Thing is, I don't play Warhammer :)

My iMac Pro has the Radeon Pro Vega 56 8 GB. I'm given to understand the absolute top of the line had some kind of problems… still, that's as much in graphics card RAM as exists in the whole RAM of some of the M1s. I'm betting Warhammer makes heavy use of the graphics card and it's that which is walloping the M1-running-Rosetta-emulation.

This probably means there will still be games where a previous version with a fancy enough graphics card will get higher framerates than what the M1 Macs can get. I don't anticipate Apple ever making those kinds of concessions to the gamer market, so that's where you're going to see the only holdouts (in terms of, M1 doing super poorly). And that, mostly with stuff that expects real gamer cards. I don't think the Radeon Pro Vega 56 is nearly top of the line for a gamer card but I can easily believe it's better than the on-board graphics for the initial M1 machines. Remember part of the selling point for the iMac Pros is that they could summon up graphics-card grunt for the purposes of 3d modeling.

I should try some Blender experiments and see what's snappier, there's a possibility the iMac Pro will make a decent showing for itself for that reason :)
No. The iMac Pro has the latest Cascade Lake parts. Arguably the “Gen 2 Refresh” bunch of Xeon SP parts are newer, but in workstation scenarios they’re not really faster.
Reserve currency status has also helped us out tremendously despite being $28 trillion in debt (and growing rapidly).
Everything is harder or more dangerous that's not been done. Otherwsie it would have been already, right?

I get your point but things become normalised over time and mechanisms/technology invented to deal with the risk and conditions. If you'd said to people 150 years ago that there would be (well pre-covid days) at any one time about a million people at 30k feet flying around in basically a tin can, journeying across the world in a day, they'd say you're mad and it's too dangerous to achieve. They didn't have the technology capable, like a jet engine or fabrication techniques. Maybe in 50 years we do have a new technology that meets the crtieria needed, maybe not, but the same happened before and I'm sure it'll happen again.
Supposedly it's being used according to a few articles I've seen, but I've heard the electricity there isn't reliable.
PSA: we often hold similar events at bstn.cc, in CS and math.
That makes him a talker.
1) I found my first job out of grad school via a startup's Show HN post. It began a successful chain of SWE positions for me and unlocked many doors.

2) I was inspired to relearn JS and web development when Jen Dewalt's fabulous journey of 100 (now 180) websites in 100 (180) days was posted daily: https://jenniferdewalt.com/. I credit it with giving me the baseline to pass those interviews. I later had the luck to work with Jen and the joy of letting her know how she shaped my career.

3) Introduced me to Clojure which I loved having learned Scheme in the past. This baseline again allowed me to nail that first job interview.

4) In general, keeps me up to date on emerging technologies, services, and trends. Knowing about sendgird and postmates and their general features and pricing off the top of my head in my most recent job interview seemed to earn me some bonus points from the CTO.
hacker news is good to me for keeping a bead on latest tech stuff (sometimes related to work). i've def gotten some use mainly out of finding new processes, apps, etc. that help run business better.

it's filtered significantly better than something like reddit, but ultimately if you spend any good amount time on it you're just "wasting it". if you want tangible benefits in anything you have to "do" vs. accumulating knowledge.
Much of Eastern religion/philosophy is based in metaphysical idealism compared to western materialism which is why the specific arrangement of materials of a building is not treated as being important compared to the conceptual existence of the building. The ship of theseus is whatever he uses to cross the water; the planks it's made of are of no relevance. "ship" is just a designation of use.
There is the crypto-Rand crowd as you've described it, but there's also the neoliberal technocratic mindset that everything can be condescendingly fixed with technology or scientific/bro-scientific inquiry. In this case, the technocratic ideology is considered as standing outside of the realm of ideology and culture, and as a natural result of enlightened thought that manages to transcend bias. By this framework, "normal" people must be manipulated for their own good.
I agree with most of the comments here.

The article dies little if anything to help K6 educators (or students) understand electricity.

I think K6 should teach something good along the lines of safety/fun, and 6-12 something along the lines of practicality.

I learned Ohm's law when I was about 10 via "multi-kits" like so many other kids of my generation. This basic knowledge of electricity has served me well over the decades. It is seldom taught in school. Why?

I still don't really understand Maxwell's equations, but neither does your average electrician. That doesn't mean your average electrian doesn't have more knowledge about practical electricity than your average scientist who does understand Maxwell.
Thank you for taking the time to explain it so succinctly. This has to be one of the best comments I've read in a while. Now I can't wait to take Toit for a drive...
French also has "tension" in this very sense.

I would guess its not total societal collapse but economical collapse. No matter what, humans must interact and commerce will exist. It’s usually in forms of bartering when the financial system is in crisis and physical gold historically, has been the best medium for bartering.
I have. IntelliJ ultimate edition still has fewer features for PHP specifically than Phpstorm.

Presumably not because it actually has fewer features, but because "the debugger" now has 150 options instead of like 5.

Also, these super-featured IDEs still won't support languages that Jetbrains doesn't have a specific IDE for. For instance, Delphi. Sure they'll support syntax highlighting somehow, and there might be one plugin.

VSCode probably has 20+ search results if you look up Delphi

I mean sure, if the "failed policies" are opposing US imperialism in Latin America, inviting a huge backlash of sanctions, several US-sponsored coups, etc.
the real question is, why does the counter-party accept the inflating currency, knowing that the value of it is falling like a rock? why not demand real goods and assets over worthless paper?

If you have an iPhone, you can use the Apple TV remote on the phone which will show a text input you can type on (on any form text input). This has the added bonus of being able to access your keychain for automatic password filling

I have enabled the tv remote on control center - I’m not sure if it’s there by default. You should be able to toggle it in settings
I can't access this article. Is there another way?
Religion is just a specific way of encoding useful lessons into oral/written tradition. So it could well be that keeping the trade alive was the original reason but it became a religious doctrine so as not to be violated.
HN’s politics tend to range from neoliberal to (crypto)fascist. You’re more likely to get downvoted for criticising imperialism than for praising Milton Friedman or Pinochet.

It’s not surprising considering the class composition and overall material position of its audience.
Maybe, maybe not. Reserve currency status keeps borrowing rates low. But it also forces a current account deficit. How those balance with respect to domestic money supply is complicated, and not necessarily one sided. Plenty of economists recommend abandoning reserve currency status to balance our monetary policy.
They fscked themselves, they would be as they are even if they were the single country of the planet. Unfortunately they are not, and Brazil and Colombia have received millions of Venezuelan refugees.

Disclaimer: Used to work as an engineer for a top stock site(s).

What is the main competitive advantage to Unsplash? Unsplash has many thousands of images. Does this have more? Are they higher quality? (From the looks on the homepage they look of poorer quality) Follow-up, is there anything you're doing different than any other stock site?

Stock sites are a boring business because there is often little innovation. Don't get me wrong, they can be very profitable but nonetheless boring. Unsplash I believe was successful in part due to the CC license and offering an API to get images quick. I'm not seeing as much on Lensflare.
I have heard about this method in the context of group manipulation - "to be delphied" i.e.:

Several years ago I bought a couple of the $100 Trillion Zimbabwe bills off eBay and got them framed as a gift for my banker brother-in-law. The owner of the frame shop was concerned about having money of that denomination on the premises, but I pointed out that I was going to pay him more for the frame than the bills were worth.
See my other comment (the one that talks about DOM hackery). It's got the full content in it.
I never said there was, I just said that hyperinflation always (as far as I know) is related to external debts in an external currency.

Printing money does cause inflation, proportional to the amount printed. But hyper inflation is caused by money printing to pay external debts.
Hence adoption of Bitcoin in Venezuela is much quicker than the rest of the world. Example: https://observablehq.com/@coindesk-research/localbitcoins-pa...

Would love to see an updated map, but I'm not sure I understand how I could update the data behind it.
This is what happens when you destroy a productive economy through price fixing, extreme taxation, and extreme redistribution policies which then leave you with no other choice but predatory loans on international markets that of course you cannot repay because you’ve destroyed your economy.
That's fair. I see that in software encoding to x264, in OBS (though admittedly the M1 is running under Rosetta still). The iMac Pro can reliably stream at 'slow' quality level, but the M1 can barely go above 'ultrafast' without choking.

You've nailed it as far as the reason: if you can come up with a task that legitimately needs parallelism that heavy, that's where the Xeon comes into its own. Anything lighter, and the M1 starts to zip ahead.

> I saw this on dev.to, loved it so much I downloaded it.

Whoa, that is not how this works. The big thing about Unsplash is the license guarantee. If this is just random images you found elsewhere, then this is just Google Images or imgur. This is not a site of vetted stock images.
> strongest case certainly seems to be for funding illegal activities and capital flight

A currency with built-in functionality to track everything, forever and making that data public seems to be good for funding illegal activities?

I would like to think just cash in various currencies would be the best for that. Washing cash is not exactly a new thing and sometimes boring technology is best.

Modern CPUs, like Zen2, have vastly more f64 multiplier throughput than 64 bit integer multiplier throughput.

This goes so far, that Intel added an AVX512 instruction to expose this 52/53 bit multiplier for integer operations, to accelerate bigint cryptography calculations like RSA and ECC.

I think Twilight hatred is dominant, to the point of being a mainstream cultural stereotype. Comic books have mostly gained mainstream success, whereas Twilight, which has also seen success in its field, has never not been hated by the mainstream.
I've been doing this for my own blog posts (https://planflow.dev/blog) of late, as well as within my book (https://gumroad.com/l/Debbg/z823cp8), and I have to say, the engagement levels are INSANE.

I *HIGHLY* recommend it.

Some tips:

- Understand that a drawing is a low fidelity synthesis of an idea.

The first skill to get good at, is breaking down what you're trying to say into its 'essence'. The most important PARTS of it.

This comes with practice, but a good way to do it is by writing, and then editing that writing, strangely enough.

- Learn the fundamentals of design

Understanding the basics of design, such as color theory, typography and layout composition gives you a great advantage when it comes to your drawing technique. There is no secret here, you will just have to learn the basics and then practice.

- Use FAST tools

I use Figma for all of blog drawings [1]. Why? because it's online, and most importantly, it's very FAST. And fast helps me speed up my iteration (and therefore 'learning') cycles. Fast is highly underestimated when learning. Fast is a superpower.

- Use templates

If you take a look at the drawings I have on my blog, you'll notice that I use similar templates for each one. In fact they all start from the same template.

Using a template gives you the confidence to get over the 'blank page' anxiety that often derails beginners. Allowing you to build up a momentum that will KEEP you drawing. And if you keep drawing, you WILL get better.

I plan to write more about this in the next few weeks, as a blog post. If you're interested in reading it, select one of the posts on the blog [1] and add your email address at the bottom! :)

Hope this helps!

That's not a "fact". That's a counterfactual which you hypothesise, without any reason or evidence whatsoever, will have horrible consequences. And an analogy that doesn't work. As we say in German: "Nicht alles was hinkt ist auch ein Vergleich".

Your seatbelt analogy, apart from being pulled out of thin air, has absolutely nothing to do with what happened. The seatbelts are preventative measures before an accident happens. These were measures after the accident happened that were way over the top. A better analogy is a doctor seeing a bruise on an arm and deciding to amputate the arm, just to be safe. And then amputating both legs as well, because "better safe than sorry".

The "cure" is far worse than the disease.

With Chernobyl there was the excuse that they didn't know better, they only found out in the decades after the accident that their initial estimates for the harm caused by the radiation were way too high, as in several orders of magnitude off. I really recommend reading the WHO reports[1], they were an actual eye opener for me, because they contradicted what I "knew" to be the case.

Again, they were not off in terms of the scale of the accident, they were off on the effects of an accident of a particular scale. Not like your seat-belt analogy at all.

Now a good question to ask is why they were off by so much. It looks like the Linear Non Threshold Model of radiation damage is simply wrong[2]. As far as I can tell, this model was never actually validated by data, it was just assumed to be the case, and if you look at the "pro" voices, they also provide no evidence for, just that they think the lack of evidence means it should be viewed as true, which is...odd.

With Fukushima, there is less of an excuse, as they could and should have known. See also J-value assessment of relocation measures following the nuclear power plant accidents at Chernobyl and Fukushima Daiichi [3]. Money quote:

"•Relocation was unjustified for 75% of the 335,000 people relocated after Chernobyl.

• Relocation was unjustified for the 160,000 people relocated after Fukushima."

Mandatory evacuation of residents during the Fukushima nuclear disaster: an ethical analysis[4]:

"We examine the measures from an ethical perspective and argue that if the government's aim was to avoid health risks posed by radiation exposure, then ordering compulsory expulsion of all residents cannot be ethically justified. We assert that the government may not have ordered the mandatory evacuation solely based on health risks, but rather to maintain public order."

Nice collection and very informative. However, it would be nice to have a picture of each calculator either as the main link or right at the top of the info page. Its inconvenient to have scroll down the page looking for the image links. I was looking for one of my old calculators but I don't remember its model number. Having pictures on top would allow immedatiate navigation.
By admitting it is both right and wrong, and it entirely depends on the context and purpose whether one should decide it is "right" or whether it is "wrong".

Kids are using electrical plugs wrong when they stick a pointy object in it. That doesn't mean electrical plugs without child safety close to the ground aren't potential hazards.

Kids damaging their hands doing control-stick spinning minigames using a N64 controller without gloves are "doing it wrong", they could just wear gloves. Still, Nintendo lost that case, and such minigames were deemed problematic.

People browsing a website where the links turn invisible, the mouse doesn't turn into a pointer, the browser doesn't show it is loading and no loading icon is shown, are "doing it wrong" for not just waiting 10 seconds for the page to load. Despite that, UX practices rightly condemn this kind of behavior: at least add an "alive" indicator.

To some degree, you have to make things "stupid proof". That's part of this field. If for some reason, Scrum allows managers more power to micromanage, that's a potential hazard which has to be admitted. That's the problem with the "you're doing it wrong" argument. It doesn't acknowledge potential hazards. Instead, it tries to circumvent that discussion and blindly assumes that developers both can and should "just fix it" when managers are doing it wrong. There's no discussion to be had when everything goes back to "you're using the tool wrong", even if that tool is designed poorly.

What's worse, go and be the guy telling managers that Scrum should be getting them out of a job. The only people I see doing that are the people not dependent on managers, e.g. Uncle Bob and Allen Hobub, and anonymous reactions here. When you're the one who might lose their job making that statement, suddenly, suffering under misimplemented Scrum and whining about it on the internet doesn't seem so weird anymore.
I learned about the CentOS 8 story and could cancel a pending upgrade. Saved a lot of effort.
This happens with domestic law enforcement as well. During the lockdown there were several articles about federal agencies relying on private companies for location data.

I don't disagree. It is true I feel sentimental, the sadness is only that what I had at that precise moment in history was so amazing and so "let's just try it and see how it goes" from educators, platforms and students that it made it so easy to access great classes including lecturers time from places like Stanford for free. What I got is not available for free. All the knowledge is available, from free and open sources though. Just not packaged as easily.

But you are still correct.
