Not sure about Amazon datacenters, but I know an actual person in real life who went from an unskilled Amazon warehouse worker to a full-time SDE at Amazon with zero previous coding experience or a relevant degree. All in a 1-year timespan iirc, simply going through one of the training programs that their warehouse offered.

Apparently, those on-the-job training programs that Amazon offers actually tend to work at times. And of course this is just a single datapoint not indicative of anything, but it kinda shows that those programs might actually work to a degree. I don't doubt that their success rate is likely not even close to 100%, but if it worked even for a chunk of the people attempting it, it is still something.
Are the harsh RAM limitations a symptom of the M1 chip? 16GB is terribly low for anyone that uses VMs.
I would be fine with a bit more sincerity, something like:
"we don't care about privacy, so go somewhere else". Or if you want to translate it you can put a message like "the EU market is too small for us to even consider implementing non tracking ads, we are sorry we can't sell your data anymore!"
OT but AntennaPod is amazing, and open source. I switched from Pocket Casts and it's amazing.
I wonder if it will use that Intel hate speech NLP technology called "Bleep".
There's also an A12 Bionic.
I use https://readwise.io with my e-reader, it saves and manages my highlights and emails me daily updates what I find important. It's seriously good for retaining important information.
Why did you post this? Their S-1 still hasn't been publically released yet, and this news that they filed it with the SEC is from ~1 month ago.
The author writes "since Mars has 38% of Earth’s gravity, it can only retain an atmosphere of about 0.38 bar". My understanding of atmospheres work is, at best, non-existant, so does anyone mind explaining what happens if we over-pressurize Mars?

This question might totally misunderstand the situation, but the Martian atmosphere is about 2.5x10^16 kg right now [1]. Let's say I have a Very Large Tank, with an equivalent amount of gas at the exact same composition as Mars, but at an exotically high pressure. Then, I quickly dump the gases into the atmosphere, and now the Martian atmosphere is 5x10^16 kg. Is the pressure no higher?

Does the pressure spike to, say, double at first, and then slowly burn off from the atmosphere flying out of the influence of Mars gravity, returning back to a steady 0.38 bar?

I view Apple devices as devices for developers AND artists. Sometimes artists are better served.
> This is not true. Compile times are usually much better with modules.

What significantly improves compile-times is Pre-Compiled Headers (PCH), which most compilers have supported for decades.

The study you mention, does not show data for them.

Having ported one >1 million LOC C++ app to use modules in two compilers, the compile time improvement of modules over PCH was not distinguishable from noise.

Modules have many advantages, like better encapsulation, etc.

The main thing people want from them seems to be better compile times, which is the one thing they don't deliver, at least over the PCH solutions that have existed for decades, are already supported by all build systems, etc.

Compared to modules, PCHs are "zero-effort" and deliver performance instantaneously.
Thanks! I really liked some of the examples there.

Do you have any links to other work, or are you primarily interested in what can be coded?
Always been fascinated by the precision and logic of legal writing. Could you go into more detail on how you would take notes and process the information and encode it into long-term memory? And how someone can improve their reading comprehension and recall of dense texts.
Cops cared about my stolen bicycle. They took my report, were very happy I brought a copy of the original invoice and a few weeks later I had mail informing me they had retrieved my bicycle and that I could pick it up. This was in Germany, mind you.
Can library be licensed under AGPL and class path exemption ?

Seems like it will be better solution then MPL.
Who says that won’t continue to be the case? This is just an easy way for the podcaster to make money without advertising. I’d happily support the 1-2 podcasts I religiously consume to get rid of ads.
Even if I guess IE11 is technically not EOL'd by Microsoft, they will stop supporting it for 365 services on Aug 17 this year, so I'm curious what kind of businesses are still using it.
I'm willing to bet we can get at least the 20% return, they're still "officially" down. I bet it'll be a few hours till they say we're good.

Everyone make sure you've got detailed tickets into their service queue. Get your creds!
low-cost, low-power battery monitoring is like pretty much the most solved problem ever.
- It is called the "WORLD WIDE web", not the "local web". If you go to a place you ought to respect its fundamental purpose, no matter if it is a physical place or a virtual one.

- We live in a highly globally interconnected society. Actions everywhere on the planet have consequences everywhere on the planet. If the US fabric of society blows up after their previous clinically insane president incited violence for years, that WILL have consequences for Europe. If only for the thousands of nukes they have and the trillions they spend on military and invading unstable regions.

Also remember that we're being asked to spend tons of money on the NATO to aid in defending US interest.

It is thus of very HIGH interest for me as a European to know WTF is going on in the US because it may end up killing us all, and even if not we still pay for their shenanigans.

So denying us knowledge of affairs we're *very* involved in is rude.

- My country's military has been in Afghanistan for 20 years because of the US invasion. Nobody knows for how long we will be target of terrorist attacks for that. And as a thank you for all of this, I can't even read your local news sites. I wonder how much the US would be enraged if that situation were reversed?
I just dont get it (or perhaps not able to digest it). Nurses and teachers are two of the most critical professions for a nation, nay a civilization. Yet we get away with what is essentially abuse with their treatment. How is this inversion of prioirity being gotten away with?
Fun fact: the GP mentions they met Iranians, and these people are Parsis - Zoroastrian Persian immigrants to India.
Cool! I would like to try this out in my blog, can this be integrated with statically generated pages using jekyll?
Tech specs for both the iPad Pro and the iMac show this still is the case.
No. Does not require exclusivity.
The change was purely around the marketing name. It's still the same "iOS" for both.
I believe another comment mentioned that this will be supported in an OS update in the future for prev gens.
That sounds nice in theory, but the reality is also that a lot of more permissively licensed (BSD / Apache) projects now cannot use (most) parts of Grafana / Loki / Tempo anymore, since realistically they won't be able to or want to switch to the AGPL as well (because of all the pain that would incur on others, in turn). That means that basically the whole free code sharing idea goes out of the window, at least in one direction – Grafana can of course still integrate code from more permissively licensed projects into their codebase.
> IBM is probably legally OK telling him he can't work on the kernel on a driver for IBM hardware that he started working on as part of a team at IBM without facing employment consequences.

Yes I am not contesting this. But that's because the contract allows IBM to mess with hobbies, not because some things, by virtue of being under the pervue of the contract, are no longer hobbies.

I am not going to allow somebody else's contract to indirectly change the meaning of english words.

> We don't know the backstory. There could have been confrontation or issues between the other IBM employees working on this with the employee asked to stop. Having him then demand to still work with those employees through the kernel as a "hobby" would then be problematic.

That doesn't make it not a hobby though. IBM has contractual power (unfortunately) to control their employees outside conributions, but it's philosophically dangerous extend that contractual control to re characterize what it means to contribute to Linux on your own time.
Thanks a lot for that information!
Just don't lie to us. The text as is just says "fuck you" in fancy language. It's insulting.
Thanks guys! Will be addressed.
I use actual remote for normal use, and iphone whenever I have to edit text. Seems like the best of both worlds?

To be clear I use my TVs remote with HDMI CEC, not that insane apple remote.
Probably not. Windows-on-Bootcamp used drivers written by Apple for their peripherals, but with M1 devices they aren't writing or offering Windows drivers anymore. So Microsoft or someone would have to write them, which seems unlikely. You can run ARM64 Windows 10 in Parallels on M1 Macs though, and that does have DirectX 11 support and x86_64 translation, but it's still pretty slow I think.

Honestly, if you want to play some Steam games on ARM macOS (and to be clear, I think PC gaming on a mac will always be rough), your best bet is to fork over some cash and buy CrossOver for Mac. CrossOver combined with Rosetta 2 can run x86 Windows binaries on an M1 ARM Mac, and Rosetta 2 is really impressive and well tuned.
just wrap the airtag in something that reduces sound and now u can track android users. no one is gonna head something on the bottom of their car.
> so it's rather a waste of factors

Not really. Multiplication by two is by far the most common thing that happens in life (when cells divide, they divide by 2, not by 3). So easy multiplication by 2 AND 4 is far more important than the occasional by 3, which is no better, really, than in the decimal system.

I sold my nearly maxed out 16" MacBook Pro for an M1 Air. I hated the 16" with a passion, but the Air is my favourite computer I've ever owned.

It sounds like a criticism, but the best thing about it is that it gives me absolutely no cause to ever think about it. I don't get irritated by it being burning hot and loud as hell because it's always cool and silent. I don't have to worry about battery life because it just lasts all day. I don't constantly bump stuff on the Touch Bar because it has actual function keys.

It just gets the hell out of the way and lets me do my job. That would be enough, but it's also drastically faster than the 16" at literally everything I do day-to-day, which is nice.
Sorry if I misinterpreted, maybe it’s just the loaded phrase used as a quip that threw me off.

I agree, the way forward is to revise the structure and incentives. However, I don’t want to completely absolve individuals of moral responsibility just because they’re playing within the rules of “the game”
"something to do with our DB"

Oof. Is there something about what they do that prevents you from having a completely separate second site? Or is this a case where "bad data" is being happily propagated to the redundant site?

As core as the service is, I imagined a panic button that reverted the database for site #2 to some specified point in time.

Absurd agreements in favor of the employer become "standard practice" because people bend over and take it. Unless you need money, push back.

Health tech space? I can guess their idea is secure information sharing without even meeting them. There, now you have their secret idea and are free to work on health-related information sharing forever! No restrictions or NDAs. You're welcome.
Somewhere else I saw NodeJS take the lead was parsing of vast quantities of large XML files in the streaming media world.

DDEX is the industry standard for metadata communication (artist, track, licensing, credits, etc.).

One 20-track Xmas classical music compilation album could easily have a single 150MB XML file!
If Apple allowed macOS on the iPad, I wonder if they’d allow Rosetta?
As long as there are oppressive financial systems (central banks, the world bank, the current financial pyramid) crypto (decentralized) currencies are going to be around and will provide a needed _service_. The harder the folks (running the 'official Ponzi scheme') fight crypto the more valuable crypto currency technology will be, more smart folks will pay attention to it and it will evolve further.

Since there is no way on Earth that the financial elite will just give up and go away, demand for crypto transactions will be ever present. They can pass laws to make it illegal, but that means that servicing the demand is going to be even more profitable. Consider that the risk of owning an outlawed crypto currency is nowhere near to carrying around a kilo of white powder...

Every time a windbag (insider/rich guy/financial guru), like Taleb or Bill Gates, bad mouths crypto, it should be considered an endorsement of the concept.

Which crypto you choose to put your fiat into however, is your business.
Single valid counter point here. :)
Generally I want 90th, 99th, and max on the same graph/plot. Otherwise there's less sense of the overall distribution.

90th percentile is the fast path. You notice overall effects of growth, load, regressions, etc. 99th percentile (or sometimes 99.9th) is often the actual SLA/SLO so it should be on the plot. Max, as you point out, is necessary to actually see the long tail.

The other thing that's important is to make sure the timeseries and plotting software isn't averaging the max value; it's easy to miss spikes of latency because someone thought the graphs looked nicer with avg(1 min) vs max(1 min) or a tsdb is automatically rewindowing/aggregating with the wrong function. To a lesser extent even percentile buckets can be deceiving if they're too big. 99th percentile with 5-min buckets can miss significant but brief (~3 second) degradations.
The first Intel iMac was released in early 2006 and supported until Lion was released in mid 2011.

That's five and a half years. Not three.

And the last PowerPC iMac was late 2005, and supported until Snow Leopard in late 2009. That's four years, not two.

So I guess that is the one case of not supporting four year old hardware (barely), but that's not analogous to the M1 since it dropped support for the old architecture, not an older model of the new architecture.
The Chrysler Turbo Encabulator
right. it's even more frustrating in light of the amazing advances in parallel processing for these devices over the years, which are essentially being ignored. at the very least, they could offload the animation to secondary threads/processes and unblock the i/o, which would allow the keypresses to be registered correctly even as you wait for the UI to catch up. instead, you're forced to wait for the animation to finish before registering the next input.

the computer should serve the whims of the user, not the other way around.
Interesting choice of colours. I suspect they look better together than individually.

They're certainly not for pro video or photography, where a coloured frame is the last thing you want. Which suggests they're aimed deliberately at the school, home, and hipster office markets.

Add me to this list of those waiting for an M1X iMac Pro with at least 64GB and no-compromise screen. And a black bezel.

So does this mean the M1X is delayed? Or this is Apple's tick/tock?
I agree.

AGPL is nice and all but for contributors this does not really matter at all because of the CLAs.

I will never contribute to projects which reserve the right to relicense, e.g. take ownership over my contributions, however small or big they are. I think companies will do the same.

If they would remove the CLAs, they would signal to companies and contributors that they are serious in providing an open ecosystem, to which other people contribute willingly "for free". But currently they are not, likely because they fear competition.
Had to scroll way too far in this discussion to find a kindred spirit. I despise bluetooth. It's so flaky, invasive, and resource hungry.
No, I'm not. Nuclei fuse. A proton is just a hydrogen-1 nucleus, and neutron capture isn't fusion.
We could definitely work towards that!
I will pay you cash money for this functionality, if you can get it to use a delegatable OAuth2 token instead of requiring my iCloud password. I've looked into this, and because this particular use case is not supported in the iCloud public API, all that remain are horrifying hacks.
I will vote for any party that will make online tracking illegal. Ad targeting should be limited.
Two Thunderbolt, 2 USB-C on the better version, 2 Thunderbolt on the cheaper.
That is fair, and we do not claim that Timescale License is open source. (Our Apache 2 core codebase however is open source.)
I'm really curious how accurate this ends up being. Bluetooth location is one thing, but I've never seen bluetooth that can do anything more accurate than "X meters away"

These UWB chips claim to do "X meters away in Y direction". The direction aspect could be revolutionary if it works well. AirTags is the perfect use for it as well.
I browse with JavaScript disabled because A) I don’t see any ads and B) pages load fast on my weak devices (first gen. iPad Air, ~2009 desktop).

I only turn on JavaScript to be able to use the website of my bank.
Sadly there isn't really much that's public for A12 devices.
Is this comment in reference to Wormhole.app? If so, it contains multiple inaccuracies.

1. The salt is only ever used once. All shared files are concatenated into a single stream and encrypted one time.

2. Only end-to-end encrypted file data is sent to the server. By definition, the server cannot be involved in end-to-end encryption.
Not at all. Bubbles are only obvious in hindsight. If somehow you are prescient enough to recognize them reliably in advance, you can make yourself a cool billion easy.
Interesting, why are compilers special in your POV? Why do they need regular maintenance and why don't they allow extension via some kind interfaces, thus allowing for less maintenance?
The anti-stalking feature seems to be... preventing someone from tracking your movements with an AirTag? I don’t get it.
Lack of consequences for those responsible for the decisions. Follow the incentives.

If you want the workplace to improve, hold management responsible for their decisions.
The whole point for me is that I don't want to be responsible for user credentials. I don't trust the security of my app.
capitalism I think.

Almost like airtags to find airtags
I could see having a wider window, say 2 days, for reporting itself. That would give you some time to find your stolen stuff, but would still be an expensive pain in the ass for the stalker to rotate that frequently.
Talking mission critical software on Windows, I encountered two bugs in mspaint lately:

1) when resizing an image in >100% zoom from edge of the screen, it would cut more pixels than you tried to cut (although I don't repro anymore, seems fixed?)

2) sometimes when you press "shift" to draw a straight line, upon releasing shift, the line changes color (very rare repro, but happened to me many times; really curious what's the source of this one).
To be clear, in my browser, no article appeared, I only saw a single blinking eye in the middle of the screen. Together with the title in the link, I was appropriately confused/amused.
I disagree. Finally I can hold my phone again without it threatening to slip out of my hands to the point that a case was essential.
> who basically wanted to acquihire Keivan/AppGet

Keivan is the only one who ever mentioned "acquihire". Microsoft never did so... because there really was nothing to acquire! Keivan made grand statement about his idea being patentable but that he, in the goodness of his heart, decided not to patent anything but... package managers have been around for a long time now so there is really nothing to patent.

Reading through the AppGet code, it basically reads a XAML config with install instructions. CS101 project basically. Seems like he failed his PM interview pretty bad.

Now, all that whining did give him a lot of exposure for his startup here on HN...
What's the point of such services? Every web framework worth its salt supports all common authentication schemes and offers an easy interface to write your own.
Nah, should have kept a What.CD acct or its successors.
I wholeheartedly think http/s is irreparably damaged, for example it is impossible to find good information on search engines, even the free ones like Searx.
If you are able to find a website you can bet it includes 10MiB of trackers and ads.

Hopefully someone writes a better protocol with no third party cookies and heavily restricted javascript.
> It is an open standard.

what's it's RFC number? which body does govern the development of this 'protocol'?
I'm referring only to the library Wormhole uses for this, and its security UX, and to the implications of using vanilla AES-GCM. I don't know of and haven't looked for vulnerabilities in your application.

I wouldn't have fully agreed with the grandparent comment either, but your refutation was also inaccurate, so here we are.
You can use a physical remote without looking at it and that's very hard to do with a smartphone. You also have to constantly unlock it to get back to the remote app if it shuts down. I love the Roku remote, it works so well and the physical buttons are very satisfying.
There’s Ethernet as well.
1) Yes
2) Nope
>gather market share for free then change how it works once you have enough lock in.

They've had podcasts for more than a decade and barely touched it. I assume the new growth in podcasts recently spurred this more than some typical mega corp evil plan from the start.
We do offer an Apache 2 only binary of TimescaleDB which includes our open source core (and excludes the Timescale Licensed features). In fact, many companies (Azure, Digital Ocean, Ali Baba, etc) offer this Apache 2 version to their customers.
I still don't get why the --upload-pack option execute its content... Seems pretty dangerous to me. How did you find that out?
> I don't know if it's a technical restriction or not

More likely because CR batteries don't drop voltage significantly as it discharges. And at full discharge it suddenly drops dead. Which is why it's harder to measure "remaining charge", as that's generally calculated on battery voltage.
yeah, I love the limitations in ios for my phone, but not for my computer!
I understand the frustration but comments like this just make things worse, so please don't.
iPad Pro had A12X/Z, this has just "plain" A12 (although the microarchitecture is the same).
AntennaPod is unfortunately quite lacking if you like to listen to "story" podcasts where you want to listen old -> new.
Could You Stab Somebody with Their Own Frozen Blood?
> You're being employed by IBM for 100% of the time, but you're working 40h of your time

Then they should pay 168 hours / week and not 40

No you don't
I'm guessing this doesn't apply to HN jurisdiction?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Right_to_be_forgotten
Yes, absolutely.

These are not mutually exclusive events.

We need to reduce our emissions and stop pumping oil out (develop clean alternatives).

We need to remove the existing excess of emissions in our atmosphere to get down to more natural levels.
I'm having no trouble running xCode + iOS simulators at all. In fact I think there's some possibility that the iOS simulator could be lighter weight due to ARM -> ARM rather than ARM -> Intel, but that's pure speculation.

Not currently doing any Android work so I can't comment.
The remote clearly has an IR blaster on the front though.
