CEO of a publicly traded company is a vastly different job than CEO of a private startup. Your job is to make money for shareholders, not pursue a vision. It's not something everyone wants to do and is likely a lot less rewarding for someone who successfully creates a technology company.

This is also my greatest fear. The lidocaine isn't much consolation as it seems like it could easily wear off or they don't get the dose right and you move you eye.. the stuff of nightmares.

It's a repetitive adventure game with shallow gameplay. I played it for about 5 hours waiting for it to become good before recognizing they copied the least interesting parts of BOTW and slapped a gacha-mechanic on it. At least the graphics are nice. I think gacha mechanics are bad because the random element means it's effectively gambling. The skinner box mechanic aims right for that sweet dopamine hit. The fact that Genshin Impact is so financially successful is deeply worrying.
I don't think your analogy holds up. If you race an F1 car alongside a commuter sedan, it is obvious to anyone observing the differences in performance, handling, traction, etc.

So going by results, if emacs was so awesome and if it gave such a huge boost, then we would see those results, and it would be trivial to convince anyone to switch to it.

Personally, I don't see editing text as a bottleneck for developer productivity. The vast majority of time is spent reading code, thinking about code, stepping through/debugging code, reading specs, etc. Yes, emacs can do those things to (as can any system that supports plugins), but my point is that we don't see a 'competitive edge' where all the most productive developers use X. What we see is productive developers using a wide variety of tools. Going back to your F1 analogy, there isn't a single sedan winning F1 races.
This is fascinating. Worth noting that there appear to be still companies doing this today: https://www.vanaalsburgbv.nl/en/zinkstuk/
I usually associate "call-by-name" with laziness. Isn't this more pass-by-reference that may happen to be implemented using names under the hood? Alternatively, how would you distinguish them?
There are reasons to assume it might be better. It dramatically raises HGH levels [1] which improves body composition (increases the proportion of muscle to fat), improves insulin sensitivity, lowers blood pressure and reduces general inflammation / oxidative stress - even in the absence of weight loss [2]. It also burns fat (obviously, since there's nothing better to burn when fasting) which for the vast majority of folks is strictly better than the alternative.

There's a lot of compelling studies being done at the moment, including the interaction of fasting with the immune system. [3]

> Last week, in a paper just published in the New England Journal of Medicine [4], Rafael de Cabo and Mark Mattson reviewed multiple strategies for fasting that have been tested in the years since Longo's study. The news continues to be very encouraging: intermittent fasting is good for you.

I'm not saying it's conclusive but to suggest there's no reason to think it might be better is disingenuous.

There's been some pretty interesting studies over the last few decades (few and far between, but interesting) - and the idea of fasting for heath is enjoying something of a renaissance in nutrition research these days.

Gotcha, hence the reason they've added instructions like FMA. Those don't require microprograms but do make things like calculating a taylor series faster. Right?
Most games don't need the latest or greatest hardware to run well, there's a lack of good AAA games that make the value proposition of new hardware much less appealing versus the days of wanting to build a computer to play Crysis.

I think the problem is the "democratization" of cancelation. Someone says something mildly controversial (some talk radio host said something terse about a neighbor) and people start lodging complaints against the employer and the hosts advertisers.

It's idiotic.

For those that do not care just about the faster CPUs on benchmark and tribal fights, and like instead to nerd out about architectures, it is still interesting to know whether Apple superiority is due the ARM architecture, the Apple microarchitecture improvements or TSMC process.

It is likely a mix of all three and of course microarchitecture cant be easily disentangled from the process.
I wonder what's the story for Linux here.

I don't think it is possible for OSS projects to utilize this big.little system: I tried to look at the instruction level details of the thread director but could find very little. If that's the case, the future of linux desktop/laptop is even dimmer than before.

Android has downstream (partially upstream?) EAS scheduler to handle this kind of architecture [1], but I'm not sure there is any move to take this up to the intel platform. As a linux laptop user, I hope someone does something.

I'm saying that the hyper-sexualization is a religion, or at least part of one. It is part of a series of memes that redefine all human relationships in terms of "Power", some nebulous concept that does not really map to the way humans interact except in a very weird misunderstanding of second-order effects.

Call it Queer, call it Progressive, call it Woke or whatever - It's religion.

Go for a while only reading, not commenting, and make up your mind.
I see now that my failure was in assuming an educated reader. And you're right that having an accurate model of the reader is indeed important for clear communication.
and this is where things collide with capitalism. Once your neighborhood is a part of "your space", you're much more invested in that neighborhood and its future evolution. However, under the "rules" of a capitalist economy, in which the private ownership of real estate generally trumps most other concerns, you have very little ability to control the future of your neighborhood. If it starts changing in ways you don't like, it's not likely (though not impossible) that you can do anything about it.

This is at least part of the motivation for people seeking out their own larger properties, not to mention buying land adjacent to them: it's not necessarily that they have any use for the acreage, they just want to be able to exert (more) control over what happens in the "space around them".

Note: I'm not condoning that behavior in any way.
The zero-privacy is frightening. The ability to (technically and buried in the fine print) push an update that makes your car stop at every McDonalds or accidentally brick your 50k+ device is also frightening. Heck, yesterday or the day before there were (unconfirmed) stories on HN about an OTA Tesla update causing collisions.

You can however retrofit your older truck with a more modern radio if you like. You can repair or upgrade a part of it (like a side panel) or just rip out the radio and install a new $200 dollar one that gets digital FM, Bluetooth and USB audio. Oh, that's another feature that doesn't exist in Teslas.
You expect that from 6 years old? They can't even read and write.

School age kids don't start at 14 when you can discuss strategies. It starts at 6 when the kid starts mostly confused and excited.
The balance between "what's more fulfilling for software developers" and "how does software generate the most revenue" isn't limited to gaming, and it's a topic that pops up on Hacker News frequently.

The author didn’t really talk about those practical concerns, the focus seemed to be about aesthetics. If you have a look at Milwaukee avenue it’s much lower density than anything in Europe.

I live in a much denser town and I couldn’t walk to the GP, school or train station. They’re all 30-40 minutes walk in different directions. And we don’t tend to just choose the closest services to where we live.
I kind of think you two are talking past each other here.
By 'encourage her to think about strategies', I think the OP does mean to show that they love and support the child. That'd fall under the category of encouragement, and they probably think it's obvious that you'd take care of their emotional and mental health while problem solving.

On the other hand, you seem to be anti-strategy but you say that you need to 'sit down with them, go over the subject matter and discuss it with them to ensure they understand'. Isn't going over the material a strategy to do better next time?

It may be that the word 'strategy' is just ill defined here. I mean, this isn't the military, so isn't a valid strategy the application of any plan whether it be as simple as "hey kid, study before the test" or "let me teach you English-comprehension personally"?

The major difference (Apart from the electrocution risk when doing extractions) is that in an EV fire, Hydrogen Flouride can also be released, which is an uber nasty colorless gas.

From what I was explained it is a grim mechanism, the gas reacts with water, forming a highly corrosive acid. In humans the gas reacts with the moisture in your eyes and your airway forming an acid and doing a massive chemical burn. You basically choke with burned lung tissue while going blind all at the same time.

Gas detection was a big health and safety component in an EV charger company I worked for in the past.
Less inaccurate than unclear.

Explanation appreciated.
It's to allow easy e-core p-core thread migrations in the OS. They probably weren't intending the p-cores to be matched with e-cores when the RTL was being initially written for the p-cores, which would have been a few years ago.
I mean, yeah, this is why people stopped using this pattern. But these problems are getting solved, especially in Fauna:

1. Schemaless/document/schema-on-need databases like Fauna don't mandate the application breakage on every change that SQL does

2. It's hard to reason about if its not transparent, but it can be transparent now, see below

3. Fauna is a temporal database, which acts like version control on your stored procedures, so you can easily check and revert any change

4. Fauna is serverless and horizontally scalable without consistency/latency impact

5. This was definitely a problem when you were occupying precious CPU cores on a vertically scaled RDBMS with business logic, but compute in Fauna or in serverless lambdas scales horizontally indefinitely
I agree. If I join a Discord group with dozens of channels, more likely than not, I'll forget about it and eventually leave. IRC did well with one or a handful of channels for each topic (maybe #topic, #topic-dev, #topic-botspam).

> discord just doesn’t scale well

I agree, and IRC was the same in my opinion. Small servers > large servers, at least of terms of enjoyment. Technical help-focused servers may be an exception.
It is literally the same thing then. If one is not causing outrage, nor should the other.
I'm an experienced Emacs user but not an advanced one. What I like is the ability to have code in one or more buffers and a shell (CMD on Windows, bash on Linux) in another buffer. In that buffer I compile with `make foo` and see the output there.
Used to do this semi-frequently, for years on end. But now it's impossible. Here in China, you need a 'health code' or you can't enter a lot of spaces, including hospitals, transportation services, hotels, etc. You also need 'mobile cash' or people won't transact with you. In short, you are effectively immobile and bankrupt without a phone, and if you were to have an accident you may risk failing to obtain access to appropriate medical services.
Meta: Interesting that a site called "low tech magazine" also appears to use "low tech" black/white dithered images... But I imagine it's a style choice.
It's still under development, this paper proposes it as an enhancement for Cassandra, so benchmarks are a way off. Given its properties it is likely to have similar performance to Tempo and Caesar for consensus (perhaps lower throughput than Tempo but better latency than Caesar). It is not dissimilar to Calvin for multi-shard execution, trading away the NxN sequencing layer (and poor failure properties) for dependency tracking.
This has to be the bomb.
If you take a look at top Twitch streamers for Genshin Impact you'll see a lot of them dropping big money. They see it as an investment to get more viewers (not as many people want to watch you play with low level characters and equipment). Additionally, top end streamers make the money back in subscriptions and donations anyway.

Then these streamers also actually prime their audience to spend more. If you see a streamer drop a couple thousand dollars on stream to get that cool new character, you might feel okay with dropping $100 to see if you can get lucky.

Streamers feed this kind of ecosystem, and keep it running. I suspect that a large percentage of the money that Genshin Impact makes goes back out into marketing and sponsoring streamers and YouTubers to keep the influencer engine running as well.
I think there is something about the bacterial population in your gut building up (like those bacterial population curves) or gaining the genetic material to process beans. I started eating a lot more beans some months ago. At first it was horrible, I was a fart machine. By the third month on beans, I barely had any flatulence.
I don't completely disagee, but the point is that games haven't really gotten better, gameplay hasn't improved for many games (look at Cyberpunk 2077), there are more and more HD remakes since they aren't making new good games that excite people (SC2 was never as loved as SC1 same with Diablo 2 vs 3), and graphics have improved but gameplay has not. I think Nintendo is the most consistent with good new games but thats not really relevant to PC gaming.
I do think there is room for discussing pain points - interviewing sucks and I don’t think most people would do it just for fun.

I won’t bad mouth peers but I will be honest if certain processes or practices really bother me. But I also raise those concerns as an employee too.

Would I say “yeah I work with idiots”? Absolutely not. But I have and will continue to be honest about pain points in a respectful manner. Especially when they are disagreements about things like priorities. I like to let enough of my personality come through during interviews that people know what they are getting. Even if I disagree with you I’ll approach it from an angle other than “you’re wrong”. I care about making things better for people a bit more than I care for money. And I believe we all have a responsibility to leave the world better than it is now.

If companies or recruiters see those as red flags I’m ok not moving forward. Same reason I typically don’t hide that I have weird colored hair and tattoos.
Feels like we've hit a plateau in terms of graphics for nearly a decade now in terms of "good enough" or "realistic enough."

Holy smokes.. Yeah, I didn't have a basis for the $10/share, it was just a random number since I didn't have valuation detail... but wow. So Armon's shares would be worth something like $535M more than the CRO's. I suspect he's okay making a bit less in W2 income this year!
The article is light on the actual function of the mattresses, but my reading is that they served to prevent erosion, and would prevent dykes and other structures from being undercut
TL;DR: Tiny laptop with modules so it can act like a KVM (HDMI and USB) or do RS-232 serial, high res display, i7-1195G7 CPU and 16GB RAM, touch screen, stylus, 1TB SSD.

Looks like it ticks all the boxes for a NetOps dream pocket PC. If you have kind of big pockets.
Your comment was more revealing than the article. Thanks for sharing!
Can you trust the opinion of anyone using that design / layout?
It sounds like you may have had a very unorthodox childhood and may not realize it. No, my parents didn't have access to, or knowledge about my things. As soon as you entrust a child with a document, it is up to that child whether that document survives more than a few steps out of the classroom, let alone whether a parent ever knows about it. That is a very strong form of autonomy, important to a child's development, that the app completely eliminates.

The stress you are talking about seems to me like the hallmark of an overbearing parent. Let your child fail sometimes. That's ok, they need to experience that, that's how you learn. You can't let them think that someone else will always take care of the things they don't. You're not doing them any favors by ensuring they always succeed.

Looks like they listened to indiegogo gpd sponsors like myself for this one. The best I had was the pocket 1, the pocket 2 I sold immediately after, the win3 is a lovely monster for gaming but this looks like a great move. Gpd makes nice machines and Linux is usually supported well, so I might get one.
I can comment on "3. How do you provide an optimal environment for your children to learn at any time?"

What we have done correctly is to have loads of books in the house, often maxing out our library card to get the appropriate reading/interest level for our children. My oldest is an avid reader (now 12 yrs old) and a benefit of reading so much is that she is an excellent writer as well. We also have throughout the house art/project materials, electronic components, legos, etc. They will often say "I'm bored", then (getting no response from their parents) engage in some art/project/making activity. When they do get screen time, we try to keep it educational (though video games have started to really draw them in).

Anyway, I'll post back in 20 yrs and let you know what else we got right!

Same for xor ax,ax on 16-bit processors by the way (2 bytes vs 3), and even earlier for the 8-bit 8080 (1 byte vs 2). The xor or sub trick dates to the late 70s.
Given that right now ICE cars are refilling at a rate about as expensive as colas (on a per-gallon basis), it seems like could be true. Seems unlikely to be true with EVs for a long time however.

That matched the allegations?

Hmm, refactoring, fixes of Flycheck errors (if the checker/LSP provides them), a Tramp mode that actually works.
Oh, and I would like to be able to continue editing my file while Emacs is doing something else ;)
I think they do it to reduce image size and therefore power consumption. Their server is solar powered.
Isn't a question of energy density? I mean how much cargo you can move per ton (or kg) of fuel. Container ships are enormously efficient by this measurement compared to most alternatives I can think of. How many containers could an airship transport, and how long would it take them to move it across the ocean? In theory they could directly load trucks with a sky crane mechanism. It sounds nice but very inefficient.
This is excellent! I have been looking for a timeline like this for a while.

If I could submit a feature request, it would be to add some mechanism for generating more visual timelines for specific themes. For example, I wish I could create a timeline of diet-related events displayed horizontally, with the x-axis being time.

Regardless, excellent content, and thanks for sharing!
A Dell Latitude 5520 Laptop, 15inch, 4k, 2TB SSD is $4,099.00 form Dell (after a 35% off coupon). A Apple M1 MAx 16 inch, with a far better display both in quality and display, better keyboard, same storage is also $4099.
99% of this boils down to two words:

_heterogenous computing_

It means that they have exponentially more knobs to turn.

And I stand by my point of ignoring insistence on speculating about unannounced hardware for no discernible benefit?

It's also weird that this is the second comment acting like outsiders know better than Intel when it comes to what mix of cores was best

Especially since this has proven to be an excellent workstation CPU:

> Overall, the 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs are terrific across the board, providing a large performance boost over the previous 11th Gen CPUs, and in almost every single case, handily out-performed AMD's Ryzen 5000 series. Intel's lead is larger at the i5 and i7 level, but even with the Core i9 12900K, Intel consistently came out on top.
