> so nobody is seriously working on consumer-targeted ARM.

Consumer targeted arm chips power most phones and tablets. Many of them are more than a handful for i5 and i3 class Intel chips and draw a lot less power. When you are talking about a $599 price point, you aren't talking about top-shelf Intel, anyway.

> But there is some sense to trying to lay the groundwork for future ARM SoCs running Windows

Now that ARM has grown up to be a viable alternative to Intel, this makes a ton of sense.
I wonder if it would be possible to have a kind of logging function which would work similarly as the --ftrace?
That would reduce significantly the no-trace cpu cost.
> And Google clearly has no interest in innovation beyond copying Apple.

I disagree, I think both platforms have copied plenty from one another. I used to jailbreak my iOS devices to get similar functionality to Android. Hasn't been necessary for awhile, I feel like the platforms are near parity now, but claiming one is copying the other (with no reciprocity) seems farfetched.

I did a similar thing. I set XDG_CONFIG_DIR=~/ (normally ~/.config/). It works surprisingly well, though I encountered some edge cases that eventually made me give up. Also some programs don't know about XDG_CONFIG_DIR and just hardcode ~/.config/, but you can symlink ~/.config/ -> ~/.
But this statement only applies to a 'naive' (or first) statistical analysis or test on the dataset. Once the researcher starts changing their assumptions in response to the results they're seeing, they're p-hacking and p-values are no longer meaningful. In addition, once you have multiple researchers looking at the same dataset with different assumptions, and you factor in publication bias, the p-value also loses meaning.

Ask HN: What is life like at a UARC?
I have a PhD and was offered a position as a researcher at a UARC in the United States. UARCs are university affiliated research centers setup by the US DoD to act as a liaison between DoD and academia. However, after interviewing and speaking with a few employees of a competing UARC, these places seem like research dead-ends mostly acting like a glorified defense contractor.

I would like to do research and publish. HR tells me this is a great place to do these thing but when I check IEEE and Google scholar, i cant find any publications of authors from this institution. Plus, the interviews made it seem like the work is mostly doing data analysis or writing software. Nothing there lead me to believe I would be doing research day in and day out.

Does anyone on HN work for a UARC? Do you like it? How much research do you do?
A p-value is strictly _a_ probability.
Yeah, I've been on beta blockers for a heart defect for several years now. I read this paper about a year after going on them and just started exploring trauma on my own (stuff that made me weep or even pull face muscles in grief) the post sleep memory reconsolidation is basically a miracle and my emotional trauma responses were basically wrapped up within ~ 1 year. There is now nothing so awful I cannot touch, hold and examine it. I no longer even have nightmares of any kind. I don't have intrusive thoughts from past events during the day (none to speak of) and no rumination either, it's like speed running stoicism.

I find that pretty rich considering you provided literally no evidence of your claims, where I provided at least one detailed analysis of both epoll and kqueue in addition to the article for this thread, and yet you somehow feel entitled to make personal attacks on my technical abilities. But sure, you do you. Best of luck with that.
How can #1 be a choose-able option if there are genderfluid people?

Unless you allow an indefinite (and large?) number of genders, to include at least each of the option at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Non-binary_gender as a hard-wired gender?

Which leads to the question: How many genders are in your 3-option model?

I'm impressed with the elegance of this method to get a single nice number to determine how evenly spaced things are in the whole:

> We chose our statistic based on principles. Since all fragments sum to the length of the genome, if the longest fragment is equal to the inverse of the number of fragments, it implies the sites are perfectly evenly spaced. Conversely, if the longest fragment is nearly the entire length of the genome, it implies the restriction sites are concentrated in a tiny region of the genome.
GP is probably one of the "small phone people" to hazard a guess.
Not disclosing a conflict of interest is unethical.
I never implied it was bad advice. I agree wholeheartedly. It seems like 4d chess to me.

An additional problem for monarch butterflies is a pair of introduced species, both swallow-worts. These are in the milkweed family, and they induce the butterflies to lay eggs on them, but the caterpillars die after only a few days.

I guess my skepticism of this is a bit unpopular - but the way they measured intrusive thoughts is whether or not the people mentioned the traumatic film they saw in a journal for a week.

It seems plausible to that thinking (even if involuntary) about any other traumatic memory may result in short term stress but in the long run help you process it and be healthy? Like in my own experience thinking about something a lot on my own is part of therapy - since I really think about how I explain the situation and what really happened - so I guess I'm skeptical that not thinking of something is actually good for mental health in the long run even if in the short run it works.

> The OSM datamodel still revolves around a single datafile containing all data.

You could make an argument that this is not true: at an implementation level, the more fundamental OSM data model is a really big PostGIS database, which has the appropriate indexes to let you query whatever subsets you want.

The big flat-file XML/PBF dumps are just one way that this data is exposed. You can also query the API for objects within a bounding box (and thereby benefit from the DB indexes), or you can use the daily/hourly/minutely incremental diffs to run your own database replica.

If Windows is going to change their user interface every other year, why would I relearn their UX-du-jour when I can just re-learn once on a Mac and be good for a few years (if not longer)?

If I use hosted Gmail and my UI changes every other month, it just tells me that I should host elsewhere where the UX is more stable.

If you abuse users long enough with this everchanging, constant-beta UI nonsense, you are just telling them to move on to a platform that isn't so unstable, where you only have to learn the UX once, not every X months.
Utility Vs Strategic Dichotomy [2010]
I kind of wonder the same. Try in in December and see what happens :)
Well, yes and no. We can see that during his administration the deficit was already increasing quite a bit in relative terms even before the pandemic.

> When Trump took office in January 2017, the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office was projecting that federal budget deficits would be 2% to 3% of our gross domestic product during Trump’s term. Instead, the deficit reached nearly 4% of gross domestic product in 2018 and 4.6% in 2019.

> There were multiple culprits. Trump’s tax cuts, especially the sharp reduction in the corporate tax rate to 21% from 35%, took a big bite out of federal revenue. The CBO estimated in 2018 that the tax cut would increase deficits by about $1.9 trillion over 11 years.

COVID-19 certainly didn't help, and you are correct that stimulus was largely bipartisan, but in common discussion "blame" for spending is usually assigned to the president and their administration. This can be observed by current members of Congress (Republicans) who have been quick to suggest that Biden has created a huge deficit, inflation, etc. while it's not only untrue but was largely due to actions from the previous administration or Congress before he was president. (In other words for every representative complaining about inflation they should be posting that they were the ones who actually voted for it).

If we were being truthful we wouldn't do this, but if we're going to continue to suggest that the deficit is (whatever insane things people are making up right now to blame Biden on) then it would make no sense to not instead blame any financial problems on the previous administration and keep assigning blame to the President.

W.r.t COVID-19 you can just say the Trump administration did a terrible job and mishandled allocations of money and that's why the deficit increased so much. I personally don't wholly subscribe to that but if Republicans are going to blame inflation on Biden it makes sense to turn around and blame it all on Trump/Republicans instead.
In a practical sense what it really means is "non-RDBMS." Even more specifically what it means is "any of the database technologies that were created or popularized in the period following RDBMS dominance in order to circumvent the performance limitations RDBMS technologies encountered at internet scale."

SQL just, unfortunately, was treated somewhat synonymously with RDBMS.
Society's job is to keep functioning. Part of that is eliminating risks. Men are risky to society because they generally are aggressive and are often willing to go through with their aggressive ideas. That is why you see the feminizing of men. Talking about your feelings, etc. This doesn't work for men. Action works for men. They have eliminated most sources of action.

Society has not failed men, society has succeeded. If you want to be a man who channels your aggression, you need to strike out on your own or build an army of followers. There are still outlets for manly activities, they are just different.
That's not very convincing. Before the introduction of the potato, there were no below-ground alternatives that were superior to cereals in Europe and Northern Africa.

Those roots tend to be attached to green stuff that's above ground and very visible. Why should that be any less legible to tax collectors than wheat or rice?

In their defense, it would be difficult to keep security updates fully separate from feature updates since sometimes replacing a vulnerable feature with a new feature is the easiest fix rather than pushing the new feature, but also issuing a separate fix for those that don't want the new feature.

In other words, it's only reasonable to expect security updates for a certain length of time and not indefinitely.

I am interested in the nonblocking and parallelism of modern server architectures.

I am curious what server architecture leads to the best performance. There was an interesting post the last few days about epoll being broken due to thundering herd.

My understanding is Apache is a forking web server whereas Nginx is an epoll event looped.

I wrote an epoll echo server that multiplexes multiple connections to threads and uses a multiconsumer multiproducer RingBuffer to send sockets to different threads.

https://GitHub.com/samsquire/epoll-server

My plan is to also parallelise send() and recv() on different threads for sending and receiving in parallel with different threads.

I am yet to use NIO in Java but I've heard Netty is high performance.

I would like to use io_uring for maximum performance.

One of my hobbies is trying to build a multithreaded architecture that can support full parallelism and scale with hardware.

Nodejs and python rely on process based parallelism but C, Rust, Java and C# can provide real parallelism. I work on various multithreaded problems on my GitHub.

I am yet to add network support to the algorithms in this repository.

My DE team has all of these, and I've never worked on a team without them. I speak as someone whose official title has been Data Engineer since 2015 and I've consulted for lots of F500 companies.

Unit testing is the only thing we tend to skip, mainly because it's more reliable to allow for fluidity in the data that's being ingested. Which is really easy now that so many databases can support automatic schema detection. External APIs can change without notice, so it's better to just design for that, then use the time you would spend on unit tests to build alerts around automated data validation.
And iOS 15.7 seems to be already abandoned.
I think of Excel as great at prototyping stuff. At some point it is better to move your project to a more formal system and leave the warts and limitations of Excel behind. if your project is data heavy this will be a relational database. if your project is logic heavy this will be a programing language.

> Most notably, however, the medieval pig was not naked and pink at all, but covered in long dark hairs. In appearance, it was therefore not dissimilar to a boar with which it was often cross-bred. Even in the seventeenth century - long after the middle ages - domestic pigs retained some of these traits, as the drawing below from 1610 shows.

This seems uncomfortably close to perpetuating falsehoods about modern pigs, which are not uniformly "naked and pink" but in fact often are covered in hair and come in many colors. And I'm not talking about cross-bred boars. I'm talking about pigs. I've seen pitch black pigs with more hair than a bear. Hairy pigs spotted like dalmatians. Pigs with hair as red as a ginger's. Pigs that are mostly pink with black splotches, or mostly black with pink splotches.

As for pigs being fast, pig racing is a sport today. Some pigs today are athletic with long legs and move very fast. The fat and lazy ones are probably that way due to their lifestyle as much as their genetics.

Memtest is awesome, I've used it for decades and run it on every new machine I get. It's great at detecting memory, bus, and CPU problems.

We had a Dell R640 rackmount that arrived and part of our burn-in testing is running memtest, which said one of the modules had a problem. I contacted Dell support and they had me run the Dell built in memory test, which IIRC took something less than an hour. Memtest was taking around a day to generate this error. Dell support didn't want to replace it because their built in test wasn't showing anything.

This was maybe the 5th or 6th same model server we had gotten and all of them were clean, so I really didn't want to put this into production. Could have been a memory problem, could have been CPU or motherboard issue...

Went back and forth a few times, and finally contacted our sales person asking them what our return window was for the server. They reached out to support, who contacted us and said "Fine, we'll send you a replacement, but only this one time!" Usually I've gotten really good support from Dell Pro Support, but this time I was pretty disappointed.
One video game pig I really enjoy is the giant hog enemies in Bloodborne, the first you encounter being in a sewer of Central Yharnam. Imagine my surprise when I found out that this pig was actually based on an urban legend from the era of feral hogs in the sewers of London (victorian era London being the model for Yharnam in the game). It's these kinds of details in From Software games that really make me appreciate the lengths they go to and the effort involved in creating the worlds for their games.

It eliminates the times you uncontrollably think about a past event - note that voluntary recall isn't affected. So it's saying that this lets you process the trauma in a controlled environment when you're in a position to deal with it, but otherwise resume a life that isn't interrupted or dominated by it.

I have become sensitive to EMFs from electrical devices these last years.

Because it is a biophysics subject, the amount of variables is very high in order to detect the impact of radiation on nervous system easily, food, amount of sleep, stress, psychological state, overall health, environmental toxins, amount of radiation all enter into the equation which makes it almost impossible to pinpoint the EMFs. But still, for me, (one data point) I can clearly see that when I am not around EMF radiation anymore my overall state is better.
It's financial. Land gets cheaper the further away you go but the resources (like people) get more expensive the further away you go, so it's a balancing act. Some will be in the build up parts, and some will be in the remote regions. Take a look at Sweden, there's expensive DCs in Stockholm, but there are also remote DCs way up north in Luleå.

I think another considerable difference is that Windows global footprint is 10x that of MacOS, so Microsoft has to keep both backwards compatibility and OEM's production plans in mind.

There is nothing for people to believe or not believe. MS cannot cannot discontinue x86 overnight because their OS is used by a much larger proportion of the world.
