People are in such a hurry to talk, they don’t listen.
This used to be such a huge huge geekfest for me, but the world looks so different today. 64-cores (~$8000) & a TB of ram or two (~$5000/TB) and a SAN with 18 NVMe drives ($2000/pop for 8TB enterprise drives) is a huge huge huge leap in performance for EVE, a massive generational shift, is definitely not bad.

Previously it felt like eve ran on semi exotic hardware. Now though, this feels kind of regular, mortally achievable. NVMe has taken over. Massive cores are not that expensive.

They did have big amounts of data to store, it seems like. So alas this is too pricey for an all Optane buildout. They went with 64 rather than 128 cores, which I hate to call penny pinching but why not- maybe your sql server really couldnt use it but it seems like it can. But these tweaks would just be some more gravy, not a fundamentally more radica proposition.

Specifics aside, it's just two boxes (and then again for HA). The world feels like it's filled with big expensive databases and massive corporate compute clusters, humming along, somewhere far up in the cloud. We are used to seeing data center photos now, with aisles. Not sparsely populated racks... even if CCP did spend over $100k per pizza box (for the flashsystem 7200s).

I hate to say it, but there is a certain bit of AltaVista bragging about their hardware in 1996[1] to this. 'Our search is so complex it has 6 whole computers running it!' It's not that bad, this is really tight hardware (IBM charges north of $100k for FlashSystems 7200s), but it's weird seeing scale up as the name of the game, weird seeing a single box and tbinking- that is the EVE universe. Sorry I really want to encourage CCP continuing to share their tech, their ops, I hope this isnt too rude.

I've been in a conversation about "blaming technology" recently,
needing to disambiguate amorphous Technology (big-T) and it's
possibility of neutrality, from specific malevolent creations. To
disambiguate land-mines and AK47s from Penicillin and baby incubators.

There's a mile of difference between creating an attractive nuisance,
a "Trap" to borrow from Adam Curtis, and failing to account for
negative side effects. We're still very much in the era of apologetics
and rationalisation with regard to knowingly creating controlling,
addictive and deleterious technologies. There is a kind of tragic
death drive or celebration of Thanatos/atrophy going on there. I
actually think the modern word that best captures it is "convenience".
(it must be pronounced with a sigh of resignation). :)
No, that's never happened. If it did, I guess we'd cross that bridge when we got to it. There are people better than me (HR, etc.) at resolving these sorts of conflicts.
Yea and there’s a reason they stopped. It’s unmaintainable. How will you replace a section of cooling pipe with molten or solid sodium in it?
There's definitely a difference between deliberately trying to wipe out a single invasive species, and devastating an entire ecosystem. [1]

The problem is that you are grossly mistaken in which is worse. It's the latter. Whether you do it out of purpose, accident, negligence, or apathy, the consequences don't care about your intent.

437,283 American children were removed from their parents last year. Meanwhile fewer than 350 people under the age of 21 have been abducted by strangers in the United States per year between 2010–2017

Now of course CPS handle actual cases of child neglect in that 430k, but it certainly seems that the most likely people to take a child are either

1) The other parent

2) CPS

3) Death from Road traffic, Firearms, Suffocation/Drowning, Drug overdoses

And way down the list is abduction

You make an excellent point, and it's important to understand that these higher-level templates need not be static, immutable, canonical representations of instances of classes but rather models informing when and how its parts should be presented.

I think the same question applies to lower-level UI components. Don't primitive fields also rely on their context to properly behave and present themselves? For example, text is rendered differently based on language, location, screen size, accessibility settings, and time of day. Likewise, text fields behave differently whether they represent a person's name, an email address, a phone number, a credit card number, or a password.

Similarly, a person template should also adapt to its context and the intent of the user to properly select an appropriate presentation. For example, if a list of authors is filtered to only show American authors, then it might not make sense for item templates to redundantly show the author's nationality. Whether this task can be sufficiently automated to be practical without AGI is still an open question which I'm attempting to resolve.
Hold on. I'm still complaining about generics since its still not possible to write a generic map function on a struct.
German is famous for its compound nouns. My feeling is compound nouns are noticed by English speakers due to their explicit verbosity, but I don't have any data to back that up.

based on rough calculation, your 40k city has a murder rate of 3.5 per 100,000; Tokyo has a murder rate of 0.26 per 100,000.

Maybe he just misses the mild buzz from the alcohol.
> Isn't it ironic that in the name of inclusiveness, certain words are excluded?

No, because the point of inclusiveness in this context is to be inclusive of humans and human cultures, not words. Excluding words which themselves exclude humans leads to the inclusion of those no longer excluded humans. It isn't difficult.
Alcohol need not be tasted to be "experienced".
I’d like to know more about the input UX. Does it do any prediction? Is it a variant of T9?

Touch screens are also low fidelity input devices. The lessons learned on streamlining BCI inputs could have wider applications. Like building a web app over dialup.
In my city in Canada I noticed a lot of kids playing outside last summer. However, they were all East African or Arabs: I assume refugees from Eritrea and Syria. They were doing the stuff I did (playing with sticks, climbing the sand piles, widening the fence holes) and stuff I didn’t (parking lot soccer).

I’ve started seeing more white kids out in my neighborhood this spring though, maybe things are going back?
That's generous. I see differences, I don't see more/less or any tendencies between German and English. I see some areas where inefficiencies are introduced in German, I see some areas where more information information is conveyed. Somewhat curious about this topic of more data per second, by language, so anything that reduces the anecdotes in favor of a study would be welcome!
The pain is justified. Social media can be a cruel and hypercompetitive place. Maybe you need better advertising?
Good luck. My family emigrated to US from Turkey in the 90s. Back then, the inflation was over a hundred percent. It costs millions of liras to buy a dollar. Now the history is repeating itself. The value of lira is tanking and inflation is running amuck. The people governing the country have changed, but the systemic rot is still there.
> The Democrats never should have tried to govern that way. They should have been coalition building, trying to find some common ground where they could do some things.

> So why did they take the approach they took?

The Republicans set that precedent (trying to govern like they had a large majority). I don't mean that as a "the other side does it too", just that each side has become increasingly vindictive of the other, making it much more difficult to work together when doing so is necessary to get anything done at all. We will continue to see power swaps with the winning side spinning its wheels while shutting the other side out.

Yeah, I see these rebrands in Netflix Israel too. Snowpiercer is a "Netflix Original" despite being a TNT show. Then there's "DC's Titans" (DC/HBO Max), "Crashing" & "Derry Girls" (Channel 4), "Champions" (NBC cancelled show), etc.
It isn't though. A typical developer will never care about 0.1% of unnecessary CPU usage in their application, but at Google, depending on what component it's in, that can easily be a million dollar find.

An interesting takeaway here is that custom comparators are really hard to write correctly. There are a lot of constraints that aren’t obvious.

I suspect there should be a new std::verify_weak_ordering to help people write tests that perform n^3 tests on potential data to ensure a comparator is safe to use.

More than likely, if it's like the other large corps that I've worked for, it was more like "hey, I get $500 for everything I patent. I'm patenting this."

I used to work with someone who had a nicely decked out Harley that was paid for from all his patent royalties in one year.
I wonder why he did not consider working remotely. Getting a low end European or even American developer salary while living in Turkey should be pretty kushy. You can also live in the mediterranean away from that poorly built mass housing he described.

- It's not 2008. Plenty of great looking PCs these days. My Xiaomi Mi Air 12 was IMO a better looking MacBook, clean and free of branding.

- Pretty much every modern Windows trackpad has two finger scrolling that works fine.

- You can also get mice with free scrolling wheels like the Logitech MX Master line that switch between free spinning and ratcheted. Sometimes ratcheted scrolling is better particularly for gaming or if you only want to scroll a small amount.

- Wifi works on my Linux laptops too. Sleep too. Just don't buy crap that doesn't work with Linux.

- Maybe there is an Apple store 2 hours away. Maybe there's one 5 hours away. Or a an hour flight away. Maybe 2 hours is still too far away for you so you're stuck mailing the stupid thing while your friend gets the Dell tech show up at his house.

- Just get the size you want and spend considerably more. Want a 16" laptop? Just spend $1500 more.

- Try explaining to your tech illiterate friend why their 13" M1 MBP only works with 1 monitor while their old 13" Intel MBP worked with two.

- At least you can use your favorite WM on Linux?
It's unclear that any of those are true if you need to maintain a distributed build system.
Have you not noticed the rabid Linux fan base on HN?

It seems like every discussion about Macs or macOS has at least 2-3 comments about how someone had used macOS for years, then got sick of apples (intel) hardware or lack of software customizability and switched to a Linux machine running Debian/Fedora/Ubuntu/Manjaro and they are never looking back (except for commenting on every Mac related post on HN).

The only reason we don’t see many Windows fanatics on here is because the user base is more dev focused here and most people prefer *NIX based machines. If this was a gaming focused forum, you would see a lot more Windows fanaticism.
Congratulations. I too recently finished a first draft of my third book in a series. Current word count is 56,000, 90k is quite the achievement. Tons of extras/descriptions/flavour still to be added to mine.

>As my husband said, “Some people just dream about writing a book, but you actually did it.”

The key is to get it down. Dont edit, dont try to be clever, just get er down.

>At the same time, I was very determined to finish the novel in three months. I told myself that if I could do it, then I would spend a month (or a minimum of two weeks) not looking at my book draft after I completed it.

It's not so much about the time. Write everyday and try to throw an average 1500 words/day. Even at 90k you will achieve this in 2 months. Then you take the next month fixing the utter mess that's left over.

>As much as I fantasize (and even made a goal) of having a draft ready for an agent’s critiques, I realize I may have more years to go.

I get this. I've written 3 books now but I'm afraid of anyone reading them.

My latest book idea is interesting and I'm writing for myself.

Some time in the future we will have brain computer interfaces for gorillas. Who then achieve awakening and join earth society. The main character is a Gorilla who joined the space force as an officer. There's ongoing discrimination against Gorillas and they reverse apeism give him command of a spaceship. Yet the character is a top leader following marcus aurelius and dale carnegie with a religiousness there. From there it's basically an adventure of everything going wrong right up to the end. Space battle, cruise missiles to strike a human colony in jupiter orbit. Etc.
Your argument only makes sense if 1) you take it as a given that nuclear can't help get us reach our goals sooner. And 2) that storage is a solved problem at the highest possible scales needed for this. #2 is highly debatable, and #1 relies on #2.

There are certainly promising options emerging in the area of storage, but I don't think it's a solved problem, especially at the scale necessary here. If I had your confidence about storage then I would agree with you completely, but I don't, and it doesn't seem like there's any consensus that storage is a solved problem. Quite the opposite: the consensus seems to be that we're not ready yet. As such, investments in that area are also potentially places where capital expended might produce nothing for an unknown number of years, maybe forever. CAES is often cited as a storage mechanism but nothing has been built at utility scale and multiple projects that have tried have fallen apart before getting there.

This is an extreme crisis situation where no single option has a guaranteed outcome. Pursue multiple in parallel. Heck, if we'd done that two decades ago-- massively build out nuclear while massively investing in renewables-- the issue wouldn't be nearly as critical.
I recently made the transition from academia to industry (also a PhD holder). I would echo a lot of what other commenters said about learning python and the associated data science tooling. Coming from an R heavy scientific discipline (quantitative ecology), I found python to be quite a bit better at things that base R struggled with, particularly string manipulations.

Aside from programmatic and cloud tools as identified in your post, one of the biggest hurdles is whittling down your academic CV into a resume. Spending time re-framing your academic accomplishments in the short form will be the best time investment for getting in for interviews. I ended up following the google XYZ resume formula: https://www.inc.com/bill-murphy-jr/google-recruiters-say-the... It kind of hurts to distill your academic achievements into "Published [X] peer reviewed papers [Y] by driving the analysis [Z]", but I think it really helped me start getting calls vs. desk rejects. Relatedly, only include publications that either highlight your expertise for a specific job posting or if they further highlight your expertise in statistics in a way that could set you apart from other candidates.
Fun fact: the distance from Istanbul to Munich is about the same as from Des Moines to New York.
I think this is an under appreciated point. Something I find striking in watching historical footage of urban areas is just how empty the roads were. Just the other day I was watching some restored footage of Paris in the 1920s, and they drove the camera car through famous areas that today would be a near parking lot most of the day, but back then were wide open.

If you look at car centric infrastructure through this lens, it's easier to understand how it all went so wrong. The American dream as designed in say the 1950s was quite pleasant if you could afford it. A nice modern house on clean brand new wide open roads. Sure you have to drive everywhere vs walk to the neighborhood main street for errands but gas is cheap and those roads make it all so fast and convenient.

Of course the problem is non of this scaled, but that didn't stop us from trying, and ending up with the worst of both in many ways.

It's just like any other language, except without spaces. Czech language can do exactly the same, but we usually use the space - looks nicer.

For example, the longest Czech word: Nejnezdevětadevadesáteroznásobovávatelnějšími = [do something] by those most not multipliable by 99.
It's explained with https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R/K_selection_theory - people have fewer kids now, and are more careful with each.

You can get mortgages without a downpayment. You'll often end up with higher interest payments though (IIRC PIM goes away once you have ~20% equity). That said you could ask students to take a gap year to have money for a downpayment (not everybody in my class was in my generation).

Proof of income would require them to have a job which I think a lot of students do (albeit work-study pays less than tuition costs). But is it really too much to ask a loan issuer to do the math on if a student can reliable pay the loan back?

Reclaiming an asset is harder though but its an unsecured loan so by definition there isn't any asset to reclaim.

> What's going to happen is loans will require cosigners and poorer students will be cut off from access to higher education unless they can get scholarships.

If the goal is for everybody (or more people) to get an education then it should just be subsidized in a normal fashion. No need to trap people in decades+ of debt.
That said, I would suspect you'd see more people getting bachelor degrees subsidized by their jobs instead of just the masters. Which is what the article is really about, a bunch of government employees are having their DOE loans forgiven as the former students have met their end of the agreement.
WebRender is certainly "GPU related" and is shipping to millions of happy Firefox users.

And yes, LLVM is written in C++. So what? C++ compilers depend on C code in libc. Portions of libc are written in assembler. Some assembly instructions are decomposed into microcode. Yet nobody doubts that C++ has eclipsed assembly language in terms of importance to the industry nowadays. We'll always need a way for humans to read the actual instructions that the silicon interprets, but relatively few people need to be able to do that nowadays. That dynamic is what the parent post means by one language "eclipsing" another.
If you can build/run code in a linux environment:

wsl2 gives you linux vm running in hyper-v alongside windows.. the vm pretty much has direct hardware access and is fast. From here, you can install linux based git, rsync, etc ... and the vm has full access to the windows filesystem.

vscode has a nice wsl extension which runs in client/server mode with server living in the linux vm and client on windows.

wsltty is closest feeling simple terminal, with translucency, etc.

... with this setup, i got rid of cygwin, vagrant, virtualbox, etc.

You have all of the recording done to a paper tape that the user can inspect as their vote is made. That paper tape is read by machine later. That means you only need to trust the counting machine, which is pretty easy because you can easily do random samples to check it is working, or have both parties count or whatever.

You can't eliminate the possibility that your paper vote is completely discarded and replaced by fake ones. But that's not really any different to existing non-electronic voting.

There is no scientific evidence to support your suspicion. There will never be any such thing as "universal" N95 masks. Many people are infected in private homes where obviously no one is going to wear masks. Everyone is doing to be exposed occasionally, just like with the other endemic human coronaviruses such as HCoV-OC43. It's time to accept reality and move on. Fortunately the vaccines and other treatments are fairly effective.
