You greatly understate EU defense dominance. Ship building, subs, tanks, semi-autonomous weapons, small arms, self-propelled artillery, etc., are all areas where EU member states meet or well exceed US/UK weapons exports, particularly Germany and France. Although not an EU member, Turkey is increasingly becoming a player in the drone, small arms and missile space. Its easy to confuse high profile programs like the the F35 with the much greater volume of other categories of arms.

I think the author loves to wear pants whenever it’s not painful.
Ah yes, the skeleton screen. Because it’s so much better to have the application in an unusable state, but at least it’s on-screen!

There’s another state that may be related to uBlock Origin (or other extensions) immediately afterwards, too: You can click bookmarks etc. but nothing loads (only after a significant delay). Again, awesome UX.

I guess I’m slowly becoming conservative because I’ve come to hate change. Most of the time, it doesn’t improve anything. And then, with increasing odds, changes actually make things worse. Not just limited to Firefox, of course. Also Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, whatever. Hell, even cars are getting worse every year.
I went through the nand book too,it's amazing. What do you mean exactly by building a 6502 machine? In real hardware? You bought a 6502 and created a whole computer from other bits?
This.

I love Linux, but I also just want to be productive in my job. Gone are the days where I can spend hours happily compiling my own kernel to optimize the hell out of bootup time and slim it down. There's no single ready to use distro that has a somewhat modern feel to it (IMHO).

So I bit the bullet long ago, bought a Mac, made it feel as close as home as I could and I haven't spent a second trying to debug a random bug affecting my bluetooth, audio, graphics or wifi card since. The only thing I truly miss is i3wm.
I am not sure if I understand this claim. It looks like this setup has the same density of information as a typical 27in 4k monitor.
For clarification the graphs aren't comparing JIT vs interpreted they are comparing the JIT tier being allowed vs not allowed.

Even with JIT enabled most functions are still just interpreted, hence why the vast majority of tests are equal as the vast majority of tests are interpreted either way. It's only when the JS engine thinks it can start to realize performance gains on hot code that it will start to JIT it. You can see this behavior in the "Average improvement and regression" graph where JIT starts trading other stats for performance gains.

Knowing this and looking at top "daily browsing" sites you get results about exactly where you'd expect, the JIT engine is tuned to let the vast majority of the code on these sites be interpreted since much is only called a handful of times or less leading to little difference. You see a bit of the JIT engine tiering where it starts to pick up a few of the hot pieces of code at a trade off on the other stats.

If you look beyond "daily browsing" sites into web apps and such that's where JIT is actually focused and where you'll see the most gains. It's intentionally not trying to get involved on lightweight pages because it makes no sense to do there, regardless how much time and money is invested into the JIT it will always know the best performing strategy for some 1 pass JS to set the page layout is to interpret it.
I'm just hoping it's never pants weather where I am. I don't want to witness that.
Dov Frohman invented the EPROM 50 years ago at Intel
Same here. Find any good resources? I've been leaning on auto-encoders to encode better than word-2-vec and its ilk.
Why, specifically? I mean, it has problems, sure, but all languages do.

What should those negligent people use instead, particularly?

What's your suggestion for an alternative system that is as deployable?
Pretty much. That and how much your view changes when you move your head.

I’ve played with virtual monitors in VR. Everyone loves the idea of having 80 foot virtual monitors. But, all that really does is make it so you can’t move your head in close to examine the low-rez text like you can with smaller virtual monitors up close.
Wow the visual aesthetic of this video is almost exactly what I've been seeing the kids get into these days.
I've been using Firefox since it was called Firebird. I feel old. It's gotten better and better every year.
Completely agree. Objectively buttons don't seem to have any advantage and personally I find them fugly.
What you're saying is copmpletely wrong. ImGUI is transparently creating structs with internal widget state for every slightly more complex widget on the screen. Look at the state structs in imgui_internal.h to get an idea of what I'm talking about, e.g. ImGuiInputTextState or the huge ImGuiWindow structs. The apparent statelessness of immediate mode GUIs is an illusion that is produced by an extra layer of internal logic that manages that state.
Ask HN: Is it common for a SW Dev to earn $14/hr?
If you read the stories here on HN, it gives the impression that we work in an industry that pays pretty well and it gives us a good chance for a comfortable life.

Then I come across this tweet where a software developer is earning $14/hr. So, I just want to ask how common are such low paying jobs in tech? Personally, I have not seen such or experience this low level of pay before.
Good point, that's very helpful to know.
I am so fucking done with the internet turning into a trash pile of scams and exploits.
My fundamental issue with any wireless solution for home internet is that ... I have a home. It's not going anywhere. Even with a 9.x earthquake a la Fukushima, the average probability is that it's not moving much in the next 100 years. It's got copper, most of it is for power and pipes. Seems pretty trivial to run a tiny bit more for data. Zero probability that a common atmospheric bus serving the entire area (1) is going to guarantee me as much bandwidth as I can get over that wire. Why engineer freespace optics when a few pounds of circa 1950 oxygen-free copper will do?

(1) area in this case is another definitional headache all it's own, driven by power and wavelength.
I mean I'm starting to think you live in Liechtenstein, or maybe in Austria but you sneak across the border for late night nookie?

I mean the arguments you're making, although not really arguments, don't hang together, you talk about GDP per capita which is big because the population is small but then all this other stuff which is partially small because the population is small.

I mean are you sure California only has double the murder rate with its 39 million people vs. Liechtenstein's 38 thousand, because if so, damn!!

Also, does that 20 take into account the people that Liechtenstein is imprisoning in Austria because the sentence would be more than 2 years? When I look at https://www.prisonstudies.org/country/liechtenstein I think not, also it says the official capacity of the prison system is 20 and they are imprisoning 12, but ah hah https://countryeconomy.com/demography/prison-population/liec... 41 males and 2 females were held, I interpret that to mean about 12 were held in Liechtenstein and the rest 28 people were held in Austria as there isn't the capacity in the country.

You know if a country doesn't have the prison facilities to house its prisoners and farms it out to neighboring bigger country this also argues against the particular geopolitical significance of that country.

Finally, re: California, I mean that someplace manages to imprison 0.03% of the world population, while obviously not a great argument for quality of life, really does argue for geopolitical significance.

Well done picking a good TV. Unfortunately even other LG TVs are doing this: https://twitter.com/chriswelch/status/1369733357756686349

Many, many smart TVs send analytic data to marketing companies. Some even send full snapshots of the screen. https://archive.ph/DWTGC

> When tracking is active, some TVs record and send out everything that crosses the pixels on your screen. It doesn’t matter whether the source is cable, an app, your DVD player or streaming box.

> Many of the TV companies say they aren’t violating our privacy, because ACR data technically isn’t “personally identifiable information.” TVs, they say, are shared by an entire household.
> Beware of market expertise ego and dogfooding as it only reinforce your expertise and biases. Bring industry newcomers to your project for feedback, it’s the only way to make sure your expertise doesn’t make your product only valuable for yourself.

Good point, but this particular demographic has no problem letting me know where the rough bits are.

The thing about the MVP pattern, is that software people seem to think that we get to go by different rules, from everyone else.

Software lets us iterate quickly, and I have found ways to leverage that (I call it "Evolutionary Design"[0]), but that does not give me license to deliberately foist garbage onto end users; especially ones that are quick to anger, and slow to forgive.

Every other craft, engineering discipline, and production system, throughout history, has had to take the risk of going through a design phase, based on expertise, user surveys, need evaluations, etc., then actually get to at least production prototype phase, before determining whether or not to proceed further.

It's a risk, but one that everyone has been taking, for hundreds of years.

For some reason, we software people seem to think that the flexibility of software absolves us of the Responsibility to deliver a high-quality prototype, and that we don't need to take the same risks that everyone else has been taking throughout history.

I totally agree that said flexibility gives us a great opportunity to actually deliver a much more suitable product, than was achievable, with other production methodologies, and ease of iteration is how we get there.

I just don't agree that we start by throwing out some junk, without first doing some real homework.

I'm really tired of seeing junk prototypes becoming the shipped product. Once it is out there, and running in production, it's quite difficult to make the kinds of pivots and changes that are almost certainly required, without turning the app into a disgusting mess. One of the nice things about the last couple of years, is that I have been able to completely nuke the database, several times, as we have pivoted. I'd never be able to do that, if it were a production app. I'd have to devise some kind of horrible kludge, or, more likely, limit the pivot.

You need someone else's opinion on what to wear, but now also need to know what to watch? It sounds like you need a significant other. They always are ready to tell you what to wear and what they want to watch!
Out of curiosity, why did you put quotes around the word "marriage"?
Am I correctly interpreting your comment as implying that same-sex marriage is not legitimate, and that children should not be aware of its existence (or at least, that its inclusion makes a book inappropriate for children)?
The magic is the question of “dangerous”. The spectrum of “dangerous” includes “played in a park by herself at 9 yo” (the Debra Harrell situation). What little survey data we have has people agreeing with that being dangerous. A majority believe 12 to be too young.

When I was 12 I was riding public transport one hour to school and back. My brother was 7. I was there as backup for him but he could do it by himself. And if he got lost, he’d have found his way home by asking local shops for instructions.

My parents would have been “neglectful” by this metric but both he and I loved this freedom. We were both loved and cared for and were top students. They would have been scared if he got lost but it wouldn’t be grounds for revocation of freedom.

My parents were right. I am right. This majority of people who want me to chop my kids off at the knees are wrong.
> This is so unbelievable it can't be anything else than pure propaganda, especially when proof is absent and providing proof was trivial.

What world do you live in where this is unbelievable?

Is a $1 million arbitration win enough for you to believe them?[0] Or do you think that was also just based purely on hearsay?

Or maybe the lawsuit filed by the state of California is also propaganda?[1]

Surely, if this was all made up propaganda, Tesla would be the first to say so - and in front of an arbitrator or judge, no less. Their many well-compensated lawyers would find it out in discovery and tear the state to pieces, and win all of these cases.

That doesn't seem to be happening.

> If I took a random population and made them train for grip strength. Then I compared that groups lifespan to the overall lifespan of people I didn't make train for grip strength and I find that there is a correlation with longer life span for people who trained for grip strength...
Well I've just verified causation. There is literally no other conclusion.

What if the people you trained for grip strength also started taking care of their health in general (eg. eating better and moving more often), after starting your grip strengthening exercises?

Despite Biden claiming the best economy ever I'm seeing pay plummeting as well, also seeing looming layoffs with FANGS. Really seems like things are so screwed up the system makes a bigger profit off Americans as addicts and inmates than as working people with lives and whatnot.
Not a book but CNBC's series "American Greed" is great. My favorite episode was about a guy who was (on paper) the second largest biodiesel producer in the country. He was literally just making up fake green energy credit numbers in a spreadsheet and selling them to companies looking to buy green energy credits.

The EPA was made aware of him but did nothing even after they physically inspected his biodiesel "factory" and discovered it was basically just an empty warehouse.

What finally brought him down was his taste for expensive sports cars and his being an asshole neighbor. He was always parking his sports cars pn the street, blocking school bus stops, etc. Local parents suspected he might be a drug dealer because of how many cars he had and how lavishly he spent his money, and they asked the local police to look into him. It was the local investigation that uncovered the fraud and brought him down.

My concern with the Mac mini in particular is that then you need a display, and honestly, having an LG Ultrafine 4K hooked up to my Mac Studio, you really need a 5K display to get the most out of a Mac.

I think 1440p displays work well too, or at least they did back in 2014 when I was using Macs, but I didn't see any for sale when I was shopping for an interim while I wait three months for the Studio Display to ship.
Yeah but the crime statistics aren't copagabda.

Statistics that parallel defunding of the police.
I think the “Macs are owned longer than PCs” is under-appreciated. My previous MBPro was 6 years old when I upgraded. My wife’s daily as a freelance editor is a mid-2013 MacBook Air. That puts our total capital cost for that computer at under $10/mo.

What would high-cost really be? $5/workday isn’t even high-cost to me if it was a daily coffee bill, but certainly not if it’s your main computing device.
> I've never attached my 2020 LG 4k 65" to any network and it works great.

that's also my philosophy (in sway). in my first workspace I keep all my terminals that belong to a specific task ws 2 for another task ws 3 for web browsing, ws 3 for irc|mail|signal etc ... and most of the time I am in fullscreen so I won't get distracted (by things like polybar/waybar etc) ... really did wonders for my attention and productivity.

I miss a lot of this stuff. It's odd the emotional attachment I have to software. It's almost like how pictures or smells take you back to moment in time, thinking about old software does that for me.

I used to use Zune with music pass every day. Thinking about that interface now reminds me of my first job and working on startups in my spare time -- probably the happiest and wildest time of my life. Like most of my generation MSN Messenger was another I used every day. That reminds me of school, friends and teenage heartache. Windows Phone 7 was the OS of my first smart phone. It reminds me specifically of being 19, sitting at my girlfriend's kitchen table playing angry birds at 3am while eating a bowl of cereal. Windows Media Center reminds me of the hot summer nights I'd spend at my teenage girlfriend's house watching films on her XP MCE computer.
I'm not sure it's even legal in California to secretly record someone.
So True. South African emerald scion Elon Musk isn’t capable of saying the n-word or promoting a culture of racism or misogyny. How would that be possible??
Microsoft academic was imo much better. Instead of just entering words into a text field, you also had tags like biology or chemistry that you could include or exclude. Sure you can manually do that even now with say Scopus but the ML stuff was really handy. Google scholar doesn't have any such tags or topics fields unfortunately.
Not sure about the source of weather's accuracy. I was told partly cloudy, but it's crystal clear blue sky with not a cloud in sight. That coincides with the other weather sources I typically see.

And if they can’t afford comparable PC’s, then Macs are not affordable. There are many affordable non-mac options.
From what I've heard, Google's product life cycle is basically:

1. Google launches a new product, which gets promotions for everyone involved because launching new products is what the review and promotions process is optimized for.

2. Nobody maintains the product because that's not how you get promoted.

3. The product is discontinued.

Sometimes they'll have similar products that do similar things replace each other. So I wonder if anyone at Google secretly uses this site as a source of ideas for new products to try and launch.

Yes, just now. Here's the piece of information I was looking for - rclone supports S3
You can add aircraft (yes, there's no equivalent for the F-22 and F-35 but both don't form the backbone of the USAF yet and cost an outrageous amount of money), and helicopters, rockets, radar/sonar, combat systems (Thales is a world leader in that sphere) to that list.
I would presume that phones are not allowed on the factory floor - if only for safety reasons around machinery. That would reduce the probability of having records.

Tell HN: Make sure to configure DKIM/SPF with Fastmail
I've been using Fastmail since 2007, so I haven't touched the DNS of several of my domains in years. All of my email has been getting flagged as spam by GMail recently, and it's likely because I never added DKIM/SPF records to my older domains. I know there are a bunch of old Fastmail users here so figured I'd do a quick PSA
Very well said. People often claim that everyone complains about every Firefox UI change, but this is a perfectly consistent thing to do if you think Firefox has been getting slowly worse since v3.5 or so.

The one thing I will say in its favor is that Firefox still maintains a decent amount of customizability, at least for the seriously dedicated. I still have a separate search bar, a menu bar, and have removed the "hamburger" menu button entirely. For me, the UI has changed very little over the years, but the pile of hacks in my usercss file has grown over time...
I guess that’s kinda my point — for me, “giant new swaths of spectrum” is my 5G experience. (Just a part of how muddy the waters of this topic are.)
Admittedly I don’t have as much experience cross compiling with Rust, but my experience has not been so smooth. You need to install each target toolchain manually with rustup, and then some tool chains require different versions of Rust (e.g. the ESP32 RISC-V toolchain requires nightly). Another time I tried cross compiling on x86 Linux targeting Linux on ARM64, and I kept getting linking errors (or it couldn’t find an acceptable linker).

I certainly agree that Rust is much better than C/C++, but it’s not quite at Zig level, at least in my (limited) experience.
