The full range of everything we do is available to anyone who asks. You have to email hn@ycombinator.com, as the FAQ explains (https://news.ycombinator.com/newsfaq.html), but there's no restriction on whom we help, or how. We help people who have abused this site for years and then ask us (sometimes exceedingly impolitely!) to clean up what they did, and we treat them the same way as we treat anyone; I may grit my teeth while doing it, but that's all. Why? Because it's best for the community in the long run if we treat everyone the same way, and because—as I tell users who email—we don't want anyone to get in trouble from anything they posted to HN.
But since so much software these days is cross-platform, apps/sites will still have to work performantly on Intel chips. E.g. Google can't slow down Chrome to take advantage of Mac speed increases, because it would become unusable on Windows.

So I actually think that Mac software will hold the performance edge for a long, long time.
Ethics needs to be taught.

People have to encounter ethical challenges and consider how to respond to them before being put in the position of having to make a real ethical choice. Ethics isn't just about a gut check on "right vs wrong," and having a rational framework to apply to situations helps people reason about the choices they make.

And, let's make it mandatory, not elective.
Wisdom for the ages.
I don't know stats, but checking out the passings section of scuba board does indicate it's a fair number of people. The thing that is different about diving from bicycling or skiing is you really don't need to be physically fit to dive. It's relaxing and easy, people dive into their 70s and 80s so there are a lot of heart attacks of older people that get chocked up to diving and may just be natural causes.
The index doesn't include housing, food, and energy either as those are considered 'too volatile'. It's no longer targeting what anybody actually consumes anymore
Yeah, I wasn't going to touch this shit. Especially when all these people who were going on and on about privacy suddenly decided to about face, it made me very suspicious. No way.
Is "general" or "generic" more misleading than "generate"?
> Meanwhile there are no equivalent places where you can take your dirty dishes to wash.

Considering that "throwaway packaging and cutlery" is a common solution to this: Order food, the packaging, plastic forks and spoons and napkins included. And seeing that a large demography is trying to live off "less waste", I do see an opportunity here.

A community "diswashing service". It would need solid infra and tech to not immediately turn into a rat-infested-mould-party, but I truly think that a place where e.g. you drop your dishes, cutlery, glasses etc, and can pick them up in the evening filled with a meal, is an opportunity. For example.
Since these insert events are being buffered, what happens if the process dies? Are all of those inserts lost?

I feel like Erlang/Elixir is designed to handle cases like this robustly, but it's not clear to me how this code avoids losing data when a process crashes, potentially up to 5s worth of updates!
Judging from the last sentence, it seems like you're aware that the word "gender" as it's used nowadays often doesn't refer to biological sex, especially in the context of gender identity/expression. Setting aside the semantic argument, is there even anyone out there saying "there are more than two genders", and actually mean biological sex? What would they even mean by that? From what I can tell, anyone saying "there are only two genders, it's a biological fact" seems to be deliberately shifting the goalposts for the sole purpose of being inflammatory. Otherwise I'm not really sure I understand. I've never heard of anyone saying they were genderfluid as a result of their chromosomes.
> nitrogen narcosis sometimes causes inexperienced divers to reach it

For those of us who (don't) remember the 60's, experience can take many forms. I remember reaching a depth of 100' in scuba training, and being asked to do arithmetic at a whiteboard.

"Um, ask me how I wrote my thesis..."
If you can’t run your business because you can’t afford to offer a fair wage your business is not sustainable.
Not for many professionals it’s not.

If you’re making good money, investing $1-2 dollars a day to be able to work more productively is incredible roi.

I hope to see people normalize spending $ on software. A lot of software is way under priced, and if it was priced higher, we’d have more incentives for companies to come and make more great software.
It says a lot about architecture that XREF's are still considered a bit exotic. They were introduced with AutoCAD r11 in 1990.

One of the things it says is why Autodesk went to a subscription model. Another is why Autodesk deprecated AutoLisp. These on top of how little the economics of most architectural firms benefit from new features.
I recommend volunteering with a local trail organization. You'll likely find some interesting old timers who can teach you a ton about building trails.

One suspects that the history of actual tyrannical robber barons might demonstrate some flaws in this argument.
Facebook Stopped Employees from Reading an Internal Report About Insurrection
I do hear figures in single megabucks for relatively small tapeouts.

Back in 65nm, 40nm days, big tapeouts were already costing in high 6 figure digits in masks.

And... masks are not the most expensive items on the signoff costs these days.

Specialist verification, outsourced synthesis, layout, analog, physical, test, and other specialist services will easily cost more than the maskset for <40nm.

I would not be surprised if tier 1 fabless already spend $10m+ per design just on them.
Birds and Frogs (AMS Einstein Lecture, Written) [pdf]
Yeah. This is the standard too many people are bad 60s rhetoric.

The reality is that China and Japan are barreling towards a too many old people crises, as is India.

I come from Bengal, and my state, and city specifically have had a TFR below 1.8 for twenty years now. Combine that with out migration and we already have a problem there.
Wealth inequality comes when you can create money out of thin air and buy bonds with it, injecting cash into the financial system. Bond owners get to sell their devaluing assets to the fed at inflated prices. Those profits get put back into the system via buying stocks, bitcoin, houses and other rare assets. The people who gain the most are the people who already own this assets, which is typically not the poor.

Bitcoin cannot be created out of thin air. You can't arbitrarily decide to inject more of it into the system. When you own Bitcoin, your holdings cannot be debased. Since poor people's wealth is mostly cash, debasement of currency hurts them the most.

There is a tragic irony, in where if a poor person throws their savings into Bitcoin, they are chastised as being foolish and preyed upon, and they need to be protected. If they keep their savings in fiat, they get debased (USD debased by 20% in 2020, 320% in last 20 years) as inflation eventually catches up. The Feds took away the ability to save. A Bank of America savings accounts offer 0.01% APY, 0.05% if you have more money. No one believes in a future where saving is worth anything.
I wonder what the founders felt when they saw the M1 benchmarks.
It seems that Apple’s solution to underpowered laptops is giving them serious power.
If I were the founders I’d be queasy.
That's how platforms evolve. First they work to attract developers, and later they work to reduce abuse.

Very cool, disappointing about the recency of the data
You can rent a xeon server w 32 gb ram with gigabit internet and SSD for $30/mo from hetzner.

Or spend $600 and get an always-on home PC that you can vnc to with your hi speed connection

On the other hand, if this catches on, then i can see people airbnb-ing their servers

on the third hand, if this catches on , users will soon realize they can spend the $30 to buy the extra RAM they re missing
It would be hard to claim that quantitative easing and stimulus has "nothing" to do with asset prices but surely the biggest change in the past year has been the incredible shift in spending habits. White collar workers have had way fewer expenses (work-from-home) and way less lifestyle-based things to spend their discretionary income on. No vacations, no dining out, no new clothes etc. People have been at home and looking back into old hobbies. Money flowing into collectibles and other alternative investments has been a straightforward result of that.
Lol, I get the reference, but missed the excuse in that.
I would have a personal problem relating to or associating with anyone who held anti-LGBT beliefs in their heart, the same way I'd never work with anyone who believed Black people were in any way inferior to other people.

But this litigation of what's inside people's heads, when what they're publicly advocating for and voting for is the position we're asking of them in the first place, just makes me think we're surveilling for people to be angry at, because it gives us a dopamine hit.

We're not being asked to associate with anyone's aunt here and I think we should try to keep to the topic at hand.
This is exciting given WordPress's reach and track record with open source. Glad to see such a useful tool find a home!
> a disk-based redis clone is actually more performant than redis

Who says it's faster? This is supposed to make things cheaper.
I think it's also worth acknowledging the current climate and context of concerns about law enforcement in general. These issues are often deeply nuanced, and I don't think LEA is currently equipped to handle that nuance. The fact that the legal system isn't currently involved in some of these cases is arguably a good thing.
Tweaking your wording slightly, it's basically the fundamentals of social contract theory.

I may have the freedom to bash my neighbor's head with a rock, but they have the same freedom to do the same to me. This isn't as useful as the freedom to sleep at night, so we voluntarily give up this freedom.

Reframing to the topic at hand: if the freedom to mutate the code on my mobile device makes it more likely that I'll get pwned by some clever social-engineering than the odds I'll improve my quality of life by tweaking some behaviors on the phone, then it's entirely rational for me to give up that freedom. And, indeed, millions of phone purchasers annually make that decision.
Are Play Store regulations the only defense against this kind of attack? If so, then yikes!
But if they do, a malicious actor can use that information to circumvent their restrictions, and its their walled garden, so they have very little incentive to tell everyone exactly what they don't like.
for the moment, I would consider the concept and not so much the price. What they charge is likely not a lower bound on their internal cost structure. The product came out of beta today, so their pricing seeks to first attract those users with a high need and to test their pricing capacity. Better to try to charge too much and then go lower than to take too little.

Given that their engineering expenses are a fixed cost and the majority of their spending, they'll be able to lower prices as they scale.
If VR materializes and requires Facebook it’ll be ignored. We lived without VR for a long time, it really isn’t a necessity.
Aside from that most of those specific services aren't available in my location, you really can't. Do you think I'm stupid and haven't tried?

With shaders this is often the best bet. You end up encoding some value you want to measure as a color, and you can observe how it varies over what you’re drawing. There are some pretty sophisticated step debugging tools these days, but just like with print debugging, debugging by color always works on all platforms and has no special setup.
Exactly, thus eliminating the need for the we-know-better than you authority on what can and can't be discussed in the first place; glad to see we have yet again come back around to the same conclusion on censorship.
Looks useful but memorizing commands can be challenging. I'm guessing there's something in mind for this...

ESA to live tweet asteroid impact exercise
Many (most?) standards bodies charge for their standards documents and data feeds. There are obviously costs associated with running IATA; I don't see why they should be obliged to provide their data for free, especially when the typical user of such data is likely to build a for-profit business on top of it.

I don't think IATA actually assigns the codes, but rather aggregates them. In the US, the FAA assigns the airport identifiers: https://www.faa.gov/nextgen/cip/airport_facility/

I don’t think that’s accurate, because Docker on macOS involves virtualization. And Teams is the worst resource hog I’ve used. Though I don’t use Office or social media much (Twitter occasionally) so maybe that’s it.
DRPC: A full replacement for gRPC in under 3kloc
In particular I think there's a high barrier to entry for sharing computer content among a large group of people - in person. Even projectors have their own layers of pain, from connectivity, to availability, to image quality. And then there's the quality of the presenter, who often was hired based on their merits in their field of expertise, not on their presenting skills. And let's be honest: if they could do all of this stuff well, they probably wouldn't be working for some of my customers. And then there's the quality of the audience. Back-seat driving can end up distracting everyone from the point of the meeting. I know I've been guilty of that myself. Not to mention all of the people who don't have 20/20 vision and can't or won't do anything about it.

The most expedient thing sometimes is to print out a few copies so everyone can absorb the information at their own pace.
As someone in a similar boat without an android, I think it adds to the discussion. It makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside to see such rants.
Careful there, you're getting awfully close to describing the tax man.
Correct. We became addicted to debt as a stimulant for the economy rather than riding out real recessions that work to realign capital towards actual productive use cases (painful but restorative). And now we've hit the limits of the growth that can be squeezed from juicing the national debt. This ends in hyperinflation at worst and permanent stagflation at best.
I have to pay the bus company to ride the bus, it doesn't seem insane that the bus company may want to charge me money if I asked them for a full, comprehensive, organized list of stops and schedules.

Sure, there are reasons for why they would want to make it available for free, but there are also reasons for why they would want to charge me, and they aren't unreasonable. I don't have any fundamental, natural right to a transportation network curating and providing their data for my consumption. It might not care enough about my needs to spend money do so. It might not care enough about my needs to spend money to do so for free.
Interesting, I didn't realize this was the case.
is Chrome to blame or the web applications we typically run?
Building and relying on Google and then complain when they pull the rug from under you. My fellow devs, when will you learn? Avoid Apple and Google.
And that he used some of his students as nude models. Talk about a power dynamic issue there. What if they refused? Did they even feel like they could refuse?
Depends on your definition of startup I guess. Certainly seems to be enough capital available.

I definitely don't agree with premise that it's now Boeing vs Airbus now (certainly less so than it was a few years ago when x86 was the only game in town).
That unemployment pay is more attractive than working says a lot about prevailing wages. If unemployment covers rent and working does not, why in the hell would any rational person want to work? And why should employers think they shouldn't have to compete with that?

motor/generator for a range extender is very simple. No gearbox, much smaller than gas engine to drive a car. Indeed Mazda was flitting with using the rotary for the range extender - rotaries are TINY. There was an RX-7 repair shop behind mine and the guys could pick the engines up out of the engine bay by hand - couple hundred pounds tops. A rotary for a range extender would probably be a bit bigger than the average cars starter. Runs at fixed speed in the optimal power band for the engine makes it incredibly efficient as well as reliable.

Yes, it adds more complexity but it also gets you something you can't get with an all electric - hundreds of miles of range in minutes with a simple gas tank fill up.

Yes, it would be great if the technology was mature enough to go pure EV. But batteries and power delivery for them isn't there for the vast majority of people. So rather than stick our heads in the sand, what's wrong with transitional technology while we work on plugging the gaps?

Either that email was many years ago or something got confused, because we rename accounts for users all the time.

In fact, when we developed that feature, I replied to everyone who had emailed over the years asking for it, asking if they still wanted it. If you weren't on that list, your email must have been many years ago.

Edit: oops - I see I neglected the important thing. If you still want your account to be renamed, please email hn@ycombinator.com and we'll be happy to help!

The thing is that RAM is really cheap. Right now on my machine Firefox is using 5GB of RAM, which at current prices would cost about 75¢/month amortized over three years. It seems hard to justify paying 40 times that amount for this service

From your links:

1st: title mentions they're used by attackers. First sentence: "Keystroke logging software is one of the oldest forms of malware. Under "definition" they state "One of the oldest forms of cyber threat, these keystroke loggers record the information you type into a website or application and send to back to a third party"

Why did you take your sentence out of context? Those above and below state keyloggers are used for criminal activity. The article is about keyloggers being malicious.

Second link: "Today, keyloggers are mainly used to steal user data relating to various online payment systems, and virus writers are constantly writing new keylogger Trojans for this very purpose."

Well, I guess that defines the common usage, hence the word "most". The article also states that "keyloggers have pushed phishing out of first place as the most-used method in the theft of confidential information". So not only are they mostly used for crime, they are the number one method for stealing confidential information.

And most every other link you posted also either defines them as malicious or points out that most uses are malicious.

So, by what metric you claim ". Yes, a keylogger need not be malicious. But so far you competently have made the case that the common meaning is most certainly malicious, and it's not even a close assessment.

So - what was your metric to claim "the common meaning of keylogger is not restricted to malicious software"? This list clearly supports that malicious use is by far the common meaning.

Please state your metric for "common meaning" then we'll test it. If you have no metric, we're done, since so far all the data points to your claim being false.

You are displaying your ignorance of trucks. For decades now, all automobiles and trucks have included proprietary computer systems. Some are easy to hack and alter. Some are more expensive/challenging, but people do it. An EV is missing _most_ of the mechanical parts that defined a "truck" for a century, and is basically only four tiny motors, brakes, a computer system, and a battery with wheels. The sole characteristics of "truck" that still remain which Henry Ford would recognize are "has wheels" and "can carry cargo".
I always understood it as that too.
There's PGF/TikZ[1], but from what i've seen, it appears a bit clunky. These days I usually see packages which are basically convenience wrappers living above TikZ for common usecases (e.g. visualizing neural networks in papers)
