Dishwashing fluids contain bleach and other harsh chemicals that can e.g. remove caked on tea residue from cups, something soap will not do without a lot of direct mechanical action.

As a tea drinker, unless you are very fastidious, handwashing generally doesn't remove everything and a layer can build up in cups which needs standing in bleach every so often to clear out.
I think it would be a lot easier to develop full self-driving than to get Americans to accept and implement the road safety measures that are in place in Denmark.

This is true, but the decision was made far back enough that other design decisions would have been weighed with consistency with the short behaviour in mind had that been the option chosen, and Rust would work slightly differently than how it currently works.

This is in the era of a new version having patch notes like (paraphrased) "Of the four pointer types with special syntax, we've converted two of them to regular types with names and deleted the fourth" - it predated that much concern with backwards compatibility.
Isn't the issue more concurrency than parallelism, though? Concurrency works just fine with a single core thanks to kernel-level juggling.

It really depends on what you are doing. Even though I have a similar setup, we are still outsourcing customer support with a third party for now. But when you do need the data from emails, I would expect this solution to be a better choice.

Fiddling with outsourced APIs has a lock-in factor as well as not guaranteeing time-save if you don't have someone on the team already familiar with the third party product. I've certainly burned myself excessive outsourcing as well.
"Interest rate funds" they are called here. Unsure what the best english translation is. A fund that invests in interest rate carrying instruments like bonds. With a large diverse portfolio you get a small but steady interest similar to a savings account. It is still a fund though - not savings - so obviously there is risk involved.

> Funny world. Negative interest rates would have been unthinkable a decade ago. Yet, here we are about to normalize that savings in a bank account are not okay.

Going from receiving interest to paying interest is psychologically shocking, but not financially. We have always paid the bank to hold our money, it's just called inflation.
Indeed... it seems that the consensus is tending towards this being so bad a pun that it isn't even a pun :)
At a worse place?

I really don't get your comment. LIDAR of the type used by Waymo simply isn't possible to be put into a standard car of the price of a Model 3 or even Model S.

So these cars would simply have been delivered without that hardware.

Some limited types of lidar are only now starting to make their way into cars, but those are not near the required resolution.

Even if you assume magically they could have done that, even with LIDAR nobody has solved self-driving yet. So what are you base your assumption on that they would be further along?
No. Only partial combustion of PVC produces dioxins. Proper incineration plants do not produce any. So the solution is not filters, but hotter combustion.

> There was a time when you put your money in a savings account and the bank will pay a reasonable interest to cover inflation and give you some extra.

Around 15 years ago, I was getting something like 8% interest from my UK-based ISA account (an ISA is a kind of tax-free saving account in the UK). Now typical rates are more like 0.5%.
I think this would have been more true 10 years ago when Haskell and Lisp were the most likely place for people to have encountered "let".

Now? It's in Javascript in its ES6 evolution and related languages, Swift, Rust, and probably other "newer" languages I'm not aware of. Scala had it ten years ago also, but is more mainstream than it was then.
Sorry but this is false and we must end this misconception. Run JavaScript in a browser on a single-user machine? You are vulnerable.
Compared to Drupal/Joomla/WordPress, I find October CMS faster, more powerful and easier to work with (Laravel)—you just have to try it yourself and see.

Out of curiosity, is Apple's M1 processor seemingly faster because it is actually more similar to a normal CPU progression but all the other common CPU's - x86 - had retroactive performance hits due to patching Spectre.

> [..] fail to spell "read"

That's an excellent example to pick :)

"I find that book very hard to read"
( "An oboe is a reed instrument" )

and

"I read that book yesterday"
( "My car is red" )

Q: How do you explain to a non-native speaker how to pronounce the word 'read' when you say it aloud...
I was told by a Bajan that something similar holds in Barbados, viz., the reason you see so many unpainted houses in Barbados is because it classifies them as unfinished for tax purposes. However, I read somewhere that the tax deduction is actually quite small, so take that for what it’s worth.
People often don't get mortgages for such things, they're frequently working illegally or working legally for minimum wage and being paid cash the rest. Businesses can definitely do the same. If anything, these buildings are frequently built up slowly over years or decades, on paper being built by friends and family, so there's no need for a pesky bank loan to build the thing, just finance it from savings.

And regarding lack of regulations, I can assure you that about 50% of Europe isn't too keen on regulation, either.

Plus, few people are that stupid. This isn't actually dangerous. They generally leave some "decorative" rebar sticking out somewhere over 2m or so in the air, or on the actual roof of the building. Nobody can really get hurt, not more than you'd bump into the chimney :-)
NYT crosswords have a theme. I would imagine “poison penne” is one of the theme answers along with other pasta-based alliterations.

True. Why not though? It really depends on your software choices. Security might be one.

Web Developer Industry – What Happened in April?

This is common across the developing world.

Not a lot of people out of our close to 8 billion can afford such a huge expense in one go.
Web browsers do. Especially with v8 JIT, ASM.JS, WebAssembly. People have used it in the past to do things like write HTML pages that reach all the way down, across the browser, across docker, across gvisor, across selinux, across the operating system, across the hypervisor, and reprograms your CPU microcode. https://www.usenix.org/system/files/conference/usenixsecurit... I kind of wish browsers provided us the freedom to turn all those wasm jit optimizations off, for that reason. Does anyone know how to write a browser extension that does it? If you want something that should be done for consumer machines, push for ECC RAM.

Ask HN: How to deal with rapidly changing interests in life?
I am in my early twenties and I'm on the path of self improvement. I haven't had the best of times lately and instead of putting all the improvements off, I have set myself achievable goals. One of the things I have a lot of trouble with is my interests seem to shift weekly. One week it's guitar next week it's cybersec, followed by a week of mobile app development etc. At some point the cycle repeats but, I can never commit to finishing something. I usually reach a point where I feel like I have done the challenging bit and I lose interest for a while. Whenever I do find something I only do that thing for hours on hours losing track of time and neglecting my other responsibilities. It's incredibly frustrating to never have something to show for what I have worked on and to not be able to commit to goals and projects over the long term. As a result my developer portfolio is full of simple projects rather than the unfinished more interesting projects.

I'm afraid my self-improvement track and my future professional life will be the victim of this. I Would love to hear some suggestions or experiences regarding this issue.
Surely this will make everyone see the truth and end this silly javascript fad.

It was certainly no sure thing, and it’s easy to say that in hindsight. There were definitely a lot of people who walked away from the dot-com era with worthless stock options and wounded egos. Plenty of people ended up taking the “safe” route too and getting a job at IBM.

We’re in the same place with crypto right now. People will look back and say “oh jeez if only”. The early bazillionaires are already minted but there are a lot of crypto millionaires made every day. It’s just a lot of people dumping their life savings into BTC/ETH and enjoying the ride.

> So eliminating motor accidents would save around 3x more lives than curing malaria.

Indeed, a worthwhile intervention. But when do you think Tesla will be auto-updating the FSD rickshaws in Liberia?
I agree. I want these turned on for shared servers and on the consumer on OS processes that I don't trust. But I would want an option to turn it off for JavaScript-heavy sites that I do trust.

I'm frankly amazed that the mitigations so far have not already been disastrous to performance. Either we accept drastically less performance from now until basically forever, or we adopt a more fine-grained security model.
Like they have in South Africa? That's going well...
Cant Costco, Walmart also do the same thing, why is Amazon being singled out here?
Efficiency claims that look way too good to be true usually are, and you have to ask how everyone else in the field somehow overlooked this apparently easy money, especially if the underlying principles are well-known and have been in use for decades, as is the case here (blown flaps and such in combat aircraft.)

I do not know whether this is the case here, but the trick to making such claims, without actually dissembling, is to first be highly specific about what it is that you are measuring and comparing, but then be quite vague about it in the press release, trusting that a journalist will cherry-pick from the claims to make his story look exciting, and quite possibly mix and match claims that cannot be satisfied together.

If this technology really could give 10% more thrust with half the power and 70% of the weight of a turbofan, then Jetoptera (or some other company) could be making real money converting at least business and commuter jets to use these devices - so why isn't this happening? The whole 737 MAX debacle started with Boeing being under intense competitive pressure to improve fuel consumption by just a few percent.

We also see that "Jetoptera is more or less agnostic about where it gets its compressed air from, although it reasons battery technology will need to reach energy density figures around 1,500 Wh/kg (current state-of-the-art batteries are around 260 Wh/kg) before it'll start making sense to fit the J-2000 with an electric compressor." That would be just a 477% improvement in a feld where 10% is a big deal! Note that current battery technology is already sufficient for conventional electric airplanes to begin to be useful.

With regard to your last paragraph, none of these technologies are trivial even in isolation, let alone combined, regardless of the number of puff-pieces like this one written by people whose enthusiasm seems to exceed their understanding.
> Amazon has issues, but "nationalizing" it would not ease those issues in fact in most ways it would make them worse.

Change my mind then? What would be worse in that situation?
I think the problem here is that it's training end-users to step outside of the normal security practices and normalizing that behavior. In the same way that most reputable companies would tell you "We'll never ask you for your password" and over time that has been well relegated to scammer-only territory. What if one day a company said "Hey, we're just gonna ask for your password this one time, but it's okay" - it mostly defeats the entire purpose of the protection scheme if users can easily be duped into not following it.

All of these vulnerabilities impact desktop and servers. I guess I wasn't clear, but when talking about "multi-tenant hosts", I meant servers.
Since a lot of people criticize their design, and obviously we all hate their business/legal practices, can we all just develop an alternative that is not patent-encumbered, give it a permissible license, and release it? That would put a knot in W3W's britches.

> I don't understand how a good-faith reading of an "activism on your own platforms" policy leads to "we can't discuss the data modeling for people's names anymore." This strikes me as a case of false equivalence.

ARM CPUs, including Apple's have been found vulnerable to some SPECTRE variants. As far as I understand, M1 already contains hardware mitigations for all known ones, but so do the latest Intel/AMD chips. (Or rather, contain fixes for all but these latest ones.)
If you use C++ in the "default" object-oriented way, your program won't be as efficient as it could've been. Computers are fast, so you can still make games which run well, but not as well as they could've been.

C++ can also be used in ways which are really fast on modern machines. You can, for example, write code in a data-oriented "struct of arrays" approach with C++. The argument is just that C++ isn't designed with that in mind, and that a high performance language designed today could be designed with modern machines in mind.
> If there isn't enough marketing advice out there about finding as many channels and methods as you can, I'll eat this comment with barbecue sauce.

The advice is all there, all right. It's just that most of it is "join a platform that's NOT being used by literally everyone on the planet", which is not very effective when "literally everyone on your planet" is the "raw material" that you fish your viewers out of.
It's a poisoned punne.
I think in the old days there were people who actually understand how the whole system works in a fairly detail manner. A Polymath in Computing. How your Code > Compiler > OS > CPU > Silicon Design > Manufacturing works.

I remember there was an old Intel fellow who understands Fabs, designed CPU, has experience with OS, wrote VM and does Web Programming for his hobby. ( He gave a talk somewhere but my Google fu is failing me )

Now everyone is so specialised in their domain no one has a good overview of anything. And no one understand how all the puzzle were fitted together in the first place.

And after one or two generation, the Why it was crafted in the first place was lost. And we are left with people specialise in that domain to "Maintain" it. Or reinventing the Flat tire as Alan Kay calls it.

No, because the check isn't part of the executable, it's part of the operating system. An attacker would have to modify the executable to have a valid certificate, which would take several months and a few hundred dollars, which usually makes it not worth it.
That would also be a political choice. And in many cases there isn't going to be a choice that maximises profit without taking into account the PR effect of choices, which again devolves into politics.

The idea that any organisation can be apolitical is fundamentally flawed. At most you can enforce the (political) choice of pretending you're not political by shutting down discussion of it and leaving it exclusively in the hands of the executives and board. This appears to be the avenue Basecamp has taken. They are free to pretend that's an apolitical choice, and we're free to point out that it's bullshit.
How often are you just having fun with these interests instead of doing it for self-improvement?

I mean, guitar for instance. Regular practice is good, but if you aren't having fun while doing it, it just means you feel like you are working during your free time. If you program for a living, doing it in your free time might feel like work even if you enjoy it. And so on.

I'll also mention that when trying out new things, it doesn't matter if you finish a project. You tried something, might or might not have liked it, and possibly figured it wasn't for you or that you rather like spending free time doing other things.
