No question - but these kind of games lead to poor adoption.

They made a big todo about how much better than AMD they are with things like AVX512.

Then they play these games for market purposes.

Then they have stupid clock speed pauses, so when you try it your stuff goes slower.

Meanwhile - AMD is putting it on all their chips and it works reasonably there.

So I've just found the whole Intel style here kind of annoying. I really remember them doing bogus comparisons to non AVX-512 AMD parts (and projecting when their chips would be out). Reality is you are writing software that depends on AVX512 - tell clients to buy AMD to run it. Does AVX512 even work on efficiency cores and things like that? It's a mess.
I love this.

My first impression was: "What in the QA is this? I wonder what this breaks?"

> because they used the domain name as the commonName

Understandable, but that's old-school, right? I'm pretty sure the x.509 extensions for SAN cover this now, and I'm kind of surprised that CA's are sticking to the old way of doing this.
It's the exact same as inline styles...
> I imagine ASAT weapons around L2 would fit that bill!

Sure, but so far it is only American weapons going there, which doesn't really explain what Chinese actions the weapons are supposed to "defend" against.

Like, once someone else has sent a weapon to L2 it is easy to motivate sending your own, but the US is currently bootstrapping itself into sending the first one basically by pretending someone else already beat them to it.
> Assuming those claims are true(I know, that is a big ask, but they claim it)

They may even be true today. The problem is that if true, it won't stay true.

Interested parties find ways to tap into stuff like this once it exists. Given enough time, they create a legal framework to justify it.
Yeah. I've always been of the opinion that, having got myself from OpenSCAD to GUI CAD, I will jump from FreeCAD to onShape/Fusion360 if I feel I have to -- or do my CAD work on a Windows machine with Alibre.

I feel fairly at home on FreeCAD and some of the recent improvements and developments just make it even better. Plus there's a lot of actually good tutorial material on Youtube now. So for now I am happy not to jump.

(I do tend to make this decision individually for each software application, though; I'm unwilling to limit myself to GIMP when there are other alternatives to Photoshop. But I might well be willing to stick to Inkscape.)
Yeah I was referring to motorcycles. I think bike danger is overstated honestly. Most speeds you go you end up with scrapes and bruises laying the bike over. Sure there are freak accidents where you land wrong on your neck, but that could happen in your kitchen or shower or going down the stairs as well.

The same can be said for class as well, many people I have met who have grown up wealthy and comfortable and just don't think much about the people who serve their food, do work for them, make the things they buy, and have no idea who they are and what their lives are like and don't wonder about it. Part of that is how society is structured to hide these people from them, that's part of what they're paying for.
> I thought that being a man of my word meant that, as I'd given my employer my word that I would follow their security policy, I should follow it to the letter

This basically sums up my "cover story" nicely so I didn't have to admit to myself that it was more about scoring points for my own position.

Dressing up vanity as integrity is a dangerous thing.
You'd likely start with the near-Earth asteroids. The easiest have the same delta-v requirement as the Moon. SpaceX is planning about a dozen refueling flights for a Moon landing but that's for a hundred tons of payload.

For the main belt, it probably makes the most sense to use low-thrust high-ISP rockets rather than chemical.
Honestly, it happens regularly in jiu-jitsu (and is one of the reasons I love the sport). I've been training for a number of years, and while I lose to higher belts I typically know what happened. Occasionally I get to roll with people who are world class level (another cool thing about the sport), and they make me feel like it's day 1 all over again. Then they'll give me a few pointers that look completely innocuous and it'll change my entire game.
The irony is that people can’t deal with the fact that people can be both “narcissistic assholes” and “visionaries”

They want their heroes and devils neatly wrapped and separated.
All self-reported measures are wrong. Some are useful.

My personal hypothesis is that Chad Kroeger looks weird and that’s it.

Every giant band has either a frontman, or a set of people who comprise the ethos that people attach to in a band

Everybody has their favorite beatle or they love the lead singer of band x or whatever.

I’ve literally never heard somebody say Chad Kroeger’s their favorite artist, Or he’s such a hunk, etc.

meanwhile, bands with smaller followings have rabid fans like my daughter and this obscure band with rabid following.

Nirvana wouldn’t have been shit if Kurt Cobain wasn’t such an icon.

So in my estimation, it comes down, purely to the fact that nobody in the band was worth emulating or being excited about given the size of their musical presence.
MTW ("the telephone book") is definitely not an undergrad textbook (although you might be able to cobble together an undergrad course out of bits and pieces of it). It is very heavy on intuition and visualization, though, which is why I like it (e.g. the "egg carton" visualization of differential forms).

"Ruby is not alone in this"

Agreed. My point was rather that this is not Ruby's only dangerous shortcut.
I think there is a major disconnect between the public expectation for doctors, and what their role actually is.

It is more accurate to think of a doctors as job as offering aid to resolve a problem if they can, and not ensuring a particular outcome.

People like to place the responsibility for the health on the doctor, but in reality, the responsibility always lies with the patient.
The source code for Task is very readable but also kind of subtle, and makes for a good study. I would say definitely give it a shot to trace the flow from Task.async[0] to Task.await[1] to Task.Supervised.start_link[2] to Task.Supervised.reply[3]. There is some subtle interplay with regard to waiting for messages/timeouts and process links.

I dislike CSS Grid because it takes away almost all the semantic of the HTML. Flexbox at least means your HTML tree corresponds to some kind of structure on the page, CSS Grid means you see this

<div class="GridParent">
<-! random amount of divs without classnames -->
</div>

And you're suddenly required to cross reference CSS to make sense of what's on the page. It's just ugly, even if it is wildly effective.

I am looking for an internship or junior/entry level dev position. I graduated University of Houston with an accounting degree, and have 8 years of experience working in IT. I recently graduated school where I went for a Full-Stack degree and am looking to get my foot in the door. I have recently been dipping my toe into UI/UX design as making websites is something I am very passionate about and I want to learn to make pretty websites that are functional.

I have been part of many big projects in my career including working with non-profits and school districts to help maximize their budget, and to help implement new technologies across their work force.

Is there some fundamental limit to the number of bits per photon that can be communicated via EM radiation? I think it does not exist, because photons aren't all equal, we can use very high frequency and X-ray quantum can probably carry much more information than RF quantum.
Posthog – open-source analytics and UX research tool
Different levels of managed haha, I think D1 provides a great infra layer for SQLite on the Edge, however it stops there. It's missing the dev tools required to manage a production database for a bigger team.

We're finding ways to keep cost low, with other methods of smart caching at the CDN level, S3 storage of SQLite files, etc.

One thing I found personally and have seen others face is that D1 is great on the technical side of things but just bad on the usability side which prevents many from trying out D1 or even actually implementing it for prod! Having the right UI and well built dev tooling around database is as important as the database itself. we see this with companies like supabase, people go there for the tooling built around Postgres and not just Postgres.

>but in practice the exception is often eaten by too-generic except blocks in library code and never reaches user code

Interesting, C# has a special case for this:

>ThreadAbortException is a special exception that can be caught, but it will automatically be raised again at the end of the catch block.
If you haven’t already, download Rectangle for Mac. It makes window management sane.
I think it stems from every one of their songs sounding like an imitation of “smells like teen spirit”. Except that Kurt cobain was- or at least is seen as- authentic, raw and vulnerable, whereas nickelback comes across as a pretentious imitation loaded with macho posturing. Kurt would have hated them, which is why many others do.

Besides that, their music is really boring- in the sense of being extremely predictable. Lots of other music you hear on the radio is boring too, of course. But it’s a double whammy.
If a future is canceled it will run its destructors, so cleanup will usually happen correctly even if the developer didn’t think about it. Connections and files will be closed, memory released, locks unlocked. There are exceptions to that of course, bacause not running something to completion may break business logic - but no language can protect from those kinds of errors. And cancellation can happen only in await points which makes it much easier to analyze than being interrupted at any place like in Java.
Ask HN: App Development Agencies
Hi Team! I have a startup idea I'd like to get built. I used to code, but feel like I am not up to speed and think I'd like to outsource. Does anyone know of any good app development companies that have good reviews and a history of building startups/apps for early stage companies?

Résumé/CV: https://resume.sadauskas.com/

Email: paul at sadauskas.com

There's an inflection point in every startup, where you've got your MVP and some initial customers, and now you need to scale _everything_. Not just the performance of your application, but entire features to support a new kind of larger customer. You need to grow the team, not just engineering, but product and customer support, and also incorporate the tools to support them.

This is where I'm in my groove, and at my most effective. I've grown teams from 3 to 50+, improved performance while scaling to 100x the load, and designed and built features from the ground up in an iterative and agile manner to minimize time-to-delivery while maximizing flexibility for future work.

I have over 20 years' experience as a "web application" developer, in a variety of languages and technologies. I've been a Rails developer since there was a Rails, releasing my first app on 0.11 in 2005, and have kept up with it since. I'm comfortable working at entire levels of the app stack, from tweaking drop shadows in SCSS to optimizing database queries and debugging stack traces. I have the experience to know when to crank out some quick and dirty code vs take the time to architect a foundation that will scale and provide a platform upon which the team can build stable features for years.

I work with other teams/departments within the company and customers to work to figure out optimal solutions to problems, gathering and balancing the various tradeoffs involved. I also really enjoying pairing with other developers, since we can both learn something new, as well as mentoring and leveling up the juniors.

I'm involved in the various Ruby communities, have spoken at Rubyconf, and frequent the local Boulder Ruby group since its beginning. I've been involved with major Ruby open-source development in the past, like Merb and DataMapper, and am still an active contributor to smaller projects such as Dry-rb.

If you're an early stage startup that has found product/market fit, and needs someone to scale both your product and your team, then I'd be a great choice to help you out.
"than Europe with its smaller countries and frequent struggles"

I think old china had actually lots in common with old europe: lots of small kingdoms and warlords battling over their villages. China wasn't really one united nation either, for most of its time.
Thanks! will take a look :)
Did you find a solution eventually ?
Weird. If I were to personify Windows, it’d be a creepy guy who touches me without consent. Since, you know, Microsoft loves to force updates on you at the most inconvenient times.
> I think you missed the part of the strategy where losing 75% of customers is actually part of the plan.

Yes, but they want that 75% to be a particular type of customer, i.e., all the small ones. I'm not sure if a 14,000 employee, 24,000-VM customer would be considered "small":

Of all the Great Sophomoric Questions, "what is the meaning of life" is the most sophomoric of all. The paradigm case of the sophomoric question.

An observation, not a criticism! The author is a professor of philosophy, it is in fact his professional duty to engage with and teach the Great Sophomoric Questions.

And nearly all of us were sophomores, once or twice. Some of us, presumably, are sophomores right this instant.

Fortunately for all of us, after millennia of searching enquiry, this question, finally, has a definitive answer: the Meaning of Life is a 1983 musical sketch comedy, by the inimitable British troupe of Oxbridge philosophers, Monty Python.

While better known for their invention of the most popular programming language in data science, we owe the Pythons a great debt for at last settling this question, once and for all.
in many situations we need to scroll both vertically and horizontally -- for example a Excel spreadsheet / google sheets, or maps

even on touch screens -- depending on the UI -- if the entire display area is "hot" the scrollbars might be the only way to pan around without editing / triggering other actions

And my web page about it also says that I haven’t optimized it yet.

It’s not necessary to allocate all locals in the heap and have 50x overhead. It’s that way now because I’m only just getting started.

Bounds checks + an unsound conservative GC isn’t worth the overhead it imposes since it still leaves your code memory unsafe.

Ultimatly the popular Parliament and the government council can block it, and the leaders of each member government can of course nominate commissioners who do not wish such laws passed

The reality is that democracy if governments want this type of law - hell large numbers of the people do. It’s the problem with democracy.

Certain interests dont like the EU as it’s harder to manipulate than a typical national government and people.
1. Growing software compl... ehm, bloat. Seen almost everywhere (web frameworks among the worst offenders).

2. Existing software built using languages like C where anything goes. Memory-safe languages are on the rise, but not (yet?) the norm. And those help but aren't a silver bullet anyway. Formal methods / verification are niche.

3. # of bugs per X lines of code written is -on average- more or less constant. There's better & worse programmers, there's many tools to detect issues, but if you write 10x more code there will be ~10x more bugs in it.
