Is there an objective reason to prefer RISC-V over some POWERx generation?

If you were designing a chip to go into a high-end-ish product, would basing it on POWER cause you any greater difficulty than RISC-V?
I can tell you've never lived in a corporate owned mega apartment complex and had a maintenance issue
And looks like the clickbait is working too, this is one of the top posts of the day already. Bit ironic that OP is condemning dark patterns like iAP, when clickbait is a dark pattern itself
I get it now, and feel dumb - the idiom "gunning for", etc. But my brain instantly latched onto it as a noun, and kept imagining some feature of RISC-V that maybe "shoots" code into other chips.
A major aspect of parenting teenagers is about establishing boundaries and instilling an appreciation of consequences. I was simply pointing out that if the adult teenager plays the "it's my computer" / "it's my life" card, then the parents have cards they can play.

Letting a child, adult or otherwise, play video games 8 hours a day, is not going to have a positive outcome for the child. I have great sympathy. We were very permissive parents and our kids were not in a good space, mid-teens. We now have much better relationships with our kids, and they with each other. Fortunately we could afford counseling, coaching and group coaching. Establishing boundaries and consequences was step one.
Why would you expect someone who isn't willing to sacrifice their comfort for a $10/mo incentive to sacrifice their comfort for a $0/mo incentive? Deciding "I don't like this person's ethics" doesn't mean "this person is suddenly inconsistent": you need to check your knee-jerk responses :/.
Hi.
Check any nano instance. It says it has 0 RAM but it should be 0.5 gib.
Probably not exactly what your looking for, but our home has a number of lights on timers that turn on at roughly dusk and turn off at our nominal bed time. I adjust them a few times a year as the days get longer and shorter. My wife of 40 years, an otherwise smart and wise woman, cannot comprehend why we don't need to change the timers by an hour when Daylight Savings Time starts and ends. I tell her that the sun doesn't know what time it is, but it doesn't help. Twice every year.
Is this really true or was this just true in Europe?

I was born in the 90s but even I remember my dad using dos before win 95. It was only later that I learned about amiga and atari st and all the wiki articles and blogs today seem to paint the picture that dos dominated everything from the moment it appeared.

Should specify, I'm American.
That's essentially the system I use. I have it set to turn the furnace on for an hour in the morning right before I wake up. Other than that, I manually set the temperature when I'm at home over the course of the day. It automatically resets at noon, 4pm, and 11pm back to 63 degrees, so if I don't turn it off before leaving, it'll still reset pretty soon.
This device could have tremendous implications. I know non-profits who get food from supermarkets and restaurants and distribute it to poor families. The idea they could be 100% certain the food is still good could in effect make more food available.
> It is so thoroughly not the same that I can usually tell when people come from cities simply based on how nervous they are.

I think, at least in today's culturally polarized environment, there are a lot of people who would be understandably nervous and on guard traveling to rural America, and it has nothing to do with what crime looks like in their home city.
Interesting if they separate it and it becomes part of his body of work. I hope not to be judged by the discards of my work, I wonder if this should be an artist's right ?
No, it's the same. I think the amount of upstream contributions (i.e. patches) that the entity sends offsets some of the ethicality deficit. At some point it would even go positive if they send enough upstream fixes.

Obviously this is entirely my opinion :-D

There's also an impossible-to-measure factor in the form of eco-system benefit though. For example, I would never have paid for RHEL had I not entered into the eco-system through Fedora and CentOS. So while RH didn't make money from my CentOS usage, it did eventually make them money because I bought RHEL later when it was worth it. I don't know how you would calculate that, but it does offset ethicality deficit somewhat as well
I can name all kinds of sexist statements I've heard first-hand in just the past few months (none, I might add, which incurred any consequence). I bet you can too. Sexism, as an example of an "x-ism", is endemic in tech. If you must have an example let's just go with the Damore memo.

You're the one saying that there are some sacred truths which cannot be uttered on pain of ostracism. Citation required, because I can't prove or demonstrate a negative. I would direct you to "Basic Logic", an introductory textbook by Raymond J. McCall.
NFT marketplace OpenSea lays off 20 percent of its staff
An interestingly more literal use of the analogy. I like it.
Wow, this is amazing. I was about to leave a comment that the vibe search didn't make much sense, but on the third refresh it started working incredibly well, and giving me the precise fonts I expected. Awesome! But not sure why it gave me bad fonts the first 2 times.
I think Twitter's a red herring. IIRC, in the UK the prime minister is chosen by the MPs from the majority party. It's not just the ones on Twitter, though Twitter might be one of the channels some of those members use for rhetoric to influence the final decision. That rhetoric will happen somewhere, Twitter or no.

Also when it gets down to it, in an election the ultimate outcome is decided by the people who are on the fence, which is much smaller that the whole group.
Awesome blog post! Writing web apps in C? That doesn't sound crazy to me. If someone told me they were doing that, then I'd just assume they're trying to compete with Google Search for the title of the world's lowest-latency high-performance scalable website. If pledge() makes you feel less guilty about going for the gold, then I'd say that's a good thing. You might also be interested in Cosmopolitan Libc's ASAN and UBSAN support. It does things like print memory diagrams with backtraces with malloc origin tracing if you do something like overrun a buffer or use a piece of memory after it's freed. ASAN has been one of the most important tools that Google used to find security issues in Chrome. So I put a lot of work into implementing greenfield support for it in Cosmo. In fact, ASAN is so important, that even languages like Rust need to use it, since it makes the unsafe keyword safe! So please try Cosmo's implementation and let me know what you think. I believe Cosmo has the highest quality ASAN implementation that's available to the open source community.
Interesting. I had no idea there was a name for this behavior. Thanks for the link.
One of these is not like the other.

I've been in a few IM Pei buildings, and even worked in one. They were pleasant places to be and functional. I have the utmost respect for him. He's had a few buildings where the function was art (e.g. galleries), so they didn't follow that, but it made sense. He's had a few failures too.

But on the whole, I have the utmost respect for him as an architect.
I have a cheap chromebook with much worse specs than a pixelbook and it has been extremely reliable.

The linux containers are slow to start but that only applies to the first time you run a linux app after restarting the computer or logging out/in. Otherwise they work great.

Android apps are more of a mixed bag.

The bigger problem is that PWAs don't quite seem ready and Chrome apps are deprecated so there's no good way to make apps that specifically target chrome os right now.
1) Public transport works today. True self driving is an unknown amount of time away, and IMHO it is a foolish mistake to assume it is definitely very soon or definitely very long before it works. It could be a year away or decades.

2) Even with self driving, there would be some efficiency gains from a bus, especially in places dense enough that there just isn't space for a car per person, like Manhattan. It would take adding something like 50 lanes of highway across the Hudson River to replace the capacity that trains currently provide for people to enter Manhattan from the mainland, IIRC. Neither electricity nor self driving in any way reduce the amount of space a car takes up. In fact self driving increases traffic by making it easier to go for a drive -- perhaps even send a car out for a 0 passenger cargo pickup trip.

Public transit is here to stay.
It's more like Hollywood as a whole. You have wealthy areas where the landed gentry live, and you have extremely impoverished areas where multiple working class families share a bedroom in a run down apartment and can't save enough to leave and find better prospects.
Ask HN: Why is the visa process stuck in the “Catch me if you can” days?
I have had family members go through the visa process, for both EU (Schengen) and the US and UK.

Why is the visa process so archaic? First of all, appointments are submitted via a third-party firm who doesn't have any information during or about the process, as in how long will it take or if there are any problems in general.

Secondly, you have to submit your passport and have them hold it for the duration of the process.

Thirdly, if you want your passport back it is a stressful experience and could sometimes only be if you want to cancel the entire visa process, losing the visa fees.

And lastly, it takes way too long during the best of times. Currently it is closer to the worst of times. See #1, where the entire process is very opaque and you don't know when you may get your passport back, with or without the visa.

Why isn't it an electronic process where you submit your documents and credentials online and get called in to an interview if necessary, and why does there need to be an actual physical visa stamp or sticker on the passport rather than an entry in their database so that you can be given entry and stamped on arrival?
I would alter that slightly: virtuous acts should be done whenever an opportunity arises. When we see particularly conspicuous acts of virtue, by which the practitioner benefits greatly, especially when the opportunity to avoid conspicuousness existed but was eschewed, we are right to suspect that the act would not have taken place in the absence of an audience, and thus actually signals a lack of virtue. (Because the virtuous act so regardless of audience, and personal benefit, and even at great personal risk or hardship).
This was a misguided attempt at pen testing by a person unfamiliar with security protocol. It was foolish, but there was no profit motive, no information leak, no damage or deletion to systems or data. Furthermore, he contacted his target and told them exactly what he did.

The perp should certainly receive some sort of penalty, but it doesn't deserve steep fines or imprisonment.
> that you'll only discover are wrong in the future when it is too late

Too late for what? If what you’re saying is true - we won’t be able to reliably move water to the desert over the next 1000 years. Then Arizona won’t have enough water and those people will have to move closer to a water source. But is Arizona reducing the amount of available water on Earth? I feel like you’re referring to a long-term ecological crisis that this is causing, but I’m failing to see it.
Woof, the elitism in what you said was palpable.

I’m in a rural area. I wear my seatbelt, along with everyone else I know. I don’t even drink. The only people I’ve ever known that have driven drunk were dumb teenagers. I lock my door, but I not only kept my high school car unlocked - I left the keys in it.

For two years I did that, and the only time it was “stolen” was when my friends skipped class, used it to drive to the bakery for some doughnuts, and deliberately parked it elsewhere as a prank. Do you really think that’s how it would have worked out in any major city?

I remember it being major news when a few houses were burgled when I was a kid.

Now, the biggest town in the county? Crime happens there all the time. It’s only 20,000 people but a lot of them are…lower rung.

I think that’s the real difference. When I walk in a major city or even that town, crime might happen to me. In the 20 mile radius around my house it’s very unlikely, and I very rarely see a cop unlike in NYC.
Sounds to me like you understand the mindset perfectly!
To be fair, the full comment is even more belittling than the sound bite. It’s almost dripping with contempt for those who have a different set of values than him.
> If you know a few tricks, like how to let the VM know you want integer math [1]

That's definitely gonna cause a few "wtf?" moments for everyone else on your team, lol
Oh neat, thank you I didn't realize they had released that. That's really a great value for the community! It increases my opinion of Rocky
Yes it just seems like he's prejudiced against certain people and he's invented some complicated-sounding intellectual justification for it.
> They already have established that they are not locked to ARM with the recent Pico device.

Pico is based on two ARM Cortex M0+ CPUs.
I'm not sure I see the link between understanding exponential growth and Shadow Stats? Shadow Stats holds the CPI definition constant over the time period, whereas Uncle Sam jukes the CPI however way he's feeling for "reasons". The reason why I suggested Shadow Stats was that it seems like compumike is trying to show the change in purchasing power over time with https://totalrealreturns.com/.

It's a fantastic idea trying to make the concept of the time value of money, and purchasing power more accessable to the masses. It probably took a lot of work and I appreciate the effort. Imho the correct way to do this is to hold as many variables constant over the timeseries.

My point is that since official CPI isn't constant, and imho a bad measure of inflation anyway, using M2 or Shadow Stats woudl be the better way to go.
Definitely is a societal problem; to me that means we need a societal solution.

Namely individuals have to call out bad behavior to the point it’s regulated. Not so much in this case by the market but by government regulation to hold two sided marketplaces accountable for almost literal fraud by one party.

In this case it’s easier as more a legal question as opposed to a skill question.

I would penalize Upwork for the wage differential times three. Notice Upwork would be responsible, not the other side.

It should also be easy for the ”wronged” side of this transaction to pursue such a claim.

The non-irony here is the tremendous amount of effort, ie periodic screenshots, logs etc. that make sure Upwork gets paid.
huh, layoffs went too far ya think?

If you like plants in your fish tank, pumping in CO2 has an amazing effect on them. Far more growth than pumping in air.

There is some nice hardware for achieving it.
> VSI is also planning on making OpenVMS V9.2 available to hobbyists as soon as more native compilers are available.

Looking forward to this
I'm not sure that's true. I think people are generally more honest that people assume. It's prudent to assume it will be stolen, but I suspect most of the time, accidentally leaving something somewhere for a short while would be just fine.
Would be popcorn to see Epic make a saucy donation to the Godot project at this time.
hi - thank you for speaking plainly to a large tech audience. Isnt there some "market correction" due though, overall, since OSS and Linux have become so central, so deeply performant, while the engineers and other "community" repeatedly get zero money.. Although the point of simply cloning and re-selling the work of RedHat, perhaps with support claims, might look bad, we overall have to allow some growth for non-centralized players right?
On Ubuntu: l-ctrl+l-shift+u, <codepoint>, <enter>

Of course, that sucks, so I've programmed a nearby key to act as l-ctrl+l-shift+u.

Several characters can also be typed with Compose Key.

For characters I use regularly (in my case, generally the elder and younger futharks), I've created a keyboard out of an Elgato StreamDeck XL so I can type any of these runes with a single button press.
Thank you for sharing – I just spoke with my girlfriend who described the exact same thing. I had no idea.

I'm not sure this is true. Do we have any actual proof?
I'm pretty sure it's done quite frequently. It's a pretty simple battery system with--apparently--an 80+% round-trip efficiency to it.

The biggest problem is getting permission to move that much water around. I live next to a lake and shudder at the regulatory hurdles I'd encounter building something like this. There'd be at least 4 government agencies before I even negotiated to sell to the public utility.

Oh god yes please. If pledge() makes it into the mainline kernel, we OpenBSD-type people seem less weird when submitting patches for some syscall "nobody uses".

Many OpenBSD ports contain pledge() support. Steal all you can. OpenBSD does "hoisting" in many userland programs, meaning all the open calls and such take place at the very start but isn't actually parsed until after we have locked ourselves in with pledge() and unveil(). I hope this also means many non-base programs are redesigned in this manner.
> But the purpose is to sell Broadcom SBCs, not to make an open source hardware platform.

RPi’s purpose is educational - consistent with their charitable status - it’s definitely not to sell Broadcom SoCs or (except to the extent that this overlaps with their educational purpose) to make an open source hardware platform - although it seems a lot of commenters here think it is or should be.
I meant the pro-Russian faction, which you are correct in that they don't support Putin and are for Ukrainian sovereignty. They did form a major opposition to the current political power and so they are being suppressed accordingly along with the Russian language as part of the war effort.

My post is rather about that the invasion is the final nail in the seam between the pro-West and pro-Russia interests tearing apart, when I don't think that it had to happen. Of course, Putin is responsible for that final nail. His threat of invasion has long been known in a leaked Wikileaks cable, and I think that history could have followed a different path. I think it's similar to how the balance of power shifting quickly has led to blowback like the Iraq War leading to the creation of ISIS where the former generals of Saddam were disenfranchised and resorted to violence to establish an independent state and reclaim political power.
IMHO this effect is much worse in video meetings, partly because of the lag and just the whole experience where social cues are muted.

In a real meeting, someone who has something to add will actually have different facial expressions that can be read by others. It just feels so much easier to gradually cut in without feeling like you might be talking over someone.

I actually quite like twitter. Always a little confused when people talk about how unhinged their experience with it is. Maybe I over-curate my account more than others, but I really don’t think I’ve done more than follow things I like, and blocks things I dislike as they come up.

It’s actually a good way to see what’s going on, it serves that purpose pretty well imo.
Not a satisfactory answer, but you could disable auto-updates for Kindle from the Google Play. IIRC the Google Play and the Amazon versions use the same package name (com.amazon.kindle) and signing keys, so Google Play thought that you have an equivalent app.

I tried GDScript and hated it, ended up manually porting what I wrote to C#. GDScript currently only has partial support for static typing, which makes things a much bigger pain in the ass. Using C# was a breath of fresh air after that.
Yeah we make use of streams at my work. Really useful. You can hook up streams to a Lambda and have it process events and flow them downstream to a Data Lake or Data Warehouse for analytic workloads. What works really well is pushing data to an S3 bucket with object versioning and replication enabled.

I think dynamoDB streams and kinesis streams work similar under the hood? But dynamoDB streams are way cheaper, pricing is on-demand compared to hourly for Kinesis.
“Watch out! Don’t do your good deeds publicly, to be admired by others, for you will lose the reward from your Father in heaven. When you give to someone in need, don’t do as the hypocrites do—blowing trumpets in the synagogues and streets to call attention to their acts of charity! I tell you the truth, they have received all the reward they will ever get. But when you give to someone in need, don’t let your left hand know what your right hand is doing. Give your gifts in private, and your Father, who sees everything, will reward you."
