The conspiracy theorist in me suspects that Intel must be applying heavy-handed pressure to OEMs to keep them in line long enough for Intel to release a better architecture in a couple of years.

The realist in me says that AMD has had major supply issues delivering the 7nm Zen3 chips in any appreciable quantity while Intel literally prints 14nm chips like it's going out of style.

Given that you can spec a comparable Ryzen vs. Intel system on Dell's site I'm thinking Dell is just prioritizing their marketing focus on the systems where they can move the most volume. Else they'd be shooting themselves in the foot with "SOLD OUT" notices and backlogs.
Scoop is my favorite tool of this type on Windows, but it's not a package manager either[1]:

> Simpler than packaging. Scoop isn't a package manager, rather it reads plain JSON manifests that describe how to install a program and its dependencies.

I haven't tried WinGet, but Chocolatey still seems like the best package manager on Windows. Which is unfortunate, as it's very unfriendly to use, promotes their Pro plans too agressively, and like the article says, slow.

At some point in my organization's press toward Ansible, I came to the realization that Ansible the product is yet another layer of abstraction that is there for its own sake, and of dubious value. I converted a simple script to patch stuff, something that is trivial to write and run, and the yum module behaves different enough from the command-line yum that I have to learn a different way to get and parse the output. AWS logs also behave the same way, impossible to take up and read, quickly, trivially. Why do people read logs? To find out what happened, and do so quickly. Someone will argue that logs are so verbose we need to make them machine-friendly vs. people-friendly, so we can make tools to process them. Somewhere in the past 5 years we've gone toward making things more tool-friendly that humans can no longer interact with them in meaningful way. Some time in the future when something else supplants Ansible, shell will still be there, and still works. Meanwhile, I crib from Ansible docs and StackOverflow just to get things to work the way it did, and the pay-off is ... what exactly?

Edited to add:

Years ago Solaris10 converted the rc boot scripts to what was systemd precursor, SMF. I drank the koolaid, yes! we can build dependencies now, we have service-level kernel events now! I can get rid of daemons and watchdog scripts now! The innards of SMF was indecipherable XML, dependencies grew, you could no longer find a good system view when you ask SMF, and you couldn't easily find and fix what's wrong with the service file. At the time, it was designed to be un-messed-around-with by keyboard-happy warrior greybeard sysadmins, judged to be a source of instability and inconsistency.
> It's kind of a waste

To you. What I or someone not you does is up to them. For example, keeping a window full screen might have a lot of empty/negative space, but sometimes that's the desired effect to cover up all of the other things attempting to grab one's attention without having to hide/minimize other windows.
This is contrary to what normally happens when you have try/finally without catch; in that case, it is rethrown automatically. That would be confusing if it was different, I think, and worthless if it was the same (being doing nothing).
Cool, have you looked into getting the original Windows fonts in there as well (title bar, start menu etc)? Helvetica I think?
> None of them pr[a]y to God when in danger.

The entire story of LotR is of people either obeying or defying a divine command, delivered through an angel, to sacrifice apparent immediate self interest to defeat a fallen angel and his followers.

Plenty of stories in the Bible don’t deal so much with ritual religious observance by the characters was with following (or not) moral rules and/or response to divine emissaries (there are stories where religious observance in the more quotidien ritual sense is center-stage, but also plenty where it is entirely, or almost entirely, off-stage.)
Here's the website: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/edge/kids-mode

It says "Not supported for Linux" (though it's supported on Android). I'm actually fine with that, wouldn't want to let micros~1 spy on my kids anyway.
It’s funny, if you had told me this was going to be introduced when DMCA was, I would have said Canadians would literally switch ISPs in order to avoid this.

Now, I’m not so sure. Content blocking on YouTube and the occasional DMCA takedown notice on a Google web search tend to be the only hints you get of piracy online.

Most people used to pirate all kinds of media, now we’ve Spotify and YouTube and Netflix and Disney+, etc. It’s never been easier to skip the physical disc and listen or watch media for free.

That said, I could see unintended consequences. For example, this might be intended for piracy but we should keep in mind that our ISPs are often the ones owning significant media properties in Canada.

Imagine Bell Canada getting the green light to block piracy services and deciding that any service which lets you watch content internationally, such as a VPN service, should be blocked in Canada and the content along with it?

At what point would ISPs interpret this as a way to protect their IP-based business models?

And at what point might the system open up to DMCA or YouTube style content strikes vs proper determination of copyright infringement. I’d be furious if GitHub repos started disappearing when tools, especially for education, are distinct from copyrighted materials being shared.

I could even imagine a future where adblockers are considered copyright infringement because they modify the page or stream that the rights holder intended to serve. Once you allow ISPs to meddle with traffic on their own, they might not know where to stop, given a few decades.
Well, you need a place to live right? So that's rent you would otherwise have been paying to someone else. If it's a secondary property and you rent it out, it's a positive sum because someone is paying you rent.

> This reads like the web dev equivalent of "don't dress inappropriately". What's easier? Reworking half your front-end to meet some vague criteria and half-guessed heuristics of Google's as tagger and praying none of your transitive dependencies is calling a particular method - or adding one well-defined HTTP header?

I addressed this in the following paragraph:

> If you have to resort to adding a Permissions-Policy header to opt your site out of FLoC, it means that you’ve accidentally opted yourself in by including a tracking script (malware) on your page. I’d wager that opting into FLoC wasn’t the only nefarious thing those scripts do; chances are they bundle a host of other fingerprinting measures.

This xkcd sums it up a bit crudely: https://xkcd.com/463/. The fact that you even have to add this header means that your page is probably loading tracking scripts full of other antifeatures already; you have a bigger problem on your hands.

> This new header is sent from sites to the browser, and only a single party needs to implement compliance - Google. And they have already signalled compliance.

Given that other giants signaled compliance with DNT before backpedaling when their shareholders gave them a call and that it's in Google's best interests to do the same this time, I'm not optimistic that asking everyone to patch their software to include this header as a default (something I've seen several people advocating for on upstream software such as Mastodon) is a great idea.
This is interesting. I have something similar - I get a text each morning counting down the number of days until I turn 80.

Not that it is my death day, but I picked it as the age that most people have finished accomplishing big things.

Wait until you see Spring Boot.
What you say is right and that is how password managers work. However, human habit is that people generally keep their password in their heads. The point of giving a secondary key is that:

1. Since it is longer, the user is forced to store it in a file or some other place

2. The message behind "recovery key" is different to the "password" so users react different to it. Giving it more value and attention.

3. Encryption keys are still rare in clients so it stands out and the user again gives it more attention.

With that said, it is entirely possible that the user won't save the key or lose it. In which case, nothing can be done.

It isn't an ideal solution to account recovery problem but so far I have found this to be the only solution if you are going the zero-knowledge route.
Here's an honest question that I've pondered occasionally, without really spending the time to research an answer. Not sure if this is biology, chemistry, etc, but would appreciate any insights HN readers may have:

They are trivial to relocate to if you have money and would be the one actually paying the high taxes (top half of middle-class income and above).

There is a reason people making 6 figure+ salaries aren’t clamoring to move to France/Portugal/Brazil/Sweden. They aren’t actually all that desirable if you are the one paying the brunt of the taxes.

If you’re actually “passionate about taxes” and you don’t make good money, you would be happy to relocate to the country with the highest taxes for low income... Swaziland.

Apple boots children's game that was front for online casino from App Store
"[...] the app used 'shady ads' and screenshots to convince users to download it. The only way to access the online casino was through a VPN (unless you already lived in Turkey) where users could make deposits using Mastercard, Visa, and even cryptocurrencies.

Despite multiple reviews apparently reporting that people had deposited money on the promise of bonuses never to receive anything return and a fairly wonky-looking description, the scam reportedly persisted on the App Store for "a few months", and the same developer reportedly has another such scam app."
Notwithstanding all the benefits of a package manager, it's always seemed to me like it's not a very idiomatic way to manage Windows apps.

I wonder why after all this time Microsoft hasn't created an API to allow applications to register background update checks, like for example allowing applications to hook into the Windows update process or something. That seems like it would be more intuitive for most Windows users than a command-line package manager.

Of course they have some attempts at this but they don't cover every kind of application. Like ClickOnce (only for .NET) or Windows Store (only for UWP)
I've looked but they don't seem to exist. Closest I found was MIDI pad controllers (around £40) but I'm not sure about the ergonomics of using a pad as a button.

I used to use mushrooms from time to time in my youth, and had some great experiences (which I've written about on HN before).

As far as danger, I think that, as with many things, it's about maturity, education and harm reduction.

I had a single bad experience with mushrooms, and it put me off ever taking them again. I was too young and immature (something like 15/16), and took about 5x more than I'd ever taken before. I can see now that it was obviously very stupid. If I'd been in a different location at the time, god only knows what could have happened to me - I'd say that, if abused, mushrooms can be far, far more dangerous than driving a car.

But - if the science backs it up, psylocilin could do amazing things for those with depression. And furthermore, sensible people can have amazing experiences. So as long as education and harm reduction is in place, I'm all for it.

So basically funds cannot advertise to poor people, or at all because poor people might hear. Those are the regulations in this country. To get around that (aside from using a different registration exemption), a person in the fund is elevated to mythical celebrity status and just talks about money topics a lot, while the fund self fulfills this person’s prophecies by throwing money at all problems (investments inside the company to make them profitable, whether the fund can liquidate at those prices or not)

Hi HN!

I created this originally to be able to find cheapest interruptible GPU resource.

It has grown to cover all possible instance types for major cloud providers.

Current features:

- Data refreshed every week

- Seven major cloud providers covered

- CPU or GPU instance hunting

- On-demand or interruptible pricing

- Filter by CPU, RAM, Region or Vendor

- Sort by Price, Price per CPU, Price per GB RAM, Price per GPU and many others

Final goal is to allow one click depoyment of desired instance.

the unstated part here is that in the absence of a compiler-visible atomic modelling system, an atomic model is implemented in `core::atomic` and LLVM. similarly, a `kcore` library could provide atomic types just like the way the LKMM is defined as a library in-tree.

this is not a language limitation, as the language is able to emit LLVM atomic operations just fine. like allocations, it needs people with a defined goal (like the kernel) to provide a target for implementations to reach; proäctive creation of a model without knowing if it has an audience is not worthwhile, which is why it hasn't been done

Struggling to see the difference with chocolatey.. both do the same thing: download some binaries and install stuff, run arbitrary scripts for whatever they need, track dependencies, versions, etc.

In fact it took far too long for chocolatey to even consider _uninstall_ that it was a total mess for years while maintainers played catch-up.
Chocolatey is quite good as well and in my opinion it does what it is supposed to. It only supports NuGet v2 which is becoming a problem, but being a open source project it's anyone's guess when improved NuGet support will be available.

https://github.com/chocolatey/choco/issues/508

The big win with WinGet is mostly that it is a proper supported solution backed by Microsoft. But WinGet seems to require some more months before it is ready for primetime.
I believe the real answer is between column A and column B. It would not surprise me to learn that Intel has exclusive product agreements with certain manufacturers top shelf products like the Thinkpad X1, Surface Pro, and the Dell XPS. Long before the shortage, people have been wondering why they can't buy any of these products with a Ryzen CPU. A Ryzen Thinkpad X1 would be an instant purchase for me personally.

However, there is no denying that AMD is having supply issues and is arguably mismanaging the supply they do have with their constant paper launches.

I'm curious if Intel will be able to turn tides in time before mainstream opinion follows reality. AMD is quite far ahead, ARM (not just with Apple M1) is a generation ahead, and Microsoft dominance (i.e. x86 dominance) is fading.

Either Intel has a fully new architecture ready and is just waiting for the best time to unveil the beast in the making, or they're starting to be part of history.

Reminds me a bit of Boeing in the face of SpaceX and Airbus. Maybe a bit unfair, since Intel is innovating, just apparently without much luck until today.
