Ask HN: How do CPUs handle bad transistors?
I've read that current CPUs have more than a hundred million transistors per square millimeter. I can't imagine that every single one of those works perfectly and will stay working perfectly for the entire lifetime of the CPU.

How do we design CPUs that don't die or stop working properly when one out of a hundred million transistors fails?

$9 or $9.50 for a beer is the most you can charge in some places. You'll suddenly put people off if the beer is $10.

What you can do is charge $9 for a 14 oz beer (previously 16 oz), which is roughly like charging $10.28. Can only do that trick once, though. Or you can increase the size to 24 oz and charge $14.

No, installers should not be automatically modifying your profile or your PATH. That would be overstepping significantly, and violating the expectations of most users.

Swatting has a predictable risk of mortality thus the criminals don't get off morally because their victim died a different way than expected.
Completely agree. There is a tradeoff between letting user do everything themselves such that they know exactly what's happening in their system vs just doing it for them and making sure they don't make a mistake.

Perhaps a better implementation would be a choice:

It's rare that a science article makes me sad, but this one did. Does anyone else out there remember Iridium flares? They were sun glints from the antenna panels on the first generation Iridium satellites.

Yeah if you’re writing a standard library or a parser or maybe a database query optimizer, but if you aren’t writing code about code, then it’s probably not the way to go.
Sounds like a good idea, except we have a hard time getting really large things off the ground. If you notice the size of the James Webb with its unfolding primary is still really small compared to other terrestrial based mirrors. It's mind boggling to look at the size of those mirrors, and then easily missed is the comparison to the former dish at Arecibo. Arecibo doesn't even fit in the image and is just an arc that looks like the background.

What's hacked together about using NLBs and EC2 instances with statically launched Docker instances on each EC2 instance driven by Terraform and Cloudformation? That's all pretty standard AWS stuff. I'd guess from having run that sort of infrastructure in the past they have less custom tooling than the average K8s shop. It's certainly easier to understand the failure modes.

Plus this doesn't look like a heavy microservice environment. With a monolith or small number of services that aren't changing often with dedicated LBs and autoscale groups I'm guessing their environment is fairly easy to monitor and manage.

> it’s unlikely this particular transaction will raise their eyebrows

Considering it's national news, would they really not investigate it? It seems waaaaay too conspicuous and high-profile to be an attempt at money laundering.

And from what I understand, auction houses are now required to file a 1099-K with the IRS so that the seller can't hide from taxes, or hide their identity.

So even without the news, something tells me that filing capital gains tax on a ~3,000,000% return for a video game cartridge is going to flag a little bit of suspicion... ;)
Nice this is super useful, but as a dev, it is kind of difficult to justify paying for this when there are free boilerplate repos that bring me about 50% there already.

The other 50% like adding custom elements to the stack can be variable in difficulty depending on the plugin.

The drag and drop editor is interesting and I think it would be useful as a standalone tool to a different audience (e.g. no-code devs). The emphasis on codebase seems like the target audience is React devs. However, this group often already have dev tools they use and are comfortable with writing code so I'm not sure how useful the drag and drop ui would be to them. I think this would really empower non-technical people to build a website that can later be worked on by devs though. That seems like a strong value proposition to use your framework rather than designing something in Figma or other no-code website builder.

Also the drag and drop feature is not super obvious from the landing page. The term codebase and template automatically makes me think of boilerplate and starter code.

One additional thing is that the upfront pricing + unlimited usage is attractive on one hand but on the other hand, it is difficult to convince myself to pay it upfront before having used the product. I would much rather prefer a subscription or project based pricing because it gives me the opportunity to leave at anytime and not feel like I'm leaving money on the table.

Cartridge is worth between 10 and 40 dollars and can be bought in every single retro gaming shop on planet earth due to manufacturing numbers and popularity. All the "value" is in the cellophane shrink wrap and magical Grading, highest ever despite this particular box having crushed corners. Its almost like the price had no connection to actual item being sold.
I'd recommend reading mcherm's comment again. He doesn't state that 90% could be pranks. He states "If, for instance, I were to learn that 90% ..." This is called "reductio ad absurdum", and is a pretty standard method of arguments. The statement from x86_64Ubuntu was that a report of violence in all cases is responded to by a SWAT team, with the implication that this is correct and reasonable behavior in all circumstances.

From my reading, mcherm is giving a hypothetical scenario in which the automatic response of sending a SWAT team would be unreasonable. The conclusion isn't that we exist in that hypothetical scenario, but that more information is needed in order to determine whether and how close we may be to it.
Brandon Beck and Marc Merrill were rich kids who spent millions on other people to develop League of Legends. We don’t talk about them as indie developers obviously, even though in 2009 they were independently publishing (and continuing to independently publish) because the formula of capital, namely a rich kid, is really successful in gaming.

It just goes to show how obnoxious, again, this kind of take is. I don’t get why people are so obsessed with purity of creation in games.

So you are saying that the employer is under charging(by proxy of labor cost) and the customer is over paying at the same time?
The problem is also the alternatives.

I could get a "burek" (pastry with cheese) for 2eur, it's cheap, it fills you up, and you continue with your day.

Or I could order a pizza delivery... pizza used to be in the 6-8eur range if you lived near the restaurant, so for 12, 13 eur I could get two pizzas delivered to my home.

Then "the plague" came, the local pizzeria was closed, delivery was taken over by "app companies" (wolt here), they charge percentages of the food price + delivery cost, so the price of the pizza has gone up to 9-10eur (to cover the wolt fee), and with the delivery fee, we're talking 20-22eur for two pizzas. After the reopenings, the prices in the restaurant are the same as on wolt + with drinks, we're talking close to 30eur for two pizzas and drink.

If bureks cost 2.5eur or even 3eur (50% higher), they're still "cheap", and people will buy them. With pizza going from 12, 14eur to 20-25eur, I can make a huge amount of very good food at home, and saving 15eur to eat healthier makes it worth it.

TLDR: at some price point (that I currently feel we're at now, with some foods atleast here), it isn't worth it anymore to eat out. Everybody might rise their prices, but less people will eat outside, lowering the overall profits of everyone.
Hmm well not really. I just mean something where you can run all normal node code but like this:

Restaurants operate with notoriously small margins, it is probably hard to raise wages and keep prices down enough to be competitive.
That's the point - you launder money by paying taxes on it.

Part of his point seems to be that you can manipulate data with code, but you can't manipulate your app's typings with code.

Expressing your business domain in types makes it more likely that a given change of requirements demands a lot of by-hand, non-abstractable changes to the code.

That's from the first amendment. How is Bitcoin any different than religion in this framing? Bitcoin is functionally equivalent to a peaceful gathering where people write characters on paper in order to agree on something.

> Freedom of religion isn't a thing because we care about letting people believe in truths, it's a thing because without it, millions of people start killing eachother.

This is very silly. What if people start killing each other because they are sick of being financially controlled puppets? Is that the reason we should allow things?
So the v8 runtime can be executed directly to run nodejs code instead of calling node on the command line?

We migrated from Leiningen to Boot and then to the CLI/deps.edn. Leiningen was too rigid and too much ceremony to write new tasks for. Boot was great from the "writing new tasks" point of view but the fileset abstraction and the pod pooling were both pain points for us. We've been very happy with the CLI and deps.edn and we're already using tools.build at work to streamline our (Clojure) build script.

We have a fairly large codebase (113K lines) in a monorepo with over a dozen artifacts built from about fifty subprojects. Leiningen really wasn't a good fit for us so we're very glad of alternatives.

> Because if everyone raises their prices, the wage increase then effectively makes no difference.

That’s only if everyone makes about the same, which is less and less true due to rising wealth inequality. As it stands now, there are people making $200k/year and people making $30k/year, raising prepared food prices isn’t going to chip off everyone’s income the same way.

A rise in interest rates would have much more effect on upper income buying power than a $5 increase in the cost of lunch.

If I have a bunch of node code, can I execute it in C# from the command line on a linux box without changing the code at all?

Also the async/await stuff doesn't really make node synchronous, because you still have to wrap your await in an asynchronous function.

I use sync versions of library methods and sync-request to make things synchronous, but I'm just wondering what the process would be to "disable" the asynchronous behaviour of nodejs and make everything blocking by default.
I think you're packing a lot into "face value". Off the top of my head, I can't think of a source that I don't understand better once I've read a bunch of it. Words get meaning through context, through expected shared understanding.

Dungeons have a limited audience. Meanwhile, I am positive that the next evolution of chat platforms like Slack are going to be the ones that grow better features for building. Chat bots are a manifestation of this demand. The dominant platform in the future will be the one that has first-class support for crafting scriptable/interactive objects and creating virtual spaces that you can move between, reminiscent of online worlds like Second Life, except leaning more heavily on text. In essence, the future of chat are MUSHes/MOOs.

To really drive this home, look at the story of Slack itself. It was created when Butterfield was trying to make a game platform (for the second time), and then they pivoted when after productizing their internal tool and it became wildly successful. I'd wager you're using Slack, Discord, IRC, or something in that vein for coordinating development right now. When your primary focus at the moment is already the development of a multi-user platform for conveying text, that's silly. Consider scratching your own itch and experimenting with an internal build that is focused on facilitating broader social interaction than what MUDs aim for.

> Similarly I've encountered a lot of fantasy that was all about world-building but where the book itself just went nowhere. World building is kind of easy compared to actually writing a novel with a compelling story. It seems to be common for aspiring fantasy authors to spend years doing the former and never getting round to the latter.

I'd actually be interested to read some of those - I wish there was some kind of standard media form for that. E.g. I enjoyed reading the Eclipse Phase sourcebooks much more than actually playing the game. And while I didn't actually enjoy Christopher Priest's The Islanders, I liked the idea of the form.

There have been Qubes-breaking bugs in Xen before, and it wouldn't be surprising to see more.
Since position and momentum (assuming that's what you meant, since you said location and position which are synonyms) have this sort of dual relationship, I don't think it makes sense to talk about entanglement with respect to them - they intrinsically have to be related to each other, and the position state (i.e., function) a particle is in fully determines its momentum state.

But it is possible to imagine usually unrelated properties of a particle being entangled, e.g. a two-peaked position function, spin up if it's over here and spin down if it's over there. So that's possible. Usually when discussing entanglement, though, we're talking about 'distinct'* particles. Electron A's spin entangled with electron B's spin. Not that it has to be spin, of course. But that's a common case because of how naturally this sort of entanglement occurs, for example, in atoms where electrons have to form spin pairs.

* This is complicated by QFT where particles are not exactly distinct, but exist as excitations in a particle field. E.g. there aren't two electrons but the electron field is excited by two quanta. At least, that's my understanding; I never went to grad school for physics, so I'm limited to undergraduate knowledge and some extracurricular reading.
Money laundering is not the same as tax evasion. The seller doesn’t care about hiding from taxes; he cares about hiding the true source of his illegal income. If anything, paying taxes on laundered money makes it look more legit.

The only party who needs to hide their identity here is the buyer, since unmasking them would reveal that no money actually changed hands. As far as the seller’s concerned, he wants to appear as if he earned $1.56MM of legitimate taxable income selling an old N64 cartridge to some crazy anonymous buyer.
I understand, it’s a great effort and I wish you success!
