I would go as far to say that Go’s performance is good only because of value types. Their GC is known to slow down allocation when under big pressure.
Do you have a source for that 60% figure? That seems odd to me. Almost every non-techy person I know with a Mac still uses Chrome.
I wish I could be more helpful, but this was during a period I was distance running everyday for years without much concern on what I was consuming so long as I found it interesting.

In terms of popular podcasts maybe I could say Lex Friedman, but then I might search for one of his guests, or specific topics I wanted to learn more about, on YouTube and look for lectures or panel discussions in the results that looked like they might be high quality.
Sounds like a recipe for disaster to me - so i put various bits of my preferences and identity data into a personal data silo, and use that data silo to connect to various web services. Next thing you know each service will add a set of permissions which they can request and you can allow or deny and thus "keep you safe", until after a while every service starts asking for more and more permissions and more and more of your personal data. And they've already got you locked in by storing all your emails or photos or whatever, so you agree and they just get all your data. And nothing was solved.

The answer to walled-garden internet institutions isn't amalgamating all your personal data into one database so the walled-garden vendors can more easily grab that data. It's decentralisation and diversity (as in more choice) of vendor. Once again a Silicon Valley / venture capitalist darling fails to understand what data privacy means, and just bundle up their latest data grab in a shiny marketing package.
It could divide itself into smaller pieces and hack million of devices/iot worldwide and live on.
Go’s GC are not low-latency in the ZGC Shenandoah meaning - it just slows down allocation (and thus every thread) under big pressure.
> Jack Dorsey just launched “Web5”, a buzzwordy project focused on decentralized identity

Woah, hold on, I thought we were still on "Web3"? Actually I'm not convinced that we've even moved past Web 2.0, since Web3 is still mostly just bullshit, scams, vaporware and monkey jpegs.

Did "Web4" get swallowed up by the same beast that made us skip IPv5?
> It only works in places where the institutions are functional, which is something that you are taking from granted.

I want to stick with the Kickstarter example a bit longer, as "banking the unbanked" is to me one of the few claims of potential crypto applications that I care about.

Blockchain technology is at this point well over a decade old, yet we can still only talk about its benefits in hypotheticals. You claim that a decentralized, crypto-based alternative to Kickstarter would be valuable in those places where institutions are not functional. This seems like something that could be tested today, as opposed to in some nebulous future. So where are all these applications that financially emancipate the proverbial Somalian farmer? I haven't really seen any concrete, significant success stories, much less any that justify the fossil fuels we're burning to maintain these systems.

I suspect this has to do with the strong correlation between corruption in general (which would drive one to adopt crypto alternatives) and poor or nonexistant education (which is needed for the tech literacy to use crypto and not be scammed at every turn). I don't know how to solve that problem.

> But forget kickstarter[...]

I don't know how to solve that problem without blockchain; I also don't know how to solve it with blockchain.
Faculty member here, conducting research on Natural Language Processing, Machine Learning, and Artificial Intelligence. For me, 99% or more of all research that is worth reading these days is open access and published for free in non-profit, community-run journals and conferences. The only time I stumble upon pay walls is when I venture into older work or neighbouring research areas.

The only notable exception is Google DeepMind, that has a nasty habit of using Springer Nature. I am assuming it is because of the perceived prestige and disregard for the standards we otherwise have set as a community.

On a personal level, I refuse to review for any entity that maintains closed access journals. It is not sufficient that you offer open access, it should be the norm.

Lastly, all is not fun and games when it comes to open access. Even if your field and publications are always open, you are likely to be forced to upload your work to approved repositories (which always come with horrendous, slow, and fragile user interfaces). You must remember to do this within a given time window or suffer punishments akin to if you had published your work as closed access, marking the work as ineligibility to count towards funding, etc.
You keep spreading false facts and when disproved, just jump on to false logic:
You're claiming I'm insulting you, but how? By pointing out the fact that much like people who'd argue it's fine to display the confederate flag because it's large part of american history regardless of the bad things associated with it or how it makes black people feel?

Are you insulted by comparison of argument structure?
Good, perhaps that'll help you see how black people might feel when they're faced with people like you, who insist on using terms that would have never coined if black people weren't an underrepresented minority in the software industry.
There is still some trust I have with a stranger that posts on hackernews. Perhaps misplaced, but it's there nonetheless. I trust that if they took the time to post about a product, that they genuinely believe in it. If I later learn that they are just a marketer for that product, that trust will get diminished.

To give another example, why do we trust product reviews by strangers on Amazon? They could all be just marketers in disguise after all. But Amazon actually puts effort into removing fake reviews. Why? Because honesty matters. And when you have a bias or profit motive, it's important to disclose that part too, so people can judge your review appropriately. Paid reviewers exist, but they are usually disclosed.

Honestly I think this is largely because humans want the conclusion that only they are consious, or at least that only they and some animals are, and are trying really hard to carve out a definition that makes that work. Why would we do that? Well obviously because we create AI to do work for us and we don't want to have any ethical considerations get in the way of treating our new slaves however we want.
> When was the last time you woke up and felt, damn, all I wanna do is identity, identity, identity?

As someone who went through the clown show gauntlet of crypto scammers and charlatans as a freelancer, I’m going to have to disagree. This is going to be most useful for the crypto community, not the brick and mortar world, nor Silicon Valley or the HN community.

Why would anyone complaint while sci-hub is there. I know that it is still illegal and people don't talk or encourage this but it is used and a lot. It maybe just a new fact added to unwritten rules in academia. Because I don't think the current situation with publishing industry gets any support inside the community.

I honestly am very pessimistic of such efforts succeeding. Now there is a massive, profitable, industry designed around harvesting data. Why would any of the major players work towards any ends that threatens their wealth. Indeed, I suspect that there will be ferocious resistance, perhaps sabotage, towards such technologies.

The only way i see this perhaps working is via governmental, rather than private market forces. Though web5 may indeed be useful both in the implementation of any such law, as well as providing motivation for its enactment.
Different types of products have different product cycle times, but that doesn't make the comparison between stages of the product refresh inaccurate.
The first link notes that they don’t plan to change the semantics of the range loop, but they might dis-allow referencing it

Minus the zooming part, a lot of the window managers from the late 90s/early 00s worked this way.

IIRC, GNOME 1 had an option for this.

It didn't work that great because there just wasn't that much use for windows halfway between multiples of the screen size.
Money is no more imaginary than IP packets.

I mostly agree with you, but it feels a bit handwave-y. That such bugs are less serious is maybe true for a particular class of idioms and a particular class of problems that, say, dominate CRUD application design.

Unsynchronized writes are also detectable at runtime, I would guess (having done no production Erlang work) with around the same order of false negatives as a stuck mailbox. TSan will only find the race if it occurs relatively close temporally; mailbox scanning will only find the stuck message if the send rate is sufficiently high. TSan is a lot more expensive but can be productively used during test suites. Mailbox scanning seems likely to fire false positives and only works in a complete running system.

In the end, only simpler program design can save us.
This is more or less my experience as well. I’m not as involved as I used to be, but the only time I couldn’t get access to something I wanted in ML was Google’s TPUv4 paper. But a quick trip to https://www.reddit.com/r/scholar solved that.

You used to get that free by setting your resolution higher than what your screen supported. It was horrible.
N4 is still (despite the name) part of TSMC’s 5nm process family and offers little to no performance/efficiency improvement over N5P.

N4 increases the number of EUV layers so the main improvements should be in cost and yield which would have been interesting to Apple, but N5P hit volume manufacturing earlier allowing Apple to ship the M2 earlier and with more capacity.

Waiting for N3 would have offered a considerable performance and efficiency boost but that’d realistically have delayed M2 to the first half of 2023.
Cryptocurrency became popular as a result of the increasingly obvious dysfunction of the fiat monetary system.
Unfortunately, this dysfunctional monetary system which crypto was meant to replace has managed to take control of crypto and has turned it into a parody of itself.
Still, it's difficult to think of a better alternative to cryptocurrency to replace the current failing system.

The best we can hope for is that fiat proponents will keep deploying their endless printed fiat currencies towards the continued corruption of the crypto ecosystem until they destroy all of society and their own monetary system along with it - They will keep systematically feeding the greed, deception, inefficiency, incompetence and insanity until it takes over everything.

In their quest to discredit the cryptocurrency ecosystem, fiat proponents are also discrediting their own monetary system. It's a self-destructive and mutually-destructive race to the bottom.
Sure, but if the alternative (for you) is to waste time in front of the TV or gaming, it may be a valid point.
I have Bitwarden desktop/mobile apps and I keep them in sync exactly for this reason. In case something bad happens I can at least copy and paste individual password!
I already told you. I'm done wasting my time speaking with you in this thread. In particular, you seem unwilling to acknowledge any specific trade offs that I've pointed out.
Non-competes without a monetary attachment are hard to enforce from the employer side. Judges don't look kindly to preventing someone from making a living. Of course companies hope the threat of going to court makes people back down - like Amazon who is known bully in this area.

But yes, I wish all states would just ban them outright. Or at least make them require compensation. If an employee is important enough to require a non-compete, then they are important enough to pay during the non-compete time period.

Does CA also ban them as part of an acquisition? I've seen them as part of the sale so everyone doesn't quit the day after the acquisition and start a competitor.

> it's also a relatively simple language that's easy to pick up and use, in contrast to how complex code can get with C# and Java

I never really understood this claim. Arguably, assembly is even less complex of a language, yet you would be hard pressed to say it is readable. Primitive primitives don’t necessarily result in readable code. For example a declarative description of what should happen with a stream of data is much more readable in many cases than 4 nested for loops with breaks and ifs.

But back to the topic, while there is a (fortunately getting less and less relevant) branch of Java which is very into needless abstractions, the language is a very small and easy to pickup one, allowing very readable and concise programs.
Question: how does one stay competitive if a field mostly focuses on high impact factor journals (eg nature) and one makes trainees publish in lower impact factor journals as a matter of principle.

Won’t one be hurting the careers of students by not publishing in the venue with the broadest audience?
I’m surprised by all the app and website talk here. I’ve always associated my journaling with quiet reflection, which means no phones or computers. That is, no notifications or requests for updates, or other distractions so I’ve never considered anything but pen and paper. I have one of these quite nice notebooks [0], that I keep handy morning and night for my journal activity. Even with quiet mode my phone is too distracting and my computer is too closely associated with work.

I'm still looking for a software design tool that doesn't suck.

In the meantime, I simply use pen, paper and ring-binder. I tend to write with the granularity of a single page. That is, decompose functionality, etc, so that resulting sketches, etc fit on a single page. I don't fear mostly blank pages. Easier to find stuff as I flip through the pages.

Once I get down to the granularity of a class, function, module, I implement it and mark the page as done with a date. Any key design decisions, discoveries, etc are transcribed into the comments of that source file.

I also use GraphViz to generate some dependency diagrams. SVG files are easy to view with any HTML browser.
Moral arguments are used by US state propaganda ALL THE TIME to get rid of the bad guys. I no longer trust 'objectively moral' arguments now. Folks who believe such are generally in the camp of the young, the brainwashed or the true 'change' fanatics who don't care about body count in pursuit of beliefs.

Saddam is a bad guy with WMD - let's get rid of him with shock&awe. Oops, we lied to the world and caused 200k deaths, but we are really moral!

Gaddafi is a bad guy who's oppressing the Arab Spring revolution (and threatening the USD). Let's get him with air-strikes and 'freedom-fighters'. Oops Libya fell-apart from a state that had guaranteed healthcare and education to a mess of conflicting factions and a multi-million casualty count. But hey - we are the good guys doing war for 'morality' and freedom. "We came, we saw, he died!"- Hillary Clinton.

Assad is a bad guy who's killing rebels (and siding with bad Russia). Let's get rid of him by giving his opponents (Obama's moderate rebels) infinite ammo, arms and armour. So what if they chained and raped women, united and transmogrified into the ISIS and invaded Iraq - we get another opportunity to bomb the bad guys!

All these 'moral American arguments' are responsible for multi-million deaths and casualties in the world - but doing it for morality makes it OK.

It starts with your campus culture, then those same folks become members of the US state department and want to change the world by through cancelling nation states or enacting sanctions that cause economic collapse and famine.
The Great American Murder Ballad
Skylake (6th) came out in 2015. It's just that due to the 10nm delay we then had Kaby Lake, Coffee Lake and Comet Lake all being refreshes of Skylake on the same process until we got to Rocket Lake (11th) - a backport of a 10nm uarch to 14nm with the somewhat predictable power issues. Only with Alder Lake (12th) we actually got the first real new uarch on the process it was designed for since Skylake.
Sure, but by Java 21 we'll have Go 1.21 with a couple release cycles to push generics into stdlib, and we're back to more or less useless debates about aesthetic preferences and tooling priorities again.

Bitcoin is used by people - for example in countries with capital controls or hyperinflation. It is also legal tender in El Salvador.

In any case your argument is a bit silly? There is an infamous Italian artist who sold tins of his own shit [1]. Would you like to argue that these tins are worth ‘something’ because I can empty the shit out and reuse the tin? I’ll take the bitcoin thanks.

But even with Bitcoin you're super reliant on trust in (a) the technology not to be broken or compromised and (b) the system that supports the actual world outside of crypto (i.e. actual resources that matter).

I've been in a similar situation but we realised we couldn't rely on marketing and that we need sales just before running out of money, incapable of raising another round.

I would have definitely took the 500k.

Needing sales doesn't mean the business is to throw away, it just means you need way more money than you were thinking.

Probably 500k wasn't enough to execute the scale the founder imagined, but it could have been a good intermediate step to raise more money later on.
> it's not suggesting we should do anything to black people

Should I provide you with a list of racial slurs that do not suggest to do something to a minority?

> "Yellow" means caution or slow in most contexts. It's the color of safety vests and caution signs. Should Asians take offense? What about native peoples

I'm sure you can educate yourself with the reasons why semaphores are colored the way they are. Such reasoning do not hold for blacklist and whitelist.
Also you do realize that Asian people and Native Americans do not identify as Yellow or Red, right?

Black people do identify as such, and labeling white and black as allow/reject would have never made so popular if black people weren't so under represented in the software industry in the first place, so yes, lack of inclusion in the first place is the racial influence that allowed these terms to become popular in the software industry, and now that people are trying to change that with a better term. Again, language is a dynamic thing, embrace that.

I don't blame white men for introducing these terms early into software development. One cannot be fully aware of the weight their words carry, but language is a dynamic creature, and should adapt for all kind of reason.
You have a group that you want to include and is affected by a term that's triggering for them, there is an alternative that's just as short and pass it's meaning better (allow-list, reject-list), and sill you seem to argue against replacing it with nothing but "it's original usage was not racial"

> This blacklist (and "master") nonsense is based on a fake story about the term that doesn't hold up under scrutiny

The only fake story so far is your story about "King Henry and his enemies".
You're doing a great effort to enforce terms that have no advantage in terms of semantics and clear disadvantages when it comes to inclusion, but now that I see that you'd support even terms such as master/slave it's quite clear you don't really care about the historical background at all.

> Atheists were persecuted for a long time in history (as were many smaller religious groups) because they were considered "offensive".

Dude, you're comparing persecution of minorities (atheist) due to who they are and their beliefs to... replacing one term for another so that you can make a minority group feel more included.

> You can't create a lie and then demand conformance to that lie
How is "King Henry and his enemies"? I'm still waiting to hear a better version of the story, surely you didn't just say that I'm "the one lacking the historical background" for no reason, did you?
I wouldn’t consider those things to be a waste of time at all…

We have been conditioned to call things like this a waste of time but it doesnt mean it is. Not for everyone. Capitalism would have us believe we must constantly be delivering value that is defined by external standards but that is a dangerous game.
