> It has very little to do with being in a single SoC.

The part where the efficiency is radically better than competing parts has everything to do with it being an integrated SoC.

> Then you get results that are equivalent rather than superior.

Equivalent to what? Your desktop at 5+ times the wattage? A Windows laptop with half the battery life and twice the weight?

> Yes, when they're actually doing anything. The M1 Macbooks get around 16 hours. Under the same kind of load a similarly performing PC laptop might get around 10 hours. Other PC laptops will get 16 hours (or more) by having a lower TDP and then being slower, especially on multi-threaded workloads.

Ok this is so ambiguous as to be nearly meaningless. 10 hours of what? At the least you're conceding that in this undefined workload the MacBook gets 6 more hours, which again, has been my whole point. The holistic efficiency is the whole story.

> This obviously only matters to people who care about not just long, but very long battery life, and very high performance, and aren't willing to make the weight trade off of getting one with a bigger battery.

"Only people who want better performance and better battery life should get an Apple Laptop" ... is that basically what you're saying here? Because we might just finally be in agreement.

If you don't care about performance or battery life or weight there are plenty of Windows options available. This is true.
This is also why it's very very important for early employees to have their own lawyer review employment agreements. The CEO may be your best buddy and may promise to never fuck your over, but at a certain point they will report to the board and no longer be in full control. You should be weary of promises that simply cannot be kept. Your only option is to make the employment agreement 100% explicit even if it costs the company an extra round trip with legal. (Similar if a company offers to have their lawyers go over the employment agreement with you to save you some $$... there's an intense conflict of interest here that I'm surprised is even allowed.)
Public access starts in the late 80s with things like The World and Netcom, but people were posting on the Internet in the 1980s. There's http://olduse.net where you can go and read old USENET posts from the era.

TL;DR: They aren't as visible on average because there's not such a big prevalence of outliers (even if we do have some, such as Spotify).

EU creates 39% of global startups, but only 14% of unicorns. Success rate

It's historically much more revenue than growth focused, but there's quite a lot of successful startups over here as well. It ties in closely with the local culture of "Mittelstand" and a far larger share of SMB's/family businesses than bigcorps in the US.

EU works different then US and as a citizen I am happy.
For example I can use any ATM from any bank with super low fees, I can port my phone number to any network with 0 fees, when some garbage money exchange locations were printing ins super small fonts the fees our local politicians forced them to use giant fonts(I bet US marketing and bullshit entrepreneurs hate it when citizens using the laws force them to stop abusing them).

The same way I can move my phone number I should be able to change my IM client, if you are a US company that does not care about us poor EU citizens then feel free to go away.

Conclusion, if even in my local country we the citizens vote some people and demand of them to stop the giant tech to screw us over then you either respect it or go away, but you have your right to complain and I have the right to tell you that you are missing the point.

About competing, as I said before, I was thinking to start a open free music platform , where muysicians can sell their stuff without 0 parasites sucking the profits, but I can't do that because of Apple and Google that will always suck 30% from the creators and this profits will go to enrich some billionaires in countries that do not respect human rights, kill journalists and do other crimes. I can't implement my dream because of unfair competition.
Object pooling in Java used to be fairly common. I don't see it much anymore in new code, but used to run into it all the time when writing code for Java 1.4/5. Even Sun used pooling when they wrote EJBs. Individual EJBs can be recycled instead of released to the GC.

Nowadays the GC implementations are good enough that's it's not worth the effort and complexity.

Though now that I think about it Netty provides an object pooling mechanism.
Is there a full list of the differences between the graal jit and C2? I was only aware of graal having better partial escape analysis over C2's conservative EA.
Interesting you avoided calling them basecamp given the recent media fallout. Not saying you did it intentionally, but just rare anyone refers to them as 37Signals much anymore.
They have been selling for a dollar for 35 years. I'm really curious how their inventory has changed over this period. One 2020 dollar is 40 cents in 1985 dollars, but the cost of consumer goods has decreased significantly since 1985. So I wouldn't be surprised that their package sizes have not changed much.

Common shares can also have one vote, or more than one but less than individual founder shares, with loss or decline in votes upon transfer.
I was thinking about this the other day and a wasteful solution to the packaging problem in open source is the decentralized build solution on a blockchain like platform. Either with PoW or PoS. In PoS, a node builds the code pulled from source control, multiple other nodes validate the build and its hash and add to the blockchain and to the repository. Now the builds are relatively trustable. Of course need to figure out an incentive structure for miners/validators to do this expensive work.

Looking at what the past thought space exploration would become is really fun. Disney and Wernher Von Braun collaborated to make a happily imaginative view into space exploration back in 1955.

Me too, I just think it's gotta be an either or.
One step up from 'curl' and 'jq' is to only target modern browsers supporting Javascript ES6.

Just create a static HTML file and a script loaded as an ES6 module.

Use the Fetch API for obtaining data from your API. Obtain DOM elements using 'document.querySelector()'. Update the DOM using Javascript template literals (strings) and the 'Element.innerHTML' attribute.

For forms, just do a server side redirect after POST or respond with HTTP 201 or 204. Alternatively, add a Javascript submit event listener to the form and do the HTTP POST using a 'FormData' object and the Fetch API.

For authorization, either a catch all HTTP Basic Auth in the web server or a HTML login form to your API responding with a session cookie and a redirect.
Indeed, and for all the people scoffing at how they can't possibly be coffee stirrers, most coffee shops nowadays give you tiny plastic or wooden twigs, which are far less effective at actually stirring, and yet still get the job done ok.

A small spoon at the end of a modern stirrer would be much more effective, yet I guess people would accuse them of selling drug paraphernalia.
Go is a little more elaborate than that: if a value is initialized as a pointer-to-struct (e.g. foo := &Foo{...}) and it doesn't escape the function, Go will allocate it as if were a value type.
The same reasons that playing in VR is better than on a monitor. But then one would question why this is better than VR. If all the players are physically separate and movement of physical pieces is limited (because all the opponent pieces are now virtual) you lose much of the benefit of AR.

This device is really best suited for people playing together in person (with online play a nice alternative, but not a primary target). As such I think a better example of the sort of hidden state it would work well with is Stratego. In that game the full board is visible to everyone but the identity of the individual playing pieces are not.

There are many other things you could do with hidden state, like show the stats of all your pieces floating above them, but not those of the opponents. Or show terrain of the board where your pieces have visited to you, but not to your opponents (who have to guess by your motions). It doesn't need to be completely hidden - partial knowledge or fog-of-war can make for interesting game dynamics as well.
> Arguably, it could give greater benefit.

Please, make that argument. Explain to us how 20 - hell let's be generous and say 1,000 - worse telescopes can achieve what one great one can.
> It's worse because you're likely to install more packages using something like Flatpak than you would by downloading random binaries or building from source.

... what makes you say that ? if I want to run something, it'll run one way or another no matter how hard the "system" wants to prevent that. Even if it's patch.exe downloaded from a 2004 russian website.

They reference at least one setting up the backstory of the main character, so it's likely.
It definitely depends on the category. I’ve found it most helpful for items that I don’t know much about, the capability and pricing tiers do matter, but it’s not going to be a purchase that needs to be absolutely perfect and I’m unlikely to have a strong opinion about later.

Headphones? Stay away - too subjective. A humidifier for the nursery? Perfect.
So, could Apple just bifurcate their iMessage platform into an EU version and a rest of the world version, and then let the interoperability be only on the EU version? Basically downgrade the EU version to be equal to SMS.

If there no longer a competitive advantage in having a differentiated platform in the EU, then let others spend the resources on that service.
Important distinction, as it wouldn't work when JS is disabled in browsers.

I don't see the point of going back to full server side, you have to scale more with more users.

The only benefit would be if it all worked without running JS in browsers, but it doesn't.
What I really like about the original (not perfect) website is they understood WHY you would go to the website: to download winamp, or see what was new and download an update. Those are the top reasons, all other things like "news" are secondary and down the page.
there is some sort of legal dispute between apple and khronos resulting in apple not really wanting to touch khronos ip. on a technical level, translating spir-v to msl is a solved problem.
So which "startups" are they talking about? If they're talking about scaleups, sure. Less risky.

shtick, climate change is not ruinous. Humans are incredibly adaptable. We can survive just fine in even the worst predicted climate change scenario.

Some of us are aiming a bit higher than the mere survival of humanity as a species. Allowing some significant regression in civilization merely to avoid some short term discomfort is foolishness.

> We also have plenty of tools for drastic geoengineering if needed.

Completely untested. Hoping for a technical miracle is nice, but I prefer a concrete plan.

> Instability makes humans do crazy shit to each other, orders of magnitude worse than the ongoing slow motion trainwreck of climate change.

After reading some HTMX criticism, there's one point people seem to miss. Making HTML your application interface does *not* prevent you from having a JSON (or something else) API. If anything, it probably forces you to split your functions better. e.g:

def get_user_data(user_id: int) -> Dict (JSON-looking data):
...

def render_user_view(user_id: int) -> HTML:
user_data = get_user_data(user_id)
render_template("user_detail_view.html", context=user_data)

If you need the user data in a JSON API, nothing prevents you from exposing `get_user_data` as a JSON endpoint. You can also use WebViews in a mobile app.

People tend to overestimate the "interactivity" needs of their apps and underestimate what they can achieve by just swapping HTML. HTMX also lets you swap "Out of Band" [0]. This makes it easy to model more complex interactions (like "reactions"), for example, updating a counter somewhere else in the app when a form is submitted. Reactive frameworks can also become a Rube Goldberg machine if an app is not properly designed from the beginning. Then you start fighting rendering loops, build dependencies, components' side effects, etc.

Personally speaking, HTML-driven apps are not just about easy vs. hard development, it's also about your users [1]. Maybe a big React app runs fine on 8 CPU cores and 32 GB of RAM, but very often, your users just want to read some content, maybe submit a few forms, and leave. They may not want to download 2 MB of JS so that the page can render boxes with text, even more if your browser can already do that if you give it some HTML.

Raising Funding with Just a Prototype?
So to be blunt, is it even possible to try and raise funding for a tech product if you don't have connections. Like, I really can already showcase some limited features and I think there's a market for this, but the last time I really invested effort into reaching out to investors I got ignored universally. Aside from a single we looked at it, but we don't think you're going to be able to recoup so good luck email.

I know most of the time it's easier to get funding if you've already had at least one successful exit, but then how do you get your first successful exit ?
The mass constraint in space engineering is a real killer, unfortunately. I doubt they want so many single points of failure, but I also understand it can be effectively impossible to add redundancy within mass window.

>(5) The role of women in all this. Sometimes I find myself trying to avoid "sausage party" events but maybe that's a mistake.

(EDIT: I should mention I'm somewhat exaggerating the differences to highlight them in this post)

As someone who's exposed to different cultures fairly regularly(im Indian American, and a Muslim) I feel this one is a odd American cultural quirk. Among many of my friends of a similar cultural background(Muslims, or just Indians) to me I see a large value placed on "chilling with your bros". It's generally a very open space, where even the quiet awkward member of the group has no reason to be judged. And it happens pretty often-- the reason for doing it is because that's what people do.

But I find with my Caucasian American friends there usually has to be a _reason_ for men to hang out. I don't know if it's a culture just pushes the pursuit of women a little too hard, or fear of something. Even with the extroverts, you have to go to a bar, or a show or something. With my other friends we'll go out and eat, or even just sit on someone's couch and make jokes if there's nothing else to. There isn't as much friction. Keeping friends is easy.

I don't mean any of this in a "superior" way-- in fact I feel like with every generation my culture grows more like the larger American culture-- a little more awkward and formal. So I'm not saying we have all the answers, these are just observations I've made.

To me it feels like Americans used to really value "man time"-- going out and BBQing or going camping just to spend time with other men-- isn't really valued anymore. Sometimes it's even looked down upon as excessively masculine and unnecessary, or even gay(I've felt this when i told a friend who moved away that I missed him and made a joke about me being gay-- not saying it's universal). I'd say articles like this reimforce the value of men hanging out with men just to have someone who gets you

However it's a weak one, the stack allocation acts as a form of extremely limited nursery, but lots of "escaping" objects could well fit into a nursery, to say nothing of "heap" objects (like strings and slices) which always trigger heap allocations.

Furthermore AFAIK most generational GCs have 3 generations, not 2 (let alone 1.5).

It does make the tradeoff more complicated, a generational GC is not simple (especially in a language with ubiquitous mutability), but the casual dismissals are... troubling.

And that's before mentioning the regularly problematic lack of tuning knobs of the Go GC, also often dismissed as "java concerns" (which Go users have to work around using ugly hacks when hit, because they don't have tuning knobs).

> Would it be plausible for him to get a position as an applied scientist and then ultimately pivot into a research position over the course of a few years? Is that a viable path? Or is a PhD a must for this sort of position? I think he’d be happier working into that position as an IC rather than a student. He’s done some good research already, but doesn’t yet have published work.

This is _very_ rare. From my experience, all of my colleagues that are working in research positions (i.e., actively publishing to top-tier conferences) have PhDs. The most sure-fire way to work in research is through a PhD program at an R1 university because of the education, mentorship, and connections it provides. One option might be to start as a research engineer, collaborate with other scientists on papers, build a track record as a secondary author, and then apply to PhD programs, but that will still ultimately require getting a PhD.

This isn't meant to be discouraging, but I think that the most obvious choice for active publishing is through a PhD program.

The difference being that the code to send an Ajax request an update the DOM based on the response is already coded and already used in other places, whereas updating the text length client-side would have to be custom code. Not that I'm arguing one way or another, but the reason it's done that way is to reuse the same set of primitives for everything.
Not if they're raising prices because salaries have already increased.
Now that's a completely different argument, and still mostly incorrect. The 5700G will access as much memory throughput from its GPU as you can feed it. The limitation is not the GPU, it's how fast you can clock your RAM.

The BIOS doesn't set the shared memory. The BIOS sets the dedicated memory. The shared memory is set by the OS and driver as you need, and the only limit is how much memory you have and how much is used by other processes.

You can force any program to use shared memory by making dedicated memory low. As I said, these programs don't really choose to use it, it's a driver/OS responsibility.

The 5700Gs memory controller indeed can't go above 100GB/s. However 200-400GB/s is not what the M1 Max GPU can do, it's combined performance. You'd have to substract CPU performance. The M1 Max GPU would still be faster of course. But the premise is that GPU performance doesn't really matter.

When I started developing back pain from our office chairs a few years ago (proper ergonomic ones), a colleague let me try a kneeling chair that work had gotten for him but which didn't really work for him. It has been perfect for me and my back pain was gone from first use. Not necessarily because the kneeling position is better, but because the chair is just so easy to switch positions in. I can kneel, put one leg up, put both legs up, even sit on it backwards. I'm very much a fidgeter and I think having a chair that lets me fidget with my position easily has really helped.

When we moved to WFH during the pandemic, the company subsidized some equipment and I ended up getting a different type of kneeling chair from the same brand: this one rocks back and forth and is also great for fidgeting. I now have both chairs in my house and use them interchangeably (with a small preference to the rocking chair these days). It does not magically fix my posture, but I've had no back pain at all since switching.

Both chairs are from Varier (Wing Balans and Variable Balans)
Sure, but it might not matter. Your company can be in such a bad state that the next round, if it happens, will massively dilute everyone, including you. You wind up owning less than 10% of a sinking ship. I've seen it happen. (And if you don't take that money, your company goes to zero.)
