Our only car is a 10-year old 7-seater powered by a 1.4 liter turbocharged petrol engine (Opel Zafira Tourer). An entirely utilitarian choice, I'll buy something fun when the kids grow up.

What I have come to realize though is that most people couldn't drive quickly in corners if their life depended on it.

And that there is nothing more satisfying than watching a Tesla or Audi become a small dot in the rearview mirror on a highway onramp or a switchback road, when the emblem on your trunk says "1.4 EcoFlex" and your bumper sticker says "Baby on board".

Sure, you'll get passed when the road straightens out again, but both them and me know that I've won.
But the status quo is, pretty much by definition, not extraordinary. I also remember "common knowledge" of the era as "BSD standard, Linux up-and-coming". So where's your evidence for your extraordinary claim that this wasn't how it was?
At some point people were told a Github profile will make you standout. With the right incentives, it is most definitely a thing.
Nice to see this here, this was my go to as a student (around 2003?). Now I don't feel buying (renting) a nice domain, but this is really nice to learn about how the system works and you don't have a lot of money or just want to make many domains fast and free for experimentation.

You don't have to use a channel for coordination. Here is a lexer implementation (in C!) that very closely follows Rob Pike's talk and uses a ring buffer for coordination and is plenty fast.

If you watch the talk carefully, Rob Pike himself mentions this near the end of the talk.
Yes, "a single frame of 16 bit 8K RAW" will be the same size expanded. But on M1 it can be shared more easily with different parts of the CPU, GPU and co-processors without copying.

Even more so for other pipelines, involving CPU+GPU.

MacOS also has memory compression, assisted by the CPU.

And there are other ways an OS can use to keep memory usage lower given a different CPU architecture...

Sure these other boards are supported by some distros but nothing beats the raspberry pi community size. This is a huge help trying to get something to work, for examples etc.

> Unless you spend a lot on LTS hardware (guaranteed, not just labeled as such), many manufacturers will stop releasing/updating their own distro after some time. Just concentrate on the hardware.

Raspberry Pi hardware is LTS, even boards like the pi zero are guaranteed to be manufactured for years to come. Raspbian (now RaspberryPiOS) still runs on the very first pi that was released.

> It might seem odd but it's not; we don't ask Asus or Supermicro to release an operating system for their mainboards, do we? So why we should expect that from SBC manufacturers when there is perfectly good 3rd party support around?

This is ignoring the problem that ARM boards are much less open than intel ones. There's a lot of NDA-restricted documentation when it comes to things like graphics chips. You don't install Android on your iPhone. Even when these distros support a board, it doesn't mean you can get every feature of it to work. Even the graphics chip of the pi was considered 'closed' for a long time due to NDAs.

In short, what is being compared is O(1) djbsort sorting network, vs our full quicksort with pivot sampling, partitioning, then sorting network.

This is because our sorting network size is 16 * elements_per_vector i.e. 128 in this configuration.

Tangentially related to this discussion but I'm curious what you consider "the fun stuff"?

I use linear algebra every day in my work as a graphics programmer. A huge portion of what I do depends on it. While I frequently need calculus it's still a minority of the time.

Derivates obviously show up everywhere: velocity, acceleration, gradients, ...

But it seems to me only the narrow portion relating to physically-based rendering or simulation requires an understanding of integrals. At the moment I can mainly think of how it's used to define continuous functions before introducing the discretization used to actually compute them.
Why criticizing Apple or Tesla is punished by fans on HN?
One apparently cannot criticize Apple or Tesla products on HN without a vociferous contingent downvoting ones comment and invalidating any criticism a-priori, aka "being a fan" of a corporate product means that one must defend them, including silencing critics.

I can already see the gray color this post will appear in after the first downvote.

I notice that HN culture likes to call Reddit a cesspool of bad, however the voting dynamics here are arguably worse, and the passive aggression reminds me of the anonymity of Reddit filtered through LinkedIn-level "self-awareness" that only extends to defending group-think and not embracing actually rigorous technical standards where certain invisible power lines cross.

I get that it's a startup-focused forum, particularly as it's produced by ycombinator, however I don't understand or accept the manner in which certain corporate products are "praise-only" mode.

I've handled all of these. With no issue. If you mean "simultaneously" thankfully I don't edit 8K video simultaneously with programming and recoding music. I don't know anyone who does either.

My point is rather, "16GB in 2012, 16GB in 2022, no difference". And I say: try doing any of those things on your 2012 machine and a 16GB M1, and you'll immediately see the difference.

> You're right though - and it is a mystery to me why these chip makers don't invest heavily in software support. They genuinely seem to not understand the relationship between sales and software support.

I think it's because they target the embedded market. They want to sell not as generic boards but to manufacturers embedding them in their hardware.

This way they can charge not only for the components but also for training on the peculiarities of their chips, documentation access, support etc. I think this is the reason why so much ARM stuff is under NDAs.
I suspect most consumers aren’t willing to make that tradeoff either.

I have heard the same, although phrased as ‘the lowest position where someone is allowed to speak for the company’.
I used my i7 920 from 2007 till 2016 with only the GPU changed from 4870x2 to R9 280. The reason I changed is intermittent problem with booting because of RAM not being detected. I am still using the replacement till now an i7 6700K with 32GB RAM and SSD and I feel I wont be changing it for a while since it is fast for it needs to do.

For me, this is one of the main (subconscious) reasons why I stick with old tech for as long as I can. It is really frustrating to imagine a computer I would "throw away" to literally land on a landfill and rot there. In reality, this is not quite how it goes -- some parts get recycled; students in my country (Estonia) are currently refurbishing donated laptops for Ukrainian war refugees, etc.

But there still is a lot of electronic waste in junkyards. Thinking about this always makes me feel like a loser -- because I have neither the skills nor the time (nor even the need, considering that I already have all the necessary gear for daily life!) to repair as much of that stuff as I could. Junk is nasty and embarrassing. We have a lot of junk.

Another tale of repairs: In 2018 my friend was still using an old Nokia dumb phone from 2007. Mainly because it has physical buttons which is good if you have problems with touchscreens, but mostly because you can drop it from large heights without it breaking (yes, 12 floors onto a grass field is a great height).

But even an old Nokia can only survive that many drops, so one day the phone screen stopped working. The phone would still turn on, make a startup sound, but it would only show white. Must be a display thing.

So we opened up the old Nokia, which meant lots of little screws. Inside we found that the screen and the main board were nog one part, but instead connected through a flat wire with like 10-12 lanes. Careful inspection of the wire showed there was a cut in the last two lanes. So part of the display signal was not reaching the display. Yeah, that might be an issue.

Searching the internet for the Nokia manual/design revealed the part number of the flat wire. AliExpress didn't have the part. In a stroke of luck, we actually found a webshop in the UK that sold the part for like 4 dollar. Ordered and two weeks later we got the part.

Opened up the phone again, replaced the wire, and the screen is working again.

I do want to say the phone is still in use, but unfortunately there are two issues we have been unable to solve:

1. The battery is no longer charging. The phone boots, and runs, but on the first incoming call, it drains so much power it just does. Unless on a charger of course. We have not been able to find a replacement battery yet (haven't searched either).

2. This is a phone from 2007, which means it has no 4G. 3G is already turned off and 2G is expected to be turned off in 2-3 years. This means this phone can no longer be used as a phone in my country. Such a shame really. We have bought a replacement Nokia 110 4G, but it is larger, heavier and has a illogical menu settings. I wish we would just have an upgraded version of the old phone with 4G. Snake is still there though, so we got that going for us.

Okay, my statement was a bit reductive, of course different sports will prescribe different development paths for juniors, but generally speaking, if you're overloading a 12 year old that still has a lot of growing to do, it will end up very poorly(either injury, stunted growth, or burnout).

I did not say anything about juniors being prohibited from competing, healthy competition has immense benefits early on.

That's funny because "most" NP-complete problems are pseudo-polynomial, because a simple exponential problem is O(e^polynomial), so log of that is polynomial.

But people forget that natural numbers are just data, and that data can be interpreted at a a natural number.
The reason banks have so many Vice Presidents is that to bind a company to a contract, you need to be a corporate officer. A Vice President is a corporate officer but a director isn't. If you want to issue loans, etc, you practically need this authority. If a relatively low level employee in one part of the business is a VP, that creates pressure to make lower level people in other parts of the business VPs also. Some of this may be historical, but this as I understand it is why almost everyone at a bank is a Vice President.

I always despised rote learning as a student because I mostly read things once and then remember them. It felt so stupid being forced to solve the same problems again and again. I'd already seen them!

Now, as an adult, I've noticed how much faster I can get past a lot of tricky issues in my work because the patterns I see a lot are familiar and I can glance over them because I know them by heart and don't get stuck on every little detail.
I code/do technical work outside work for a number of reasons:

1) I have a problem I want to solve- like making Christmas lights synced to music or building a speed camera out of a raspberry pi (although those mostly use prebuilt solutions)

2) I saw something cool I want to try. I never build anything to publish, just to scratch a curiosity itch.

3) it’s advent of code time. I never do more than a few of them, but I find the puzzles fun.

4) My kids ask me to (this happens surprisingly often- Minecraft mods, websites for selling their artwork, coding a simple game with them)

I also maintain a blog that gets a little technical, but so far no code there.

Finally, my work sponsors internal hackathons, which I make time to participate in. The doesn’t really count though as it is done on with time.

I don’t spend a ton of time coding outside work, but it naturally fits into my life at serendipitous moments.

Some people don't like Steam since its proprietary. I own around 200 games on Steam and almost all of them have Steam's DRM that prevents me from running the game without being logged into Steam.

I usually get looked at like an alien when I tell people I repair my phone.

Here, it's usual to just get a new phone every year or two. Usually iPhones of course. As a student, I find it insane to spend 1k+ a year on smartphones.

So in 2018, I decided to buy the Pocophone F1 (360€ at the time) from Xiaomi, recently replaced the battery (15€) just before dropping my phone and cracking my display a few weeks later. I ordered a new screen on AliExpress the same day and it cost me 30€.

I'm planning on using this phone throughout my graduation for at least 2 more years before it'll eventually end up as a raspberry PI alternative for side projects (if it lives that long)

That link is a very complicated one that could mislead people due to the first numbers they see. The number of direct deaths of under 10s in developed countries who did not suffer from a serious congenital condition is essentially 0 (e.g. in the UK about 1 in 20k deaths were of a child under 10 and as far as I know they all had serious health conditions).

A common misconception. After credential stuffing (which 2nf factor protects you from), your biggest threat (for people with 2nd factor) is phishing and keystoke logger, which does not require any targeted attack.

OTP is way less convenient than fido keys, so it's both convenience and security. The only downside is the cost, and the effort required for registering multiple keys which is easily compensated for by the ease of use during authentication than OTP.

Dark Wizard! It remains one of my favorite games of all time and was [probably too] far ahead of its time. It's an open-world turn based battle strategy game with leveling units, multiple storylines to play through (with distinct heroes, persistent/leveling units, skill trees, evolution trees, etc), lots of secrets, and so on. It also has some great orchestral type music [1].

It holds up extremely well.

> Even, or maybe especially, for technologists Apple should not be a joke, but something to admire. They do a lot of impressive technical stuff that should awe techies: just replacing intel by a home made cpu with no impact to users other than hugely improved battery life and speed?

As a person who used to work at Intel a long time ago in a non-design/architecture role... It is unbelievably impressive what they've done. Maybe it was always going to happen so there's nothing Intel would have done, but it must sting.

It's so hard to plan chips 1/2 years in advance and predict what the market will consider impressive, etc. They really nailed it.

They're also about to massively win with NVidia open sourcing their linux drivers, games-on-linux finally becoming a thing with Proton, etc.

This isn't true for Microsoft.

They're a monopoly for most of the PCs on this planet and since they've been that for years now, changes to a different system which may still work out are hard and sometimes even impossible.

Same goes for the mobile infrastructure for different reasons. Someone who "grew up" in the Apple infrastructure will have a hard time changing to Android and vice versa. However people within the Android infrastructure have at least a greater choice of hardware (and for a few of them choice of an Android version).
