Almost everyone knows that the model year is part of the, idk, "minimal tuple" for identifying vehicles, though, and you can count on it always appearing in e.g. advertisements.

In CPU land, the architecture codename or process node might be part of such a "minimal tuple" but these are frequently omitted by OEMs and retailers in their advertising materials.
Often VS Code literally takes longer to process a single key input than Vim takes to start, load all plugins and open a session with multiple files on my machine.

Granted, it's not a high-end workstation, just a laptop from 2016. But I don't think it's slow; when Vim first released it could have beaten the fastest supercomputer. Now of course that's a matter of perspective, but I hope I'm not the only one who thinks editing a package.json shouldn't make any modern PC sweat.
It’s not like they all need to be fully functional at the same time. I could see it being only a few are active at a time and it rotates the load as vehicles fill or leave.
It's a b-tree for strings, optimizing for editor tasks that are traditionally inefficient if you keep a text document as a simple string.

Why is this "amazing"? My understanding is that DARPA is just one of many investors and customers who approached Moderna to develope medicine for different uses. The company had raised $2B by the time they went IPO in 2018. It doesn't seem like DARPA funding had much to do with their COVID development, in the same way that Trump's Warp Speed didn't necessarily play a groundbreaking role in the vaccine development. In Pfizer's case, they refused any gov't funding, but only agreed to the gov't's guaranteed sales if their vaccined got approved.

I've been self-employed running a DevOps business for four years, and without a doubt I earn more money with my LLC then when I was employed in San Francisco at startups.

However I can attribute this to the fact I left California and moved to Tennessee. Tennessee does not have state income tax (savings). I signed up for the cheapest catastrophic health insurance I could find (TN health insurance is significantly less than CA). I pay out of pocket up until like $4.5k then the insurance covers 100% after that.

The key is in TAXES! Write offs / deductions are huge. New office desk and chair, new MacBook Pro, AWS bill, new monitors, cell phone, servers in my office closet... All write offs.

Lastly, learn about and use simplified employee pension IRA (SEP). I can contribute $58,000 a year tax deferred. That is crazy higher than the standard miniscule $6,000 with standard IRA's.

Moral of the story, I find the opposite of this article. Being self-employed you take home way more money than being employed. It just takes a six-figure baseline and then utilizing the tax write-offs and deductions to your favor.
They're refering to the money they make at their day job. This person seems fond of telling their HN audience about their high income. It usually only comes up in job- or tax-related threads though.
Just pay for the service. All the photo bs I had to deal with is gone instantly. My wife just takes pics and they are safe. Well worth the money for me.

And not only that, I get beautiful alerts every few days about generated collages and reminders of older pictures.

It showed me a collage of my three kids - spaced two years apart. It detected my three kids in two pics and made a collage!

Honestly, the idea of a coherent starfaring civilization is itself kind of dubious to me based on the following things:

IMO, biological corporeal from for intelligence is not a longterm solution. Bodies are good at what the things they evolved to do and interstellar travel aint one of those things. Now downloading your consciousness onto a robot/computer/swam on the other hand is waaaaaaaaaaaaaay more robust against all manner of failures and threats and really opens up the door for interstellar travel.

HOWEVER.... Assume speed of light is an absolute limit. This means even short hops between stars take a really long time. This doesn't really get much better with increasing technology either, because the amount of computation and evolution we would expect for a sentient robot swarm likely increases faster or at least at the same rate to where, in relative time, it's probably always going to be long and expensive in terms of energy. Even worse... take two "individuals" within this civilization and separate them for 100 years, which is not an unreasonable estimate for interstellar travel. They will be separated for far longer in practical computation time and are likely to evolve substantially without a lot of communication over that time. They will be so different as to not even be the same kind by the time they rejoin. So any semblance of stability for a galactic civilization is such a massively unlikely assumption in my mind. Instead individuals are likely to be in competition with each other. This produces an incentive to prevent such travel from occurring to begin with.
Theory: running the same system in pre-internet style would add overhead in salaries and delays that's more costly than being down for a few weeks after a hack.

That is need blind for internationals, which is quite rare. Need blind for domestic students is a long list which you can see here, and includes basically every school that one would call "top": https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Need-blind_admission

They ask for the information at the same time as the application so that aid packages can be offered in a timely fashion. It can take months to process everything, and students need to know the cost far enough before the decision deadline to weigh their options.

The financial aid office operates entirely separately from the admissions office at MIT, and I'm sure this is the case at other schools that claim to be need blind. Need blind has a clear definition, and there are legal implications to being a need blind school (for domestic students) in the US. It isn't just some marketing thing.

To your point about indirect economic discrimination, I'll note MIT is very clearly the best Ivy+ at admitting low income students: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/projects/college-mobilit...
That doesn't mean there isn't still a long way to go, but MIT is for sure not using need information in their admissions decisions, and if anything actively tries to not just take a ton of elite private school kids.

Actually, the next step probably will be to stop need blind admissions so that parental income can more explicitly be used to correct for disparity in opportunity.
What Intel supplied was the bigger problem, but Apple was definitely not trying to make the chips perform well. They were hitting thermal limits constantly, and more directly toward "sandbagging" the recent macbook airs have a CPU heat sink that isn't connected to anything and has no direct airflow. They could easily have fit a small array of fins that the fan blows over, but chose not to.

Religion can fade away while its values endure.

Most "American Values" are basically just puritan ethics. In America, you won't see someone sipping a beer on the subway for the same reason you see someone take take a 4 week summer vacation, or a nipple on TV. Most of the quirky values that separate us from western europe (like hard work, temperance, abstinence, etc.) can be traced back to our puritan roots.
There are shared/common resources. Environment (air, water, wildlife, etc.) There are stuff that cannot really be solved locally. Simply waiting and trying to persuade each other is very civil, but it has a cost. (Yes, it's very-very-very likely smaller than trying to usurp control with violence, but not every region/country is as fortunate as the US.)
Good question. Both Backbone and React provide a way to build UI components. React Components are way easier for:

1. Having nested DOM elements in your components. Backbone really wanted you to just have one element per component, and then use jQuery to add children as needed.

2. Adding event handlers and other HTML attributes. JSX syntax means you can basically write HTML in your JS file. Backbone made you add event handlers manually.

3. Nested components. React lets the parent simply specify what children it wants and React automatically creates/reuses/destroys component instances for you. This was all manual in Backbone.

The bigger advantage though, is how the state is typically organized in React apps.

In Backbone, app state was sprinkled throughout the component hierarchy, and often you would have do event spaghetti up and down the hierarchy to update some state held by another component.

Typical React apps use a state container like Redux, the UI is "projected" from the state, and components just send changes to the state, aka "unidirectional data flow".

That said, React is not the best for games. Maintaining 60 fps can be difficult and we've done some fairly heavy optimization to try to keep it smooth.
Cool, so don't let them freely browse the internet if you're that worried.
Some would say the spirit of GPLv2 is "I give you this source code, in exchange you give back your changes"

But if an evil version of the GPL comes out and someone forks your code and relicenses to it, you can no longer merge their changes.
Even with backups we've seen companies are more than willing to pay a modest ransom, like the pipeline last month. It takes a long time to fully restore big infrastructure from backup--especially if it's something like old tapes.

But yeah, companies should stop viewing security and IT as a cost center and start paying up for good penetration testing every few years.
Don't really get pubs outside the UK. A pub is basically a place where you can sit and enjoy yourself and chat with mates. Sometimes people can get outrageously drunk.

Also in UK you can buy alcohol from 18, (and if you go to the right places younger even...). It seems totally absurd that in the USA even a 20 YO can't buy himself a drink.
OTOH, Neovim lets you edit the ex command line; e.g. '!}' might expand to ':.,.+5!', which lets you execute any other ex command simply by deleting the '!'. They both have advantages, and I'm certainly not advocating that forcing ex commands to work on lines is the best idea.
Who cares about the age restriction? The issue here is obviously having to put in government ID to use the internet.
Google tells me that Taiwan has had a grand total of 124 deaths for a country of 23 million people. That's 0.00053913% of the population, while the US has had 594k deaths for 328 million people - 0.18109756%. Taiwan's "wave" looks like a slow day for the US.
Absolutely, before this you had to use stuff like FRAPS, Camtasia, proprietary webcam software, etc. There was no all-in-one way to record any webcam/desktop.

OBS does it seamlessly and across all combinations. And the staging is neat too.

A lot of people don't like alcoholic beverages at all.

I have member of my family that despise the taste of alcohol.

Then, we have people like myself, and my father, whom self medicate.

(I hate the taste of all alcohol. I only drink it for the effect. To the problem drinkers out there, don't even think about going to hard alcohol. Stick to low alcohol beer, and wine. Box wine can have as little as 9% alcohol. Naltrexone seems to help with the cravings if you need to stop.)
forgot julia used it, thanks
> They have these, they are called Subaru Outbacks.

To add to the Outbacks are Volvos, maybe not as omnipresent in the US recently, but in my mind Volvo is hardwired to stationwagon form.

Another rather recent urban sighting is VW wagons, kinda odd to spot these among the sea of their SUVs.
It’s closer to a web version of pio solver.

Equity and range evaluators got a lot less useful because people figured how to make software that solves the full (simplified) game tree. This is a superior approach to anything other than all-in spots (which have game tree of one nodes.)

Most serious players these days primarily use software like pio and monker because the competition has gotten tougher and old equity calculators are like using a graphing calculator vs a

AWS EMR is still pretty pricey compared to free ambari/cloudera running on ec2. Although, there is a lot of time and effort that needed to be put into automation that uses those ambari/cloudera hadoop management layers. After they merged, they got really aggressive and made moves that effectively killed each of the free versions. They definitely put another nail in the coffin of hadoop. Spark on kubernetes is pretty gorgeous and has been a successful route out of pricey hadoop infrastructure for my company.
If approximately one in five people are doing it then either it needs to lose the stigma or the definition needs to change.
If you're concerned about this, stop letting your kids use a computer unsupervised. This seems like a no-brainer to me.
Yeah I would have loved to see HDFS get really scalable metadata management. I remember hearing about LinkedIn's intentions to really do some significant work there are the last community event I attended, but from their blog post this week it doesn't sound like that's happened since the read-from-standby work [1].

Kerberos (quite popular on big enterprise clusters) is really what makes it hard to get data in / out IMO. I see generic Hadoop connectors in A LOT of third party tools.

There are integration companies that solve this specific use-case. I’ve used Fivetran [0] and highly recommend it. They will extract-load data from your SaaS to your warehouse and your data scientists can run SQL against the tables. Their most popular warehouses are Redshift and Snowflake. So you can still use a centralized data warehouse without dedicating internal resources to the integrations.

Voluntary pentesting is a good thing. Costly attacks executed by criminals is not.
Last year I bought a czur book scanner that looks kind of like a lamp to try and archive some 100 year old books I had limited access to. The resolution of the camera was so low I ended up balancing my phone on top and getting better images just using it as a light.
I have to totally disagree with this statement:

> in the same way that Trump's Warp Speed didn't necessarily play a groundbreaking role in the vaccine development

Operation warp speed, despite its Trump affiliation was extremely successful, If it hadn't been in place the US would have been similar to Canada or Europe in terms of Vaccine rollout. Here's an article about OWS:

> who, like most Europeans of that time, preferred beer to water

Yes, the pilgrims preferred beer over water because the water kept killing them. Drinking tea or beer was a matter of safety, not mere preference or addiction. We now know that the combination of boiling, pH, and alcohol helped keep beer safer than drinking water of the time, but they were unaware of that and just knew that beer seemed safer.

Trying to draw a parallel between modern drinking habits and the pilgrims is just silly, because we’re drinking different things in different amounts for very different reasons.
I feel like WWIII already started, on the internet. Its only a matter of time before it spills over into meat space.
It's a grant though. I assume no strings attached like a VC.
I don`t believe it is within HN`s guidelines, but we should seriously consider putting a blanket ban on some media outlets. Vice is an obvious candidate. These clickbait sites immediately lower the quality of discourse on this site. I can't think of a good alternative other than a blanket ban, as the clickbait always wins (by definition, i would say).

Lately I've been wanting to get out of the business of maintaining my own vim setup and just adapt to someone else's work. I'm in a state of never coming up with the time to really sit down and create a repeatable modern vim setup, but always feeling like I could be getting more. I've used vi for over 30 years, FYI.

Recently I've been playing with:

OniVim2: I'm not really sure what enhancements it has, but it does have a standard setup. Unfortunately, I'm running into some problem with my setup losing Python syntax highlighting. The ability to use VSCode extensions seems like a real winner, I've never been able to get into the weight of VSCode for my every day shell-oriented workflows. I don't program much, YMMV.

The Amix "awesome vim" setup. It is, unfortunately, TOO awesome. I set it up and some of my first movement commands were bringing up plugins (Ctrl-N and Ctrl-F). Didn't try it very long, it was a bit too much of a departure.

SpaceVim: I spent a while in this, it was working ok once I adapted a few things to it. It's a contender, probably behind Lunar.

LunarVim+NeoVim 0.5: This is looking promising so far, only used it a bit. But the TreeSitter plus LSP seems like a winning combination! Plus it works in the terminal, which OniVim does not. I do a fair bit of my (limited) programming via ssh from a chromebook (my couch compuer).

This trope needs to die. Europe doesn't have drinking "problems" because it mostly draws the line for "problems" in what would solidly be "functional alcoholic" territory in the US.
The happy hour culture and early closing time force binge drinking.
FYI: The author is Tim Kreider, who wrote "Lazy, A Manifesto" years before the pandemic (which is actually an interesting little book).

So little has changed in his attitude due to the pandemic. I just think that's kind of relevant, as the reader might tricked into thinking he was a quintessential go-getter pre-pandemic. But this has always been his beat.
Year of manufacturing says nothing; you can have two different gens manufactured in the same year, one for lower price tier and the other for the higher one. Just like Apple still produces older iPhones, same thing.

Instead, you have designations like "Intel Core i7 8565U Whiskey Lake" or "Intel Core i7 10510U Comet Lake". The first one is 8th generation (=8xxx), the second one is 10th generation (10xxx, but the 14nm one, not the 10nm "Ice Lake"), and most OEMs do put these into their marketing materials and they are on their respective web shops (these two specifically were copied from two different Thinkpads X1 Carbon models).
