Deno now supports NPM packages
Meson integrates fairly well with CMake. The CMake support is maintained by a student however. Said student has been busy for a bit, so some bug reports and feature requests have sat dormant. My needs are 100% met. A ton of popular C++ libraries exist within Meson's WrapDB however.

She certainly earned her sentence, and I have no sympathy for her. But isn’t it hard not to be at least a little impressed with the sheer scale of her losses? Getting in the record books for “most money lost by a single individual” is a hard thing to do in general.

By themselves, no, but there are limits to how many cores a workload can keep fed. You'll see declining returns at high core counts (which is one of the reasons we don't have Xeon Phis these days).

What I tried to convey is that this is an arbitrary line to draw. What difference does it make to an user whether graphic and network bugs can be reported to the same organisation, but bugs in the IDE (I'm thinking of IntelliJ here, not Emacs) go somewhere else vs. all bugs go to their respective software package's bug tracker?

There was a time when DEC or IBM could act as a single point of contact for all your software needs, but we live in a much more diverse world now and the all-inclusive software offering / SPOC is just not a realistic or (IMHO) desirable target anymore.

A type-level program is still a program. Non-constructive proofs are addressing the question "will this program crash or go wrong if I extend it to do X, regardless of how I achieve that?", which is exactly the domain of type-level programming.
You are free to do that, but I am going to continue using Meson since it is so much better than CMake will ever be. The syntax is actually readable and familiar.

When I first met him he told me he was living in a tiny appt in Hell's Kitchen (NYC neighborhood) but was looking for a new job. He’d just moved to the city from Colorado and was trying to reset. I knew he had a great work ethic and that he was a self starter so decided to take a risk. 100% worth it. He’s closed well over a million in deals and now runs our sales team.
And then later the article says:

> The error resulted in Apple restructuring its graphics processor team and moving some managers away from the project.

Not suggesting this is or isn’t it, but the manager thing cuts both ways. I’ve had managers who push overly ambitious goals, and managers who defer to the overly ambitious engineers because they seem confident enough and the manager has failed to understand the engineer’s capabilities.

I’ve experienced many engineers who are waaaaay too ambitious and really do not comfortably understand the true development cost to everything. They deliver the first 80% on time and the second 80% puts the project six months behind.
Mac Pro

I wonder if this was a bigger setback for the Mac Pro than anything else.
"Good enough" is an incredibly big thing.

RISC-V doesn't have to displace M2/Epyc/Xeon to be important. There are a trillion cores a year being shipped in embedded devices where "cheap and configurable" is more important than raw performance.

What surprises me is that we haven't seen more "built to emulate" designs yet. Many of those "trillion cores" are zombie architectures with terrible price/performance ratios, but nobody wants to rewrite their software or retool things (anything 8051, AVR or PIC seems vulnerable). I could see replacement modules using a cheap-due-to-scale RISC-V core that just emulates the old chip in baked-in firmware.

Honestly it's good to see that the responsible American institutions still seem to be reasonably quick and effective when it comes to prosecuting the relevant people here, but can we finally get that comprehensive regulatory framework in question?

Legislators need to stop being asleep at the wheel. Be it the US or the EU or someone else finally needs to take the air out of this entire ecosystem that enables these fraudulent schemes in the first place.

I encourage you to watch Coffeezilla's video about Tether. There's lots of shady stuff going on behind the scenes, like them borrowing $383M from Bitfinex and showing that to an auditor to prove they were solvent (~20:00).

I personally judge a church by its authorities and foundational texts, and the authorities and foundational texts of Catholicism are uncontrovertibly in support of the notion that demons and exorcisms are real things. Heck, one of the taglines for Jesus is that he “casts out demons.”

Well, FTX, as a stable business, should be a money printing machine - but that definitely wasn't an obstacle for its leaders to risk the business and jail time to speculate with customers' funds.
How well the M series will do over time would be based on its comparative performance. For all the “not that impressive” gains of the M2, there still seem to be plenty of people that historically wouldn’t buy an Apple computer but are ‘begrudgingly’ buying Apple laptops due to M series performance. Have we seen anything that delivers a comparable value proposition, let alone a better one?

It seems natural that M series chips won’t forever be uniquely positioned ahead of the pack. I don’t think that anyone besides Apple actually wants that in the first place though. I have every expectation that they’ll keep up with the pack, or simply move back to third party chips, even if that means changing architectures, which Apple is not scared of doing.

Your experience with taxis was the polar opposite of mine, and I used to ride them pretty frequently. With respect to prearranged rides, I’d say that reliability was in the 50-80% range. My mother still refuses to use any apps, and calls the taxi company to arrange pickups at specific times. You’d think they’d try hard for the last business they have, but they failed to show the last two times (leading to panic and a small fortune in airport parking). This is saying nothing regarding their flagrant violations of the law (refusing fares, refusing to accept card payment because “the machine is broken”, unbelievably reckless driving, unsafe vehicles, etc.). Maybe it was just where I was, but the industry was a government-enforced oligopoly begging for disruption.
If the only reason to use CMake is user-defined functions, I see no real reason to use it. The gains in readability of Meson are far and beyond the gains of user-defined functions in my opinion. I maintain a large open source library and haven't once felt the need for user-defined functions.

> Want to get data from inside a device onto your computer? Nope, it’s not a mass storage device. You need to install another app, that will be used just for this one device, to sync things. The app inconspicuously asks for location access while at it, and eats 85% of your CPU at all times, even when idle.

This one has to be an iPhone and iTunes. Absolutely nonsensical levels of obfuscation to getting data on and off. iPhones can't connect to network disks on the local network, they don't appear as mass storage devices if connected via USB, and the software they require--iTunes--is an absolute cluster. If only Android weren't its own complete disaster for different reasons.

If you had an airport flight why would you ever be waiting for a taxi instead of having pre-booked one?

Uber, at least in my city, has given us a lower quality, less reliable, more expensive service. To the point that it's physically impossible to get a car at certain times of day.

With Uber, instead of pre-booking a taxi and the company making sure they have someone available or otherwise notifying me. I basically have to gamble that a driver happens to be using Uber and is willing to take an airport fare. I won't be able to make alternative arrangements because by the time I find out whether or not there's a driver available It'll be too late.
She's not anyone's hero.

I agree that it's conceptually weird, but since Ruby guarantees the ordering, you might as well have features for it.

This is absurd to me. Of course your choice matters to the mom and pop store. Just because you can’t single-handedly keep a mom and pop hardware store, grocery store, and bookstore afloat on your income doesn’t mean they don’t benefit from your business.

It’s just good ethics hygiene. And shopping at locally-owned stores always pays off in the long run. You meet interesting people who actually care about where they live and their neighbors.
> It's stupidly inefficient for everyone to respond to people in need by going to help them.

By "go help them" I did not mean literally drop what you're doing at any moment. I meant, set up private means to help people, funded by volutary contributions. That would entail some people actually physically going to help, but not everyone involved. A private institution could take all of the measures you describe as being more efficient. Indeed, historically private institutions have done so. The monopolization of "helping people" by governments, on the theory (mistaken--see below) that governments can do it more efficiently, is a fairly recent development.

> "The government" isn't forcing anyone to help people.

Yes, it is. No one has the option of not paying their taxes because they don't agree with what the government is doing with the money. Try that and you will go to jail. That's force. All government laws and policies are backed up by force and the threat of force.

> It's your neighbors, my neighbors, and everyone around and between us choosing to help others.

No, it isn't. What that would look like is not passing laws. What it would look like is you, your neighbors, and everyone else who agreed with you forming a private institution to help others, funded by voluntary contributions.

> You might not agree with it, but that's just life in a democracy.

In other words, you agree that democracy forces some people to pay for things they do not support. Thank you. But you realize, of course, that you are contradicting your earlier statement that the government isn't forcing anyone to help people.

> it sounds like you haven't really thought through your "Everyone go help whoever they think needs it directly" strategy at all.

On the contrary, you are the one who hasn't thought through your position, because, aside from contradicting yourself (see above), you are helping yourself to the extremely implausible (I could say "demonstrably false", but I'll go easy on you for now) claims that (1) democratic processes as they actually exist in our country and others actually do a good job of giving all viewpoints a fair hearing and deciding questions on the merits and not on irrelevant grounds of political expediency or cronyism or... (I could go on and on), and (2) that the government programs that result from these democratic processes actually do what they are ostensibly created to do, and (3) that they do it more efficiently (i.e., with more actual good done per dollar contributed by the people) that private charitable institutions would.

It's precisely because I have thought through these things, and have seen, through both first-hand experience and through looking at the overall performance of government programs in general, that all three of the above claims are false, that I have come to the views I have been expressing.
> You’re only able to prove that ordering of the reals (and that it’s impossible to show) because you are computing the abstract structure underlying the reals (which is based on some lower level ideas etc.) Just because a problem is computationally hard with a step by step CPU doesn’t mean it isn’t computation.

The set of computable real numbers is countable and thus has measure zero. In other words, almost all real numbers are non-computable, and almost all has an exact definition.

So you can’t compute the real numbers unless you’re meaning something else by computing.
Not to get off-topic but startups are risky. On the other hand - at least in my book - entrepreneurs are actual risk-adverse. That is, where others see too much risk, entrepreneurs see opportunity. They are actually risk blind to some extent.

But like I said, this another discussion for another day :)
> it may be more impactful to make an app designed for them, which then plugs into the independant smaller networks of drivers seamlessly

My understanding is that Uber already does that, though I don't know how big is the scale. There are cities where Uber operates only through a bunch of intermediaries (essentially taxi mini-companies). A driver cannot signup with Uber directly, they have to go to one of these companies.
I went through great lengths to get it somewhat usable on slow CPUs. This is really where I spent the majority of my time.

Leniency is a relative term. It's relative to the size of the harm, number of victims, her centrality to it, etc. If there's a for sure bet to be made here, it's that she will be spending many years in prison for this. Just not her whole life. That's what leniency here means.
That seems to indicate that taxis can't compete with Uber/Lyft's dispatch and logistics system, so they just wait somewhere with guaranteed customers. That's great if you happen to be at a hub where taxis hang out, but it sounds like lots of other people in the area also wanted a ride and didn't have a convenient airport taxi stand, causing the surge pricing for the region. For those people taxis are unavailable (because they are all queueing at the airport) so it's better to have the option of a ride at 2.5x than nothing.

Ping me when it can WebKit

EDIT: this was flippant of me, but I was trying to make a real point.

I'm simply too used, as a front-end dev, to the flexibility I get from CSS and HTML and SVG and React, and React-Three-Fibre for fancy stuff. Put it in Electron and boom.

Yes, it's a horrible, horrible mess. Yes, it's ungainly. Yes, it's twenty layers of abstraction.

But Electron apps have come an enormous way. My favourite apps are now all Electron. While non-Electron apps make a strong start, they simply cannot keep up with the innovation made possible by here-you-go-ing the last 30 years of web progress.

Yeah, I know that's not the use case for something like this. Opposite! Opposite! But you know what? For most medium-sized 2022 front-end workloads, widgeting is a thoroughly solved problem.

By 2030, most apps will include an entire web browser, just as insurance for future market-competitive growth rate.

This is why adopting MAUI, Blazor, etc, is folly, and even this kit -- aside from it obvious hacker-cool minimalist street cred -- is the sort of 'meme dependency' (rhymes with meme stock) that HN adores despite the fact that it will see almost no non-toy use cases.

Get yourself a web browser. HTML is the VT220 of 2030.

That has no citations and is pretty ranty. Given the timing, it seems more likely that all of the people in the industry working on similar problems identified the same problems with the previous generation APIs and since they all work with the same major developers they're going to be coming up with similar solutions.
Go: Using pointers for better performance isn't a hard rule
IIRC, minhashing is used to approximate Jacquard similarity (a set-theoretic measure), while random hyperplanes (aka simhashing) is used to approximate cosine similarity (a geometric/algebraic measure). So they solve different problems, even though some problems can be cast in terms of either framework.
