> I want them hustling to encourage women, minorities, veterans, old-timers, re-inventors, people with nonstandard educational paths

I'm a vet. This is a band-aid and I'd discourage you from thinking this way because it's short term at best.

If you want to hire more vets then companies need to find where vets are. Some of us use our VA benefits and get a degree, others meet the stress of post-separation and collapse. Both will still end up in the field, but companies will not train or treat them the same. That's why companies are now doing that whole, "atypical background" search. Apprenticeship programs within companies would also strengthen vet (and other DEI category) numbers given the absence of an industry wide apprenticeship program.

It was always my opinion that if the goal is more diverse hiring then more diverse sourcing is required.
I did not know that. Certainly wasn’t true in the past. Glad to hear it’s democratized!
"and the storage form of alcohol is there isn’t one."

Do you have a source for this? I would think at least secondarily it could cause fatty liver or beer belly, even if it's technically using the calories from other sources.
Yeah it's on residential broadband. Haven't really had much trouble to be honest. Though I'm based in Sweden and we have fairly well robust networking infrastructure all around, I guess that may be a factor.

I was hit by a botnet after my first big HN hug, so right now at least the search engine goes visitor->cloudflare->server, but if anything that's just added a bunch of ping.

I'm also doing crawling and so on on the same network and it's really not bad for that either. Granted my crawls are fairly slow and very far from saturating any connections.
I recently got a new monitor, and new internet, so I’m finally able to watch 4K Netflix, I upgraded at right about the time the price rise went through, and must have glazed over the announcement, so I just went “oh right, that’s just got much 4K costs, ok”.

Given the subsequent lack of actual 4K content, general lack of content, and the fact that I’ll be finishing the shows I’m watching means that I’ll likely join the lost-subscriber group in a week or 2.
It's important to understanding how just wrong the thinking behind this comment is.

"Everyone needs X" does NOT mean that it's impossible for X to be subsidized, or for "the place that produces X" to be subsidized.

> Flip this on it's head and we see that rural communities are providing a huge subsidy to urban communities in the form of labor and commodities.

That's not how economics works. That's not how any of this works.

If rural areas are getting a disproportionate amount of government spending, then they're (probably) getting subsidized. That they produce things that the urban dwellers need doesn't change that.

Just like if a big city gets a huge federal grant for a new subway system, that's probably a subsidy*, even if the big city produces things that people in rural areas use.

* Though you can argue that the question of whether something is a subsidy is really more about whether the area gets a certain amount of money in total, rather than claiming any form of federal/state spending is a subsidy automatically
Yeah, the housing prices don't really lower until you're looking at a 90 minute commute. I feel like 'semi-rural' is an appropriate term for these places that aren't anywhere near as dense as suburbs, but also aren't mostly large lots of farm/forestry/wilderness/open space or even a patch of homes surrounded by that.
So I guess that means handling SWIFT MT / ISO 20022 messages is a big part of the custom stack?
Some but not the whole truth.

It's a sort of RISC core, but count the number of micro-ops some things translate to, it appears that some of them are pretty chunky.
Three-address designs trade off a larger insn word for fewer MOV insns and a more straightforward use of the register file. ("Compressed" insns are often two-reg special cases of a three-reg insn.) It's true that RISC tends to feature a higher amount of fully-general registers (as opposed to e.g. separate "data" and "address" registers) but that seems to be a separate development, possibly relating to the load-store approach.
How can they force arbitration with a third party?
Their non US catalog is pretty good. IMO they should spend more there. Don’t chase US subscribers already being courted by tons of streaming services.
You just did. Awaken yourself.
I feel like Netflix has been declining for years. A decade ago, their recommendation algorithm was phenomenal. Today, both their library and their recommendations are severely lacking. I'm not sure how much longer I'll bother to subscribe.
Thank you for your service.

That said, consider that leaving just means one less opponent for the other side.
Which kinda-shoulda make sense, since they have different content catalogues in different countries too.
Exactly. I understand some meanings of the word gender: the grammatical meaning, and the concept of “gender role”, which is a set of expectations of society. But there are people now speaking of gender as some kind of innate quality, such that a person can be born in the wrong body, or something. Sometimes the only way to begin to make sense of their descriptions is to suppose they’re talking about an immaterial soul with its own sex. It seems to be all gibberish. But there also seems to be a political movement that behaves as though this gibberish contains meaning.
It's incredible the amount of mental gymnastics you do when men are being denied whole careers simply because of their gender and you still somehow try to spin this as women being the real victims.
> The whole issue of power plants not making enough money

Civilian nuclear has never made money and I have looked. They are always subsidised (Loan guarantees, the US DOE, accounting tricks to wish away decommissioning costs etc.)

It's not because of 'treehuggers' either. Russia, China, Japan, France, S. Korea never have been able to either. Not much treehugger influence in the PRC.

Why then? National Security. Military nuclear is a national security issue. Civilian nuclear exists to support military nuclear. Natsec must always come first, or you soon won't have a nat to sec (in the minds of many).

Full disclosure: I'm not an accountant. Just a taxpayer who got to find out what 'stranded costs' are.
D has a thing where you mark a function as @dynamicCompile, so at the expense of carting the IR and a compiler around you can then use whatever instructions the compiler can detect (i.e. it can be compiled on first use)
I've found the second netflix production takes over, the shows instantly add additional swearing, nudity, violence, and a political narrative. Its a key reason why I won't be resubscribing.
Note, however, that a CL compiler is allowed to assume that calls to functions defined in the same file are to that definition (so it can short circuit the function lookup.) This is from the CLHS section 3.2.2.3. http://clhs.lisp.se/Body/03_bbc.htm

"All conforming programs must obey the following constraints, which are designed to minimize the observable differences between compiled and interpreted programs:"

[...]

"A call within a file to a named function that is defined in the same file refers to that function, unless that function has been declared notinline. The consequences are unspecified if functions are redefined individually at run time or multiply defined in the same file."
Home automation needs a standard all companies can get behind. Right now, there are multiple standards so it's hard for customers to decide which to choose. We need companies to adopt one that will be the standard so consumers can feel comfortable with the one that's chosen without having to think about what standard to choose and whether it will be supported in the future. Wifi is a very good example of what is possible. Home automation companies should follow that example.

If that's not possible then a large tech company should dominate the industry. It should not be Google since they have a bad reputation of taking on projects and dumping them once they feel that their are no near term profits. Microsoft is more focused on business products so they will have a hard time moving forward with the project.

It needs to be Apple. They have the customers that are willing to adopt the product just because it's an Apple product. They can charge a premium and make the product the best it can be. And since home automation fits well with their other products they can be patient while people adopt it. Also, you can't dismiss the products design. Right now most home automation products need to be hidden from view since they aren't very stylish. Apple would change that.

I think Apple should focus on home automation as their next hardware product category. Forget the car, they have a huge opportunity in putting order into the home automation industry.

Rural hospitals are going bankrupt and closing.

https://www.statnews.com/2019/02/21/lawmakers-act-prevent-ru...

"21 percent of rural hospitals nationwide are currently at high risk of imminent closure. It’s more than double that in states like Alabama, Mississippi, and Alaska, where upward of half of all rural hospitals are at high risk of closing. Overall, this adds up to about 430 hospitals in 43 states that collectively provide care for millions of Americans and employ more than 150,000 people."
yes, but only if they can grow fast enough to make an IPO operation feasible...
Came here to say this. Neither are rural for sure, but you don't have to far outside the city to be rural. Limestone/Morgan county has fair number of tech people

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomasulo_algorithm was invented in the 1960s, although it did take a while for OOO to make it into the consumer market.
The model showed 180, but the part was 3/280s-8r1, with all the upgrades! The actual hardware was dead - but it had all the panels and covers for the rack including the SCSI access. The original 180 chassis has housed everything from a pentium 90 to a 32-core threadripper. A fun bit of history. Hanging a mini-itx board in there was a bit comical for a few years, when folks were asking to see what was inside that monster.

What are your thoughts on marriage between people of who one is infertile?
I'd argue the causality goes the other way. Microcode allows you to do complex things on top of a very minimal execution engine. You might use the same ALU for an add as you would for a multistage multiply as you would for a computed jump, etc...

But as CPUs got bigger and suddenly had enough hardware to do "everything" at once, they had the problem of circuit depth. Sure, you can execute the whole instruction in one cycle but it's a really LONG cycle.

You fix that problem with pipelining ([R]eally [I]nvented by [S]eymore [C]ray, of course).

But you can't pipeline a complicated microcoded instruction set. Everything that happens has to fit in the same pipeline stages. So, the instruction set naturally becomes "reduced".

Basically: RISC is the natural choice once VLIW gets rolling. It's not about simplification at all, it's about exploiting all the transistors on much more "complicated" chips.

"Idle" is often measured in the hundreds of watts on enterprise/DC gear.

Newer stuff is sometimes a little better about ramping down at idle, but heck, some server fans will use more power than either of my desktop computers at idle.
I once worked on the MC88K which had this behavior at the instruction level, and I think other contemporary RISC processors did as well. Never saw it in a higher-level language, though. Maybe some variant of SNOBOL (which already had success/failure branches for every line)?

> The US has a lot of crumbling infrastructure that needs repair and replacement and I don't think people want to be told "sorry, your house is only accessible by off-road vehicle now."

This is probably necessary in some respects. The US has an enormous number of lane-miles per inhabitant. There's a lot of subsidizing going on here that doesn't necessarily look like subsidizing, because the way the road network operates is just ingrained into our culture.

> They published some shareholder statement years back saying "The quality of the programming does not seem to correlate with how much most users consume".

That's not particularly informative, though. It could be true right now. "Users" is not a group with a fixed population.

If they drive their content quality into the ground and hemorrhage users as a direct result, it would still be true that the quality of the content was uncorrelated with the amount that users consumed. Instead, quality of the content would correlate with number of users. But the users are always people who are willing to deal with whatever the current content is!

What's weird is that, as a flat-rate subscription service, they're already aware that increasing number of users is good, while increasing the amount of content that users consume is bad.
I think it's good that democratic systems have power over capitalist entities.

Yet all these languages were limited to the 8-bit byte. C on the PDP-10 and -20 only had an 8-bit byte while all other languages on those machines Al had native access to bytes of width 1-36 bits — yes, std::vector<bool> in hardware, but more powerful.

Though a general purpose machine it had instructions specifically designed for low cost Lisp implementation, arbitrary numbers of stacks etc…all inaccessible to C

Let's put it this way: different people care about different things, caring about certain things can put someone in "the left" category. But who cares about this whitelist/blacklist/motherboard bullshit? Maybe it's a US thing (as I don't know anyone who thinks "blacklist" is offensive), but even so some commenters here say that they don't know many in the US that care about it.
I don't know about that... shipping heavy and/or large stuff becomes very expensive even without insurance (= no assumed liability). Big shippers get big discounts from UPS and FedEx so as the little guy you get screwed by price discrimination. Airlines are a much more competitive market.
Sure, if there is any evidence behind the objection I can support it. When the objection is some vague claim about it being "harmful for society" without anything to back that up, I will call BS.
Ask HN: Is This Depression?
Lately I found that nothing really bring me any lasting joy anymore.

Whether it's food, entertainment, investment, sex, social outing. Like this feeling of blues in the background. Nothing intense but just there every now and then. Like my brain craves something more stimulating but nothing really excites me anymore.
Background in my 40s with kids, work is fine, not the best not the worse. Wife and I make good money, things are good.

Note that you don't need partnerships with exchanges to do this. You just need API documentation.

You're just providing software and possibly running (that is, arranging to run said software on some cloud service) software for people.

Also, you might want to look at hummingbot.io .

One of their models is aggregating market-makers.

Exchanges and some coin promoters pay rebates to large market-makers.

If you use hummingbot to do market-making, they'll include you in their pool (which consists of lots of small market-makers that the exchanges and promoters won't deal with individually) and give you a proportional share of the rebates that the pool earns.

Yes, that aggregation does involve dealing with exchanges, but maybe you can come up with an angle that doesn't. Or, maybe that's an easy relationship to arrange.

See https://hummingbot.io/en/blog/2022-02-liquidity-mining-march... for some recent numbers. (Liquidity mining is what they call being paid to do market-making.)
Thanks, perfect.

Zucker's decision to axe CNN Airport was yet another bluster on his part. It was used not only for live CNN and HLN but it syndicated content from Turner's other networks like Cartoon Network and TBS. His decision kept Discovery from adding its content to the rotation.

Zucker rationalized the decision by blaming streaming services and other mobile media but I don't buy that because Airport was still invasive - i.e., people look up from their devices and could still be seeing CNN, etc. today. And, from a business perspective, it required very few internal technical resources (a single master control system and operator) so the costs were almost certainly exclusive to whatever fees CNN paid to airports to install their receivers and displays.

(Full disclosure: I'm a former operations-level CNN employee, half speculating from my time at CNN WHQ)

It's not super useful since roughly half of the homicides aren't categorized though -- and something like 120,000 people are shot every year, it just happens that many of them survive. Let's not be too excited about our 'self-restraint'. Especially when some 4channer just live-streamed another mass shooting.

Deer may cause a lot of accidents (more like 1 million than 'a couple'), but they're the size of a large dog.. very few people die in car-deer accidents -- on the order of 200 per year.
They're all related. When you have an accumulator based design with your ALU and registers, that necessitates a two address format. Or else you're not accumulating. If you don't have space next to your ALU except for one register, you're stuck with an accumulator.

It's a function that has one or more required arguments, and a set of methods. Each method has a class (or an EQL specifier) associated with each argument. When the generic function is called, the best method for which each actual parameter is in the corresponding argument's class is invoked. Think of it like a method in ordinary OO, but it can dispatch on multiple arguments.

There's also some interesting stuff on top of this (method combinations) that allow multiple methods to be invoked and their results combined.

How does this handle cycles? It seems to me that if JS holds on to a WebAssembly object, and that WebAssembly object holds on to another JS object that in turn has a reference to the same WebAssembly object, this solution will leak.

This may seem like a contrived scenario, but it happens a lot with callback patterns. You might have code like:

// MyNativeButton is a native WebAssembly object
// Perhaps it's part of a WebAssembly GUI framework that renders to canvas
this.button = new MyNativeButton();
this.button.onclick = () => this.clicked = true;

This will leak the "this" object forever because there's a cycle: "this" -> MyNativeButton -> JS closure -> "this".
Another interesting theory that may be related is given in Julian Jaynes' The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind (1976).
