I mean "regional" as in like Crimea, where the West talks up a bunch and imposes some sanctions that Russia shrugs off, but otherwise nothing comes of it.

The point is that in Putin's eyes, Ukraine should have put up a token defence at best before succumbing to the will of the people to rejoin Russia. It was most definitely NOT supposed to turn into this shitshow that forces countries and multinationals alike to choose sides.

And now America is going to milk it (much to Poland's consternation) by allowing this assault to continue, knowing full well that Putin is trapped and can't retreat lest he lose his head over it. So Russia will bleed herself dry over the next 1-2 months in an impossible war as he grasps at straw after straw until someone puts him out of his misery. Russia will be neutralized for decades to come (possibly forever), the cold warriors will rejoice, and Eastern Europe will join a West-centric alliance that can help defend against China's aimed rise to supremacy.

At least that's the plan. But China is no slouch when it comes to geopolitics and intrigue. Belt and road took a hit, but it's far from out.
It reminds me running the code in video address space on Atari.
Yes, that is completely normal. SAAS service disruptions happen all the time.
there's a thread on slashdot IIRC where a guy explains that a good old cray, due to its massive cache and bandwidth, can crunch number matrices at massive "speed". I forgot the details but basically each cycle the processor could recompute a whole 1MB or 8MB matrix, and steadily so. Whereas a pentium4/core cpu, clocked way higher and more "modern" can only process that amount of data for a small time before all caches are filled and performance plummets.

This is one of those "it depends" things. As usual, it's good to build an intuition for what you expect. But it is also worthwhile benchmarking it now and again.

At a previous job, we were pushing against going to "networked temp disk" instead of "local temp disk", on the assumption that local storage would be faster than remote storage. But, actual benchmarking showed that the "networked temp disk" was about two to three times faster. Mostly because almost all IOPS on each machine went to servicing network disk requests, so trying to squeeze in on one machine's IOPS caused IO stall times that trying to squeeze into N machines' IO queue didn't see.

It's also a "are you mostly doing read consecutive blocks" or "are you doing essentially random, scattered reads" (for read workloads, write workloads are a bit different, as it is approaching hard top speculatively write data that has not yet passed through a write(2) call).
Not OP but have worked in law offices before. Looking back, I seen to remember that our lawyers all had assistants who would do things for them. Research ABC, collate data, file paperwork, etc. Lower attorneys would have a shared assistant, higher ups had dedicated. I know many attorneys do all their own stuff as well, but having that set up seemed to let the people focus when they needed to, knowing other BS would be taken care of competently and on time.

I see very few devs (like, none) who get that sort of support system. At best, arguably, a good PM might help, but they also bring a l other layer with often extra steps to desk with.
Treasury Secretary Yellen accidentally leaks details of Biden’s crypto policy
Agreed regarding culture. This should always be the goal. Unfortunately it is rarely the end result as humans aren't perfect, so some pieces still need tending to.

It's not that 1-1s are a panacea. They are more a mitigation strategy to catch human issues early and address them before they surface and roll into a bigger problem.
> also to note that it is companies that act illegally in preventing fair use of copyrighted content.

No, they're not. Law on copyright does vary from country to country significantly, and you're citing "fair use" (a US legal concept that doesn't exist in Europe) about a European case, but generally speaking copyright exemptions are exemptions that are defences to stop other people suing you. They are not "rights", and there is no requirement for any other party to technically or practically enable them. I can keep my copyrighted work in a room you're not allowed to take a camera in, and that's perfectly legitimate. Likewise, companies can apply any digital locks they like.

(Note in some cases there are small, specific allowances on circumvention provisions for exercising of copyright exemptions such as the US Library of Congress list, but they are generally very small, very specific, and again do not require the copyright holder to enable it, just reduce their legal back up.)

No court would ever rule the way you want it to, because fundamentally you misunderstand the basic legal concepts.

my son, 11, has autism, and we have many fantastic conversations, he likes to ponder all kinds of things, especially hypothetical semi impossible things. He eats up Kurzgesagt, https://www.youtube.com/c/inanutshell ( highly recommended ). He is very confused by social situations and spends a lot of time trying to work them out. He likes rules, and desperately wants to know the rules of social interactions with other kids. Today on our walk he was pondering what our experience would be like if we had eagle eyes and bats sonar navigation and whether can genetically modify ourselves to do so.
>News items don’t have to be more meaningful than “x happened”.

Yes, they do. Any news story that would be covered by the mainstream media needs to present evidence of a new or interesting phenomenon that satisfies intellectual curiosity. Do most stories about Ukraine, Russia, China or the war satisfy intellectual curiosity, or emotional needs? Do they generate intellectually stimulating conversation, or just act as a medium for the same tedious political tribalism that most political subjects tend to generate?

The bar has to be higher than "x happened" or else we'll get flooded with pedestrian nonsense, which we are every time a major mainstream topic takes over and the existing moderation safeguards fail.

Tell HN: Apple prioritising direct sales, resellers months behind
As per https://www.reddit.com/r/macbookpro/comments/r8wnnz/preorder_and_shipping_megathread_macbook_pro_late/

Seems any order outside the standard 14"/16" 16GB RAM is delayed for resellers - some dating back to November! Direct orders from apple.com seem to have gone uninterrupted.

Is apple sacrificing the resellers to maintain its M1Max/RAM stock for Mac Studio/new products?
> Oh, yes - which is why I emphasized "is". But ASCII text is easy to test for, which lets you fast-track into exception handling - "Tell Sales that Customer data is not as represented", "Trouble-shoot internal data source", etc.

Oh with that I mean the ASCII control characters appearing in inputs. So some columns would have record end markers in for example.

If I'm able to make everyone dealing with the reading and writing add specific characters to be used for start/end/etc I'd rather just tell them to swap to a parquet reader unless they've got a really good reason.
To bring perspective, Bosch Germany recently donated a million euros (1.1 mil USD) to the red cross and opened its surrounding-country offices as refugee shelters (Stefan Hartung interview).

With the quality of elementary OS, I thought it required several full time developers to keep up but not knowing how it could make enough money, I even thought it's some rich guy's toy project spending out of pocket money or something but surprised it's run by a few guys with very small revenue and the company's worth seems somehow very small with the talent they got.

Could be a bargain for someone to just hire those guys but of course it means the end of elementary OS but the developers deserve better environment.

Thank you for explaining this. It’s rare to see someone acknowledge the quality of a direct competitor.

Seems to me that the biggest risk to Wise and Atlantic is growing so large that the incumbents will change their pricing.
>We come into this world owing a debt to our parents and family who help care for us that we can never repay

Are you sure this belief is not the long-term effects of a kind of Stockholm syndrome? Namely, a irrational reaction to those years when you were utterly dependent on your parents?
We get what we pay for. Nobody pays for high quality OSS but advertisers pay very well for surveillance driven adware.

It’s tough for startups too but for different reasons. Startups doing interesting work can recruit top talent but they usually have to offer a good equity package too. Equity is tough since the supply is so limited in a growth company.

If your startup is doing something that is boring as hell or worse adtech, the only option is to have a high margin business or a lot of VC to try to compete with the FAANGs on raw salary.
meta comment: I find it's almost always worth checking the arch linux wiki for any software you're using (either as a guide or if you're having issues).

It's one of the best resources out there, though obviously if you're not running arch you'll need to tweak things from the suggestions.
> If my program writes to the standard output, but you choose to redirect the pipe to a different location, is it my program’s responsibility to check what happens to the bytes AFTER the pipe?

The pipe is your standard output. Your very program is created with the pipe as its stdout.

> After all: my program did output everything as expected. The part which fucked up was not part of my program.

But you are wrong, your program did not output everything as expected, and it failed to report that information.
Heard one of the Warby Parker founders speak once, and he mentioned a similar process at their company. I believe once a week all employees anonymously rated their satisfaction 1-10. He was very bought into the thought that "happy employees = productive employees". He said the weekly ratings was a very powerful tool for the executive team to get a feel for how the team was feeling, and if they could push harder or needed to ease up. Compared with the alternative of waiting to see resignation numbers go up, seemed like a pretty brilliant idea to me.

This was many years ago so apologies if some details are a bit off, but the gist of the story has stuck with me over the years.
Thanks for sharing your story and for the thoughtful feedback BukhariH! We thought a lot about the current players and offerings in the space, and came to similar conclusions about some of the pitfalls.

That being said, we have made two observations that we are looking to explore by launching Atlantic Money:

1. By deliberately going the super-app route, and trying to be something for everyone, super apps are crappy user experiences, and they aren't a very strong business (outside of south-east Asia).

We are looking to be a focused product, and are committing to not building a bunch of additional features into our app over time that customers probably don't want and are likely going to make the experience adversarial.

2. Super apps are not targeted.

We believe that costs can pile up if you don't have a target customer. Our thesis is that we want to be a very good option for customers moving larger sums of money, and we've explicitly focused on that segment in terms of corridors, and our fixed pricing.

We'll see how it goes with the launch, but would welcome any feedback - either here, or feel free to reach out directly.
Well, I wouldn't use such a clone. When Slack is down, I actually feel relieved. I know I can turn off Slack any time I want, but the reality is that companies expect one to be online all the time (except during breaks of course) in regular working hours. I try to keep Slack as an async communication tool, but stakeholders just don't care about that. Also, I have a bunch of channels I cannot mute, so there is always something going on on such channels (which brings anxiety and discomfort).

So, when Slack is down, it's actually a nice "everybody is offline: either take some time off or work focused on whatever you need to work on"... which is a nice thing to experience from time to time during regular business hours.
Yeah it's awesome, if only nomachine(https://www.nomachine.com/, MS Remote Desktop alternative) would add support for it, that or I missed something to get it to work.
I'm glad someone mentioned this. It's an excellent narration of an excellent book.

I've been reading it to my son. It's got so many lessons on leadership, grit, foresight, courage etc. Very inspiring.

One thing that struck me was how sharp a judge of character Shackleton was. He picked the members of his crew after short or no interviews and was vindicated in his all his selections. That must have been a skill learned from time in the real world. Something which might be scorned on today for being biased or something else like that.

> Modern languages do catch more programmer errors than C/C++, but the more general point is that there are "edge cases" (redirecting to a file isn't an edge case) that developers need to consider that aren't magically caught, and understanding the language you use well enough so as not to write those bugs is important.

But GP’s point is that modern languages can surface those issues and edge cases, and try to behave somewhat sensibly, but even sometimes “magically” report the edge cases in question.

That’s one of the things which is very enjoyable (though sometimes frustrating) in Rust, the APIs were (mostly) designed such that you must acknowledge all possible errors somehow, either handling it or explicitly suppressing it.
It barely hits a 3060Ti performance wise. That's a $400 GPU.

Also, while the 3090 is $3000 because of shitcoin miners and scalpers profiting of the demand, the MSRP is half that (and you can still get it at this price provided a bit of patience, which, admittedly, sucks to have to do).
Not in India, that's the point:

And that's at market exchange rates. Adjusted for purchasing power or wages it would be even more expensive, I assume.
> Seems strange that this requires java. Feels like they could get better performance from a compiled language and it would run on lower profile computers.

I feel like the meme that Java is slow and bloated needs to die. Java can be very fast, and also runs on fricking SIM cards that have extremely limited processor and memory.

"I do think that the takeaway from your comment is that we could build out a part of our page that allows a customer to dig deeper to validate this themselves."

(But I have not checked this personally).

"We always convert your money at the live rate: the rate on Google."

Trust is important and the right wording does matter a lot.

So if people read this on your website and then check for themself on google and see it is wrong - well sure, expect people to not trust your service.

My first question (with only reading your text here) would be: why and how are you cheaper than the competition?

Right now my takeaway would be: because there are possible dark patterns and hidden fees like suboptimal conversion rates included.
I'll just have to do a counterrant in the hopes it can be useful, it's one word: ayurveda.

Seek it if you feel like, but basically I predicate it on the thought modern pharma is very much trying to hit above its weight class and mental health medicine is clueless, and illiterate about the body, and AHDH is in ancient terms deeply related to vata issues, the which chronic fatigue only confirms as the real cause. Modern world is a hot vayu airy mess but I'll vent no further.
If they got decently paid, by allowing proprietary apps, one of the competing apps could stick around by virtue of actually making money.

The ElementaryOS company would also get more cash, and could, (like Apple!) improve a core set of apps.

A "kernel" of good quality Linux apps could also spread to other distributions, and hopefully slowly coalesce around GTK and "ElementaryOS" style GUI as a de-facto standard. (Since the other distros are more accepting of jumbled GUI styles anyway, why not make your app on ElementaryOS first, and distribute that version on the other Linux versions, too.)

Anyway, the hurdle is not technical - flatpaks or no flatpaks. The hurdle is strategy and ideology.

Ebrains: A new era in Brain Research
It depends on what you're trying to optimise, parquet is a very good all round option. HDF I've never really gotten into as it always felt like a good solution only if I move everything over. It's great if your use case fits.

Feather is a layer on top of arrow and was a proof of concept (so I'm not sure how heavily it's used now), and arrow is fast becoming the interchange format. It's exactly laid out as things will be in memory - which means zero copy for shuttling it around from one place to another. I _think_ there is less support for feather but that is likely changing as everything converges.

Parquet should be

* Faster to write
* Faster to read (even if you're reading the whole file, which actually isn't required, the format helps you read just sections of the columns you need)
* Smaller
* Better at handling actual floating points

than CSV, while having actual standards alongside it. Be a little wary of pandas guessing the right column types for you if you're creating partitioned files btw.

When you're working with pandas, etc (check out Dask) you can pretty much just swap out some reading and writing functions. You can also use pyarrow directly if you need to be very careful about column types.

For your use case you may want to explicitly use a single column for the features that is a list, I'm not sure if that's better/worse than having so many columns. If a reader may want to find just some images where a small subset of features are > X, you might benefit from multiple columns so that the reader only processes the data it needs.

Worth testing out, but I expect you should be able to try it out in an afternoon if you're already working with pandas/similar. Just install pyarrow and use a to_parquet. Things like dask (or straight pyarrow) give you partitioned files as output if you want too, if there's a useful column or columns to split on https://arrow.apache.org/docs/python/parquet.html#partitione...
I actually did have a few issues and things to tweak when I switched (I think I did it fairly early) but after some initial setup everything started working perfectly.
Great to see more and more competition in the money transfer space, congrats on the launch.

Here's a little comparison by amount received (incl. all fees) with the cheapest provider found on Monito.com (comparison site I co-founded) vs Atlantic Money:

Sending £1000 to:

- EUR: €1,199 vs €1,196.83

- CAD: CA$1,693 vs CA$1,686

- PLN: zł5,737 vs zł5,826.58

- USD: $1,311 vs $1,310

As we can see, the competition on pricing for popular routes will be quite intense! Do you plan on mainly focusing on customers who need to send larger amounts? Or are you planning on developing other differentiators (New routes, customers service, user experience etc...))

The 3090 claims are overstated. There are multiple competitors in that space, and all of them need the TDP.
