> Because it's your first adventure in the land of crypto and you have no idea how to do things

is rather presumptuous. I do actually know how to do crypto things (I review and test such things for a living) and after reading their comment and skimming the post I'm left wondering the exact same thing.
Funny how this is overlooked while slack stands for "Searchable log of all conversation and knowledge"
Yep, as the other commenter said, languages scale differently because of the entire suite of different and interacting features. I know it's cliche to say, but I still believe it's true, that Go suffers from lacking generics, particularly as a project grows. I see big projects with lots of `interface{}` usage to work around this, and at that point the type system is essentially equivalent to Python's, which in my view is harder to maintain at scale. This seems a lot more common in big Go projects than use of Object in big Java projects, for instance, and I think it's a smell. I also think nil-based error handling is harder to maintain than languages with no nulls, or strongly discouraged nulls (but most languages have this problem). I don't have a good sense for how well the concurrency functionality in Go scales, but I get the sense that it's pretty good, and superior to most other languages, including the other ones in this thread.
I was waiting for this article for so long. Yes, it is incredible, how many people do not know how to use properly Google, they are asking questions on forums, while a simple search would give them the response
It's the Gigabyte Myth! Less is more! Up is down! In is out!
Because English contract law has a reputation for reliability, thanks to the common law doctrine of stare decisis, which binds courts to decide the same way as previous cases with the same facts were decided (modulo appeals courts). French law, by contrast, gives much more freedom to judges to decide each case individually, which sounds nice in theory, but in practice just creates legal uncertainty for everyone involved.

As to why English law, and not, say, New York or New South Wales law, well: England is only 21 miles from France.
Revamin Lash
Revamin Lash is a modern eyelash serum dedicated to people who want to improve the condition of their eyelashes. The product was created based on safe, tested and natural ingredients. The formula lengthens and thickens lashes, stimulates their growth and prevents them from falling out. Revamin Lash deeply nourishes lashes and eyelid skin, creating optimum conditions for eyelash growth.

Regular use of Revamin Lash serum allows the effect of long and thick eyelashes to be achieved. The product is safe for the eyes and does not irritate the eyelid skin, which makes it a popular choice. The first effects are visible after just 3 weeks of use.
When people started using “google” as a verb, there was the same reaction. You probably feel more comfortable with “google” just because you’ve been using it longer (and depending on your age, you may not remember a time before google).
I actually lean on my network of recruiters a few I call friends. They see all the churn and hear the unfiltered stories. While they’re not on the inside, I feel like they have the best view of what the inside is like. I don’t know if this works for software. But in corporate finance it’s a pretty good way. Recruiting is largely outsourced (so recruiters know everything). Also, it’s extremely possible that the company as a whole has a great culture but the finance team is a shit show. And really, that’s my top concern.
A shocking injustice. Innocent people went to prison for years. There was clearly a cover up at Fujitsu and the Post Office, and those accountable should now be prosecuted.
crypto is male dominated as well so if wallstreet is war and crypto is peace - I'm not sure where you're pulling gender out as the interesting difference there.
That would be the post I have been searching for the last 2 years of my life. I have to budget my time very strictly, and finding out how to learn about security is obscure at best.
You may be right because I haven't had my ear to the ground recently, but I thought this like a decade ago (at least 8 years ago, I know I did), so I guess I'm slightly skeptical.
That is what I was going to say. Is there any particular reason why they are trying to harvest wave energy? Is it more abundant or more reliable?
Good sequence for a movie, but most likely we will pack a bunch of starships fill of supplies and land them, leaving two available for emergency return, the other N will shuttle more supplies to Mars. We can test the landing and relaunch as many times as necessary using automated systems. By the time humans land they can checkin at the front desk.

I think a base on one of the Mars moons would be nice. You can build a radiation shield and have a nice place to store your stuff. Maybe some fuel could be extracted from the regolith.
No, that's not it.

You Google bubble is the most important asset.

I was routinely ask to search the same thing as a colleague. And I regularly got better answers since I trained my bubble on technical queries. While the other person had more interests and Google returned varied results.

So, if you get a hobby in landscaping, don't ruin your search bubble by polluting it with that.
MARINER.. certainly not a sailor. Sailors use sails, its a dumb naming convention to call power boaters that.
The question is, how do you detect defective cores?

"As technologists, how can we work to rebuild regional and local political and economic sovereignty?"

I always thought it fascinating how "technologists" thought themselves somehow able to solve social issues. SV is a glaring example of this - Mark Zuckerberg anyone?

Anecdotally, I know many people in the MMO game industry. Wonderful people, but none have more than average EQ. Most are extremely awkward and/or have social anxiety (which, in part, is what drove them to become gamers in the first place). It is really interesting to watch them struggle with trying to figure out what "social" features to add, but cannot grok what actually makes something social. Trying and failing over and over -- sometimes on the most obvious things.

Why would you think you could solve social problems when you, yourself, aren't a social animal?
I didn’t say the comparison was necessarily valid or invalid. I said that evidence for and against you things can exist and should be brought when claims are made.

The only comparison I am making is that virtually identical claims are made about stadium deals and the evidence suggest the opposite of those claims is true.

I would just like these claims to be evaluated and assessed using evidence not accept it is true because they fit within the narrative that is presented every single time a company wants a tax break
> In the latest chapter of one of the biggest miscarriages of justice in English legal history, 39 people who were prosecuted

Meanwhile in the Netherlands, ~26000 people have been branded as fraudsters by the tax office due to a way too strict child benefits law. More than 100 probably entirely innocent people fled the country. Even the compensation that is now promised is only slowly trickling towards them, and likely to be snatched up by debt collectors - including even the tax office itself, which is still partly unrepentant. Okay, they haven't been sent to jail directly, but the scale of this is huge.
The GitHub Code Search feature is really useful. If I run into a weird problem that's somewhat outside "mainstream" programming (e.g. 2D Line Arrangements with CGAL), I'll often use Code Search to try to find repos that are using the API I'm using to see how they used it.
Not to diminish the argument about file extensions having a too-small namespace, but... why not just save your SNES music in wav or flac files or something? Wouldn't that be a simpler solution to manage in many ways (not just because of file extensions)?
But you can appear to know less than you actually do through a lack of confidence.
Bitcoin's market cap is currently around $1T. Killing someone with $1B in bitcoins would only increase the value of the remaining coins by 0.1%. That seems horribly risky for a very small gain.

It’s insane they stopped pulling the thread and the defence didn’t push that, even if you spent it there would be evidence. I would have been highly skeptical that all of it just disappeared Into thin air across the entire group....nuts

You should check out the book "Radicalized" by Cory Doctorow! It's four short stories. The first one - "Unauthorized Bread" was published online: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2020/01/unauthorized-bread-a-...
It's not about positive incentives, it's about the lack of negative incentives. More true negative incentives need to be shifted onto the production side, back onto the corporations, its officers, its middle management, and if required down to the individual contributor.

Corporate structure helps diffuse and deflect responsibility. Each group (executive leadership, middle management, and ICs) gets to diffuse and deflect responsibility and liability onto each other.

We already have all the positive incentives in the world - cash money. It's not enough.
> Can anyone even cite a single banking exit scam in the United States

I'm from east EU so I can't comment on US, but we've had at least two major banks go under (that I can remember) due to some shady manipulations. A lot of people lost a lot of money.

> in recent history

Part of my point is that the regulations aren't here yet. We've had hundreds of years of experience with dealing with banks. They're so highly regulated precisely because there's been plenty of fraud.

> regulated, insured banks are in any way equivalent to unregulated, international crypto exchanges

Exactly! They aren't even near equivalent without the regulation. But I don't see why they couldn't come close with proper regulation.
People could just duck for 'google' to find out about it.
After frontend/backend engineers, we see the rise of the full stack..overflow developer.
Isn’t the M1 a bit big to put in a phone? Presumably, both Mx and Ax SoCs are already very similar so the distinction could be mostly marketing. But they’ll probably want to have different names for the lower-power, fewer-cores phone SoC and the things they put in their Macs. If only to avoid the perception that Macs run on “low-performance” phone parts.
"Searching"?
But there is no technical reason for it being locked down. I don't want to subject myself to more of this, which would be the result if I get dependent on it. Why would I? There are only disadvantages if I don't want to sell software for the ecosystem.

I do some low level system developing and I doubt I would ever switch to MacOS for this. Higher level software? Maybe, but as I said, why give Apple any handle here and these sandboxes don't provide security for me. I will also not get a dev cert from anyone, that is just something that will never happen.
ARMv8 is new though. That's where the path to M1 started.

Its nice of Apple to put this so succinctly:

'Apple contends that '[n]o reasonable consumer would believe' that purchased content would remain on the iTunes platform indefinitely'

The world has definitely shifted from buying individual movies, songs/albums, video games and owning them in a more direct sense of having an actual physical object i.e. a disc. There are definitely still some limitations to this, its still a limited license, but compared to purchasing DRM-filled digital access, we've definitely gone even further into more restrictive access.

That is why I think that supporting DRM-free stores (e.g. GOG, Bandcamp) is important as well as buying physical media still (I still personally buy music CDs and Vinyl from time-to-time, however try to buy a game physically and all you will get is a plastic disc with a Steam code on it), and sometimes there is no way legitimate way to purchase some media, with piracy being essentially the only option.

Unfortunately Steam has become quite ubiqitous and like most have fallen into the licensing game rabbithole (One the games I bought many years ago required installing Steam to 'function'), but with video games there's not much else to pick from, apart from whatever GOG has or some other companies crappier version of Steam (e.g. Origin, Epic Games Store). I'd like this to change but I don't think it will anytime soon.

I would be fine purchasing digital copies of content knowing the limited-time aspect, given the pricing would be (significantly) cheaper. But it isn't, and that's a problem.

Why does this have to float on the water? Wouldn’t it help avoid some of the more extreme dynamic forces by anchoring it just under the water level?
Most users just do not care about "owning" DRM-free files. Most users don't have any clue about how to store, manage, or safeguard their DRM-free digital purchases.
Add Manning, No Starch Press, InformIT (Pearson) to that list.

They somehow watermark your books though, but they don't contain any DRM.

O'Reilly was very good. Now they only rent their books via Safari. I feel betrayed.
Wikipedia would seem to be general audience / big idea / short-term but survives on patronage.
It's also noteworthy that these injustices originated from private prosecutions brought by the Post Office. That is a relatively unusual legal action in this country, where almost all criminal prosecutions are brought by the state. Given the damage that a wrongful criminal prosecution can cause, including imprisonment and having a criminal record, the compensation awarded could be considerable and there is already talk of the Post Office needing extra government funding to cover the cost.

Another small point of interest that doesn't seem to be making the mainstream reporting yet is that under our legal system the state prosecutor (the Crown Prosecution Service) has the power to take over and, if appropriate, shut down any private prosecution. When the inevitable inquiries publish their conclusions, the fact that so many bad prosecutions were successfully brought over such a long period might reflect poorly not only on the Post Office and on the courts and lawyers involved in the convictions but also on the CPS for not intervening. This could become politically significant, because the current Leader of the Opposition was in charge of the CPS around 2009-2013, the last five years when most such prosecutions were being brought. That could leave him in an awkward position if he's attacked over his record during the next general election campaign, given that his party is exactly the one that's supposed to stand up for working class "little guys" like the victims in these cases.
I think in the general case, random strings, long patterns do not improve average performance.

Or rather nothing will change, once the pattern length exceeded the expected value for the alphabet used. E.g. for a simplified DNA alphabet, extended BC shifts on average 4 characters. On the fly I can't do the stochastics on GS, but I assume substring match length and chance of reoccurrence run against each other in a similar manner.

On the other hand long patterns increase preprocessing/access time: Extended BC and GS have O(m) for preprocessing, and BC may have non-constant access, depending on space tradeoff.
That's not how downclocking chips work. Reducing the wattage reduces performance by much less.

In multicore workloads Zen 3 slaps the M1 even per watt.

It has historical reasons. Back when Napoleon conquered Europe, the HRE redistributed some land from the Church to the secular rulers and in return promised to fund them via taxes and compensate them for the land. The church tax has since become more of a membership fee (you can just leave the Church and stop paying it), but the state still collects it for the Churches.
DataOps Is More Than ‘DevOps for Data’
I can't find the interview now, but I distinctly remember someone at Apple saying that Cocoa apps benefit from hardware-level optimizations of common Objective C operations in the M1.
sure, but google had the ability to be commoditized - people "google" even when they're just 'searching' (and the browser is set to default to DDG, for example). "googling=searching" for a sizable portion of the population, much like "kleenex=tissue" or "Xerox=copy" (back in the day).

You could just say 'Xerox these reports' and people knew what you meant, even if your office had a Ricoh copier.
>Crypto is hard and cumbersome to secure ( paper keys, hw Wallets)

are hardware/paper wallets hard/cumbersome to use? I suppose they're less intuitive locking up a metal bar, but they're not exactly hard to use. If anything they're easier to secure because you can store multiple redundant copies, whereas you can't with gold.
Actually that is correct in many countries (including US). After a period of inactivity (typically 3-5 years) the bank is required to turn over the money from inactive accounts to the state. This process is called escheatment. I'm not joking.
Yeah true in my friends case though people losing keys continues such as the recent story

Depends on you, the professor, the college, and the rules as to how you might interpret "individual" homework assignments and study "groups", particularly if you're led to believe you'll get removed from the program for transgressing. This particular issue was fleshed out quickly (and sanely, imo) but it did contribute to why the group didn't like one particular individual. Not everyone in the program is there to network and build trust!
Indeed, and it's not being helped by people claiming we're all going to do it wrong anyway so they won't tell us just in case we'll roll our own crypto with it. At least that was my experience getting into the topic before I knew what to even search for.
Debian Installer Bullseye RC 1 release
Agree with someone else's comment questioning how is the data ingested and used.

10PB seems like a lot to store in S3 buckets. I assume much of that data is not accessed frequently or would be used in a big data scenario. Maybe some other services like Glacier or RedShift (I think).
I know a chem prof who built a Lego spectrometer. https://publiclab.org/wiki/lego-spectrometer

Legos are just wonderful.

edit: I know nothing about woodworking or crafting any building materials, but I always wish I could perform those types of projects. And whenever some potential project comes up, I think to myself, "but I could build it with Legos."
We haven't updated it in a while, but check out DBToaster [1]. Give it some SQL queries and a set of tables, and it'll compile for you a Scala or C++ class with insert() and delete() functions for every table listed, as well as a functions to get the (incrementally maintained) result of any query. Supports SQL92, with some decent extensibility for UDFs, etc... and has quite a bit of theory backing it.

Was there actual wrongdoing that the buggy system allowed and made difficult/impossible to trace or was it bugs all the way down?
Crypto is not banned by that regulation, rather it is explicitly ruled out from being used like legal tender.

A lot of liquidity is moving to L2 Ethereum already and you can definitely execute smart contracts there for way less than $1 (e.g. on Polygon).

As for why people are willing to pay high gas fees on L1 - have you considered the possibility that the opportunities and value that they're getting out of it are worth the cost?
the patents for lego bricks have long expired, so anyone can copy them, which is why we are now seeing many alternative lego compatible brands, because they are in fact legal.

what is not legal is to clone the exact models that lego produces, and to pretend that a clone is lego, which it isn't. but as long as the alternative brands come up with their own models they are perfectly legitimate.

as for this microscope, it's not even a product, just a design, there are websites where these designs are shared, and even sold (without the bricks which you have to acquire separately). you can even upload your own designs to a lego ideas site where you can promote it and ask lego to sell it as a model.
In games and embedded systems, a very common pattern is batched heap allocation: a single allocation of an array of foo, and/or an array of foo mixed with other types, or sometimes a memory managed data structure like a memory pool. This is one big reason that the C++ Standard Template Library was shunned in game studios for a long time; it automatically did it’s own heap allocations, sometimes at inopportune times IIRC like in constructors, and didn’t let the caller choose. EA wrote their own version (EASTL) that was game friendly because it allowed control of the allocator.

In GPU programming, there are actual different memory sub-systems, with different sizes and different performance implications, so it’s critical that the caller is able to do the allocation & deallocation any way they want. This is why most well designed GPU APIs rarely allocate GPU memory inside the API, but instead are designed to work with caller-provided pointers to buffers.
Strange that screen reader support for mobile devices is in the intermediate category, but screen reader support for other platforms is considered advanced. Maybe it's because mobile games tend to have simpler mechanics. But if your engine doesn't implement platform accessibility APIs, it's probably not much easier to remedy that on mobile than on desktop.
I'm just sad it wasn't a botnet to bump ratings.

I was hoping that society was saved and that "The Kardashians" was, perhaps, only so "popular" due to this botnet.
While the competition might have M1 competitors (perf/power) "just around the corner", Apple has the M1 out right now. You can go buy an M1 Mac today. If I need to wait until next quarter or the second half of the year to get an M1 competitor that doesn't help me much today.
>it's really surprising to me how many eagerly lap up the angle Apple is pushing without much reflection, even on HN. Like the good old Apple hype days.

Post purchase Rationalization or Apple uses upvote farms or fake accounts.

All 3 are marketing. Not surprising in the slightest bit. Apple lives by marketing where the competition has to live by product quality.

I look at my real world peers that fall for Apple and none of them are excellent when it comes to tech.
That's exactly my point, but I think you articulated it way better than I did.
