Because that requires investment. If they make that investment and are wildly successful at taking market share from x86 then ARM will become a much more valuable company. Buying ARM allows Nvidia to capture that value.

This is a real problem when some of that investment is porting/tuning various open source projects to make them run well on ARM. Such work would benefit the whole ARM ecosystem, including competitors who sell ARM based chips. At which point, owning ARM starts to look sensible.
I’ve been to the Bell Labs Holmdel office in the 90s, and every single parking spot was taken, and with a mixed residential development it must be even more in demand. The article spouts a lot of trendy urban-planner ideology, trying to shoehorn facts into a predetermined narrative like hostility to cars. See this blog for why those policies are so misguided:

The Fed can increase its overnight rate to 20% or 200% in one meeting. There is no situation ever where inflation of the sort you're talking about can't be instantly and completely killed.

Supply shock inflation (oil embargo) is a different matter.
Sadly I didn't keep any notes on the producers or grapes. I trust my pals not to bring back cheek puckering bags of vinegar :) Also these are 10 litre duty-free boxes which the equivalents would be eye wateringly expensive in the UK due to the tax our government slaps on wine. So I have to wait until their next trip (who knows when?) for another lot.
You left out the massive travel connections to China and putting experts in charge of the response. The United States wasn’t deluged with spread from Mexico and Canada, and there is no reason why we couldn’t have used the same airport quarantine system they used, public mask requirements, and paying inherently unsafe businesses like indoor dining to close until spread was under control.

The difference is that our response was dictated by political calls made by people who famously dislike expertise whereas the countries I mentioned followed scientific principles. The earlier SARS outbreak helped but the US CDC was hardly unaware of that - this is almost exactly a practice scenario they used years before in the Obama-era playbook the Trump administration ignored. The 2019 HHS exercise had travelers to China bringing back a novel influenza variant but otherwise was very similar: no antiviral drugs or vaccine, depleted PPE stockpiles, local governments refusing to close schools and restaurants, etc.
> The Python core devs did not have the time or motivation to support the old codepaths

Then sounds like they didn't want to be python devs anymore, good luck on their new project..

Instead they held onto the reins and drove python into the ground so that their new code could devour the remains of the old.

> They didn't realize how inadequate their migration tooling was

A shame then that they decided that migration was mandatory. They don't need to know either, they just have to encourage users to migrate, rather than force them to. Saying "They didn't realize ... how very entrenched Python 2 is" is basically saying "we didn't think we'd encounter (significant) resistance". Their "hopeful aspirations" was that everybody (that mattered) would be onboard, which is why they didn't bother ask..
Ask HN: Best service to translate an SPA?
The last time my team had to do this we fired off a spreadsheet with the keys, English text, and an empty column for the translation to a translation service, and then loaded the result into the i18n lib we were using at the time. But we later got feedback from native speaking users that the context of the translation was sometimes incorrect or could have been better.

I feel like it would have helped the translator if they could see the text in the actual application to aid them with the context.

Have things improved since last time?

> If I told you that the U.S. was “93.3% American”, would you conclude that the U.S. is a homogeneous country? Because that’s exactly what everyone who cites the “98% Japanese” statistic is doing for Japan.

I find this mentality to be quite common when talking to U.S.A.-men, the conception that “U.S.A.” is not an “ethnicity” but all other countries are.

I remember a thread on 4chan a while back that asked for the user's ethnicity that had two kinds of replies: A) a country other than U.S.A.; B) a so-called “race”.

That was not the only part that piqued my interest; the other part was there were a great deal of replies that, seemingly correctly assumed that all the replies that listed a race must be from the U.S.A., inciting such vintage 4chan responses as “Race is not an ethnicity, burgerfag. Just say you're from the U.S.A..”.

I have definitely noticed this specific quirk of U.S.A.-men, an assumption that other countries are races, and that when I for instance say that I am “Dutch", that comes with the assumption that I am also “white”.

> Yep, you read that right. Japan’s government doesn’t go around asking people what race they are. A curious behavior for a country that’s supposedly obsessed with racial purity, no?

Such census too seem to be an U.S.A. idiosyncrasy.

Most countries do not track this, as far as I know. There are no Dutch statistics on the matter either because it's pure self-report. There are statistics on how much of the Dutch population is a first generation immigrant, and second generation immigrant, which is more objective, but that's it.

I have been acquainted with the knowledge that when applying for, say, a university position or even a vocational one, that in the U.S.A. one is frequently asked for one's “race”. This would seem highly suspicious in my milieu.

Restaurants and wine bars who sell high end wines. These Coravin type devices have enable people to order expensive Burgundy or Barolos etc by the glass which were previously not offered by the glass as the unit economics weren't there. It's been a real boon for wine aficionados and wine bars alike. Also wine reps reseal bottles with gas as they generally pour glasses for their accounts and then put the opened bottle back in their trunk for the next account to sample. You would not reseal a $10-20 dollar bottle of wine.

> the security argument is advanced mostly as justification for blocking even unobtrusive ads by people who love to both complain about the terrible state of "mainstream media"

Here are documented instances of malvertising I collated over the years, and which is by no mean comprehensive and which I haven't taken the time to update in a long while:

https://github.com/gorhill/uBlock/wiki/Dynamic-filtering:-Be...

Additionally, excerpt from CISA's "Securing Web Browsers and Defending Against Malvertising for Federal Agencies"[1]:

> Ad-blocking software prevents advertisements from displaying or removes different types of ads (e.g., pop-ups, banner ads) when a user visits a website or uses an application. This software reduces a user’s risk in receiving malicious ads or being redirected to malicious websites. One common ad-blocking technique is the use of web browser extensions that enable a user or agency to customize and control the appearance of online ads. CISA encourages agencies to evaluate solutions that would enable malicious ad blocking.

I’ve been saying for a while I’m pretty sure I can hire decent developers based on a conversation and not the assault course hiring process that’s normally used.

Now I’m sure for certain roles, highly specialised stuff that isn’t true. But I tend to be hiring for teams building pretty standard stuff, line of business tools, general saas products, etc. For this you just need smart, reasonably experienced people who are easy to get along with and ask decent questions.
I think what people see as weird is `dd bs=1024 if=/dev/sr0 of=/home/jason/sr0.iso`, instead of `dd --block-size 1024 --in-file /dev/sr0 --out-file /home/jason/sr0.iso`. It's a bit non-standard, but it's really not bad.

It's probably not that accurate though, like you would be able to tell what Denisovans looked like generally, but not what a Denisovan looked like with any accuracy.

For modern human individuals it's pretty limited to 'obvious' traits like eye color, hair color, and skin color.

dd has the advantage of specifying a larger buffer. I've seen for example that in MacOS writing an image to a SD card with the internal reader of my macbook is a lot faster with a block size of 1M in respect to the classical 4k.

Also the advantage of dd is that you can run it with sudo easily, while with cat it will not work, since the redirection is done by the shell and not the cat binary itself, and you either have to open a root shell, or pipe the output of cat in `sudo tee filename >/dev/null` that is less than ideal.

Also I think the problem is of Linux that lets you write on disks that are mounted. In MacOS is forbidden and you must umount the drive (so overwriting your root partition by error is impossible).
Haha good point. The first time I encountered pv it was in the form of like cat your.img | pv ... > /dev/sdb and then you had to tell it what size to expect and enable it showing the progress bar, etc.
I'm wondering if you're replying to a different GP comment than I did, which pretty much dismisses bagged wines:

I strongly disagree. Static types have so many benefits they easily outweigh the only downside (you have to actually write them).

I'm sure it's possible to make large dynamically typed codebases work with a lot of effort and a ridiculous amount of testing but it would clearly be easier with static types.

There's a reason Typescript is so popular and pretty much every dynamically typed language has some effort to add type hints (including Python!).

There's also a reason why you see so many blog posts about large dynamically typed code bases being converted to statically typed languages or having type hints added (e.g. Dropbox) but I don't think I've seen a single large company go the other way, because that would be crazy.

As cool as this development is, I can't help but think about how this could be grossly abused and used as another means of detaining or abusing certain populations state or federal gov might not like. "Pointing", or the provable technique of eliciting a "positive" detection response from a detection animal, has long been a huge point of contention for use of drug dogs during traffic stops - especially in California and Illinois. A huge proportion of these stops also involved the use of "pointing" drug dogs to lead to egregious 4th amendment violations.

This is a key, in a city you need to be proactive about it, or if not interested you can fully avoid any interaction and no one cares. In small places, you have to interact at least a little with people around you, or you'll be labeled as a weirdo. And also you're more often in need of someone helping you with something, as not everything is around the corner and readily available like in big cities.
In the US at least, buying organic won't necessarily save you. Whether something's actually organic is highly dependent on whether the farmers and grocers actually adhere to the guidelines.

You could theoretically be audited, but I never saw or heard of a single audit in the 4-5 years I worked in produce at a national grocery chain. Granted, this was over 10 years ago. But given the regulatory climate in over those years, I would be shocked if enforcement was made stricter.

That's also ignoring the fact that non-organic farming began in part as a way to more cheaply and efficiently grow food, thereby supporting a larger population. It might be hard to unwind that clock simply because of the food demands of the current human population.

I’ve recently unearthed a copy of WORM.BAS that is written to run on ZBasic for the Zenith Z100 - it’s the version of “snake” I played as a child. I wish I had an interpreter that could run it, but it relies on the Z100’s direct access to the RAM that holds the text mode font, in order to overwrite the letter shapes with bitmaps of sections of the worm/snake. I have, more than once, tried to port it to a modern context, but the old coding style (no explicit subroutines, just GOSUBs) is very hard to read and even though it is not a lot of lines of code, it is a very painstaking process. I don’t know if hacking a BASIC interpreter would help, but it might!

It would be nice if virtualenv type of functionality was just a first class citizen for Python. Basically if you could just specify the root of your project and have ./site-packages/ automatically included in the path or similar. Yes of course you can just update sys.path but it would be neat to do that with no code necessary. Or do it with a config file like how PlatformIO does library management.
Japan is an island. How exactly does it share a border with Korea?
In theory, I think this is a plausible positive scenario. In practice, however, I've never seen it play out like this (huge anecdata here).

I've worked remote most of my career, and in my experience, the politics and work theaterisms are still there, just different.

For example, someone's perceived level of "effort" often becomes a function of how responsive they are. Do they respond to Slack messages at random hours, when team members in different time zones/aggressive managers ping them? Do they frequently communicate with the team via video calls and Slack discussions? Just like in normal office politics, their actual productivity or work quality is assessed less than their appearance of engagement.

That's just an example, but my experience in general has been that remote doesn't change anything about the cultural of management at a company. Whatever metrics mattered in person, there will be remote equivalents to replace them.

The positive here is that good leadership is still good leadership, remote or not. The negative, obviously, is that remote isn't the balm for poor leadership that many hope it will be.

> Is it now considered a de facto truth that people identifying as "Right" are racists?

Racial/ethnic/national/cultural (including religious) chauvinism has been an attribute of Conservatism/Right politics forever (also, class chauvinism, though over time that's become less pronounced, or at least less overt, faster than the others, probably because it's one of the things you can't really get away with out loud in systems of universal suffrage.)

> If Right now means racist, what is the label for someone with the political attributes of Right, but who is not racist?

If the not racist extends to excluding most of the other chauvinisms of the right, “neoliberal” is probably the best label. If it's just specifically the absence of racial/ethnic chauvinism, just “Right”; that racism is a characteristic of the faction as a whole doesn't mean it's essential for each member (the fallacy of division is a popular fallacy, but still a fallacy.)
