Compare a graduate, wearing a suit, walking around streets in the summer, trying to get work at any company that will hire him for programming, then any cafe that will just let him serve drinks, and still not get hired. Compare this smart kid, who might have not got a perfect grade due to unforeseen circumstances, smart , intelligent, willing to do anything, for a job that pays $5 an hour in his field. Compare this 21 year old, to another man, who is CEO , of a company, that somehow exists solely to protect the planet, through humanitys good will. Now imagine that 21 year old, not moving to amsterdam, to live in a flat, to do his best for not just his peers, and respect to the company, but for the "good side" of every well meaning, often poor citizen willing to help improve the planet. Imagine this kid saying, nah I rather fly in a jet, that helps destroy the environment, and inconvenience my peers, and cost everyone involved with me and the company just so I can be closer to my garden.

It doesn't come down to whether the CEO train timetable is slightly out of whack. Its literally everything. Some humans exist and grew on a plane of existence so different to the reality of the greater majority, that its often too hard for them to even comprehend it.

I'm not bitter really, I retired young. But I could never bring myself to be that CEO, even now that I have money.

This isn't a humble brag I'm just explaining how alien some peoples lives are, including most of you, with your 6 figure salaries compared to the "norm". Just a friendly reminder. /rant
Do researchers make any real money? I feel like all around I hear about it being stale there as far as funding goes.
I think there is something to sitting down to stare at a macro until you understand how it works. I remember the first time I understood how cut worked. It was a revelation that led me to writing more and more monstrous syntax-rules macros until I ended up with goof-loop[0], which is now sort of finished, but also has parts that are so hairy that I don't really dare make any large changes.

I guess that is what you get from starting with (chibi loop) and bolting on a lot of extra features.

Another anecdata point... For me leaving academia was a big challenge - I'd have to find a job, pass interviews, move home, etc, etc. Scary stuff! But as soon as I had actually done this, my new career path in industry went smoothly, and my first year in industry massively improved my personal confidence. As an academic I was surrounded by other academics, but in industry I was forced to interact and communicate with a more diverse group of people, and I quickly found that it wasn't as scary as I had thought. E.g. doing product demos to senior people, supporting our marketing people by building prototypes, etc.

Amazingly, the company I moved to had much better tooling for the type of software research research I was recruited for than I had had access to at Uni. I built something (as part of a supportive team that understood software dev) in about six months, that I had struggled (and failed) to build in academia over a couple of years.
You want game developers to learn a bunch of new tools in an unfamiliar operating system to solve an artificial problem that said operating system itself created just so they can target the minuscule sliver of the PC gaming market that runs Linux but don't dual-boot for games? Get real. Nobody is going to do that for such a tiny number of customers.

However you give them a tool to take the same Windows build they ship to the rest of their customers and they get to ship for Linux too? Why would they say no?

We're going to need a whole extra order of magnitude on the Linux desktop market share before we'll ever see serious investment from the games industry at large for native Linux builds.

And what does it matter if you're running a Windows PE calling Win32? The system is still Linux. How different is it to rely on Proton then it is to rely on flatpak or another containerization technology to ship your app. You still have to bolt on a giant pile of complexity just to ship a zip file of game.exe and its libraries.
If you look at his Strava route he was running along the riverside footpath. His route ends where it meets the road to the south east of Stretham:

https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/son-of-mike-lynchs-trag...

He would most likely have been trying to cross the road to continue his run on the path on the other side. I've run this route along the river myself.

This area is part of the Fenland, so the land is very flat. As a result the road bridge over the river is raised up above the level of the surrounding area.

This means that as he was crossing the road he would have been invisible to any car approaching from the other side of the bridge until it crested the bridge. It's entirely possible that a car travelling fast - the speed limit on that road is 60mph but plenty of people exceed it - could have come over the bridge and the driver would have seen him too late to stop in time.

The placement of the footpath crossing, unsighted from one direction, is - as you can tell - far from ideal.

When I'm driving on that road I ease off approaching the bridge: in part this is because I know there's that footpath crossing the road on the other side. But it's also - and whilst I don't want to be too harsh to the driver involved here there's really no excuse for this having happened - because I'm not a complete moron and know that, regardless of how well I think I know the road, it's unwise to go over a blind crest at speed, and especially in a heavily agricultural area where large, slow moving farm machinery is a commonplace site on local roads.
Or Bottles instead of Lutris.
blaze rush (if I recall the name right) for instance, the update dropped native elf/linux support.

If we are honnest with ourselves, we know that many games devs which did provide native elf/linux builds and which are not announcing elf/linux support anymore for their future games, it is because of proton.

And at the same time, you have some "games" currently being developed which are running state-of-the-art UE5 engine (for instance "vein") with a native elf/linux build. And we are talking super small teams.
> given the absolutely staggering number of MIT licensed repos under github.com/Microsoft I don't know that such a thing would be as bad as you envision

Well they keep their main stuff carefully closed. Github isn't open source for example:)

And simply think would they pay Github the money they paid (or any money at all) if it was open source like Gitlab?

I guess if you say it's public and autonomous I wouldn't mind if Gitlab bought Sourcegraph. If MS did it I would mind a ton
Express your algorithms as queries over arrays and you can change representation of arrays keeping queries the same.

Who said SQL and columnar/row storage models? ;)

Something like LINQ can do the job as well.
It often happens that coming up with the right theorem is a lot harder than finding its proof, but that's life. You can't have everything be easy, otherwise we'd have finished by now.
Not the same thing. A scammer doesn't know how to code. This guy probably knows how to code but has the worst attitude about it.
No need to pay someone, you can make one. What do you need? A secondhand manual pantograph mill someone is getting rid of for a few hundred dollars and a little jewellers lathe?

And of course a book on watchmaking.

We've been making watches for about half a millennium now, and if a craftsman in the 1500s could do it, surely a curious man with semi-modern secondhand tools from the 70s can too.

I'm going to do exactly this eventually and it's going to "cost" me maybe as much as a flagship phone all up, time and effort not included.

Hey there! I'm launching one of my tools here. It's a Bulk Image Background Blurring that uses 4 AI models. Give it a try!

It's 100% privacy-friendly, meaning your images don't go to any server to blur backgrounds. Everything happens on your device.

All other tools out there keep a copy of your image on their server while processing. You can't be 100% sure that your image will be deleted afterwards.

But if you use this tool, I guarantee that your images never leave your computer. They stay on your device and are processed there. Hence, it's 100% privacy-friendly. Plus, it's free!
Yes, it's clear it happened out of town. His Strava route is shown on this article: https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/world/son-of-mike-lynchs-trag....

He was most likely trying to cross the road to continue his running route along the footpath where it continued to follow the river on the other side.

Is this a bit? Who says this? Its hard for me to believe that you genuinely hear a statement that means, for example, that being ADHD doesn't make you bad it just makes you different but interpret it to mean that you have to ignore that you find them intolerably messy and also marry them for some reason.

You're still allowed to form opinions about people and your mutual suitability based on their traits! Obviously! This isn't difficult.
> there's not been a single Windows game I could not play on Linux at full settings

I also enjoy playing on Linux but this really depends on the type of games you play. If you play a lot of multiplayer games, you will be disappointed on Linux, Riot games won't work, Blizzard games won't work, Fortnite won't work

Even with Elden Ring that runs perfectly on my Linux machine, I cannot use any multiplayer features (summoning friends, reading messages etc.) because the EAC anticheat doesn't work on Linux
Okay, sounds solid but dummy question: What are my chances of doing this if I'm from Europe? Also, I don't have a full UNI degree, I dropped out after I got my Bachelors.
Thank you Uberman, we are working in developer tools at the moment. Fintech seems a bit saturated imo.
I'm gonna talk about charge, essentially the same thing happens with spin, but it gets a bit more complicated.

The TLDR is this, charges with the same sign repel each other, if you're trying to make a black hole have more and more charge you have to do more and more work to push the charges you're adding into it (imagine forcing the repulsive poles of two magnets together as one of the magnets gets stronger and stronger). At an extremal black hole it is no longer possible to push hard enough to force the charge to get into the black hole.

A more interesting thing is to look at the event horizon.

First take a look a the quadratic function x^2 - a, for some positive real value a. Let's say we start at a=1, then the equation x^2 - 1 = 0 has two solutions, x=1 and x=-1, the function looks like a "u" shape passing through these points.

Now let's make a smaller and smaller, this shifts the u shape up, and the two solutions of the equation at plus or minus the square root of a get closer together. When we hit a = 0 there is only 1 solution, and when a is strictly positive there are no real solutions anymore.

Thus is roughly what happens to the event horizons of a charged black hole as you increase the charge. A charged black hole generically has two event horizons, an inner one and an outer one. As you increase the charge (while keeping the mass constant) the event horizons get closer and closer together. At the charge for an extremal black hole the two event horizons are in exactly the same place (the same as our quadratic when a=0), above this extremal charge there is no event horizon anymore.

We don't really have a good idea of what a black hole with no event horizon looks like, the event horizon of a "normal" black hole shields us from whatever insane physics is going on inside (general relativity predicts a singularity with infinite density in the middle). Most physicists believe that it is impossible for a black hole to exist with no event horizon.
How about this instead: if the company you are a CxO at has ever once spoken about how sustainable/green/environmental it is, you're not allowed private jets. In fact if the trip doesn't require you to cross an ocean, you can take a bike.

I also see code as art, not in a simple visual sense but in a sense of elegant, clean and smart engineering solutions and use of language capabilities.

Visual text part is something a linter should take care of for practical reasons.
Also who is paying for the three times a week personal jet flights?

Edit: Nevermind the article says corporate jet. Silly me. Imagine Starbucks even paying the gas for a serf to commute to their job, much less the vehicle.

Also, the data doesn't seem to show that people who follow trends end up making more. It's quite the opposite - focusing on niche languages like Go, Rust or frameworks like Flutter can make you more.
Not sure if being autistic on its own would cause this, but I suppose it's often comorbid with other things. Otherwise I agree.

You missed the big question: why is a CEO not only not moving to the HQ city, but taking a private jet every couple of weeks instead?
Yes, and it also creates a more active community. I played some old games with wine about 12 years ago. Like you said about WineD3D, it was not a good experience, just usable.

And wine does not implement all the APIs. If you do not submit requests or report bugs, the community will not fix it. So the source code contains a lot of "fixme" and stubs. Some APIs are implemented without the support of some flags.

In this case an active and sustainable community is very helpful. Not only for the business of Valve and CodeWeavers, but also the whole "running Windows apps on Linux" thing.
this "supercommute" word has some positive vibes to it, how about "will shittycommute" or something like that instead
This discussion of societal euphemism would not be complete without a reference to George Orwell's Politics and the English Language

https://orwell.ru/library/essays/politics/english/

> In our time, political speech and writing are largely the defence of the indefensible. Things like the continuance of British rule in India, the Russian purges and deportations, the dropping of the atom bombs on Japan, can indeed be defended, but only by arguments which are too brutal for most people to face, and which do not square with the professed aims of the political parties. Thus political language has to consist largely of euphemism, question-begging and sheer cloudy vagueness. Defenceless villages are bombarded from the air, the inhabitants driven out into the countryside, the cattle machine-gunned, the huts set on fire with incendiary bullets: this is called pacification. Millions of peasants are robbed of their farms and sent trudging along the roads with no more than they can carry: this is called transfer of population or rectification of frontiers. People are imprisoned for years without trial, or shot in the back of the neck or sent to die of scurvy in Arctic lumber camps: this is called elimination of unreliable elements. Such phraseology is needed if one wants to name things without calling up mental pictures of them.

This is why I dislike the euphemism treadmill (although it's impolite to start a dysphemism treadmill!) - to use them at all is to shy away from truth, because the truth is often brutal.

What kind of society would we have if we were open and honest with each other?
This must be why some of my friends have started to pathologize neurotypical behaviors, so the healing can begin.
Want to throw in blocky (https://github.com/0xERR0R/blocky). Supports modern protocols and easy to configure in one file. Migrated to this from pi-hole and never looked back.
Pls stop posting this here.

post the paper on https://arxiv.org/ or speak with your local university mathematics department. These would be far more qualified to assess a proof than HN.

I only ask because people who do mathematics in isolation are often quite naive and people reacting to such a fantastical proof on social media like here, are not equipped to evaluate it on its merits, (I’m certainly not, and unless you’re an active researching mathematician you’re probably not either)
Hearthstone mostly works. Wow doesn't
The Intel Lion Cove cores and the AMD Zen 5 cores have much more similar microarchitectures than any previous Intel and AMD pairs of competing CPUs, with the exception of the fact that in the consumer P-cores used in Lunar Lake and Arrow Lake Intel has removed the support for SMT and for AVX-512 (a.k.a. AVX10). I.e. for most operations Lion Cove and Zen 5 have the same number of functional units that can execute them, unlike for earlier competing cores where there were greater differences.

The only significant difference between Intel Lion Cove and AMD Zen 5 is that the former has an instruction decoder that can decode 8 instructions simultaneously, while the latter has 2 instruction decoders, each of which can decode 4 instructions simultaneously. Other small differences will matter only in special applications, e.g. it is likely that Lion Cove can compute floating-point divisions faster.

Therefore it is expected that at the same clock frequency in single-threaded applications the performance of the Core Ultra 200K series will be almost the same as that of the Ryzen 9000 series, perhaps with a very small advantage for Intel. Because Arrow Lake S is made by TSMC, the top Intel models will no longer have a higher clock frequency than AMD, which will contribute additionally to very similar single-threaded performance.

In multi-threaded performance, there will be large differences between the applications that use 512-bit AVX-512 instructions and those which do not use 512-bit AVX-512 instructions. The former will be much faster on Ryzen, while the latter are likely to be faster on Arrow Lake S, because Intel uses a better TSMC process, with higher energy efficiency.

The new Skymont E-cores have double AVX throughput in comparison with the E-cores of Meteor Lake/Raptor Lake/Alder Lake, so the contribution of the E-cores to the throughput of multi-threaded AVX applications will be much higher than in the previous Intel hybrid CPUs. For AVX instructions, a 24-core Arrow Lake S CPU will have 3/2 more vector functional units than a 16-core Zen 5, while when using 512-bit AVX-512 instructions a 16-core Zen 5 will have 4/3 more vector functional units than a 24-core Arrow Lake S. So the ISA used for compiling a program will lead to great differences in benchmarks. Compiling for AVX-512 is not enough for Zen 5, 512-bit instructions must also be selected. For the older Intel CPUs with AVX-512 the 512-bit instructions were frequently avoided, because they lowered the clock frequency. On the other hand, on Zen 4 and Zen 5 the 512-bit instructions are always better.

Is there any chance that computer scientists will analyse the software distribution situation for several language eco systems and finally find a general solution so that we can stop wasting so much time with these things?

It feels like we were driving cars since 50 years and still haven’t figured out a way to distribute gas.

Is there any research going on? The situation is totally crazy, especially for python.

I would like to see this done by top scientists. I would love to never have to spend any time again on the newest packaging tool.

What is the core of this problem and why is it not solved?
Materials used in more luxury watches tend to be more fragile than something you might use in a cheaper watch. ie a gold case is going to be more susceptible to scratches than a steel case, etc.
I used to do the same train commute weekly for some time. Yes, it's terrible.

But from what I have heard there was a direct high-speed connection until a few years ago. Allegedly this was suppressed because they could not reach an agreement with the Belgian SNCB who demanded the high-speed train did some extra stops.
If you look at https://www.watchrecon.com/ good get an idea what people spend on watches if they are into (collecting) watches
Good point. Let's go with both as both are detrimental to health and oral health.
Same, but for academic documents.

It used to be that a 'bad' document had things 'missing', which were easy to spot and rephrase / suggest improvements.

Now a 'bad' document is 50 pages of confusing waffle instead of 5, you need to get through the headache of reading all 50 to figure out what 'sentence' the person was trying to express at the place where an autogenerated section has appeared, figure out if the condensed document is something that actually had any merit to begin with, THEN identify what's missing, and then ask them to try again.

At which point you get a NEW 50-page autogenerated document and start the process again.

F this shit.
I don't think Blow or parent imply there's no need for an OS, but that the instructions the CPU executes eventually are the same no matter the OS that executed the binary.
> Apex Legends did opt-in to EACs Linux support and the effect has been that nearly every cheat for that game now targets Linux, because it is so much easier to avoid being detected on there.

Source for that?

It makes no sense.

1. Cheating in Apex has been rampant for many years, way before the game started to work on Linux.

2. I have not heard that cheating would increase lately, especially linked to Linux.

3. A lot of cheating is being done by Chinese players. It sounds incredible (I literally don't believe) that those pesky cheaters would bother and would even be able to start using Linux on their home computers and in game dungeons.
The fact that the disgusting parasitic entity that is Meta is a part of this makes me sick to my stomach. The fact that the Mozilla CTO is supportive of Meta being a part of it? Just unspeakable.
