> If apple doesn't go to them, I think the only other option is Samsung?

Shorter-term that's true.

Apple is well known at times to think longer term on logistics, strategy. If push comes to shove, there are two additional options for Apple.

1) Political. Taiwan not being China depends on the support of the US. Apple is a economic security prize for the US, a strategic asset. Apple can get powerful politicians in the US to lean on Taiwan, which can dictate TSMC's behavior to an extent. This would prompt increased compromise from TSMC (3-4% hike, not 6%).

2) Apple starts investing into fabs and builds a TSMC competitor from the ground up, perhaps in alignment with ASML (Europe very much wants an improved semiconductor context) and a few US partners (build the fabs in the US and Europe for national security purposes). Apple is one of the few companies where you have to take this potential seriously, they can safely bankroll it entirely by themselves if necessary.

Can I find a founding software engineer here on Hacker News?
We are looking to bring on board a founding partner who can drive development for our product - HuTouch. With HuTouch we would like to bridge the gap between different OS on different devices thus giving device manufacturers a solution to compete with Apple.
We are looking for a 4 to 5yrs full stack software engineer with the below skills:
1. Front end platform skills on different OS, like Android, Windows desktop, iOS
2. Backend development skills to bind front end across all OS
3. Cloud expertise to introduce device management solutions

Do you think we can find such resources here?
There's a bit of a catch 22 problem with these other language runtimes in that because they haven't been battle-tested in security-hostile environments, it's harder to choose them for security-critical use cases. But that in turn means they'll never be battle-tested.

The original JVM was intended to provide secure sandboxing for "applets" but that use case failed in the market, and instead JVM became focused on use cases where isolation isn't important. Years later as security research became stronger, all sorts of holes were found in the JVM's sandbox. Presumably those holes were fixed, but if we take JVM and use it in a security-critical environment again, probably a bunch of new holes get found pretty quick?

(I don't know anything about Graal specifically, I guess it's an alternative JVM? But how much security research has it had?)

Whereas V8 has had constant security research and real attacks over the course of about 15 years. It's certainly not bullet-proof either but we have a pretty good idea of just how much of a risk it is.

Again, catch 22, there's seemingly no path forward for these VMs to prove themselves. I don't know what to do about that, but that's where we find ourselves.
The article doesn't mention it, but according to https://www.calpeculiarities.com/2022/09/27/sb-1162-approved..., this will go in effect on January 1, 2023.
The SQL example is a great one. I worked on a project where we used MySQL but then used SQLite for unit tests and integration tests. We technically wanted to be able to swap out the RDBMS to something like Postgres but in practice it was never going to happen. Over time it started getting complicated as some stuff we used in MySQL wasn't supported in SQLite. Eventually I just ditched SQLite and changed our testing to start a real MySQL server and destroy it after testing is complete.

People with adjustable rates haven't been adjusted yet. People that locked in rates at the lows are just fine. Only some small percent of people with mortgages would be affected right now, and optimistic people that think they can pay the rates have a few months before they realize their budget didn't fit. The cash buyers have slowed down. Just not a flood of foreclosures yet.
Wow, I did not know that!

I'm an experienced Vue/Nuxt developer. After trying out Typescript and Svelte, I think I want to go all in on ClojureScript.

Currently learning through an open source book right now (https://www.learn-clojurescript.com/). I was planning on paying for it after I read the book to see if it was worth it, but I paid for it halfway through.
How does that matter in digital transmissions? In analog, with low SNR results, you'd get fuzzy images and other similar issues. In digital broadcasts, you either receive the data stream or not. If you do, you get a signal. If not, you get nothing. I'm not an expert in TV broadcast engineering, but I'm not aware of TCP/IP "did you get that? no? here it is again" type of system as that doesn't work for realtime/live very well.
I think you said it yourself. If the gross revenue is just $84k per employee, they've probably got too many people on payroll to be profitable.

I don't think you should ever buy home all-cash. That would be financially stupid move. Even at 6% rates, you can get far better return on your capital on long term basis (>15 yrs). Additionally, you can always refinance later whenever rates goes down. So, paying all-cash for a house is losing a lot of ROI on your capital and is plain stupid.
I'm not surprised, I've never used a system76 laptop, but they always looked like chunky "portable workstations" rather than mobile computing devices. After dealing with the horrible battery life, weight, and fan noise of a Thinkpad with a discrete GPU and fast CPU, I decided that I would ignore that segment of the market in favor of the small and light category.
Until you reach scale, and then you’ll typically end up migrating off of those services onto EC2 where a $10k/yr machine can process many orders of magnitude more requests for the same price.

Lambda, etc, just doesn’t scale well financially if you’re doing millions of requests per day.
I enjoyed it, but I don't want to replay it because it's too linear.

The original paper RPG that the game was loosely based on, was a 100% imagination sandbox. It's unfortunate that everything has to turn into a linear movie instead of an exploration.
And yet the (defectively) giant trackpads don't support the Apple Pencil, which would have been great.

Moving them to the shelters and telling them to stay off the street. If there’s no room in the shelter, providing them housing outside the city. If you have a shelter/provided housing it’s a crime to sleep on the streets.

Alternatively start up workhouses and sanitariums again. Government work in exchange for a safe, clean place to sleep and food for the day. Mental sanitariums for those people that are too far gone. That should provide enough of a disincentive over time to camp on the streets.
I'm not sure why you are being downvoted, because you are technically correct - a lot of Firefox developers use VS Code, which is based on Chrome and it is part of the toolchain.

ELI5: are you really sure that when you work on Firefox source code from VS Code, that what ends up in the saved file and what gets committed to Git is what you actually see on screen?
Yup, which are great for noticing you deleted a file accidentally, before you went to lunch. But for anything more than very simple, recent restoration, versioning is not a backup. It (can/does) mangle file names, metadata, folder structure and can be a nightmare to perform larger restores with. Versions are a convenience.
Serious question: which law protects salary information? And if this law exists, does it apply to employers only or does it extend beyond that?
Sure, but there's always room to advance the state of the art. And in the article, they mention using the adversarial AI approach, which I would say is firmly in the world of AI, and not just statistical analysis.
"The analyses revealed that the stone contains numerous ringwoodite inclusions -- which exhibit a high water content. Furthermore, the research group was able to determine the chemical composition of the stone. It was almost exactly the same as that of virtually every fragment of mantle rock found in basalts anywhere in the world. This showed that the diamond definitely came from a normal piece of the Earth's mantle. "In this study we have demonstrated that the transition zone is not a dry sponge, but holds considerable quantities of water," Brenker says, adding: "This also brings us one step closer to Jules Verne's idea of an ocean inside the Earth." The difference is that there is no ocean down there, but hydrous rock which, according to Brenker, would neither feel wet nor drip water."

> The lawsuit alleges that the city violates state and federal laws, its own policies and homeless individuals’ rights by “punishing residents who have nowhere to go,”

They have shelter beds available. People need to stop repeating falsehoods from activists and well-meaning people who keep saying this.

Some homeless people prefer not to use them for a variety of reasons -- usually because shelters tend to be drug- and alcohol-free -- but also for reasons like not accepting pets or not housing couples of opposite gender together.
Yet another wall erected in the middle of the open web. Very soon if you're not an approved user on an Apple or Google device browsing an approved company's website on an approved AWS server through an approved Cloudflare proxy there will be no access for you.
'Unsheltered' is a propaganda word and a fig leaf for the very sad reality that we have a chronic opioid and meth crisis which tips many people over into serious mental illness. Giving these individuals expensive housing is not going to solve anything. California is a magnet for substance abuse casualties and as then SF mayor Newsom found at the end of his grandiose plan to 'end homelessness' ever more people arrived to take the places of those who have been given resources.

https://www.sfchronicle.com/archive/item/A-decade-of-homeles...

There is a lot of land and resources in California to help these individuals focus on recovery and it should be possible to keep the cartel drug dealers away from them in a non urban area.
I didn't claim it wasn't O(1). I just said that for sets to automatically be sorted like the parent comment claimed, it would have to be O(logn) insertion since that's the fastest you can insert into a sorted data structure. Obviously sets are not sorted, and thus are able to maintain O(1) insertion.
There's also one with 3 switches and 3 bulbs; the solution is the same except you leave the third one on.

You don't have to wait for bottom. Any time rates come down by say 30%, you refinance. You keep doing it so eventually you settle into 2-3% regim.
Lots of people buy with cash to win bidding wars. Sometimes they also just hate the idea of a mortgage hanging over their heads.

I've also known people who have enough familial wealth that they just don't care.
Well, the problem there is that simply being homeless isn't a crime (which I will say seems to me to be reasonable - the alternative is things like the Victorian Poorhouses). Throwing trash all over the place (since there are no public trash services to speak of in most cities, and homeless people don't have service from trash haulers) is a crime, but if they were issued citations, they couldn't pay, and still don't have any way to get rid of their trash... I would think that using public money to haul away trash would have a pretty good return on investment for everyone concerned.
Living in Europe, I’m one of the rare millionaires so I have a house, 150m2 (on the Côte d’Azur, I admit it’s expensive), but even for me, thinking of “a bell for mother to signal us to come to dinner” is the thing that belong to the times when energy was unlimited, and therefore house sizes and taxes on inhabitable square meters. It’s not that we do have bells here, but we don’t have the square meters anymore.
Once the VGA standard was introduced, there was a proliferation of 16-bit ISA cards that support VGA along with the previous EGA, CGA standards.

There also seemed to be few obstacles to supporting VGA in an 8-bit card, and if we can believe a few eBay searches, these can still be obtained. So any pre-16-bit XT-bus PC was a candidate for a VGA upgrade.

That's how we rolled in those days and that's why building PCs is known as "LEGO for Adults".

Agreed - using a sync service can help bring in data to be backed up, or make copies of a backup. The advantage you mentioned is one of many that we get from using a backup system for backups.

CD Projekt was considered a solid developer before Cyberpunk.
However, Cyberpunk was (completely) broken during its initial release 2 years ago (and still is on some of the platforms). The industry is in shambles if this is what meets expectations.
I played the originals back in their day as a wee lad, and while it was scary -- and aaah the old lights-go-out-when-you-grab-the-macguffin trick -- I don't appreciate it in the same way that I did with Doom 3. The latter seemed to take a lot of inspiration from Resident Evil/Alone in the Dark. The original Doom was just lots of cheap traps.

In any case, while I like Doom 3 I am glad the series didn't go in that direction afterwards. When lukewarm Quake 4 came out I was beginning to worry that id had lost its touch... luckily Doom 2016 saw a return to form.

From what I recall at the time it was because Yahoo wanted to go down the standard ad serving model to monetize tumblr and the presence of porn was getting in the way of that. They didn't realize or didn't believe that one of the big reasons a lot of people were on tumblr to begin with was for smut.
Exactly. And Nakamura takes in that video the position that 100% is the perfect game. It's not. 100% means you made exactly the same moves an engine would made, but engines sometimes have two best moves with only a minimal preference for one of them. Those decisions are the ones that made Nakamura best games "mere" 80'ish%, in less important moves he did the second bests according to the engine.

If you are a top player and cheat, you would only require a couple of decisions here an there in complex positions, and the games would be still at roughly 75%. But if you don't fully understand the line, or you're not in the zone, and the engine suggest something crazy (but winner) you need all the following moves.

Zotac just introduced their new ZBOX PI336 pico pocket-sized computer:

https://www.zotac.com/us/product/mini_pcs/zbox-pi336-pico-wi...

It's not a single-cable device, but it has a lot of ports. It runs a slow processor, has only 4G of RAM and 128G of storage...and reviews of previous generations have not been kind.

My personal tiny PC lust object is the Ockel Sirius A Pro:

https://www.ockelcomputers.com/sirius-a/

It's six years old now?, and runs an Atom processor...and they're asking USD$800 for one, but it's got 8 gigs of RAM, 128 gigs of storage, and has a battery and 1080p touch display. Hopelessly underpowered and overpriced, I still desperately want one.

EDIT: Finally, there's the MeLE Quieter3Q, available on Amazon. See the reviews on YouTube.
Our organization moved from AWS to GCP. We were very integrated in AWS, but the migration wasn’t so bad, and even with the benefit of hindsight I would never have thought that we should have strived to be cloud agnostic. Or rather, the best way to be “cloud agnostic” is to architect your applications sensibly such that changing from S3 to GCS is a relatively small, localized change in each application. Also, having a good test suite really helps to protect against regressions, and a culture of documentation will help to make sure you know what things to port over and what things are vestiges of some old requirements and so on. Ultimately, moving cloud providers wasn’t that bad in my experience.
Of course not, nor do all Russians. Thank you for making my point.
It's right there in your first sentence. Docusign is a SF company; If we are take an average SF salary of 100k over 7400 employees that's a $740 million expense. And considering their net loss is less than $118 million its obvious they are paying under market rate.
LOL! Sage and hilarity in one small story. Reading through the rest now :-)
Agreed. On top of that it's just going to make CAPTCHAs even more user-hostile once the people behind them realize they have to now filter out Apple's algorithm. I somehow doubt they'll just read a user agent and adjust the difficulty accordingly.
> which law protects salary information?

To my knowledge, none. There are some laws that exist about some groups (e.g. the IRS) disclosing salary data. But there are whole data-broker businesses built around getting salaries reported to them from employers and using that data.
I think I was just a bit too subtle with my joke.

VSCode doesn't seem like a "on trusting trust" attack vector since we can easily observe the git outputs of the C/C++ source and these parts often reviewed by peers. Unlike object code -- we can always take a look at the disassembly but in practice it's not scrutinized.

It's probably frustrating to those who work on Firefox to suggest that it somehow depends on Chrome. I get that. But it wasn't where I was going.

There is some kinda-out-there reality though -- with something like WASM or v8 you can theoretically run real toolchains like gcc and clang "in the browser". ;)
Ask HN: Would you ever consider building a CRUD app on top of Snowflake?
In the enterprise environment we are seeing the push to leveraging Snowflake more and more use-cases. I'm a traditionalist that views that for OLAP style analytical workloads that Snowflake is fine, but once you get into OLTP workloads with simple singleton operations (single UPDATE, INSERT, DELETE) that Snowflake will be slow for the users. I realize they have recently released (in-preview) some new tech called Hybrid Tables that aims to solve for both workloads. They also have something called the "Search Optimization Service" to aid in mitigating bottlenecks imposed by wildcard searches.

Does anyone have any experience in this area? Are teams starting to think about building CRUD apps that connect directly to Snowflake? To me it seems like there are some tradeoffs vs a traditional RDBMS.

Thanks
I've been eyeballing this kind of setup lately, because Dropbox has become so hostile to simple use. Hours of delay between "changed small text file" and "synced", endless "bugs" that push things to cloud-first storage rather than the synced folders I have set up, and using more and more resources with every upgrade. I'm so sick of their business-oriented shift.

The gas is not standing by itself, Russia refused to sell it as a reaction to Western help to Ukraine and sanctions. Getting it running again would require nations to go beg to Russia, who would probably ask for all the sanctions removed and help to Ukraine stop.

But I'm pretty sure both US and various EE countries would not want to do that, leading to fracture and instability in EU and NATO in pretty critical time. For example people of Poland, which hosts literally millions of Ukrainian refugees would probably freak out if what they see as "rich west people" start complaining about money and ask for support for Ukraine to stop because gas is now expensive.

To summarise, we can't buy the Russian gas because they would ask us to do unacceptable things for it, and it would probably destroy EU from within. That's my take at least.

Also seems that someone is taking that choice away now, with blowing up Nord Stream.

As for the impact of sanctions and the energy war, I'm not an expert but I find Perun's videos pretty insightful - but I admit "hour long powerpoint presentation by military analyst on youtube" is pretty strange genre. This video touches on sanctions, economy and the energy war: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ce5TR-qWCk4

You're right I was pretty blasé about the suffering of people, and partially it's because I live pretty close to Ukraine, but still I shouldn't have.
