There's an evangelical Christian saying: "Jesus first, Others second, Yourself third" (it spells joy). Hard not to see this as a blatant ripoff.
Skeuomorphism is great if your audience understands the medium you are trying to replicate. I think that's why Apple had such great success with the first iPhone.

As we've become more digitally literate, not as many design cues are needed to convey the intended use. Compared to a plain rectangle, a button with lots of texture, borders, and shadows is going to take more time to develop and code. When time is money, it gets harder to justify if there isn't another reason for the more specialized design.

That said, I still have a soft spot for skeuomorphism as well. :)
Beyond Beef is the best that's widely available. I find it quite good, but I haven't eaten meat for 20 years so my taste could certainly be off. If you haven't tried it in a couple of years, maybe give it another shot, they've made some incremental improvements.

The advancement of vegetarian foods and meat-likes over the past 5 years have been incredible. At least in my area vegetarianism has become common enough that if I'm invited over to someone's BBQ they'll usually have a vegetarian option already on hand.
> Hardware intellectual property has an insane number of working parts and "factors" (electrical resistance, photo-lithography, metal layers, silicon is amazing) all have to be solved.

Again, fabless companies don't have to do any of this. You get a PDK from the factory which provides all these parameters and even standard cell libraries so you don't even have to do circuit design. You just feed your logic into "compilers". You need "physical" designers to optimize the output of those stages, but these are not people looking at the physics, they just optimize P&R and floor plan according to the PDK specs and tool output basically to close simulated timing.

In practice once you get to a large enough and high performance product, you would need custom circuit designers. And step up even larger again and you'll likely be working directly with the manufacturer on defining and tweaking the process. At Apple scale, you probably even define your own custom process node. Once you get to this scale though it's pretty much like big software houses writing their own libraries or OSes or compilers or asm code because the standard available stuff is not quite enough. That all takes a lot of engineers too.

But that's not _required_ and almost certainly PA Semi would not have had a whole lot of engineers on that work, it would have been logic, analog, PD, V&V, power, primarily. And almost all would just work on the standard package they get from their fab. So mostly writing "software". And you don't need any money for a develop,release,iterate cycle on most of the hardware stack because it can be and is simulated.
> publishers today care mostly about sabotaging second hand market by constantly changing exercises and order of subject from one edition to another

Yeah I know what you mean! Eight edition is the same as seventh, but with random permutation of problem sets, just enough so you can't use for class assignment. I once had a teacher who would give us the inverse permutation to make it easy for students to use the older edition, but he was the exception...

Why do you want to learn calculus? If it's for review/fun, I'd like to recomment the MECH+CALC book that I wrote. It's not free, but very cheap. See preview here https://minireference.com/static/excerpts/noBSmathphys_v5_pr... Currently v5.4. I've been treating the problem sets as an append-only list so numbers are "backward compatible" with older versions.
Yeah, why get in on the next insta before its big...
I'm not sure that this specifically would risk breaching any antitrust regulations. There is still plenty of competition in their respective sectors, Akamai and Linode are more or less complimenting one another's services with minimal overlap, there's nothing to suggest that this will result in any meaningful impact to the ability for open market influences to determine their pricing, it doesn't appear to generate any conflicting interests or provide either company with an unfair advantage over their competitors, and it doesn't grant Akamai any outsized leverage in any of its areas of interest.

I'm personally of the opinion that a greater diversity of many smaller companies is almost always preferable to homogeneity and the anticompetitive inclinations that come with the vertically integrated corporations that currently plague a good bit of the tech sector, but Akamai + Linode doesn't strike me as the same kind of threat as the larger players.

That said, I am a longtime happy Linode customer, and the prospect of anything coming along to dilute their current offerings and practices is concerning. But they've earned the benefit of the doubt, so until I have some specific reason to do otherwise I'll be sticking with them.
Team Objectives – Overview
> I probably wouldn't mind it if were the lingua franca in computing.

And in programming, I don’t! It’s more like a weird pidgin lignua celto-germano-franca with funky morphology, but I love it nevertheless. I’ve read the Unicode identifiers spec, and frankly, however much I like my Agda with that special Unicode maths sauce, I’m not sure I’d be better off with that in my compiler.

A old and grizzled plant worker who needs a new computer-operated lathe, though, will rightfully tell me to take a hike if I try to sell him a machine that only speaks and accepts a foreign language, and his boss will support him. (It depends on the country: a French person will look down on you if you don’t try to speak their native language to them, and a Norse one will think you’re looking down on them if you do.) I might be able to hold out for a couple of decades, but ultimately, my computer will speak the lingua franca to computing professionals and the native language to users, or somebody else will build one that does.

This means user-facing, user-specified identifiers such as file names will need to support at least these two languages—and given a requirement for exchanging data in a global network, essentially every other one as well. You might try to tell users they’re supposed to use some other kind of identifier, but given these are still going to need to be human-readable, integrity-critial, equality-supporting, globally-exchangeable identifiers, I don’t see how that does anything except rename the problem.

I’ve traveled pretty extensively with firearms, and it’s almost never an issue. It varies depending on the airport, but I’ve found that it actually makes things quite a bit faster at smaller airports, airports in “red” states, and airports that are typically hunting destinations.”

In fact, I’d say it usually _speeds_ check-in, at least compared to having to check a bag at the counter anyhow.

"named it after American creationist Duane Gish and argued that Gish used the technique frequently when challenging the scientific fact of evolution."

Interesting that there seems to be a lot of overlap between creationists and antivaxers. Creationists seem to buy into a sort of conspiratorial view of science where they claim that their "creation scientists" are purposely ignored by mainstream science which is in the grip of some kind of delusion so that they can't comprehend that creationism is the way or are in fact actively trying to subvert the idea that creationism is actually true. Extrapolate to vaccines and they easily believe that there's some kind of alternative science that hasn't been corrupted, but isn't widely known. Similar overlaps for denying climate change.
But it's not a political party, and that's the entirety of the problem.
Mexico has serious crime issues and murder issues. But this is mostly confined to specific areas and specific cities along drug running corridors.

It is a bit like someone looking at Chicago and saying it's a war zone. They would be correct, in the worst parts of town. The average HN poster is unlikely to ever set foot in those areas, so their experience will be vastly different.
Remember that the users still using Firefox are mostly technical and privacy fans that do care about security a lot.

Focusing on the mainstream user at this point will not help as they're already so far gone they don't even remember the name Firefox anymore.

They should focus first on making it and excellent browser for the users that still care. Then word of mouth will bring it back to the mainstream as it did the first time.
I know nothing about this specific instance beyond that article, but there are tons of situations where law enforcement seizes property without a crime being committed.

Well I can see you're not interested in things like facts, evidence, science or reality. Never mind then.
Also, relating to difficult it's interesting that the original game that SMB2 in the U.S. was based on didn't have the B-run ability, and that change made the game substantially easier. Though in that case they may have decided they had to add it in order to be consistent to SMB1, and the decrease in difficulty was just an unintended side-effect. (Also, not having a save feature made the U.S. version a lot harder, so maybe that balances out with adding the run ability.)

If I put each select statement in its own Airflow task, I get the same lineage dbt gives me, except I can see it and administer to it alongside all my other E and L-type tasks.

Also, I can write my T in plain ol’ SQL (granted, with some jinja) instead of this dbt-QL that I can’t copy and paste into my database console or share with a non-dbt user.

So, folks who have adopted dbt: what am I missing by being a fuddy-duddy?
Thanks! Yeah I wanted to really give the feeling of "exploring", while building it I had the concept of walking around a city and bumping into people in various locations in my head.
So a good reason to do YC? I am confused... Plenty of YC companies fail but part of being in YC is the network so you can start another company, work at another YC or work for YC. That basically de-risks startups immeasurably.
We actually had a thread about road salt pretty recently (6mo?). The prevailing opinion was that the new brine stuff can do no wrong.

People don’t care, because people don’t know. RowHammer-vulnerable RAM is like canned food with botulinum and gasoline with lead. In 100 years, we’ll all be flabbergasted that everyone in the industry wasn’t arrested for letting it happen.
> Something broken with AWS in general: usually not timely responses but path here is to use PHD (personal health dashboard).

Ah, I think this is the type of issue i've heard of where you hit a wall on AWS.

In my experience with Linode when there has been infra issues they are very open if pushed, which is useful because sometimes there are ways you can mitigate it if you understand what's going on... they will also pre-emptively open a ticket with your account in case you want to discuss it, most of the time these resolve themselves, but you can dig if you have concerns. e.g one time we had a few VPSs go through a vague "physical host failure" migration unusually close in time, so I asked if there was anything going on with hypervisor bugs (turns out there was a regression) and whether we could pre-emptively migrate stuff to patched hosts on our own terms rather than wait for it to be randomly picked - and they just opened up, explained what was going on and helped us schedule our other VPSs.

> Stuff outside the control plane (e.g. how do I install nginx on this?): - no idea, never asked those questions

Me neither, it's usually Linode specific support I use, they also have extended paid support for that type of stuff and I've never used it but it's there for people who need it.
I thought this was about that app that lets you help blind people by using their camera and you tell them what you see. This is way more sinister.

In many ways I think that supports my comment. People use Google search because it's the default and a monopoly, and it has a total monopoly on search ads as a result. But that is not a choice that consumers consciously make to go and use it. It's pre-installed as the only easily accessible default on their phones and computers, and no one ever thinks about what search engine they use or has chosen to use it. If you buy an Apple or Android phone, your search engine is Google, and you just assume it is the only search engine. It's great that it gets good results for your ad spend for you. That's why Google continues to set new records for revenue. Advertisers like you are their true customers. And the people searching are the product being sold.
This is nuts. Has there been any peer review of this? Any other sources? I feel like this should be huge

I'm guessing "no".
"cute" titles should be reserved for tabloids. Say the real thing as best you can in the title, especially when human (or any creature) suffering is involved.
Frankly, I'm not surprised there was no backup plan in case the company went out of business. The quote from the engineer is telling, “We didn’t sell any more, we didn’t make any more, we didn’t have anything to do with it anymore.”

Like a company discontinuing a model of Bluetooth speaker or size of tire, as if the implant isn't a permanent part of their patient's bodies. Just leaving a small division that supported existing users, even with just spare parts, would not have been cost prohibitive.

It sounds like the suits demanded profitability and literally left them customers in the dark. I wonder if in the coming years and more and more biotech implant companies come to market some will be required for long term support. Maybe their relevant IP becomes public domain if the device is not "supported"?

Wow, the response from the Google engineer really highlights that they're blind to the problem.

It's only a matter of time before a new Search engine comes along and takes over the lead.

I resort to Bing and Yandex more than Google these days due to all the reasons mentioned in the article. It's not just search though, Im consistently finding Bing Maps has newer satellite images and streets that Google doesnt know about ( thanks to OSM )
Composition is important. Most of Earths metal is in the core and completely inaccessible. However there appear to be some asteroids that are largely composed of metal and are completely exposed.

We mine about 3 billion tonnes of iron a year. A single iron rich asteroid could plausibly have hundreds or even thousands of times as much iron.

They were not saying "nobody uses Google search" but rather that people were not consciously choosing to use it over other services, but using it because it is the default on virtually every device and browser, despite the fact that the majority of the results were ads. The fact that people are clicking on your ads doesn't exactly disprove that hypothesis.

No the corporation was founded because having a major corporation like Google pay so much to a foundation was difficult for tax reasons.

But it did push them over the edge IMO. They're behaving like a corporation now, with a CEO pulling as much money as they can, too much PR etc. Through the Google deal they have become what they were fighting. But they're not very good at it, hence the low marketshare.
It's interesting that on the Technology subreddit, the majority opinion seems to be that Google Search works well.

I'm not sure how anyone can come to that conclusion unless they were very new to it - people must b looking for something that's very different than what I look for.

HN is no different than anywhere else. Majority of replies are hot headed, critical, cynical, and negative. You can have the most inspiring news, a huge innovation, big leaps in tech, great new products, and 95%+ of the comments are just sad to read, which leads me to believe that it's just human nature.

And no, critical thinking doesn't mean shitting all over everything you come in contact with, which is what most of us have apparently learnt from poorly taught college classes.

The minority of us "mutants" who get excited about things, should learn and continue to spread the positivity and hopefully move the dial towards the middle a bit.

And ye, this post is negative — I'm not a cartoon character in ecstasy state all the time.

Didn't at one point Marissa Meyer read to the whole company a children's book, out loud? That was the best moment to quit imaginable, right in that meeting, just by interrupting "I quit!".

Might as well hear a pilot tell you the itinerary for the flight you're on was changed to the side of the tallest mountain in the range the plane had fuel for--and there was no need for the parachutes tucked behind the bathroom in the very back. You could call it "the Kool-Aid moment."

It's a beautiful gift.

Almost everyone in business has an MBA so that qualification is pretty easy to get.

In many respects they are right. Frequently there _are_ greater fools. Eventually someone is left holding the can. The Art world works because there are a few extremely wealthy people who are content to be the 'fool' at the end of the chain. In those cases sentimental attachment or simply being a patron of the arts is enough for them. If everyone expects to make a gain, it's a house of cards.

Cryptocurrencies are a bit different. While there is the same line-goes-up, line-goes-down hunt for greater fools going on, beneath that are people gauging the actual worth. Bitcoin and ETH are vastly overvalued base upon current utility, but if they came to replace money/gold/other they could be worth many times their current value. Investors buying and selling on that basis are not looking for greater fools but are attempting to be more right about the future than average.
I agree. Hanlon’s razor doesn’t apply when you “incompetently” take hundreds of millions of dollars and don’t give them back.
None of the mainstream DDR DRAM protocols support variable latency, so you effectively have that 100% SLA guarantee. I should qualify that may not be true for some of IBM's mainframe systems. IBM has created DIMMs that communicate with high speed serial protocols (using SERDES) between the memory controller and a buffer chip on the DIMMs, mostly to make it easier to scale the amount of memory in these system up beyond what would be possible when using a pad limited protocol like DDR.

Now that memory controllers are on the CPU (well, the I/O die for AMD), there's actually a whole lot more slack for the timing needed to do ECC. While the I/O transistors use big, slow transistors for driving the off die signals, the logic is all implemented using the same 3-5+GHz transistors used. This is in constrast to the transistors used in DRAM that are tuned to minimize leakage and are a heck of a lot slower. Putting complicated logic on the DRAM die is a fundamental mismatch with that goal, which encourages DRAM vendors to put the minimum possible logic on their dies. ECC gets better with more logic, and worse with less. Do you really want your DRAM vendor deciding how much ECC is Good Enough for you? I don't.
