The answer is simple: make random unregulated vehicles illegal. Actually, they are already illegal on roads, but only some cities do it for sidewalks.

If you say they are unsafe for roads, then make them illegal. If it's reckless drivers that are the problem, then that's the problem to solve; throwing more powered transport in pedestrian's way is only making it worse.

Can you expand on this? I've recovered deleted files from SSDs. Deleting files does not automatically issue a TRIM.
Isn’t Mark Milley the same general who bypassed the chain of command and removed civilian control of the military, then called a Chinese general assuring him he would “give a heads up” of any attack, and then bragged about all this to a reporter?

I’ve spent seven years listening to people complain about fascist orange man, and yet all the authoritarian policies that were introduced during that time (restrictions on freedom of movement, speech, association, etc) have come from democrat politicians.

Which party forced medical procedures on people who wanted to keep their job? Which party sends the federal police into the homes of its political opponents? Which party has been holding opposition protestors in prison without trial for over a year?

Now tell me who’s the fascist again?
Very interesting. If you don't mind providing some more info, it'd really help us figure this out so others don't run into that problem.

What OS and browser were you using? What version? Did you happen to have any extensions running that disabled JS?

Not OP, but 1 engineer -> 10M of benefit sounds right for my company.

In terms of negotiation, it really depends on how differentiated your skills are. Short answer is that if you can convince management that it would be difficult to find other engineers who could deliver the optimizations you're delivering, yes, you have leverage.
Another way to phrase this is that yoo met someone who was so much more talented than you expected and understood (in one dimension), that you almost rejected them to cover up your insecure ego, instead of being open to learning from someone who behaved differently. Congratulations on overcoming and making the right decision.
Let's just say I don't have the tiniest shred of compassion for an organization that has Epsteins client list and not a single arrest has come from it.

As far as I'm concerned the FBI is a net-negative for this country by a long shot and their defunding and dissolution immediately would have next to zero negative impact and plenty of upside.
Im assuming this is using a custom iOS device provisioning profile to let you set your DNS for cellular in a way the UI does not? If so, interesting solution!
Facebook likes to demonstrate how useful they are by showing traffic/revenue of people who advertise through them vs people who don't, and then say "look! The people who do it are making way more money!" Ignoring the fact that they intentionally suppress businesses who don't pay them.

It's like if the mafia came by your business every week to collect their $1000 to not break your kneecaps and say "look at all the happy businesses who pay us walking around, and the people who don't do business with us dragging themselves across the floor with their hands. We're an important factor in keeping people walking!"

My role is to make our CDN servers more efficient. One of the easiest and most fun ways to do that is to push servers as hard as I can and see what breaks and what doesn't scale. I also work with our hardware team and their vendors to evaluate new hardware and how it can fit into our system.

But I do plenty of other things as well, including fixing random kernel bugs. You can read the git log of the FreeBSD main branch to see some of the things I've been working on..

CVS came out in 1986, and it is built on top of RCS, which dates to 1983.[0]

RCS was an alternative to SCCS, which was written for the IBM System/370 in 1972.[1][2]

All of these are very workable for software development by a co-located group of engineers. They are full-featured, not "limited". CVS is currently used by OpenBSD.[3]

I've been thinking about raising a seed round. Do you think we're seed ready?

- HR SaaS

- Public launch in March 2022

- 400ish free trials

- 68 paid customers

- 90% on annual plans

- 1 churn

- Growing 22% MoM over last 3 months & 18% MoM last 6 months

- Founding team has worked together for 3 years, built a 45 person team for an A16 portfolio company, and shipped (a different) small B2B SaaS together to 4,000 users & $150k in revenue

- ~$500k gives us two years of runway for founders, money for devs create a more mature product, move up-market and invest into building the biggest HR community on the internet.
> They also specifically call out the power thing:

saying "we can't measure the power on M2" isn't the same thing as pointing out that in broad terms the M2 is only using 1/3 of the power of the 6850U. These are really different power classes and yeah, you'd expect the processor with triple the power budget to pull ahead.

Triple isn't my number, but, Ryzen is allowed to boost extremely high during short tests like Phoronix is doing, where a MBA is always 15W max, period the end, even in max clock states.
That's martyrdom and it isn't even for a good cause IMO. If someone buys Windows-only hardware that loses support after a few years, that's on them.
I dont see the point. A centralized data hose that is replacing what internet was designed to be : a decentralized, multi routed network. The problem may be useful to them, but unlikely to be useful to anyone who doesn't already work there. I dunno, if it was possible to monetize decentralized or bittorrent video hosting, i think it would solve the problem in a more interesting and resilient way. With fewer engineers.

But it's like, every discussion today must end with something about the pay and head count of engineers.
History is full of people who considered themselves geniuses. Some of them really were.

Nelson got his ideas out there and other people used them in various ways, often without giving him credit. Bill Atkinson was one (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FquNpWdf9vg) and he wasn't the first.

Just as amazing to me is that the algorithms could identify a song through the extremely limited bandwidth and spectrum of an early-2000s CDMA stream and a cheap Kyocera microphone.
Actually that outlier simply was a wrong number it seems, as per [1].

But my reasoning was:

* Most importantly, TSMC's market share grew uniformly, and they already were quite dominant before (market shares: 2013: 49%, 2014: 54%, 2015: 55%, from [1])

* I don't know whether that additional revenue is from Apple. Apple's use of TSMC has to have started in 2013 if they shipped the products in 2014, and to my knowledge didn't end in 2014.

* If Apple could use a node size in 2014, actual development of that has to have started quite a few years before.

No, you’re not misunderstanding the word disorder. Autism encompasses a greater degree of heterogeneity than most other disorders. At some point in the future, we may very well break autism into several distinct sub groups. But at this time, efforts to do so have mostly failed. The removal of Asperger’s as a separate disorder being an example of this difficulty.
First thing I thought as well.

I don't see any value in this comparison. These processors are consuming vastly different amounts of power. Not only that, but they are using a passively cooled Macbook Air (ultraportable) and a nearly twice as thick, actively cooled Lenovo X13.

They are not even price equivalent: The base price of the X13 is $1,800 compared to $1,200 for the M2 Macbook Air. And they aren't even comparing base model to base model. They are comparing base model Macbook Air to a ~$2,500 X13 Lenovo that has been upgraded with additional memory and the faster processor.

So the Lenovo is twice as expensive, uses twice as much power, is actively vs passively cooled, and is twice as thick. What are we comparing?

I think we need to remember this is just the first time this guy got caught, how many previous defendants are now imprisoned because he tipped the scales of "justice" by destroying exculpatory evidence? The problem is structural and cannot be fixed, LEOs, judges, and prosecutors all have a vested interest in working together to imprison defendants regardless of guilt. Whether through financial coercion, ejecting impartial jurors, or losing evidence they have a well greased machine that is designed to railroad the innocent just as quickly as the guilty.
This feature of the US mortgage system seems wild to me, as a Brit. When i take out a mortgage with a lender, i continue to owe money to that lender, and only that lender, until i repay it. If the lender wants that risk off their books, they can (and do!) sell mortgage-backed securities, which carry away the financial risk of the mortgage, whilst leaving their contract with me intact.

It seems very strange, and terrible for borrowers, that you can form a contract with one entity, and then have it transferred to another without your agreement. From what i've heard, those transfers aren't purely formalities either, people get hit with weird charges sometimes.
This article only convinces me that the OpenBSD documentation is bad, for three reasons.

First, there are seven listed sources for documentation. Seven places I might have to look through to get the answers I need. I cannot imagine a reason to have more than two - "static" documentation (the four kinds of docs in the Divio documentation system) and release notes.

Second, there's no mention of awareness of the distinction between the four kinds of documentation (https://documentation.divio.com/), and lots of discussion on the implementation details of man pages but nothing on the actual content. Man pages are pretty well-known for being decent references, but often lacking how-to guides and explanation, and having terrible/nonexistent tutorial information. This makes me think that the author is confusing "documentation" with "reference manuals".

Third, the lack of a community wiki is explicitly counted as a feature. It's not. Users need a place where they can collaborate with other users, and quickly write down their observations and hacks and problems while they're trying to get their job done - they don't have time to start a lengthy conversation with the mailing list developers or go through an involved process for patching the official documentation. Source: me, a user who has to work in a corporate environment and whose job is not working on OpenBSD, as well as many of my co-workers who often don't even take a few minutes to edit the wiki when they find a problem or fix.
Do you have any working examples you could link to? Or better yet, a script that can be run to perform the aforementioned steps?
Well the stepper motors aren’t very strong, so if there is any obstruction it will just stop moving. But the laser head itself is very securely mounted to the carriage, which is very securely mounted to the gantry. I guess it’s possible the gantry could tip, though I’ve never seen that. Otherwise I don’t expect the laser would ever really change orientation. Someone could do some testing to see how hard it would be to tip the gantry. But again, the stepper motors aren’t very powerful. And I’ve accidentally kicked the gantry when forgetting to step over it and it stayed seated.

Also you can make the gantry runners arbitrarily wide, at the loss of some Y axis travel. But you can also make the Y axis arbitrarily long. So if you have space to extend things, you could make the gantry runners wider to give it even more stability against tipping. (A problem I have so far never observed)
I worked in HPC as well, and I have to point out emphatically that this IS NOT USERSPACE NETWORKING. The TCP stack resides in the kernel. The vast majority of our CPU time is system + interrupt time.
Feds and capitol police opened the gates for the protesters.

In regards to Whitmer, without the feds inciting the idiots in the group, none of this happens. A federal jury already failed to convict several members, so the "justice" system is going to keep retrying until they succeed. This is all a sham.

Holy cow! The list of errors on that page is huge. Oh, well. When they duck up that badly, it provides the impetus to see where this shitshow is coming from so I can block even more of these horrible domains.

How has someone been convicted of trafficking children, yet the FBI and DOJ have not released any of the names or charged any of their clients? Everything else seem to leak out right away.

There are plenty more examples. Take a look at some of the OIG reports that have come out in the last 10 years if you want a real in depth look.

There is something wrong with our FBI and DOJ and it needs to be rooted out. I agree with you regarding the replacement but at the same time we cannot pretend its actual doing anti-corruption or major crimes work fairly. Both organizations selectively chooses who to go after based on the employees personal feelings. That is not okay. That is not justice.
If your position is that there is no way around politics due to selective enforcement then it sounds like it needs to be an elected position with its enumerated rights clearly spelled out that is accountable to the citizenry and not the people who appoint them. A kind of national sheriff if you will.
If I may pick on one piece of advice here: intermediate variables. I think both the bad and good examples are both equally unreadable and feel the "good" version would introduce more confusion into a code base than the "bad" example.

For example, if I came across the example in code, I would begin to wonder why the `deltaX` variable exists at all if its only purpose is to be renamed `translateX` and spend some time tracing the code to see where the variable falls out of scope and to see if it's important. Then I might wonder whether it used for something else at some other point in time and trace the history of these lines (somewhat akin to nerd sniping).

Now I'm focusing on the variable as if it's important when really the important bit is the relationship of the current to the initial. The code is obscuring the fact that "delta" is `current - initial`. Look how many times the pattern is repeated! Perhaps we need an abstraction that can produce the delta for us. However, the data structure makes that a little bit tricky as scrollTop is held in an ad hoc manner, so maybe we should update the data structure so that we can eventually have an api like:

type ScreenPoint = { x: number; y: number; scrollTop: number }

type toDelta = (current: ScreenPoint, initial: ScreenPoint) => ScreenPoint

// example implementation of toDelta using ramda for brevity
const toDelta = R.mergeWith<ScreenPoint, ScreenPoint>(R.subtract)

const delta = toDelta(current, initial)
shadow.style.transform = `translate(${delta.x}px, ${delta.y + delta.scrollTop}px)`

Intermediate variables can be tricky because you can't always trust that the name matches what's actually going on inside, so you have to read everything anyhow.
Free beats cheap. Imgur and its comeptitors are also straightforward. You don't really need an API for a single upload. The ownership and control argument is great in theory, but this is now an image on the internet. Anyone can link to it which will cost you money. Anyone can download it and upload to somewhere else. That means all appearances of control are artificial. I don't see much benefit here.
Wonder if they are successful if they just go extinct again. Will they know how to hunt and reproduce? Interesting test of nature vs nurture.
Yes, of course Apple would try to define tracking in a way that doesn't apply to their data collection. But the fact is that they are taking my activity across apps, my PII entered for non-ads purposes, and allowing ad targeting using that. What is the word you'd use for that instead of "tracking"? Why is that OK, but the advertising profiles built by other companies aren't?

I don't have a problem with how Apple tracks people for ad targeting. They're not a particularly bad actor, but they're not a particularly good actor either. And a thing I do have a problem with is people thinking that Apple isn't doing all of this and giving them a free pass.
> The Ryzen chip's TDP is configurable between 15W and 28W,

TDP isn't a relevant number since the Ryzens will exceed their "configured TDP" for an unlimited period of time.

see, eg, Anandtech's Tiger Lake review where a "15W cTDP" Renoir chip pulls 23W, and it is allowed to sustain that boost for an unlimited period of time, going against Intel chips that actually obey the 15W configured sustained-power limits...

https://images.anandtech.com/doci/16084/Power%20-%2015W%20Co...

The relevant number for comparing Ryzen against Intel/Apple SKUs is what AMD calls the "PPT" which is their sustained-boost TDP. The "cTDP" number is basically pure marketing these days, nobody is running at base clocks outside of contrived scenarios.

(the Intel boost TDP is allowed to exceed the rated TDP too, but they only allow it for a limited time, it's a "sprint" feature on their chips, where AMD has just turned it into their new sustained TDP number, with the advertised TDP being essentially fake for marketing purposes it's specified at base-clocks that nobody ever runs.)
navigation between pages, or if one wishes super hard to be SPA JS-y, `addEventListener` and `history.pushState`, although that wasn't what I meant when I made reference to the 90s -- the PNGs used by the slide deck exist as resources on the server, so one does not need JS to view them, even in an _o_rdered _l_ist of elements of <img>

For that analogy to be accurate Walmart would have replaced the offending product with their own in house brand of the same product.

Which is exactly the justification Apple uses. What I don't understand is why people paying upwards of $600 to buy those shelves from Walmart and use in their own homes are ok with Walmart insisting that those shelves actually still belong to them and putting up their own products in the shelves you bought from them and installed in your home.
I actually broadly agree with you, but it's just a difference in specializations. Web developers make up a large percentage of the current HN population and they don't need to know the low level details of an OS or the hardware to do their jobs effectively.

Specifying that knowledge of a benchmarking site is required for those having a technical background is just a weird hill to die on though.
