What does that have to do with being "closer to the metal"?

Secondly, Java can be tuned, but its default mode of operation is to take up the most amount of memory it can in order to give you higher performance (thoughput and latency). `-Xmx` is a thing.

Finally, now with GraalVM going mainstream, and frameworks like Quarkus[1] and Micronaut[2], you are able to compile Java programs to native binaries and also have lower memory usage if that's truly a restriction.

Unrelated to their inflight entertainment, United pulled this stunt on me the other day.

- Flight at 11AM, boarding at 10:20.

- Show up at 10:25, boarding doors are closed.

- "Didn't boarding start 5 minutes ago"

- "Yeah we close the doors once 95% of people show up, sorry, you should show up when boarding starts"

- "Yeah but didn't boarding start 5 minutes ago, how was I to know"

- "You should have known, sorry"

I wouldn't be so sure.

Meta forced Oculus users to transition to a Facebook login after they had already bought the device.

They are a surveillance company who collects, correlates and sells personal information. They aren't going to stop at the VR boundary and suddenly change their mission.
Because there's no indication that we have access to resources to allow the billions of people on the planet to live the life of an (inflation-adjusted) trillionaire. Our exponential-growth model of resource availability and the economy as a whole is limited by basic physics to be a brief window, followed by an unknown duration of quartic growth (at best), finally approaching an asymptote of quadratically-increasing access to resources.
Yes, gold is another awful deflationary currency that drives people to poverty. The vast majority of people were poor on the gold standard. (Consider also, how much https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_of_Gold_speech spoke to the people).

In any case, crypto isnt a currency. Comparing it to any currency presumes vastly too much, let alone "fiat" which has enabled the fastest increase in general wealth in human history.

Crypto is a extremely slow, extremely operationally expensive, nightmarish system of baseball card printing. Designed explicitly to progressively, over time, dramatically increase the power and wealth of the early-stakers. Its value only exists whilst people continue to buy it.

Whether deflationary currency is a good idea or not (it isnt: it's horrific); whether digital currency is a good idea or not (it might be); crypto isn't (really, sorry: its scam -- pushed knowingly by scammers, and unknowingly by those holding very very very expensive tulip bulbs, who "just cant see" why everyone doesnt want tulips).

The game crypto people play is this: talk about the tech with finance guys to bamboozle; talk about the finance with the tech guys, to bamboozle. Talk about fiat/politics/gov with everyone because "presumably there's something wrong with the economy right guys!!11! financial crash, etc etc.".

Despite, of course, the last half-century being the most wealth-productive for everyone in human history.

This is a confidence trick. Crypto has nothing to do with why blockchains are useful (mostly, they arent). Nothing to do with non-fiat currency (an inflationary one might be useful). Nothing to do with politics (a system which increases the power of a few early adopters is NOT! better than democratic politics).

Crypto is a scam. Blockchain, non-fiat, digital, anti-gov blah blah is the mask the scam wears. If you want a digital non-fiat anti-gov currency, go ahead and make one. Crypto *is not that*.
Yes, I left Postman immediately after rework because I couldn't understand how the hell to use it anymore.

Same with Docker Desktop. I tried to use it for personal use a few weeks ago and couldn't figure out how to docker build a container anymore on WSL, then tried on native Windows and it was jabbering on about HyperV prereq and I just uninstalled it and went back to WSL for traditional package management.

I think Docker shot themselves in the foot.
Also, I generally try to limit third party stuff because it's just super annoying. Never mind that I use uMatrix and having to enable 20 different hosts makes me cranky.

About the only third party thing we have is an invoicing app I installed temporarily.

> That economic opportunity is what everyone wants back.

Given the frequency of folks literally marching around with Confederate and Nazi flags, you've overstated your case here. Perhaps that's what you want, but there's a significant movement in support of a white ethnostate. That movement has representation in the Republican party, and for example Tucker Carlson is wont to voice its talking points and his show is one of the most watched on cable TV.

Pretending that racism was just a blip in the past and not a present and ongoing problem, or ignoring it because it didn't impact your parents, is at best naive. The Emmet Till case was a stark reminder to Black Americans that their lives were worthless in the eyes of the law and the white citizens who had the power to change it. To call that event terrorizing is not remotely a stretch.

I think if the lesson you're taking from the whole imposter syndrome thing is "you don't need to improve", then you're not really learning the right lesson at all. Imposter syndrome is real, but it doesn't at all mean it's okay to be complacent, and it certainly isn't meant to encourage more Dunning-Krugerism.
Rob Pike actually defined it exactly this way when it was introduced -- a simpler systems language, in contrast to Java.

From memory, "Hey Google, call 867-5309" worked fine for me.

What are your back-of-the-envelope numbers? Or are you just shrugging and assuming that performance has zero impact on the development loop, so therefore no development effort should be expended on it?
Wow, just last weekend I finally put my pet projects behind Cloudflare (they are hosted at my house). Really the only thing nagging me now is that the port is still technically open, and will respond to anyone who uses it. Yes, the IP is now hidden thanks to Cloudflare, but security through obscurity and all that.

I was going to try to whitelist Cloudflare IPs, but that seems like a rather large list that can change at any time. This tunnel thing seems perfect. Is it as simple as running some daemon on my home network and then closing the ports?
Absolutely. I think that proposition was incredibly clear back when they used to offer Oculus for Business, which was like $800-900? Now they don't even offer that.
Is it though? When I run the hello world for whatever GAN or pytorch, what exactly am I going to do if I get an unexpected error message? Or if the results are off? Would I even know the results are off? I don't even know if pytorch is used for GAN.
Regarding PR, it adds ammo to their oft repeated claim of "best mobile OS" (Not that I fully agree)

Size and RAM (and indirectly a modest battery life gain) will be a win for whoever uses, regardless of our personal views on this matter. When developers throw in big frameworks mindlessly, they assume best case use. Minimalist and efficient coding will actually win across the board whichever way you look.

As far as Apple devices go, they are getting support way longer than Android flagships. Apple is devious possibly in many ways, but they don't get to win by 'planned obsolescence'. Much rather the opposite: as new generations of devices come in with newer hardware, they don't have to crazily support a lot of firmware and instruction sets. Only the ones which satisfies the newer frameworks. If they did, they will turn out as another Intel (which famously supported a lot of opcodes all the way back to 386). Their fanbase has some (valid) strength based on a lot of older generation devices

It’s not as bad as your tv or your phone but it normalizes the practice. It also opens your local network to all kinds of vulnerabilities because of the world class level of quality and safety whatever smartness in the dishwasher was programmed with. And if it’s a smart anything, it probably comes with the app to make it work, which opens the gateway to our phone and its treasure trove of data.

So yeah I agree with your friends that data mining your dishwasher in itself is rather innocuous, but why allow it to happen altogether and open yourself to all the above?
Thanks for signing up for our newsletter. RE the text input issue: I've thought about this a lot. Options:

1. BCI. This is the holy grail. Ideally, something which could absorb 20,000 inputs (or approximately the number of words in the English language) with extremely high accuracy.

2. Voice control. Some hackers have gotten voice programming to work with sophisticated setups. Not ideal when you need to be quiet.

3. Twiddler (& twiddler-like solutions). These are cool, but the problem with them is that seem to cap out at ~60wpm (also take a while to learn how to use).

4. Attaching a keyboard to yourself. This is the most short-term viable option, but yeah isn't long-term ideal. (In particular since it limits us to ~100wpm, which isn't very good). It also requires you to be touch-type proficient, which not everyone is.
How does it bother you less, assuming that 3-letter agencies can access parts of CPUs that you can't?

If anything, it bothers me more! Why would they get special treatment, and why would I have to subsidize its features paying for my CPU to have it, but disabled?
If you've raised VC and are not bleeding money you've either done something really, really wrong or something really, really right. You're supposed to be bleeding money. That's the whole reason you gave up a chunk of your company. The only reason not to be bleeding money is because you locked into such a strong growth loop halfway into spending that VC money that you literally can't buy inputs fast enough. You're pulling 100% of the world's XY or Z.
> Some of these are clear improvements - but many of them are simplifications that lose depth and nuance.

Some of these make writing better. Many of them just leave words out and don't say as much.

> The world is filled with detail, tailoring text to meet the needs of people unable to grasp that detail does not remove it - It obfuscates it.

There is a lot of stuff around us. Using words meant only for people who do not like a lot of stuff does not make the stuff go away. It just hides the stuff.

> Sometimes simple and direct language is good. Sometimes it makes the entire conversation devoid of usefulness or meaning.

Using simple words can be good. Sometimes it is not good enough.

> Work to understand which context is appropriate for what you write.

Use words understood by the people you are writing for.
Curious if anyone has technical details on this or similar attacks?
I would like to thank stockholders for subsidizing our VCs!
I can't. My family mostly consumes all my free time. I'm also not able to relocate since my wife doesn't want to. $200k would be highly unlikely in my area.

PS I hate how people say 'easily' for salaries that are basically double the median for devs. If it was easy, everyone would have it.

Phones with the Snapdragon 8 Gen 1 with the referenced 35% yield are launching this month (Samsung S22 is being delivered to preorders this week), so SS must have churned out quite a few wasted chips to meet the launch.
Yeah they have a tethered version too, 2x cost. I'm saying if people think the Index is expensive for what it is/was, this thing is way up there. But hey not everyone drives Lamborghinis but that's still a market.

Anyway I preordered one (half up front), I'm down, will practice on my Index in the mean time. I am curious about their choice of Godot in case I ever get to the level to mess with rendering. Would be nice to have curved panels, maybe that snap together vs. floating square ones. Excuse to learn a new language I guess.
Right but those tools are VM-specific (e.g. the one you've posted is Hotspot-specific) and VM-specific optimizations are usually considered advanced optimizations in Java.

Valhalla's value types aren't the same thing as pointer access (or lack thererof). The first thing is that this is baked into the definition site rather than being something that can be decided at a call site. The second thing is that value types entail way more than just pointer access (as befits a higher-level approach). In particular it gets rid of the built-in ability of Java objects to act as locks, gets rid of mutation, etc. It's a much larger change than just referencing and dereferencing.

More to the point, the notion of pointers referencing and dereferencing is a lower level concept than reference vs value types. The former is usually used to implement the latter.
This looks amazing. Love the strong Snowflake integration -- very forward looking. I just passed this onto our Data Science team.
I'm not a network administrator. I have training in that space. If it were really that easy to find a job paying that, then I would go do it.

Unless you can elaborate more, this is pretty meaningless. I could make the same statement about Rust or literally any language and it would be just as substantial.
We must seize the initiative for elaborating on the insufficiency of the science of mnemonics! It is only in the vein of such species of silliness that we can discover how truly weird and foreign our feisty English orthography is for linguists, so that that they can weigh in with their true skills!
Too bad Java doesn't have an option to disable all runtime type reflection, etc... it would be very similar to Go, I bet. Especially if AOT compiling was used.
If HR passed on them because 'porn' they either abused their position or gave a clear signal about company culture. They need to find someone that fits. In terms of skills and team fit/professionalism.

Either the company values prude/neoconservative value signaling (the at least I wouldn't want to work there and they should openly tell people what ideology is expected) or the HR person abused their position and did not do their job in finding someone that fits the skill set and role.

Either way is hypocritical in my book.
HN is not the kernel mailing list, and the range of topics discussed on here are significantly wider than that of the mailing list. If we restricted ourselves to the same rules, there's not many posts on the front page that would be allowed.

Sometimes we have no choice as to whether or not we can use the work of someone who has done bad things - Einstein was quite awful to his wife, for example, but it's not practical to ditch relativity just because he sucked on a personal level. But there's plenty of replacement filesystems - should there be no discussion as to whether or not we should weigh the moral issues alongside the technical ones?
it seems these 'perfect' walls are really double walls, with an exterior wall and interior wall separated by a "control layer" that blocks air and moisture/vapor penetration, and reduces heat transfer.

the exterior wall features brick/stone cladding as a primary rain/UV barrier and thermal buffer, and a channel to wick away air, heat, and moisture on its interior, before hitting the "control layer".

the interior wall can be concrete block, steel frame, or wood frame, with only the latter insulated, and with a semi-permeable interior skin (gypsum board + latex paint).

both walls are designed to wick moisture away from the control layer to reduce mold and other problems.

the big downside to these perfect walls are that they're actually two walls, and as such, (roughly) twice the cost of regular stick-built walls, and they're twice as thick, which, given a fixed lot size, reduces interior square footage.
