That’s interesting! It could partly be explained by falling Euro but could also be Apple increasing prices to include the “fine” taxes. Cost of doing business invariably gets passed on to customers.

As the post you directly responded to never said the word never, I'm thinking you where actually responding to the previous comment. In which case: yes, never.

I don't refuse to install apps, I have apps for both my primary banking organisations on my phone, I don't intend to write apps, I don't intend to provide extra fodder for their platforms and claims of their size. Most apps don't need the things that not being a native app means they can not support. NFC there might be uses for, but not that are irreplaceable that I can immediately think of, and you can access things like the phone's camera so other features like NFC might happen in that realm too.
Even when Resolve was only ever those two modules (and back then the edit was pretty basic) I thought it was incredibly good. DaVinci's dedication to publishing free (of charge) software is one of the few things keeping Adobe in check.
DevOps (the term), like Agile, made sense when it was introduced but lost its meaning as the industry evolved.
How much money will make you happy?
>I don't know if they can't do it differently

They can

In fact, there is absolutely no reason to need to divulge "company secrets" during an interview
I personally have become a fan of the Wyoming Rule for the House. That seems fair without getting into crazy sizes.

I mean, if the US had representation in the same proportion as the UK, they'd have roughly 3300 representatives. The town I grew up currently has a population of 1500. So I can see why we wouldn't do that.
- We compared MessagePack as well, that's your typical binary format. It ended up being slower, which is what I've seen before when storing small floats (a typical ML feature). It's in the article with a whole section dedicated to why optimizing serializers won't help.

- I don't think doing one less `memcpy` will make Redis faster over the network.

- We didn't use Pandas during inference, only a Python list. You'd have to get pretty creative to do less work than that.

- That will use less CPU certainly, but I don't think it'll be faster because we still have to wait on a network resource to serve a prediction or on the GIL to deserialize the response.

- Tuning XGBoost is fun, but I don't think that's where the bottleneck is.
Yes Absolutely ;)
As the other comment mentioned, yes, this only contains a very short and not very useful list of the podcast subscriptions which if you have ~50 podcasts you subscribe to is easy to even manually resubscribe to, it doesn't have any of the useful data which isn't as easy to reconstruct.
> Note that your phone also defaults to having its microphone on 24/7

There's a difference between it being on vs having a task that's actively listening for trigger words.

Idk if Google/Apple put some kind of latent thing in their phone OS that's constantly listening for advertising or intelligence purposes. I'm assuming this is what you're talking about, since the microphone permission flag for applications on the phone OS can be easily disabled
Twitter has an "automation rules" [0] page which does indeed affirm that users are allowed to post "automated Tweets based on sources of outside information, such as an RSS feed, weather data, etc". But you're right, "spammy" isn't the right word since on the automation rules page and elsewhere, spam is generally understood by Twitter to be unsolicited interaction.

But the point is moot for now since Ben (AFAIK) hasn't posted any more details about the suspension note. IIRC, the suspension email is supposed to list the alleged violations, and I don't think Ben has tweeted a screenshot of that email. [1]

That's about $71M USD. (1 Crore = 10,000,000 units). Currently, 1 USD = 83 INR

So, 586 crores INR = 5860000000 INR = $71,000,000 USD

EDIT: It seems like some people are saying the correct number is not 586 crores but 5k crores which is 10 times more.
Eh, that's true to an extent, especially in the House and double especially in state government, but don't take John Oliver or Daily Show as completely representative. Watching those shows, you'd probably never know, for example, that Ron DeSantis, who is currently one of the Republican frontrunners for 2024, went to Yale and Harvard Law School.
I think you misunderstood your parent post’s point.
IME, that is quite unusual in Europe.
Nowhere is without inequality. Hierarchies form naturally and cannot be abolished regardless of the system in which they form.
I lived in New Haven for 4 years. The difference in the amount of trash between American cities is vast, compare NYC with Chicago. Or really any city on the east coast with Chicago for that matter.
"same with golden ratio (repeating 1s)"

Mathologer has a good video in which he uses this to justify calling the golden ratio the "most irrational" number because of this expansion: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaasbfdJdJg The video also goes over the details of the pi expansion.
well Apple's an American company and we have one of the few relatively strong currencies in the world. so anything we export is going to get very expensive for y'all very quick. don't be so fast to blame Apple.

Apple's cost of business in europe is also going up from fines and requirements to e.g. migrate charging. so it's not surprising that is passed through to european customers.

also there are plenty of good substitutes and Apple has always been more of a premium brand so i don't think the "financial vulnerability" argument holds water here.
Funny, I thought DevOps was introduced as a way of having the specialists be part of the same team, so that the dev side would keep ops in mind and the ops side would be getting dev help in automating. Creating a separate DevOps team seems like a manager reading an article and implementing without understanding.

The problem in a lot of orgs is having various priesthoods that have their own goals that aren't aligned with other teams/the business. For example:

- hardware purchase

- software purchase

- DBA

- ops/infra

- networking (firewalls esp)

- security

- HR/recruiting

- business analysis

- front end/design/ux/dev

- back end dev

- technical documentation

All of these are roles and they can have specialists, but you probably want them aligned and rewarded for keeping the business running, not serving specific measurement goals like uptime, to the detriment of selling product. These priesthoods often have their own religious virtues that they espouse, like 3rd normal form or low TCO, that they pursue in absence of directions and understanding of their role in the business.

It's easy to see the problem but wicked hard to prevent it or fix it. I have a small organization and it's difficult to get people really on board with a vision.
If I turn that into a single line and that improves performance 40x... I will probably not do engineering for a while after that.
Another unhinged HN comment ripped straight from ZeroHedge. Loss making venture funded startups are a small part of cloud revenues. The overwhelming majority of cloud revenue and gross profit comes from stable and profitable enterprise customers who have a 15 year plan to exit the majority of their on prem footprint, and interest rates have little bearing on these plans.
Conway's Law is sorely overlooked. It really does have broad applicability in the industry, and sometimes you can use it to evaluate vendors better (read: this product is a bit haphazard...the vendor probably is also. Warning.)
Very shortsighted article ignoring a lot of responsibilities developers don't want to assume and want somebody else to be on the hook for costs, secruity, breaches, on-call rotations, SOC-2 compliance - you name it. With freedom comes responsibility!
“Excited” is an interesting word. I still like Return of the Jedi, but I’m not excited about it because it’s old.

The Ruby/Rails community is very mature, the language and the framework are flexible enough for anything, and there are libraries and guides for anything you want to do.

So no, it’s not that exciting now, but it’s still widely used. From my own experience, my company continues to use it for many project because we have tons of our own library code that couldn’t easily be recreated.
I've seen several posts showing that the most minor of underclocks and undervolts produce substantial power savings and minimal performance differences.

Apparently Intel's trying really hard on an old process to get the performance crown, forcing AMD to clock higher than they'd like to compete. It's ridiculous that they double the power for 10% performance. But the nice thing is you can half the power and take the 10% hit.

Also note that the 7900/7900X are dual chiplet design that has a significant power impact. The 7700x and below have a single chiplet and saves power, and also increases single thread perf. If you look at the gaming benchmarks the 7700x is often better than the 7900x, not to mention all the Intel chips except the top of the line i9.

So if you buy the 7700x and underclock just a bit you should have a very efficient desktop.
Happy, perhaps no amount, but for not having money problems anymore for the rest of my life, 3-4 million will do it...
On how many established industries can you wake up tomorrow and start a competing company?
> There were extremists on the site making calls to violence.

Amazon sees fit to sell innumerable books by extremists which call to violence. Particularly, but not only, many famous religious texts and political manifestos.
Installing Arch (or even Gentoo) is worth doing at least once just to learn a bunch about how the parts work together.

Heck, even just reading the installation guide gives you a better understanding of how a Linux machine operates.
>doesn't really answer the question of why it's so bad to conduct interviews the other way

Easy - if you think you have to divulge "company secrets" to do an interview, you're blatantly incompetent

I've been at this a long time - >20y

I never need to divulge "company secrets" (or "customer secrets", given I'm in professional services) to perform an interview on either side of the equation
I really don't want AI bullshit to be a copyright "gray market" affair like MP3 Players and media rips are. That would be a pain in the ass. They already did enough harm to the legal viability of regular sampling, I think I might go slightly insane if they succeeded at banning this.
We're still getting used to how much things have changed in the M1+ era.
Everyone should hate big foreign monopolies.
Dangerous title for this article and I am not sure I like it.

That being said I personally think lack of exercise and desk jobs are having a very big negative effect on mental health in general.

For anyone that has owned a dog - especially a larger high energy dog - what happens when you keep that dog inside all day and do not take it on walks or let it run? What if you then also provided it with all of its favourite food and plenty of fun dog TV shows and games and stimuli but still forced it to sit in a 500 sq ft box all the time? The dog would go nuts - anyone who has owned one knows this - they become an anxious mess. Some of them become self destructive, some of them become neurotic and repeat weird behaviours, and some just sit there and look sad. Are we really all that different than dogs?
Very nice! Will check out your repo, but this requires Pocket Casts Plus, right? (I don't have one, I purchased the Android app a long long time ago, but do not have access to the web player at all AFAIK).
I think the key word is "viable." IIRC the Bazooka was better than nothing but not particularly effective. And your quote's characterization of the Molotov cocktail as a "weapon of last resort" speaks to its ineffectiveness.
Glad someone fixed that. I was picturing some wizened old man with a staff who can kick ass through some combination of experience, zeal, and healthy living :)
Glad you went for it despite our poor documentation cb22! That sounds like a great setup. I think the only defensible way to describe our "Requirements" page is that we wanted to make the safest suggestion for the widest range of users. Obviously it's wildly inaccurate for a wide range use cases, and we should fix that.

Nomad servers could start with 300mhz, 100mb of memory, and eMMC storage and run a RaspberryPI cluster just fine. Our most important resource guidance is all the way over in our Monitoring docs!

> Nomad servers' memory, CPU, disk, and network usage all scales linearly with cluster size and scheduling throughput.

https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/operations/monito...

Any cluster can start with 300mhz and 100mb as long as they monitor usage and scale appropriately.

We're going to try to update our Requirements docs to add this nuance and guidance on how to calculate requirements based on projected load. We recently spent some time improving our heartbeat docs, and I think the approach we took there will serve us well for system requirements: https://developer.hashicorp.com/nomad/docs/configuration/ser...
What lines of business don’t require customers being able to find you?
IIRC, the 386 did not have atomic load/store operations (XADD, CMPXCHG), so it's much harder to write reliable semaphores/mutexes on that platform. I'm surprised OpenBSD supported it for this long.

(edit: it seems they didn't: OpenBSD/i386 hasn't actually supported running on [386sx/386dx] for some time. )
I'm not sure the part about support contracts being healthier is correct. Doesn't selling support incentivise creating a product that's difficult to use or has reliability issues? I don't know if that happens in practice (and it is the model I would choose myself!) but there's definitely room for perverse incentives there too.
> it's only available to people who have none.

It's only available to people who have none across the entire country, plus it lowers the cost at the margin to becoming homeless (albeit only slightly).

> Housing demand is finite.

So is traffic demand. Demand being finite does not mean that induced demand no longer exists as phenomenon.
Slight clarification of that last sentence: neutrinos are "dark" (do not interact with electromagnetism) and "matter" (have mass, take up space), but they are not what we are looking for when we say "dark matter" (the current best explanation for why galaxies move as they do).

In particular, they are weakly-interacting massive particles, but they aren't the Weakly-Interacting Massive Particles (WIMPS) we're looking for. WIMPs have to be slow-moving, or they'd escape the galaxy, and there's no apparent way to make slow-moving neutrinos (almost no mass means very high speed), and we haven't observed any.

It's still not absolutely impossible, but it's very unlikely. Dark matter is more likely to be something else -- though we're still unclear on what, and the most likely theories are looking somewhat less likely recently.
Flatpack already existing, and snap makes programs take 30x as long to run.
Yeah, that's what I wanted it for. I trail run 80+% of the time, and use my clock + google maps to figure out my avg min/mile on road workouts. In general, though, these fitness devices are onerous privacy invading devices. If I get one, I'd never wear it anytime other than when actively running.
I was intrigued by the prospect of a foss voip phone app that's cross platform - but was unable to find the repo. for the app (libary repos are available and obvious, just not the app as a whole). Anyone know where it lives?
> "A beg coin"? you need a better brand.

on the contrary - intentional or not, this name perfectly sums up the kleptobro mentality. A bimodal world split between the Early Adopters who hold all the wealth, and the remaining 99% of humanity having to beg for crumbs and favors and discounts.
Because those aren't distributions... those are independent operating systems that aren't related to Linux in any way.
> how many avoidable deaths by fire are you willing to sign off on with this justification?

Up to, but not including, the number of avoidable deaths by exposure that are already occurring.
Yeah, lxd was the first one I noticed (with the implication that it's not likely to work on eg Debian - but rather be canonical-only thing).

I see juju is recommended to be installed via snap, and landscape is recommended to install via juju:

Wonderful! So happy you're excited about this. There are so many great things coming with OCaml 5!
Why?

I read the website as well as the terms of the challenge and that question is not answered by either.
My last Kubuntu update (to 22.04) broke because, I think, I'd disabled snaps and the update required snap installs (including Firefox). The update had a "install snap version of Firefox" stage with the only option being OK/Yes ... so install broke. They were so up themselves that they removed the option to cancel snap install despite it not being for essential elements of the OS; I had to kill them installer.

My first brush with fat-packages was Digikam stopping producing .deb packages, it put in so much overhead I couldn't run it on my (admittedly weak) system. The forced use of Firefox snap lost configuration, then failed to work properly (permission problems) ... it's like how the use of file managers via sudo was stopped, seemingly without a proper plan to replace it; make the new tech first, then implement it when it works! It's like going back to Windows, having fragmented app sources and forced updates that wreck everything.

I'm not sure where to move to next, I came to Ubuntu years ago because I no longer wanted to do the config work necessary to run Slackware. Looks like Mint/Arch/Debian are contenders.
>Since I don't particularly crave going out and telling the world about proprietary information I might learn from an interview anyway, an NDA is no skin off my back

That's functionally akin to the aphorism "if you've done nothing wrong, you've nothing to hide"

I'd put real money down that you don't want everything you've ever done (or will ever do) made public

Yet you can manage to have depthy conversations with others without making your experiences totally public, right?
I don't understand how any of the libraries you mentioned would cause dependency issues unless you're referencing them in a weird way.

Nuget packages are usually compiled and self contained with their dependencies.

It can be both. I'd like to see numbers, though. Used to be mental health and drug abuse were by far the dominant cause of rough homelessness. Did the pandemic change that? The homeless population has exploded in many cities in the last couple years. All from crime and drugs?

I could believe that the non-rough sleeping homeless (couch surfers, as it were) are much more likely to be people who cannot afford a place to live.

Also, politically conservative areas still have homeless problems of their own, so it might be premature to declare it a left leaning policy problem.

eh Fedora requires many additional steps to get hardware accelerated video decoding or proprietary drivers working.

With Ubuntu it's all out of the box.

A 2-liter bottle of soda seems to be literally and figuratively a consumable. (Similar to an Amazon Basics alkaline battery, which is a product I frequently buy.)

I'm sure the supermarket looks over their sales data to understand which products might be compelling for their shoppers and where the store could introduce a store-branded product with a compelling positioning. I support them doing that as well.
> Amazon has been known to go to their competitor's factories and produce identical products with their brand

Counterpoint: if your whole business model is just doing contract manufacturing with Chinese manufacturers and make your money exclusively from Amazon, it wasn't a very good business plan to begin with.

If you go to Amazon right now and search "Everyday Sling" you get dozens of white label knockoffs. It's hard to feel that Amazon is targeting products when they have already been genericized by manufacturers.
> Can we know for sure that they "didn't actually carefully review anything"?

We can't, but that's part of the propaganda game.

> ...maybe there's a process in which a report listing the suspicious signals is glanced at by a human auditor.

> I'm talking like seconds of review, e.g. the report says "In 5 minute span, account tweeted from a known U.S. AWS server and a Europe AWS server, etc. etc. Confirm suspension", and the human clicks "Confirm" and moves on to the next hundred reports to "review"

That's actually a good example of not being careful.
And it is important to remember the AMD IOD is still on N6 or similar to current Intel 7 2nd gen. ( i.e On I/O level AMD and Intel are on the same Node ) Even if Intel was on Intel 5 or TSMC N5 equivalent it still likely wouldn't be using similar power as AMD.

So I am actually surprised at how well AMD Zen 4 is doing. It used to be if you want MT you go with AMD, at the expense of ST. Now this is no longer the case.

If you care about energy efficiency, just buy AMD Zen 4.
