> Change also means letting go of creaky processes, outdated business models, and obsolete industries.

I think that it is now generally accepted that the future involves more strife and less (reliable) globalization. Which means that, in rich countries, many "obsolete industries" are suddenly going to be vitally important again.
I think it says something that a VR use case requires a dystopian future.

Controversial opinion: I don't serve ads to my customers - I feel absolutely zero fucking sympathy for site owners when I block ads.

If you don't want me to block ads - pick a different model. Preferably one where I'm a customer, and you're catering to my needs instead of selling me off to the highest bidder.

Second controversial opinion: Ads should be banned entirely, legislatively, because the industry is a breeding ground of misaligned incentives, data abuse, corruption, and generally scummy behavior. Will that remove a lot of free services? Sure - I don't care. I think the net will be a win.

Third controversial opinion - your "controversial opinion" leads to a dystopia where people are forced to view ads everywhere. They are manipulated non stop for the benefit of someone else. I don't just think you're wrong - I think you're malicious.
Carbon is not a sin and that is not the historical reason it is taxed, unlike say alcohol and cigarettes. Many of these other things may have externalities, both positive and negative, but not so clear cut as carbon.

You’re making the error in belief that criminals primarily commit crime out of necessity, rather than out of inculcated behavioral habit. At least in the US, most crimes are committed by people who were brought up from a young age in a culture of criminality. There is no ethical or moral dilemma on the part of the criminal, their behavior is fully in line with the social mores of their cultural upbringing.

The folks running in shoplifting and robbery gangs are not stealing a loaf of bread to feed their starving children, criminality is their profession.

It is a binary question whether their expansion is detectable to us at distances of hundreds or thousands of light years. I actually like something about this idea - arguably any species that can't learn to live in a sustainable and small footprint won't last long; so any civilization that does survive on astronomical scales had to pass through this filter and might therefore be undetectable to us.
Here's BLIS's object API:

https://github.com/flame/blis/blob/master/docs/BLISObjectAPI...

Searching "object" in BLIS's README (https://github.com/flame/blis) to see what they think of it:

"Objects are relatively lightweight structs and passed by address, which helps tame function calling overhead."

"This is API abstracts away properties of vectors and matrices within obj_t structs that can be queried with accessor functions. Many developers and experts prefer this API over the typed API."

In my opinion, this API is a strict improvement over BLAS. I do not think there is any reason to prefer the old BLAS-style API over an improvement like this.

Regarding your own experience, it's great that using BLAS proved to be a valuable learning experience for you. But your argument that the BLAS API is somehow uniquely helpful in terms of learning how to program numerical algorithms efficiently, or that it will help you avoid performance problems, is not true. It is possible to replace the BLAS API with a more modern and intuitive API with the same benefits. To be clear, the benefits here are direct memory management and control of striding and matrix layout, which create opportunities for optimization. There is nothing unique about BLAS in this regard---it's possible to learn these lessons using any of the other listed options if you're paying attention and being systematic.

I think you're conflating "infinite growth" with "unsustainable."

Advertising can be a sustainable business model. Radio, television, billboards, etc. sustain themselves through advertising. We can quibble about their growth rates, but if advertising were unsustainable, then these industries wouldn't exist in their current form.

I think you're actually rejecting the idea that a company can sustain infinite growth through advertising. I think that's a little different from being wholly "unsustainable."

At least in the US, AT&T made the incredibly cynical move to rebrand their 4G service in areas where 5G was expected one day to be available as '5Ge' aka '5G Evolution'. That was so they could 'imply' in ads you were getting a 5G connection before, you know, there was a 5G network to connect to. Even changed the little icon on your phone from 4G to 5Ge.

Sprint sued for the blatant false advertising and AT&T unsurprisingly settled.
My point is that the tech is improving, we can aim for maximum safety and regulations but at the end would it save live or destroy more with the status quo.

There is a cost both ways, we are used to pay the cost of the status quo, it feel easier to push back against progress.

Ah, this confuses everyone: strings in Golang are really just read-only byte slices. They can contain Unicode, but they don't have to, and the == operator just does a byte comparison.
Some people absolutely LOVE their semicolons. As a fan of Python, I don't really get it. But I think you would have to pry the semicolon from some people's cold, dead hands.
Author mentions using xtrace aka `set -x`. If using xtrace I highly recommend doing:

export PS4='+ ${BASH_SOURCE:-}:${FUNCNAME[0]:-}:L${LINENO:-}: '

This will then append the filename, function name, and line number to the command being executed. Can make it much easier to find where exactly something is happening when working with larger bash scripts.

On the contrary, advertising is a business that will always exist and thrive, never decline and always grow unless the population starts declining.

Respecting, not capitulating.

No, if the website and user don't have a common understanding, then both can go separate ways.

When the problem can only be solved with global governance and the "proper morals and intelligence", I think it is worth questioning the premises.

How much more apocalyptic fear mongering do we need to rationalize increased governance? When is enough enough?

Cold war, drug war, war on terror, financial meltdown, pandemic emergency powers, nuclear apocalypse and of course climate doom. All used to rationalize further erosion of personal autonomy.

Is no one else burnt out on the constant doom mongering from our betters? Is it because I lack the proper morals and intelligence that I feel skeptical?
The weird looks I get for even suggesting bringing manufacturing back home so we can have western-made goods, with low-carbon manufacturing regulations just shows that people don't understand how hard we're getting fleeced for our money. Bring these things home, we can regulate, control, and promote cleaner manufacturing practices - or at least control industrial waste output instead of "pipe the waste chemicals into the river beside us, who cares!".

I really find it a big problem that we're putting "the climate" as a higher priority than the people that are living here, right now, suffering because of multiple factors - one of which is governmental mismanagement, along with inflationary monetary policies, the sudden removal of all economic activity with Russia (a whole separate issue).

I have no doubt in my mind that the Liberal MP who voted for exempting home heating from the carbon tax will be conveniently replaced during the next election cycle - given the current Liberal party culture of "follow us in lockstep or you're gone".

I also have no doubt in my mind that because the western world decided to lower domestic production of energy sources like natural gas and oil products that we're going to see a an unexpected amount of people dying from freezing to death in their homes. Canada, USA, or Europe.

Extremely frustrating that the Canadian government continues to insist raising carbon taxes on everybody during one of the most unstable economies, during the aftermath of a pandemic with harsh actions that wouldn't have needed to be so harsh if they didn't have a dilapidated healthcare system propped up by good feelings and government-sponsored marketing campaigns to "thank a nurse!"

I'd rather support someone who takes care of people _now_ instead of fear-mongering us to give up more of our money for "the future" - which we'll never see because we'll already be dead of old age anyways.

It seems so idealistic and faith-driven to me - just an excuse to take more of your money away from you with no meaningful return on your forced "investment".
Actually liked that it lacked a minimap. Got a better sense of scale. After going trough most of the tunnels and getting stuck and kings chamber there, couldn't crawl back, I zomemed out and was shocked by the scale of the tunnels.
The killer app for VR is unfortunately going to be porn, although it seems many stakeholders are unaware of that. E.g. Neither Zuck nor John Carmack seem to have realized this yet.

But it makes sense when you realize that VR is inherently isolating and is hard to use collaboratively/socially. This is a bug for many applications and a feature for porn.
Just want to throw out the usefulness of multiranges in my current domain, which is spectrum regulation/licensing. A few of our processes enabled by multirange support have caught serious exclusivity conflicts (where there are more than one licensee with exclusive rights to a specific span of spectrum within a specific geographic area) with licenses that were not caught by the FCC before they were issued. Additionally useful for swaps (where licensees trade licenses to improve their holdings relative to their existing portfolio)...multiranges allow for easy and error free analysis of potential swap targets that maximize benefit to both parties. And we also use it for spot checks to make sure that we are using spectrum legally according to the special conditions constraints (e.g. not using 600MHz A block within a distance that could cause interference with hospital usage of WMTS equipment). I love range types!
Make sure? Well, aside from keeping sh feature subset in my head, I usually run them like "sh myscript.sh" on target or limited environment (they have #!/bin/sh shebang) for testing. Other people here probable have better suggestions though. )

This is a technical forum, you can just write K.

The degrees Celsius are deliberately the same size as the Kelvin unit, but you don't need (and shouldn't write) degrees for an absolute system.

We're fucked because 1.5K was already a lot, and there's still barely enough political will to avoid 3K. It is going to get bad.
Awkward to hold, slow page turns, bad battery life. A kindle is a million times better for epub reading. For PDF e-reading it's no good either because it's slow, and you can't read charts on a low resolution grayscale display.
Taxes on cigarettes, in the US, at least, are not driven primarily by Christian moralists. I was part of a prominent US non-profit that is behind both higher cigarette taxes and laws that ban smoking in public areas. The motivation is health.

> Ever since the ipod came out people were salivating for the possibility of an iphone.

And yet barely anyone bought the devices which were already on the market which could have filled that niche. Which yes, they existed, almost exclusively listened to music on bluetooth headphones through my phone before the iPhone released. Even streaming internet radio over a 3G connection before the non-3G iPhone was released. The market wasn't wanting a smartphone, they wanted specifically an iPod phone. Because, once again, Apple is great at making the general market want tech that roughly already exists, but just isn't very popular yet.

> Yea adoption of early mp3 players wasn't particularly high because they were not that great

There were good MP3 players on the market before the iPod came out, but they weren't very popular. There was a bit of a lack of ecosystem with them and a massive lack of marketing.

I do agree there's not a large market for VR at the moment, and I agree its entirely possible there won't ever be a large market for it. I'm not saying its a given Apple will make a VR headset, I'm just arguing if they do it, it'll probably make a splash given their track record of releasing decently polished products with a good enough ecosystem to get the market to buy it. I don't think Apple would just dump a half-baked VR headset into the market.
I can't speak for cft, but there are two glaringly obvious reasons. One cultural, and one of a variety that cft is absolutely correct about:

You will be downvoted, flagged, and then dang will arrive to warn you that this specific argument is not permitted on HN because it inevitably leads to unproductive flamewars.

To be fair, dang is completely correct in this observation. It never leads to productive discussion, but it is nonetheless verboten.
Great question. I can’t recall any standards around this topic, and iirc it came down to common practices. I read a couple of texts to build some fundamental knowledge that I could say I had a reference for.

Now I can pass it on to you.

TECHNIQUES OF FLOW-CHARTING
Louis A. Schultheiss

IBM Data Processing Techniques
Flowcharting Techniques

I pulled these down from some searches on UML diagramming some few months ago since I needed to diagram some envelope encryption work for a team with a previous employer.

The UML-generated code thing is prior to my time, but basic flowcharting techniques on their own are a nice to have skill.

You don’t need to memorize endless shapes, but a few common ones like those in the texts above will convey almost everything you’ll care about day-to-day.

In my experience, this isn’t a skill you have to exercise often, but if you can do it without being overly sophisticated, some people may appreciate having a diagram now and again for large systems, or involved processes.

Then you don't use property promotion. It's optional: it only happens if you add a visibility modifier before the parameter name.
This is happening because of how much Exxon pays their other engineers, geologists, etc. and how these employees are caught in between 2 boom and bust industries (energy & tech). They see competitive pay for other job titles and layoffs are common when markets shift but are likely seen as a back-office function to be managed as "overhead" would (low pay, outsourcing, etc)
might as well ask this here: does anyone have any recommendations for minimalist PHP frameworks, in 2022? I have a hand-rolled PHP site that's been getting quite a bit of traffic and it needs quite a bit of internal reworking to make things more performant and such. I'm looking at evaluating Fat-Free Framework as it seems to be more or less what I'm looking for, but I haven't seen any recent opinions anywhere about it (aside from top-ten lists, which is all you can find when you search google for such opinions).

all I need is routing, caching, possibly some light database abstraction, and possibly some light templating stuff (but PHP is a templating language, and that's how I'm currently using it). I don't want MVC or any of that, just the absolute basics.

My last memory from PHP is 8.0 and I would still call it the king of footguns. I stopped coding PHP at 5.X and then after many years came back to 8.0 which everyone said was supposed to be better, and while it was better it was not much better. It is still a language full of footguns and unexpected behavior.
Seem about the same situation and questions as any company right now - high attrition, management indifferent to stopping it, future work practices undecided (or decided to the disdain of the employees), etc.

I'm not the OP but also have a reMarkable 2: the reMarkable 2 doesn't appear to mount as a standard USB external disc on MacOS (Kindles do, however). This makes it hard to manage a library via Calibre or a similar system. The reMarkalbe 2 really, really wants users to sign up for subscription services that manage the device through reMarkable's servers, which adds a bunch of unpleasant and difficult-to-manage steps, relative to the simple strategy of "plug in, send to device" that Calibre enables.

In addition, I often download articles from https://www.instapaper.com/u; the reMarkable 2 often malforms them, in ways other e-readers, including Kindles and iPads, don't.

I infer that reMarkable's scheme and hope is to sell monthly sync software, but this plan works poorly with my e-reader workflow and, I'd guess, others'.

Probably there are ways to get around these limitations (and, reading the thread, I see some people listing rsync and such), but they're so annoying out of the box that I wish I'd not bought mine.
I think you're editorializing it in a way that is making it far more politically neutral or "pox on both your houses" than it actually is. It's not about warring world views. It's just about money.

The simple reality is: almost all wealth on the planet is tied up with fossil fuels.

This being the case, the more wealthy you are, the more "polarized" in a certain direction you will be.

Might makes right. Or at least attempts to make right. And right now, "might" = "money" = "capital" = "energy"

Please stop. The raw materials for any type of nuclear reactor are vastly scarcer than renewables.

Iron flow batteries exist at grid scale for $200/kWh (enough to beat nuclear total system cost where 90% of people live with higher uptime) and dropping.

Copper metallized PV uses a manageable amount of copper and nickel (100s of kgs per MW net) and less silver than the control rods in a fission reactor. The dopants are measured in mg per MW and the rest is fancy sand. Inverters tend to be GaAs, but the amount is minimal and they don't need high performance power electronics to outperform nuclear.

Multi megawatt wind turbines with no copper windings and no permanent magnets exist at commercial scale, and all Aluminum cabling is ready as a dropin replacement as soon as the few dollars per MWh maintenance burden can he justified. Concrete and steel per MW is still significantly higher for wind, but a mix is approaching parity.

> also was clear that fusion is a future solution.

It really isn't. Helion is a moonshot that might work (but requires large amounts of rare metals for exotic superconductors). Anything thermal will be 10s of times more expensive and more materials than fission.
