IE pushed the web forward initially. It was only after it won that it stagnated. As a developer, this is my biggest fear for Chromium.
It might be an egregious conflation to say that 'all practices of ISIS' are enshrined by law in Saudi Arabia, but it's maybe a bit naive to think the two don't share some problematic ideology. I think recent leadership has been making some changes to bring SA more in line with Western liberal values, but hostile (religious-based) policy towards women[0], LGBTIQ+[1], and apostate Muslims[2], is still heavily enforced. The road to reform on any of these fronts is a long one.

To be fair, the Japanese strategy also relied on heavily fortifying the territory they took and then daring the Americans to take it back. With another 6-12 months they might have had time to build up much stronger defenses. If every island was as bad as Iwo Jima/Okinawa it's an open question how long the American public would have supported the war. We ended up using nukes for multiple reasons as it was, one of which was doubt that the American public would stomach the cost of an invasion of the Japanese home islands.
The section on Altitude and Watershed quality is really interesting.
Iran is at best a theocracy masquerading as a democracy. The Ayatollah is a dictator for life and approves any 'democratic' candidates. As for why Iran is an enemy it's mostly to do with the hostage crisis, an act of international barbarism. Under the Shah US-Iran relations were actually quite good. The second thing is the idea of destabilizing other countries in the region through exporting the 'islamic revolution'.

This is a hill I find myself frequently fighting (and losing on): webhooks are terrible to maintain, because they start from the premise "this never breaks" and thats about where development in an organization stops.

The only event API I ever want is notifications there's new data, and then an interface by which I can query all new data which has arrived by some sort of index marker - because this is fundamentally reliable. It means whatever happens to my system, I can reliably recover missed events, skipped events, or rebuild from previous events.

And this is in fact exactly how something like Kafka actually works! Complete with first-class support for compacting queues to produce valid "summarized" starting points.

Any streaming system essentially should never start as a streaming system - it should start as a slow-path pull-based system, and have a fast-path push system added on top of it if needed - because then you've built your recovery path already, rather then what happens way too often which is just "oh yeah, we'll develop that when it breaks".
Again, leader = master here right? As in the node that can both read & write.

So this is different from multi-master in that one node is preferred until it's not, as opposed to any node being able to accept writes at any time.
As the author of https://staxlang.xyz/ for me, it's pretty far away from machine code. Golfing languages tend to be pretty impractical, as they optimize for program size above all else. That includes readability, performance, and consistency.

Machine code can be practical. To me, code golf is just pure programming, for no practical purpose. It's not for everyone, or even most people. It's more like art than practical programming. Except it can be competitive? Not sure really.

It can also be fun just to build something, without the risk that you might accidentally get a significant number of users.
The "Enter Password" at the bottom of that page is simply great.
The size of the steering wheel is so fascinating to me. I suppose at this time you didn't make sharp 90 degree turns with a horse and carriage, and therefore the use case of smaller turning circles was still unknown.
If it makes you feel any better they use their own custom notifications in windows as well and it suffers all the same issues (doesn’t respect dnd, gets covered by/covers native notifications, etc)

I discovered you can say ‘hey Siri volume N’ where N is the volume percentage. 70 usually works out for me for normal listening.

Not that I disagree with your main point; I refuse to use Siri in public, like you say, it’s humiliating.
Ok, yeah. We obviously can't get rid of a curvature. I think SE answer [1] explains what I assumed incorrectly to mean 'locally flat'. I meant it so that you can make a metric look like Minkowski metric at a point p, basically existence of normal coordinates. Of course second derivatives (and thus curvature) won't vanish in the neighborhood. Case closed, thank you.

I do not see these two as being in opposite to each other, or more specifically i do not see the second contradicting the first.

Firefox's owners can be corrupted and focused on the wrong things (i'm not saying they are, btw - actually i do not exactly agree with the idea of Firefox having "owners" in the first place, at least not the same way as Microsoft owns Windows) and have the wrong priorities. If you consider that Firefox needs to do things right, you may want to prioritize making Firefox "good" (whatever that means, e.g. making it the fastest and/or most secure browser and/or giving the most control to the user, etc) and then (in terms of priority) try to promote and create a marketing campaign that focuses on those aspects of Firefox. It isn't like marketing is all about style. And even if it focused on the style, one might disagree that the proper way to go about it is to copy Chrome.

There are many ways to interpret these two paragraphs as not being contradicting.
Please developers, don't let this become a thing.
Hey TomNguy, I found your product cool! In my mind, a better way to solve this specific commenter's pain point of employees not being responsive would be to create a notification on their app that lets unresponsive employees know they forgot to set their status for tomorrow. I don't mean to pass on a feature request as I'm sure you have a million of them; I just think this idea is better for this customer than telling said employees they "can't complain about not getting access to your office"
In real workloads ARM executes only slightly more instructions than x86.
I can see that. Both Caesar and Catiline sought power through extra-constitutional means. Caesar surely took notes (and Cicero thought Caesar even secretly supported Catiline). They were all in the senate together under Cicero's consulship, after all.

They were all hyper-ambitious patricians. The conservatives (optimates -- the best) regarded the populares (the faction Caesar aligned himself with) as people willing to threaten the order of the state by pandering to the masses. This is what Catiline did, and Caesar too. This was the basic threat that the Gracchi brothers appeared to present in agitating for land reform and something that underscored Caesar's political agenda (he had to find land for his loyal veterans).

2015 MBPs are great Linux machines, everything is supported except for some webcams, but there are out of tree drivers that work perfectly. Sound via Pulseaudio or Pipewire works well out of the box, too.

I run Wayland, and libinput[4] gives you pretty much all of the trackpad features and gestures you get in macOS like adaptive acceleration, tapping, multitouch gestures etc. Xorg works well, as well, except its gesture support is limited compared to Wayland's.

Depending on the model, WiFi has open source and closed source driver support that both work well, and have Bluetooth support.

This is a good reference to see how well your model is supported on Linux[1]. This project will remap your keyboard shortcuts to match the ones you're familiar with from macOS[2].

I've also posted about making Linux and Plasma Desktop act like macOS on HN[3].

The M1 can indeed run more instructions at once and branch those instructions better, but it comes at a cost.

That cost is that it's larger. At the same power AMD can stuff twice the cores, with similar though lower single core performance. That also means lower clock speeds, and there are less instruction level guarantees you can rely on thus somewhat more complexity is necessary.

And no, it's not really a beast. It's competitive.
Yea, I actually thought that’s how they worked when I first got them, I remember seeing a demo where that was done, but it was probably either concept art or a different product.
It's not "indirection" because most kids can't consent. The ones who can - according to the Mature Minor Doctrine - must also have evaluation+approval from a healthcare provider.

Adults can usually tell the difference between can, should, and must but many kids implicitly trust adults, especially those who seem important - see: Milgram experiment for an adult example - so an official postcard may be taken as a demand instead of an opportunity.

Similarly, the police shouldn't talk to your kids without your consent either. It protects everyone.

It's good to hear that the situation is improved. Even so, I'd still try to wire it up whenever possible because diagnosing printer problems are the most boring kind of problem ever in the history of mankind. If I ever have printer problems I want to minimise the variables.
Do number of instructions even matter on modern chips? intel/amd chips don't even use x86 since they break it down in to their own internal RISC via a translation layer?

If you have a CPU that breaks one mega x86 instruction in to 100 internal instructions, is that any better than 100 external instructions generated by a compiler?

I don't know if the reason brew is so slow anymore is because they changed the default 'brew search' command to query github for a bunch of matching regex open issues and return those results or what. I don't want it looking for packages upstream, just search locally. If I want the latest list of packages not cached on my system, I'll just run 'brew update'. And if 'brew update' is so slow now just due to the size of the .git repo growing so large over time.

1) I'd consider MIT, CMU, Stanford, Berkeley as the top, as well as the top schools that aren't CS top schools but are still well regarded (Columbia CS PhD, Cornell CS PhD, Princeton, Harvard). University of Washington and UIUC among the top as well, as well as Georgia Tech, UMass Amherst, and UMD, though those are hardly of the same recognition outside of the field as the other ones that are well regarded.

2) I talked to a 7 (off the top of my head) professors at a few institutions about this as well as a 5 PhD students, one from my undergrad (people from my undergrad don't generally go to top schools for PhDs in CS). All of their profiles had multiple first author papers and none of them got into any other top school than the one they went to. Ofc, the ones that went to top undergrads did get into multiple. The circles your professors runs around in at state schools absolutely matter. Mine is very well regarded in the research niche but that doesn't transfer well to even adjacent research niches.

I got a 3.92 at my undergrad, CS GPA around 3.98 or so.
Well, no. Intel stalled at the design side. Even with superior processes to AMD they weren't competitive, and their CPU designs had only small changes for a decade.

Not related to the game, but travel protip: pre-request the “Asian Vegetarian” meal option whenever available. It’s frequently prepared by a local restaurant rather than some giant megaindustrial catering supplier.

Everything old is new again.

Anyone remember AOL and its entirely contained ecosystem? I think the first two searches my 12 year old brain came up with were Superman (took me to DCs AOL listing) and Playboy (which took to long to load for me to risk someone walking in).

Everything is terrible, but everyone knows this and hates it. Eventually something will happen (and this feels more likely as facebook takes put these insane “we support regulation” ads) that will make things marginally better. Governments are designed to move VERY slowly, and they’re the only things capable of taking on megacorps.
Out of curiosity what about having those features changed your opinion? I'm in a similar camp to your original viewpoint and what stood out from your story is that it doesn't seem like you discovered any significant damage so much as just gained new features to limit what others labeled as damage on the off chance they're right. Not trying to be confrontational but I feel like, when I lurk here, my view is the minority and so I think it's interesting to hear the thought process of a convert from my camp.

> Node has a lot of very stupid (i.e. ignoring reality) decisions, and by extension, being exposed to this for a long enough period of time, tends to affect the developer as well.

As a developer who used Salesforce for nearly a year once upon a time, I can confirm that exposure to stupid decisions in a platform can affect the developer.

Node, though? Could you expand on the stupid decisions in Node? And does Deno address those?
You are probably right. I have a lot of raspberry Pi Pico, which I've been programming with Python, and so that just carries over when I tool around with Arduino. From that direction, it is easy to assume Python is the more popular one.

C/C++ should probably outperform Python. Either way, op should feel at home, since they listed both languages.
There are two routes Apple could have take for the 2nd Apple Silicon chip.

1. Apple could take the M1 design and just increased the number of Firestorm CPU cores (along with everything else). It would be an M1X, along exactly the same lines as the A10X and A12X.

2. Apple could create a next generation design with the eight or more of same Firestorm-next cores we will see in the A15 Bionic. Call it the M2.

The M1X would have been easy enough for apple, and I think if it existed, we would have seen it by now. But it would have suffered from many of the same flaws that the M1 suffers from. The inability to drive more than two displays being a notable one.

I think apple decided to skip the M1X and go straight for the M2.

But it's a little too early for the M2 to launch. As it will be using the same cpu and gpu cores as the A15, it kind of needs to launch at around the same time at the earliest; Maybe a month or two earlier as they don't need to stockpile as much silicon for the M2s.

My prediction is that we might see an M2 announced in August or September.
yes, but many x86 instructions get cracked into multiple risc-like instructions internally - those things that the ARM can't do likely get converted into what are essentially multiple ARM-like instructions.

Theoretically this means that x86 instructions are smaller (with better I$ performance), at the expense of larger/slower instruction decode
While I’m glad that SaveVideo is back, it doesn’t hide the fact that the Admins make really stupid and user hostile decisions and it was entirely within the realm of possibility that they’d ban SaveVideo.
FYI, rclone is built on top of rsync. So you’ll have a good understanding of how it works underneath. Think of it as rsync + remote storage and service mounting tool. The nicest part about rclone IMO, is the plethora of services it can mount, so if you have compatibility issues (which you shouldn’t) then you could choose another service.
Not very interesting.

Give me a break. These articles have journalists quoting medical experts speculating on possible and past documented problems resulting from a rushed vaccine process, and the (then factually unjustified) lab leak theory that experts in field also declined to give airtime to because there was no evidence to support it.

It's in no way equivalent or even comparable to what GOP leaders around the country are doing right now. 99 percent of people dying of COVID right now are unvaccinated and for huge numbers of those people it was a choice. That's blood on the anti-vax crowd's hands plain and simple.
That's commonplace in audio production programs/plugins actually.

Yeah, he's also unwilling to admit that his early retirement failed despite having had to begin working again.

The goal of retirement is to have enough that you will be able to avoid working even if some things go wrong. Otherwise you're not ready to retire.

> Perhaps some public high schools do not make some people fully ready for Caltech

which implies that they, in general, do much better than I'm suggesting. But an objective test would be, does a public high school diploma command more pay? What does it mean in the job market?
Ultimately, it depends on the type of risks you’re trying to mitigate and the type of skills you have to earn again.

If you’re a software developer (or a plumber or a CPA etc) you can always get back into the workforce after some amount of time. If it takes you 1 year to leetcode and find a new job, you just need to keep 1 year of expenses as cash on hand.

> It takes the young Dutchman roughly eight hours to collect enough fuel to fill the tank and ride his moped for about 20 km. This is not comparable to the convenience of filling up a gasoline tank or charging an electric battery, but that is exactly the point.

This shows the true cost of using fossil fuels has to be payed by something else (our planet) but not by its users.
I meant in a hexagonal coordinate system, like the hexagon tiles in games.
I would argue that it is better because it gives you the ability to tier your hardware higher. Low end SKUs like mobile hardware can get less physical components and more abstraction while higher end SKUs like server hardware can have more physical components and less abstraction for greater performance. All still operate under the guise of the highest-common-denominator.

It is a lot easier to abstract away complex instructions from x86 (when performance isn't needed) than it is to add physical hardware instructions to ARM (when performance is needed).
It's legitimately surprising that you would double down here instead of realize that your tooling is recompiling your code and showing you the result continuously, making your workflow essentially the same as the people you seem to feel so superior to.
This really happens.
