I've read an earlier edition. I would say it is more of a overview of the different concerns and design patterns that someone doing parallel programming would find useful. For instance, it gives you an overview of how CPU caches work, and uses that to motivate why doing synchronization is expensive. It uses this to both motivate doing as little synchronization as possible, and giving you ways to design systems which don't need (as much) synchronization, as well as to explain why RCU works so well as long as you don't need to update the synchronized structure often.

If you want a good overview, I'd recommend reading the roadmap in section 1.1. Also, I know a 600 page book (400 pages if you exclude appendixes) is a bit long, but I really enjoyed both the material presented and the style in which it was written. Hopefully that makes the length feel a bit less intimidating.
Reddit acquired 3 companies in 2022, although they might all be pretty small operations:

Interesting. In Chinese 合 (hé) can mean whole, but also pronounced gê (I don't have e with 3rd tone character) it can mean a measure of grain or 100ml.

公合(gōnggê) can be used to be specific here.

Neeva, founded by a former Google exec, built a search engine that had no ads and no tracking. No surveillance capital. They just shut down because no one wanted to pay for it - hence the idea that 99% don't care about surveillance capital enough.

For home loans, even non recourse, it is not a purely financial transaction. Defaulting on a loan stays on your credit report for a while and might not only hit your chances of getting another loan, give a (small) hit to your job search (especially if you apply to a company outside US that would run a credit check), etc.
Caps lock is great when you are typing one-handed.
I feel a kind of sadness for the author.
Has JWST finally found the first stars in the univese?
I was baffled by the lack of actual troubleshooting. Ok, so graphs show increased failures, so what? What is happening? Spike of inbound traffic? Hardware failure? Increased connection pauses because of DNS? Database migration mishap? Without at least understanding the underlying reason on the high level restarts and version rollbacks may not help or may even aggravate the situation. Am I missing anything here?
I like dynamic typing too which, contrary to popular belief, doesn't mean I don't care about types. I may start using this when it is released, though, we shall see. Otherwise, don't worry, it will definitely be optional. Elixir is all about backward compatibility and not changing too much. There's an often-uttered reminder when proposals come up on the Elixir forums that there is very little chance there will ever be a v2.0. Anything's possible, of course, but it would be years away.

You probably mean nitrous oxide (N₂O). Both are sold in small aluminum canisters for culinary use. CO₂ is acidic and is quite unpleasant to inhale. N₂O is listed in the article (Table 1) as one of the inhalant anesthetics.

I had the experience of going through both IV general anesthesia (presumably propofonol) and syncope in the last two weeks and for me propofonol was much faster getting in and out of: like falling asleep and I woke pleasantly remembering a dream. Syncope for me was much harsher: tunnel vision as a passed out and I came by initially not remembering where or who I was, like my brain did a cold boot.
Part of the acquisition of hn-fu is understanding and using archive sites.
At the framework level, maybe (but then, it's userland, anything can happen there). At the fundamental level of the language itself, I don't think so.
Well, both have the same access to the SSL/TLS web: almost nil. With W95 on the 486 with 32MB of RAM and a de-IE4'ized W98 both would be virtually the same except for the speed.

A Pentium II would be a better example for both: Not too old, not too recent. Yet it suits as retro and a usable machine. Enough to render some XVID videos at 360p and 420p with a good video card. Slackware, NetBSD and lot of distros would still run fine. TLS under Lynx and Gopher would still work, the same as a Gopher client.
the PDF I opened was almost 1000 pages. And yes, from what I'm viewing in the Table of Contents, this is more of a comprehensive textbook covering almost every corner of the topic. I don't think it's meant to be read linearly (ha), nor is it expected to be binged in a few large sittings. Definitely meant for professionals or very motivated students more than a general hobbyist.

There is reassurance in knowing you did what you could in a day, especially when you give yourself boundries to make sure it's sustainable. Such boundries should make sure you have space to do the work, but also that you are happy and not wearing yourself down, have good balance on other things in life. Long term goals take time, burning yourself out is pretty rapid.
I’m also Spanish, living in Germany: the Spanish keyboard is actually rather nice, with it it’s easy to type Spanish, German, French, Italian etc. without even changing the layout. It’s even easier to type French than on a French azerty keyboard, but that’s a particularly bad one.

The German and Swedish keyboards mentioned above are rather bad for programming (in the German case, even for typing ß/ss): they have AltGr combinations at the top row, the numbers 7, 8, 9, 0 for instance to get the brackets and braces {, [, ], }.
In the Spanish keyboard they are right of P and Ñ (; in US-English) and those positions are much easier to reach while pressing AltGr.

In addition, in the Spanish keyboard the plain Latin letters are in the standard qwerty positions.

After having had to deal with some terrible keyboard layouts over the years I’ve come to appreciate the Spanish one very much. It’s clear that a lot of thought went into designing it.
Honest question from a backend developer:

Is it still necessary to use JQuery in 2023 instead of vanilla js? I always had the impression JQuery was more useful to decouple you from the pain of multi-browser development in the 2000s dark ages of browser standards adoption.
The issue is that despite usability of Cadence being so much more confusing than Altium, you'll find that at some point when a design gets big/complex enough, Altium won't be able to handle it. This means that you've got companies who have to then move up from Altium to Cadence or Mentor to manage that complexity. If anyone is going to get into PCB design today (and it's an excellent field to get into, many people retiring and you can get a good job with just an AS degree) I would still recommend learning Altium before the other guys due to its popularity. I'm surprised to hear your thoughts about EMA though - I did a few webinars for them a couple of years ago and thought they had a great push to support customers. Perhaps I just didn't have the same perspective as the customers though.

The one thing that most surprises me about Altium is that they've yet to get into meaningful simulation territory (post-layout PCB extraction). This is the biggest feature holding them back from competing with the enterprise tools in my opinion. I was hoping for some continued collaboration with Simberian after the impedance calculator came out but have yet to see anything further.
Thanks, skimmed a bit of the first half but will get into it more after my work day.
This is great! I think the rp2040 is moving towards being a very universal (and capable) platform for tinkerers who might have once reached for an Atmel based Arduino or an ESP32.

Did you subscribe to Neeva?

It was a search engine developed by an ex Google exec. It had no ads, no tracking. It required a subscription to use. Most people who used it said the search results were great.

It shut down because no one wanted to pay for it.
Sadly also true for most MSM outlets today.

> Plenty of experts argue that anyone who wants to develop a skill, play an instrument, or lead their field should start early, focus intensely, and rack up as many hours of deliberate practice as possible. If you dabble or delay, you’ll never catch up to the people who got a head start. But a closer look at research on the world’s top performers, from professional athletes to Nobel laureates, shows that early specialization is the exception, not the rule.

Physician here, and I cannot emphasize this enough. To the point where I actively avoid most medical/healthcare threads - it’s oppressive to contribute.
I remember feeling that way too but had forgotten about it! Wow, what great life lesson I nearly missed, thank you! It's never too late (well, usually not)
We hated the hassle of manually cleaning up data in HubSpot and Salesforce so we built a tool to do it for us. We upload our CSV file and the tool sends us back a report on how "dirty" our data is and merges duplicate leads, accounts, or opportunities. Hope this helps other CRMers and cuts down your Marketo/Eloqua storage costs as well.
Because millions of mature packages and libraries already use CommonJS. If we have to rebuild the JavaScript ecosystem from the ground up we might as well do it in a different language.
It depends. Window or floor units that are portable are not usually heat pumps. They use a different cycle with the refrigerant. Ductless splits and central air are often heat pumps.

It's quite rare for problems to be dominated by hot loops in the same way that matrix multiplication is.

Think about something like speeding up a compiler or a web server or a spreadsheet. There's no 50-line function that you can spend a few hours optimising and speed up the whole thing.

That's part of the reason why Python programs (except maths heavy stuff like ML) tend to be so slow despite everyone saying "just write your hot code in C". You can't because there is no hot code.
Are you using automatic1111, do you have the -low vram setting checked?

Just to be clear, I can also make 512x512 with CPU, so you basically just need to have the correct config of the .bat file.

I haven't used EasyEDA, but I've seen many schematics built in EasyEDA and I'm not impressed.

Rather than having a carefully hand-built symbols library, EasyEDA seems to have just autogenerated symbols, where the pins are all in order from 1 to n. This is not good for schematic readability & fails to teach folks good schematic layout conventions.

Poor schematic quality could be because EasyEDA is mostly used by noobs, but I think it's worth it for even noobs to use KiCad. It's not too hard to export the files JLCPCB needs.

It's not about actual profitability, it's about what you can convince an investor is the potential future profitability.

Merely by recording an actual profit, you have shown your hand to the investor, who can now estimate what your ceiling is. And it's never going to be as much as what it was when profits were merely hypothetical.
Then you can get an LLM company to easily scrape Reddit for $5 instead of $100000. The main reason for this change is to monetize the usage, not the access.
From memory, yes. At least better, since SVB had an unusual high amount of uninsured deposits and Edit: other banks have more short term investments to cover withdrawls that were marketed to market, meaning they were more like cash equivalents than the long term stuff SVB had to sell at huge losses. And those losses kind of killed SVB.

Likewise. Had I taken it seriously at 16 when I started I'd be a significantly better guitarist. Instead of noodling actually practicing important concepts in a fundamental way that matters to improving. Music theory like keys and chord progressions, triads, scales (to some extent), timing and rhythm, etc.

You can certainly "practice" this stuff, but if you sit down, even for 10 minutes with a real deliberate intention it'll matter way more than noodling. Present me is kicking myself for being stupid when I was younger.

Why is capitalism only creating homeless encampments in San Fran and not generally in the US? Maybe it’s not capitalism at fault here but a government that is unwilling or unable to supply standard social safety nets like homeless shelters and addiction therapy.
That paper isn't robust evidence, it's the kind of joke quality that typifies masks-work papers actually. RCTs are how you try to decide whether a medical intervention works, they're considered the gold standard for a reason.

Problems with this paper:

1. It's just a study of public data so should be trivially replicable, but they picked data points "via Microsoft Excel’s random number generator function" so it's non-replicable by design. Right up front this makes it incompetent work because there'd be no way to detect P-hacking.

2. Because it's not an RCT they can only show a correlation, not a causation, yet their claims are causal. An obvious confounder is that going out with a mask is no fun so you'd expect people to socialize more in places without a mandate, yet this isn't mentioned.

3. The effect size is tiny: ~4 cases a day! In counties with tens of thousands of people! This is NOT how mask mandates were advertised to the population.

4. "We did not record compliance with mask mandates". Yes I'm sure the residents of places like Anderson County Tennessee followed public health orders meticulously.

5. They ignore all the contradictory evidence.

Again, I cannot stress this enough, we know mask mandates don't work because of the times they were introduced with no change in case trends. Here's a single example:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/FPHy4ZoUYAIsYbt.jpg:large

Because the claim is "mask mandates always reduce transmission", it only takes one counter-example to disprove the claim. There are hundreds of charts like that one, but only one is required. That's the nature of falsifiability.

To conclude that mask mandates work you have to be able to explain the times when they didn't. Crap studies like this one (cited 3 times, well done for finding it) are produced by academia all the time, but they get ignored because they can't explain that, and the authors are invariably biased. These guys even cite a claimed 0.5% reduction in cases and call this "effective"! Imagine if governments had stated up front when imposing mask mandates for the first time, "we think this will be effective because it might reduce case counts by half a percent". What would people have thought of the sanity of this cost/benefit tradeoff, exactly?

What does this have to do with the post you're replying to? I would suggest starting a new HN post if you want to talk about VC cash.
You cannot, 99% of real life applications is ususing it. Jest only support esm as experimental, typecript added support very recently. Most people use sytax but modules are transpilled to commonjs.
some 40 years ago in the Netherlands we had no TV broadcast at night because people should be in bed.

I wonder if an ISP could forge a product like noon till 7 (or even 4am till 9am) when few people use bandwidth. Perhaps combined with a very slow connection the rest of the day.
HN comments about ML and AI are so obviously un- or under-informed to the point of pure fancy and speculation that I've simply stopped trying to engage with people who don't want to confront how ill-equipped they are to be involved in discussions on the topic. Sometimes they acquire some narrow bit of useful information but without wider context they end up quickly re-introducing bullshit to the discussion.

It's a very real chilling effect that's happened a couple times in different communities I've been part of. Typically the dilution of quality discussion comes after a sharp influx of what could be crudely labeled 'normies' (those entering a hype cycle anew from the outside with no prior experience) who have their own under-developed ideas and can't discern between experts and bullshitters in flattened discussion spaces.

What complicates the discussions so much is those normies' insistence on engaging in high school debate club tactics which are really just rhetorical devices designed (consciously or otherwise) to disguise logical fallacies as 140-character truth bombs.
Indeed. If you have a detailed, unambiguous, exact process that can resolve issues without a human having to make a judgement call .. why are you giving it to a human to execute?

The human's role in an ops situation is like that of the "safety driver" in self driving cars: do nothing most of the time, deal with emergencies, and take the blame for the failure of the system.

The ones that are going to push for long-term blackouts don't control 80% of the site. Whatever share they do control will probably be redistributed to other powermods pretty quickly, I would guess.
In my opinion the main reason the Soviet economy collapsed (apart from outside pressure), was the state owned sector wide monopolies.
It is also in the webs own nature to nurture monopolies for two seemingly contradictory reasons:
1.) Switching to a competitor is just a few clicks away. Moving everyone to the one that provides the most for free (dumping laws ignored as per usual).
2.) Switching to a competitor is hard, because all my social contacts use :thisService:. (now that the competition is dead, you turn the screw on the user: enact subscriptions, censor information, selling of private data, increase ad noise, etc.).
Not breaking up monopolies will inevitably lead to the same result - people will be exploited to the point of real harm and will eventually revolt.
Any companies that aren't Apple or Microsoft that compete with Google do not have healthy competition at all. What are you talking about?

Google uses www.google.com, the most popular website in the world, to push Chrome. Chrome, the most popular browser in the world, uses www.google.com as the default search engine. Google controls the largest ad marketplace and analytics tool, so they use Chrome to harm the ad landscape to stifle ad-tech competitors (third party cookies) and completely hinder the development of ad blocking software (FLoC and web bundles). Google uses Android, the most popular mobile operating system in the world, to push Google services and has Chrome as the default browser.

Anti-trust regulation must step in when a company uses its market dominance in one area to gain an advantage in another. Here, we have an entire feedback loop. We haven't had competent regulation of markets since the early 1900s.

Google needs to divest Doubleclick and Chrome. This is completely untenable.
Depends on what it does. A product can certainly create $50-100 a month of value for a customer, say Salesforce.com or Adobe’s Creative Cloud. Many don’t.

Ah, gotcha, I see what you’re saying. I guess I’d just say that you seem to be implying that the human instinct for perception of danger is not really tied to actual danger. And while one could argue that in the modern day that may be true, I think there’s something to be said for the fact that our instinctual ability to perceive even potential danger has gotten us this far.
Isn't this how Mastodon works?
That's enough for me to avoid this registrar for life.

When registrars requires users to divulge their private information, they become bound to fight tooth and nail to protect it for as long as they retain it.

I know that there are already on Fediverse, I'm there and I love this idea.

What I tried to say (but came out poorly), that Fediverse, even with big growth in last months, is still kinda small and most of those "creators" are still on centralized social media, so regular people are also mostly there.

it was clearly visible when Musk took over Twitter and mass migrations to Mastodon started. Some journalists and different public people moved there, so regular people also moved. But with time, some of the creators got bored and got back on Twitter, and outflow of ordinary people also was visible.
It could just be me self-soothing, but as a verified ADHDer who switches hobbies like I switch clothes, this book helped me feel less… bad? I guess? About my lack of specialization. But it’s fun that I have enough knowledge on lots of subjects to speak competently on them. The ones that surprise folks the most are usually photography and audio engineering/production, which I dabbled in for a long time.

Traveling in groups, or even a family of parents + teenager, requires more than one room and then Airbnb wins.

I agree that there are commercial rentals on Airbnb, some pretending to be private, but again it is a good solution for larger groups.
