In the early 1990s the "common wisdom" was that CISC architectures were obsolete and that RISC architectures would take over any day. Motorola was part of the alliance that developed the PowerPC architecture (even if it is often described as just coming from IBM). The lack of focus on the 68k was a self-fulfilling prophecy as current versions just couldn't keep up with Intel or the PowerPC, and newer versions weren't being created.
All excellent points but Windows is a very widely used platform (perhaps the most widely used, by some metrics) and it’s actually quite nice for development. It’s hard to take tools seriously that don’t work on it.

Unpopular opinion but I think the Unix approach of lots of little tools with arcane configuration files all blaming each other sucks. I get why it exists, why it became popular, and why it remains popular in some scenarios, but I don’t feel beholden to it.
This is terrible. I'll read tech reviews elsewhere now.

Why do these companies feel like they want to be tech companies. The Verge have always been trying to act like they're innovating their tech stack. They're not a tech company. They need to just customize a wordpress theme (or equivalent), and worry about content.
Yes, I know there is no good engineering solution unless you accept to have thicker expansion cards on both sides (e.g. with rubber pads on the bottom) that would be used as slightly elevated support for the laptop.
Correct me if I'm wrong, please, but since the equity is all options, doesn't that imply that they're making it easier for people to give them money?

Yes, sure, they have to dilute the company a bit by creating more stocks for the people buying it, but if your company is in enough trouble that you're laying off 1 in 6 employees, it seems financially wise to effectively be doing many small rounds of fundraising this way. It extends your runway some small amount.
> that just work

Eh. The reliability wasn't really great. We never knew if our data was still there.
I think the implied intent of the player character counts for a lot when it comes to colonialist vibes. "Oops, I didn't mean to be here, and my main goal is to leave" is a step away from any sort of colonial undertaking.

As for accepting it, I'd imagine it's because the game doesn't really give you a choice. There isn't a way to coexist with the native species -- they're always aggressive even if you don't create pollution (they're just not drawn to you without pollution; they'll always attack if they see you). In your metaphor, it'd be like if we never did anything but shoot at the alien. So you can either just not play the game at all, or you can exist in conflict with the native species.

It'd make it a very different game, but it'd be interesting to imagine there being some way to work with the native species. If you could make the choice between a quick and dirty pollution-heavy resource-extraction "bad path" and a more complex social cooperation "good path", that'd probably trigger you feeling guiltier about casual extermination.
You can sell your business, the cash you can leave to your kids, is upper bounded by how high you can get into the corporate ladder, which for most people, is not very high. Your family can always sell your business and get that cash. I was also referring to a profitable business, not a startup (is pretty uncommon for people to leave startups to their next in kin). I know people who have someone else running their family business (with a pretty good deal for both parties) and focus on other stuff they care about.
You'll get "redacted"

Same here. More than half of my domains are used for email canaries. The other half are used as spam tarpits in addition to testing things as you mentioned. I have http on 3 of them and most of that usage is hidden wildcards using strict-SNI and not publicly accessible.
The thing is, something like Bazel only pays dividends on a large complex project. When you're starting from scratch it's unlikely you'll have any problems that Bazel helps to solve, but you'll be spending a lot of time on the ceremony of setting it up.
> The new C23 language has a lot of features that makes your code not compile in previous C versions like attributes digit separators etc.. Someone may wants to create a new project in C23 and soon regret because the users of the code may need C99.

Ah. I was not aware of this.
I’m just going to point out that growing 10% per year is actually exponential growth
In this case it is the lack of this ability which, when you meet it, is unexpected and unintuitive. Think of this as a design-level bug-fix.
Lending iterators is the most obvious. Also simplification for library maintainers, and the ability to better abstract over traits (leading to less boxing / dynamic dispatch).

So more flexible APIs and more efficient code for the consumer, and simpler library code (which is usually an improvement in reliability and maintainability).

I recall installing Office from ~35 floppy discs, and finding that one of the discs in the 20s was unreadable after what felt like an eternity. The installation still completed after I skipped it though, so presumably it only contained some optional feature I never ended up using.
As an exec, I don’t care in the least about hours. I do care about results and outcomes, of course, but if you achieve more for the company in 2 hours per week than what someone else does in 40, you are more valuable to the company.
There was already Norway, Denmark and Poland fairly close by (close in terms of air travel).

But yes, Sweden and Finland in NATO is nice. Also for the fact that NATO not intervening in aggression against Sweden or Finland is hard to imagine, so getting papers on the marriage is nice for all parties involved.
Pardon my beginner question: how soon do updates like this make it into the Rust book?
After an hour of this hearing, the smell reminds me of Enron.
Yes, you can go out of your way to make your builds non-deterministic. That should break in Make as well.

I don't know enough about bazel to answer your question definitively, but "stamping" is what you want to search for.

Interesting take. The only people that notice inflation are the ones that actually look at prices :) It's great you don't have to think about prices at all but that is really out of touch with most of not only America but basically the whole world...
But there are a ton of replacements for the use case you describe. Telegram and the like (even WhatsApp), or just plain old email are useful for what you're describing.
Schools have never been known for keeping up with the latest in computing hardware. The 90s were no exception.

Besides -- early on, a lot of PC makers put USB ports on the back of the computer, since that's where all the other ports were. It took some time for PC makers to realize that USB ports weren't just for permanently installed equipment like printers or modems, and to start redesigning cases or using drive bay breakouts to make the ports more accessible.

Dude, Game Pass is spectacular and completely optional. Want to pay $15/mo and have access to basically every game that exists for the Xbox (including $79 games on launch), sign up for it. Want to still buy the games and own them for $79? You can do that too.

Also, your last sentence about exclusivity is a really strange point when comparing to Nintendo - which literally only does that. (And has extremely vicious customer unfriendly pricing. Breath of the Wild is still $60 5 years later).
Don't forget memory. Intelligent processes are also a rather involved development of the state of the agents memory.

Take for example Conway's Game of Life. Initial state is "perceived" from the seeder. From there it's a perception-less process.

They say Einstein ruminated ten years on relativity. Did he need much perception for his absolutely not useless result?
The feature you're referring to is const generics which is different than generic associated types (GATs) which is the feature being stabilized.

Only if you exercise the options, you won't exercise the options if it's not profitable to you.
I was interested as well, but couldn't find anything specifically answering the question. According to the link below social media, email and watching videos counts for about three-quarters of most people's internet usage, which could easily mean they spend most time on just three or four sites. The two smallest categories - searching and shopping - could also just mean Google and Amazon for the most part, so it's the "Surfing content (19%)" that's ambiguous... although even then I assume that Google is a big part of that, and otherwise surfing for content is pretty much the opposite of visiting a site regularly, although I guess it probably includes news websites, which probably are a regular visit.

I'd guess that it is possible most people visit a dozen or fewer websites regularly, of which half a dozen or so are in the Top 10, and the rest include things like news/media sites that are most likely to be popular (if only nationally). Seems likely the older the person the narrower range of things they do online, apparently the most common activities for the over-60s are email and checking the weather lol.

You call allowing rampant looting / shoplifting "justice minded"?
I made an API for a bank... I was a third party and made the API by screen scraping their webUI. I sent their devs a link and initially there were positive messages going back and forth.

The API allowed you to see balance, transaction history, and make payments.

Before long, the API got quite popular, and lots of people were using it to make lots of payments automatically.

You know what makes money laundering super easy... a banking API so you can split the million dollars you want to launder into 1 million 1 dollar payments. And an API client which lets you treat each login cookie and account as an object in python.

Before long, the API and all users who had ever used it were perma-banned from the bank, because it was determined they posed too high a fraud/money-laundering risk.

I'm still salty because, after spending a week of my life building and refining that API, they banned me and 6 years later still claim they can't return the $350 that was in the account because they are still 'investigating'.
For quite a while, floppy disks exceeded the system memory by at least one order of magnitude.
I would think the impending collapse of the tech sector might be a bigger concern, but I think there's still plenty of time for people getting laid off right now.
Damn it doesn't even use WebGL context, just plain canvas 2d drawing api, congrats to the dev, great job
US vs. Microsoft
Sure.

It seems like a pattern for languages that try to be more pragmatic. Instead of a Big Idea, turtles-upon-turtles approach that would take years to finalize in a form that doesn’t invalidate everything that came before it, one goes for an initially good enough approach and then release more and more features which to the insider might seem very holistic but to an outsider (like me) just sound like Static Runtime-Bounded Polyhydral Lambda Cube Type Capabilities and Associates.
Except no one use it for any serious games. Godot is praised there and there on HN but in the real world of making games most people don't know about it and certainly won't use it. atm it's good a indie engine.

Edit: the downvote party is there, where are the game built with godot again?
Appreciate you clarifying that your statements are basically arguing against one big straw man.
> While engaging in any transaction with Tornado Cash or its blocked property or interests in property is prohibited for U.S. persons, interacting with open-source code itself, in a way that does not involve a prohibited transaction with Tornado Cash, is not prohibited. For example, U.S. persons would not be prohibited by U.S. sanctions regulations from copying the open-source code and making it available online for others to view, as well as discussing, teaching about, or including open-source code in written publications, such as textbooks, absent additional facts. Similarly, U.S. persons would not be prohibited by U.S. sanctions regulations from visiting the Internet archives for the Tornado Cash historical website, nor would they be prohibited from visiting the Tornado Cash website if it again becomes active on the Internet.

This is very reasonable! It balances economic sanctions around money laundering and transmittal with freedom of speech.
this is what my latest interaction with instagram looked like before i deactivated the account:

It actually is a fine comparison. At ~140 chars on a browser, JS can do this: https://www.dwitter.net/d/26107 . That's not idiomatic JavaScript, but then, people had to work hard for the old roms as well.

https://pythongeeks.org/what-is-python-programming-language/ (among many other sources) says it's inspired by Monty Python and their show Monty Python's Flying Circus. Monty Python being a comedy troupe similar to Broken Lizard or Kids in the Hall, I thought they'd qualify squarely as a group of people.

Note the language itself is highly influenced by Modula-3 and ABC. ABC was a form of Basic not to many people remember these days that among its features had significant leading whitespace for statement grouping. So you can't blame/credit Guido entirely for that one.
Ah, that's a good point. It's sort of the opposite: now the option holder can wait longer to decide if this is a worthwhile investment, vs "You have 30 days to exercise this or you get nothing".

The better question is, what if you change a comment?

It checksums the preprocessed files, so neither `__DATE__`, no comment changes should affect your build times.
Here's an underrated application: allowing "view bag" types where one can register a concrete object with its type.
Flags and votes don't counteract each other, they're separate axes. The opposite to a flag is "vouch".

On these plates, I would think stars effectively are point light sources (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point_source#Visible_electroma...)

If so, there’s not much more to see on these plates than position and brightness (I assume these were black and white plates, as color photography still was fairly experimental in 1870)

Also they didn’t make the map to look at individual stars (they wouldn’t use “pictures of an enormous 3x2 degrees of the sky” for that), but to answer questions such as whether the distribution of stars is uniform or whether stars move relatively to each other in the sky. For both, you need positions.
Yeah, absolutely.

A company finds itself in a situation where it needs to reduce headcount for reasons. Do you a) just role the dice and randomly pick who goes? or b) Have managers rank their performers and use it to get rid of the lower performers or protect their most valuable people? In a case like this is means some variation of "you're too expensive for what you do for us."

Tell HN: Seeing an HN ad for YC company that portends AI-powered blogspam
I just saw the following ad on HN.

> Contentedge (YC W17) is hiring to build AI content writing software for SEO

From its landing page there's the following sentence:

> Instantly create briefs or text that’s modeled after high-ranking content and sounds human-made.

This kind of service seems specifically designed to drown the Internet in blogspam, even more so than it already is, and hence worries me.

I know it was inevitable given the rise of convincing AI text generation and sure if one company doesn't do it another will (and no doubt there are already those that do), but please Contentedge, reconsider if this is truly the product you want to create for this world.
Completely unrelated: I was impressed by this interview for being no-BS and interesting. It's such a rare occasion that I actually think to myself "ooh, I wonder if this site has more good articles like this."

The Framework forum is dominated by Linux users. It makes sense that the forum would skew towards enthusiasts who like to tinker, but I wonder what the actual numbers are. I've speculated that the Framework DIY edition has created more new desktop Linux users than anything else in recent history.
Yet it happens in many companies, when team is working on non-critical systems or in extreme cases, even on critical systems. I sometimes feel like some people in IT are detached from reality, not everything is mission critical system and not everything has high quality, because there's a lot of people in IT with all kind of background and there all kind of clients with different sets of requirements. It's business, not utopia.
I wish I knew rust so I could contribute, as I think that's the best one. FDB has the best durability/transactional guarantees of any key/value store that's distributed as far as I've seen. Syclla for example is also pretty great but doesn't have the same guarantees for transactions.

Right—in some sense it's not really Windows' fault that something like Git is barely-portable and relies on a rube-goldberg-machine pile of scripts and binaries in several languages with the result that it has to ship half a unix environment to work somewhere that's very non-unix, or that open-source software in general treats Windows the way web developers treat Firefox.

OTOH, in practice, if you're using a lot of open source tools and have developers working on every single halfway-plausible OS except windows, things are probably pretty OK, but then you throw Windows in the mix and suddenly the time you spend supporting your builds & tools shoots way up. That makes it feel like it's Windows' fault.
I recently refactored some traits that had a lot of repetitive noise in the generic type parameters (which end up being reflected in function signatures etc). I went about this without really being overly aware of GATs and their status, but the code that I naturally ended up with required enabling them.

So from my point of view, I didn't really need to understand what GATs were bringing - it's a lifting of restrictions that would have previously felt arbitrary.
Lots of stories like this in finance. In Flash Boys book, it discuss finance firms laying 800 miles of fiber across mountains just for trading. Bloomberg terminal tracks oil tankers. Hedge funds using satellite photos to see how busy shopping malls are. To take that even further, a hedge fund hired hundreds of people to sit in Luckin Coffee stores to track traffic and what customers purchased... on and on.

And here I am designing physical consumer products thinking the people in EDA have it good.

A single license of CAD software with an FEA analysis add-on can easily run you $15k. Then the thought of shelling out for physical product testing will make you cry yourself to sleep.
> We stopped reading newspapers

I didn't stop reading newspapers because of ads. I stopped reading newspapers because a handful of large companies bought them all and turned them into crap.
>and it’s actually quite nice for development

If we are talking about stuff like backend web development then I'd say no, it's actually a pain to work with - few people bother deploying to Windows these days, many libraries/frameworks treat it like a second class citizen, tooling doesn't translate well (or at all).

Even frontend webdev is very unixy due to node/npm and popularity of Macs in that space.

When you're talking about OpenCV, GPU related things, game dev then the situation is reversed.

So it highly depends on what you're developing.
I don't know. There's plenty of posts from my friends. I just don't see them because I'm not willing to wade through all of the junk ads and sponsored stuff.
So since you can abuse eval() in a wacky way, that means JS should be compared to compiled code? I don’t understand your point.
> Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem: any sufficiently rich formal system, together with an interpretation, has strings which are true but unprovable.

This is only half of it!

Gödel's Incompleteness Theorem states that any sufficiently rich formal system, together with an interpretation, either has strings which are true but unprovable or has strings which are provable but untrue. Either is possible! In practice people prefer to have true things that can't be proven rather than provable things that are untrue. But either is possible.
