That’s exactly what I dont understand. It’s so ingrained. In my apartment complex’s (Indian residing in India here) WhatsApp group, we’ll have people whose WhatsApp numbers are from the Middle East but they’ll be fulminating about Muslims like the rules of irony don’t apply to them.

I just don’t understand what people are so angry about.

Everything is going as well as it could in a billion strong parliamentary democracy but people are still mad about old wounds.
> This thing is going to sell like hotcakes. The combination of single core CPU and graphics performance, device thinness, battery life in this laptop is unmatched.

Well, except for the small problem that the M1 air exists and is still on sale. Same single core CPU performance and near enough multicore and GPU performance. And it's cheaper by a not insignificant amount.

Which is pretty much why Linus Tech Tips wasn't a fan. If you want an Air, get the M1 version and save a buck. If you want performance, kinda hard to argue with the huge upgrades you get from the not that much more expensive 14" Pro.
This looks like incremental performance work rather than a ground-up new approach, like an optimising compiler or JIT...
Ask HN: Why are tech people obsessed with anti-fragility?
It seems like technology people are enthralled with the idea of anti-fragility, which is especially ironic given how much fragility is created from their efforts to build systems that gain from disorder.

Is this just observer bias or is there more of a focus on the idea in tech?
Heavy handed? They are straight up barbaric not democratic. More similar to China then democratic countries
If IRC had followed every trendy chat feature it might not be 10x smaller than it was when I last used it too, in fairness

Not even using comical exaggeration either, I'd say the user counts are pretty dead on 10x less now, give or take a few thou. Back then EFNet, Undernet, DALNet had like 100k users each. Barely getting over the 10k hump these days.

> You might like pinging people so they get a notification on their phone, but they might not like being on the other end of your ping :)

Notification settings aren't stuck in 1988 too, if you don't want to be pinged in 2022 that's on you :P
Python has actually had concurrency since about 2019: https://docs.python.org/3/library/asyncio.html. Having used it a few times, it seems fairly sane, but tbf my experience with concurrency in other languages is fairly limited.

edit: ray https://github.com/ray-project/ray is also pretty easy to use and powerful for actual parallelism

Someone pointed out that the modern world is an attention economy. If I can get your attention, I can change your mind. If I can change your mind, I can take your money.
For what it's worth--when I had an 8GB Air, decoding video in a browser didn't seem to really impact performance. Plugging in an external monitor, though, was not a fun time.
What a surprise! /s

But on a more serious note, how will the money stored in the "FDIC-insured" omnibus accounts handled, assuming that the Chapter 11 bankruptcy becomes a Chapter 7 bankruptcy case?
A perfectly moral person might? But I also think there’s a difference of kind in dealing with tragic one-off events (Such as someone getting run over by a trolly) and dealing with normal course of life problems (illness and bodily degradation over time).
I think we need to separate IRC the client from IRC the protocol. Everything you just described is possible with a sufficiently advanced client without any changes to the protocol. In fact, some clients already do what you describe.
DisplayLink*

I don't have any personal preference (I'm fine with a big single monitor/ultrawide) but from reading around and listening to other experience you're likely to hit performance/compatibility issues with that since it's a software solution.
O'Reilly's Webmaster in a Nutshell was my bible in 1997, along with the RFCs: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/webmaster-in-a/15659232...

The ORA Nutshell books were a great series for learning many technologies around the turn of the millennium.

> 1) Read the source. Websites were simple. There was no JavaScript or CSS.

Yes, but also in the following years, js and css were simple too. I learned js and css (well html as well I guess, but that took like... a day) initally by reading website source, before minification and obfuscation, webpack, SASS, etc.

It's a beautiful thing to use a web application where all the internals are visible and tweakable. These days I try to develop with as little obfuscation as possible, but it sure is going against the grain. See https://dev.to/open-wc/developing-without-a-build-1-introduc... and Snowpack.
Also, to be more precise than the original article, Volkswagen AG is the parent company, which owns a number of brands, including Volkswagen and Audi.
Juul was especially targeted by the FDA as Juul's advertising and marketing was specifically targeting the younger crowd. There are other products on the market that are similar to Juul (i.e., RJ Reynolds vape products), but the marketing appears to be different in tone than Juul.

On another note but relevant, there is an interesting conversation that is yet to be had with the Supreme Courts recent ruling on the EPAs overreach of executive power...the same argument could be made with the FDA.
The evo-devo folks are unravelling this as we speak. It's an amazing generative/feedback process!
I'm still not entirely convinced this wasn't an inside job (or entirely made up) and they just put a nice pot of money away somewhere. Wouldn't be without precedent in the wonderful world of crypto...
That’s wild, do we typically see such gains in dot releases? I don’t remember the last time this happened.

Great news.
>The point of Juul and similar vaping products is they are a way to get people off cigarettes,

The point of Juul is to make money, sure you can use it to stop smoking cigarettes but there are also people starting vaping without ever having smoked cigarettes.
When I read it it didn’t seem like it argued that the time between now and then was ‘false’. VALIS argues that the time and events between now and then are constantly being ‘laminated’ (PKD’s term) onto the long now. Iirc Horselover Fat develops the ability to see the layers of history laminated onto the present and concludes that the Empire never ended. Caveat lector, I haven’t read the other two books in the VALIS trilogy.
Cool improvement but changes very little when Python is x100 times slower than other GC languages.
IIRC, California just takes a thumbprint, so obviously don't use that thumb while committing crimes and you're fine. OTOH, I got the full set of fingerprints (in ink!) and affirmed an oath to uphold the constitutions of the US and California as a condition of working for a school district, so I'm not available for crimes anymore.

Not sure what you mean as RAM and SSD prices have been steadily dropping.

Comparable pc laptops have not increased in price nearly as much. Ryzen 6000 laptops, while scare, do not appear more expensive than last gen.
This is really incredible work.

The "What's New" page has an item-by-item breakdown of each performance tweak and its measured effect[1]. In particular, PEP 659 and the call/frame optimizations stand out to me as very clever and a strong foundation for future improvements.

In addition to all of that, MagSafe is back as well.
It’s a shame too. In my experience LinkedIn has been great for job hunting, indeed et al. were worthless time sinks for me. I want to keep it just for the ability to job hunt and get results but as you said…it’s a risk too.
I think the media and tech writes overestimate the efficacy of spear phishing attacks. There is tons of research involved in finding suitable targets and then planning out the attack, such as the exploit, fake websites, fake emails, and other ingredients.
I don't wonder. For me it seems pretty clear.

I believe the reason is that python does not need any low-hanging fruits to have people use it, which is why they're a priority for so many other projects out there. Low-hanging fruits attract people who can't reach higher than that.

When talking about low-hanging fruits, it's important to consider who they're for. The intended target audience. It's important to ask ones self who grabs for low-hanging fruits and why they need to be prioritized.

And with that in mind, I think the answer is actually obvious: Python never required the speed, because it's just so good.

The language is so popular, people search for and find ways around its limitations, which most likely actually even increases its popularity, because it gives people a lot of space to tinker in.
At best you could extend that argument to the karman line. Surely the atmosphere is considered part of earth (assuming the narrow definition of world to be planet)

Surely I am not departing the world by taking a flight to orlando. Otherwise, only subterranean servers would count.
And unfortunately you are getting downvoted :(
If it's 25% faster then the point versions should be (rounded) 3.88.
I have used asyncio in anger quite a bit, and have to say that it seems elegant at first and works very well for some use cases.

But when you try to do things that aren't a map-reduce or Pool.map() pattern, it suddenly becomes pretty warty. E.g. scheduling work out to a processpool executor is ugly under the hood and IMO ugly syntactically as well.
Your analysis of the cost-benefits is mostly sound, but I think in the case of programming it breaks down. People's instincts are to think that now that they have become expert, they shouldn't need to be a neophyte again. This works in most fields, but then you see programmers at age 35 realizing that the pool of jobs for their skillset is shrinking, and their labor market leverage is shrinking with it. Yes, there are those last few COBOL gigs, but they only become lucrative after 90%+ of the COBOL programmers have given up and got out.

This is likely always true, but in most fields the skill remains in demand for centuries; wainwright may not pay like it used to (or maybe it does, I don't know) but the decline in demand is slow enough that nobody has to bail out, as long as youngsters aren't continuing to plow into that field it's fine. In programming, the hotness of 10 years ago may already be at its peak, and if you're not willing to move on when you're in your 30's to learn something new, you have sentenced yourself to decades of working in a shrinking job market, which is kind of soul-crushing. Nothing to make your current job intolerable like thinking there's nowhere else you can go.

So, while Lang Lang may not choose to pick up the violin, it is probably fine, because the pianoforte is going to be a good skillset for the rest of his life. The harpsichord players who refused to move on to piano or organ may not have had a crisis in mid-career, because the transition from harpsichord to piano was slow enough to happen over generations. Programming tech changes faster than that (for better or worse).
Surely the FBI doesn't need this app that only appeals to people with children to tap every phone in the country.
I use PDF Expert on MacOS for its editing and markup abilities; built-in browser viewers aren’t good for that. What should I do?
> Democracy only works with an informed electorate

Even more fundamentally, an electorate that isn't going hungry.
I think it would be wise for people to look at philosophers of old and see what kind of thoughts they penned on democratic governments/democratic rule. It's quite eye opening that a lot of the core issues have been contested for a very, very long time. Not everyone thought it was the greatest thing.
I wish there was something like llvm for scripting languages. Imagine if python, php, javascript, dart or ruby would not interpret the code themself, but compile to an interpretable common language, where you could just plug in the fastest interpreter there is for the job.
How is the fact that something is no longer true "irrelevant"? Also it's apple and oranges to take a rule from Louisville, KY and apply it to NYC, they are very different places.

IF this person's point could have stood on it's own then they should have used a rule from Louisville, a building from Louisville, and a map showing the space from Louisville. Taking a rule that doesn't exist anymore, transplanting it to a different city and building is disingenuous at best.
I'm agreeing with your other other replies, but with one caveat.
Each service needs its own isolated place to store data. This programming and integration layer concern is very important. What's less important is having those data stores physically isolated from each other, which becomes a performance and cost concern.
If your database has the ability to isolate schemas / namespaces then you can share the physical DB as long as the data is only used by a single service. I've seen a lot of microservices laid out with different write/read side concerns. These are often due to scaling concerns, as read-side and write-side often have very different scaling needs. This causes data coupling between these two services, but they together form the facade of a single purpose service like any single microservices for outside parties.

Additionally, you can probably get by having low criticality reports fed through direct DB access as well. If you can afford to have them broken after an update for a time, it's probably easier than needing to run queries through the API.
> An additional commandment I can think of is that the crime has to be something significant, like a murder. I wouldn’t want to read a story about a detective solving a petty crime or finding a lost dog.

Here's a demonstration of some example attacks using pdf: executing arbitrary js, and connecting to a samba server: https://www.sentinelone.com/blog/malicious-pdfs-revealing-te...

I'm not sure about this attack specifically, though, and in Ronin's post mortem they aren't really talking about that: https://roninblockchain.substack.com/p/back-to-building-roni....

To some extent, the PDF viewer/OS doesn't matter. A dedicated and well resourced attacker like the Lazarus Group will find holes in all of them. The "right" move here would have been for the employee not to download the compromised pdf, and short of that, for the IT Security team at Ronin to quickly detect the weird traffic that resulted and isolate the validators to prevent a compromise of their critical assets.
I'm not sure I fully understand your response, but I'd say this to illustrate my perspective on the problem. Go hang out in a bookstore or library for a while and eavesdrop on the help desk.

You'll see a number of interactions take this sort of form.

"Hey I'm looking for this book my friend showed me last month. It's a big book with a cover that's got some white letters. It's a love story set in England and it has a great action scene at a farm. I don't remember the author's name, but one of his other books was a movie that had a dog in it."
Suck on a big bar magnet!

Really, that would do. Better still would be an electro magnetic retainer. Then the particles cloud be captured and returned to a container.

I doubt iron nano particles would be reusable, but you wouldn't want them down the sink as they would likely be nucleation points for rust

Is anyone familiar with the health consequences of inhaling or otherwise ingesting nano iron?
> Personally I don't update my LinkedIn until I start looking for a new job.

Perhaps semi-off topic, but note there are companies that sell software (spyware?) to HR departments that specifically trolls LinkedIn looking for when employees update their LinkedIn profiles as a sign they're looking for a new job. This may or may not be a good thing depending on your position, perspective, or company, but just be aware it exists.
I see your point, but it directly conflicts with the effort many people put into producing extremely fast libraries for specific purposes, such as web frameworks (benchmarked extensively), ORMs and things like json and date parsing, as seen in the excellent ciso8601 [1] for example.

I remember this! I got finger printed at some event where police had a booth next to the fire dept (who were espousing bike helmets and teaching kids how to properly wear one etc, actually useful safety info). It wasn't until I was a teenager when my first car was broken into and the speakers stolen that I realized how useless that endeavor must be. The officer who responded (my first time calling the police, not running from them!) was pretty upfront with me. As he took finger prints from the area where the door was jimmied, I was like "cool, finger printing!" and he told me this wouldn't likely lead to anything. First he said "You'll never get your speakers back, even if we found them we wouldn't call you, they'd probably be in a lot of all kinds of other stolen stuff and it's impossible to sort through and return stolen items." Bummer number one. Then he explained that the finger prints would only be useful if the thief got picked up for doing something else, he wasn't going to go run the prints and try to find the person etc like I was probably imagining (I was, I admit, thinking that's what happened when they took finger prints - thanks TV). Standing in my driveway I flashed back immediately to that finger printing booth where my parents were told it would help if I got kidnapped, and thought "Oh great, I'm in the system." Not that I had a life of crime in mind, but the internet of the early 90s really gave me a healthy distrust of being tracked, logged, etc. (Oh if we only knew the hellscape ahead.)
Terrible UX and UI. Bitwarden needs to make it more responsive.
The JVM is quite good at emitting SIMD instructions if you write straightforward loops with primitives. The forthcomming Vector API will open up more possibilities.
In practice, yes. It would be the same end result for both: one person not caring and the other caring too much.

But you're right: the parasocial relationship makes it different, and it is indeed fraud.

If a friend did that to me I would also get angry too. But on the other hand, I would probably figure out if a friend of mine ever does it.
This is a good point. Still, apps generally get updated frequently. So they could change it at any time, which is why it would be nice if others could audit it at any time.
I would say that in an age of social media, and in the context of the US, the _perception_ of a tyrannical government is far more dangerous than an actual tyrannical government. There's no shortage of Americans who somehow consider Biden to be a tyrant, so it would follow that the risk of another January 6 (but worse) is extremely high.
This is probably the wrong comparison to make: Python is two orders of magnitude slower than compiled GC languages, but it's in the same order of magnitude as most other interpreted GC languages.

(It actually changes a whole lot, because there's a whole lot of code already out there written in Python. 25% faster is still 25% faster, even if the code would have been 100x faster to begin with in another language.)

I recall realizing that, when I looked at my past programming and was somewhat embarrassed, that was really a way of saying I had learned something significant since then. I suppose if you look at your own work from years before and see nothing you would do differently now, it must mean the opposite.

Totally agree on the advantages of youthful arrogance (in this context).
More magnets?
People have consumed Tobacco (I assume in the search of Nicotine) for centuries. There is obviously some human enjoyment and satisfaction in doing so. Transitioning from more harmful smoking to less harmful 'smoking' is good. Letting people choose unhealthy things to enjoy is good (assuming a decent risk calculation). The antivape movement seems so weird amongst the general social themes in the US to open up weed and in more fringe cases decriminalize more drugs.
Reminds me of the short time when everyone used trillian or miranda to have ICQ, MSN and whatever else at once. Guess what, these protocols are all gone know, along with these multi-clients. Why keep stuff alive that's on the way out? Just move on.
I typically split any single main.c app into two parts: a library which depends on no shared State and a driver program that wraps around it. It's a lot harder to build than a monolithic main.c but in my experience it allows more people to build off of your application.

While "ownership" is often interpreted in terms of value-flows and control, the model of Ikea's corporate structure indicates that actually modeling value-flows and control would be more helpful than using "ownership" as a proxy.

IKEA’s organizational structure might sound a bit confusing at first, but I looked into it to see how its business model works so that you could gain clarity on that.

Put it shortly, IKEA as a brand comprises two separate owners. INGKA Holding B.V. owns the IKEA Group, the holding the group.

At the same time that is held by the Stichting INGKA Foundation, which is the owner of the whole Group. IKEA Group is not the owner of the brand, which is managed by Inter IKEA Systems B.V., part of Inter IKEA B.V. that is the real owner of the IKEA Concept.

Thus, IKEA Group is a franchisee that pays 3% of royalties to Inter IKEA Systems.
