It is cool to see such a central piece of the Internet puzzle get an updated specification.

This quote from the RFC provides both the context of this document and is an indication as to why it seemingly took so long for this particular update to be published:

It's not clear. Technically LGBTQ is a protected class now, so it would make sense that EEOC would collect that data now. But some employment attorneys suggest there are better ways to collect this workplace data. https://www.shrm.org/resourcesandtools/legal-and-compliance/...

Many companies ask the information optionally (https://www.thehrcfoundation.org/professional-resources/self...) in order to provide appropriate benefit plans, as LGBTQ individuals may have specific health concerns that non-LGBTQ people don't have.

Flash back to 1998 when Sergey Brin and Lawrence Page when they said an ad-supported model will never be able to rank quality content. Seems like they almost realize it

> "Currently, the predominant business model for commercial search engines is advertising. The goals of the advertising business model do not always correspond to providing quality search to users. For example, in our prototype search engine one of the top results for cellular phone is "The Effect of Cellular Phone Use Upon Driver Attention", a study which explains in great detail the distractions and risk associated with conversing on a cell phone while driving. This search result came up first because of its high importance as judged by the PageRank algorithm, an approximation of citation importance on the web [Page, 98].

> It is clear that a search engine which was taking money for showing cellular phone ads would have difficulty justifying the page that our system returned to its paying advertisers. For this type of reason and historical experience with other media [Bagdikian 83], we expect that advertising funded search engines will be inherently biased towards the advertisers and away from the needs of the consumers."
> when the "world" for all practical purposes included only European powers

Why though? I think even China alone had almost as large a population in 1800 (300M) as the US does right now so I'm confused what this is supposed to mean? Japan also had some 30M, Russia 35M. (I haven't checked other countries.)

We're defining "the world" in 1800 to be "European powers" so that we can claim the first world war was actually before World War I?

Simply, that you can’t compare laptops solely on a cost basis easily.

Does the Ryzen system come with a full aluminum enclosure?

Does it come with a screen with P3 color, 400 nits peak brightness, and HDR support?

What is the battery size on both machines, and how long do each last?

How thin is it? How light it it? How fast does it charge? How much does this affect you daily?

If it was only about CPU performance, I could grab the cheapest Clevo with a Core i9 and it would beat every other manufacturer in the “bang-buck” spec as you are defining it, but it would be an awful experience.

I don't understand how that could happen in Brooklyn in 1919 without being photographed.
One thing I always miss in these benchmarks are noise levels. Being completely silent is a major selling point for me and I would be willing to sacrifice some performance for it. The Air should be silent as it doesn't have any active cooling. I assume that's not the case for the Ryzen.

That a observably true thing can be used to justify bad things, does not mean its untrue.

I'm quoting myself from https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=31595298:

> People see that "men and women are different" is used as justification for prejudice (like a person not getting a chance because people of the same sex did rarely have success previously). Which sucks and people feel its unfair. And when trying to conceptualize that unfairness into words, their contra opinion sometimes ends up being "so man and women must be equal" instead of "a persons sex does not justify prejudice".

No problem at all. See Russian example. 10 years ago it was 50/50% Visa/Mastercard on the Russian market. Today it is like 30/30/30 Mir/Visa/MC (Mir is the national payment system). And even those 60% are not "real" Visa/MC, since they are being processed through a centralized platform, owned by the Russian Central Bank. For example, it helped to save all the cards in working condition when Visa/MC exited Russia

Ada Lovelace wrote what is often considered the first computer program, a set of instructions for the (unbuilt) Analytical Engine to calculate Bernoulli Numbers.

Appropriately, if this is the first computer program, it also contains the first bug! It's impossible to say whether this was a typesetting error or Lovelace's original, but the transcription of her instructions accidentally transpose a "v4" and "v5".

And you don't understand why developers might be interested in your source control setup and thinking behind dev processes?

If your response to a really common and sensible process question is

> I'm going to begin doubting that this person can focus on actually shipping product.

Then, if I'm interviewing with you, my assumption is going to be that your company way over prioritizes "just ship it!" with a total disregard for technical debt, and has a generally poor engineering culture.

Any engineer of any real talent is going to recognize that your dev environment and general software developement practice is in fact a big part of "shipping features" in the long term. The fact that you view this as some practice of "bureaucratic bigcorps" would tell me all I need to know to walk away slowly and politely.

So I would say this comment is inadvertently validating that this is in fact a very good question to ask during an interview.
I think you're overstating the issues here; and it's necessary to take what you can get in hard-to-do comparisons like this. There are caveats: certainly.

The Ryzen chip's TDP is configurable between 15W and 28W, which would include the GPU (but I doubt most of these tests touch the GPU anyhow). There will be power usage differences, but the TDP difference won't be huge - most differences will be due to utilization differences, which might be large.

The RAM issue usually doesn't affect most benchmarks, but it's something to consider if there are odd outliers.

The CPU core count number represents the reality of these chips (but M2 has a 4+4 config, apparently?).

Using linux is likely far from ideal, but probably necessary for them to run such an extensive and mostly comparable set of benchmarks. It's a significant caveat, but for CPU-limited benchmarks it's hopefully merely of reasonably limited impact (on the order of 30% on average rather than 300%, say?). OS differences tend to be larger for I/O, GPU, and some niche things like context-switching benchmarks. Of course, the power scheduler stuff matters.

It's worth pointing out that phoronix itself (on different hardware and slightly older OS versions) looked at some linux vs. macos benchmarks: https://www.phoronix.com/review/apple-m1-linux-perf - and while there were a few unsurprising macos wins, there also were some (far fewer) linux wins.

I think the benchmark is very interesting for what it is. Despite limitations, it _is_ informative. You can't always get a shrinkwrapped answer to whatever question you really have; so extra data-points such as this are helpful.

You know what they say: there are lies, damn lies, and benchmarks. Or something like that; caveat lector anyhow.

Well, of course. They were very familiar with the term "bug" meaning defect or flaw in an engineered system, so the joke was that here was a flesh-and-blood "bug." It's obvious from the phrasing that the term "bug" was commonly used.

Question: how do you propose preventing other people from making copies of this art and selling it, without revealing your identity?

If you want to use copyright to protect your work, and end up suing, remaining pseudonymous will be difficult.

Courts will only sometimes allow an anonymous/pseudonymous complaint. Even when they do allow it, they may require that defendant be given access to your real name, even if it remains sealed from the public. Even if you are somehow successfully in remaining anonymous to the court, the defendant, and the public, you are only going to be able to do that via being represented by an attorney, who will most likely need to know your name, and the attorney’s identity will be public.

(The attorney would likely need to know your real name for ethics reasons, like making sure they are not representing a defendant you are suing in some non-private lawsuit. )

But given you don’t trust institutions to not leak identity, I suppose you cannot trust the attorney to either.

> 4. They are using Asahi Linux on the M2.[2]

To you and all the rest saying the same: do you really think that when trying to judge a processor speed you should run benchmarks with different OSes? So, why not benchmark Lenovo + Windows vs MacBook + macOS? Those are the most sold configurations for both laptops, no?
To me, it makes sense try to compare the raw HW with the same layer of software, unless there is some big glaring missing feature in Linux, inhibiting the use of some HW capability of the M2 processor.
The difference in RAM size should not matter as long as both systems have their memory channels filled out and the workload fits in memory.

Your first link claims Koch Industries is "a little-known, privately owned US oil company". That's the sort of lie you've got to expect from the Guardian. Quoting Wikipedia:

"Koch Industries, Inc. (/ˈkoʊk/) is an American privately held multinational conglomerate corporation based in Wichita, Kansas and is the second-largest privately held company in the United States, after Cargill.[2] Its subsidiaries are involved in the manufacturing, refining, and distribution of petroleum, chemicals, energy, fiber, intermediates and polymers, minerals, fertilizer, pulp and paper, chemical technology equipment, cloud computing, finance, commodity market trading, and investments. Koch owns Flint Hills Resources, Georgia-Pacific, Guardian Industries, Infor, Invista, KBX, Koch Ag & Energy Solutions, Koch Engineered Solutions, Koch Investments Group, Koch Minerals & Trading, and Molex. The firm employs 122,000 people in 60 countries, with about half of its business in the United States"

The Guardian states that the Koch brothers aren't directly funding climate related stuff, but they do fund libertarian and conservative groups. This is, in their eyes, immoral.

Is it terrible for wealthy billionaires to fund people with particular perspectives on what to do about the climate? If you believe so then your biggest criticism must be in the other direction, because the money flows to support pro-doom climate journalism are vast. The Gates Foundation literally directly gives money to news companies that can only be used to hire people to write about climate and vaccines (in his preferred direction). Amongst the recipients of Gates' largesse is, of course, the Guardian.

https://www.cjr.org/criticism/gates-foundation-journalism-fu...

"I recently examined nearly twenty thousand charitable grants the Gates Foundation had made through the end of June and found more than $250 million going toward journalism. Recipients included news operations like the BBC, NBC, Al Jazeera, ProPublica, National Journal, The Guardian, Univision, Medium, the Financial Times, The Atlantic, the Texas Tribune, Gannett, Washington Monthly, Le Monde, and the Center for Investigative Reporting; charitable organizations affiliated with news outlets, like BBC Media Action and the New York Times’ Neediest Cases Fund; media companies such as Participant, whose documentary Waiting for “Superman” supports Gates’s agenda on charter schools; journalistic organizations such as the Pulitzer Center on Crisis Reporting, the National Press Foundation, and the International Center for Journalists; and a variety of other groups creating news content or working on journalism, such as the Leo Burnett Company, an ad agency that Gates commissioned to create a “news site” to promote the success of aid groups."

It's telling that people don't know this is comparing the performance on Linux in the comments just based on the site.

It tells you how much the culture of HN has shifted away from technical and engineering types. It's also telling that they think 16gb of ram changes the outcome of very trivial tests that don't use 8gb anyway.

A typical programmer knows what phoronix is and does and shouldn't be surprised by how it performs tests since it has done so the same way for a decade...but then I suppose most people on this site are not technical people anymore.

The repo does say

This is not a checklist, this is not a shopping list. If you send this entire list to an employer, they probably won't be calling you back. This list is intended to serve as a reference point for things to be aware of during your interview process. Not all of these questions will be relevant to every person or position, you should choose the ones that are relevant to you and what you are interviewing for. It's OK for there to be questions on this list that you personally do not care about.

They seem well aware of what you're talking about.
Apple supports Linux via virtualization. If you ask me, that's the most sane way to run Linux on macOS.
> Being completely silent is a major selling point for me and I would be willing to sacrifice some performance for it. The Air should be silent as it doesn't have any active cooling.

If you're willing to tolerate a low amount of noise, I find that laptop coolers with very large fans (200mm) work great. The large fan generates a high volume of airflow, but the the low fan speed means that it's almost silent.
I don't think the point is "simpler or cheaper", I think the point is that, say, widespread famine under our current production regime is inevitable. Let's talk about this now, so we can at least do SOMETHING about it, instead of being caught flat-footed when it happens and having no options left.

Or continued serious drought, or climate migration, or massive heat die-offs, etc. Better to face reality and prepare SOME kind of response, and the earlier we do, the better we can mitigate it.
Providing safe infrastructure for smaller powered (or unpowered) mobility devices means disabled people can get around more effectively too, because wheels work better on pavement than on (often uneven) sidewalks. I posted this in another thread but it’s relevant here too:

I love technical content like this. Not only is it incredibly interesting and informative, it also serves as a perfect counterpoint to the popular "why does Netflix need X thousand engineers, I could build it in a weekend" sentiment that is frequently brought up on forums like this one.

Building software and productionalizing/scaling it are two very different problems, and the latter is far more difficult. Running a successful company always requires an unlimited number of very smart people who are willing to get their hands dirty optimizing every aspect of the product and business. Too many people today think that programming starts and ends at pulling a dozen popular libraries and making some API calls.
It’s safe to assume that a social ranking system covering the whole web will be gamed.
To be more charitable, I think the original poster wants help finding what they want… but isn’t providing useful feedback. Making it hard to help.

Hopefully rglullis here is helping nudge (if uncomfortably) into actually articulating a positive desire instead of asking fairly generic questions and dismissing everyone’s suggestions and feeling attacked when challenged to show a direction.

There are literally thousands of hiring managers reading these threads. Any one of us could help if the poster opens up with real specifics and what their strengths and desires are. It can be frustrating being one of those managers when the poster doesn’t appear to know what they want other than more money and a challenge. And also doesn’t provide any list of skills and experience.

For anyone reading: original poster is too timid to put their real self out there, making it hard to even help them. When you shoot your shot, step forward unapologetically and say what you have to offer and the challenge you are looking for. The Only piece of info I have is liking narrative text games with relatively simple decision trees, some interest in rust and some reflexive hate for fintech. Also some desire to not move from some unspecified location.
It's an interesting observation but we're not talking about 'sticking to the man' here. The actual situation is that 'the man' and an obliging publisher is taking publicly published free speech and removing it and blacklisting an author.

You certainly need not be in the "fringe" or a "social outcast" to object to this state of affairs, which seem to infringe on certain god given liberties (or so we were told). In fact many "dead white men" of excellent repute at the time were rather insistent on these rights. So if demanding our rights is now the condition of the "fringe", the inevitable conclusion is that we live in the gestate state of an emerging tyranny.

There are also some pretty big tradeoffs with this strategy. There seems to be a roughly 1/3 chance that you already rejected the best candidate. That's all good if not coming up with a result is acceptable and practically free of cost.

If the stakes are higher though, more conservative strategies might be in order. For example, you might want to sample a much smaller group than n/e first and make a decision based on their median, or even look at their standard deviation to get a reasonable sense about the value distribution - as in the real world values are seldomly distributed uniformly.

If there is a cost to coming up empty, you may also want to employ a hybrid solution, such as going with "1/e-law of best choice" until you hit the 70% mark and then accept the first candidate that is higher than a linear interpolation of the highest value and zero, lerped across the remaining percentage of samples.
