> Devices stopped being shipped with USB-A a long time ago now.

I interpreted this to mean the male side. Sure you can still buy laptops that accept USB-A, but I haven't seen any peripheral that still uses USB-A in a long time. I'm sure you could still buy a thumb drive with USB-A, but I wouldn't.
> Swift doesn't do this, if I understood what you meant properly.

I think Swift can take advantage of the fact that many values are purely stack allocated and don't touch the heap or ref counting system at all. It leans pretty heavily on structs and value types.

Other managed languages are more Java-esque in that basically every value is in principle heap allocated. In those, I think it's more valuable to defer ref counting stack references since there are many more of them and they tend to be frequently mutated.
For n=1 that might be true.
I can tell you've put real hard work into this, that's quite an achievement! You should be proud.

I do like the name and now it makes sense :)
Many tests are not 100% accurate, nor do they necessarily pinpoint the problem (often they just rule something out).

There's no magic doctor who would be a flawless diagnostician if he just had more time to spend with the patient and less interference by the insurance companies. And if he did spend hours and hours on your case, and run all the tests, that would be hours he's not spending helping other people and delays in other people's labwork.

Medicine is imperfect, and diagnosis is based in large part on probabilities. Doctors do what their education and experience tells the is most likely to help. Sometimes they are wrong, because people are different, and some doctors aren't as good as others. Sorry your chronic condition was misdiagnosed. It sucks. There's no magic answer.
State vs Federal laws, though. Totally different game. States are much more limited in their ability to pass laws that affect residents of other states.
I don't subscribe to Netflix because I'm not entertained by such things. That doesn't mean others don't have a need for low-cost narrative diversion.

The fact that you don't acutely feel the need for a trustless digital money is very telling of your position in the world. I would recommend you read the book "Check Your Financial Privilege", by Alex Gladstein. You will find that, as an absolute fact, the use case is in extremely dire need of solving, and Bitcoin is the solution.
Go ahead and demonstrate it.
All modern GPUs (Or at least both I've worked on professionally) have MMUs and some context privilege level (IE so contexts can't change the MMU state themselves to escape) in hardware. If that is busted all bets are off, similar to how if the CPU has issues in the same area.

The security model of the GPU itself doesn't really allow any level of security within the context - if you can write shader code (e.g. massage the glsl/hlsl into doing what you want, or just upload a binary shader of your own) you already can read anything mapped into that context. I think there's some systems that add stricter validation onto those shaders to disallow things like out-of-bounds reads, and that may have bugs that will cause issues if any security relies on that - e.g. for browsers when sourcing shaders from webgl, or anything where untrusted sources share the same context as possible private info. But that's built on top of the GPU driver's model itself, and provides a restricted model to it's clients. This would just be another thing they disallow.

This "Driver in the GPU" will just be code ran in that context already, so I don't see it as increasing the attack surface. It may be an issue if people start wanting finer grain permissions within a context, however.
No, because while the foundation could 'escape software patents' the software itself can't, an adverse patent-related USA court decision would then make that software illegal to distribute and use in USA which is probably not satisfactory to the Gnome foundation so they still would have to fight it in court.
Out of interest, where are liberals going after they quit Twitter? Is there an obvious alternative?
Perhaps the "polish" of the resume is a signal for "professionalism and attention to detail." But I worry that the professionalism of the resume is a signal mostly for wealth and social status, factors which should be ignored in the hiring process. So I think that unless the resume is atrociously formatted, its "polish" should be ignored.

I read an article on LinkedIn [1] touching on a similar issue. The ideal resume quality standard is "not a lesson that every school or household teaches equally" and giving undue consideration to it may be "creating unnecessary barriers to entry for certain groups."

However, I think your experience in the hiring process is valid and would be open to changing my mind.

As far as I know, it's very unusual in Netherland. I've certainly never included a photo on a CV (though I do have one on LinkedIn, where a lot of my work comes from). When I was part of the hiring process, I did notice that all Indian/TCS CVs I got to see had photos, though.
I have heard horror stories of people collecting their pets after being transported in the cargo hold of a commercial airliner, and discovering that they've gone deaf, probably because they were left out on the ramp for too long near a running jet engine by some careless worker.

I have a 50-pound dog and am just resigned to taking a road trip with him or leaving him with friends when I have to travel.

I wish at least one commercial airline would adopt a "pet-friendly" policy and just allow people to purchase an extra seat for their dog. My dog would be happy to take the middle seat between me and my girlfriend, would stay out of the way of others, and I'd pay a significant amount of money if this were an option.

In my part of the Bay, everyone is wearing masks everywhere. It's kinda bizarre.
Eh, I see a few photos on CVs here in the UK - typically on Euro candidates though (from memory).

On the other hand I've seen all sorts of weird shit on CVs, it is part of the fun. From the guy giving himself 5/5 stars for inter-personal skills, to the obscure hobbies expanded on in great detail, to the hilarious email addresses.

There is just a wide range of views on what a cv should contain. My views doubtless differ to others! I did give a yes to the guy with the .txt file cv though. On principle.
So a new discovery of Amdahl's Law?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amdahl%27s_law
The title is misleading RPI has lost patent claims on the "Rothschild '086", which is the one that they used to sue GNOME. But they still have the right to pursue other patent claims that they have in their portfolio.

People really don't have any passion for talking about your solution because they don't really care about you and you should take any discussion of solutions with a large grain of salt because customers are not PMs.

But people are passionate about talking about their problems and that's where you should orient your discussions on. Don't ask about your product at all during PM interviews, simply try to understand the problems users are facing and figure out what ways your product is or is not addressing those problems.

The biggest mistake I see PMs make is coming in with an over optimism bias and assuming that your product must be top of mind for all users when the reality is that the most often scenario you discover from user interviews is that the problem you're trying to solve is of relatively minor importance to most people.
How is that "small subset" not normalized across all companies, making an equal comparison? You can make a reasonable case that Blind reviews across all companies are worse than the average inside the companies, but it wouldn't explain why some companies are so much worse than others.
Sorry, I did misremember the exact timing - It was the people from Phase 3, but at the 6-month follow-up: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/34525277/ (see Figure 1, 15 dead in control group, 16 dead in vaccine group)

There was another report I remember seeing (but can't find now) that was about this same group that broke it down by cause of death. That one showed a reduction in covid deaths (I think it was like 2 or 3 covid vs 4 covid), with other causes more than making up the difference. But again with such low numbers it doesn't really prove anything, just that I think it's enough to raise questions and definitely doesn't warrant the "safe and effective" mantra.
You're definitely right there. I put together a build with this CPU and chose the most expensive part available (except GPU because chip shortage, case because there are $5000 ATX cases for no good reason, PSU because I just got the best Seasonic one, and SSD because there are $12k enterprise ones): https://pcpartpicker.com/list/DYxhk9

So that's $3500 without a GPU, buy a $500 used GPU on eBay and you're beating Apple. And, nobody buys $1000 motherboards, so that takes $500 off. You don't need a $300 case. Etc. Basically the point of the exercise is that you can max everything out, and get a faster computer for less money, which is what the comment was trying to say.

Someone will reply and say that your time sourcing and assembling the components isn't free, or that it doesn't run OS X, etc. I get it, you don't have to say that. Just adding an actual computer that's expensive as possible that you could have right now to compare to.
It's called Jsonnet and it definitely exists.
I need to build something similar for my job, so this already gave me couple of ideas. Thank you for sharing this! How did you aggregate all of this data? Did you fetch it from EDGAR? Or do you have a subscription to CapIQ or something?

I wouldn’t object, but I’m not European or North American. Even within Europe there was a variety of responses to covid.

Different places are different. We may all be addicted to the same smartphones, but globally the way different counties responded to covid differed wildly. Even painting the whole of the USA with the same brush feels a bit reductive.

This is just as true in the west as it is in the east.
I agree, build more - but given that we are not currently doing it, AirBnB is only making this situation worse.

The market doesn't care whether someone is buying a vacation home or buying the only home that lets them stay in the region. It is the responsibility of the state to put its thumb on the scale in favor of positive externalities that the market is agnostic between.
Apple doesn’t take the money until they ship it. People waiting on orders have not paid
As others have pointed out, even without photos on resumes, often times the first thing I do when looking at a candidate is go to their LinkedIn profile, which of course do feature headshots.
That is very true and a reason why an individual listening to music alone should bias towards a personal audio source to internal his sound externality. That is because there is virtually no additional benefit to the individual to play music loudly than to play it in headphones when it is just for his benefit.

But you are ignoring that a substantial percentage (if not majority) of music enjoyment situations are simultaneously social situations. Personal audio sources are objectively sub-optimal in that situation. Thus, there is a cost to those enjoying the music of using a personal audio source. Silent discos result in a total inability to talk to one another. If you are playing ambient music as you have conversations, then a personal audio source simply doesn't work.
Actually I think your comment better represents sloppy political thinking and is part of the reason as to why we have these problems.

You ignore the no cash bail, drug decriminalization, and lax policing policies which don't just increase problems from the homeless, but others as well. Progressive policies incentivize criminal behavior, period.

Most homeless people have mental illness or drug problems. They don't need cheaper housing or to be ignored and stepped over, they need mental illness programs and rehab programs.

End no cash bail, end decriminalization (making it legal is fine), enforce public decency (no needles in the park, no shitting/pissing in the streets, no flashing people).

These things weren't problems in Nashville before progressive policies and relaxed enforcement.

Homelessness existed before then, it's not caused by homelessness, it's caused by leftists.

Be an adult and enforce the existing rules or we can't live in a society.
This is a very nice project. I had the change to test it a few months ago using a raspberry pi and it was great to remember old times.
Children have far more success fending off all variants of Covid. It really is more like a flu for them. Nonetheless, some are still worried about them since some vaccines do give children less risk than catching the virus itself.

If you read HN, then I assume you read the science, so there is no reason to peddle fear about kids and Covid.

nah, email is okay, the protocol is fairly extendible. storage and processing capacity is cheap for it, even naive spam filters are pretty good and quarantine can take care of the rest.

what's missing is simply the coordination to force the big ones to stop fucking over the small players.

but since paying for 100k mails/month is less than 1 hour of how much one engineer's hour costs a lot of companies just don't care. there's no real incentive to fix this :/
You hit it pretty spot on. There's still a lot of management expected at those levels, it's just of an influential type instead of an authoritative type. Which is often even harder to wield effectively. You're still expected to go out and force-multiply, because the bottom line is a single person worth of productivity can only go so far.
Have worked at big SV companies where HR is forwarding the text paste of the resume with no corrected format. I would never tell someone not to make their resume look polished, but I have definitely seen people get lucrative jobs with a jumbled mess.

Of historical interest, this game was created by David Rosen, who started the Humble Bundle with his brother. I had no idea it was still in development. In the early days of the project it was pretty impressive to see the engine evolving under the work of a single teenage developer, including features like ragdoll physics which were novel at the time.

One thing to watch out for - is to look at continued growth of the line item - Goodwill and Intangibles on the balance sheet. Goodwill is when it pays well over book value to buy another company. Intangibles are hard to value assets like IP (a movie library, patents, etc.).

Excessive goodwill occurs when a legacy company can no longer organically grow earnings so it has to buy other companies (perhaps over paying) to show earnings growth.

Intangibles can make a debt laden balance sheet less negative if the value of "synergy and secret sauce" are over stated and never written down.

You can see GE's Goodwill and Intangibles peaked in 2017 when Jeffrey Immelt got replaced and John Flannery started to do the write-downs for which he was sacked. Larry Culp seems to be doing it more even handedly.

See the sibling comment.

TLDR: Actors each has their own queue. The orderings in each queue are independent. This can help with parallelization if it fits the shape of the problem.

I’m not surprised that the iPad has a decline. My son has a few year old 9.7” iPad and it works great still. Consume media very easily and even have games. I can notice the difference between it and my 2018 iPad Pro but I could see people are just not going buy new ones every year or two. I’d like the M1 iPad Pro but it’s not worth the jump in price.
Perhaps "Life, or X years, whichever comes last" would be an appropriate balance. We can, of course, still argue over what the value of X should be.

Yup, but it's also a heck of a lot cheaper, largely due to mechanization, automation, homogenization, and bureaucratization.

I'm out and about without wearing a mask because the numbers of deaths per day due to covid in my state has dropped down to single digit numbers and the number of current cases is currently 1/30 of where it was at it's peak. Should those numbers start going back up, I'll start taking more precautions. We have to start living life again where we are able to or a series of economic woes will become the new normal instead of a single correction due to the pandemic.

I'm really bored so I went through the Turo terms of service[1]. It seems they violated this term:

> When you book a vehicle on the Services, you must use the vehicle only for your personal use and not for any commercial purposes (e.g. driving other passengers for a fee such as through Uber or Lyft or delivering food or other packages) unless you have express written permission from the Turo Legal Department in advance or as otherwise described here.

Also in the prohibited uses list[2] (although they seem to have messed up their list indenting at that point):

> - Prohibited vehicle uses and activities include:

> [...]

> - Making any unapproved alterations, additions, or improvements to any vehicle

Perhaps I'm explaining it poorly, that's entirely possible. The frontier is where land value is zero, at the margin of production. It is possible to get value out of the land, but only with hard work. Currently this land may be held without using it for production, but it largely doesn't exist. This is because the lack of a land value tax incentivizes landholders to own all land for the purpose of speculation rather than production, even if it's economic rent value is low. With a land value tax, people who hold land purely for speculative sales prices would sell it because the sales price would drop to zero, therefore freeing up those pieces of land for families to move to and work upon. The frontier, the margin of production, where only hard work would make the land valuable, reopens and other land also becomes more mobile because there is a disincentive to holding land for speculative purposes, reducing the price of housing in general and contributing to housing liquidity.

Much of it is demand side. People are replacing their Macbooks from 2013 and up. It’s saying a lot about Intel mobile chips as well as the new M1 chips that basically redefined how Macbooks can be used which is to say you don’t need to be near a power plug.

On the contrary, accepting patches for inclusion in the commercial game means it's very much not dead...

It's also understandable people are shifting to using mainstream engines as a baseline. Not just because of the insane complexity involved in a modern AAA game, but skill transfer. If you work 14 years on a bespoke engine, your skills won't necessarily translate to your next job where you're using an entirely different platform.

True perhaps. But I did not raise a point of law. This is an ethical
chestnut that traces back to at least Plato. Perhaps unclear from my
wording I'm implying you know the buyer to be a killer, and so it
would be irresponsible to sell. Anyway, my suggested legal revision
doesn't rely on whether the seller knows or not, but on the buyers
legitimacy to hold the patent.

The initial conversation is an entirely false premise, that an infinitely large universe would have "anything that can happen, would happen." An infinitely large universe could be empty, and fit the bill, and there would be nothing like "there are infinite copies of myself that are slightly different than now." It's bad philosophy, not science.
