There are at least three levels of indirection between memory and registers and there is no language that allows you to access that directly.

It lets you see more of the stack but not all of it.

Before I coded in assembly for example I had no idea why string operations in C were so lacking compared to everything else. When you realize that you are literally dealing with bytes in an array of variable length the limitations make a lot more sense.
I’m pretty sure the mental image the author is projecting is of someone with a low but healthy body fat percentage and high functional muscle. Getting huge, via steroids or otherwise, doesn’t really match the motif of Greco-Roman sculpture.

Turning to the point on Steroids. I used to work out at the type of gym the author describes. People were mostly in Greek statue state (can’t say I’m included) and did not appear to be on steroids. I moved away from the coasts and the gym next to my home clearly has at least a history of steroid use. Everyone is gigantic. The gym is near several schools with sports programs. The lifts are all very heavy. They do not look like a statue. More like a Marvel movie character. I’d be surprised to find much steroid use in the health focused gym world as no one really expressed the same values. They wanted to look good and live a long life. They were not looking to lift heavier and heavier or look like a walking mountain.
IIRC Julia team is based in one of the California universities, unlike Postman, whose headquarters are in India.
Thats what I am trying to say. You disallow third party clients from joining lyrical servers because federation bad and fud about "brand".

Saying here you go. Open source. You can fork a client but dont connect, you can fork server but dont use official apps.

I do not know if GPL code can have this restriction. Its like saying Tesla car has open source or Foss software. Free to fork it but you need to build your own car to run this software. Its free, is open source, just not usable.
Well, that's just you. After some time TikTok actually learns what type of videos you like to watch and shows you more and more of those. You end up in a bubble. Their algorithm is pretty good at that.

When I check the phones of my kids or my wife, I can see totally different type of videos recommended to them.
TikTok is 90% you get what you consume. More so than even facebook. If you consume right wing content you will get right wing content. You consume queer content you will get queer content.

This is sorta like complaining that you go to reddit every day and all you see is /r/the_donald and /r/gore. Well if you didn't subscribe (consume in tiktok's case) then you wouldn't see very much of it.
Windows & Linux users will still be able to use it. Most popular VPN services seem to develop their own custom desktop clients (they do this for OpenVPN); they will definitely contribute to Wireguard, but I'm not sure that they will contribute much to the desktop-specific parts of the "official" apps.

Edit: I should add that there is another cost/benefit assessment here: if Wireguard developers continue to appease Apple, Apple will continue to make life difficult for them as there will be no pressure for it to behave better.
It’s Time for Washington to Treat Social-Media Oligopolists Accordingly
>Social cooling refers to the idea that if “you feel you are being watched, you change your behavior.” And the massive amounts of data being collected, especially online, is exxagerating this effect.

This is a strange perspective to me. I feel like I'm much more aware of being watched by the other users of a social media site when I post than of the inscrutable algorithms.
> Not sure how a users' union would have much leverage since they don't pay.

Well, advertisers require traffic. If traffic adjacent to Google ads dried up, so would the value proposition of Google's products to its advertising customers. In this way, users collectively could exercise leverage on Google and its advertising clients by boycotting sites/services that serve Google ads (though good luck organizing that).
>Amazon destroyed competitor when it closed Parler

Parler and Amazon are not, and never have been competitors.

Amazon does a lot of different things, but running a social media site isn't one of them.
For now.

When they change that optional setting they introduced recently which blocks sideloading applications outside of the official store and make it non-optional, what are we going to do? Use special Chinese Android builds with Ali store (or whatever it's called)?

Boiling the frog slowly and all.
I use the Family Link feature on Android, so my kids have to ask for permission before they install a new app.
What makes a great junior developer(it's not the technical skills)
Filter icons on search engine result pages
During 2020 I showed HN a new search engine which used topical icons for search criteria.

The feedback although positive raised the difficulty of finding more specific results, so I would like to show a new feature: Filter icons.

For example, if you select the GAMES icon then within the search engine result pages you can then filter results by PLAYSTATION & XBOX.

Thanks for looking and appreciate any constructive feedback. https://dropicon.com
So does a domain name, so did an SSL certificate, so does any payment provider, so do many many other things. Heck.. so is facebook, so is whatsapp. When it's about those "we" like to complain that there should be a paid version instead of a free version. It's just a load of bs.

The article is not even about distributing free applications. It's about paid applications.
Hehe.. that’s a good way to put it.

That's a fair point, I was picturing developers (who are Apple users) in my head when I wrote this.
Yeah, I know nothing about frontend frameworks (Angular was just getting started last time I did any frontend work), and having read about Svelte for the first time just now, the "$:" thing seems pretty reasonable to me.

<script>
let count = 0;
$: doubled = count * 2;
</script>

<p>{count} doubled is {doubled}</p>

I'd be very confused if `doubled` were to somehow automatically update any time the value of `count` changes, if merely defined as a standard variable (e.g. `let doubled = count * 2;`). This would totally break my mental programming model.

I'm not sure what the parent commenter had in mind as an alternative, or how it could be made simpler or terser.
Developers and operations should absolutely have input. They might not make the final decision, but they should have an informed say in the topic.

the irony of decrying the journalistic pressure to pump out as many articles as possible - resulting in lower quality - and then promoting your own "FAST writing guide" after the article
> They tell of a technology company that seems to see its employees first and foremost as raw materials from which it wants to forge its own success.

Oh no, just like most of the companies out there. I get it, Huawei might not be an ideal workplace. But the article is riding the China hate train.
Oh wow, I didn't realize there's such a huge discrepancy in salary.
I fell into the same trap a while back. Bought a mac, fixed some OSS I maintained (and I do note the documentation was quite crap "Well, Apple. I made it... despite your directions"), the next OS X update killed it again, gave up, sold the mac.

Felt like an enourmous waste of money and time.
Everything You Need to Know About Ecommerce Marketing
What killed F# was Microsoft never putting enough internal resources on it. It's been consistently an afterthought in various releases of VS, initial .NET Core support, etc. As a C#/.NET Dev for 20 years, I've tried several a few times to use F# only to find broken tooling, lousy IDE support in VS (compared to C#, etc.) Jetbrains Rider supposedly has better F# support, but given Microsoft's lack of interest and a tiny community, I still can't be bothered to pick it up. I'm more likely to learn/use Elixir than F# at this point.
why would you take anyones word for anything? I'm sympathetic to the underdog that's being targeted so I have my bias, but I have a hard time watching any platform (I've never used parler) get targeted because of politics. I have a hard time believing that anyone truly believes parler was the primary reason DC riots happened just as I have a hard time understanding that people actually think this targeted de platforming will somehow create fewer extremists. In my mind it's rather obvious political targeting creates extremism and there are a number of platforms those extremists can use to communicate.
It's "fashionable" to hit Huawei and China, but more broadly this is East Asian culture. In many Japanese and Korean companies the reality is quite similar to what is described in this article (which is quite lopsided).

As China continues to open to the world, and Chinese go study abroad, I think that Chinese companies will slowly become more mindful of these issues.
Out of interest, have you worked in Chinese companies before, or just doing racial judgement?

Are we sure it's not actually a type of military endeavour?

Or is this just culturally how workers are generally treated in China?

Is there any hope for worker rights in China?

Has there actually been some conscious decision to treat industry as a type of warfare? After all, the lack of manufacturing competitiveness in the United States is actually considered by some to be a security issue.
You're mistaken, we've recordings and the temperatures increased, albeit not as much as predicted by models.

ASML, a Dutch semiconductor company, is a titan in the fab business. TSMC might be the world leader is chip fabrication, but the kit that they use is Dutch-sourced.
I'm a fan of both AMD and Intel, as companies and as investments.

Intel has taken flak in the past year, while AMD has been redeemed.

Still, Intel absolutely dominates the data center market, and its fab capacity is increasingly important due to the semiconductor shortage we are seeing as WFH becomes the norm and major automakers plunge head-first into mainstream EV projects.

AMD is awesome, but Intel 10th Gen and 11th Gen processors are still the cat's meow at the upper end of the notebook market. XPS13 uses Intel 11th Gen. MBP13 uses Intel 10th Gen. X1CG9 will use Intel 11th Gen.

There's a major lag time where the business community doesn't understand what's happening in the engineering side of the semiconductor industry. Research analysts and traders pay more attention to operating profit and other high-inertia metrics than the technology itself.

That's why AMD was trading $2 in 2016, and that's why INTC stock is down over 20% since January 2020 despite the massive shift to WFH and teleconferencing.

I personally think both companies are amazing. Their innovations have fostered inordinate amounts of human advancement relative to the profit that they have generated.

Your point seems to be that Intel's market dominance has not recently been marked by any watershed moments. I have to say, it's a fair point and I'm not in disagreement, but I also suggest that Intel is responsible for more than "tiny advancements."

In the larger context, we should be careful not to punish Intel for biting off more than it could chew. 10nm was a disaster, and 7nm is going to be late to the party. In my view, thermal waste is a major problem even for Intel's newest consumer-oriented x86 processors. However, Intel has thrown big money at every possible path to advancement for the sector as a whole. Computer vision for self-driving cars? They bought Mobileye. FPGAs? They bought Altera. Sure, many of their endeavors end in failure or spinoff, but there's certainly something special about a company that is willing to design AND fabricate any form of semiconductor technology that appears on the horizon.
The direct download is fast enough, 350MB at +5MB/s doesn't take long. I was surprised at the speed actually.
Why should metadata be a part of hashed content at all?
No, it starts out by showing you popular, random or slightly profiled content ("you appear to be a male in the 40s, so let's start here"), and then just maximizes the content types you were shown that would increase screen time.

This has nothing to do with your preferences/what you like. It doesn't care if you feel disgust, as long as the app stays open.

Suggestion/auto feeds are designed to abuse human psychology to maximize time wasted, not interest.
Python Training: 4 Big Things to Know About the Programming Language
An important mission or great workplace culture don’t pay for mortgage.
I've been maintaining a Node.js app for about five years and almost all dependencies have been "vendored"/locked with forked libraries because some of the dependencies have been abandoned, and some have switched owners where the new owner spend their days adding bugs to perfectly working code due to "syntax modernization", or where the maintainer didn't accept the pull request for various reasons. Software collaboration is not that easy, especially if it's done by people in their (very little) spare time.
Interesting, although i was actually trying to find algorithmic differences rather than intentional suppression.

Fnding which results are "boosted" would also be just as interesting to me as which are suppressed.

Even if it were theoretically possible or legally possible, it would remain practically impossible. You'd never even be able to get enough awareness of it for people to know about it, much less convince people to care.

You'll never get anything vaguely resembling a large enough percentage of Google's customers to matter to care about the issues at all.

I know that sounds dismissive, but if you step outside the "people who know and care about tech and privacy" bubble for a minute, it's plain as day. The overwhelming majority of people just don't care.

If anything, they like seeing more pertinent ads. They like that the Google Assistant tells them when there's traffic on their route and they need to leave early. They like the results, and they don't even realize there is a cost, much less one that should matter to them.

Just a quick point, Komodowaran appears to be the German name for the Komodo Dragon.
Anyone who repeatedly violates Twitter's ToS should be banned off of Twitter. Including Trump, Khomenei, the elected officials who incited violence with those who organised the summer riots / unrest and looting last year and anyone who participated in storming the Capitol.

Therefore, Trump should have been banned along time ago. Alongside others as well. Twitter just didn't have the guts to applying their own rules consistently.
Coming from a different country I don't really know why remote is not the default option.

Listening to a professor speaking to himself from a distance of 10 meters is an awful experience compared to a video recording that you can stop/rewind. Heck, you can even take some proper notes that you will actually understand!

For labs it's not like you get any help either. You just have to follow some instructions point by point and if you do not understand something, tough luck, the professor has already moved to the next exercise.

The worst part is that you have to spend 6-8 hours a day, 5 days a week like this and then you still need to find online materials to actually learn the thing. Some people have to work too.

Did I mention 2 hours of commute time every day?

And it certainly was. But sometimes you have well-appreciated macOS users that you have not yet managed to convert out of it. In that case, instead of throwing away your money you can easily [0] install a Catalina vm inside linux or windows. With a quite small effort, you can readily check that your program compiles and runs on that shitty system.

And they released the documentation for the hardware so you can feel free to join in and make the drivers better any time you like.

Which is about all we can ask of companies doing open source work. And it's still vastly more than most are doing.
Everything you've described is exactly the things they are short-sighted about - if you need to grow your business these are the things you need control and oversight over, and need to master. Betting your business on one horse (whose feet are tied) is just plain stupid.

Also, why should they give up their religion?
No, because people can judge his statements themselves.

Some allege he did incite violence, which could be true, but it is disputable. Liable are primarily those that act.

You could also say that the narrative of Russian interference had an impact on people, or the racial tensions, which were heated up by media and politicians and did result in violence as well.

So again here are two completely different standards applied.

To answer the questions:

1.) Doing something illegal probably.

2.) I am not a libertarian and in favor of strong social policies and not someone that believes FFA does work at all. With an exception to speech of course. Speech and thoughts are your own. I don't like vulgarity, but I have a low opinion on people that penalize others because of it. I am not in favor of regulation, I would ban those that ask to ban others. If you do not like what you read, read something else.

3.) Same question as 2. - Government regulation probably doesn't work.

4.) The end-result for governments setting the rules would basically be that few things controversial can be said and people would wander off to other platforms where they can speak their mind and have fun without big brother behind their backs.
> Mastery is achieved when you do

This is the important thing. I learned how to code on my own by reading/watching tutorials, then picking a project and working on it solving all the issues that come up. This works great but there's one huge catch: you need to have a TON of motivation, otherwise you'll drop it halfway because some times there's no one to guide you, to simplify things, explain another way, etc once you run into something you just don't get. By your own it can take 2 weeks solving an issue that could just take a couple of hours if there was someone to guide you more personally.

I managed to learn a lot of things this way at 18-19 year old, if I doudbt I could pull it off when I was younger than that when I had interests like football or being a rockstar.
I’ve been in software development for almost 10 years and I had no idea about service workers.

That's exactly the type of flippant remark that would pass through inoffensively as banter in other forums, but which gets downvoted to invisible quick smart on HN.

I suppose that's because other places exist as diversions or aimless time out, whereas HN seems to be a place to practice technical and commercial advocacy, or to explore intellectual leanings pointedly. Perhaps humour mostly gets in the way of that, or requires an extra cognitive hat that's easier to leave in the closet.

And/or perhaps humour works best amongst a known homogenous crowd, whereas HN is a pluralist, fragmented collection of knowledgeable individuals from different fields... ?
It tells more about what kind of content you are liking and watching than anything else.

Mine is filled with skaters, mom-daughter dumb jokes, silly lesbian/transgenders sheniningans.

There's sometimes weird things like a priest telling stupid jokes alone in his church and that korean guy doing asmr of burning bread in the oven.

On facebook I saw the death of participants in the events that happened on the 6th but that was in a journalist/news/media analyses group.

I see a lot of good vibes content on Tik-tok but that's what I am looking for on the platform. No doubt I could soon end up on indian train deaths if I wanted. Just like that time on Youtube when I saw that out of nowhere, I was looking for something totally unrelated to trains or india though.
Ask HN: My tech lead keeps re writing my code. What do I do?
He doesn't comment on it in PRs, or only makes minor comments. He lets things get approved by other people and then goes back and quietly rewrites it later and has his buddy approve it. Sure, my code could use some improvement occasionally. But it isn't that bad and he could just comment on it when I do a PR. He does not do this to anyone else.

I don't want this to be about the fact that I am a minority in tech and the only one on the team. But, I am pretty sure it is. My career has been blissfully absent of these kinds of issues thus far and I have no idea how to handle it.

There's a term for this: The Dr Fox Effect.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dr._Fox_effect
The problem for is me myriad whatsapp photos from family I receive and send.

For the photo camera, I am _seriously_ considering buying small SD cards for this.

As soon as I return from vacation I have between 200-1000 new photos.

Until now I moved them to my computer, then to the cloud and tried to clasify them as soon as I have some time (doing it on the cloud is not fast).

But SD prices are now a bargain. $5-10 for a "small 16GB" is more than enough for holidays.

I just need to:

1 - create a "contact card" with some remarkable photos
2 - and archive it with the SD card attached to it
3 - make a backup SD of the SD and contact card.

This should last at least 10 years.
