The 'benchmarks' would be more interesting if it was performed on a larger more complex codebase. In particular, I'm curious how much the link-time-optimizations that we have today fare against earlier toolchains that don't have this. Basically, I want to interpret "Compiler Advances" as more than version number.
Agree with a lot of this but there's something to be said about 1. daily routine and morale, having a normal routine is a good thing for everyone, even kids who don't "succeed" in academic measures at all, and 2. losing years of time of socializing in-person where you make lifelong friends or have experiences that form your place in the world.

I had no friends in school until 10th grade when I joined a club that somewhat let me be myself and have fun with other weird kids. If that was taken away from me soon after I joined it would have been pretty terrible!
> It's little wonder to me that discord and slack have eaten IRC's lunch, sadly.

Discord and Slack have the great advantage of being freemium proprietary software that don't have to inter-operate with any software not written by their own companies. They're paid more to hit a much easier target.

I'll never be surprised when well-funded projects outperform volunteer-run projects. Even the Linux kernel is funded by different entities.

How do you feel about Matrix and some of the other new-age FOSS chat systems?
Quite true, and he was coerced!

There are two important lessons to take from iMessage:

1. Simplicity in product design and UX is key here. You sign in with your AppleID when you setup the phone and then it's basically seamless: it'll use AppleID through Apple's messaging systems and infrastructure when it can, otherwise it uses SMS.

2. Steve Jobs completely turned the mobile phone industry on its head by creating a product users wanted and then extracting conditions from telcos. This was the reason for years of AT&T exclusivity. It allowed devs to install apps on the device (rather than the telco gatekeeeping that). Telcos couldn't install their crapware on the phones (eg Japanese telcos resisted the iPhone for years because of this). The iMessage system broke the SMS monopoly.

Google's model of creating an OS and then putting a suite of apps on top of that allowing phone manufacturers and telcos to "customize" the experience (ie putting their crapware on; Bixby anyone?). One can argue they had to do this to win market share. Or that it's "right". Either way, for many users this is a worse experience.

Compare this to the 217 different chat apps that are in the Google graveyard. Maybe because of the Android model it wasn't possible but quite literally Google did everything they could not to copy iMessage.

Hangouts, Chat or whatever it's called now has been around for 15+ years and seems like such a missed opportunity. Google didn't budge on your email being identity (which Eric Schmidt later stated was a mistake) and it's weird how primitive Google's chat apps are (eg AFAICS there's no easy way to send GIFs in Chat, like WTF?).

I don't think the green/blue thing was planned by Apple in terms of status. It is easy marketing though. People like iPhones so the blue bubble is a kind of flex though. I suspect that was more incidental than planned.
Did you check the linked bug and its suggested workaround? It's nothing an update note would address. It's just random breakage. There are a lot of these issues scattered across their bugzilla.
There is no vaccine for children under five. As long as we've got children in our lives, we all need to go out of our way to protect them - even those of us with masks and vaccines are getting Omicron.

> Download an older python version(not too old since that would break everything else) from the arch package archive.

Unless you explicitly disabled it, you should have old packages archived in `/var/cache/pacman/pkg`. So you can simply downgrade via `pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/python-x.y.z`; no need to go to an (possibly untrusted) archive.
literally my first foray into the "internet", was telnetting from a dialup BBS to an IRC port, and issuing the raw IRC commands (someone had given me enough info to join a channel and basically say hi.. ).
I still don't trust it, given how aggressively it was pushed.
This is exactly right. The regulations are “scale discriminatory”. Written with the “help” of lobbyists paid for by big businesses that fully understand these economics. Classic regulatory capture.
But it's not: it's rephrasing the question in terms of Python code that asks SymPy or other libraries to answer the question; or uses very very basic formulas of its own (such as "probability of X not happening = 1 - P(X)"). That's not really impressive, especially since it only achieves this with very explicit prompting, and all intermediary steps covered in the prompts.
This is the best article on web 3 I have read thus far. Probably because this guy actually bothered to create some dApps (as one of 7 in the world I think).
What I found more interesting is that "procedural news knowledge" made participants less likely to say that they would share a headline if that headline was false. But maybe it just helps with identifying proxy signals like which outlet the headline was most likely sourced from.
It's not unrealities, it's just that you want some cushion before your life insurer goes bankrupt. That's why statutory and GAAP are different accounting standards.
Ask HN: Have you used resume or comp negotiation services like levels.fyi?
Hello HN,

I'm currently taking a sabbatical from work but I'm planning to start looking for something new in March. I've seen services like those from levels.fyi for resume review and salary negotiation and I'm curious about whether doing so would be worthwhile for me.

Have you used either or both of these types of services? If so, who provided the service? How much did it cost? Do you feel like it was worth the money you paid?

For context, I have over 20 years of development experience, with about 10 in technical lead positions. I'm going to be looking for either an IC position at a level above senior (lead, staff, principal) or a combined IC/management position that manages a team of engineers and also has technical leadership responsibilities. If you've used these services for a similar level please note that in your response, since that will be extra relevant.

Thank you for your input!

(Note: I'm not linking to my resume because I don't want this to seem like I'm trawling for free resume review on the sly!)

at least at apple the dockerfile for their images were < 50 lines. Like super tweaks on the AL2 image. Every 60 days you need to pull it in. So you are right they just keep it up-to-date and keep it to the vendor images as well.

"Proof of work" answers none of them.

New cryptocurrencies appear all the time. This dillutes the cryptocurrency space. There's only so much capital to invest in any of them.

And the dollar has value, because they're backed up by a government. Not because the bills themselves have an intrinsic value.

The only thing that stops you from having Signal group chat is you and people you talk to. When I deleted WhatsApp few years ago, I dropped a message to all my contacts informing them I'm moving to Signal and I included a link if they wanted to download it. Alternatively, I'm happy to still use iMessage/SMS or e-mail. 80% of my friends installed Signal.
There is no way to confirm this claim so its as good/bad as whatever all the other providers say. Personally I think they are more likely to actually care and delete the stuff properly because they have no use for it and it costs them serious money to keep storing it. But that's just a opinion.
You could borrow against a house in '08 or against tulips in 1634. If it's the rising side of the market, you'll make a killing doing this. If it's the opposite side, then your collateral will vanish.

Whether vanishing collateral matters to you depends a great deal on the nature of the debt you took out and what you spent the loan on.

I can’t imagine actually using SMS, iMessage or not. It’s just an inferior experience to basically any other chat solution.

The only thing I actually use SMS for are things that make me do MFA with it, and even that is a worse experience than the alternatives(I’m not saying you shouldn’t have MFA, just that SMS is inferior to most other approaches).
Stocks would continue to be denominated in shares. I've never heard of a stock being denominated in currency, but maybe there is one out there like that. A share is usually something like I own 1/N of the interest in the company so the formula of ownership is m/N where m is number shares you own and N is the number of total shares (some simplification here, but roughly accurate). Market clearing determines how much people will pay for a stock, which happens in all sorts of currencies.
Honestly, automatically screening people like this out of your life seems like a feature.

> You don't really need to do this if you provide a strong welfare state

Why is providing a welfare state a prerequisite here? From where do you derive the need to protect people from the total consequences of their failure or misfortune by forcing the collective to bear the burden?

> all taxation is oppression?

Of course it is - it's robbery. Just like the draft is slavery. The important question is "What circumstances make it ethical to rob/enslave people?". They do exist, but they are quite limited.

> do you want the government to use more force

It's not about degrees of force, it's about what situations force is applied to. The only acceptable application of force (read violation of liberty) is to defend liberty itself from imminent danger. Applying any degree of force to compel cooperation is indistinguishable from that degree of slavery. What's the problem with strictly voluntary, at-will, consensual interaction between people?
The procedure they use is this:

1. Start with a real question from an MIT math course.

2. Human operator translates the question as Codex Input.

3. Codex outputs Python code, usually with references to SymPy to actually solve the problem (e.g. sympy.solve(equation, initial_conditions) ).

4. Python code is run, result is taken as result of question.

If step 3 or 4 are not giving the expected answer, repeat step 2 with a different phrasing until answer is correct.

Claim 100% accuracy.
Oh yeah, plantain spread everywhere with the settlers. It's quite a different plant. I think I've seen it used more as a poultice than something you consume.
But it is backed by reputation, threat of litigation and physical violence (police/military) if you try to interfere with it, where as crypto doesn't yet have this.

Hm, I think I'd argue that the problem with this is that it results in muddy thinking.

Practices that improve your ability to make money are what the market is fundamentally about. Ideally, those are practices that develop the best products/services at the best value, but there are a whole number of ways to make money as a small participant without doing that. Loyalty cards / buy-nine-get-one-free punch cards are a great example of this: the punch card from my local deli serves only to make me decide not to try out other, perhaps comparable delis. Then the other delis all introduce punch cards, and then they maintain their same set of customers, and a marginal improvement in product at one place will result in attracting far fewer customers than it otherwise would. The whole system is, unquestionably, anti-competitive. But what do you do about it? Certainly there's no monopoly. Do we want to make this illegal, and on what grounds?

To be clear, maybe we should make it illegal - but what does that world look like, exactly? Do we also make it illegal to drip-market customers with discounts? To offer them subscriptions (a la Amazon's "subscribe and save", or a la Lyft Plus)? To sell products that are larger sizes so people make fewer decisions about who to purchase from? etc.

Even before we get to the problem of appropriate use of government power, there's the question of what we want society to ideally look like. Is it inappropriate, even if it's legal, to do any of the things above?

Or put another way, the grounds for anti-monopology legislation is that it is one of the rare known failures of the free-market thesis, that competition will incentivize people to offer the best products/services. But if every tiny deli finds themselves incentivized to be anti-competitive, what should we do about it?

This seems like a good idea. There are not enough EV's on the road yet to justify the cost of such a charging truck, so perhaps it needs to be subsidized by the government, similar to chargers, in order to be able to deal with powerless EV's stuck on a highway. I'd also like to see compact gasoline generators or spare battery packs that could be used to get 10-15 miles of range and stored in a trunk or on a rear deck.
As far as I can tell it only really needs the fuel to maintain an L2 orbit, which is important because if it's too far away we can't really communicate with it effectively (i.e. actually download much of the data it's generating). For orientation it uses reaction wheels as you mention, and then there's a general plan to desaturate these momentum wheels by managing the average orientation of the telescope (it's effectively like an inverted pendulum: the solar wind will push it further away from having its back to the sun), but this might intefere with some observations so they may burn some fuel to maintain orientation in certain circumstances.

https://space.stackexchange.com/questions/35399/how-will-jws...

Kepler used a similar strategy (though I don't know what its desaturation strategy was): it only ran out of fuel very quickly after its reaction wheels failed.
Does this happen with Signal or Element? If not, you could ask your Android contacts to use a cross-platform messenger such as those, like the rest of the world does with WhatsApp.

What "dirty tactics" are you referring to that negatively impacted DDG's growth?
Pipelining allows rendering and app logic to run in parallel. You can adapt to changes from the network when the app logic runs, so in that sense, it seems like a good fit. And you can use bevy_tasks to spawn background tasks (and spawn tasks across different thread pools, if that is required). I think it is worth considering Bevy, but I also think Rend3 is a great piece of software. We discuss rendering with that project's lead constantly :)
One of the arguments that I see against crypto being a Ponzi scheme is that the stock market is just people looking to sell stock to some other sucker for a higher price so its the same thing.

We seem to have become almost completely detached from the idea that investment valuations should be tied to present and future cash flows from an operating business that is providing value.

So yes, more and more the whole top-half of the economy is a bubble, while the bottom half is being overrun with flat-out scams (and crypto is sort of the best of both worlds).

The actual best outcome I think we can hope for is that the labor shortage is real and workers have much more negotiating power now which will lead to a wage-price spiral with high inflation for the next decade and resetting the game through dollar devaluation. This is the high employment solution where wages rise faster than e.g. housing prices and without falling prices there's just a slow corrosive effect on the real value of housing without a sharp drop. The real value of debts would also be erased by inflation.

The alternative would be a hard deflationary stop to the economy. Since everyone is terrified about inflation, though, this is what I expect will happen. This will be the high unemployment option but the value of the dollar will be retained, while asset prices will crash. Right now that seems impossible in the current climate, but if this happens we will suffer a sharp reversal (people will correctly blame the bubble on inflationary policies and then predictably apply harsh austerity during the crash).

That fact that I probably sound delusional to a lot of readers here is why I'm pretty sure the latter outcome is where we're heading. Everyone is now a believer in the quantity theory of money and that the Fed is irresponsible. When the wind suddenly does a 180 we're going to make it all worse.
Where I come from everyone uses Facebook Messenger, so we don't have this problem.

Good thing omicron appears to not be effecting the lungs as much. Death is only one outcome but improvements in death rates require an underlying mechanism which can impact those other consequences too. To your point, you shouldn't look at one piece of data in isolation but you also don't have to assume the worst case either; it is possible that things are getting better.

Would you happen to know if they can make intermediate observations while this is in process e.g. observe a relatively nearby object before the telescope is fully cooled and aligned? I'm wondering if they would be able to prove out the optics early on - this is no slam dunk as the Hubble proved.
JWST was built to see in IR to help us get answers to a set of important questions. The best known one being trying to elucidate the question around the rate of expansion of the universe. We hope to get some answer by looking at objects much further away in space and time with the JWST and getting new estimates for the expansion rate. Something we cannot do today.

You don't need two telescopes to do that, you just need one with a specific set of IR capabilities.

Sure, having twice the imaging power is better, but it's definitely far from doubling the benefits. The lifetime of the JWST is expected to be 10+ years, that's a lot of data that will come to us already, and everything the astronomer community deems important will have time on the telescope.

Just like we only needed 1 LHC to confirm the existence of the Higgs boson and the robustness of the standard model. Building two of those would have been a massive waste of money, it was much better to build one, run experiments, assess the results and then use the money that was saved by building a single one to build new tools with new capabilities to answer the new questions.

Of course the reality of government budgeting is a little bit more complicated than my rosy picture but the point stands.
