> We aren't talking about being more power efficient than IBM's desktop workstation architecture of the 90's.

What we're talking about is the thing that Apple puts in laptops. And there is a reason they switched to Intel and not ARM at the time when they did.

> We're talking about having better power efficiency than ARM.

There are two classes of ARM processors you could be talking about.

One is the kind they put in low end Android phones. These have excellent performance per watt because they prioritize efficiency over performance. They are thereby slower.

The other is processors with performance competitive to Intel Core processors. The only ARM processor in this class is Apple's, and it has a process advantage.

> However, to attempt to break into that market, Intel intentionally sold their chips at a very large loss for quite some time.

This is confusing two things.

One is how much it costs to manufacture a chip vs. how much you sell it for. The other is the net profit or loss of the business unit, including the R&D cost of developing the microarchitecture.

Intel's problem with Atom isn't the performance per watt, it's the price/performance. It's too slow for how expensive it is. It's not that much faster than much cheaper ARM processors, so nobody wants it for that price. What they were asking was so excessive that even after heavily discounting it, it was still too expensive. The only place it really got used was netbooks running Windows where being x86 was the thing that made it worth the premium. So they never reached the volumes needed to recover the R&D.

To compete with low performance ARM processors in the low end of the market, you have to compete on price. Intel doesn't want to do that, but nothing else will work there, because that market is highly price sensitive.

In the high end mobile market, i.e. workstation-class laptops, Intel had the best performance per watt up until the point that they lost their process advantage. Before then no ARM processors in that market had better efficiency because no ARM processors in that market existed.
This sounds awesome. A few questions: What were some of the biggest insights which lead to a 5x faster build process? And how do you afford to provide the liquidity upfront?
> all but 1 of the issues they found relates to test code, it seems people are a little less careful compared to functional code.

Also a factor that bugs in functional code are more visible, both during development and to users once shipped. So there may have been an equal number or more such bugs in the non-test code, that just didn't remain in the code base for this long.
At least one person is arguing precisely that in this thread.

For reference, a mining rig that pulls 5kW will likely cost you around $20-30k and will generate a significant amount of heat. You would likely need to install a ventilation system to deal with the heat even in the winter months.

It is also worth mentioning that in places with net metering, the excess electricity isn't "free". Excess electricity gets sold back to the grid at retail rates, and the proceeds from that are used to offset consumption during non-daylight hours. So unless you have a significant credit on your utility bill every year that you cannot utilize (most utilities will not pay you cash for the excess), then mining crypto with you "excess" solar would just result in paying for more electricity when your panels are not producing.

This is to my point. There are a ton of single issues that some group is going to say needs to be a higher priority.

I was interested so I looked up the FDA's regulatory affairs [1], which "conducts sample analyses of regulated products and reviews imported products offered for entry into the United States" This seems pretty inline with their core mission so I'm not surprised they spend a lot of time on it.

I am doing it as soon as I purchase a house! I couldn't afford one until SB9—I could make the down payment, but because of my low income (obviously its relative) it would be hard to make loan payments. With SB9, I can develop with Homestead, and use the sale value to reduce my payments, so I can focus on adding more housing with Homestead!

Most of the homeowners who wanted ADUs were lower income & couldn't find financing (likely not HN community). These are multigenerational households where the children live in the house their parents bought with them and their kids. They work two jobs—their yard is rarely used—no one stopped to mourn it.

They wanted to make money to help lighten the economic burden of living where they grew up, and maybe not work the night shift, or have to provide their own childcare while working full time.

I imagine a large subset of HN and the tech community will not want to lose their yards-and its a free world, we aren't going to take them away!

spacemacs is great but doom is night and day faster. I use doom for just magit now and the startup time is almost negligible and the other affordances are still there if you want them.

spacemacs has a maintainer problem and some serious debt that needs to be paid before it is a worthy contender in my opinion. the whole you need to run on dev branch and it's many (thousands?) of commits ahead of the main branch and having many many stale/outdated/broken issues is not tenable.

For me the surtax would raise my taxes payroll from 12.05% to 14.05% or roughly 10k and all things considered I make a lot of money. If my employer stopped providing health insurance and instead paid the approximately 4.5% (estimated as I don't see the actual schedule of payroll tax only that it kicks in at 50k and tops out at 2.25%) business side of this. We still come out about even.
>I think it’s worth doing the math on how much it costs you in healthcare coverage before really judging a book by its cover here. If my compound deductions are the same who cares if it’s just taxes?

Have you done this analysis? Most employers cover a portion of your employer sponsored health insurance. Are you expecting that your employer will just add this amount back to your salary?

At no point in my career, going back to fast food in college, have I ever spent 5-10% of my income on insurance. I would have to include the employer portion to even get close to that.
Typically when many processes share memory it is with a fixed-size buffer for things like a database page cache or the Apache scoreboard. Or sometimes one process creates a data file and then one or many processes mmap it read-only (your "one-time" case, I think). It's true that sharing dynamically growing and shrinking data structures becomes complicated, but multithreading doesn't make it less complicated, it just moves the complication somewhere else.

Probably you shouldn't use select() or poll() in a library unless it's something like libevent. Libraries that want to own the event loop are impossible to use together unless you're willing to resort to multithreading.

Yes, it's true that you can use F_DUPFD (or dup2()) to request a high-numbered file descriptor. As I see it, that's not really a matter of luck. The only reason I can think of to do that is for some sort of art project or side-channel communication where your file descriptor numbers spell out a message or something.
> socialization of the health-care system shall produce the following [...]

It should also produce better health outcomes for the people living there. Maybe you have a well-paid job and good insurance plan, and can enjoy good healthcare now, but that is not the case for many others and can change for you if you are unlucky.

Even a very poor country like Cuba has higher life expectancy than the US. Most developed countries have better health outcomes than the US, while spending way way less on healthcare.

There may be deeper causes for this beyond the privatized healthcare system in the US, such as the legalized political corruption (lobbying, PAC's) and litigation law leading to huge overhead costs in everything. These will be even harder to change.

I've submitted a few minor PRs (doc changes, typing changes, test fixes, some small features) over the last few years as a non-core developer. To be fair, some changes were reviewed promptly so the problem of reviews taking a long time doesn't necessarily reflect on Python as a whole.

In my experience, typeshed changes were always reviewed promptly and Mariatta reviewed a bunch of simple doc fixes within a couple of days.

Contributing to libraries that didn't have an established owner definitely took longer to get reviewed (even more so for features that only a subset of developers would use). I sent an email on the mailing list to follow up after a while and Guido ended up merging one of the changes. For another PR (to fix a broken test that had been broken for years) a core developer assigned various reviewers, who all unassigned themselves. After a year of no activity, I then followed up directly with a core developer during their office hours and we walked through the review together.

Being a volunteer-run project means that they work on things during their free time, and during my discussion with one of the core developers they highlighted that since Python is volunteer-run, they can't really force anyone to do reviews—people just work on whatever they want, whenever they want. I think that's fair, but it certainly biases away from people who submit a few contributions outside of the core developer group. We also talked about the recommendations in the dev guide about reviewing code as a non-core developer, since it seemed like a sort of chicken and egg problem where people who aren't core developers won't/aren't able to review code. And even if they do, their review isn't necessarily conclusive to getting a change reviewed and approved by a core developer, who likely will just ignore their review (since there's no credibility).

I don’t judge a developer of high-density housing for wanting to live in a low-density location. If you’re creating or financing the creation of housing, it’s an overall contribution to the solution. I don’t blame you for doing that but living in a lower density area any more than I’d judge you for creating a bunch of small, affordable housing units and living in a large, expensive house.

oh darn, another pillar of moral rectitude is going after me, another day another HN comment as it were - very well then these are scooters https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71h6t5-7v7L._AC_SL1500_.... and so is this https://cdn.thewirecutter.com/wp-content/media/2021/12/elect... they both fall into the category of scooters although they perform at far different levels to where you can say the experience of them is far removed from each other.

The difference of course between our two analogies, is that a tumor like autism is something that has been observed by people and not constructed by them, and we do not know much the reason why some tumors are benign and some not and we do not know much the reason why some people with autism are severely disabled and some not. But we do know why some scooters have electric motors and some do not.

In fact it may be that at some point in the future the autism spectrum will be broken up and be identified as several different disabilities, lets say Preboscot's behavioral pattern for those with a range of light autistic behaviors and Ternobyni's syndrome for those with what we would describe as heavy autism today and in that imagined future these different disabilities do not have any actual connection to each other but just manifest in some similar symptoms, the same way that diamonds and clear quartz might have some similarities in appearance.

But until that imagined future comes to pass we live in a present where the the extremes of the autism spectrum are still defined as autism.

I hope that my explanation is acceptable to you, and if you feel a need to morally elevate yourself over others via the sport of internet commenting you pick another target as the night has just started where I am, and my severely disabled autistic child sometimes only lets me have a few hours of sleep as it is, I would at least like to spend the time before he wakes up and wants to jump about relaxing instead of in meaningless argumentation.

Ctrl-c raises a KeyboardInterrupt error, which is useful for programs to catch. If you type

>>> exit
Use exit() or Ctrl-D (i.e. EOF) to exit

You will get that error response. The goal of this is to have the REPL language the exact same as the scripting language. exit() is supposed to be called as a function to make the language more consistent, so just typing `exit` will do nothing

I always thought this, but people don't seem to find the convenience of async as a strong selling point over threads. There isn't a fundamental reason, but doing something like:

thing1_promise = get_thing(1)
thing2_promise = get_thing(2)

thing1 = thing1_promise.await
thing2 = thing1_promise.await

is almost always more difficult to do with threads. Sure, some threading APIs support joining nicely but it tends to be more awkward. Especially if you want to do something like handle the first request to finish first.

Also the startup cost of threads affects how you write code. Does your library spawn a new thread for every HTTP request? Probably not, it is expensive and the server may be on the same host. So you end up with less consistent async support. Since async programming is a lot cheaper you tend to see better support which adds up.
I like the concept, but the name is terrible.

Why draw the line of causation there? That seems a bit ridiculous. France had issued the same ultimatum, and declared war just a few hours later.

Both France and Britian were obligated by treaty to defend Poland. Germany started the conflict, and knew full well that they would force other countries to get involved. To claim otherwise is counter-factual.

If you punch a police officer in his face, and his partner knocks you out, you can't claim the partner started the fight.
