"Two processes! Not two threads!"

And I wrote "thread or process" because, architecturally regarding IPC, the distinction is unimportant.

"How would you know?"

Due to the inaccuracy of your analogy, with regard to actual systems interfaces.

"You seem to admit iouring exists, isn't POSIX, but what? You just don't believe it's faster now? Bull shit."

io_uring is not faster than shared memory via mmap.

"If you think a reimplementation of Linux is "easy" you need to have your head examined"

I think now we're touching on the limits of your experience and expertise. Implementing select(2) on Linux is indeed quite simple. Have you ever read through select.c?

Have you ever even implemented a posix subsystem? I have.

"Microsoft has near-infinite money and eventually gave up, deciding POSIX was too hard, and just implemented another hypervisor. "

This isn't how things work on Windows.

As an aside, I've noticed that your ignorance has shifted into rudeness. Don't bother to respond again. This conversation is over.
I know it's been talked about a lot and never really implemented, but if you've got a fleet of identical vehicles, then doing battery swaps should be possible and practical.
The tech downturn seen through Hacker News comments
Didn't they mention in the talk that the Smart NIC is the limiting factor? Likely would also be hard to have open source code on a Smart NIC.
I was thinking just about those, same goes for reactions for messages on other platforms, stickers, etc.
I'm roughly the same. All I want is a phone that lets me play Spotify, tracks my steps during the day/gps on runs, and lets me use messaging apps (Telegram, WhatsApp) along with SMS and call. Really need nothing else on it (and am starting to get that way). Maybe a smart watch is the best option, but I really don't like the design of most of them, and prefer my old school kinetic powered watch.
In my experience it often does go smoothly, but otoh sometimes not. The typical reason for that is when a container image dependency is not published for ARM. And then the docker tooling does not make it particularly easy for you to substitute your own ARM binary container image for a public hub-published x64-only one. And then sometimes the image won't build at all on ARM for <reasons> of the kind that waste days of your time and turn out to require building an entire Linux distribution to fix...
That's kind of wild, and a little concerning. 13 WHAM doesn't seem to have even a mention of this on their website. Is ABC connected to anti-labor interests?
Wouldn't be amazing if the SE 4 had the same design as the iPhone 4, but with modern components, and maybe an edge-to-edge oled?
Eh, the fact a phone can resolve the question of whether Pulp Fiction or Reservoir Dogs was released first doesn't stop us discussing which is the better film.

There is also two part IR reflective paint. With an IR reflecting bottom layer and a colored top layer. Doesn't say what percentage IR is reflected though:

I wish Clockwork Pi would release the DevTerm with a full-size keyboard. Same internals, same everything (even the screen could stay the same size). Without a full-size keyboard it's not really a solid replacement for the Model 100 for writing/notetaking.
I similarly interpreted OP as someone who only wants basic features in messaging while the reply implies that not everyone views those three features as the only necessary features. Nothing uncharitable about saying that everyone’s needs are different.
That's different. IRS is an extension of the U.S. Government itself, and as a Citizen/resident, you are required to work with them.

You are absolutely free to never associate with them as an employee, however. Important distinction.
It's like this:

There's a price that the market (consumers) will bear to pay for a service. Let's call it MyBigBrand and you charge $5/month or idk, $10 for a one-time purchase.

Apple charges whatever their fee is, let's call it 30%, and they keep this fee and do lots of things with it including buy back stock and reinvest in improving their services.

MyBigBrand comes along and says hey that's not fair! They launch a marketing campaign "The Apple Tax" and file lawsuits. Courts decide Apple should allow 3rd-party app stores or that they can't charge the fee or have to reduce it.

In each of those scenarios, MyBigBrand continues to charge customers $5/month for their product. All that's occuring here is whether or not MyBigBrand gets to pay less to Apple or whether Apple gets to continue to charge MyBigBrand and eat into their margins.

For a consumer you still pay the same fee for the product, or potentially you have to download some other app store that MyBigBrand owns or collaborates with MyOtherBigBrand on and then they split the costs and keep more of the margin.

At the end of the day people are being duped into really caring about who gets to keep more of their money and it just doesn't matter, except that it appears Apple does something beneficial with the money they keep and having multiple app stores with exclusive apps will suck and be annoying.
It would be really cool if Apple made an eMate 300-like device again (a relatively cheap educational laptop). Sure, the iPad is a thing, but still.
Except bird flu won't come from wilderness, it will come from animal agriculture. The current worry is that the place it will develop mammal-to-mammal and ultimately human-to-human transmission is mink farms, and the incubator for the disease among birds is chicken farms.

Stop eating and wearing so many animal products and we'll be fine even with billions and billions of people all over the world.

Seriously, I know I'm coming off as an angry veg here, but are people blind to the fact that COVID likely came from a meat market (I mean the lab leak is also possible but the original meat-market theory is pretty likely too), and bird flu will come from meat-animal industrial farms and fur farms?
It can be an item into which one deposits bodily waste, or an area/room where one goes to defecate and/or micturate. The earlier meaning, very occasionally still used, is a place for dressing and/or grooming (eg powdering a wig).

What Oxide is doing is nowhere close to the workstation or even midrange-compute market where most "servers" are nowadays. Based on the announced specs of their rack-scale systems, they probably have to be priced in the million-dollar range based on the hardware alone.

Satoshi is incompetent and arrogant now? Just wow.
This is a little surprising since MNRAS's niche has been that it had no page charges. So if one was short on grant money then you went with monthly notices. That's pretty nice if (a) you have zero grant funding available or (b) want to prioritize conference travel for students/postdocs.

MNRAS is one of the three "main" journals for astronomy along with Astronomy and Astrophysics (A&A) and the Astrophysical Journal (ApJ and AJ). A&A is mainly Europe and ApJ is more mixed but with more North America. Along with Nature and Science for high-impact things and regional journals for Japan, Australia, and the US (PASP).
I suspect a lot of engineers who grew up in a very process-oriented environment would find the way things were often done a couple decades ago to be utter chaos. It depends on the size of the company as well, of course, but a lot of process-oriented tooling like git, ticketing systems, CI/CD, etc. have become pretty widespread standard practice.
How about just picking a non-cyclical time? Just count the amount of seconds/milliseconds since 1 Jan 1970 where the duration of the second is synced to those on earth. Just have no official days/hours/years whatever, no leap seconds, no adjustments, no nothing. Those details can be filled in at will by whoever needs lunar time for daily use.
I think this change does a great job to further solidify the Teams plan for smaller orgs. At GitHub.
> [..] you don't get to decide what "social good" is

Well, technically I have a say, I elect my leaders and can write to them with my opinion. Often it is the case that salesmen and charletons get into those positions but the basic premise of those positions is that they're intended to act in the social good. What you propose is that somehow tech companies will act in the social good by themselves, which I find particularly dubious.

All capitalist companies (and by that I mean, any company that is enjoying success in a capitalist society) have an often unstated goal of monopolising their market.

It is a natural outcome of competition that eventually there is a victor. The whole premise of capitalism is that competition is good, but eventually the strongest will win and you have a monopolistic leader.

The only antidote to this is regulations.

Making the argument that regulation hurts smaller companies is also something uniquely American. This regulation (and many other tech regulations) are really aimed at people abusing their position today, not some theoretical startup that somehow captures 60% of a market overnight.

FWIW, I actually really like iMessage and agree with the decision Apple made not to open it, but I can't abide talk like this because a lot of people seem to think that regulation is somehow anti-capitalist, when in reality regulation is the only thing that could keep the capitalist machine running once there is a monopoly position or a sufficient moat around a service.

I'm sick and tired of the lack of attention to asthetics. why does it have to be so ugly? same thing is happening with operating system UI design since after Vista and OSX leopard. even new consumer cars and trucks are ugly with NPC gray paint jobs and huge plastic front bumpers.
> If it was much more deadly, it wouldn't have spread.

That depends fairly heavily on how much more, and how long before symptoms and death you're infectious. Measles, for example, is insidious in part because it's infectious days before the rash appears.
It sounds like better sleep is probably a lot of the explanation of the improvement, too.
Makes me think of Solaris too
That also happened. I remember seeing the reports from some south american nations (don't remember exactly which one) of people who had dead relatives in their houses and no one could go and fetch them.
After all, it works for heroine dealers! Get them addicted for free, and then the money starts flowing in!
Threw a couple of things at it - no matter what I proposed it wanted to layer a rap vocal on top of it and didn't really sound anything like what I proposed. (e.g., "70s prog rock instrumental about traveling through space" gave me acoustic guitar to a hip hop type beat and vocals.)
There's no need to be so disagreeable about this: GP's only point is that it could have been much worse from a lethality perspective.
> We don't use TAI in everyday use because it's constantly and continuously changing in small ways to account for the tiny accelerations or decelerations in Earth's rotation, and that's annoying for computers. So instead we use UTC.

Wait, what? TAI is the one time standard that doesn't change. It's just a bunch of atomic clocks averaged together. As monotonic as human kind is able to manufacture, at this time.

UTC is TAI+varying offset in an effort to stay close to mean solar time.

The varying offset of UTC, called leap seconds, is what's annoying to computers. If we ran computers on TAI, they would be simpler!

And "data center time" tends to be something approximating UTC, with leap seconds smeared into continuous adjustments, just because UTC is annoying to computers.

Interesting. A few followup thoughts:

- Can you share this analysis across a longer time span?

- Maybe there's a way to normalize it to general activity on HN? It probably hasn't gone down, but it would be cleaner to do that.
> This technology will kill all digital information exchange.

This is a bit hyperbolic. We have strong encryption like PGP for media like email (although I suppose getting people to use it is the issue), and there will be plenty of incentive to develop other tech to counter the problems you mentioned.
Ænglish is the language of Ænglanders, who live on Ængland, an island with lots of Ængs. They used have trees, but fools burned them all down. Reason for this is of course that there was too many Ænglanders for normal slash and burn agriculture. And reason for this overpopulation is that they were living on remote island, so there were not enough wars.
White elephant in March – gift ideas?
My parents and I all have birthdays in March so we were going to do a white elephant as a gift exchange instead. I know it's kind of silly but any suggestions for gifts for parents?

I might get my own gift back but want to get something we'd all like. We're all developers actually so I thought it'd be funny to get something with that theme in mind, and I figured the HN community would be perfect to ask
You'd be surprised.

Efficiency is rarely about how many steps it takes to get there.

And even taking into account all the steps that you call inefficient, ICE cars are still 20-50% cheaper to buy. And with electricity prices what they are ICE cars are probably the same, or even cheaper, to run.
I still have the email

For a very low density experiment and. A few other cases, it is an option. Or for mask writing.

It is very informative to consider the data rate. To approximate (and perhaps do bad phone math) lithography tool has ~1bit per 10nm^2, doing 1 field ever 20s. Or 600mm^2/20s. 30mm^2/s, or about 3E12 bits/s. That's amazing.
Funny. I usually appreciate the Israeli way of thinking, talking, communicating and arguing.

Not here. This is a full TDS style op-ed very light on substance and high on pure vitriol and attack. Doesn't even begin to lay out the framework of what's going on.

In case you missed it, the courts have a dual prerogative. Law, Justice and the rest. But also considering what's best for Israel.

The courts have been accused of using this clause to consider groups of Israelis best interests as in the interests of Israel.

Basically back door socialism, where group rights supercede individual rights is what I gather.

Bibi has led Israel through many tough times. He orchestrated the change from more socialist to more capitalist in the early 2000s, with great results in the complete and absolute domination of cutting edge tech including everything hacking, warfighting, intel related.

Now he is doing what he considers needs done to save the country, and the people are behind him (assuming if he is still leader) and the barrage of media against him is astonishing. Its even spilling over into the English language world.

What's the Jewish equivalent of calling someone a Nazi? Because I'm sure that's what he will be called next.

If anyone else has anymore English reading on the subject, I would be interested in some links. I find the media coverage on the issue to be vapid and pedantic. Very odd considering Israel usually has some of the best discourse and explanations available about these issues.

> What if one day Signal, Telegram or WhatsApp want to implement something "different" that could make messaging better but this policy is making things harder to implement because it would be impossible to make it interoperate with other messaging apps?

That's still possible. The company owning that platform just has to ensure that its services are accessible by any client. Protocols/APIs can still be further developed or brand new ones introduced. But they still have to be documented & be made accessible.
If I didn't need to worry about basic necessities (including medical care) I would absolutely volunteer to do these sorts of things.
I hope that, with the assistance of time, we can now adopt a more aristotlean/catholic "and" vs. a platonic/puritan "or" with respect to these various language features.

Object oriented programming is a perfectly reasonable way to organize a code base and the basics provide for good encapsulation. Elaborate object hierarchies and the design pattern maximalism of the early java community that lead to the hilariously germanic ThingDoerFactoryFacadeFactoryInstaniatorService abominations are obviously bad, but the basics of OO do a good job if used reasonably.

Increasingly we are seeing pragmatic integration of different language features: for example using classes/objects for data modeling but using functional-style closures for data structure manipulation. Pragmatic static type systems with 'escape hatches' when needed, or dynamically typed language adding support for some static typing. Etc. This is the right thing.

Not "either/or" but rather "both/and" and using the right tool for the job. The manichaeism of early language discussions can be set aside and, rather than fighting about which language is "the right thing" we can talk about which language feature(s) is/are the right thing for this particular problem.
Personally I would say no, given that you could do other things via that link that are not just convenience, e.g. intrusion alert.

Population density to spread in? Large open plan workplaces, public transit, concert halls...

A localized, fairly small, not very mobile set of farm animals.
Is this the norm for those people too, or are you basically the only one they ever talk to where timezone matters?
It was not the client but all the companies using Jabber/XMPP protocol for their products.

Many clients including Empathy and Kopete allowed this at the time.
To be fair, that was probably the same opinion you expressed when buying an iPhone. Nobody thinks about the consequences of who they can text when they buy a phone, and why should they?
The DMA requires interoperability without a decrease in security - this explicitly includes end-to-end encryption, which iMessage supports. Since SMS has no standard for key distribution/discovery, it already fails at that hurdle.

It also requires that features such as group messaging and audio/video calling.
Food rots. You're still taking care of the books you haven't read, and somebody else will have them after you're dead if you picked the right titles.

> Usually it's considered wasteful to buy a lot of food you have no plans to eat.

And if you only buy food when you have a immediate need to eat, you've chosen the most wasteful way to eat. You'll overpay, create more waste (packaging, imprecise portions), and immediately starve when you lose access to a continual supply.
That's certainly not a development new since 2010.
There is a movement to put back "dangerous" playgrounds. The idea is to let kids hurt themselves, but without permanent injuries or death.

So, for example bruises are ok, broken bones are tolerated if it is a rare occurrence, getting impaled is definitely not ok, so you can build a platform you can fall from, but if it is high enough, put something to break the fall, and make absolutely sure there can't be a sharp stick in the way. Minor cuts and splinters are ok, so you can use rough materials, but chopped off fingers are not, so be very careful with mechanisms.
Delta.chat (https://delta.chat/en/) has a decent enough UI for using email as an IM service actually.

This is my experience too, but I think it possibly corresponds to the transition to mid 20s and adulthood, where a lot this contact drops off anyway (not that it should).

I'd be interested to know what it was like for older adults, but my guess is that a lot of them weren't using AIM that way in the first place.
> It could even be better to not know and argue about it for the purpose of conversation.

This very concept is foreign to me, and having been in too many of these "conversations", I would rather leave entirely than sit through one. Figure out the answer to the question and switch topics.

There's billions of topics to talk about (and that's without getting into polarizing topics like religion, sex, and politics), so why do we waste time arguing over trivia that doesn't matter and could be answered in seconds?
Plus like, there's the possibility of Secure Boot that makes your infected machine not boot if you do it wrong.

Evidence shows that there is a negative correlation between transmission and virulence, where the more virulent a virus is the less it spreads. I believe this is at least partially due to the fact that if it kills the host, it can't spread as far as if the host lives and keeps spreading. However, I believe that correlation is over the long run, and that there is plenty of evidence towards diseases that both spread easily and are deadly in the short run (smallpox, cholera, etc). Selection pressures seem to push viruses to be less deadly over time, but that's just it: over time.

Cholera is an interesting example of this because it relied on the fecal transmission route, where it would easily spread through tainted water. It didn't matter all that much if the hosts died, as long as it got into the water supply.
