> If you compile a C++ program with Visual Studio, it gets dynamic dependencies on some visual studio DLLs. DLLs that are not necessarily installed by default on the Windows of the target user you're compiling for.

There is no "necessarily" about it. They are not installed by Windows, period. If they exist on the user's machine, it's because other applications have installed them, for themselves. Applications should have these libraries in their own folders, and those libraries are the specific version the applications were built with.

When you ship an application build with the Microsoft toolchain, you ship the required redistributable libraries in your installer.

Using libraries on Windows is a cinch, because Windows does the smart thing: when an executable needs a DLL, it first looks in the same directory as that executable. Thus your installer can just throw your exe's and dll's into one folder and be done with it.

There is a new thing in Windows: the UCRT (universal C run-time library). It's an attempt to provide something similar to a libc in the Unix-like world: a stable library in the OS, so applications don't have to ship one. Or something of that nature.

Windows has a C library for its own utilities and middleware called MSVCRT.DLL. That is off-limits to applications though. This new UCRT is documented for application use.
There's not a whole hour of labor in each iPhone. Not even close. Humans just put together robot-assembled boards, screens, and so on. If this is re-shored, it wouldn't be that difficult for Apple to reduce manual labor even further than that, possibly to near zero. I've tried to repair an iPhone PCB once where an SMD resistor fell off. I couldn't do it, even though I have a hot air workstation and a bench microscope. Humans can't work on SMD components you can't even see without magnification.

And I'd like to understand how it is that an M1 Pro die, which is manufactured _solely_ by robots, and can't even use human labor would cost $100 per unit more here than anywhere else in the world. Heck the chip itself likely costs less than that to manufacture (do remember that we're excluding the design cost, which is the same).

This is quite literally the case of big businesses selling their (for some tenuous definition of "their" - they don't much care where they are situated as long as they have access to US market) country out for a buck.

What about just abolishing fractional banking and letting the credit balance itself. Heavy taxation always hurt low income families the most.

If you are wealthy enough, you can just leave or find a way to bypass taxes. In the end Laffer curve dictates there will be less money to give to freshly unemployed low income families whose employers just moved to more friendly markets.

Stop the money printing machine. It was supposed to be stopped earlier and it will hurt now more than ever. But the more credit you create, the more will assets that are usually bought on credit cost.
The mindset of exploiting your customers by denying them the right to repair is the same for denying your workers any improvements in their earnings. Luckily workers are in short supply and can easily get other jobs in this super hot job market.

I thought it might be some other (non-engine) cover too, but the more I thought about it, the less likely that seemed. I seriously doubt a pilot would eject just because of a lack of airspeed indication, for example. The airplane is still flying, and if the pilot knows the airplane well they can still land it.
Both you and the GP are correct, in different ways. Investing in housing development results in houses being built, but investing in land does not. Land values going up are the real problem here, not so much house values. Houses generally depreciate in value, as they deteriorate. In general, no one is opposed to investors who build new dwellings or improve and maintain existing dwellings. The issue is that land ownership is a monopoly which results in land-owners being able to extract economic rents from society without doing anything to improve or maintain or add value to society.

Land-lording and economic, monopoly rents are bad, housing developments and rentals being hired out are good.

Yep, this whole article misses the point that the gamma wasn't being corrected for, so the opacity wasn't linear relative to the requested percentage.

Sadly, the only thing that ever did this correctly was Firefox, and it no longer does it. The proper method needs alpha values maintained for each subpixel in an image, not just each pixel, and it needs a specialized blit routine to composite with the background. This was agreed by most to be too complex, and, as other comments point out, DPI is increasing, so the easiest thing is to just disable subpixel rendering.
> We need to erode all that capital concentration, and the only way to do it without hurting the regular guy is through heavy taxation.

Bob bought a house this year. He paid $500,000 even though it should've been $200,000. He's paid $100,000 and still owes $400,000. If you cause his house to be worth $200,000, as it ought to be, regardless of the method, he's going to default on the loan and you'll have screwed him out of $100,000 and (at scale) bankrupted all the banks.

How is raising somebody else's taxes going to fix that?

> And now the FED can't really reverse it. If you start raising rates, and stopping QE, you're not actually getting the money back from the people you gave it to, you'll just get a lot of businesses to close.

The solution is to move the incentives back the other way.

Raise interest rates on debt. This will cause people to pay back existing debts. At the same time, print money and give it out to everyone. This will give people the money to use to pay back their debts, without screwing over the people who didn't take out debts to begin with, because they still get the money.

Now asset prices come down in real dollars, because people aren't as willing to borrow money to invest when interest rates are high. We need that not to happen in nominal dollars or everybody will be underwater on their mortgage, but that's okay, because we're printing a lot of money and all the people who didn't have debts to pay back are going to spend it. We get inflation, which counteracts the nominal fall in asset prices.

Instead of having asset prices fall to parity with wages and consumer prices and causing everyone to default on their mortgages, we need wages and consumer prices to rise to parity with asset prices.

It's got to be one or the other.
This is why it is sometimes referred to as "location value" rather than land value. The dirt is approximately worthless, but the location is worth a lot due to the surroundings (usually, because of human development of the surroundings).

Advocates of a land value tax therefore often call it a location value tax, or a site value tax, because it is the location and the society around the location that has value, not the dirt itself.

Personally, I'm curious how Sweeney thinks it would work to have a single storefront where people could buy iOS, Xbox, and Switch (etc) games and have them available for all their devices.

Is he suggesting that all app makers should be required to make their apps and games cross-platform across all the major current platforms...?
Which is short sighted if you value your time at all. Spending an hour more a day commuting is directly decreasing the value of your life.
That's quite an unfair argument... it's not binary, either living on the streets or getting social security.

Personally, I don't think the government should be involved in your financial life at all, especially retirement. IRA's should be available to anyone, and maybe even required. The difference is you are in charge of your retirement, not politicians and their political objectives at the moment you just so happen to retire. Why would you want to trust the government with your financial future?

But, that's not to say some system run by the government can't work... it just says social security as was implemented doesn't work. We know it doesn't work because it requires printing money or raising the burden on today's youth unfairly. It doesn't work because the amount of money you put into the system doesn't equal what you will get out, and it doesn't grow with the markets or inflation. Few people can actually retire on social security because it pays so very little.

Any way you slice it... it's really, really tough to objectively call social security "wildly successful", which was the original contested assertion.

But TSMC isn't necessarily a multinational company, which can also be said about other notable Taiwanese companies like Foxconn, whose business model depends on exploiting young, cheap, unskilled laborers from rural China and who had been far less successful in operating oversea operations outside China, such as in Brazil or Wisconsin, US.

As insinuated in the pessimitic tone of in the interview, TSMC also appears to be very reluctant to expand beyond Taiwan and China, and is certainly less worried about geopolitical threat from China. I think it's important to note that not everyone in Taiwan is dead set against the CCP. In a pre-pandemic Pew Research Center poll[1], at least 1/3 of Taiwanese still longed for closer economic and political ties with the mainland China. I don't have any recent data, but I doubt it changed much since.

Theft over is liable to a term up to 10 years. Theft under is up to two years. Two years or more is time in a federal institution. Anything less (eg. "two years less a day") and you're working for the province.

It basically comes down to if you steal more than $5000 you might go to a very bad place and if it's less, you only go to a slightly less bad place. The line has to be drawn somewhere, and no prison is a particularly good place so it really hardly matters.
Asking for permission before a photo is taken immediately nullifies any possibility of a candid moment. And asking for it afterwards almost guarantees you will be turned down.

If that last part is true then you are knowingly taking pictures of people who don't want to be photographed, which has ethics implications all by itself.
Already knowing that you lost the password, and have to do a password reset.
This is the best comment I've read on HN in a good while.

Photography and consent here appear to be a logical example of what Umberto Eco called the hyper-real, the thing that is a supersaturated version of itself which draws the eye, thereby distracting from the ubiquity of the more discreet (yet totalizing) examples of the same thing in the environment–usually serving the interests of accumulated power. The shadow side of the McGuffin, with an operational adaptation: by being visible, they reassure the viewer of their ability to discern and mark their presence... and the viewer with false confidence overlooks the more pertinent examples everywhere else.

Versions of this bait-and-distract are everywhere in contemporary discourse. This is now a stock tactic of rhetoricians and demagogues, and there are dozen variations on it.
The risk is magnified if you’re the type of person with a track record of running up credit card debt.

It’s a hell of a lot easier to just… not do that, though. I also have a Lutron system and it was amazing to be able to wall mount a wireless remote to add an extra power switch rather than rewire the entire room.

Do you have some good examples of how this "real world" perf if tested?

I often write micro benchmarks to see if something is faster one way or another. I often find one browser or another to be 3x to 10x faster in a certain micro benchmark.

A big issue is, most websites don't need perf AFAICT. Of the sites I use regularly (HN, Stack Overflow, GMail, Gdocs, GSheets, Facebook, Messenger, Slack, Reddit, github, maybe only gsheets and gdocs need any real perf.

The place where perf is needed is things like three.js, playcanvas, babylon.js, unity -> html, etc... And on those AFAIK, Chrome almost always wins, probably, because it's GPU support is multi-process
The story is about a crime in Canada, so it's relevant.
> aimed at improving the representation of Indigenous, Black and racialized teachers

Globally, whites are a minority. But since that's becoming true of more and more places locally in the US and Canada as well, the term "minority" is being phased out in favor of "racialized". "Marginalized", "minoritized", and "historically underrepresented" serve the same function - sufficiently flexible and ambiguous that they can always exclude whites, without having to openly say "non-white", or admitting that whites are a racial group.
Yeah, we were doing that, so the response was to just shrug. Without a lot more context it's hard to know what your reaction should be to something like that.
> it's a really interesting problem figuring out how to teach people what Alexa can/can't do

Well, for starters, it needs to interpret queries better :) I have Echos across the house, and one Google device I got for free. Google's implementation "understands" way, way more. Amazon's offering is more well supported and they are less likely to pull a Reader, otherwise I'd have switched by now.
If you need a personal assistant for your day to day life due to how much you're working, consider the idea that perhaps you're working too much.

CEO or not, no one needs to let their work consume their life.

It's your job to set an example for the rest of the team. Others might see how much you're working and assume that they need to, too. I've seen it happen a few times.

EDIT: Sorry, I failed to mention, my comment is in response to "personal tasks first and foremost." Having someone arrange meetings is a perfect business use case.

It's just a straight cynical political manipulation that aims to prevent any real action and keep selling coal. Australian government literally does not want to solve this.
We are WAAAAY past the industry problem. It's not a faulty Boeing or improperly constructed nuclear plant.

>>whole food plant based diet.

No..

That is all

Edit: Below I am accused of Rules violation, likely due to the short response. However I do not believe it is, the OP is wanting everyone to either voluntarily give up meat in favor or not just a plant based diet but an extreme version of that diet a "whole food plant based" diet

While my comment is (was) short, it is all words I needed to make my point, that diet is a non-starter, and should not be entertained as a feasible solution.

No

Is all I needed, and wanted say,

No

is all that needed to be conveyed

so I say again to the idea of a whole food plant based diet

No
John Deere should shit themselves to death. The planet is dying.
I’m not joking. But California is a really bad example because it still ignorantly celebrates the Spanish conquests that murdered, displaced, and whitewashed American Natives — see all the parks and roads named after Spanish conquistadors with plaques and monuments. E.g., De Anza.
If the lots are of value then someone will buy them and develop them to return a profit. Under a land value tax you expect land to be used more efficiently, not less.

It's actually pretty clear from new imagery the Amazon was significantly deforested and farmed before European diseases wiped out the natives.

And before that, the extinctions mammoths and mastadons (by humans) led to a lot of tree cover that was grassland when the grazers kept the forests in check.
Before Chris and Phil did what they did, there was nothing but the Pixar Standard in Western CG studio animation.

The artists you cite are not part of the industry, and the whole point is how Chris+Phil changed attitudes in the industry. The overall world always knew other styles were possible. But the industry needed a jolt.

I won’t push it any further, but they pretty much changed the industry attitude on this. I am aware of Fortiche’s previous work, but it’s a long way from a few million dollars in cinematics to this.

Even the style that Fortiche ie using in Arcane only seems to have fully developed in their other work in the past 2/3 years.

Anyway sort of a meaningless discussion. Not trying to prove anything, just saying they were leaders in this space.

what does that mean?
You get back your own money, effectively. The money isn't 'given away', but invested in the survival, health and well-being of elderly people.

It is technically trivial. Building business software is fundamentally a communication/knowledge problem with technical aspects.
"A fraction?" How much less do you think they can pay? This sounds suspiciously like the myth of off-shoring, get the same work for a fraction of the cost, but from what I've heard the competent ones quickly command more pay and are certainly not "a fraction" of a SF salary.
I’ve had an EA for three years dedicated to me (before that in my career it was always shared). They are definitely a super power, but only if you trust them. They really have to have a lot of context to do things you’d normally be doing. Without that trust you aren’t going to be getting the full potential out of the role.

I’ll give one example. My EA is aware that I have a desire to take some time off through the rest of the year. She knows what planned family vacations are of course and I gave her carte blanche to clear my schedule so I can take a day off here or there through the rest of the year. She knows my preferences in terms of ideal days of the week, which meetings are easy to reschedule vs which aren’t, what projects are especially hot right now, which execs I meet with that are usually flexible, etc. I keep her up to date on my priorities so she can always shift things appropriately. Project Take Time Off wouldn’t really be possible for me to delegate to her if she didn’t have all that context.
It has never worked differently. If you want to average out the pay you'll be paid much more closer to Bangladeshi pay than to SV one.
