> Very rarely do you get that level of control even on modern systems.

Windows, macOS, Linux all offer this control.

AudioWorklet does not offer much control of thread priority (read the source code of any DAW to see how much is actually done), and also isn't clearly appropriate for parallelization of DAW processing, which is a standard architecture in any current DAW.

It's not really about asm programming. It's about the ability with the host OS in all the appropriate and required ways. Browsers are extremely unlikely to permit this, for a variety of very sensible reasons.

Yesterday my home DNS weren't resolving and noticed on PiHole that there were >30,000 requests of *.in-addr.arpa (Reverse DNS Lookup) from the iPhone+iPad of the guest to whom I gave the WiFi access and was saturating the Pi's CPU. I re-enabled rate limiting on PiHole and blocked the request with a filter.

A cursory search on the issue says Bonjour is the culprit, I'm forwarding DNS requests to my PiHole instances on my gateway and latest iOS doesn't seem to like it; I haven't faced such issue earlier and I have this setup for several years now.
Every compiler must support include guards, but only the ones that choose to support pragma once. It should be obvious, between the two, which the more stable option.

> Most if not all of these people can't liquidate even close to their "net worth"

I think that's broadly true, though some of the older ones might be able to. Bill Gates, for example, has diversified his wealth out of Microsoft (and he doesn't control the company these days, anyway). I don't think the market would punish Berk or AutoNation, for example, nearly as hard as they've punished Tesla for Elon cutting his ownership stake.
But it requires changing the virtual memory mapping tables, i.e. it requires a context switch to the kernel and back. Therefore it decreases effectiveness of TLAB caches. I.e. there is a performance cost. One that is hard to quantify for very short lived threads and only slightly better quantifiable for longer lived threads.

And every argument that OS threads are good enough is in stark contrast to the length to which people go to avoid using them. I am talking about all the async libraries/patterns/language features people use to avoid using OS-level threads.
Elon Musk did this recent keynote for the FT.
"Future of the Car: Elon Musk Keynote Interview" https://youtu.be/VfyrQVhfGZc

Said he will have full FSD in the next 6 months: https://youtu.be/VfyrQVhfGZc?t=3107

Will be landing uncrewed Starship on Mars in 3 to 5 years: https://youtu.be/VfyrQVhfGZc?t=2444

Most ironic of all is the talk about Tunnels: https://youtu.be/VfyrQVhfGZc?t=4000

It was a shame that the FT, with a London based journalist, forgot to ask the question if he has ever heard about this Sci-Fi tunnel transport system called the London Metro :-)
This is a pretty good observation IMO. I've always wondered why his timelines are so ridiculous. It jives with what you said because maybe he looks at current state and can follow it to the end state but misses the unknowns in-between. The devil is always in the details. But i would expect that of someone relatively new to the job of GettingThingsDone and Musk has been doing this for a long time. I can't get my head around why his timelines are so outside the realm of reality. Any date he gives i just mentally ignore because it's wildly unreliable.
> Zero initialization is a pretty fundamental concept in Go.

I don't get it. There's nothing particularly special about it other than it being an explicit choice (I suspect Go's developers were lazy and did whatever was easier to implement). If, instead of automatically initializing to zero, the compiler said "error: uninitialized struct field", we wouldn't be having this conversation, and we wouldn't have this class of bugs. I would consider it "fundamental" if there was an obvious benefit from this choice, but I think a more appropriate word is "arbitrary".

> In most cases you can arrange to make the zero value valid.

Valid doesn't mean correct. Corrupting the DB with zero-initialized data can be worse than crashing early due to an unitialized (nil) pointer.

> If the author’s real complaint is with zero initialization then it would be a lot easier to understand their point if they made this explicit.

They did, it's mentioned in several places. E.g.:

---

Go fails to prevent many other classes of errors: it makes it easy to accidentally copy a mutex, rendering it completely ineffective, or leaving struct fields uninitialized (or rather, initialized to their zero value), resulting in countless logic errors.

---

> Apart from that you’re just complaining about having to make a package, but that’s really simple.

In order to prohibit direct struct initialization (which can be a source of unintended bugs) and enforce using the constructors, two types "related" to each other would have to live in different packages. E.g., if a type A's method constructs a type B, you'd segregate them and keep only the constructors public.
In the context of a medium-sized project, you will end up with MANY packages. Sure, it's simple to create packages, but it can becomes painful to manage once you need to understand the code. So at the end of the day, people don't do it and instead elect to be "more careful", which isn't a good method of preventing bugs.

It's not really similar to ladder logic but in those days it did the same thing, controlled machines. In ladder logic all of the rungs of the ladder are evaluated all of the time but with flowcharts only the necessary part of each flowchart is executed as the machine cycles.
That's like saying a 1930 Ford Model A is not that different from a 1930 Cadillac. That doesn't mean that Ford didn't change the automobile industry in a historic way before 1930.
Surprised that people know so much about Musk and claim they don’t like him. I can see nerding out on your hero or whatever, but to be motivated to research his personal upbringing out of disdain for the man strikes me as a bit unhinged. As someone who is 60/40 pro musk it’s bizarre the emotions he triggers in certain types of people. If we could somehow harness that energy…
> But their messaging goes through layers of lawyers and PR agencies and is carefully curated to fool you and you don't even know you're being fooled.

The petroleum industry, the cement industry provides me quality of life. They don't need to fool me. I want those things.

You don't need PR to sell oil. Energy density speaks for itself. Likewise with cement.
That task is taken over by browser JIT engines, hence I still don't get why Graal should be generating WASM bytecodes to start with.

Naturally consuming them as yet another WASM runtime makes sense, but that isn't what OP was asking about.

Nope. The income taxes are distributed in a fixed ratio, 15% goes to the municipality/county, and 42.5% each to the state and the federal budget.
Wasn't there a joke about a "Zebra crossing" that didn't translate?

"Oh, that was easy," says Man, and for an encore goes on to prove that black is white and gets himself killed on the next zebra crossing.”

Apparently that got changed from "zebra" to "pedestrian" which entirely loses the black/white joke.
> Then the goal posts shift to how much more money the Musk family had than the average family, which is true enough.

There's hardly a move of goalpost here. People merely argue that showing Elon as self-made "in parent's garage" is bullshit. He had family with capabilities to enable him to participate in ecoms bubble.

This kind of bureaucracy is why our business is registered out of Germany, haha.

Edit: I’m not vouching for anyone not following the law. But I do think the rules are much easier to understand and follow in other EU countries.
Not sure if this has anything to do with currencies. The rule in question applies to any sale of an asset in the private domain (“Privatverkauf”). It is the same rule that would apply to reselling a house or a car or a washing machine. This is in contrast to capital gains, which are being taxed according to different rules, and where there is no such 1-year deadline. Capital gains are profits from the selling of stock, and also interest on money in your bank account. So essentially, the way the rules are being applied to cryptocurrency is simply telling us that cryptocurrency isn’t being recognized as any special form of capital, and is instead treated no different than a washing machine or a coin collection.

Pretty sure HN would be upset if an Executive Order related to tech was put out there without input from any tech people, no? Isn't that the original intent of lobbyists and expert opinion? Or is the complaint here about it the COVID-19 part? Or is it just "Trump did it so it's bad"?
His bad decision (to migrate to Windows) at PayPal caused an engineering mutiny and led to the board firing him as CEO. So I think he has always been stubborn and impulsive.

What do you mean by call/result logging?

Just seeing calls with arguments and return values in some sort of log[file]. I like to see the traffic between ends while debugging. Libraries usually provide a logger callback in initial options, like this:

new Foo({
…,
log: (level, …values) => {…}
})

I think the last time I browsed Gravity manual, it had some sort of “beforeCall” event where it’s possible to log without a special callback.

This is a bizarre view. Even if you go 100% reactionary and treat every 2020 protest as a "riot," the entire year pales in comparison to a single riot in a single neighborhood during the 1960s[1]. Our modern protests (including the "violent" ones) are downright bucolic.

[1]: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Watts_riots
You know, this was my first reaction. I'm a civil engineer. I met a big-wig from AECOM (one of the largest engineering contractors in the county) at a conference and we sat for dinner and I asked him, why not move the people?

He said it would be easier to build the pipes and the pumps than it would be to rebuild the other infrastructure, homes, offices, restaurants, and social systems those people would need after you moved them. (specifically I asked about Las Vegas, and a plan to import water from other parts of Nevada).

My take-away was that "sustainability" isn't a factor in these decisions. If you want to set up yourself for a sustainable future, you have to vote with your feet. Nobody will can make that decision for you.

Climate change is going to have a lot of negative effects on some parts of the globe. But there will also be a lot of opportunities, and other regions will prosper as their climates become more hospitable or productive. The challenge is trying to anticipate those changes and making responsible decisions.
Think he's point was that GUI products in this space is extremely difficult to get it right due to the explosion of edge cases and general complexity.

There have been other React IDEs in the past, and they've faded off into obscurity because of factors I am not familiar with but one in which parent's comment is alluding to, the hidden rise of technical debt for last mile problems and custom requirements.

Think we are dealing really with RAD vs traditional waterfall coding approaches. Both have ups and downs but the big drawdown is the stockholm syndrome effect that comes with relying on some other party for RAD.
In most places, there isn't one. In the few where there is, it's very recently created, and sits at 18.
None of these are genital related as you were implying above. In fact, kids were getting breast reductions, implants, and mastectomies back in 1990 totally unrelated to gender affirming care. What is horrific about a mastectomy? Also, your sources are terrible aside from JAMA which SUPPORTS the practice.

> In this cohort study, chest dysphoria was significantly higher in the nonsurgical vs postsurgical cohort. Among the nonsurgical cohort, 94% perceived chest surgery as very important; among the postsurgical cohort, serious complications were rare, and 67 of 68 reported an absence of regret.

> Self-reported regret was near 0.
> your personal income-tax rate got applied. Which is most likely 45% if you work in any tech-related position.

The 45% bracket starts at 277.826 € in 2022. That is definitely not the kind of money people in a "tech-related position" in Germany routinely earn.
Besides that, Elon didn't inherit that wealth. He moved to Canada with little money, worked blue collar jobs and had student debt. That's what he started with. At Zip2 he couldn't afford a second computer.

People WANT to believe a mythology that Elon started off rich to feel better about not accomplishing anything with their own equally or more privileged life. People that started with little themselves don't have this level of cognitive dissonance and see it more as an immigrant success story and inspiration.
If you ever want more performance, I suggest trying PlatformIO and C++. It will set up the toolchain for you and do board initialization, and then you can use the Arduino API. The package manager is more reasonable than Arduino.

It is no more a destruction of history than to intentionally make it different than it was. It isnt ideal to need to repair it, but the more we can preserve the effect on our senses (sight) of the original the better.

If you fundamentally alter the way it looks, it is no longer a historical reference. It is something new, albeit with an interesting history / story.

If you redesign it, you should also rename it.

When something is repaired to the best of our ability, the future can look back on it and understand the context that we were trying to make it as it was - and all the hallmarks of this era will be identifiable as the minimum amount.

If we redesign it, we make it more about us and our current time. the future will likely be able to redesign it better, so it's just going to look like an ugly patch that is way too extra.

If we prefer to make the building about us and our current time, we should just destroy the entire thing and rebuild it from scratch as a full redesign.
I actually went to look at homes near Shasta. The lake is absolutely disgusting, so to say "we don't know how to protect it" is more like, "we don't know how to save it".

The reality is, we might not be able to. California has already redirected numerous water ways to the state, and we shouldn't add another. Sacrificing another states economy and ecology to save this state should never have been in the cards.

I took summer workshops at the North Bennet Street School in Boston. It's in the North End, right down the street from the "One if by Land, Two if by Sea" church. The workshops were fantastic, I would recommend them in a heartbeat: https://nbss.edu/

I took a bunch of them, over I think 2 summers. An intro one, one on leather binding, one on miniatures, one on Japanese binding. This was ~20 years ago, though.

It was a very rewarding activity, it feels really good to make your own books. You get to work with your hands, what you make is cool, and it's all beautiful. I'm incredibly glad I did them.
I was under that impression as well. If they write out all attributes, what is really the remaining difference to a traditional immediate more renderer? Nvidia reportedly has vertex attributes going through memory for many generations already (and they are at least partially tiled...).

I suppose the difference is whether the render target lives in the "SM" and is explicitly loaded and flushed (by a shader, no less!) or whether it lives in a separate hardware block that acts as a cache.

I cannot see why anyone would prefer this for a bicycle that is at all shaped like a normal bike. An integrated mid-drive ebike is just all around much more efficient.

Direct hub motors for large (bike size) diameter wheels frankly suck at this point in time. You need to have much more copper to efficiently drive the motor at the power levels required, because RPM is so much lower with hub motors. Not being able to use RPM to your advantage is such a huge efficiency hog at low speed acceleration, which is a lot of how people use ebikes.

If this is using an internally geared hub, my point is moot; however that comes with it's own drawbacks. It's incredibly hard to get heat out of a geared hub motor efficiently. Your motor is encased inside the hub, with no direct connection for heat to escape, and you generally have way less copper available to heat soak.

Mid drives get the advantage of mechanical gearing, and can be built in such a way to allow very little heat generation to begin with, but you also can easily cool something in the frame compared to a spinning hub.
Yeah, he had to pay an 11 BILLION dollar tax bill to California and the IRS, for stock options issued in 2012. It was reported as the largest federal tax bill in history.

Yep. My fear at this point is that even with large scale disaster, we won’t respond with sufficient scale to avoid large scale suffering. We’re not responding for climate change. We’re not responding for student debt. We’re quick to respond with $40B for war, but what can we do for the every day people? I’m just not seeing much.
True, but that comes at the expense of local farmers in places like, say, Ohio where it's not economical to grow strawberries because California has so much sun and can grow them better - the whole proposition rests on cheap energy and water. If California farmers paid more in costs it's likely that other regions with perfectly fine growing climates could just restart production and then we'd solve a love of problems. California growing all of these fruits and vegetables is basically "the suburbs" in a nutshell.
I see this cited all the time like the bible. Keep in mind, the internet and the earth by and large is itself a community, and its not moderated nor defended except in places like north korea or china.

Besides those places that are "defending themselves" the community is very healthy.

I have this speculative theory that Elon Musk's public behavior is a complex long term ruse. I suspect his odd behavior is intentionally designed to get other to underestimate him. Consider it a mental form of the drunken fist martial arts style [1], where a fighter will use unpredictable body movements to confuse the opponent.

I use the word "theory" intentionally. I have explainable reasons for how I formed this theory. But now is not the place for that.

Note that as far as I know this only applies to private buying and selling, if that is the case people which frequently buy and sell crypto also have to be careful that their doing is not classified as commercial.

E.g. there are similar rules for privately selling art (through it's I thing noticeable longer then 1y) and there had been cases where people where not careful enough and it was classified as commercial activity.
e.g. if you knew one or two sign languages, wouldn't you list it under languages? What if the job involves in-person communication with masses of people?

Is it because hardware doesn't scale as well as software? For embedded development, you need some kind of hardware that needs to be sold. A computer or a phone is something everyone already has. An embedded microcontroller? Not so much.
We totally should have spent more trillions on that.
I'm assuming it was suggested to replace a chain by what is essentially a dynamo + motor.

You pedal to generate energy, and move that energy to the wheel through wire and another motor. (I'm not saying this is a good idea, just describing what I understood).

Once we actually make it sustainable maybe then we can evaluate the success of the project, imo.
