I used to work in drug development specifically on anti fungal medication and they are all extremely hepatotoxic. They tend also to be pathogen specific. I doubt this fellow will live long enough to get a liver transplant.
>For labs it's not like you get any help either.

That's never been the case in any of my lab classes from multiple departments. The whole reason you have TAs is so you can ask questions constantly and get instant feedback. Stuck on something during a lab? Flag down the TA and they will set you right. Drop your test tube full of precurser during organic chemistry lab on the floor? No worries, the TA appears moments later with an aliquot of precurser to give you so you can proceed with the lab exercise. Motion detector not working during physics lab? The TA gives you a new one out of the equipment closet or helps you troubleshoot the lab software.

I actually taught a remote version of a lab class this semester and it was horrible. You can't learn lab techniques by watching videos and slideshows or using various virtual lab simulation programs; you gotta get your hands on these things. You wouldn't know how finicky a western blot is until you've accidentally ripped your gel cracking it out of the precast case trying to transfer it to your membrane; all you get on the virtual format is 'be careful,' rather than training sufficient to start work in a research lab immediately.
The best way in any open source project to make sure a feature is implemented, is to write it yourself and submit a merge request. I don't think any open source desktop is special in this regard, the same rules apply. I am not sure what you're trying to point out by saying that some developers work for Red Hat, the same rules apply to them. If they want features implemented, they write the code and they submit it upstream. What else should happen here? Should they just stop submitting patches and let upstream stagnate?
Glad to hear your daughter is doing well! Your story really captures a lot about the experience of attempting to find some sense of control in a situation where you feel powerless. What do you think it would have taken to develop the emotional stability to approach this differently (i.e. being able to show up at the hospital) or do you believe that experience is the only way to learn some of these lessons?
So, you are describing the actual government atm.
Very interesting topic. Personally, I know many suffering burnout except those who have a balanced life before lockdown. People who have a safe social network. But when it comes to entrepreneurship it's a disaster.
> maintain its independence and become a full-fledged competitor in the desktop and server market.

If I had to guess, Nuvia's expertise will be used to optimize Qualcomm's ARM, Adreno and Hexagons for the next generation of Snapdragon cx. Qualcomm and Microsoft dipped their toe into this market and now that Apple is all-in, they need an answer to the M1. They won't get there with reference designs from ARM.

But once they're producing optimized ARMs for SoC apps processors, who's to say that they couldn't re-enter the server space?
This is more-or-less my position.

I work at a very small company, and I have a lot of leverage relative to other opportunities. I can directly feel how my work converts into more business value & opportunity. This is not just about me though. It's also about being able to grow the company and provide amazing opportunities for other developers, project managers, executives, et. al. I view my company and team members almost as a big family. We offer all sorts of employee incentive packages, so my success also means that others on the team are reaping value.

For me, this is enough. I can go through life with the purpose of holding together a technology company & vision. Especially, when I view it through the lens of all the opportunity and support I can provide for other humans. I feel I can do a lot more good in this world through technology & business than if I were to bunker down and start my own family and pour all my energy into that bucket.

There is certainly a happy balance that a lot of people manage across both realms, but I have doubled-down a bunch of times on the technology paths, so I am fairly locked-in at this phase. I am truly happy with the choices I have made. Many times, the hardest part of this is ignoring some of the more toxic perspectives regarding your choices & contributions. I have to remind myself that a lot of people are really not happy with their jobs and just want to get in and out without too much drama.
That's where I think Apple making a car might be interesting. They've already shown they can handle effectively renting a phone. And we know for sure their car isn't going to be cheap.

What I suspect they're going to do is make it so you can only finance through them with the option to trade up after five years. They'll take the car back after that time and either refurb and resell it themselves or offload that to third-parties. That gives them steady revenue for years with comparatively high margins.

And, like Tesla, they'll sell direct. No dealerships for the Apple Car.
Biden is described as center-left - the "radical" left is claimed to be a wing of the democratic party, which is objectively true, the question is more about what level of influence that wing has on the policy direction of the party as a whole

Even if Gab or Parler don't take revenue, the users who leave Facebook and Twitter will still no longer be advertised to on those platforms, so that's still a revenue drop for the incumbents.
Because it failed in its intended goal, which was to create a viable competitor to AMD and Nvidia at the high-end of the GPU market.
Even if your mom doesn't care about battery life, she will probably buy a product that is also sold to buyers who do care about battery life, and if the product can meet those buyer's needs with a smaller battery, then your mom's laptop will be lighter.

So, does your mom also not care about the weight of her laptop?

To be honest, I love working from home that I never want to return to an office again.

That means I want now to change my job. Remote FTW!

The system as a whole will produce heat, but less.
I've wanted (and have been mulling) a boycott platform, but with built-in contracts and degrees.

For instance:
I commit to not buying Starbucks for 90 days in order to support a mandate that they reduce their plastic usage 20%.

Or, I will not pay for UFC PPVs for 6 months to protest Dana White's support of Donald Trump.

It'd be nice to quantify resistance to corporate endeavors on a populist level. Of course, given current social circumstances, it would be hard to keep it civil.
That's also a fair point, but they've had successful non-portable consoles before like the Wii.
The Black compared with the older RPi3. And everybody was always "The RPi3 is cheaper".

The conversations always went like this:

"Cheaper? So, did you count the SD card you need for the RPi?"

"But it's cheaper."

"And the special power supply because the RPi power systems suck?"

"But it's cheaper."

"And the keyboard and monitor because it doesn't run headless over USB?"

"But it's cheaper."

"... Okay, boss, it's cheaper. Go have fun."

And that's before we even start talking about the lousy documentation of the RPi CPU chips. And the fact that the Ethernet was installed over the USB. etc.

But the RPi was cheaper. Shrug. The guys at TI learned their lesson. Throw everything off the board and make it cheap--the hackers don't give a shit about anything else.

He should have re-read that paragraph.

Does someone understand the graph btw ?

Also I do agree that this era is selling obesity in many forms and that the high frequency noise, flood, paradox of choice is unhealthy.

There was an article (I forgot where sorry) which claimed that difficulty and depth was more in tune with how our system works. You don't progress by doing thousands of nanosteps. Maybe I'm too masochist but I think it works better. Deep moves, deep rest, repeat.
I think it could go either way. That makes it viable for a vicious cycle.
Let's see if this is true, statistically:

https://www.statista.com/statistics/735904/worldwide-x86-int...

Intel/AMD split in x86 currently 61.4% / 38.6%.

If we (very incorrectly assume) 100% of Intel sales were through Apple and were going to all be replaced by Apple, then, even given current trends AMD and Apple would be at roughly 50/50 before long. Looks like OS X is around 16-17% of desktop operating system share though. So the ~82% of buyers still buying x86 are going to continue choosing between Intel and AMD.

Apple M1 has some people believing that suddenly everyone will stop buying x86 chips and buy Apple unless someone releases a competitive ARM based chip for Windows/Linux. I'd like to see some evidence for that premise, though.

Apple's messaging has always been "better designed hardware + better software experience", and yet they still haven't breached 20% market share. A CPU that increases battery life (and yes performs very well) but still can't be bought with your Windows PC isn't going to rapidly change the market share. It could erode it over time, but this is certainly just conjecture, not proof. Let's revisit the conversation in 5 years and see what Apple, Intel and AMD have done, technologically, and what consumers have decided.

I find this an interesting comment, coming a day before the best company in your employer's portfolio does this [0].

It looks like your "curious, thoughtful conversation," idea only applies to the very narrow confines of HN - and only, of course, when you choose to employ your moderator authority by bumping your message to the top of the thread.

Perhaps the problem is your guys' rules. I cannot think of a community that shows a more wanton disregard for community guidelines, than this one. Your portfolio companies all exist in stark contrast to these ideas.

Not to mention the university library has a couple copies of that $300 textbook on reserve for you, so if you were doing your studying at the library anyway there isn't any reason to shell out. I would even take pictures of salient chapters with my phone if I really needed to take the content home.

Online only, there would be no avoiding those mandatory fees. Libraries don't have homework codes on reserve.

If your threat model include adversaries willing to perpetrate a physical DoS attack on your infrastructure, you need physical security. I.e. if the students had no internet cables to cut, they could just as easily have cut the power. Or set fire to the building.

(love the fact that this comment was downvoted! Sorry for the effect that has on your karma though)

The dangerous part is presuming that no good software can come from OO. A comment like "I would prefer to see this in a functional paradigm, with as few side effects as possible" is absolutely fine.

The statement that all OO is bad makes an absolute out of a subjective, rubbishes the work and effort of millions and may cause a relative beginner to ignore learning a paradigm that is fundamental to their growth and learning as a developer.

Now then, that said... if you wanted an argument over avoiding OOP, I would argue any statement that categorically says "Avoid X" is an oversimplification. Everything is a balance of strengths and weaknesses, and there are times when OO is the right tool for the job. You are welcome to disagree, and I wouldn't downvote you for doing so _in this context_, but in a Stack Overflow context, depending on how you say it, I very well might if I considered your words dangerous enough.

Just a wild stab in the dark here but those redactions might have to do with SIGINT. Or in other words, how the UFO report came to be.

Because when I saw this headline "NSA UFO Documents Index" hosted on nsa.gov, I realized why I don't care about UFO theories. Because even the NSA has given up. No sane person cares about this stuff. They will readily index it on their website to shut those lunatics up.
>Imagine how programming and operating systems might look in a world where processing power is 80x cheaper.

So like 2009 compared to 2021? Based on that, I'd say even more inefficient webshit.
Oppression is a bit strong word, I'd say downvotes promote groupthink.

People with opposing worldviews simply stop commenting after receiving downvotes (and especially when banned from commenting for some time because of downvoting). Currently HN is very progressive, although there is a lot of people with conservative views, who simply don't comment.

It could the the opposite: conservative majority with quiet progressives. It would be equally bad.
Unfortunately, there's really no moat & no differentiation (so others could also be horizontal competitors, making this a commodity), and the giant platform players will always make it easier for their own vertically-integrated offerings to work better with their customer-valuable services and products.
That would actually work fine on Windows 10 32bit. It still has NTVDM and can run 16bit and DOS programs.
Maybe we have different usage patterns? For instance the main thing is an IRC client connected to several servers and channels, while voice chat is only optionally in use? "On demand", so to speak.

Thanks for the feedback. I thought about this earlier, but it requires to maintain this list manually. What do you think about fetching the tags from the Github repository and link once synchronized to wintermute?
> why do employers give it?

Because employers want you to sign a general release of claims, non-disparagement agreement, and/or other agreements when being sent off, and those aren't binding contracts without something in exchange.

And because, in many industries, to avoid hard feelings—if you aren't being let go for cause, especially if you have networks in a high-demand field, they want you giving positive or neutral referrals, not negative ones. And as things shift, they might even want you back.

And because the practice maintains the incentive for loyalty when company performance gives reason to expect imminent layoffs: if you don't give severance, the financial cost of quitting or being fired compared to being laid off is smaller.
Ah, I see. That wasn't explicitly stated in your original comment, so I was just wanted to clarify.

I think these are valid concerns about Svelte's future. However, you should give it a try and see if you like it regardless. Its got some neat ideas.

Tangent. I first noticed the phrase "leaning into" a couple of years ago and I'm still not sure I understand how to use it.

It's like "flex". I don't hate them (I hate "relatable" and "addicting" but those are apparently acceptable as real words now) but it's odd how they seem to bubble up suddenly out of nowhere.

My son works for a small firm in Nashville which writes and sells software for conveyor-belt machines and similar warehouse-y equipment (Amazon, UPS, that type of thing). So as you can imagine that's pretty much a bottomless market right now. He makes more money that I do, which of course is what we hope for all our children.
Just because the invested some money in that, doesn't mean they should bet all their wealth on it?
In years to come we will look down on the 5 day working week in the same way we currently do with 15hr factory shifts during the industrial revolution.

It absolutely blows my mind that 99% of office roles are still 5 days / week, Monday to Friday - why is there basically no variation on this model? I'd be more than happy to work a job for 80% salary for 4 days per week...

So much so, I'm about to launch a website listing remote software jobs with a 4 day work week:

I've been using LastPass for at least 1 year now.

Before using LastPass I just had a formula to generate passwords so I always memorized them. Until I forgot where I have an account and where not.

That's basically the main reason why I started using a password manager, to remember if I have an account or not.
Indeed, the geopolitics works both ways. I think the Chinese are looking at RISC-V as a safe-guard against American embargoes of the kind that killed/maimed HiSilicon, the non-Chinese nation-states are looking for full transparency of silicon design, and the manufacturers want full access to a truly global market that includes China. I'm not sure that SiFive RISC-V designs can be competitive with ARM/x64 in the short-term but the geopolitics creates a potential niche.

I think you are conflating assembly and manufacturing. TSMC is Taiwanese and Samsung is South Korean. Personally I'd prefer that all nation-states and their security organizations followed the Golden Rule and promoted free trade rather than protectionism.

> made with slave labor from congo, china and other countries

I don't equate low-wage manufacturing/assembly with exploitation and certainly not slavery but I understand that this is a common metaphor. Contemporary slavery [1] is a real thing and, until I see contrary evidence, I'm assuming it makes zero contribution to high-tech assembly or manufacturing.

Professors at university don't really care about attendance, since you are an adult and can make your own decisions with your education. Attendance was never tallied during my undergrad. Some of mine would make a joke of it about how the class seems to triple in population on exam day.
