> I didn't really hear much about outrage mobs and repeated celebrity firings over unpopular political opinions 10 years ago.

That's probably because you weren't listening, possibly because it was 30 years into the right whining about that under the label “political correctness” and everyone had learned to tune it out.

Now they've got a new label and marketing effort behind selling it as the boogeyman, and everything old is new again.
"Asynchronous shaders" doesn't mean that host code is unblocked on job dispatch (that's been the case for nearly all GPU APIs for going on 40 years). It's having multiple hardware queues with different priorities to be able to have other work to do when a kernel/shader is only using a subset of the SMs/CUs. So it's a hardware balancing feature for non heterogeneous workloads.

Nvidia hardware won't dispatch multiple kernels simultaneously, all of the streams stuff you're seeing is hints to the user space driver in how it orders the work in it's single hardware command queue.
I think what has happened is a lot of trolls and provocateurs, both online and offline, have purposefully attempted to use the word in demeaning ways while also claiming innocence. "Testing the boundaries," so to speak.

"But it's just a picture of a cartoon frog holding a gun! I didn't post it because the user above me said they were black, I just think it's a funny meme! Honest!"

One logical response is to take a harder and harder line against Pepe memes, including ones that really were posted in good faith!
The rover was built by NASA JPL, and they have their own coding standard based on MISRA 2004.

Hardware (according to Wikipedia) is a BAE Systems RAD750 radiation-hardened single board computer based on a ruggedized PowerPC G3 microprocessor (PowerPC 750). The computer contains 128 megabytes of volatile DRAM, and runs at 133 MHz.

Testing sounds pretty rigorous, at least for large projects.

Personally I firmly believe that "all C developers" do not need to follow these regulations. It might even be counter-productive to slow down the development process for some clients. For safety-critical systems, these rules make sense. For little startups, they don't.

Developers are smart enough to learn these rules, so HR shouldn't ask for "5 years MISRA experience". It's really a choice of business model, time to market, and risk management. If you're a big company looking to cut costs, be careful about outsourcing firmware development to a little startup who might not follow these rules so strictly. I won't follow these rules for the stuff I throw together in my free time and put on Github, but I will be careful before committing code to master for medical device firmware.
This would have been nice to have a few years ago. Once in a while me and my dad bust out the Amigas and goof around with them on a projector. Getting the displays to work was a hassle. The old monitors we had were PAL too. I'll have to forward this to my dad.

SEEKING FREELANCER - Remote - Technical Writer / Front-end Developer

DebugBear is a website monitoring tool that helps developers understand and optimize site performance. I'm a solo founder looking for a technical writer to write articles about front-end web performance.

You'll need:

- Experience building front-end apps (e.g. using tools like React/Angular/Vue/Webpack/...)

- Experience writing technical articles

- Basic understanding of web performance

- Some overlap with European work hours preferred

If interested, email matt at debugbear.com and include links to something you've written.
I find both to be disturbing and wrong. What do I win?
I asked someone if he had any evidence for something he said, and then an hour later someone else said a different thing that is relevant to the conversation. You tell me.
There's also the reason to explore Mars for new life, minerals, water, scientific breakthroughs, etc.
He does sound a bit like an asshole, and like he has a chip on his shoulder. It does sound like he lacking in sensitivity to others experience him. If he was my personal friend, and he came to me about this, I'd suggest he work on that.

I don't think any of this is fireable. Personally I have found that being more tolerant of people with... shall we say, strong personalities, has been worthwhile. And I bet he's not the only asshole at the times, and I bet in certain ways, they are better for it.
I can see that a bit. I suppose for me, the biggest questions are (1) is there a way to unambiguously express my intent and (2) is there exactly one way to do so? I'm fine with more features so long as they match some specific problem that people have that isn't already solved in another way.

For example, in the case of const generics, I've used the equivalent in C++ to make a class for a geometric vector in N dimensions. The size varies depending on the number of elements, but is known and can be checked at compile time. The existence of const generics is very closely matched to this particular use case.
Yeah I think it's still nearly impossible if you're too disabled to work. You can't even get married without losing what meager benefits you have.
>> “We all hate shifting through lifestyle guru stuff to see if we need one egg or two,” another wrote.

I don't understand this. If all you want is the nitty-gritty on some recipe, why do you absolutely have to get the recipe from a foodie blog? Can't you visit one of the many, many recipe aggregator sites that have no personal narratives whatsover? I don't want to point to any one in particular but, say, if I search on DDG for "how to make shepherd's pie" and with a quick round of eyballing it seems pretty much all the results in the first page are bare-bones recipe listings, without any life stories whatsoever. The longest piece is one on Gordon Ramsey's recipe for the dish and that is not expounding on how grandma used to make it, it's just being exceedingly loquatious with the instructions.

I also have to point out that there are tons of recipes in probably literally millions of physical recipe books offline. I live in the same house as a lady who owns a restaurant and the libraries here are straining under the load of recipe books to cook basically any dish from basically any cuisine in the world, with any ingredients you may imagine. Food blogs with long personal experiences are very far from being the only way to get a quick idea about how to cook some dish.
The title and content don't match.

The way we distinguish between musical instruments and notes is because of timbre/tone color. Which has nothing to do with fourier transforms per se and you can use wavelet for that matter. DFT/DTFT are the most common approaches to quantize and convert back to analog and they can be completely left out of the discussion for such a title.
I know HN frowns upon such meta comments, but thank you for this comment! Wonderfully clear exposition - I followed along completely with your comment and now have some level of understanding of harmonics and brass instruments where I had none before. This was a good day, I learned something today that I have long been curious about!
Simple answer: different timbres.

When I get a round tuit I will will try to figure out how it works.

In spite of this it is enough to create impromptu drawings to support a lecture. I save them and give it to the students as part of the notes.
100% of people with side projects are passionate. That's why folks put a lot of emphasis on side-projects because it predicts passion almost perfectly.

The opposite, that people without side projects aren't passionate, simply doesn't hold true. I've met and worked with engineers that were extremely passionate about programming but who had better things to do on the weekend than code (outdoors, sports, spending time with their kids). Their passion showed in continuously learning, often about things that were related to what they were working on, and an interest in computing. They'll make out time to learn or better use any time you set aside for that at work to improve their skills or mentor. They exclusively code from 9-5 but it's a completely different mindset than the folks who only treat is as a job or worst that actively try to stop coding.

The later are probably the people that you really want to filter out of any hiring pipeline, and I've met my share. Learning a new codebase is to be avoided, reading code is a waste of time and so on. A lot of them try to get in management as soon as they can, and you can imagine the results.
many of us were against it when the puritanical right was censoring people/art/media, and we're still against it now that it's a puritanical left censoring people/art/media.

why is that so hard to understand and to be consistent about this? people need to stop getting distracted by naked partisanship and focus on the issue. a principled stance is key!

now we're seeing big tech getting roped in and the tools of censorship are expanding. you may be fine with that now, but the tools will change hands. imagine them in the hands of your enemy.
Why would you bother training neural nets? They already found a solution that can be computed in literally 0 cpu time that works for >90% of the cases (their theoretical model was an above average active player moving 5 times in a second, which is 5 frames of input you can't predict as being the same as the previous, which is 8% of the time).

Why would you waste time trying to shove neural nets into a solution which has such amazing properties? It really terrifies me that that's the first place you went to.
It's always hard to say when you only see one person's accounting of a story, but it sure looks like NYT was sick of him and looking for a reason to get rid of him.
Looks interesting. What is the use case for a 3k codec in 2021?

Having the Lyra sample louder than the others is cheating and gives a false impression.
> It reads like the author is basically guessing, in the lessons learned he mentions 2FA and in the same sentence he mentions that it might not have helped ultimately.

If the attack was mounted via faked documents which is what I think the article implied then 2FA would not have helped as it was attack on a procedure of replacing contact info.
Really very nasty stuff. Destroys more machinery and kills more people every year than practically everything else.
An allergy. No, really, you can get a lot of mileage from thinking of cultural reactions to ideas as immune reactions. Some ideas we actually need to attack and destroy (any falsehood, certain proven-toxic ideologies), some just look too much like pathogens and get attacked anyway.
All the uses I see are direct quotes, archival from the 19th century or a discussion of censoring huckleberry finn.

OK, done. I read up on both. (and had earlier; I'm not unaware) Still I see no difference. There is none. Superficial syntactical differences do not matter, unless you'll agree that LISP can't do addition.

BTW, in LISP, actual usage of the homoiconicity is the surest way to make a mess of unmaintainable code.
> I still find it quite bizarre that the mere utterance of the epithet, even in a sentence like "You should never call someone a <racial epithet> because that is extremely offensive" is considered itself racist by younger people.

The idea that utterance of a word is offensive isn't uncommon. For example, in the US the C-word is almost completely taboo in common speech. In some other English-speaking countries it is just another swear word, perhaps more offensive than the F-word, but not in a completely different category.
I'm in the writing industry, and I definitely see this with young writers. He's absolutely correct.

Querying that many entries processes (according to the BigQuery web interface) less than 300MB each time. Not sure how they arrive at that figure, but whatever.

It feels like we do our best to make poverty “invisible”. I often think of how much land would be taken up by slums. The US still is reeling from the idea of the “projects” in LBJs war on poverty - mainstream politicians literally won’t even use the word “poor” anymore. We still don’t have any sort of coherent policy for where to put poor people, especially the homeless.
>>I think what's interesting is the moral policing is no longer coming from the religious right.

The right (religious and otherwise) hasn't reduced it's policing of ideological orthodoxy at all.

The original Iridium satellite phone voice codec did voice calls at approximately 2800 bps 22 years ago, but the quality is quite poor, and it's very rudimentary. Encoding power and CPUs were quite different in 1998/1999.

> I think I'm a high functioning Aspie. Learning not to do exactly this kind of shit was something I needed to do manually. I don't feel he's done that.

Me too. I wouldn't want or expect the world to change to fit me. I understand well that there are natural consequences for the ways that we behave -- and after fumbling through them my whole life they even make a strange kind of sense. Gaining a particular reputation and having some people avoid you seems to lie within the realm of the reasonable.

But the consequences in this case were not commensurate with the crimes. To have your coworkers gang up against you? And pass around a petition to get you fired? And use logic like "intentions don't matter"? Surely you see that this got completely out of hand.

And the part that makes it just that much worse: Some of the people who lead the charge on this would not have had a leg to stand on just a handful of years ago, before their chosen political ideology was en vogue. And as soon as they do, this is how they use their power. To gut this person, this fellow prickly traveler of theirs. It's just depressing as hell.
> When “doing your own work”, be mindful of the opportunity cost of your time. What’s your rate versus the handyman’s rate? If you fix the porch, are you less able to pick up that overtime shift?

There's more to it than just the money though, although that's certainly a big factor[0].

There's having control over your environment, being self-reliant, shaping it the way you want it shaped. I don't know about other people but that's really good for my mental health - particularly at the moment.

Other benefits:

- You don't have to go into it with a fully realised vision upfront. I can't do that for interior design - I have to iterate towards something decent.

- Inevitably along the way you encounter unanticipated problems and complexities (much like software development). If you've paid someone a shit-ton of money to sort out your house your only options are to throw more money at the problem or compromise in a way you may not like. If you're doing the work you are generally able to consider more options.

- You don't have to compromise in the way you would if you got somebody to do it for you. If I get somebody to design my bathroom for me then, because I don't and can't know the answers to all the questions up-front, at the very least I'm going to have to live with some of their answers. Those answers might start to wear on me after I've lived with the new room for a time.

- If I screw something up myself or decide I'd prefer it to be different I have zero qualms about undoing my own work, partly because I know I can redo it in the way I want, but also because there's less risk of sunk cost fallacy clouding my thinking.

- On the odd piece of work for which I will need a tradesperson they're not going to be able to take me for a ride.

Working on your own house is a real confidence building exercise that I'd recommend to anyone, and especially those who feel like they have no practical skills, for reasons that go far beyond the financial.

[0] In theory I could afford contractors; in practice I'd have to make sacrifices in other areas where I'd rather not make sacrifices to do it.
Thanks, Chrome. So many sites have user-hostile code that is overridden by this choice. I still remember the glee when I first started using Chrome all those years ago, and suddenly all those forms filled themselves out.
