because people here wasted years to learn all the quirks in JS and now they should realize all that was a mistake? Much better to downvote negative comments.
no

basically the hashing algorithm they use strips out certain information, which means that e.g.

"PaSSWord123"
"pAsswORD123"
"PaSSWord123 "
etc

all hash to the same value, and so are equivalent.
Any comment like this is immediately hit with a flood of "well I love working from home". I'm under 30 and absolutely miserable working from home. The lack of any social interaction with my coworkers combined with a personal lack of a social network outside of work has left me lonely and isolated. On a positive note the lockdown has pushed me to begin exercising, start eating healthier, stop drinking, and start learning a second language in prep for a long sabbatical abroad.
Definitely, the whole presentation had a weird culty vibe to it. I couldn't take it seriously when the presenter was gushing over Windows so much.
> Do you really need Windows?

Probably not, unless you are a gamer.
I'm actually wondering if Stratechery watched the same presentation. I don't think anyone could watch the same presentation and call it "playful" or "light."
>Is the problem really that you still have to grapple with graphics drivers on the CLI?

Bullshit on distros like Solus OS.
No, all essential amino acids can be found in plants. We have a long way to go if even people here on HN (which I would consider more educated than the average person) gets something as basic as this about nutrition wrong.
Commercial applications for machine learning would be a good start.

I know Microsoft is using GPT-3 in one of their software programs so users can generate specific formulas faster. It's pretty cool.

Maybe one day.
Not all of them, some just want to sell stuff, but make it positively terrible to search for things. Some site owners provide you service, like banks, or chat services like Slack, or Jira, but the user interface is again a turd. Some just publish info on a blog, but you can expect it to go away, so why not save it for later.

Slack limits the amount of searchable messages to 10k, so if you save them regularly to local DB, you can search without limits.

All kinds of owners don't sell/show ads, or care about scraping.
No.

This the future foreign internet companies chose when they put profits above all else.

And that they're all from Mexico/Central America right?
It's gotten much easier with Nvidia cards thanks to VM gaming being officially supported. No more hiding the VM and that Error 47 nonsense.

Basically you bind the graphics card to the vfio driver by writing the PCI ID to /sys/bus/pci/drivers/vfio-pci/new_id and then you can use it in qemu with -device vfio-pci,host=01:00.0.

If you have sane IOMMU groups and have an extra GPU for the host it should work with just those two steps. You still have to decide about how you handle input and output, but that's very user specific. Virtual input over the qemu GUI works well enough, there's also an evdev thing that lets you switch by pressing both Ctrl keys, or pass an entire USB controller. For audio I recommend scream[1] for the lowest latency (I get 2ms VM->PA->Speaker with MuQSS scheduler) with full 7.1 audio and if you don't want a dedicated monitor or switch monitor inputs there is Looking Glass[2] which captures frames and shuffles them to the host over shared memory. It also handles input via spice.

It's still a bit of work, but for me that's mostly on the Windows side rather than the passthrough stuff itself.

Nadella's talking about how the web "grew up" on Windows; it's just rhetoric about how the dominant (client-side) portion of the web was facilitated through Windows.
Bulgaria seized 200,000 BTC in an organized crime crackdown in 2017 [1]. The FBI seized 144,000 BTC in the Silk Road crackdown in 2013, though have since auctioned some of that off. [2]

I believe there are only 4 addresses with more than 100,00BTC each. Satoshi is 1. I believe Bitfinex is 3.

How do you propose they source that data from other browsers? Do you e.g. think Apple and Mozilla would provide them with a suitable feed, at a high enough granularity to be useful?

And if they did, what do you think the public reaction would be to such data sharing?
Who's talking about unlimited?

Nadella’s true colours showing through. A few years back on here people were virtually giving the guy a metaphorical hand job about the new improved Microsoft.

So reality is as I described : hubris and marketing resulting in nothing but stagnated excrement for everyone unfortunate enough to have to deal with them. Again. Same as the last executive positions there.

If Microsoft hadn’t had their hands in our technology future we’d be further along and better off. All they have done is set our expectations low.
Internet Explorer was first released on August 16, 1995 [1] for as part of the Microsoft Plus! pack for Windows 95. That said, IE 1 and 2 were pretty paltry efforts and Microsoft's attack against Netscape didn't really get going until IE 3, which came out in '96 [2]. As I understand it, this was also the first release of Internet Explorer that was packaged with the operating system, as it was shipped with the Windows 95 OSR2 service pack.

Same - it was clear to me by question 2 that I was going to be guessing on the rest of the quiz. Having to fill out the rest before getting feedback was a formality at that point.

> A problem there is that in memory the arrays are of course laid out one after the other, which actually destroys cache locality if you need to access more than 1 property inside a loop (it will need to load back and forth to the different property arrays), so it's a somewhat dumb approach.

This is actually why memory layout != DoD. You need to account for this in the architecture of the program, so that the systems only operate on a small amount of data that are relevant to them at one time.

The tradeoff is paying for all the data, all the time, and some of the data most of the time. For a large class of programs that can be architected around mostly non-unique, trivially copyable fields with few relations, the tradeoff between AoS and SoAs is obvious.

For other programs where your entities need relational information and form trees or graphs, it can be less obvious whether the data representation is going to be faster. However in these cases you store the relationship as your data (for example, as an adjacency matrix), but implementing any kind of textbook algorithm over it is basically reverse engineering pointers with indexes.
It’s a cultural thing and cultures can and do change.
Would you say Dutch news is more objective than American news?
"Some people are so deeply lost in their hatred of AMP that they cannot even consider for a moment that maybe, just maybe, AMP actually does work well for some people."

My assumption is that AMP is most heavily used by news organizations because of the requirement (recently rescinded) for carousel placement. Anecdotal, but I've talked with people at these organizations, and they definitely don't like AMP. They tolerate AMP solely for the carousel placement. That requirement is gone now. But, given the low margins in those places, it may be some time before they migrate off.

Presumably capital changing ownership will tend towards ownership by those who can deploy it more productively, so it doesn't seem like bits shifting around is positive evidence that it's value neutral or negative in real terms.

Obviously there are lots of ways this pretty story breaks down, but I think the "just moving bits" reason isn't that strong a criticism.

Java 8's time package is a sort of second version of Joda-Time by Stephen Colebourne, who is not very impressed by the new JavaScript API:

Of course there are amino acids that don't exist in plants, but they are not essential (i.e. can be synthesized in the human body and don't need to be taken from external sources).

From first principles, it's possible because e.g. cows could make amino acids that are not found in plants, but those are not essential (I don't know if cows make any non essential amino acids that are not found in plants, this is just an example)
Yep, you hit the nail on the head. In All-Star Superman, Lex Luthor was described as "not the smartest man in the room, but the smartest man in every room." Originally, that's how I wanted to be described, but s/smart/larg/. That evolved into the need to compete, and after finally taking first in a tested competition and finding it didn't bring me the fulfillment I'd been craving, I realized that external validation wouldn't help me see my body in a positive light and turned instead towards the goal of personal satisfaction. That might be the right lesson from after-school specials, but trying to self-validate through a mental lens that filters out all "positive" progress and highlights the shortcomings can't bring a person any real personal satisfaction- I needed to get help as well, and (fortunately) eventually I did.
I think this part of youtube should be spun into a separate entity that delivers services to governments who should protect copyrights for which the copyright holder should pay a fee (read "a tax!").

I understand people are trying to make a living but I'm really tired of everyone else having to pay for their copyright though all kinds of "externalizes" like trolling fair use, making it impossible to find some music to add to a video, do a remix, make fan art etc etc etc I think the public is missing out on 99% of the potential creations and the creativity that comes from them. Learning a new skill is hard if you have no access to anything. The economy is compromised here. Then we also have to view advertisements so that copyright enforcement can be paid for? I use to have thousands (seriously) of youtube subscriptions. Every channel worth watching is gone and most of it was over bullshit violations of fair use. Copyright didn't enhance my experience, it ruined it. The best instance was a movie (that I wont name) made from videos endlessly duplicated on the web from which the origin was impossible to trace. After the movie was launched everyone got a take down notice. Accounts got flagged, people got banned. (not just youtube but also their other services like gmail) That the videos had been online for over a decade didn't bother the process at all.

When I play my guitar I hardly feel every string I pull is a wonderful new creation that I should own from now on(???) If I do feel like that I would expect to pay for these services myself. If the creations are not valuable enough to pay for copyright enforcement then they are simply not valuable enough - period. It shouldn't mean other people now have to pay for it.

If you play music (a recording) in public (in your bar, disco, restaurant etc) in the Netherlands you have to pay fees regardless of the artist being registered with the entity. The exception is if you have specific written permission. I'm just playing my guitar, why cant I just have people use my music? Why do I have to do extra work so that some unrelated 4rd party can get paid? Why does google have to pay for it? By what logic should google be the one to decide what shall and shall not pass? They have an elaborate system that took a lot of effort, cost them a lot of money and it doesn't work. Just let government do it and charge the tax for the service and deal with false claims similarly - in court. The recording studios claim to be missing out on hundreds of billions. By that logic governments could make a HUGE profit on these taxes. Lets not make it a flat tax, let it scale to the moon.

That's the one UI control I hate the most. Please don't do that. It replaces 3 seconds of typing 1 (tap) 15 (tap) 1969 into a tedious thumb game, especially if you have to scroll through three decades of years. Even Apple recently replaced it (https://www.idownloadblog.com/2020/08/12/redesigned-date-tim...), thank god.

Pleeeeeeeeease don't do that. The dropdowns are fine, and much superior.

I realize this isn't data. What you call "awesome" I call "nightmarish". I would love to see actual research on the usability of that particular date picker scroll widget... maybe most users prefer it? I dunno.
2005, when the most important platform was the desktop, when the virtualization was yet to be mature, and when the dominant system programming language is C++.

Today CPU cores are sliced by cloud vendors to sell out in smaller portion, and the phones are hesitant to go many-core as it will eat your battery in light-speed. Dark silicon is spent for domain specific circuits like AI, media or networking instead of generic cores.

Parallelism is still very hard problem in theory, but its practical need isn't as prevalent as we thought on a decade-plus ago, partly thanks for the cloud and mobile. For most of us, at least the parallelism is kind of solved-by-someone-else problem. It is left for the small number of experts.

Concurrency is still there, but the situation is much better than before (async/await, immutable data types, actors...)
Climate isn’t the average weather it’s the expected weather. X hurricanes every Y years for example doesn’t change the average significantly, but their a major climate concern in areas at risk from them.

Velodrome and road cycling are completely different disciplines. This is like saying that why bother building purpose built track and field venue so you can do the 100m run there when just some random piece of tarmac would do (it works for marathons so obviously it is fine as a running surface)
The big problem we have is that people don't care just about software features, but about software bugs. The biggest example is the web. We could have something that implements the features of a web browser relatively clearly, but what about the bugs that are treated as features? There are billions of pages that depend on bugs of current browsers to display correctly. The same for other areas such as word processors, operating systems, etc.
That sounds like a problem for those developers and their approach, not with the platform on which they are building.
I get the point of choosing key metrics that are indicative of the reliability or quality of service. Having to narrow it down to a headline makes it less clear. For a datacentre region, counting number of outages may very well be a great bottom-line indication, with more fine grained objectives being tracked.
So basically White Castle?

I am in the same camp, though, drinking doesn't exactly expand the options that much, just so you know. The real problem is our generation doesn't really seem to have many places to actually meet and make friends with others our own age. It is either some club (not exactly conducive to long term friendship building) or online in some way. If you don't make lasting friendships during college, many of us 20-somethings are kind of screwed unless we bust our asses trying to join communities outside of work. I've been thinking about volunteer work for instance.
That's phrasing the problem in a format where the only solution is Google. Re-phrasing it as "What else can a search engine do to stop being gamed?" opens up a lot more options.

The real problem here is not 'gamed search engines' but too much centralisation, with Google owning the search engine, the browser, and the ad platform. This solution makes that problem worse, not better.
Yeah is every language going to have a big date/time API. Temporal looks good but its big.
Lab-grown meat can exceed that thought.

You can make cuts that are bigger than they currently can be. You can adjust composition, fat content, potentially embed flavourings directly into the meat, or combine types of meat, or create types of meat that doesn't even exist today.

So I'm sure it will take time, but there's also a fairly good chance what will win people over will be that it'll be possible to provide products that just doesn't exist from "natural" sources.
>portion of the web was facilitated through Windows

I'm old enough to have lived through ie6. They did everything they could to hold the web back a generation because they saw the future and it was web services and the open web doesn't exclusively run on windows.
Microsoft started the majority of this back in Windows 8 and made it a dark pattern to skip in 10, this isn't really an Apple thing. The whole industry moved this way.

Windows 11 breaks the bar here and requires internet now. It's not a dark pattern or skippable like you are implying here and it's not on remotely the same level as Apple or Google. Microsoft clearly is being the worst of anyone here.

I don't know, I think they are bad in a different way from Apple, and in my opinion this way is worse. Apple enforces what is and isn't allowed on their platform with an "Apple knows best" attitude, but besides this the UX basically respects the user and gets out of your way.

Microsoft uses dark patterns to actively bully the user into doing what they want you to do.

Also WSL2 is fine, but I have the feeling they are only doing this because Windows was becoming the 3rd class development platform behind Linux and Mac. For modern development you need to be able to speak *nix, so MS did not have much of a choice here but to come up with some kind of solution.
Does that mean more pop ups to accept?
Ha. Mainstream Windows at the time didn’t even have TCP/IP software to connect to the internet. I think it came in a later revision of Windows 95. Windows 98 did have it installed though.

That's kind of my point. A $2tn company can probably just write off what little piracy there is left, even more so now that everything is "webby". So why they feel the need to add this to a platform they're now effectively giving away for free for the reasons you state is even more bizarre.

I guess data is the next billion dollar department in Microsoft, and this is them harvesting even more of it.
