I don't _feel_ like my working memory is particularly large, but that's also a hopelessly subjective assessment.

Maybe it's more like my working memory can hold more things by aggressively discarding details until I need them - same capacity, but with better lossy compression. Not sure if I could measure that either, but it feels closer.
Namco System 12: The Fastest Route to the Third Dimension
Imagine next gen consoles, suppose they stick with AMD. Then every game studio and game engine studio is going to love flinging some AVX-512 around. Developers will get more experience with it, any game that runs on PC and Console is going to look slow on PC if you have intel cpus with bad support. More libraries and tools will get created that people will want to use.

Adoption could accelerate quick!
Yeah exactly, generate json instead. I now have some GitHub Actions config in Python, and some in Nix. Nix is actually really nice for this. Like yaml it has less line noise than json and it support comments, but unlike yaml the language is extremely simple without weird corner cases to make it "easier", and it has variables and functions so you can write reusable jobs.

>Can you imagine how much we could advance if the whole of Industry contributed and published their 'non-secret sauce' research in the same way academia currently does.

How much faster would scientists produce findings if they only needed to follow laws and didn't need the IRB unless they were looking at experiments that might need legal exceptions. There is a reason we slow down scientists, now the question is how do we handle people doing similar but under a different name and funding model.
Oh well see - TIL that was a thing for tor :) Thanks for the education, I always appreciate that!!!

So it's similar in that way then, indeed. Including e2ee. I guess I need to brush up on tor's capabilities again. I'm sure there are other overlaps and other differences I'm just not all that aware of.
We separate user/kernel because if you don't it is trivial to change the page permissions of anything and that's game over.

It is important to note that different context switches have different costs some of which we have removed. It isn't just one thing. A hundred different processes running on 1 vcpu has a huge perf cost.
Not only that, but it means that a vulnerability in webkit or Safari impacts all iOS users. It's a gift to attackers.
It's essentially just a process running in a cgroup so performance shouldn't be all that different than bare metal/VM postgresql.

Main difference would be storage speed and how it exactly is attached to a container.

RDS tops out at about 18000 IOPS since it uses a single ebs volume. Any decent ssd will do much better. E.g. a 970 evo will easily do >100K IOPS and can do more like 400K in ideal conditions.

You can get that many IOPS with aurora, but the cost is exorbitant.
Nord Stream 2 pipeline pressure collapses mysteriously overnight
Firefox had that for a long time, hidden in a menu, but discoverable eventually. It also used to have a menu for Alternate Styles when a webpage included named LINKs to alternate styles (allowing pages to have a heavy, preferred default but offer the user other options, without needing to add a "theme picker" in the HTML somewhere).

Outside of dedicated "Reader Views" it seems like we've given up on the idea that might be something the browser should do. (Which, I appreciate the "Reader View" as an easier to discover way to do this, even if I think moving it into a "modal" with its own liminal space continues the narrative of the browser moving away from being a "user agent" to being an "application runtime".)
Correct. This article is regarding W-2 contract to hire (or temp to hire) agreements, and not consultancies.

> This means that anyone who wants to wipe Google Play off their Android device in favor of a 100% open source solution; will find that they have very few software choices for apps.

This is a common misconception. "Very few" is subjective, to be sure, but using a de-Googled device is not only possible for enthusiasts, but for anyone willing to make a minor effort to look for alternatives, of which there are plenty. The F-Droid store has many high quality apps, and Play Store apps can be installed via the Aurora Store. Even if they depend on Play Services APIs, projects like microG work pretty well to bridge the gap, and notifications and even banking apps work well over it.

The more difficult change is abandoning the Google / Meta ecosystem of services, but you can always use the browser or another device for these. There's no support for paid apps, unless you want to keep using your Google account with Aurora, or apps offer alternative payment options.

I've been running GrapheneOS on my main device for a few months now, and /e/OS on a secondary one for years, and haven't missed or needed to depend on any Google services.
The vast majority of open-source enthusiasts I have encountered, 99% of whom have never looked at a line of code, are advocates of open-source software for free beer reasons not for freedom reason.

There is almost a point where, like all language, the original meaning becomes obsolete and a new one takes over.
The only two 1-dimensional representations of the symmetric group (i.e., what you can call fixed points if you squint a bit) are the ones that correspond to the partitions (n) and (1,1,...,1), which are the least interesting ones. Everything else is significantly more complicated. It's a block-diagonalization (Young seminormal form) with lots of nontrivial blocks. So no, you won't understand it in terms of fixed points (and certainly not of Lawvere's theorem, which I've never seen used in the entire subject).
AWS RDS is 10x slower than BareMetal MySQL (both reads and writes). Slowness is mainly due to the reason that Storage is over network for RDS.

Not bad to invest some extra time to get better performance.

> there’s even an argument if it’s fuzzing if it’s random

One of the most important but oft overlooked aspects of proper fuzz testing is the corpus and mutation of the inputs from it. Detractors of fuzz testing often argue that they don’t see the value of it but they load up an empty corpus with a dumb fuzzer and wonder why they see thin to no results.

In my experience, you need to properly maintain a corpus to see the benefits of fuzz testing, and it’s often best to try starting from blank as well as from an existing corpus. For example, when fuzzing Go, I have used the AFL corpus with good results, since it comes preloaded with a bunch of error causing inputs.

You can do that without derivatives, integrals, complex numbers, sines, cosines, tangents, exponentials, square roots, or even addition and subtraction. If the pole is plumb, erect a pole smaller than you with a plumb bob, measure its length a and its shadow's length b, and then calculate the height of the original pole from its shadow's length c as ac/b.

If you have a slide rule, you can do this in a single motion: align c on the C scale over b on D and read off the answer on C above a on the D scale.

Just because it's customary doesn't make it right.
When the subject is documentation, I wonder whether the "docs as code" approach can make documentation both more findable and more easily contributable-to.

Put the (Markdown) docu for Foo in the same directory as Foo itself, making it super easy to keep the Foo docu up to date... while leaving it to a project meister to pull these somewhat scattered info-items (for the myriad values of Foo) into final user docu.
It's a lot more work than say Next.js and Vercel, but I suppose it costs a lot less to maintain in cash (trading cash for time).

Results may vary.

But I used my Radeon RX 6700 XT for mining nearly 24/7 for about 10 months (between purchase and when it paid itself off), while using it for gaming in between (I'd obviously stop mining). It ran around 65°C during that time. Very low core clocks, but memory was run at close to the maximum recommended speed by AMD's Adrenalin software. At least so far no signs of any problems.

You can count all kinds of things, but of the pieces of human anatomy, fingers are the most convenient because you can fold them while counting. Which is why they're also by far the most popular things to count worldwide, even if different societies use slightly different ways of doing so.

You can count to 12 that way, too, e.g. by folding the thumb first to indicate 1, and then unfolding it with the rest of the fingers folded when you get to 6. Or you can turn the fist upside down etc. Again, there are many techniques, but counting by folding or unfolding fingers is the simplest and the most obvious, which is why base-10 is the most common.
It does depend on the architecture and framework they are using imo. I have a single Hetzer machine with spinning plate HDs that serves between 1-2 million requests per day hitting DB and ML models and rarely every gets over 1% CPU usage. I have pressure-tested it to around 3k reqs/sec. On the other hand I have seen WP and CodeIgniter setups that even with 5 copies running on the largest AWS instances available, "optimized" to the hilt, caching everywhere possible, etc. absolute crumble under the load of 3k req per min. (not sec ... min).

Many frameworks that make early development easy fuck you later during growth with ORM calls, tons of unnecessary text in the DB, etc.

> This is why I have always been terrified of having to do a standard 'whiteboard' coding interview

I too don't like the idea of these, but in the case where you're solving a problem in front of someone I feel like as long as you explain your thought process you'd be generally fine. If you can't remember whether the method is length() or size() or something else just pick one and explain what you're doing. Intelligent interviewers would likely understand that you're familiar with the concepts and would be able to accept your result or let you compile/execute and fix the issue.
Well, and just the history, that literally every prior generation of PlayStation had one or more eventual size-reduced versions come out, though the time gap is clearly shrinking:

PSX launch was 1994, PSone in 2000.

PS2 launch was 2000, slim in 2004.

PS3 launch was 2006, slim in 2009, super slim in 2012.

PS4 launch was 2013, slim + pro in 2016.

It's interesting to see them roll out power-reduction die shrinks on the launch chassis— presumably they'll be able to monitor telemetry on these units over time and that'll allow them to build confidence on moving into a chassis with a drastically-reduced size and weight footprint.

Given that the PS5 launched in late 2020, it's not unreasonable to expect a PS5 slim for the 2023 holiday season.
clozemaster.com is a website that does exactly this (your second point).
I'd posit that it's not as simple. Maybe if you're just cranking out your one-off app or something of the sort...

But getting a good replication setup that's HA, potentially across multiple regions/zones, all abstracted under K8s - yea. That's not trivial. And, it can go very wrong.

I’ve personally deployed O(TBs) and O(10^4 TPS) Postgres clusters on Kubernetes with a CNPG-style operator based deployment. There are some subtleties to it but it’s not exceeding complicated, and a good project like CNPG goes a long way to shaving off those sharp edges. As other commenters have suggested it’s good to really understand Kubernetes if you want to do it, though.

EBS pricing is here: https://aws.amazon.com/ebs/pricing/

I'd have to check with the team but I'm 80% sure we're on gp3 ($0.08/GB-month).

That said, we have a very generous free tier. With AWS we have an enterprise plan + savings plan + reserved instances. Not all of these affect EBS pricing, but we end up paying a lot less than the average AWS user due to our high-usage.
This looks amazing, I’m looking forward to seeing your version!

back when whiteboards were a thing, most were not testing exact syntax..
Part of the problem is non-technical users that know how to switch are switching to chrome because they hit small issues/niggles that "just work" in chrome. That's been happening slowly over time; mozilla hasn't helped itself by taking, let's say, detours into non-browser related stuff.

It's not just OS vendors, it hasn't helped that more and more companies are just targeting/supporting chrome. They'll ship & test on chrome as tier1, not firefox... not that it wouldn't work, but again, it'll be "should or might work".
Right, in a sense it's OS-native apps that suffer from the focus on browsers.
I like Brave a lot, but their business model is not providing enough revenue to build a full web runtime + browser either since they are a Chrome fork.

This is for Contract-to-Hire though. Which is a little different.

You aren't going to be billing this company anyway. You are essentially setting a fixed rate for a fixed amount of time with the expectation of full-time employment after that time.

So it does make sense to essentially contract yourself at that rate. But he's saying when you do, add in the 3% plus $8/hr to cover the things not being covered by your employer during that time. It'll make the transition a little smoother. You won't feel as if you're shafting yourself.

I'd also add that if I were Contract-to-Hire, I'd also stipulate that once I'm hired, I'm a full employee. My contract period is my probationary period and after I should be treated as a full employee with all the benefits that entitles me to: health care, 401k matching, etc.
Same for Xbox being (initially) seen as a deadweight to Microsoft. Microsoft is not even looking beyond office and enterprise when Nintendo and Sega were the players in the game console industry, but when Sony launched PlayStation (and the associated threat of a Sony-connected home entertainment and productivity system basically preventing Microsoft from selling Windows at home users), Microsoft just launched Xbox to counter PlayStation.

Magnus Carlsen – My statement regarding the last few weeks
I despise VK and Russian government, yet, Apple's gatekeeping for apps installation is despicable.

A lot of people even here on HN always say, 'it is what you signed for, you should have done the research before buying Apple device, you can always buy Android' - but no amount of research could predict a war when buying an iOS device in September 2021, and now the user who wants an app that worked perfectly when he bought the device can't have it.

When will these Apple acolytes come to their senses? When apple will block the app they need, no sooner?

I hope the EU will crush this monopoly sooner than later. It is dangerous to everyone (especially considering that Apple eagerly remove apps at requests of different dictators. Yes, even Putin's government requests were keenly satisfied before 24feb).
> there's almost nothing new pattern to me. Nav, grid, list, section, card, info grouping (title here big, subtitle/description here a bit smaller, tone down, thing's status at some corner or after title).

Keep in mind that your Hetzner instance has locally-attached storage and a real CPU as opposed to networked storage and a slice of a CPU, so I'm not surprised at all that this beats an AWS setup even on the more expensive instances.

Yes, frameworks can be a problem (although including WP in the list is an insult to other, actually decent frameworks), but I would bet good money if they moved their setup to a Hetzner setup it would still fly. Non-optimal ORM calls can be optimized manually without necessarily dropping the framework altogether.

Perhaps in court, standards are different. If Apple says "we believe those transactions to be fraud", maybe a sympathetic and reasonable judge will ask for some proof.
I can't blame it on "cloud", though it's not helping that there are an awful lot of cloud services that claim to be "high performance" and are often mediumish at best. But in general I see a lot of ignorance in the developer community as to how fast things should be able to run, even in terms of reading local files and doing local manipulations with no "cloud" in sight.

Honestly, if I had to pin it on just one thing, I'd blame networking everything. Cloud would fit as a subset of that. Networking slows things down at the best of times, and the latency distribution can be a nightmare at the worst. Few developers think about the cost of using the network, and even fewer can think about it holistically (e.g., to avoid making 50 network transactions spread throughout the system when you could do it all in one transaction if you rearranged things).
