I've been watching his YouTube videos on developing the LibJS and LibWeb components. They are interesting and show that this kind of thing can be done.

As a larger point, it is important to have multiple web stacks so that no one player can dictate what the web should look like, or gate access through that stack. Having this new stack grow to the point where it is becoming a viable alternative is great to see.

Why do we focus so much on TDP or max boost? How often and for how long are you running your CPU at max? I'd like to have the performance there when I need it but for most of the day I am sitting near idle.
The thought process was to keep people working. The reality was that about 40 out of hundreds of employees there were involved in keeping things flowing that day. The ISP was located in Northern Virginia near Dulles airport where the flight which crashed into the Pentagon took off from and a large percentage there knew someone that worked at the Pentagon including in many cases family members.
> The prevalence of hate tweets was lowest at moderate temperatures (12 to 21°C) and marked increases in the number of hate tweets were observed at hotter and colder temperatures, reaching up to 12·5% (95% CI 8·0–16·5) for cold temperature extremes (–6 to –3°C) and up to 22·0% (95% CI 20·5–23·5) for hot temperature extremes (42 to 45°C). Outside of the moderate temperature range, the hate tweets also increased as a proportion of total tweeting activity

Edit: actually just checked what's wrong again.

When running with cmd, I get an error about Python 2 being used instead of Python3:

C:\Users\USERNAME>pip --version
Fatal error in launcher: Unable to create process using '"c:\python27\python.exe" "C:\Python27\Scripts\pip.exe" '
C:\Users\USERNAME>pip --version

When running with Git Bash, I don't get any output whatsoever:

USER@MACHINE MINGW65 ~
$ pip --version

USER@MACHINE MINGW65 ~

As it turns out, PATH has both Python 3 and Python 2 in it. Why is there also Python 2 on the machine? A legacy project that needs testing whilst migrating it over? Helping someone with an older script? Who even knows at this point.

My takeaways:

1. following the first Google result (python.org and the official installer) wasn't the problem here
2. Python 2 and Python 3 don't play nicely together, at all, might need to remove the old one from PATH to avoid headaches
3. Specifying the Python interpreter to use (my example above, or better yet explicit python3) solved the issue
4. Certain shells are weird sometimes, go figure
5. What you're saying about pyenv is probably a good idea

Or maybe even something like PyCharm which lets you specify the runtime per project (much like you could specify which JDK to use with IntelliJ for Java).

Hopefully by the time Python 4 comes out and breaks everything, we'll already have figured out use cases like this (just kidding, sort of).

Node feels much the same way, especially because it moves ahead a bit more quickly with its releases and has less backwards compatibility when compared to Python. Somehow projects like Node Version Manager (https://github.com/nvm-sh/nvm) didn't really seem to gain much traction.

Adding to this the military have always been really good about leaving out important details about that tuition. An example would be the GI Bill. One has 10 years to use that funding once they leave active duty. By the time people learn about this it is usually too late.
> Any programmer worth their salt wants to jump ship over to the enterprise side of things ASAP, where both the pay and the conditions are much better

I read ignorant shit about the game industry all the time on HN, but this is so beautifully ignorant, arrogant and demonstrative of what is wrong with software developers that if wish HN had gold to give.

I suppose John carmack, George Romero and jonathon blow would be sad to learn they’re not worth their salt.

Lest someone argue that I’m picking outliers, you’ll just have to take my word that in my years at Microsoft and then in games I have seen brilliant programmers (and bad ones) in both environments. And many of the best in games tried to stick it out at “enterprise software” (google, msft, SV unicorns) but always left within a year despite bags of money being hurled at them.

Sorry if this sounds harsh but I am so tired of people who’ve never walked a mile in the shoes, telling a walker how they must suck at walking. It’s endemic on HN, for all kinds of things, not just games.
People ate fast food and drove everywhere in 80s/90s what changed that it's worse now?
Current architecture, no - this big+little architecture just started with the last generation, like a year ago I think? However, if you mean process node, then yes, I think this is on the same one they’ve been using for awhile. But they have 2-3 more nodes coming in the next 3-4 years. If they don’t screw those up, they should be ok. That’s a big if, though.

They’re also changing to a chiplet-based architecture with their next Xeon line which will be interesting.
It's a cool pet project, but not realistic. Even Mozilla can't compete. There isn't anything "new" to be done that will give a browser an edge over chromium.

And the elephant in the room, regardless of adoption it will never be on iphone.
I don't think mathematics is a tool invented by humans. We see that who ever designed the shell of the snail knew about math and used it. The more interesting question for me is, did the designer of the snail shell use the mathematics like humans are using mathematics, or if that designer also invented the rules of mathematics.
It absolutely is. 100% not for environmental reasons, but because civilian nuclear power supports a nuclear military (by e.g. sharing costs, skills, industrial ecosystem).

In Finland's case the French state
(Areva) provided the indirect €5 billion subsidy to get this plant built. Finland wasnt going to shoulder the full costs itself. It has no military nuclear interests. France does.

The Soviets built their other one.

The military is the underlying driver for nuclear power everywhere. Recent environmentalism is just moral cover for the real goal. It's always < 3/4 the cost of a combined solar, wind and pumped storage run grid.

The German green/anti nuclear coalition was a particular threat because it was (until the war) demonstrating a model that threatened to economically undermine civilian nuclear power globally.
> Say you run Hinkley Point C [1] at a capacity factor of 50% because renewable crowd it out

Very bad projection because:

- Hinkley Point C, Olkiluoto 3 and EPR Flamanville are all prototype. Their CAPEX cost are not representative of industrialized Nuclear. As example, the production cost as expressed by the French ARENH is around 42-1€/MWh [1]

- Electricity price skyrocket when weather conditions make production of renewable impossible. This is where this kind of plant make a profit. [2] Your projection just fit a worst case scenario.

- At the current electricity price due to the Russian conflict, Some EPRs including the French ones are predicted to be cost effective in only few years.

For what it's worth:

it took a worldwide pandemic slowing down the rate of schedules maintenance along with a rare, unexpected potential failure along with the consequences of 30 years of not investing in training new people in the nuclear sector for it to happen, and France is still doing just as well/bad as neighbouring countries (actually, Germany with their full renewabls push is doing much worse). It's relatively safe to say that it's not exactly a common thing.
Aaaaand we're back to the "serves-them-right" lowkey spiteful angle. I don't know, if I were a member in good standing of some Institution(TM) that is supposed to look out for me and work for my interests, and my government decided one day to throw me under the bus, I'd prefer the Institution(TM) didn't try its utmost to pitch in and throw me under the bus too. I hope you never face a similar problem in your life.
I wouldn't be surprised if 80% of the work spent on current webbrowsers is spent on maintaining compatiblity and edge cases.

I don't really see anything wrong with a browser that doesn't fully support every website and every weird example of HTML and CSS that a developer decided to hack together. If a browser supports the standards well and does a pretty good job of rendering modern websites then I'd happily trade failing to render some ancient HTML for a web browser that was truly open and free and doesn't send swathes of data about me back to some corporation.

Web browsers are compatible with old HTML because we choose to make them that way. That is a choice. If the cost of having a free and open browser is a requirement to drop some backwards compatibility with old HTML then I think that's actually quite a simple choice. After all, if people want to view an old website then they can still use Chromium or something. It's not like people have to pick a single browser and stick with it.
Before any one panics, please actually read the article. For some context, Peter Lawry is pretty famous for being the OpenHFT guy so he (rightfully) cares at scales that have very different concerns than general application code.

He's working at the scale of 67 million events per second. Yea, for him a single allocation looks like : 67.8 M event/s, 472 ns vs. 50.1 M event/s, 638 ns

As always with perf: scale and context matters! An allocation in these tests at these volumes was still only 160ns and at lower volumes was less than 50ns. These are closer to the scale of cache misses then a C malloc call.

The cons that the author of the post lists make it a no-go. From SQLite not going to work well on sites with multiple authors (a killer from the start) to 'web hosts NEEDING TO ACT RESPONSIBLY' for this to work, literally make this the effort of a OSS project unknown to the WP ecosystem (50% of the web) to force its way into that ecosystem withouth having found any widespread use and people having accommodated it.

If it was worth doing it, someone would have published a plugin for it and it would have been working already. WordPress provides filters for database functions as well. So whatever db you want to use, could be reliably integrated by injecting yourself in between the functions and the db.

Of course, this means that you will immediately face compatibility problems with all the 60,000+ plugins in the ecosystem. And those plugins wont make themselves compatible with SQLite, neither they will accept delirious propositions like 'Make it a requirement for getting accepted to plugin directory'.

People have businesses to run, lives to live. WP ecosystem is not a weekend OSS hobby project for 50% of the web that it runs. People's income, their livelihoods depend on it. Users and developers alike. Nobody will take such arrogance to force them to accommodate some obscure OSS project. Obscure, because you can be sure that 50% of the web that use WordPress have no idea what SQLite is. You, the other ecosystems that you are in and contributing, your professional circle, may have. But the average flower shop owner somewhere in the US and the anime blogger somewhere in Japan, have no freaking idea what SQLite is. And they don't care. They have other things to care about than an OSS project that is unknown to them.

The propositions and the mentality in this thread sound extremely arrogant, and it reminds one about the time when Google tried to force Google+ on the people by forcing them to link their Youtube accounts to Google+. We know how that ended up.

If the OSS project that you love is not gaining traction in a certain demographic, its because it doesn't have use cases there and it does not accommodate those people enough. You cant force people to use it in such a case. You must make it accommodate an actual need and make it easy to use it. Not try to force your way into another ecosystem.
It's not spiteful serves them right, it is what hard Brexit means, what was asked for.
Also because of the mention of "fossil" would have meant nothing to these young developers. The use of "git" immediately brings to mind version control and the question: what does sqlite use then?

I've recently started taking 'liraglutide', which is an appetite suppressant.

I haven't been taking it that long, but so far it's amazing -- I eat a balanced meal with an approriate amount of calories in it, and then I am full, and don't want to eat any more. Sometimes I snack and eat a biscuit, but then I don't feel any need to eat a second biscuit.

I'm not saying this is a long-term solution for me, or people in general, but what it has shown me is some people (me included) have managed to mess up their digestive systems badly enough it is incredibly hard to eat healthily -- I previously lost 8 stone (50 kg), but I was hungry every minute of every day, no matter what I tried. Once I had a bad patch I ended up putting all the weight back on.
You got that backwards, I'm saying React sucks :D

Just saying "cheeseburgers" or "calories in, calories out" fails to explain why people eat more calories now than they did before. There is a vague, and I think very unhelpful, sense in society today that this is some sort of mass moral failing. In reality there are a few factors that could, alone or in combination, explain this change in average behavior. The most convincing to me: chemicals could be messing with our endocrine systems and making us hungrier or food scientists could be designing more appealing food that just overloads our desires to eat.

The most "popular" chain in PoW is the one that has the most work.

How should someone determine the most "popular" chain in PoS based on the chain history alone? Is it the one with the most 'staked'?

The problem (which PoW doesn't have) is that alternative versions of valid PoS history can be generated at zero or close to zero cost.
Remember folks: building one of the most complicated projects humanity has ever had to do, with resource costs that would overshadow pretty much anything else in the world is super easy to do for the first time. At least, when it come to renewables, that is.
Would it change your perception if you look at overeating as a symptom rather than a cause?
A common enough symptom for untreated diabetes is eccessive thirst. Why should some ailments not cause lack of satiety or edcessive hunger.
Or even metabolic issues. Complex ones.

Imagine that the basis for the obesity pandemic may in fact lie in other, lack of proper digestive bacteria and yeast for example.
I feel that pointing at obesity as just lazyness is just not constructive.
I am not obese and have never suffered from it so this is not from a point of self defense.
Just a thought.
Fast food portions being larger, poorer eating habits passed on from generation to generation, the internet, the smartphone, presumably more stress and anxiety.
> The cost of object creation can be far higher than cleaning them up if they are very short-lived.

I thought this problem was solved decades ago? Doesn't Java have a well-tuned generational garbage collector that can handle this?

.Net was hyper-optimized for this over a decade ago with its 3-generation system, where the 0th generation allowed for extremely rapid allocation and collections. I thought Java had similar capabilities?

(Summary, which BTW is probably outdated)

0 generation: Pre-allocate a continuous chunk of RAM. Every allocation goes to the next bytes of the chunk. When there's no more free RAM left, find all reachable objects in the 0 generation and copy them to the 1 generation.

1 generation: Works the same as the 0 generation, except it's larger and objects are copied to the 2 generation.

2 generation: Garbage collections here are traditional "mark and sweep" collections.
> category theory is completely detached from reality

One could very easily object to that, computable structure theory sounds very concrete indeed.

But even taking that statement at face value, you are not really disproving that math is a tool. It is a tool for describing formal thinking. For example, a forgetful functor from Grp to Set is the formalization of the idea that you may take the underlying set from a group "forgetting" about the algebraic structure. There is value in having language and tools to describe that kind of thinking, even if it is very abstract.

The choice of which mathematical objects to study is basically arbitrary. This is not to say that math is useless, quite the opposite. It's probably the most consequential human invention after writing, but I'm very skeptical of trying to assign metaphysical meanings to it.
From what I read about the EPR fiasco in France, Finland and the UK, there are always many contractors and subcontractors involved. Some delays were due to a real lack or loss of industrial knowledge and tooling (many components of the EPR are considerably larger than those of previous reactor designs) which can explain poor procurement choice, others are more easily explained by construction companies that were just not up to the task, when it's "just" faulty concrete or welding.

With current machine learning (neural networks as I understand them) I believe that there is no "intelligence". But I think it's possible to create an A^ pattern and my paper provides bounding around this area to make it possible. Whether it is computationally efficient to train an AI from a bottom up approach (np-incompleteness) or if it would return results that would be communicable between the AI and a human if it did I do not know. I need to make A^ more formal and find a specific example, but I think it may be possible to create a model using an image classifier (not a neural network as is currently done with say hand writing OCR).

The truth is a significant portion of managers, in my experience, are not particularly well suited to the task or are incompetent on some level. Usually their domain level knowledge of what is happening is lower than it should be, so they struggle with leading teams because they’re not as good at knowing what’s going on as they should be.

One way to mask that incompetence and lack of domain level knowledge, in my experience is to come by the workers and look over their shoulders and ask questions.

This is not a problem managers who are experts in what their workers are doing have. But those people in my experience are a minority. They are hired by high performing companies, everything in the middle and down get the cruft.

High performing managers don’t need this, because they know what’s going on even if everyone is at home. They can see who’s slow, who’s fast, who’s delivering what they need. And they know why and how to fix things very quickly.

Poor performing low domain level knowledge managers struggle with this, because they can’t “look over the shoulder”, and ask questions until they have some understand of what’s going on that allows them to (attempt to) fix things.

Thus low to mid performing managers do poorly at WFH while high performing managers are fine with it (in my experience). Having the “over the shoulder” view does indeed allow for lower performance managers to get a grip on a project so I understand why they want to keep it.
I wanted to find an account of what the biggest sources of PM2.5 are in the US. This article discusses traffic fumes (24% of PM2.5), but I was surprised to learn that by far, the largest source of PM2.5 - 45% - is “unspecified sources of human origin.”

Where does that stuff come from? Well, it’s created in the atmosphere via secondary reactions between agricultural NH3 emissions, SO2 and NOx emissions from shipping and industrial activities and power generation, and NMVOCs from industrial processes and consumption of solvents.[1]

Those reactions seem like an interesting area of study and those chemicals involved are far less-often discussed as sources of air pollution even though they seem to combine to form the biggest source
