I appreciate that you included a short personal description of the tools along with the stars(Which is often missing from such lists).

P.S. I've added your list to my curated list of startup tools - https://startuptoolchain.com/#software-testing as tunneling is quite essential for software development.
Nope, people say "just" all the time for this case. You might think they should use "only" or "solely", but they say "just" frequently.

Sometimes "just" does have an implication.

If you assume the writer isn't being a dick, it's easy to see what they meant.
I wonder if there is a mentality that ‘meh these are just game saves, big whoop’ as opposed to say Google docs. Hopefully data is data.

> their clean orthogonal instruction encoding is so inefficient (e.g. it wastes a lot of instruction cache)

Perhaps, although ARMv8 is fixed 4 bytes and x86-64 averages more than 4 bytes an instruction despite each x86 instruction mapping to more than 1.0 uops on average. Oops.
>The company will consider civil actions for software infringement against those involved in CPC theft and mismanagement.

What is software infringement? Does it mean copyright infringement? Stealing a piece of hardware isn't copyright infringment, although maybe some types of reprogramming it would be.

Kind of funny. I've heard people call copyright infringement theft before, but I've never heard anyone call theft copyright infringement until now.
> I shouldn’t have to keep explaining this. zstd isn’t some magic answer to everything.

That logic doesn't really work. It's true that zstd doesn't let you tune it to be as fast as lz4. But it's possible that a slightly different design could make that possible, so that the new version is better than lz4 at all speeds and at all ratios. Making one compression algorithm strictly better than another requires no magic.
Coincidentally, yes! I had to use that diagram to troubleshoot a no-fuel issue on my '83 900 last year. (Bad pump.) Now I'm learning all about fuel leaks and brake calipers and putting too many miles on (and paying too much attention to) my emergency backup Saturn.

What year is your 900? I haven't heard of this fan issue yet, but there are a lot of really specific SAAB things that I'm sure I'll encounter if I can keep this car going long enough.

What I'd really like would be to select a wire and have it highlight the wire and every connection; that'd make continuity tests a lot easier to confirm. I'm sure places like Haynes have some great software in-house they can use to make their diagrams.
What brands have you used? My Apple 96W USB-C charger is still doing fine after having it for just under two years now.
Montrealer here: We're fucked.

Bell, one of the two main internet providers, just bought my independent provider Ebox. There were a rather dependent independent mind you, all their lines were rented.

If I want fiber, Bell is my only option. Not the main one, the only one. Their pricing is reasonable if memory serves, but their customer experience is notoriously awful. I will never deal with them again unless I'm absolutely forced to.

Anyway, good article, we're fucked, deregulation brings us misery once more.
It's actually primarily useful for buying legal goods that credit card companies won't touch, like research chemicals.

It's not good for crimes because Chainalysis can track the coin movements afterward - though maybe it's good enough. And porn doesn't seem to use it, maybe because the transaction costs are too high or it's too unethical even for them.

And it's not good for speculation because it turns out it's just correlated to US tech stocks.
For reference housing cooperatives in Vancouver used to have a fixed price service with Telus of ~20CAD for 15 mb/s symetrical, typical rates were at around 40-50 for similar services. This was great as many of the residents are retired seniors with very little internet needs (basic Netflix or Zoom). throughout the pandemic the government gave the go-ahead to pipe owners to increase rates, this deal was canceled and people moved to regular pricing with 40% discount on $90 base rates, effectively doubling people's rates.
Not really. You can bid a project-priced project with T&M overages, which is what every project at Matasano did; Matasano was founded by @stake people, which is where we got our project structure from; @stake was Cambridge Technology Partners people, which is presumably where they got it from; and so on down the line all the way back to, I assume, Samuel Adams or Patrick Henry or some other famous Bostonian who came up with the concept.

Just break the project out by week (or by day if it's short) and provide a "total project price" line, and then a clause saying you'll charge overages at a pro-rata day rate. Of course, you can decide whether or not to actually charge OT; if you're OT because of something you did wrong, you're best off not charging, while if the client did something flagrantly wrong, like not kick off the project until 2/3rds of the ostensibly billable time was over, you're well within your rights to do so.

This stuff isn't hard, and I've been a little confused for, like, about 17 years as to how message boards manage to make it seem complicated.

If this is news to you, and you start doing it yourself (you should; it's easy, aligns incentives, and will probably make you more money) you have to credit me, but also cite the whole Apostolic succession (Matasano, @stake, CATP, ..., Paul Revere) I just did.

Encrypted archival of PII for a limited time, say a year. GDPR allows the storage for legal reasons.

A one way hash of PII, salted, stretched, this is enough to verify identity but also doesn't keep the PII directly (I know only 8 billion people on earth is not enough entropy. Still you make a legal effort and segregate it from your network)

It's about how and why the deal was structured that way.

Amazon is structured so that there is net 100,000 dollars of wealth in the deal betweeen you and him that goes to him (whatever goes to you, he also gets 100k.

I am sure you have no complaints, but why the 100k? why can't that be 50k to him and 50k to you.? Or 33, 33 and 33 extra in tax? or ...

And is the particular arrangement something that is fundamental and inviolable to creating the wealth Amazon did? Or is it just that because it was that way Amazon could beat the alternative universe Amazon ?

what is the phase space of "still generate wealth" and "society looks different"?

> How are they supposed to know that you don't want to be in the store anymore?

Is the store - who you are not paying - a 1) business of public accomodation; or 2) obligated to provide such detection and ejection services; or 3) required to provide service?

You can't cut them off, they're Donny (who TOS don't apply to). You must cut them off, they can't they're not even. You are responsible for my behavior!

Best of luck suing the game publisher for optimizing the game, the author of a book you got for FREE for your time lost, suing the bar that you chose to frequent; do you think they're required to provide service to you? Did they prevent you from leaving? Did they prevent you from choosing to do something else, like entering a different URL in your address bar at will?

You should instead pay someone to provide the hypothetical service you're demanding fascist control over. CA is not a shareholder; and this new policy will be challenged and the state must apply said policy to all other businesses equally: you may not dog just {business you're trying to illegally dom} with an obligation to put a countdown or countup timer above the fold because they keep taking so much of your time.

EDIT: I just can't f believe they thought that only {Facebook} would have to check real name IDs at the door, run a stopwatch for each user with a clock above the fold, profile your mental health status, allow Donny to keep harassing just whoever, and tell you when it's time to go because you can't help yourself when it's time to leave the store they continued to optimize.

Taxi is a documentation and query language, but not a runtime wire format. ie., you can't encode a message into Taxi and send it across the wire, like you can with Protobuf.

Taxi is intended to work with protobuf, rather than replace it.

The idea is teams work on the Taxi type system collaboratively, building a library of terms (FirstName / LastName / etc), which can be applied consistently across multiple team's schemas.

Developers using Protobuf / OpenAPI / RAML / etc., can embed those terms directly into their existing schemas, to improve documentation, and describe interoperability between multple internal systems.

(TeamA's field called "givenName" is the same data as TeamB's field called "FIRST_NAME")

As I write this, I realize our docs are missing how to use Taxi with Protobuf, which is kinda embarrassing. There's examples documented elsewhere[0], but we need to get the Taxi docs updated!

Exactly.

Fundamentally, tech workers don’t seem to understand this point mainly because they are making more money than “everyone else.”

The other reason is that we as humans don’t understand big numbers. Big ape brains can’t understand the gap between $1 million and $1 billion let alone 100 billion.

Proxmox also has native container workload virtualization with LXC container support built right in and ZFS filesystem. Two killer features.
In RL, reward does not mean positive only. You could train an agent on purely negative rewards and it would optimize for the policy that is least negative.

Also, +1 and -1 do cancel each other out by definition. If your model has suffering greater than succeeding, then you would assign suffering a greater penalty, like -10 vs +1.

He got Google to do a takedown. Which means Google has information about him. Which is the sort of info you request and get in pre-trial discovery when you're suing an unknown, but not unknowable, party.

Google will probably settle out of court. Most commercial litigation never reaches trial. The reason you do this sort of thing is that it forces Google to send somebody competent to talk to your lawyer.

So long story short: after decades of mergers and acquisitions, the only 2 options to get home Internet in Canada is through TV cable (owned by one monopoly) or the phone cable (owned by another monopoly).

Monopolies being monopolies are charging the consumers exorbitant prices, making Canada one of the countries with the most expensive Internet.

To create some semblance of competition, the 2 companies owning the infrastructure are required to rent it to smaller service providers (although at arbitrary prices effectively pricing them out). The arbitrary pricing was contested by the smaller providers and the regulator attempted to mandate fixed prices for infrastructure access. That was in turn contested by the monopolies, arguing that they were forced to subsidize the smaller providers.

That said, I think it would be a much better idea if our government had balls to actually separate infrastructure owners from the service providers, and block further mergers. So multiple end user facing companies would compete for access to the same infrastructure, and the infrastructure owners would compete for servicing the providers, not being able to directly own either of them. Both layers would be have the incentives to offer good service at reasonable prices, while the current incentive for the infrastructure owners is to hamper the small players as much as they can.
I pay the same, and the service is pretty good.
Very impressive, a star well deserved
Must be some American thing. Here the knobs are always on the front, usually because the stove comes integrated on top of the oven, but even for glass tops the knobs come in a separate module that you mount under the stovetop and protrude out on the front. Except knobs in the first place are rather unusual now due to the touch-trend.

Having knobs on the top sounds like an incredibly stupid idea. For all the reasons you posted and more. No wonder people look into touch solutions if that’s the baseline comparison.

For BLAS, it has enough legacy that the vendors just make their own libraries, so it would probably be best to use Intel MKL (which has it's own internal dispatching, but I don't think it uses FMV) if you are targeting Intel, and maybe AMD's branch of BLIS if you are targeting AMD. I believe Eigen comes with it's own version of BLAS built in, but it can be made to link to MKL at least, probably BLIS if you are really stubborn.
For me, it’s because Ford has a long history that demonstrates they take care of owners for years after the purchase.

Like another poster said, Mini-ITX can be fairly small; I've got some 3.3L cases (includes a 150W power supply). My case has room for a 2.5" drive and a laptop optical drive (kind of, there's a related model that has an opening for the optical drive, mine just has the mounting place for it), you could get a smidge smaller if you omit that. There are smaller cases especially if you have and don't count an external power supply. If you do MicroATX including a MicroATX case, that's meaningfully smaller than ATX but there's no price premium. If you want to get smaller, the CPU coolers are the tricky bit, and I'm assuming you're ok with integrated graphics, GPUs and their coolers are pretty immense as well.
The performance of different queries is different across a typical RDBMS and something like Spark/BigQuery.

A traditional database is efficient (i.e. cost effective) at doing a lot of the same query repeatedly, e.g. looking up a customer's account balance, whereas these query engines are good at doing infrequent queries with lots of complicated, expensive logic on very large datasets.

You could run simple account lookup queries in a CRUD app with Spark, but you'd be setting a lot of compute/money on fire, and your latency would probably be terrible.
Hey folks. Creator of Taxi here. Pretty chuffed to wake up and find Taxi on the front page of HN.

We built Taxi originally as a "Better OpenAPI", being frustrated with the signal-to-noise ratio of OpenAPI / Swagger's format.

However, over the years, we've found it shines when used to describe how data and APIs from different teams & systems can interoperate.

Rather than describing an API endpoint as accepting a "String", it's much more descriptive to say "EmailAddress", or "WorkEmailAddress". By using these same scalar types to enrich models in other systems, you can start building pretty powerful knowledge graphs of how everything in your org hangs together.

Happy to answer any questions.
Easy answer: moths!

This is interesting. It looks like the multiversioned functions are resolved by the dynamic linker or loader. What happens if the binary uses static linking? Is there a way to resolve the functions generated by GCC ourselves? Can we specify their symbols?

You can make a binary tree where each node counts the total (recursive) number of children. Updating these counts is log(N).

To insert a node, generate a random bit string: descend the tree and when the counts are equal then take the branch corresponding to that position in the bit string. When the counts are unequal, take the branch with the smallest count.

To remove a node just remove it from the tree and update the counts up along its path to the root. This assumes that articles are added as often as they are removed.

To sample, just generate another random bit string and traverse the tree according to it.

But I agree with the sibling comment that the current non-uniform algorithm is fine for a cute “Random article” button.

This is what can and will happen if we decide it’s a good idea to rent games instead of owning them. Same with always online games - at some point the developers can and will shutdown the servers, rendering your game unplayable. It already happened several times.

I think the chief limitation here is the ATX standard itself. Modern devices could make do with a single 12V rail (especially at this wattage), that would reduce the cabling and simplify the PSU circuitry as well.

A lot of prebuilt OEMs and consoles and not to mention laptops already use this approach.
Credible legal threats are arguably the MOST effective way to get a big corporation to do what you want, the main disadvantage being that the corporation will be disinclined towards doing business with you afterwards since they can no longer farm you passively for revenue. (If there is a long term relationship based on trust this will usually kill it forever.)

There are many steps on the path to filing a lawsuit and actually going to court. For Google these steps are all fantastically expensive.

So if a credible threat exists, what usually happens is the case gets escalated to someone in the middle of the chain of command who has broad authority and a mandate to settle the matter as quickly and inexpensively as possible. If that includes giving you whatever you want, so be it.

They wouldn't have gotten to Google size if they were willing to die on every hill that came along.
