Came here to say the same thing. I've been in automation for a loong time and this article seems like an AI-generated jumble of buzzwords.

Maybe in adjacent fields no code and IoT is a thing but in mainstream manufacturing automation I'm not really encountering it. It feels like we just moved a bit past PLCs and proprietary field busses. The main added value is not normally in rapidly changing SW that's generated by non-programmers.
Well, the action of the Iliad kicks of when Agamemnon disrespects first the priest Chryses, then Achilles. The verb shows up in line 11 of the first book of the Iliad.

It really depends on how the business entity is set up. The line between what your salary is and what the business makes blurs.
There are tax law implications, but it's less about tax avoidance and more about not screwing yourself.
Depending on the business structure, one reason I know for setting a salary is because you're forced to. Certain taxes in the US (FICA) are based off of your income. They don't want you to set a salary of $1, for example, and then pay yourself via dividends to avoid taxes. The IRS states it has to be 'reasonable.'

Not sure about the US but I can’t believe there’s more Tesla’s than Audi’s on the road in the U.S?

I`m giving a free feedback session to anyone product or idea
Hi hunters, I feel like making something good for as many people as I can, and I think HN
Community is the right place to help other founders/launchers. You can ask me here or email me
at janetjujefesko@gmail.com to send me your beta product or JUST share your idea, and I am going
to give you my honest and constructive feedback about it.

A little bit about me:
I have participated in an accelerator program Founder Institute 2019 batch, and I won the second place reward graduating as the only solo female founder.

Yep, Nim is a pleasure to work with too.
Pardon the very general comment, but it seems that for every problem, nowadays people have to say it's hopeless, nobody cares, and nobody will do anything.

Someone the other day was mocking to me the idea that collective, voluntary, cooperative action could accomplish anything. Did they ever use the Internet (in fairness, they aren't in IT and may not be aware of FOSS - but Wikipedia?)? Every non-profit? The all-volunteer soldiers of the American Revolution and of today? All the democracies born of the people overthrowing the tyrants? The great reduction of smoking, increase in exercise and healthy diet? All the people that are wearing masks (~everybody, where I am)? The response to natural disasters? Does anyone critically examine these graphite-thin arguments?

It's not all or nothing - FB operates in society, and they do things and will do things in response to pressure and to avoid other problems. They aren't canceling all moderation tomorrow, for example.

The public can be persuaded. Why do many spend so much advertising on Facebook?
But how many doses are in men under 30? That is the right subpopulation to look at, not the entire population.

> Also, dissent is being amplified with software, which itself is not conscious.

I find it hilarious that you accuse me of using a strawman by arguing that because I don't have a critical consciousness [1] I am not conscious of what I think and how it relates to the reality we live in. You are literally arguing that because I don't agree with (in your term "have") the gnostic knowledge of critical social justice activists I am essentially an unthinking program.

I am sorry to break your bubble, but you can both be thinking and principally disagree with critical social justice (CSJ). Arguably the inherently group-based CSJ doctrine suppress individual thought in favor of group based identity.

My favorite Apple related What-If is What If Gassee hadn't been so greedy when Apple was interested in buying the BeOS?
Start out from a very simplified scenario: You do all work yourself.

It's pretty easy to see why this is inefficient. You need to duplicate equipment and experience. You need to travel long distances. You cannot work 24/7. Some work needs more than one person.

Since labor is the fundamental building block of a society you are better off if you can do something with less labor. You let someone else do the work because they can do it in less time than you can.

Jeff Bezos isn't rich because he is creating more value or wealth, he's rich because he is delegating work to lots of people. The CEO of a company is basically a monopoly no matter how big the company is.
but it does not work like that. because you know that you would get a lot more customers if you cut your price 20-30% while keeping your profit margin.
a smaller price is a great way to get customers on board and keep them, especially those that have only small benefit from your software. im paying for example for youtube netflix, evernote and so on although basic or none would be enough based on how little do i use them, but the price is low enough that it's ok for me.
i used to privately use pirated version of MS office before it was this small monthly payment and so on.
Search for "Ben Finegold" on YouTube. He has many lectures for beginners and he's one of the funniest GMs. That makes it less boring :)
I check HN once per day when I wake up and only rarely otherwise. I got the social media addiction out of my system years ago on a forum. It was horrible, I had to lock myself out using repeated sha1-hashing which required me to spend many hours of CPU time to get access back.

So glad to be done and over with that sort of addiction. Social media is as addictive as cigarettes or booze and we are way behind on treating it in the same ways.
It is a Khronos standard so someone must care -- its not like it is some backwater proprietary framework.

Sweden have had 125 reported cases of myocarditis for people that have used Pfizer and 44 that used Moderna. But then there have been 10,6 million shots of Pfizer administered and only 1,8 million shots of Moderna.
So quite clear that the risk is higher for Moderna, even though the risk is low for both of them.
I don't really care if it's called programming or not but whenever I've inherited LabView or similar type of project I spent more time trying to figure out what the "programmer" tried to do than it would take to rewrite from scratch in a traditional language/environment.
You don't need to do NAT66; just enable ULA. Interfaces can have multiple IPv6 addresses, not just one. So you will get your static local addresses and for outbound traffic, a random globally routed address from the currently assigned prefix would be used.

This is such an interesting phenomenon. I also see this happening with friends who speak english as a second language. They will say things like "Oh there isn't a word for that in english, its mean x and Y, etc." and they say that english just doesn't have certain kinds of words but often its that english DOES have a word for just that but the vocabulary knowledge isn't there (often even for me unless I think really hard because we dont use it much)
Luckily enough, I think we're near the beginning of a wave of alcohol-free beer coming to market in the US. Sam Adams "Just the Haze" and Brooklyn "Special Effects IPA" both came out in the past year and are pretty solid.

Deno is built on V8, and V8 requires glibc. So it's down to Google supporting musl, and I don't think it's a money issue.
If I go to Zuck's Family Grocery Store, and break a bunch of stuff, or just cause a ruckus, they can ask me to leave. They can even tell me that I am no longer welcome in their store.

If I go to a website, and cause a problem, I can be IP banned forever.

Why shouldn't Facebook be able to say, "Don't ever use our service again"? It's their service
Many potential side-effects might be invisible until it's already gotten to the point of causing damage. Think lung cancer in smokers that don't destroy the body for decades[0], or the amount of people with prediabetes that won't know until their blood glucose level qualifies them for a type 2 diagnoses.

> a++; means do nothing

only if a is a very simple thing. plenty of "advanced" containers actually do things ; in the "a++" case they have to save the previous state to return a copy, in the "++a" case they don't. If your iterator for instance contains a std::vector<int> to maintain some internal state for a multidimensional dynamic matrix, then in one case you'll get a simple increment, in the other a whole dynamic allocation / free which may be optimized out by the compiler in release mode and definitely won't in debug mode
Great question - we have more info on how we disburse at https://www.every.org/disbursements - but in short, ZSF hasn't claimed their profile and connected a bank account, so we'd disburse via our partner NFG. We treat crypto donations like those made via bank account, meaning we cover the 2.25% fee that NFG charges, so (100% of your crypto donation - broker fee (<=1%)) goes to ZSF.
As far as I know all new model luxury cars like Audi and Mercedes come with automatic braking for frontal impacts. So considering the number of Mercedes sold in the last few years, I think it's safe to say there are more of them than Teslas.

That's impressive. I thought I needed an intervention because the other day I managed to drink an entire six pack of Pepsi Zero Sugar in one day. Maybe I shouldn't worry so much...
It's also the consequence of being shackled to a literary technique common to these long form articles, for authors to write themselves into the piece, in order to make the content more relatable to the audience. It's a form of exhibitionism, where the author has to come up with something recognizable, but not too revealing or truly heart wrecking. Something milquetoast form adolescence will do in a pinch.

I am sure these sort of confessionals used to come across as audacious. Now, it's just a tired trope of the format.
All people here pointing that you still should get vaccinated because side effects of vaccines are still less likely :

Let's not forget that :

1-some european country are already past the delta variant wave (so you have to ponderate by the chance of actually getting infected)

2- we still have no idea what the new variant of the next wave of covid is going to look like, when it is going to happen, and if the vaccine is going to offer any protection.

as an example, living in France, my personal choice atm is to not get the vaccine... ( and in all cases i'll definitely check for antibodies before getting a shot, in case i already got infected without knowing)
Is it rational? The same concerns have been raised about the BioNTech vaccine, yet that is still perfectly in use.
your rebuttal depends on the premise that people don't view facebook as harmful, but you yourself have not yet presented any data to that effect -- criticizing the study saying that people view it as harmful isn't the same as providing your own study saying they don't

tl;dr his evidence, even if we assume the issues you bring up are significant, outweighs your lack of any, so I am leaning in his favor
> Wouldn't a better skip list have "down pointers" at each node so you don't have to retrace your work at each layer?

You don't have to retrace your work, per this example on 5 you could imagine there being implicit "down" pointers in that aggregate block, so you would go from L3 straight down to the data item once you hit that first logical element. This would be 2 I/O operations in my implementations.

Think:

public class SkipListNode
{
public SkipListNode? Layer3;
public SkipListNode? Layer2;
public SkipListNode? Layer1;
public SkipListNode Layer0;
}

Once you find the one that has all 4 non-null, you can just grab the item at Layer0 without anymore searching.
Both NICs and SSDs are connected to the CPU via PCIe: all SSD and NIC traffic already go through PCIe before they hit main memory today.

PCIe 4.0 x16 is 64GB/s, and there are 8 groups of x16 lanes in a 128 lane EPYC, for a total of 512GB/s or 4Tb/s, more than double the max fabric bandwidth of 200GB/s.

Lets take the original diagram from the video:

CPU
↑ ↓
Storage → Memory → NIC

He was able to use NIC-kTLS offloading to simplify it to this:

Storage → Memory → NIC

Now lets add a bit more detail to the second diagram, expanding it to include PCIe:

Memory
↑ ↓
Storage → PCIe → NIC

This third diagram is the same as the diagram above it, except it explicitly describes how data gets from storage to memory and from memory to NIC.

So the story for a request is something like: 1. request comes in for a file, loop { 2. CPU requests chunks of data, 3. data is delivered to memory via PCIe and signals CPU to handle it, 4. CPU tells NIC to send data from memory, 5. NIC requests data from memory via PCIe, sends it out on port }

If you squint this looks kinda like the first diagram where there were extra unnecessary data transfers going up through the CPU, except now they're going up through main memory. My proposal is to skip main memory and go straight from storage to NIC as in:

Storage → PCIe → NIC

The story for serving a request would now be: 1. request comes in for a file, 2. CPU tells NIC: "ok get it from SSD 13", 3. NIC requests data from SSD via PCIe, sends it out on port, 4. cpu & main memory: crickets
I think the poster was probably asking why anyone would tell a future employer this information.

It also depends on how much future politicians neuter the benefits, via some combination of deflating the currency and/or modifying Social Security to be more means tested. I would bet dropping birth rates will certainly mean some people will be need to take a haircut in the coming decades.
It obviously depends on your lifestyle, which is also why it should never be mandated. I call this the risk coefficient – it's different for everyone.

Personally, I've effectively been self-isolating since January. Why should I get a shot now? Especially if it's going to wear off in 5 months?
It's only not a problem for Apple fans because they've learned to accept subpar products with gimmick features and misleading marketing. Plus, the anticonsumer features being sold by Apple as security requirements.

And I don't have to delete any cards either, because for my daily driver I use actual professional devices that run Android instead of the "Pro" gimmicks without Pro features that Apple makes. Apple Pay is useless, so they get what they deserve: $0.00 spend from me because I'm not using it just for one card when I can use all of my cards in Android.

It's mind boggling how people will go to such great lengths to defend such a silly 7-card limit. Or all these suggestions that imply that carrying 20 cards is impractical, when they literally all fit into any Google device of same size as an iPhone. This whole thread and the downvotes are really a travesty. You'd think people on HN would know better than ignore the obvious. But I guess Apple fans are toxic and stubborn regardless of the forum.

Casual reminder that you're not supposed to downvote comments you simply disagree with, but only comments that are incorrect or don't contribute to a healthy discussion. But the Apple fans don't seen to care about such etiquette, and the net score of anyone saying anything that's not positive of Apple appears to be in the negative even here on HN that's supposed to be free of such obvious bias and fanatism.
Oh totally, I understand why its happening, but from a statistical point of view its hard to model. eg. If a car appreciates 20% in the first year, when it usually depreciates 20% does this affect its 5 year depreciation, or does it regress to the mean?
Yeah. I mean, it doesn't have to be a contest right? I mean, I can't imagine having only deep, soulful relationships.

My neighbors are nice! We make small talk. That's fine. I like it.

Maybe the unspoken thing here is that it can be a human thing to feel you're a part of a community. A safety net of sorts. If I have to leave town on short notice for an emergency, who's going to feed my cats? I could find that person via my FB network. One of them would or would know somebody that could. One of them could ping me for the same thing. That kind of thing.

This particular thread reminded me of another recent
thread: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28603650
- an app to help you form deeper relationships. Do you
need it? Do we need it? Do these things really help?

I feel like it could work to some extent, but I would feel really weird trying to get a group of friends to go in on it? Plus, I don't know. I'd feel like I was always trying to put on a show or something.

I feel like real relationships arise from shared experiences. Doing things together. Playing sports, writing code, gaming together, whatever.

I don't think an app about sharing your life can really accomplish that.
Some meals are so easy to cook that you could actually watch the TV while cooking, only looking away for a few moments, usually while cutting ingredients. (Then there are other meals where such approach would most likely result in burning the meal.)
Cooking and cleaning up from even a simple meal takes at a minimum 10x the amount of time that a 3 minute drive through a fast food place costs.

So you don't pay attention to behavioral interviews from companies you like? What do you think FB alumni would say during one of these interviews?

Have you ever actually interviewed someone from FB?

Or is all this about just filtering candidates for people who match your personal political views about, say, the role of advertising in society?

FTA: “The rate of complaints about Tesla, relative to the number of its cars sold in the U.S. in 2020, was more than three times that of the other automakers.”

Still a bad comparison, but I would think that the number relative to the number of cars in use of each brand wouldn’t be better for Tesla.

The real question would be how this would be relative to the number of miles driven (which, I guess, is about as fair as we could get)
It's not an "easier Rust", as you can't really claim to be Rust without the borrow checker, and you can't really claim to be Zig without the comptime and explicit allocation. They are different language, that took different decisions on how to do things, for different reasons.
Bitcoin doesn't fund anything. There are no promises. What you are describing is just speculative investment in general. There is a difference between speculative investment in general and a Ponzi scheme, what is it?
I superficially agree that most activity is speculation, which in some cases you might as well name "saving", or "investing". I also agree that actual breakthroughs in utility (DeFi, NFT, Metaverse, Web3) haven't materialized yet.

I only disagree on details. Like the use cases you missed, some of a humanitarian nature.

For example, still a significant part of the world is unbanked, and has no access to the financial system at all. Crypto, permission-less and only requiring the internet and a smartphone provides a solution.

For people living under highly inflationary regimes (Turkey, Libya, etc), crypto can be an unconfiscatable asset to protect their savings.

Immigrants often send money back to their home country, and by means of international banking, lose a whopping 30% in transaction fees. Crypto can do it for near-zero fees.

A hardcore cynic may call these just variations of "gambling" but to me these details matter. Further, like you said, the very point of any asset is persist value and ideally grow in value. That's even true for just basic currency. So this deep moral outrage that people are trying to earn money is misplaced, it's the damn point of any participant in an economy.
.co.de is just a standard SLD you could have owned and operated if you had registered it like any other domain first. A gTLD requires significant up front investment and review+approval from ICANN after demonstration you have the technical capacity to run it, as well as being an actual top level domain.

Not that every gTLD is the pinnacle of reliability (see this post) but your experience with a generic SLD isn't indicative of anything in this case.
Because a "better C" is long overdue.

(And no, Rust is not it. It's a great language, but its design philosophy is very different.)

Ironically, today, Zig is also one of the best C/C++ compilers around, chiefly because it "just works", even for advanced scenarios such as cross-compilers:

https://andrewkelley.me/post/zig-cc-powerful-drop-in-replace...

(Yes, of course, the actual compiler is Clang. But Zig wraps it in a way that makes it so much easier to install and use, especially on Windows.)
