To be fair, despite all these efforts, the manufacturing sector has consistently underperformed the rest of the economy. The share of manufacturing as a % of GDP has been trending down for quite a while. Outside of the headline grabbing numbers (such as the iPhone factory), the reality is different.

So was the right thing to engage in wars in Asia and colonize 2/3 of the world?

You've no idea of what these actions have done long term for the countries. Those things are pretty relevant since India form example gained his independence around 70 years ago, not 4 century

And clearly you never read any history book
I'm not an analytic number theorist, but my understanding is that the proof requires some values to be 0.5 + some positive epsilon to be correct, and for the sake of clarity, these somewhat arbitrary constants are chosen to get to the result.
The initial version was. Linus however handed over the maintainer role very early on after the initial release and hasn't had much to with the active development of git for years.
Wouldn't reallocating the map be very cheap when running in a JVM? Yes, it isn't something to do in the hot path, but surely it should be faster than a direct malloc(), right? I'm being very naive and ready to be proven wrong.
I have replaced my SE's battery three times, and the screen/front sensors once. The battery is at 100% health as of my latest replacement a couple of weeks ago.

Signal is still my slowest messaging app. It's not some subjective complaint about jank: compared to Telegram and Messages, Signal is much slower to load and share.

I work for one of these services companies in the UK. They put huge investment in having their own training centres and universities and most of the recruits have already attended at least on university. You have to realise that the business is about selling time, not producing working or quality software. The more people you can bill, and the more skills on your CV the better. Once a large enterprise has pushed all their business into outsourcing, they can only go with it and try to make the best of it. Most businesses seem to have done this now, justifying some massive bonuses for their board staff and shareholder gains, due to the perceived "cost savings" going through a professional services business.
I mean I got as far as things like the square root symbol and power-of, I've scanned the comment section and links and there's still little to nothing I understand, lol. Something with prime numbers.
It might depend on the field, but in Math/CS at a number of good unis, the standard path is a 4-year integrated MSc (you get a BSc after 3), then apply to PhD.

It is possible to do the MSc over 5-6 years and spend some time working, whether in parallel with studies as a teaching assistant, or taking a term/year out to get some industry experience. But in terms of credits gained, an MSc is 4 years net of studies.
And then there is the hard part of moving up the GDP per capita. What do you think it would take to go from India current level of $2,277 to China level of $12,556 to a Singapore level of $72,794 (US is $69,287)?
Almost as if people here want to be impersonated with opposing political views to them on Twitter.
There are two levels of ARM licensee:

* IP licensee - this is what most people are. You are allowed to "photocopy" the design of a CPU core and attached bits into your chip

* Architecture licensee - in this case you are licensing the underlying concept of the ARM instruction set (the software's interface to the processor). This means you are allowed to design new cores that use the ARM instruction set (usually based on existing ARM work)

I don't doubt that Apple has a special commercial relationship, and they do seem to be able to go further with the architecture licence than others, but most of what they do is just normal architecture licensee stuff.

Following mass Twitter Japan firings, some call for legal action
This project is like magic, though really hard to install on it's own. Hence the approach that is advised is to run it on a Rasberry Pi (something like a physical docker container). This project duct-tapes so many cool technologies together that the whole setup become quite brittle: you need the exact versions of all dependencies + patches + wiring/configs and only then it works.

It's very complete: the "language" (Ruby with some libs), IDE, sound generation... It truly comes with batteries included.

I tried to put this project in a docker container (before snap and flatpak were all the rage; I've a bit of experience with snap and sure it did cause rage): that is a docker container that should be able to draw an X11 window in the host OSes X11 server. This to allow the project to be run with all its dependencies included. Sadly I failed.
Its by design, you are meant to pass on the genes and die. Thats how nature works.

Thats the best mechanism nature have to make sure we are evolving - more precisely mixing genes.

What people forget is that our enemies are constantly evolving and trying to kill us, bacteria, viruses, fungi etc. Passing on you dna and eventually dying frees up resources for your offspring to do the same, creating new combination of genes increasing odds of more optimal defense for current threats.

If lions didn't age. They would compete for same patch of land and given all are at the peak of their development roughly 50% of old genes would win resources. Slowing down gene mixing and genetic diversity.

Actually speaking of big cats. Look up cheetah and what happens when you don't mix genes often enough (for natural or unnatural reason)

"Cheetahs retain only 0.1–4% of overall genetic variation seen in most living species, much lower than other well-known examples of genetic impoverishment including"
I used the Marriott app inside the US and what I found is that you have to specifically select the price to include everything. By default it is the rate without all other required items (e.g. tax). Maybe this is the difference?

Rather than saying they aren't good at math a better way of putting it would be they are using a different objective function for their decisionmaking from you.

The marginal utility decrease from buying a ticket is close to zero for many/most people whereas the marginal utility increase from winning $2bn is essentially infinite. So the motivation for buying tickets is pretty clear in mathematical terms as long as you optimize expected marginal utility rather than expected value.
As an early ARM funder (via Apple Newton) dont they have a special architecture license into perpetuity that allows them to do the M1 and basically whatever they feel like ???.
Airbnb is addressing two complaints: Hidden fees and chores
Since you're here, I wanted to ask if you've looked into military decision making. This may be anecdotal, but one can often see officers making split second choices with far reaching consequences without too much deliberation. Not sure if that's something that's specifically trained for or just a result of the uh, working conditions.
In the picture of the buffet line, the woman reach for bacon appears to be of Asian descent, and a man at the back left appears to have dark skin. In the broader shot at the end of the story, a man sitting near the camera--blue shirt, broad in the back--has dark skin. So I don't think that the club can be enforcing a rule of exclusion. I would expect a club started by equestrian businessmen to reflect the better off chunk of the population.
One of the most mind blowing things from my studies of Alexander and his crew was what happened to the people left behind in Bactria, the Indo-Greek kingdom, and Greco-Buddhism. The influence on that region was very interesting and unexpected!

Twitter bot that turns complicated tweets in plain English
This is only in US; in most other countries situation will be different.
I see no evidence that people on Twitter know less about how Twitter works than people on HN (many of whom can't even read a thread on Twitter, as they will vocally complain about it being incomprehensible to them) given that changing one's display name on Twitter has been common for years, and that we're talking about a viral meme, which implies people being in on the joke.

>And that responsibility falls to a large part on Twitter as there are many obvious ways they could improve the situation.

Sure, they could improve the situation by having verification work as intended, instead of breaking it in favor of an awkward and shameless ploy to monetize it. But that's orthogonal to the question of whether or not these mock verified accounts are fooling a lot of people, and I don't think they are.
Isn't this why a qa environment is for?
Are people still hung up on 'new' vs 'old' reddit? I mean if they got rid of the popups and nagging to install the mobile app, new would be fine.

Mind you, 99% of my reddit usage is through the Apollo app; it's probably only a matter of time before they nerf that one though.
This doesn’t account for growing literacy and numeracy in the developing world, we might be nearing peak population but we are still ages away from a globally educated population with both the resources and education to start contributing to academia/research.
I quite like this sort of style, just as a change of pace from the normally pretty dry style that we're used to on these topics. Sometimes it helps strip away the layers of complexity and point out the fundamental oddities in play.

The master of this style as far as I'm concerned is Matt Levine and his "Money Stuff" column for Bloomberg. He goes back to first principles on complex matters in the finance sector, and explains it all humorously.

Everything live coding related is worth taking a look:
https://github.com/toplap/awesome-livecoding

Live coding is how I learned to program and I am so glad that this type of computer music performance exists. I am currently doing my PhD on the topic! Programming as a performative act, with its own culture and music sub-genres. For those interested in helping / taking a look, I am currently trying to hack my own live coding environment based on Python asyncio mechanisms: https://github.com/Bubobubobubobubo/sardine I am a bit shy about it because I am light years behind the level of the projects that are posted on HN and that keep me inspired. I've taught myself how to do this basically by live coding ... a lot, with friends in France! Learning a bit of CS because of music.

EDIT: Sonic Pi is the environment that I used to learn the basics of programming!

That's why we have babies at all instead of just budding new copies of ourselves. Compressing everything down to gametes is a powerful form of error correction because it reduces degrees of freedom so heavily.
I’ve been impressed by DOSBox-X lately, which works slightly better if you find yourself wanting a more faithful DOS and Windows environment. It’s also got more menus for common tasks than raw DOSBox.

Glad you mentioned fragmentation, I couldn't think of the word for it and decided it best not start describing it, or you start getting into things like whether or not the distro-specific package manager is truly the best way of handling things (not saying its not), which in many eyes is heresy to even bring up.

Cohesion is without a doubt better on MacOS, though again linux is getting closer. A small thing I wish I didn't notice as much as I did is the "top bar" on not-so-well built electron apps. Apps like VSCode and Electron handle this really well, but others don't (Simplenote is the only one that comes to mind). On Windows, this results in a really very striking white top bar, fine if you use a light theme, not so much for dark theme. On linux, or at least gnome, the top bar (whilst being a bit too big for my liking) much more seamlessly integrates with the rest of the OS.

No. Let it die and stand over the grave to make sure it stays dead. Even 20 years ago there were better alternatives; Debian sensibly defaulted to Exim.

It's always been a horrendously difficult to configure monolith.

On my phone, that new tab necessitates a tab bar that takes up more than 10% of the screen estate. I immediately disabled stories for that reason alone.
Some strange things allegedly happened in Japan. The trending topics allegedly were strongly curated, but now they aren't anymore. So basically trends went back to topics that people really liked (of course it was anime...). Not fluent in Japanese, so I heard it from others. Wonder if there is a similar strong curation going on elsewhere.

Most users seem to like the change and Twitter is pretty big in Japan.
I am using some of the concepts that were described by Andrew Sorensen such as temporal recursion in my own project. Such a cool concept. Extempore is very interesting, especially all the low-level bits that are a bit hard to grasp without a solid background in engineering.

By 1966 George Harrison had been in a group (with various names) with Lennon and McCartney for 8 years, their songwriting partnership had been actively writing songs for 5 or 6 years, they had written almost all the songs for 6 or 7 albums, several of which are regarded as among the best albums of all time.
Thanks @Starcruch! That's pretty cool yourself. I don't think I'm in the market for doing much with my iNaturalist data - I'm content for it to just passively be part of the larger picture, though one day I suspect I will collate it all into some kind of PDF/ebook. I wish I had more time for it to be honest.
It's not an excuse, and I am looking internationally (i.e. this is a project not in the US). Just explaining why the kind of solution proposed (ask McDonalds or someone similar how they build a small building reasonably quickly) is not going to help work out how to build major infrastructure quicker or cheaper!
I agree with the whisper net comment. You learn about who's good and bad pretty quickly once you get into a department, but everyone is hush-hush otherwise. We need a glassdoor for academia.
This approach reminds what the geometric algebra folks are trying to do.
The people that LARP-ed as the resistance need a new enemy. Even today's elections are billed as threatening democracy if the plebs have the audacity to vote for the wrong people.

I don't think this is opinion that should be taken seriously - just tribal signaling.

And Elon Must is something even worse than a heretic - he is apostate. So he is obviously the worst/best person in the world for people that have no better things to do than to be passionate about the culture war that is going on.

> I'm not even talking about PhD in other subfields like Physics, where people become Google's SWE after finishing their PhD. Such a waste.

There are senior high - paying FAANG roles outside webdev where quantitative skills like the ones acquired in subjects like Math/Physics/Theor. CS are imperative, in which you can get straight into after graduation without even having to go through the absurd LeetCode hiring process (it's significantly easier if your advisor recommends you to an old friend on the industry).

> Do you want to become a professor? Forget about. There are so many bright PhDs competing for a few academic openings. Even if you become a professor, it will take 10 years and a lot of work to get tenure. And if you finally become a professor, the pay is terrible compared to the industry.

This is very accurate, especially in the US where tenure seems to be largely reserved for people that come from financially strong families who effectively support them from undergrad to tenure track.
The "Chrome/Web vs Mastodon/Fediverse" isn't event correct, it should be "Chrome/Web vs Tusky/(Mastodon|Fediverse)", or "Twitter/Web vs Mastodon/Fediverse"?. Those things operate on a different level, they can't really be compared because they serve a different purpose.

Twitter users aren't joining the Fediverse, they're joining Mastodon. They rightly don't care about the Fediverse, they're just looking for a Twitter alternative, that's what Mastodon is. The Fediverse isn't tangible like Mastodon is. For the majority of users, that's an implementation detail.
Yes, these two processes must be synchronized: reducing use of fossil fuels but at the same time, increasing use of "clear" energy (including nuclear) to not to outsource it to Russia.

We're not disagreeing. These are (university) hospitals and corporations. I've seen numbers indicating that 70% to 80% of blood donations in Germany are done via the German Red Cross. The Red Cross does not pay money for blood donations.

Pre-COVID the German Red Cross often would have a buffet lunch typically consisting of sandwiches and fruit for donors. Since then they seem to have moved to prepackaged lunches and branded giveaways. But never cash money.
That doesn’t work for stateful apps though, which is what I was thinking more of.
It's lovely to live in, but it was a lot of hard, hard work. I have a sort of traumatic amnesia about it and don't have strong recollections of doing some of the work.

I joke that we outsourced it to a pair of gullible young people who did all the hard work so us older people can enjoy living in it. :-)
I am a physicist. The gravitational energy loss from planet + satellite scale orbiting bodies is so small as to be orders of magnitude less than, say, the influence of gravitational anomalies like the Himalayas, or the tidal pull of the Moon.

Oct 2019 I flew to Mumbai and was a bit scared because of smog, only to find a huge and vivid city where everything ran on gas, as it seemed. No smog! How great. 2 weeks later my returning flight home was from Delhi and we haven't even landed in Delhi my eyes started to burn... I hope you guys over there will find a solution for this.

macOS very clearly is not designed to be long-term, legacy software, sitting on a machine for a decade like old servers did. That's just not the model they have. It’s not what they’re offering. I don't know why you'd attempt it therefore.
These apps can work with Waydroid, unless they have special protection against rooting your phone. In such case, you're out of luck and should ask your government for an action...
Well, these outcomes are not only driven by money or incentives to lock in users. A dysfunctional organization in the services group would also lead to the outcomes we see.

I mean, look at Google. Constantly launching and abandoning chat apps is not in their or their user's interest. But their organization is such that launching new features is better for your career than polishing what exists.

Looking more broadly at Apple, it suffers from the same issues. We often get a bunch of new features, but they are never really polished like they used to (like we now have a bunch of half-working ways to manage windows).

Not to pull the Steve Jobs card, but I think when he was annoyed by a lack of polish he'd force teams so work on that rather than chasing features.
Also, I believe Apple is not using any ARM cores of any kind. Their CPU cores follow the ARM ISA but are designed in-house, the GPU used to be by Imagination but is now in-house (with some clear heritage) and the multitude of codecs, vector, DSP, etc. cores may also not be ARM designs but I have no idea.

PA Semi really had a lot of tallent and Apple benefitted immensely from that acquisition.
The discovery of these pentomino tilings is an interesting achievement and evidence of an exceptional mind, but it's very far from a major advance in mathematics.
