I had the same experience a couple months back trying to set up a gaming PC. This was after the initial screen set my speakers to max and then blasted Cortana screaming at me in different languages. This was at about 3am in the morning, and I have pretty good speakers. After recovering from my heart attack, I then proceeded to fight for ~20 minutes on how to install without a Windows account - since I had already set up Wifi, the easiest way was to unplug my router for a bit. After a while Windows booted up, but would constantly BSOD on reboots. I gave up and bought a console.

Absolute trash OS, sorry.

no, those things simply lower the skill floor of driving as well as reduces attention/focus, which is the opposite of safety. all things being equal, less attention causes accidents and makes them more severe, and greater skill prevents accidents and lessens severity. some of those "safety" features can cause accidents because they counteract rather than complement the measures of a skilled driver.
Seems like everything is working as intended? A corporation invests money to develop a better product, and the government gives them a 20 year monopoly on it so they charge a premium and recoup their investment. As a patient if you want to pay the premium for it, you can get the better product, otherwise you can still stick with whatever walmart's selling. It's worse, but it's not any worse than what you'd had if the company didn't come along and invented the better product.
Isn’t that proving Nadella’s point?

Windows in 1994 was not the kind of walled garden where Microsoft could have forced users exclusively onto MSN. When the web turned out to be the winner, Microsoft had to adapt and build their own browser; they couldn’t just tighten the App Store screws like Apple would do in a similar situation on iOS.
What channels have you tried, specifically?
I haven't done a side by side with it, but the red dragon sauce is damn good.

Maybe a bit different than Huy Fong, but it checks the box for me.

Side note, the main mechanism TJs and other store brands use to pull off this trick is to have the original manufacturers produce the product for them as a white label product.

Intel to disable TSX by default on more CPUs with new microcode
since I'm largely in the same boat: I think it has more relevance in some fields than in others. E.g. programming is relatively good at naming things descriptively, but less-so many fields that name tons of things based on the discoverer, e.g. biology-related things have a fair bit of this. And obviously there are numerous exceptions in both directions.

For programming: I'm quite happy saying "learn concepts, not terms/frameworks". There's obviously some value in things you use a ton daily, but you'll naturally remember those through use - for the rest, thankfully, programmers are great at making things searchable, and there are loads of tools to search even when not (e.g. grep). Terms can be useful for communication purposes, learn them as needed and meh beyond that. Frameworks though are basically the programming-world equivalent of fashion, they change with the weather / at the whims of popular tweets. Yolo - learn how it works instead of the API, that's waaaay more useful, and is probably transferrable to dozens of other frameworks.

But as an example: I routinely forget the argument order and finer details of the various "split a string" funcs in the 3 or 4 languages I use ~weekly. Because I only use them every few months. And in my next language, quickly-recall-able memory of those other-lang patterns won't help me in the least (if anything, they might slow me down). Splitting a string though, and choosing which end to start from, and how many times to split, and the various i18n complications, is a general concept that's applicable in all languages.

> they had the tools, the context, and the encouragement from the language itself to write it in parallel

No I think Erlang gives you the tools, context, and encouragement to write it concurrently. After you have concurrency, you may or may not have parallelism.

And if you don't you will have to restructure your program to get it, even if your program was already highly concurrent. That's contrary to what the person I was replying to said.

I'm not sure but was always under the impression at-will employment is essentially that. The employer and employee maintain an agreement that either party can terminate at any point in time. Is that not the right interpretation of at-will employment?
You can skip it with Pro. It's easy to overlook, but the option is there.

You can also set up a new Windows 10 Pro installation without a network cord plugged in and it dramatically simplifies the setup process skipping the whole MS account dance other than telling you that you can do it if/when you connect the machine to the network later.
> The USD is equally worthless but at least people don't pretend that it is a store of value (some people want it to be one). You can't eat USD or BTC

The ability to eat something is not what makes it a store of value. Milk is a TERRIBLE store of value for time frames greater than a few weeks, for instance. The USD is a store of value as it is relatively stable and so you know that you'll be able to leverage its value in the future; gold does the same. The beauty of USD is that unless you think the United States of America is going to cease to be, it is the only thing accepted for tax payments and so a few hundred million people along with countless businesses and institutions are going to need USD to pay the government every year.
Literally every stable currency is a "store of value"; the predictability of the value is what makes it stable. This is precisely why BTC is not stable, nor a good store of value. It is an asset whose primarily uses are speculation and illicit financial flows.

> Once something turns into a "store of value" it ceases to be a good medium of exchange.

I fail to see the connection. Sure, not all stores of value are good mediums of exchange, but this has more to do with the physical properties of the underlying commodity rather than the fact that it holds its value stably. Gold is too heavy to carry around in your pocket, and securely storing a lot of it requires specific infrastructure that most people don't want to maintain. These things are true regardless of whether or not the value of gold is relatively stable over time.

It's insane. Every I reinstall windows and try to download Firefox, the number of times Microsoft pleads to continue using Edge is increasing.

I agree. I claim that both sets are biased, whch is why we can't use the steam charts or Firefox usage data to draw any conclusions about the broader population
> unless you pretend the US is homogeneous

The US is (sadly) extremely homogeneous because it's the same few dozen brands that are ever-present everywhere. You can be air-dropped blindfolded into a strip mall anywhere in the country and there will be no way to tell where you are since it'll be the exact same chain-food.

> Maybe you kinda sorta could have pigeonholed the US like that 40-50 years ago.

Strange comment because 40-50 years ago it was quite the opposite. A few nationwide-chains existed already, but every town had a local flavor and nearly all restaurants were local. It was fun to travel town to town experiencing the differences. Today it's the same everywhere. Very dull.
Yes, we still use chromebooks in high school - though most of my friends have nagged parents enough to get their own laptops - me included :)

They all got "enterprise enrollment" feature that makes them kinda useless. Pretty much impossible to reinstall OS, and believe me, lots of people have tried.
I really don't understand what stopped ipv4 from being extended like this: w.x.y.z == 0.0.0.0.w.x.y.z

In fact, you can even ping any 32 bit unsigned integer and it will turn it into an ipv4. Try it: `ping 134744072` will ping `8.8.8.8`

So why not 64 bit? 32 bits fit in 64.

Instead we now have 2 concurrent protocols.

ps. 8*256^3 + 8*256^2 + 8*256 + 8 = 134744072
I think you might be misunderstanding what type erasure does. It's really just about whether type information is retained at run time, in order to support run time type checks. Hindley-Milner type checking, on the other hand, happens at compile time.

In a rigorously statically typed language like Haskell that does all the type checking at compile time, there is no need to retain types at run time, so they are erased. Java is a less statically typed language. Variables have types, but you're allowed to upcast all the way up to Object, and then do a dynamic type check and downcast at a later time. It's just that the language won't do this transparently for you the way it will in a more fully dynamically typed language. In order to support this, though, Java cannot erase types.

The controversy with Java is that, when generics were introduced, they decided that generic type parameters would be erased. This greatly undercuts the soundness of the type system. If you're not careful (or if you're trying to be clever), you can insert a String into an object that had been declared to be a List<Integer>, and you won't get any errors until you try to iterate over the list and a run-time type check suddenly blows up your program because some code finds itself interacting with a String even though the compiler's static type check had confirmed that the code should have only ever been able to operate on Integers.

The thing to call attention to here, though, is that this is at least as much about Java's relatively weak static type system as it is about erasing type parameters. If Java (the language) had something closer to a Hindley-Milner type system with stronger static type checks, then it might have been able to catch shenanigans like that at compile time. It's a question of framing: the problem could have been handled by using type reification to enable stronger run-time type checks, but it might also have been solved by using stronger compile-time type checks to eliminate the need for those run-time checks in the first place.

That said, this is pretty deep out in speculative territory, since it's doubtful that either option could have been executed without major breaking changes, which Java definitely wasn't going to do.
Ask HN: How to effectively convey your work experience during an interview

I've been using Temporal in production for a few months now. I really enjoy using it. Use it mostly for creating ISO date strings and translating between timezones. I can't wait for it to make it through the TC39 process.
This is so incredibly wrong - and trying to claim something you know obviously nothing about is hilarious.

The different between NPH (regular insulin) (maybe R too, not sure??) sold by walmart and Fast Acting insulins (Novolog, Humalog, Apidra) is massive.

Fast acting insulins start working at about in about 30 minutes and "peak" at like 2 hours, and may slowly have some effects for another 1-2 hours.

NPH on the other hand, starts working at ~2 hour mark and continues to work slowly until peaking at like 6 hours and slowly degrades away, that means its in your system for something like 9 hours - trying to meal plan around multiple doses of that is unsafe at best.

R is slightly better but still remains and slowly peaks closer to 4 hours.

These are obviously GREAT IF and only IF you dont have access to fast acting. I applaud Walmart for giving access to these, as they are way better than nothing.

Internal training for new engineering managers
It's really clear that Jevon's paradox does not currently apply to decarbonizatiom and increased energy availability.

As our GDP is rising, energy usage is going down. Our efficiency is increasing, with better gas mileage, more efficient lighting, etc, and total energy use is going down.

There are some areas where Jevons paradox applies, but it's where the majority of use of something is gated by cost. Most of our energy consumption is not limited by that these days, in that most people aren't keeping the house colder at winter than they'd like it to save money, or driving less than they'd like because of gas costs.

Where Jevons paradox causes lots of problems is with road building. Because by changing the fundamental geography, you're changing the demand side of the equation a ton.

In some ways, we got this future. We wanted total freedom. We got total freedom.

"No we don't! What about Facebook and Google and and an..."

...listen: Freedom means the ability to choose NOT to be free.

(This is the challenge that faces anarchists: How do you enforce freedom? It's a contradiction in terms. I say this as someone who would desperately like to be wrong about this, but in all my years I've yet to see any resolution to that.)

We choose to use Google instead of Duck Duck Go. We choose to use Facebook instead of our own self-hosted blogs. We choose to reveal our identities online rather than use anonymous personas.

We choose all of this.

Yes, there's an amount of privacy violation that is happening at the ISP level that allows an unconscionable amount of tracking, and that's a fight worth fighting. But the vast majority of what we talk about when we discuss privacy is stuff that we chose.

We chose wrong, but we chose. We can still make better choices, but we don't.

The conglomerates of the world are winning not because of force (no one pointed a gun at my head to join Facebook or install it on my phone), but because they offered us a nicer playground.

We had Second Life, where we could do and be anything we wanted. We chose Minecraft and Fortnite. We had free email servers that we could run on our machines. We chose Gmail. We had absurdly cheap storage devices that we could use to create our own "cloud" services to store all of our data ourselves, outside the reach of prying eyes or hands. We chose iCloud and Drive and AWS and Dropbox and all the rest.

Cyberspace IS independent and free, or at least as independent and free as its ever been. The reason we don't feel that way is because we choose, every day, to participate in controlled wonder gardens. We prefer the convenience.
In the consumer market, maybe. In reality you are only taking into account your country, in all other countries macs are rare, and are typically only used by creators (photographers, musicians, video makers, etc) or by someone that develops iOS applications (because you don't have an alternative, or legally you don't, a lot of people just have hackintosh VM to compile).

Nowadays a lot of people that used a mac went back to Windows, because let's face it, it's more stable, it's faster, and consumes less resources. I once was a macOS user, and the latest release was so slow on my 2015 macbook pro (that still is a pretty good hardware) that made me format everything and install Linux on it. Now it seems to me that I have a brand new computer...

In the professional market there is only Windows. In every big company everything is Microsoft, Windows, Office, Active Directory, Exchange, Windows server, Azure. Probably the reason is the IT department likes Windows more since it's easier to maintain than macs.

Regarding iPhone, they are not so diffuse as they are in the US. In my country you have a 19% iPhone, and it's one of the European countries where they are more prevalent, and still it's a minority. Most of the people uses Android phones, and doesn't want to spend more than 200 euros for a phone.

Probably in the US iPhone are so diffuse because you usually get them with your mobile plan, while in my country no one buys a phone that way, since you will end up paying it like double the price and you loose the freedom to change the provider as you wish.

Wall Street Smart Genius types have long held that curing disease is bad business, managing symptoms over the entire lifetime allows them to extract more capital out of the cattle.

So, if you're looking to cure something you're going to struggle to find funding.

Right. Many years ago, I worked for a department store or two that carried books. Some of those missing the front cover ended up where employees could take them. I suppose that this was not supposed to happen, but it did.
This is kind of a weird question, but how exactly does anyone prove that this is actually lab grown meat and isn't just normal meat that has been turned into meat paste and then sold for twice as much as normal meat?

I mean, obviously, they wouldn't do this at first. They would wait until everyone was complacent and used to eating lab grown meat before they started supplementing their production.

As long as creating lab-grown meat is more expensive than growing real animals and butchering them, there will be an economic incentive for this sort of fraud.

Some considerations on manufacturing — there’s a variety of product quality steps necessary to release batches of medicine. The FDA mandates this as part of GMP regulations. These steps help ensure things like:

* How do I know that every vial has the same concentration of insulin each time? That is to say 1 unit from a vial today and 1 unit from another vial is going to have the same dosing.

* How do I know the insulin is purified? If there’s any host cell protein in the vial, that could be immunogenic and cause bad side effects.

* How do I know that the formulation of insulin in the vial won’t degrade on me at whatever storage condition is stated?

I realize that these tests make up only a small fraction of the price, but there’s a lot of value to purchasing medicine from regulated sources. I’m not against upstart competition against big pharma, but I worry that you might literally kill someone if you don’t include these product quality steps in your process.

SafeDollar ‘stablecoin’ drops to $0 following DeFi exploit on Polygon
Even if you could convert all the corn/soybean land in the United States to more regenerative methods, you probably wouldn't be able to meet the current demand for meat.

Additionally you have a logistical problem with the animals being distributed across an enormous area vs concentrated in a CAFO.

Now, you would easily be able to grow enough food for the country and possibly the globe, but meat demand cannot be sustained.
Fixed for you.
And pretty easy for US monitoring of launches to determine if no launch corresponded to this and tell the world it was fake. If was a fake, it would require a fair number of people outside the PRC to remain silent.

Find a way to better decentralize it, so that it doesn't rely on single hosts(and later sites) as the source of truth for any particular function.

The original idea was that protocols would allow any one to participate by simply making their own webpage. But dynamic IP addresses, the DNS system, and even just HTML design were out of reach for most people so that got lost and monsterous websites under centralized control became the mediators for most people.

So if we could find a way to bake that decentralization into the protocols even more strongly while making them accessible to non-technical people, that's the change I would make.

The aim is to create a world where central platforms are not dominant, but any user can easily participate in the communication protocols with out there being a central point to collect all the data or force changes from.

...of course, I have no idea how one would go about doing that, and there in lies the rub.
