I also go by passmark single thread generally, and 1741 to 4061 is definitely a blowout.

It'd be sooo much more responsive.

I went from an i7-8700k to an i9-12900k recently (2751 to 4210), and I was surprised how much better it is, even staying with DDR4 to save a bit of cash. Well, a lot of cash (64Gb).

I was expecting better, but it's even better than I expected. 2600k to 12700k would be a massive difference. Of course the latest and greatest 13900k is better but it's only 15% better ST than the 12900k. I do like the better power efficiency though. But at the moment, at least here in Australia, it's more expensive than the performance increase over the 12900k.

It's really nice to have instant switching between windows and tabs, and smooth scrolling everywhere. I'm more fussy than most about that kind of stuff though. Probably more fussy than you if you're still ok with a 2600k.

I also stuck with Windows 7 for way too long but eventually I got forced off because of some software that wouldn't work anymore.

If you're like me, I would investigate the LTSC releases of Windows 10. I did an in-place upgrade to an older LTSC, and then upgraded to the latest so I didn't have to do a full reinstall.

I think you would want Windows 11 if you did get a 13th-gen CPU with the improved thread scheduling though.
Look at seastar.io which is an async concurrency library for C++. It is painful in that it resembles node.js but it is very performant. I'd be interested in seeing a version adapted to use C++20 coroutines.
Fencer Matthias Behr takes in relatives of the opponent he stabbed (2022)
This tragic accident in 1982 changed the sport of fencing forever. As a fencer, all of our equipment today has been changed by the accident. This is why I have been so familiar with the accident long before. Today I was overwhelmed with emotion when I read this learning that a story like this happened, 40 years later.
In Pursuit of the Traveling Salesman: Mathematics at the Limits of Computation

ISBN-13: 978-0691152707, ISBN-10: 0691152705

Isn't that literally Mastodon? If you don't think mastodon's tech will scale or you don't like how the protocol is developed, that's one thing. But I don't understand saying that you're anti-decentralization, and then proposing decentralization as the alternative.
Integrated Gasfication Combined Cycle
I know it’s a lot to ask of the general populace, but self-reflection is key here. I’m smart and confident. But I know that I would be a terrible person to give a $465m loan to.

Money is our economy’s way of rewarding those of us with outsized skills. It’s far from perfect, but it’s the best we’ve got. Is Tesla and Elon the best place to put that $465m? Maybe, maybe not. But it was the best we had at the time, and I certainly don’t see anyone better than him now.
I mean, it’s not great but this disastrous year means my portfolio is … back to spring of 2021. That’s not exactly economic ruin.
These are on the public transit buses that service the Crestline, Lake Arrowhead and Running Springs areas in California. They're a neat thing for sure and definitely needed up there in the snowier winters.
Yes, that's the universal argument that can be used to argue for or against anything, depending on what you find fashionable at the moment.

The concrete truth is: majority of users will do whatever to make their e-mail (or other form of communication) work, so the easy solution to spam is to blackhole anyone that isn't coming from or vouched by a major provider, and have the minority with specialized needs jump through hoops to get unblocked (or preferably, to change their needs/preferences so that mainstream provider is sufficient).

There isn't any actual user community here. GMail address owners aren't a community. Twitter users aren't a community. Mastodon users aren't a community. The only community is that of the federation instance owners, and it operates as oligarchy. The major players decide who they'll peer with, the minor players have to accept it if they want to be peered with. The actual, non-crazy-activist users, have no power, and are forced to either use the "blessed" providers and accept their rules, or not use the service.

This is already the case for Mastodon for quite a while, BTW.
Don't get hung up on the word "guarantee" and make this a question of absolutes. The question is whether you would bet on your content still being on twitter vs still being on Bob's server X years from now. And the answer is that you would definitely bet the farm on twitter, no matter what X is.

That's an architectural problem with Mastodon, and can probably be fixed. But twitter has it solved by acting as a sort of well-established, large data bank; a place where you store your tweet data. Going to a Mastodon instance is like going to a tiny credit union, if credit unions weren't regulated in any way.
You’re welcome to not hear about it anymore, the door is -> any other focus of your attention. I’m personally in favor of you availing yourself of that freedom.
Math is enjoyable to learn for its own sake :)

In Germany banks are required to collect explicit agreement by their customers. Banks are sending out updated terms on paper, requesting a signature. Not just an "accept" checkbox.

That's probably why Paypal excludes German accounts from their fees. Would they even be able to process anything on paper?
Hi! I wrote the post. I had a friend talk to me about tubeless before I went, and I'm happy I didn't do it. The sealant would need to be replenished. And the first real gash would mean going back to a tube. I was super happy with the Tannus liners (13mm of protection) despite adding some weight and rigidity (the bike was already a tank).
Flutter's days are numbered - iOS continues to grow. More and more companies won't bother with Android given how poorly Google has managed that OS.
No. 20 years ago people created personal websites because it was a creative endeavor for creative personalities. Creative people are a population minority. Social media took over as the internet population grew because most people value immediate gratification more than personal expression.

I wish there was deep profound social, economic, or behavioral issues at play, but there aren’t. Some people want to build things and others just want to shout into a void or stare at those who do.
The 'device tweet was written on' looks like cargo cult of blue bubbles vs green.

Me too! This book has a special place in my heart since it’s the first time I actually understood programming. When I was 13 my goal for the summer was to learn to code. I was struggling hard to understand javascript after learning html, but it just made no sense to me. Then I randomly found this book, worked thru it in about a month, then c++ and even JS also made sense. All though did have like 8+ hr a day to devote to it since my “job” was to babysit my siblings lol.
> "What were you doing to make them censor you?" is the question of the day.

And the answer increasingly often is, "I did not censor the other people quickly enough and visibly enough when I was told to."
Agreed. Plenty of cyclists have toured over 10,000 miles on a bicycle in a year and written journals about the experience:

It's been a while since I've looked at the ins-and-outs of the immune system, but doesn't this basically not hold up to scrutiny? Again, correct me if I'm wrong:

A) The general method of action of the vaccines is that the mRNA enters a cell (generally dendritic cells), the cell transcribes it into the spike protein, then the cell detects something off about the proteins and presents them on their cell wall for the immune system to respond to. The proteins aren't just "free floating" unless your immune response is

B) The likelihood of an immune response to an active infection never doing the same thing with cells that contain partially constructed virons / viron components, or achieving the same effect by breaking down full virons, is basically zero. So it's almost certain that an active infection would have "free-floating" proteins in some capacity as well.
My impression of Elon is that he would appreciate this straightforward feedback that is consistent with his no bs persona. I wonder if he has different evidence than what was presented to him ?
> You seem to be on the cheaper residential schedule.

I'm in San Francisco, so PG&E bills me separately for distribution (provided by PG&E) and generation (provided by CleanPowerSF). We are on a rate plan that has slightly cheaper electricity off peak, and save something like $20/year as a result.

The individual line items on the bill are hard to understand (lots of surcharges and credits), but I can tell you from the totals that my most recent bill shows $0.33 per kWh for electricity (average, including both delivery and generation) and $2.56 per therm for gas.

This is perhaps my biggest regret. I've ignored Mastodon because it seem too much like a PITA to deal with. Now I've been looking at it more seriously, but so has everybody else who's on Twitter, so by the time I get there it's going to be... Twitter pre Musk. This isn't really that appealing. Coulda woulda shoulda, etc., but I just wasn't paying enough attention at the right time. Rather like Bitcoin. Don't get me started.
Hi! I wrote the post. The other reply got it right. But I did do some circles! ;)
In the sense that you're talking about the math involved with the coins themselves, it's hard to disagree with you.

It does seem difficult to have a crypto ecosystem (based on those protocols/coins) that doesn't include the pitfalls of regulatory darkness and non-discoverability of capital assets. Investors seem to like having a cop on the beat. Even though the SEC doesn't really do anything, it carries a big stick and keeps market actors in line, more or less. Furthermore, it's a lot easier to verify that a factory actually has tools in it, than to verify that a crypto exchange is functioning properly.

Money inherently has a cop on the beat. When the cop is Venezuela or Argentina or Zimbabwe, its value gets dinged. And it's a lot easier to monitor things like GDP and taxation than to know how one of these acronymic crypto heroes is running his exchange.
I recently built something to connect asio with gRPC: https://github.com/WolleTD/asio-grpc-callback

The channels and co_yield-capable coros from asio::experimental are quite fun to use for streams.
When you have prior experience with async programming in other languages, e.g. Python or Rust, it's really handy that you don't have to define any awaitable types to use asio with coroutines.
Possibly. I know in the US, banks have to report dormant accounts under a certain value, which doesn't "cost" anything but a salary/bandwidth to handle the reporting/questions/etc.
Sounds like it could be a USAF term
It's still some of the worst opsec if they're literally burying steel and expecting that to be hunky dory.
I don't know the underlying architecture of mastodon, so forgive my naive question, but why wouldn't rate-oiniting be a solution in this instance? Or if one believes they're under attack by a large group of people by aimpling registering and posting 1 post, then rate limiting won't be affecting, so they could realistically pause registration, right?

Please correct my misunderstanding.
> It is simply not plausible that an ACA-compliant plan would wholesale "not cover" a hospital stay for myocarditis

As a lifelong heart patient, I've had many post-operative stays not covered, past a certain duration regardless of my current condition and I've always paid for the highest tiers of health coverage (for over 2 decades now). I find it very likely that ACA would not cover" a hospital stay for myocarditis.
That only works if a function is returning a pointer though, so I don't think it's right to say "most google code." Any function returning a string or any struct by value that can fail doesn't return nil
After re-reading this thread, the angle of this comment wasn't warranted. I apologize.
Glad it's working for some of you, and sorry for the bugs and instability! Should only get more stable with time as I work on it...
The context of this thread is adding syscall to the kernel to allow C userland programs to be safer.

Even if the kernel were written in Java - which is, again, absurd to ask of the OpenBSD developers - it would still be a viable syscall to add for user mode programs written in memory unsafe languages.
Thanks, bud!

> Everyone always thinks their bubble is the non-bubble.

His tariffs were a joke, I remember the one's he was threatening to put on wine, cheese and meats from EU and that still wouldn't have been enough to offset the immense national debt because the US simply doesn't have the the QC/QA to compete with some of their goods. And he gave concessions to large corps who subsequently were using illegal labour in the US--this was clear during COVID when all the migrant workers were getting sick and meat packing plants and with seasonal farm hands during harvest as he threatened to stop migration, which still affects people who have been here already to this day in the H1-N process.

But I concede that their were more factors to it than those, no including the grift and Q-Anon BS, but honestly it's not worth the time.
I don't think Apple really designed the Rokr. It was a Motorola E398 with a terrible version of "iTunes" and a horrible 100 song limit as to not cut into the sales of the iPod.

Phones as computers was already out there as an idea and Handspring and others had been trying to make it work.

The iPhone was more limited as a computer than a competing Palm OS or Windows Mobile device but it was more slick and in some ways polished (although lacking in others). And of course they still had the bulk of then DRM locked digital music/video sales they could leverage to make it appeal to consumers.
From 'Let Over Lambda':

These solutions try to limit or eliminate the impact of unwanted variable capture but unfortunately do so at the expense of wanted, desirable variable capture. Almost all approaches taken to reducing the impact of variable capture serve only to reduce what you can do with defmacro. Hygienic macros are, in the best of situations, a beginner's safety guard-rail; in the worst of situations they form an electric fence, trapping their victims in a sanitised, capture-safe prison. Furthermore, recent research has shown that hygienic macro systems like those specified by various Scheme revisions can still be vulnerable to many interesting capture problems

Speaking as someone intimately familiar with healthcare pricing working really close to the industry specifically in pricing tracking - I can say yes - you aren't incorrect about the fact that healthcare costs going up over time (and the sibling comment about unhealthy lifestyles also isn't incorrect) but the US does indeed have completely arbitrary pricing.

As a personal anecdote when I lived in the US there were three months in a row where I paid 10/pill, 3/pill and 1/pill (I also had earlier paid 0/pill when I qualified for VT medicaid) for the same medication[1] as I was 1) initially uninsured 2) covered by the "cigna preferred rate" but otherwise had no drug coverage 3) had regular drug coverage. As a bonus a few months after that run a generic for my medication came out and I paid .10/pill for the brand name because the generic existed but they didn't have it in stock.

Please explain how that makes any sense at all.

1. Concerta - the 54mg version now apparently retails for $545 per 30 here's a weird website talking about it (I now live in Canada and while there isn't Pharmacare in my province the drug is free with some cheap insurance) https://www.singlecare.com/blog/concerta-without-insurance/

> His problem basically is that the perfect is always the enemy of the good. Because Mastodon does not, today, solve all of social media's problems, it's not worth further effort.

This is an unbelievably generic straw man.
The problem is that incidence for individuals is 100 %, and someone who gets to pay the full yearly deductible is likely so sick that he can't work. Lovely. Not only do you get to pay the hospital, now you are missing a chunk of income, too, when you can least afford it!

An Obamacare Bronze plan is like the bank extending credit - they carry the umbrella after you when the sun is shining, but at the first drop of rain they disappear.
> These are talked about as problems, rather than being the primary selling point.

The Mastodon implementation of this is legitimately flawed.

The issue is you need users to be independent of servers.

That isn't hard to implement. Make the user ID in the protocol the user's public key and user@domain is just a human-friendly pointer. If you transition from user@a to user@b, your pointer changes -- or you can use both for an indeterminate amount of time -- but the public key stays the same and so everyone who followed you or signed up for your feed still sees it.

The current implementation is broken for multiple reasons.

First, it makes you have to care who is hosting you, because if they become adversarial or go out of business or you become large enough to want to self-host, you lose your account. That shouldn't happen.

Second, with users tied to hosts, it becomes "convenient" for hosts ban entire other hosts, which is poison because it's the dynamic that led to the bulk of email moving to GMail and Outlook. Once providers are big enough they can ban smaller ones ("for spam filtering") to exclude competitors. The protocol needs to prevent this by making the host fungible. Not doing so is a significant design flaw.

I have not played this specific instance because it is being HN-hugged to death, but I've played this rule change before--there used to be a website that called it "xymyx". It was interesting because you could move pawns diagonally by attempting to capture a pawn that moved that same turn. Lots of other cute little side effects.

It does not need to be that nuanced. It's basically if you (think you might) have these X conditions, get vaccinated. You can give the detailed recommendations to doctors and other caregivers, and refer the public to them and the CDC website to check more in case they don't know.

Yes - the market-clearing price of housing reflects all the demand for housing, whether that's being paid by renters, AirBnB, local authorities or whoever.

I ctrl-f'ed for this one. First exposure was SOHCAHTOA and memorization without building intuition. I struggled and had no real understanding.

Gave me huge appreciation for the power of a good explanation.

> Are there any decent alternatives that are viable competitors to PayPal

I guess this lack of competition is the exact reason why PayPal can behave as such. I'm writing this as a very happy 10+ years PayPal user, however the number of complaints and horror stories I've read during all those years is so large that it probably means I'm rather the exception than the rule, for now (touches various things).
