I was thinking and talking specifically of GPUs and reductions (aka multiple core interacting) during which you don't always know the exact order of operations.

And also, tell that to the people that went from a compiler using x87 instructions to one using SSE instructions and between two binaries from the same code get different results. Yes, the exact same suite of FP instructions should always give the same results. And that's also supposing you're not loading some library that sets ugly fast-maths flags (see the recent yak-shaving session by @moyix).
Oh, that's not that I thought the title meant!

Imagine if you could hyperlink as you handwrote notes, fluidly with the motion or gesture of the pen. As with text editors like emacs or *vim, you'd create new modes of thinking as you interact with a machine at the speed of thought, with the underpinning physical motions being too fast and too easy for conscious attention. Make wormholes from one part of the writing surface to a distant one, recording connections, asides, without conscious effort. No more than you expend on the shapes of letters, or the layout of QWERTY.

Instead, we're kind of stuck on the UX of "ordered sequence of rectangles", with some usability hacks to mitigate the severe limitations of this skeuomorphism.

Surely there must be some astounding low-hanging fruit here, in the UX of epaper handwriting as a tool of exploratory thought.

> But I already excluded issues of finance and recognition in my conditions above.

Finance is pretty important though, if you want to feed and shelter yourself and your family. Most other types of work cannot be made worthless by others seeing it and copying it.

But the work of researching and thinking and producing a solution can, so the government figured there should be a way to recoup costs and provide incentive.
> That’s not transformative that’s derivative. That term applies and it’s not fair use as derivative

Pedantic, but the law is pedantic: fair use works are inherently derivative of the work they're based off of. Fair use is just an exception to the 'must get permission' requirement of creating a derivative work.

Show HN: Secure Replacement for Process.env in Node.js
Established companies with opinionated infrastructure can help with this.

I sure wouldn’t want to write the backend of a crud app in Fortran, nor the front end. Or do anything with Fortran besides scientific computing (Fortran = Formula Translator…it was built with a limited use case in mind!)

Companies that adapt to newer frameworks and not write everything in C++ are more efficient, but only if they control how much variation of tooling there is within a discipline.

So today, you do have to specialize in a discipline a bit more (front end, backend, data) but each discipline has a sensible set of tools IMO. A developer can and should get some exposure to a secondary discipline to be well rounded and “T-shaped”, but should also appreciate the value of specialization.

It was called Voyager, and was about porting the company's software, that was currently running on SunOS/SPARC, to Linux/x86. (As SPARC was about to be EOL'd.)

Like Voyager, the space probe, it was about moving away from the Sun (OS) :-)
I’ll second Foreignborn’s comment. I potentially could have gone the engineering route. I chose product design mostly because I enjoyed it more and felt like I was a stronger designer than engineer. I don’t see much difference in pay or respect. I suppose it depends on the org and whether product design is strategic though.
This is a useful approach unless your customers are behind CGNAT, huge enterprises, government offices, university campuses, hospitals etc. In those cases you have a small number of IPs with lots of people behind them, and one employee who keeps refreshing an error page too many times can block the entire access for everyone else.

Analysis of Human Behavior by Mining Textual Data: Current Research Topics
Not just floating point maths either. The built-in "integers" in your computer don't behave like the integers taught in school either but that's how we tend to think about them. This is why I argue trapping is the most acceptable choice for arithmetic problems in general purpose languages, if the program tries to add 150 to 150 in an unsigned 8-bit integer, that's a programming error. By all means offer wrapping arithmetic, sometimes it's what the programmer actually wanted and they benefit from being able to clarify that - but most often they didn't want that and would be astonished that 150 + 150 = 44.
If we put on a cynical hat, your page reads like "I've never heard of lock-free algorithms based on atomic operations. I therefore must have just invented it and I get to name it: how about beneficial use of race conditions?"

When Google first appeared on the tech scene, a lot of us were excited to have a great tool for search that actually kicked back relevant things you needed. And they toyed with great experiments, most of which are all dead except for the most boring of them: the traditional productivity suite of email, documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. (For the record, I have never seen or heard of a single person in my entire knowledge of Google ever use Slides.) Of course, Chromebooks and Chrome as well (but...).

Their missteps are so public and feel so egregious, and that's what this article is underscoring. Great and fun things that clearly they are not able to monetize, no matter how much they throw into it. Yet the things that they go all in on are usually things no one actually needs or wants, such as Google Plus and Stadia. Instead, as again pointed out by the article, Google puts out great experiments that people love, and the management and marketing at Google simply are never able to get their shit together to monetize those things in ways to make the products profitable enough to keep around, such as the article-mentioned Reader (which I am also still bitter about), and just destroying other great tools like Picasa to hoist less useful web-based generic experiences upon the user base they build up.

Google is really, truly, at this point so many years into their existence, an afterthought for most end users. When non-tech people say Google they mean Chrome almost 100% of the time. They mean a web browser. People still have and use yahoo.com and aol.com emails more than anyone thinks, and gmail might be Google's second most successful product after Chrome, but for a grand majority, Google = Chrome.

I think the overabundance of choices is still a major issue but I think an even bigger problem is the growth in complexity of languages and development environments. C++ was already a complex language in 1998. Today it's probably at least three times bigger, to the point where being a true expert in the language is almost beyond the capacity of a single individual. Other languages and ecosystems are no better. There's little comparison between what you had to know to consider yourself an expert web developer in 2000 compared to today.

You think all Distros that do something different need big warnings on their home page to make sure novices who just want to try "Linux" don't get stuck? Like Guix, or GoboLinux? (OK, GoboLinux says it "redefines the entire filesystem hierarchy" - but it makes it sound like a good thing, not a warning.)

You think that if someone tells a novice to "try Guix" or "try GoboLinux", and they get disgruntled with Linux in general that that's Guix's or GoboLinux's fault? Maybe Guix/Gobo should just go back to doing things the same way as everyone else?

Or is Debian's problem that it's just too good (too big/too popular/too established) as a distro to have a niche like "being Free"? Maybe it should work on being less user-friendly and shrink the user-base in order to keep doing the Free thing without accidentally getting recommended to newbies and turning them away from "Linux"?

I think you missed the point. Let me expand.

I mean, yes, what you say is true, but it just amounts to saying "synchronization is a solvable problem". At their core, ALL synchronization paradigms (spin polling, interrupt masking, OS-managed process suspend, hardware memory barriers, weird lockless tricks like Dekker's algorithm, you name it) can be understood to be ways of enforcing "para-determinism" on environments that don't provide it.

In SMP, things don't happen in reliable orders. They don't. They never will. They can't. But your hardware and OS platforms are smart and provide trickery so that at least you can guarantee that "some" things happen in reliable orders. And then you construct software such that correct behavior is dependent only on that subset of ordering and not everything.

Because there is no determinism in SMP, only that which you construct.

More like 4 or 5 distinct sets of tools and that collection changes every few years.
There certainly is a product management lesson in here

It’s not enough to launch a product, you need conviction, and skin in the game, that the product is a good idea. And when your bets don’t pay off, you need to pivot like your life depends on it.

Google could never succeed with stadia (or other big bets) if there’s little downside risk for those involved to its failure. Instead of digging deep and getting creative with the model, they can shrug and give up.

You can’t give people amazing comfort and stability then expect them to take outsized risks.
> i don't believe remixing is popular enough for that.

I suspect it would be a lot more popular if people didn't risk getting dragged into a courtroom for doing it.

> freely allowing remixing will only increase the ratio of junk vs good art.

Remixing has the ability to take bad art and make it better. Most of everything is garbage, but fortunately nobody is forced to be exposed to it all either. People who don't want to spend their time looking outside of narrowly curated selections of available content or what's already gained popularity never have to. All art is built off of previous works, and even if someone creates a work that you hate, someone else may by inspired by that work to make something you love. It doesn't make sense to want to prevent the creation of new creative works out of fear that they might not be "good" in your opinion.

Even if, somehow, it did make sense to hinder the creation of new creative works copyright would not be the tool for the job. Copyright already has a job. Copyright is supposed to encourage the creation of new creative works. Sadly it is currently being used to suppress art and artists, which is why it is broken and needs to be reformed.

There are some people who want copyright to be as restrictive as possible. Very wealthy and powerful industries for example. They've spent a lot of time and money to try to convince us that copyright should be as restrictive and long lasting as possible, but that's entirely for their benefit and not ours. It's bad for art, it's bad for artists, and it's bad for the public as a whole. They've convinced us to muzzle each other and lock up our own culture so they can increase their profits. The longer it takes us to fix that, the more great art we lose.
There is if the algorithm contains race conditions that cause non-deterministic output.
The submitted article goes above and beyond to guarantee that the code always output the same answer even though it has race conditions. But that's sometimes not possible or, if it's possible, it's too much of a hassle so it's rarely done.

For example, this project https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/texture-synthesis generates textures and if you run the same code with the same input various times, the results will be slightly different. Here https://github.com/EmbarkStudios/texture-synthesis#notes it says: "When using multiple threads for generation, the output image is not guaranteed to be deterministic with the same inputs. To have 100% determinism, you must use a thread count of one"
You are underestimating cost of rendering and overestimating cost of machine learning models. And forgetting the fact that cameras are already used in modern headsets for position tracking and more(there is Quest 2 demo where you cast spells using your hands, no controllers), and it is much much more complicated task than eye tracking.
Then fix the trains rather than throwing away more money forcing those rich 1%ers into cars rather than letting them get out of the way. The miniscule fraction of land required for a viable bicycle network frees up more space for suburbanites to drive in than tens or hundreds of road widening projects.

It is physically impossible to have everyone in many areas of paris drive, because after a parking garage and a fifth of a piece to drive in there's no space left.

Empathy is not forcing those poor suburbanites to spend a third of their income on a car.

Empathy is not taking up 2/3rds of the land in the outer regions with car infrastructure rather than housing and productive commecial uses.

Empathy is not forcing sparse development for the sake of landlords' property values.

You should try it some time.

Also the entire premise that the actually poor suburbanites are all driving into the city every day is absurd. Mosstof them would be paying more for their car and a parking spot than their wage.
It's not about resentment. It's about reward. Unless you're in a very privileged position you need to make money from your work or you won't be about to continue doing it. If you have done great work you hope to be rewarded for it and that includes financials.

I want to live in a world where people who do awesome work are awesomely rewarded for it.

I don't get what you're about with the scarcity argument. Everyone is free to write a novel or create software or whatever. I just want people who do the work to be in position to profit from it not someone who didn't do the work
Saying that it’s okay to discriminate against poor Whites, Jews, and Asians because some are rich is entirely racist:

You’re viewing people as defined by their race, not their individual attributes and histories.
I've personally only heard the term "race condition" used to refer to bugs that have their source in non-deterministic execution of programs. In most cases, they refer to a specific sequence of events that the programmer did not foresaw, which lead to incorrect computation.

Using the term "race condition" in context of correct programs would make it cover exactly the same universe of programs as the term "non-determinism". I that think the distinction, however trivial (race condition = incorrect behavior, non-determinism = correct behavior), is still useful.

Great article, by the way. I did not mean to criticize it in any way. My "slight nitpick" about meaning of the words is really just that - a nitpick :)
One way to look at it: this is like requiring all Maths research to be applied mathematics, because we demand to get the social benefits right now and it is your job to find it. I don't know if they actually verify what you wrote in your declaration and how.

Sony has done a better job with other lines -- with Walkman, Discman, Vaio [Letter], PlayStation, Alpha, Aibo, and such. When they have a huge array of products, as with cameras or headphones, they soon become unnameable. They do have a set of headphone models called "LinkBuds" now, though. So they're not as clueless as you think.
Show HN: FocusedEdit – a classic Macintosh to web browser shared text editor
I built a classic Macintosh text editor that allows users to do shared bidirection live editing with a web browser on a modern computer. Essentially it allows allows you to really quickly and easily share and edit text snippets on a classic Macintosh. I've tested the software on System 2.0 through System 7.6.1, but it should work on all PPC and 68k Macintoshes running up to MacOS 9.2.2 assuming they have a modem serial port available.

In addition to the github repository, I wrote up a blog post here: https://henlin.net/2022/10/02/Introducing-FocusedEdit-for-cl... outlining how to get up and running. Both the repo and the blog post have a demo gif to help explain exactly what FocusedEdit does as well as how it works.

They're looking for a pill they can patent, and then will demonize and do a fear campaign on the non-patentable options.

If the supposed anti-depressant effect of whatever specific molecule they claim doesn't induce relatively rapid nerve generation, opening up previously closed or blocked off pathways - that pruned off arguably due to trauma and lack of use - then they likely aren't as powerful as where the mystic effects come from; it's the temporary turning off, removing the ego mind from the algorithm of the mind/the mind's eye - allowing you to see reality very differently then you've been formed rigidly in beforehand; some tribes give Ayahuasca to their babies to keep them open as they develop, rather than letting trauma and/or natural processes lock them into more narrow behaviour and thinking patterns.
