Never heard of Heroicons before (looks like they're made by the same company that makes the other products listed on the website.)

But I've used FontAwesome before which I believe (or hope) is still the industry standard for free icons: https://fontawesome.com/ . Not sure if Heroicons or something else has displaced it in popularity rankings.

The other products -- Unsplash for photos, Undraw for illustrations -- were pretty cool references though and I'll be bookmarking them. Does anyone know if there are other resources for photos & illustrations that are popular among web developers?
Okay, so how can I chat to my friends or companies with WhatsApp on Linux? How can I order food similar to Grab or Gojek on Linux? How can I get a date on Linux like Tinder?

You can't. Sure, there are technological solutions to all of those, but in the real world that alone is pretty much useless.

But let's also keep in mind these are humans, flawed and all, who were experimented on without permission. Ethical (and consensual) experiments would never reveal the identity of the participants and their exact reaction(s) under the experimental conditions. Just because the experiment started without any ethical considerations doesn't mean all ethical considerations should be ignored with respect to the "data" collected by the experiment.

Interest is the amount of money you pay rich people to borrow their money.

Asset inflation due to decreasing interest only happens once when interest rates fall, and is followed by asset deflation when interest rates rise.

But interest is paid to rich people year after year.

Low interest rates are great for people without money.

So in practice there'd be little difference between what people do now and what they would do if this amendment was accepted.

What would change, however, is the temperature of debates about federal politics, and it would become harder for the two main parties to distinguish themselves and divide the population.
The most common modern geometry is the fourth one ("LCD") in your second link, where each pixel is indeed perfectly square. That's what I was referring to.

The fact it is made of three rectangular subpixels in no way means "pixels can't be square".

And the "glowing" effect in your picture is an artifact of light bleed from your camera. The only time we perceive pixels as round rather than square is if we have eyesight problems that blur the image projected onto our retina.
There's seldom such a thing as a nation-state that didn't start from organized crime. America started off as a smuggler gang called the Sons of Liberty, for example.

So, what would be needed to start a real, honest-to-god replacement for Android/iOS?

You'd need a whole governance structure for your project so it wasn't controlled by a sole entity. There would need to be assurances that using your project was stable long-term. That there were adults driving the bus, and that everyone could use the bus, etc.

You'd need to provide a roadmap for everything needed to be built to replace Android, piece by piece. (I guess you could re-use sections of open source code, but some would need to be rewritten from scratch?)

You'd need to contact developers, vendors, service providers, etc, the whole ecosystem existing around smart phones, and get them on board with your project. Sell it to them as "no longer being answerable only to Google and Apple". You'll also have to provide alternative revenue sources, as they may depend heavily on Google and Apple services for their revenue.

And then you need to find people to do the work, and get paid for it.

I'm guessing all this would take at least 6-12 months to get off the ground and some serious capital.
For me it's more about existing developer activity. In my bubble, 90% of the people are building with/on Ethereum or Polkadot. I usually build things together with others, not by my own, so having a large ecosystem is a requirement and so far, Ethereum is the only community that really fulfills that.
For anyone interested, the nice guys at https://aviation-edge.com supplied me access to their flight API so I can track how many flights fly directly over my little community in Gary Indiana: https://millerbeach.community

I wish I was able to track more frequently than every 15 minutes (free version api max, etc), because some aircraft pass overhead before they're picked up, so it's not the most accurate, but a rough figure to/from O'Hare, Midway, and Gary
Would public universities like Georgia Tech or Virginia Tech fit into this?

I mention these schools because if your friend is looking to study out-of-state anyway, a non-resident may have an advantage in the application process. All things equal, an out-of-state student will bring in more tuition dollars than an in-state resident, and high-end universities like GT, VT don’t like turning away money.
FTA: "the latest semiconductor production technology, known as 5-nanometer plus, or N5P. Producing such advanced chipsets takes at least three months”

I know as good as nothing of this process, but I can’t imagine the latency from silicon wafer to finished product is 3 months. I also can’t imagine some inherent start-up delay for producing the first chip (but as I said: I know as good as nothing of this process), so where do those 3 months go? Is it a matter of “you have to be extremely lucky to hit so few minor issues that it only takes 3 months to have a first working product”?

> As far as I can tell (correct me if I'm wrong), no actual malicious commit has been found to be deliberately introduced and merged into the tree, and most of the recent commits that triggered this whole mess were from a claimed custom static analyzers that resulted in wrong/useless patches but not necessarily malicious.

My understanding is that the malicious commits described in their paper were submitted under alias email addresses, and the authors have not identified those addresses or the commits. So at this point there is no way to confirm that these malicious commits were properly reverted besides taking the authors word for it. To quote Mike Dolan's letter: "While the U of MN researchers claimed to take steps to prevent inclusion of vulnerabilities in the final software, their failure to gain consent suggests a lack of care. There are also amplified consequences because Linux kernel changes are picked up by many other downstream projects that build off of the kernel codebase." And I think it's fair for maintainers to question the competence and want to be able to verify everything, especially considering the consequences if the authors made a mistake.

But yes, assuming they used fake accounts, none of those 190 or so patches selected are the malicious ones from the paper. None of them appear to introduce any vulnerabilities, and the same for the weird commits from Aditya.

There was a deep dive about this in Bloomberg Odd Lots podcast. Although some of the price increase was due to the industry predicting lower demand and getting rid of inventory.

Yes, Java's type system "so weak". Just because many other popular languages have similarly weak type systems doesn't make them less weak. Also, as a long-time Haskell user, I can assure you that nullable types were nothing new even several decades ago. Perhaps you have only worked with object-oriented languages, where nullability is typically the default (which is a bad idea).
Not on the Model 3,Y, it doesn't. You press the button on the left widget behind the steering wheel (the lever/knob you use for your turn signal).
The cores don't serve the same purpose as the M1 cores. M1 is optimized for single thread at the cost of die size (and a bit of power). I don't have exact numbers, but say the apple M1 core takes 1.5x the die area of N2, the you'd get better performance by putting in 1.5x the number of N2 cores.
It is nice, isn't it. I find their work inspirational.
Something like that could actually work. Bricks were often assembled into the kiln that would fire them. If you could figure out a way to efficiently bake these structures they would be incredibly durable and would require no additives since you would want to use all clay.

~2 cups of coffee probably 5-6 days a week, sometimes tea instead, rarely past noon and never past ~2:00PM (I only drink it as late as, say, 1:00PM if I happen not to realize how late it is). Maybe one soda per month, tops, don't really pay attention to when I have those, though. I'd guess afternoon/evening mostly, but it's rare enough that I doubt it's doing anything meaningful to my overall sleep-trends.

I could try cutting it out, but I've had trouble falling asleep my entire life, and my average annual caffeine intake was very low until my mid-teens. I'm actually much better about sleep now than I used to be, even without meds. Worth a shot, though, I guess. I'd been thinking about dropping my intake to one cup per day, alternating coffee and green tea (which would represent a large increase in my consumption of green tea) anyway. Hell, at lower volume I could justify buying the expensive, low-package-weight, really, really good beans, so the flavor of the coffee I'm drinking would improve, though I might have to group coffee-days rather than alternate them, to avoid issues with beans going stale. Seems like ~halving my caffeine would be an OK start.

Sigh. Guess I'm going to be spending a lot of money on sparkling water, just like when I kicked my soda habit :-)
While I have respect for honest work, I believe the premise is wrong.

We do not need more IPv4 addresses. We need less. IPv4 availability is hampering IPv6 transition. Regions that have few IPv4 addresses have much better IPv6 support, and it is primarily those with lots of IPv4 addresses that are dragging their feet and the rest of the world with them.

I propose ICANN and RIR add a requirement on all IPv4 registrations that either IPv6 connectivity is available to their customers, or they lost 10%/y of their IPv4 addresses, to be redistributed to those that support IPv6 yet require IPv4 because of the former laggards.

I don’t think you’re missing an instruction. A few comments, still.

Bitwise instructions are very cheap, 1 cycle of latency. Skylake can run 3 of them every clock, Zen 2 can run 4 of them per clock. I wouldn’t worry about that extra vpand instruction too much.

About vptest, the latency is not great, 6-7 cycles. If you gonna branch on the outcome, and the branch is not predictable (your code takes random branch every time the instruction at specific address is running), you gonna waste time. Sometimes that’s unavoidable, like when your goal is something similar to memchr() function (however I’d recommend _mm256_movemask_epi8 instead for that). But other times it’s possible to rework into something better: mask lanes with _mm256_blendv_[something], zero out stuff with bitwise AND, that kind of stuff.

> Ignoring the part where an entire group of people seem to have forgotten that caravans exist

I don't think they forgot that they exist, just that they serve a significantly different niche.

A caravan (or travel trailer) is designed to be moved easily and regularly. Ideally with the smallest vehicle possible. This means they are built incredibly lightly, with at least a passing concern for aerodynamics.

Tiny houses aren't really designed to be moved often. They have generally have much more sturdily built and larger internal fixtures. They aren't particularly great on the road, often people hire a company to move them when they need to. But they are designed to be lived in full time.
Downvotes are really getting out of hand on this site. It's like a person cannot even express slight negativity. I _want_ to have a completely FOSS audio production stack.

>Bob Smith, chief executive of Blue Origin, said NASA’s decision was based on flawed evaluations of the bids — misjudging advantages of Blue Origin’s proposal and downplaying technical challenges in SpaceX’s. He also said NASA had placed a bigger emphasis on bottom-line cost than it said it would.

>“It’s really atypical for NASA to make these kinds of errors,” Mr. Smith said in an interview. “They’re generally quite good at acquisition, especially its flagship missions like returning America to the surface of the moon. We felt that these errors needed to be addressed and remedied.”

"it's obviously a mistake because they didn't throw money at lockheed, boeing, and us."

Edit: I wonder if this complaint will be used as a way for congresscritters to make NASA change their plans. Can't just call it a jobs program, but if you can allege an error on NASA's part, you've got a lot of cover to put your thumb on the scale.

Not the GP, and I really don't agree with their position, but I did switch from two monitors to a single UW last year.

TBF my old setup was a decade old so it was merely a 24" (1920x1200) and a 19" (1280x1024 in portrait).

Though my new display has a much larger logical size, the inability to put something fullscreen on one of the monitors (whether the small one or the large one, depending on the content) is definitely one of the drawbacks I had a hard time getting used to, not only can it be inconvenient, it actually wastes space as I can't get rid of window decorations, which putting e.g. a video player or browser window in fullscreen allowed.

Low interest rates means pensions and sovereign wealth funds that have targets for growth (usually 7 to 10% for pensions) must chase riskier assets.

> Only nine of the 73 funds studied had an assumed rate below 7.5 percent in 2014, but about half had adopted rates below that percentage by the end of fiscal year 2017.

The only possible way to come even close to 7.5% is to buy equities or exotic assets like VC funds farther out the risk curve.

The easy money is everywhere, and fixed income is taking it on the chin.

And for people without money, everything good in life - high quality education, housing, food, healthcare, etc. - is only going up.

She has problems with 16GB on x86. A single docker container and compiling erlang really don't use that much. It's many tabs of office 365, google docs, and social media, and how every app is an electron app now that eats memory.

I think we as programmers have lost sight of how a single gif in memory is about the same size as a whole docker container.
I do think it is important to challenge an off the cuff comment which is not backed up by specific knowledge or reference. Especially if that comment perpetuates an idea that leads to disparaging people.

The comment thread was specifically regarding religion so it is entirely applicable and important.

There are plenty of examples on HN where religious documents other than the Bible or the Pentateuch are discussed. [0][1][2]

Religion and/or the lack thereof impacts our culture and politics in outstanding ways. To ignore them or not discuss them leaves us blind to significant reasonings that have built the world we live in today.

There are 1 billion people working for a pittance in China. There's hardly any way for anyone to compete with China on low-cost manufacturing at scale. Chips are something that smaller, smarter teams can do, it's a different kind of industry.

> and any development work that doesn’t require an IDE

Probably depends on the IDE and the language. My impression is that newer computers (especially in the "consumer" / "general public" market) have especially improved efficiency. They're not much faster, but they last longer on smaller batteries.

My late 2013 15" (2.3 GHz / 16 GB RAM) works great with Pycharm for moderately sized projects. It's even usable for personal Rust projects (with the intellij-rust plugin).

For Rust it's somewhat slower than my i5-8500 desktop but not by much. For incremental compiles, I don't feel like I'm waiting around more. The i5 mainly wins when it can use all six cores.

It's however quite a bit faster than my work HP ProBook with an i5-8250U which is a much newer machine (2018 I'd say).

Aside from battery life, which is somewhat lesser, all in all the mac is a much, much better machine than the HP, especially for "creature comforts": gorgeous screen, no misaligned panels rubbing against my wrists, great trackpad, no random coil whine, inaudible fans unless it starts compiling for a while, no background noise on the headphone out, integrated optical output when I want to use my home stereo.
Google's business model is where they automate everything, and you keep running on the treadmill. From a business standpoint, its fabulous, and I'd probably applaud them if they weren't so awful.
