Most numerical operations work on array elements, so things like A+B work as expected with matrices. Not A*B, because that is element-wise multiplication and the matrix product is matmul().

The Euclidean norm norm2() should also work as expected as well.
> The right choice is usually "the language most programmers are most productive in".

As someone who picked the primary BE programming language for a software org in the last year, our considerations were:

1. What's a language that's reasonably easy to hire for

2. What's the language where we feel that the community attracts high quality SWE's

3. What's the language that's easy to teach and easy to pick up, so that if we find a quality SWE who's not experienced, we can still consider them as part of our hiring pool

4. What's the language that's productive, easy to read and easy to maintain so that if we have turnover it's reasonably easy for someone new to pick up where others have left off

For us, Go scored very highly on all of these metrics, and imo it's almost purpose built to avoid the types of problems a software organization can typically run into. That's at the tradeoff of not being the most expressive or conceptually exciting programming language out there.

Imo Rust is at the opposite end of the spectrum. I have a lot of fun programming with Rust on hobby projects, but to be honest it would be hard to recommend it to an organization as a primary programming language unless the problem domain really can benefit from Rust's value prop in terms of performance, safety, and low-level control. Because you're paying a lot for it in terms of steep learning curve, potentially complex and difficult to maintain codebase, and small talent pool.
I pretty much think both are dead, or to be more precise: downscaled.

Netflix has been making bad woke movies for too long. If they had good content at least it would be ok, but they don't.

Most people are back in the office and the competition has caught up, so what is Zoom's justification for existence?

People don't seem to graps the cocept that equity prices are fair market values: the current consensus is that netflix is 80% lower than the high peak. At the height, money was free and i flation low. Now, and in the future, money will be very expensive and inflation high, so why would you hold growth stocks that also don't seem to be producing anything valuable (like netflix bad movie quality).
People like you are exactly the problem..provide a real use case where crypto and Blockchain have revolutionized something and then talk. You can't seem to do that.

If I create a meeting for next November at 1600 local time in paris, and it's stored at 1500 UTC, what happens if France decides to stick with summer time between now and then. The meeting is still 1600 Paris, but the time will be 1400 UTC.

Similarly if I want a task to run at 6AM local time every day

If a time is in the future you usually want to store it as local time because we don't know what the offset between local and UTC will be.
There are a lot of stories like this. There are also a lot of unbanked people (1.7 billion worldwide). People who fail to see the value in Bitcoin/crypto often are not aware of those very real problems people are facing. Traditional banking is great so long as you are on the happy path.
It's an open hiring board. Who is going to fairly judge the openings without falling into some sort of bias?

Actually I can barely find any crypto posts on the hiring threads. Maybe 5%.

I'd love to see PoS be successful and end PoW mining, I just have my doubts that the current ETH devs can pull it off successfully.

PoS opens up its own can of worms. Namely, it is vastly more complicated and not as well understood or executed in as large of a scale as PoW currently is. The Merge is honestly terrifying to me given the amount of money on the line.

As a software engineer who's built large distributed systems. I've always relied heavily on having robust test suites so that I know that when I'm deploying code, there is little risk of failure. In this case, the devs have had years to get the test suite passing [1] and the plan is to launch in a few months. I really wish that this was looking a bit better than it is at this point.

There also isn't a published set of plans for what happens if things go wrong. We could end up with a forked chain and ETC situation again and I'm not sure it would survive that.

So yea... I'm optimistic, but I'm also a doubter. I'm more than fine with them taking as long as they need to get it right. The current rush seems entirely unnecessary to me. Especially since the devs claim they don't care about the price.

Half-serious counterpoint: if you use electric space heaters, might as well mine bitcoin to heat up the house. In that case it's still rational to mine because you'd use that energy anyway.
I think you’re in the best possibile position, actually.
You’re still learning valuable generic skills about the technology, you’re not just doing crypto, so I wouldn’t worry about your employability.
Regarding the backlash, do you derive this feeling you have from Twitter? Because in that case I would just suggest to ignore everyone who’s either super invested in crypto and the absolutist critics: both sides are just good at polluting the discussion with either toxic positivity or superficial criticism. A good idea could also be to avoid Twitter altogether: it’s the most toxic social network I can think of, and it’s very good at convincing everyone that opinions there actually matter something in society.
Well if we're trying to save the environment and make a better life for future inhabitants of this planet why not shut down all of these? Why shut down just crypto currencies?
Of course he has to toe the company line. But the truth is far simpler.
When is 'starts with a conclusion and has been trying to fit the evidence to it' a bad thing? A lot of physics discoveries started with a hypothesis, then scientists tried to set up experiments to look for empirical data to confirm the hypothesis.

If that's your only objection to these theories, maybe you're starting with your own conclusion yourself.
My reply was to someone talking about the grid in the Netherlands. That was what “our grid” referenced.

Furthermore, we have three levels of grid. The very high voltage, highways, the regional high voltage, aNd the local grid. Each have their own challenges. For Solar it is mostly the local grid that gets overloaded. On my connection I’m hitting 250V on sunny days instead of the standard 230.

> Especially, if you registered a company to make sure you're not personally liable for data protect breaches.

And that's your mistake right here. A limited liability structure never protected you against wilfully breaking the law, or being criminally negligent, not when it came to murder, and not when it came to data protection. Just ask any engineer who signed off on a design that later turned out to be insufficient according to specification.

Data protection criminal charges used to be levied against random people within the company - and now they are focussed on the data protection officer (who criminally neglectfully abandoned their function if there is a breach).

If you are still confused about this concept, before you do more in the business structure world, it might be a good idea to talk to a lawyer and make them explain the difference to you.
No coins are ever 'worth' anything really. They're just coins. It's a question of who mints them, whether bad actors get to help themselves as the coins come fresh off the presses, and whether the economy that trades them will keep allowing fair future trade or not.
They fulfill the same role muscle men.

A manager's goal is to enforce submission.
Maybe you don't like games but in what sense are they "more wasteful"? By what measure?

Crypto is considered wasteful because you can compare it to cheaper, more traditional means of exchange. Games are entertainment or art that you can't really quantify in the same way. People enjoy the games themselves, not for any utilitarian purpose.

ASIC are used for major cryptos like Bitcoin that can justify the design and fabrication costs. For random shitcoins, you need GPUs.

The geographical first reference from the name of the author (Davide Sant'Angelo) suggests 'dato' must be the singular for 'data' - "piece of data".

What some number of people decide in their spare time about the nicknames they will give to things - from cockney rhyming slang to extra-academical trends -, remains their own business, and should not bother us. A "private" business, not in the default terms of their right to keep it private to us, but of our right to remain uninvolved.
I think this view has changed over time. Polonius’ advice was my late father’s favourite passage in Shakespeare. I was surprised, at university for a degree in Literature, to hear that it was thought of as a bunch of passé rambling.

And nowadays I agree 100% with my dad - it’s great advice.

I read it as there not being anything else at Apple left to inspire him, which is a reflection on his story at Apple, not Apple itself. If you work at one place for well over a decade, it makes sense to me that you would eventually run out of things you want to do there and have to move on.

But regardless of the interpretation, firing the dude was completely unacceptable.
I'm trying to imagine how many days I would lose money mining in hopes of helping establish equilibrium. I can't imagine miners are very altruistic. I can also imagine many of them deciding the party is over and selling their valuable hardware. I don't have a clue what happens when nobody wants to mine it.
Perhaps it's only unlikely because most people give up, and if you don't give up, it's much more likely.

I’m confused. The game says 55 fps, but it looks like 4? Is it just computing positions at a lower rate while rendering at 55?

Anyway, from my experience with Songs of Syx, which also has large scale pathfinding, I’d like to encourage you to find a way to spread it (and other calculations) around. When you reach larger city sizes, the game becomes noticably slower on some ticks. Still smooth, but when your guys are moving at 4x speed, and everyone suddenly slows down to 2x speed (presumably because calculations take so long that running at 4x isn’t possible any more), it’s very jarring.
There're cryptocoins other than BTC. Ethereum and Monero are two that are popular and GPU profitable.
They will be replaced with age verification on any site with comments or user generated content, those providers will know all those sites you visit.
Because ECS sucks. It's slow and unergonomic, like a badly designed k8s with fewer features.

k8s is nicer to use and simpler if you ignore the complex bits. Plus it's the standard.
That's why the really useful dials go to 11.
Understand, but not everyone who wants to learn to build web pages plans on it for a career. Maybe they've got a hobby site or a volunteer group at a school. Course some self taught graduate to full time but not all.
Totally agree. I think Rust advocates can be quite myopic, and tend to frame Rust's advantages relative to C++ or Python/JS in particular. But there are a great many languages which are more productive than Rust, and don't have some of the specific relative drawbacks that C++ or Python do.

I really enjoy programming in Rust, but it's undeniable it makes tradeoffs in terms of productivity for the unique value proposition it presents. The idea that Rust should be used to implement every CRUD webservice, or that Rust -> wasm should be used to implement every web app just seems like irrational exuberance to me.
The before/after picture would make sense if after was taken 5 or 10 years later.

You're making a lot of assumptions here.

> First games waste a lot of electrical power. A modern GPU is what at its peak? 500 watts? A modern CPU isn't too far off. That's 1kwh that per gamer that gets turned into heat and lootboxes.

What's "modern game design"? Gachas existed for a long time, single player games exist and are wildly popular.

> 5th spending all that time sitting means it's an enormous health care crisis. Pair that with the deregulated dopamine cycle in game addicted people and you can easily see how this leads to over eating and obesity. Which is even more of a cost to society.

Got something to back that up?
With a permanent publicly readable record as well!
You have to assume that the cost of switching is less than the difference in profitability. Computing that is nearly impossible. It is a case of not knowing what you're losing, but feeling like you got a good deal at the same time.

At least for GPUs, the cost of switching workloads on the fly, is actually quite high.

I don't know the reasoning behind this, would love to understand in depth, but you're probably right.

>> don't know what you mean by this. I'm taking about how when everyone had excess cash (not excess value) then they spent it on things like NFTs, while a part of the craze saw new money buying NFTs like old money buys yatchs (to get into an exclusive club), a lot of people followed the hype by putting their money into an "asset" that has lost staggering amounts recently as a recession looms ahead because it mostly solves no real problem and creates no real value.

Nice talking to you!

When I worked as an analyst in DoD, it was widely understood that acronyms would appear everywhere in everything we did, but also that it can confound a reader who bumps into an unfamiliar acronym if it appears out of nowhere in a report. The caution and best practice was to always give the full name the first time it is used, together with its acronym in parentheses. Then after that you are free to use the acronym as much as you want.

I doubt it would be controversial if programmers adopted a similar convention.

> Are you saying that there are literally no policy differences between major political parties in countries like the UK? What about countries that have voting systems that make the legislature more representative of voters' preferences?

In the context of my parent's comment: "Government trying to legislate things that they do not understand", no, there is no distinguishable difference between the Tories, Sinn Fein, the DUP, the LibDems, the SNP or Labour. The Raving Loonies at least have the introspection that they consider themselves incompetent, so ... more power to them, I guess?

Yes please. For the love of God I have been waiting for this to happen. Need to get rid of this absolute nonsensical thing from the internet. And punish companies for selling data.
Crypto presents a real solution to this problem despite HN’s hate for it. Users who want to achieve Patreon style donations and gated access to digital media can use stablecoin payments on a high-throughput layer two network. Cost per transaction would be minimal, allowing micropayments without cutting into artist profits. The protocol could be fully open source as well.
Depends on what you like. I remember Consider Phlebas as a series of vignettes, while Player of Games is a coherent story. I like the coherent stories and also think Excession is quite good.
A compelling reason is the large ecosystem of tooling that runs on k8s. Practically anything you want to do has a well maintained open source project ready to go.
On a large scale, it is more like 7-9k.

You should get a WiFi mesh system, I had the same issue and it solved it.
If we assume for a moment it's a currency (and not a security) and it fulfills the goal of an non manipulable currency well (IMO it doesn't) then you could say:

Besides the operators (miners, devs) following people are the main profiteers:

- in a progressive well working country, mainly organized crime, terrorists and people wanting to destabilize the country, so if you live in such a (non existing) country you would not want it at all

- in a autocratic country it's the opposite, you want it really really hard

- in a dysfunctional country it can be helpful but the "it's safe from government manipulation" point matters less then the it's not operated by the government point

Now most countries are somewhere in-between so there is no clear cut answer.

But as far as I can tell all ethically "good" use-cases which couldn't simpler be archived with other means are also illegal by law of at least some involved parties/countries.

Now by-law illegal doesn't mean bad.

Still IMHO Bitcoin completely failed as currency, and some of the other promises aren't really there either.

It did have a temp. huge success as security, (stock like) speculation target and high risk speculators (at some point, not now).
GKE autopilot deserves a mention. If you’re going to go k8s, then it’s pretty close to noops

Nothing about using k8s forces you to use microservices or auto scaling or good password management. These are just strawmen.
I don't think so. The user can test the app for free as much as he/she wants. The user only has to pay if he/she wants to track from more than one website at a time. Also, all Google Play purchases are refundable within 48 hours (everyone might not be aware of this though).

The bad reviews usually come when people try to track from websites that are JavaScript heavy, where the app does not work so well. Maybe I should have been more precise; it works on most websites, not all.
