Usain Bolt is another interesting case. Commentators have made a pretty compelling case based on the circumstantial evidence that he was doping, but due to weaknesses in Jamaica's anti-doping program it's likely impossible to prove one way or the other.

Sorry, I think you’re misunderstanding. Android vendors built compatibility layers that allowed 16:9 apps to run on 18:9 and up screens. The apps weren’t built to run on 18:9 screens but the vendors found a way regardless.
It's crazy how many good GUI libraries there are as well, I've played around migrating some heavier applications and the experience was absolutely painless.
My understanding is that a new equilibrium can only be found, in general, when the net new input(s) to a system have stopped changing.

The amount of atmospheric CO2 continues to grow linearly[1] at best. The earth's climate may find a new equilibrium when CO2 stabilizes, or it may not. The resulting equilibrium may be conducive to human life, or it may not. But until that number flattens, we can only expect more change. And, of course, that is only one of the many stressors on the climate.

Nvidia doesn't need to offer full linux support, only the bare minimum to make the lives of those making their job a bit easier.
Also, let's not kid ourselves, Nvidia has a lot to gain in the datacenter/AI business with proper linux support.
Let's also bear in mind that Linus Torvalds said this: "they are the exception, not the rule". If that doesn't speak volumes, I don't know what does.

I remember back before all the political noise Gab had a web extension like this, a comment section controlled by them. It was an interesting paradigm, an awesome idea, I tried it once and the comments weren't my cup of tea, didn't feel like engaging in that sort of environment so I deleted it. But the concept is pretty cool nonetheless.
This is interesting. I tried out SILE as a LaTeX alternative a few months ago and I had many more issues with it (kerning, line spacing) than with LaTeX. Perhaps it has gotten better in that while? (Or perhaps I am just dense and I wasn't doing something right)
Because it works better than the other alternatives and people can’t be arsed otherwise.

Even if you have source, you can't necessarily figure it out. Sure, you can figure out what the program does, but you can't know precisely what the program was intended to do, or how closely the current version matches that eventual goal.

Sure, you might have the specification that the original developer was given, but every developer brings their own opinions and hard-won experience to a project. Just because the specification says "outgoing messages are sent to a queue" and the program links with ZeroMQ, doesn't tell you whether that's a design goal or a temporary stop-gap proof-of-concept. Maybe the program is structured so it can use an email queue for distributed operation. Maybe the program is designed to be linked into a larger system and just push message structs onto an in-memory vector.
Perhaps an even nicer equation:

1^x = ncos(x) + i nsin(x)

using a multi-valued definition of the exponentiation on the left hand side.
You're allowed to make "very strong implications". The other word for that is "opinion". You're in trouble if you say "I've been given secret information that shows Neimann cheated at the Cup", but if all you're saying is "based on these factors, which by implication you yourself could evaluate, I believe he's cheating", you're offering an opinion based on disclosed facts, and that defamation claim won't survive dismissal.

(I'm not a lawyer, I just nerd out on this stuff, happy to be corrected).
> I do wonder how many people who understand Go's limitations (and work around them as you point out above) have truly given Rust a try (takes a few months - can't be done faster)

I have written both languages professionally in various contexts for years. In point of fact, I've been writing Rust since before Rust 1.0 came out, although I didn't get my first Rust job until about 3 years later. They're both excellent languages. I actually didn't learn Go until several years after learning Rust, and at the time I didn't appreciate it like I should have, since I was so excited about Rust. Only after getting professional experience with Rust did I truly begin to appreciate how nice Go is for the things it is good at.

Go is just so much better suited for network-connected services (including but not limited to web backends), and Rust is better suited for batch processing or embedded contexts where no compromise on performance can be made, in my experience. There are lots of reasons for this, but it's off topic from the question, and the answer to the question is that I absolutely do go back to Go. Neither language is a perfect tool for all problems, and I constantly dream about building my own language that learns from the best of both... there is certainly room for improvement on both ends.
The unnerving, unbalancing effect Fischer had in the 1971 Candidate's tournament was absolutely due to his play. He put up immense resistance against lines prepared by teams of Soviet GMs (example here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X8-90cPf61M), which was the sort of thing that broke their nerve. He was not intimidating or manipulating his opponents outside of the board; if there were any outside-chess forces at play, it was the pressure from Soviet higher-ups embarrassed to lose to a lone American. Also, I don't recall that his opponents played worse than they would have been expected to against an opponent so much stronger than them — maybe after their fifth loss in a six game match, they'd become demoralized.

This is nothing like the Carlsen-Niemann case.
If you're going to replace SVG xml, whatever you replace it with is going to need a schema.
I can think of a few decent ways to solve this problem.

Have an open system where anyone can design an augment in AR or even an open VR world, and put it anywhere, and publish it. People could select their own augments by importing it, like RSS. People might make curated sets of augments for other people and publish. Some people might even get paid for the augments and the curation. As long as people can turn them off, on, curate their curated lists a little (maybe one list is almost perfect for one person but needs something extra or something less), share their curated lists, augments and changes freely, and use as many as they like, it would be alright.

A radian is 1turn/2pi.

It is not dimensionless.

A radian, or a turn, has a dimension: angle.

Saying 1radian=1 is just as senseless as saying 1m=1=$1.

It's true that abstract math often drops units because some things (like Taylor series) work nicely in certain units. That doesn't make the unit meaningless.

Street-Fighting Mathematics, thesis/book by Sanjoy Mahajan, shows what amazing things you can die in abstract math if you don't forget units.
Sure. But you think that losing fashion boutiques is going to motivate them? I mean sure, it may supply an infinitessimal increment of motivation. Do you think it's really going to be enough to matter?

Which kernel powers are you specifically talking about having been stripped away, and how are they relevant to serverside workloads? GPUs are the common one that gets brought up, but I'm not familiar with many others. Firecracker doesn't strip anything out of the guest kernel --- it boots a vanilla Linux kernel, which can be as heavy or light as you compile it to be.

Actually the most apt comparison here is if Bob sends over a contract for $1000, but then goes "oh no I'm sorry, I really meant $800"

There are not takebacks here.

Actually, I know there legally could be, as these situations aren't always black and white, however the company, being such a position of power compared to the employee, loses all goodwill in this situation. If I were in this situation, I would already be sending out feelers.
They're absolute gamechangers for US adversaries that makes fortress America vunerable. US military preemenence rests on assumption that US adversaries lack capability to conventially disrupt CONUS homefront. PRC's new science of military strategy specifically calls for prompt global strike program. Think port strikes to destroy major US capital power projection assets anywhere in the world. Plenty of RD reports on onboard terminal guidance as well. Don't need complex killchain/OODA loop for fixed targets. There will be massive strategic implications once US loses ability to operate out of CONUS with impunity i.e. entire US industrial bases is sustained by ~130 refineries that current missile tech has CEP to hit.
I think most libraries completely reset sessions between users. Way too much liability otherwise.
People have viewpoints. They have enough of them that explaining them in detail every time they come up would be tedious.

You and I both could write up plausible explanations of what he might mean by that, as both those topics are already discussed to death here. There's no particular reason to think he's being dogmatic, just pithy.

I'll also note that it would be easy to make the same accusation about your own posts. E.g.: "The contemporary democratic nation state is a facade over a distributed and decentralized oligarchy." https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=32837598

But presumably you see yourself as holding that position for non-dogmatic reasons, so I'd encourage you to do the same for others.
I wish somebody would make a language that looked like ruby/python but all it did was transpile the source file into a rust file with any necessary Rc<>/Arc<Mutex<>> stuff and then run the normal rust compiler.

If you wanted to optimize a file, then just run the "eject" command on a file and then replace the extraneous Rc<>/Arc<Mutex<>> stuff with smart people borrow checker stuff yourself.

I like crystal and nim, but it would be better to have such a language deeply just actually be rust under the hood and use rust libs natively and use crate literally instead of creating a whole new ecosystem.
Go assembly is just a slightly funny version of the target platform's assembly. At that point, you might as well just assemble for the target directly and avoid the quirks of Go's assembler.
I’m familiar. It is fascinating. Same with Sanskrit. I don’t know if we’re all descended from the same people exactly, or if the Indo Europeans were just an extremely successful core group with a culture that all of us adopted as the natives wherever they spread to. But they certainly had a successful culture. Iran should really be an ally with the western democracies. Those people are actually pretty advanced and modern, considering where they are placed in the world.

I think it will, with IJ sponsoring lawsuits, in addition to the the Beverly Hills FBI fiasco. The deal is that many agencies only do civil asset forfeiture with game theory in mind. They will only take $10k , because it would be a Pyrric victory to win in court, since the lawsuit would cost you more than $10k. They also play games where they'll give you back the money if you're angry enough to sue them anyway, then you no longer have a case and you can't continue your suit. Give IJ $20. I think they have a chance of getting it done.
No they are all going to areas with lax regulations.

Why would you want to migrate a firecracker vm? They are supposed to be for small, short lived processes. Or in this case, Docker containers (which are likely to be controlled by some kind of orchestration).

If you want to be able to migrate a running VM, do you still really need it to start super fast? It’s going to be a long lived service (otherwise you wouldn’t migrate it), so a longer spin up time should be acceptable. If that’s the case, then you can use a different VM tech that supports migration (KVM/Xen/etc).
Yesterday I was trying to look up my coinbase balance. I didn't have the app on my phone so I had to log in via mobile web.

It took so long the conversation was over before I had my answer. I had to do 2-factor auth, then another verification, then click a link in my email.

I understand why they do it, because the alternative is a lot of stolen accounts. But there must be a decent middle ground here.
> I had one guy that got obsessed with crypto and was doing crypto trading instead of his work...

I think we are all very obviously not at all talking
about the kind of situation you describe.

I left a company a little over a decade ago where the CEO and CTO (both co-founders) were lying to us about the company's situation for the better part of a year (which was longer than half the company had been employed there). I fortunately haven't had the chance to run into them since then, but I would absolutely give them the cold shoulder if I did. And that's because of what they did. I put in 80-hour weeks (including many weekends)[0] for over a year at that place, and they repaid me with a middling salary and worthless equity (after all common stock got wiped out less than a year later when the company got sold to one of the investors for peanuts and scraps).

Anyway, the one "nice" thing I can say about that CTO is that after they had a layoff (half the company), and I didn't get laid off, I went to the CTO and volunteered, and he let me go with the 4-week layoff severance package, which gave me a much-needed month off while I found another job.

(Speaking of startup equity, I'm just glad I wasn't quite out of college during the original dot-com crash, when colleagues I would meet a few years later ended up underwater on the loans they were encouraged to take out in order to exercise their company stock options. I can totally imagine wide-eyed 22-year-old me falling for a garbage scheme like that.)

And sometimes blaming the person in charge is correct and rational.

How does a yubikey work for people who are in situations where they can’t reliably hang on to a single possession?

This is commonly called Number Portability. I don't think it's mandated by the EU, but every EU country I looked up supported it.

In the Netherlands, for example, you can obtain a new SIM card or port number to another NL carrier. KPN uses the PUK code to verify ownership, which I think is great and has the least amount of hassle if you have written down the PUK code that was printed on the SIM package when you first bought it. The downside is that you cannot change the PUK codes.

Nowadays, devices are configured with a smartphone app. In a few years, the apps will all be unavailable, and there will be no possibility to use such devices.
The next century of computing
Theres a small issue that you overlooked here which is that once it has contributions from several other people, anything AFPL becomes impossible to relicense, how do you get 6 random GitHub users to sign a contract, without robust copyright assignment/management mechanisms ahead of the very first outside contributor, AGPL effectively kills the ability for anyone too pay you for your own work on terms you might want to agree to.

By using aggressive open source licenses like AGPLv3 you have to do more work to keep the door open for yourself to profit later if you so choose, it’s a bad personal economic choice, and while some view it as the ultimate in altruism to prevent this, it’s also an act of denial, everyone who could have used it inside companies or projects that can’t change their license to be compatible are denied the ability to use the code.
Here’s a cheap trick: update the version number of your app regularly even if there’s no real change. People will be convinced the app is still fresh.

I think one of the core issues contributing to fragile, continuously-updated software is a culture of over-using dependencies. Each dependency added is a potential complexity trap. Using a dependency that has few sub-dependencies is less likely to cause problems. Or that has several sub-dependencies that each have no dependencies. It's deep dependency trains that are likely to cause this. Ie, dependencies that depend on multiple others.
Ask HN: What type of math should the next gen of coders be learning in school?
In college admissions, I see evidence that AP Calculus is essentially a lazy proxy for "does the kid have some thinking ability" even when the student is applying for a course that uses calculus very lightly, if at all.

Recent grads I know spent their time wrangling matrices, thinking in hex and traversing graphs. Honestly it all looks very much as if the infamous New Math from the 1960s would have been a better grounding than calculus.

Don't get me wrong, calc is awesome. But maybe middle and high schoolers need stronger linear algebra to be better coders. Thoughts?
> Magnus isn't trying to be judge, jury and executioner by refusing to play Hans.

Yes, he most definitely is and the rest of your comment doesn’t disprove that in any way.

Magnus isn’t trying to be judge, jury and executioner. He has just decided that the guy is irrevocably a cheater and as a sentence he will never play a game against him again.
Hikaru, who ranges from high 2700s to 2800s, said only one of his games is at 100%, which was his best game. Hans having multiple 100% is suspicious.
