As I understood it, it means you can't look at the next insn before decoding the current one enough to know where the next one starts. Meanwhile, arm can decode insns in parallel.

Now I wonder why x64 can't re-encode the instructions: Put a flag somewhere that enables the new encoding, but keep the semantics. This would make costs for the switch low. There will be some trouble, e.g you can't use full 64bit values. But mostly it seems manageable.

Why There Are So Many Food Delivery Startups
I agree with the parent comment.

I understood what the problem your product was solving from the title of this Launch HN thread, but viewing the landing page, I think there's big room for improvement for how you explain that.

I think a few things would help:

- Revise your copy to speak more plainly. You're addressing folks working on many different parts of the product, but the language comes off as jargon. As a starting point, I think the title of this thread is way clearer

"Keep product text in sync from design to production" -- Makes sense

"manage and componentize the words across their product from design to production." -- I have no idea what that means

- Replace all of the screenshots and graphics. I see this done a lot, where screenshots are shown and the reader is supposed to understand what's happening, but is not often effective, because they don't understand the context for the screenshots, and it's not clear what part of the screenshot they should be focusing on. I would suggest you provide a very simple clear animation that demonstrates the "magic" behind your application. If it's syncing copy across many different tools and stages of the product, show that magic happening. In other words, if a reader saw nothing but this graphic/animation would they understand what your product is offering them? The demo video is not what I'm referring to, although it is helpful and should remain on the page, maybe even move it up a bit.
There's a lot of hand-waving and unrealistic beliefs in this piece with regard to costs. For example:

"
O’Toole looks at the most expensive few lines possible:

Britain’s 345‐ mile London–Scotland HS2 high‐ speed rail line was originally projected to cost £32.7 billion (about $123 million per mile) and is currently expected to cost £106 billion ($400 million per mile).

International comparisons of high-speed rail costs exist, and Britain’s costs are by far the worst.
"

It looks as if California will exceed that cost by quite a bit for it's equivalent length HSR project, if and when it's ever completed.

And how does this square with the current reality of the California project costs (estimated to be over $100M, even though it's over a decade for completion, and the budget has already grown >2.5x)

"
the official Obama-era crayon, at 20,000 km, would be $500 billion at tunnel-free European costs, or maybe $600 billion with 5% tunneling
"

So we're gonna do the rest of the 19,400 km for only $500bn, when the most recent 600km is costing $100bn?
I really like the part where this is about using government money for "out-competing, out-innovating, outgrowing communist China".
> Look at rear view cameras [...] have proven to greatly enhance the safety of pedestrians.

Which is sort of the point I think you're missing: the driver nag doesn't seem to enhance safety much at all. In fact I don't think we have a single known accident (now that everyone seems to be backing off from assumptions about that Texas crash) where someone defeated a Tesla driver nag and got into a crash a human driver would have prevented.

Everyone should agree that we should demand proven safety features be implemented broadly.

The problem is that people seem to be arguing the converse: that because Tesla has this feature, it must mean that autopilot is UNsafe. And that just doesn't seem to be the case.
If you have already have a track dedicated to the ground-effect airplane, seems to me that it'd always be more cost effective to build a railroad on that track and move more people. The track is the hard part.

Ground-effect vehicles might make sense over water, though, building effectively a very fast ferry. There's a startup from the last YC Batch trying it.

I wished the movie dwelled longer on those subjects though.
Yes, localization has been on the roadmap from the very beginning! As a first step, we'll be launching the ability to create "variants" of text (ie. for each language translation) in Ditto next week. This way, teams will be able to add translations to text and view it in their mockups, without having to manually mock up each language for every screen. These variants will also be available to fetch via our API/CLI.

In the future, we plan to build on top of this and provide more localization-specific features -- things like translation memory and machine translation (for that initial pass).
Not to be dismissive, but either your projects have very simple UI or you don't iterate or experiment with different designs.
Not only is it "not far off" it's locally higher. Ohio is more densely populated than Spain. They even both have a city called Toledo. The difference is the smaller city in Spain has a high-speed rail link to the capital with 6 trains per day, while the larger city in Ohio has only two conventional trains per day, neither of which serve the nearest city, Detroit, only 60 miles away.

In any sensible universe, the major cities of Ohio would be connected to each other, Detroit, Chicago, and Pittsburgh by high-speed rail.
It’s simply matching the c86 float to int conversion, because JS specifies that behavior in the spec - all this instruction does is even the playing field it isn’t some magic instruction that does more than x86 does.

At a logic level there are no changes to the expensive part of rounding, only changes to the overflow values in the result.
The options offer with no percentage ("we're giving you a very generous 80,000 options"), always blows my mind!!! And often even without a strike price!

Different things are made different so that people looking for different things can have the thing they want. Yeah, 5000 years ago we only had berries, animals we could catch, and plants we could grow. Today, in the future, we can have so many more things and we don't have to settle for what just happens to be available.

> So many people dont get it. Its a movie, not a physics book readout.

Movies used to be in black and white and without sound. So many people don't get it.

Movies used to be made where the actors were all familiar with stage performance techniques and didn't know how to perform for a camera. So many people don't get it.

Movies used to have really wooden camera shots because the camera weighted 500 pounds. So many people don't get it.

> Who cares? Just enjoy the movie. If you can't - read a physics book.

Somebody has a preference that you don't share, but instead of just ignoring them you had to tell them that they're wrong. Without any proof. And while enjoying movie improvements that have been going on for over a century.

That person just wants movies to be better. If you think that movies shouldn't be better why don't you go back to watching black and white moving pictures?
Is there a favored alternative to the 200 f/2? (Any manufacturer). Was just thinking of buying one.
It's also the 9 millionth sf movie/series about exploring an unknown frontier and finding your father there. I have a feeling these are just wish-fulfilment portraits of the mental state of a certain type of high-achieving dude i.e. succeeding in something that no other humans have yet, and finally seeing daddy's approval for the first time.
IMHO that was a fatal weakness to both the book and movie

Spoiler Alert

The book went further by accusing Arroway of engineering a fraud instead of the "you want us to have faith" bit from the movie. But that made no sense in the context of the story. The radio signal unequivocally came from Vega and the message contained instructions for technology completely unknown on Earth. It made no sense to dispute that contact was made and something happened.
It’s actually “convert float to int the way x86 does it because js specified that behavior”

This seems great but I find that one of the hardest things for a beginner is setting up the environment. A chapter on that would be nice for a beginner.

Edit: I guess this would constitute as more of a tutorial of insert IDE here. But even picking one like VS Code would go some distance toward learning the full scope.
Thanks for the reply. You are right that I conflated wealth with money. For a broad definition of wealth I think I can agree with you then.

As for n95, perhaps it was different in US, but in Poland there was no way I could find one in March. You couldn’t find them online anywhere regardless of price, and when I asked around, nobody had them available. I honestly wonder where could I make such an offer online - craigslist?

As for Titanic, agree.

The idea isn't new.

It was even featured on HN a few days ago:

> Google gets away with this a lot

I think the point seen here is really that if the standards org doesn't impact the browsers and the browser in question has greater than 60% market share then that browser is the standards org and the W3C doesn't matter. Who is going to harm Google? How would the W3C enforce their standards? If most of your users are on Chrome and Chrome sets the feature set rather than the W3C, why wouldn't you just build to Chrome?
The point being that Zig improves very little regarding that, because it is based on the same kind of tooling.
That seems unbelievably high
I think "y'all" is becoming more common at least in part out of an interest to avoid "you guys," which people perceive to be overly gendered. I notice (in my own speech and others') "folks" replacing "guys" in other contexts, for the same reason. The fact that both make everyone sound a little more casual, and a little more southern, is probably mostly a side effect -- general American English just doesn't have obvious gender-neutral words to fill those semantic functions.
Here's an analysis of the CAPS system's safety record: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zT58pzY41wA (contains some good footage of an SR22 parachuting into the ocean, and into the ground).

This is a good overview on the survivability of water landings: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0LwGYBBhTss. I haven't watched the video recently but I think even a 172 that cartwheels after landing has a pretty good survivability rate, something like 90%. Parachute is a nice to have, of course.
I've often thought about this.

Currently, our sole way of manipulating spacetime is by cramming a heck of a lot of matter in one spot, which is to say that we don't really do much of it. Any way short of crushing down mountainsful of matter into a thimble would necessarily be more complex, with more moving parts. I can only think that rotation would come into play, and if one dimension is good, three would have to be better if you want to shred spacetime.

I don't think it's doable but in the sense that you want something to visually convey it, it may as well be the equivalent of lightning to stand in for electricity.
The Case for Inbox Infinity
I don't mean for it to be misleading, and I do agree with you. There is always a tradeoff between more stops and higher speeds, and if you're building high speed rail you do need to make different tradeoffs than commuter rail.

That being said, I think even people that agree with that statement would still be surprised at the kinds of stops that successful systems make. For example, Tokaido Shinkansen, the most financially successful line in the world, makes stops in Fuji (pop. 245k), Odawara(195k), Anjo (188k), Kakegawa (117k), Nakamura-Ku (135k), Mishima (110k), Hashima (68k), Maibara (38k), and Atami (37k). There are three services: all-stop, skip-stop, and non-stop. The fastest non-stop service is about an 1:40 faster than the all-stop service, and 1:00 faster than the skip stop service. But most terminal-to-terminal customers still take the skip stop service because it has the highest frequency...enough to negate the speed advantage of non-stop service in most cases.

When the CAHSR proposal first came out, the phrase "cow towns like Merced" was practically a meme. People were laughing at the stop in Gilroy, saying things like "why? so we can buy garlic on our way to LA?". Most people even thought that stops in secondary cities like Fresno and Bakersfield were entirely unnecessary. But the experts who wrote the report (who are fairly well regarded, btw) chose those stops for a reason: they are rural minihubs that aggregate a lot of traffic volume in areas that are too far from larger cities.

In the words of an operations researcher I once worked with: with HSR, top speed is what sells the service, but acceleration is what makes the money. Acceleration minimizes the time loss from making more stops, and more stops means more money.
Utilities aren't regulated to function like "non-monopolies," generally. They're regulated because (ATT, at least) they were seen as inevitable "natural" monopolies.

There really isn't one "theory of monopolies" that is useful in all times and places. Social Media is not Telecom or electricity. Amazon is not a railroad.

Trustbusting is an anti-monopoly strategy, and it doesn't really work in spaces where monopoly is unavoidable.
A dev in my department is doing a POC to demonstrate the relationship between the quantifiable readability (albeit in Japanese) of a company’s securities filings and that company’s financial performance. That project, and the nngroup link you kindly shared make me think readability is a legitimately important consideration when designing a landing page as the OP is suggesting.
Even though I've more or less zero IE11 users on Upstract, I still make sure that everything renders and basically works on it — I think this defensive, vanilla, bare-metal, no-gimmicks mindset creates better and simpler products — in spirit of what old-school Web tech was about.

(Unless you're building something like Figma of course).
If you (as a site owner) care about HSTS, you'll likely get your site included in the preload list, which closes the other device loophole for the most part. (There certainly are some devices with browsers that don't get updates and/or don't do HSTS preload, but can't fix everyone).
I mean they acquired PA more than a decade ago now, and have released multiple new generations of chips since then, how long do we keep saying PA is the source of all the performance?
Regardless of the merit of this particular fine, what happens when every country realizes they can just arbitrarily fine huge international companies to fund their countries?

In theory all 50 countries that Google has offices could fine them $100M - $10B based on whatever their laws are at the time, regardless of how ridiculous the laws are. It doesn't even have to be truly bad stuff. It could be something like, a country doesn't like that Google didn't censor something worldwide.

It seems like we need a more centralized way to deal with this.
The rules for the basic notation are really simple. It's just basically a grid (visualize a spreadsheet), where each line is a row and each word is a cell. Indent a line to indicate a child node/row.

I got one of these and was dumb to accept because the finance department claimed the offer was legit.

I left and it took another 6 months to do the deal and the valuation was lower than expected.

This is a plan that is much worse for employees, being presented as if it were better. At least be honest about feeling like you are paying employees too much equity up front and want to pay them less.
I remember seeing some Internet post a couple of decades ago where someone asserted that the goal of ATC was to prevent midair collisions and that U.S. ATC had met this goal perfectly, with no midair collisions between aircraft that were under the control of ATC at the time.

I think the claim was qualified in some way like "collision between civilian flights that were both flying an ATC-assigned clearance at the time". (So some kinds of flights and some kinds of airspace don't require ATC clearance, and if one of them were involved in a collision, it wouldn't be ATC's responsibility, in some sense.)

My question at the moment is: is this claim plausible if you qualify or restrict it enough? Do you have to tack on additional conditions?

Is there any useful sense in which this collision was a first for U.S. aviation history?
I've been eagerly anticipating this, and am very pleasantly surprised by the price. Excited to have pre-ordered in batch #1 :)
This seems like it will just result in those who can be underpaid being hired at lower levels. If a hiring manager really wants someone and they can't pay them more, they can hire them at a higher level.

If decisions are made by the higher-leveled ICs, then it seems like even more decisions will be made by white men under this culture.
Maybe more feedback than questions, although if there are roadmap items that would address these it'd be good to know! I'm really excited about this — besides repairability, I think the USB-C expansion cards are great, and a really neat solution to a tricky problem. I love the idea of never having to carry a USB-C dongle ever again, particularly when travelling.

The blocker that is stopping me ordering this today (besides being in Canada) is:

1. The display. I've spent the last several years using laptops with higher resolution displays (either Macbook Pros or, more recently, a 4k Dell XPS 13), and honestly, I'm not going back. It's a shame that the one thing that doesn't seem to be upgradeable right now is the screen configuration. (I realise that the Framework's display isn't exactly low-res, but it feels like it's going to be in an uncanny valley of not quite HiDPI/Retina.)

Beyond that, other things I wish were different (or at least clearer), but which aren't blockers:

1. Like other commenters, I don't use Windows, and I don't particularly want to pay for a Windows licence.
2. There's no mention I can see on the product page of how many external displays are supported, and in what configurations, and that's important to me.
3. I'd probably be more comfortable if some late pre-production units had made it to independent reviewers for judging things like battery life and the display. (I'd love to see an Anandtech breakdown of a Framework!)
Metamon?
Thank you very much for what you build. It's amazing, and will be the perfect replacement for my aging laptop.

The only thing missing for me is an ethernet port (which I need to connect to the internal network at work). Do you have any plan to add it as an extension card ? If no, any technical reasons why not ?
I feel that is not entirely clear how you enable this workflow that keeps all this text dependencies at sync. The collaborative part makes sense. But what's more important about this tool is explained with a somewhat vague graphic (https://uploads-ssl.webflow.com/5fb84e8c68f67b29553103fa/604...)

I think it would be more useful to see an explanation that showcases how this text components sync across all tools and how that allows you to always have a single source of truth for your text.

I think another valuable thing to showcase is to showcase the features of this solution by persona. What do you get from this as a writer, designer, PM, developer... That's extremely important IMO. If you don't do this, it's pretty hard to relate to this problem and solution.

Verbalizing the problem in the communication is particularly important. I know this is a problem many cross-functional team have but it's a very discrete problem. It's easy to familiarize and relate to this problem if you explain it.

Thanks! We actually do have a clear keyboard design (https://youtu.be/XFrJcjCbCA8?t=1005) which we'll be making available later this summer. We've prototyped a transparent bezel too, but aren't happy with the quality on it just yet. That is something we'd love to make available too though.
When Apple came out with flat keyboards (~2007/2008?) the entire industry copied the trend.

The tops of the keys are flat, giving very little "context" to your fingers for accurate typing. It is hard to find the center or edges of the keys, which would be easier on sculpted keys which are concave and conform to your fingers.

Do manufacturers even make keyboards like that for laptops anymore?
WeWork. haha.
