One anecdote and a thread about semi-fictional action movies about Brazilian Special Police Operators? Not exactly the strongest rebuttal.

And a quick search reveals:

>he Mexican government said fuel theft — huachicol as it is known in Spanish — decreased from about 60,000 barrels per day in 2018 to about 11,000 a day in 2019, with estimated savings of $6 billion.

> According to Pemex, fuel theft averaged about 4,440 barrels per day in 2020.

https://www.freightwaves.com/news/despite-some-successes-mex...

I have no idea how good the source is, but there's just absolutely no way black market fuel sales could ever generate the same amount of revenue.

> On 2 July state-owned oil firm Pemex reported a 114 per cent year-on-year increase in illegal tapping during the first four months of 2020, during which authorities recovered 9,291,986 litres of stolen fuel with a commercial value of MXN157m (around US$7m).

10,000,000 only has a commercial value of $7m. Imagine the logistics of scaling that kind of operation.

AFAIK (one of the) the main reason for the copyright requirements is so that the GNU project can update the license, when a new version of the GPL is released, fixing loopholes or other issues in older versions. I am weary of dropping the copyright assignment, because issues like Tivoization could always pop up without anyone anticipating it, and even have contributors actively resisting the updates to fix these issues.

(Edit: What I also came to think of is that GCC recently positioned itself in opposition to the FSF because of the "Stallman-Controversy". Is this a kind of retaliation on their part?)

>no one makes a point of asking (if that matters to you).

Actually it does kind of annoy me when I just drink water that people will ask all the time. My go to has been seltzer + lime + wedge because I do like to have some taste, and it does look cocktail-ish.
on the point of the GC being a good thing to have, this is true, but not when your main objective is to replace C++, C++ key advantage being RAII deterministic manual memory management

You cant replace C++ with GC language, even 10 years ago this should have been evident to a seasoned developers such as Walter Bright and Andrei Alexandrescu

Sometimes great developers are bad product managers

Anyway, with Rust and Go, D have no where to go, I don't think it should be fixed to appeal to a wider user base, the only good strategic move they can do today, it make it better for the current user base, they have few big users, they should focus on them and the language will fade once those users move on to something else
If you want to intuitively understand why this particular 4D construction is the right representation of a 3D rotation, then I highly recommend 3blue1brown's explorable interactive video series on the topic:

Sorry dang. I appreciate the work you do keeping HN on point, so you have my personal thanks for that. I suspect the job is getting harder and I don’t want to contribute to the problem.

I’ve been flagged twice now in one day. I’m not sure if my comments have become less substantive over time, or if the world has. But after ten years of commenting on here, I think the time has come for me to find a new hobby.

I just read your comment on derasterize: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25997236

> Based on your project I inferred that adding more matches seems to add more resolution and yeah, outputs are looking even nicer now. I updated the repo!

This is the right approach, but there's a combinatory explosion when computing the matches: you want to select a subset of shapes that in practice are more often right, to save on the matching computation time.

Also, when you are operating with time constraints (ex: video to text), keeping the FPS rate is often more important that the accuracy, as the human eye does a lot of interpolation.

Having different subsets of different sizes and a command-line toggle between them seems like the simpler approach to support multiple uses.

> I also used shapes which are less sharp rather than "perfect match".

Selecting some "less sharp" glyphs is a very daring and unique idea: in retrospect, it should help the bad cases by adding some "blur".

I really like you idea!

Would you be interested in a collaboration to inspect fonts and select glyphs based on 1) their availability (ascii>ansi>unicode) 2) their usefulness (by defining some subsets)

It seems reasonable to me (for a compose-in-prod setup). The standard setup (at least for Rails, in my experience) is that the web server and background job processor will have the same dependencies and nearly identical configuration. Until the app has gone off the rails and I really do need to have the server and worker diverge, this approach seems like less to worry about than maintaining multiple images and duplicated but 98% identical container definitions.
Sourcegraph (https://sourcegraph.com) | Software Engineer (frontend, backend, security), Product Manager, Director of Engineering, Director of Product | ALL REMOTE

Our mission at Sourcegraph is to make it so that everyone can code. Software has driven a lot of technological innovation, and yet today, only a small fraction of the world can contribute to this progress by writing code. We believe that enabling more people to code will create economic opportunity across the world and will drive better and faster technological progress that benefits everyone.

The problem developers face today is that the amount, complexity, and value of code is increasing quickly, and it is hard to keep up. We call this problem Big Code. Sourcegraph helps developers at our customers and in open source, find code, understand code, and automate changes to that code at scale in massive codebases.

It’s an exciting time to join because our business is growing rapidly (4x revenue growth last year with zero customer churn) and our $50m Series C from Sequoia has given us the opportunity to make these big ambitious bets while being fiscally responsible.

We are an equal opportunity workplace and our all-remote team is spread across the world. We embrace diversity and welcome people from all backgrounds and communities.

Transparency is a core value of ours and you can learn more about how we operate by reading our handbook: https://about.sourcegraph.com/handbook.

The PC (5150) wasn't a "real" IBM design, but was developed externally. Even more so, IBM was quite cautious to not put their more valuable assets on risk by this "small" office machine (a strategy, which eventually came to nothing with the advent of the i386 generation). So there wasn't much "trickle-down" and the 3270 stuff was still dedicated to "genuine" IBM assets. You couldn't even run a 3270 terminal emulation. This required an expensive extra card or later a special XT model. – Just consider this: the 5150 was actually some sort of plan B, where plan A would have been to acquire Atari and sell (a possible somewhat improved version of) the Atari 800 as the IBM PC (there are photos of prototypes for the repackaged design by Bill Lowe [1]). Which may also shed some light on what the original specs for the 5150 may have looked like.

>> For every gimbal in reality there is an actual YawPitchRoll (YPR) that was executed to achieve that orientation. AS soon as you convert that real YPR into a Quaternion you lose the YPR that was needed to achieve that orienation.

I would say you obscure it. You can certainly calculate it from the 4 quaternion parameters.

SolveSpace (Free CAD software) can be used to design assemblies and mechanisms from a set of parts with constraints. You can certainly build a gimbal with it by constraining the pieces. If you do it correctly, it will be possible to re-orient the final 3DoF part and the constraint solver will solve for the angles (assuming you built it that way).

Internally we treat all object orientations as quaternions, so this would just be using the algebraic constraint solver to find the angles. In practice there will be closed form solutions - with problems at gimbal lock.
I feel like 20 years ago we would have complimented them for such an ingenious solution to backup network capability for security related devices.

I don't love the lack of consent involved, but the concerns are way overblown here.

We take all of the security critical information and then alert on what's important, generate reports, show cool dashboards, and simplify demonstrating compliance to their regulators and auditors.

I got my job here through an HN Who's Hiring post 5 years ago, and I love working here. Strong engineering culture - weekly hour 'topic sync' to share knowledge, minimal meetings, flexible hours/wfh, happy customers that give good feedback, and interesting problems to solve. Our engineering team has been fully remote for COVID and we are conducting interviews remotely, but we are just now starting to open up the office for those who are vaccinated and wish to come in.

For Devops, we are looking to add a SRE to improve our bus factor, help manage our Elasticsearch cluster hosted on AWS, use Terraform and Chef to keep our Java microservice architecture happy, and otherwise make our systems run smoothly and securely. Our stack includes AWS, Elasticsearch, Terraform, Chef, Sensu, InfluxDB, Postgresql, and Phabricator. Ideal candidates will have some experience in several of these and be good at grokking docs to quickly get up to speed on the ones they haven't used.

For Full stack engineers, we use AngularJS/Angular (upgrade in progress), Typescript, Java 11, PostgreSQL, Elasticsearch, and we're built on AWS. Our interview loop is one or two ~1-hour phone screenings, followed by a ~4 hours video call - and we've designed it to approximate realistic day-to-day coding and code review (no algorithm riddles).

For Data Engineer, we are looking for experienced data engineers to build the data layer and support the delivery of machine learning-driven products. This is a unique opportunity to join a team of creative and passionate individuals committed to bringing ML to DefenseStorm products.

"extend the low-bandwidth working range of devices to help find pets or valuables with Tile trackers, and help devices stay online even if they are outside the range of their home wifi"

Seems like a genuine customer problem. If you want to set up smart lights through your back yard, or a smart sensor at the edge of your driver, they might not have WiFi connectivity to the rest of your house.

Hence the Sidewalk metaphor - a mesh network allows the devices to hop access from one another.

There is also a pretty detailed Privacy/Security Whitepaper and it's important to point out this before any alarmist "Amazon is spying on you!" pearl clutching: https://m.media-amazon.com/images/G/01/sidewalk/final_privac...
1. Latency ( One layer ) is the same, as updated in the article.

2. You will still ( for now ) need L3 Cache on the Chiplet where you have layers of SRAM on top.

> Users can disable Sidewalk in the settings section of the Alexa or Ring apps, but have until 8 June to do so. After that, if they have taken no action, the network will be turned on and their devices will become “Sidewalk Bridges”.

Wait so what if a user buys Alexa after June 8? Are they automatically enrolled into this mass wireless sharing program with no way out?
We need to ban all assault computers with more than 8 CPUs now. Think of the subsidiaries, er, children!!!

Why Americans drink more:

Half the country are cowards and traitors. At the very least, they think taking the other side and destroying their own home shows how fair, or smart, or credible their selfish attempt at power is. At worst, they are tried and true amoral win at all cost marxists and nihilists. They don't take orders from foreign armies who just killed millions with a bioweapon, a modern holocaust right before our eyes. Likely, they gave the order. To think what it would be like to be their kid. Come home on Christmas vacation. All your friends are having fun with their families getting stuff. And you come home to your dad's drunk in some armchair after being sodomized by his boyfriend.

And the world's to blame. They've been at war with the USA since our start. They're the ones seeking to be unrestrained by laws, to do whatever they want.

Notice now the liberals have power, no more riots, no more drugs or resistance. Nice if they would walk away without throwing a fit.

Anyways:

No one likes a drunk engineer.

If you work for someone, you need to perfect. No fooling it. You'll be found out soon.

Drinking doesn't just destroy your liver. It leads to high blood pressure, which causes strokes, which means anything. Blindness, pneumonia, paralysis. Awful.

Likely the people making all the booze are foreigners. They crash airplanes into buildings and dance and cheer when Americans die. With drugs and booze, they found a way to charge you admission to the gas chamber.

Usually it's one person. They go away or turn their lives around. Everything is better.

Yes this is more a "British Empire" thing. See Australia, Canada, India etc.
They copied the English political system.
Updates from the article:

> - The processor with V-Cache is the same z-height as current Zen 3 products - both the core chiplet and the V-Cache are thinned to have an equal z-height as the IOD die for seamless integration

> - As the V-Cache is built over the L3 cache on the main CCX, it doesn't sit over any of the hotspots created by the cores and so thermal considerations are less of an issue. The support silicon above the cores is designed to be thermally efficient.
It is but this is also fairly ancient system. More modern systems should be able to shrink time needed for computation - also research facilities may have access to a cluster.
I don't think you'd need absolute equality, influence, or perfect agreement, you'd just need it to facilitate somewhat voluntary cultural diffusion to decrease the level of conflict. In the context of the thread, it's historically accurate that this was already present in some ways during the centuries preceding Canada and the US' founding, but fell apart quite dramatically.
