Hardware used to get faster more quickly than software got slower, so you could make forward progress by upgrading hardware. Then it seemed about the same, so following a hardware upgrade things would be about as fast as they had been when my previous hardware was new several years prior.

Now we seem to be at a point where the software is getting slower more quickly than the hardware is getting faster, so that following a hardware upgrade everything is a bit slower than it was following the prior upgrade.

Software sucks, and hardware is amazing.
Telehealth Rollbacks Leave Patients Stranded, Some Doctors Say
Not sure that's quite true. They had "reasonable and prudent", IIRC, which meant that a cop could still write you a ticket for 140. If there was much other traffic around, he might have been justified in doing it.

As a developer whose native language is not English, I'm really glad that Swift has finally forced developers from Western countries (and especially US) contemplate what strings actually are and aren't, and how to properly use them in different contexts.
> Yeah it's comical because Linux has so obviously driven a lot of people away from kernel development.

I hear this "a lot" very often, but then it seems to be from people who have no real interest in technical work of kernel/OS core development. Linux is not the only way to scratch your itch for interest in low-level system dev. Like, this is just personal experience, but I have heard this on the order of 50-100 times: someone parroting how toxic Linux kernel dev is because of drama they heard -- but then you kind of dig a little bit and see what kinds of software stuff interests them, what do they work on -- probably only once or twice has it been anything embedded, hardware related, close to the metal. I would need compelling evidence to change my opinion that most of the complainers have no interest in the work being done by the community they are complaining about -- and I am fully aware that a number of people have departed Linux development, but we are talking about a tiny number of the thousands of contributors over the years -- you can't please everyone.

The hobby OS, emulation and demo scene is a pretty good indicator for "natural"* gender breakdown. These tend to be tight, tiny communities or often lone wolves working on projects. It is male dominated. This can't be explained by any systemic or community gatekeeping - because there is no system nor any mandatory community for participation or distribution. Nothing prevents anyone from putting their work out there.

* I am not discounting there may be other systemic reasons that set up this condition - but it has to be societal conditions that are in place in early childhood -- something that happens a bit before one considers contributing to the Linux kernel.
Rationalists are wrong about telepathy
At risk of being downvoted, I'm automatically very skeptical of any story I see on Reddit. I pretty much just instantly assume it's some kind of weird lie for online clout. The site culture there is very strange.
Besides that, remember that if you use Vulkan, you will almost certainly end-up with something that is very optimized for one platform, but won't immediately run well on alternative platforms (see games with their frequent updates for new CPU and GPU architectures).

Apple runs Metal on AMD GPUs, Intel iGPUs, and their own in-house Apple GPUs. If you used Metal, you didn't really have to do much optimization to get close-to-the-best-possible performance on all three of these very-different architectures.
It appears JohnFen partially geolocated me!

A few years ago I had top tier frequent flier status, and the airline kept offering to pay the Global Entry fee for me. Sit for a lame interview and provide a bunch of info to power-starved snooping Karens? No thanks.
My white whale is a split ortho linear with F-row. Evidently the market has spoken that if you want something non-traditional, it must go for minimal key count, because chording.
This is a function of aging, although the cause is still debated.

One suggestion would be to do fewer things, or find a job with fewer tasks. Downside is that if you don’t like that, time will probably seem slower and you’ll be looking at the clock all day.
I don't have a problem with it. The muscle memory takes wrist orientation into account possibly?

How was the stock market involved in this laundering? At any rate, today's markets are quite rigorously monitored so that the provenance of any single share is reasonably well established.
Everytime this questions comes up (and it comes up a lot especially on HN), the answer is almost always: start with the Language that you already know and then reverse engineer. For example:

PHP => Symfony or Laravel

Python => Django or Flask

Javascript => Node/Express

Ruby => Rails

Then there are others like elixir/Phoenix etc and then you can do your own in Go etc.
Network states can fire their ‘clear leader,’ which is not true for all democracies.

Cryogenic in-orbit refueling is not breaking any physics laws and allows to reset the Tsiolkovsky rocket equation from orbit, so you can gain 2 orders of magnitude on payload weight.

Sure, there were those boards, but they were mainly for tech support or associated with a school or something like that. The boards I hung out on had far more relaxed rules.

The book is great at emphasizing and re-emphasizing the incremental nature of the journey, all the competition and co-discovery and the tiny steps building on each other's work that led up to Doudna and Charpentier's breakthroughs. Including the researchers that concurrently discovered CRISPR. Despite centering around Doudna's life and career, it very firmly gives credit where credit is due.
Rubbish? Far too expensive.

Nuclear trash?? Now that could be an option, when you look at the expensive prospect of putting quite large areas of the Earth 'off limits' for hundreds if not thousands of years while the radio-activity subsides.
Apple's marketing page for the new MacBook Pros with the M1 Pro and M1 Max strictly mentions laptops and laptop GPUs in its comparisons. Apple makes no comparison to desktop systems directly. At most they make general comparisons to the power curves of PC CPUs and GPUs, but mostly when introducing the M1 and explaining why they built it.
It sounds like you may have a undiagnosed local networking issue. I’ve been using Macs since 1991 and the last time I had the sort of issue you’re talking about was classic macOS, where AppleTalk would literally hang the entire OS when it went into the weeds.
We keep bottled water and food (chips, protein bars, etc)… in our car and offer them whenever we come across someone homeless. Some take, others refuse. That’s okay. We don’t give out cash though.
In the US a judge needs to provide much less to the public, "probable cause".

My tinfoil/ CSI tv experience/ common sense tells me you can show a fellow human being something naughty, like illegal sting results, in private if you exert good judgement before, during and after the meeting.

Edit: Where I live, search warrants aren't required by the police. Which is a good thing (for regular people) provided the inaccessibility and corruption of the judicial power.

For some simple SPI devices, sometimes. Many SPI devices, especially more complex ones, won't let you shift data through the device without attempting to interpret it.
Frontend is what will get you. The kids have decided everything now needs to be compiled and transpiled so you won't be able to avoid the hassle of frontend development. If you want to avoid all of that then Flutter/Dart might be a good option: https://dart.dev/web. But this is just me giving random advice. I tried Dart for a while and it's a nice language, no worse than all the other contenders when it comes to web development.
Kim Stanley Robinson on Science Fiction and Reclaiming Science for the Left
A) Many games don't use these engines. The trend has actually been going in the direction of less custom engines, but a significant amount of games still do.

B) Games might not have to deal with macOS if they're using an engine, but the engine themselves still do. This limits what engines can do to the least common denominator. And we all know Apple isn't the fastest when it comes to new standards or features. In the graphics world, that comes in the form of DirectX12 vendor-specific extensions, with Vulkan vendor-specific extensions a few months later, and then Metal support whenever Apple feels like copying it.

Someone else in this thread linked an example about Metal lacking support for a type of atomic primitive that prevented the decoupled loopback algorithm from running on Metal. That means the author couldn't use WebGPU to implement the algorithm, and had to make an implementation in Vulkan and Metal separately (iirc all the details of this correctly, you get the general idea). And it _wasn't_ clear that they couldn't use WebGPU to begin with. The WebGPU spec had to actually be clarified based on the author's investigation. Engines and other APIs wouldn't have to deal with this if Apple just supported Vulkan.
Why would I look at an FAQ when I don't have a question and when the FAQ entry isn't a question? Also, the link you pointed me at basically says "some questions suck" - you can admit that here.
One thing that gets me is that people have such a pathetic life that they feel they have to share these lame posts.
“I think this is less about ground breaking research and more about simply ramping up volume production to the point where the market isn't supply constrained anymore.“

These happen hand in hand. It’s analogous to semiconductor improvements that take 1-10 thousand minor improvements (R&D) over the global supply chain during a given year to result in real gains.
> "Extremely fast"

When people make claims like this, it would be good if they put the benchmarks on the first page. E.g, how does it compare with https://github.com/gfx-rs/wgpu which lets you target Vulkan, Metal, DX, GL or WASM+WebGPU with rust?
Yes, I think he was going for someone less likable. Watney was almost too likable.
The caveat here, of course, being that memory limitations require us to prioritize what information should be kept in memory vs in storage.

Take LRU caches for example: it doesn't do us much good to devote that valuable memory space to information that isn't being recalled very often.

to be fair to them the idea is not new and shuttles could not have worked the way Space X rockets do, for that it requires sensors and computing power not available at the time.
A general-purpose DNA editing tool is still basic research by most standards.

The Nobel Prizes are awarded for conferring the greatest benefit to humankind. Showing how to use CRISPR as a genome editing tool (Doudna and Charpentier) confers much more benefit to humankind than "just" characterizing CRISPR (Mojica). I don't mean to trivialize Mojica's work, but at the end of the day if not for the later work of Doudna and Charpentier, Mojica's work on CRISPR would be unknown and irrelevant to 99.9999% of the world population.
GoDaddy says data breach exposed over a million user accounts

I have a PinePhone, with the distro that was recently selected as the "official" one, so it's supposed to be the most polished[1].

I can't even do things as basic as placing an app icon on the home screen, and expect that it will still be there after the next reboot.

So it is not a daily driver by any stretch of the immagination, regardless of what you mean by daily driver. Even if your idea of daily driver is "a feature phone would do", it's still not there yet (MMS not being fully working, most feature phones have that).

I love the PinePhone and I want to see it succeed, I don't regret spending the money on it, but it is most certainly not usable as a daily driver.

I can see some progress being made with every single update though, so in time it will eventually get there thanks to the community.

From what you know off the cuff, do LFP or LTO batteries have advantages in number of cycles or discharge depth? Both of those being even marginally higher would make them superior for home batteries, since the power density wouldn't matter nearly as much.

E: Wikipedia says low cost, less rare earth metals and longer lifetime. Sounds like a big technology.
Emergency brake is useful in that situation.

Right. Would you happen to know if there's a way to make a retained object actually deallocate on last "release," other than putting an autorelease pool around it? Would you also happen to know if the Swift bindings have this same wonky autorelease behavior, or more straightforward Swift-style refcounting?
Sure, security is a good idea, but how far do you want to escalate it? If you visit a higher-end store or a bank in Latin America or the Caribbean you'll likely see a security guard or two with a shotgun. I'm not anti-gun, but I don't want to live in an environment where this is the norm.

The ultimate root cause is extreme inequality driving some people to act out. If people's lives are generally tolerable, fewer will feel justified in stealing a luxury item. I think it's less about the handbag and more about giving a middle finger to the established order. And no, I'm not saying we should give criminals carte blanche, or that the status quo is fine. But there is certainly a correlation between inequality and crime and focusing only on security isn't the whole answer.
It's interesting what FAANG looked like 10 years ago. People kept saying that Facebook was going to fail, all the numbers certainly pointed that way. And who thought Netflix was going to be one of the top companies to work for? Amazon's low profit margin approach seemed like it could implode any moment, but never did.

I'm absolutely not an expert, but I feel like log-structured filesystems (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Log-structured_file_system) are a natural fit for this kind of things: an index "just" has to read the latest written entries.

But if we're talking about the future, we're probably talking about btrfs and zfs, both of which have the internal machinery to give you a feed of "recently changed files" up to the beginning of the filesystem.

While writing this answer I stumbled upon https://github.com/rflament/loggedfs which is probably a very nice solution to this problem.
I loved your app; it is indeed very simple to use. I would have liked to see the location name and current weather right on the home page of the app. Do you have a Github where I could download the code and deploy it on my own servers?

Great job overall!
Apologies, you are correct that was a snarkish response. I stand by my point though, we don't have any right to see "details" of the accusation. In particular the moderator team seems to resign not because of the particular case but because of structural issues. That is what they pointing towards.

Now regarding the structural issues, I actually could find very scarce information about the governance of Rust. I certainly could not find any information on how the core-team gets selected and what the processes are around being added or removed from the team. I also did not find much about their duties. So in that sense there seems to be verifiable information about lack of transparency (if not accountability).
It's inconsistent for me - sometimes it runs fine and runs almost immediately, sometimes it hangs for a long time.
I have mixed emotions about this.

From a security professional perspective, this is at least somewhat of an improvement, even if the entire thing feels like it's held together with a wish and a prayer. I would really like if there were a means to just institute an entirely new system. Essentially having one's entire life ruined, on the chance a bad actor can guess a four digit number is...not great.

From a genealogist perspective though, this is horrible news. Being able to trackdown people based off of rough geographic assumptions can help narrow down if someone is "lucky" enough to have a common name in a specific region. Of course, this change to SSN isn't nearly as disastrous as the death of paper - especially newspapers - but I really do not envy anyone who is going to try and do historical family research in two to three hundred years. It makes me cringe just to think about how much valuable information, how many life changing moments, are going to be lost to encryption, bit rot, and the constantly changing standards of software and hardware.
This article was disappointing -- I was hoping it would be a detailed of comparison of different responses and their performance, but instead it basically boiled down to something like:

"Different areas responded differently, which sure is interesting. The end."

Radiation hardening are mostly done with mature old node with less error rate and packaging. There are additional compute to check if results are correct ( I remember it was n+2 ? ). So nothing to do with ISA itself ( at least as far as I know ).
I can tell you that unfortunately that's not an isolated case. We recover stolen domain names, and it happens quite often (that someone gets into a GoDaddy account and is able to remove 2FA).
Doesn't that video seem odd though?
I don't understand what's going on here, it's just surreal. Like if I was a multi-billionaire would I hire a film production crew including a bunch of extras and Christmas themed set to tell the world about 5 (already high profile and best selling) books? Is this just marketing for Bill? To what end? I guess everyone has to have a hobby.

Mazes for Programmers is on my bookshelf. I've gone through the first few chapters coding along in Go and going on weird diversions. It's totally pointless, and I love it. There's also "The Ray Tracer Challenge" by the same author, which looks phenomenal.
Not only do you need to find the snippet which is hard enough as it is, but you also need to understand the snippet and often take out a line or two from a 20 line snippet which do what you need.
For OpenCL on DX12, the test suite doesn't pass yet. Every Khronos OpenCL 1.2 CTS test passes on at least one hardware driver, but there's none that pass them all. That is why CLon12 isn't submitted to Khronos's compliant products list yet.

The pointer semantics that Vulkan has aren't very amenable to implementing a compliant OpenCL implementation on top of. There are also some other limitatons: https://github.com/google/clspv/blob/master/docs/OpenCLCOnVu....
It may not say in that specific spot. The map, however, does indicate what I said. Looking specifically into, for example, Wisconsin:

> If an actor intentionally used force that was intended or likely to cause death or great bodily harm, the court may not consider whether the actor had an opportunity to flee or retreat before he or she used force and shall presume that the actor reasonably believed that the force was necessary to prevent imminent death or great bodily harm to himself or herself if the actor makes such a claim under sub. (1) and either of the following applies:

> 1. The person against whom the force was used was in the process of unlawfully and forcibly entering the actor's dwelling, motor vehicle, or place of business, the actor was present in the dwelling, motor vehicle, or place of business, and the actor knew or reasonably believed that an unlawful and forcible entry was occurring.

> 2. The person against whom the force was used was in the actor's dwelling, motor vehicle, or place of business after unlawfully and forcibly entering it, the actor was present in the dwelling, motor vehicle, or place of business, and the actor knew or reasonably believed that the person had unlawfully and forcibly entered the dwelling, motor vehicle, or place of business.

Also New York:

> (a) The actor reasonably believes that such other person is using or
about to use deadly physical force. Even in such case, however, the
actor may not use deadly physical force if he or she knows that with
complete personal safety, to oneself and others he or she may avoid the
necessity of so doing by retreating; except that the actor is under no
duty to retreat if he or she is:

I feel like this could be cool but as it says "It is not yet done.". There's nothing really to see.
My mother-in-laws m1 macbook air exhibits the same issue, and she hasn't installed anything but apple's own software on it.

Not every time, mind you. Only about once in 50 times. Sometimes she goes for weeks without it. Sometimes it happens several times in a day.

My 2016 imac has some weird issues as well, like not supporting some of my keyboards when I use a nonstandard layout file (swedish dvorak)- even though they work just fine with apples own keyboards.

Apple has some issues with quality control. Things have gotten steadily worse since 10.5, even though I do enjoy the new features.

Not just weird things like the one above, but basic things like standard shortcuts not working when you have Swedish layout. Now I cant remember which one it was, but it was something that should do a common thing, but instead brought up the "search in the help files" instead.

I have been bitten by it every time I use a new mac or do a fresh install.
