That's the number of times per second the main update code runs and it has nothing to do with the number of clock cycles or instructions per second the CPU can run (other than the fact that the chip needs to be fast enough to have the update code finish before the next time it needs to start).
My experience is that Exynos hw was great... but Samsung software (including drivers) was problematic.

Combine to with legacy of android design going for flexibility, including allowance for inefficient options (especially important in comparing graphics - Several Apple models ran on edge of being able to paint one frame without stutter assuming well-optimized code - Apple spent a lot of time ensuring you didn't see that) and you get certain reputation.

The only thing that I noticed really problematic is graphics intensive software optimized for Qualcomm.

Also, the real issue is not that Samsung doesn't have the capability. A lot of Apple "secret sauce" is that they don't have contractually separated design teams that have to "shop" around for suppliers/buyers, which means that both Qualcomm and Samsung are forced to make more mediocre CPUs because it brings wider selection of buyers - whereas Apple can design device with SoC together, which let's them easily take decisions like "ok, let's put A LOT MORE L1/L2 cache on each core" because they aren't going to deal with customers not wanting to buy them.
Having done this it does work well - a lot better that the botched Agile/Scrum solutions that many struggle with.
If I had to hazard a guess, it's more of a "thing that somehow got into our React toolchain" and less of a "most critical part".

I didn't claim that rebooting a Windows box is impossible or hard. It is just that group policies are no complete solution for anything, they are just a small and imho weird part.

Also, for a lot of things there is just no group policy you can set somewhere, so you are still in need of some "execute me that script that does the needful" in a lot of cases.
Didn't you see the part where it's been designed to protect your privacy?

It's only there to make sure all the cameras and internet microphones around your neighborhood stay live. You know, to protect your privacy.
Uhh, no, it's totally correct that it will slam on the brakes.

Source: own a Subaru, have driven it at a cardboard box in the middle of the street, and have had it slam on the brakes. Have also had it slam on the brakes when swerved into my lane, saving me from an accident. So... worth it.
PSVR Said to Have 4.1MP Per-Eye, Eye-Tracking, & Head-Mounted Haptics
This might be out of date now, but 10 years ago I purchased a couple of monitors for a digital display. IIRC the monitors were more expensive because the screen wouldn't "burn" in images if left on the same image for a long period of time.
"effective" like "protects" are nebulous terms.

The reality is that vaccines target multiple proteins and one protein mutation usually does not even evade that specific protein from matching (much).

It's a sliding bumpy scale with each mutation reducing the effectiveness of the vaccine some small random amount.

It's very likely that all the current vaccines confer sufficient immunity to all current variants to a degree that will prevent serious Illness and likely even transmissibility.

But the real takeaway here is that, like flu, we are looking at yearly covid boosters for everyone for years to come.
Nope, more likely there are internal CPU timers which emits hardware interrupts on which the tasks are performed
You can flip a setting to enable DNT in a browser too. The sidewalk setting may have more of an effect for now, but that is only a temporary hurdle.
And as long as the faraday cage wasn't in interior walls, wifi would work really well on 2.4 inside your house, with such a nice low noise floor. You'd need it though, since cell service would be rather poor.
The reason for ASP.NET is that it was what Atwood and Spolsky knew. It also helped that they knew SQL-Server scales well vertically. It was a good choice then and would be a good choice today.

Stack Overflow was able to grow huge because it was built on the Microsoft stack. For a long time it ran on a single database server...a big box with lots and lots of disks and RAM. Because it was a business from the beginning, they were willing to pay for sound technology. They could do so because they were adequately capitalized.

Good luck.
If your mention of "non sensitive software" means you're looking for a position that isn't covered by ITAR, that's not possible. Even the people working in the SpaceX cafeteria are covered by ITAR.
If they are rolling their own os or are using microcontrollers sure, but if they are using a safety critical rtos like vxworks or integrity then it has rate monotonic scheduling built in using os threads.
btw, you may not be the problem, it's more likely it's your clothes. I had this problem for years, I was basically smelly 30 minutes after a shower and a fresh set of clothes.

I then learnt several tricks on how to wash my clothes properly, and the problem has gone away completely. Butyric acid stays in your clothes for a long, long time unless you use the right chemicals. I went from horribly smelly guy to no odour overnight.

I now soak all my T-shirts in a bucket with baking soda, rinse them and then put them in another bucket with diluted vinegar, then finally, normal wash. If you have white "pit stains" from deodorant, you want to clean that stuff off. There are special cleaners for that. I do this once every 6 months, and it's enough to keep it all fresh.

Being smelly all the time is a major knock to your self confidence and self image, it's worth the 30 minute hassle twice a year!
This could present an opportunity! Similar to what used to be a traveling TV repairman. Tubes were before my time, but I imagine a person who used to replace tubes in the TV.

Instead of fixing smart TVs, this "repairman" would go around with a hot air rework station and unsolder wifi chips from working smart TVs.

If I had a TV I would unsolder the wifi chip. Maybe even easier -- just cut the antenna traces on the PCB.
You can if you’re thinking clearly and able to be a good manager that can attract those people. Easy to fall down the hole of overwork, over stress, over pressure others.
Creative Coding Map
I actually felt like I learned a lot this way, although I had access to a highly competent person who knew nearly everything about the code base, and I would discuss with him like 4-5 times a day sometimes.

It felt like close collaboration, but I feel like if I would've been sitting with him I would have wasted a lot of his time and would have felt pressured to try to learn things faster than was reasonable. But I never tried it, so I don't know.
Stop having boards and shareholders then.

Or, at least tell them, our growth target this year is 2%, our growth max is 10%, if we grow more than that I'm concerned about the pressure on my employees and my goal is to have a great and sustainable place to work and not to fill the universe with paperclips, and I'm going to start laying off sales and marketing if we're taking on more commitments than we can handle. We're not letting you into the board if you disagree with it, and you'd better price this assumption into the stock if you want to hold stock.

You don't have to grow forever just because you're a company.

(I think I've heard companies register as a public benefit corporation to make it easier to push back on growth-seeking entryists.)

I find it goes even further than that. Just because someone is related to you does not make them your friends or good to be around.

Having to put up with shit "because it is family" can be really unhealthy.

Statements like "workplace is a family" really give me the creeps. I have never experienced it though so not sure how I would react.
This is similar to saying, if you don't want to be filmed in the street move to a private island. Doesnt solve the problem for most people. Brands don't care about the few exceptions that know their dark side. What they care about is that tens of millions don't.
I guess that means YouTube tracks everything in playlists so rather than give up on tracking people they would rather disallow putting content marked as "for children" in playlists.
Launching Habitcue to Open Beta Testing
> The most common form of interpersonal interaction has changed from genuine offers of assistance to displays of status and evaluations of said displays.

I don't actually mind the lack of cake. There's never going to be "too much cake", even if the communists got what they think they want.

I'm not much of a gift-giving person, so if a neighbor brought me cake, I'd feel like I owe them something in return, which is a weird feeling I don't want.

And I don't feel any status pressure, because I never even talk to my neighbors. My lawn looks like shit, my neighbors probably know, who cares.

No, it seems to me the principal component is online vs. offline. The most common form of interpersonal interaction for me, even before 2020, is talking to people online, on Reddit, Discord, or Hacker News.

Most of my neighbors are not people who I really want to be friends with. They're mostly older than me, mostly parents, probably with no shared hobbies or interests. But that's probably not even the result of "modernity" or "The Whest", it's probably because I'm a programmer with no kids who moved into a suburb where people assume you'll eventually have kids.

So the upshot is, I have to drive a long ways if I want to see a friend in-person. Which puts a chilling effect on making friends at all.

I often miss the college dormitories. Everyone is within a few years of age, nobody had children, many people had the same major or similar majors, and everyone was packed in close with no need to drive. But you can't treat a studio apartment as a real estate investment, so Real Adults don't want to live in a place like that.

> The obvious conclusion to this shift, which is already playing out, is that people minimise the amount of interaction with others and we all become lonelier.

Yeah, I don't like it either. But part of me thinks, it's also just becoming obvious how many people are not worth talking to.
These are weird stories.

I was curious what Katherine Jones, Lady Ranelagh, may've been known for, so checked out [their Wikipedia page](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Katherine_Jones,_Viscountess_R...).

The most substantial-looking claim was at the start of the "Science" section:

> Jones is known for her genius in medicine. In a letter to her brother, Lord Burlington, she described a friend of hers, Lady Clarendon, having “fits” and how she attended to her even when the doctors had given up on her. Jones used her own concoction and that seemed to be the only thing that helped Lady Clarendon.

What "concoction" did they invent? Following the source, there seems to be a [PDF dissertation about them](http://wrap.warwick.ac.uk/3146/1/WRAP_THESIS_DiMeo_2009.pdf), PDF-page 79 (printed-page 67):

> Lady Ranelagh’s critique of the doctors’ treatment plan continues in this letter, where she maintains that her Spirit of Hartshorn was the most effective treatment. She then says that the doctors agreed with her (though perhaps somewhat hesitantly) that her remedy was a suitable choice, and she takes the opportunity to suggest it to her brother in his treatment for his own sick wife, telling him where he can find it and recommending the appropriate dose.

Appears that the "spirit of hartshorn" Jones was using and advocated would today be known as smelling-salts, basically emitting ammonia that'd wake someone up (if I'm reading the history correctly).

It's really weird for Wikipedia to start off by saying that someone was "known for her genius in medicine", after reading a Nature.com page describing them as an "incomparable intellectual", only to then see the first actual example of what they did being use of some smelling-salt.
I wanted to comment directly on the page, but I didnt see a way to do so. I am not an assembly language programmer so some of this just glazed my eyes over - but I have to say anything about adventure OR pitfall is gold as far as I'm concerned. Thank you SO much for your article! I hope this ends up on archive.org so it never gets lost...
D doesn't try to "fix" C integer promotion/casts. It's because they aren't bad defaults.
As a bonus you can port code from C with less risk. Soon you'll be able to compile it directly.

I contributed to found the only discrepancy in D vs C code wrt integer (-byte would yield byte instead of int), and it was fixed so that they match exactly C _conventions_.
Exactly this. A chip running at 50hz would never be able to run a task 50 times per second when it's only executing 50 instructions per second.
With this arrogant posture, I would think of you as a dodged bullet tbh. Btw even though I'm not the original commenter, I agree with her sentiment. And English is not my first language.

Why is it so extraordinary to ask people to pay attention to what they are doing. Specially when going for something that supposedly interest them?

Imagine you are on your first date with that boy/girl that you DIE for. Would you take care of every detail ? Would you groom yourself, comb yourself even though you are not a barber or a stylist? Now THAT is showing interest.

> but you may be able and willing to accept less income in order to contribute to an organization that you believe in that isn't profiting off your labor.

But there are plenty of organizations profiting off of the dev’s labor. Why is it different just because those organizations are users and not their employer?
Ah. Yeah, that could be. I'd still definitely clarify that in the post if that were what they meant.
If I understood it correctly, they’re not talking about a chip literally running at 50Mhz. They’re talking about polling a sensor in a loop running on a 50Mhz timer. The processor doing that is certainly running at a much higher clock frequency
>in Finland there's large headlines about a major shortage of tech workers

same where i live, tons of headlines saying there's shortage, but in our case, the salaries are just horrible. not only that but when you have a job that pays well, they basically demand your life for the company.

it's much better to work as a contractor for foreign companies than working at local ones.
No one is immune to a breach. You're absolutely right. Which is why the response to the breach is what is so important.

NordVPN left the backdoor open themselves - they left a remote admin console enabled. Then, they proceeded to hold their silence for _six months_, before informing their customers... And take no responsibility. They struggled to even admit they got their dates wrong.

That kind of behaviour, and lack of transparency, is the problem. Not that a breach occurred.

you want anti-perspirant, not deodorant. Try Mitchum Unscented (It's for "women" but it's completely odourless, so who fucking cares). It's BY FAR the best deodorant I've ever found. As someone who used to suffer from serious BO; find a product that works, and learn to wash your clothes properly. Butyric acid is the enemy.
Damn, this is one of the more disappointing things I’ve read on HN. Everyone is just trying to exploit the system for a dollar, I get it that’s capitalism. It’s just kind of saddening to me, it’s like the social media infection spreading. Where you can’t really trust what you read because you have a fake author, hiring a maybe expert to write a book. Hell, that ghost writer may have developed a good algorithm for pulling together information for that book, or just copying and pasting from places. I guess I just have issues with the do whatever I can to earn a buck thing.
>but there are large amounts of diverse experts in various fields on here.

Yeah, and they mostly keep their mouths shut except to confirm what everyone is already saying because trying to correct the narrative or dispel a popularly held belief on a site with a voting mechanism is an exercise in futility. Nobody will read your comment when it's dead so why bother.

Chips have internal timers which can be configured programmatically so they emit hardware interrupt in specified time intervals. When the interrupt is emitted, CPU jumps to the method which executes the certain program. After that it goes idle, waiting for the next cycle.
Funny thing is that I specifically opted out of automated decision making, having been declined before. It wasn't a big deal, really. EU lenders are far warier of contract jobs than American ones.

Yes... though if one uses tabs, bulleted lists and the standard formatting; then it all works out well.

When tabs and spaces are mixed to try to align a non-monospace font, or right justification is done without using the proper tabstop - then it gets ugly and the formatting becomes less consistent.

However, I'll give a pass to that unless it is really clear that they didn't put any care into the formatting.

And yet, its things like bolding every instance of the word "Java" (I had one where Java in JavaScript was bolded, but not the Script). Or having "JavaScript", "Java script", and "javascript" on three consecutive lines. Or having every single word that was a technology bolded, even if it was one that wasn't applicable to the job description. Or having those words instead of bolded... be blue.

I can forgive a lot in lack of familiarity with the tool - but its the deliberate choices of formatting and deliberately overlooking things that the word processor is trying to help you fix (and it is right about) that make a resume move from the "too look at" stack to the "probably don't call back" stack.
