Intels drop is almost exactly equal to AMDs gain (20% market share between the most recent two laptop datapoints for both). If it was just intel laptops dropping out and converting to apple silicon you wouldn't expect AMD to grow.

I suspect that macs just aren't represented in this graph, probably very few people benchmarks macs when they're identical to all the other macs.
All I keep seeing, is how rust is perfect for everything, will fix everything, should be everywhere, etc, etc. There's gotta be a profit motive involved. There must.
Wouldn't a simple TTL - Time to live, solve that problem, of course with an option to see the graveyard.

This would mean that the same questions would get answered again and again over the years, but I think that could also solve the negative reputation problem of the website.

You have to do it to support modern game graphics. It is something they could skip if they didn't do modern game graphics. It is a cost of modern game graphics. Doesn't matter if you disagree, this is a fact.

So if you divide it up, how much work is done to support the art and graphics of the game, and how much is done to support the gameplay, you get a much greater ratio art to game than 60/40.
your average .net dev gets paid less than your average COBOL dev too, but I wouldn't say that informs us of much other than scarcity of expertise.
We used to say, "you can through a rock into a crowd and find somebody who can at least be productive on .net". Finding a stone cold expert on .Net is far more difficult, but for the average enterprise doing internal development weighing whether to adopt one platform or another, resource availability/scarcity matters.

I dove into ZFS for my home lab as a relative novice.

It's not terrible, but there are a few new concepts to come to grips with. Once you have them down, it's not terrible.

If you don't plan on raiding, IMO, ZFS is overkill. The check-summing is nice, but you can get that from other filesystems.

Maintenance is fairly straight forward. I've even done a disk swap without too much fuss.

The biggest issue I had was setting up raid z on root with ubuntu was a PITA (at the time at least, March of this year). I ended up switching over to debian instead. Once setup, things have been pretty smooth.
At least they made it white, dishtv's, and others I'm sure, antennas are black.
The Ars Technica version of this story [1] has more detail. The tl;dr is that Starlink dishes have an upper limit of 50°C and a lower limit of -30°C. While these limits are fine for consumer electronics used indoors, they're obviously inappropriate for outdoor electronics.

TIL:

testis (n.) (plural testes), 1704, from Latin testis "testicle," usually regarded as a special application of testis "witness" (see testament), presumably because it "bears witness to male virility" [Barnhart]. Stories that trace the use of the Latin word to some supposed swearing-in ceremony are modern and groundless.

Rust has been prominent in Fuscia's userland (which is bigger proportionally because it's a microkernel), but not the kernel (Zircon) itself.

Considering Google's funding of these ISRG projects, I hope this changes.
It's interesting, the difference is only in the intent, the technology itself doesn't express any preference between these headlines.
The Intermediate Axis Theorem: Terry Tao's Answer on MathOverflow
It's a bit more complicated with guns, because businesses aren't going to usually break federal law to sell individuals firearms, since there's a legal way to do it.

Weed businesses have no choice but to break the law, since they have no way to comply with it, federally.

And private firearm sales between individuals weren't ever regulated so no real change there.

Rust and Go were much more similar early on. So a lot of people first exposure to Rust was when it was much more Go like.
This is actual supported by Fitts' law, one of the very few laws in UX design [0]:

"Placing layout elements on the four edges of the screen allows for infinitely large targets in one dimension and therefore present ideal scenarios. As the user's pointer will always stop at the edge, they can move the mouse with the greatest possible speed and still hit the target. The target area is effectively infinitely long along the movement axis. Therefore, this guideline is called “Rule of the infinite edges”. The use of this rule can be seen for example in MacOS, which places the menu bar always on the top left edge of the screen instead of the current program's windowframe."

This architecture also borrowed a lot from the exokernel philosophy, which would actually have provided significant speedups by cutting unnecessary bloat and abstraction.

My conjecture was that this would make up for most of the overhead, but I didn't have time during the thesis to optimize it sufficiently to do a fair comparison with existing architectures.
Highly recommend buying an Aeron on craigslist. Lots of office buildings buy them (they're $1k/pop) and then just get rid of them in fire sales. You can usually get for $200~$400 used.
I doubt there will be a huge migration. I think it's already a small minority of users holding on to "old". I've seen people on social media asking, "why would anyone use the old and broken Reddit design?"

> What we need is a linguist to get on here and give their take, and tell us how it fares compared to the professional resources.

Agreed. BTW, regardless of Wiktionary, I love the research - it's such creative, intriguing, stimulating work to explore those things. When people react, as (IMHO) they are conditioned to, to intellectual things with fear, hesitation and/or negativity, I think 'ugh, you are missing so much, the most beautiful things in this universe and many others.'

And see my other comment about the OED. It's the best tool for it.
SignalR can be used for some applications, but “messaging” is a pretty broad category of different solutions, and I’m not sure what you’d want baked into ASP.NET to accommodate that. HTTP is standardized enough that basically everybody is doing it in very similar ways, but many pieces of a web application are better left for libraries to support.

Is there another mainstream platform with better messaging support without needing libraries that you can name as an example?
You should take a look at satisfactory[0] if you haven't already. It's not (quite) as deep as factorio, but the game world is absolutely beautiful and immersive, and it's still in early access so new content is constantly arriving.I personally had to ban it because I played it for 300 hours in less than three weeks. I literally could not get myself to stop playing (until I did). :)

I bought a Herman Miller Embody for my home office and I love it. Yeah, it's insanely expensive, but it's worth it.
You'd think that after the fiasco of not using automotive grade parts at Tesla which forced them to run AC to keep them within operating range they would have put more thought into high temperature electronics.

Quora is at that point in its lifecycle where it's barely any better than Yahoo Answers. The nice, knowledgeable people that used to provide detailed answers are long gone. Like Medium, it's full of content marketers and clout-chasers who've figured out that getting their answers on Quora is free SEO for their brand.
It may be a libertarian rag, but the article is just about what it says on the title: thermal shutdown hitting Starlink users.

This is hardly the NRA's big agenda. Not a lot of law-abiding gun owners shown in these shows; just people who use them for work in alarming ways.
Good luck getting Google to fund that one particular go, heh. Even if they do fund Mozilla.
How does the Aeron compare to the Embody? I like chairs that are tough and firm on the back (I also prefer sleeping on the floor and use no padding) and get constantly disappointed by soft furniture.
Unfortunately, I'm not based in Canada or US. I tried signing up as a business to find more users for my app [1] but the country dropdown was a blocker.

I'm also a 40ish man, about 5'11". I was having back pain, and it has stopped. While I haven't found a perfect solution, here's what I'm doing.

- Nowadays, I'm mostly using a kneeling chair.

- I've also built a button chair. (See the TED talk at https://buttonchairs.org). I use it some of the time, and it is okay.

- I also use a fairly plain wooden chair at times.

Additionally, I take regular breaks (every couple of hours) and go for a walk around the block. I've also heard that exercising your core helps.
"“Never negotiate with terrorists” is a simple and clear mantra, and as most clear and simple concepts it hides a lot of assumptions"

The word 'terrorists', for one. It's mostly used to mean 'my opponents' these days.

What we are facing with ransomware is not insurrectionists or protestors, but gangsters. They make their living by stealing from people, cheating them, and threatening them. Many insurrectionists are honourable people that you can safely make a deal with. There is no gangster with that property.

Take backups, test the recovery procedure, don't make bargains with gangsters.
> And it's very small

It was designed to work on a VGA screen with 480x640 pixels after all.

And this is from Windows NT 3.5 IIRC. Windows 3.1 didn’t have long file names (like the Apple II had in 1979 or so).
Sure that is their main focus but I think they also have a fusion power component in their research. The point was more generally that the inception of ITER did not mean the end of all other smaller fusion research programs, as Zubrin seems to imply.
This is a hell of an answer for a small question, I really appreciate your write-up!

Never really used it, but from what I've heard (which is just comments on the internet) it's unreliable enough that it's not particularly useful.
Yup, it's always incredible to see how myopic tge tech bubble is - starting with software that couldn't handle East Coast US 5-digit ZIP (postal) codes that begin with "0". Google Maps never shows the highway exit # until you're nearly there, but that's all we use on the East Coast, since there are many old roads that run parallel to the highways for many miles, so telling me to "get off at Rt110" is hopelessly ambiguous with a dozen exits for that road. I could go on...
I found it ironic to stumble through this convoluted sentence on a UX site:

> What designers call an “invisible tutorial” is simply a tutorial section that fits perfectly in the flow zone, which values the preceding and succeeding events and respects player expectations. There will never be a situation where a player does not realise they are not participants of a tutorial, but an invisible tutorial will hardly be discernible from the game experience as it respects the pacing of all experiences around it.

An attempt to avoid the triple negative:

> What designers call an “invisible tutorial” is a tutorial section that fits perfectly in the flow zone, which values the preceding and succeeding events and respects player expectations. The player will always realise that they are not participating in a tutorial, but an invisible tutorial will hardly be discernible from the game experience as it respects the pacing of all experiences around it.

I still don't get what this is trying to say. Isn't it true that the player will usually (always?) realize they're in a tutorial, but an "invisible" one will just feel well-integrated with the surrounding experiences? Or is this passage arguing that a tutorial that is "invisible" will by definition NOT be noticed as a tutorial?
> they're obviously inappropriate

They're unfortunately constraints, but for 95% of people they're workable constraints. If there are difficult problems with bumping these limits (I have no clue), it could just become part of the market definition.
I have an Aeron at work. It's pretty good. But I have a steelcase Leap at home and I love it. Largely it's a matter of preference though.

My advice: look for something used or refurbished (although this is harder than before covid since so many people want good chairs now). I got the steelcase leap on craigslist from a used office supply store. They basically buy up furniture from companies that go out of business. When I went to pick it up they did a complimentary steaming for me. And it cost me $150 vs closer to 1000 new. The chair is about 15 years old, but Steelcase chairs are very well made and it honestly doesn't look more than 1 or 2 years old.

> The model for profit is around the bat coins gaining popularity

Incorrect. Their revenue is in USD, and their payout is calculated using the revenue in USD. The price of the token does not affect them in any way.

Their model from profit is unbelievably simple. They are an ad network that uses the browser as a distribution vehicle. More people using the browser, more advertisers will be buying ad space, more revenue for them.

They do have a published roadmap about offering more services in the crypto-space (built-in web3 wallet with direct connection with crypto exchanges, use of NFTs to access features and services on different websites, etc) which are very interesting and it might even become a bigger play than the existing ad network. At the end of the day however, they can have a solid and sustainable business just with the ad distribution network.

IKEA Markus chair. I can't recommend it enough.
I wonder why such an aggressive thermal cutoff too, 50C ain't that hot even for consumer-grade electronics. Is it related to all that heat reducing SNR to unacceptable levels? If so, that frankly sounds like a pretty severe design shortcoming.

Ah, thank you. Unfortunately, I haven't revisited that issue in a long time so that was the only example that sprung to mind.
But the modern interfaces are relative junk from my view with some exceptions.

Just basic things like putting focus on an input field of a pop-up dialog. I get that isn't sexy but it IS efficient. They should focus more on the later and less on the sexy gradient / look stuff.
> US has the most subsidized healthcare in the world by GDP.

No. Just... No, absolutely not. That's among the most factually incorrect statements I've seen anywhere online, let alone on HN. Why would you even write something like that; are you really so utterly ill-informed, or just plain lying?
Thanks! Appreciate it. We've had a couple issues related to the cache recently, but I've been re-doing the registration / login flow as well.

In terms of taxes: Absolutely! We've actually been really excited about that side of things for a while, specifically in relation to specific identification tax analysis. What that basically means is that if you bought Bitcoin:
(a) in 2017 at $20k
(b) in March at $60k
(c) and then a few weeks ago at $35k

If you were to sell BTC today at $38k, you should be able to say "Hey! I want to sell the BTC I bought in lot (b), but not the ones from (a) or (c)" since that's technically sell at a loss. The trick to this is that you have to make that designation within 10 days of selling, so the tax feature has to actually be integrated into the trading platform itself.

There are a bunch of things we need to do before we can effectively launch that feature, but it gets me excited every time someone asks.
This is interesting, but seems to be getting a little off topic.

The DMCA as it's applied today has a lot of unintended consequences and problems. For Section 230 to be interpreted in the same way would not equalize the two laws and make both of them unproblematic, that would just be a world where content was as vulnerable to stuff like frivolous libel takedown requests as it currently is to frivolous copyright takedown requests. It would be a disaster for the Open Internet.

My take is that we can look at the application of the DMCA today and see its effects, and view that as pretty strong evidence that this approach doesn't really work and that very little else in regards to platform/distributor liability online should be set up to work like the DMCA does. So I would love to see the DMCA revisited and the takedown provisions dropped.
I'm a fan of active sitting. In Germany we have "Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V." (working group healthy back) and they publish a list of "Active office chairs" (Aktiv-Bürostühle) with their seal of approval at

https://agr-ev.de/de/ratgeber-produkte/produkte/2837-aktiv-b...

These chairs aren't for everyone, i encourage you to try them before you buy!

The ones i know personally are

- Aeris 3Dee

Super nice chair, very ergonomic, quite pricey, starting at around 1000€

- Dauphin Stilo with 3d-balance system

Bought this chair for my adult son who is super happy with it and uses it lots. Costs around 550€. I may buy one for myself, too.

- Haider Bioswing

I bought a used chair with this mechanical principle and it's pretty good but not as good as the other two, at least for this (quite old) chair. A new one would probably be more ergonomic
I would still go with a collection of composable tools rather than something monolithic as ZFS, and to avoid the learning curve. But again, for personal use. If you're planning to use ZFS in a professional setting it might be good to experiment with it at home.
you should take a look at https://create-full-stack.com/

the mobile app it generates is react-native with auth0 already included. It uses hasura as a backend, the pulumi config will deploy it to ECS for you if want.

tbh though I don't see how this is a problem with hasura and just a auth0/RN issue.
Awesome stuff in the pipeline and thanks for the reply. I'd love for BlockFi to be supported, but unfortunately I don't see them opening up their entire platform via API anytime soon.
I never understood the Chinese propaganda angle but I agree the app is wonderful. It's the only app that has found a way to touch every one of my emotions.
Same exact thing happens to me. The link just takes you to the app store. No content linked at all, not even linking to open the reddit app!

< I suspect that macs just aren't represented in this graph

It looks like their software doesn't support macOS so it's pretty safe to say there are no Macs in the dataset.

Their software does support Andriod & iOS. It would be interested to see how these changed if they were included.
From the notes at the bottom:

> As the PerformanceTest software only runs on Windows OS and counts on user submitting their benchmarks. This chart may be non reflective of non Windows user base.
> With ransomware and other online attacks on the rise

Yeah we really need to show the world better defense is possible, or the US military, always hungry for mission creepy, is just going to subsidize critical infrastructure that should have never been private in the first place with free counter attacks or whatever.

The non-technical policy consensus is already "defense is hard", not "we're incredibly sloppy and we should be ashamed of ourselves", and so changing norms is really important and already an uphill battle that's just going to get harder.
