But all large browsers happens to be American. It makes sense that EU wants to regulate this rather than hand over all decisions related to trust to USA.

For example, imagine if all big browsers everyone uses where made in China, and mostly just trusted Chinese CA. Do you think that would be a problem? Do you think the rest of the world would just let that happen instead of starting to regulate it? That is the situation EU faces right now with American browsers.
Running PHP doesn't necessarily mean "managing servers", that's what hosting providers are for. And static sites have their own limitations, so it's not that surprising that people prefer the flexibility.

I'd ask directly - can OP describe the target market? Is there even a target market, or is this a vaporware landing page, just trying to see if anyone will bite?
The pages are temporary.

And not really that different from the other free hosts out there (Github Pages, Vercel, Cloudflare Pages, Gatsby, Google App Engine). It's just easier to use.
It takes a couple minutes, at most, if you sync settings.
Do you notice that your visual center of focus shifts to different parts of the duck vs rabbit image?

While I strongly agree with the ideas of the article, the fact that you have to focus on different parts of the image to shift perception, altering the "bottom up" sensory data your brain receives, undermines at least a little the use of this example.

Journalists at established media houses are accountable, including to internal and external ombuds or public editors. They also rely on reputation.

Of course a lot of what's supposed to be 'journalism' isn't, like talking heads on cable news.
Also this anti-trust finale grande is also the result of years of resistance. They surely knew there is at least a chance that they may lose.

The only curious thing is why OPs comment is so far up. Do people really want to believe that story so bad?
Unreal Engine's Nanite technology has the same problem. They want to walk a LoD/culling tree but have to resort to the CPU just to schedule new tasks on the GPU.

I wouldn't be surprised if future GPUs eliminate this requirement as it will make all Nanite Unreal Engine games run a little faster.

Kind of like how a couple years after Quake came out, every GPU got fast z-buffers.

Been in a very similar situation. They found me (probably by crawling Github/LinkedIn), reached out to me saying they had a role that was similar to the stuff I was doing in open source (which was true), but the interview process was to go through the standardized pipeline (4 1-hour sessions is pretty standard among big tech cos). I went with it because total comp was quite a bit more attractive than what I was making at the time and opened a path for further income growth for not just me but my wife as well.

I've recently entertained an invitation from a FANG recruiter just to see what they had to offer, and they agreed to skip the screener round and told me "I was already approved for an offer, from HR's end" assuming the second interview round yields good results (this was for staff eng level, if it matters).

My perspective on this: a lot of recruiters and tech leads use automation to find prospective candidates and they tell all of them they found their OSS projects interesting etc, but don't actually understand how that project translates in terms of coding ability on an individual basis (i.e. they haven't actually reviewed code to determine whether e.g. you're actually able to think algorithmically or are just gluing libraries together). That's sort of where the leetcode stuff is supposed to come in: by pushing you through the standardized funnel, they can get a better gauge for how you stack against other candidates. N.B: Whether that provides a good indicator of job performance at all in the first place is a can of worms of its own, IMHO.

My advice: weigh in compensation, career growth and job alignment to decide whether this opportunity is for you. If so, treat the leetcode stuff as a formality: if you have the chops, you should be able to pass with flying colors. The most important question to ask yourself is "what's in it for me?"

My daughter's only 2 and a bit right now, but I can totally envision an environment wherein I'm acting as an idiot sub-lab assistant role, helping with the basics of her demands.

Of course, I'd not want to do her work for her, but more than equally, I'd be quite happy to have a '5% We-encouraging' in her vocabulary when it comes to her explaining herself. What parent wouldn't, if they can?
As someone who eats a primarily vegan diet I find the vegan community to be insufferably toxic. I'm not talking about individuals but the community itself is just one big dick measuring contest about who is 'more vegan' and suffers more due to their devotion. I don't fault others for seeing how gross the community can be.
Agree, and I like "eco" - would add "frugal", "efficient", "wise".

As a technologist, I would appreciate something more for less, like a record of of the signature's provenance.
Yep, this is entirely "we can give you the right to repair your device. You don't need that silly law." The law is about giving consumers and repair shops the right to repair, but Apple is pretending that "right to repair" is just about giving individuals the ability to repair their stuff.

It's especially safe for Apple because Joe Q Public is not going to even remotely think about DIY'ing this, and they get to charge a price that assures they don't lose money on it. The parts are cheap, the instructions are cheap. It's the labor that is what is expensive.
There are legacy parts, but OS/2 subsys was never used, VMS was never supported. The OS has become more modular, would be easy to deprecate ancient stuff.

The lifetime value of each lease is in tens of thousands of dollars. Multiply that by tens of thousands of properties. Is a few thousand dollars in savings really that significant in that context? The application fee is paid by the renter regardless. And the value they are getting is what I mentioned – the Docusign brand. I'm much more likely to trust an agreement that is hosted on docusign.com than cheapsign.com or whatever else.
Different target personas.

SurveyMonkey is using a fun name for boring surveys.

NameCheap is positioning itself as the cheapest place to buy items that are already cheap. $5 at NameCheap vs $10 somewhere else.

If you sign a legally binding document for a property or a business deal, the last thing you want to hear is "let's do it the cheap way and save $1.75".
> For signatures, I think this works. I don’t think I would skimp on important, non-commodity things.

But it doesn't really work for signatures. If I'm signing things related to my mortgage, or VC financing, or an affidavit or something, it isn't equivalent to "cheap taco," but rather something like "fancy fine dining."

I'd be willing to pay a premium to ensure nothing goes wrong with the documents that will delay a closing process. And if I were a lawyer or similar professional, I think I'd also want to convey that premium image. I'm not buying a "signature experience," but I might be a buying house, where a want a "trusted transaction." Which is why I'm hiring a professional and not going DIY.
Run away!

It would really be a sad joke if one dismisses a good technology just because he does not like the tone of the author of the said technology.

Besides, the said technology does do tf-idf and fuzzy search, and will soon have phrase search, and other features, if enough people request them.

Datalevin is an open source project, not unlike Lucene. What's the difference? Not like the tone?

Meh, let’s not conflate the plant based cheese side of things with the meat substitute market.

A decent quality plant based cheese is closer in texture to hummus and is literally, mostly, ground up nuts - you can make it at home in your blender if you want to.

If you’re talking processed American cheese style… that game is probably lost the minute you choose to eat processed American cheese.

Workgroup in Vulkan/WebGPU lingo is equivalent to "thread block" in CUDA speak; see [1] for a decoder ring.

> Using atomics to solve this is rarely a good idea, atomics will make things go slowly, and there is often a way to restructure the problem so that you can let threads read data from a previous dispatch, and break your pipeline into more dispatches if necessary.

This depends on the exact workload, but I disagree. A multiple dispatch solution to prefix sum requires reading the input at least twice, while decoupled look-back is single pass. That's a 1.5x difference if you're memory saturated, which is a good assumption here.

The Nanite talk (which I linked) showed a very similar result, for very similar reasons. They have a multi-dispatch approach to their adaptive LOD resolver, and it's about 25% slower than the one that uses atomics to manage the job queue.

Thus, I think we can solidly conclud that atomics are an essential part of the toolkit for GPU compute.

You do make an important distinction between runtime and development environment, and I should fix that, but there's still a point to be made. Most people doing machine learning work need a dev environment (or use Colab), even if they're theoretically just consuming GPU code that other people wrote. And if you do distribute a CUDA binary, it only runs on Nvidia. By contrast, my stuff is a 20-second "cargo build" and you can write your own GPU code with very minimal additional setup.

> Unfortunately we were never allowed to do that, because of Scrum, and were only able to do it on the low down for a short time until management cracked down on it and enforced "anyone who happens to be free works on whatever is on top of the backlog".

Ironically, this (what the management did) is completely against the rules of Scrum... in theory.

But it is what management typically does when they are doing "Scrum".

The thing is, 99 out of 100 people repeating conspiracy theories don’t have a single coherent thought behind the whole thing.

It will be a straw man, but it is statistically like that:

They may start by how research grants decide the results of studies and thus your study is one of those payed ones, but then jump ship and go that this sea snake extrude homeopathy will treat covid, just go look it up yourself, and then even if there is a “paper” for that, it is from goddamn Atlantis with no peer-review and was tested on 2 parrots.
Still easily implemented with combinators the whole way down. It’s building an ast, that’s it. Once you have a tree, you can do whatever you want with the result before passing it to a compiler for a language. Here though, just serialization stuff.

It was clearly a joke. A questionable study ended up having a result from a google/twitter search of the same name made for a humorous reference.

Biden: U.S. does not support 'Taiwan independence'
Related but also not: One of the most interesting aspects about a "shroom" trip is the incredible ability to visualize. Visualizing is something that we all think we can do normally, but if you really try to picture something in your head -- specific faces, the design of a bicycle, the layout of a room -- it's quickly evident that we are actually terrible at it (it's hard to reverse information from that neural network). Even if you're drawing it's often an iterative process where each line drives the next.

Maybe other people are better at it, but when self-interrogating and inspecting one's own vision, it just completely falls apart. https://www.booooooom.com/2016/05/09/bicycles-built-based-on...

Normally.

I can only speak to personal experience, but under the influence of psilocybin I find that closing my eyes and visualizing complex environments and machines -- of literally inspecting and walking through gearing systems, for instance, and rationalizing their operation -- with complex lighting, etc, leaves me just in awe at the mind's capacity. It literally feels like looking into another universe, the construction of the reality simply too complex to be imagined and visualized.

I've actually felt my head to ensure I'm not overheating, contemplating the process like the mind was a GPU.
Not sure I believe that.

A Starship that goes to and from LEO orbit might be reused once a day or more. In the time it takes to make the transit to Mars a "local traffic" Starship might be reused hundreds of times.

Thus in terms of capital intensity there isn't much difference between using and reusing a martian Starship. In fact it might be better to break it up at the destination, live in the tanks, recycle the metal, etc.

"Texting via APRS has been a thing for about 20 years."

Yes, that's true.

If, by "texting", you mean either:

- A handheld radio attached to a laptop with a serial cable.

- One of two (three ?) models ever produced that allowed you to key in APRS with T9 typing on a number pad.

Yep, it's awesome.

Riddle me this: If Fauci had said 'masks work but we need you all to hang back and not buy them because we need them for the medical profession' resulting in a mass run on masks resulting in even larger numbers of death in care workers how would you view him?

I used to use Adobe Acrobat to sign with a cert, but I stopped because of Adobe malware installing all over my computer. So I started using free docusign for exactly this, and then started paying the $2 to have others sign so that they didn't have to install Adobe.

Now for $2 you can help people stop using Adobe. :)
The way they've framed this is not that it's a new rule, but rather, a statement as to how they intend to enforce the existing rules that are already on the books, and a "recommendation" to regulated entities as to what actions they should/shouldn't take in order to not suffer negative enforcement consequences (in other words, it's not "the rule is now that you must do this," but rather "just FYI, our interpretation of current rules/statutes/whatever is that behavior X is already prohibited, so if you don't want to get in trouble with us for failing to comply, you really ought to do this").

This is advantageous to the agency if they can get away with it because new rulemaking involves a bunch of extra, lengthy process under the Administrative Procedures Act (they have to publish a bunch of drafts and collect public comments on them, then address any substantive comments they receive, etc.).
> When an announcement like this is made, it means this program has been in the works for YEARS.

I don't think so. Repairability is already something they have to consider because their stores conduct repairs. They ship tools and replacement parts to stores and to thousands of Authorized Service Providers already. And they already make manuals, tutorial videos, and repair guides available.

They also provide all the tools and repair resources (including software) to large companies and institutions - which is why universities can repair students' MacBooks on campus, and why companies can have an internal IT help desk that can perform repairs.

Adapting this for self-service is just a question of sorting out the legalities around warranty and liability - but their terms and conditions are so broad that it couldn't have been too difficult. And it's not too time-consuming for them to film a new tutorial video for display, battery, and camera replacements aimed at DIYers - perhaps their existing videos are already sufficient for this.

This is absolutely in response to antitrust and environmental criticism.
I'm sorry, was there some analysis there?
The real inflation rate is the s&p growth rate. Index investing is just keeping up with inflation. Most financial instruments, including CD and bonds are trash that is leaking value. There are other instruments…

Are chargers really a significant source of e-waste?

E-waste is a direct consequence of technology progress. We're not still all using 486s. Technology advances, people want that new stuff.

I would wager charging ports are insignificant.
I can't edit my original post now, but I misread that the account grew from more than just $2 before it was sold. If the gym sold a $2 account to a collections agency, the collection agency buying it lines up with my experience of them tacking on hundreds of dollars in overhead costs when they try to collect.
GHC has monad comprehensions with an extension, {-# LANGUAGE: MonadComprehensions #-}

GHC has an enormous amount of machinery to infer types and check equality automatically. I wonder if Idris has anywhere near that much. Automatic inference is why Haskell resisted dependent types until quite recently, though there were already some cases that it couldn't do automatically.

As for pure vs return, that's because the typeclass system was rearranged pretty recently. Before that, Monad instances weren't necessarily also Applicative. "return" was kind of cool in that you could write what looked like imperative subroutines that returned values.

!foo in Idris sounds like foo >>= whatever or whatever =<< foo in Haskell.

RMS' Review of Two Bits
> I agree that some vegans also make outlandish claims but I think it's taking it too far to say that this is "generally where the backlash starts", because that implies that it's our fault / we caused it.

Sorry, if someone makes dangerous claims like "you'll generate your own b12 after switching to a whole food diet", it is their fault if they get dog piled and memed.

There is anti-vegan prejudice on HN, I've seen it, but the real backlash is usually when the defence of the vegan philosophy gets outlandish.
What would be the problem with using something like protobufs? To write the configuration, you can use whatever language you want, what matters are the outputs anyway. The outputs are stored by automation in text format so that they can be better inspected. The programs that use such configuration have the advantage of knowing the schema of the configuration and directly parse it avoiding possible typing problems. The nice thing is that you can use the same language to write the programs and the configuration.
Gotcha.

> you can still attempt to reach me at totallynotyourservice@mydomain.com
not if the catch-all address is actually /dev/null and the totallynotyourservice@ has to be mined from somewhere because it's random.

Overall, I think it depends on the obfuscation strategy. It's true that having a unique @mydomain.com part is a big giveaway and someone could theoretically track one's activity by searching for all e-mail addresses coming from the domain.

My use-case is more to use unique e-mail addresses to throw off credential stuffing attacks, not become untrackable/avoid all spam. For the tracking use-case I generally think several times if I want to register somewhere at all and try the usual routes first (mailinator, random old addresses on public e-mail).
> In fact, I think JSON was a bridge too far. A config file shouldn't need a compiler.

JSON just needs a parser, like most other configuration formats. It's purely declarative.

I beg to differ. That assumes evolution is teleological, that it isn't reactive. It's like saying positive and negative feedback loops are predictive. You're diluting the meaning of "predictive" to say something that sounds deep.
Of course that we know Bitcoin != all cryptocurrencies. Too bad that I still can't use Bitcoin or Ethereum to pay for my groceries, despite all the 'dApps' and the hype around DeFi and whatnot.

The best part of all this is that we finally have other serious cryptocurrency alternatives that address the issues and shortcomings found in both of Bitcoin, and Ethereum which allows many use-cases to be possible at scale and cheap enough to be useful by lots of users.

The next 8 years will be very interesting for those new cryptocurrency projects.
