You can disable Gatekeeper.
If you're doing something embedded nothing prevents you implementing multiply but not divide. RISC-V gcc has an option to use an instruction for multiply but runtime library call for divide.

In fact, even if you claim to implement the M extension (both multiply and divide) all that is necessary is that programs using those opcode work -- but that can be via trap and emulate. If your overall system can run binaries with multiply and divide instructions in them then you can claim M-extension. Whether the performance is adequate is between you and your customers. Note that there are also vast differences in performance between different hardware implementations of multiply and divide, with 32-64 cycle latencies not unheard of.

The same applies for implementing a subset of other extensions in hardware. You can implement the uncommon ones in the trap handler if that will meet your customer's performance needs.
Dropbox:

- CPU runaway consumption on OSX.

- Annoying off-on drive storage paradigm.

- Annoying integration with other apps (eg. Excel).

- Little differentiation from competition.

- Poor integration with their other offerings (eg. Paper).

But most importantly, a complete failure of vision and innovation. There are 5 or 6 initiatives they could implement now that would turn the tide.
These projects are a good start for that:

Moderna’s overnight vaccine success was 33 years in the making
I’m the only person I’ve ever met in the US who did a colonoscopy without any sedation. It was a little uncomfortable the same way bad cramps are uncomfortable, but great being able to go on with my day.

The nurses were very uncomfortable with the whole thing, the doctor had to come in and assure them it was fine. Since it was preventative I didn’t save any money by forgoing anesthesia (I HATE anesthesia, and my mother had had psychotic episodes after coming out of anesthesia, so I’m cautious). The whole procedure was fast and it was interesting to be awake.
Exactly, there is no reason to use single sign on when Keepass + some cloud storage has you covered.
How does Ory compare to alternatives like e.g. Keycloak and Authelia?

From experience, can anyone make a recommendation for a system that can be rolled out to an organization with confidence (long-term support, security, performance)?

C has VLAs, so sizeof is a runtime operation. That's already more complex than C++, where sizeof is fixed at compile time.

Not to prove it always-winning; you only have to go down every possible branch for the other player for that (i.e. √ of the number of states you'd otherwise need). To find it, though? Well, unless you hit lucky, you're going to be considering pretty much every possible game or state, except where you can find shortcuts.

What about the device you’re writing this from? I bet it was assembled by the same kind of labor. This isn’t limited to “Apple customers”, so don’t act like it is.

It’s currently impossible to buy a good performing smartphone that has been ethically manufactured.
I agree with your market breakdown, but surely not with your assessment.

In the consumer segment, you have regular people trying to make vacation videos with software like Adobe Premiere and Adobe Media Encoder, or Magix. Nvenc quality is bad. AMD is horribly slow. The only fast high quality encode is with Intel's dedicated CPU instructions, which both apps heavily promote to their users.

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?

I agree that for the work that I do, AMD is as good as or better. But people doing highly parallelizable tasks like compiling are the minority.
Before calling the person "stupid", read the article. He has bipolar disorder, and it's agony trying to live with it so people will be desperate to take measures to ease the pain.
Too bad for Dropbox and other companies HN people are not the only ones.

There are at least two big variables here:

1 - Is the new UI actually better? by how much?

2 - What's the cost of change for the existing users?

Bonus complexity: There are large groups of different customers inside your customer base.

If your product is the best ever with no competitor in sight you can annoy them almost indefinitely, the second anything remotely similar appears, all the built up resentment just fuels the migration and it usually behaves like a tsunami, at first it's barely noticeable until a 3 foot wall keeps going and going and you can't do anything about it.
Most gastroenterologists are like that. You want a diagnosis then you need a very recent colonoscopy. And that's a quick $1000+ hour for them, of which they will do many in a given week. But what else can they do?
Just bought a WRT3200ACM about a month ago to replace the isp-provided router... Slapped OpenWRT on it and... It's a dream.
The compiler tricks can only get you so far. I administered a HPC cluster and we have a lot of software dependent on MKL and BLAS. However, with the lucrative performance boost AMD seems to put out, open source libraries like BLIS and open BLAS are attempting to fill gaps. Trust me, no one likes the intel lock-in if there is an alternative that is even close enough in performance.
You may have a postmodern version in mind, but the actual Gresham’s law doesn’t involve any hard decisions. It says that when using coins made of precious metals, people will always spend the lightest coins they have. A perfectly rational and simple behavior that causes all the circulating coins to be underweight.
From the article:

That seems to match what I wrote above.
It doesn't have to be another clone. For example Quip was acquired by Sales and there are tons of modern collaboration software tools like Airtable, Notion, Slack, etc. They could've created a suite that was tailored around that while leveraging their existing integrations with Office.

Also people forget Box.com exists and does an even better job with corporate storage than Dropbox with much better features and UX.
I am not on Twitter, but wasn't #HangMikePence trending a few days ago? Isn't it a bit hypocritical when one of the biggest social network is allowed to do the same thing?

No, corporate social justice usually means low impact changes that don’t affect the bottom line.

Microsoft mocks Facebook and it doesn't go down well
I break up the home network into multiple cidr blocks and have corresponding iptables rules for them on my router. My router is just running Linux. IPTables counters show me bandwidth up and down for each subnet. Each family member has their own subnet and outbound snat. I reset the counters monthly. This is just for info now, as I spent about 45 minutes with their call center negotiating a new plan that does not include that ridiculous cap. You can also pay them an extra fee per month to avoid the cap if you know you will be going over it and don't want to negotiate plans with them.

If your router supports having OpenWRT [1] installed, you can monitor bandwidth with bwmon.

But they would seem to be alone in their refusal to moderate them.
I don't think the other social media designers deliberately optimised for shock value and conflict. I think that was a side-effect of a naïve optimising algorithm: short term (i.e. until people just quit the social media platform entirely), conflict and doomscrolling are two of the most engaging behaviours.
Thank you, appreciate it a lot! Regarding your questions:

1. Almost never - it's a lot of work to get from a library to a server that has a strong persistence layer, is scalable, has all the management around it (e.g. write and create clients). Also, upgrading a server is much easier than upgrading a library!
2. We plan to have ORY Kratos v0.6 out of alpha (what we call sandbox) and in "incubating" status. That means that we feel confident that APIs won't change as much an more but there is still risk that you have to deal with some breaking changes. For version 1.0 it is probably going to land in 2022, as we usually stay 1 year in sandbox, 1 year in incubating and if everything has stabilized go to stable. Having said that, you can still use this stuff in prod. For us, alpha/sandbox just means: "Careful, there will be breaking changes!". But we never release insecure, untested or half-baked stuff.
I hope this means they are at least going to try to catch Apple. The complete lack of effort by them on the CPU side has been sad. Given hardware timelines, though, I'm sure any improvement is many years away.
Fully Managed Sccache as a Service
Hi Everyone,

I am thinking to build Fully Managed Sccache As A Service for distributed compilation for Rust.
Will you think service like that is helpful?

How do you try to cut down the build time in Rust?
I think you focus only on the social media impact. The bigger issue is that social cooling is not limited to social media. The larger issue, for me, appears to be that it affects person to person interactions and makes it harder and harder to have an 'adult' conversation with people without adding niceties ( would you kindly consider the possibility of helping me if you are not too busy vs get over here ) or current set of society mandates ( for example, finding 'preferred' pronouns ).

“you feel you are being watched, you change your behavior.”

Social cooling is bad. It makes things hidden, where they simmer and build up. It is not good for the individual and it tends to not to be good for society in general, because it is channeled and not always in healthy ways.

In a sense, I agree with you. It is an adaptation, but I am not convinced it is a good one.
Personally I've always wanted to see two things in education, or rather one thing in two parts: to be able to verbally "test out" of a written exam or even an entire semester-long class. This can be handled over Skype/Zoom, if need be.

That is, allow students to have a discussion with the professor to see if they know the test material. If so, "great, here's your grade". Same with entire semester classes ("great, here's your 3 credits").
Funny enough I think Basecamp must have realized this exact niche a few years ago because they now offer all three of those for small business.
It seemed to my unaided eye that the only reasonable point in the lawsuit from Parler was that they were given 30ish hours notice and the contract required 30 days.

AWS have addressed that point.
Clickbait is about links to subpar/worthless content.

This is just a teasing/enticing title to well researched and detailed content.

Wikipedia re: clickbait:

"something designed to make readers want to click on a hyperlink, especially when the link leads to content of dubious value or interest" (...) "A more commonly used definition is a headline that intentionally over-promises and under-delivers."

Blog writers don't owe HN readers anything specific, nor are they beholden to them to give them the titles/content they like. Besides clickbait there is such a thing as wanting a nice title to grab the readers attention as opposed to some description that gives away your whole ruse inside the article (which is the point here).
I have to say I have literally never once had the thought that Dropbox is in my way. I have a 3TB pro account which I have setup on my studio computer with full sync to an external drive. I record/work on sessions with sync continually active. Both of those things should be "no no"'s, but it works fine.

I go home and my laptop is smart syncing the recently active sessions only which conserves space on the laptop drive but lets me do some small work on recently active sessions.

It's totally seamless and I cannot recall the last time I was even alerted by Dropbox about anything except that I was hitting my 3TB cap soon.

The only issue I ever had was using it on Windows where it would occasionally create conflicted file copies, which was annoying, but moving to OSX resolved that.
> They already have ultimate power over Google since they can simply go elsewhere

I always think this kind of "free market" thinking is spoken by people with an incredibly narrow world view.

You, personally, might be aware of all the evils and ills to which these companies subject their users, but the average consumer is blissfully ignorant or simply doesn't care.

You might be educated or enlightened enough to be aware of the risks these services pose, but again most people aren't. Is the average WhatsApp user (especially in the huge markets such as India where people are generally poorer and less highly educated) really going to care about the implications of privacy policies etc.?

Those users aren't even going to think about switching to a competing service because (e.g.) all their friends and contacts use WhatsApp.

When a company gets as big as Google, Facebook, etc. then competition starts to not matter and that's why the "free market" idea holds zero weight.
Yup. I rarely use WireGuard but it’s a great app and the response here made me go and donate on their website.
There was no reaction. This is normal. The unfiltered internet is full of inappropriately sexual ads.
> My doctor requested that I get a diagnostic colonoscopy. Because I needed one under my insurance plan I had to pay the full cost, over $3k. If I didn't need one it would be a "screening" colonoscopy, and covered in full by the insurance.

A similar, but at least nowhere near as expensive, gotcha in many US insurance plans happens with annual checkups. Many plans fully cover an annual check up with no deductible or co-pay.

But during that checkup if you mention some issue that the doctor does not specifically find or ask about as part of the standard checkup, you might find that your insurance company counts that visit as a diagnostic visit or a treatment visit, not a checkup visit, and you pay the normal office visit deductible or co-pay.

If you ask something that takes significant time for the doctor to deal with that might make sense, but I’ve read of it happening for things like you tell the doctor that you get sore wrists after a full day on the keyboard and the doctor spends a minute telling you about taking breaks and giving you some ergonomics tips.
Do you have a reason to think the matrix instructions in the M1 are not those specified in Armv8.6-A?

> I think this sounds like a paradox for those who don't realize that the driving force in the market is profit not quality.

Profit is the driving force in every rational market and the quality/price tradeoff is a huge factor in valuation of goods. A big problem is information asymmetry. Consumers must be experts on every product they buy while producers only have to be experts on the products they sell. Some consumers do not prioritize being experts on food and so undervalue nutritional/dietary properties and overvalue appearance, flavor, and convenience which require less expertise. A related effect is the paradox of choice making it difficult to judge the best value from a selection of seemingly identical products and this may also play a role in poor nutritional choices.

The problem is excaserbated by mass advertising that promises foods are healthy or meet certain dietary guidelines while eliding the fact that the products should be eaten sparingly and not as a staple, or by directly advertising that a cheap food is shiny and yummy.
Based on some information found on internet, Colossus is built on top of GFS, which use BigTable (or Spanner) as the meta store, and the BigTable still use GFS.

The recent GFS may have multiple masters[1], but they are separate namespace, similar to HDFS federation.

The others are generally not supported on Linux. Dropbox has a cli client here that mostly works. At least if we are talking Google/Microsoft. Or the companies are small enough to go under overnight and leave me in a lurch
Dropbox is also to blame for user's expectations, because they did offer more in the past, for free.
Type inference is great and undeserving of the "bah humbug" type comments. Not a fan of it in function return types but that's easy to avoid in code review or linting (both of which you need plenty in C).

The closure proposal is much more interesting. I skimmed the discussion and it points out many of the benefits and some syntax proposals, but I'm wondering about memory management.

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. C++ has scoped destructors, making implementation of that relatively straightforward (free the context when the lambda goes out of scope), but what would C require? Defer statements? Require a free() without matching call to malloc?

Closures in C are still possible using void* as a user context, which is common both for closure semantics in libraries as well as implementing closures in languages transpired to or interpreted in C. The memory management is explicit, the types remain explicit (except for the closed over context), albeit a bit verbose.

As much as I love functions as types and programming with them I'm confused how this is a positive feature for C, which lacks some of the semantics that other languages have making closures sensible.
I don't think all snakes use sidewinding. If they don't, an interesting test of this would be to put them in a sidewinding environment (e.g., sand dunes) and see if they discover it.

I’m very curious how successful Instagram Reels is ever since they began their hard push of it. It’s never in the news but from my perspective engagement seems to be doing pretty well, and has much tighter e-commerce integration compared to TikTok too.

Makes me wonder if TikTok is paying its biggest influencers to not post there.
The question IMHO is, if people want to have a discussion, do downvotes without an explanation help to facilitate it?

I don't think they do; there are many ways to disagree, while with agreement there is often little to add.

Therefore, downvoting a comment should always require either upvote to a direct reply or another reply. Then this reply can also be judged for its value.

I understand some people are tired of hearing the same old argument, or a wrong fact, and so they downvote without response. But consider that you're doing the moderation for others, not yourself. If you're tired of explaining the problem (even in the obvious cases, with one word), then perhaps do not get involved at all in negative moderation.

Of course, the things that are obviously spam or offtopic should be deleted, not just downvoted, and that should be a different mechanism.
Ya but they deleted that trend and those tweets and users violated the guidelines and were warned, suspended, etc.

Parler refused to do anything about it and built their whole business on being a safe space for people wanting to incite and plan violence. That’s the difference.
Show HN: Windows 7 Simulator is damn cool
It's funny because the reason anyone cares about this whole episode is that some people felt the need to play a white knight in the developer's mailbox.

The smarter people will quit the Apple platform, and the dumber ones will quit the software whose creators refuse to put up with the Apple bullshit (plus some that try to put up with it but Apple arbitrarily fails their review anyway).
Leaving aside the discution regarding the monopoly position of AMAZON (or other technology companies), I wonder if the PARLER situation would not have been the same if it had gone to any other company offering the same services and used a pre-ownership platform.
If they had developed their own stack, wouldn't their flexibility have been greater?
Are subjective professional standards ever provably true?

But to focus on that part of the statement misses the point of this example from the article: it's about what the individual is likely to believe predicted from a single datum. The objective truth of those beliefs isn't relevant.
I don't generally use the downvote button to express disagreement, but I do use it to say "Yeah, this is a violation of the rules and not cool and doesn't belong here."

And if it's egregious enough, I will flag it.

As someone who is a demographic outlier, I'm okay with getting downvotes as part of the feedback mechanism for trying to figure out how to navigate this social space. I think it's problematic to err too far in the direction of "Everyone needs to be nicey-nice to everyone all the time, no matter what they really think or feel about it."
Functional yet beautiful way of organizing and viewing links
And that's why the commenter wants people to not touch C - if C doesn't change then the workplace won't change too.
AWS should have no responsibilities on what is on the platform and it is also not taking all the responsibilities, so it should not pretend taking one.

That is totally legal process's role. Anyone hope a A decide what B should do for C is just not understanding the dynamics in human society.
