Yeah, 3 days in the office is impossible to beat, they most be really desperate! /s

Now talking seriously, Software Engineering is a great career, probably the best out there. You don't need to work for anybody to make money if the big problem is the job market. You can literally create your job with a few months work. Now is every person capable of it? No, many don't have the grit and discipline. But that is not tech's fault. Is a people's issue. To call it Squid Game to get a 6 figures salary working from home is insanity.
Perhaps she knew that we would read her words, all of these centuries later, and see her for the bright, creative human being that she was. I hope she would take some solace knowing that we of the future see her condemnation as unjust, stupid and evil.
One option is to work at a place with longer development horizons and where the top priority isn't getting the latest feature into production by end of day Friday. Research institutes and R&D departments at huge companies (possibly even companies outside the software engineering sphere) for example operate very differently than companies/departments that directly ship software. Of course these places have other problems and they may not necessarily be 'better', but it is at least they are different problems in my experience, and personally I've found them preferable.
I want to, ideally, run Arch and have a gpu pass-through Windows installation in a VM, for games only.
There, it can do all the spying and malware it wants, I'll have snapshots, I might even use a M$ account to sync my save games to their cloud.

But last time I tried, it didn't work very well. That was a few years ago already.
I'm not sure what the current state is and if I'd need more than 1 GPU.
I could imagine running Linux with the CPU's GPU only and having the Nvidia GPU (because let's be real, who uses AMD for gaming, nv uses less energy to achieve a nicer looking result) dedicated for the Windows VM.
I remember using these tools, and I also remember the terrible user interface.

It definitely felt more like a piece of art than something you are supposed to work/interact with. Nice to lok at and good for an initial "Wow!" effect, but not really usable for more than 5 minutes.

I wasn't aware of all those design decisions that whent into Kai's tools, and quite frankly, I'm amazed because when you actually used it, it just felt clunky and badly put together.

Ask HN: Do you find this app or startup idea valuable?
The idea is - an inbox app like Gmail, where you can create multiple email ids like username.id1@zmail.com, username.ide2@zmail.com and so on. Each id will be single purpose only, meaning it is only capable to receive emails from one sender like ...@amazon.com. If someone else sends email to that id, it will simply be dropped. It will be a receive only app with no email sending feature. It will have a Whatsapp like UI and chat like bubbles where emails from the sender will be summarized. Further, financial insights can be provided based on the emails in future.

What do you think about it? Would you willing to use it for free or a small fee?
Obviously the point of cloud streaming is not that it's better for the consumer, but that it gives the provider more power.

You answered yourself. If you are are searching zoos and cute animals more often than programming stuff, "python egg" will return dramatically different results. This is not a theoretic possibility, it is the way google works (which I think is unfortunate).
This is not so very 'of course'. There is lots of documentation nazis out there forcing you to document that get_height 'gets the height'.
Because Morello is an experimental platform, only a small number were manufactured. They are/were allocated mostly to people involved in early stages CHERI R&D and, AFAIK, none were made available to the general public. [That said, I don't know whether there are still some unallocated machines!] One can fully emulate Morello with qemu. While the emulator is, unsurprisingly, rather slow, I generally use qemu for quick Morello experiments, even though I have access to physical Morello boards.
> Imho, there is never enough documentation. Even if it's outdated, it's still better than reading directly the source code and guessing everything from scratch.

Hard disagree here. If the docs differ from the code, I'm left to figure out which is right.

Too much documentation often leads to people writing pseudo code in English. We don't let you just copy and paste blocks of code into other blocks, why would we let you copy code into English? It's the exact same problem.

Documentation should be expressing something you need to know about the code, not narrating it line by line.

The GeforceNow client has its own delay in processing your input, just like the game does. So you have to wait for your input to be captured by the client, processed, sent to their servers, where it has to be processed again, then given to the game process and then used there. And then the visual output has to be sent back, where again it has to be processed and displayed, with all the latency of the local client and display device.

Like, I work in video games for a large publisher - we have done a lot of testing on this technology, both on GeForce Now and our own internal solutions. Without getting into details I probably shouldn't talk about - the lowest latency you can see when streaming is around 150-200ms, and that's in absolutely perfect conditions where you have a data centre super close to you. Unfortunately, 150ms is visible to your average player, and in our testing the enjoyment of the game is directly related to what kind of game it is - strategy games, action games, even driving games? Mostly fine, not really noticable. First person shooters? Extremely noticable, in our testing there is a noticable drop of player performance in online PvP when streaming. We have been experimenting with improving it(by giving the player just a touch of auto-aim assist when they are streaming), and we were able to bring the numbers back up to where they were for non-streaming players. But then you get into a debate about whether that is fair or not.

Either way, like OP said - you can't beat physics.
The main reason I bootstrapped my, now defunct, attempted start-up. I didn't want a boss, so why would I take on something even worse, an investor? I wanted to be able to settle for a profitable boutique kind of thing, only a small number of investors would be fine with that and I had neither money nor time in finding those.

You nailed it with your last sentence, VC nacked companies can simply out spend competitors, upsetting markets by virtue of having, or rather having had, endless money. And then some still go bust. And there is a complete generation of people thinking that is just normal, a good thing even, and see funding as a success for a company. Hopefully that changes now, but we'll see I guess.
New brain atlases will unlock mysteries of the human mind
Designing with accessibility in mind makes software better for everyone, period.

You design a clear, visible, distinctive scroll bar and buttons? Boom, you've catered to everyone with bad vision (for any reason: from blindness to eye surgery), reduced motor skills (for any reason: from arthritis to old age to hand injuries), non-technical users (so they don't have to hunt around the interface hoping to discover hidden features).

And this goes for everything in software.

Disability is a spectrum, and you yourself will be disabled in one way or another, multiple times, during the course of your life. Be it from old age, surgeries, injuries, strain from sport or mundane tasks like holding a baby.
In a language without units of measure, `get_height` should be documented!
Smart phones are fundamentally inferior for playing games on than consoles or PC, that hasn't stopped gaming on mobile from being huge, they're mostly just different games than you get on PC/console.

Developers will adapt their games and how they play to suit the medium based on the mediums popularity.
They can't prevent it, but they can certainly disavow it. By explicitly saying they don't support it or by making it harder to sell to the next person like region-locked or console-locked media.

I guess I'm surprised they don't! As the other commenter points out they have a page dedicated to this. I conflated their stance on secondary sales with their hardware and software self-service hostility.
If I accidentally enable overwrite mode I suppose this would be useful to disable it quickly

> scientists have revealed highly detailed atlases of the brain - published in a suite of 21 papers on October 12 [link at the bottom of this post] [...] These new studies ... part of the US-led BRAIN Initiative ... connecting brain anatomy with cell function ... tackle how our brains operate at a cellular level ... at various scales - from genes, to cells, to cellular structures, to larger brain regions, and finally the brain as a whole [Content found as sparse in the submitted article]

> The BRAIN Initiative aims to present its first complete atlas of the mouse brain in early 2024, with the human brain to follow in later years

Further (much more detailed and organic) information at https://www.nature.com/articles/d41586-023-03192-2

> Researchers have created the largest atlas of human brain cells so far, revealing more than 3,000 cell types — many of which are new to science [...] this is the first atlas of the whole human brain at the single-cell level, showing its intricate molecular interactions

Press release from Salk Institute at https://www.salk.edu/news-release/a-new-era-in-brain-science...

> Researchers ... analyzed more than half a million brain cells from three human brains to assemble an atlas of hundreds of cell types that make up a human brain in unprecedented detail

> Every cell in a human brain contains the same sequence of DNA, but in different cell types different genes are copied onto strands of RNA for use as protein blueprints. This ultimate variation in which proteins are found in which cells—and at what levels—allows the vast diversity in types of brain cells and the complexity of the brain. Knowing which cells rely on which DNA sequences to function is critical not only to understanding how the brain works, but also how mutations in DNA can cause brain disorders and, relatedly, how to treat those disorders

> In 2021, Ecker and Behrens led the Salk team that profiled 161 types of cells in the mouse brain, based on methyl chemical markers along DNA that specify when genes are turned on or off. This kind of DNA regulation, called methylation, is one level of cellular identity. // In the new paper, the researchers used the same tools to determine the methylation patterns of DNA in more than 500,000 brain cells from 46 regions in the brains of three healthy adult male organ donors. While mouse brains are largely the same from animal to animal, and contain about 80 million neurons, human brains vary much more and contain about 80 billion neurons

> At the same time, the researchers also used a second technique, which analyzed the three-dimensional structure of DNA molecules in each cell to get additional information about what DNA sequences are being actively used. Areas of DNA that are exposed are more likely to be accessed by cells than stretches of DNA that are tightly folded up

This sounds like a good SF backstory, for a yarn about Unobtainium.

Vs. "those long-distance density estimated were wrong" sounds far more reasonable an explanation for the supposed uber-dense asteroids.
You do outsourcing for one and one reason only: you need to throw warm bodies onto a problem for cheap. Everything else is expensive, and any other reason is sugar coating. Having inbound QA? Expensive! Checks on firmware? Expensive! Exhaustive testing before shipping firmware so that edge cases are cared for before the machine is in the field? Expensive! Get rid of it all! Just look at our bottom line grow.

You know what else is expensive? You need to troubleshoot some gear but you can't get in easily. Sophisticated procedures for getting into a router take time and skill to implement and to use, so they are, yes, you guessed it right: Expensive! What is not expensive? Having a surefire set of shared credentials that will work on bloody anything, that's what!
that's impossible, unless you ride at 3 km/h

The last part I agree with - clearly KYBER isn't trivially broken if this is the best he can come up with.

What doesn't seem clear to me, and I'd appreciate if you could tell me why you think differently, is that KYBER-512 isn't as strong as it was targeted to be. I find djb's argument on this narrow point fairly convincing: KYBER-512 isn't as secure as AES-128 (by the methods used to measure "secure" in this competition).

Given that I already generally use AES-256, why shouldn't I treat this the same way as AES-128?

That is, "it's probably fine-ish, but if you have the power, just go one bigger".
It's neither #1 in the console business nor does it have the most popular PC storefront.

"Stock market" is normally used to refer to shares of public companies traded in stock exchanges. They don't need to make public announcements to communicate with private investors. There will be time to make the IPO attractive when the IPO comes.

This is a quote in the article: "It's clear that our customers want us to be a profitable company they can rely on to solve important problems in their supply chain." I'd say they are the main audience.
This happened to me, and was one reason why my parents pulled me out of school and I taught myself at home with a standardized curriculum.

It was only 1 kid in the class, but he was ruining the entire class almost every day, and the administration didn't want to risk the political fallout.

It was great to be able to learn as fast as I wanted with no distractions. Sometimes what has to be learned wasn't interesting and I didn't go any faster at it, but I did pull ahead in math by a couple years by 8th grade.
I don't agree with a lot about Uber's business model and how it treats its drivers but I have very little or no sympathy for French taxi drivers. This comes from years of running events in France that attracted an international audience. Taxi drivers would regularly massively over charge arriving delegates. For a €70 metered fare they'd insist these unsuspecting foreigners pay fixed fares of between €100-200. That racket was rife for disruption and we were happy when taxi apps appeared and treated customers much more fairly.

Well...........there is an argument made often that there are a LOT of people in the world(estimated to be at least 2-3 billion) who don't have access to a proper gaming device and who can't afford one. For them "just playing on a console/PC" is really not an option. But.....smartphones and crappy tablets are widespread, even in the poorest regions of the world it's not uncommon to see them - all of these devices could be used for streaming games that these users could literally never experience otherwise.

A cynic would say that it's another way to extract whatever little money these people have. An optimist would say that this technology can bring video games and their joy to people who would never be able to experience them otherwise.

but very few do it, given that they are not forced to keep it functional, unlike here, where I live, where your car has to pass a state mandated safety inspection every 2 years.
> Tech unemployment is still extremely low

How do you know that? Does the government know that or does it only count those applying for unemployment 'benefits', which i) aren't paid for long and ii) don't even suffice to pay the rent if you live in the S.F. Bay Area. I'd rather think that most who lost their job in the tech industry moved on, i.e. work in a different sector or bide their time in an area of lower cost of living.
The thing that struck me when I visited Starbase was the fact the people at SpaceX are very much the "move fast and break things" types, in a good way rather than the shitty hustler way. They were working on proving things with the least amount of investment possible and then iterating, the same way we build software. Part of engineering is failure, other space companies seem afraid of failure while SpaceX embraces it, no doubt that emboldens their engineers further to push where others would be happy to settle.

The culture seems very pedal to the metal but otherwise good, as in engineers are empowered to do engineering rather than bogged down in minutia. To me that is the recipe for success, attracting the good engineers and then letting them do engineering.

Booting a minimal upstream kernel on a Raspberry Pi 3
Because Microsoft's money makers are Azure and Office 365, so they can care less what OS people use, as long as they pick Azure.

The same Microsoft that had a lawsuit with Sun regarding J++, which lead to the creation of .NET, now has its own Java distribution based on OpenJDK, hired several OpenJDK contributors, and is one of the companies doing the work of ARM support.

Also collaborates with Red-Hat in the Java support for Visual Studio, one of the few languages alongside Python, C#, PowerShell and TypeScript that have tier 1 support from Microsoft.

Incidently is why the Windows development experience has gotten worse, with most of the work done by interns and people without background in Windows developer culture.

If only some of the money used for Activision/Blizzard acquisition was used for Windows teams instead.
That these standards are written with the interests of Microsoft in mind. And that the only Linux-side implementation of them is systemd, where an Microsoft employee is the head maintainer. So if you want any of the new "features" you will need to have a linux/systemd/GPT/UEFI stack.

Smells alot like embrace, extend. Extinguish comes next.
Just a note from the sites FAQ: the data is actually showing places where airplanes report LOW NAVIGATION ACCURACY via their ADS-B transponders.

Since planes tend to default to INS navigation with use GPS, GLONASS, Galileo or other systems to supplement the drift, it may be subject to certain data skew (e.g. if there's an area on the world where most planes aren't equipped with GPS navigation system, have poor quality navigation tech or you might be seeing "jamming" where there might just be a common place on airline route where INS drifts).
