Words which serve no purpose have no place on the page. But purpose varies with context.

If you're writing a guide to a new API, or a functional specification, then it pays to be as direct as possible.
But if you seek to engage or enrage, to persuade, to illustrate why something taken as good is unmitigated folly, or just give people a reason to come back and read more of your text, then you may need more than a long, drab procession of purely functional sentences.

There is more to eating (and cooking) than the simple absorption of nutrients, and there is more to reading (and writing) than the simple absorption of facts. Unadorned simplicity is not automatically good. I've never managed to get past the first chapter of any Hemingway novel. Hell, the only Hemingway short story I've finished is that one that's six words long. I'd rather read Charles Dickens than Richard Ford, any day of the week. Give me the baroque and the beautiful, not something that's been stamped out by a soulless writing machine.

> As a quick reminder, AMD's flagship 7763 server chips come armed with the 64 Zen 3 cores and 128 threads apiece and have a 2.45 GHz base and 3.5 GHz boost frequency. All told, we're looking at a Cinebench run with 128 cores and 256 threads, which you can see in the tweet below:

Can someone clarify this wording?

It has 64 cores which can each do 128 threads? That doesn't seem right... but then later it says it has 128 cores
One thing businesses should be aware of here, if they go for this, is the legal risk that such transcripts end up being disclosed in a legal discovery process. Most businesses wouldn't want every word that's said in a meeting to be recorded and stored "forever" (which it likely is, if you use a third party cloud based tool).

Also, if you do go for an external tool, there's now someone outside your organisation with a recording and transcript of every meeting you've used this for... That's a potential goldmine - not the kind of company you want you see acquired or merging in the future.

Maybe people's expectations will change due to so many online meetings, but under normal circumstances, I can't imagine many legal teams would want the risk of a third party transcription tool listening in.
Loudspeaker telling the crowd to disperse. OK. And what do Deaf people do?
Not cash per se, but it has cost.
Devil's advocate: It's still effective even if it's possible to bypass. I guarantee it's possible for someone with relatively easy to acquire tools and experience could pick a lock. But you still lock your doors at night. Having imperfect protections can, in the right situation, still work. My best guess is the situation in which one has to make a Linux drive without access to any of the distro websites is enough of a hurdle for your average nine year old.
As you said, "cache handling" possibly did. That's one of few well defined areas where you're handling GC by definition of the task. System programming is about a lot more than that.
If this approach works, why isn't it used by greedy capitalists?

I'd rather invest my money in private company doing this and get a 2% return every year than be taxed to pay for a poorly run government program and get nothing in return. The former will deliver value to customers, the latter won't.
I don't doubt that the knee on the neck was a necessary condition for Floyd's death at that moment, but was it a sufficient condition?

If we replaced Floyd in that moment with a randomly sampled person from the adult population, what percentage would've died in that same situation? 1%? 5%? 30%? 100%?
>Only govt action will work. That too concerted action by several national govts.

Any government action will be a compromise by necessity. Which is why I think EFF doesn't really push for it - even GDPR doesn't ban targeted advertising in full.
Millions of people having problem A doesn't make problem A harder to solve than problem B. I bet most overweight Americans don't want to lose weight. Of course they want to be at that ideal body type, but they don't want to put in the effort and changes to diet and lifestyle it takes to get there.

But we were talking about people actively trying to lose/gain weight, and willing to do the sacrifices, which is a different set of people.
Depending on how obscure the hardware is, there often is a video on youtube that helps. At least for mobile phone and laptops I've always found something.
There's a problem with that question you have to keep in mind.

You're asking a self-selecting population. You're mostly talking to people who are exactly where they want to be.

I think I just found the best low level introduction to Unreal Engine and game programming in general - it is a total gem and deserves more attention.

All concepts are presented in very succinct fashion magically without leaving any questions unanswered.
If cost is the driver behind the decision, nuclear wouldn't stand a chance anyway.
Who would publish it, Apple? They still own System 7.
I definitely recognise this phenomenon. It's amazing how easy it is to apply too much force or apply it in the wrong direction and suddenly you find some tiny plastic clip attempting to break the sound barrier.

The next time you open the same thing it seems completely trivial.
Get closer to sun & sea for desalination, or to rain. Can't just pump water all over and grow cities in deserts indefinitely. I predict Vegas, Phoenix, Tucson, and Albuquerque will be abandoned
within 100 years unless long-distance pumping desalinated water uphill becomes a thing. If so, then water for SW and W states away from coasts will get extremely expensive to where only the rich will be able to afford to live there.
The health improvements might outweigh the risk of injury from falling on the stairs.

This is the case for cycling vs driving to work in at least some cities.
Sadly not all Agilent/HP equipment uses rotary encoders like this. One of their function generators was brought to me with a clear rotary encoder fault. I opened it up expecting to find a rotary encoder like this. But instead found they had implemented it using circular tracks on the PCB and the knob turned a metal wiper which shorted out the tracks as it turned. After a couple of years of use the tracks start to develop grooves and wear out. There isn't much you can do without replacing the entire front panel which wasn't economic to do. I think within 5 years we binned 15+ of those units.
Old HP/Agilent equipment was beautifully made but in the few years before the sale to Keysight quality took a real dive.

> But these numbers feel to me like India urgently needs to do more work to reduce pollution.

I think we can easily reduce this number if we produce enough power and build enough hospitals and teach enough doctors. There are multiple ways to solve every problem. Reducing pollution is one of them, in this case.
Could even be less than that.

5 years ago my big old Plasma TV stopped displaying a picture. Took the back off, reseated all the connectors, stared at the multitude of SMD boards, put the back on, and it's been fine ever since!

The daily driver, a 50" plasma, just celebrated its 12th birthday a few weeks ago :-)
They can get dust or lint in them, making skips (if the dust blocks parts of the rotor) or erratic misbehaviour. But unless you fix that in some destructive way there is no real wear.

I recently had a stressful job last year in an environment where I had no control: COVID plus military deployment. My blood pressure dropped 40 points once I left that job. Here are things that helped me and my staff:

* See a mental health professional

* Exercise

* Eat healthy (I was failing here and stress eating thereby making things worse)

* Social reinforcement. Have friends offline to talk things through

* Spend time on things of interest and be productive
Utopic means something that is currently not real. If crypto is outlawed it will still exist, its just that the infrastructure would probably change.

Don't bet your life on minutes.

As a 10 year old kid, I had an old (tube) TV that had been standing on a table for months. I wanted to unsolder some component out of it, and thought it should be safe by now. But as an extra safety measure, I decided to short the big capacitors with my metal screwdriver. Most were as dead as can be. One however, decided to surprise me with a big arc/flash that scared me stiff.
Not GP, but presumably the point is that must be using USB, so the only point is convenience of form factor/you already have the card/whatever - it can't be faster (if anything the converter's going to slow it down) than using a USB storage device.
V4L2’s h264 stateful video decoder is enabled in official OS images, and works great in practice on Pi4: https://github.com/Const-me/Vrmac/tree/master/VrmacVideo VLC player shipped in these OS images uses that one as well.

If it doesn’t work for you in Twitch, the likely issue is the web browser. Try to upgrade it to latest version, and/or configure it somehow.

> Capitalism is entirely a concept within Marxism and doesn’t exist outside that particular philosophy.

The conversion of the means of production from appurtenances to land that was usually held as entailments to independent marketably property held in fee simple (along with land itself being converted from entailments to fee simple ownership) driven by pressure from and to the benefit of the burgeoning mercantile class is, like, a real thing that happened. The idea that capitalism exists only as a concept within Marxism is novel, but not even popular among anti-Marxists.

> Maybe that’s why Marxists have reached total penetration and are having difficulty converting new useful idiots.

Marxism was a reaction to the particular situation in the dominant economies of the West in the late 19th Century, and played a powerful role in shaping the reform of those economies that occurred in the early-mid-20th Century and essentially completely replaced the system that Marxism reacted to. While the dominant system of the developed world is still sometimes called “capitalism” (though others distinguish it as “welfare statism”, “the modern mixed economy” and shares some key characteristics of the earlier system, it is also radically different.

Marxism is part of the background of a lot of modern movements most of whose members wouldn’t describe themselves as Marxist because they are working from a different point and responding to different problems.

> Most people wised up to the re-definition of language and the predominance of neologisms and tuned it all out.

Yeah, I don’t think “re-definition of language and […] neologisms” have ever been a particular problem for Marxists; all systems which give importance to distinctions that have not otherwise been considered import either create new language or use existing language in special ways, and many of them are quite successful.
Most previous doomsday cults had the handicap of having little to do with reality, whereas climate change is real and the predictions are getting scarier as we learn more about the climate system.
But AMD compete with intel, and consumers might look at nm size when comparing mainstream processors to buy, because at one point it was a good indication of how recent the processor was, and thus how fast / power efficient / ...

Not that I'm not talking about educated consumers, which will look at other variables, but rather the consumers who will buy a computer and want the cutting edge, without knowing too much details.
I absolutely agree with your first paragraph, but regarding the second the low bandwidth on text compared to audio sometimes means a lot of information is left out.

A lot of times when discussing something here (or anywhere in text) I see something I'm fairly convinced is wrong, but it's apparent that it's misunderstood many steps back, and I just don't bother if I'm not up for writing a wall of text of premise before getting to how that leads to my point.

(And I'm sure vice versa is true equally often)

Audio really helps here, but it's less searchable and accessible post facto, and it requires simultaneous presence.
> Those questions reveal a lot about the candidates intention too,

But in a different way. I want to be rejected by a company that doesn't acknowledge overhours f.x.

Seems like you're the type of applicnt who is so obsessed with being liked that you will bend over backwards for getting an offer by a company you actually do not want to work at and then you regret it a few months later and ask on HN what you have to ask next time to avoid that situation ...
Thanks for the recommendation, that does sound good and I'll give it a go.
don't use AWS lambdas, problem solved.
It should be under 10ms - it's just calling a function that takes a string and outputs JS code.
You're saying that as if there are no alternatives to coal. India could build solar panels or nuclear power instead.
Three most important things for reducing stress:
1. Sleep
2. Diet
3. Resilience

You can improve them with the below:

* Start monitoring your heart rate variability (HRV). You can use HRV to help you understand the triggers for your stress. There’s loads of articles on the web about it. I monitor HRV through the night with Oura ring. Low usually means you are stressed or not recovered.

* Try to go to bed at the same time and wake up at the same time every day. This is incredibly important and really works.

* If you struggle sleeping, use blue light blocking glasses and try to not use screens which emit blue light after sundown. Also try to get exposure to morning light everyday.

* Don’t eat at least 3 hours before bed!!

* Have your last alcoholic drink 3-4 hours before bed. Don’t drink a lot or cut it out entirely.

* Ensure you remain hydrated throughout the day

* If you can, take cold showers

* Try to meditate for 10-15 mins a day

* Make sure you start relaxing a few hours before bed

* Very important: Try to only eat whole foods. No sugar. No refined carbs. Lots of vegetables. Food has a massive impact on stress levels.

* Eating food you are intolerant to will increase your stress levels. Keep a rough diary of what you eat. If something makes you feel a bit off then make a note and try to narrow down what good it was. Once you know what it is... stop eating that food. You can gradually reintroduce with experiments.

* Exercise is good for stress reduction and resilience. Go running or cycling but.... This is very important: you NEED to monitor your heart rate. If you are not fit or new to exercise then you don’t want to go over 140 bpm. Eg I’ve been running since I was 10 and 80% of my runs are done at 145bpm. I rarely go over 170 bpm because it stresses the body a lot. If you are out of breath then you need to stop or walk. If you keep doing this you will get faster as the same HR (if you care!).

* Don’t read or watch the news.

* Go and sit in a park. Green spaces like parks help to reduce stress.
Good luck dude!

Start with the 2nd edition of "Tour of C++" from Bjarne Stroustrup, then "Programming: Principles and Practice Using C++" and finally 4th edition of "The C++ Programming Language".

There are others for C++, but this would be a good start.

As for C, "Extreme C" has nice up to day content.

And in both cases, "Secure Coding in C and C++",

This format (written) is also super convenient to return to HN and search for something. As long as there is not transcription (at least for searching purposes), audio is semi-useless (at least for the use that I may have).

I have used the 'Search' in HN multiple times to educate myself on topics, reading the article in 3-4mins and then spending 20mins on comment section to expand and enhance my knowledge and/or critical thinking.

HN can be a useful library.
That's not what it's saying ( i speak dutch)

First of all, it's not a spinoff. KPN his the report because it was afraid for it's existence.

Second is that Huawei could listen to KPN'S internal communications ( = their network) that includes a lot of government calls.

Right, but do any examples of this exist, ever?

Your link is clearly not an example. Any aware driver would've done the same.

I'm sceptical there can ever be a scenario were tesla autopilot can outdo an aware, conscious driver.

The Afghans will take care of it.

Did you know the mujahideen sometimes skinned captured Soviet soldiers back then?

They called it 'taking off the shirt', if I remember correctly.

Of course, the Sovs were more civilized.

When they got fed up, they would simply have a village bombed or round up all the men and mow them down with machine guns.

No the Chinese won't go there big style.

Allthough it could be fun, like in the old days.

Funny people.
Sometimes one wonders if conquering Afghanistan is a rite of passage for the conquerer or the conquered.

But no.
It's a trap.
And the West would promote the matter.

They will just buy the mining rights, send in the mining companies with some paramilitary 'security personell' and ask the Taliban and Pakistan politely to have a look on rabble rebels or else...

Like the French in Mali.
They may even bribe the UN for a mandat to secure their investment, but no nation building.
A blockchain is, fundamentally, a consensus mechanism which decides which transactions are valid.

Proof of Stake is self-referential; the parties with value at stake have value because the blockchain says they do. It's a perpetual motion machine. When the shit hits the fan (say, a controversial fork) the people who thought they had control ("stake") will learn who really makes the decisions WRT which blockchain is canonical. That would be the exchanges, and what they agree on will rule no matter who stakes what.

The reason Proof of Work works is because someone has to pony up the compute power.

The emperor has no clothes. Sorry.
You ignore the facts of this specific case. Anecdata indeed.

> Department of Public Safety Commissioner John Harrington says throughout the night, and particularly from 8 p.m. onward, officers came under threat from a variety of new individuals who began to approach and contest the area around the police department with items like baseball bats, plywood, shields and "liquid products."

> There were reports of some protesters shaking the perimeter fencing, while lobbing objects over the fence at officers on the other side.

> Harrington outlined how attempts to breach the outermost ring of fencing by more belligerent protesters was handled with some amount of restraint, with officers repairing the breach and backing off rather than immediately proceeding to clear the area around the station.
Curiosity rather than nit-pick: calligraphically or cursively? Or itallically? :)

I've deliberately modified my handwriting a few times in my life, like many people. In my teens it was an expression of character. Later in life, I did a master's degree that required many written exams over several years, and I found i was getting hand pain and cramping from writing so much for so long, over 2 hours for example. After some Googling, I turned to itallic writing (I'm right handed), where all strokes are of the form //////. It made a huge difference and I stuck with it.

I am a fan of localstack. I know it isn’t perfect and I hear a lot of the complaints that others have posted. However, it covered everything I’ve had to use so far, mostly lambda, rds, sqs, sns, iam. Sure, won’t work for everyone, and there might be easier ways for me to test, but it fits my needs and has saved me so much time and money.
Hackers could always claim they were security testing :)

If that would have been the case, it would have been the first thing they'd mention though.
Yes, these are concerns, but anything like this will not ultimately be left to consumers to deal with. As part of the process of crypto becoming widely-adopted, this class of problems is in the process of being solved in ways that are transparent to the user, and that will continue. The fact we are still speaking in terms of the base layer at all in terms of many projects, reveals the stage of development we are at.

It's a bit like worrying about how internet users will deal with IP packets that don't arrive, in the context of thinking about about how smooth an experience they're going to have surfing the web. It's not, and won't be, their problem to deal with.

The fact adoption has rushed ahead such that many multi-millions of users are faced with the base layer is analogous to if millions had rushed into using the internet when it was command-line only. Sure, if that had happened, many people would make mistakes and delete their drives or whatever - and this illustrates how wanted and overdue crypto is.

There are tremendous consequences of using this tech at the base layer incorrectly, but it doesn't appear to be dissuading adoption.

Getting your live stack to call your Dev machine seems a sure fire way to slip up and accidentally send customers a test email. Or accidentally order $100,000,000 widgets.

In fact, I would say it sounds great, but in fact it's incredibly risky and monumentally stupid.
FB has thousands of engineers. It's not that often that a small group of people can both keep the lights running financially and also develop fully featured massive libraries. I'd say that counts as a very productive company.
