While I'm glad that they took the time to hold support's feet to the fire over this, doing that sort of thing is almost certainly a waste of time.

Seldom will you find a support team who can understand a technical hardware problem like this, and even more seldom will you find a company that responds to this with anything other than "nothing we can do, sorry". You're not going to get the "Wow, that is our bad, we'll retool our entire production line to account for that issue that nobody else complains about and send you one as soon as it's ready, thank you" that you so desire.
I think if it isn't replicated by tomorrow, it's dead.
We only have structures like this due to the class system, where some people never shovel shit and some people do it all week long. A great suggestion for this incidentally brought up by Noam Chomsky in 1976 is to rotate people through these jobs, so everyone spends maybe two days a month on the task. People appreciate a little bit of difficult labor, it just sucks when you have to do it every day for survival.

> All a racist has to do to satisfy you is to perform their hate in silence

Nope, you've muddled intentional and unintentional impulses again.

In any case, I think there is a fundamental disagreement here. Between you and I. And between most of the country and those espousing this definition of racism. I had thought it was semantics, but I guess there are folks who believe slavery and implicit bias are moral equivalents.

We disagree, but I appreciated the discussion. Thank you.

I'm starting to feel like all of this is just a lost cause.

We campaign against some shitty bill. It fails to pass. Someone brings it up again the next session, and we have to do it all over again. Eventually, people get tired of fighting, and it passes.

Every time I've written to my Senator or Representative about something they support but I don't like, I get a form letter in response that just restates their existing position. I don't get the feeling that anything I do matters. And honestly, I'm doing the bare minimum here. I can't imagine how depressing all this must be for people who engage in actual activism around these issues.

Haven't watched the hearing, but when I've heard a breakdown of public comments over the past few months, what has struck me is how circuitous each statement has been. Person 1 high up in the food chain says that Person 2 told them there was something there, but Person 2 turns around and says either Person 1 or Person 3 told them. It feels like a lot of independent construction and circuitous logic, and the whole time I've found myself wondering about an end goal. Maybe this really is some gentle way of preparing the public, or maybe there are more incidents of things that the government can't explain so this is a PR campaign of sorts.

"Selling actual stuff" is why the Internet is awash in soulless SEO blog posts. The only reason to write them is to pull in search traffic from people looking for that term. And there's no reason to want to do that unless you want them to buy something.
Given how complicated and inconsistent the USB-C spec is, I’m still surprised that Apple chose it even though it’s so terrible.
Wow, I had no idea that lineup existed. Just started going down the YouTube rabbit hole. Thank you.
This is just me rambling but I think there's a simple explanation to Tumblr, Twitter and WeChat: Tumblr was a global app with English speaking userbase. Twitter and WeChat are de facto country-specific apps that Apple has no clear pictures on.

The latter two are "big in ___" apps that are hardly known anywhere else, namely SA, Japan, and China, to which anything HQ in California do will only cause unpredictable and unobservable, likely negative financial impacts. I'm from "Asia" but all I know about WeChat is about as much as that it's a brand with a logo, that's it.

Apple et al allows maximum leniency, budget and local decisions for those local apps because of that. "No one's using it anyway", only cash is coming in, so whatever happens there won't matter anyway, as long as the gig won't stop. Hell, if they need datacenter for all data to stay in China, so be it, if they need extra rapid payments to keep Shinjuku going, so be it.

Tumblr is different; they have US users and negative impacts can be readily measured. So they - its owner Yahoo! US at the time of its death - were not scared to do whatever.
I'm not muddling anything, I'm equating them. They are equally as bad, the latter possibly worse. As MLK says in his "Letter from Birmingham Jail":

> First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

We may have a fundamental disagreement, but I'll go ahead and stand with Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.

Even libertarians argue that intellectual property is not real property and is incompatible with capitalism. Removing government-mandated IP restrictions is not "removing property laws", it is freeing innovators to copy what they hold in their hands without government intervention. They own the property they purchase or produce but they don't own the intangible ideas behind the thing.

Everyone who is making the snarky comments have never had an encounter with a UAP.

My brothers and some of my friends had them twice when we were kids in New York.

You all are calling us a distraction, but it is absolutely nowhere in the news. If it was this distraction, it would be headline on CNN. But it’s not.

That's cool, the correction was minor. The main point was that the lioness was, in fact, a boar. Boars are not an uncommon sight in certain parts of Berlin. Reality was a lot less strange than what the alert and subsequent news initially made it seem.

Yes it's annoying but still don't get what the fuss is.

You said it's because they don't care about the bigger picture. But the bigger picture is they are doing everything to cut cost and adding extra chips is not worth it. They aren't exactly hailed for their built quality.
there is also paperWM.

what i can't see with any of them is how to combine tiling of smaller windows with fullscreen windows. basically i want the tiling to only apply to windows that are not fullscreen, and i want to be able to switch between the tiled layer and the fullscreen layer. even better, if there are multiple tile layers.

one could implement that with workspaces of course but gnome puts all workspaces in a row , which makes this difficult. i really want all apps related to a task on one workspace and switch between multiple tile sets. paperWM can scroll, that may help. or i could try to combine it with something like wsmatrix that puts workspaces in a grid.
Things easily break even between minor releases of the same system.
I don't think you're giving much credit to people who were programming multi-processor systems at that time. As @mhh_ points out, the vast majority weren't writing code that was multi-threaded at all. Of those who were, fewer still were writing the kind of code that was so tightly synchronized that these issues would even surface. OS engineers (such as myself) and others who did so were typically much closer to the hardware and aware that it was a rapidly evolving field, so they knew to watch out for these kinds of land mines. If you want to cite "surprising results" and "odd mysterious crashes" try making it more than conjecture by providing some data. I was there and such things didn't seem particularly more common on Alpha than elsewhere.

Years later, as I said somewhere in this thread, I worked with another (MIPS-based) chip designed by some of the Alpha engineers, with the same predilection for weak memory ordering. In about two years, I found three bugs related to missing memory barriers - one in NFS, one in NBD, and one in Lustre (which isn't even part of the kernel). Yes, they were a pain to debug. Part of the reason is that they would occur so damn rarely. Damn near 100% of the time the "vulnerable" code would run just fine anyway. Writing reproducers was a serious challenge. More importantly, these bugs were dwarfed by bugs of many other more familiar types - use after free, deadlock, protocol errors, etc. Any bugginess attributable to the weak memory model was noise.

So yeah, Alpha's performance was very real. Using hypotheticals to bash it in pseudo-retrospect seems uncharitable, to say the least.

> Who exactly are you to judge what she should or shouldn't be proud of ?

It's not about what "she" specifically should be proud of. It's about all of us, employees and our relationship to management.

> She goes as far as adding a full explanation that you - conveniently - redacted

I literally said, "You should read it for yourself before commenting here. (Word count is 2413 in case you're wondering.)" So the comment about conveniently redacting seems a bit absurd.

> You do not have to share same work ethics as she does and you don't have to make the same choices.

Nobody who knows me has ever questioned my work ethic. But speaking of ethics, I feel that it's unethical for management to ask for, encourage, or condone this kind of needless personal sacrifice by employees. Management deadlines are nearly always totally arbitrary and only benefit management, not the employees.

I also noted that it's counterproductive, individually. You can't win a marathon by running a series of sprints.

> But you have absolutely no right to take it away from her or to dictate what she can be proud of or happy with.

You're making this way too personal. It's intended to be general advice, directed not toward Crawford, who isn't here (I don't think?) but rather to the readers of this comment. The problematic aspect of what Crawford said is the public glorification of needless sacrifice, not whether she specifically is (currently) personally happy or proud of it.

By the way, note that the infamous sleeping bag photo was infamous precisely because she posted it publicly for everyone, as some kind of model for work. And she was after all a manager, setting an example for others. It wasn't just a private photo she took for her album at home that she could look back on later and reminisce fondly about "the good old days".

Back in the 90s or maybe early 2000s, everyone was convinced that silicon was almost dead for high-performance chips like CPUs, and that we'd all be switching to GaAs (gallium arsenide) very soon. Turns out that GaAs wasn't that practical and silicon's limitations could be overcome, so we still use silicon today.

That depends on ones perspective; it was always possible to use `Transform:` and your own in-Account lambda to do whatever crazy stuff you wanted to the specified structure: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGui... ( and its friend https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AWSCloudFormation/latest/UserGui... ); two of the existing ones were AWS::Include and AWS::Serverless

however, that placed the burden upon the user to (a) ensure said lambdas were deployed, in every account, and (b) that the lambda worked reliably for all possible inputs

It'd be like if python started shipping with a binding to jq: great for the places where it's available, but otherwise you need to have a strategy for when it's not.

Beyond the hype, my organization finds that smart contracts are a good area for research in software security methods such as static and dynamic analysis. The reason is that smart contracts are very small compared to general codebases and have a lot of real risks linked to money.

For example, here [1] the thesis is that when TVL rises, the probability of being hacked also rises which means that at some point there is not budget that can scale to protect your TVL.

The required resistors are literally a tenth of a penny each ($0.0011/ea) on DigiKey[0], probably cheaper elsewhere. You need two of them. Two tenths of a single penny. Exway is charging between $350 and $1650 for their skateboards, from what I can see on their website.

I highly doubt this was done for cost reasons, even including the additional assembly costs, which for surface mount resistors would be very low. This feels like a design error, and I doubt the support emails went anywhere meaningful.

Even the Docker support team is confused by this. Most of why I stopped engaging is that they would reject a feature because it lead to dockerfiles they said were 'not reproducible', but were just as reproducible as many of the core features.

Which is to say, not in the slightest.

Every time you do something in a Dockerfile that involves pulling something from the network, you don't have reproducibility. Unless you pull something using a cryptographic hash (which I've never actually seen anyone do), the network can give you a different answer every time. The answer might not even be idempotent (calling it once changes the result of calling it again).

My argument was the same as yours. Virtually every dockerfile has an 'update' call as the second or third layer, which means none of the repeatable layers afterward (like useradd or mkdir) are actually repeatable. You're building a castle on the sand.

Docker images are reproducible. Docker builds are not. And that's okay, as long as everyone accepts that to be true. And if Docker contributors can't accept that then we are all truly fucked, until something else comes along that retreads the ideas.

This is exactly how I feel, and you put it very well. The one nice thing (to be fair, there's probably others but I haven't used it very long) about Win 11 is that your external monitor remembers your exact window configuration at the time of disconnection, so when you plug your laptop back in, you're good to go.

But the broader issue of spaced out information, wasted space, and a lack of *density* is what really drives me nuts. Cyberpunk promised me pic related (https://i.redd.it/dqipakmui3161.jpg) but we got tiling into preset (aka rigidly defined) configs instead. Note that I'm talking about the by-default experience.
Oh man, don't even try. Once you get in, there's no getting out of that maize.
It's fully unusable, and super frustrating.
It is the best solution. In my particular situation, at last.

Another solution would find a senior developer who can manage his dependencies properly, but I can't afford him. However, I can pay a junior ML developer wage and just throw what he develops in a docker image instead of wasting time and money on doing things the hard way for a prototype.

As engineers, we're supposed to be rational people, but unfortunately, we tend to forget that time and money are often happen to be the most important constraints we have to work around.

Do we know whether the mechanism was proposed before or after observing the results? If they found the material because of the theory, then I think it's very relevant.
The whole point of the post is that they didn't even have to add an extra chip -- just a single resistor. It's not even a cost-cutting behavior, it's just a simple mistake.
Unfortunately there are some topics that would be genuinely interesting to discuss, but which the HN community just doesn't handle well.

IMHO the best approach is to just try to spot those threads early, and maybe find other forums to discuss them [1].

Since it's somewhat related to the topic, does anyone have a recommendation for where to buy USB 3.0 or 3.1 is cords is that are relatively inexpensive? I've gotten burned by Amazon too many times to trust.
Yep. A linker in the best case would run as fast as cat. Paste the binaries together, done. Disk I/O was a problem back when we used spinning rust but less so now.

What takes time is rewriting stuff as you go. Running the relocation tables to insert addresses into the code is cheap. Deadstripping sections is fairly cheap, deadstripping individual basic blocks within functions takes a lot more analysis and thus time.

Deduplicating constant strings is a good idea but involves streaming them all into a hashtable of some sort. Maybe you want them to share common suffixes, more work.

Deduplicating, deadstripping, rewriting debug information takes time. Debug builds can feature many gigabytes of dwarf to rewrite.

Oddly enough that the linker is scriptable, as in you can give it a program that it interprets, doesn't seem to be a significant cost. Probably because the script in question is quite short and somewhat limited in functionality.

Historically lld was very fast because it didn't bother doing any of the debug munging or other deduplication. Lld ran fast but the output binary was big.

I'm several years out of the linker performance game now so don't know the current status. In particular I don't know where mold or lld are in terms of quality of output vs their own performance.
The "mostly-slavery-free North" was where the industrialised (that is, high-value-add) cotton-processing factories and mills were located.

It may not have harboured slaves, but it was definitely profiting by them.

And early stages of industrialisation, most notably the cotton gin, extended the viability of slave-based plantation labour by several more decades, according to extensive accounts.

Except for niches, one is not going to unseat SQL as the primary de-facto standard relational query language unless the replacement is significantly better, not just slightly. Unless a fad storm kicks in, being slightly better is rarely enough to unseat an established standard.

As far as SQL competitor candidates, my personal favorite is SMEQL. It's more composable and uses tables for many operations instead of dedicated commands and syntax, making it more uniform where a handful of idioms do all the work instead of lots of specialized stuff for each task, like what SQL does.

Check out the Rubberduck Extension [1] for VS Code. It's not super well publicized but I've actually found it basically hits a perfect middle ground between copilot and copy/pasting into ChatGPT. You can give it a prompt to edit code and it will stream the answer from GPT-4 into VS Code and show you a live diff with your current code. It's actually pretty well done, I use it dozens of times a day for even super minor things (I'm lazy).

Actually, it looks like this project is fairly similar in some ways. A little more full featured.
