Because they do resemble the actual outcomes. The 2 major parties in the UK regularly get majorities in Parliament on far less than 50% of the vote. In the USA gerrymandering has been brought to a fine art. How can this not contribute to discontent, when the majority of people get a government they didn't vote for?

Linux and the BSDs really should have a more restricted default desktop capability model compared to macOS by now. It's a shame that Qubes is the main response we have, not because it's bad, but because it's almost necessary.

All 'peace' with Russia temporary they will only use it to rebuild there forces and attack again.

Why should anyone believe a word from a Russian peace agreement is actually going to be honoured?. They already previously promised to respect Ukraines sovereignty and to never invade it but they went ahead and did it anyway.

Russia is not a good faith actor, and you cannot treat it as one.

I find Arial slightly discomforting, because the kerning is not as nice as with Helvetica. Helvetica feels "denser".

But more to the point, for a corporate logo, Arial feels like a cheap knock off to the more polished Helvetica. You can see this yourself, by looking at corporate existing corporate logos designed in helvetica and then redesigned in Arial.

Admittedly this is personal preference in the end, but I feel like if HR is going to give someone bad news, they're going to do it in Arial. If Apple is going to release a life changing technology, they're going to do it in Helvetica.
> Prager Metis and Armanino worked with FTX, but I can’t find anything showing they completed an audit.

The FTX et al. bankruptcy filing (by the post-SBF CEO) refers to the existence of audited financials for the WRS silo (which includes FTX.US) by Armanino and Dotcom silo (which includes FTX proper) by Prager Metis, with the other silos not having audited financials. This seems to be a fairly strong indication that the audits were completed.

I too like things my way, and got sick of having to fiddle to keep things working... I settled on openbsd. I've got two thinkpad laptops (which are well supported), and a vps. I've tried to avoid apps and customizations that are more likely to break/change over time.

Browsers maybe have been the toughest to sort out. I use links for my usual reading, tor-browser for random surfing, seamonkey for sites I log into, and chrome for the couple sites I need to use that don't work in seamonkey. All minimally configured, and all proxied through my vps and use a hosts file blocklist, except for tor. I had an awesome tweaked version of firefox, but upgrades were more hassle than I wanted to deal with. I use the fvwm window manager included with the base openbsd installation, which can be customized using a single text file. I have productivity software like audacity, claws-mail, gnumeric, krita, and linphone. I've also fiddled with things like shotcut, matrix (over pidgen!), some astrophtography software, and godot. I'm not worried about the latest and greatest games - been there, done that.

It's worked out well. The system gets out of my way and lets me focus on what I'm doing. I've shell scripted my os and app/user/website configurations (except claws-mail, those configs are backed up), so I know everything I setup is reproducible, and all my tweaks are documented. I still get to fiddle, I just prioritize stability over time, as opposed to worry about the bleeding edge.

Prior to this I've used chrome os, debian, freebsd, redhat, and slack over the years. Gave up on windows a long time ago. Chromebooks are low-maintenance, if you don't mind google in your business. Never owned a mac, but don't think a profit-driven os would work for me anymore. My phone is a refurbed pixel 3a running graphene os. ftw! ;-)
The new animation hurts my brain also.

I don't know if it's nostalgia or what but the flat design seems charmless compared to the Forstall-era skeuomorphic design. And the vanilla sameness and uniformity makes it harder to distinguish things. It reminds me a bit of shelving books by size and color rather than by content.

I recently noticed a bunch of electric street lamps that are clearly modeled on gaslamps - they appear to have little chimney vents as well as wide pipes for the nonexistent gas, and they seem designed to shield the LED/CFL/etc. fixture from wind and rain. Mostly non-functional design elements, and I've only seen a few dozen actual gas streetlamps in cities, but I still find them charming.

So a country with a lot of existing interconnects and hydro where a complete renewable transition would cost less than nuclear and very barely more than the cheapest fossil fuels is your example?

https://www.sciencedirect.com/sdfe/reader/pii/S2542435121002...

And pretending adding off peak EV charging to carparks or building hybrid renewable+electrolyser stations that provide all their own energy needs and export during high demand is the same as shutting off existing critical infrastructure is laughably dishonest.
I don't think I said anything about your motives? I'm sure they're good; we just need you to read the rules and follow them. It's not a borderline call to say you've been breaking them.

I think a big part of this is we need a new work culture. Slack makes it easy to communicate but we don’t have good patterns in the work place broadly speaking for remote work. So everything is a Zoom meeting, or a virtual chat dump to a channel. We need to embrace more async communication and proper scheduling on team by team basis that works to get open air dialog as needed. These alone help remove barriers.

We also need to document everything more so than before, and by orders of magnitude. We just don’t have this as common workplace protocols yet

Your frustration stems from angrily telling people something is wrong based on your misunderstanding of a term. You’re welcome not to like the practice or lobby against it but you’re just signing up for frustration trying to get everyone to switch to your redefinition.
> FTX had many parts, did that audit actually cover all of them or was that just for a subset of companies?

No; this is covered in detail in the FTX et al. bankruptcy filing.

You can definitely license RISC-V implementations as in actual cores/silicon IP. And you can definitely patent specific hardware implementations of a RISC-V CPU.

For example whilst both AMD and Intel produce X86 CPUs and share the license they also have numerous patents for their specific implementations e.g. memory controller, prefetch unit, branch predictor etc.

The idea that the RISC-V ecosystem isn’t going to get rather quickly bogged down by patents is too optimistic unless I’ve missed something substantial in their licensing terms that prohibits RISC-V ISA users from issuing patents on their in silicon implementation.

Building a CPU today without having to work around patents is already rather hard and eventually there will be only so many actual hardware implementation of the RISC-V ISA that are both efficient in terms of performance and manufacturing.

So whilst the ISA might be open the secret sauce of how to actually make something useful out of it isn’t going to be open or free.
Can confirm this. In my naive days I used to use Google's Maps together with location tracking on my Android phone. When I moved location, the ISP I was using was available in the new location so I just moved with my router and my IP address and device Mac address remained the same.

Google Maps still thought I was living in my old address. My phone was stuck on the old location for days iirc.
I entirely disagree both with this point and with it’s apparent subtext that being an engineer is better and being a manager is worse. I take it that you are one who takes great pride in “being an engineer”. That’s a separate topic (for instance, one can be an engineer in a management job).

We have the abstraction of job titles or categories to help us reason about what a job is. We do this for a variety of reasons, but in this case the reason to do it is to help people understand whether this advice might apply to them. Ultimately, a job is whatever it’s primary goal is, and you said yours is to empower junior staff who report to you. That makes you very different from many (most?) senior/staff engineers I have met, who are primarily metric’d on their engineering work. Since your primary job is a management function and you write a lot of code, that makes you a manager with some (or many, pick whatever modifier seems appropriate to you) engineering responsibilities.

Bringing it home, if a reader is an engineer (or IC if you prefer to avoid the fraught term) and not a manager, this advice doesn’t apply to them very strongly. Yes they should care about junior colleagues, and they should absolutely make time for deliberate peering and mentoring, but they should focus on doing engineering (which can include docs writing etc) primarily.
I'm the author, although that's 100% true I was going for "our intuition of optimization is bad". Before writing a word I knew that compilers don't inline code that's not in the compile unit (unless `-flto` is specified and it's not guaranteed to work). Imagine my surprise when clang optimized away the call to itoa/strol. I believe it's a heuristic in clang because clang doesn't optimize away 6A

What stuck with me are my wellness habits:

1) Regular push ups and planks, except when I was injured or on trips.
2) Tracking my diet which helped me lose 10 kgs.
3) Reading tech-related books which only stopped during crunch time at work.

I think seeing results is the main reason I continued these habits. I have tried some other habits like those related to finance or social media but since I could not see any results, they fizzled out.

For the initial push, looking forward to achieving your goals for your habits is crucial. Making sure they align with your own value set is key, so you don't slack off (or pick it up immediately when you do, and that's okay)

And another thing was making the habit small at the start. I didn't go full intermittent fasting or lifting weights since cold start doesn't work for me. It's easier to just improve on the habit as you get the hang of it.
It helps you inject a js runtime in your apps which have access to everything via reflection.

No need to recompile the app after making changes to smali (decompiled but modifiable language).

As you can just modify the js script and get the modified behavior.
Flatpak also doesn't need daemons beyond what the app is using.

Feature request: a demo URL that does that!

I'm interested enough to click on a demo, but I'm not _quite_ interested enough to figure out what hoops I would need to jump through to get that demo running myself.
Yes and no. While verifying you should benchmark too. Maybe the inline option is slower! Don't try to outclever or force compiler to do weird things and be knowledgeable about limitations due to compilation steps and the ABI limitations is the lesson.

Most of the time using contexpr and defining inlineable functions in headers will get you the most optimal result. In the most of the remaining part the compiler is again right to not inline things because it probably knows more about the instruction caches etc than you. The remaining tiny part is basically PhD or very expert level experience which makes it your job to know more than the compiler because it is your job to write the compiler or discover its shortcomings.
That's pretty cool.

The compare_and_swap ops of the sorting network can be done in SIMD using _mm_min_epi32, _mm_max_epi32, and _mm_blend_epi32. For the 8-value network, they can operate on 4 pairs of the values and 8 pairs for 16-value network, as long as the pairs have no dependency with each other.
I've seen once or twice people admitting to doing this deliberately to get around brigading/doxxing rules when they actually do want to share the username or whatever - not sure if it's allowed because "they tried" or because it's difficult enough to read that still stops most of the brigading (in many cases you can probably just search for the content to get the username anyway, if you care enough)

I also don't feel the article was trying to accuse the author. That said, their quoting of "crucial mistake" when contacting the author makes it look like they are doubting it was actually a mistake, indirectly suggesting that they suspect some kind of misconduct.

I think they actually quoted the term because that's the correct grammatical rule, at least from my memories of school. Still, the practice is so often used by accusatory journalism that it now makes the usage look suspicious.
I can’t speak to it being “the best ever,” but it’s the one I heard. It would not surprise me, if others used it, and maybe, added “spice.”

I think he was angry too, but that makes it all the more impressive.
Finally!!!

Well, this is not a news site but a <<hacker>> news site.

Great!!!
He doesn’t strike me as angry as much as amused. This is probably not the first time he has been asked a very similar question. Maybe the first time he was annoyed, but what he actually does is explain the big picture, “why?” The question asker isn’t thinking big picture. He needs context. This person may never get it, but it is important for leaders to be able to convey direction.

It is the same struggle that Woz had regarding the Apple II. Woz was looking at all of the success the Apple II had and was still having and Jobs knew it would not last forever and he had to create the next thing and that that is where the company has to put time, money, and attention.
Agree with this, the experience of workplace Covid mandates has left a permanent distaste in my mouth that will likely never leave.

I think the Greek way of choosing elected officials - randomly - within some reasonable sampling criteria, i.e. no criminal record, sound mind, at least >=X age would be better at this point. Professional roles such as city attorney can have corresponding pools of possible candidates.

It's like when you have an actively bad betting strategy, it would actually improve your performance to bet randomly.
CEO's interest is the shareholders (private or public), the company's profits, and his personal profit and success.

He only cares about employees, their compensation, and their health as much as it impacts these things. If he is altruistic, he'll care about them, but prioritize them after the above (if he's a "good CEO")

Give you an example: I know someone who owns a business making $5-6m PROFIT (take home, cash in the bank) a year. They have about 30-40 warehouse workers.

When wages were going up, they were freaking out about having to pay these workers $20/hr vs the $15 they were getting.

Sure, it's like $500k/yr. But seriously. The greed is astounding.

BTW the execs (I had access to their financials) were getting raises in the order of 2x over the next 2yrs. That's right. Double their salary over the next two years (way more than $500k/yr, btw!)

For what it is worth, I do run my own business, and yes - I give what I can to my employees.
Building mlops solutions for a big tech. Agree, most mature ml teams are not using git for ml data versioning, but in my experience and user research it’s not due to lack of intent. Teams have been forced to move to other ml data tools in absence of scalable git solution, most of which come with a lot of cognitive overhead for ml engineers who don’t want to spend time adopting several custom tools in their ml pipelines.
The claims about spreadsheets being Turing complete predate this, though. I always wondered the same thing - how do you get there without looping, and without infinite cells?
A close analogue is medical records; when HIPAA says patients should be able to access data for 10 years, that means “even if you go out of business”. Companies need to set up escrow that’d cover the cost of later retrieval.

Is there a 3d structure that you think is more analogous?

From my understanding it's all matrix math, which to me is a grid. Maybe not a scaffolding one, and more like a bundle of interconnected wires so that each concept has multiple related concepts, but I think a rigid grid is easier to explain to lay people.
The non-translatable features are extremely niche, though. To continue the quote:

> For example, namespaces cannot be represented using the HTML syntax, but they are supported in the DOM and in the XML syntax. Similarly, documents that use the noscript feature can be represented using the HTML syntax, but cannot be represented with the DOM or in the XML syntax. Comments that contain the string "-->" can only be represented in the DOM, not in the HTML and XML syntaxes.

I.e. the big thing you'd fail to capture when doing an automated HTML -> parsed DOM -> XML trip is noscript tags. No big loss. Others I can remember are similarly tiny, e.g. some issues around textarea elements containing only newlines as their initial contents. Some discussion at https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#parsing Ctrl+F "roundtrip", although note that most of that is actually about what happens if you construct weird DOMs with JS and try to do a DOM -> serialized HTML -> reparsed DOM roundtrip.

I think it's pretty safe to say in general that the procedure of "parse HTML to DOM, serialize to XML" will preserve everything interesting about a document. Especially if that document is already valid HTML.
It is not the same.

There are AI algorithms that 'enhance' blurred faces, however, the output 'looks' like real human face, but in all likelihood, different from the ground truth (i.e. the real face that got blurred). Therefore caution must be exercised in advocating such algorithms (e.g. in court of law)

Whereas this algorithm is 'just' enumerating the text, generating blur and finding the closest match to the original blur.
I don't know of a stand-alone one. Gawk has the "--lint" option, which is documented to "Warn about constructs that are dubious or nonportable to other awk implementations ... Some warnings are issued when gawk first reads your program. Others are issued at runtime, as your program executes."

I've never used it, so I'm not sure the range of warnings it generates. Given that some of its checks are done at runtime, I suspect you have to be careful if you want to only use it as a static linter ahead-of-time.
I tried it on a laptop with 8th gen i5 (no dGPU) and transcribing an hour long interview took something like 2+ hours? I didn't time it precisely but it was slower than real time. uploading to otter.ai took a few minutes by comparison. The accuracy was pretty much the same. I have no clue how much faster a consumer device with a dedicated GPU might work though.
No. I just don't believe there is a "ban this speech" b/c in my experience that didn't happen.
If you write a check to a body shop you’re just going to get fleeced. I’ve seen “tested deliverables” that did not compile.

> Last, there is the problem of logistics. As I said I go through a lot of books. If I had to buy these physically I would have run out of storage space years ago. Books would be piling up all over my apartment.

The other side of that is discoverability. So much of my fondness for reading today comes from the fact that I grew up in a house packed with books, practically a shelf in every room, and as a child it was so easy to just pick a book off the shelf and start reading.

The Kindle Oasis is my preferred way to read now, but if when I was a child my dad had read everything electronically, would I be reading (e)books today, or would I have never read enough casually to develop a love of the medium?

That’s why in 2022 I keep the bookshelves in my house overflowing.
