I think you are vastly overestimating the willingness and capability of volunteers and underestimating the effort needed to coordinate such an effort.

And having any kind of manual intervention required will almost certainly reduce the reliability of the testing.

This is further complicated by the need to reboot with a different kernel image. Qemu and virtual machines can't do all kinds of hw testing needed.

And in fact, the kernel is already tested like this. Just very irregularly and sporadically. The end users will do the field testing and it is surprisingly effective in finding bugs.
I love reading while I'm on a noisy train. I have difficulty understanding speech if it's noisy and/or several people talk at the same time so other passengers talking to each other or on their phone don't bother me most of the time. But I can clearly see that I'm loosing focus if the train stops for more than a minute or two. I then start hearing people's conversations like they just started talking at the same moment or, if there's nobody else or everyone is totally quiet, my own thoughts and immediately loose focus.

Oh, an yes - I was diagnosed with ADHD like 15 years ago while in early twenties
Malware can do more damage than a broken 911. It depends on the circumstances.

It's not "life safety dangerous" to leave the house without a phone, and in almost all situations a complete lack of phone is more dangerous than a phone with broken 911.

These are two entirely different matters. There is no question that Twitter, or Google, or IBM, or Microsoft, or ..., have some dead weight.

The issue is that the silly money giant corps destroy the sensible norms for the rest of us innocents who never touched that crappy VC money. First they utterly fucked (can we say fuck on hn?) the interview process for all of us. Remember that? Now I guarantee you, every little man/woman "boss" out there is gonna follow 'the utterly spoiled greek god' and enforce the new 'one week job security window' for the rest of us who weren't being "spoiled" because we never deigned to work for these crappy companies!

"Are you in?" claims the loudly announced new 'greek god' hire of Elon the Terrible. Remember kids, you've heard all this before ..

p.s. every thing these megalomaniacs have touched has screwed something major in society. Surveillance capitalism; destroying the political discourse; etc.

Every single one of these disasters is 100% the responsibility of these supremely self-satisfied "gods" like Elon. Not us developers.

When are they going to face the "hard core" judgment?
Surely causation. Farmers store crops which attract rodents which attract felines. Wild cats that mind their manners do better in this environment. Eventually wild cats become the kitty cats we know today.
I want to mention here that Factorio doesn't use Apple Metal API. They use OpenGL and Apple dropped OpenGL in favour of Metal

Hmm... He could have tried to optimize his Factorio build to consume less power on the laptop running it... Or, as he did, to optimize the whole game for every ARM Macbook in the world.

Thankfully he chose the latter. Or, wait... I have a Macbook... Damn... Goodbye productivity :)

I've jump started lots of cars over the past 30 years and was super skeptical of these at first. They are pretty incredible. 3-4 starts off of one charge easily and make for a hell of a battery pack.

Just mind the size because they are quite a bit chunkier than average power packs.

I can certainly believe they're like that today, given how inept they obviously are in every aspect of the Ukraine war. So much so, I will take that at face value without even bothering to google it even though it would've seemed like a surprising and unbelievable claim this time last year.

That doesn't mean they didn't go to space, nor does it mean they didn't industrialise, nor does it mean they weren't a significant word power and viable threat to the USA during the Cold War.

Interesting that you call it available for 16 years when 1.0 came out in 2015 and looked little like pre-1.0 Rust, and I would argue that no 1.0 language is usually successful until later releases. I would also say that Rust 1.0 is nowhere close to where it got to in 2018, let alone today. Python didn't become prevalent until 2.4 and Java didn't take off until at least 1.1.1.

Elsewhere you claim nothing is written of note is written in Rust, and I would be interested in knowing what you base this on. Either we have different definitions on what makes a project significant, or you just haven't seen them.

I do not know what level of market share you think would be needed for Rust to have been worth it, but given it was originally aimed at the ill-defined but somewhat niche "systems programming" space, and now it is being used up and down different layers of the tech stack I would call it a success of adoption.

Gaming on a Mac is like gaming on a PC just worse. There's less games, every game on Steam that supports Mac supports Windows. Performance is usually worse too. For gaming it's just a worse PC. And it's usually more expensive. And there hasn't been an exclusive worth playing since like 1997. With consoles there is at least stuff you can only play there and an extra ease of use layer plus they are cheaper. Mac is just all downside for gaming.

I think you are misunderstanding the point. Deciding whether a finite Turing machine - a.k.a. a real computer - halts is EXPTIME-complete, i.e. it would already take forever to decide even if you had access to a real Turing machine but you actually only have access to less powerful real computers.

We’ve seen the result of that reliance. UK’s non-subsidized energy prices have skyrocketed and it’s unclear what the remedy will be. If you know one please tell me. I’ve been to the UK and talked to power players there and the only plan I’ve heard is “temporary” deindustrialization to maintain consumer comforts.

National security - the UK is THE leader in Europe. The EU seems unwilling to field a credible military deterrence. That’s not being equals IMO. Slowly that’s changing now… but the UK is already integrating its military industrial base with the U.S. so that ship has sailed.

Manufacturing - I used that word as a catch-all for providing goods and services.

That sounds more like a get-out-of-jail-for-hundreds-of-millions card. Though if this is the event that makes people realize that wealth inequality leads to all kinds of perversions of justice, perhaps that's a silver lining at least.
Pythagoras discovered Mathematics and Music

He most certainly did not. Both were well known long before he was born. He (or members of his school) made some discoveries that relate mathematics to music.

The ancient Stoics developed a protocol for the life of a pious person, which is absolutely relevant to this day.

Stoicism has become a popular meme lately, but it bears only a faint resemblance to the Roman version of Stoicism and even less to the Greeks arguing in the stoa. Their philosophy is worth studying, but no more so than anything else in the vast sweep of philosophical history.

Euclid collected knowledge in one book

Knowledge about geometry, an important field but hardly a complete book of knowledge.

Eratosthenes calculated the circumference of the Earth with an accuracy that was surpassed only in the space age

This is true, but it hardly seems to justify that they were "much better people than we are". Eratosthenes had an extraordinary tool at his disposal: a class of soldiers specifically for measuring distances by walking them. He was hardly the only one to have the basic idea of using triangulation to calculate the size of the earth. He also had the best raw data.

I don't mean to demean them or your interest in them, but they were just men (and occasionally women). They were neither better nor worse than us; they are us.

Aristotle was a scholar of extraordinary breadth and extraordinary depth. For centuries he was venerated more than was really merited, and most non-philosophers today who know anything at all about him remember him mostly for his real howlers. But he did systematize knowledge in a way that eventually helped lead to the notion of science as we know it today.

Philosophy too often proceeds by treating individuals as if they produced scripture. That frustrates scientists, who rarely read anything in the original and would certainly never declare that you didn't understand something if you couldn't read the primary source.

Philosophy has more akin to literature than to science, where the specific writing matters. "Natural philosophy" was the least like that and broke off into a separate field we call science, and in its rush to stop venerating individuals often forgets history -- and then mangles it.

Which is to say... if these specific writers mean something to you, that is fantastic. Though for the writers you mention, most have left only fragmentary works, and the actual attribution of them to specific people is doubtful.

I'm developing microtonal algorithmic music, leaning towards chiptune sound, and for sounds/timbres/instruments I found the Plogue synthesisers to be the best - https://www.plogue.com/index.html - they have 3 great FM-synthesizers/emulators of Yamaha chips: OPL2, OPN from megadrive, and DX7. Bought 2 of them on this black friday.
Interesting. Code Puzzle also offers the possibility to add blanks (and drop down menus), but no doctests. Maybe a new feature for the next version.
No.

Imagine you only speak English and you want to read a novel in French.

Emulation: you hire a translator to read the novel to you. They translate each word while reading.

Static translation: you hire a translator to transcribe the book from French to English. They give you a printed book purely in English. But simple French words like flâner and râler are expanded into lengthy passages because there is no simple English translation.

Rosetta 2: you hire the translator to transcribe the book to English, but they leave in unique French words and teach you what they mean so you can understand them in an English phrase without even noticing that the word isn’t “real” English.

Rosetta 2 isn’t emulation because no instruction is translated on the fly to a different ISA. It’s static translation plus ISA extensions. There is no lower level emulating anything.

Agreed, people tend to over complicate and make testing religious. In reality, testing is nothing more than a means to an end. Ask yourself these questions for your project:

1. Are there pieces that can be tested independently where verification is valuable?

2. What is the impact of a bug or regression?

3. What type of testing is most likely to uncover issues in my product given its architecture and domain?

4. Am I confident to refactor the code base without creating new bugs?

etc. etc. Iow, testing isn't magic, it should be driven by business goals. For example, I use Rust which due its great type system makes some types of code "just work", however, Rust cannot prevent logic errors. This means when I'm writing 'algorithmic code' I tend to write heavy unit tests. When I write API driven code, I tend to use more integration/end-to-end style testing. Do what makes sense for your code and goals. Tests take time and need to be refactored, so they aren't free, but can be valuable.
I believe you, thanks for writing about it here.

Ask HN: Azure has run out of compute – anyone else affected?
Last week we at n8n ran into problems getting a new database from Azure. After contacting support, it turns out that we can’t add instances to our k8s cluster either. Azure has told they'll have more capacity in April 2023(!) — but we’ll have to stop accepting new users in ~35 days if we don't get any more. These problems seem only in the German region, but setting up in a new region would be complicated for us.

We never thought our startup would be threatened by the unreliability of a company like Microsoft, or that they wouldn’t proactively inform us about this.

Is anyone else experiencing these problems?

"Those who can, do, those who can't, teach" comes to mind
Even if you did buy a new iPhone every year, all of your apps, content, and services immediately port over to the new device. An iPhone doesn't ask you for $60 to run the Facebook app on the latest model.

Besides that you're presupposing someone buys a new iPhone every year and that an iPhone doesn't have any more utility than a game console. Despite the capabilities of modern consoles they're mainly used for games and secondarily for streaming. For a not insignificant number of people their smartphone is their primary computing device. Smartphones are used for more and more often than gaming consoles. I also don't know a single person that buys a new iPhone every year. Even the most well off people I know that are iPhone fans upgrade only every other year.

Sony has had a weird history around backwards compatibility, Microsoft didn't really bother until the latest generation of their consoles, and Nintendo is pretty much allergic to the idea. Not only do consoles not do as much for people as smartphones but they require an investment in new games when you do upgrade.
The API is massive. Just the number build parameters and boot parameters is very high. There is also a ton of things you can tune at runtime in /sys/proc . Not to mention all the syscalls and the subtle ways they all interact with each other.

Or you know, the average person who puts money aside on their 401K who in turn needs money managers who in turn end up partially funding venture capital...

It's chaotic. You can't point the finger at any single person or class and "blame them". It's a complex system made of many moving parts and somehow poorly understood incentives.

And 99% of them go to the same cloud crap where a single entity can gain control of them all at once (I don't know if this is the current state, but you get the point, it's the inevitable state, be it one with 99% or maybe 5 groups with equal share.

This is a media deflection. They massively blow this up with Ukraine but literally do nothing when Sweden and Finland joins.

What putin really fears, is free, rich and democratic country in which large parts of population speak russian language. The masses can't be placated if "the same people" live better lives than under mafia regime. That's why russia spend last 30 years undermining free Ukraine and ensuring their hold on Belarus.
