The kernel ABI, however, does not. vDSO are shared objects exposing a C ABI, and oddball compilation settings have broken Go's vDSO calls in the past: https://marcan.st/2017/12/debugging-an-evil-go-runtime-bug/
Seems to me that proper DPI detection might lead to a better experience across all "unique" monitor setups, not just this one.

Is it extra work? Sure. I thought we referred to that as polish.
I disagree with the arbitrary arrangement of characters.

If you write NYC in Webdings, you have an eye, a heart and a skyline, which I read as "I love New York". Could be a coincidence, but very unlikely IMO.
This is probably true, but a little exposure can't hurt.

There is plenty of evidence (rather than opinion) that with a decent compiler and hardware implementation the more complex addressing modes don't gain you anything worth the bother in either code size or performance.

RISC-V is extensible. If someone really believes that more complex addressing modes are worth it then they can add them as a custom extension. If their chips work out to have better performance/price, performance/area, performance/energy then everyone else will want to copy them and those more complex addressing modes will become a standard extension for RISC-V.

There is no sign of the RISC-V community (as opposed to ARM or x86 fans who aren't using RISC-V anyway) moving in that direction.

Absolutely. You (with your training and ability to manipulate software, test, debug, and deploy) can make the change you like (and maintain it in perpetuity if you can't find someone to take on upstream maintenance).

This is not an option most software users have, but it's probably an option for most readers of this forum.
Not the only one, either. I actually had the Nokia 6086 (https://www.gsmarena.com/nokia_6086-1798.php) which had UMA. I got it through T-Mobile and got my first wifi router ever, the WRT-54GTM ("TM" for T-Mobile), through their HotSpot@Home service. There was a small monthly fee in exchange for unlimited wifi calling.

I felt like it went into overdrive in 2016. Maybe partially driven by a certain political figure who seemed to be the perfect foil.

I think the irony of MAGA is that it made a bad situation far worse. Or rather, it was a self-fulfilling prophecy. The question is whether or not we’ve learned that lesson.
I think it was a worthwhile project. The shame is abandoning it imo
Comparatively, making games is harder than making gaming hardware. It's incredible that I find fewer and fewer great games on the market these days when both the barrier to entry is lower, and the available technologies are so much more powerful.

But I think the problem results from the above. The barrier to entry is so low that entrants don't make many fun games (there's just more of them), and the available technologies to saturate usage of are so expensive to fully utilize and staff for that making a fun game falls by the wayside (too few games produced by those that can make great games, and of those, most of them are not even good).

This post is equivalent to an Op Ed saying World Peace is what society needs. Vlad, we understand you are trying to salvage some of the PR mess that was made by placing the blame on others. This post is lacking substance on next steps and how Robin Hood would like to implement this. While it is not what your Company does, what is your suggestion?
I see it differently. The GME situation highlighted disparities in market access and shed light upon loopholes in short-selling regulations (including the bona-fide market-maker exemption) that allow market participants to sell delta that they can't find.

I also think the caveat of using the epithet "pump and dump" is that you should have some evidence that the initial information was false or misleading. As it turns out, Melvin was extremely short, as were others, and everyone who got involved prior to the squeeze had ample opportunity to make money. Not every hyped name that rallies immensely and then sells off aggressively is a "pump and dump." The stock is still up 20x in a year.
Zaraz: "soon" in Polish.
It sure is a puff piece. I was going to reject it out of hand. In fact I was in the middle of slating it when I actually looked up how hammerhead sharks see. I learnt that hammerhead sharks have really good binocular vision. (http://news.bbc.co.uk/earth/hi/earth_news/newsid_8376000/837...)

I am wary of the depth map they've provided. It looks suspiciously smooth and stable. Given that roads have little to no features of use, the belief propagation must be very good (or its been tarted up in post.)

I assume they use feature matching to estimate the camera movement, and the those same features are compared from each camera to get the divergence. I would be interested to see the calibration setup, and how it performs at speed.
That is not a voluntary recall. They had been under pressure for couple of years.

I'm pretty certain that 'looks cool' has nothing to do with it.

SN10 had to be moved away from the assembly point because SN11, SN12, etc are close behind. They needed the space.

Why wasn't SN10 further away? SpaceX is moving fast, and moving these building-sized craft around is slow.

SpaceX has a many years of experience in landing rockets. Perhaps more directly, they have a lot of experience in failing to land rockets. To that end, they've use a kind of 'fail safe' methodology, where for most of the approach, the vehicle's trajectory is toward a safe, low-value spot.

For example, during the booster return of the CRS-16 mission in 2018, there was a problem, so the booster automatically didn't translate back toward its nominal landing pad. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LFdep0qCmYA In that case, the problem ended up not being severe enough to cause a crash.

Win SN8 at least they had the engine firing itself through the nozzle. This time it seemed the others failed to start.

Suicide burns are probably a very bad idea when they have crews and passengers anyway. I assume they'll fire up the landing engines sooner and leave enough time for the vacuum engines to fire as backups if needed.

I use EteSync both at my company and personal life to share events with the team or with my wife, and to manage my contacts and tasks on my "no Google allowed" phone.

I can integrate with calcurse[1] to stay up to date during the day or with aerc[2] when I need to send an email to someone, because they include a Dav bridge[3], but I can also integrate it with the GNOME environment because a module for evolution exists[4].

Plus, the developer[5] has been genuinely nice and handled all support, and billing questions like a champ, in a speedy manner, and always in a polite tone.

My only problem with EteSync so far is that sharing an event can only be done through the web application right now, so I need to switch from calcurse to a browser, share the event, and then come back. Minor issue in the grand scheme of things, though.

Well worth the price, in my opinion. Might be one of the few services that I do not migrate to a self-hosted instance instead.

Yeah, I don't think that's a problem I ever run into. Also they claim:

> Say goodbye to the old problem of having the package manager complain that libXYZ is not installed even though you can see that it is there.

That is... also a problem I have never had.

I like the idea of GoboLinux just for giving a new take on something more streamlined (because yes, the FHS and de-facto systems before it have accumulated a lot of cruft), but I think it would be more productive for the GoboLinux folks to advocate for their system based on its own merits, not on semi-imagined faults of the more common system.

Being able to have multiple versions of programs and their dependencies (which would help avoid dependency hell) installed is a big thing! That alone is a really nice benefit of GoboLinux's system.

Real time settlement and instant bank transfers would mean RH wouldn’t need to put up any collateral.

"How do clearinghouses determine how much is required?

It’s pretty technical, but the process basically works as follows: clearinghouses look at a firm’s customer holdings as a portfolio. They use a volatility multiplier, looking at specific stocks, to quantify their risk. The clearinghouse may assign significant additional charges based on how much of one stock a firm’s customers hold. If a firm’s customers have more buy than sell orders, and the securities they’re buying are more volatile, the deposit requirement will be higher. Clearinghouses can also require additional deposits if certain thresholds are met."

I've been using DDG for the last few months. It's okish but sometimes I feel like I don't see the results I expect to find, I google them on Google (do you see what I'm doing? there is a reason for that after all) and I find them.

This is even more true for technical searches in my job (web development, mostly backend.) Google finds the answer, DDG less often so.
Now that sounds very interesting. Thank you for this!
That is intentional and was a direct reaction to the original controversy.

So basically to calculate the stationary distribution (distribution over a long time of evaluation) of a markov chain, you have to calculate the eigenvectors of the transition matrix. And these take into account the graph structure, so I think the stationary distribution will be exactly what is calculated this way, there isn't really any space for anything beyond that.

Incidentally, this is very similar to the original pagerank algorithm. The rank roughly corresponds to the probability you will be on any given page if you randomly follow links.
Obviously, people smarter than you and me are "making money" and don't look outside the tech bubble of topics (Apple, Google, Tesla, SpaceX, etc.) Protecting their investments.

Actually I think is pointless to give my perspective on things, not because I care about vapourware like HN karma or networking for "better employment", just because here we don't have deep critical discussions anymore (aside of safe zone tech vs tech).

So get along with the program and "be happy":)

If they were honest about the pricing model it would go something like this.

A cloud server capable of gaming costs about $1 an hour. It has to be an on demand price, not a spot price because people won't accept their game being turned off arbitrary.

Don't get started with "it doesn't really cost Google $1 an hour to host a $1 hour server" because Google is forgoing $1 they could have gotten from selling it to a real customer.

Also cloud providers charge $0.10 a GB for bandwidth, and if the game sucks down 5 GB of bandwidth an hour we are talking $1.50 an hour.

If you play a game for 50 hours then you are talking $75 in recurring costs and that's before you pay for the actual game.

The "all-you-can-eat" plan is something that cloud gaming companies are offering now because it is familiar to people (e.g. the bloated cable bundle and Netflix following in its footsteps) and people just think it is natural and don't think "hmmm... is this a real business?" the way they would if you started writing down what things cost.

===

What we know is that software devs use Javascript on the front end because they don't care how efficient it is (you are paying for it) but they use Rust and Go on the back end because they don't want to pay a dime more than they have to when they're paying.)

Thus with cloud gaming the cloud gaming company will always have a reason to Scroogle you with the hardware.

====

If cloud gaming is really a scam to drive up the stock prices of companies like Google, or if it is an attempt to intimidate serious companies like Sony and Valve out of the business, the story that Google is telling makes sense.

If they think that somebody somewhere somehow plans to make money off cloud gaming that's another thing all together.

This was a unique setup for a lot of reasons. It started purely as a value play, then dynamically morphed into a growth play _and_ an attack on the shorts based on technicals. Once the price broke ~30 it then escalated into a full on short-attack and ultimately became pump-and-dump (in my opinion). The whole thing was fluid though, and its important to understand that the initial snowball was formed on the back of fundamentals analysis and through a lens of value investing, so you had plenty of "true believers" gathering together to form the initial crowd attacking the shorts.

Once it became clear the momentum was dead (i.e. when brokerages forbade buys) a lot of the "in the know" crowd had already planned their exit and took it. The only reason it hasnt plummeted to ~40$ at this point is that there were a lot of "true believer converts" picked up along the way that are now stubbornly bagholding in disbelief. This is where the _real_ pump and dump starts to occur, because this whole crowd is now on the hook for massive losses unless they can recreate the initial rise.

The whole episode has been a case study for how not to handle PR. Robinhood lost the public narrative every step of the way, and all their statements were late, lacking in detail and even contradictory. Remember the now-famous "we don't have a cash flow problem" statement from their CEO, right before they had to borrow a billion dollars to stay in business?
You have to have zero bad ideas that set a ceiling on performance... e.g. you have clear ALL the bottlenecks out of the way.

Just doing something about the one potential bottleneck that you feel like doing something about doesn't necessarily get you a gain in performance at all.
I don't know why you keep bringing up this "bill of attainder" nonsense.

A bill of attainder is "a legislative act that singles out an individual or group for punishment without a trial." Legislation that singles out an individual or group for other purposes is not a bill of attainder.

This bill singles out Facebook and Google, but it does not subject them to criminal punishment. It is therefore, by definition under common law tradition (and also under U.S. law), not a bill of attainder.
