Every dollar that Purism puts into its products as opposed to marketing is a dollar well spent. Good products advertise themselves. But before they can advertise themselves they need to become good. Catch 22. Purism is on the right track though.

I'd think it's less about test prep than it is about a stable home and family environment, how well/poorly local schools are funded, access to public libraries and the leisure time required of both parent and child to able to use all of the above. All of which is a lot more than $650 and all of which favors wealthier people.
I'm not sure what the real problem is, but we live in a economical system that have a tendency to hijack governance of things that are important to 'them' (whoever the contextual them are) and re-purpose it's goals and direction
working as a effective power-grab strategy.

You can see this happening with browsers for instance, where the companies now are the ones who define the standards with things that are important to them, like DRM or showing ads, embellishing the pill with things nerds and hackers also like, where once this governance where in the hands of Tim-Berners-Lee et al.

And that's because we are talking about technologies that born more free of corporation oversight, which is the minority.. (Think Java first with Sun and now with Oracle for instance)

This Rust thing is just because powerful corporations are adopting it, and defining board members, so they can define more the direction of the platform and the technology.

For those corporations corrupt board members that know who owns them and what interests they should defend are more important than the personal character of that board member..

It's always like this and it will always be like this. Capitalism is a amoral system and it will turn everything it touch into its own image..

Until we don't stop and fix the root cause of the system that is corrupting everything that we value its like thinking you can stop a ocean wave by resisting it while on front of it.

Note: I'm not advocating to just destroying capitalism as a solution, but to acknowledge that this is actually systemic and happen all over and instead to try to fix the specific problem caused by it, we should get back some steps and try to fix the problem, which is systemic, for everything while preventing it from happening all over again in the future.
By that logic, anyone with a locked door and curtains closed is a criminal
Companies usually exclude Colorado from remote job listings so they can post a separate Colorado-specific job posting that complies with the laws in that state. It doesn’t make sense to post the Colorado-specific pay range and job posting to every other state, especially when salaries vary so much between locations.

In my (limited) experience hiring Colorado employees remotely, we had to make several different job postings with various ranges to make sure we didn’t exclude any possible applicants for having too high or too low salary bands. If someone applied for the $200-$300K job description but didn’t have the right experience or performance during the interview, we could offer for them to “reapply” to the $150K-$200K job title and pick up there. It felt like a lot of formality with no real benefit to either side.

The Colorado law also doesn’t stop at the job listing. You have to follow specific procedures for various things after the employee is hired, too. I could see companies excluding Colorado just to simplify their operations and avoid opening themselves up to another state’s different employment laws.
Yes, that's how I read it too. At a guess, if the threat to resign didn't change anything the resignation also won't change anything and strongly suggesting the core team can not be trusted not to lie is a very harsh move that has the power to destabilize the whole Rust experiment. Massively dumb move this.
I was at a mixer recently and talking about digital assets with some other people at the table, I dont even think I said “crypto”, and this person from Amazon bee-lined into a holier than thou crypto[graphy] discussion as if there was ever any confusion. Followed by the distinctly corporate “enterprise blockchain has legs” before continuing their obscure irrelevant cryptography discussion. Of interest to them and not “big ole bad cryptocurrency” not noticing the relative morality of working for an exploitative corporation for decades.

This matches the level of socialization I’ve experienced with cryptographers my whole life.
The troubling part of this is that I genuinely cannot tell whether this is meant to be sarcastic or not…

It should be able to launch a lot more than that. Maybe the expendable second stage is the limiting factor here.
If reading anything other than PDFs is important the Boox is a better choice. Remarkable lags super far behind in ePub support, AFAIK it converts an ePub to PDF and then displays that. A large book will take a very long time to adjust the font size or other formatting because of that. General rendering support seems poor and it doesn't support any DRM scheme or library system so you're stuck stripping DRM off books and monkeying around with their app to get it onto the device. Boox of course can just run the Kindle or Libby Android apps.

Main thing people like about the Remarkable is writing feel which mainly comes down to the surface and the pen nib. You can literally use the RM pen and nibs on the Boox Air and a matte screen protector. MyDeepGuide on YouTube has recommendations on how to get a better feel on the Boox Note Air.
> The secret surveillance can't be used in a normal court of law. Especially here in Europe as we don't have secret courts.

You don't have secret courts.. yet. Anyway, it doesn't actually matter if you have secret courts or not, for high profile targets. The US has them and the US also has extradition treaties. And if you do have legislation against spying on your own citizens, your allies don't, they can do it for you and then share intelligence.

This whole effort is to short-circuit all of that and streamline an existing process.
You can add a comma to the end of that: ", as long as hospitals defer treatment of other diseases and treat unvaccinated covidiots".
I have a feeling that reMarkable hired some remarkable hardware wizards with GPL in their blood and then let some beancounters ruin the frontend.

reMarkable is great looking hardware with subpar software.

I should not need to SSH into a device to install Koreader to get an acceptable ereading esperience.

I rarely use my reMarkable 2 much preferring an old Kobo HD for bedtime reading and the original 13 inch Sony dpt-rp1 for larger A4 texts.

As the article says:
"If you are familiar with dedicated ebook readers, you will miss a dictionary, bookmarks and annotations. You can highlight parts of the text, but there is no index of annotations anywhere. This makes it unsuitable for some types of editing and annotated reading."

Surely those are not remarkable features to ask for?
On the flip side, supply and demand will keep wages high.

But, it will also bring more people into the field that will likely increase the amount of poorly written code that needs to be maintained.

What happened to all the talk around making the compiler do all of the work?
ITT: lots of people without kids, who appear to have a very very different relationship to in-office than anyone in my own circles, who do have kids.

No one I know with kids wants to give up flexible WFH. Not one.

No mystery why. Every minute commuting is a minute away from your already extremely limited family time. Every day without flexibility is a PITA wrt any of the myriad quiet duties parents have to move their kids around all day, which have now returned with their own vengeance because of the pandemic suppression of carpooling and public transit as viable options for many, particularly those with kids under 12, none of whom are yet fully protected, and won't be for weeks.
If an actual proposal comes out that would introduce mandatory screening, convince your representatives to vote against it.

There is no such proposal as of yet.

In my opinion, the last regulation applied in July 2021 was sound (final text: https://eur-lex.europa.eu/legal-content/EN/TXT/?uri=celex%3A...), allowing a 3-year extension to the existing practice of voluntary screening until a proper legislation can be finalized.

Some would have wanted to completely disallow voluntary screening (which would have been the case had the regulation not been adopted, due to privacy law changes in Dec 2020), too, and I can understand that position. But that is seemingly not shared by European Parliament who voted to allow voluntary screening to continue (they did shorten the time period to 3 years from the original 5, though, by an amendment).
You could consider Salesforce and learning it. There is a massive market with rather fun role / good spirited environments in the Salesforce universe. Go to trailhead.com and see if it something for you.

As an anecdote, I worked with Salesforce for a year as a consultant and it was a fantastic experience. Great tech, good solutions for the clients and the projects were good. Strangely sliding over to Service Now was easy after some time with Salesforce.
GCHQ has effectively no legal limit, UK may 'technically' be under ECHR rules but they don't have means of verifying that they actually comply.
...yeah I have to agree... xml is a bit trash, STL works and I don't see how the file format itself can preclude invalid structures, and as others have pointed out the whole text versus binary means a massive slowdown and inefficiency...

The algorithms and the vector compressions could likely be salveaged, but the whole positioning as a 'replacement' to STL seems like red herring marketing, with lock-in to whatever stdlibs they are providing.

It would have been better as a standard binary format, there are a number of choices...
Agreed, a single point of authority is useful.

Although in this scenario, isn't code of conduct something much more "local" that the ringleader doesn't really need to step in every time to enforce?

CoC is just something I expect everybody to enforce when needed. Having a dedicated team to do that seems odd to me. I guess you still need someone to issue bans and to wield the ban hammer, but it _should_ happen infrequently that simply informing the violator of their violation should be enough (unless they're a troll and will continue violating, in which case they can be kicked).

>> Why are we reading this on the SEC site and not the GoDaddy site?

This is typically by design and public relations 101. If you don't link "bad" content to your domain it's easier to make it disappear in the future. It's why a company purchases "our-data-breach.net" to handle a public incident instead of just a sub domain or deeply linked page. No long-lived anti-SEO
Apple to Provide DIY Repair Manuals on Website, Parts Store Will Be Third Party
I don't think OpenSea can vouch anything for things outside their ledger, and even in there they can only check the timestamps, which cannot tell anything about proof of real-life ownership (where those copyright laws work). So the ledger can vouch for my timestamp in this ledger as long everybody trusts only this ledger and not this other ledger. So while I agree NFTs are not meant to enforce copyright, I think also they don't go much in the direction of proving it either as long you still need some real-world oracle like the artist themselves or such. You can just check the artist website at this point, it can be more trustworthy than a timestamp in a ledger and just as open.
I've seen developers have trouble traveling for work without a related degree but that's about it. Some countries have tight requirements for work Visas.
That really has no bearing on the event.
And what, leave the Rust community not knowing that there's no CoC team because they've all resigned over something, but the community wasn't informed?

It's not like there's some membership card with paid dues. Their responsibility was to anyone that viewed themselves as part of the Rust community, and consumes anything to do with that community (whether or not they put anything into it).

Not informing all the people of that community because it appeases random public commenters would be a far worse failure of their duties than letting the general public gossip.
At least with animal subjects, you can ensure that the health, age, and severity of the 'injury' is exactly the same with all subjects.

You'll never get that with humans even if you have plenty of volunteers.

Sure. No one has ever faked a fingerprint to access phone of the partner or used a printout to trick facial recognition to see the latest mails.
Today even little Kids fake fingerprints of their parents to buy some microtransactions.
Prices would have dropped faster without covid. Shipping is really problematic on LFP cells direct from China right now. Combined with the surge in RV purchases, prices are not going to drop much further this year. But in a couple more years when things have smoothed back out, it's going to be great.
One of the biggest contributors to R's success over the past decade is folks having negative experiences with the Python community, particularly folks who are women, non-white, or come from non-CS background. The R community (and RStudio in particular) has worked hard to be much more inclusive and you can see this clearly reflected in the diversity of users and package authors.
agreed, would not even be surprised if this is being pushed by the larger established email / communication companies as a way to crush smaller competition. In much the same way Facebook is pushing for regulations that only Facebook can afford to implement.
Same story in my circle, which is all young singeltons. Nobody wants to have to commute down to Cupertino multiple times per week
It was 4 people until very recently. But it was only 4 for a long time. It's inaugural size (of which I was a part) was bigger than that. People leave over time and it's hard to get new members.

We acknowledged this in our statement. We suggested that the future mod team do a better job recruiting new members than we did.
The the answer in the science and medical communities is Almost Never "they're just mice, who cares"

That's fair. My comment above was maybe overly glib in that sense. But I was just trying to capture the general spirit of the thing, not write an essay, due to limits of time, interest, and knowledge on my part.
It's been a few years since I've been on Facebook, but doesn't facebook show your comments to your friends by default? It's not like Reddit or Hacker News where everyone sees the same comments, is it?
The scale of Jonestown is wild. I just watched the HBO docu series on Heaven’s Gate which it said was the largest mass suicide on US soil at ~40 people. Jonestown was over 20 times that. And obviously more of a murder-suicide. I realize some people would characterize Heaven’s Gate that way as well and you could argue it’s always that way given the coercive nature of cults but it really seemed like in that case they were quite open and deliberate about their plans and people had the opportunity to leave before they put them into action (and several people did). Versus being forced to drink poison at gunpoint in Jonestown.
Ask HN: Best Books on the JVM?
I've worked on JVM languages for a decade, and know it from a practical standpoint, but would like to dive into the internals of garbage collection, memory pools (eden space, survivor space), and threads (virtual threads, green threads, etc)
There is plenty of investment going into recycling. Basically recycling lithium from spent batteries is vastly easier compared to refining it from naturally occurring deposit that only have tiny trace amounts of it when measured in parts per million. That's why lithium is so expensive. There's no shortage of it but refining it from naturally occurring deposits is a very energy intensive process due to the low concentrations of it even in some of the richer deposits. Recovering it from a batteries that actually contain many kilos of it is going to be not a hard cost equation for a wannabe recycler. In the unlikely case that somebody were to actually dump EV batteries in a landfill that would just create a nice business opportunity for other companies. Much better to sell batteries directly to such companies.

But if you are genuinely worried about environmental impact, you should of course be very angry about anything ICE vehicle related where we convert fossil fuels into planet destroying quantities of CO2 without regard to how the oil is mined, how badly it destroys the environment or how many babies the exhaust fumes kill.

Exaggerating a little here but just making the point here that there is a bit of double standards here. When it comes to ICE vehicles, nobody gives a shit where their oil comes, how many children were involved mining the Cobalt involved in removing the sulfur from their diesel/petrol (yes, that's a thing). But as soon as we talk EVs people suddenly get hyper critical about how resources are mined and used and where stuff comes from. It's more than a little hypocritical.

Yes there are some challenges (and business opportunities) but it pales in comparison to the absolute dumpster fire that is the ICE vehicle industry and its apologists.
How? For example, a different memory model isn't something you can just flip a switch to fix — someone needs to review/test application code to see whether it has latent bugs which are masked (or simply harder to reproduce) on x86. Apple went to the trouble implementing support in their silicon to avoid that but if you don't run on similar hardware it's likely that you'll hit some issue in this regard for any multithreaded program, and those are exactly the kinds of bugs which people are going to miss in a simple cross-compile with limited testing.
I think newspapers mostly report the news. They also have things called opinion pages but those tend to be clearly marked as such and then there is this thing called advertising.
Because it’s misleading, countries have different methodologies and different coverage for testing Sweden doesn’t test vaccinated and only tests symptomatic unvaccinated, it also doesn’t do testing for children on any substantial level.

In the UK for example children are tested with lateral flow tests multiple times a week and each lateral flow test that isn’t negative also then requires a PCR test.

Also it seems that Sweden only accounts for PCR tests for reporting of cases, many countries now report positives from both PCR and antigen testing.

So this is still pushing the narrative that Sweden was right to not enforce a lockdown, which can easily be used to push the narrative that the looming lockdowns across Europe aren’t needed or won’t help.
Alder Lake performance numbers are for desktop with 3x the actual power usage. Alder Lake M goes down to 6P+8E cores for the big chip and 2P+8E cores for the low-power chip.

A15 has already been out and spoiled what's coming in M2.

Size

M1 is 119mm^2 and M2 is probably at most around 130-140mm^2 (depending on cache and RAM controllers) which is still smaller than 5800U at 180mm^2 and much smaller than Alder Lake mobile at 215mm^2.

Cache

A14 and M1 have 16mb of SLC (system level cache). A14 has 8mb L2 while M1 has 12mb. A15 doubled to 32mb SLC and jumped from 8 to 12mb L2. I suspect M2 keeps the 32mb. 12 or 16mb of cache will depend on the performance increase, but I suspect they'll stick with 12mb.

5800U has 4mb of L2 cache and 16mb of L3 cache. Alder Lake desktop has 14mb L2 cache and 30mb L3 cache (dropping to 9.5mb L2 and 20mb L3 on the 12600 and 7.5mb L2 and 18mb L3 on the leaked 12400).

Power

Peak power for M1 is around 15-20w absolute max power. A15 improved power efficiency 17% over A14, so we could actually see power usage improve. Those massive caches may slightly increase chip power, but they decrease memory accesses which radically decrease total system power. The chip running at far lower peak frequencies further helps to keep cache power consumption under control.

5800U can hit upwards of 50-60w peak power to keep the stated turbo speeds. Current Intel chips do this too and I suspect that Alder Lake won't be any different here.

CPU Performance

A15 P-core increases 8-10% (up to 37% on some things) and a lot of that was integer improvements. A15 E-core increased performance by about 30%. Their actual performance is close to Zen 2. Overall, performance in A15 was around 20% better than A14. GPU performance also jumped 32%.

M1 already handily beats 5800U in pretty much everything. I'd bet heavily that M1 beats the little Alder lake. I'm less sure about the bigger alder lake because I don't know what frequencies it will be able to sustain (I'd bet it still beats out M2 though).

GPU Performance

M1 shares SLC between the CPU and GPU. This works much like AMD's Infinity fabric to reduce necessary bandwidth and allows a pretty big increase in GPU performance over what would otherwise be possible.

AMD hit the iGPU wall a few years ago. They've slowly increased GPU resources as DDR bandwidth has increased, but that's about it. I'm really looking forward to Zen 4/5 + RDNA 2/3 + Infinity Cache, but I don't know when that will actually arrive. I've seen iGPU tests of the U770 on Alder Lake desktop and it's not even as fast as last-gen Iris Xe. The mobile variant will have 3x the GPU resources, but it still only looks to be 30% faster than last-gen and then only if it isn't bandwidth limited. This seems possible with DDR5, but I'd guess it's capped at last-gen performance on DDR4 systems.
Ask HN: Alternatives to Rust Programming Language
I have been evaluating new low level programming language to learn and for my project.

Rust is deemed good but recent drama/resignation and quite difficult trajectory to master it has made me to search for alternatives.

I don't want to program in C and I don't want to deal with complexity, that is C++

So, what is best alternative to Rust apart from C and C++ ? It would be better if that language has innovative features (like borrow checking to write safe code)
If you ever hunt up a copy of A Pattern Language by Christopher Alexander, Sara Ishikawa, and Mary Silverstein (the book that inspired Design Patterns: Elements of Reusable Object-Oriented Software) it is an interesting read.

Patterns 146, 151, and 152 get into the design of the office.

For example, 146 - Flexible Office - https://books.google.com/books?id=FTpxDwAAQBAJ&pg=PA690&lpg=...

It is a fascinating book to read (and you don't need to consume it all at once). There are things in there that helped me understand why my house (it had its stairs reversed in the 1920s) has a flow to it that leads to certain rooms getting less use than they were designed for - the staircase from the 2nd floor living space now goes to the back door (rather than the center of the house) which means 2nd floor to garage is an easy transition while 2nd floor to front door is a harder one. That in turn makes it more natural (for this design of the house) to go out the garage door and along the sidewalk past light commercial when going down town than out the front door and past neighbors through the residential roads.
