Yeah, we agree on relative timings, and I guess I'm okay with using "accuracy" without qualification for that, i.e. what the machine observes. It wasn't clear to me that "timing" meant cycle-accuracy, so I guess we do agree after all.

As for how much wall-clock accuracy you need... Eh, as said, it depends on how much of a preservationist you are. If you plan to actually generate an NTSC or PAL signal on a low level (including actually performing the quadrature amplitude modulation), it can well become relevant, and phase noise affects color.

Otherwise maybe not, though again I'm not surprised if some standard Linux on some RPi actually shows visible glitches from time to time. Irrelevant for most users, but then again most users may also just want to play the game on a rudimentary emulator, or even a more modern version of the game. This is all either for fun or for preservation, after all.

If you do need (video signal) or want (anal retentiveness) high wall-clock accuracy, an FPGA then also has the advantage that whatever ARM core or whatever you have next to it can implement UI and control in whatever is most convenient, on any non-RT run of the mill OS, without any risk to negatively affect the rock-solid, cycle-locked emulation in the FPGA. On an overall weaker overall SoC at lower frequency, even.

An FPGA does make things easier, is my point.
I'm assuming this is at your home office?

If so how do you handle it locking your computer during a video call?
I often cook like that but pre-packaged fast-food is in fact faster to cook. I am not saying it should be eaten all the time, but the receipt you describe is not that fast. Mushrooms specifically are time consuming to clean in any non symbolic quantity.

And you also need rice/potato with it unless you go keto in which case you need much more cleaning/slicing mushrooms and more meat.
Why are all Google Search alternatives founded on gimmicks? Where is the startup with a straightforward pitch like "better results than Google, $5/mo"?
Would you prefer to climb into a IFV or a pickup-based technical instead?

Even with all the drawbacks and vulnerabilities, tanks have more staying power than other vehicles, and if you need to do an offensive where it's expected that quite a few of you will die no matter if you advance in vehicles or on foot (peer-level war it's not like insurgent control where having casualties implies a mistake or failure on someone's part) then tanks are the vehicles which allow your to continue advancing while taking fire and some vehicles are lost; a APC company or bunch of technicals can only evade and retreat when meeting serious resistance; tanks are needed to be able to punch through.

Getting old is a nightmare. You must be very young if you don't understand that.
Of course. They're much cheaper, mostly good quality and have a lot of locations. With any cloud provider you should deploy in multiple data centers (as in separate cities, not just different buildings on the same site). Doesn't matter if the server goes down because of a faulty host or because of a fire. And OVH saves lots of money.

As long as you don't need any of the services that only the big 3 offer, I don't see a reason why I would prefer AWS over OVH or Hetzner.
Firefox doesn't allow you to bypass it at all in recent versions. One of the many, many reasons not to use it. Less power to the user.
People are being morons is a fully general justification for censorship because people are always either deeply misinformed about something, hence moronic, or doing something someone thinks is stupid, hence moronic.

> I think in general though that any amount propagating misinformation is bad and can have all kinds of minor unforeseen consequences that can add up.

Yes, other people agree with you that there are bad people out there with bad opinions who should be stopped. They just disagree on who the bad people are, and what the bad opinions are.

Some people think Drag Queen Story Hour is great. Others think that all guns should be banned. Some think that teaching first graders about gender identities is wonderful, others that denigrating religion is wrong.

Misinformation is an excuse for censorship and people aren’t dumb enough to fall for it for long.
Under convention, a British MP that is convicted of a crime is expected to resign. No Prime Minister has ever been issued a fine or committed a crime before.

Johnson (and the UK treasurer) were both issued a fine for disobeying the COVID restrictions, while in Number 10 (and 11) the official residences.

They offended numerous times, including immediately before a press conference to deliver more onerous restrictions, and before the funeral of Prince Phillip, where the Queen (like many others) was mourning alone.

The Queen wasn't required to keep the COVID restrictions (she is literally "above the law"), but she dutifully obeyed them.

It's not the nature of the crime, it's the complete lack of remorse or even the perception that there was any harm.
When the supply of something is unlimited, it's value tends to approach zero.
Hetzner can match OVH. To match their prices you need scale to build your own datacenters and servers. Small providers can't do that, they need to colocate and that'll usually be more expensive than owning your dc.
I couldn't agree more! I often tell the team something similar: if you struggle with ownership or getting some code to work, you can always just clone and get the first draft working. You'll still do better than the equivalent in Python or the likes.
You do need a prescription in the US.

If you just want it for a month to check out your blood sugar, you can ask your doctor to prescribe you a one-month trial pack. (They're technically for diabetes screening to see if you're diabetic/prediabetic).

If you want them for a longer period of time, and you don't care about insurance covering the thing, you can straight up buy them from a startup like Levels. I think they have a doctor prescribe one for you via video call, but it's more just to explain how to use the thing, and it's unlikely to be covered under insurance if you're not diabetic.
Years in the case of the Hunter Biden laptop story.
I'm doubtful it's a 'productivity' issue so much as a 'status' issue. The product is positioned as a brand, not a tech.

It's actually a confusing thing in marketing.

Products that are sold for aesthetic reasons - i.e. fashion - well that's obviously aspirational.

But most products that are sold even on the basis of features - those features are never used. It's the features themselves that are aspirational.

There's a late night infomercial on right now selling hoodies. They make it green, call it the 'tactical hoodie' and use the most ridiculous, masculine/alpha, quasi military language to describe it. All the 'zippers' and 'pockets' and 'the peak on the hood to keep your night vision' etc..

It's just a basic green hoodie ... but described as though it's for Special Forces Operators i.e. aspirational marketing.

FYI that products are sold aspirationally doesn't mean they are bad, they can be good, even better, just that you're probably going to end up paying a hefty margin.

Good example of this kind of positioning:

"You sent a critical email, but didn't hear back. Why? Your message was buried by countless more that arrived later. With Superhuman, you can get back to the top of their inbox. When you send an email, just choose a time — for example, Monday at 8:55 am — and we'll deliver it precisely then. When your contact starts their day, they'll see your message first. No matter when you work, send at the perfect moment. "

It's a ridiculously mundane feature, sadly one that took forever to appear on most clients, but it's now universally available, called out as some amazing thing and contextualized in the locus of the problem i.e. "Your message gets read first!". Smart but a bit hapless.
Exactly. And this is why the FDA won't approve drugs based on changes to biomarker (which is what these "epigenetic clocks" are) unless a direct link between that biomarker and a beneficial outcomes has been proven.
> Runs docker in a VM for you

It depends:

- the Hyper-V backend uses a VM for running the actual containers, which is a bit annoying because it just sits there and eats your RAM whenever it's on (technically you could enable dynamic memory for the VM, but i think it used to break)
- the WSL2 backend uses the whole fancy new system that Microsoft came up with to, idk, attempt to embrace and extend Linux or something; far less annoying than Hyper-V but also has somewhat different approaches to setting resource limits (e.g. if you only wnat to give it 4 GB of RAM or 4 CPU cores so something is left for the rest of your system and doesn't slow down when you run docker build)

Honestly, Docker on *nix is a way better experience, but not everyone can run it for a variety of reasons (e.g. corporate policy or having the same PC for personal development and gaming).
To add some context to your comment, which country has the best, and what’s the name of the best chain in that country?
For embedded, a debugger can interfere with ISRs and thread execution and printed output is often the right tool for the job. Just think of printed status as console logging and ignore the snooty crowd who don't know any better. None of them bat an eye at the inefficiencies of slinging around the text encoded data structures we're inundated with. There's a healthy dose of hypocrisy in the industry.
I made my other comment about the disparaging qualities of your commentary, but I just wanted to point out that the numbers you're discussing are actually good for content creators. Incredibly good, actually.

Presuming your DDG example of 100M/day @ $0.01, that would be $328M/year paid out to creators. Bandcamp currently pays out ~$75M annually, and nobody is declaring them "unviable." So, I can't imagine why you consider this amount to be "not much," particularly when it would be additional revenue for creators which is typically 100% absorbed by the search provider.
I don't think people mind using VMs rather than containers.

The preference comes from the tool chain which is simpler for containers (even if you use Vagrant) and performance ( true or not, lots of people still have the sluggish VMs in mind.
Keystrokes are so very much not the bottleneck
Obligatory XKCD: https://xkcd.com/243/
Pro tip: you can use any subdomain of localhost (like app1.localhost) to get a separate origin that still resolves to 127.0.0.1

I've found this most useful for testing CORS and similar web features that depend on the origin, but I guess it could be helpful for HTTPS-related things too.
Well I can. I’ve used debuggers from my MASM “era” to TP to TC to VB, and then dropped that habit in favor of debug logging entirely. I’d say that if you ever tried an environment where you can have that black text window and dump there whatever you want to, all your I-D-Es start to fidget nervously. But YMMV.

print debugging is better over one keystroke for setting a breakpoint

A breakpoint is by definition a point in your process where you can inspect things. You can’t inspect the entire path without tediously stepping through it. With debug logging you can see the path, but have to pick what you want to see to not overwhelm yourself with output. For me the latter yields much better results in general.
I wonder how much can we even talk about collateral damage when almost all the enemy civilians support an aggressive war. I get that they're non-combatants, but they're not innocents.

Especially when the "collateral damage" is in this case is "I can no longer buy iphone".
Since there are people who end their own lives early, i.e. suicides, that position is clearly not unique.

But I think it boils down to where you are in life. No-one would like endless suffering.

As for my own stance on this, i wouldn't want this to happen simply because it will greatly exacerbate the gap between the haves and have-nots, the poor and the well-off. It will completely throw the current social equilibrium out of the window.

And I'm mainly talking about life extension, since i find immortality a foolish/impossible goal.

The issue with JavaScript debugging is you are often using an ad hoc pipeline of transpilers. So even if you pause at a debugger Keyword, the code may look completely different. It takes work to get source maps to work correctly.
It's a really hard problem. There are perhaps a dozen experimental noninvasive methods to get a rough approximation of glucose levels, but none that work consistently enough and accurately enough to make insulin dosing decisions. For that you need fingerpricks or a subcutaneous CGM.
There is a bakery producing French roundloaves, donuts and cookies, most produced in the last 24-48 hours.

> you really need the research to become something of a hobby since you'll be spending hours on it

Exactly, that's my point. In most cases I do extensive research before purchasing by looking up online reviews, forum discussions, and even company/seller background.

My problem is that as a consumer I shouldn't have to do this. I should be able to trust retailers to do this quality and safety vetting for me, so that I don't purchase something harmful, that doesn't work or will break soon after purchase.

But, as you know, it's not in e.g Amazon's interest to give consumers this assurance. Their main clients, after all, are the same dodgy vendors that sell counterfeit garbage, buy fake reviews, and change their "company" name on a whim. Amazon has no incentive to protect the consumer.

I think that a consumer protection agency on behalf of the government should step in, and force retailers to do better.

The other problem is that most consumers don't see this as an issue. They'd rather buy the first cheapest thing they can find, and don't care how well made it is, as long as they can quickly buy it again if needed.

None of these clients owned these servers… so the class action is only for lost data. But none of these people had backups? They weren’t worried about a failed hard drive or a power outage causing data corruption? Or a bad stick of ram? Or cosmic rays? Or software bugs? Or hardware bugs? Or hackers? Or ransomware? Or user error? Or …

Seriously.. weren’t these people just waiting for something bad to happen? And now that something bad did happen, they want someone else to pay for it.. because they wouldn’t pay for the cheapest of measures to protect their property they claim was so valuable. Have you looked at how cheap hard drives are today?

The claim you're debating - "does caste-based discrimination exist" is more likely to be true with an anecdote "I've seen it" than with an anecdote "I haven't encountered it."

Those two anecdotes can both truthfully coexist, but the first one proves the statement while the second doesn't disprove it. The evidence needed to disprove such a statement is pretty large; an individual's work history is not enough to say confidently that discrimination isn't happening.

How many companies have you worked at, 6? How many companies are there with significant indian representation? At Google alone there are far more than six TEAMS with majority indian representation. How could you claim that your experience invalidates someone else's?

Meanwhile, if there are a handful of anecdotes that folks have experienced or witnessed caste-based discrimination, we should be pretty confident that it's a problem.
If your runtime is in any sort of framework, step debugging often drops you into framework code that you never look at that exists between your logic. This is my biggest hang up when trying to step debug beyond a single method or class.

i grep for a few critical apps, and avoid locking if any are open. screen recording, video call, etc. lock starts as soon as they exit.

I don't think there is anything wrong with "printf" debugging. I actually use Rust's dbg!()[0] macro quite often since it is quick to add and it gives me a good idea of the program's flow of execution. Doing the equivalent with a debugger is much more tedious IMO since you need to set up all breakpoints and then either manually continue after each breakpoint or configure your debugger to print something at each point.

Usually when I use a debugger it's after I already narrowed the problem down to a specific section and I need to view more state than dbg!() can practically show me.

Thanks for sharing, enjoyed reading about your perspective.
I'm in my mid 50s in the UK and I was only ever taught metric units - I have no idea how imperial units work. Miles are a unit I only use when driving (and always think of it as 1.6km) and distances and heights seem natural to me in km and m (even though I am working my way round the Munros!).
That's true on Linux, where the container shares the host's kernel. On Windows, they need to create a Linux VM and run the Docker daemon inside it.
I only meant that it was unlikely that anyone got COVID as a result of the parties. The fact that all those people were unable to be with their loved ones while Boris was at an office party is absolutely horrible, and the fact that he didn’t abide by his own rules is reason to resign, as I see it.
If it's neutral networks: I think to some extent you can self study and learn on the job, yes. You can learn how to construct and use neutral networks, and tweak and improve the structure and results, without understanding the maths underneath.

You'd need to (self) study & learn how to train a network, eg course or book or articles?

Hmm isn't that was this HN post is about :-) the course: https://courses.dibya.online/p/fastdeeprl, 4 hours it says, self study

> Oracle also inserted a clause in their terms of use that boiled down to the fact that one can’t publish benchmarks without getting an explicit approval from Oracle.

This feels horrible and would make me look away from any software that has such a clause. Then again, i use very little proprietary software in place and when i don't, it's mostly due to someone else choosing it for a project and me just needing to bite the bullet.

Though in regards to databases, i'm not sure why you'd fork over the cash and use something proprietary, unless you're trying to get rid of any sort of liability on your own end. Then again, i'm pretty sure that you could also find someone to offer support for your PostgreSQL or MySQL/MariaDB deployment, if you wanted to waste money (or did anything so interesting where such support would be warranted).

> Some cloud vendors permit you to benchmark their service but require reciprocity: you must make the benchmark reproducible and allow benchmarking of your own service or tool in response.

This is a bit better in comparison.

Though licenses in general puzzle me. For example, MongoDB is licensed under SSPL so anyone who offers it as a cloud service would have to open source their entire infrastructure: https://www.mongodb.com/licensing/server-side-public-license

And yet i don't think that Digital Ocean is: https://www.digitalocean.com/products/managed-databases-mong... (or maybe they offer the older non-SSPL version).

The whole enforcement angle feels like it would probably impact an individual who benchmarks databases instead of reading bunches of legalese more, for example, than it would impact a larger company that could "figure things out".

One thing I rarely see mentioned in regards to living forever is that during a life you will accumulate mental scars.

My wife has lost a sister, and she's witnessed a murder. Neither she nor I are the same after those experiences. I don't think we will ever be.

If we lived forever I think we would all become more and more anxious and excentric as time progressed and our souls inevitably became more "scarred".

Maybe it's a "challenge" that will also be solved - with memory erasure or what not - but it seems like an overlooked issue to me.
