Gmail catches more spam than Fastmail does. I almost never get actual spam in my Gmail inbox, though they sometime mark non-spam as spam. Having actual spam turn up in my Fastmail inbox roughly once a week is a little annoying.
I don’t think anyone in their right mind would claim that, for example, MS Word would be better if you needed to scroll to the top of the document to see any of the controls.

That's position:fixed or perhaps position:absolute, not position:sticky. And honestly, the former two are far less annoying to experience because they're there from the beginning, while the latter trick you into thinking they can be scrolled out of sight, but don't.
I mean it’s probably quite tricky to keep a constant eye on every KM of both pipelines - but given the number of surveys involved just to get NS2 to a state where it could originally be pressurised - before they went bankrupt. I would say you could at least do semi regular inspections using ROVs.
>46. Deeper research into P v NP will result in a far deeper and clearer understanding of exactly what is and is not possible in machine learning, and the nature of intelligence itself.

This seems like one of the most far fetched and least informed predictions on the list. I am exceedingly confident that P v NP research will not have relevance in the philosophical field of understanding the nature of intelligence. Additionally, I am not aware how "machine learning" would intersect with P v NP research.
I highly recommend the free app DevCleaner - https://apps.apple.com/us/app/devcleaner-for-xcode/id1388020...

I use it almost weekly to clear out the tens of gigabytes of garbage Xcode regularly generates.
American metro system problems have nothing to do with Capitalism (TM), in fact several other capitalist countries, like Japan, manage robust metro systems just fine. America hasn't built metro en masse since the '40s and so local expertise on building and maintaining metro isn't there, increasing maintenance cost. In most countries with robust metro systems, cars and rail are standardized, leading to a robust market within the country for parts and a large pool of specialized labor able to debug and maintain these metro systems. In the US, every metro system is a one-off. This is exacerbated by the fractal-nature of local politics in the US which means that there's no general American standard for building rail/metros as each local government comes up with their own bespoke requirements.

BART is a perfect example of this. BART went with non-standard rail gauge and very long trains and stations. This makes it difficult and expensive for BART to buy new cars and fix problems.
Online I've seen some takes that America is responsible for this. I get why. America's foreign policy has done and continues to do some appalling things (eg any number of coups). The idea is that the US doesn't want Europe to be reliant on Russian gas or that Russia may be able to use the prospect of that gas (coming into winter) to sway Europe with respect to Ukraine.

I don't buy it. The blowback potential would be enormous. It's also not America's style. Coups? Sure. Unjustified military action? Absolutely. Directly destroying infrastructure of critical importance to supposed allies? I have trouble seeing it.

If this is by human action (which seems entirely possible) then Russia seems the most likely suspect. The counterargument is that why would Russia destroy something that they're dependant on? Sure Russia isn't selling gas today but the possiblity of them selling it in the future has value (to Russia and Europe).

But Russia, like probably every country and certainly the US, is not a monolith. There are competing interests. Putin is reportedly facing dissent for how badly the war in Ukraine is going. Russia has hardline nationalists, those who are anti-war and other factions.

The example I'm reminded of from history is Cortez who 500 years ago upon arriving in South America burned his ships. Why? So there'd be no way out. There could be no mutiny if there was no means of escape.

So sabotaging the pipeline could be to undermine the anti-war movement who might seek to oust Putin and resume trade with Europe. It might well solidify any wavering nationalists. Who knows?

Another theory: Russia is demonstrating a capability. I think that makes less sense.
That's an insane amount of a very potent greenhouse gas. Seems like it'd be better to strike a match and flare it off as CO2 instead of methane, which has 80 times the greenhouse warming effect of CO2.

Thanks!

If the relatively young population segments we’d need to draw from are in rapid decline, as they are across the western hemisphere then it doesn’t matter how much cash we have if there’s no one left to emigrate here.
There are an infinite number of possible coherent unit systems, all of them totally arbitrary. Why should any system be preferred over the rest?
For moving things around across monitors & snipping them to specific half of desktop I personally use Winkey+[shift]+arrows shortcuts, I recommend you check it out if you haven't already! I honestly don't remember when was the last time I needed a window with custom size. Maybe when placing 2 windows side by side? But even then, the OS recognizes that I want to see 2 windows at the same time and adjust sizes of both windows...

what do you mean by "embedded"?
I'd wager it is heavily correlated with political lobbyist campaign donations. Theoretically they couldn't really trade quickly due to the speed of bureaucracy, but could change future legal policy that affects an industry commodity. =)
Angstroms stick around in chemistry and biochemistry because they're approximately the length of a carbon-hydrogen bond (~1.09Å), and therefore easy to reason about and talk about.

Saying 1.09e-10 meters is fine, I guess, but it's a lot easier and more intuitive to think in terms of units of CH (plus 10%), especially when you're talking about more than one.

Remembering that CH is about 1Å and CC is about 1.5Å is such a basic approximation that it's become universal.
Sorry, I wasn't clear. I want the SEC to shut down all crypto and I want them to shut it down as early as possible, not years after the dump. I think they are competent to do this but they're prioritizing their resources poorly.
Fastmail is great. I have used them for years. My only issue with them is their policy on recycling usernames https://www.fastmail.help/hc/en-us/articles/1500000277342-Ca.... Gmail and Proton do not allow for username recycling, for example. I hope Fastmail changes their policy for folks who use an @fastmail.com username.

In Norway during December, 'normal' temperatures are a daily maximum of 5c. That's not fruit-growing weather for any variety I'm aware of.

However, it's true that fruit was a common Christmas gift - specifically because it wasn't in season & was therefore hard to come by. Eating common, readily-available food would hardly be appropriate for a major celebration.
Does it matter who he blames?

There is enough blame to be spread around for both major parties. Trump had his -15- 45 days to slow the economy. Congress printed trillions of dollars. Nearly every governor was more draconian than the federal government.
Should not be necessary. It's just wrong to have a whole app dedicated to cleaning up after Apple's Lazy Ass.
I remember Tiananmen Square. People were horrified at the barbaric reaction of the PRC to peaceful protests. Thirty plus years later, they are one of the world's largest trading partners. Despite their barbaric treatment of the Uighars. So I don't believe that countries won't salvage their "relationship" with Russia given half a chance.
I know it's a meme that HN loves Fastmail, but it's a good meme. I've been using them for ~5 years and love it. I use their custom email alias feature all the time. The few times I've had to interact with their support it's been prompt + effective!
There are, as far as I know, no economists at CCP anymore. They had one economist for a number of years but he left somewhere around 5-7 years ago.
Numpy runs on CPU. Tfjs runs on GPU. Not a fair comparison.

The system requirements are something they put out on paper, parent isn't necessarily saying you need a better PC, just saying Microsoft themselves say that, which you can verify yourself.
>I'm not sure if these people are a small step up from the call center scammers because at least they deliver something or a small step down because they're supposedly capable enough to do better.

This is what I don't understand.... They have the skills (supposedly).. I mean sure, if they are foreign developers they wont always be getting the best pay or opportunities in their own country... But I have never seen a startup shy away from hiring foreign development teams in the past, so long as they do good work. I have a hard time believing they are competent enough to do good work, but with a complete lack of valid, legal and morally sound opportunities.

I also have such a hard time believing this type of fraud is actually all that profitable or pans out successfully often enough to make it worth it... Are companies really doing that little due diligence?

On the flip side, I also hate that the interview process for valid candidates is turning into a 3 ring circus of hoop jumping because of scams like this. Companies really need to find the right balance between due diligence and not making interviews absolutely absurd and insulting.
All the luck to you! You seem to have all the qualities needed to succeed in our industry, and some on top: not many engineers are this good at speaking. If you can wrestle with the technical problems well enough you'll find soft skills to be such a force multiplier it's ridiculous.
I normally would not want to comment short "I Agree"s. But this is music in my ears.
Let's get to the most important questions, can you play Tetris on Pinecil with the new OS update?
Maybe you use email very differently? I find myself occasionally needing years-old emails to find info I've long-since forgotten and it's a lot easier to have all of it in one place.
why do you want to reload a page that you are currently on? if you want to go quickly to top/bottom of a page just use home/end keys
What is the end game from the scammer's point of view? Sign-on bonus? I don't understand how that would work given all the legal work required. At some point the fake identity must be made obvious?
I don't see the timing as significantly different than the linked article about the deli, though. It's a civil infraction, not a life-and-death violent crime case. It happens with lawyers and injunctions and it takes time. The goal of SEC enforcement isn't to prevent scams mid-fraud, it's to make fraud unattractive as a moneymaking endeavor.
Why manual and not a dynamic allocation of power budget like gaming laptops use? The driver decides which of the CPU or GPU is "starved" and gives the other more power.
The blog post attempted to explain what makes workerd interesting as a platform, independent of Cloudflare. It allows for a new development model where you split your application into smaller components. Maybe that's interesting to you, maybe it isn't.

But the other reason you might develop on workerd is because you want the option to deploy to Cloudflare later. The advantage of Cloudflare isn't just that it's "edge" and therefore closer to clients -- it's also just a lot easier to deploy code on Workers a lot of the time than it is to manage servers on traditional cloud providers.
Gatekeep much?
The big push for diversity is an anti union movement.
You continue to he condescending and wrong. You urged me to look up marketing names as if they trumped reality when the relevant number was already in my comment.

Those predictions initially pointed directly to the 2020-2030 range, then the goal posts were moved to keep moores law alive (it's not a doubling every 18 months, it's 2 years). They point to 2040 now. If you stick to the 18 months rule under which the predictions based on the hard physical limits were made in 2000-2008 then it has already come true. Putting ever smaller numbers in the names of process nodes where the density of functional units is barely increasing does not change this.

Nehalim was noted for it's relatively large die area and low transistor count at about 2.7MTr/mm^2.

core2 on 45nm was about 3.8

Zen 4 is about 93.

93/2.7 is a factor of 36, 93/3.8 is 24. 2^7 is 128, 2^9 is 512.

Mobile processors are slightly better from a raw numbers POV, but already have a large portion of their area dedicated to tiled functional units like sram and gpu cores. Switching from a complex bespoke design to tiling only helps once. Even an m1 at 133MTr/mm^2 vs nehalim is only a factor of 48. These numbers are not even commensurable, because a much larger fraction of the transistors in the M1 do not do anything than in a core2

Prices per unit of die area are about stable although chiplets are needed (again) to maintain yield. This will go up with EUV and more exotic materials used to increase the dialectric constant.

Clocks are stable.

Performance per watt will continue to increase for a while after using architectural changes similar to some of those mentioned in TFA, but there is no getting around the second law with a classical computer.
Think it was pretty clear it was a US operation now.. No need to wait. Reports are CIA let other countries know about a "possible" attack weeks ago.

US sees this conflict dragging out throughout the winter. They cannot afford to have EU nation states go back to Russian Gas.
You're both right, just for each of your own audiences.

It's the greatest MMO ever for people who appreciate high-stakes play, cutthroat communities, and rewarding significant investments of time over a long period.

And it's a boring, empty, ugly, poorly designed slog for new players who duck in for a two-week trial, connect with nobody, accomplish or witness nothing that's player-driven (because almost all of it happens outside of where new players can even reach), have a terrible or dull first <10 hours, and realize they'd rather play something that frontloads more of the rewarding gameplay and punishes failure less.
Hypothesis is defined as "
a supposition or proposed explanation made on the basis of limited evidence as a starting point for further investigation."

Also am I to understand that you will be conducting an experiment as to whether or not we should clutch our pearls when a boss dates a secretary? And you have little evidence in support of this notion at the present time, you were proposing it to begin your investigation?

As for people having no trouble reproducing, well... lots of people had lots of trouble reproducing. Evolution doesn't work if everyone reproduces. There pretty much has to be a whole lot of people not reproducing for natural selection to "select" the ones who will be reproducing.

I think you really mean people in recent years had no trouble reproducing but I'm being pendantic and just wanted to push back a little on the idea we should expect everyone to reproduce.

I already gave you one evolutionary psychiatrist's vague proposal for why we should have trouble reproducing: we no longer live in the evolutionary environment, so it wouldn't be unexpected to see us not acting like our ancestors.

It's vague enough that it isn't obviously wrong, or obviously made up by someone trying to sell you something.

While "we shouldn't clutch our pearls when a boss dates a secretary" sounds suspiciously like what someone would say who is trying to sell us something

I don't believe you have such a motivation, but I recall watching a lecture where the professor was saying how all the old evolutionary psychiatrist professors were divorcing their wives to hook up with young women half their age. They were clearly inventing a justification for their behavior, or drawn to that field because of their personal oddities.

Russia could have just turned off the tap.

The sabotage ensures Europe can't back off from the US sanctions now.

The Pinecil V2 has a new processor with Bluetooth. I'm a little fuzzy on whether it offers WiFi as well, but Pine64 suggested it could be used to automatically activate a fume extractor based on the tip temperature. Home Assistant integration wouldn't be hard.
Any reason why you would suspect it is deliberate astroturfing rather than a frustratingly common problem?
This is a very strange comment - the modern world is historically friendly to a single man approaching women. In fact prior to online dating, a lot of people would've pointed this out as a reason as to why dating is harder in the modern world, because people have too many choices. The same complaint that people have about online dating applies more generally to any situation where it's relatively easy for single men to approach women.

Historically, romantic relationships didn't rely on these cold approaches because a lot of people met their partners by introduction and/or through the romantic relationship evolving from acquaintance/friendship.

Well, "you" being the entity that controls the head end of the VPN, which controls settings not (always) tweakable by the end user.
From development point of view, workerd would encourage this new nanoservices/lambda/function paradigm because it would be much easier to develop and test in self-hosted environment or even CI/CD pipeline.
Ask HN: Advice on a legacy database migration project?
I'm writing a blog post that aims to share real-world wisdom about what's involved in a legacy database migration. If we do this right, we'll curate advice that can help save someone else the pain you went through -- or guide them to repeat the things that worked out well.

Maybe it'll come out as "7 things you should know before you start a legacy database migration." Or "tales of the lost." Let's find out.

The key bit: What advice would you give to someone who's about to embark on a legacy database migration?
....and why is THAT the advice you offer?

Now, tell me your own story:
What was the project?
What did you expect to happen... and what actually did? That is, what did you think would be hard... and was it?
What did you learn from the experience?
What were you proud of?
What do you never want to experience again?

DO include the technology just to make the details make sense; it's fine with me if this was a shift from Oracle to Postgres, though I may file off product names because this is about PROCESS and not brand affinity. Also give me the business context: You worked at a huge financial services firm that was still using a 20-year-old database where the source code was lost, or it was a ma-n-pa retail business whose data was stuck in dBase II and nobody knew it any more. Give me an idea of when it was, as well; 20 years ago is fine because the point is the lessons learned and THEY don't change.

If nothing else, we can all relive our pain. That's healing, right?

I had a similar experience on Triplebyte, but didn’t have the nerve to pursue the line as far as Connor did here.

Was reached out to on Triplebyte by a guy claiming to work for a large casino in Las Vegas which I won’t name. Asked me to sign an NDA before the interview or that he would tell me what the job was. Couldn’t find him on LinkedIn or anything. The NDA was a word document which I think I signed via online service but never physically opened on my machine because (thank god?) I don’t own Microsoft word, on a Windows machine.

Pretty sure it was some sort of scam, but I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what it was they were after. Perhaps this is it.
You have to log in after 3-4 phrases? Why even bother making this whole thing if you just want to prevent people from experiencing it?

Before mainnet launch, which is when the VCs and whales dump on the public.

I'm not sure what's going on with Kin specifically because they lost the SEC case in 2020 but their website makes it look like it's still happening. (If you define constantly switching blockchains as happening.)
Scammer can open a bank account using a fake ID for Connor.
So they hire the real Connor but money goes to a foreign country, to an account owned by the imposter.
As interviewee just ask how you fucked up and could do better next time perhaps.

The interviewer is in a worse place as they have to keep pretending.

The FAA checkrides are nice because by law the inspector has to tell you the moment you fail (if you fail) and then you have the option of returning to the airport or continuing.
Not for most. I used a 16 GB iPhone SE with only a handful of apps for a while, but the biggest problem was the NY Times app where I get my news. Its cache will grow without bound, and once it would get to ~2 GB every few weeks I'd have to uninstall and reinstall the app to delete the cache. (Later on they created an option in settings to delete the cache.)

I thought the 16 GB phone would work for me since I keep everything in the cloud -- no downloaded photos/music/nothing. Nope, and it was all because of app caches. I got so sick of having to uninstall and reinstall some app literally every week to clear its cache.
I am not too concerned about the word "interpreter", and more about cPython being called an "interpreted language", which implies it works like Perl 5, or that cPython being an "interpreter" is somehow a problem. It's normal mode of operation works more like pre-JVM Java, with "interpreted bytecode" from .pyc files.
I’m anti-cryptocurrency (forget the tech, the economics make no sense) but the censorship resistance of a distributed ledger is surely stronger than a centralised database?
