> We were always engineering-led and there was a lot of hubris...

So, long story short is that most engineers, especially ones as fanboyish as this, are wildly out of place in decision making and can't see the forest for the trees?

It doesn't seem that surprising.

Yes, but that is still better than the paperclip maximizer ending it all. That was all I was saying.

So you could apply vibration to the head bones. Not sure about any side effects.

This takeaway was a little odd to me in the context of 2008. I had been an AMD stalwart in my PCs since about 2000 (Athlon Thunderbird), but IIRC in 2008 Intel had the better processor. Better single core performance, better performance/watt, and I think AMD processors tended to have stability issues around this time. I remember I built a PC in 2009 with a Core processor for these reasons.

Obviously this is a niche market (gaming PC) perspective. But I don't think it was so clear cut.

You can just use Qt's DLLs and use NSIS to make a Windows installer. I have developed the Anymeal recipe database software like that and the resulting installer is 20 MByte https://wedesoft.github.io/anymeal/

People keep yelling about nvidia stock but that feels like a huge bubble. AI disillusionment will hit and the stock will implode. Nvidia hasn’t made any inroads on producing actual systems, just gpus. Once Apple or Microsoft have a fast enough chip (TOPs wise), nobody will care about nvidia lead except in the datacenter. Seems like a failing position to me.
Interesting! I always thought, this kind of data was collected from a plethora of borderline shady browser plugins (SEO plugins amongst them, ironically), toolbars and alt-browsers.

This is also, why I think the data must be heavily biased. For example the HN demographic must be severely underrepresented, because most of us are careful what we install.

That just confirmed that you're using "the same backend provider."

There are two types of programming, and each has its own definition of "relevant": new programming, with its preference for ready-made components to reduce complexity, and old-time creative programming, which usually was about the creation of new things.

The "creation" part is key. Perl is a tool for "easy creation", for creators that want to be more productive. This is what Larry Wall wanted.

This is why Perl is good for prototyping. You "create" the prototype, and then you "translate" it to something else.

Perl is quite relevant for me, but I say this as a creator.

Anything will snap in that case. Resources are finite, increasing workload past the team limit is a bad idea whatever the methodology.
Water is in no way disappearing in the place where I'm from, yet there are media and political campaigns about coming water shortages there. Even though it's geologically impossible. It's comparable to creating a big scare about tropical diseases in some place like Iceland. And everybody has to pretend that all science and evidence in front of your eyes is moot.

Has the human mind deteriorated now to the extent that people cannot understand that some issues are local? I am reminded of the Soviet days, when they changed farming techniques with disastrous results, because they had "new knowledge". The scientific knowledge in question was "I god damned said so" from the rulers. Anybody who disagrees is a traitor, sent into exile, or down voted by hackers.
They should be held fully liable for damages for this kind of nonsense when indeed it goes wrong.
True, however in practice this is rarely an issue. You usually only use a tiny subset of construction rules. And if you ever make a mistake, they are easily caught by static analysis tools.
> The committee is not willing because the implementors explicitly said it is not going to happen,

Yeah, and I think this is the problem at the root of my gripe. If the committee was willing to reach this point earlier I think we’d be better off!

> But implementors are not: they can bless their own span with superpowers if they want to

Except that they don’t. And we can go around in circles here - I maintain this is a design issue, and it should be fixed at the design stage, rather than passed on to the compiler vendor who are stuck behind the theoretical design that pretends an ABI doesn’t exist, and their customers who will not upgrade if they break the ABI.

Lastly, I agree that the committee cannot force conformance or optimality, nor should they. But their unwillingness to accept that unless it’s technically impossible, the vendors will move mountains for conformance. This leaves us fighting with each other over who is to blame (see this thread), and in my opinion the end result is a half baked outcome that solves the paper problem but doesn’t solve the actual users wants.

It slows down the testing. All the invalid inputs are generated and then discarded, so it’s much more efficient to come up with a construct that succeeds all the time or at least most of the time.

If you ask for an integer but only want odds (as an example), 50% of the generated values will be tossed out with filtering. If you instead take every integer and make them odd (double and add 1, for instance) then all the generated inputs will be usable.
Here on Airstrip One food manufacturing companies can add all sorts of chemicals without putting them on the label.

So nobody really knows what is in the product.

These chemicals can legally be added because they are part of the production process and do not appear on the food label.

I personally do not eat anything that has been squirted out of a machine or stepped foot inside a factory. toooo risky..

I make everything myself, yoghurt, mayonnaise, sauerkraut, peanut butter, elderflower cordial and pickles. I make my own bread, pasta, cakes, biscuits and crumpets. I grind my own flour from organic rye grain. I even make my own beef burgers with organic beef.

I make my own jam. During the summer months I collect blackberries, Damsons, plums, black currants, blackberries, apples and elderflower from the countryside.

I pick wild garlic and go mushroom hunting in Surrey UK.

There is no technical minimum; the only thing to keep in mind is that lift/drag ratio relates potential energy (moving mass up against gravity) to travel distance.
This applies independent of speed and vehicle type (even running counts!).

If they ever attempt this in America looks like I’ll be driving older vehicles for the rest of my life.

At first glance these look like sources for backlink data to me, which is the easy part.

I think the real value of a keyword tool like ahrefs lies in the estimated search volume which comes from different sources than the backlinks.

Is this about a monopolistic provider of backlink data or search volume estimates?
I can say it's not that one, if it's that important to know - DataForSEO is our provider for every aspect at the moment.
That's a very harsh comment to give someone that has poured hours of their life into something trying to help others unpaid. You could at least politely ask what makes it different than redash.

> [...] The printed result would be 0. This is because we value-initialize t and, since T has a non-user-provided default constructor, the object is zero-initialized (hence t.x is zero-initialized) then default-initialized (calling the implicitly-defined default constructor, which does nothing).

edit: I missed that the author is actually value-initializing x!!! The result definitely violates expectations!

Generally, the details of the rules are arcane and sometimes have non-sensical dark corners having been extended and patched up for the last 40 years. But 99.9%[1] of the time you get what you expect.

I big improvement would be making default initialization explicit, and otherwise always value initialize. Explicit value initialization is so common that the very rare times I want default initialization (to avoid expensively zeroing large arrays) I need to write a fat comment. Writing "std::array<int, 100> = void;" (or whatever the syntax would be) would be much better.

> I seriously wish Nvidia and AMD could merge now – a technology cross-licensing that takes advantages of each other’s fab capabilities is going to help a lot in bringing the cost of GPU cycles down much furthe.

Given Nvidia's track record I'd sooner imagine them just slacking off and overcharging more for lack of competition. I wish AMD would actually compete with them on GPUs (for graphics, not AI). Interestingly Intel seems to be trying to work up to that now.
I wonder how this works for hobby projects/prototypes. Lots of people put something "on the shelf" for a while. I have the source for a game I was working on in the mid 90s on an Atari 400. If I release that today would I be the winner? Or is there an amount of regular dev time required?
Glad you mentioned PLCs. I keep seeing more and more young engineers reinventing wheels with raspberry pi and arduinos, especially for things like test jigs. It’s almost like PLCs are a secret in some industries.
Familiarity Breeds Enjoyment (2012)
I think I'm not adequately understanding your comment. Nvidia has huge software teams building accelerators that optimize application of their GPUs for all kinds of applications. They also now offer their own "cloud" and have partnered with the hyperscalers for integration as well as GTM. Those same hyperscalers are also almost unilaterally driving Nvidia's growth the past few years. The cloud market is still growing and will continue to do so. Nvidia's consumer business almost doesn't matter anymore.

The human body and the human mind are perfectly fitted to one another. They co-evolved.

Any fundamental change in the human brain would imply a fundamental change in the human form, to enable acting on the enhanced understanding. Otherwise, the enhanced understanding would be useless for survival.

The contrapositive would mean that for as long as the human form has been about the same, human ingenuity and creativity have also remained about the same.

If you want to locate when human creativity and ingenuity began, it will have been at or before the basic structure of the hands, larynx, feet, eyes, etc. came to be.
> As a consumer, the IP theft has been fantastic. (...) Now is it at all ethical? Perhaps not. But it’s extremely difficult to have sympathy.

Do you think that we reached the point where Westerners aren't willing to pay the Civil price for Human Rights, and other Western values?
I gave sc-im a try years ago but quickly hit a showstopper for my needs. The built-in functions are very limited (for example no MEDIAN), but you can write your own external functions. However, external functions can only accept a single cell, and not a range of cells, as input. For me, operating on a range of cells is kind of the point of a spreadsheet. It seems that this hasn't been addressed yet.
On the contrary, that makes a ton of sense - if you have a fuzzy system with a potential for people to trigger massive resource usage, it would be silly not to put a hard restriction on the tasks that are resource-intensive.
The problem with it was that they realized they didn't even need the warheads, they could just switch the plane to an open cycle reactor over enemy territory, spewing endless radioactivity and making the entire Soviet Union a nuclear death zone for thousands of years.

That's also why it was classified I believe. No one wanted the Soviets to get the same idea.
I am confused.

I always thought keyword tools use both: backlink
data and estimated search volumes.

For example ahrefs has, to the best of my knowledge, its own crawler for backlink data but mostly buys search volume estimates.

Does your tool offer search volume estimates at all and does it come from the same provider as the backlink data?
The Great Cholesterol Scam and the Dangers of Statins
•There is a widespread belief that elevated cholesterol is the “cause” of cardiovascular disease. However, a large body of evidence shows that there is no association between the two and that lower cholesterol significantly increases one’s risk of death.

•An alternative model (which the medical industry buried) proposes that the blood clots the body uses to heal arterial damage, once healed, create the characteristic atherosclerotic lesions associated with heart disease. The evidence for this model, in turn, is much stronger than the cholesterol hypothesis and provides many important insights for treating heart disease.

•The primary approach to treating heart disease is to prescribe cholesterol lowering statin drugs (to the point, over a trillion dollars have now been spent on them). Unfortunately, the benefits of these highly toxic drugs are minuscule (e.g., at best taking them for years extends your life by a few days) and the harms are vast (statins are one of the most common pharmaceuticals that severely injure patients).

•In this article we will explore the specific injuries caused by statin drugs, the forgotten causes of cardiovascular disease, and our preferred treatments for heart and vascular diseases.

As a nerd, I get you think it was the main problem.

But most people didn't care about that.

The main contenders were:

- Linky calculates my electricity bill badly. It was in fact more accurate, but sometimes it meant a raise in bill.

- Linky emits dangerous radiation or magnetism. That was, of course, a total hoax.

- Linky didn't allow me to cheat on my bill anymore (lots of people around me were hacking their meter to pay less).

- Linky is forced on us by Big Electricity. So it's bad.

The privacy thing is legit, but all those people had full facebook accounts, most of them had full sync on their smartphone, use chrome without an adblock, and so on.

Only geeks like us really care about the privacy aspect.

On the other hand, it's a greener solution:

- Less people in cars to check meters.

- Live load balancing on the power grid.

- Clear consumption stats so that you can optimize your own bill.

So the linky, which eventually got into most homes, is deployed with success.

But it took so many years because of the pushback.

Eventually, if the pushback would have been just about the privacy, we could have focused on fixing that and would have had a cheaper, faster deployment, with privacy.

We had the worst: expensive, long deployment, and the privacy invasion is still in place.

I'm not an expert, by dry air has a very low heat capacity. So you get a house with cold walls, floor and roof. And the dry warm air is rather ineffective in transferring heat to the walls, floors, etc.

In contrast, if you have underfloor heating, you have a relatively large surface filled with warm water that heats up the floor. And then you have an even bigger surface that transfers heat to the rest of the house.

In the end the house is more easy to heat because it doesn't depend on an airflow to reach all parts the house.

it being this complicated can be fine (if there isn't too much of it)

but only if not knowing how the complicated parts work doesn't create any subtle issues and has reasonable compiler time errors and isn't fundamental needed to write any code

Because then you can use the language without needing to know how exactly that complexity works and if you get it wrong you get a reasonable compiler error. And then decide to either spend some time to learn what you didn't know or you just write the code differently. But in either case you don't have a situation with a unexpected runtime error which should be impossible and where you have no good way to know where to even start looking.
Vulnerabilities in Sharp Multi-Function Printers
> So, long story short is that most engineers, especially ones as fanboyish as this, are wildly out of place in decision making and can't see the forest for the trees?

My experience is rather that people who are passionate about engineering simply have a very different "taste" in hardware and buying decisions than other groups. So they see the forest insanely well, but they see very different paths through this forest than other people (say analysts or the general population) do.
