Yeah, I meant John Romero, sorry. And Carmack didn't leave gaming for enterprise "ASAP". He had a long and storied career in games.
I would say Romero was "worth his salt" as a programmer, whatever that vague metric means.

Jonathan Blow made two games with engines developed from scratch. I don't know how you think that's "not particularly impressive" for a solo person, unless you have never tried to actually ship a game. With or without a custom engine.

I was just trying to pick programmer examples that people would know. Probably didn't make my point very well, which was that there are plenty of programmers "worth their salt" in the gaming industry, and who chose to stay in it. To state otherwise is just fucking idiotic.
The version of Unit 4 that we use at work only works in Chrome.

That said, lately, that particular thing has been the only one that I need to use that outright doesn't work.

I think a number of Google technologies are slower in Firefox on purpose, but I just avoid them and keep telling competition authorities about their abuse of power.

Sooner or later they will get caught.
The number one most obese job is a truck driver. Your hypothesis is that chemicals cause obesity. You cite cleaning services workers as receiving substantially more chemicals due to their work than the average person. Why then, are truckers more obese? If this is the primary factor causing obesity, and these people are receiving substantially more exposure than everyone else, why aren't they substantially the fattest group?

Also fwiw, the idea that healthcare support workers are supposed to represent the largest exposure to PFAS because they're handling garments is ridiculous. I doubt healthcare support workers are even in the top 10% of actual exposure levels.
True.

I love that lil guy like you wouldn't believe :)
Is it possible the court will just say "Plaintiffs get a one-time opportunity to declare the source of and withdraw their funds from the contract"?

I don't know if this is the sort of thing a court can do but it seems like the obvious solution to eliminate the damages to the plaintiffs while keeping the sanction in place.
"What is an API?" is one of my favorite interview questions.

Your answer gets full points. Partial credit for knowing what the initialism stands for, and having some valid explanation in the context of HTTP.

As another example, one of my internships involved development of software patches so that the company's software could interact with various electron microscopes via their proprietary APIs.
"...asking the subject about their eating habits over the last period"
Safari and Orion are based on WebKit. WebKit and Chromium are quite different these days.
> They also eat a lot (generally) more mushrooms and fermented food (and great variety of fermented food - not just yeast based stuff like yogurt).

Not that this detracts from the rest of your point at all, but yogurt is fermented by bacteria. There are milk drinks that are fermented by SCOBY though, like kefir.
Talking about cringe, the furry stuff does in my opinion also negatively impact impression of the article. Also I distinctly remembered extremely similar blog written by someone with different name, but apparently author changed it yet again.
Which the Cirrus is. Is there a reason they selected this design?

Vision Jet is a great airplane with a sound design. But they are akin to the general aviation equivalent of a Ferrari or Lamborghini. Lots of fun and perfectly safe if you know what you’re doing. Disastrous if not.

It really just comes down to training. An aircraft with this level of performance would have only been flown by someone with an ATP certificate 20 years ago. Now anyone with money and a PPL + type rating can get into situations they have no ability to correct.
I can say that when my son left for college last fall, our electric bill dropped about $30 a month compared to the months he was here (after adjusting for seasonal heating/cooling costs). He has an i9-12xxx gaming rig with two monitors. A Prusa 3D printer that gets a lot of use and a few other gadgets and such.
I'm a hetro white male, so there can be ony 1 reason why I was hired

This is constraining the definition of protected class.

For example, if you're over 40 or a veteran, there could be the same doubt regardless if you are hetero and white. And that says nothing of non-visible disability status. The list is surprising long of protected classes so we'd probably do our organizations a service to not presume we know if someone belongs to one.
We are still struggling to get SAML integrations to production. The actual standard isn't that bad (its just XML and X509...), the hard part is getting the business to understand certain caveats. SSO is not a win-win situation. It is an exercise in trade-offs.

It took an entire meeting to get our stakeholders to understand the unfortunate implications of single sign out... Also, asking the question "do all your SSO apps operate in the same security context" was a great way to summon some additional dragons.

We ultimately wound up at something where SAML can initiate sessions in our application, but the user is forced to re-authenticate with the IdP every time (so we eliminated the first S). Additionally, once a session is initiated, there is no taking it back from an IdP perspective. The only way to revoke a session is from our software via an internal timeout or application-specific logout action.

So, really all we've done is implement same sign-on. Single sign-on is emerging as some sort of fantasy timeline where everyone still works in a secure physical office and can associate shared tokens to a time clock or badge system.
My experience with the homeless is limited, but I feel this isn't true.

I've heard from friends that work with the homeless, as well as from reading online, that many of the homeless feel invisible. People don't stop to talk to them, they don't make eye contact, they don't say "hello" while passing on the street.

From this I feel that treating the homeless as people -- even if it isn't something that tangibly benefits them -- is beneficial. Making small talk, or even just making eye contact and saying "good morning" while walking by would make them feel a little more human.

Obviously this doesn't solve the problem, and I expect that most homeless would prefer food and shelter over chit-chat, but when we're talking about "compassion for the homeless", I think that this fits perfectly in that hole.
Well there is shortage of PHY chips. Decent TI chips go for 50$ a piece over broker. Minimum order quantity 200 pieces. We took ancient Realtek parts for 7$ from broker. Normally it’s <4$. These are sad news from last 2 months. Regular distribution channels have zero stock with funny lead times of 1,5 years.

Yeast is a fungus? So if you eat bread or drink wine/beer you're probably consuming some amount of fungus that way.
Fun data point from Kentucky. When Daniel Boone discovered the cumberland gap and made way for settlers to settle in Kentucky, kentucky was ~80% forest land, and most of that was because native americans burned sections of kentucky for crops and living space.

~~100 years ago, kentucky had below 50% forest coverage, today it's over 90%, more than it's ever been in recorded history.~~

These numbers came from a speech the head of ketucky's forestry service gave to my college polsci class, they disagree with what google says is the truth. These numbers may be false.
So how do these companies know the sexual preference of a candidate? They just ask in the interview?
It’s not that it isn’t positive, but as another poster said astutely, a tree <> tree. Love me some trees, glad we are planting them, but that doesn’t mean that putting a rando tree in my front yard is actually having any meaningful impact over not cutting down a tree in the Amazon.
You did the homework, I estimated.
"A significant rise in obesity incidence has even been noted in laboratory rodents and primates – animals raised under strictly controlled conditions of caloric intake and exercise. The only possible factors driving weight gain for these animals, researchers believe, would be subtle chemical changes in the nature of the foods they eat, or in the materials used to build their pens."

You're right, that line from Shakespeare is even quoted in the paper. From the list of sayings they had collected from various languages, Greek seems like the most popular comparison, followed by Chinese. But since there's a Greek saying that uses Chinese in its comparison, it is Chinese that ends up at the end of the graph.

Edit: I went back to check and that is not right. Chinese wins out by a lot. I simply misremembered.
The potency of affirmative action is a really good example. You seem to be dismissing his points when they are actually quite on the money.
You can't if the method is in the standard library, or really any third-party code you don't control.

That's one of the biggest advantages of profile-guided optimization that works at the bytecode/IR level. It can recognize that generic libraries are only ever called with a single concrete type, and then specialize them to that type, and then inline the data representations of the concrete data types you actually pass, and then inline all the accessors that access that data.

To do that AOT you need to rewrite the library, which usually defeats the purpose of having libraries in the first place.
This is certainly an interesting one if true

IPC is a thing - clockspeed optimized architectures like Alpha and the Pentium 4 just didn't get as much done per cycle or had much harsher penalties when the pipeline stalled, even though they ticked faster.

Comparing the whole system against an actual task is the only way to really measure - everything else, including the clockspeed, is marketing.

“overbooked calendar”: the ultimate status symbol
The modular ports is probably a good idea, but I also find the chosen module size a bit of a uncomfortable middle ground.

On the one hand, they're too small for some very obvious standard ports you might want on a laptop, like for example an RJ45 port. Or multiple/vertical USB-A ports. And they're too small by a relatively small amount, so if the laptop had aimed more at Thinkpad T size thickness (still not terribly thick) rather than Macbook Air thickness, the modules would have been much more flexible (and maybe we could have had even better keyboard options).

A really significantly sized bay would have been quite interesting too - old T-series used to allow you to add a second battery, a big bay could have allowed breakouts for sensors, fpga add ons, etc. Perhaps allowing a double-wide might have been a good way of addressing both.

On the other hand, the modules are still pretty chunky. You don't want to be using one out of its slot, I don't know what sacrifices were made in terms of space in order to have what in many peoples laptops are going to be pass throughs, but the Framework has a relatively disappointing battery, so perhaps that's an effect of the reserved space.
>We have seen world wide that schools are THE most effective tool for lifting people out of poverty. We also see that the countries with the best schools are dominating the world economy.

What does this even mean? The US spends more an education than anyone else and it dominated the world's economy because it's blown up everyone else who tried. This is a tautology. The countries with the schools people who rank schools like best are ranked best. That doesn't mean they are actually best.

Schooling absolutely helps people get out of poverty. But that doesn't mean it's the type of school that dominant in the West. We have a school and university system that's extended day care and teaches both incredibly slowly and way too fast. With smaller classes we could reduce the 12 years of schooling the average child gets today to 4. We never will because the parents don't know what to do with them and there aren't any jobs for 12 year olds.
I think there's are a lot more crossover than that. The thing that needs to be almost universally unlearnt when switching mediums is academic writing. Writing fiction and non-fiction for a general audience, most of the same rules apply.

Of course it all depends on what you call good writing. For me the best writing to come out of the 20th century were journalists like Hemingway (and about 1% of his imitators/peers) who applied the rules of journalism to fiction and the "new journalists" who applied the techniques of novel writing to journalism (and then in Wolfe's case went back the other way).
Ask HN: Best time-delayed news sites
I've heard of several sites that time-delay news on a week/month/year schedule. What are the best ones/do you have a favorite?

Bonus: Is there any similar site for HN? I'd love to be able to view a 'top 10 posts of last week', because I spend way too much time on here :)
The major difference between a CPU and, say, an oven, is that the former runs 24/7, whereas an the latter would run for a short period of time.

Back of the envelope calculation here:

Assuming an average oven consumes 2kWh, and a CPU 0.1kWh:

Oven for four hours (average weekly usage) would be 2 * 4 = 8kWh weekly.

CPU for 24 hours, 7 days a week = 0.1 * 24 * 7 = 16.8kWh weekly.
"NCLB" curricula focus on the basics for a reason - we're failing to teach those basic skills. Maybe we need a system that's not so terrible for the "average" below-students (as opposed to those who expressly get skilled teaching attention as 'special-needs' cases).

In sufficiently new versions of cmake you can use cmake --build -j as well. It will be translated to whatever argument is required for the underlying build system to use parallel compilation, e.g. -j for make and -m for msbuild.

Well. Considering how WP is basically ~50% of all websites on the planet, that would indeed classify its 'the world' who thinks that they need those 'badly-written' (whatever that means), buggy (is there non-buggy code anywhere), insecure (any software that gets used by 50% of the Internet without security issues?) WordPress plugins.

Really, his/her perspective just feels like a junior dev's perspective. Or the perspective of a senior dev who never had to take at least a position like a tech lead. And god forbid any kind of actual interaction with the end users in a given ecosystem.
You can't "execute ANY content natively on any platform".

It is true that the things that you list are the actual problems, and there are many others, too. The modern WWW is a too messy design, and additionally to that, web pages and web browsers are also badly designed.

I had partially written specification of "VM3", which hopefully will be an improvement for cross-platform application programs. There is no CSS, nor Unicode (well, technically you can include Unicode text fragments, but it is discouraged), and it is independent of protocols (so you can use with local files, DVD, HTTP(S), Gemini, etc, but none of these are required nor is it limited to any specific kind). All I/O must be done using extensions (identified by UUID), which require a specification; it also has a mechanism for polyfills which is (in my opinion) superior than that of WWW. Furthermore, is intended better for the end user controls/customizations. Also, some of the internal design decisions I have done differently due to things that I think are better than what are currently done (e.g. how linking works, and many features use a binary format, etc). Extension declarations can also be linked with each other, too (note that this is linking the interface, not the implementation; the implementation is deliberately not specified by VM3).

Some VM designs are good for interpreted, and some are good for JIT, but I think that to make implementations competitive, and improve efficiency, it may be better for the design to be good for both, so that is what I have tried to do. For example, there are restrictions on how branch addresses can be derived (e.g. one feature is that you cannot store branch addresses in general registers).

VM3 cannot "execute ANY content natively on any platform" (and nor can anything else), but my intention is to make something better than existing systems.

Things similar to TerseNet, and other possible different things people will want to make, some of them may be possible as specific subsets of VM3. An implementation of VM3 can then support specific subsets or can have full capabilities (preferably, configurable by end user).
Hah. Was just now reading about Lenin and Bolsheviks being worried about a post-revolutionary leader emerging from Red Army, as it had happened with Napoleon and the French Revolution.

Mobilization is definitely a double-edged sword.

The second claim comes from something I heard mentioned the other day in relation to a New Yorker article about parents finding out during covid lockdowns that their elementary school kids couldn't read hardly at all. I guess they've changed the teaching styles so kids don't really learn like most millenials did.

FWIW, here's what I was found on Google:

> According to the National Center for Educational Statistics (NCES), 21 percent of adults in the United States (about 43 million) fall into the illiterate/functionally illiterate category.
> why is it okay to assume that white people don't have interesting things to say?

I mean, basic statistics: in a group of 20 white men and 1 black woman, all else being equal, the black woman is likely to have radically different experiences.

> How do you know that?

I think this because I routinely run into examples in the vein of "this cool facial recognition tech doesn't recognize black people".

There's obviously some very low-hanging fruit in terms of having even one voice who will look at the situation and notice stuff like that.

All that said: Obviously a white person can notice that, and a black person can miss it. It's just statistics. And a white person can still be diverse along a dozen other axes! If you want to sell your product to conservatives, you probably want at least one conservative on your team for the same reason!
> Older trees that are maintaining a steady state should consume a net of almost 0 CO2.

They are a storage of CO2. If we replaced all old trees with new ones we will gain a lot of potential for CO2 capture but at the cost of releasing massive amounts of CO2 to the atmosphere.

You are right. But I think that the point was to notice that we may have lost many good trees even if we are trying to add new ones.

If you are a "digital art" community, clearly you have already accepted some digital tools.

I do think it makes logical sense to try and ban "AI" art if it is not what the community is interested in. It's likely not just about pretty images. They might value the mental process, the individual's style, progression, techniques, and yes, the effort. Someone coming in with generated images expecting to be treated the same is to me a bit like commissioning art from someone else, and then presenting that as your own. The images might be great, but it's not in the spirit of the community. There must be tons of "AI" focused communities for that.

I suppose they will eventually fail at resisting this, but that's another matter.
Fourteen years, so far.
