All of the commercially available RISC-V processors I'm aware of are microcontrollers -- they're competing with ARM Cortex-M. They're still a ways off from anything that can compete with ARM Cortex-A application processors or Intel/AMD desktop/laptop CPUs.
> if lawyers were in charge and rampaged around suing the shit out of every company that made a mistake when using Linux, that would better suit Linus's goals?

No. But if they went around sending demand letters that were complied with (because they came from a reputable law firm) by getting the code open sourced it would. I'm not saying these lawyers should be listened to. I'm saying some lawyers should. And excluding all lawyers is as dumb as trying to get funded for your FaceBook clone saying you only need the money to "hire a programmer" would be.

> Only Linus can speak to Linus's goals

This is nonsense. I might be wrong but I can certainly speak to his goals. We can even discuss what we think they are.

I'd think any natural language model would have the same biases we see from real humans.
No, you get assigned something based on a convention. It used to be possible to get an alias for email.
A fossil fuel plant will burn fuel to produce heat. Some of this heat will be used for generation, and the remainder is waste heat. A solar panel or wind turbine, on the other hand, does not produce significant amounts of heat in operation - a PV solar panel would only get somewhat warm, a wind turbine would only achieve some friction heating - to where it is not economical to harness this relatively small amount of energy (compared to waste heat from an exothermic generation process, like nuclear fission or hydrocarbon combustion)
I try and make my workstation... I guess you'd say "stateless"?

- Nothing important stored "on" the machine itself, I put it in one or more cloud storage options, git, password manager etc. Important documents like photos and legal stuff I keep in two cloud storage services + REALLY important stuff gets burned onto a DVD or BluRay that I lock up somewhere.

- I have a.... rather long "sudo apt install blah" script that has every package I've needed or wanted to install. Every time I install something new I just add another entry to that script. Although I have to say, this is looking a bit ridiculous now at 160+ lines most of which are just individual packages.

- I have another script to clone in my dot file/config file repo and move all of those into position.

- I don't have anything to setup my user account, but that's only a 5 second job so it's probably not worth the time.

I generally find actual backups are more hassle than they're worth for this kind of thing. The old fashioned sysadmin in me knows that no backup actually exists until you test it - and I really don't feel like testing my own backups all the time.

I also interviewed at knight a few weeks before everything blew up, didn’t go well, interviewer was one of those guys who finally got to hire someone and figured now it’s his turn to be a jerk. Really smug and arrogant. When I heard how badly things had gone it did bring a smile to my face knowing somewhere that guy was having a Sunday dinner sized serving of humble pie.
Active listening is a key component in conflict resolution. Counter to popular opinion, active listening is not patiently keeping your mouth shut and trying to make the other think you are paying attention. Key word is active and it means asking clarifying questions and humbly testing your understanding of what they are saying.

Exercised as such, I find it is "best reserved" for just about every conversation you have.
Yes! I'm very grateful and thankful for the opportunity that I have got from HN.

I was nor I'm the best position in my life when the job offer came. The opportunity boosted my confidence really turned my life around.
Ask HN: What are some things that you have built for your own personal tooling?
I'm currently on that stage of my career where I'm thinking of investing time in automating some of the tasks that I perform frequently during my day job or otherwise. That could be from setting up a fresh laptop to my preference to fetching/opening source in Bitbucket/Github from command line, to recurring shell commands that I execute for work.

Interested to know what tools/software you've built for your own productivity and your tools of choice?
And he's good friends with much of Offline TV, a chunk of their extended circle are accomplished cubers (Edison and Leslie being the standouts)
Both. GUI interfaces and apps have menus and undo that help with discoverability. To do something equivalent in CLI after not using a tool requires several invocations of man, --help, etc., and checking and rechecking that you hadn't got something wrong that can result in something catastrophic. Stuff like Warp seems like they with that, by interactively displaying most relevant info to help you write the right invocations.
Yes. And I want world peace. The question was not "what do these people want" but "who does what to make it happen".
Another direct attack against the FSF, whow.
Ask HN: Moving for a tech job? From what city and where are you going?
Solar panels are super thermally inefficient generally speaking, collecting about 20% of the energy that hits the panel. They are dark, and this leaves a lot of heat available for the gathering. You can get solar systems that heat water as well, especially in rooftop solar. This also cools the panels down and makes them more efficient. Not much, but measurably. Something like this. [1]

Of course, in the winter in Canada, you have to bleed the system otherwise the water will freeze in the tubes and they'll burst.

There's no free heat from a wind turbine.

When we were using redshift I built a python script/cli tool to query redshift and export JSON. That’s the only thing that comes to mind of late.
Having direct involvement in the wind industry... most plan -> completion developments take 5-10 years. heck even one from 2013 still hasnt had ground broken.

The main reason? NIMBYs. Loads of people go out to the countryside to retire. imagine what these retires would do if their picturesque landscape is now comprised of windfarms? and they dont have anything else to do to fill up their day?
Well, I'm originally from Ohio by way of western Pennsylvania. And I'll never go back. I took my wife out to the Outer Banks one year, in North Carolina, to spend time with my family, during their annual pilgrimage to OBX, and we were riding bikes (to get fresh boiled shrimp) and a large truck tried to run us off the road while shouting some racist shit in our general direction. I'm white, she's not.

I lived in the south, primarily in Texas and Georgia, but I spent a lot of time in Tennessee and Alabama and Louisiana, too, and I'll pass, pass, pass, pass, and pass on all of those places, too.

So, out of the 9 states in this country that I've personally spent significant time in, in many cases living in these states for years of my life: California is the only one I'm willing to put down roots in because I have a minority wife.

Baltimore is a low standard but you could trip over the fucking bar in this country.
I’m thankful they’re offering anything at all openly. Is it such a big deal a gigantic download is hidden behind a request form?
Do you think muggles actually care about this? I tend to doubt it but I am asking with an open mind.

5kloc of assembly code, which roughly correspond to opcodes. That's quite small.

It's actually 4399 loc, including blank lines and a significant number of comment lines.

Quite impressive.

There are JSON parsers that require way more code just to handle the basics of parsing.

> I'm willing to bet that even the most conservative poster on this site would not be against gay marriage.

There is an HN poster who is well known for losing his position as a CEO for failure to deal with the PR backlash over his opposition to gay marriage, and others have argued against it on either direct religious grounds or on grounds like the need for marriage to be associated with the production of children.

So, you’d lose that bet.
Parenting styles differ, yours isn't one of discipline.

If I hadn't had discipline at that age, I'd be hopelessly undisciplined now (in hindsight, I reckon my parents probably should have disciplined me even more than they did). Taking away my favorite things when I misbehaved worked wonders for me - I then did what I was told.

"But never, never, never willfully hurt them by throwing away their favorite candy. So wrong on so many levels"

Why, what are those levels? Discipline works by first explaining the rules and the reason for them then enforcing the rules with rewards and sanctions. It works for kids, it's the same for army recruits - in fact everyone.

Mollycoddling kids who then never have a day of remorse throughout childhood deprives them of resilience later on in life. Resilience is so important that not instilling it into kids early on in life is of itself abuse.

There's a huge difference between disciplining kids and willfully hurting them. In the above scanario the candy is thrown away but the parent has a choice of whether he or she is administrating discipline or undue cruelty.

It's how one goes about it that matters.

If anything, a more streamlined frontend matters more at the high-end, because it enables more scalable decode letting you extract increased parallelism out of the code. Better use of your frontend complexity budget also makes it easier to use things like fused microinsn sequences, or the RISC-V compressed insn set which brings code density on par with x86 (an outstanding result for such a clean design) for both RV32 and RV64. This is pretty much what we see going from x86 to ARM, and RISC-V only goes further in the same direction.
Just a reminder that “steam” does not directly imply any specific temperature threshold as it is a function of relative pressure. Pumped into a (near) vacuum, warm water will turn to “steam.” (Cost of pulling a vacuum not considered.)
Earth return is really what we should be banning. It causes small amounts of metal corrosion across areas hundreds of miles wide, destroying other infrastructure like bridges. It probably also is bad for the environment, but evidence for that is weak so far.

Standard IANAL, but I have to deal with copyright issues sometimes.

Yes, they would only have standing to sue based on those lines and any lines based on them as a derivative work. I'd imagine that if they showed they were good custodians of suing people (making it easy to get back in compliance as opposed to trying to milk people of money) they could get people to join them on a case-by-case basis.

Even without that, they don't have to prove the value of the code that was used. You can sue for copyright infringement based on a standard damage instead, which is assumed to be 10k-250k per violation.
As I mentioned - silicon straws are also available which are far safer than the plastic ones.

Hear me out before you shred...

A big part of Russia's game has been to try to divide the US politically. Well, this is probably the single biggest hand grenade they could have thrown into the middle of our society. And it's at a time when they'd really love to distract us from what they're doing in Ukraine.

So they have motive. It fits their MO. Do they have the means to breach the Supreme Court? Probably.

Does that mean that they definitely did it? No. It's just an idea - a pattern that seems to fit.

Shred away...

One of my acquaintances who's a lawyer says in particular certain personal rights to privacy/autonomy that Griswold is built around is a target of the federalist society for a variety of reasons, some of which are business related. Can't remember the details but if you combine a wealth/profit-driven interest with a social conservatives christian patriarchy, the idea that Griswold is just safe because the court wouldn't go there looks pretty thin.

The courts are going to go for broke here, they've got a certain makeup that's been in the making for decades and McConnell's manipulations and Trump's victory got them across the finish line. They're not kidding around with power, they're going to use it.

EDIT: Downvoters, while we're all entitled to the use of that pointy disapproval button, if you think it's fundamentally incorrect to state that Obergfell or Griswold are going to be targeted by the court, you have no idea how thrilled I'd be to be persuaded you're correct. Please, make your case.
You're missing the point. It would deeply widen the already large gap between the upper and lower classes. And the worst part: it still wouldn't fix the problem. The really carbon expensive aspects of society come from industrialization. Fossil fuels are not "optional". Without them none of the global supply chains would function. VERY few would have electricity in their homes.

Building infrastructure would be insanely expensive to build with a carbon tax.
Any interest in moving to something different, but related so you can transfer some/all of your skillset?

I got really pissed both times Facebook leaked my phone and email. Imagine being HIV positive and having that leaked. God, I can't even imagine. And I assume, as usual, that there is no decent victim compensation or punishment for the perpetrators. Heck, they surely get to keep all the dirty money too.

The silver lining here is finally an argument for privacy that has very little risk of being shut down as "hypothetical", which is always a dead end for most low-key privacy debates.
More like a race to the bottom. If everyone else is e.g. using Bahamian tax shelters, and your company explicitly states that it won't do that, then your company's stock price will go down, because the market predicts that without those "table stakes", your company is not going to be competitive with all the companies who are willing to do that. (Whether that's true or not is irrelevant; it's only about whether the market believes it's true.)

I also thought we should've developed a nuclear waste industry here in South Australia. There was a 'citizen's jury' on the topic a while back but obviously public opinion swayed political action to rule it out.

We have a lot of "unused" and stable land well away from population centres.

I imagine transport from afar is an issue though.
I think the core of the issue comes down to viability. If a living thing needs to feed directly off of another living thing to survive, consuming their oxygen, nutrients, blood, etc. then it must be with the consent of the person being fed upon. Anything else is morally wrong. It's forcing someone to be host to another life against their will. To me that sets a pretty clear delineation that avoids the questions of whether or not that life has a heartbeat or a soul or its own thoughts. Until it can live without compromising its host those things don't matter.

I've always been very skeptical of the moral arguments from the pro-life crowd in general though, since I can't fathom a morality that says that every child conceived must be born, but after that event it's better for that child to die in the streets of exposure or sickness or hunger than for any tax money to be spent to help it grow up healthy housed and fed.

Plastics are packed with energy. There are already bacteria and fungi taking advantage of that energy source. I think we’ll soon see micro-plastics being “taken care of” by a new ecosystem.

The bacteria will spread like wildfire: the environment is lush with micro-plastics. Things will evolve from there. Perhaps in the future, natural bacterial gene transfers will create plastic-consuming termites.

I don't know how (or even if) that translates to a financial ROI for Meta.
