The problem is C lacks an equivalent to C++’s constexpr (or preceding template insanity), so you can’t use functions in constant contexts, eg

struct S {
int foo[max(10, 15)];
}

Isn’t possible in C, macros are the only option.

So even if you were to try to use _Generic in a macro to handle type correct dispatch you would not be able to use that macro in many of the contexts it is needed.

Honestly constexpr is something that would really help C, and does not need to bring in any other c++ features. Although I guess in this case the lack of the full template and such features set would mean matching the kernel requirements would still require a macro+_Generic to adopt.
Maybe the best thing here is to not run software that you don't trust. Why would you run sketchy software on your computer in the first place?

It's like having a bully picking on you, and then instead of getting help or fighting back, you negotiate a deal to just start giving him free punches to your face and access to your bank account.
Hazard3 pointer https://github.com/Wren6991/Hazard3

I think it's cool as a cucumber that we can choose fully open-source RISC-V if we want. My guess is the RV cores are slower clock-per-clock than the M33 cores; that is benchmark scores for M33's will be better, as Hazard3 is only 3-stage pipeline - but so is M33. Can't wait for the benchmarks.
It just means that the die already had to be large enough to physically fit the number of pin pads that they wanted to have. It doesn’t really say anything about the RISC-V cores. They could be big or small. But these do seem to be almost as powerful as the ARM cores, based on what people have said. (I still want to see more benchmarks.)
Exciting read!

The entirety of https://github.com/dotnet/dotnet (which is a VMR for full-source build of Roslyn, runtime and everything else that goes into runtime-only and SDK packages) is MIT, which is as permissive as it gets, save for CC0 or Unlicense.

I always wondered what is the motivation behind the negative comments like these on .NET submissions. Is this because .NET is mostly made by MS employees instead of Google (which is an AdTech company) or Oracle (which has a license trap JDK distribution)?
Companies like Netflix with bigger market caps are still on AWS.

I can imagine the productivity of spinning up elastic cloud resources vs fixed data center resourcing being more important, especially considering how frequently a company like Figma ships new features.
You can also use external resistors.
Underpowered? Other than the lack of upgradability/repairability, the Apple Si machines seem pretty powerful, it's just the steady slide of macOS towards being a locked-down toy with a tablet UI that makes me edge towards the Linux world.

No.

As a software engineer, I will never again work at a company where the product is not software. Software at non-software companies is a cost center, not a profit center, and cost centers get fucked. It's thankless, depressing, soul destroying work.

Maybe start a new company whose goal is to write software for companies like yours. I have worked at a startup launched by execs from established industry with inside knowledge of what is required, and it was truly fun, even though the great recession brought it to an end (acquired for pennies).

If you do it yourself, in house, there are plenty of thirsty contractors and consultants who will be very happy to bleed you dry.

Basically, if you have to ask, then the answer is no, you can't afford it.
>es Hispanics absolutely have their own culture, their own religion, and their own politics.

Which ones? They have several, from mega liberal to far right; and in religion you can have from Jews in Argentine to Catholics, Evangelicals, Buddhists and even die-hard Islamics.

From cultures, 10% of Spain knows shit about each other. If any, they care aboud not just about their province, but their damn country. Then, an average Spaniard knows shit about what actually happens across the pond except major issues in the News. Seriously.

That's like saying the Brits from Leicester are pushing the Utah Bible Belt into the Europeans.

Thus, when you met a Hispanic, unless you know him well, you can't get an actual background at the first glance.
Actually independent wheel braking as part of an electronic traction control system is pretty common and _can be_ excellent. The Land Rover Discovery looks to have gotten a bit soft in the latest iteration, but they've used that system for years. Coupled with the coil suspension all round with good articulation, they're well regarded off road. Not long-term durable on high speed rough roads, mind you, but brilliant at climbing a snotty hill.

For serious or regular off road work, a mechanical locking diff is the way to go. Yes, most electronic systems will completely freak out and stop you going anywhere in soft sand until you remember to turn them off. They do have their place though.
I avoid working at organisations with NIH syndrome - if they are below a certain size (i.e. they lack a standing dev-eng team to support their homegrown K8s "equivalent"). Extra red flags if the said homegrown-system was developed by that guy[1] who's ostensibly a genius and has very strong opinions about his system. Give me k8s' YAML-hell any day instead, at least that bloat has transferable skills, amd I can actually Google common resolutions.

1. Has been at org for so long, management condones them flaunting the rules, like pushing straight to prod. Hates the "inefficiency" of open source platforms and purpose-built something "suitable for the company" by themselves, no documentation you have to ask them to fix issues because they don't accept code or suggestions from others. The DSL they developed is inconsistent and has no parser/linter.
Iridium considered to be viable, it's just late for few years, when already appear affordable global GSM roaming, when Iridium literally made to be very similar to satellite GSM.

Starlink is totally different beast, as it is magnitudes faster than GSM and literally belongs to broadband Internet, when have virtually global coverage (yes, exists 4G and even 5G, but they don't have global coverage now).

These are somewhere similar to cryptocurrencies, which lose 1st world (and most important market), because created by scientists of 1st world, to solve problems which are not important for first world, and 2nd/3rd worlds are not capable to maintain sustainable development/support of crypto-technologies.

So from first look could appear as cryptocurrencies are not economically viable at all, but I think, their real problem, that 2nd/3rd worlds are too fragmented to gather resources need to develop solution of their problems, not just be involved in works of 1st world developers.
Specifically what are you referring to? Many people, civilian and military and political, were making threats of all kinds in those last months.
A valuation is a just headline number which have no operational bearing.

Their ARR in 2022 was around $400M-450M. Say the infra budget at a typical 10% would be $50M. While it is a lot of money, it is not build your hardware money, also not all of it would be compute budget. They also would be spending on other SaaS apps like say Snowflake etc to special workloads like with GPUs, so not all workloads would be in-house ready. I would surprised if their commodity compute/k8s is more than half their overall budgets.

It is lot more likely to slow product growth to focus on this now, especially since they were/are still growing rapidly.

Larger SaaS companies than them in ARR still find using cloud exclusively is more productive/efficient.

I knew Intel was a dying company when Jim Keller quit in disgust. The man is pure productivity, a relentless optimiser that just wants to build great things. Intel broke him and he ran away screaming.

PS: Microsoft demoting Jeffrey Snover (inventor of PowerShell) is in the same category of a business decaying from the top down. He quit too, and is now working for Google.

Shouldn't be too bad. My gut would be toa naphthalene acetic acid ester, treat with LDA, add (4-pyridinyl)acetaldehyde to get a diketone by claisen-type condensation, then treat with hydroxylamine then reflux with hydrazine to form the pyrazole not sure how you would get the n-oxide but there is likely a selective oxidant available.

The n oxide kind of scares me a bit. Seems like it could have some interactions with liver enzymes. Usually you avoid them if you can.
There is no need to guess, they've SAID that the simple RISC-v cores they're designed for it don't have FPU or SIMD like the Arm M33 does (the previous Pico's CM0 didn't have either), and the RISC-V core does 3.81 Coremark per MHz while the M33 does 4.09, so a 7% difference there.

Of course both are much better than the previous Cortex-M0+'s 2.46 Coremark/MHz, plus more MHz also: 150 vs 133.

I know of atleast three software engineers who quit programming to pursue music fulltime.

This lady[1] got a Computer Science degree from UC Berkeley, as even an intern at one of the faangs I believe. Quit the whole thing and caught a flight to India. She's sung about 100 songs now and is quite famous.

This guy[2] got a Computer Science degree and worked as a Visual Basic programmer. Also wrote some FoxPro and Clipper code. Was working at Leading Edge in those days. Quit software and started singing. Has sung over 7000 songs. Very rich, 9 figures.

This guy[3] got a PhD in Computer Science and wrote an algorithm to reduce non-standard matrices to approx Hermite Normal. Wrote a bunch of NLP papers, even published in a pure math journal! Then quit software and started writing songs. Has written over 1000 songs now. Very busy songwriter.

Congrats on the launch. I have a golang backend, postgres db and a react app. I have added auth using email, password salting and saving in pg. It was about 1 day of work to implement all of this.

I do not have OAuth or SAML however. Is that the differentiating factor, if I have to use your solution ? Is a basic auth setup such a complex thing to handroll ourselves ? I do not intend to be snide but genuinely curios about it. Incorporating your project, its lifecycle management, etc. seems more work than implementing a 3-4 APIs (/signup /signin /verify-email /forgot-password /reset-password) and a periodic job (trigger emails and stuff). Is it so complex that we should bring in a new dependency with its own deployment, backup, monitoring etc. lifecycle management ?
You correctly interpreted my meaning with "none of the above". An older gen Forester with a good set of tyres fitted can fit the bill, for sure. The Subaru Brumby is an outback legend and you still see plenty of them rolling around, going more places than you'd imagine possible.

A Subaru Crosstrek wearing it's original HT tyres, though? It's not intended as an off-road vehicle. That's not what it was built for. Low clearance, insufficient travel, weak tyres.
By containers on EC2 you mean installing docker on AMI's? How do you deploy them?

I really do think Google Cloud Run/Azure Container Apps (and then in AWS-land ECS-on-fargate) is the right solution _especially_ in that case - you just shove a container on and tell it the resources you need and you're done.
They moved to Amazon?
Sure you can use an AWS ASG, but I assume you also tie that into an AWS AlB/NLB. Then you use ACM for certs and now you are locked in to AWS times 3.

Instead you can do those 3 and more in k8s and it would be the same manifests regardless which k8s cluster you deploy to, EKS, AKS, GKE, on prem, etc.

Plus you don't get service discovery across VMs, you don't get a CSI so good luck if your app is stateful. How do you handle secrets, configs? How do you deploy everything, Ansible, Chef? The list goes on and on.

If your app is simple sure, I haven't seen simple app in years.
> From tests I've read, if you would compile something or render or encode/transcode (on CPU) or similar, there is a measurable effect. It will take only little bit longer but consume noticeably less energy.

One of my "benchmarks" included compiling a large rust project, I don't have the exact numbers, but in tge end it was such a tiny fraction (something like 5 seconds difference, with a compilation time of 2 minutes). Which is definitely not worth the ~70% increased power consumption.

> I'm curious why it is not possible to adjust these values in only few watt steps.

Don't know probably to keep it simple (and maybe nor to Fry your CPU if you swap your CPU to one which is rated for e.g. 65W TDP).

This "ECO Mode" has three settings:

"OFF" which means max TDP (in the case of my CPU 170W)

"105W",

"ON" which is 65W.

It also says in the description that "105W" mode only exists for CPUs with 170W TDP.

Also if you look at the other CPUs from AMD you'll see that they only sell CPUs with these TDP numbers and additionally 120W (the x3d variants), that's probably why they chose theese numbers.

It's worth bearing in mind that, although any of these can be accomplished with any number of other products as you point out, LB and Horizontal Scaling, in particular, have been solved problems for more than 25 years (or longer depending on how you count)

For example, even servers (aka instances/vms/vps) with load balancers (aka fabric/mesh/istio/traefik/caddy/nginx/ha proxy/ATS/ALB/ELB/oh just shoot me) in front existed for apps that are LARGER than can fit on a single server (virtually the definition of horizontally scalable). These apps are typically monoliths or perhaps app tiers that have fallen out of style (like the traditional n-tier architecture of app server-cache-database, swap out whatever layers you like).

However, K8s is actually more about microservices. Each microservice can act like a tiny app on its own, but they are often inter-dependent and, especially at the beginning, it's often seen as not cost-effective to dedicate their own servers to them (along with the associate load balancing, redundant and cross-AZ, etc). And you might not even know what the scaling pain points for an app is, so this gives you a way to easily scale up without dedicating slightly expensive instances or support staff to running each cluster; your scale point is on the entire k8s cluster itself.

Even though that is ALL true, it's also true that k8s' sweet spot is actually pretty narrow, and many apps and teams probably won't benefit from it that much (or not at all and it actually ends up being a net negative, and that's not even talking about the much lower security isolation between containers compared to instances; yes, of course, k8s can schedule/orchestrate VMs as well, but no one really does that, unfortunately.)

But, it's always good resume fodder, and it's about the closest thing to a standard in the industry right now, since everyone has convinced themselves that the standard multi-AZ configuration of 2014 is just too expensive or complex to run compared to k8s, or something like that.
It happened to me but the attachment was in a previous mail in the thread.
I have a ton of issues with Elon, and growing, on his social and political views, BUT...

...when you look at the zero-to-one of standing up Tesla and SpaceX from nothing, he's achieved something quite amazing - twice. Boeing has over a century of engineering experience and it has experienced more problems and more delays getting Starliner into operation than SpaceX did with Dragon.

Both Tesla and SpaceX have demonstrated fresh thinking, new ideas and new approaches to tired and incumbent thinking in both the automotive and aeronautical industries. While also getting the basics right. People bitch about panel gaps in Model 3's but Model 3s and Ys are actually the safest cars the EPA has ever tested in their class.

I think Boring Company is a bit silly and I'm not sure Elon can apply his thinking to X, but I wonder if we'll see similar performance to Tesla and SapceX from Neuralink.

I hold $TSLA and I would hold SpaceX if I could obtain some, I don't have any interest in holding $BA
These commenters exist (usually as bots) simply to sow a false narrative for political reasons - the views they extoll are not based on measurement or research. When active as bots, they present a idea of discord and doubt - this is a common tactic to give the appearance of the matter not being long-settled. It's also not uncommon for them to cite an unsourced anecdote which other than being irrelevant, most likely never even existed.

Rather telling is that the same user had also commented twice nearly simultaneously. These types of replies are typical for comments that mention climate or government spending.
I've never worked anywhere that has benefitted from avoiding lock-in. We would have saved thousands in dev-hours if we just used an ALB instead of tweaking nginx and/or caddy.

Also, if you can't convert an ALB into an Azure Load balancer, then you probably have no business doing any sort of software development.

> I think it shows just how much care and thoughtfulness went into turning up the dial on these nags that the button label incorrectly capitalizes the “to” in “Continue To Allow”. You can say, well, that’s a little thing. But that’s exactly the sort of little thing that almost never shipped from Apple, even in beta, until the last few years.

> Having to click through these confirmation nags every week, for every such utility you use, is not a little thing at all. It’s the sort of thing companies do when decisions like this are made by people looking to cover their asses, not make insanely great products.

I share Gruber's same sentiment. It makes me sad, as a longtime Mac fan, to witness the slow degradation of the platform. The polish, care, and thoughtfulness of earlier versions of OS X was, from my outside perspective, downstream of cultural and leadership conditions that no longer exist at Apple.

I fully expect macOS to continue sliding in quality unless and until some cultural reset happens... which is to say, I'm not holding my breath.
Apple really is an unusual phenomenon--in most other industries, the bulk of the profit is made on mass-market products, while high-end products are able to cater to a niche that is willing to spend much more. In smartphones, however, the highest-end product you can buy is actually quasi-mass-market--there is no Ferrari or Rolex of smartphones, an iPhone is legitimately the best product you can get, and it's within reach of a substantial portion of the buyer's market.

Not sure if this is good or bad, but it's certainly unusual, and it's part of the reason that this "monopoly" question is sometimes confusing--Apple makes by far the most profit despite also selling the highest-end product, and their unit sales, despite being somewhat less than Android, are still in the same ballpark.
This isn't exactly music but an adjacent career: acting.

About 20 years ago, I was in the chorus for a community theater production of La Boheme. The director was a moderately successful Hollywood actor, Ken Tigar, whom you've probably seen:

https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0863024/?ref_=fn_al_nm_1

AFAIK he's never the star, but he continues to get acting gigs, because as someone said about a musician: he shows up, he hits his mark, he doesn't cause any problems for the director. He's a professional, in other words.

So I have a lot of respect for the musician who might or might not have had a hit record, but they know their craft and they take it seriously.
