Average tenure is also significantly a measure of how fast you're growing. My employer has doubled in size over the last three years, so even if literally zero people had ever left the company we'd have a median tenure of three years.
I agree, in the UK I never heard them referred to as "Legos" and only ever heard that in American media. It always felt like one of those sloppy contractions Americans use, like "Do you wanna go with?" and "I'll write him"
If you read the article though, many of the updated nodes (which are now garbage) don't see any updates to their “data” but to internal tree pointers.

So lots of “data” is being copied, and garbage is being generated, only for the benefit of tidying up tree structure, not because the actual “data” in those pages changed.

Not generating such garbage in the first place is an obvious benefit.

If I'm discussing Apple TV, I'll start by using simple old-media analogies that stick, saying it's like Cable-VOD or a stack of video tapes by your TV. The important thing, I think, is that you have to (at least first) gloss over nuances. Then it is a matter of layering artful examples to try to cover what Apple TV does. It is like picking the right brushes (= small analogies) to paint a familiar scene, rather than constructing a consistent argument from first principles.

Gentoo for me is not about compiling things from source, or "performance", or tweaking your OS for days, which seems to be the comment perception from people.

Now that there is an officially supported binhost, you do not have to compile anything if you don't want to. You can use a desktop profile with zero customization and have a system that works "out of the box". You do have the options to customize and compile but it's not required.

Gentoo's benefits for me include the tooling around portage and the PMS (package manager spec). Gentoo's software packaging tooling is (IMO) superior to what exists in Debian and other conventional (not nix) distros. The most similar would be Arch's PKGBUILDs, which are also pretty nice.

Packaging software for Debian, trying to create a .deb package is a fairly arcane process and the documentation was difficult to find and digest when I attempted this. Gentoo has a wiki section called "ebuild writing guide" that describes everything in great detail.

There are also benefits like being able to select on a per-package-basis whether you want "stable" or "unstable" versions of software. Gentoo is a rolling release distro, but requires packages to meet a certain criteria before being marked as "stable". You are not forced to use "stable" packages if you want the most recent releases from upstream (basically what Arch does) but still have access to them if you'd like.

Gentoo's community is the most important feature for me though. Gentoo feels like a proper open source project. You don't have to be a Gentoo developer to contribute, and you can interact directly with Gentoo developers when you need guidance or have questions. Gentoo's community seems to have a lot less elitism compared to other distros also which is very important to me.
So no one is allowed to notice that crime is getting worse until it reaches the same levels as the 70s/80s/90s? Despite rising crime, their perception is wrong because it hasn’t reached historic highs?
A likely scenario is that software will become more expensive to consumers because the vendors will have to buy liability insurance in-house.

Also, it will raise the barrier to entry for any small vendor or a solo dev trying to make a living with open source.

Amish hand crafted comforters in my area start at $1600. The comforters are of much higher quality, better materials, stitching, etc than a Walmart purchased comforter. The comforters will last for at least two generations. They don't sell as many comforters as Walmart does though. They won't be making a living on their comforters anytime soon.

So, what is the Amish's answer to this? It's the same as all other businesses: diversification.

In the case of the Amish, that diversification comes in the form of other products, such as jams and jellies, candles, knickknacks, glass blown objects, etc.

Perhaps music is the comforter of products. Perhaps the answer to music's woes is to diversify.

> Now, it's understandable why they're using an inappropriate metric. It's the only thing they can even remotely reliably derive from their data set of scraped Linkedin profiles.

I don't think even that is true.

They could do a better metric like "Among the employees that were employed by company X ten years ago, what percentage are still employed there?"

This also solves the "average tenure at a growing company" problem.
LOL, this is the stupidest list I've seen in a long time. Tech sector being very dynamic and full of alternative opportunities clearly creates the short tenure over there. Whereas relatively stagnant industries with fewer job opportunities tend to score highly regarding longest tenure. Projecting this along the axis of job attractiveness is just plain dumb.

That statute applies to people facilitating the travel of minors without parental consent.

This bill establishes parents as having full legal authority over their minor children and no one else.

As such, it does not really apply in the same way as a blanket travel ban. Parents have always been given preferential dominion over their children.

basically what the sibling said. it's a good idea to isolate dev stages from prod by putting their respective resources in different accounts. it's also good to have separate accounts for different prod regions. people often don't do this because it sounds burdensome to have 2-3 dev accounts and 3+ prod accounts for each service. it is pretty painful using the out-of-the-box AWS web UI, since it forces you to log in and out of each account.

but the containers extension associates each account's SSO token with the respective container, so you can switch between them freely. you can also color-code and label the tabs from each container, which makes it harder to forget whether you're looking at dev or prod.
AArch64 has the SB ("speculation barrier") instruction, which you could insert after both sides of a branch instruction if you really wanted to: https://developer.arm.com/documentation/ddi0596/2021-12/Base...

However, it's not specified to completely disable speculation, only "to the extent that such speculation can be observed through side-channels as a result of control flow speculation or data value speculation". So e.g. an implementation could decide to disable speculative memory access while still allowing arithmetic operations.

Preventing Spectre vulnerabilities is pretty much the only reason you'd want to disable branch prediction though (except for curiosity of course). Without prediction, performance would be as bad as if every branch was mispredicted, since the pipeline has to stop and wait at every single branch. The idea of branch prediction is that the "wasted" cycles waiting for the branch to resolve can instead be used to do some computation that may or may not be useful; if it turned out to be useful you saved some time, if not you didn't lose anything (besides maybe some electricity). So even a branch predictor that randomly guesses with 50% accuracy is a huge performance win over not speculating at all.
We've found that distributed building has pretty much eliminated the need to upgrading developer workstations. Super easy to set up, too.
I think there are multiple wins but one I see is that the liability falls on open source commercial entities, support services, and any services that handles PII but also if I am reading the law right there is mandatory disclosure so open source projects will essentially get free code audits, patches included thanks to the liability risk.

Unless I've terribly misinterpreted the text which is entirely plausible given a lack of sleep and a enough coffee to jump start a small star.

Edit: typo
At least on Nvidia, A1111 has had near identical performance to ComfyUI on SDXL and SD1.5 for me. Besides that, there were typical minor problems that happen when some guy's hobby project goes viral and suddenly is under massive scrutiny. It was the first "good enough" interface and now there is massive community inertia with extensions, plugins, etc.

ComfyUI has found a place in the image pipeline design niche, but A1111 still seems like the best choice for new users who just want to spin up Stable Diffusion and generate some art for a D&D campaign or whatever.

with append-only data structures, you could turn the fact that you rewrite the path from the node to the root to your advantage and rebalance. This means you abandon the "balanced" property and use update statistics to get an optimal shape. Who cares about the length of paths to parts of the tree you never visit?
It seems like git itself ought to be able to combine multiple commits into a single ubercommit for the sake of PRs, but allow pulling each of those sub-commits that constituted it in the first place afterwards for debugging and QA purposes. But I guess these 3d party tools achieve that as well.

But all the government is enforcing or protecting is an identity, not a thing. Burberry convinces people to do something they don't have to do, EVEN to get a bag of the same style and quality.

What do the customers get? They get nothing more than the social status of other people seeing them have it. That value is something that doesn't exist except that Burberry created it out of thin air. The tools that Burberry uses to to produce those sales are not the government protection of the exclusive right to sell a bag of a certain style, it's the knowledge of human nature, in this case, status displays.

My advise is don't take Erlang's fault-tolerance promises too seriously. It's just a little framework that helps in some cases and gets in the way in other cases.

I've seen many Erlang systems fail in funny ways, including some of the big examples given here. Supervision trees are cool but it's clearly nonsense to hardcode restart strategy and timing numbers for workers as if all failure modes are the same and deployed in the same network/capacity/resource/conditions with any number of workers. The strategy and schedule for recovering 10 crashed resource workers will clearly be different when you have 1M workers. The strategy will be different if you are timing out on network or if you are getting a resource error and have better things to do than restarting workers.

Focus on fault-tolerance outside erlang - have standby capacity in isolation and load-balance properly, shard the system in isolated pieces as much as you can.

Ask HN: Where to go after learning "beginner" CS like coding?
Hello all, I'm a high school senior and a longtime lurker. You can guess by my presence here that I'm interested in all things CS, as a hobby if not necessarily a profession, but I've got no idea what to actually do with that interest.

I've done all the "beginner" stuff like learning Java/Python, making scripts and projects for my own computer, trying archlinux on a VM. I've taken all the CS courses at my school (they're frustratingly shallow) and I just don't know how to go from playing with my own glorified "Hello World" scripts in noob world to actually making projects people use, seriously tinkering with my computer, etc.

Seeing that post from a week or so back about the 16 year old self-hosting with their own servers was kind of my wakeup call. While I've been twiddling my thumbs dreaming of doing something like that, sort of justifying it with the mentality of "I'll just wait until I'm older", they actually went and did it in the exact same few years I'd had (if you're reading this, btw, you're my hero and congrats on the achievements!) I'd like to actually make progress that feels meaningful, but I'm not really good at finding out how to do that and more often than not I end up wasting time.

What resources/forums/communities, literally anything really, would you all recommend for me to take a look at; or what would you all recommend for me to learn/do next? Stuff about basically any CS-related, computer-related, etc. topic would be appreciated! I'd really value advice from people like you all, who've gotten past this level already, on how to go past it. Thank you all and have a great day! :)
This is sadly not too surprising; a quick glance at what does well on YouTube, Reddit, Twitter, etc will show that a high percentage of the userbase are probably under 13, and that percentage probably jumps even more when counting minors in general.

Given that:

1. Many parents see giving their kids an iPad and access to a social media service as a way to keep them quiet
2. And pretty much every kid on the planet will lie about their age in order to sign up for whatever site or service they want

I'm not sure there's a whole lot these services could do about it, and any attempt to fix this would probably make them even more privacy invasive and obnoxious than they already are.

I understand that my comment was reductive but statistics do point to this problem. People don't say this part aloud for some reason. There was even a sting operation in India about Korean restaurants denying entrance to indians while on indian soil which is actually against consumer laws in india (you cannot deny service). There's videos on youtube about the sort of racism that people experience. You need only search YouTube for "koreans racism against indians" for multiple anecdotes. It is the kind of behaviour that would get people in trouble in places like the US. Granted the US isn't exactly a bastion of equality but much better. So even on a nomad visa I would much rather stay at a western country or go to indonesia.

I think at scale, merges are too problematic, however for a long time I worked on a (small) team who took the approach that got history should represent “what you actually did”, and the thought process behind that, rather than the “perfect ideal” of the changes being made.

This brings its own benefits, it is often easier to learn from the commits, it’s often easier to review because you have more granular commits and can follow a dev’s thought process. And if you’re doing post-merge review as we did in the early days, you don’t lose that granularity when squashing. A nice bonus was that because there was no rebasing, no one ever really “broke git”, a classic issue for more junior developers. Ultimately the approach didn’t scale beyond ~8 devs/~500k lines/~15 PRs a day, but it was good for a long time.

The important thing though is: have a git style guide, make decisions for reasons that matter to your team, and stick to the style guide.
