I experienced this myself when I was a kid. I wanted to do mental arithmetic like my dad but I couldn't do multiplications for large numbers even after my dad explained how he did it. Turns out I had to memorize the time tables first, otherwise I would run out of swap space.

If you want to experience this yourself but you already know the time tables, you could try to memorize log tables and then you can do those fancy arithmetic tricks that old school engineers used to do with slide rulers.
I've never seen them assigned a dollar value (actually, in one case: SpaceX, which also had a 5 year vesting schedule instead of a standard 4 year). That would defeat the purpose of RSUs.
> GPL, AGPL, BSL... they all solve different problems. There's no right answer.

While there are legitimate arguments in favor of different open source licenses, the BSL is a proprietary license and is always the wrong answer. I'd agree with this if it used a real open source license like Apache or MIT as its third example instead.
Complexity and Software Engineering
The software industry seems to fetishize complexity. It's extremely harmful, yet often appealing, and I don't know how we can avoid it.
> I find it impressive that people use CAT to justify a fatalistic attitude.

I guess looking at that map of the world showing responses ranging from "Insufficient" to "Critically Insufficient" fills you with a warm fuzzy sense of optimism for the future.

When you say "there are plants already running" - you must mean the demonstration projects that produce CO2 for soft drinks (that will go back into the atmosphere)[0]

> There are currently 18 direct air capture plants operating worldwide, capturing almost 0.01 Mt CO2/year...In the Net Zero Emissions by 2050 Scenario, direct air capture is scaled up to capture almost 60 Mt CO2/year by 2030.

So great, we only need to increase by a factor of 6000 in 7 years.

> Plans for a total of eleven DAC facilities are now in advanced development. If all of these planned projects were to go ahead, DAC deployment would reach around 5.5 Mt CO2 by 2030; this is more than 700 times today’s capture rate, but less than 10% of the level of deployment needed to get on track with the Net Zero Scenario.

^This is your optimistic scenario: IFF every single one of these planned facilities are actually built, we'll have 10% of requirements.

The bigger question is will Starlink be able to retain the customers that they have now as more FTTH is deployed deeper into rural communities. My own company's FTTH service is: faster (1Gbps), better (lower latency, no congestion issues) and cheaper (costs from CAD$30-85 per month less than Starlink). Meanwhile, the incumbent here has just launched 8Gbps service. Starlink is better than what came before, but it's not better than fibre at present.
I was brought up with this distinction - my family always put more pressure on understanding than remebering but now after mamy years I start to suspect that there is really no difference between those two - understanding is probably just remembering proper models that are useful to solve problems that You want know how to solve.
Yeah, I’ve lived through many a transition from one CI server to the next, so nowadays I just have CI call a script. You want to really minimize the amount you depend on a particular CI server’s features, to make switching very easy. Even if you never have to switch, it will be easier to maintain.
What isn't free about it?

As a corporation, I might not want to use it in conjunction with my code, but that's the point. You are free to do what you want, but you in turn must share your code.

Or you engage with the owner to make a financial arrangement for a separate license.
I enjoyed his writing style, I'd like my own paper journals to read like this!

It's a counter-intuitive fact that (up to a point) supersonic aircraft become more fuel efficient when they go faster. If it wasn't for the challenge of taking off, the ideal would be around Mach 3.2 (speed of the SR-71) -- the SR-71 solves that problem by taking off with a minimal fuel load and refueling in air, and answer which won't work for a civilian airliner.

Back in the 1970s there were ideas about building Concorde class airliners (Mach 2) and a class of faster airliners such as

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boeing_2707

In particular there was the belief that fast SSTs would undercut 747-class airliners in capital cost because the plane could make many more flights per unit time. This failed for the Concorde because it wasn't fast enough: if it tried to make 2 round trips a day it would have to arrive and depart when airports were closed at night.

Based on this old analysis, planes like Boom that operate at low Mach are particularly doomed, even if the engineering is easier than high-speed SSTs which could possibly be competitive. The one thing that could save Boom is customers that don't care what it costs.

Cliffnotes:

* Zen4 AVX512 is mostly double-pumped: a 256-bit native hardware that processes two halves of the 512-bit register.

* No throttling observed

* 512-bit shuffle pipeline (!!). A powerful exception to the "double-pumping" found in most other AVX512 instructions.

* AMD seemingly handles the AVX512 mask registers better than Intel.

* Gather/Scatter slow on AMD's Zen4 implementation.

* Intel's 512-bit native load/store unit has clear advantages over AMD's 256-bit load-store unit when reading/writing to L1 cache and beyond.
Wow, I just looked at the issues in the repo, and the position of the developers is indeed that there will be no signing - so you can verify the recipient, but never the sender.

So if I have your public key, I can just replace all your backups for example - and age cannot help you detect that. (for the particular use-case of encrypt-to-self, one could use the authenticated symmetric encryption, rather than public key - and assume the pass phrase is kept secret). But then your backup client can both "read and write" your backups - rather than just encrypt (to your public key) and sign (with backup instance private key).

So you get.. 30% of the benefits of public key encryption, for 90% of the complexity?
Amazon should just own this mistake. They are already finding it incredibly hard to recruit and attract top talent. Perhaps the situation is slightly improved with the recent cooldown in the economy. I wonder how much this negative PR costs their recruiting efforts when compared to the cost of paying up the erroneous bonuses.
Once upon a time somebody made a Lego mindstorms robot that walked up to objects and then drummed on them. It was very cute. Can’t find the video now though.

Zen 4 (Raphael) desktop CPUs will have it. Right now, Zen 3 (Chagall) and Zen 4 Threadripper (Storm Peak) don't currently have plans for integrating it, but that may be subject to change. I cannot provide proof, but I sure as hell am never buying Zen 4 or later AMD Desktop CPUs ever again for a system that will be connected to the internet.
Right, just as with XOAUTH2, the "password" sent to the server is actually the (encoded) OAuth token.
Senior level positions in Europe often come with a 6 month notice period, so it's not even really possible to job hob that often. There is a strong preference for stability and continuity of leadership.
In your compensation letter it may say a $ value but it’s just a formulaic presentation based on the fixed # of RSUs.

You’re not compensated by “You’re getting $20,000 in however many RSUs that can buy at the time”. It’s “you’re getting 100 RSUs” and then whenever you get them your compensation letter states their current $ value.
It's funny how Trump and Brexit have become these catch-all bogeymen that every societal ill is reflexively attributed to.
Our Rust Rewrite
I am not sure if that is the case.

If something is viewable to the public, I can record all day and film everyone's number plates as I am not a business and don't need permission so I am not a data controller. If the people I am recording do not like that, they can feel free to use private roads only (which are not viewable from a public place) or not have a vehicle and problem solved. The onus is on them.

As you say though, there are many specific's such as filming from public to within a private dwelling and causing distress. etc
especially true on Segment. We're using Posthog so we have an escape hatch.
Nothing you say here has any relation to eSIMs.

1. This problem can exist with real SIMs too. Back many years ago Verizon used to lock your SIM to a specific IMEI and you had to call them to change it (they might have even charged a fee for changing it, I don't remember for sure?)

2. Nothing prevents a phone company from offering an anonymized eSIM.

Anonymous phone numbers are drying up, but not because of eSIMs.
As a Rust programmer it doesn't look like Rust influence to me. Rust would have "introducer keywords" here so that we know what we're doing e.g. fn is a function, let is a variable declaration, const is a constant definition ...

Ask HN: How will you host a Deep learning model Serverless?
I called it "Selfish OSS", how FAANG uses open source communities... I was an open source advocate there for a while, but became disillusioned with it pretty quickly. Some of the engineers care about contributing to the communities, sure, but the companies absolutely do not give a shit about that. It's all about enforcing dominance / crushing competition, and making recruiting easier. What the users want is only supported if it's also what the company wants. If your feature request isn't also desirable to the company, it's not happening, even if you submit the code. I'm now more likely to advocate for closed-source.
The “old” people who did well with stock are done. Maybe you can get them to consult for a bit.
> It's like people who oppose cash payments out of the convenience of card/app payments

Well, yeah, cards are radically more convenient. And this eSIM also looks like it solves real problems. People want to solve real problems. Until "my eSIM provider won't let me register for email" (or something? I'm guessing that that's what you're saying is a problem) or "I have no physical SIM to swap into another device, and for some reason I care about that" are bigger problems no one is going to optimize for that.
Im really curious about the render cost. We’re a 5 person startup and spend around $1,300/month on Heroku. Is the cost savings really that significant? Perhaps our SaaS apps are drastically different?

Employees are finally starting to give employers the level of commitment they've received for decades, which is approximately none. We're all better off for it, in my opinion.

Crash dumps can contain highly sensitive info. I have blocked Crashlytics[0] and Sentry with my pi-hole so nothing gets sent. I'm starting to believe these tools are abused and not even used to improve services. They're basically a MITM so people can violate other's privacy.

I believe you are discounting the fact that a shower is not always available at the place you are going. Take for example, you need to go to a job interview. I skip the shower at home, bike to the job interview, sweat profusely during the ride, and now I shower where exactly?

What about needing to go multiple places during the day? Should I now shower 4 times because I have 4 stops that require me to interface with people and appear clean?

Biking in Florida (substitute most of the southern US) for 7-8 months of the year is simply not possible unless it is acceptable to be a sweaty mess at each destination.

> People have various answers for open source business models. E.g. "consulting" or the vague “support”. I always wonder if such people ever tried selling consulting? Or maybe “support”. People don’t buy these things. Especially in a downturn economy.

I'm conflicted with this statement. In 2008 I was consulting and I had a longer, than usual, backlog of work at the time. I would drive to my clients and remember the dichotomy of what was coming from the radio and my situation. It seems as though some organizations view consulting as a cheaper way to get things done in tighter financial times - I'm curious how the next few years play out, but I would gather that open source solutions, and the consulting around them, goes up as organizations look to cut op and capex.

Yes, no argument there.

All I'd say is this: "midrange" is an IBM sales concept, and I don't think it was ever really used much outside IBM.

"Minicomputer" is a generally-accepted industry term, or at least, it was once. Minicomputers were not specific to IBM, just as mainframes weren't either.

In short: It prohibits you from not sharing your code based on whether or not the ethernet cable is or is not plugged in to your machine.

You may want to actually read the privacy policy, particularly point 4: "We do not store or share any personal information."

Regarding Audacity becoming a paid product or closed source, look at the rest of Muse Group: Musescore (the notation program) is free and open source, musescoreCOM (the website) makes money. If Musescore didn't exist or was hard to access (ie paid), musescoreCOM would have way less content and thus would make way less money.

Now look back at Audacity: There's Audacity (the program) and then there's audioCOM (the website). Audacity, being the thing which has a dedicated upload button to it, is definitely the main source of content for this website.

Now, why would Muse make Audacity paid and completely cripple audioCOM with it? And what money would they make from selling it? Wouldn't people just be able to download Audacity 3.2 from literally anywhere because it's GPL'd anyway?
And I think that's the most important part of the argument here. By using radians in this case, you do extra calculation steps only to reduce the accuracy. That seems like a poor investment of the processor's time.
+1. The logic in any CI server should be “call the build script”. This make it so much easier to debug failures, and easy to switch to another CI setup when the current director of IT quits and a new one comes in and forces everyone to use his/her favorite CI server.
In my example you would not actually write it out but instead have something like this.

[sin(x) for x in sample]

My point is that the trig functions are abstract and useful in multiple domains and in most of these domains turns does not make sense. Turns only makes sense in geometry and maybe some physics but most of the time in these cases you might be better off working with other units, like say quaternions.

The fact is in the vast majority of literature trig functions take rads as arguments, it's the sane default for that reason alone.
Yeah, nice principles, unfortunately a bogus threat is enough to make CF compromise them.
I think two things can be true:

1. Phones are an important attack vector to consider

2. We should be using strong 2FA ala FIDO2

Given that phones can act as FIDO2, I think that only strengthens (1).

Even if a phone isn't used for 2FA, it still is likely to have access to company resources - Slack, Email, non 2fa text messages, etc.

> if one day in the future, I can get a cellular enabled Apple Watch that is standalone and not dependent on having an iPhone

Not sure what you mean here, but right now Apple Watch cellular models can be set up to be independent of the iPhone that set them up (meaning a different number & alerts), although you are still reliant on having that phone to configure them.
A bait and switch is an intentful swindle.

I don't believe this is the case for most OSS. Many of these companies (e.g. Sun) had the greatest intentions, however at some point the purpose of a company is to make money.

Some (like Automattic) are lucky enough to do this through hosting and/or a marketplace, but for most it will be some form of open/closed model or lock-in.

Whenever I see a company whose product is OSS take on investor money, to me that is a red flag for the longevity of that OSS software.

The problem is that C++ is full of so called "zero-cost-abstractions" that are only zero cost if you ignore:

Stuffing everything into the Standard Library using lots of template magic does has its upside, but debug performance is one of the big downsides.

Another one are really clunky interfaces, like std::variant. This should really have been a language feature, not a library features.
I switched from a remote job to an in person job as a machine learning engineer. I have a moderate preference for working in person with other people. I don't love having to commute, but at this point in my life it is worth the tradeoffs.

To me, the worst of all worlds is a job where I have to commute but less than half of my coworkers are work from the same office as me. At that point I have all the downsides of commuting, and very little of the upsides of getting to work in person with my teammates.

Then that is a misunderstanding by the employee about how their compensation works. It’s little different than owning stock. I could say “I own $5000 in Amazon stock” but I still know it actually means I own $X shares while the dollar value is variable.

RSUs are always granted as a number of shares. It's kind of the point of them, so the employee benefits from stock appreciation since their hire date.

However, in offer paperwork, it will sometimes be stated as a dollar value. This is for two reasons: the first is that RSUs need to be approved by the board at a meeting, which can happen some time after the hire date, at which time the dollar value is converted into shares.

But the main reason is that it makes it easier for the candidate to understand the value of the RSUs, and lets the company then talk about the total compensation and try to treat RSUs like cash in that discussion.

> they aren't (again, AFAIK) doing anything about it

Person slightly doing things to LLVM checking in -- the three points you list are compelling, because it's always going to be difficult to describe one program (source) in terms of a vastly different (optimised) program. Do you think there's mileage in showing the developer a partially optimised program [0] instead of trying to perfectly describe the source? It'd be easier to describe in debug-info, and possibly easier for developers to identify unexpected changes to the code they wrote.
