Yeah, that came off clumsily (I’d lost part of my comment while switching tabs on my phone).

An AMD Rome/Milan part will give you 256 decent threads on a 2S box with a ton of RAM for say $20-25k at list price (e.g., a Dell power edge without any of their premium support or lots of flash). By comparison, the list price of just an A100 is $15k (and you still need a server to drive the thing).

So for shops shoving these into a data center they still need to do a cost/benefit tradeoff of “how much faster is this for our shows, can anyone else make use of it, how much power do these draw...”. If anything, the note about more and more software using CUDA is probably as important as “ray tracing is now sufficiently faster” since the lack of reuse has held them back (similar things for video encoding historically: if you’ve got a lot of cpus around, it was historically hard to beat for $/transcode).
To allow for multiple substitutions to be done the same way.

Pure guess, but I wouldn't be surprised if fewer smokers went to the hospital for minor cases. Most of the common symptoms for the illness are things smokers regularly deal with like a loss of taste and smell, congestion, coughing, and breathing difficulties. So unless things are pretty bad, being sick might seem better than getting hospitalized and going through withdrawal.

I hope whatever wide scale antibody test they do ask if the person smokes as well.
I just describe these "dumb password requirements" in a file that can be public, and have my DPM generate a password that fits those requirements. See my comment one level up with link.
This article was excellent and will be saving it for the future when I'm ready to give rust a try.
From my experience with lots of VC money.
I can't emphasize this strongly enough: no juniors. Probably for the first 3+ years. They're a disaster, and it's taken my company a year -- with another year or more to go -- to recover.

It's not even necessarily their fault; they just need piles of time and mentorship and direction that you can't afford to give yet. Worse, you'll quite possibly end up firing them when you eventually start reigning them in and they don't like being told how to build things.

Trust me, it's been an extremely painful experience.
Have you worked for anyone you respected before? My mentors are former bosses I had good relationships with and respected.
As someone who has been wearing nicotine patches every day for several years, the thought of the general population buying up my life source is terrifying. I now have a 400 day supply arriving tomorrow.
Hey, I thought I recognized your name! I enjoy your book reviews.
Sorry but that doesn't explain anything.

Why is just "x" not allowed? What does ".{x}" actually mean?
I'm sorry, as a JIRA user since 2008, your software has always been slow. I used to like that I could run your software on prem and configure issue fields etc, but now, you have so many layers of crap and "pretty" that its not suprising you can't tell what is fast and what isnt.

It is not your customers job to instrument your software. Your API gateway can provide precise and accurate figures on how long API calls take and there is nothing stopping you adding web page metrics that can provide client-side measurements as well.

Some examples are available on the publicly visible JIRA boards, like the one for hibernate. Just go click on all issues and then click on any issue in a private browser window and with the cache empty.

Every one of the fields take seconds to load. That is not internet roundtrip time, that is your backend. Even when the issue is ~80% loaded (according to your own page load bar), there are still JS scripts that will load and reformat the page, causing the browser to reflow.

These are not cached, because loading another issue doesn't resolve the problem.

So there are fundamental front end problems that have nothing to do with the servers or backend, they are entirely a problem of the JS and the in-browser activities.

Fix them.
Real 2FA with at least 2 hardware keys is good. Shitty SMS 2FA is no good, hardware key + SMS is no good.

The big advantage to a hardware key is that if someone snatches it from you, you can go home, log in with your backup key, and disable the stolen key.

Phone-based 2FA is super vulnerable to simple phone theft, SIM swapping, phone number porting theft, and it's simply ridiculous that if you carry a laptop with you that you also need a phone. The laptop itself should be able to accomplish everything. I believe in the most powerful device in front of you should handle 100% of digital tasks including 2FA.

I host a Bitwarden instance myself, and it should only be accessible from my home network. When I’m out and about I VPN home, so I still have access to my password manager as well.

This setup has worked great so far.
Something like this for build.zig would be amazing, https://ziglang.org/documentation/master/#Zig-Build-System is pretty light on the details based on what I've seen in the wild projects do.
Huh. I've been using Keepass2 with a smartcard for a long time now. I don't like that all passwords are unlocked at once, but the DPG approach seems to act the same way. The DPG approach also requires that if I update my 'amazon' password I have to remember that I'm on 'amazon3' or whatever version.

I'd really like to figure out a way to have Keepass or a similar system only unlock one password at a time. I think I can do this using the smartcard by encrypting each password individually using the card, but I've been too busy to learn the plugin system.

This way I can only open my password manager on a trusted system, since the entire key database is open. I suppose this is also equivalent to the DPG approach, assuming you use an obvious name for each website (i.e. amazon, google, ebay, etc.)
Lol, I've been saying this since July. Severe covid is due to organ inflammation from overaggressive immune system response, and nicotine is an immune system suppressant. The one episode of Dr. House where is was actually sarcoidosis (a systemic inflammatory disease), the patient didn't have any symptoms because of his use of chewing tobacco to manage his weight for wrestling.
Does this mean that "print" only takes two arguments, and the second argument has to be an array?

This is the kind of information that your tutorial needs to contain, because it's radically different from C and other languages, and this is exactly the kind of information that readers will be looking for: "How different is Zig from C and why should I care?".
> but beyond that I don't know what your point is.

The ancestor to which I'm responding was suggesting that self-medicating at prescription-level doses was a viable option. It's not:

1. If you can get the tests to show that you actually need prescription-level dosing (rather than OTC dosing), then you can get the prescription far cheaper than the OTC medication anyway.

2. If you can't get the tests, then you shouldn't be taking a higher-than-OTC dose without a damn good reason, and we sure as heck shouldn't be encouraging that here or treating it as a priority--although I think the ancestor was half-joking.

This particular branch of the discussion isn't about OTC dosing. If you want to just take normal supplements at normal doses, go right ahead. Don't think you need to allocate money to go higher than that, especially when there isn't really a guarantee that it will even be safe, much less necessary.
Trucks pay a lot of taxes, both in fuel and otherwise. True everyone who uses diesel pays those fuel taxes, but the number of diesel passenger cars in the USA is so small that it can be ignored.

In 2016 commercial trucks paid $18.4 billion in federal highway user taxes and $21.6 billion in state highway user taxes[1]

If you have a lot of string handling the strictness and ease of safe zero copy in Rust would make it unbeatable for performance and safety.

Due to lifetimes it's easy to keep string slices as references into the original memory and if you do need to modify some strings, you can use CoW.

The way Rust deals with encoding also makes it much safer to use Rust. Since you need to be very explicit about which encoding you convert to what and if you want to allow lossy conversions.

I don't think there is much of an equivalent in ADA for this. ADA has other benefits, like the delta (fixed point) types which help a lot in embedded projects.

Uh, the pandemic of today is pretty important. I’m not sure I would characterize trying to slow it down as “shortsighted”.

And, the point of vitamin D supplementation isn’t to avoid rickets. That’s what the RDA is based on and there’s increasing evidence that while that’s an easy threshold to cross, it’s way too low. People don’t get enough sun and low vitamin D levels seem to have a serious negative impact on health.
Oregon is doing the same too, but based on fuel economy. It's ridiculous that someone with a gas guzzler will pay less. It's the wrong move to transition us to alternative fuels.
Then you haven't been around long enough to absorb all the perverse incentives there are around how things get coded, and ways to use metrics in novel and completely unintended ways.
That's why i think devops has some good ideas - you are responsible for the shit you ship. Also developer on calls - if you ship shit that goes down or causes errors, you get woken up in the middle of the night or during your vacation.
Bill Gates' "brilliance' was his extreme paranoia - always looking for a disruptor to his rent-seeking monopolies that pretty much stifled most creativity in the PC space for the better part of two decades. But he's certainly no genius. Geniuses leave behind a creative, ground-breaking legacy. Gates only legacy was to strangle that sort of creativity. So he's an anti-genius.

Hey Matt,

That's an excellent question. The free part of MistralCSS is enough for 90% of the users, I guess, and that's cool!

But the Premium is a little bit different. It's a long term support app with new components and blocks coming every weeks / months (130 components for the Launch Day)

Features you don't have on the free part :

- You can randomize some components (Example: https://twitter.com/MistralCss/status/1339602497317392386 )

- Gradient colors schema

- Email support

- Code preview

- Pages - literally full pages templates (Coming soon)

- AlpineJS integration on some elements (Coming soon)
The approaches I outlined above are partly intended to be a framework for educating stakeholders, and partly a way to get alignment within the dev team on how much time to spend on tech debt fix; at an early stage startup it is very easy to get tunnel vision on adding more features, and forget to step back and make improvements. Or for some engineers it’s hard to do the converse, and stop at the 80/20 solution.

I think by talking explicitly about tech debt you can get the non-technical stakeholders on board. (It helps I think of you were warning them about tech debt when you were taking it on, too, and not just starting to educate when it comes time to pay back.)

In my experience teams run better when everyone is somewhat aligned on how much tech debt to be taking on or paying back.

I am sure there are other ways to get alignment too; I’m interested to hear what other leads have implemented. I could believe for some team compositions the “let each engineer figure it out” approach would work well, but I think that is kind of like the Agile “self organizing team” — it’s rare that you get to work in a team where everyone is experienced enough for a free form approach to work, especially when you are growing fast.
> I use Paddle for taking subscription payments for a paid Chrome extension (https://www.checkbot.io/).

I had a look at Paddle (only heard about it just today) and seems to have an advantage with their VAT offering, (I thought Stripe does this already for you)

How do payouts happen with Paddle in your experience? Stripe usually happens in a week for me.

Also can't seem to see pricing on any of their pages.
Yes, this example isn’t quite as high as the 2-10x range I claimed, but I still liked it as an example because the CPU is very beefy, and it’s newer and roughly the same list price as the GPU being compared. I like that they compare power consumption too, and ultimately the GPU comes out well ahead. There are lots of other comparisons that show huge x-factors, this one seemed less likely to get called out for cherry picking, and @berkut’s critique of texture memory consumption for large production scenes is fair... we’re not all the way there yet. But, 50% faster is still “worth it”. In the video, Sam mentions that if you compare lower end components on both sides, the x-factor will be higher.
I find both "caffeine" and "Amphetamine" difficult to spell. Any tips?
"even not particularly addictive when not delivered via burning leaves"

My personal experience is that it is even more addictive. First, with NRT (gum, lozenge) you can use nicotine much more frequently - e.g. even going to bed with lozenge in your mouth. Second, you can easily increase your dosage. 2mg piece of gum not doing it for you? Pop in a few more or move up to 4mg. Switch to mini-lozenge and you can suck on say 5 * 4mg lozenges at one time.
The Spanish Flu didn't have as many interventions as we have now, so it was allowed to run its course. We're actually in uncharted territory right now--we've never stopped a pandemic like this before. If the virus mutates faster than we can vaccinate, we could have just dragged out the inevitable. We could have also made it endemic by slowing its spread and selected extra contagious strains.

Meanwhile, colds and flus are way down, but there might be unintended consequences of not using your immune system for a year+.

I wouldn’t be too sure of that. It was slow out of the gate and got progressively worse as time went on; it’s entirely possible that a much slower device might feel more responsive.
The title is good, and contains an often overlooked point: startups need to survive tech debt precisely because they do not need or want to avoid tech debt. Startups generally don't have the resources to do things properly. They don't have the people, the cash, or the time. So they trade on their future value: get cash from investors on the promise of future returns. Pay below-market salaries but promise quick promotions and options packages. Take on tech debt to get to market now, and hope to pay it off later. And, when it works, this is a great strategy. Tech debt is good if you're a startup. But only if you survive it.

Personally I've never seen a startup that was actually killed by tech debt, although it does sometimes cause good employees to quit, and of course it causes product delays. It's like any form of debt: a dangerous but oftentimes necessary tool.

This can be fixed with new, smaller anti drone AA missiles. One doesn't need a full Sidewinder missile to blow up a drone. Even purely kinetic missiles without an explosive charge are usable on smaller drones.

There are already many ground based anti drone platforms such as Rafael Systems' Drone Done which can be installed on a pickup truck. If Armenia had any of those, they woulld have had an advantage in the recent war with Azerbaidjan.

If I were on a tight budget and didn't have a prescription, I'd definitely get mine from Amazon. It's a relatively cheap, generic product. I'd be a little worried about other unexpected chemicals being mixed in, but food is probably even more of a concern in that regard. On the scale of things to fret over if you're short on cash, vitamin D sourcing is probably pretty low.

Besides, what are the chances that a local store's vitamin D is actually higher-quality? It wouldn't surprise me in the slightest if they both ended up coming from the same place.
In what context are you using an external monitor without plugging your laptop into power?
All I'm seeing is this statement which is factually correct: 50,000 IU dosages aren’t really available by prescription only when 5,000 IU pills are OTC.

A lot of people on this forum are very comfortably well off. I'm not one of them and I do what I can to educate people, both here and elsewhere, about the reality of what a lot of poor people live with. But that seems to mostly be irrelevant to the points people here are making today.

I'm not sure why you seem to feel so compelled to argue so strenuously that everyone here is missing some important details about how the poorest of the poor live in the US. I really don't think they are. I think that's just mostly got nothing to do with this discussion at the moment.

I also think HN is fairly well informed these days overall on such topics because they put up with me being openly homeless for nearly six years and I still sometimes write about that and sometimes hit the front page on such topics. So the crowd here isn't generally all "la la la, not listening." This just seems honestly not relevant to the discussion, at least not in the way it is being approached.
I’m also interested. What’s your latitude and do you get sun often?
Counter-anecdote: one very successful SaaS startup I know launched with one unsupervised junior dev building everything, because they had no budget for more. He knew so little about coding he didn't even know what tech debt was when I spoke to him, a year in. But he got the v1 to market, which got them investment, and allowed them to hire in experience round him, and start paying off a mountain of tech debt. It was painful, but it worked. And, crucially, they could not have even got started if they'd not done it that way.

The pill's outer coating is different which contributes to the release schedule. This can be important based on how the body is expected to metabolize it. By default, the body will waste many extra servings of vitamins. There is also the chance of overdosing on it and not getting the desired effect or damaging other organs.

Also, this whole conversation about cost is a red herring. I looked at the sister thread and I have no idea what they are talking about.

This set of pills was cheaper for me to pay for, with the doctor's prescription, than the lower dosage pills on Amazon. Which I also had purchased upon seeing my blood results, before my doctor had chimed in on the results themselves.
