Interesting. Just earlier I went to Bartosz website to see if there was anything and there was not... and then he publishes sound and I see it here on hackernews.
I am going to enjoy this. thanks

Microsoft is simply making more money from more customers on it.

Google Workspace is the main competitor, but they're not the front runner, they're second place.

Things like Apple Pages and Keynote are only used by a small fraction of consumers. They're not taken seriously as an enterprise productivity solution by anyone.
That's what I was thinking. I worked for one of the Fortune 500 insurance companies a few years back. They had a semi-annual cuts that saw a bunch of people laid off, including one person who had been working there for almost 15 years.
It stressed the hell out of me despite being new, though my boss assured there was little reason to fret. That was one of the reasons I decided to switch jobs.

Curation is the main problem. Google's promise was automatic curation based on the link metadata created by people but that's starting to fail as they try to infer intent from other signals fed into large ML models.

I'm not sure if this is solvable problem in the current ecosystem. The commercial web is now pretty much set in stone and I don't think there is a way around the juggernauts and their data centers.
Difference berween your examole and the reboot requirements of various aircraft: aircraft reboots hapoen in controlled environments, on the ground when the aircraft is out of operations and is done be dedicated, trained and certified maintenance staff. Those reboots, while funny on first glance, do not interfere at all with aircraft operations.
Learn to read. I said reducing emissions while growing ENERGY OUTPUT. Not GDP.

Of course GDP grew for all countries over a decade, if it's not that means your country is doing worse than inflation rates lol.

European countries energy output shrank due to outsourcing their energy to places like Russia (something that recently just bit them in the ass)
I don't know who has or has not used that approach, but if you're going to say "Chrome is popular because it did these things" I'm going to wonder why Mozilla didn't do those things. I remember the first time I downloaded Chrome was because I got some item in Runescape for doing that. Why didn't Mozilla do that?

Mozilla has hundreds of millions of dollars at minimum, very likely billions. It's absurd that they're failing so miserably, and it's obscene that their CEO has taken increasingly large 8 figure bonuses while the company has floundered under her leadership.
Math has proven its predictive powers in the real world over and over. It's quite a stretch for it to be fundamentally wrong.

Shouldn't things that expire like access tokens and certificates actually last slightly longer than these fixed calendar lengths to make renewal or rotation possible on the same day/week every year?

For example, if I generate this token on Jan 1, 2023 and it lasts 1 year, I'll now need to generate the new one around December 21st, 2023 to make sure I have some lead time to deal with issues and not wait until the last second. Now, when I rotate the second time, I need to do it around December 14th, 2024...
> why in the hell did we decide that your home, work, grocery store and gym should all be in segregated parts of town where the only way to get from one place to another is an expensive hunk of metal.

Because we decided to prioritize things like peace and quiet, distance from people and outdoor spaces for play, cooking and recreation above not leaving a tiny bubble for your whole life.

Living in tiny condos sucks and isn't for everyone, this is the tradeoff we've chosen.

That said, I'd much rather have my kids walk to school in a suburb than a dense urban area.
You're talking about migrating kernel code to C++, but I'm talking about supporting C++ code in the kernel. That is, if third parties wanted to write Linux drivers, the only supported way was to do it in C.

That aside, the kernel does do polymorphism the hard way (with unions and arrays of function pointers) in a few places; the example I saw was some filesystem code, I think. C++ is also much more type-safe than C, mostly by refusing to implicitly convert between unrelated pointer/reference types and preventing you from inadvertently doing something absurd. References also make null checks unnecessary and convey to the caller that they're supposed to pass something valid, and RAII simplifies a lot of resource management. Templates also reduce boilerplate and are type-safe, although they're also a harder sell and not everyone's cup of tea.

I agree that memory safety is a huge advantage (although on the other hand, a double linked list in Rust is currently impossible without unsafe blocks), but I refuse to believe this decision has nothing to do with stubbornness.
Bad optics, certainly. Both for the U.S. and for the DoD retirees working for not-so-savory governments.

OTOH - certain foreign governments paying top dollar to employ a bunch of military big shots from the U.S. does not say good things about their local talent pools. And the situation may look less-than-inspired to what talented young locals there are.

You can bet the government will jump on it to suppress the growing energy crisis, anti-war and cost-of-living protests though.
Right, I'm familiar with them, but a huge part of the benefit of docker is that it's basically a cross-distro (and, to some degree, cross-platform) very up-to-date server-oriented package manager. There are some efforts to create something like that for Jails but AFAIK none of them have gotten very far. Docker's benefit is that ~everyone uses it so there's usually an official docker image for anything one might want to run, kept in step with releases, plus a substantial history of images for rollbacks and testing and such.

It turns "how do I install and run this?" from a bunch of platform- and distro-specific instructions into `docker-compose up` for everything, with the bonus that the compose file also tells you exactly where data & config for the service live, so it's also concise, guaranteed-accurate, and extremely useful documentation. Old LTS Ubuntu? Can run the same version of a service, with the same command, as on bleeding-edge Arch. On Arch, exact same command. Debian, Red Hat? Same command. MacOS, if you've got docker set up, same command. Windows, ditto. The latter two, non-natively, sure, but it works. Learn docker, and you can use it everywhere, unlike becoming proficient with, say, dpkg/apt or portage or pacman. It can even kinda save you from having to worry about how a given platform's init system and process management works, at least for simple use cases.

Again, if you're doing most or everything on FreeBSD, development and hosting both, those benefits mostly vanish. But the reality is many workplaces or even personal dev+hosting environments are mixed, and docker suits those better than anything else I'm aware of—but if FreeBSD is in the mix, it's the odd-man-out. It's good not (only) because of its kinda-Jails-like isolation, but because of the excellent coverage of the image repository.
Seems like this kind of work, if deemed neccessary, should at least be done somewhere remote.
1) I'd say that "failure" is an imprecise label for an on-going change. A better label is a "work-in-progress experiment" that hasn't panned out yet.

2) Changing the default way of doing business takes time. It took credit cards many years to replace cash and checks as the most common payment methods. There's smart technical people on HN who still barely understand the social and economic implications of crypto despite fully understanding the technology...and most people barely understand anything about crypto. It might take years to start to find traction among a general population. Declaring it done just 1 year into it is very premature.

3) Will it succeed? Who knows, but I'd argue that a country in El Salvador's position is 100% right for taking that approach to their economic development given how difficult it might be to bring industry and business to their country otherwise.

4) I don't follow El Salvador politics too closely, but it seems like their president isn't just a one-trick pony who is only doing the crypto stuff. There's big work there but he's also trying to do stuff to fix crime and corruption and other changes that could help. I've heard mixed results on him, but again I'm not an expert on the country.
If you want that, you can get most of the way there with ActivityPub (Mastodon/Pixelfed/Friendica/etc...) and your choice of service provider. The problem, of course is that the big social platforms so dominate content discovery that things not shared there are unlikely to find a large audience.
If this research does help us to understand that, it should be done in the highest level safety protocol labs, which this was not.

If it is not able to get funding for being done in such a lab, that's probably because the potential learning does not justify such $$ cost. Which means it's also not worth the risk.

You are correct that the virulence of new variants is hard to predict. That very fact means you shouldn't be making new ones, and assuming you can predict how virulent your new one is going to be (and thus how hard it will be to contain).

Yeah, you can tell. At least for now.

Most of it reads like a highschooler trying to pad their word count since there is nothing of substance to say.
I think the only one misunderstanding here is you.

Meta is operating in the UK. Just because it is an American company, they have a presence in the UK. The UK government is demanding they sell Giphy, they don't _HAVE_ to follow that demand, but they'll most likely be banned from operating in the UK, which to them is more valuable than keeping Giphy.

This is no different than a UK based company operating in the US and having the US tell them to sell a product they acquired similarly.

As a matter of fact, the US does this stuff all the time.
I'm talking about when it was breathlessly added to the school curriculum at the time the Glomar ship was being built.

So I was saying something like "I read about leaked story of Moses parting the Red Sea in the newspaper!"; yes, you're right, anybody can learn about Moses from the Bible.
I just finished Suzanne Simard's book, which if you ignore the timelines (early 90's) of when she thought about these things, reads like your kid discovering a love of your favorite hobby and breathlessly explaining each new discovery as they happen.

The new idea I encountered in the book was one of deep rooted trees hydrating the soil by reaching into the water table and pulling it up to the surface. Particularly at night when evaporation rates drop off. I'd read years ago that some African cultures ascribe this power to fig trees (possibly from Wangari Maathai), but I've never seen anything but anecdotal evidence of this happening anywhere else. She anthropomorphized these things but I suspect that some of the activities she saw could more boringly be ascribed to osmotic pressure. Sugars and water are going to leak out across a gradient at some rate even if you try to stop it. Especially across a barrier that is designed to pass water in the opposite direction.

Seems to be working well so far.

To mine bitcoin you need to buy an asic, which is a single purpose physical good with at most two original maker (fabs). It needs to be physically received. This single distribution is trivial to track by the authorities and makes bitcoin mining a permissioned system.

Energy use is so large mining at any non-negligible scale anonymously is impossible. Any serious miner will have to open a company, move to a special facility and get a special energy connection. Mining only makes financial sense in few countries with cheapest energy. Last but not least, due to the difficulty mechanism mining for anyone but enormous miners requires pooling with others.

Pools are public entities that are yet another possible layer of control by regulation. Adding all that and the conclusion is that PoW has zero resistance to regulations. China could take over bitcoin, but they decided to throw away mining instead, only making it possible for America to do so in turn.

All it takes is indirect or direct control over >50% of hashrate to censor anything. It's not possible to create a fork without censoring miners, because any minority fork can be trivially attacked in an adversary situation. If any PoW network even becomes important for American government to try to censor it there's no defense.

To stake in ethereum, you need to buy eth, which can be trivially bought anonymously from anyone that owns eth, most likely fully online without any physical contact. A more permissionless system isn't possible. There's no physical trail, both from ordering asics and from energy use. All that's needed is an internet connection. Staking can be easily fully anonymous and can happen anywhere in the world. That's why PoS is the only way to have a decentralized network.

It's always possible to fork with any arbitrary subset of validators, whether for censorship reasons or other disagreements.

PoW is objectively worse than PoS in literally everything but as a method to distribute coins. Mining is a way to sell coins for energy and hardware cost, which is an advantage at the cost of being worse in everything else, but only in the early period.
Thanks! It looks like it can't cover the back fully the way it covers the front, right? IE the back part is only as a stand and not for protection.
So in your version of reality, 2 million+ Chinese have died due to 'over restrictive policies and draconian imprisonment tactics' post covid-19.
I think this sounds theoretically reasonable, but in reality it's not like this:

- The cost of sponsoring someone for a green card ($50k?) is low compared to engineering salaries.

- Many companies like Google have great retention and the probability that an employee leaves after getting green card is low.

- Companies that are worried about retention often have employees sign a reimbursement agreement when starting the GC process. Something like, if you leave within 2 years of getting the GC you pay a prorated portion of the legal fees.

- In a tight labor market, GC sponsorship is another benefit like compensation, and companies offer it to hire good people. Over the last few years companies like Amazon have changed their GC policy to sponsor folks from day 1 of employment in order to hire people for whom a GC is that important.
It looks like the files are in an older, binary Eagle file format. Importing it into a newer version of Eagle and saving it in an XML format would be the first step. After that, KiCad might be able to open the files if you prefer an open-source tool. From that you could export Gerber files for the fabrication houses.

A board of that size with just two layers should be $2 + shipping for five boards with e.g. JLCPCB. A bit more if you want to go lead-free.

> do things against the wishes of the Pentagon

I'm betting that the Pentagon prefers their retired senior staff don't whore themselves out to potential adversaries. But unless and until they cross a formal line, what are you gonna do? If the Pentagon comes across as punitive, e.g. by revoking any latent security clearances, there'll be a huge backlash. This form of consulting and liaising with international groups by retired military is nothing new, and there are legions of retired staff leveraging their status one way or another. It's a perk of the job. It's also not new that it can sometimes be rather unseemly, to say the least. What might be new is the amount of money being thrown around.

These relationships are quite valuable because while it may not seem that way in our social media bubbles and among our international cosmopolitan peers, the day-to-day cultures and administrative machinations of various governments and militaries can be extremely opaque simply because of the huge differences in presumptions and expectations. And this is true even among allies with seemingly similar cultures, which is why even a country like the U.S. with veritable armies of intelligence analysts do ridiculous *hit like bug Angela Merkel's cellphone. Retired personnel don't need to divulge secrets to provide extremely valuable and timely insights, especially as between countries like the U.S. and Saudi Arabia.
swayvil implies that our universe matches the kind depicted in Greg Egan's novel, Permutation City. In the second half of the book, the protagonists simulate a universe. That universe develops intelligent life that begin to threaten the simulation. So, the protagonists create an in universe representation of themselves - the 'invasion robot' that swayvil mentions - at the edge of the universe. So, by treating the NGC 7469 black hole's event horizon as equivalent to that 'edge of the universe' of the story, swayvil suggests that we have caught sight of ~god assembling a metatron from base components, on its way to convince us of its existence.
Congrats, how will EE proceed? Will we see G1 GC in native image CE anytime soon?
Well, transferring files between an iPhone and a Windows PC is still far more of a pain than it should be.

Still can't just treat the phone as a drive and put files on there.

(edit: or trivially share a folder on the LAN over wifi, without even needing the USB cable, if you're considering the iOS device a 'real computer')
Yeah, for the part of my childhood in SE Asia we had at least a half a dozen varieties. Lots of more interesting fruit than you can get in the US.

Most notably is how terrible pineapples are in the US.

And Cavendish bananas are essentially flavour-free.

Unequivocally, yes.

No, not specifically for that.
If I'm an organization choosing a chat platform, why would I want to use Linen versus Mattermost, which is also self-hostable and open-source, and much more mature? Or Matrix and Element (or any other Matrix client)?

This space is getting pretty crowded, and I'm not sure why I'd want to use Linen rather than one of the many alternatives.
Hello Kolya,

Thank you for offering, and congrats on the prototype and early graduation. I'm seeking paid work, in addition to or in place of whatever equity you can offer – if you think that's an option with your project I'd be glad to talk more.

My email is jacobshandling{at}icloud{dot}com, feel free to reach out.
One really nice thing about Rust's use of Arc is that you don't need to bump atomic references in a hot loop, or much at all usually.

Once you have an Arc<T> you can `as_ref()` to get a &T. So maybe you need an Arc to share something with another thread, so you clone it once. Once you're in that thread though you can go back to just using `&` and never touch the atomic again.
> - nvidia drivers always worked, unlike ubuntu that tried to install opensource-not-working-driver every time it gets

Many, many moons ago a video game called Return to Castle Wolfenstein was released, and in addition to a Linux server where you could host multi-player games, it actually had a Linux client.

I played on the Linux client for a while with an NVidia GPU. But my main desktop was FreeBSD at the time, and so instead of dual-booting I used FreeBSD's Linux API/ABI emulation to play RtCW with FreeBSD NVidia drivers. I even got a few more FPS under FreeBSD.

If that were the case what happens when you give them a physical card? Do they also ask for your address? That would be amazingly slow
Because Schönbohm is also the founder of Cyber-Sicherheitsrat Deutschland e.V.
Besides that the name and appearance is confusing, as it seems to be an official government organisation, like the Nationaler Cyber-Sicherheitsrat - which is infact an official organisation.

That all would be ok, if not a couple of huge companies are member of this society. So, if you are in cyber security, this is a little bit too fishy.
One of the core strengths of Bitcoin is in dynamic difficulty adjustment. If there are fewer people mining then the difficulty to mine new blocks will automatically decrease, which will in turn increase the value/revenue per block. And vice versa in the case where there are more people mining. So regardless of the state of the market, you will always reach an equilibrium point where it will be profitable.

The one asterisk that needs to be added here of course is that with sufficiently low difficulty, a double spend attack becomes more viable, but this is a somewhat overblown threat. It's low reward, extremely high cost, and 'easily' undone if the market so agrees. It shouldn't be ignored, because it is indeed a threat, but at the same it's also kind of a 'meh' threat.

---

edit: And for those who are may not be aware. Even once the final Bitcoin is mined, miners will continue mining - something which may be counter-intuitive. Whoever mines the block will get no coins, but will get all revenue from the fees attached to whichever transactions are processed.
No you massively overestimate the importance of economics or semiconductor industry. Whatever will happen to Taiwan has nothing to do with Chips.

For China it's about nationalism, for US it's about protecting allies/upholding treaties and protecting democracy from the strongest authoritarian regime. Chips are not important. After all chances are high they might be destroyed even in a successful defense of Taiwan.

As a Ukranian American I wish we had and were doing more for Ukraine but it's not about chips or economics. Ukraine had only recently grown closer to the US. The US has promised to defend Taiwan for a long time (well sort of, arguably the US does keep some strategic ambiguity about this which might let it wiggle out)
Digital sculpting.
At the end of the day, you've still identified that particular configuration as a "hat"- a configuration forming a discrete unit. Without it, you have no concept of object permanence and no basis for comprehending any form of logic at all. After all, even within plasma, there are discrete units which are configurations of other discrete units.
Yes but not because of the chips
