- Native interop in Java is surprisingly slow and very clunky (C# interop with C/C++ can be as cheap as direct calls nowadays)

- .NET had been able to produce single-file (and self-contained when needed) executables way before NativeAOT was introduced

- RPi is a fairly large platform compared to e.g. Arduino (for which Rust should be awesome) and can be well-served by NativeAOT (today). I might still use Rust for that one in the long run but using C# wouldn't be an issue both in terms of resource usage and OS since it's just an arm64 musl flavour of Linux usually with 1GB of RAM or more which is a lot for .NET (for context ~256MiB containers with ASP.NET Core image is a popular target for back-ends)
What do you mean by "ability to replace the shell"?
These were only 2 occasions in the last 6 years, there are plenty of other counter examples.

Provided additional examples elsewhere here.

I don't think I "want to be respected", I do want them to consider that it's taking a lot of time from me too, to help them and not just think of of me as "the easy/lazy" fix. Which is similar, but not the same since it's comes across as "disrespectful" sometimes.

I'm always quick to help ( within 5 minutes at most, but mostly immediately) and it creates an uncomfortable feedback loop in some cases after a while. I'm trying to find a root cause and a fix for this.

The only thing that is a bit uncomfortable at first, is when I see mentees start helping others ( and it's just me have to break the habit as a mentor and adapting to see them growing more). With others, the ones I am talking about, I know almost upfront I'll still be requested since the advice was just useless time spend between those 2 people.

The first moments I keep an eye on what's being said and I follow up on that. If their advice is bad, I feel bad too.

On the other hand, I congratulated a mentee last week for handling a situation well and there wasn't a single moment where I had the feeling to jump in until we had a team meeting to discuss and solve the issue together ( the issue was known for a month and was getting more common over a timespan of 2 days, he took it up in those 2 days and handled + investigated it very well).
Does anyone know why this post isn't anywhere near the front page? It was posted 1 hour ago, has 11 points, and 11 comments. It's not a dupe, and it's from a reputable/popular source.

According to the recently submitted Stories Removed from the HN Front Page [1], this did make it to the front page, but then plummeted off.

Why would anyone flag a submission like this? I wish it were possible to 'vouch' for a post that has been flagged but is not currently dead.

The reason is that cops dramatically reduced the amount of traffic enforcement they engaged in ( https://twitter.com/hknightsf/status/1537100042623848448?t=7... ). Turns out they don't want to risk a murder charge for $65k/year; I don't blame them, I wouldn't do it for $1m. Less traffic cops = more traffic crime.

Both of the dramatic increases of car accidents from the past decade coincided with BLM events: Ferguson and Floyd. See figure 1 - https://crashstats.nhtsa.dot.gov/Api/Public/ViewPublication/...
Seconded. On bicycle, I learned the Idaho stop techniques - treating stop signs as yield signs, and treating red lights as stop signs.

The most important thing I got out of this experience is that traffic signs and lights are suggestions. A red light usually means stop, but sometimes it is safe to go. A green light usually means go, but sometimes I must stop to avoid getting T-boned or cut off.

The only absolute rules of traffic are observation and physics. I predict other road users' behaviors and avert dangers, regardless of what the traffic signs/signals say or even if they're absent. For example, I slow down or stop near blind corners, even if there is no stop sign - and there have been times when vehicles popped out. I always look left and right even when I have the right of way, even when crossing a green light, because time and time again this trust has been broken.
> With containers, you are decoupling the application from the host operating system! Which means some OS knowledge is often ignored.

containers are just a fancy "tar" package with a fancy "chroot". they shouldn't really have ever been viewed as being decoupled from the host operating system. you're still just installing software on the host.
Many of them do. Distance runners often go to Kenya or St. Moritz. But yes, it‘s less effective than the illegal methods.
> no one else has said anything or appeared to notice.

Oh buddy, they noticed. Nobody's missing that thing on someone's face in the close quarters of a commercial airline.

I wonder if they made him take it off for takeoff and landing.
Yes, 100%. Old text-based shell scripting promotes security holes the size of Pacific ocean as numerous as stars in the Milky Way.

It is a sad thing to me to see such a great resource just end up trash.

Thanks to ublacklist for hiding the damned thing.
AFAIK they do train at high elevation when possible; it's just that some also cheat too. The U.S. Olympic training center is located at over 6,000ft of elevation, in Colorado Springs, presumably for exactly this reason.

Some sports probably aren't very amenable to this sort of consistently-high-elevation training though — if you play for a specific city's sports team, for example, you're probably going to do most of your training and playtime near that city.
Who says they are? Probably depends and varies by the application.

One example I could think of is if it's currently a SaaS on Azure, but it needs to be portable enough for a version to run in a low end Arm IoT device.

Or if it's deployed to thousands of servers and taking excessive memory or CPU resources for a monitoring agent. Or GC freezes affecting other adjustments systems.

There are plenty of reasons to retire C# to Rust.
I'm gonna go with it's in a lake.

A) it's big, but in a lake it varnishes easy.

B) lake isn't forest. In winter, it makes an obvious landing option when things go wrong.

C) chances are it crashed, not landed. Perhaps a fire weakened the ice, hot engines etc. If it landed one would expect radios to work.

D) it hasn't been found since (but others have), so I eould suggest it's "not easy to see".

The Yukon is big, and population is sparse, so its possibly on land, but speaking as a golfer, if there's water around, it's likely in it.
Are you factoring in the more frequent repair costs incurred when the "smart" features fail and incapacitate the whole device?

> With partial evaluation you have static (known at compile time) arguments to your function, and dynamic (known at runtime) arguments.

That's pretty clever... How is this implemented in actual code though? I can't even begin to imagine how that magic machinery works.
The section on building high-precision detonation speed timing apparatuses (and occasional explosive deconstruction of same) made me realize how uncomfortably close "information we require" and "catastrophic consequences of collection that information" are in the field.

Had an Amiga 500 and later a 4000/040retina and for me Doon did it. I exactly know when: Amiga show in Cologne, Commodore didn't present anything new at a time when everyone jumped to PC.
> What would a non-technical solution look like?

Something like ensuring that headlights are lower. I'm not against technical improvements, but I think that simple, less error-prone improvements should be given higher priority.
I work on a big monorepo. OmniSharp takes so long to load that it's basically useless, I gave up at 10min. Rider takes a minute or so.
Benzene is IARC Group 1, but bitumen (the mined asphalt used in TFA, as opposed to synthetic asphalt) appears to only be Group 2B. I doubt IARC has classified electric stoves. (coal stoves are Group 1; wood stoves Group 2A)

My Grandfather’s house was like that when he bought it. It was built on a hill that sloped down from the street. The ground floor was actually several feet below the level of the street, with just enough crawl space at the front edge of the house. He jacked the whole house up to street level, dug out the basement, poured a concrete slab under the whole house, built concrete block walls around the whole thing, and built a staircase up to the main hall on the ground floor. Half of the new floor became a basement workshop, and the other half became four bedrooms and a bathroom for the children (there were only three bedrooms upstairs). Even then six of the children were still sharing a room.
CEO of Figma here. Most of the original insights around vector networks were in 2013, though we continued to polish the implementation over time. We didn't exit stealth and ship the closed beta of Figma until December 2015 which is why there isn't blog content before then.

At first glance, this thesis looks super neat! I'm excited to check it out! I don't believe I've seen it before which is surprising given the overlap.
Not sure when you moved, but ICBC changed a bunch of how they calculate payouts in 2019. My insurance went down to slightly higher than US rates after that, but used to be way higher.

ICBC does do road safety campaigns, but it also handles vehicle registration and licensing as well as driver testing and licensing. I don’t know if any of that extra stuff is funded by insurance premiums or if it is all from taxes and fees.

No advanced civilization would conclude they are dealing with "gods" just because they see someone with presumably better technology than themselves.

In fact, if they are anything like humans, they have probably already realized that species that live on a lower-gravity planet could escape that planet using the same chemical reactions that are available to them also.
Shh, that’s supposed to be a secret tunnel/underground garage!
increased red blood cell count = increased capacity to carry oxygen = increased aerobic endurance

Yes! What killed the Amiga was that Commodore effectively stopped R&D on the chips in the mid-1980’s, and by the time they restarted they had already lost too much time.

(It’s possible to argue Steve Jobs was right when he dismissed the Amiga because it was too much hardware. He knew it would be difficult to keep evolving such an architecture. It’s also possible he was wrong because he didn’t account for Commodore’s chip design and manufacturing processes.)

In any case, by 1992, there were Macs capable of 24-bit color, and the 68040 was certainly capable of pushing enough pixels quickly to run Doom / Marathon / Duke 3D without hardware acceleration.
Thanks. A lot of this is similar to what I encountered/observed, to the point where I thought to check the hiring process too.

> For example, you sound extremely hands-on for a mentor. I would not do all of their coding for them.

Well. I guide them through keywords to look up, so they can find more info about their current issue and then ask them to come back when they need to know more or still have further issues ( I do want to see they put in some effort in finding the issue first, depending on the issue ofc).

The problem is after some back and forth. If it takes a relatively long time, I sometimes do the coding for them ( a lot less the last years) and I still think it's a difficult balance.

Once you fix their problem with pair programming, I tend to get into an akward situation, where it's expected to do that more from their side, which I don't want to do.

To the point of the actual request of : "can you take over my screen" or "can you do it for me".

Fyi, that's an example of the current senior situation. I hit the "can you do it for me" feedback loop really fast this time.
You could do something like an active optical cable if you wanted - adds expense but given the price tag of this, probably not insurmountable.
Modern systems don't have a dedicated TPM, so it's a lot harder to read the settings off the chip, as it is part of the CPU.

Then I believe modern TPM communication is encrypted.

On too of that you want your laptop to support physical tampering resistance, which prevents both this (outdated) chip attack and freezing the RAM. When you then boot the laptop the master password is required. I would prefer it to throw off the PCR but hey, it works too.

I do wonder if you have 8GB of soldered RAM and 8GB on a stick, Windows keeps the key in the soldered part to increase difficulty stealing?
I still grab the free newspapers every time I am in the airport as I still love the look and feel and to flick through them. And I sometimes buy a paper when there is an iconic headline and keep the paper for historical record. You could say I have a historical blockchain made of paper :)
My appliance repair guy, who repairs appliances all day and has seen it all, told me to hold on to my (relatively old) appliances as long as possible because they are more easily repaired than the newer ones. Sure, it's his job to fix things so he has incentive to repair rather than recommend a replacement (in which he would make $0) but I trust him: when my 20-year-old microwave oven recently died, he said it would be several hundred dollars to fix and would not be worth the money (I agreed).

So yes, many old appliances have broken and were likely not worth repairing, but on average all the evidence points to newer devices being more finicky, easily broken, and harder and more expensive to repair than older, simpler devices. Every engineer worth their salt knows that simpler is usually more reliable.
But the question isn't about naming things. It's about what UNITs to use.

Unhelpfully, one of the standards cited earlier suggests using the symbol 'r' for request rate. That's a symbol, which is how you would name the variable in a math or physics paper. But let's ignore that.

The base unit is 1/s, which causes all kinds of problems in SI, not the least of which is: how do you apply prefixes? μ/s, m/s, k/S, M/s, G/s?

If the unit is Bq (Becquerel), the prefix problem goes away: μBq, mBq, kBq, MBq, GBq?
We can only guess, so here's mine: It's a paywalled article- maybe that annoyed people enough to flag it.
Raising the amount of red blood cells gives you an advantage because the blood can carry more oxygen. This leads to a race where everyone tries to raise it as far as possible. This is quite dangerous, because the blood gets ever thicker (which leads to thrombosis, as with the cyclist Tom Simpson in 1967). Banning blood doping helps to protect the athletes as well.
Ah I see now, they would just display the tag <html> on screen as is perhaps.
I would say "not yet supported publicly" is a pretty big caveat — especially because neither Eden nor Mononoke (according to the README) actually build if you only have access to the open-source tools. Not sure if I'd call source dumps that don't successfully build "almost everything you need" ;)

I'm not holding my breath either; EdenFS was open-sourced many years ago with broken-for-OSS builds IIRC; it doesn't seem like there's much urgency in getting it buildable using tools available to non-Meta-employees.
SI has several cursed units. My favourite of them is the kWh.

A watt is just a joule per second. Making 1 kWh === 3.6 MJ.
Blood doping is listed as a prohibited procedure by various sports organizations (e.g. the world anti-doping code), and thus is doping by their fiat. According to wikipedia, the Olympics first banned the practice in 1985, so reading commentary from that time might be illuminating if you're unsure as to why it might be considered cheating.
You really haven't understood this whataboutism thing, have you.

Your paranoia is making you foolish. You really do need to sort it out.
Did you mean to say “uninhabitable”? If so, then I agree. Nuclear weapons are the first thing that comes to mind.
How does that representative prove that they really represent the owners, if the owners aren't known to management? How can they authorize someone without revealing identifying information?
> why not move processing and fans to that also?

my guess is to minimize latency.
Please consider making your page mobile friendly. It's almost impossible to read.
I believe you just need to be a European resident, although how you define that is the crux. Realistically if you have a way to prove an address you reside at in Europe, that should be sufficient.
There's little we can do about it short of running ancient libreboot computers. We'll never be truly free until we have the technology to manufacture free computer chips at home, just like we can make free software at home.
What was the crime?
The 68k architecture still had some runway by the time Commodore’s fate was sealed, though. Commodore really needed to be taping out the next generation chipset no later than 1990, and arguably 1988 would have been better.
The real question is: Why does Windows cursor look "imperfect"?

AlloyDB on GCP could be a good fit here.
I suggest we make headlights be no higher off the ground than 2' and adjusted downwards. If your vehicle is so tall that your lights are under the grill, that's on you. People don't need to be blinded by bright white lights at eye level.
Didn't you forget that Facebook did that and everybody hated it?
There's a difference in resources on client machines and resources on thousands of servers in server farms.
Perhaps the monopoly law should be changed to adapt to multiple scales.

E.g. you shouldn't be able to use product 1 that has 100Y market in A to create any advantage for product 2 in market B if you know user uses competitor in B who's market in B is < 10Y (e.g. 10x less than market of product 1).

For example if you have 2B market in OS you should not be allowed to use OS to advertise your own browser to user who uses another browser with under 200M users.

That would also cover Apple exerting power over 50,000 installation apps.

And by "know" here I mean that if you know user is not using your product yet, you must check the condition or not be allowed to use the advantage (e.g. either you should see Chrome ads in Chrome, or Google cant advertise Chrome to Edge users).
War may be the exception, not the rule.

Just because we're built for it doesn't mean other species will be.

If evolving in a different environment, they might be built for cooperation. That is, in a certain environment the only species that can evolve enough to go interplanetary might be a species that learned to co-exist internally and externally, otherwise the environment would have kept them down.
Also apple did that with memoji and everybody seems to be using it.
That's pretty true of a lot of development tools on Debian.
Integrity investigation finds 25% of Europe's MEPs were involved in a scandal
As NeXTStep became obsolete SGI IRIX was considered for a successor but Carmack was not a fan and moved on to NT as you state (also calling early on that commercial Unix was fucked).
Put away all devices and read a book (a real book made out of paper).

Avoid anything technical, controversial or thrilling. My current bedtime book is "Cecile is Dead" a translation of a Maigret book (french detective 1942). Perfect.
Rockets are out, but you could drop a space-elevator line down
> For ADHD the problem is both dopamine and low serotonin.

No mental disorder is caused by low anything. ADHD (some types) are more like you have extra leaky neurons and the dopamine falls out of them. On the other hand, serotonin drugs working for depression seems like it might be a coincidence.

Strattera mostly affects norepinephrine though.
>> allows you to basically take an old WPF application

Old as in "any old WPF application"?
So please tell me, specifically, what I personally can do to affect actual change. Instead of just criticizing me for not giving myself a stomach ulcer being angry all the time.
I think the goal is that people live their lives with their cell phone strapped permanently to their face, so they need to incentivize you to take it off as little as possible.
I would say that the PC won over the Amiga as it had a huge library of old CPM business and productivity software that was easily ported to it.

New Browser, New Me? The Arc Browser
I'm a little late to the Arc Browser party, but dang, is it cool! Here's a little writeup of the highlights so far.
Not sure what you mean with “national clearance network”.

With regards to CC fees, there have been none for (DanKort) cardholders since 2005. I haven’t had a non-DanKort rejected since 2016 or 2017, and the only times that I pay for card fees is when I use the CCs issued to my companies.

Yet somehow, you still can’t buy tickets on the bus with a CC, only cash or apps.
ELI5: why do I need to upload the preview? Is it for some reason impossible for you to downsize the high-res pic? Is there a manual step required of me to take after?
