I made the switch from full-linux to WSL about a year ago. I never used windows outside of gaming but I got tired of putting up with minor hardware/driver frustrations on my particular laptop (surface).

I'm happy to report I have encountered zero issues. In fact, I don't think I've even used it for anything outside of emacs/cli.

I am kinda surprised by this link since I've been using the x version of emacs this whole time.

Probably because it incorrectly characterizes the typical US banking system experience while throwing shade on Americans.
And maybe these cycles are how the planet self regulates?
Basically Turbo Pascal overshadowed all other Pascal dialects and then Borland got greedy, decided that Fortune 500 were going to be their main customers in detriment of the small dev shops.

Additionally Anders got fed up with the ongoing culture and finally accepted the invitation of former ex-colleges to join Microsoft.

So J++ was born, then .NET, and most of the folks on Windows just moved from Delphi into C#.
Thanks for this info. The duality of man in all its ugliness appears again.
Oh, I thought you meant the map which is visible if you zoom closer on Windy.

You get billed monthly, so really, letting it go for a few months is on you.

> The one thing that really pissed me off was how easy it was to set up vs how hard it was to take it back down

Hu, no it's not. Really it's litterally one click to shutdown an RDS instance, and always has been.

> But they wanted this huge list of things from me in order to refund it, like a super in-depth explanation of how it happened.

I mean that makes sense to me. They did reserve and partially used these resources for you, so it's only fair that you have to go through the trouble of explaining why they would let it go. If there's no downside everyone would just reserve a bunch of resources all the time.

From your comment, it seems you didn't even bothered to answer their questions to get a refund, I would totally not hesitate to charge you if I was in AWS place.
"Why not call it "Visual Pascal" instead?" Probably because the lawyers advised them that they'd get sued by MicroSoft.
You are clearly not a biker... otherwise you might have understood why EV motorcycles are years, maybe decades into the future.

If you refer to e.g Asia where motorcycles are possibly your only transport, then sure; your argument is valid. But this is HN, and in Western countries a motorcycle is basically a hobby. Heck, they are often even more expensive to run than cars.

So as to why EV bikes are not even close to being ready:

(a) The range is abysmal, and the availability of charging simply isn't there in areas that many bikers venture (away from traffic, hundreds of miles into the hills). Motorcyclists try to avoid the interstate and main highways if possible. You rarely see a Zero bike for this and many other reasons. A proper ride may be 12 hours per day for hundreds of miles, for days on end.

(b) Battery mass. The energy per mass unit in even the best batteries make it very impractical with motorcycles that really need to be as light as possible.

(c) Longevity. A lot of bikers own not just one, but many motorcycles. You may have the latest BMW R1250GS, but also a garage littered with anything from KDX 200 to DRZ 400 and Honda CBR1000RR. Those bikes can still be used for years to come, and it doesn't make sense to scrap them. PS - bikes are generally not that reliable though, but that doesn't necessarily affect longevity too much as owners love to tinker.
Fast where?

Borland compilers were basically the same, and if one cared about speed, the only way to achieve it was hand written Assembly.

>You're from Quebec and don't feel at ease using only French words? Don't worry! French Rust is fully compatible with English-Rust, so you can mix both at your convenience.

Interesting factoid: in France, most of the stop signs say "stop" due to the Vienna Convention on Road Signs and Signals linked below.

In Québec, on the other hand, most of the stop signs say "Arrêt" due to nationalism reasons. Bilingual Arrêt/Stop signs exist, but are rare.
I mean, there are, but what's even more important than going vegan bc that's not feasible for everybody right now, is to reduce total meat consumption as much as possible, rather than these token "1 day a week without meat" it ought to be the other way around, 1 or 2 days a week with meat, other days eating tasty well cooked and seasoned food, lentils different types of beans, rice, soups, maybe add these small cubes of "chicken flavorant" in there too which are made with left overs of poultry production and don't directly contribute that much to the agro industry
TLDR shaking the phone anywhere at any time with certain amplitude / frequency combinations will permanently damage sensitive components and make pics look like you’ve got ALS again

Yeah they actually go into more interesting detail than expected from a support article and detail how (not an expert so it could just be wool over my eyes Apple BS but doesn’t smell that way here) the OIS and closed loop AF work in that article.

Basically sensitive gadgets shouldn’t be exposed to certain frequency / amplitude combinations because sensitive gadgets rely on well, not being shaken out of whack.
Nutritionally it is more than good enough.

Please enlighten us, what’s missing nutritionally in chicken that you can find in steak?
I wouldn't mind the industry being killed. But then again, I'm only on the receiving end of the noise, stink, bad drivers, people using infrastructure for pleasure etc. I bet if I liked driving for fun or using shared infrastructure for pleasure instead of need, I might like it too. But I don't.
Eating a Chicken drumstick is more nutritious and healthier than a steak. That connective tissue is good for you.

Chicken breast has more protein, less fat, less cholesterol, less saturated fat. Beef has slightly more iron and zinc but is overall significantly worse for you.

That said their both missing vitamin C [edit: after cooking], so you need a more diverse diet anyway.
You mean features that were actually available in Pascal dialects, during the days when C outside UNIX was based on K&R C dialects like Small-C?

Also considering that most of the complains were fixed in Modula-2, made available initially in 1978.

As someone who worked on a DoD funded project, that's how you get the grants.

A very large proportion of physics, chemistry and engineering is funded by defense interests. Academic scientists span a large range of politics, from peace-loving hippies to pro military hawks. Many scientists just run on a heavy justification treadmill ("if it's not our group, it would be another one" and "this tech is not yet ready for deployment anyway" and "we'd be doing this work anyway, so it doesn't matter if we spin it as defense related").

Frankly, ethics is not really a strong point for physical scientists and is kinda selected against by the hiring system. Being able to take DoD money and sleep at night helps a lot to get tenure.
Perhaps we have the same glasses :)

Delphi did use to crash, but not that much. It had its quirks and we knew which ones they were and it didn't impede us.

We now use .NET5 and in some products. WPF for GUI, but new stuff is all made in Blazor.

Being on the bleeding edge means that lot of things in .NET was constantly crashing and not working exactly right, that tooling was broken.

You would think Microsoft would have more resources for something like Blazor. I have learned since that new tech is made by very small teams and accepted that as a fact of life.

Borland really could have saved Delphi, but I guess corporate types started treating their own company as a product, selling it around a few times, and vision was lost.

Personally, solving the motion sickness for long term VR usage is the first thing to consider VR for productivity improvements in general office work.

But I'm at the extreme end, The demo from simulavr made me nauseous. I presume even if for someone not being affected by motion sicknesses as bad as me would find it difficult to use it continuously for hours together right?
Plus electric motorcycles are loud, they make a high pitched sound. German motorcycle magazine "Motorrad" does a huge test with almost all motorcycles on the market in the Alps every year. They test a lot of things there, including noise levels.

The loudest motorcycle this year when in motion? An electric motorcycle.

This obviously not including aftermarket exhausts.
Well, once upon a time, Microsoft invested quite a bit of money in Apple to keep them alive. Allegedly, they did this so they could tell the DoJ with a straight face that they were not a monopolist, after all they had a competitor.

I would not be surprised if Google's support for Mozilla is based on similar reasoning.
I appreciate your post and i thought it was informative.

That being said i do think you could have made your point more succinctly.

For a while, it seemed like you were arguing semantics vs actually informing the reader.

Your point is valid. I'm not sure how to present it better, but I'd posit:

"Sparta, the city, was not 80% slaves. That stat only true about the state. This distinction only matters because the author is critizing sparta society on the basis that Sparta's seat of power was slave-cornucopia. But this is false. Sparta the city is mostly spartan citizens, making the author's criticism-by-sleight-of-hand dishonest"
Are they really though? A serverless event driven architecture system I’m working on literally costs less than £10 a month on Azure. Running full blown VMs instead of cheaper more appropriate technologies like containers or functions will always cost more.
So... as a pasta-loving American, wouldn't this affect us as well? I understand markets can be different but they're talking about Canadian wheat exports, not Italian domestic production.
This is really what it will come down to. Real interest rates are falling to 0. The fed can prop the markets up to guarantee any paper return or simply let pensions etc go bust.

At some point the economy will need to rebalance assets in order for interest rates to rise, but there is no preordained condition that requires this to occur.
Open protocols don't make open sites or apps.

Have the roads gotten more dangerous in the past 15 years?

Also the issue people have with loud exhaust is not that it draws attention on the highway; it's that people use it as a tool to be obnoxious. When I lived in a small town I would regularly get woken up at 2am by some shmuck opening up on main street. The entire town would be woken up. I had the urge to chase them down. It's not good for anyone.

And you can trust english speakers to properly assess the benefits of I18N, right?

> Writing a Laz compiler ? I'd say if we're being totally honest its a dream, not just "hard work".

As I said in the message you quote, internationalizing a compiler is not the same as rewriting it. If you consider that making languages accessible to other languages means each natural language should have its own programming language and compiler, of course it's going to be hard.

But that's moving the goalposts.

First off, you don't need to port a programming language to every natural language. Some smaller goals would already help. For instance, making it easy for third parties to i18n the language and libraries would be a significant enabler.
I'm sorry to hear that, but it's unlikely to improbable that "bike wasn't loud enough" was the cause there.

Throwing away the idea that people in cars don't impede their own hearing with radio stations and music; sound produced by engines is not fantastically directional to hear and mostly trails behind bikes (due to that being the location of the exhaust).
High pressure over the north east pacific combined with the Coriolis effect. Also the land sea border has a big influence here in this case in particular.
Ignore the motorcycle bit completely and just think physics

You could trigger this on any oscillating “body” if that body is oscillating at a certain frequency and amplitude combination.

It just so happens motorcycle engines produce that combination. There would certainly be others. tHe sustained nature of the shaking would also be cause for concern but I didn’t see any mention of duration in the support article

No, yet people use it and develop for it.
I would avoid DO and similar McDonald's-type cloud providers for anything production. Commercial or private.

AWS might make it difficult to figure out the cost (most common complaint) but the services are professional grade and their support is as well. DO on the other hand provided me an instance with an IP that was on a public blacklist and banned my account within 5min of spawning an instance with the explanation that "it was compromised and hacking" failing to accept that they provided me with the OS image and the public IP. Took me two months of arguing to get the account unblocked and balance withdrawn. Lesson learned; you get what you pay for. Back to AWS for me.
Yes because Javascriptbang was taken by a cross-platform TUI db tool written in Java
Disclosure: I work for Neural Magic.

Hi deepnotderp, as noted by others the speeds listed here are combining throughput for GPU from Ultralytics to latency for GPU from Neural Magic. We did also include throughput measurements, though, where YOLOv5s was around 3 ms per image on a V100 at fp16 in our testing. All benchmarks were run on AWS instances for repeatability and availability and is likely where the 2 ms vs 3 ms discrepancy comes from (slower memory transfer on the AWS machine vs the one Ultralytics used). Note, though, a slower overall machine will also affect CPU results as well.

We benchmarked using the available PyTorch APIs mimicking what was done for Ultralytics benchmarking. This code is open sourced for viewing and use here: https://github.com/neuralmagic/deepsparse/blob/main/examples...
You know, even if you go “off the beaten path,” you’re still just a tourist. Just one who is “off the beaten path.” It’s like the conversations about experiencing the “authentic” culture of a place. If you want true authentic, move to wherever for a couple years and just live it.
I enjoy traveling and I almost never do touristy stuff, but I have no illusions about not being a tourist and trying to get some sort of authentic experience that only scrapes the top of a deep culture.

There's something I don't understand. I've been hearing about "responsive web design" for years, that you should make sure your websites work well on mobile phones, because they are the majority of the traffic. I know that doesn't mean that the majority of phone usage is spent on the web, but still, mobile users use the web, and they use it a lot.
> I mean, there are consultancies whose entire premise is expertise on AWS billing, so the chance of AWS newbie-me running up many thousands because I forgot to switch off service A or had the wrong setting for service B is non-zero.

That line of reasoning is wrong. I'm sure there are consultancies that specialize in office stationery procurement; doesn't mean anything for your small use case of buying a few pens for your home office.
Only if the said support and code are not localized too. I'm using all my devices in English because it's easier to find help online but I can see why people less proficient in it would prefer localized software down to formulae and documentation.
Now wait a minute. If you say that JavaScript is an interpreted language, you would also have to call Java an interpreted language. Do you agree with that?

They both work in exactly the same way. Your source code is compiled to bytecode. That bytecode is then interpreted by a virtual machine. [1] That interpreter may then start a Just In Time compiler (JIT) to compile some of the bytecode down to machine code.

Other than implementation details, both languages work the same way.

Python also works like this, except it does not have the JIT. But it also has a compiler which generates bytecode.

And even if a JIT generates what we fondly call "machine code", that code is interpreted too! What the CPU executes internally looks nothing like the machine code that we see as programmers.

It's interpreters all the way down.

[1] I don't mean in the sense of something like VMware; I'm talking about a software virtual machine that executes an instruction set which we call bytecode.
The seems to be an intractable problem. To survive a technology needs to be a commodity, but for a product to succeed the business needs lockin. So there is no growth around standards by people making money off of them.

> It wouldn't be bad at all if programming languages were localizable.

It wouldn't be bad indeed, it would be terrible.

I wouldn't be against some IDE add-ons allowing you to see the keywords in your language if you wish, but the underlying names should stay in english. And the function names as well. Otherwise:

- you duplicate the documentation effort, which is already a burden;

- you make googling things extra hard

- people will use their language features, which means non ascii chars. Good luck typing "La leçon du père noël à l'école de la forêt" with something else than my french keyboard.

- IT is nothing but thousands of conventions glued together. And names are a hell of a shortcut to describe conventions. Break that and you destroy trust, reliability and productivity.

- you split the community. FOSS works so well because we can collaborate so well: we have one rosetta stone that lets us do so. Is has a basic alphabet, few rules, and is quite easy to learn.

I'm a french Python dev, and Python 3 does allow you to write variables names with french accents. I would never do that, and really hope nobody ever does.

As I recall, the "rich web experience" that Jobs was pushing for didn't mean it would be mobile Web for everything. Wasn't his idea that apps could be installed locally, but would be written in JavaScript and use a Web stack for the UI?

Given the popularity of tools like Cordova and React Native, and the absolute dominance of Electron on desktop, I'd say he wasn't exactly wrong.
That must be some kind of “trick of the trade” because Firebase originally had feature for limiting the bill with a hard cap and they even have videos explaining how to use it however it was removed later on. Now they suggest building a script that monitors your bill and nukes the project if something happens. The catch? Billing is not real time.
