> LICENSE - There is a license? Why? Someone might steal the text for their own blog post? So what? The license won't stop them.

But it’s still good that author underlined that he don’t want it to be copied. What’s wrong with that?

That’s author choice. Any good argument against it or you will just criticize for the sake of it?

It’s a blog post with 270 different revisions, 80 contributors and a bunch of different languages. Show me how to easily do that with a blog post.

Why number of files is offensive to you? We have a couple tools good at what they do to keep things consistent and organized. Better to have these tools to keep standards than not.

No, it's not. If going for managed services: A load balancer + an asg is stupid simple to setup and it just works.
Well, it's not nested.
The number of times I see Teslas suddenly swerve partially into the next lane or stomp the brakes for no reason on the freeway with nobody around them is ridiculous.

To top things off, one time I saw this happening on 280 in the Bay Area and I decided for safety's sake to pass them. I looked inside and it was a baby in a car seat in the back and a guy at the driver seat with both hands off the wheel holding onto a phone that he was absorbed by.
Although I agree with it I think that small towns have something that is lost in big cities which is the sense of community, and that is simply because in towns you know every single person that has some impact in your daily live.

My family is from a small town who moved to the city right before I was born and there is something my mom said to me when I was a kid that got stuck in my mind which is the awareness of death, in big cities is like people don't die because you don't know about it. Although it may sound macabre I think that knowing about death helps me better understand being alive.
It's very rare I get frustrated with landing pages, but holy guacamole... is it so hard to link to demo websites? Is it so hard to provide a quick demo of a landing page? What are those lousy screenshots on the "Built with Helix" section?

The only one I could make out was blog.adobe.com - and by the looks of it that was no small feat to make such a conversion happen.

Very unhappy, even more so seeing Adobe trying to get away with a barebones product explanation.

EDIT: Ok, after going through the comments in this thread - it looks like Adobe doesn't even intend to have this site published yet. That's my impression of it also.
I didn't say that, but I don't see the waveform they use documented and I didn't see it documented how to make your own and/or replace the one the dev kit is using.

It seems you think I'm wrong, great! Please share how and why.
This project kind of reminds me of "the eye" [1] which had a _huge_ collection of computer science and hacking related books.

Somewhere around last year they had datacenters burning down due to a natural disaster, but I'm hoping they can recover. It's an amazing project.

Brackets was actually my favourite code editor on Mac and it was discontinued by Adobe. It left a bad taste in my mouth. It seems that they are trying to replace it with "Phoenix" which is entirely web-based and kinda seems to defeat the purpose.

It looks like brackets may have some others keeping it alive.

The project helix page comes off quite hilarious on mobile for me. "these aren't the droids you're looking for" followed closely by an uncaptioned screenshot and then a long scroll of a blank orange canvas only to be greeted at the bottom with "You can go about your business."
And the beauty of not advertising that if an accident is coming the system deactivates itself to avoid any legal responsibilities. Autopilot that deactivates itself. Nice
That still makes no sense. Video games existed 20 years ago, are they not software for consumers?
The story is a commentary on how wonderful the people living in small towns are.

And, well, I disagree with the premise--- because it seems to deny that most people are wonderful everywhere, not just in small towns. Most people are also capable of terrible things in groups, too.

A whole lot of people have had to flee small towns to avoid the kind of disgrace and judgment that only a really small community can give. And, yes, small town America is, for the most part, politically regressive.
I actually think that dropping the speed limits is part of the strategy (in urban roads near speeds have been changed from 30 to 20) is to make the roads safer for self-driving cars.

So, I think self-driving is going to be a slow experience.

Maybe once everyone has been slowed down, they'll bring out a premium self-driving product, where is you are rich your car is allowed to move more quickly.
Make sure your kid knows what's the normal level of noise around the house.

When you put them for a nap, don't be intentionally way too quiet. Just make normal noises. When it's bedtime, it's OK to watch movies at the normal volume. They'll get used to it.

They'll even get used to it still in utero. Our dog used to bark a bunch and did so while my wife was pregnant. Never fazed the kid even once when they were born. Not even if the dog barked at the doorbell or something literally next to their face.

Other dogs though, that got a response. But us watching movies or the dog barking was stored as "normal noise, no need to worry" in the brain.
The nationalization of news and politics in a country of 330 million people is toxic. We’re one country but we don’t share a single set of values. Even the notion of “blue America” and “red America” is misleading. What would be unremarkable in San Francisco would raise eyebrows in Baltimore.

I noticed this acutely living in Atlanta for the better part of a decade. Politics was not a big deal when I lived there. Atlanta was “blue” and the rest of the state was “red” but politics was forward looking and productive. The mayor when I was there, Shirley Franklin, was truly put the city above partisanship. A Democrat, she endorsed Mary Norwood, an independent, in 2017, because the Democratic candidate was a protege of a mayor she believed to have been corrupt: https://www.wabe.org/former-atlanta-mayor-shirley-franklin-e.... She waved aside criticism suggesting that she (a Black woman) should have endorsed the Black Democratic candidate instead of Norwood, a white woman.

Then in 2018 all hell broke loose when Georgia’s governor’s race became the subject of national attention. The state became a battleground in a proxy war between New York and Mississippi. Racialist rhetoric reached a fever pitch in the New York Times and Washington Post (but notably, the Atlanta Journal Constitution was far more prudent). They made Georgia out to be an unreformed Confederate backwater, instead of a state that’s the destination for huge numbers of Black residents leaving California, Illinois, and New York, attracted by plentiful jobs, low taxes, and an excellent public university system. The national media completely misrepresented Georgia and the people in it to the rest of the country.
Ask HN: Are there any remote job board for jobs without any location barrier?
When I was an assembly programmer, I knew C could help me

When I was a C programmer, I knew OOP could help me

When I was a JavaScript programmer, I knew TypeScript could help me.

I don't know how functional programming can help me, but I'll keep trying to find a reason because people say it can
I wonder what people are actually falling for this. The homepage actually has "4K Ultra HD" advertised two lines above "8K HDR". Aside from the blockchain stuff I don't see any technical details other than a bunch of programming languages and vague controller features you'll find in knockoff PlayStation controllers.

The website has no details on games, tech, or platform, but it knows exactly what cryptocurrency platforms it'll use. It looks like the creators don't actually know what TouchID is because they seem to assume that they can just use it for their console (I expect them to add a normal fingerprint scanner to the controller).

In theory, this should all be quite doable. Throw SteamOS onto a PC in a special box, add some blockchain software, find some devs that are willing to write more blockchain crapware to market your platform. I don't think it's a viable business, but it's technically feasible.

This company ain't it, though. It's a vague idea and a 3D render of a console used to sell some kind of NFTs to the biggest suckers they can find in the crypto space.
You can't fix a dish that has rotten ingredients. You have to throw the dish away and start over.
I believe local news tends to be a more 'news' and a bit less 'narrative'.

I also believe that the more local the news is, the more relatable.

From Canada, I can get PBS/NPR Vermont, and the sheer quaintness of the local issues from Burlington Vt. I mean it feels like going back in time but in a good way. 'The New Playhouse' opened up, the 'Fireworks Display Will Be Here' etc. - it's the complete opposite of Cable news and Twitter, which is incendiary and ideological.

National narrative news satisfied an ostensible intellectual aspect of our orientation, but I'm not sure it's useful in the magnitude we consume it.
The other answer was awesome but here’s another one: Number of registers.

Of course internally the CPU has some huge number of registers. But it matters how many registers the machine code can speak of, and arm64 has 32 while x86 has 16. Consequently, x86 machine code has more cases of data flow obscured by spills to the stack. In a very sophisticated cpu, that might mean more decoding work to try to reconstruct the original data flow, or more likely (what’ll probably happen in most cpus), those spills will limit how wide the cpu can go.

I don’t know what limits you more in practice - the smaller number of registers or the variable length instructions. X86 throws at least one more limiter just for good measure: the TSO memory model, which causes memory effects to have dependencies between them in cases where they wouldn’t on arm.
For the state of the art in scheduling, and for highest performance in context switching, look into seL4[0].

Lots of cool papers to read.

Worth noting that "no evidence of disease" is not the same as cured. My mother was diagnosed with a moderately-aggressive terminal metastatic breast cancer and given months to live, but enjoyed a few years of high quality of life after her doctor cleared her with "no evidence of disease" thanks to an aggressive chemotherapy protocol. That was about 15 years ago. She passed just under 7 years from diagnosis.
As a hint, any time you read "just" in mathematics, replace it with "exactly". That may make it clearer.
There are limits on what lambda calculus can model though. For example, it doesn't model IO very well. So, these days, lambda calculus is only one of the parts of maths that informs functional programming.
WASM is still fairly niche, some immediate/near term use cases might be: advanced animation (beyond CSS), 3D/VR, low-latency / low level work e.g. webUSB. MAYBE some very forward looking web-apps/hybrid apps.

There's no disputing that v8 has come a long way, so likely it's not going to be that much of a perf gain, more interesting to me is bringing more advanced languages (such as Rust) into play, great and all as TypeScript is.
Mitt Romney is the author, not Mitch.

As a writer, I must say that this always makes me feel sad. If I complain about piracy, I get modded down. It's pretty clear to me that a few people with the power mod down any anti-piracy sentiment. I'm almost certainly going to get modded down now.

Many of the others have posted some good explanations that tie the pro-piracy people to the idea that information wants to be free. In other words, asking people to pay is somehow kind of equivalent to censorship.

It's worth noting that the pro-piracy vibe is only for pirating the work of writers, musicians or movie makers. Not pirating software. If someone suggests simply stealing someone else's code -- or even just ignoring an open source license -- people jump all over that person. The programmers stick together. But the artists are in another tribe so it's okay to rip them off.
I think it still bears repeating..

I've seen projects fail or take 10x as long due to choosing to go with k8s day 1 instead of starting with even a basic VM.

It may be easy enough to get k8s itself setup. However, without an in-house expert sat within the dev team, all the access/permissions to resources to/from the cluster were hell. NFS disk Read/Write, S3 Read/Write/List, RDS DB access, Kafka access, corp network access to web server within k8s.. and then all the daemons you need to actually be able to monitor your logs/health of apps/etc.

Each of these things in isolation would be no big deal, except that they'd take a different subset of 10 different infra/devops team members 1-2 weeks to sort the first time, in some fragile manner that frequently fell over.

All of these for an application that was replacing something basically owned by 1 dude as 10% of his job, running on a 10 year old server under cron, with a big disk attached.
Germany recalls 59,000 Teslas over global 'software glitch'
I have witnessed something quite similar. During the flash-floods in 2021 in Germany, locals in the Ahr region absolutely rose to the occasion. Farmers were evacuating people in head-high water with their tractors during the night, local restaurants were already providing hot food and water the next morning wherever they could reach, pharmacies were loading whatever they had available on ATVs to somehow get much-needed medicine down precarious mudpaths. Local construction companies were already clearing rubble and building emergency bridges out of it. One Excavator was just basically standing in the middle of the river and ferrying people and rescue partys across. The local racetrack basically just organized everything while politicians were still playing the blame game. When our local firebrigade was officially pulled back from active duty because we lost one of ours during rescue operations in the first day, basically everyone just went down again and just tried to do whatever was possible. Absolutely stunning what people will do when they are face to face with disaster. I freely admit that I was crying like a little girl when I first saw the endless columns of Bundeswehr, THW, Fire Brigades, Farmers, basically everyone who could just streaming to help people they never met but were neighbors and friends for me.

Sorry for the rambling, but I am still not emotionally disconnected enough from it to concisely talk about it.
Is it even "local news" when it's owned by some corporation like Sinclair?

Qualcomm prioritizes cost over performance and it shows. Look at AMD for a performance comparison.
I simply don’t believe this is true enough to matter. If it was a simple case of paying ASML X billions for their equipment, then we’d see more TSMC competitors.

It is entirely plausible TSMC co-developed some of ASML’s IP and has exclusivity - or that the tech to make a working process out of ASML machines is intrinsically hard.
I can believe this but also believe that our "most advanced ML systems" aren't up to the autonomous driving mark yet.
Wonder how it compares with sony audio recorder which do raw.
I've seen K8S recommended for single server installs with a couple of services. i.e. people jumping on instead of vanilla Docker/Docker Compose.
> What if it is engaged and still decides to run a red light?

The Teslas don't drive particularly aggressively, so you're quite aware ahead of time if it's not slowing down to stop for a red light.

> Or to suddenly brake to a full stop on a highway so you get rear-ended?

This is harder to deal with as, if it happened, it could be very sudden. That being said, if someone rear ends you for stopping, it's their fault (unless you braked in bad faith, like a brake check). Not that it would make you feel much better if you got injured or killed in such an incident.

On the other hand, many manufacturers have automatic emergency braking systems that occasionally incorrectly brake, and humans occasionally incorrectly emergency brake too. I have emergency braked due to a plastic bag blowing across the highway. Tesla on the whole seems to perform well compared to most vehicles AEB systems.
The demonetization was extraordinarily bad at doing that. Turns out when you demonetize currency, the rich and corrupt can find ways around it, while it's the poor who lose their meager savings.
Does this include the suburbs of Las Vegas? A quick google search gives a report that the whole state of Nevada as a whole has increased their water use (edit: at least for domestic usage). This is in line with most of the population moving out of city centers as people moved into the suburbs that has happened for the last few decades.[0]

Anyway, the fact that the water use of the state as a whole has increased throws out any suggestion that "here, this one segment of the state has decreased their usage" as if that is a serious argument against the rise of water consumption being an issue.

[0] It's a report with data until 1995 but lucky for us it compares levels with 1970 and it did increase significantly

I’m not going to be mad at the CEO with a sense of humor. No one was hurt, seems like they’ll pay for it. Pretty rare scenario.

I feel like we’ve lost a lot of our will to fail, and also joke about it.
I just don’t understand this type of article. If you understand how to use and deploy kubernetes and you have confidence in it… you should use it. What you spend in extra infra costs is trivial.

…and if you don’t understand how to use and deploy kubernetes just what in the fresh hell are you doing? Stick with technology you know and then move to kubernetes later if or when you need it.

We’re a relatively small shop, and we’re using k8s. All of our senior stuff know and understand it. The pipeline is fully automated. If we prematurely optimizing anything it’s developer output over saving money.
YES!

"It's easy to setup" speaks nothing to how much effort it takes to maintain.
Ask HN: How many of you delibrately wear a watch that isn't a smart watch?
When the Apple Watch first came out, I swore I'd buy one as soon as the technology matured after a few iterations-I had always loved the idea of wearables, and the Apple Watch really seemed to hit a sweet spot.

Fast forward several years, and I'm very disgruntled with the idea of smart/wearable/IOT/etc devices-the fact that they're expensive and require replacing regularly like a phone, require regular charging, the fact that I'd sometimes like to be alone without any outside connectivity, etc just really turns me off. Also having had a few instances of natural disasters to deal with over the past few years makes me yearn for something just a lot less dependent on regular charging than a smart watch.

So, Ive gone back to (for the time being) ordering a good old Timex Ironman as a cheap standby that will last quite a while and do what it needs to do. I'll look into upgrading to something a bit fancier and possibly mechanical if the Timex experiment works out. I'm just wondering if I'm alone in this, or maybe I'm tapping into a (very slight) anti smart device sentiment that's only prevalent in really tech centric communities.
I find this very hard to believe. Do you have any links to official state data?
Tesla Noted as Part of $700M US EV Charging Manufacturing Capacity Boost

Is that more an indictment of ROCm immaturity or of PyTorch/TensorFlow unwillingness to support it?
SteamOS is supposed to be(come) available to the general public and there are boards for sale out there that are practically the Xbox/PlayStation boards without the dedicated hardware running on a Ryzen chip.

This project markets itself as an 8K HDR console, so I don't think it's trying to get into the same market the Ouya tried to get into. It appears to be an Xbox for people who own NFTs.
Can't speak for other platforms but Hugo can[1] and, IIRC, a fair few of the themes do this for you and give an easy "turn mathjax on" option in the settings.

Nah, I'll just blame Spotify.

There are services that let you download to your local storage, whatever you buy from them. Bandcamp is the obvious example, but in the past there was eMusic and even iTunes. Spotify could do it, but they just don't want to. How else are they going to help themselves to your wallet every month?

Sure streaming services want to give me anything I desire...anyhting except allow me to download an audio file that I can keep on my system. Then I wouldn't have to give a crap about whether Spotify still had the rights to it.
I'd like to know why other adults who did not sign up to part of a distributed beta test are overlooked in your calculus.

What is striking to me about the discourse amongst American elites is that they easily otherize their own countrymen, and swallow hook, line, and sinker any story about the "others" that help confirm their smug beliefs. If you had 24/7 coverage in the news about how X group in another country is bad, you may pause and think this coverage is a little one-sided. But against your imaginary political enemies, you cackle and laugh in glee as you pat yourselves on the back for not being them.

Go outside, travel, and meet real people sharing the wonderful country you have. You may surprise yourself at just how normal everyone really is.
I’m not trying to be particularly pedantic but that still doesn’t make WinAppSdk built on UWP; it’s mainly an expanded and cleaned-up collection of first-party cross-language wrappers/bridges/ffi to WinRT to hide the COM underpinnings plus unify some of the disparate Win32 vs WinRT APIs.

As you know, WinRT predates UWP. UWP as tech isn’t strictly defined but it includes things that are out of the scope of WinRT itself and aren’t available via WinAppSDK even now that UWP is finally, officially dead.
That’s a bold statement.

I don’t think we really know how much of the lead is due to Apple’s design.

I would bet it’s more due to fab than design, but the design plays a nontrivial role.
>"This is a crisis for our democracy and our society," said Penelope Muse Abernathy, a visiting professor at Medill and primary author of the report, in a statement.

Why is everything a crisis now? The crying of wolf gets tiresome and it makes it easy to tune out, probably to the detriment of local newspapers.
