Different times, different mores.
Not only that, but it's also a method of protecting your assets. You're protected for €100k per entity per bank.
Disagree. People simply hate their TV programming / browsing being interrupted. Then comes the privacy/security/resources concerns, at least for the online ad experience.
It's generally true. Both Rust and C++ (and Swift to a smaller extent) are both all about the "zero cost abstractions", but they usually aren't. It's hard to beat the C-style for-loop: they map really closely to the underlying hardware, and modern compilers are starting to become really good at auto-vectorizing them.
So the theory is that advertising is grooming the consumer just like a pedophile grooms his targets?
Both chips are produced at TSMC factories, so both have the same meaning. We do not compare here two different manufacturers.
> No. Driver work is painful but it mostly teaches you about the h/w in question; you don't learn deep principles from a lot of it. You just grind away, spec in hand, until stuff works. A lot of this winds up being "one damn thing after another". There's a good deal of craft to it, and I don't mean to deprecate it, but it's not broadly applicable.

I agree you don't learn deep principles from it, but I disagree that it's not broadly applicable based on your description. Grinding away with spec in hand, "one damn thing after another" sounds exactly like most programming people are likely to encounter in their career.
Or perhaps a better system in which rapists in positions of power aren't routinely given poorly supervised access to children. I think I'd prefer that, rather than just hoping that a job involving poorly supervised access to children doesn't attract people who'd take advantage of that.
Yeah, that makes a ton of sense. Cache misses would be less of a factor in the highly optimized assembly case.
Identity is not the sum of states. You need to transcend the states to find there is something deeper.

Yep, you can see the distribution of results (there aren't a lot) here and it's all over the place for the Ryzen vs M1 :

Ryzen : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=AMD+Ryzen+7+PRO+585...

M1 : https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Apple+M1+8+Core+320...

TDPs don't mean anything even within a vendor lineup, and doing cross comparison is futile (without properly measuring yourself the power consumption at load, then you can start doing real efficiency comparison or apple to apple).
It has got so many people from ruby and js crowds so there will be statistically more of them.
It is really difficult sometimes, because they are able to find doctors and quotes that do look very sophisticated at the beginning. Only if you dig really deep its possible to show them fallacies and as mentioned, this is really really time consuming
Not at all a JS expert, but a common user by now. I always set them after statements, but not after function declarations (C-style seems to work).

I think making it optional was a mistake because parsing and linting becomes more complicated with questionable benefit.
If even air would absorb/scatter the EUV beam, immersion in liquid would seem to also cause a LOT of scattering. That'd reduce the contrast, which sounds undesirable. (Speaking as a complete noob here)
Isn’t this just brokered deposits - which are nothing new?
Probably not, but it's a question of degree. The projects I work on don't get monthly requests to drop everything and rewrite them in Haskell/Clojure/Go but we do get them for Rust.

An anecdote: I recently opened a position on my team, and got two applicants on the same day who ignored the project description, and basically said we should hire them to tell us how everything we do could be better if we rewrote multiple projects in Rust.

Of course it's completely possible for a programming language to be both (A) really well-designed and (B) have annoying people among its community. I suspect that's the case here.
It doesn't do caching, which disqualifies it from many use cases unfortunately:

https://docs.podman.io/en/latest/markdown/podman-build.1.htm...

> --cache-from

> Images to utilize as potential cache sources. Podman does not currently support caching so this is a NOOP.
Personally my emotional reaction to ads is to go out of my way not to buy from the advertiser if possible.
It cost $11,000, lots of housed working people don't have access to that much capital.

Even if they're not 17.
I've never written native code for an apple device, but have some low-level experience on other things; my guess would be that idiomatic swift contains safety checks, i.e. predictable branches, but branches nevertheless - and that simpler cores with poor or no branch prediction suffer much more heavily than "smarter" cores from that kind of code.

At the end of the day, if all you're doing is basic adding/multiplying, you just don't need a fancy core (and hence: GPGPU, right?)

So this microbenchmark result isn't very surprising, although it's nice to see the principles in action.
The UK has great PR, that's a sure thing.

>> without being a racist xenophobic hellhole.

Well if that's the bar UK has set for itself then it's all good but it tries to have its cake and eat it too.
Well, again, it's hardly a big burden on me. It's the change I'm remarking on, not some absolute levels of hostility.

But for record, this experience is from benign and safe environments - playgrounds in nice part of the city, National Trust parks etc. I have certainly felt at times it is best not to appear "foreign" in less polished places, and probably wouldn't attract attention to being from Poland.

Funny story (in hindsight), from way back when - ironically before the word "Brexit" even existed. Around 2006 or 2007, I was (almost) mugged at knifepoint in South London. The muggers realised I'm not local, and asked me where I'm from. For whatever reason, I said "Czechoslovakia" - a country that hadn't existed for O(15 years). The muggers saw my old tattered phone and finally let me go, saying they were just messing. I sometimes wonder how that could have gone had I said I'm from Poland.
OpenBSD is well known to have a weak 802.11 stack that only supports a/b/g/sorta n modes on the most common drivers (Intel).

This is not because OpenBSD somehow sucks, it's because there's approximately two people doing all the wireless development in their spare time. But it's very understandable that someone would find it to be an issue.

FreeBSD probably doesn't have this issue, but it's not exactly trivial to port a device driver.
I’m torn. I’ve heard amd Linux drivers are crap. I’ve never really had any problems with Intel. But yes I’m waiting for v2. I want them to prove out replacing the main board between revisions.
This does not work in Denmark.
Banks know officially whether your bank account is your "living wage" bank account or not.
If you have a bank account that is not the 'wage deposit' account, banks have started charging a premium for HAVING an account with them.
I used to have several accounts, but since they've started with this extra-fee crap, I have closed all except my main account, because the fees would eat the deposited money.
There may be ways around it, but I haven't found it.
Not at all. Wealth will not make you content. It is a distinctly different process of growing up that will.
I got a 14 inch laptop with front speakers, and a 6 row keyboard. Since I came from a laptop with a 7 row, I actually would prefer to have one of those extra columns of keys that hp makes.
Nuclear has two enemies: the fossil fuels crowd, and the solar/wind crowd.

The latter doesn’t like nuclear because the plants are still big corporate driven endeavors so they don’t “democratize energy”. The socialist faction of the Democratic Party isn’t particularly interested in solutions to climate change that don’t require massive government expansion into the energy market.
what's in your way?
I don't understand why dependency management is hard in python.

In powershell, there's a PSModulePath which works like Path: search folders for dependencies. This can be modified within the session.

You import dependencies by specification, which might just be the name or may contain version constraints and/or a module guid.

Granted, powershell only got a package manager in the last decade. Not long enough to thrash out a contentious pep.
I think allotment is the right word. They are intended for hobbyists gardeners, or at their inception during WW1, for families in the city to be able to grow mostly potatoes. The size of sheds allowed varies a lot. Originally they were just meant to store garden tools (and potatoes). Many allow nothing more than 6 square meters.
5-10 years is a long time in web development, but not in strategy terms.
Thank you all Marauders Never Forget
I was hoping for a long time someone would take care of this problem and start the "pc-ization of notebooks" revolution. That is, make them modular, just like modular smartphones (that mostly failed I think). It means going in the opposite direction that Apple is going. It means a slightly higher cost - but overall smaller carbon footprint in the long term. I'd like to be able to switch the keyboards in my laptop - but nowadays they make it difficult to remove the battery (or almost impossible, if you happen to use newer Mac Books). I'd love to upgrade my screen - and screen only. Same for webcam, touchpad, WLAN modem and other peripherals. I realize there are challenges, but many of them (like detachable screen) have already been solved by another revolution. Sadly, the industry is going in the opposite direction.
Both chrome and Firefox do it. No clue why! I don’t have a mac to validate that on desktop safari. Firefox has these containers for isolation
There's both I guess. There are whole industries dominated by immigrants, too. And guess what, they are the ones now experiencing severe staff shortages.

Since labour frictions tend to be absolute, not proportional to e.g. salaries, they are always going to be less acute in better-paid, higher-profile jobs. It doesn't mean they are any less grating to the people who experience them.
That was entertaining reading, something for every manager to read! An excerpt from the summary:

CHANGES IN EMPHASIS AND DIRECTION OF THE ANP PROGRAM

The ANP program was characterized by frequent changes in emphasis and objectives, varying from a research and development program to an accelerated program to develop a weapon system for the
Air Force.

The ANP program was carried out in competition with other programs for national defense. As a result, the importance attached to the ANP program varied greatly throughout its history. Although
it was outside our scope to examine into the reasonableness of or
justification for the frequent changes in program objectives, we do
not believe that a research and development effort of the complexity and magnitude of the ANP program can reach its goal in an effective and efficient manner unless a certain degree of stability
in objectives is accorded to the program. (See pp. 31 to 35)

LITTLE OR NO USE MADE OF CERTAIN FACILITIES BECAUSES OF PROGRAM REORIENTATIONS

During our review we noted that various major facilities had
been constructed at a total cost of about $17,147,000 but were
never used, or used very little, for their intended purposes because of program reorientations.
The two largest facilities were
the Flight Engine Test facility that was constructed at the AEC Na-
tional Reactor Testing Station, Idaho, at a cost of $8,061,000...
That's not a general rule. In Rust iterator chains are frequently faster than for loops, and are just as likely to be auto-vectorized (or not at the whim of the compiler) as for-loops.
Perhaps they need the money liquid? Or the risk reward ratio is not good? Or they don't have a CFO that can do treasury and the opportunity cost / effort is not worth it?

Great lectures. He even manages to cover chaos theory. Philosophy students should look into this series for some biology orientation, in my humble opinion.
The US government absolutely listen to people when it comes to things like approvals because politicians need to get re-elected. Harry Reid stopped the yucca mountain complex after the govt had already agreed to it for nuclear storage.

Samsung's Next-Gen HBM3 and DDR5 Modules to Incorporate In-Memory AI Processing
I miss 16:10 for coding use, but that ship has long since sailed. It's not like laptop manufacturers arbitrarily made the decision. TV display resolutions drive the market, display panel manufacturers target that market, and laptop manufacturers come along for the ride. There's no competitive advantage to fighting that reality. The sooner you come to terms with it the better off you'll be.
Its not that I am sure of my answers and I do respect different opinions and I even welcome skepticism - can we ever be sure about something at all? But I wish they would take my skepticism as serious as mine, but I don't feel like this is the case.
I think there is a line that can be drawn between promotions and ads. There is typically not much lying/exaggeration involved in promotions. If it explains what it does and how it does it, it's typically much more honest.
Correct me if I'm wrong (I'm having a hard time finding the new rules), but if it's anything like the old UK Visa application (which also had a travel history requirement), it's not super stringent and something you have to prove with extensive documentation.
I mean you can pay for billboards with positive and encouraging messages... The question is, why don't you?
I do think it would be interesting to see how a neighborhood of these tiny homes fared on the market. With showers, and bathrooms -- of course. I question the viability once you get a partner, man... anything smaller than 2,500 square feet... I think that's about 250 square meters... starts to feel small for me with another person living there. BUT... I've grown accustomed to a home office, home gym, guest room...

Anyway, it's a cool spot! I'd need a shower, room for at least a queen size bed... king if it's 2 people. I wonder where my need for space came from... if it's something people are born with. Growing up my parents had a bigger house than I have now, so maybe that's it. Ha, I couldn't swing this, but impressive you've found a way to avoid mortgage payments. Good on ya!
Exercise your options, find an employer that values your rare set of skills and leave.

Sounds like you have a good relationship with your manager so they would probably be a good reference. If making FAANG money in EU means you have golden handcuffs (e.g. local market is much lower paid) then you might be searching for a while.
The law has been debating the "reasonably prudent person" standard in torts for negligence for hundreds of years. Possibly trillions of dollars in lawyer time has been spent over the last two centuries debating the meaning of this very term.
Hell YES, I've been using SCSS for this reason only, just to have a CSS codebase that didn't need repetition and nesting provided more documentation by default(given that there's a hierarchy in place)
Had you read even the first few lines, you'd see she anticipated and addressed your points.

Failing to acknowledge this points to a reading comprehension deficiency.
COVID, climate change, religion… these are topics that people are dug in, about their positions. It is hard to sway them.

Our energy is better spent on people who are on the fence, because their sources are weak (giving them better logic/sources might be enough in some cases). Also because they’re willing to listen, despite their skepticism.

Can you sway a hard core democrat or a hardcore republican to engage in constructive debate with the other side? Likely not, and even if you did, you’d end up spending an enormous amount of time and effort - which would likely be better spent on the people who are on the fence, for better ROI on your time.

Of course it sucks when the people affected by fake news are your friends and family :(

Makes sense. In UK it's GBP 85k for single account, double if joint.

Current best instant access rate is around 0.65%.
I love System76, and I use and love Pop!_OS (despite the offensive and undignified name). I tried to buy their beefy Thelios desktop with wood paneling (but they don't ship to my country). But... on what planet is a 1080p screen still OK for a mid-range or higher laptop in 2021?

For laptops, I've used Apples and Dells over the past 7 years and I don't think any of them were that low resolution.

I want to buy their shit; I even bought their insanely expensive $300 keyboard just because I think they are awesome. But I wouldn't buy a 1080p laptop in this day and age for any price.

Pop OS (as sane people call it) also happens to work fabulously on high resolution monitors! I run it on a 4-year-old 32" 8K Dell UP3218K monitor at 200% pixel doubling, and it looks fantastic — much better and way crisper text than any Mac (e.g., my work M1 Mac Mini with hyperexpensive 6K XDR Display or my 27" 5K iMac Pro).

For that Dell display, 200% is perfect, but Reddit says fractional scaling also works great on Pop OS. So it's not like they have some technical reason they need to use blurry low-res displays.

It's just kind of weird. I would absolutely buy this otherwise, but the weird retro display is a deal-breaker.

(I don't give a shit about the off-center keyboard or numpad though, so I guess we all have our own individual deal-breakers....)

As an aside: Pop OS is really awesome, though — a great distro for those of us who were always rooting for Linux, preferred open source and felt like we were the kind of person who wanted that approach to win out and would likely use Linux, but mainly ended up usually buying Macs for purposes of convenience and just getting our shit done. Pretty much works great and stays out of your way. :-D

Ya, it is weird to watch as I am a dual American/EU citizen and somehow both Spain and the USA are failing to make the economic system work for 70% of their citizens. Spain has gone way too far in protecting labor, and the USA falls very short. And, both situations nobody has a real future... just low pay, less options, and less dependability.

I feel for young people in Spain, you graduate and then you get shuffled around in "permalance" positions by horrible bosses. The stories I heard were insane.

I hope you end up somewhere good. I've met a lot of Portuguese lately that are working remote for German and American companies which was working well for them.
What about N26, Revolut and all these new online banks? They don't charge anything where I live in the EU. I don't have 100k though.
Finally something to bring back to life those 16x16 px Windows 3.1 icons.
The Landauer limit is about 2.8 zJ at room temperature. Modern chips are ludicrously far away from that being relevant. A chip using 1W would need to do 10^20 operations per second to even get close; right now they do more like 10^9.
Also interesting: the new OCaml website is built with ReScript, the rebranding of ReasonML.
Is there much of a van dwelling community in Denmark? You could live in a van when you're not in the shed, if you wanted to be especially frugal. Or do a couple more years of off-seasons with parents to save money towards something else.
I’ve had this very conversation with work colleagues. We can go through the inordinate-pain of acquiring a licence, and all that entails, or we can choose open-source solution and be making progress by the end of the day.

There’s a dozen services I could buy for work that would probably improve things dramatically, for very little cost, but almost nothing is worth the pain of “get sign off. Get sign off again. Fill in paperwork. Wait n weeks. Get more sign off. Wait even longer for finance to do their thing.”
I think that we agree. My only point is that the warm feeling of aligning with a preferred image is still an implanted emotion.
Every language that has a reputation of some kind purity in one or more characteristics (Haskell, Lisp, Rust) is bound to attract some people that values purity over practicality.

It's not the case of the rust dev team, which seems very balanced. But I've met a few rust enthusiasts that match the worst of the fancy FP or Typing fan boys.
How is the AMD in terms of heat? Have they matched Apple in terms of cooling requirements etc?
Ask HN: How much benefit your AI solutions give?
I am working as a data scientist on a financial institusion for more than five years, and here is a thing that make me scratch my head. Are we in a bubble in widely understand AI task? I observe tendency of implementing AI solution whenever it is possible but I did not see for a very long time how much benefit does it gave. What do you think, from you perspective, it is a thing? Imo, estimation of additive value should be the very first thing that is done before ever think about implementation.
I have been reading message boards where Aussies are saying they are no longer allowed to leave the country for any reason. Isn't that like the old Soviet Union and North Korea?
Would you please stop posting ideological flamebait to HN? I have no idea what your ideology is but you've been doing this a ton lately and we ban that sort of account—it's not what this site is for.
