>For example, just measuring the impact of GC overhead is bound to be tricky, because a trashy program (one that allocates a lot of garbage) is going to make GC look bad in comparison to a program that is careful to reuse data structures.

This is completely irrelevant because stop the world pauses are global and affect your entire application no matter how careful you write your code. Every library you use has to be carefully written, every single line of code you write has to be carefully written regardless of whether it is time critical or not, this is a complete dead weight for the entire application.

With isolated GC heaps your time critical code will be isolated from non critical code. In practice the easiest way to do this is to just launch a separate application. This hurts a lot with the JVM because it wants to own your entire server (mostly RAM) for some inexplicable reason and you might as well write that part in C++ if you do inter process communication anyway.
Yes ofc. I was making a theoretical argument. Assumptions about the data or hardware matter in practice, but they are not relevant for the theoretical exploration.
I agree. Honestly electron used the main thing pushing up ram usage these days for most people.

I read that as "Why Lichees will always be free". That would have been fun :-)
What you are both arguing doesn't match up with the facts. It was proved beyond reasonable doubt multiple times. The "proof", (which we now know was flawed) was that the system had shown that what they had sold didn't tally with what was sent to the Post Office, to refute that proof, the defence have to show another plausible explanation.

Yes, if they could have proved they also received what was stolen, that would have been a slam dunk but there are enough plausible reasons why they can't find the money. Maybe it was given to friends and family as cash, maybe it was used to gamble or to pay off some criminal.

It isn't much different than somebody saying, "you did it because we found your DNA". The Courts or Jury are inclined to believe it because "science" and if the defence are not on their game enough to show how "because DNA" is not always watertight, the defendent is seen as guilty beyond reasonbale doubt.
Trust me, it does not have 40 years of architectural advantage, just an advantage. It's not going to take Intel "40 years to catch up" give me break. I have an M1 mini anad it's a great little desktop machine for browsing and light development but it's not 40 years ahead of intel.

Empowering Everyone to Write Reliable and Safe C++ Using Static Analysis
You're using the transition that everyone wanted to point a rosy picture. Everyone wanted Intel chips and Wintel compatibility. PPC was too slow, too hot.

Fact is, until they can get nVidia GTX compatibility or quality, there will be a significant market of 3D and gaming that does not want to switch.

And I say this as someone who very much likes my new M1 Macbook and wants to convince the rest of the family and friends to never again buy an x86-based laptop computer.

If Apple can add 3D and gaming chips equivalent to the GTX 3000 series with software support, all within 2 years? Amazing and that speeds up their switchover -- but Adobe, for one, has still not yet updated Adobe After Effects and likely won't for at least a year, even though they announced they would. I'll remind folks that Adobe said they would consider adding Metal support to After Effects almost five years ago and still hasn't. Other apps are in a similar state.

I don't doubt that Apple would like the transition to be quick as well as seamless, and I think most portable products will transition very quickly. But unless Apple wants to leave the Pro market they just entered by making things too unstable for Pros, they will tread carefully on eliminating sales and support for Intel. Especially because even now they are selling 16" MacBook Pros that run Intel, and Intel Mac Pros, and 27" iMacs (formerly Pros) and all three of these platforms should ideally be supported for five years, minimum, ideally six given we could count the last year as the "seventh" year of support.

The median urban San Francisco resident has a significantly higher income than the median Baltimore, MD resident, so if the socioeconomic link to suicide/attempt rate is strong, I could see this being a factor that would significantly confound the urban/suburban/rural split.
> Legos are just wonderful.

One of the most fascinating things about HN is how people will come out in droves to bash the environmental impact of mining cryptocurrency, but legos are just wonderful - nevermind the plastic waste.

There must be a name for this phenomenon.

Obviously this post will get downvoted with no real rebuttal - more idiosyncracies of the quality platform that is HN.
As a general comment - human biological impulses do generally line up with rational objectives. That is why we have them. Normally they line up with ideas that are so good it makes sense to embed them in how we live.

> People wouldn't need to be subjected to ads if it was desirable

Substantial value from ads is they communicate (1) what people didn't yet know existed and (2) what everyone else knows (because they saw the ad too).

Ads work by and large because people want the products that the ads are selling. A lot of ads are stupid and I'd personally rather not see them - but if I think that, they also probably aren't targeted at me.
More important? I don't know. But there are people who think there are theories about race being somewhat causal. One is the "nobody left to blame" theory which basically says people in the dominant culture who aren't happy don't have an easy group to blame. The theory goes, they recognize they should have the elements of happiness since they aren't being oppressed, which can lead to more hopelessness if they are depressed.

"And Veralyn Williams reports on places where there’s a paucity of suicides: African-American communities. As it happens, blacks are only about half as likely to kill themselves as whites. (When it comes to murder, meanwhile, blacks are nearly six times more likely than whites to die.) There are just three places in the U.S. where the overall homicide rate is higher than the suicide rate: Louisiana, Maryland and the District of Columbia. It’s not a coincidence that these are also places with large African-American populations. Donna Barnes, who founded the National Organization for People of Color Against Suicide, tries to explain why there’s such a huge black-white suicide gap:

BARNES: Okay, it’s very easy when you are stressed and you don’t want to live anymore and put yourself in harm’s way and somebody will take you out. We get angry. We get irritable. We do things, we engage in reckless behavior more so than say, the dominant culture. And those are signs of depression. And many times we will externalize our frustration meaning that we’re going to take it out on other people. And then you might have more folks maybe from the dominant culture who internalize their frustration and take it out on themselves. We have been socialized to believe that a lot of our disadvantages are based on our surroundings — racism, discrimination and all of that. So it’s really easy, for us, when we become frustrated and we look at what’s going on around us, to take it out on the environment and other people rather than ourselves."

I had one of those suitcase typewriter deals. I got rid of it in a move some years past. Partly because getting ribbon for it was next to impossible at the time and I had neither the time nor inclination to reink ribbon.
Waste?? I still have my legos from my childhood. No plastic wasted here!
I see older developers do it too.

And which sites do you find this information on. Is it in the documentation? Wouldn’t it be quicker to just know what docs will tell you that info each time instead of searching for “Java function signature” or “JS pass-by-value” and going to the same place. You’re welcome to continuously search for stuff if that workflow is useful to you, but it’s not very efficient.
Google/DDG is usually the fastest way to find the docs. Documentation sites are usually terrible for discovery.
I noticed your second point. Massive type ahead, whether at the shell prompt, or within an app. I could not touch type at that delay, like trying to talk over a call with a pronounced delayed echo.
You have misunderstood the word connected. The parent commenter meant that we are intertwined with nature, not that we are responsible caretakers.
IMO go big or go home in this case. For a gaming machine I'd aim for some of the Ryzen 5000's (likely even the 5700 is an overkill) and an RTX 3090 so I can play 3440x1440 @ 144FPS (or maybe even 4K @ 120FPS).

As it is, I almost have no reason to upgrade my gaming machine right now. Playing on a 21:9 wide display (2560x1080) and never go below 70-80 FPS in any game. Usually it's 100-120 FPS.
Flip side. How much time would that migration take. As a startup focusing that time on product would lead to more VC investment or more sales sooner. With the seed/series funding and sales being many multiples of the cost savings.
YouTube CEO receives Free Expression award,raises lots of mixed reactions
They would use their scale and engineering muscle to differentiate. Free outgoing bandwidth to iCloud users. The most eco friendly cloud. “Lambda at edge” which can compute on charging iOS devices nearby, those users earn a little Apple Cash. “Launch in iCloud” thin client support for resource intensive applications, using a proprietary low latency VNC alternative (like Parsec). I want to see them get creative.
If it weren’t for the fact that it’s not good at being a laptop (chunky, heavy, hot), I’d be perfectly happy using my old QX9300 (Core 2 Quad) workstation laptop for day to day. With an SSD and the Bluetooth+Wifi upgraded to Intel AX200 it’s only marginally slower than my newer x86 boxes at most things, and its 15.4” 1920x1200 display is still nicer than what ships on a lot of laptops today. Wouldn’t want to use it as a dev machine, but any less demanding usage would be fine.
This is pretty important. Could easily be a spurious result. If we have 100 cities to cherry pick from, then studies will get published and headlines published about the strange outliers
> I would guess the M1 was designed rapidly

How rapidly? And so how come it has such spectacular performance? Or the shortcomings of the x86 arch were so, so soooo obvious, but nobody had the resources to reaaallly give a go to a modern arch?

Or maybe, simply the requirements were a lot more exact/concrete and clear? (But the M1 performs well in general, no?)
This is intellectually interesting (in the sense that the GOP is grandstanding by trying to illegalize something that is already illegal), but it's also a political culture war that I don't think we should wage on this site.
I am on my phone so don't have the evidence with me right now, but from what I've read, most suicide decisions are relatively spur of the moment, come during a deep depressive moment, and are not necessarily characteristic of the person's broader life or emotional outlook.

There is certainly a question, I merely find myself falling pretty heavily on one side of that question, and I think that is generally the side that people would fall on if it were put up to a vote. Dying from suicide worse than surviving suicide.

Good timing. I'm working on something similar myself. I can't take the fan noise any longer. LOL.
>But why is your experience tied to one brain and not another.

Because of the evolution. Life evolved from single-celled organism to multicellular organism building on top of individuals. Individuals which lived and cooperated in one community and one habitat evolved individually while living and reproducing together as one specie spreading genes to their offspring. There is no shared brain or shared consciousness in living beings, brain and consciousness are individual properties.

Something that is somewhat close to shared brain or shared consciousness is collective intelligence.
I was looking at North America as a whole, and noticed a very bright spot in Prudhoe Bay in Alaska. It's almost one of the biggest spots. Wikipedia tells me it has a population of basically 2000 people. Why is it so light?
Why we can't make this unfree, or why it would never be in our interest to make this unfree, are a lot more convincing than why we promise this will always be free.
I didn't realize you had tracked the people registering on the service and successfully tied them to malicious acts. Is their nationality really important at that point?

Or are you just in favor of collective punishment against North Koreans, individual actions are irrelevant?

Hirono effectively said they're fine with this form of discrimination. Its not an endearing statement or point.

But I like your last line, indeed, all discrimination matters.
You can still download purchases from the PS3 store; in fact you can still buy things from it (but only because of an outcry when Sony announced they were closing it). I'm pretty sure you can still download past purchases from the Wii store too.

Of course, those kinds of "we're keeping the servers up after the store is closed" situations are necessarily limited so it's just a matter of time. As you say, once the calculus of remaining users and the reputational damage of shutting down gets small enough then it'll happen.

On the other hand, Playstation has a worse set of problems going on: systems apparently need to phone home if their CMOS battery dies or is replaced, and if those servers aren't around anymore or you have no internet, even physical copies don't play. (As far as I know this is just about resetting the clock but it's still a network dependency.)

If you vote on a touch screen and it prints out a paper ballot, that's fine as long as that's a legible ballot, like not just a QR code or something. The voter should have confidence in the output.

Likewise, if you use a pen or pencil to fill out a ballot that then is counted electronically, that too is fine.

In both cases there's a paper ballot as a source of truth and that's what's key.

It's a game changer if you can wholly devote yourself to the ecosystem. I can tell you that even third party applications with M1 support (ie. Google Chrome) can be a mixed bag and still run kinda clunky.

Also you said music production so verify before hand that your DAW, etc of choice will work fine. I use Reason and the visuals in the DAW itself are still laggy, but it isn't M1 native yet.

Other things like the fact that World of Warcraft runs at medium settings on a 1440P monitor feel kinda magical given I can barely feel any heat leaving the M1 Mini.

In the end I returned my M1 Mini (8gb/256gb) because my personal experience still felt half baked at this time. Once we hit the next generation a lot more software will have caught up.
Even ignoring leaders, once you get beyond 100-200 people responsibility is necessarily divided up such that people stop being responsible for the organization and start being responsible to the organization. And then the organization does sociopathic things things whether people want to or not. Even an organization's leaders are subject to this. After all 100s of people's paychecks depend on their decisions. The more people you add, the more you divide up responsibility, the more you remove the leaders from the customers, the worse it gets.
I'd get 16gb. The memory options are disappointing. I am waiting for 32gb to switch my daily driver, and also giving the ecosystem a bit of time to catch up. I have an M1 Mini but that was for us to test our software on and make sure our Mac ARM builds were correct.

Apple's memory and storage options tend to always be on the disappointing side.

You know when you say stuff like "revelation" it really doesn't help your argument that you're not just fanboying out for apple?
Yes, we actually have come up with some algorithms for flagging cheaters, and then a small team of experts reviews the games in question. The algorithms are the only part of the site that is closed source at the moment; if we move over to machine learning we may open them (I think of something like Irwin).

The algorithms have been successful at catching a nontrivial number of cheaters already, most of whom have admitted it and gotten their account back after a suspension.

It is a super cool problem - I think we can catch more with machine learning (the funny thing is, my day job is in fraud detection using machine learning, so there is some overlap :)

I could see a lot of people being unhappy because they're forced to live in a nursing home. But, when I think about the ways someone would commit suicide, and how many of them are available to a nursing home resident, it just doesn't sound like there's a lot of opportunity. I wonder if there's any good research on the topic.
We have heard this a few times, and the backend supports it, but we need to make a few changes in the front end to make it happen. I think we'd like to do this in the future.
It's not a helpful comparison if you compare a chip from 2016 with a chip from 2020.

Top-end Ryzen chips may be as fast or faster. Are they also as low power?

The impressive thing about the M1 isn't just raw performance but performance / watt. There are obviously faster high-end many-core x86 chips, but the power use difference is wider than the speed difference. The M1 destroys mid-range Intel and AMD offerings at a fraction of the power consumption.

Check out this madness:

https://browser.geekbench.com/mac-benchmarks

The MacBook Air trounces the top-end Mac Pro on single core performance. No this is not the top-end Intel you can get, nor is it as fast as AMD, but it's a MacBook Air and consumes a small fraction of the power.

Again... the power efficiency is the thing that really blows me away. 5nm accounts for only some of that.

On multi-core the same MacBook Air is just below recent Mac Pro models on total computational throughput. To beat the MacBook Air you have to go up to newer-generation Xeon chips with 8 full-speed cores. The Xeon is branded as a server chip and uses as much power as probably eight to ten M1s.

It's just insane. If Apple puts, say, 16 full-speed core in one of these chips it's absolutely over for all other vendors. Speculation is that the 16" Pro will end up getting 8 performance cores and 4 low-power cores. I wouldn't be surprised if it ends up beating the top-end Intel Mac Pro.
It _is_ very risky, but the source selection statement lays out in great detail how both other bids were much worse.
SpaceX needs to solve this to go to Mars, NASA is simply paying them to learn (similar to how full fare launches allowed them to learn to reuse the first stage and keep it for themselves).
Well, there are two problems and which is the fundamental one depends on your prior assumptions.

Some would say it's impossible to build a secure electronic voting system, even if your supplier and their employees were completely trustworthy because between physical tampering, state-level adversaries, the state of the art in software development and the impossibility of proving a negative, such security has never been seen before.

In other words, that it's an unsolvable technical problem.

Others would say it's impossible to build a secure electronic voting system even if we were capable of creating flawless bug-free and tamper-proof software and hardware because the supplier will always be able to introduce undetectable bugs if they want to, and no supplier can ever be perfectly trustworthy.

In other words, that it's an unsolvable social problem.
