Who else has noticed that when an HN post reaches critical mass, people mostly just reply to the first comment and don't see anything beneath? (even if there are other very worthy top-level comments). Anyone have a good idea for how to remedy this? Or do you feel like it's a feature not a bug?
This is pretty wildly inaccurate specifically in Project Farm's case. Most "consumable" parts of tests, like bolts, are swapped out from test to test. From what I've seen he's pretty transparent when that's not the case.

He also explicitly buys all products with his own money (some by way of viewers contributing, of course) and products are sourced from what folks in the comments are asking for.

FedNow might be able to provide another avenue, if and when it launches, even though i'm not a big fan of the gov being more involved, but private sector has a monopoly and are being needlessly moralistic and essentially censoring both political and cultural movements through their control.

Everyone talking about the algorithm being slow instead of wondering why an app needs to do this in the first place.

At the very least, this isn’t hugely useful, and if it was, why can’t it rely on a OS level file search cache to help it?
Java Futures are lobotomized.

What is really nice is to treat Futures as monads (as in Scala, and FP languages like Haskell). Then you can chain them together using calls to flatMap aka bind. Then you can use for-comprehensions (or the equivalent):

for {
a <- taskA
b <- taskB
c <- taskC
} yield a + b + c

There are a ton of other fancy tricks found in Haskell or libraries such as Cats.
Cool. This was at AWS.

It’s a matter of public record that France and Germany were aligning towards Russia and away from the US geopolitically. They referred to it as “the troika”.

>If Google had been willing to sacrifice some of their profits for the past 12 years

Sad thing is they did not even have to do that. all they had to do was put some lobbying effort in empowering municipalities to do their own broadband and the rest would take care of itself. ISP monopolies have been kneecapping municipal broadband effort right and left and just some push from otherside would have cleared up the way for some competition. But they did not, as you said, its classic short term thinking and 'not my problem' syndrome. What really troubles me is that Google & FB have sucked up almost all of ad market but none of that revenue is trickling back into society except for these 'promotion packet' side hustles.
I think another factor is the rise of china, which ramped up massively in that time, hid inflation.

We thought the near 0% rates had no consequences except for housing and a few other non china influenced products. It turns out the inflation was there but china's ramp up hid it. In fact, in hindsight we saw inflation everywhere except in china's manufacturing (and perhaps an oil sands boom helped too). But china manufactured so much of what we consume we didn't notice the consequences.
I think you’re confusing mission / vision (long term) with work / goals (short term in nature).

Buy into the mission / vision of the organization/ what you do and the void will be filled and work becomes part of it.
I have a 386SX that has a single 72-pin SIMM socket. It xseems to be a 1991 design by the stickers on components.

Even more weirdly, the machine could be equipped with a 286 daughterboard instead of the 386SX. I wonder if it just discarded half of each memory access to fill the 16-bit bus.
The typical standard for a system that purports to offer cryptographically secure communication to end-users is that it does it by default rather than 'only does it if the user does these specific things otherwise it doesn't'. This isn't some controversial thing or topic of particularly serious debate.
They are generally pretty normal seeming or boring which makes them great spies. They don't stand out. I am not giving names out.
I'm really not. Human entertainment has been valuable for as long as there have been humans. We bond as a society over shared oral traditions. Music, art, dance, performance... We value it deeply.

To try and wave it away as frivolous or somehow unimportant denies something deeply fundamental in what we are as a species.

Bitcoin does little to nothing. It's not a threat to any power structures. It's just not. At best it's a way to move some value around that's too small scale for governments to care about.

I have no problem with the ideas of distributed ledgers. Hell I'm about as anti capitalist as any leftist, I just think Bitcoin is a stupid way to achieve the goals it has.

> if I were you I would be more careful with how overtly you defend the propaganda outlets of the status quo.

Is this a threat? I can't even understand what you are implying. That the proles will tear me apart for saying "I think Netflix is ok"?
I wonder if the file scanning is hitting a variant of the N+1 problem, and if there's even a way to avoid that using the file system APIs. There's an old paper titled "New Need Not Be Slow"[1] that goes into the right and wrong ways to scan a filesystem for lots of files.

Unless the interest is making money for shareholders then corporations are not moral. The only non-regulatory way to force a company to do the desired thing is through the cost/benefit tradeoffs which are communicated through money. Like Milton Friedman drilled.
>As a thought exercise, imagine going a week with no Internet, no mobile phone, and a lot of chaos on the streets: stores and gas stations mostly closed, possibly looting, etc.

After superstorm Sandy here in New York I was left without power, heat, internet, gasoline or hot water for 2 weeks. Books, a crank radio, several thick blankets, an LED lantern and many batteries proved critical to making it through.
There is no evidence that the Russian invasion is more barbaric than the US invasion of Iraq.

In fact they seem to show (to a certain extent) some restraint with regard to civilian infrastructure, while America bombed everything from the sky for 1 month before invading.

In terms of intentional atrocities every army has its bad apples, and I'm sure there is a Russian equivalent of Abu Graib. But there is no evidence there is a deliberate policy by the Russian military to commit war crimes.

The French sent an elite unit of the scientific police to investigate Bucha. They came back months ago with not a single press conference, audition, report. Nothing, nada. Why? Why aren't they telling the world about the alleged Russian war crimes they witnessed there?

These powers can't (yet, maybe) fight WW3.

If they become a credible force in the future, I fully expect them to be accepted in the security council.

North Korea isn't even worth mentioning, their weapons are a joke except as leverage enough to get free UN food from time to time.

If you have an Nvidia graphics card that supports game streaming, install Moonlight on the steam link and look up how to stream the entire desktop using Moonlight.

It works perfectly for non Steam games and usually works better for Steam games as well.

I would recommend a wireless keyboard and mouse to launch the games or if you just want to use a controller to launch your games the Playnight launcher.

IF everything is in the cache, there is no dependency on I/O, and cycles aren't wasted with context switching between usermode->kernel.

Unless your program is purely computational it's going to burn cycles on system calls and I/O.
» The September 2022 United Kingdom mini-budget was a set of economic policies announced by the Chancellor of the Exchequer Kwasi Kwarteng on 23 September 2022. Although not an official budget statement, it was widely referred to by the media as a "mini-budget". Among the policies announced by Kwarteng were: bringing forward the planned cut in the basic rate of income tax from 20% to 19%; the abolition of the 45% higher rate of income tax in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; the reversal of the April 2022 increase in National Insurance; and the abolition of the proposed Health and Social Care Levy.

» The budget, which was unveiled against the backdrop of a cost of living crisis, was immediately followed by a sharp fall in the value of pound sterling against the United States dollar as world markets reacted negatively to the increased borrowing that would be needed. By the next day of trading, the pound had hit an all time low against the US dollar. The statement drew widespread criticism from economists, some of whom feared its reliance on increased government borrowing to pay for the largest tax cuts in 50 years could lead to a situation like the 1976 sterling crisis when the UK was forced to ask the International Money Fund (IMF) for a financial bailout. The IMF took the unusual step of issuing an openly critical response to the budget, saying it would "likely increase inequality".[4] It urged the UK government to "re-evaluate" the proposed tax cuts.[5] The HM Treasury announced plans to outline how the proposals would be costed in November, alongside an independent forecast from the Office for Budget Responsibility.

I don't get it. Why can't the government walk back these changes? Does the prime minister think they will get ousted if they reverse this nonsense?
>If you want your software to be fast, you need to be thinking about speed in the design from the very beginning. Very hard, perhaps impossible, to make something not designed for speed from the beginning be as fast as something that was.

This is absolutely true in low latency finance.
I'd be more sympathetic to this argument, by a lot, if I wasn't constantly encountering bugs in systems where there wasn't (or shouldn't have been) any guesswork needed.

To (substantially) rephrase the point, you're saying "there's this additional source of bugs" without an argument that it's a significant enough source that it will stand out against the background of all the other sources of bugs.

There's also a strange flip side where abnormally competent people are doing the work, so I might even believe the bug-rate is likely lower than average.
It doesn't matter what a PM at Google tells you
Surprising number of comments defending this guy, which is a bit disappointing. No one has mentioned that the main reason to fire him is that he was stupid enough to say this on someone’s video.
Just me or is something new like this popping up every day now?
Is there some newer music on there or is the newest really 2 years old?
Its based on free market and freedom principals, both of which are under a very subversive attack by powerful forces for a while now but has been intensifying lately for many reasons, but...
The electricity is either for sale in a market or it is not a free market and you are in some communist or fascist style rule of law.
What we have now is turning into some kind of worst of all worlds.
A price cap on btc by law or manipulation is despotic.
Value judgements on what you use electricity for is despotic.
And using propaganda to destroy competition in currency markets is despotic.
Competition makes us all better and nothing anyone can say on a washed up startups website can change that.

Yeah no duh we don’t have any power, and even if I convinced 100,000 people to walk everywhere and never drive, we would only lower gas prices by a fraction of a cent which would result in other people driving more.
“Amateur porn” is regulated, by the same laws in fact. People hosting such content for commercial gain are expected to obtain sufficient documentation of the performers identity, age, and consent, so as to not be liable under such laws.

As with most laws, the level to which they are enforced correctly and complied with varies.
The collateral murder video was a national scandal, people were appalled and it was fairly unique among a trove of videos and documents. Ukraine is unearthing mass graves on a daily basis full of mutilated civilians. The laundry list of confirmed war crimes including video is overwhelming. There’s loads of evidence of people all the way up the Russian chain of command encouraging atrocities. Moreover the conflict is less than a year old. For fuck’s sake the Russians intentionally bombarded a maternity hospital.

Also, these are not mutually exclusive.
I am simply referring naming a method into(). Into… what? It’s like one of those 2010 frameworks that used .use(). The name communicates very little.

It sounds like it should be called .intoType() or .fixType() (it seems to use the compiler to work out the specific type) but again I don’t care about the answer I’m merely commenting that it’s not evident from reading the code as someone that knows a few languages.
During my time running an early Bitcoin casino, I more or less developed a template for each of the issues mentioned in this post's final paragraph (with the exception of age verification for uploaded adult content, which strikes me as nearly impossible these days). It was a ton of work, it was certainly a lot more expensive than running a normal service, and it had operational risk - not the least of which waa that a misstep in KYC could have put me in serious legal trouble. Also, even in 2011, running something like that caused me to become the target of a ddos attack large enough to temporarily clog a major backbone and get kicked off what was supposed to be a bunker/military grade host. That being said, I was doing it literally alone, with only the most indolent and shady of lawyers as erstwhile partners. It can be done. It's definitely an uphill battle at every step, but operating only in crypto and setting up intelligently designed verification systems, and most importantly, spreading your server operations across as many different jurisdictions as possible in a federated way, you could probably still boot it for gambling. This also assumes you're smart and go to great lengths to block jurisdictions where it's illegal. For porn, I'm less sure.
the fact is, men are systematically oppressed since 20 years ago, this is something that is not discussed in the article.
In the current situation, how do you even arrange a free election even if you wanted to?
Maybe I'm deviating from the general consensus here, but to me the social-network-isms in GitHub are an anti-pattern in business and undesired in such a highly useful utility service.
> Is it some subset of GPU commands that's required for desktop, compared to AAA game?

Yes. Compute shaders and geometry shaders are big features. Vulkan, DX12 and Metal also brought a jump in performance at the API level by allowing developers to batch commands sent to the GPU.

Desktop environments can and do leverage those newer APIs to get marginally better battery life. Asahi will miss out on those benefits, but the performance will be insanely better than “no GPU at all”.
I'll go with that.
There are multiple onuses, determining whether a status quo should change is only one of them. But where status quo is also an expression of power, there can also be an onus to justify its existence. If that scenario arises, generally those demanding change have already met the criteria (at least those available to them). At which point the status quo thing is in the same philosophical position of making a claim and has the logical burden of proof that the status quo itself is justified.

This reasoning is sometimes used hastily in radical-left politics, eg in some forms of anarchism where any power relationship is subject to justifying its existence. But, and I’m saying this no longer an anarchist, you don’t need to be a radical or revolutionary to see it play out.

This is essentially exactly how many cannabis legalization efforts have worked. After decades of dedicated effort to establish plurality support for questioning the status quo of prohibition, the question of whether prohibition is justified becomes scrutinized at a policy level and it the justification isn’t there. The only remaining barriers are weak pluralities and successful counter-marketing. If either of those are absent, the unjustified status quo has been changed.

Which is all to say, the onus isn’t on anyone to unjustify something that’s wrong, the onus is to motivate people to know and care that it’s wrong, and to agree that it matters. From there, the onus is the same as GP said: you’re making the claim, you defend it. Otherwise the assumption is just, like, your opinion man.
There are entire departments devoted to future problem solving. As a near monopoly multinational, are you more likely to be unseated by a competitor that approves of porn when you don't or by a competitor that prohibits porn when you allow it?
A good mentor told me once not to let 'perfect' be the enemy of 'good'. At the time I thought it was clever but it didn't really hit home until year 10 or 15. I did a lot of things that made no difference to the user, but to me was finesse.
I'm not sure historical natural gas prices support this idea of "free". Would need to crunch the numbers but at a glance the price came down about 50% in the 2010s from the aughts. It's had a few big, temporary dips most recently during the start of the pandemic in 2020.

It certainly wasn't "free" in Feb 2021. We have about a 3% hike on our bills now to pay down the record profits gas producers received.

My bill last cycle was 20% higher than last year with near identical usage. UK has already seen incredible energy cost increases. European winter is going to drive energy prices even higher.

Yeah, "we" will be fine because computers. But lower income families are getting hit hard with this and inflation.

Even still there is the Applebee's effect; people with money are paying more attention to those commercials because a lunch for two is pushing past 50$ dollars these days! That's gonna dry up investment even more. In the UK Liz Truss comes in and immediately commits political suicide with these tax cuts. Putting aside critiques aimed at trickle down economics, the timing is TERRIBLE. Startups are laying off because investment is drying up; tax cuts on high earners are going into savings and low-risk market investments.

All this combined is, IMHO, going to lead to a massive global recession.
It's not big news anymore but Kiwi Farms is back online

> On September 6, 2022, The Daily Dot confirmed that VanwaTech was providing content delivery network services to the site, hence bringing it back online.[60][61] Other websites running on VanwaTech infrastructure experienced availability problems as a result, including The Daily Stormer and 8chan.[62]

Also keep in mind that Kiwi Farms was only blocked because of the massive backlash Cloudflare received. If your site only gets a few hundred visitors a month, you're not going to get this backlash.

(Not to mention, porn is considered much more acceptable than doxxing and targeted threats, relatively speaking)
Unpopular take: Blame it all on video games.
The "sham" is in the process.

If you want to hold a proper referendum, there's broadly-agreed ways to do this.

What appears to be happening in these regions is anything but a proper referendum.

The quote is talking about micro optimization, but people think they should apply it st design time. That is wrong, the right data structures up front make mmicro optimizations mostly unnecessary (assuming a modern optimizing compiler) while if you get that wrong nothing will fix performance but a major rewrite

I've actually seen that argument made against breastfeeding in public. Like someone actually said "You can't do that here! There are children present!" without any clue of how absolutely dumb that was.

It seems like the ones who are most concerned about nudity are the ones we should be the most concerned about. I don't know whats going on in their heads, but it must be pretty sick stuff from the way they overreact. I just don't feel like it should be our burden to keep their demons at bay.

Well yes, string isn’t a good name for people new to programming, but that’s a separate topic since most programming languages use the term. Python did similar with Arrays -> Lists and Hashmaps -> Dicts. into() isn’t a verb either.
Would appreciate recommendation on non-WiFi sensor.
Latency, power consumption, and safety have the problem that if they aren't a first order requirement they're expensive/impossible to bolt on after.
Counterintuitively, software performance as a whole is not a function of hardware, it's a function of human tolerance. Apps are as slow as we humans are willing to tolerate.

As hardware gets better, we're finding ways to use it less efficiently.
So if you want apps to become faster, you shouldn't be building better hardware. You should be changing human tolerance thresholds.

Which is almost impossible to pull off. Apple did this when they released the iPhone. Remember mobile apps before iOS? Mobile browsers before Safari?
People who pay a monthly subscription but barely use the service? I would think that would be the best demographic to target, at least from Google's perspective.

Surprisingly good. Not Good good but I expected a lot worse.

I think there's great potential for that kind of music in video games, if they can procedurally generate it on the fly based on the current game state (think e.g. roguelikes).
There's an internal social network?

Like, what do people post on it?
As far as barely having service goes, Ting is half the price. $10/month + $5/GB
The numbers include all that. Read the BLS methodology and you'll find it clearly explained. The Google CEO I listed is the same, as you can check in SEC filings.

Please don't make claims without checking if it's true. It wastes time.

Again, do you find it reasonable to compare a tiny fraction of highest paid CEO salaries to all worker salaries as a valid comparison?
