A lot of companies are donating computing power for COVID-19 research, so it's possible they have a deal of some kind worked out with Amazon.

We took the opposite approach and assembled our own equipment, which we self host and manage. The cost savings we're significant, and what we lose doing admin and maintenance is saved by having the flexibility and freedom to code and run what we want, when we want.
Defined benefit were typically paid in by the company. That's the thing that makes them attractive. As an employee you do nothing and, when you retire, you potentially get a nice check every month. I've known people I worked with in a past life who had even totally forgotten about the benefit.

But you're probably basically correct. It's a lump sum that's likely a significant payout but less than the computed actuarial value that would have to be paid out.
Apple created a Macintosh Basic, but Microsoft threatened not to renew Apple's license for the basic included with the Apple II computers that were the companies bread and butter at that time unless they killed it.

https://www.folklore.org/StoryView.py?project=Macintosh&stor...

The software did leak out and was widely spread by user groups.

A couple of publishers had already printed books on it when Microsoft had the software killed, so you could even find manuals for it.
I might be the last person to realize this, but did Microsoft name it .NET because they already had COM?

Huh? I would guess most people are pragmatic and are happy to use and contribute to any software licensed under OSD-compliant terms. You can do that while still preferring to contribute to permissively licensed projects. Of course that goes both ways, I don't see many free software purists that refuse to use permissively licensed software either.

Transforming a linear matrix equation to Reduced Row Echelon Form (rref) [1] allows solving it very easily or writing a minimal set of variables in terms of others if you don't have enough independent equations or discovering that the set of equations is contradictory. You naturally arrive at this form if you were to do manual Gaussian Elimination, but linear algebra libraries have additional efficient ways to arrive at this depending on the structure of the matrix. So it's common to just ask the algebra system to get it there and then use the matrix either programmatically or by hand depending on what you're trying to do.

The stars aligned for Apple but they could have easily aligned for GRiD or Visi On or Digital Research as well. Heck, the Japanese MSX system could have achieved in the mid 1980s what the USCD p-system also failed at and we technically didn't get until the Java phones of the early 2000s of true cross system compatibility.

The lack of motivation for your dreams is a pretty big red flag for depression. See a therapist and/or doctor. Common anti-depressant meds really help, though you may need to try a few to find the one that works for you. Good luck! :)
Adding a huge library dependency to only use a function or two from there feels like a common practice these days, unfortunately. More often than not, you can copy the interesting part into your project as sources, or even better, reimplement it in a way that's more specific, and thus more optimal, for your problem.
This is like me in a nutshell. If there's something to do then I can join in pretty naturally.

I appreciate your response for making me think more deeply about the idea and seeing the merits in the point of the person I replied to.

The task of understanding the entire evolutionary process step by step that led to intelligent life is indeed more complex than any single thing that arose from it, as a necessity. One can't know every stage by which the brain developed and the purpose of that without also being able to understand the method by which it accomplishes those tasks.

As an AI engineer though, the main question is not if I can understand what I created and how I created it, but rather can I engineer an environment that itself will produce the desired outcome. This is often the experience of modern AI engineers, try to find any who could explain exactly how any large model like GPT-3 works, or how it even came to work as it trained. It would be impossible to sufficiently describe and grasp the complexity of the entire process in a human lifetime with a human brain. Yet, one can with not too much trouble understand how to create an environment that will give rise to the same model again.

Humans seem to be able to do many things, like run businesses or govern nations, without truly comprehending exactly all the moving pieces that accomplished it. I suppose this could be thought of as finding "leverage", where certain, more easily understood and controlled processes, can allow one to accomplish much harder and more complex things.

While the points about the enormous complexity of evolution and intelligence are taken and agreed with, I'm not convinced that they mean we couldn't recreate them by leveraging simple processes like genetics and natural selection to recreate them artificially.
I'm the same way. Even as a kid I never enjoyed parties with lots of people; 3-4 close friends is about the group size limit I can enjoy. I used to force myself to go to work functions because my wife would tell me I need to make more friends, but I just stopped going because it always felt like I was forcing myself to go so I'd seem "normal" to everyone else. Once I started doing what I want to do I felt much better, even though I can tell my co-workers think I'm depressed or something because I'd rather hang out at my desk working and listening to music than hanging out with 20+ people at the potluck in the conference room.

> shopper who is currently reevaluating their relationship with Amazon(unfortunately not for the 1st time either)

How many more times before you start acting on it for real? I had two bad experience Amazon France and never used since then. This company is crap, not only for buyers but for employees and traditional retail too. Also evade taxes. If you want things to change it's time to stop using it for real.
It is true that you don’t want anomalies to be anomalous only with respect to some arbitrarily chosen (or sought) feature of the reference periods. The solution to this is to do sensitivity analysis of the anomaly to these ‘arbitrary’ features (length, starting/ending points). With most climate things, anomalies will persist. This is a standard thing to do.

No incentive. Unlike other open source products we pay for like Mongo/Elastic, a managed version of Terraform or Consul doesn’t make much sense to use… we would only pay for support but even then there are a lot of docs online.
The Techempower entries are heavily gaming the system.

They often strip out framework functionality and hyper-optimise for the specific benchmark, including things like pre-allocating the exact amount of memory needed to serve the request, not doing route matching et all, etc.

They are basically an exercise in "how clever can we be to win the benchmark" rather than a realistic portrait of real world performance.

I thought I was an introvert for a long time. Turned out I was actually a misanthrope. Weird.
>It bothers me when people just say "you are introverted" or "you are extroverted". Labelling people like this [...] is not helpful [...] and does change from situation to situation.

I like to label myself as "introverted" because it matches my stable trait regardless of changing activities. Similar to labeling myself as "right-handed" because it's an underlying stable trait even though I press Ctrl+C on the keyboard with my left hand. Using my left hand in many circumstances that change from situation to situation still does not change my "right-handedness". Likewise, being at a social event still does not change my "introversion".

But since the word "introvert" bugs some people, I've previously asked what an alternative label could be to describe a stable preference but nobody suggested one yet:

The blame chain is this:

- Microsoft is king of the corporate PC in the early-to-mid 90's.

- Internet and it's Unix-y origins starts getting popular.

- Windows was not fundamentally designed to be connected to an open global network and Windows/Microsoft product security issues start becoming constant and prevalent.

- This causes an antivirus/security industry to start and grow, hooking into PC pop culture, corporate/government life which causes recommendations such as "block everything except outgoing TCP 80 and 443" to be implemented large-scale.

- Microsoft is getting better but is so prevalent that it becomes the substrate for things like major ransomware operations. The cloud becomes a thing and cloud-based firewalls that are basically HTTP proxies start becoming a thing.

- So now everything has to be HTTP otherwise it requires network owners to reconfigure firewalls and potentially take blame for ever-escalating security incidents. Just easier to ride HTTP.

Nice, then you're in a very low risk group.
The library benchmarked in the article is Stl.Fusion: https://github.com/servicetitan/Stl.Fusion. I've only learned about it today, and the documentation is a bit messy, but that seems to be a really interesting project. The author describes it as a .Net library to quickly develop efficient, distributed, real-time web applications.
Nice work!

Ward Cunningham, the father of wikis, loved HyperCard. I really liked Hypertalk and it seemed to me that this kind of language was missing in a wiki. So I explored this way: http://lambdaway.free.fr/lambdaspeech.

I'm surprised to see the service speed listed at 6 knots. Seems quite low for a container ship, no? From my limited anecdotal evidence of having cargo ships pass my sailboat, they're usually doing easily 10-15 knots. I wonder if that's related to battery efficiency being better at lower power consumption? In any case, for a short route mostly in shielded waters, as presented in the article, this doesn't seem like a hige downside.

I also have to comment on the "emission-free" moniker. Was the construction of this ship emission-free? Definitely not. Is the maintenance of the ship going to be emission-free? Probably not. I'm not saying we shouldn't be trying to reduce our emissions, but seems like nowadays there's often an almost indistinguishable line between actually trying to produce a sustainable product, and just doing greenwashing to get more government grants and investors onboard.
Would you mind giving some details on your issues?

As a French user of Amazon, I've always watched these topics with a bit of concern, but never had myself any issues. I figured their practices might be different for whatever reason in the EU as compared to the US / Canada. Even deliveries fulfilled by Amazon have been great experiences, with the people coming to my door (I live in an apartment building with a concierge not accepting packages).
> Buying original equipment is very expensive. But emulators are abound. A middle ground would be for me to play those with original controllers.

For NES/SNES? Absolutely trivial. Those controllers are literally just one (NES) or two (SNES) 4021 shift registers connected to the various buttons. Console sends a latch signal every now and then and then reads out the button state one by one.

There are adapters to convert those to USB HID available through a variety of sources and they're also trivial to DIY if you like to play with microcontrollers.

Most other 8/16 bit era controllers are either doing something similar or just directly wire the buttons to pins on the connector like the old "game port" on PC sound cards did.

If you want the ultimate in realistic play though, you can build a MiSTer.

https://github.com/MiSTer-devel/Main_MiSTer/wiki

Take one not-super-expensive FPGA dev board, add some open source firmware and optionally a few open hardware addon boards, and you have a near universal hardware emulator for 8/16 bit era consoles and computers that has perfect hardware timing. With either of the addon I/O boards you can connect native controllers directly at which point the accuracy is so high that you can actually use original light guns if you're connected to a CRT.

Anyone who is nostalgic for the 8/16 bit eras should really take a look at this project. Recently there has even been progress in to the 32 bit era, with both PSX and Saturn cores in development.

That's why you put it on your GitHub.
In my opinion the right adversarial relationship is when you can simply threaten to walk away.

The problem I see is that the barrier of doing that was raised by business regulation, the result is that there sometimes isn't where to walk off to.

Ask HN: What are you explicitly expecting from tech in 2022?

As DrNuke myself, I am eagerly looking forward to another nuclear fusion “revolutionary” announcement or two, you never know it might be the one!

at least for .NET the versions that strip out framework functionality are marked separately, though this part is not that easy to understand if you don't know about it. There are several .NET entries from very low-level without MVC and without ORM up to the full stack.

But still, these benchmarks have their uses but there are a lot of caveats you need to consider when looking at the results.
You can think without language, for sure, but the idea of a race - can you construct that without it? You almost certainly possess the idea from it being communicated to you via language and it is a social construct.

Which generally means you don't need it. One of the worst habits/pitfalls we all can fall victim to in startup world is doing something cause we think it might be helpful or important. Sometime this is fine, but I always try to avoid it when it requires another integration point.

Startups are usually having to move quickly, we all make mistakes, recover and move on etc. The more integrations you have that are not 100% providing customer value only make your system more rigid, less flexible and slow you down.

Basically, my general rule is you should only add an integration or service when it shows clear and demonstrable benefits for your clients. That doesn't mean the tool (always) directly benefits your clients but that you can demonstrate a way in which it likely will make you do something better for your clients. If you cannot show the clear and strong benefit then don't do an integration, yet. When you can show that benefit, then add the integration.
sysop breaking in for chat:
I am sure as hell not letting my toaster run 24/7, is that a common 'murican thing? (joking).

I did not question that Americans use a lot of power (my power budget is also just half of the average Dane as most of my heating is by steam made by the electricity plants (and paid on it's own) and all pumps regarding water (fresh and dirty) is paid by my building coop and not me personally.

But for any reasonable comparison it needs to be "non-critical 24/7 devices" such as routers, nas'es, computers etc and not infrastructure needed for survival..

Also there is a lot of regulation in the EU about standby power (and also in California, if I am not mistaken)? Didn't I see some tech news about that 2 months ago or so?

Comparing electric heating with bitcoin is a bit weird - heating is a necessity in a lot of the world (including where I live) for most of the year.

Bitcoin is not and will never be a survival necessity in the original sense of the word..

Also, there is a lot of focus on ship emissions as people all around the world have noticed the problem, the latest regulation change was in 2020 - not for cruise ships but for all ships...

If You just want a rock solid reliable means of communication and privacy is not an issue, look into Morse Code on Amateur Radio or CW mode. I am 100% positive that if You managed to learn it and make contact with any HAM, they would happily forward your personal message for free.

if You are just looking for an untraceable connection, buy a SBC with cash from a local electronics store and find an open wifi connection. Just be sure to bin the SBC when You are done or learn about MAC spoofing at the very least.

If You are looking for a more permanent solution and are not overly concerned with the connection being traced back to Your geo location, but still want privacy. You could look into starting a numbered company then purchasing a StarLink system through it.

There may also be a few AmSats that offer connections but they would have extremely slow speeds.

Do you ever regret your decision? I think I understand your perspective, but does it ever seem a bit impractical to move away over the CoC? It seems like Renato had similar misgivings but resolved to stay, for example. I can understand not wanting to agree to the CoC but what about continuing to contribute without agreeing? Also, the association with "outreachy" seems to have little impact on most developers work. Why let it bother you any more than the evils of companies who use llvm in their products supporting censorship or other things you might oppose?
