> In C++ a lambda may not be convertible to a function pointer if the captured context is non zero sized, and if the captured context is larger than the size of a pointer it must use some kind of dynamic allocation

You are mixing things up here. A lambda will never require memory allocation, regardless of its size: https://godbolt.org/z/Mebn4h

std::function can't get around memory allocation for sufficiently large functor objects, but that is a matter of how libraries implement type erasure for functors and has nothing to do with the lambda expressions of the core language.
Not sure how that's relevant to the discussion.
Great device. Remember my first time experience with hackable router using openwrt, it was like miracle. I'm not feeling comfortable anymore when working with vendor-locked platforms.
> But then announcing you’ll invest in “black businesses” seems questionable.

Again, read it as investing in "Black businesses also". That's what makes it different than mainstream investing, which invests in "Black businesses rarely, if ever." (And controversial! See other comments here.)

> I don’t think many VCs have that as an explicit policy.

Search for VCs explicitly saying they look for entrepreneurs who "pattern match" or "look like Mark Zuckerberg" etc. They are as explicit as possible without breaking the law. Regardless of intent, even accidental disparities create gaps that bring opportunities.
The system is so convoluted that nobody knows where the money is going. Every player can point their finger at someone else and say: "Those people are gouging you." But every player has an investment stake in the other players[0]. It means, when it comes right down to it, they're all gouging us.

Seconding folks re: some of the advantages on latency, efficiency, etc.

I also wouldn't describe it as "just" a emulator, or to think of it as something interpreting / emulating some digital logic. It's much lower level than this, in that it is actually implementing your design in real hardware (consisting of lookup tables / logic gates / memory cells, etc. all "wired" together.

As such, they can be useful not only for implementing some custom bits of glue logic (e.g. interfaces which need high speed serialization / deserialization of data), or accelerating a particular calculation, but also for anywhere you need to have really deterministic performance in a way that isn't easy or even possible to do in software / an emulator alone.
> Consumers must be experts

You're right, the reason I said "price" in quotes is that it's usually both intellectual and financial. Very few can afford to be experts and make the right choice, then pay for that choice.

The confusion related to the driving force is that people imagine more choices means more competition, and this must bring lower price and higher quality. In reality profit is the driving force and profit can come just as well from low cost, low quality as from high cost, high quality. Abundance brings in a drift between these 2 ends of the spectrum, you get extreme low cost with low quality, and extreme high quality with high cost.

Most people have no intellectual budget to afford identifying the correct option, or the financial budget to acquire it. This gets compounded and has some network effects so the more low price, low quality choices they make, the lower their chances of gaining the necessary budget to recover.

Search engines typically surface what people search for based on some semi-secret sauce. That’s all good.

What’s not good is overriding those results not because of keyword bids, but because they deem the link inappropriate despite a lack of some oversight like a court injunction.

They simply don’t like one side of the conversation. It’s not as though people on the other side don’t have extreme opinions and have their sites black-holed.
Bacteria too, gut biome is a thing and an interesting symbiosis.

In a sense one can argue that all the processes going on in the body (thinking of e.g. white blood cells) is also a form of symbiosis.

His intent might not be malicious, but accusing the other person of doing something to undermine free software that's so bad it should be "cancelled" is not very nice.

He certainly isn't advocating for code being free here, it's literally the opposite.

The final-straw tweets were after the riots had subsided, and were largely innocuous. But Twitter cited that they were being interpreted (as evidenced by replies) as calling for violence. For example, a tweet that said "I will not be at the inauguration" was interpreted as "If you attack the inauguration I won't be harmed."

So it's not so much a case where something finally crossed the line. And if you look just at the removed content you'd say "I don't see the big deal". It's more the pattern: the sum total of what he said was interpreted as calling for violence -- not reading into it by outsiders, but in the actions and the words of the people taking them. YouTube, Twitter, and others don't want to be in the spotlight if future communications are interpreted that way.

If there hadn't been violence, he'd still be on these media. But there has been, and what changes suddenly is that people who said "These will cause violence" now say "These did cause violence, and there will be more if you don't do something before rather than after the fact".

The content that was removed is readily available if you'd like to read it, but you'll find it underwhelming.
I know this was in response to the riots, but there's also a global pandemic on, and even before this the government specifically asked that people do not come to visit for the inauguration.

Frankly I wish they'd have done this months ago.
Am I the only one that is even slightly concerned about where all of this is heading?

What happens if you decide that in fact it is not good that Biden instigated a war with the next brown country that is going to get it because the American war machine has lust in its eye and psychopathic military brass needs a promotion for a fatter pension and benefits that depends on killing people somewhere, anywhere?

So is this the paradigm for when protests happen that the government and corporations don't like and just want to shut down? No, I know, they would never shut down your righteous cause and protest because you are the good bois.

They'll simply not let you board a plane (maybe even put you too on a no fly list?)? Not rent a car to you? Deny you a hotel/airbnb, possibly for life? Your apps/phones stop working within a geofence around any government building? You can't eat in a restaurant? You cannot buy anything by payment processor/visa/MC? The only left over mega corporations will not take cash?

People who have done this, which is overwhelmingly on the "left" side of the spectrum, should really take a pause and think really long and really hard about what they have unleashed here; because no matter what I don't see how this demon will be put back into pandora's box without full collapse. Once you have relinquished control over your life to the government/corporate fascist type alliance, you can ask nicely all you want, you aren't getting that power over your life back from these types of people by any peaceful means. History is replete with the proof after proof for how this will all play out unfortunately.
That type of commentary is definitely crude and distasteful, ignorant at least - however OP's points still stands. Downvotes are a weapon of oppression, not only to readers but it also allows others to easily dismiss something - to turn an impulse or urge into a simple downvote click for a hit of dopamine, so arguably it's suppressing and perhaps placating others who feel strong enough emotion where they feel the need to act - but instead of a qualitative response so we can see if their criticism is critical, they get to act with a click.
Quite a lot of the latter, it seems. People are more than willing to give a pass to social media / IaaS acting monopolistically because they don't like the people who were targeted.

Eventually, the shoe will be on the other foot, and then there will be threads at the top of the front page decrying these companies' behavior because the community does like the people who were targeted.

I really wish more people could look beyond two inches in front of their face and see the bigger picture. This pattern is not healthy.
The only trouble is that the last time I checked there was no sync client for Linux.
Thanks for the heads-up. Weird, it uses Let's Encrypt, and I don't see any problems :/
I guess Windows doesn't break their compatibility almost ever. Linux doesn't break user-space, but of course the libraries you depend on might change in a few decades.
> And the 30% that you mention that run VMs... Wouldn't they be pretty happy if Intel added dedicated CPU instructions to make VMware better?

They have this today. What would make them happier is cutting power utilization by half or more, which is looking quite possible with non-Intel Silicon.

Dropbox had acquired the Mailbox email client in 2013, but then shut it down in 2015. This was a very annoying turn of events for people who used the app prior to the acquisition.
> If your dependency is used by more than one package within the distribution, it should be split out and not vendored...

That's like going back to square-one: Dependency Hell [1]. That's a regression, not a solution.

I believe the problem is not at the edges (OS packaging, software developers), but in the middle: The dependency handling in programming languages.

I.e. you need to be allowed to install multiple versions of a library under the same "environment" and activate the version you want at launch time (interpreted languages) or build time (compiled languages).

> The high-level design is proprietary too.

They have source code files for their 'Freedom' core designs up on GitHub under an Apache 2.x license. These can be directly used to evaluate their designs as FPGA soft-cores.
> just a lot of people see those options as beneath them or as just too hard of work.

This might be true for some people, but don't forget that many of the available jobs are also very low-paying. People may not want to settle for the subpar quality of life that US minimum wage jobs afford them.
Pat completely missed the boat on building a VMWare cloud when AWS started taking off. Can't say I'm enthused for Intel.
It is not meaningless at all. Twitter has no bearing on agreements between AWS and Parler. Just because Parler considers them a competitor doesn't mean they have anything to do with a two-party contract when they aren't a party to it.

Thank you for the explanations and your hard work!

How stable is Ory? How often will breaking changes occur during the next months/years? Can you provide an ETA for the cloud service?
I would gently suggest then that you take some time to read up on the history of racial discrimination, as well as the efforts that have been taken to stop it and attempt to undo some of the long-lasting damage. Discrimination and the tools to fix the outcomes have been extensively discussed and debated in society for decades, and simplistic comparisons like "but if opened a coffee shop…?" don't add any value.
Untrue, Microsoft is much much more open (yes it hurts to say that) in that regard.
It will escalate to a lot more than slapping, if enough people keep this attitude.

So the accusation is they're not linking directly to 8chan or whatever the latest iteration is?

I find myself not being able to care, even on principle.
When routers are ordered in bulk from ISPs in certain countries, the ISP is the customer, not the end user. The ISP often doesn’t want the end user to be able to do things like enable IPv6 and things that could boost the effectiveness of Bittorrent. A closed-source design ensures that only the ISP can change certain settings.
I would agree he isn't good at his job based on what you said, but also not even considering your diet. I've had stomach issues for a lot of my life, and my doctor was very good about asking my questions, and helping me figure out what might help me, including diet changes.
In my other comment here, I suggested a solution to the duplication problem - you can downvote only if you either create a reply or upvote an existing reply (as a sign of agreement).
It's against the Terms of Service, which may or may not have legal implications based on where you are. However, Apple doesn't really give a shit unless you're going to profit off of it. The Hackintosh community has been around for ages and Apple doesn't do anything unless someone starts selling pre-installed Hackintoshes.
Fully agreed with the headline. The Old World is severely behind in terms of tech investments. I can write pages about how the stock market is treated as a game or gambling in Germany, and about how private wealth-building is actively discouraged by the government thanks to ever more creative taxes.
To another point:

> Projects such as Hardt Hyperloop, one of Europe’s most advanced hyperloop projects, would need €25-€30bn to build its first real track, and the company is struggling to get it. It is the kind of sum that only governments can provide — but tech funding on this scale is rare in Europe.

Is a Hyperloop project tech or is it infrastructure?
> Sorry, you can’t order these books from Amazon, because your IP has been detected visiting Parler.com

Forget books, imagine if they did that same analysis and shutdown your AWS accounts because your IP matched one that logged into Parler.

It isn't unreasonable that people wish to publicly express their discontent with the choice their peers made even if they don't believe any rules were broken. My own state saw a lot of protests when a certain politician was elected governor despite no one seriously suggesting the election was rigged in his favor.

If nothing else, it shows the incoming politician that they do not have the support of a large number of their constituents and therefor have no claim to a mandate.
There's a report option. If something is dangerously wrong, then put the effort into saying so - perhaps explaining why; the person who posted the content that's "dangerously wrong" won't learn that either if no one shares it with them.

This is a common dev thought. But almost no company in the world is going to care about that. You can onboard some consumer with that point but I hope they don't actually try to sign companies using that.

My instinct is with yours, but in some very simple use cases, it can make sense.

For example, you've got a legacy PHP web application you have to maintain, and it's got spaghetti code all over the place, but all uploaded user content is stored / served from a single directory. You can probably use an S3-backed file system to replace that directory.

Obviously if you try to do, say, an "ls -la" on that directory and there are a lot of files in there, you may be waiting a while, since that translates to a lot of API calls. Similarly if you have something like a virus scan running on the box, it's likely to be tripped up.

But if you know the only thing using that directory is doing simple CRUD operations, it might be easier than trying to retrofit the application itself to talk to S3. Especially now that S3 has strong consistency.
You can install openwrt on x86. Grab an old desktop PC (or laptop) and if it has built in GigE it might be enough, depending on the processor. Worst case buy an Intel NIC and you're off.

Alternately get an Edgerouter X and install openwrt on that.
Probably only because you don't know much about them.

Alphabet by itself is far more evil than FB could ever hope for, and they have just started. Other companies directly cause cancer by the millions, or have single-handedly eliminated whole species.
Funnily enough, if FOSS developers abandoned the platform, Apple itself would make sure no programs could run after a few releases because they just love changing core APIs.

I basically don't let anything but the package manager touch /usr. Too many mysteriously issues in systems that had gotten screwed up. It's extremely rare that it's necessary for any project: if you need to build and install some other project you can generally just install in a directory dedicated to any single codebase you may be working (with appropriate PATH adjustments which can be sources from a shell script so they are isolated from the rest of the system). I really dislike tutorials and guides which encourage just blindly installing stuff into system managed areas but it's rife.
$1.4 billion. Wow. That's a lot of dough.

I feel like 202x might be another decade where no new chip making companies emerge. I had great hopes for Nuvia becoming one of them. My first most primitive reaction is that this is like another PA Semi[1]: great talent & new prospects, fresh air, vanishing into one of the super-massive existing players.

Qualcomm does some open source work, but most of the support comes from outside engineers reverse engineering their products or otherwise doing the work[2]. The Freedreno graphics driver for example allows their gpu to be used (OpenGL, Vulkan drivers), & has been a huge effort. That work mostly comes from Google engineers like Rob Clark (who started Freedreno iirc), Eric Anholt, Igalia engineers like Danil, & countless others[3].

In the wifi-router world, where Qualcomm also has a huge presence, we rely on hunting around for open-source code drops of what usually seems like pretty old but better than we've got code, such as this recent find[4], which is hopefully going to help us catch a couple years up in support level to what Qualcomm is doing today.

Nuvia explicitly stated they wanted to chase hyperscaler market. And I think a lot of this was positioning. That hyper-scalers wanted good tech, would use good tech. Where-as a lot of the world, they want what they have but better, a lot of legacy concerns, hand holding. Nuvia wanted to build a new platform, a good, well supported platform, with next-gen technologies. We were all expecting open-source perhaps Rust-based firmwares & management systems, pursuant to latest OpenCompute Project specs &c. They were clear about targetting hyper-scalers, & big chips, but somehow the hope always was that they'd help reform & reshape computing & what was available to everyone. They certainly talked the good game, sounded real good on Twitter. Ah well.

Dependency hell is a result of not using sensible semantic versioning. If libraries are properly versioned, it's easy to make sure that each dependency uses the latest compatible version.
Some places are handling the pandemic ok, I've felt like the larger problems have been: politicizing the problem, those living in denial and propaganda that minimized the threat. Regrettably climate change faces those same issues.
There is so much proof of fraud that people are turning a blind eye to it's baffling. Not only are there thousands of affidavits, the violation of Benford's law also raises red flags.

Naturally the media is going to go to bat for the side they support, as they always do, but the evidence is overwhelming that something fishy occurred.
