That's not longer true.

Yes, WSL2 is type-1 hypervisor (which means Linux under WSL2 and windows are both VMs of sort, managed by higher level invisible "main" OS) and initially this made running VMs inside windows impossible (since technically that would be VM inside VM). But this has been fixed for months now - originally not only it was not possible to run virtualbox (or vmware, ESXi is vmware type-1 btw, dont mistake it with free vbox) but also it was not possible to run docker either.

Edit: btw. this is why it took so long for WSL2 to be released to public; they gave time to most of the VM solutions to adapt to the fact windows would be running under type-1 hypervisor.
Have you seen the F-35 in VTOL mode? [1] All those covers open and nozzles stick out so the thing can exert thrust downward. It's amazing that it works. It's not surprising how expensive it was to make it work.

The Harrier was kind of elegant, just some pivoting nozzles.

That's my worry. I seem to be in the minority here, who thinks that if I am not being suspected of a crime, I should not have to provide any information to the government about a company that I own. To me, this is another example of freedom lost in the name of crime/terrorism/protect-the-children/whatever justifications.
An unmanned combat aerial vehicle would probably win in a dogfight, but that's irrelevant given the anti-access/area denial strategy evolving in e.g. Crimea and the South China Sea.

Portugal has tried since then to enhance its fiscal attractiveness as a stimulus to the real estate market. Since 2012, “golden visas”—five-year residence entitlements for non-EU foreigners who buy property in Portugal worth over €500,000—have brought in €4 billion. Non-habitual residency (NHR) status, which offers tax advantages, is available to EU pensioners who buy homes in Portugal.[..]

[..] BUDGETARY BOMB
Portugal’s universities are almost bankrupt, and the health system is understaffed and under-resourced. The state body that runs the railways estimates that 60 percent of its infrastructure is in bad or mediocre condition. Social housing is just 2 percent of the housing stock. “A framework law on housing is currently being debated in parliament, but we already know how it will go,” said Rita Silva of Habita, a housing rights association. “Despite a few positive steps, there is no political will to invest public money in housing.

At least here in the USA, address locations are not public data in most of the country. City maps are generally copyrighted and cannot be used in OpenStreetMap. Google has paid for access to proprietary address data. Osmand isn't a source of data, it is not at fault here. OSM contributors need to add addresses manually by walking down the street and using an OSM mobile app like StreetComplete to fill in the gaps.
Sorry if this doesn't apply to you but how do you deal with Docker development? I've heard some horror stories regarding Docker for mac and I don't think I'll be able to live without my Docker containers.

I don't think I was the only one to miss how that conflict related to the F35. Do tell?
Still unclear to me the motivator behind their resolute intentions
The point of the argument here, from my point of view, is this. In the one to three months between full vaccination of vulnerable individuals and drastically reduced R due to general vaccination, is a variant of the virus going to appear that will be able to effectively infect vaccinated people and spread enough for the pandemic to continue?

The answer to this is very probably no. There is a huge difference between the virus making the vaccine less effective eventually, the virus making the vaccine less effective within one to three months, and the virus making the vaccine sufficiently less effective that it can sustain an epidemic among vaccinated individuals. The second is not very likely at all, because for it to happen a variant of the virus would have to mutate, and outcompete the dominant variant, that has a spike protein sufficiently different that it can keep R>1 among vaccinated individuals.

For this, the virus would not only have to evade antibody response sufficiently for there to not be sterilizing immunity, but it would have to do evade the much swifter and effective non-serological immune response enough to stay infectious.

All of this would have to happen in a subset of the population that has a 20x lower chance of being infected and even when that happens, the infection would be much shorter with most of it with completely different evolutionary pressures.

In one to three months.

It would also have to compete effectively against other variants in the non-vaccinated population while it is doing so, because non-vaccinated people are by very far the dominant infection vector. So it would have to evolve this not only in vaccinated, but also non-vaccinated patients, unless you believe that these extensive mutations will happen in one, vaccinated, patient, which is pretty much impossible.
The paper they are basing the opening sentence "phone addiction is one of the biggest non-drug addiction(sic) in human history" on is written by a Doctor of Business Administration, a dean that has "particular industries of interest are banks and non-profit organizations" in his bio and a third researcher with 2 publications total, including the article in question (published 2011).

This may in no way weaken the point that some of the brightest minds of today are working on producing digital Skinner boxes, black on top, with humans as the rats, interfaced via phones.

But basing an attempt at a strong argument about the addictive nature of cell-phones on an article with low relevance in scientific fields specializing in addiction could be described as suspect (most citations on g.scholar on the piece could be delineated as in the fields of business and management ).
It has 4 Cortex-A7 cores with up to 1.2GHz.
Given the kind of stuff e.g. OpenWRT usually runs on, I would say it has more than enough power.

For simple workloads (e.g. serving static files via HTTP) I'm pretty sure it could saturate a gigabit connection.

You can even find pre-made travel routers with the Allwinner H3: https://www.amazon.com/Portable-Allwinner-Quad-core-high-Per...
Terraform also knows how to orchestrate those API calls in dependency order, update in place when possible or else recreate (reusing the cloud platform’s unique ID from creating each resource), and check for drift (because sometimes people alter the actual cloud resource but not the template file). The problem is that some cloud APIs require a lot of boilerplate params to set up correctly (looking at you, aws_appautoscaling_policy), and HCL’s unit of reuse makes it fairly hard to factor out what our resources have in common and end up with template files clear enough for a reviewer to catch mistakes.
For closed source systems detailed changelog is very nice. "Fixed USB reset issues" is close to useless, when you try the new firmware and it still exhibits USB reset issues. More detail the better. And describing the actual changes ("increased XYZ timeout on USB resume") instead of symptoms they tried to address ("we fixed the USB reset" - not) is actually much better.
How much of that is because engineers designed with those limitations in mind?

Nobody has attempted to push what is possible with material science and aerodynamics because there is no point if the pilot wouldn't be able to handle the forces involved. With automation, those limitations no longer apply.

For an example of what I'm thinking of, look at air to air missiles. Sidewinder air-to-air missiles achieve an acceleration of 20g, far more than a human pilot can withstand. Drones in the air superiority role could likewise be designed more like larger, more advanced missiles than traditional aircraft.

I suspect that if engineers design combat aircraft to be pilotless, you'll soon see them executing maneuvers that would be far too punishing if the craft had to support a human pilot.
Interesting!

Yeah sure, it should be a lint rule, we can quickly agree on that. But that wasn't really my point: my point was that random people from the internet are running these kind of high false-positive linters without asking and start emailing people about it.
As a close follower of F-35 development, and of the A&A conflict, I am not exactly sure what you mean. The F-35 would have been very useful to either side willing to use it for the SEAD/wild weasel role.
> I suspect there is some bad code sharing between OSM and Google.

It is possible that both suffer from incorrect entries in the official database or some insane addressing scheme that requires special handling.

Chance that Google Maps copied some buggy code from one of OSM software seems unlikely.

And chances that OSM software copied GMaps code is even lower.

Lol I'm not proposing an LSD-based solution, but I do have a relevant anecdote from my first trip.

We were on the beach sitting on blankets, and my phone somehow got lost in the folds of the blanket while I was coming up. For the next ~4 hours I basically forgot "who" I was, being deprived of a phone that constantly shows me my friends, notes, and pictures. Eventually, I did find my phone and it was the weirdest experience ever to look at my phone and slowly start "remembering" who I am.
This may be an unpopular opinion on HN, but I just don't get it. The whole notion of setting personal goals, working out tasks and sub tasks and strategies and charts - like, you deal with all that stuff in your work life.

Give it a rest. Be with your family. Look at a sunset. Read a book or two. Paint or play the piano. Eat well, go for a run. Do things that are good for you and other people. Spend less time on your phone. Be a nicer person.

None of this needs a chart or a strategy or a plan. It's just common sense humanity.

Don't worry if you "fail", it's the journey that counts. You don't need to be grade VIII on the piano or the best artist in your social circle - just enjoy doing whatever it is. Find stuff with flow. Live life. Don't spend your time measuring it.

Just my halfpence.
> How do they provision it

ex VFX sysadmin here. I'm not sure if they use their own scheduler or not. IF they do, they use tractor(might be tractor 2 now), which looks after putting the processes in the right places. Think K8s, but actually easy to use, well documented and reliable. (just not distributed, but then it scales way higher and is nowhere near as chatty)

They would have a whole bunch of machines, some old some new, some with extra memory, for particle sims, some with extra cores for just plain rendering. Each machine will be separated into slots, which are made up of a fixed number of cores. Normally memory is guarded but CPU is not (ie, you only get 8 gigs of ram, but as much CPU as you can consume. Context switching the CPU is fast, memory not so much.) I'm not sure on how pixar does it, but at a large facility like ilm/framestore/dneg the farm will be split into shows, with guaranteed minimum allocation of cores. this is controlled by the scheduler. crucially it'll be over subscribed, so jobs are ordered by priority.

As for actual hardware provisioning, thats quite cool. In my experience there will be a bringup script that talks to the iLo/iDrac/other management system. When a machine is plugged in, it'll be seen by the bringup script, download the xml/config/other goop that tells the bios how to configure and boot from the network, connect to the imaging system and install whatever version of linux they have.

As for power per frame, each frame will be made up of different plates, so if you have a water sim, that'll be rendered separately, along with other assets. These can then be combined afterwards in nuke to tweak and make pretty without having to render everything again.

That being said, a crowd shot with lots of characters with hair, or a water/smoke/ice effect can take 25+ hours per frame to render. So think a 100core/thread machine redlining for 25 hours, plus a few hundreds TB of spinny disk. (then it'll be tweak 20ish times)

optimisations wise, I suspect it's mostly getting software to play nice on the same machine, or beating TDs to make better use of assets, or adjusting the storage to make sure its not being pillaged too much.
Just got an iPhone 12 in Australia and I see 1100mbit downloads regularly on sub 6 5G. Maybe the network isn’t saturated yet, but that blew me away. That isn’t too far away from mm wave, and I get that inside my apartment. What is Telstra doing differently here to make it work like that? Also worth mentioning, I would consistently get 150mbit down indoors on 4g. Feel lucky to have such a fast network here. I pay ~$30/month for 80gb data
I do that on an AWS instance. I have learned over the years to keep my desktop and my tools well apart as there have been some fatalities which have knocked me out for a day at a time before.

I mostly write Go though which is fine on M1 macs.
I guess I meant that in a more general sense: prioritization is always about tradeoffs, and sometimes you're improving one (paint faster) or improving the other (interactive faster), sometimes both, sometimes trading off one versus the other.

We have looked into the network issues and some of it is similar to what you stated, we do have a known minimum given our chosen cloud infrastructure (separate from our software performance) - we obviously recognize we're not at that limit yet either though.

I have not tried what you mentioned above (load from disk), but I will give it a shot -> it may also give us a clue on how to make our performance testing lower variance, come to think of it......

> Assuming the technology is safe

Whoever invented the 5G conspiracy theories is either having a laugh or is fundamentally disconnected from how radiation works. This pseudo-scientific nonsense has no place on HN.

One of the key design features of 5G is to drop transmit power (instead having more sites, with lower range per site).

Because signal strength drops off with the square of distance to the tower (technically the cube, but because they transmit a flat beam the relevant part of the graph is square), this results in dramatically less transmit radiation vs 4G.

However, all of this is moot, because the radio frequency used isn't a frequency that could ionize anything even if the transmit power weren't negligible.

Thanks for the link! Yes this is the general guidance we're using too (0.1/1/10s), and one that we're reinforcing at every level of the company. This link does have more detail than I've seen in other places though, so it's an interesting read.

However I've not seen guidance on whether these should be P90 or P95 or P99 measures for example though. We've selected something internally, but obviously selecting amongst three 'measurement points' could drastically change general user's experience.

Not specially hard. And you're comparing different stuff. I'm not using a different phone because it's easier, but because having a smartphone is distracting. It's noticeable, but in case you need a link.

Assange is neither and we don't need to make it complicated. Assange broke no laws as a journalist and was always careful to release information that would not harm anyone. What he did was no different than the release of the Pentagon papers published in the New York Times.
It’s also nonsense. The chairman of the OSMF board is the retired US ambassador to Turkmenistan. That’s an interesting definition of “people who sell these services (map rendering and geolocation)“.
I could swear I ran into that corruption (or a similar one?) almost a decade ago. They still haven't fixed it?! It was quite reproducible too, it just happened when I transferred a large file...
I don't know what you're looking for?

The first one says 'millennial[s] won't take your phone call' in the first line. Then it even quantifies it 'a quarter never use [their phone] for calls'.

If a quarter of people you might be meeting never make or take a phone call, how successful do you think you're going to be in trying to reach them via a phone call?

'Most of the twenty- and thirty somethings I socialise with would rather suck Donald Trump’s toe than make or receive a call in order to have a chat'

Lol what more are you looking for?
Phone addiction is linked to so many problems because phones are used for so many things.

Exemplified by the following quote from the article "5. Inability to feel pleasure and excitement in the offline world but excessive emotions are tied to online rewards like gambling, likes, shares, followers, sexting, masturbation to porn, etc."

The phone itself is like a gun to a soldier, a force multiplier. By itself, it does nothing, give it to a friendly soldier and he will become more effective, give it to the enemy and he will become more dangerous.
Thanks. That definitely is file system corruption. And that is very scary, as (assuming you have backups, which you should) losing files you’re working on is not the biggest problem you can have. That will lose you a few days at most.

Silent corruption of parts of the disk that you rarely access but still want to keep is scarier (you might have rotating backups for months or years and still eventually lose data)
I'd be the perfect target for the products of a company like Pine. A long-time geek who uses open-source software on nearly all of his devices, a tinkerer who doesn't mind recompiling a kernel or picking a solderer to make things work, and someone who seeks for absolute flexibility from his devices with zero corporate compromises.

Unfortunately, the mediocre hardware used in their devices keeps holding me back.

First came a phone with a 9-year-old A53 Cortex chipset. Then a tablet with the same outdated chipset. Then a laptop that ships with a Rockchip RK3399 with 4GB of RAM, in an era when 4GB barely suffice to run a browser with a few tabs. And now they are releasing a smartwatch with a 64 MHz core and 64 KB of RAM - some specs you would have expected from a very cheap smartwatch released 7-8 years ago.

Why should I use a device whose hardware is almost a decade old at the time of purchase? And how do they even expect anyone to actually use these devices as their primary daily drivers, and not as proofs of concept, nice toys to tinker on every now and then or show off to friends?

I understand that Pine wants to use 100% open hardware, and that comes with heavy compromises, but are these compromises worth it?

If you ask even the geekest user out there whether they prefer a device whose source code is 100% pure and doesn't contain any binary blobs, or a device that doesn't start freezing/lagging after a couple of minutes of normal usage, I bet that anyone would opt for the latter.
Is it bad to feel rewarded for legitimately engaging your brain?

Is it bad for something to be a "dopamine slot machine" if it's only because it actually allows you to consume knowledge more rapidly/efficiently?
Sure. Running a Linux VM (WSL2) just to use containers seems to kind of defeat the point, though. You might as well just run your containers in VMs.
This sort of nationalistic flamewar boilerplate is not welcome on HN, regardless of which country you have a problem with. This is not conversation, it's blaring through a megaphone, and it's not what this site is for. Internet battle rhetoric is off topic on Hacker News, because regardless of what the underlying topic is, it makes curious conversation impossible.

No, we're not communist agents or secret sympathizers; we're simply trying to moderate an internet forum that doesn't suck. Posts like this one destroy that like salt on a slug, so please fight your battles elsewhere. Edit: Sorry, I realize it probably sounds like I'm picking on you personally and I don't mean to at all—this kind of thing is unfortunately common, and it's a big deal.

Personal attacks and name-calling are also not ok ("your frankly very ignorant"), so please don't do those either.

In another YC News thread I was confused by people complaining about their text editor or IDE latency, because I've never had that problem with any editor, despite being a gamer and very sensitive to even tens of milliseconds latency.

A lot of people explained that they do development using a Macbook Air on battery. Those are an order of magnitude slower than a plugged in desktop PC. Twenty milliseconds for me is a two hundred milliseconds for them!

Similarly, many outsourced developers are forced to work on cloud VMs that are not only relatively low-spec (1 or 2 cores), but outright throttled, such as the B-series Azure VMs.

Web developers at ISVs like Atlassian are also "spoiled" by having essentially unfettered LAN connectivity with 1-5 millisecond latencies. Worse still, they'll do development with the server component running on their localhost, which is basically cheating.

Real enterprise networks have at least two firewalls between end-users and the Internet, and at least one web proxy, which more than likely supports only TLS 1.2, HTTP 1.1, Gzip, etc...

We have customers that have less Internet uplink bandwidth for 15,000 users than I have for myself at home.

But all of this is immaterial to Jira's performance woes. It's slow in all circumstances. There is no way to make it fast. Not even liquid nitrogen cooled Zen 3 CPUs running at 8 GHz could bring the page load times down to what I would categorise as acceptable.
