Snow Leopard is exactly what I had in mind when writing the comment. I remember watching the keynote and my own excitement about introducing no new features.

Additionally to managers watching that presentation, software architects should mandatory have to work as normal developers in every project they designed for a a few months. Best, if it would be around 2 years after they came up with the architecture. If you don't taste what you cook, how can you learn?

I fully agree on your points with microservices.
The stuff traders do with spreadsheets is actually insanely interesting and impressive, and the ones I have met are far from incurious.

The hours and suffer culture are real, however. Even if you’re lucky enough to work in a space with short trading windows, you likely have to spend a significant amount of off-work time making social connections with your counterparts at other firms. That part of the job intersects with a drinking culture that is no doubt hazardous for many who participate.

We have enough money to do both! I like that the US military is a military superpower. And I like finding art (and healthcare, and a bunch of other things). If we stopped giving uber rich people unearned tax breaks, we could afford to do them trivially.
>platforms could improve to better foster higher quality discussion

The only way these platforms can improve is by growing the moderation teams in ways that scale with the userbase and reinforce the neutrality you're looking for. It's a bureaucracy nightmare but you almost need mods for the mods level of checks and balances to ensure that you don't end up with a Reddit-like situation of 25 people pulling the strings of discourse.
> (a) there are 3 simultaneous production releases (13.0, 12.3, 12.2) - which seems confusing and lack of focus

Don't you mean 13.0, 12.2 and 11.4?

This is pretty common in other software too, isn't it? Ubuntu for example has 18.04 supported until 2023, 20.04 until 2025 and 22.04 (coming out soon) until 2027: https://ubuntu.com/about/release-cycle

Python has 4 supported versions: https://endoflife.date/python, and so does node: https://endoflife.date/nodejs.
I might, might go along with the pearl-clutching if I didn’t live in Redmond, WA, where you can’t swing a dead feline without hitting a Tesla. And my wife goes out of her way to point out a Tesla that is accelerating at anything but “old person going to Sunday church service” mode, just because it is so seldom witnessed. In other words, for all of Tesla’s hype about Scottish tartan mode, most of the ones we see can’t get out of their own way. Which is fine, no need to go tearing down the road just because you can, and you’ll save on tires.

But this isn’t the first time rip-roarin’ vehicles have been sold to the public. Motorcycles, even slow ones, will stomp most cars from a light or 1/4 mile. And, yeah, folks plow into things with them on occasion. But it’s generally failure to negotiate a turn that causes moto accidents, not outrageous acceleration.

So we already have the prior art of Teslas and motorcycles, and the world hasn’t ended. In fact, this is the first such worry I’ve heard about EVs. As I’ve said about fast motorcycles: the throttle is not binary.
Sadly, AMD is even more opaque than that.

A Ryzen 2700 is a second-generation CPU with 8c/16t.

A 3700 is a third-generation CPU with 8c/16t

A 4700g is a second-generation CPU with 8c/16t and a GPU

A 4500h is a second-gen CPU with 6c/12t and a GPU

There is no 4600G.

An X suffix generally means higher clockrate; an H suffix generally means high efficiency (lower power draw); a U suffix means ultra-efficient (very low power draw).

In the 5000 and 6000 series, possible suffices include X, H, U, HX, HS, but not G.

Some CPUs are OEM-only.

Some CPUs are only sold in packaging for laptop/tinybox manufacturers.

In general, if you get integrated graphics, you lose an entire processor generation, but more recently you only lose top-end features.

850 ft-lbs might be a bit too much for the streets. Please, by all means, have as much acceleration as you want on your property or on the track. I personally don't want rich, drunk teens flying their 2-ton death machines into gas stations, through fast food joints, or into me.

That would be green tea no? You pick the green tea, cook it to denature the enzymes to arrest the oxidization (called the "killgreen" step in Chinese) and voila, green tea! Lots of green teas can be quite smooth and even more so with more careful brewing.
The author makes some valid points but I would like to live in a world where we can all get what we want without imposing our choices on others. With synthetic fuels and efficient combustion engines on the horizons, I applaud and am excited about the choices we will have and I am happy to do my part to counter the negatives (by using mass transit when I can, using electric cars for commutes and school runs, planting trees). In return, I would like to own and use my exciting ICE cars on race tracks, for fun trips and even grocery runs occasionally. Let's find the balance, without imposing our ideas on everyone.
A lot of judgement in this comment over people's preferences. If some people don't enjoy the performance characteristics, looks, or limited utility of a prius, this does not make them unreasonable.

EV trucks, sportscars, and SUVs really can't come soon enough because those solve different problems for different people. Not everyone uses their car to commute to an office.

Fair. I could have articulated my point more clearly. I was indeed implying that they "pay a hosting company" with the unstated implication that they also pay a company or individual to deal with the technical details surrounding that process. If I told someone to "build your own house" in the context of home ownership, I wouldn't expect them to understand that as literally building it themselves, I'd expect them to hire an architect, contractor etc, but on HN I can understand why the implication might sound like a DIY suggestion.
I think the perpetrators need to be tried, found guilty and put in jail. Then they can apologize if they want.
When Dodge came out with the Hellcat a decade ago they purposefully got it kicked out of an NHRA event by being too fast for its class. They then turned around and took out all sorts of ad space where they then published the text of that "your junk is too fast, don't bring it round here" letter beside a picture of their new car.

This is the same thing, but for a polar opposite demographic. The pitch is more or less "do you hate driving? well you'll be happy to hear that even we have a car that people who hate driving think is pretty ok."

Really on point here.

Having worked at a company where our VCs demanded we "do what Google does" and then had to adopt the entire "design system" approach, it ends up robbing UIs of anything fun, because all UIs become "design by committee" by default.
I think this might actually have nothing to do with Millennial or GenZ or whatever.

This has pretty clearly been their business for years though. I'm glad she's spelling it out black and white but it's a great B2B platform and they absolutely can't ever catch YouTube so there's no point trying.
This is funny considering multiple tests minus a few outlier publications have Tesla model 3's and Y's boasting some of the worst braking results of cars in their size category.

Granted, maybe they've since changed the brakes as they frequently modify models.

This is very different and clear cut case. I will leave it to legal scholars to debate whether the police was justified. Trying to compare this to a case when the guy is being tortured for training purposes is sick.

In theory since the case is so trivial they could be convicted and immediately given complete presidential pardon with clean record or whatever is the equivalent.

Or jury nullification can be used. There would be no way I as a juror would declare them guilty.

Right. The 99% of people who don't fall for it effectively have no vote in the algo. The 1% of people who do, drive it into the eyeballs of more and more people.

Now, of course, you can correctly argue that all of the "valid" content is believed by more people, and therefore gets more eyeballs. But then again, me tweeting about my breakfast isn't as inherently interesting as this newsworthy woman's tweets are (would be?)
> first - I didn't say that you would or wouldn't. I said it isn't "surviorship bias", the reliability and repair-ability difference is absolutely real.

Sorry, wasn't challenging that part, just bringing up an adjacent point. I apologize, I should've been clearer. I definitely believe the difference in reliability and repairability.

> At a 4% interest rate, and .12$/KWh, a modern fridge @450KWh/yr for 10 years costs NPV -$933 for electricity and say -$1000 to buy it. And old fridge @1800KWh/yr for 10 (more) years costs -$1750. So you'd save about $200 with the ancient fridge, not counting having to manually defrost it.

Thank you for doing the math here and making a convincing case for it. That's actually quite a bit better than I thought. However, electricity is already up to .25$/kWh in some states, and probably only going to increase in the years to come as fossil energy becomes scarcer. That changes the math a bit, but not drastically so I suppose. Refrigerators don't use all that much power to begin with anyway, considering the utility you get out of it.

> And before you say it - there is no "repairing over and over". You need to put about that $200 into like it every 20-30 years, every other generation you hand it down to.

Conversely, modern fridges in my experience aren't THAT unreliable either. If something breaks it's usually the ice maker or like a door seal, and many people will just let that stay broken. It's rare to see the actual fridge part break completely... in my very limited experience.

> Still if electricity doubled in cost, or you just like auto-defrost, or live with other monkeys, it's probably not worth it. But the difference isn't "vast". It's pretty negligible because on the whole, fridges don't use a lot lot of power.

Hah, sorry, I see now you've said the same thing.

> Instead of buying a new fridge because I have to, I should buy a new one because it's 2x as efficient and it's a better value proposition when faced with rising power costs. It'd spawn the right kind of obsolescence not fake bad design obsolescence.

This would be nice. FWIW, I know of a company that hand-builds ultra-efficient fridges out of a small town in America: http://www.sunfrost.com/

They're not very big... hard to compare with the mass-manufactured Chinese stuff... but just glad there's SOMEONE out there still making old-world hardware.
> You would have a billion dollar asset completely beholden to the local government, which could extract what they want from you.

That's not how anything in America works. Billion dollar skyscrapers or complexes as private enterprises exist, often in the same jurisdiction as they stadiums.
What bothers me is that people like to be "eco" if it involves cool new tech, but they never consider a simple facts like the one that in most cases, it's more eco-friendly to use whatever you have until it can no longer be repaired than to buy something that's just few percent efficient. We're being wasteful but we make ourselves happy by packaging it all in "save the planet" box.
ecosystem is changing rapidly. i actually couldn't say if this is true as I have not played with any of the hosted k8s environments outside of highly complex real world usage.

it does seem completely plausible that within the last year or so hosted environments are stable enough and standardized enough that k8s can be a target directly even for small projects. cool. i will try for my next one
Agree to disagree, I guess?

What would you propose as an alternative? To my mind, this is a pretty like-for-like experience with other operating systems, e.g. when you click an unknown file extension in Windows and it prompts you to pick the program to open it with. You'll get a prompt that says "How do you want to open this file?", you'll get a prompt to pick the program, and then there's a tick box that says "Always use program to open .XYZ files" It's reasonably intuitive to me.

And again, if you click "Always", the prompt never comes back again. I've unintentionally clicked Always once or twice and then had to spend some time in the Android System menu resetting defaults.

The only other option for using the non-default browser after you have one associated is to long-click the URL and then manually locate the browser you want to use in the Share menu. That is cumbersome AF. The present menu offered when a non-default browser is specified is much better, IMO.
Presumably because the e-golf is discontinued and the ID.3 is more representative of the future of EV's.
That cracked me up too. How young is this author?

I just sold my 1992 Range Rover, after owning it for a decade. I'm hoping not to buy another car for a while, but if I had to, 2009 is at the newer end of anything I'd be looking at.
> Do you understand that two NFTs pointing to the same url would still be entirely distinguishable?

So is a cryptographically signed receipt. So is an internal database log. These are all that are required for the sale of items in videogames.

> "There is a library" and "there is already running maintained infrastructure" is quite different.

You'd still need a library (or a dozen libraries) to implement a NFT DB in your game. And probably some custom coding to wire it into your local DBs required for the game.

Also, RDS. And databases built into the game engines (such as Unreal, Lumberyard, Unity, et.al.). Running and maintained infrastructure already exists for databases.

> I would be involved in the initial sale, but no auctions/trades/secondary sales.

NFTs can be set up in a way when funnels a portion of future sales/trades back to the generating party. So yes, you most likely will be legally involved in the future sales, unless you explicitly opt out when creating NFTs (which doesn't make much sense, from a "we're doing this as part of our revenue generation" point of view.

> How are you managing trading items between users without some database external to either users machine

This must be done regardless. See previous comments about the NFT DB being too slow to act as the source of truth for videogames.

> Would you say "Yes, that brings me the features I really need - I should change to this different architecture"?

From a purely capitalistic point of view, definitely. It gives me more control over how my product is being used. Why would I want to allow people to trade cash shop items (based on your earlier comments, without letting me take a portion of those trades/sales) when I can make two sales instead?

It'd also save me the CS costs associated with anything that goes wrong with a NFT auction/trade/sale for items in my game. Because I know they're not going to blame OpenSea, they're going to blame me. How do I know this? Because players already blame the game provider for things like DDOS attacks and internet outages.

Corporations love control. Even today, they'll spend more money on infrastructure and development to maintain that control. You can see proof of this in the NFT space with how game companies are implementing their own private blockchains to do NFTs. No need for "what if" games.
There aren't two sides to genocide.
WebAssembly implies static linking (malloc / printf & all are part of the shipped module) and code size matters since it directly influence users (since there might be delays in downloading big payloads).
Both factors plays a role in deciding to plan putting work in optimizations like this.

There are some general gains to be had with this optimization, and probably the same ideas were already around for a while, but putting together in this way was helped by thinking about WebAssembly specific constraints.
I strongly agree.

Words have meaning. Genocide is not “horrible mistreatment of a group I believe is sympathetic”.

The Chinese treatment of Uighurs is deplorable, and should be loudly condemned.

Russian invasion and shelling of Ukrainian cities is deplorable and should be even more loudly condemned. It’s much worse than Chinese treatment of Uighurs.

Neither are genocide. Genocide is slaughtering people with the explicit purpose of eliminating a particular type of person.

Attempting to suppress a culture is bad, and on a spectrum whose terminal point is genocide, but when we jump to the terminal point, we lose all ability to distinguish shades of grey in bad behavior.
We do! We just recently launched it and it's in a private beta stage. If you are interested in the beta, let me know would love to connect!
Economic sanctions are a very, very different thing from coerced 'confessions' from individuals. There are governments that engage in such practices, but they have no place in a free society.
Losing someone has definitely had a negative effect on my mood, health and productivity. I'm approaching 50 and single and it constantly preys on my mind, often causing issues with relaxing and sleeping well. This obviously means I don't bring "my best self" to work. Of course, having a partner does introduce other responsibilities and pressures, but I'd much prefer having those challenges than the existential dread of living alone.

It all comes back to Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, I suppose. Deficiencies there mean you're not truly fulfilling your potential. Yes, I do recognise how fortunate I am to have food, shelter and some savings, but being alone is still hard to cope with.

I hope it's some comfort to know that there are others in the same situation, minroot, and I'm sorry I can't provide any advice other than to keep trying your best and accept that it is enough.
How would you know its 90% certainty? Even attempting to measuring certainty has an uncertainty factor in it.

We know with some uncertainty the murder rate each year, and from this we have some measurable number that a person might be murdered. But we also know that murders tend to occur in non-random ways. At what murder rate should we start to arrest people at random?

They are fun thoughts experiments, but as guides for real life they work about as good as extreme simulations which removes mass, gravity and air friction.
What I found particularly depressing that all this was done with an explicit purpose of obtaining a cert. In terms of human level absurdity, I could only think of Brazil movie. It is both ridiculous and absolutely believable.

I agree that the cost of moral high ground is a great loss to the society as a whole. We may never be able to recover from this. Guantanamo Bay is part of normal conversation and barely raises an eyebrow. Without going into details, my boss's kid recently said his dad drone strikes people ( he does nothing of the sort ).

This is the new normal.
A big corp being hostile to users and treating users like cattle? Nothing new here.

> I always wonder if this is just a poor understanding of the value individuals bring or just short shortsightedness on the part of management/the finance team.

I'm thoroughly of the jaded opinion that when it's not a power play (no one's lizard brain wants to admit there's someone smarter than them), it can actually be a sort-of-rational decision: don't be beholden to someone hard to replace. Hence why you see tons of PHP jobs, but few in languages like the Lisps or Haskell.
It sounds like this is just an exercise in, not learning, but being forced to say "No" (a lot) out of a need for mental survival...in a work culture where priorities are constantly shifted (and this is the key).

Instead, foster change where you can say "Yes, and" or "Yes, but", where there is a common understanding that sure we can work on it, eventually, as it's going into the backlog, that will need to be prioritised, or it goes at the bottom of the queue as any new thing should - as what is already in the queue, should already be prioritised.

Obviously what is already in the stack can be shifted around as the business needs may necessitate the change in priority...but popping shit at the top of the stack constantly...that's not where you need to learn to say "No"...that's where you need to learn to say "Bye".
True cost of driving a car is typically more than twice the fuel price. So the train ticket is not that bad value. The car is just hiding a lot of the cost away in the form of registration, insurance, depreciation, repairs and so on that you don't associate with a single trip. That makes the car trip seem cheaper than it is.
