Your rights stop where their feelings begin. That is how your rights are viewed by the left. You have a right to keep and bear arms. You do not have the right to free healthcare, free education, or free property. Yet many on the left want to treat rights as not inalienable, but malleable depending on the person who is exercising them.

>Awk and sed are more of the UNIX magic that I have always thought was really cool, though I never really understood what they were used for.

I was so put off by their syntax that I didn't even bother to try to learn them when I was a newbie. If I had a time machine, I would certainly go back and tell myself to learn these tools and save plenty of time instead of always using vim/perl for every text processing problem. I've now written my own books (https://github.com/learnbyexample/scripting_course#ebooks) - might help you.

The easiest way is with an agency. I've used Toptal a lot, and moonlight.com seems promising. I had a really wonderful client through the HN monthly freelancer thread. My current geographical area does not have much in the way of software, so I probably need to move to get local clients.

I would normally worry about finances, but I happened to be forced into it due to some (non-tech) classes I wanted to take, which was helpful because I'd already decided I was going to be burning money that year. And the previous year I was working on an iOS app on my own in Asia (= low cost of living), so I'd already discovered--a little to my surprise--that the sky didn't fall in if you don't have an income. I've discovered it usually takes me about a month to find a new client, but I'm sure that depends on the developer, experience, and subfield. If I wanted to do webdev it'd probably be a lot faster. If you want a conservative plan, I'd recommend saving 6 - 12 months of expenses, line up a client with the understanding that you would not be able to start for 2-4 weeks, and then quit. Or maybe you could arrange with your company to transition out more gradually. At some point, though, the water isn't going to get any warmer, you just have to jump in the pool and scream underwater for a few seconds until you get used to it :)
It's interesting that so many in the intelligence community do not mind their business, and instead involve themselves in election tampering, subversive acts against citizens, spying on citizens, overthrowing foreign countries, and last but not least, just f**kin with the other side.

It doesn’t seem enough to blame the entire group. Terrorist attacks are often nation- or religion-related, but no one in the world takes course to destroy all the population, as the article states.

I've heard Facebook uses btrfs in their data center.
This post makes it sound like this is an issue that could only possibly affect 1 user, the one guy with a vertical screen running Linux with a nonstandard scaling factor. But I have the same problem (worse, even). I run a bog-standard MacOS w/ Safari machine and but I browse the web at 1.25x and I don't maximize my browser window. That also punts me into the "you must be a tablet" bucket, except I don't have the luxury of 1280 vertical pixels!

The real problem here is actually that developers make sure their site looks reasonable at the phone and desktop breakpoints, but it's rare that someone specifically designs for the "tablet" breakpoint.

Quick examples:

- https://pkg.go.dev/net/http this website is terrible to use at the tablet breakpoint, the main content is literally pushed below the fold for me

- https://neutrinojs.org/installation/ they threw away the right-hand and left-hand navigation so that they could make a page that is much too wide to read comfortably

- https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/Window/aler... they throw away the left-hand navigation and replace it with whitespace on the right-hand side

These examples aren't particularly "rude offenders", this is just par for the course.

"The correlation between price and sound quality is close to zero and, slightly negative: r = -.16"

What do you mean by "the good money?" When I think of supposedly savvy investors backing biotech, I think Theranos.

> The Sputnik name and the glowing data we’ve heard about it.

Your justification is the name itself, and the data that OP is questioning. I don't know if it's a good vaccine or not, but I don't find this convincing. And after the Russian government went to such ridiculous lengths to cheat during the Olympics, I think it's fair to question their data.
Right that's basically what I was thinking.
A better analogy is that you should know that driving is dangerous and therefore keep insurance.

Yeah. Direct retail is booming and so are established small specialty bricks and mortar distribution and retail. I spent $5k last month on clayking.com. They have a central location and drop-ship a lot of stuff that manufacturers aren't direct selling, yet. Same thing over at theceramicshop.com and Bailey pottery.com. They are all slammed and taking quite a while to fill orders...manufacturers included.
The study is published in one of the worlds premier medical journals. I am guessing it was peer reviewed by qualified people who likely thought of where the data is coming from.

It’s totally fine to question the data. I’m simply pointing out that it takes some effort to get published in the Lancet. I doubt that any of the participants would like the ignominy of publishing a fake research and being a pariah for the rest of their lives.

Dismissing the data just because it came from Russia seems excessive to me. It’s quite possible that they were successful despite not having gone through the FDA certification process.

> You brain has hallucinated not just the outside world, but your internal world as well.

Very interesting. I agree with these statements--yet I also think they are perfectly consistent with people making choices. In your ultra-physicalist language, human brains hallucinating "the outside world" and "the internal world" are just part of the causal processes that happen inside those brains. And those causal processes still have effects outside those brains even so.

I think one thing that people fail to appreciate about what SpaceX is doing is their core believe with this project is that the manufacturing system is 10-100x more difficult then the design of the rocket itself, and that their goals can only be achieved if these two things are co-designed.

Their goals are to design a rocket system capable of landing on Earth, Moon, Mars and possibly others. Is must be able to refuel in space. It must be able to rapidly reusable, as in the same day multiple times. It must be cheap to manufacture, and it must be cheap to operate.

Every prototype brings in lots of new changes, none is exactly like that before, every around 5 prototypes there is a major generation upgrade. Every new prototype does not just test the new design, but also the improved manufacturing process.

All the learnings from both the build and the launch flow directly back to the developers and engineers working on it, and the required changes to into the backlog and eventually make it into later prototypes.

What the outcome of this process is, who knows unknown. SpaceX has shown to be incredibly flexible and change to new things quickly and without making a big deal about it. The change from carbon to stainless steel for example is a case where SpaceX had already tested tanks, they had already ordered tools, they had already bought a location. Within one month they dropped that. Iteration speed to slow, material cost to high, performance gain when combined with heat shield not worth it anyway.

Only when you consider cost, heat-shield consideration and iteration speed is it clear that stainless steel beats carbon fiber by a large margin.

The heat shield has been changed multiple times. The fins have been redesigned multiple times. The legs are a hot issue right now. The header tank design has changed over time. And so on and so on.

SpaceX will move forward like that, produce more and more prototypes that are closer and closer to the almost impossible goal. Every prototype is a fully integrated test from materials, design, manufacturing and operations.

AFAIK they could lend them only if that is a part of the contract between you and your broker. My broker has a separate optional amendment to the brokerage contract for that, which is required only if i wanted margin account instead of regular brokerage account.

This is strange logic... since we all are going to die anyway, we shouldn't worry about causes of preventable death?

So i guess we don't need drunk driving laws... only about 10,000 people a year die in the US from drunk drivers, they were going to die anyway. The world keeps on moving.

Yes, death comes to us all. That has no bearing on whether we should work to prevent death.

What I'm hearing in this post is "Where RISC-V uses a smaller field size for something than ARM64 they have under-provisioned and will need extra instructions, and where RISC-V uses a larger field size for something than ARM64 it will never be used and is wasted".

In other words, ARM's architects chose every parameter correctly, and RISC-V's chose every parameter badly.

It might be true, but you kind of have to prove it, not just assert it.

Take the J/JAL vs B/BL range for example. It's not just embedded. Look through your Linux distro's binaries and you'll find very few with TEXT size over 2 MB.

One of the few on my (x86_64, but it doesn't really matter) system is /opt/google/chrome/chrome with 159,885,517 bytes.

That exceeds ARM64's single-instruction BL range, as well as RISC-V's.

A quick analysis shows that of the 373500 callq instructions in the binary, statically 55.53% fall within the RISC-V single-instruction range, 100% fall within the ARM64 range. Dynamically I don't know, but I suspect the percentage that fall in the RISC-V range would be a lot higher.

Anyway .. code size. The extra AUIPC instructions needed in the RISC-V program will make it around 648 KB or 0.4% larger than the ARM64 program.

That's a pretty far cry from "I would estimate this one issue alone will result in a ~5-10% code size increase" you state. I mean -- that's a factor of 12x to 25x different than you state.

But wait there's more.

One reason that RISC-V JAL offsets are limited is that 2 bits out of 32 are taken up by indicating whether the current instruction is 4 bytes or 2 bytes in size.

So that's a waste right?

It would be if you didn't use it. But RISC-V does use it. In a typical RISC-V program, around 50% to 60% of all instructions use a 2 byte opcode, giving a 25% to 30% reduction in code size.

On the same 152 MB program (Chrome) where not having long JAL offsets costs 0.6 MB of code size, the C extension will probably save around 40 to 45 MB of code size.

That seems like a pretty good trade to me.

What will the speed effect of those extra AUIPC instructions be? I don't know. I'd have to instrument Chrome and run it at a fraction of normal speed to find out.

That's definitely something that should be done before making a pronouncement that one ISA is definitely better and the other one made all the wrong trade-offs.

However, my experience of analyzing smaller programs is that the dynamic penalty (execution speed) is typically much less than the static penalty (code size). At a wild guess, I'd go with four times less, or 0.1%.

That's in the noise.

Might a RISC-V core be enough simpler than a comparable ARM64 core to clock 0.1% faster? Could well be. Might it be enough simpler to be 0.1% smaller and thus cost 0.1% less in die space -- or allow you to put 0.1% more cores on the same chip? Could well be.

Even the detractors don't argue that RISC-V isn't simpler. "It's too simple" they say, takes purity and orthogonality too far.

Maybe, but you need to prove it, not just assert it.
This is something that literally everyone that owns a garage and saw horses does.

In fact having saw horses and a flat surface in your garage is superior to having a regular table, because all the pieces are easily movable.

Nobody is going to ask you, why are there saw horses and a door in your garage, but they will ask you why you have a table in your garage.

The point is that the booster is moot if you're walking around unprotected until you get it because the first dose has worn off. No one here is arguing that a second shot wouldn't bring your immunity back up. The problem isn't the efficacy of the second shot. It's the delay during which you are much less.protected.

As for 3-4 weeks being too short, I'm not aware of any specific research there. But I'll assume you're right, and also tell you it's irrelevant: If a booster in 3-4 weeks improves efficacy, but doing it later would work even better, that does not mean we should wait longer: We still need the boost now. All your point means is that we should also do a second booster at some optimal time further down the road.

> even the GNU tools have decent man pages.

A large portion of them are just auto-generated from the `--help` output (and --help has always been fairly high quality for GNU tools). Perhaps with a few extra paragraphs sprinkled in.

I've found that GNU man pages are often an unhappy medium between the terseness of `--help` and the verbose explanations in the info manuals; and so the GNU man pages are almost never what I want. If I want to just quickly look something up, the man pages are too big and I should have used --help, and if I want to understand something they're too brief and I should have used info.

That said, the Bash man page is great (as is the info page). It's always amazed me that the Bash maintainer (Chet Ramey) goes through the trouble of maintaining two entirely separate documents with such detail and quality.
> I think this is a fantasy. How many decades have there been high-quality headphones for this to be a thing that you think is supposedly the traditional way to do it?

My sennheiser HD600 was released 17 years ago. I've tried many other headphones over the years but it's the best I've heard from my very subjective ears. I've also changed almost every part from it due to wear and tear and it's amazing the amount of after market part you can find both from sennheiser and other vendors directly on ebay
Good point - by default Google Lighthouse is aiming at the 85th percentile of mobile connection speed, meaning you can ignore these metrics because you have a faster connection or device, but they are still true for ~15% of your mobile traffic. That's the reality of simply delaying scripts - you'll want to delay them more to achieve faster loading time, but the more you delay them the more data you lose.

> but what you posted was unsubstantive flamebait

Pointing out that the morals of Google diverging from their founding motto is absolutely substantive.

As for flamebait, to someone whom has an axe to grind, everything is flamebait. Which is something I have zero control over.

> rather to err on the side of posting thoughtfully and substantively.

I did. As for beauty, it's in the eyes of the beholder. Which why I'm standing my ground on what I said. I didn't entice someone. I didn't get into ad hominem. I simply only responded once that I'm pointing out something that is clear to me (hypocrisy of Google's morals).

I already stated how Google diverged from it's original motto. One commenter felt it was unoriginal. Well, I don't live on this website. Also, where are these unproductive expectations coming from? Pointing out that someone is 'unoriginal' isn't engaging anyone to discuss something.

Since speaking plainly isn't getting through.

Let me reason by comparison.

If I'm a 5th grader and the commenter is a professional 12th grader. How is the 5th grader wrong for posting it's opinion? That is clearly substantive and thoughtful, I literally quoted Google's code of ethics page to make my case. The 12th grader should've known better.

If something has been said 100s of times on HN, guess what happens? Typically, it educates the new readers whom haven't seen that information before. Or it gets downvoted into oblivion. Nothing wrong with that and it's self policing.

I believe this type of response, to me, was misplaced and unnecessary.
how is this compared to Obsidian?
Why would it matter if they didn't? All they would have if they held it is more money on top of the gobs they already had.

When you have that kind of money, if you want to grow it the surer strategy is to invest in lots of stuff, not keep it all sunk in your previous employer. It's probably more fun too.

And beyond a certain point that stock and the accompanying valuation in AMZ probably isn't so gratifying in itself, and unless one has a juvenile obsession with out net-worthing others, you need to find something more personally meaningful to do with it, whether that is start a new industry (Elon Musk) or address pressing global health issues (Bill Gates). It sounds like the GP has spent some of his funding free software.
I seem to remember some study (probably on the front page here) that the most successful people usually don't come from Wealthy with a capital W or poor backgrounds, because in both cases there usually isn't the parental involvement in people's lives needed to instill the right values. This isn't a criticism of poor parents btw, it's just a fact of life for most of them because they're out there surviving.

The most successful people on average have upper middle class/rich but not titan of industries parents. Rich enough that they have time to spend with their kids, pay for tutoring, that sort of stuff, but not rich enough to have the nanny raise the kid.

> I'm surprised the CEO of a brokerage is advocating for it.

settlement is a necessary but undesirable part of the business of a brokerage, because it locks up capital, which is costly, for a business model whose margins are shrinking rapidly. it used to be that brokerages could earn something from the overnight repo on the balance sheet in order to compete aggressively on fees but nowadays overnight rates are so low and zero-cost execution is the cat let out of the bag. maybe prime brokerages can comfortably rely on the bank's overall B/S to manage this risk but specialist and retail brokerages are all aggressively shrinking capital to stay competitive at the cost of not doing business on days like these. how much is robinhood paying for drawing down those credit lines over the last week just to tide over the 2-day mismatch in trading and settlement? how close was it to getting stopped on doing business in all the other tickers that aren't GME and AMC? I honestly think robinhood would rather not have done that wsb business at all.
