Scratchpads are the memory equivalent of VLIW.

Processors can extract parallelism dynamically at runtime. They can also manage your memory automatically at run time. Better yet, they can utilize hardware resources instead of software resources. It is such an obvious win.

> Tesla integrations

I sometimes wonder if Tesla nerfed the homelink functionality in the car just to encourage people to pay monthly for the MyQ software solution. I gave up trying to get my Model 3 to open/close the door automatically for me because the range is just abysmal. Went back to using a push button remote on the visor that will open the door from half a block away.
Sorry, to clarify, I know CSPRNG APIs are exposed and what you use for safe randomness.

What I'm saying is that outside rare, extreme situations--maybe some HPC Monte Carlo simulation where you need gobs of randomness--you might as well use strong primitives for all your randomness, because they work well and are now plenty cheap for the use case with hardware support, etc.

The games to find a fast non-cryptographic function that passes enough statistical tests, etc., don't make as much sense to me when cryptographic randomness costs a few cycles a byte. There is not much upside to every standard library exposing a bad random generator that we have to warn people not to use. The handful of people that really need xorshift128+ can figure something out.

Maybe still a position you disagree with, but at least clearer without the sarcastic gloss.
One of the most productive teams I worked on spent time at the end of an iteration to look back on our previous estimates and re-estimate them. We got much better at estimating the remaining work we had, and knowing whether we would hit deadlines or not.
I think there's a terminology issue here. If the left and the right servers are never federated, then the experience will be homogeneous even if the fediverse is itself not. In other words, I probably shouldn't not have used the term homogeneous and stuck with "echo chamber". I was trying to avoid that term because of its pejorative connotations. It seems to me there is value in being exposed to what people you disagree with are saying, and there's value in not having all the drama that entails, which tends dominate all discourse. The fediverse by and large has chosen the later, no?
Ask HN: Are terms of service for hyperlinking enforceable?
I was advertised a service that includes a bunch of conditions for hyperlinking in its TOS[1].

Conditions like:

> If you are among the organizations listed in paragraph 2 above and are interested in linking to our website, you must notify us by sending an e-mail to info@ourboro.com. Please include your name, your organization name, contact information (such as a phone number and/or e-mail address) as well as the URL of your site, a list of any URLs from which you intend to link to our Web site, and a list of the URL(s) on our site to which you would like to link. Allow 2-3 weeks for a response.

And

> We reserve the right at any time and in its sole discretion to request that you remove all links or any particular link to our Web site. You agree to immediately remove all links to our Web site upon such request. We also reserve the right to amend these terms and conditions and its linking policy at any time. By continuing to link to our Web site, you agree to be bound to and abide by these linking terms and conditions.

Seem plainly unenforceable to me. Has anyone encountered similar conditions for hyperlinking before and is there any legal precedent for these actually being enforceable?

I would say that we want to know what crimes our government is convicting people of. Otherwise, you can have the government arrest and convict some one of "secret" charges, perhaps in "secret" courts with "secret" evidence. The convicted just disappeared.

I think we had something like that happen before, it caused a bit of upset.
I think you touch on the key issue which is the upstream scheduler does not have all the stats that you need to have confidence in the solution. You want to know how long threads are waiting to get on a CPU after becoming runnable.
On my current job, one guy took over a month to "write more tests for service X". He was finally fired (took over a year despite being clearly incompetent, and they had multiple opportunities to not renew his contract). After that, I saw that he had only written 6 tests, which were quick copy-pastes, and largely useless. Maybe this guy had some positive qualities, but writing code was not one of them.

Another guy on this small team writes garbage code. Like "if (condition) true else false". He does have some redeeming qualities, but has caused huge amounts of bugs and tech debt despite being one of the most senior devs on the team.

My code is not perfect, I've done the occasional bonehead maneuver and had dunning-kruger when I was young, but there is just no comparison. The majority of devs on this team are not shit; we know who the shitty ones are.

Maybe this is a different use case for code generators from what you have in mind? This isn't one-time upfront scaffolding, it's a recurring part of the development process.

When email templates are edited in the external service, you run the generator to pull in the latest structure, and it breaks your build with new type errors.

Y'all are arguing about a specific class of corporation while using the word "company". A company could be one guy with an LLC, and that one guy is obligated by no law or person to earn a profit as long as he can sustain the costs of the business. A great example of a company that appears to be operating at a loss for a very long time because of the beliefs of the founder/owner is Canonical.

If he cannot sustain the costs of the business then I guess you can argue that there's a law of nature in play saying that the proprietor has to earn some amount of profit just to exist, but if you're shaking your fist at Nature demanding that we produce the value that we intend to consume, well, good luck. You may as well be upset about the existence of gravity, or that food must be grown or hunted in order to be eaten.

A tangent but reminds me of the fact that even though we have millions of photographers with amazing cameras, most news and culture sites display images in low quality.

So most great photos will also never been seen. I remember Boston Globe from years ago with great photo content that really captured the vibe of so many places and people in the news.

These days news means boring propaganda PR pictures or tiny images with artifacts, very weird. It's like we're not as close to the actual world as we were 10+ years ago.

Probably also about licensing, but it's stupid because most photos won't end up as "pressphoto of the year" or whatever they are saving their HQ versions for.

The Tage Frid Teaches Woodworking three volume set is excellent and fairly comprehensive, although it doesn't cover modern tools as much.
The thread-per-core manifesto has a goal of not sharing data between cores, and thus the communication inside the process becomes message passing, handing off ownership of a chunk of data to the recipient core. This lack of sharing is what enables the performance (no locks etc needed, outside of the message passing).

Pizza parlors are ubiquitous because it takes 50 cents of ingredients, 5 minutes, and an elementary school education to make one. It’s not a very relevant analogy.

There is only so much variation to the size of people’s hands. The mini makes a big battery life and visibility sacrifice to save space.

It’s not much different to the reasons why two-door sports cars have fallen out of favor. They can only do one thing well.

Phones have to do so much for the typical person, they’re not just basic communication devices, and having one that can’t do everything all day is a big compromise.

I had a 12 mini and 13 mini and I can understand why they were discontinued. I loved them at first, but the trade off ultimately doesn’t make sense. I bet you there were very few repeat customers.

I have small fingers and it was hard to type on. Looking at the screen was straining, and it would be worse if I was older or had worse eyesight. The battery life got a little better for the 13 mini but I got range anxiety and had to charge before the day ended almost every day.

The way I interpreted it:

* Person A [Marketer who knows html/handlebars] logs into Postmark and makes a new email template.

* Person A tells Person B [node js developer], "Please send the new 'welcome' email template from the app".

* Person B runs the cli script, so the json file now has a template with a key of 'welcome-template-2023-blue'.

* Person B can write/modify any code which calls "sendEmailTemplate" and know exactly what code is valid, wont compile, etc.

They are "generating" the "class/object/type definitions" programmatically - which seems fine to me for the code generation problem they lay out.

Which part is not "a valid case" to you?

Note: the fact that the article is "typescript + json" versus pure "typescript" doesn't seem like a important distinction with respect to it be valid code generation, not sure if others disagree.

Random note: A different way to solve this problem would be with the "cog" python module [1], but that would come with a different set of tradeoffs. :)

Exactly.

The fact that it is still relatively easy to do X even after X has been banned does not imply that banning X is stupid. The argument made in the article is fundamentally flawed.

I installed Tailwind for my parents (it’s a little module that plugs into the motorized unit which allows the motorized unit to stay dumb) and it’s been flawless. Good app and good integration with smart services. I haven’t used their Home Asssistant integration but I can confirm their local control API works and I see that a HA integration exists. Tailwind is my model for what all smart home stuff should be.

Extensibility is the term that speaks to this situation. Extensible code, updated by skilled developers, will allow for radical business logic changes without sacrificing the quality of the code over time.

It's like a skyscraper. The critical structural stuff is fixed but the architects and engineers try to minimize those pieces and create flexible spaces that can either be high density cubicles, enclosed offices, a cafe, etc...

Eventually it's true that you have to tear it all down and there's nothing wrong with that - a good developer will know when that makes sense based on the needs of the stakeholders and make that recommendation.

Thanks for this, glanced at the site and I like that it's got a motion sensor built into the unit which is convenient. But I wasn't able to tell from an admittedly cursory glance if the opengarage can decrypt the Security+ 2.0 signal that's on the wire in MyQ devices, or if it's just a dry contact switch replacement which will not work for such devices.
I don’t think that would be very useful, because there would be a 1/2048 chance of getting a NaN, and it would be difficult to convert the numbers to a known distribution.

Oracle Cloud offers 10TB free bandwidth per month and is part of the bandwidth alliance I think with Cloudflare.

Edgecast (Edgio) is free as far as I can tell, except you pay for support if you want it and some extra features.

Datapacket has unmetered bandwidth for example.

There are plenty of solutions, but they aren’t very well known because of the dominance AWS and others have.

Not to mention, it might be cheaper to just use direct connect with a cloud provider or just grab an ASN and host stuff in a local datacenter.

This reverses the subject, though: even if we grant that private civilians should have a (possibly limited) expectation of privacy in public, civilians acting in a public capacity, like the police, should not. Given the enormous power they have to act outside the law with impunity, removing the only check on that power— transparency into their conduct— would be a mistake. One only need to consider any of the many times police have been caught outright lying by video surfacing afterward to understand why.

Volvo Cars AB is a publicly traded Swedish company traded on the Stockholm stock exchange.

They have to comply with all relevant Swedish laws for a public Swedish company and all requirements imposed by the Stockholm stock exchange.

Geely Holding owns 82% of Volvo Cars AB according to recent data. Swedish pension companies AMF and Folksam are second and third largest owner with 3.8% and 2.0% of the votes.

So while Geely of course has a massive influence on the company, they can not do whatever they want, they have to abide by the rules and respect the other owners as well, and the other owners are also present on eg the board

I feel like this is a common sentiment shared among those that started their life with physical books being the only way to read a book (and I count myself among those).

As years have passed, I found physical books are great for gifting, but terrible to keep. I never read any given book more than once, twice at most. Having those books be occupying space in my home, having to be managed across moves, and then just forgotten, perhaps only to be remembered with some nostalgia when you linger your gaze idly on them from time to time...I find that wasteful.

I've been very happy reading from an ebook device for almost two decades now. I don't think the tactile sensation of a book to be that great anyway. It's much more convenient, and, above all, I don't have the burden of having to manage all that space. The same way that I was burdened by my father's passing and having to manage his books and comics (of course, this was only a minor annoyance, but not something I would have ever wished to do, because of course...I couldn't bring myself to just throw it all out to the recycling boxes, and gifting them all to some place is no that easy now that almost no one is taking in physical books anymore). All of that...for an ephemeral experience. A passing distraction. Much like a movie.

Now...how does this relates to the library disappearing? I think libraries as they're designed don't provide that much value when you can get almost all what you want in a single kindle. Indeed, physical books make no sense to me, specially having to store them in a public building, whose space could be put to better use for the community.

The concept of accessing the literature freely should never disappear, I'm not advocating for that. But I would prefer that this would be done by lending or allowing the use of e-books rather than physical books. Or even just pdf files to be read with the user's own devices. Perhaps a self-deleting pdf if some kind of lending wants to be implemented?

Instead, the physical space currently occupied by books could be used to promote communal activities, between kids and between adults. There are public buildings like that in Barcelona, that can be used by cultural neighborhood associations that allow the people of the city to bond in much the same way that ancient communal places like the church would have performed. So, for example, food distribution citizen cooperatives, or role playing/board game groups, singing and dancing groups, theater play associations or courses, historical recreation societies...the sky's the limit!

All of the previous activities provide more integration and community than what a traditional library could ever provide. Reading being mostly a personal experience, even taking into account potential reading clubs.

And what I've come to believe is that it is much more important to enabling opportunities and social integration, to provide shared spaces rather than trying to cover that need by giving free access to self-learning or leisure resources. I would prefer my public money to be used towards communal integration, rather than reinforcing the solitude crisis that we're all drifting to.
The comment you replied to is saying that industry + regulators together should be able to accomplish that, rather than the current state where private companies monopolize (it's a weird version of embrace, extend, extinguish) entire critical communication channels and prevent them from being more widely used.
The benefit is that you can use any USB-C cable for charging. You can also use any USB-C cable for data transfer at low speed, which is what the iPhone supports.

With iPhone Pro, you can transfer at low-speed with any cable or high speed with USB3 cable. But most people would rather carry a cheap, light, 6 ft charging cable than heavy, expensive, 3ft for the rare case of transferring data.
