Absolutely agreed. A program without telemetry being possible at all is not one that I need to worry about enabling it behind my back. Imagine if /bin/bash had optional telemetry. Suddenly I'd need a way to ensure that telemetry is never enabled. In order to make sure that no confidential data are leaked, I'd need to have that setting always be visible, perhaps by adding it to my $PS1. I'd need to make a mental habit of checking that setting before executing any command that contains confidential data. All that additional overhead as a result of telemetry being an option at all.

There are a couple different stages on the sliding scale of telemetry, which have huge effects in the amount of privacy being sacrificed on the part of the user. However, the biggest technical hurdle is in that very first step, from "No telemetry is possible" to "telemetry is possible". Every single step after that is small and incremental, easily enabled with minimal effort.

* No telemetry is possible.

* Telemetry is possible, but requires searching in a menu to enable.

* Telemetry is possible, and has a single opt-in popup, path of least resistance is to disable telemetry. (e.g. An unchecked box that enables telemetry, and a "Continue" button. The easiest path is to ignore the box and just click continue.)

* Telemetry is possible, and has a single yes/no popup, both accept/decline are equally easy to select.

* Telemetry is possible, and has a single opt-out popup, path of lease resistance is to enable telemetry. (e.g. Same as the opt-in popup, but with the box defaulting to being checked.) This is the level that starts to raise red flags for me, and to make me feel uncomfortable with it.

* Telemetry is possible, and has several nag screens. These may re-occur each time you start the software, or re-occur sporadically. These may have the euphemistic option "Not Now", a newspeak phrase that prevents me from saying "No" entirely.

* Telemetry is mandatory, but can be blocked at the router level. Any software here and above is spyware, and should be treated as such.

* Telemetry is mandatory, and software refuses to run without a server connection.

They need to add iterator versions of the built-ins. At that point, not only this, but a ton of other efficiency issues go away. At present, chaining lodash functions together will integrate once, so I’d recommend using them to save time and memory.
Visula studio is also teeming with telemetry, though.
Can you shed more light on this? Do you mean in terms of beam forming? And other radio resource management complexities that arise from it?

I worked in 5G mmWave on the UE side so can imagine some of the scheduling complexity. However for a basic mmW stack, like one to be implemented by OAI or srsRAN would likely scale the problem down to something more basic

Different people have wildly different definition of introvert vs extrovert as well.

I find that "gets energy from interaction vs lose energy from interaction" is more productive than "shy vs loud".

I was visibly shy for first two decades of my life; I look (and am) a "people person" for the last two decades and most recent friends/colleagues wouldn't know I'm an introvert; and I'm doing reasonably well in people-manager role. But whereas after a hard day my sister wants to go out and party and this will rejuvenate her, after a hard day I want... nay, need, some "me time" - alone with book or computer or tv or music to recharge. I'm stereotypically the first person to leave a party of my best friends - I love them, I love our time together, but at some point I had enough input and need to depart.

My point is: I think "introvert" is a defining characteristic of me; but "have people skills" is just that - skills. I don't think I'll ever change whether I gain or lose energy from social interactions; that seems a pretty built-in aspect of my personality. But I can and did tremendously change how I actually interact with people - it may come easy to some, harder to others, and seemingly impossible to yet others, but it is in principle a learnable, acquirable skill.

So, "6% of Business executives think introverts have people skills needed" makes me think this is an accidentally tautology - I'm pretty sure they mentally have defined "introverts" as "those with poor people skills", and that's not I think the most accurate definition.
That's what I wondered. Presumably it just means the ship can be even more off course / incorrectly aligned to the channel before it crashes?

Edit: maybe there is a curve in the canal and the radius of the curve limits the length of ship for a given width. Widening it at the curve would let you build longer...
Pork bellies have inherent value, cryptocurrency has no inherent value.
That sounds more like a language quirk. For example, gas does not refer to a state of matter, it refers to a liquid fuel used in cars.

Calculus doesn't refer to categories of calculations, it refers to infinitesimal calculus.

America doesn't refer to the combination of both South and North America, it refers to a specific country in North America called the "United States of America".

In your case they simply may have decided to just drop the "South" from "South Africa".

I don't understand the logic behind these abbreviations so I will never understand why someone would refer to a single African country by "Africa" as a whole, but apparently that is what some Americans do or at least it sounds believable when you consider the 3 examples I have mentioned above.

So the newer one on the front page just got flagged, I guess because of this one? I missed it though and thought this was interesting, so transplanting my comment:

Neat piece, and interesting to start to see some numbers attached to Apple working on it. The disruption that wearable displays will bring has been so obvious for 5-10 years now that I've been assuming that of course Apple and other players just have to see it coming, but established businesses have managed to be caught off guard plenty of times before or refused to kill their existing cash cows to go after the future. Wearable displays will ultimately mean the end of the iPhone (and other form factors) in the same way the iPhone ended the iPod, and Apple in particular is heavily dependent on the stuff that will become obsolete. They're in principle in a good place to navigate it, but the massive investment is certainly necessary and justified anyway.

It is a bit worrying though that the vertical integration might get even worse. There is no inherent reason there shouldn't be industry standards for at least some lowest common denominator of generalized screen replacement, but so far we're seeing a lot of silos which stinks. It's sobering how much of the openness and standardization of the PC industry essentially came down to luck and certain moments in history. It'll take real work to bring that through this next shift.
CMOS process scaling is running out of steam which is generally going to make performance/capacity/etc. improvements in things dependent on semiconductors increasingly difficult.

Building a network that has any sort of stickiness still require connecting with people one-on-one. And forming a connection that triggers an empathy/trust response still requires socializing with people. And in my experience Zoom can be even more draining to talk to people on than an in person meeting.

>>"My own interpretation is that introverts focus on getting things done,"

I think there's an implicit unstated assumption here of what "getting things done" means.

When I was a "individual contributor" / "Subject matter expert" for most of my career, that indeed may have meant sitting down alone and coding / configuring / etc.

In a leadership role now, "getting things done" for my role is now 100% about engaging with other people, supporting them, understanding them, motivating them, guiding them (in as subtle and non-invasive and stealth method as manageable:). This has been a big hurdle / growth opportunity for me as an introvert, but also gave me a ton of new perspectives I haven't had first two decades of my work.

> What's the general process for proving to yourself that your hand-coded vectorization produces the same output and is faster than a more straightforward implementation?

I spent the first few months of this year doing exactly that for a memmem implementation: https://users.rust-lang.org/t/memchr-2-4-now-has-an-implemen...

In short, I:

* Ensure I have a non-vector implementation.

* Define a large suite of benchmarks, and ensure that I test the non-vector implementation: https://github.com/BurntSushi/memchr/tree/master/bench

* Have a thorough testing strategy, including hand written tests, exhaustive tests, property based tests and fuzzing: https://github.com/BurntSushi/memchr#testing-strategy

> Yet it would seem that this generally doesn't exist or at least there's no standard way to do it

In the context of hand writing explicit vectorized code, it's not that hard to make sure there's a way to disable the vectorized path. The issue in the OP is that there's no standard way to do that for everything everywhere. While having such a standard way to do it would be useful for testing and reduce some friction in the process, it's not a Huge Deal.

> Do people generally assume it's going to be faster and just jump into the vectorized stuff and treat that as the gold standard with no plan for reversing or revisiting that decision later? Seems like a good bet in the short term, but maybe a bad bet in the long term.

No? Vectorization usually requires some kind of platform or ISA extension specific stuff. So if you have it, it's usually conditional and there's usually a "slow" path.

In many cases, the perf benefits of vectorization are really really really clear.

> Or is this all secretly a plot by chip manufacturers to create lock-in by writing fast but platform specific libraries?

No? There do exist various SIMD abstractions that present a common interface to vector instructions across many targets. In cases where I can use that, once std::simd is a thing in Rust, I will definitely do so. But the SIMD abstractions generally won't expose everything---just the things in common across targets.
I’ve always heard premature optimization used to refer to convoluted, harder to use and understand techniques that trade lots of developer time for extra performance.

In this case, we’re talking about a single import and almost identical API while also gaining access to tons of additional and more advanced functions that save time too. It hardly seems comparable.
> Denying this is delusional

But the delusion is a useful one which boosts reproductive success, presumably because humans take a long time to become independent, so its absence is creepy.

Here is my take: today business is frequently about doing something that brings no benefit to the people at all (just take these 'startups' who exploit nothing but people's gullibility and/or addiction), that should give introverts an edge, because we gradually grow to be ignorant of other people's feelings for our poor ability to read other's emotional reactions in everyday's life. Because of this natural everyday feedback loop being weaker, we are less impacted by conscience, so in the one-sided, cynical online business world of today, we get an edge over others.

If you judge technologies based on a single anecdote you've heard on the internet then I don't think this conversation serves any purpose. I don't know what bone you have to pick with any technology other than React, but achieving declarative DOM manipulation pre-React was as simple as `(state) => $('<div>').innerText(state.message)` with the plain old jQuery. That was definitely easier than learning React, and by building a component structure with vanilla javascript functions, you could have all the functionality and expressiveness of JSX without a compile step or external libraries.

Of course this would cause problems that I've described in this thread before (scroll/form state resets, performance problems etc.), so the VDOM was the missing piece of the puzzle. Overall the concept of declarative UI was incredibly simple and predated React, but the VDOM was a great thing that solved the problems people were having with declarative DOM manipulation. If React had shipped just with the VDOM implementation, it wouldn't have needed to expand into a full-fledged framework and introduce a bunch of band-aids on top it. React deservedly skyrocketed, and the VDOM was an incredible thing to introduce at the time, but every part of React is quickly becoming outdated as more FP concepts from the past are introduced into the mainstream.

So all in all, React shaked things up in a good way, and finally people are ready to move on to make their apps actually reactive and taking a serious look on things that have been "academic" before.
Both options are not very likely to succeed and I am being generous here.
I would not speak for Japan. Most Japanese I've met and talked to think that on balance having the US troops there is MUCH better than the alternative. The only Japanese I'm aware of where a significant minority are against the US presence is in Okinawa where US bases occupy double digit percentages of the available land.
Please consider creating a write up about this. As someone that had very little knowledge about the hardware design space I'd love to learn more about it and see how Nim solves some problems there :)

Creating a CRUD website is supposed to be pretty fundamental, right? And how do I have individual user sessions with logins that show different content to different users? That seems, if not basic, fundamental to at least know how to do.

Should I hand-type static HTML to do this? Is that what modern web developers typically do? Will learning HTML, CSS, and JS teach me how to use a backend? Which backend language should I pick? Should I use a database? Which one? Or should I use AWS? Is all I need HTML, CSS, and JS?

PHP, is that a good backend starting point? That seems to be pretty fundamental, since over half of all websites use it. A LAMP stack, right? No? What about Python? Ruby? C? Rust? Arc? Elm?

Should I use Node? If so, what is the typical Node setup?

Should I use webassembly? That's a fundamental and new browser technology.

How do I compress and minify code and images to be served? A makefile, right? That's the typical way to build things in my software world.

Right, the above suggestion might work with coordination, where AMD and NVIDIA both bullied a publisher. But if people want to play a game and NVIDIA makes it work great, despite software bugs, and AMD writes a blog post, I think it's pretty reasonable to say "maybe next time I'll buy NVIDIA."

Also I don't think developers would be quite so receptive. It works on every card that exists in the market today, that's kinda your problem if your unreleased chip breaks this is a fairly good argument.

Isn't that exactly what suezmax means? SuezBarely?

If you ask for a Xm long ship, you get an Xm long ship. That's not a design flaw because it crashes more easily than a smaller ship when not maintained/piloted properly...

Edit: if the Suez officials are serious about this, they should limit the size of vessels to the current maximum.
I don't need to be an expert in security to listen to my security person explain an issue that needs to be fixed. It does make it easier to empathize because I've been in the code trenches before, but it's certainly not required for a good leader.

A good leader has many traits, and almost all of them start with communication.

Like technology, leadership can also be learned. The downside of learning good leadership, is then you see all the bad leadership that stands out. For example, blaming someone else or otherwise not taking ownership of a mistake is bad at any level, but really the sign of a terrible leader.
But there's an obvious solution to that: more steel.

Still, a far more effective solution would be increase width and draught likewise to reach your target volume. And that's where we're back at ${canal}max classes (locks also impose a length limit but I'd assume that those are much easier to adapt than width/depth).

If Suez Canal authorities are serious about trying to prevent future Ever Given incidents (how serious they are likely depends on the exact outcome of the ongoing liability fights) they should keep some parts of the canal at the existing profile (locks perhaps?) to prevent suezmax 2.0 (or whatever their current version+1 is)

Ask HN: What weapons are the Israels using
Watching the Israelis knocking down those tower blocks in Gaza, I'm really curious about what weapons they are using to do it with? If those are steel-frame buildings then it should take major weapons, incredibly accurately targeted to destroy them. But perhaps they are not steel-framed?

This is the best source so far I have found on the attacks:

https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2021/5/13/lost-in-blink-of-an-eye-gaza-high-rise-towers-targeted-by-israel

Does anyone have better info? And could such weapons be used against more sophisticated buildings, such as in Europe or the US?

It’s not a reason to, but it might be a motivation. Unfortunately the technology is well ahead of the law, which is the perfect storm for punishing honesty. The US is well ahead of the rest of the world in enforcement. But also unfortunately, this means that the costs and risks of participation in this new financial system is massively greater for US citizens.

There is some international pressure for other countries to tax crypto trades instead of just fiat gains. Indonesia and Korea are considering it. France has clarified that they will not. Switzerland doesn’t tax capital gains at all. The differences between countries will unfortunately have consequences for which economies and citizens lead or get left behind - unless it’s all bollocks and national fiat with dollar reserve is the future.
Frankly, you can't have driven in places that use roundabouts much, because in practice these are not problems. Asymmetric flow isn't a problem if there are occasional vehicles which force the dominant flow to give way. In rare situations it is beneficial to put a traffic light on the dominant flow entrance to break it up. Blocked exits are rarely a problem for other exits on multilane roundabouts, and rarely more of a problem that blocking the box on an intersection with lights -- it's all about the attitude of drivers.
