I went from a 16" MacBook Pro with an i9 and 32 GB of RAM to the MacBook Air with 16 GB of RAM, and my build times at work were almost exactly the same. But the single-core speed makes everything _feel_ so much faster than the stupid slow i9 cores. (At less than half the price, and without a fan!)

In my opinion, the Air is the perfect addition to a heavy Linux/Windows workstation. You get the full spectrum from iOS development to gaming, albeit at the cost of having to babysit two or three operating systems. You can use the Air for meetings or conferences, because everything that's not a game has a macOS version (think Microsoft Teams etc.)
How is this convo political?
Yep. Except that the base semantics of the language really are tuned for JavaScript. So I can't see a separation being feasible between the two.

It would have to be a new language, sharing maybe 90% of syntax etc. but differing in some places where interoperability with JS has forced compromises (base number types is one thing I can think of. I'd like separate int and floats, etc.) and, yeah, targeting WASM etc. And honestly, I'd be game for that. Esp if it came with performance advantages.
For context, see my buried comment explaining how I found this here: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30906482

In summary: I don't have any indication it's in current use. I saw this URL in intercepted traffic from an iOS 13 device. I suspect it was used at some point but not anymore. I bet iOS 15 still uses something similar but doesn't use this particular URL (perhaps one with more obscurity/protection).

I think the point everyone bashing on the dumbass guy is missing is that a contract between him and Bird is being used to more or less threaten him into dropping a case against the city, which is indemnified against Bird-related accidents. He may have brought this on himself, but as precedent this is terrifying.
How resilient is the Russian grid? Now that Ukraine no longer needs it, but still can connect to it, perhaps there is a way to cause outage, or even permanent damage?
It's not rational, just like it's not rational to kill a hostage when your demands aren't met, but you need to actually carry the threat out, in order for your threats to be credible.

In short, it's rational on a macro level.
The most consequential recipient of said orders is going to be a ballistic nuclear submarine deep underwater, and water is a terrific shield for the higher frequency radio bands a satellite will have access to. I'm guessing the command rocket will spool out an extremely long wire on its flight trajectory and give access to the VLF or ULF radio bands that can penetrate the ocean.

This article implies that riding scooters is dangerous. I would love to see some stats on that. Is it more dangerous than riding a bike?

I myself ride an electric unicycle. Overall I think that's far more dangerous than riding a scooter or a bike. I've taken a couple nasty spills. But it is way, way, way more fun than riding a scooter or a bike. Plus you have your hands free to carry bags or do some videography.
I'd assume good intent from people working at a company and greedy intent when working with "a company".

People are generally trying to be helpful and doing things that make things better. People can be embittered if they aren't treated with respect.

The faceless abstraction of a company is almost always set up to extract money from you. It's often set up to also provide something useful, since that's one of the most sustainable ways to get people to hand over money. Companies can't become embittered.

Assuming greedy intent is a way to be wise about making sure you get a fair trade for your money.
Instagram has a serious "follow spam". Clearly fake accounts will follow people who follows some kind of niche account with hopes that people will follow back. It works, I can see that those spam-accounts have real followers.

It tried to report those accounts to Instagram, and they don't care (the @spamaccount doesn't violate any ToS). So now I just block.
In any country, someone would have to pay for that very expensive care.

Even somewhere with 'free' government healthcare, it's still the taxpayers who pay.
Based on their 3rd figure, it would take an approximately 100x larger model (and more data) to surpass the performance of the best humans
I accept there are legally recognized limits to free speech, but Oberlin is not doing any speaking, their students are.

From an institutional perspective, if you don't believe in policing your adult student's speech, or actions, are you legally liable. With this ruling you are perversely, in a manner antithetical to free discourse, and freedom of association, to police people and their politics.

Imagine if South African businesses sued Universities for their boycott of Apartheid era South African goods. Or if the Claiborne Hardware Stores succeeded in suing the NAACP for damages as a result of their boycott in 1960s Mississippi.

The aforementioned are widely considered virtuous; they were on the "right side of history" but remember the First Amendment also protects those lacking scruples and virtues too.
Noise cancelling headphones. I'm also planning on brushing up for interviews and will just go to a local library because it automatically puts me in the learning mode.

If the house is noisy I will play classical music on my noise cancelling headphones. I will set 30 minute sprints with 0 distractions and I will ignore phone/email/slack. Then, take a break for a few minutes and resume.
People that get infected more often are probably people that get infected more often not because the virus is more effective on them but because they are living a higher risk lifestyle. I have friends that go out clubbing often and they are the ones who had more than one infection...
I signed up for 4 years for the US Army in order to finish college. Ended up doing 5 years for being stop lossed due to a deployment that got extended. When I joined I had 72 hours college under my belt, went in as a PFC. The reality of service is it is both the good as portrayed here and the shit experiences I know we have all had in the service. Would I change anything, no. Was it all cake, hell no. But I wouldn't change anything. The single best thing about service, that I think most people actually need in life, is the forced mega dose of reality, and how the military deals with it, especially when as a person you've refused to, and made it the militaries problem. Everything about my time in has helped me in my civilian life, except how to explain to people that they are denying reality.
As I said, it was slightly reductive, but does channel a sincere belief of mine: I should be able to choose the software that runs on my hardware.

That could mean anything from a source-available, non-redistributable, personal-use-only control and media system published by the manufacturer with a mechanism to allow me to upload my changes, through to an open enough system that I can just replace the whole thing. There are middle grounds (eg packages or apps) that adhere to set interfaces. You could just replace the HVAC module here.

Without that sort of control it's very easy for software systems to rot away well ahead of the hardware. We've already seen a multitude of subscription-maintenance options for mapping and entertainment. I've had enough. It's my computer running in my car, let me operate it my way.
I never left, every laptop i ever tried just feels inferior against my desktop environment, its just not the same in any category..
Any plans to support rootless operation? That's my favorite feature of podman that LXD currently lacks. I believe the underlying LXC tooling already supports managing containers as a non-root user. Currently LXD requires either sudo or membership in the "LXD" group, which is essentially equivalent to having root privileges.
The limit for FreeBSD software kTLS with our workload is a little over 100Gb/s (using a 2x100G NIC) on a 2697a v4. I think most people only get 25-30Gb/s out of the same CPU when not using kTLS.
Sounds like a textbook case of contributory negligence on the part of the rider, with plenty supporting evidence.

It's a shame that he's paralyzed. But I guess that's how it works in the US - if you've lost basically everything, then you have no reason not to sue. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain.
Sadly him being one of the more technically qualified congresspeople (degrees from MIT, etc.) is a scary prospect, considering his political values and the implications that can be had on technology policy. It’s easy for people here to live in a vacuum and say “I don’t care about if he’s R or D”.

This is the same guy who voted against lowering prescription drug prices (to name one out of a hundred examples) and who just recently justified voting against the anti-lynching act because he doesn’t believe in “hate crimes” as a legal concept. Just because he’s technically impressive doesn’t mean he’s moral or upstanding, unfortunately.
Social sciences have the highest number of people who self-identified as Marxist back in 06. The rate was 17.6 as Marxist, 24.0 as radicals [1]. They've also been the worst field for the three decades of reproducibility crisis. You would have trouble convincing me that they aren't a fake, compromised "science" that ignores the scientific method to produce whitepaper propaganda.

Tbf I don't think the city should be liable. My quote is still remarkable if not absurd. Most people I know think our legal system is so convoluted and far removed from it's intention and I think the quote speaks to that
Hackers steal 900K emails from Russia’s largest state-owned media corporation
ELF relocations can also patch the machine code if I understand correctly.
I'm not convinced Bird is irrelevant, specifically because the city made a rather convoluted agreement with Bird to enable its use in the city.

Use that is _known_ to be largely done outside of the terms of use and/or city law.
The GI Bill is not at all limited to in state public schools.
It's 1-part reinforcing MAD and 1-part guaranteed revenge.

Simply by existing it rules out any kind of first strike at all.

No matter which targets you hit (you can't destroy all the nukes, that is essentially impossible), even if Moscow is a glass crater and you successfully hit every nuclear command bunker this thing is still going to wipe you out.

Yes, all this does is end humanity - but the threat needs to be there to avoid the first strike in the first place and the contract is if you hit us with a nuke you are going to burn with us.
You shouldn't be personally, but collectively as a society we should try to look out for each other as a general moral rule, instead of a "me first" pure capitalistic mindset.

Same reason that we try to help the homeless, the less fortunate, etc.
>I would love to hear what you think would happen to you if you had openly discussed the equality of man irrespective of race in the "public" town square in a southern plantation town in the 1850s.

I would love to hear how you think the idea of giving up slavery was discussed and eventually won over in the North itself (who kept slavery well after the revolution).

I would also love to know why you think the public square means addressing everybody (like giving a lecture or declaring some platform), as opposed different people being able to discuss things with others in a public space.

>I would further love to hear what you think would happen if you did that while committing the "crime" of being black.

The same thing that would happen if you commited what is considered a crime against today's order on a modern public space.

>Getting made fun of on Twitter seems like a substantially less severe consequence than what would happen if you proposed radical ideas in the "public town square" throughout history.

That's only because 99.999% of it is of less consequence - compared to people discussing the abolition of slavery or setting up a revolution back then.

Try something that the current establishment considers threatening and equivalent to the above, and see how far you stay (a) on Twitter (b) in a job, (c) out of jail.
The book also covers a broad range of late Cold War events and weapons programs - it's well worth the read, just don't expect it to be a mirror image of something like Eric Schlosser's Command & Control (which is also a great read but with a much narrower focus).

From the been-there-done-that department:

* Sitting in a beach chair gets old in one or two weeks. Use the time to skill up: spend a few hours a day building something, or do a masters degree or short term course - maybe somewhere picturesque in Europe.

* Starting up is going to burn you out more than you are now. And possibly in addition to being burnt out you will have much less money than you do now.

* You will find another job unless you quit into the start of the recession.. then you have hiring freezes all around and you might need to take a sh*y job or work with sh*y people.

* Even if the bubble doesn't pop - for your next gig its unlikely you come in from a position of strength. They WILL low ball your comp on your next job. HR scum have seen this movie enough times.

* Boredom breeds a gambling habit. Don't use your free time to trade exciting markets.

* Cut up your credit cards. Its super easy to pile up "just a months income when I get back to work".

* Put half your money into a long term investment account. Put the rest in a cash account. Never eat into that long term account. When the cash account goes to 10% of what you started with drop everything and begin searching for paid work.

* Be accountable to yourself. Try to something meaningful to show for yourself when you're done.
I don't really see the point on a physical keyboard. It makes sense to repurpose the enter key on a phone or tablet where there's limited real estate and the keyboard covers half the screen. On desktop/laptop, that isn't necessary - you can just tab over to the next field (or click it, for the less tech savvy), and click the "submit" button.

Also, it's right in front of your eyes, so it's clear when it says something else. Your computer keyboard isn't, and people don't usually look at the enter key before hitting it (even hunt-and-peck typers should have the enter key committed to muscle memory). Forcing people to look down at their keyboards before hitting enter would make ergonomics worse, not better.
This is true of pretty much anything that wants to directly invoke the browser's download mechanism. AFAICT the options are either:

1. Use JS, in which case one can handle errors and otherwise be involved in the request / response process. However, if you wish to offer a "download" funciton, this necessitates downloading all the data into JS memory before offering it to the user.

2. Use form-posting with `Content-Disposition`. One can no longer be involved with the request and response. And any response which does not have `Content-Disposition` will result in the browser redirecting. However, the user will be able to directly stream the download without your page being involved beyond initiating the request.

Since the data downloads are gigabytes in our case, we opted for (2). But I would also love to hear if I'm wrong about this trade-off.
in case anyone is wondering:

- Open the app, and select the 'Shared' folder at the bottom

- Find the spam content, click the three dots to open a menu

- At the bottom, hit 'Report abuse', select an option, and confirm.

So far, I've only been able to do this one-by-one, though I receive a couple of these shared docs every day.
And the tax payers will pay for it if he runs out of money to pay too and it becomes emergency care and eventually a bad medical debt.
Do all that without writing decent code and you still have nothing to show.

> Lack of communication skills is a bug not a feature.

A bug I'm willing to take in exchange of producing high quality code. Besides, we live in 2022 now, we can type. I just said I suck at talking not at communicating. There are multiples forms of communication which don't involve opening your mouth.

Nice.

Absolutely insane that to create a board I have to first ask someone "so to verify your qualifications, you are a man who likes other men correct?

Or rather, I'm sorry, if not that, you were born a woman and became a man? correct? Great you got the job!"

These laws were insane and are taking us backwards while hiding under the guise of "forward progress".
The limit applied only to browsers which have all implemented HTTP/2 at this point.
That's definitely a valid view, but I'd say it's not the only one.

For some usecases, quick bootsrapping is incredibly valuable - eg an early-stage startup.

That was the historical case for Rails: quick to get started and not too bad to maintain/expand as you grow (it got better about later stages in the later years as the ecosystem matured). That's a tradeoff that can make a ton of sense when you're starting a project that has a good chance of not existing in 6 months and where every day of initial productivity is incredibly valuable.
> Not defending Ivermectin, but what do people have against trying alternative therapeutics for COVID?

Nothing at all, as long as proper testing procedures are followed.
> Generally there is only a single shared FPU/AVX/SSE unit doing the math over two hyperthreads.

Hyperthreading does in general share units (both ALU and others); that's what hyperthreading is.

Apart from that, it really depends on what operations you're doing; e.g., modern Intel CPUs have three ports that can issue a 256-bit FMA, each, every cycle.
IIRC, Bill O'Reilly wrote about this idea while he was getting his MPA from Harvard. Create a universal national health service run by the Surgeon General where all the doctors wore military uniforms. This would radically reduce any big government scare messaging from financial conservatives.
> People sometimes seem to imply that if we could just select the most appropriate types of language, and only express our true, heartfelt feelings, then our language will never cause pain.

Accepting the inevitability and utility of pain is part of being an adult. Childhood should teach us how to handle pain and mitigate the pain we cause, but not to avoid it unnecessarily.

> they seem to have some active core contributors

Looking at merged pull requests, the project is quite healthy as the following shows:

https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=merged%3Atrue%2Bp...

Next.js is on a whole new level though

https://oss.gitsense.com/insights/github?q=merged%3Atrue%2Bp...

The number that I'm really interested in, are last commits more than 28 days ago. With this number, you can guesstimate how popular Next.js is with non core contributors and in the case of Next.js, it really is staggering.
> Locally evaluated, it's a good option.

Locally evaluated, it's a rational option. But I think you're going to lose a lot of people by framing it as "good". Rational decisions are not always good ones, and vice versa.
Edit: I did read it wrong. One stat was for prevention of infection, another was for hospitalisation.

Most lawyers don’t make extravagant salaries. And a lot of routine stuff isn’t that expensive. But Bird is probably using some big city law firm with expensive partners and highly billed associates with lots of billable hours making sure every i is dotted. Legal bills for this sort of thing add up fast.

Professional services add up quickly. How many people here are going to provide 2.5 years of coding services even part-time for $50k?

>> My favorite part of the article is dispelling the myth that in the military senior people bark orders

I heard Petraeus (I think) on a podcast and he said the biggest misconception by civilians about the military is you can just order people to do things, and the biggest misconception by the military about the private sector is you can just sack people.
What Bird is really fighting for here is their entire business. If Bird has to take on liability for any accident on their scooter, regardless of fault, then there is no scooter business. Heck, potentially no sharing type business at all could exist then.
If you actually read the article, you would have noticed that birds lawyers are contending that he was somehow intoxicated from drinking the night before. Also anyone with a passing familiarity of marijuana would know that the half life of it sitting in your bloodstream is almost an entire month.
Yeah, lazy evaluation/fusing operations is I think their best feature. Fixed interface BLAS has really good performance, but I mean, something as simple as DAXPBY is an extension. Selecting what functionality to super-optimize is hard for a fixed interface, and involves non-technical stuff like figuring out what subroutines people actually want.

I'm sure someone has already looked at this, but I wonder if Eigen can just somehow nab kernels directly from BLIS, haha.
Unfortunate that this is the top comment at the moment - there is zero evidence he was impaired at all. Others have quoted the exact lines stating so in the article.

Bird just playing a defamation game, gross.
I think the answer to that is just: it depends.

Again comes back to usage patterns. Yes, if you're doing aggregation operations on a small number of columns then I expect locality of reference could be better with a column-store, rather than thrashing through row-retrievals one after another (and then just throwing them away after aggregating).

But if you're frequently doing "look up this customer and others like them" and then using the bulk of the information there? I'd expect better cache behaviour out of row oriented storage.

But these days it's so unclear what's happening inside the actual "black box" that is our hardware that it's hard to make generalizations.
the problem is not that Ivermectin is only for Horse.

It's that the huge amount of misinformation caused people to get the horse version instead of asking a doctor for the version designed for human.

Its basically uneducated peoples trying to self prescribe because they think they know better than a doctor that spent 14 year in school and had GPA of 3.5+.
