It's not that it's "isn't totally free market". It's as much "not totally free market" as North Korea is "not totally a libertarian state". It's one of the most tightly regulated and controlled areas of the economy. Literally every aspect of anything needs an approval - sometimes multiple ones - from regulatory organs. You can not become provider in the market without passing a myriad of regulatory barriers, which would make an average tech startup founder faint. You can not remain a provider without constantly complying with a mountain of always changing and mutating reporting requirements and compliance checks. Pretty much every regulatory scheme ever been thought up by a man is somewhere in medicine. And yet, we have this insane system. Whatever it is, it's not lack of regulation that caused it.
Its not that different from how eu claims that gdpr applies to all european citizens even if living abroad.
I would love clearview's business model and models like it to be illegal. All sorts of internet businesses claim that they can't know the provenance of their data and therefore can't comply with certain laws. They then argue that that means they shouldn't have to comply. It really should go the other way: if you can't comply, then your business is illegal.

Sure but this goes against "Don't communicate by sharing memory", no?
We do not permit direct access to any application databases across any network. If something in one of our SQLite databases needs to be adjusted in an operational context, it needs to be done by way of some administrative interface that we have integrated into the product.

For offline troubleshooting/QA/Dev, we would simply grab a copy of the database from wherever and we would analyze it using DB Browser for SQLite. We actually use this tool so often that I felt it necessary to contribute to the author's Patreon account. It really is an amazing tool. Try reading/editing a binary field containing an image or other file in SSMS...

Having extreme discipline with your schema, queries, indexes, etc. is critical for being able to operate like this. If you are uncertain of what should live in what table, you probably just want to work against a hosted database engine until the whole team can agree on one standard path that you can burn into your codebase.

We did NOT start with SQLite for all the things. We had to make a lot of mistakes with hosted SQL providers before getting to this level of confidence.
What do you have in mind? Always hiding second parents of second parents? Or a special marker in G's commit message?
I don't think that's happening. Here are the Chesterton's Fence stories that have made HN's front page:

It's true that it's an internet cliché though—so much so that Chesterton seems in danger of turning into his fence.
That's a great paper! I really appreciate you finding that; it was a great read and does go further in depth than the funcChar docs.

It unfortunately doesn't seem to disambiguate the specific question of if floating point execution units were implemented via microcode unless I'm missing it.
I'm answering to you but this is really for most siblings:

I maintain a fairly large TS code base (nodejs backend). I think a full rebuild is 1:30 on my relatively recent laptop (i7-8650U, lots of RAM). But in practice I always use tsc -w and compile is mostly instant after editing a file (I do have to wait whenever I launch the command after I boot, but after that, it's fast enough).

tsc now support incremental compilation too, though I haven't played with it too much as I'm happy with watch mode.
I agree both of these are useful skill but overly focusing on these concerns me. In your experience, is there a possibility that this lead to bias? Folks who are first generation immigrants, may not have gone to the top schools, may be very productive but not as fluent with English as native speakers. How do you account for this?

In my experience, people who are highly creative are not always crisp at communication. How do you reconcile this? I work as a research scientist and this is from sample across multiple top-tier research labs.
i do agree
oblio is the one who brought up the Opium wars as a justification for China stealing IP. That is whataboutism. Responding to whataboutism with examples showing the original whataboutism as invalid is perfectly fine, IMO.
If they focus on the core features and make a significant enough improvement, perhaps the core TS team could be convinced to pull it in as a native extension and make calls to it for the operations it covers? If something like 62x improvement is really achievable, it's hard to imagine the team not being interested at all.

I would personally be very happy to use a significantly slimmed down subset of TypeScript if it provided a 62x performance improvement. Slow type checking is currently the main drawback of TypeScript development in large projects.
You can actually go see Endeavor in real life at the L.A. Science Center. Admission is like $2. Regardless of the size, the spectacle is breathtaking.
If your device is no longer able to get updates, and there is no viable alternative OS that you can run, it is no longer perfectly good. Perfectly good for electronics recycling perhaps.
No, it's simply not. Not when the battery can actually be replaced for $49. The battery is replaceable.

I'm curious about the origin of the fallacy that intelligence/innovation can only be found in anti-authoritarians/rebels (this is often deployed as "Our Freedom(TM) is why the US will always be number 1!"). Pro-government people can innovate just fine (e.g. GCHQ, NSA & defense industry)
I believe science fiction can wake us up to our climate reality. But I don't think The Ministry For The Future is the book to do it.

You cannot "wake people up" by repeating conventional wisdom. And the beliefs represented in Ministry just seem like very traditional left-wing views to me. Big corporations are bad, we need to give diplomats and other government officials more power, once we just get really left-wing political leaders in charge the problem will be solved.

As far as KSR's eco-futurist science fiction goes, I preferred New York 2140 for its vivid portrayal of a flooded New York City. It has a bit of the same attitude, though, especially toward the end - if only our economy were organized into communes and workers' collectives instead of large corporations, surely those forms of business would appropriately prioritize the environment and lead us out of our troubles.

It is pretty cool that the author of this article went hiking through the Sierra with KSR. Shaman was a great book and this article gives you hints of how his knowledge of the wilderness enriched it.
What is natural immunity? Can it only be achieved by anti body response? Or also T-cell response?
> The cool kids went to London, Tokyo and Poughkeepsie for training courses

I grew up around the city on that list that ain’t like the others. The idea that “cool kids” would be sent there, on _purpose_, and as some kind of _reward__, just made me laugh and laugh even though i know why it’s true and that it’s not a joke.
Fawning commentary like this regarding CCP "achievements" continues to baffle me. Is there really this much cluelessness regarding commie methodologies?

You have no regulatory environment. No evaluations. No impact studies. No oversight. Shoddy workmanship. Substandard materials. Slave labor. Bribery. Nepotism. Cronyism. Bid-rigging. And so forth and so on...

What's amazing about any of this?
In the spirit of recycling, let me repeat the remark I made on the thread about the problem of software subscriptions: this is what you get for not supporting FOSS, especially its R&D.
Yup, I agree with you too and to me the slippery part is to talk about ratios.

Definitely absolute values have a meaning to me, otherwise would not make sense to talk about billionaires and non billionaires and a better classification would be starving and non starving people.
yup, i messed this up, apologies. site is handling the traffic better now thanks to cloudflare
Exactly. I hate this business-owner-centric framing that treats employees as property of their employers being stolen.

They aren't. They are voluntarily choosing jobs that are more beneficial to them.
> So, as an order of magnitude, the price asked by Qualcomm for extended support is 1M$.

Do you have a source for that? That does seem pretty low.
>I also never spend more than $500 on a phone, which has iPhones out of reach.

I migrated to Android back in the IPhone 8 and IPhone 10 Max Plus++ whatever era. I just couldn't deal with a $1000 phone.

But now Apple has the IPhone SE which goes for as low as $399.
This is not really an improvement. 3 years of OS updates is pathetic and unacceptable.
If you kill all humans then who cares if the planet is still around or not?
It’s too far to say that “”wage gains aren’t good”, but he makes a good point about wage increase, inflation, and tax brackets I hadn’t thought of before
And the thing is the people from these "European city" aren't low wage burger flipping workers. They are educated Phds, devs who struggle to live on their own or own a house.
If you moved out of LA 20 years ago and lived there for 15 years you would not have lived in LA at the time of Rodney King incident and the LA Riots which was in 1992. As such you have no basis or credibility to make commentary and comparisons between LA before versus after the Riots. As someone who was there before, during and after I can say you have no idea what you are talking about. There was no momentous shift or even appreciable difference in LA in the aftermath of the riots. Further the "multicultural aspect of Los Angeles" did most certainly not get "blown to pieces." The weeks after 9/11 the palpable feeling was one of introspection, unity and kindness. So much so that the joke was it was starting to make people uncomfortable.
They aren't claiming worldwide jurisdiction, right? That would be like them saying they'll force clearview to stop business in the US.
>"Well if you target 0% and any actual result below 0% happens, that's deflation which is a disaster for economies."

It's not actually clear that deflation causes economic problems for the commonly cited reason (decrease in consumer spending). I think you're right about most of what you say concerning inflation.

nice article

hopefully the power shift of web2 middle management to web3 leaders will not just repeat the cycle again
they usually do 2 medium problems in 45-50 minutes, first one is generally an easy medium, second is a bit more challenging. Chance of failing is dependent on many variables, you should practice some leetcode and hope that luck is on your side.
Samsung definitely makes Qualcomm devices. So that argument is bullshit.
> “A bittering agent (Denatonium Benzoate) has also been applied to the game card,” the spokesperson said, adding that Nintendo recommends keeping Switch cartridges away from children “to avoid the possibility of accidental ingestion.” The representative also noted that denatonium benzoate is non-toxic.

That was unexpected and interesting.
> They exist. I'm not sure why your dismissing them. Sure the majority is OOP but again that doesn't mean anything.

Of course they exist. And they are the exception. That's entirely the point.

> Sure the majority is OOP but again that doesn't mean anything.

Of course it does. Developers choose OOP and over and over again even after decades of failed attempts to unseat with supposedly better technologies.

To deny that is to claim the earth is flat.

> You think just because map and reduce exist as methods in java makes it a functional language?

No, but it certainly demonstrates the success of functional concepts even in an OOP language.
How do you manage backups of your database and how often?
As much as I love the feeling of writing something clever or that feels really well done, I hate the feeling of realizing it's the wrong thing even more.
it really depends on what you're working through.

i do this on occasion while experimenting and thinking through an architectural design. what matters is whether the end result is representative of the time spent on iteration and writing thrown-away prototypes. i will often not start writing code until a reasonable path is formed in my head, and then i may write a prototype that doesnt work out and have to loop back and rethink various aspects. it may take a week with nothing but vague updates in daily standups, but then something awesome to show that has gone through a bunch of private "pre-alphas".

> For more senior engineers, it can happen because they like to work on their own and may be overconfident in finding solutions.

this really only applies if you:

A) dont have a history of delivering quality solutions to non-trivial problems

B) refuse to ask for help/feedback when you actually need it

typically, the rest of the team is working on other things. there would be little value in me pushing various crappy prototypes just for the sake of providing updates that only serve to distract people with information that will be out of date in 24hrs. "too many cooks in the kitchen" is a real thing, too.
What's new in Ruby 3.1? Needless, opaque syntax "features" that will just confuse new programmers even more.
All of this is valid. While writing that comment, I had in mind a particular blog, one that responsibly displays its ads. I do get wanting to get rid of ads on sites I don't care about.
Sr level, process, interviewing took one month, negotiations and stuff took another 2-3 weeks.
Sure, so you become infectious and quarantine for 10 days (at a time you can test and control), and then don't have to worry about it in the future. Removes a burden going forward.
Source on that last bit? How close to reality did that plan really get?
I ran the numbers and this checks out. That is 100% more problems. DOUBLE the problems.
There are layers to this.

1) "I'm going to protect myself with natural immunity" with no other context is a stupid statement for the reasons given in the comic. It does feel like people do make this proclamation, but it's likely that they're just leaving relevant context out, and that they're actually in one of the below categories.

2) "I'm not afraid of getting sick myself, so I'm willing to do so early and protect people later" makes a little bit of sense, except that in reality such people (my bias; I could be wrong) tend to infect themselves in an uncontrolled manner that fails to protect others anyway. (I would support a version of the Great Barrington Declaration that was fully controlled, where all infections were consensual. I actually had a run-in with Jeffrey Tucker about this at a libertarian event.)

3) "Tried as I did to avoid it, I got infected anyway. But at least I should be good to go at this point." This makes sense (pending scientific review). The cost to self and others is already paid.

4) "I would not be afraid of getting sick so long as I had an early treatment plan" also makes sense in principle. It's an alternative to vaccination. Also pending scientific review; I have no idea who's right here.
We can definitely consider that. But I feel its a lot of config and can be error prone. For instance, source-destination field mapping configs might be complex and have various issues like data type mismatches, typos in field names etc and a user interface is better suited to guide you through the entire process.

But I see value in exporting the config to a github repo after the pipeline is created and thereafter future edits can be done via the github repo. Does that make sense?
I see a few people wanting to rewrite tsc in something else than Typescript because tsc itself is too slow. I don't remember seeing any "proof" or analysis that Typescript is the limiting factor in tsc. The basis often used is the performance of esbuild compared to other bundlers. From the esbuild FAQ, "Why is esbuild fast?":

> Several reasons:

> It's written in Go and compiles to native code.

> Parallelism is used heavily.

> Everything in esbuild is written from scratch.

> Memory is used efficienty.

Using another language will solve 1 and will maybe solve 2. From this FAQ too:

> For example, many bundlers use the official TypeScript compiler as a parser. But it was built to serve the goals of the TypeScript compiler team and they do not have performance as a top priority. Their code makes pretty heavy use of megamorphic object shapes and unnecessary dynamic property accesses (both well-known JavaScript speed bumps).

tsc itself seems like it could be optimized. By how much, I have no idea. But it sounds like it would be easier than writing something from scratch. esbuild, while a great tool, is limited in scope. Typechecking Typescript on the other hand is a moving target, and a fast one at that. All in all, I'm not convinced by this approach compared to "regular performance work" on tsc itself. I think people talk about that because it's easier to start your project than to change tsc. In that case, the problem sound political rather than technical.

There's the x62 speed from the article, but there's no info on what features are supported. I feel like this is something where the devil is in the details.

I'm happy being proven wrong on that subject, I fear that we're going increase the number of tools in the frontend ecosystem for no good reasons, and make every a bit harder again.
If your only critique is that some of the signatures are fake, then you haven't exactly disproved the declaration as much as hurled insults at it. That's usually what people do when they don't have facts on their side.
Better is server bills that are 1/5 the cost, response times that are 3x faster and reduced complexity (no need for cache or background job servers). Don't get me wrong, I still really like and cut my teeth on Ruby, but there are better options for new projects now.
I think it is unfair to say close to zero,

just that it is far less than what most people expect of science
The ARM China venture has gone rogue anyway. It already has exclusive access to ARM IP within China.

As I understand history, Slater reconstructed technology of which he had gained a robust understanding. That's quite different from theft of an actual constructed artifact, or knowledge that you've licensed. And if he violated patents in the process, they were patents that had force of law only in the United Kingdom.

I think there is room for robust discussion and argument on how long, and for what, patents or other pure ip protection should be granted. I don't believe permanently hiding knowledge, or locking it for indefinite time in the vaults of a single rent-seeking entity is right. But enforcemenbt of time and circumstance limited exclusivity is arguably worth some cost to society, as a means of incenting people and companies to invest in commercializing their innovation. Violating the agreed rules around those things - whether those are contracts, patents, or other forms, is wrong. Specifically, it is theft.
True. Though I suspect the lack of garage would be more likely.

I more meant the sum of money in general, I said it based on a very real experience.
Hi everyone, Manish here (one of the founders of Castled). Thanks for pouring in so many ideas and suggestions in the comments. We have a Discord community, it would be nice if you join and help us build a great open source product – https://discord.gg/ERAjcSNerD
May I ask why you'd want to use a process manager inside a container? I just consider Docker my process manager. If my application crashed, Docker will deal with it.
The trick is to make the "right" decision yourself while helping people feel like they were heard and had a chance to give their input.

From my experience, people don't actually want to control the output of everything, they just want the opportunity to be heard. What you do with it from there doesn't matter as much, so long as the desired outcome is "correct". If the desired outcome is not correct however... then you have to justify all of the input that you didn't act on.
Custom ROMs are the Pareto principle in practice. Yes, you can relatively easily modify & build out 80% working functionality. As for the final 20%...
> You still need a design team to integrate ARM IP blocks with your own IP or within the constraints of a given manufacturing process but almost no one is making their own cores.

To emphasize this a little, I think the headcount needed for the this is quite a bit larger than the additional headcount need for making your own core.

There is a lot of working in making a high performance SoC using Cortex cores, and a lot of work in making a custom core, but I think some commenters here think that so many more custom cores are being made than in reality because they think that the rest is the easy part and the hard part is all cpu design, so if these fabless semiconductor companies are spending (overlapping) years per chip with thousands of employees it must be because everything is custom (regardless of what you can learn just looking up SoCs on wikipedia)
Perhaps one of the strongest arguments for owning Apple tech is that they support their devices for long after everyone else would stop doing so.

Android has classically been a dumpster fire compared to Apple on this front.
It also feeds into a narrative that everybody is doing fine, and the ones who aren't are just lazy and don't want to work.
> ....but why would you even try pure i.v. caffeine though? cocaine i can understand, but caffeine?

Sometimes when you're an IV drug user and you're out of real drugs, you do weird shit. I had a tub of anhydrous caffeine, had to try it.

I get that you think you can disprove things like this with science, and that's generally a good perspective to have. But cocaine and caffeine are nothing alike. It's the difference between a kiss on the cheek and a punch in the face. You could describe those two things in the same terms if you wanted to be abstract and clinical enough, but the idea that they are indistinguishable is laughable to anyone who has experienced both.

Caffeine is a moderate boost to wakefulness. You feel a little more energetic, a little more awake. Maybe a bit happier. Cocaine is every form of success you've ever felt multiplied by 100, rolled into one, and compressed into 3 seconds. You ever win a low probability bet, or be right about something when everyone you know doubted you? That's what cocaine feels like.

Shoot up caffeine and you might work a little harder for a couple of hours. Shoot up cocaine and you might marry a stripper you don't even know yet.

EDIT: What I will say is that, perhaps at a sufficiently low dose, they may be hard to distinguish. But at the doses consumed by recreational users, they very much are not. My guess is that these studies are using very low doses of cocaine compared to what a recreational user would take, for ethical/safety reasons. So, in that context, it may be true, but you should not take that to mean that cocaine and caffeine are in any meaningful sense indistinguishable.
Gosh, the section on "Mission failures caused by payload fairings" is understandable but not something I've ever heard of before. The launch crew error of failing to remove two lanyards.. ugh. To be "that guy" must've sucked.
