DP Linpack flops is what counts in supercomputer ranking. Stuck at .44 Exoflops in 2021.
In 8 years I saw it once. A mobile app lead dev couldn't increase his salary at his old company, and they seemed a bit stuck on allowing him to do certain things. He joined my workplace at the time and was responsible for an app that moved nowhere. After 8 months he'd refactored the entire app, couldn't come up with more to do, and was slightly frustrated about the pace and anarchy, and he negotiated a deal with his old employer, who had realised how valuable he was. Nobody was upset, it was all cool.

I often considered joining an old employer. I never did because the ways in which they were stuck are still true, and I think "changing the system from within" can be a lost cause. But if I were truly stuck, I'd know who to call.
that's a pretty great comment!
The use of terrible, horrifying, absurd makes this read less like a serious, considered policy position, and more of a rant. Rants can be cool, but this struck me as less nuanced than I'd have hoped coming from an important organization on a really significant topic.
Anyone have a sense for how much these will cost? Is this more akin to the Mac Studio that costs 4k or an A100 gpu that costs upward of 30k? Looking for an order of magnitude.
My biggest problem with this approach is humans are terrible at paying attention to things that don't demand 100% focus.

A car that drives itself 99% of the time, but fails catastrophically the other 1% is doomed to failure. The human operator won't be engaged enough to take over that 1%. At least not without airline levels of squawks and beeps and wheel shakers and even that might not be enough - airlines don't have to worry about children chasing balls into busy streets, etc. And the pilots are highly trained - drivers are not.

U3011 is significantly newer. HDMI on monitors was not a thing yet when I bought this. It was barely a thing on TVs. My TV at the time had DVI.

This is a 3007WFPT - it has for input Dual-Link DVI, VGA, component, S-Video (should give you an idea of the age) and Composite.

Nvidia's been making their own CPUs for a long time now. IIRC the first tegra was used in the Zune HD back in 2009. Hell they've even tried their hand at their own cpu core designs too.

I don't believe for a millisecond no mistake you've ever made couldn't have had a drastically different outcome. This notion you seem to have that you are completely aware of every variable in every situation you've ever been in is absurd.

My top theory is that this is about login: keeping users signed in allows for a genuinely better user experience, and staying logged in for an app is way easier than in mobile web - especially given that in-app browsers as seen in Facebook and Twitter and so on don't share cookies with the main browser (at least on iOS).
All the so-called "docker killers" are essentially unfinished products. They don't compare 1:1 to docker in feature set and even if they run as rootless, they still are vulnerable to namespace exploits in the Linux kernel. Though docker runs as root, it's still well protected out-of-the-box for the average user and is a very mature technology.
From their readme it looks like you can host it however you want:

You can either run Appwrite on your localhost using docker-compose or on any other container orchestration tool like Kubernetes, Docker Swarm, or Rancher.

Companies seeing some value in it and pushing it but that won't happen. Most companies today want static typing and don't want to rely on discipline for stuff like maintaining documentation/more tests and having them up to date.

If it's true that engineers leave after one/two years then I can't blame them. Whatever cost static typing brings, it's worth it to them. Just look at how typescript usage has exploded.

Ask HN: What laptop should I get for development?
Hi HN.

I haven't shopped for laptops in a decade and I need some guidance.

TLDR:

* Daily use: VSCode, Figma, Photoshop, Firefox, Slack

* Currently use Pop!_OS and I really like it; would be nice to keep it

* I love the look of Macbooks, but I don't know if I will like macOS

* I don't really want to buy into the Apple ecosystem; will I struggle if I don't have an iPhone?

* Light gaming is a nice bonus (but I should say I don't like the look of most gaming laptops)

* I have a high budget

* Looking for something light, slick and portable as I will be travelling a lot

Any recommendations? So far I'm thinking a Dell XPS of some sort but not running Windows on it.
As far as I know the final effect is great - getting reproducible, statically linked programs.

However, learning Nix / NixOS is quite difficult - it requires a specific set of skills (functional programming, shell, Nix building blocks which you can learn from existing Nix code), the documentation is lacking, error messages are cryptic, debugging support is bad.

Your argument is basically "outcomes are worse for black people because black people deserve it and no one wants to say that."

Not sure where to start with that.
It wasn't a process so much as an accidental by-product of what I was studying. By the time I left high school, I was taking German, Latin, and French. In undergrad, I expanded that to include some Old English, Mandarin Chinese, and Arabic. You can't get around memorization to learn languages.

The reason my memory ended up so nuts is that I was only interested in the nuts and bolts of the language, so I didn't continue on with French when it became about literature, I just picked up a new language instead. After a while, languages become more about things like context clues, but at the beginning and intermediate stages, you have to memorize a lot. Since I wanted to go for linguistic breadth (since I was interested in how languages were related/how features travel), I did the memorization stage of language learning a lot.

So I'd say it's down to consistency and longevity of practice. I used spaced-repetition as my main technique, but it's really down to spending 1+ hour a day for 8 years on memorizing.

You also have to keep up with it, or your memory degrades. It's been a good 10 years, and I don't have nearly the memory I used to.
It's baffling that a public health institution would discredit themselves so obviously in this way.

I don't understand the world that these people live in. It's like they don't understand the concept of trust _at all_, they're a few iterations of doubling down on just going into some sort of echochamber nonsense.

The headline isn't even true in the superlative sense (e.g. maybe it spares the odd person, but we make a reasonable allowance for that in colloquial speech.). It's in fact the case that it spares the vast majority - most of us have zero detectable symptoms, both during infection and after the fact.
Another important part of the story is that a central figure in this was Urbain Le Verrier, who just a couple of years earlier had predicted the orbit of a planet based on the orbit of Uranus being a bit weird. That planet was found and named Neptune.

That discovery made both Le Verrier and the world at large very excited, and the race to repeat that feat lead to everyone jumping to conclusions about Vulcan.

I think heuristics are much more important than knowing semantics. Someone who can memorize all the notes on a piano faster than their peer isn't necessarily going to be better at piano in the long run.

Similarly, there was an idea expressed in chess where some people rely on memory to reproduce thousands of similar scenarios, while others rely on the "feel" of the chessboard and the various heuristics related to it (e.g. is the king "safe" -- e.g. castled and not exposed etc., are the bishops "powerful and free to roam" -- e.g. not blocked by pawns or heavily contested etc.).

My argument partially comes from self-defense; my memory is comparatively poor. But I'm able to use heuristics developed over years of experience to make generally good decisions.

So in this case:

"Who would you rather hire: the person who knows exactly what features are available in PHP 7 and which are only available in PHP 8, or the one who will figure it out by trial-and-error of while writing each application and seeing what fails?"

I would hire the person who is able to write the best application, and understand when to use what features or not: similar to the Bond quote "Sometimes a trigger needs to be pulled -- Or not pulled, it's tough to know which in your pajamas". If memory was the most important part of cognitive ability computers would serve a much larger role in society than the (already large) part they do today.

Depends on the type of game, IMHO. For FPS or other fast paced competitive, yes refresh rate is important, but for things like open world single player RPGs I could see someone trading higher pixel density for refresh rate — those extra frames don’t help a lot in that circumstance, but the extra clarity and detail does.
And I've replaced several lines of unreadable, dangerous bash (see article) with a Python expression. Especially anything with string-manipulation, which is typically an atrocity in shell or batch languages. Shall we go on?
I disagree. You're assuming that these purported behaviors would inevitably spread. It's also possible that they're just occurring or being observed within a small group due to the specific incentives and dynamics for that group.

Maybe it's a fashionable research topic in that also gets web traffic but is otherwise far removed from the work of most legal practitioners.
It looks like there are some orgs where "forgot password" is restricted and has to go through an internal site admin- or an Okta CSE. There's not a "Reset password" link on cloudflare.okta.com for instance, just a link to contact their internal support.

Regardless, "reset" can mean different things and it definitely seems like they're being cagey here by intentionally using imprecise language.
Jonathan blow had a great take on this that really spoke to me. I can’t do it justice, but paraphrasing as best I can:

Get the simple to understand, basic thing working and push the harder refactor / abstraction until later. Leave the fancy stuff for a future engineer who better understands the problem.

That future engineer is you with more experience with the actual problem.
Not in tech, but I've seen it in my current company across all departments and in middle management to upper management.

It seems to me it happens more when there's truly great people and interesting projects in general at the core of the company, but the dealbreaker is "temporary" stuff like salary, a stinker of a project, refusal to promote, etc.
I would never use it under any circumstance of my choosing, since it's a dynamically typed language and I don't have any further need for any more of those at the moment; in fact only looking to cut down on my usage of them.

But from my experience working with it on real projects:

- Good tutorials, combined with library and build tooling integration for usage with GraalVM. Startup times make it a horrible fit for anything other than long-lived daemons.

- Speaking of build systems: more ecosystem coalescing around tools.deps, there's a lot of resources around Leiningen, not too many around the blessed native tooling (I know, I know, it's fairly new for Clojure standards, but it is a problem).

- More and better linters for popular libraries. Without good types, you need something to guide you when you're misusing an API; the team where I worked with Clojure lost a lot of time getting Reagent patterns wrong.

My final complaint is something that I don't think can't ever be fixed without undoing what makes Clojure, Clojure:

REPL-driven development combined with dynamic typing, in the same way as its cousin: debugger-driven development, often leads to write-only code that works but good luck using it or modifying it if you don't have good automated tests to tell you how it's supposed to be used and more importantly how it's not.

It doesn't help that tests are de-emphasized by the community precisely because of REPL-driven development. "Just put it on the REPL and see what it does" is not a good way of reasoning about code, and makes it easy and convenient to just pile on more hacks that may or may not break something instead of promoting understanding. "Just write good code and have discipline, you're doomed if you can't do that anyway" does not excuse that other languages have radically different tools and practices that lead to far fewer footguns.

So, the article describes reasons why bash is not good for shell scripts. Then describes some ways how to avoid them, using bash. Which kinda invalidates the idea that bash is a bad tool for scripting. You just have to know how to use it.

For me, I use both. For simple stuff I use bash. For more complex things I use a higher-level language. Like when I have really complex logic, structured data (I wish a new Linux shell would come up that can send objects through a pipe in a standard format like powershell can). Or when I need to do extensive chatting with a database or REST API or something.

Sometimes I use PHP (even locally), sometimes Python. On a Mac, PHP comes out of the box with some nice extensions that Python doesn/didn't offer out of the box on the same platform. So it was easy for me to do scripts talking to e.g. LDAP or some other things. Of course you can pull extensions in with pip but in my work we have a pain-in-the-ass MITM proxy that breaks most of that if it's not set up correctly. So I tend to rely on pushing scripts that need nothing additional to run but the script itself. Also, pulling stuff in from public repos is a bad idea for security.

But for more simple stuff especially stuff that just ends up running other programs anyway, really there's no point. Otherwise you'll just end up with a row of shell() (PHP) or os.system (python) commands.

The Gödel thing isn't quite as a big a problem as it seems. One way of looking at it is that there will always exist true theorems that you cannot prove.

That may seem surprising, but I don't think it is. There are infinite sets and infinite things you can say about them. It's not really a shock that there might be some properties about that set you can only prove by inspecting all of the elements, but you can't actually do that in finite time -- even though it's true. The sets are infinite, the theorems and their proofs are (by definition) not.

That doesn't mean that the foundations of math are fragile. It just means that there are facts you don't know. But you already knew that, too.

The specific theorems that can't be proven are just a subject of your axiom set. You can prove, or disprove, any specific thing you want, by taking it as axiomatic. It's just a question of whether anything interesting follows. That's a judgment for mathematicians, not a fact of mathematics.

I am, of course, handwaving like crazy, and probably driving the mathematicians nuts. Even though I said that the theorem is less surprising than it might seem, the fact that you can prove the theorem itself strikes me as very surprising.

Even if WWII caused a huge number of deaths among Russians, the consequence of WWII for Russia and the Soviet Union was that they became immediately richer than ever in their entire history.

At the end of WWII, the Soviet Union incorporated a few whole countries, the Baltic countries and large parts from its other neighbors, Finland, Poland, Czechoslovakia, Romania, also some Japanese islands.

Besides these huge occupied territories, the Soviet Union stole huge amounts from the Eastern European countries occupied by it. A large number of German factories have been taken and moved piece by piece in Russia, where they constituted the basis of many Soviet industries after the war.

In all the other East European countries, especially during the first 2 decades after WWII, the Soviet Union continued to steal every year much of the useful production of various agricultural products and mineral resources, usually under the camouflage of mixed companies, partially owned by the Soviet Union and by the local country, but in which the Russians dictated, with the support of the Soviet army, which still occupied those countries.

Several East European countries had to pay huge war reparations to the Soviet Union, even if the history of the war was completely opposite from what the Russians claimed, i.e. it was Russia who attacked and occupied parts of those countries at the beginning of WWII and not the other way around. Nonetheless, the victims of the Russian invasions not only lost large territories, but they have also paid war reparations for defending themselves, continuously for about 20 years after WWII.

So yes for Russia, with the help of their US & British allies, WWII had unbelievably good consequences, better than any of the other wars initiated by Russia.

Of course the beneficiaries of all the wealth stolen from the neighbors of the Soviet Union were not the many millions of simple Soviet citizens, but only the communist leaders and their families, who have always secretly had access to many luxuries that were completely forbidden for normal people.

The weird danger of making prototypes are managers who think having a prototype means you're almost done with the whole task.

Clever way to become the site of first resort for makers and engineers.
"had access to a support engineer’s laptop" is very vague, they could have:

1. some kind of remote access to the support engineer's session on that laptop
2. physical access, no login
3. physical access as a different user
4. physical access, logged in as the support engineer

If I have access to your laptop, logged in as you, and you have Gmail open in a browser, then your Gmail account should be considered compromised. (e.g. I could set up a forwarding address in your Gmail settings, set up a POP/IMAP password, steal your session/remember me cookies, install some dodgy software which makes sure I have remote access to your laptop in the future, etc..).
The title seems editorialized by the submitter, and I don't think that's what the word "hyper" means.
Generalization of scientific studies (especially in the "softer" sciences) is a hard problem. On good approach is combining multiple studies that are deliberately designed to asses different aspects of generalization.

Psychology in particular has a problem with many papers poorly assessing their own generalizibility and making much stronger/broader claims than are justified by the actual design of their study. This, combined with the widespread teaching of badly run "famous" studies such as Calhoun, drove me to abandon getting a degree in that field.
