Thank you for the condemnation, but if you continue to support (which you do, by your constant defending of them) the political party that WONT condemn, censure, or discipline her, its entirely meaningless.

As far as your other handwaving dismissals, all I can say is actions and words from public figures, especially politicians, have consequences. You might not agree, which is fine, but this is how we get January 6th. I hope you condemn that too.

And I have never, not once, heard "we should should shoot Ted Cruz", or anything even close to that. For, you know, Republican politicians. Democrats, many, many times.

I see this sentiment often, that React is too complex, and I just don't understand that criticism. Is there some bloat? I'm sure. But the problems that React solves aren't trivial either.

The signature of a React application (and each component thereof) is simply `f(state) => HTML`. That isn't hard to understand, and the complexity behind the scenes is the complexity necessary to distill and optimize an application to the above. And to your point about JSX, yes, I do want that. I find it silly to write HTML using some other DSL. I have yet to find one that is anywhere near as transparent or ergonomic. How could there be?

I suppose I can agree profiling for the cause of undesired cycles could be easier, but, frankly, I rarely need to do so because I can simply reason about why a function/component is being invoked. The "flow" of a React application is well-defined (and rather simple). To your last point about structuring your code, you are probably right. Things have come quite far since jQuery in many respects, and I am sure that, if I were to try my had at it again, I would find it to be much more sane than 5-6 years ago. I just don't see why anyone would subject themselves to that though...

Kudos on your project! It looks great, and I'm sure provides the faculties important to you and your platform. I would be careful though. Given enough time and energy you may find, in the end, you have simply reinvented React!
Interesting. I pay for Alfred. How does this compare?

No foveated compression is not foveated rendering. It is using the same general idea for a different area of the problem: a higher bitrate (on the wire, or across the wireless link) for in-fovea.

Due to latency, you can't render the fovea area only; you need to cover quite a bit more in case the eye moves between submitting the command buffer and the final image being ready.

Compression can happen much later in the process, where the latency is much more predictable or even fixed. This is useful because massive bandwidth is easiest along traces, harder along wires and hardest wirelessly.
Hi I set up a Discord for openwrt and tech chat
Even if Firefox falls by the wayside and websites stop working with it somehow, making Blink (and Webkit) a monopoly (which I think is a very important thing to prevent and is the reason I use Firefox even if I don't have the warmest feelings toward Mozilla), I don't think that the free sync API being removed means that everyone will have to use Google Chrome. The major Chromium projects—Brave, Vivaldi, and Edge—all already use their own sync engines independent of Google.

Case fatality (which is at 3%) is not the same as infection fatality. You cannot directly measure infection fatality until the pandemic is over (the best you have are estimates until then), so going with the case fatality rate (which has stayed around 3% for most of the pandemic) seems like a reasonable choice.
Wow, I don't know what brush you're trying to paint me with but it's the wrong one. I'm one of those B-C students who, through luck of when I was born, managed to grab a tiny bit of upward mobility and cobble together an OK middle-of-the-road life. No Ivy League track for me. If I was born today and took the same path, I'd probably be struggling a lot due to how bifurcated and winner-take-all things are getting. I look around today and am very worried that my child and her generation will not have any opportunities unless they're valedictorian. Those good paying jobs you talk about are good, but they're disappearing rapidly.
Any chance you're on Apple Silicon? For some reason homebrew uses /usr/local on Intel macs and /opt/homebrew on ARM macs.

Anyway, this requirement is well documented and not new:

https://github.com/Homebrew/brew/issues?q=is%3Aissue+%2Fusr%...

http://github.com/Homebrew/brew/blob/master/docs/Installatio...

Homebrew asks users (on Intel macs) to change the ownership of /usr/local to their local user. And it refuses to run under sudo.

I don't know about the "DUMP TRUCK OF MONEY", but a program that formalizes support for the Open Source community on MacOS would be a win for Apple as well as Apple's customers.
So you don't get bogged down in details. There are many programmers out there who can glue libraries together but have no understanding of algorithms. If you want to focus on the CS side of it, remove all distractions.

My first CS professor insisted the first year be done all on the whiteboard. And this wasn't back in the dark ages. It was long after every student had a personal computer on their desk. Everything was done in a low-level pseudocode somewhere between Algol and C.

She felt that computers and actual programming languages would get in the way of learning the principles. I'm not quite that hardcore. But she was on to something. I learned more from that class than any other.

That shoelace example is interesting because people do actually buy non-shoelace shoes, such as slipons, or the new Nike that have that folding hinge in the middle. But generally yes, I agree that one should focus on what is a real problem that people would pay lots of money for.
A bunch of mock-ups of something that doesn’t exist doesn’t seem any worse than a description of the same.

The problem is that the startup and the consumers have totally different goals. Misleading marketing is always better for the company than consumers. And it really does seem misleading in this case, even implying internationally acclaimed design! There’s a lot of “Rise is” rather than “We hope Rise will be.” That’s why everyone’s getting confused.

Speaking personally I very much appreciate all the work that goes into delivering OpenJDK and I think some of the anti-Java groupthink that exists on HN is regrettable.
Thanks for that reply, loved the geeky details. I'm also an old Boulder co-op user here, I was heavily involved in the Fort Collins version for quite a while, and had various connections including UUCP dialup, SLIP, and T1s to the Boulder co-op.

My personal guess is, they probably want to capture the market for mobile web connection on tablets, and offer cheaper packages for that. But since they don't want you to circumvent regular mobile calls on your phone and use voip instead, you can't purchase these plans with mobile functionality. With phones or dialer-equipped tablets, you'll only get pricier traffic plans. As a bonus, if you want to have mobile calls/sms and cheaper web, you'll have to get two contracts—what's not to like?
It's not just founder and CEOs, though.

Theoretically, you get a lower price with an SPAC. However, if so much money is looking for returns, then the price might not be so low as to discourage it compared to other traditional ways to IPO.
Try not thinking of Hackernews, or any forum on the internet, as a single entity, but as many individuals. Some of them have conflicting views with the others.

Averaging the thoughts of a diverse group will just end up as white noise.
Also, just changing to a Chromium based browser is not sufficient. Google still takes most of the decisions in where Chromium is going, and downstreams either accept them or workaround them (but for every workaround they do it is more things to keep maintaining in the long run).

So yeah, using a non Chromium browser is the only way to ensure that the Web is still healthy (i.e.: not controlled by only Google) in the long run.
I haven't seen much if any support for "censoring Republicans" on HN, or for that matter, anywhere. What I have seen is support for censoring groups instigating violent overthrow of US institutions. The fact that those advocating such violence call themselves Republicans does not mean people are advocating for censoring Republicans as a class.

These words matter to me, because unless you are a free-speech absolutist (which most people are not), it's unfair to mischaracterize what sorts of things people are claiming cross the line. It's not being Republican.
Can someone summarize the issue? The article is behind a paywall.
Here’s looking at you Facebook.
Not having 9 justices on the Supreme Court is not destroying the rule of law, there have been many times that has happened. What a ridiculous, embarrassingly partisan statement. You should be ashamed.
Every successful founder or CEO sees themselves and their vision as fundamentally good for society, and at worst they may see some evil around their company which they'll chalk up to "price or progress". As the money starts rolling in and the price never ends up being paid by themselves (or the company) it's hard to see it as anything but a fruitful vision. One that's "good for all intents and purposes". The more money, the more of the bad intents and purposes they hand waive or brush aside.
> Simulating this .. there is no difference in RES between 8M pages and 512K pages

Linux memory management has notoriously complicated reporting. Your program only has 495M of usable memory mapped (RSS; not sure where the extra 100M is coming from), but RSS does not count page tables.

You cannot actually use the 400M of sparsely allocated memory (4K at 2+MB intervals) without another 400M of page tables. I'd suggest you try allocating and using >50% of RAM, or just compare how much can you use sparsely vs. dense before your program hits OOM. Note, you may need to enable overcommit, increase maximum map count, if you are mapping region seperately and preferably disable swap to avoid thrashing.

sysctl vm.overcommit_memory=1
sysctl vm.max_map_count=10000000
swapoff -a

You can also watch /proc/memory PageTables total, which should show the difference.

That being said, I don't use go, I was merely pointing out that virtual memory management is not magical, and it has real memory costs when doing sparse allocations (also has quite significant other costs).

> The Go runtime will also shrink stacks if able (halving them) during a GC run, but you can do essentially the same thing on your C stack using madvise(2), and without the need to copy stack data around.

While you could do that, I believe it requires a syscall per-stack, which might be more expensive than a bit of copying, and I'm not completely sure how easy it would be to determine whether the memory has in fact been allocated and needs freeing.
Do you think that it is possible to reason with every person? Do you think that if someone simply sat down with every Jim Crow Southerner and explained nicely that black people deserve rights that would have solved the civil rights issues of the 60s?
Genuine question, is this sarcasm or reality? IBM's marketing of things like this is highly questionably, especially since blockchain and watson turned out to be such smokescreens from the marketplace/product/adoption standpoint.

1000 qubits in two years seems like a "quantum" leap based on what I read.
I believe the price is similar, but Deezer[0] has a decent music library plus podcasts. Its recommendation engine also works a little differently. The "Flow" engine lets you listen as a radio station with known and unknown tracks thrown in with actually decent recommendations.

Much better than Spotify, which only ever "recommended" artists I've already listened to, or artists I didn't like, or genres I didn't. If you listen to a wide variety of music, it doesn't know how to handle this apparently.

60 hz in VR feels disorienting. I recently upgraded my video card to an RTX 3090, which allowed me to finally go from 90hz to 120hz using my Index. It was incredible how much the experience improved. I used to have a vive, and when I first got the Index the headset felt pretty similar. But once I improved the refresh rate it was a night and day difference in feel.

From your article "geothermal resources are generally available all the time"

My costs were quoted in kWh, not kW. So that already adjusts for capacity factor. So my comment has 7x the number of kWh of a nuclear solution, but it has 19x (!) the nominal generating capacity.

Also remember that part of the reason for the low capacity factor of renewables is over-production, not just under-production. During high wind events, some turbines are feathered because there isn't enough load on the grid to use the energy.

Battery storage is cheap. Casey Handmer calculated that it's cheaper to use batteries to store energy locally than it is to build high voltage lines: https://caseyhandmer.wordpress.com/2020/12/27/the-future-of-...
It can. Historically Konqueror used KHTML, however, the default has been changed to QTWebEngine, which is based on Blink i.e. Chromium.

It also supports (supported?) rendering using WebKit, or, you can manually change back to KHTML. However, all recent versions of Konqueror default to WebEngine. https://wiki.debian.org/Konqueror

> But ultimately, should Google have hired me? Yes, absolutely yes. I am often a dick, I am often difficult, I often don’t know computer science, but. BUT. I make really good things, maybe they aren't perfect, but people really like them. Surely, surely Google could have used that.

Actually, no. There's no level of rockstarness that excuses being a dick and difficult to work with. That kind of attitude can turn a whole team's culture sour and result in way more damage than any one person can make up for through their individual contributions.

It's clear from reading his thoughts on the matter why Google didn't hire him, and it's also clear he still doesn't understand why either.

How similar is this book to CODE by Charles Petzold? I loved that book because it progressively builds up an imaginary computer using very easy to understand concepts. Even non-technical people can read it to understand how computers work internally.
I assumed that given the target was to come to a 'cat in room x' resolution, a few readers placed at strategic sites (doorposts, mainly), would suffice.
Randomly bought it and I haven't had as much fun with a game for a long time. I haven't had the "just one more thing before I go" immersion with a game for years. Also, I can't believe it is early access, there is so much content already.

I love the epicness and atmosphere of it.

With that said, I haven't played Factorio. Thought I wouldn't enjoy it as a programmer because I have enough of this stuff during the day. I will probably reconsider this and also try Factorio once I finish DSP.
This is sarcasm, right? There haven't been this many broad-as-daylight examples of "Laws for thee and not for me" than the authoritarian, wanna-be tiny-emperor governors and mayors, and representatives of a certain political ideology all across the country with their draconian, unscientific lockdowns.

> It’s painfully obvious to me, now, after everything, that pursuing a “limited government” requires making it harder for certain groups to vote and gerrymandering.

You have been reading way too much propaganda. First of all, Gerrymandering is enjoyed by each side of our ruling class. So that invalidates the rest of your nonsensical point.
I love this book (the first edition), project, and course.

It is incomplete, but I thought I would share my implementation of the software stack in F#. Currently, only the assembler is implemented, but in my personal opinion, I think it showcases the beauty of F# for domain modeling. When I return to the project, I hope to restart the VM implementation and continue adding to the FPGA implementation as well. My eventual goal is to have the entire software stack built using F# that can than be run on an FPGA implementation of the CPU.

That does sound like a really interesting approach, sounds really cool. I have a feeling alot of the people on apps like robinhood are less interested in serious long term investment vs speculating short term, though. Or at least alot of the new people are.
An example is the large hadron colider, where each experiment produces an enormous amount of data from all sensors.

No offense intended. But do you classify yourself as part of humanity? Or one of the good ones?

I mean, I know one or two people who profess to think this, and they admit they themselves are just as disgusting, so at least I can have some respect for their self-reflection.

I don't use Robinhood, I use a different broker, but I only use it on the web, not my mobile. Robinhood succeeds now in an industry where everyone offers free trades but their mobile app is more new-user friendly. I guess my point is that this data doesn't tell the whole story. People switching from Robinhood are necessarily going to the app version of another broker.

It also doesn't tell the whole story of people leaving, only people joining. I don't know, just seems like a really incomplete data set to make many judgements from.

However Robinhood customer base has also survived 2 consecutive leap years where their app malfunctioned on those leap days so I think it's fairly resilient.
Yes, very possible there is zero meat to the actual investigation. And very possible it's just the short seller pushing a narrative to drive the price down. But how do we know the truth when there are no disclosures?

As an investor, you should have a right to be informed of investment risks.

An active/ongoing DOJ investigation (even if routine) seems like something investors would need to be aware of to make an informed investment decision.
