Once FF started doing experiments on its userbase and started churning through their executive teams (and userbase!), I was already looking for an alternative. IMO, Brave has now definitely overtaken Firefox as the most privacy-focused browser.

Releasing this list publicly on Github is an awesome move, especially given the links to the issues that explain the reasoning and discussion behind all of it. Kudos on this transparency.
Analyzing Every Clojure Project on GitHub
Every company I've worked at has ranks of engineer so you'd need to collapse those, and then at perf review time your managers would lose the "you're at the top of your rank's salary range".

IANAL but I'd also guess it would make discrimination lawsuits easier as if everyone is in one range you can't hide behind "available ranges" for rank as you can currently (despite the promotion between ranks also being discriminatory \o/ ). i.e. imagine your company has rank 1 = 100-150, rank 2 - 150-200, etc. Currently a person of group X is only 50% as likely to be promoted as group Y, but inside each rank salary distribution is equal. So currently if you look at their salary ranges vs ranks it looks fine, but if you remove the rank separation it will immediately pull the various statistics of group X down relative to group Y. Now instead of having to prove that the promotion system is discriminatory they can point to the more directly obvious wage bias.

This is not to say that's what happens, and the opacity of employee spread inside the ranges anyway mean that I'm not sure just how much of a difference this will actually make, and as I've said elsewhere tech and finance both having significant non-salary/wage compensation that they aren't required to report.
Are there any similarly structured projects around?
> The fact that -ffast-math makes no mention that it will poison any other code executing in your process space

Untrue. The doc entry for -ffast-math says "can result in incorrect output for programs that depend on an exact implementation of IEEE or ISO rules/specifications for math functions". Emphasis mine.

So they clearly say that the entire program can turn invalid when -ffast-math is used.

You and some other people here act like the docs say "translation unit" or something like that, instead of "program", but this is simply not the case.

Furthermore, the entry for -ffast-math points to entries for suboptions that -ffast-math turns on (located right below in the man page), e.g. -funsafe-math-optimization. These also make clear how dangerous they can be even when turned on one at a time.
VC mindset in Congressional races, is a mismatch. A good VC needs to concentrate on getting a few home runs: big wins where no one else was expecting them (and thus there is little competition), that disrupt incumbents.

This strategy, in Congress, would (even if it worked) result in a few surprising wins, that will sit in the minority in Congress and accomplish nothing. I expect Peter Thiel is a smart guy, but he may not be the right kind of smart for helping the Republicans win back Congress.
RMS sure do know how to bring it out in people don’t he?

Thanks, I did guess that it might be some specific format and not just a screen recording, but all these TLAs are hard to memorize.

BTW, it's a really nice example of the possibilities of Lisp, which reminds me to refresh my memories and start coding in Lisp again.
Let's stipulate that everything you say is true. It still doesn't address the content of the comment you are responding to:

"it's not a good way to kick off a discussion of the subject in earnest. "

And as someone who has no opinion on the issue at all, and hasn't researched it, and can easily believe it is/isn't of lab origin, I can say that the top level OP comment was a very quick "I don't want to spend a minute of my time engaging with this guy."

Do I have a flaw when I behave that way? Perhaps. Does he/she have a flaw in writing comments in ways that turn most people off? Definitely.
SQL has a couple legitimate limitations as a query language, largely because we expect databases to do so much more today than when it was designed. I've been both a heavy user of SQL and implementor of SQL databases focused on data models like graph, spatial, et al, so I feel the pain from both directions.

Some useful things are difficult to effectively express in SQL because it was not designed to make them expressible. Adding support after the fact introduced a lot of compromises and complexity; you can tell which parts of SQL are second-class citizens. SQL would have been designed differently if its original scope had been broader and it is an inelegant mess for some types of data models. You can make it work but it isn't pleasant. Attempts to address these gaps explain much of why SQL databases all have their own non-standard SQL dialect, and it has made SQL effectively non-portable across databases.

In principle, a more modern query language could elegantly address the much broader scope of how we use databases today in a standardized way, instead of the zoo of non-standard extensions and mismatched parts that are grafted onto specific SQL implementations.

For sure! My least favourite type of bug is the converse though. "How is this possibly working?"

Nope. clang has "-Weverything", and gcc has "-Wextra", both of which go beyond "-Wall".

No background or industry specific knowledge, but I'd venture to guess smart phones/mobile computing added a lot to the demand for RAM and outpaced increases in manufacturing.

I'd guess now that the market for smartphones is pretty mature we should start seeing further RAM increases in the coming years.

"They say princes learn no art truly, but the art of horsemanship. The reason is, the brave beast is no flatterer." is english, ca. 1600, but I've found more or less the same quote in ancient greek, and no doubt the persians and egyptians had their own versions...

I'm looking for opportunities as a remote contractor.

I've worked as a Full Stack Web Developer with emphasis on the Back-End. Up to this day I've worked as an employee for local companies but I'm willing to take the leap with an international team.

As a developer, my focus is to create scalable, flexible and clear written services, always sticking to good practices and Agile methodologies. Willing to work as a team member in a collaborative environment, and to teach others if necessary

A patient wants to know how much a procedure will cost. Now the hospital can look up that data, since apparently (from experience, not hyperbole) no one who works there actually knows.
The problem is called co-rumination. It's engaged in more often by adolescent girls than adolescent boys, and far more often in adolescent girls it leads to anxiety and depression. They bond over the sharing of (and obsession with) one another's problems and often, through a mimetic process, take on one another's problems. Social media is a superhighway for this kind of communication, and exacerbates the pathological tendencies of it. Notice how the intervention of taking away the young lady's phone was a crucial first step in her recovery.
Thanks, Michael! I can't wait for Lumina Desk to come out :)

While it's sad to see such a sorry state of affairs while universities are literally practicing "purification flame ceremony"[0] for burning the books that some <3% people may find offensive (everyone knows this but is afraid to resist because they'd be next on the list), it creates more and more reasons to make strong anonymity strong privacy networks to gain popularity. It's unfortunate that it happens through such rippling damage to society but it is what it is.

My primary workstation has 128GB and it is for sure unnecessary. Even with multiple projects running each of which spins up a dozen containers in k3s, and a background game of Rimworld as well as all the electron apps that life requires these days, I rarely ever breach 64GB much less 100GB.

The only real use is writing horrifying malloc experiments and having a couple extra seconds to kill them before OOMing.
You also seem ignorant of the history of SF before 2015 or so. The dynamic of people living in the suburbs and working in SF was reversed.

Ever hear of the protests against Google buses? The young people wanted to live in SF but the jobs were down in Silicon Valley. To attract them, the tech giants bused them from SF to Mountain View, Cupertino, Menlo Park, etc...

Was SF freeloading off of Silicon Valley suburbs then? Your notion doesn't stand the test of history and data.

BTW, the busing is still going on.

Also what percentage of tech workers working in SF lived in SF? From my circle it was around 70%. Do you know who didn't live in SF? Often parents and people who couldn't afford to live there.
I actually do have 100gb of ram in my desktop, mainly because I got a bit carried away on eBay and bought an epyc, and you kinda have to fill all the slots to get the performance.
my ideal for reviews are: one person one vote, the voter actually watched the content (or owns the product etc), and voters have a relatively similar standard for what value corresponds to each possible rating.

however, i have no faith that any of these ideals are met for reviews on any platform. by and large this is why i don't pay attention to any reviews but it's really hard, or in the case of physical things, expensive to take this approach.

just like any platform that has to deal with spam it can be dangerous for them to release information about what they do to combat spam because it can enable to people trying to spam. so there's a bit of a stalemate where the user lacks a justification for having faith in the reviews

as far as most platforms, i'd be shocked if they done anything more than a captcha or ip restrictions, and you can just pay ~$1 for 1000 solved captchas and about the same cost again for proxies

One of the most annoying arguments against working from the office is that you have to have a terrible commute. Yes, if you have a 1 hour long commute working from the office will be miserable. But the problem is not working from a a workplace, it’s the Wall-E esque culture we’ve created for ourselves.

American cities are made for cars, which stretch cities out and transform our entire lives. The Cupertino campus had an insane parking minimum that even Apple failed to fight against. (Or maybe they decided not to).

It’s annoying that we blame everyone but ourselves on issues like long commutes, gas prices, obesity, pedestrian deaths, pollution, loneliness, etc. You can’t have an affordable 3000sq ft. home without some sacrifice. Ideally people with larger homes just hop on a commuter train but 90% of American simply don’t want that.

Instead, we are happy to blame these problems on transplants, construction projects, Joe Biden, and evil corporations who ask us to… gasp come to work. Never ourselves.

I of course say this from a position of privilege because if I were to have a job with a commute (which I dearly miss having tbh) I could probably afford to live within walking distance to the office. But I’m not telling people to “just move closer” I’m just asking for trains.

Anyways - that was a rant, but I think this is one of the most important issues in American society today.

> And you'll notice that AA batteries are almost universally ... gone; replaced with built-in batteries or custom-wrapped lithium batteries.

Ever open up a Dewalt battery pack? It's a circuit board and a whole bunch of 18650's. All of them are 3.7 V. What's different is the amount of power they supply and the energy they hold, how fast they can recharged, etc.

But we have that with the AA/A/C/D standard as well. Some batteries can hold more energy, some can deliver more current for a longer time, etc. NiCad, Alkaline, NiMh... etc.
Cisco is a famous example. They were founded to build a clone of the beloved PDP-10 mainframe. To bring in some cash they made copies of the stanford LAN routers the team had designed and built at Stanford. Turns out a lot of people wanted networking gear.

Years later some of the founders founded XKL to make a PDP-10 clone.

Instead of WebGL, I'd recommend to give WebGPU a try first, as it's a much better designed API. I'd even say that once you've learned the few core concepts of WebGPU (such as command buffers), it's an easier to learn API than the notable chaos that WebGL/OpenGL introduces.

Healthy skepticism is warranted! I've answered several of these in previous HN comments such as https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=pyrrhotech&next=3012... and https://news.ycombinator.com/threads?id=pyrrhotech&next=3012... but in brief:

1. Vix Futures are a huge part of all the VIX based models. Vix Futures came out in 2004 but the earliest intraday per-contract data publicly available is in 2009 which is needed to calculate the futures curve.

2. Slippage is included in the modeled returns but taxes are not, as mentioned in the tooltip. Taxes are not included because they vary widely by location, account type and implementation method. I've also written at large about how to minimize taxes on the blog. As a conservative estimate, feel free to multiply returns by 0.75x to get equivalent after-tax CAGR, but in most cases you'd beat this in real life.

3. Correct, and I make no guarantee that they will always be available. As of now, selling access to them in no way negatively impacts my own returns. I've met a lot of people in this journey and I enjoy leading a community and making an impact. I also make a significant amount of MRR that has grown substantially from the start of the year that gets reinvested into the models in my own account. I consider Grizzly Bulls to be a win-win alternative to the hedge fund industry for those interested in alternative investments. We've only ever had one Platinum member cancel, and given the model's underperformance in Q1 it was understandable. Since Q1, the model has been crushing the market, and it makes me happy to see our customers happy as well. Finally, as I mention several places, no one should ever expect any model to achieve 100% of its backtest performance, but there's enough leeway in the performance and drawdown figures to underperform the backtest and still generate substantial alpha, which has been my experience running them live for over 2 years now.
I'm surprised it's 2022 and they haven't embraced a multiline equation editor.

Hey HN, I’ve been working on Arda ever since becoming frustrated with the poor user experience of using XR to replace my laptop, yet, having complete conviction of its role as a major computing platform. So, we started building something that we wanted to use day-to-day without the need for slow controllers, uncomfortable headsets designed for gaming, or limited ecosystems. We have since been obsessed with making the user experience better and faster and after lots of experimentation, we’re happy to be announcing the Arda I - a device that makes working in XR feel like magic.

We’re starting off by focusing on the user interface and input mechanism, hence why we’re taking off-the-shelf HMDs and adapting them for productive work (as opposed to the core gaming use case).

We’ve bootstrapped everything so far and have just opened up reservations to accelerate progress and enable our backers to replace their conventional PCs with more capable XR systems. We expect units to ship retailing at around $/£/€1500 no earlier than Q1 2023, with priority given to customers with reservations.

We’d love feedback on all fronts and I’m happy to answer any questions (technical or otherwise) about the project.

If you’re interested in helping build the future computing platform (as a cofounder, team or community member) pls reach out! Our goal is to make XR computing better and faster to use than conventional PCs. I think we’re pretty close - turning this into a fairly niche hobbyist past-time to a really useful tool for everyone. Longer-term, I think this is the correct evolutionary path towards building brain-computer interfaces, but thats for a future convo :)
