The best professors I had in my time in university were the ones who didn't let technology get in the way of effective teaching. The ones who grabbed the newest technology were the ones willing to waste combined days of time (that's a big lecture hall; there could easily be hundreds of students in that class).

I guarantee the university would have let her expense a laser pointer, but those break, run out of batteries, and can be harder to place accurately or spot. Sticks just work.
We get lots of through traffic on our little residential road from drivers guided by apps. They do not stick to the speed limit either and roar past at 40mph in a 20moh zone. And pollute the air and create noise.

As far as I'm concerned, LTNs for residential streets make a lot of sense.

Sure, just like a necklace or a ring. Because that's what those expensive watches are: pieces of jewelry.

Yes, they can tell the time but there are better ways of knowing the time nowadays. Especially if you care about accuracy, a smartwatch connected to a smartphone connected to an atomic clock is more accurate than your Rolex.

So what's the point of jewelry? Fashion, and signaling your wealth mostly.

Oh, definitely .. but first I must amass an archive worthy of it ..
Do you have statistics of usage for Apple or Android watches? do people really use more than time on them? 10% ? 50% more? It would be interesting to have some data because even if people have plenty of other ways to get the time, I believe we still haven't invented a more efficient way that a watch with physical handles.
That's not a problem caused by the existence of the database, but by the presence of people abusing it. Prosecute those people instead of throwing out a legitimately useful tool.
A "spreadsheet" pre-dates computers. It literally was born from paper and pencil to record financial information and transactions in a ledger.

The innovation of the computer spreadsheet program is being able to put formulas in cells and auto-update and reference them elsewhere, all of which previously had to be done by hand (and with an eraser handy).

You'd be surprised - the average wage in China is about $1300/month, and in Hungary it's $1425/month.

Datadog did something similar to me at a previous company- they were miserable. We tried to use their credits from the AWS program, but then they kept adding more and more requirements to the program. They eventually wanted to go full MLM, telling us that if we want the credits we have to setup meetings with other startups we work with and that at least three (I believe) of the startups had to turn into customers.

It was absolutely ridiculous. I went from being eager to use their product to vowing never to recommend it again. They were just so condescending during the entire process too.
The economy is doing great though. If you are in the top 30%, things have been delightful the last few years.

The divide between the haves and the have-nots has exploded. Unfortunately its the haves who have the power (not just the 1%, its that 30%) and shoot down anything that will detract from their personal wealth or quality of life.

"I support affordable housing and new builds, but we cannot lose the character of our neighborhood!"

"I support a higher minimum wage, we are simply moving product sourcing overseas to maintain growth targets"

"I support taxing the wealthy, we only make $5M annually, go after those making $50M."

"I support taxing the wealthy, we only make $1M annually, go after those making $10M."

"I support taxing the wealthy, we only make $500k annually, go after those making $5M."

"I support taxing the wealthy, we only make $250k annually, go after those making $2.5M."

.....

The hard pill to swallow is that those who "made it" over the last few years are the ones who need to "take it" to balance things out.

But don't worry well compensated average HN reader, nobody is gonna allow your home value to drop much.
The chance now is expansion. Western Balkans, one day Ukraine.

Lots to figure out there though.
American headlines are like:

...because those two were the only balance-sheet relevant humans in the building. If you don't have to write off the debt when they die, why bother accounting for their lives at all?

> Designers like to cater to that segment of the market but it's not as profitable as the mass market.

Yeah, like with high fashion, Chanel's runway show is there to make sure people come to buy the perfume, the only high margin thing they sell. It never made a ton of sense with Apple because they're like Warhol's thing about Coke: there is no luxury Coca-Cola; everyone gets the same product because it's the best. Similarly, there's no better phone or smartwatch than the highest end made by the mass market companies.
If this were to become a major income for Facebook or any similar company, the economic calculus would change such that all the tracking becomes an expense that doesn't generate a return (since we can't use it to serve ads). If this program succeeds and goes the distance it will eventually come to someone's attention that they can cut their costs quite significantly by stopping tracking subscribers beyond the minimum required to implement the non-tracking.

It won't happen overnight and it won't happen if this is always a fringe use case not worth worrying about.

This also impacts some of the revenue analysis other people have posted. If Facebook makes a bit less money on someone but can cut their costs by more, Facebook can still come out ahead with a subscription. Obviously this won't be true right out of the gate because they won't be able to rely on it initially, but possibly in the future this may impact things.

I mean, after all, if you cut out the immense spend they're making to throw ads at you, how much would it actually cost to provide the "good" part of Facebook's services to an average user? It really isn't much and it continues to drop.

My prediction: only a very small subset of users will pay for that. Normal people care about their money more then they care about ads.

HubSpot charges ~$1,200 p/m for their professional Marketing & Sales plans.

I assume 25% off almost $15k annual with pretty much zero CAC is not far off from what HubSpot sales would offer themselves to a multi-year deal.
A budget Android phone convinced you to go to a manufacturer whose phones start at about double the price of that budget Android phone, for a basic (SE) phone? You'd prefer a Google-free Android, presumably because it would put you more in control, but you're convinced to go the exact opposite way to a completely locked-down platform?

It's a little bit confusing, is all.
I'm building something that solves this problem. I'd love to hear more about your use case, is it something you'd like to discuss or join a beta down the line?

If so, reach out at marc@ at my username .net
AWS will give you the extra money if you're bootstrapped, you just have to put a bit more effort into it.
I am probably missing something then, but as far as I can tell most of the value proposition of ipfs is the single universal dht. if you remove or fragment it now all you have is basically a worse bittorrent.

Most of the interesting things I want to do with ipfs involve the dht, any sort of file transfer is usually a secondary concern.
The more I learn about history of computing, the more it seems like DEC canceling of Project PRISM (and Project MICA) is at the center of a lot of history.

Project MICA would have yield a very modern OS that could have supported both Unix and VMS interfaces and it would be only natural to add whatever Windows would come up with in addition to that. That PRISM and MICA seem to be a real paths forward for everything from workstation to multicore servers. We later saw with Alpha what DEC was capable of and PRISM also did a lot of compiler work that was also used for the Alpha compiler later. But that was quite a bit later of course.

First of all, Cutler and lots of others went to Microsoft and developed Windows NT. Without Cutler, this project would look very different. Bill Gates was seriously arguing for having no virtual memory on this OS! Absolutely crazy to think what would have happened.

If DEC had expanded, rather then contracted its team there, it would have been quite a difference, with two major companies developing a next generation OS in the area. I think DEC was generally more popular for technical people then Microsoft.

Then for DEC, their workstation strategy went to MIPS/Ultrix witch was moderately successful but that whole thing was then killed in favor of Alpha/OSF1. This created a lot of bad blood by the people that were stuck on MIPS/Ultrix. DEC was one of the few companies that really went all in on the whole OSF stuff. Just like Sun, it might have been smarter to stick with BSD base rather then System V SVR4 base (love to hear from somebody inside about this topic).

Because PRISM didn't happen over the next couple years the VAX line suffered from pretty bad price to performance. Management also seem not committed to VMS as OSF and NT became big parts of their strategy.

So this post about running Windows NT+Alpha is really kind of a result of this canceling of PRISM/MICA.

I reading some books on DEC now but during some online browsing I found this interesting document from somebody at DEC from late 1994: https://www.dgregscott.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/11/demise...

Gorden Bell's Post Script on 'DEC is Dead, Long Live DEC' was also a great read.

> the EU is making their business model ilegal within the EU.

If the business model is built on and is unsustainable without pervasive and invasive tracking of people, no one should lose their sleep over it being illegal.
But never made by Apple themselves. This feels particularly special after their self-congratulatory comedy skit they included in their latest announcement event about how environmentally friendly they are.
This comment is kind of confusing; maybe others have had a different experience, but I live in the Midwest and what you're speaking of has been the norm for like the last decade. I've been driving for 13+ years and don't have any memories of being able to pump gas without first paying at the pump, or paying inside and my pump automatically stopping at the amount I paid for.
They’re interchangeable in the sense that you can't wear both at the same time.
I avoid them also because I read they have apps phoning home. Shame, the device looks like something I would enjoy.
How can you say that so confidently?
Floating point is terrible for decimals, as any number not consisting of only 0's and 5's after the decimal point does not have a precise representation.
What if you're counting ratios or differences? Those values are no longer precise. What if you're comparing those ratios or differences? That comparison cannot be trusted.

What if you have a NaN? Now all your comparisons return false and any values you calculate from the NaN will also be NaN.

There is no way you can confidently claim these issues won't show up in a production system without doing fuzzing and formal verification. Just use big integers, 64 bit integers can represent 18 quintillion (short scale) values, which if you're trading in fractions of cents should be enough of a range for the foreseeable future. 128 bit integers will always be enough.
GABA = depression is a crude oversimplification. Consider benzodiazepins, which cause an increase in GABA signalling as they are allosteric modulators. They cause a significant relieve in someone who is depressed.
Yes but I'm completely torn to whom and how I could actually say it. I don't know how people will react, if the key people approve, then I can say it, if they don't I have to keep it private to give it a chance at life.

There's a constant tearing conflict in me, between the status quo programming I've learnt over the years and how I'd want it to be.

It's been bubbling up for a while, everytime I touch a keyboard now I'm rapidly frustrated. It's also difficult to know if it could be finished before we switch to TPM/smaller/more locked down computers.

It is hideously conflicting to be working on privacy tech and need to be internet connected to survelliance at the same time, how can you even begin when teacher is peeking over your shoulder constantly?

It feels like death to share it, sorry!

I've got to get it going and then let it live on it's own terms. Anything else is a tainted experiment I guess.
There is a trick the fashion industries (jewellers, clothing manufacturers) pull: Convincing new wealth that they need to flex their wealth as much as possible otherwise people will think they're not wealthy.

They do this by presenting an aura of exclusivity to certain products, usually gating it by being expensive and hard to acquire. Trying to suggest to people that "if you buy this: it is a signal that you are wealthy! people will like you more!"

New wealth tends to fall for it, especially those that become wealthy quickly like lottery winners. This also disproportionately affects hip hop artists who become famous (or used to).

"Flexing wealth" is yet another way that people are trying to extort money from the gullible, but it's effective.

Because there are some signals of wealth that rich people could use to distinguish each other, but it's never flexing brands or bling.
$17k should be in the affordable range if you make $100k.

What do you mean by "cost"? They both have to pay the same price, one might have to spend less time to make that amount if that's your point, but that's kinda obvious.

On the other hand, if successful it would also mean a huge pivot for Meta to shift ad business to social media, something they barely have experience with.

Also, how would they prevent people posting ads from falling through the cracks?
Actual stdlibs tend to be magic. Take Rust's NonZeroU8. This type is an unsigned byte which isn't zero, but as a result the bit pattern where zero would fit is unoccupied and thus Option<NonZeroU8> is also a single byte. This allows code which has the safety and convenience of modern type safety where we can't screw up and forget that None isn't just zero - yet also the performance of a C-style sentinel trick where you just treat zero as indicating None, maybe using macros.

But, you can't make such types in your own Rust. If you wish you had NonSixU8, a type which can't be six, the only way to make it would be to base it on NonZeroU8 and use some sort of XOR scheme. The standard library is blessed with the ability to do this even though it's not available to mortals and that blessing is only open in practice to the actual standard library for the entirely practical reason that only they can co-ordinate with the compiler team to ensure it happens - if the Rust compiler re-defines how niches work the library team have to change NonZeroU8 at the same time.

So while the actual stdlibs get to do magic, which makes them stand out from a popular third party library like SDL or zlib, these "alternatives" don't.

If they provide all the same stuff as the "real" standard library that makes sense, but when they instead provide different stuff and they can't do magic I don't see any difference from any other library. Is SDL an "alternate stdlib" if we and some friends all use it all the time?
Imagine, a technology that a company can tell you is obsolete. Is that even a technology? The wheel isn't obsolete. The coal powered steam engine is, but that's not because someone says so, that's because it's just naturally no longer useful, other things have since been invented that are more useful for it's same purpose. Why not buy technology that's no longer useful to you when you decide that?
The XR line is their "rugged" line, it should be somewhat more resistant to falls than your average smartphone.

I'm guessing that's why they chose this model for this enterprise push.
Right, which is why I just specified what I think would be a reasonable change.

"I wonder how it could be legal, because not having free access is a negative consequence, isn't it?"

I think even in Europe the claim that any company has an obligation to serve you for 100% free, getting nothing out of it whatsoever, is not going to fly very far.

It isn't even a moral issue per se; it's just impossible. Companies need some sort of income. One can speculate on how nice it would be if that were not the case, but if it weren't we'd live in a very different world anyhow, beyond the realm of speculation (it isn't necessarily all better than ours in every way).
That 10% appreciate without me setting foot in it over around 18 months. I bought an imaginary home and it was just completed as of the 28th of September. I’m sure that rate of increase won’t continue, but yeah, the builds in the same area are now selling for a bit over 10% more.
Yes it is their job. That’s stupid. You’re an absolute stain on society if you sit around thinking “this guy seems innocent but I bet I can send him to jail if I convince everyone he’s a scary person”

We are confusing diligence and factual reporting with incentivized persuasion.
I'm afraid there is no such resource, but you may find cmd/compile/abi-internal.md[1] helpful

And in brief introduction, the `g` register is a non-scratch register, and is preserved by the go compiler, it stores the poitner to current goroutine (type `g` in the official runtime, a structure serves the similar purpose of TCB), and since all general purpose registers are thread local, the goroutine may enjoy some thread-local features without any thread-local requirements to the running environment.

My digital Casio from 1982 still works fine. So it’s not that it’s “electronic” that makes it obsolete. It’s because the vendor doesn’t care.
Do you have any data to back that up claim?

My experience with bootstrapped companies is that they are just as subject to pressure to grow as startups, and probably have a higher success rate.

Atlassian, Github, Mailchimp and Shopify are all companies that initially started as bootstrapped companies and, in my mind, stand out as some of the most sustainably successful startups of recent history.

There is a high correlation between people who opt out of ads by paying and folks advertisers want to target. This creates a dilemma which increases ad load on those who don't pay to make up the difference.

Also it's a personality fair: someone who is ok with driving drunk is a candidate for worse things. I for one think it's a good thing to keep their biometrics on hand for _WHEN_ that happens.
