HP concluded PA-RISC (and all RISC, really) had reached a plateau. Wikipedia explains it well:

In 1989, HP determined that the Reduced Instruction Set Computing (RISC) architectures were approaching the processing limit at one instruction per cycle. HP researchers investigated a new architecture, later named Explicitly Parallel Instruction Computing (EPIC), that allows the processor to execute multiple instructions in each clock cycle. EPIC implements a form of very long instruction word (VLIW) architecture, in which a single instruction word contains multiple instructions. With EPIC, the compiler determines in advance which instructions can be executed at the same time, so the microprocessor simply executes the instructions and does not need elaborate mechanisms to determine which instructions to execute in parallel.[5] The goal of this approach is twofold: to enable deeper inspection of the code at compile time to identify additional opportunities for parallel execution, and to simplify the processor design and reduce energy consumption by eliminating the need for runtime scheduling circuitry.

HP believed that it was no longer cost-effective for individual enterprise systems companies such as itself to develop proprietary microprocessors, so it partnered with Intel in 1994 to develop the IA-64 architecture, derived from EPIC. Intel was willing to undertake the very large development effort on IA-64 in the expectation that the resulting microprocessor would be used by the majority of enterprise systems manufacturers. HP and Intel initiated a large joint development effort with a goal of delivering the first product, Merced, in 1998.[5]

> Debt repayment has one vital characteristic: it is easy to understand.

What? The US consumer debt industry would beg to differ.

I was hoping that maybe they’d extend the concept to a liability or something. In general the idea is that you’re borrowing a resource from your future self to accelerate a business outcome now.
A pretty good rule of thumb is that “…can be secure if you are careful” resolves to “insecure”.

I’ve had a walking treadmill desk for over ten years.

Whether it’s for you is quite personal: See if you can find somewhere to try it out for a few minutes, in particular try typing and using the mouse/trackpad while walking. My treadmill tops out at 4 mph (6.4 km/h), which is really too fast to do anything but walk. I can watch videos at 3mph, code routine easy stuff at ~2mph, code hard stuff at ~1mph, and to read hairy code I have to stop completely. I don’t walk all day, I also stand and sit.

Some things that will help you have a good experience:

• Get a purpose-built walking treadmill: They’re smaller and more importantly go much slower.
• Get a very solid, stable desk and put it on a stable floor. Any little monitor shake will make things miserable.
• The treadmill is not silent, so you’ll probably need to stop when speaking on video. It’s awesome to be in watch/listen-only meetings and put in a mile or two.
• A nice option I’ll upgrade to someday is a stand-alone walking treadmill with a wireless control, plus a nice sit/stand desk.
I agree that this is a bothersome trend, but the use of pip to install system level packages is one of those user experience-degrading custom installation mechanisms. From that perspective, I don't have a problem with this refusal, I actually think it's a good thing, for the reason mentioned in the first comment:

> In the long term we want the fact that the AWS CLI is written in Python to be more of an implementation detail than a feature.

For Arch, there is a PKGBUILD for the AWS CLI v2 on AUR [1], which produces a package that can be installed, like any other, with the system package manager.

There seem to be some problems with packaging it for Fedora, but those issues look orthogonal to the decision not to publish on PyPI [2].

If that happened, many people who today hold exactly zero crypto would hold a non-zero amount. Looking at today’s ratio is not helpful for that hypothetical future.
Aws cli v2 installs it's own self contained python so it shouldn't be tied to any system install.

Frankly it's good to see devs not ceding to the internet rage mob. I remember before aws hired the main guy behind boto and I had to install 10 different tar.gz tools from 10 different aws teams and install all of them and setup 20 different env variables.

Running their installer isn't difficult and I've included it in our docker and ami builds easily. If you want a fixed version, download whatever from their repo and mirror it to your internal storage and you can always install from there and ensure you're running the exact version you like.

This response (from a year ago) seems perfectly reasonable and explains in detail a good number of reasons why they aren't using pip: https://github.com/aws/aws-cli/issues/4947#issuecomment-5860...

According to [1], the rate for white men is far above the rate for black women. So this is probably a lie.

Also since when are black, men and/or women "age groups"?! If you can't tell race and sex from age, how can I trust your statistics?

I like the mention that luck/timing can be a factor. You can apply for a prestigious role where you would do extremely well but not get the position due to factors outside your control. An internal candidate was already selected, someone with just a little more experience also applied, you would be great but are missing one bullet point from the job criteria, the interviewer assigned to you does a poor job or is having a bad day.

Try and maximize your luck by making sure you’re well prepared for interviews and apply for positions where your skills and interests really line up perfectly to the job description. But if it doesn’t work out, try not to take it personally, just reset and try again.

Outbrain raises $160M in IPO at $1.25B valuation
Regular courts are already responsible. They can and do order illegal content to be removed, accounts blocked and users punished.

Some new legislation in Germany requires Facebook to also proactively remove posts from users that have been reported and are "obviously" illegal, even without waiting for a court order.

But Facebook goes even beyond that and uses standards that are stricter than current laws, and processes that are simpler, harsher and stricter than the usual court proceedings. The court judgement in the article limited that practice a bit.

You may be right in that the legislation described in the second paragraph requiring Facebook to be proactive may be expanded. I do find this tendency unfortunate, because free speech is put in the hands of a private for-profit entity that is by law required to be very quick about its judgements.
I really like the opening question because it is a forcing action that will allow you to agree or disagree better.

Caveat: Know what you're getting into for the money.

Usually, increased salary means a better, more interesting job. Otherwise, why would they pay you more?

Occasionally, it means "This is how much we have to pay to attract someone to do the work."

Realize both are possibilities, and be active in your interview to suss out which it is, and whether you'll be happy with that.

Sure but average household income is about 100k, home prices 1 million or 10x that figure. Even with the low interest rates you can't qualify for mortgages much more than 5x your income, even if you wanted to, so it'd mean there's massive amounts of personal wealth (e.g. 500k per home average) flowing into the market, which I doubt is the case. Not sure what factor I'm missing but it doesn't all seem in line with eachother.

Science converged on heliocentrism as quickly as it possibly could once we had instruments precise enough for heliocentrism to be the simplest model. The only reason the Earth-centric system overtook previous heliocentric theories was that it was most consistent with observable facts.

This is self-reported. Consider that 90% of Croatians reported they speak English, but this is mostly the level required to guide a tourist to the closest bar around ;)

EDIT2: well, no, my point still stands: the Total includes self-reported and vastly inaccurate additional language speakers. But based on how US is 2/3 of all native speakers, and that there's definitely many fluent-English secondary-language speakers out there, US is definitely not dominating English-language web.
I put everything in a Resilio Sync folder, and keep a full sync on at least two devices (a home NAS and a cloud seedbox). Resilio Sync handles pretty much everything. You instantly get hot backup, have files immediately available on every device you have, and if you have a phone you can download any file on demand, etc. Unlike other file synchronization methods such as `rsync --delete`, it keeps a version for every file modification and moves the file to Archive when it is deleted, so you can't lose data. Also, you get encryption without the headache by using the "encrypted folder key". This syncs an encrypted copy so other devices can sync from that device.
You know what, that's actually quite true. I realize that it's good to make sure everyone on a team has access to the same command line tools as well.

Just pip install the virtualenv and boom, cli tools in, for everyone.
The only place I ever worked with Itanium was an HP shop. They wrote their custom accounting/booking program in the 90's using Pick/BASIC.

It was fun to play around with, but coming from Linux, HP/UX left a lot to be desired. I'm not sure if there is a way to run Pick/BASIC on Linux but it would have made sense for them. Costs would have went way down being able to use Intel machines instead of paying a premium for Itanium parts.
Yes, I agree. That's why I described it in broad terms in my first paragraph, because it happens across all sorts of personal beliefs and identities.

Sounds about right. Nothing more to see here.
I think there are multiple hurdles to getting e-file to work.

The biggest hurdle in my view is that e-file requires an intermediary between the payer and the IRS. One of the benefits of this program is that it runs on the user's computer without a backend.

Ideally the IRS would allow people to e-file without an intermediary. There is www.freefilefillableforms.com, made by intuit, and we may be able to interface with that.

But for now we just haven't figured this part out yet, and we'd probably need community help to get there.

What sort of architectures (if any) got killed as a direct result of developing IA-64?

What country are you in where they're building giant sheds to hide cows from the sky? I doubt there's been a single cow in my home country of Australia that has been grown for food or milk and didn't see the sky nearly every day of its life. Even our largest factory dairy farms only only bring cows inside for milking. The closest thing to living indoors would be man-made outdoor shade.

I'm not saying that the entire animal food industry is humane; I would be very happy to see a permanent end to caged egg production, as well as the bullshit ultra-factory "cage free" egg production. There's a lot to be concerned about and we need much better standards across the entire industry. It can be improved. But all too often the descriptions of the animal food industry are just so divorced from reality that one wonders if some vegan activists have ever actually visited a farm.
Yes, it is. For that same amount of money, in my country, i could purchase 2 used cars, or just buy food for about 3 years (without eating out), or pay rent for almost 2 years.

Alternatively, such a setup would cost me almost 5 month's worth of net salaries (as a software developer in one of the countries that people outsource to) and that is before any additional shipping costs.

Such setups might make sense for people in the 1st world countries with decent salaries, but for me and may others who live in Eastern Europe or other countries that aren't as financially advanced, that is still a considerable sum of money.

As for your point in regards to looks - i somewhat agree, however i definitely wouldn't mind such a setup in a full remote working position.

Especially when eventually coupled with some high quality VR headset that would provide a passable resolution for programming (essentially at least an effective resolution of 1280x720 per virtual screen). It might be a while until that becomes feasible, if ever, though.
> Cryptocurrencies, even those that turn out to be highly plutocratic, will not turn any part of the world into anything close to dystopia A

This is only true iff the meme that "crypto is eating the world" is false, i.e. if a future where crypto is more and more enmeshed in an individual's economic life doesn't pan out.

This is possible and maybe even likely, but it is somewhat ironic to hear such a bearish case on crypto's usfeulness made by vbuterin :)

> First, start with some utility function representing the value of having a certain amount of money. `log(x)` is popular, because it captures the intuitively appealing approximation that doubling one's income is about as useful at any level: going from $10,000 to $20,000 adds the same utility as going from $5,000 to $10,000 or from $40,000 to $80,000).

This is not intuitive to me. Intuitively, going from 10K to 20K is not the same as going from 1M to 2M. In the former case, you cross the USA poverty line[1], in the latter, you can afford a couple more Lambos.

Is there something I'm missing in the use of the word "utility"?

Your data [1] shows that the number of black males imprisoned per 100,000 residents is 2,203 and it shows that the number of white males imprisoned per 100,000 residents is 385. The former is greater than the latter, in accordance with the quote.

For more data, we can also look at just the Federal Bureau of Prisons [2] and we see that 38.2% of inmates are black while 57.8% of inmates are white despite the fact that only 16.1% of the US population is black while 75.7% of the US population is white.
