moot.

You're also missing the context. Why does it matter if someone's browser has exploitable bugs if the only sites they visit are those that are not likely to use such exploits?

So, such planned device obsolescence is conditional on two explicit actions on site owner's side, (1), prohibiting http traffic, (2), prohibiting TLSv1.0 traffic. So, it's 100% site owner's actions that cause the device to become obsolete and make your own site inaccessible. The manufacturer has zero control over the actions of the individual site owners. On the other end of the spectrum, Google, Microsoft, Bing, Amazon, Mozilla, plenty of other businesses, don't intentionally go out of their way to disable both of those things, so, their sites still work -- including through HTTP in case of the search engines. Which manifests as a definitive proof that it's the fault of those other specific sites (like Wikipedia) that take explicit actions to make the older devices obsolete.

P.S. Incidentally, this also proves the point about capitalism -- as a result of misleading propaganda campaigns promoting HTTPS everywhere, most smaller sites are automatically and inadvertently acting as precursors for planned device obsolescence, whereas the big players that need to make the last cent out of every person in the world regardless of how old their device is, or what actions their provider takes against the encrypted traffic, are fully capable of getting exceptions to the PCI compliance or whatnot, and continuing to serve their sites through TLSv1.0 as well as plain old HTTP.
Many people would say that if you do it all over it would end up exactly the same.
10 half lives means it will have reduced radioactivity to

(1/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/2/1)*100 % of original or .19% of its original radioactivity. Also keep in mind radioactive decay is not even. The faster, thus more dangerous, particles inherently decay faster and will be even more degraded, I'm not going to do the math on it, but, probably another order of magnitude or three.
$5/mo is as close to free as you can get and if I ever decide to get a gaming PC in the future I don’t have to buy Cyberpunk again. If stadia could play games I own independently I’d be all for it, but why risk investing in something that will almost certainly get shut down, if only because I’m far from the only person making this calculation.
I agree, partially, I'm adamant about the fact that it's even more important to talk about successes, than failures.

"Vicarious learning from the experiences of others saves making errors yourself, but I regard the study of successes as being basically more important than the studyof failures. As I will several times say, there are so many ways of being wrong and so few of being right, studying successes is more efficient, and furthermore when your turn comes you will know how to succeed rather than how to fail!"

Whilst I certainly have huge respect for HuK, I feel that either his use of the categories in the article as perhaps a bit simplistic. Many of the points he mentions are really intertwined - most importantly balance vs variety: it's very hard to score highly on both.

SC2 has 3 very distinct races (he gives it a 8.8 for variety), hence there are just 6 possible matchups. AoE 2 (DE) has 35 (he gives it a 3), making over 600 possible 1v1 matchups. This creates a huge amount of extra work to ensure matchups are enjoyable - yet (at 1650+ Elo) there are just 2 races with > 55% winrate (Franks @ 56.98% & Celts @ 54.21% on random map). Despite the good balancing, tournaments also come up with rules to limit the impact of the best civs, normally with specific civ bans and limited picks in a series. It's really only because of the huge overlapping tech & unit tree that this is possible - if there were more diversity there would be too many variables to balance around. This is further compounded by the variety of maps which the game is played on - as he does mention the map does affect which of these are viable, and this makes the game even more interesting and diverse since you need to adjust to multiple types of map. SC2 on the other hand has a much smaller responsibility in this regard: provided there are interesting viable builds within each race the task to balance across-races is minimal. SC2 also only has 7 maps in the pool (at least, right now) and just spawn positions are randomized. This makes preparation way more important, and less dynamic.

Both AoE and SC2 also use the space as a stop-gap for specific strategies - it's a way for the less aggressive player to fend off early aggression, but also a way for a more dominant player to choke out resources. Traditionally this is done by controlling the entry to your main base or your expansion (in SC2), but in AoE it's way more open and difficult to accomplish this most of the time. This importantly makes players rely on very adhoc dynamic walling, often incorporating undestroyable natural resources (like gold deposits).
That doesn’t match my mental model of how that works. Can you give me an example of a shared 3rd party framework that a Mac app bundle will find on the file system rather than just include in the bundle?

The site has extensive solar power, I'm not aware of environmental concerns for solar-powered desalination.

> which is true for Intel macs

But not true for Intel in general, because Intel still ships low-end Core processes branded as "Pentium" and "Celeron" such as the Intel® Pentium® Gold G6600 which have AVX disabled.

It only holds true for Intel macs because Apple have never used these processors in their products.
I do think "curse" is a valid technical term, but to me a cursed IP address (or number, or edge case, etc.) is one that behaves significantly differently from other addresses for no self-evident reason. None of these examples are cursed, but 127.0.0.1 is definitely cursed.
>Heres the thing: It's not about efficiency, it's about convenience.

>Hydrogen isn't aiming to be as efficient as batteries. It's assuming to be as convenient as gasoline, but with little environmental impact.

Energy conversion efficiency is pretty important for that "little environmental impact" part.
And yet Intel (and at various times AMD) has been extremely profitable, and not hesitant to spend billions on R&D. If you have a performance advantage you've moved out of the commodity space. I've no doubt Apple could sell billions of M1 chips if it wanted, with considerable profit (huge margins even after design costs), but it won't because it can use them to differentiate (and not just to sell overpriced RAM). (And because for decades Apple has suffered from press about its chips being slower than competitors'.)

There is no processor feature of a modern CPU that doesn't give advantage to all the operating systems that use it. VT-x virtualisation, AVX, AES-NI, ARM Neon: all are used by MacOS, Linux and Windows.

TEEs (SGX+MEE/TrustZone/SEV, Google Titan, Apple T2) serve similar purposes and have similar flaws (like permanent exploits) and trade-offs (same CPU -> side channels, uarch complexity problems, different CPU -> cost; separate chip -> heterogeneity, cost). It seems like the Titan/T2 approach leads to higher security, but I'm not sure that is settled yet. A new arch like RISC-V could do better (though it doesn't look like RISC-V will do that). I would love to see hardware support for micro/nano kernels, but that seems as far away as ever.

Obviously it is good to have a guaranteed client for your chips, but I can't see it stopping Intel if shoestring outfits can build something like RISC-V.
I think I would like to argue, that these processes have a significant tendency to create more harm than good. Since this is just one of many (e.g. the Drupal Conan Stuff) examples. Especially in combination with our current cancel culture, where an accusation is enough to get some fired from their job.
Sorry, was looking at the marketing image. The enclave would be quite tiny though. Id say most of the undocumented part is custom glue logic which isn’t particularly identifiable.

I much rather keep hearing from brilliant, irreverent, even disagreable people, even if I risk a little offense now and then, then live a world pre-sanitized by these humorless, self righteous, sterile nullities.
Amazon is making the Graviton series of ARM processors.

Right, Boston wasn’t great for it but not so discouraging that I gave up.
Fetching files one by one on demand could be slow.

OTOH git natively supports sparse commits.
You isolate the stages which require secrets from the stages that run untrusted code. One step has access to your SSH private key and runs git clone. The next step runs the actual build without access to any secrets. A third step has access to the secret key required to publish the result.

It's certainly more complicated to set up than a simple "the CI system invokes a single shell script that does everything" build, but it's not actually that complicated and every CI system I've used has supported doing this.
Regardless of the patent issue, emulating AVX on the M1 (which only has 4-wide SIMD) would actually be significantly slower than forcing the x86 application to use it's SSE fallback path and emulating that.
why doesn't rosetta support avx? arm has neon and sve... i would assume that there's equivalence for most basic vector math instructions and for those that there isn't, like the weird sha256 and aes instructions, they could just be emulated in software?
Apple makes more money on store sales than device sales... I'm certain that investors and the board would not appreciate losing that.

Many thanks, this does work. I do see a momentary flash of pinterest results, but they quickly disappear (and subsequent matches are re-tiled up). Good enough!
I've found that they are overworked in those cases, but they do the best they can and most people are polite. Though it helps that the last time this happened to me I had a family emergency just before I got on the aborted flight and so they were able to make me happy by getting me on a different airline to a completely different city. small joys like that are all they can ask for.
Everything is a balance

You don't want to rabbit-hole either and avoid getting any feedback or asking any help because you're too busy "deep working".

Typically from my experience the ones that crave deep working above everything else have the highest egos and are too afraid to have their ego broken by getting any feedback from customers or other developers so they hideout "deep working" for days developing features nobody wants.
"I would be really interested in playing an RTS that focused much less heavily on variety of combat, and much more heavily on variety of logistics."

You've basically just described Factorio, which is all about logistics.

I strongly encourage you to give it a try, not only because of this, but because it is one of the greatest games ever made -- especially when played with mods, which make it 100 times better than the vanilla game (which by itself is fantastic).

You have sooo many options on what to do and how to do it in Factorio, it puts most other games to shame just by that alone.

I could go on about how great Factorio is.. for hours.. but I won't because there are plenty of other Factorio threads on HN that do just that.. so don't take my word for it, but read some of those threads instead.. or just do yourself a favor and play it already! If you're interested in logistics I don't see how you couldn't love Factorio.

I don't think somebody would repeat the problem just because there's a field in a form. It's way more likely that he reproduced the problem again and again before determining that the LF was causing the fire.

I was excited to read the first part - an analysis of why RTS games have become less popular - and a bit discouraged when the author didn’t follow up on that theme more, and instead reviewed a bunch of past RTS’s.

I do completely agree with the analysis, though. RTS games are hard for a “casual” player to get into. It’s hard to even follow a game on Twitch, because the camera is frequently jumping around while a player handles logistics, and when someone is doing multiple actions per second it’s hard to observe them. The difficulty of casual play also makes it difficult for streamers to chat with the audience while playing.

It’s interesting to compare to MOBA games like League of Legends. They are very similar mechanically in terms of unit control, but you have much less context switching because you are only controlling a single character. So it’s easier to follow a stream or to play.

I think there’s room for a middle ground, a game that has more complex strategies like RTS’s do, but with casual play like a moba. We’ll see...
Much of my life hasn't played out how I expected. I had dreams like many people in high school and none of them came true. Instead of finishing college I joined the military after the stock market collapse in 2008/9. Impressions were left on me throughout my early life that I only came to know as an adult. My family got sick, I ruined the relationship that I'd worked for, and at times I alienated people close to me out of my own sense of self-defense. I pushed myself to the brink repeatedly. My twenties were filled with stress, frustration, confusion, and at times anger. These things taught me acceptance and forgiveness of both myself and others. Looking back, I would not trade them for an easier or more prestigious life.

When I came back from Afghanistan I had to scratch, claw, and climb a ladder without a degree thanks in much part to people who saw in me what I could only hoped to have seen in myself. I looked around me when I arrived and I saw Ivy League and top school graduates with multi-million dollar homes, Teslas, and their own literal fig trees in their back yards that complained about everything in life. I've now had the opportunity to live in multiple cultures with varying degrees of prosperity. These things taught me to know my value but to have perspective on what I'm really asking for.

Here I am considering selling all my belongings, buying a truck and an RV to go embrace the new open road that is remote work. Life isn't about looking back. It isn't even about getting what you want. It's about navigating the road in front of you and making the best of the opportunities in front of you and for everyone around you. All that to say, I've embraced the idea that whatever lies ahead is where I'm supposed to be and I needn't look at what my neighbors value or what they have because I don't care. This life is mine to live.

I've worked with APIs (mainly based on ElasticSearch backends) that implement something like this pattern. There, the "cursor" is called a "ScrollId."

Here's what that looks like in ES: https://www.elastic.co/guide/en/elasticsearch/client/java-re...

The APIs I generally work will abstract away most of the scroll context configuration stuff, and just return a page of results, plus the ScrollId for the next page.
