>I wouldn't deify "real" engineering like that. It's different, and more regulated, but it isn't all harder and fancier than all programming.

Of course not! Software engineering is waaaay harder than rocket engineering. That's why there's so many rocket engineering bootcamps all over the place. Just grab some book or join a bootcamp and you can build rockets that fly into space in less than 6 months!!

That's what I did, I was a major in poetry and I worked in HR. Then I joined a online bootcamp for rocket engineering and became a rocket engineer for spaceX in less than a year! I got super bored with it and I wanted to try software. When I did the switch to software engineering I couldn't find a single bootcamp in the country. You have to get a PHD in software architecture in order to do this stuff. Super hard! I'm now an expert at drawing lines and circles!
No, that's just the slippery slope argument.

My question for you is: why don't you vote in your interests? Instead, you're voting in Bezos's interests. You are not Jeff Bezos. You will never be Jeff Bezos. You will never benefit for the policies you seem to be defending.

But no, it's "if Bezos has to pay 10% taxes, they migh tcome next for my $120,000".

It's wild to me that the slippery slope argument manages to somehow trump arguments of both self-interest and morality.
The sad truth is that if you go to App Store > Your Accoun and refresh you will see that only handful of application are less than 100MB. In my case most apps are 300MB and we are talking only about update. I compared with Android and over there all apps are much less heavy. I noticed old Objective-C app used to much more slim and all Swift even after having ABI are big and fat.

It's partially because of developer laziness and partially because Apple tools sux - there is no tree shaking or dead code removal from compiled cocoapods or swift packages. Apple probably don't care and more than happy to sell you the next shiny device with more storage or subscription to iCloud.
And the opposite has been the excuse of every abusive government in history.
If you've never used the HTTP server, you're doing yourself a disservice.

It creates a locally hosted web page that you can use to share with everyone on the network a fast file search client.

Highly recommended! Throw in an nginx reverse proxy for https support and you are off to the races.
This is not an accurate assessment, I'm afraid.

The comparison we discussed was for unrepresentative code that used none of the features that make .NET fast (generics, SIMD, expected forms of inheritance and abstraction and devirtualization they enable, CoreLib APIs). The closest case in there was JSON serialization which CoreCLR was 385% faster at. It is unfortunate that you feel a need to say this, knowing that it doesn't even show a tip of the iceberg.

Please do not mislead casual readers here with such comments.

They will have a bad time running basic programs - the original Mono is outdated and cannot execute assemblies that target non-legacy versions, and the Mono that lives in dotnet/runtime (which you have to go out of your way to use on CoreCLR platforms) tends to have all kinds of regressions on user-provided code that is not as robust on runtime checks to ensure that Mono does not accidentally go onto the path that that it has especially bad regression on. Even CoreLib code nowadays uses more and more struct generics assuming monomorhpization which performs poorly on Mono. There is very little work done to improve performance on Mono with effort invested mostly in WASM area and to ensure it does not regress further. Major platforms like Android and iOS are in the slow but steady progress to migrate to CoreCLR/NativeAOT (there are other reasons not in the least much smaller binary size). And for WASM there is NativeAOT-LLVM experiment that is likely to make Mono obsolete for that target too.

The workloads that matter and are representative are the ones produced by C#, F# and VB.NET compilers as well as projects that care about exercising the standard library and/or produce recommended CIL forms (like https://github.com/FractalFir/rustc_codegen_clr).
Why is that your point of contention? If the goal is to have Boeing provide engineering capacity without all the cost cutting drama, all I'm suggesting is a change of governance.
Commonwealth robotics studio doesn't seem to be suitable for designing typical FRC robots. It looks like it's meant to design and simulate robots that mostly consist of servo-driven legs around a central body.

The only open-source CAD option I've seen that might be suitable for doing this kind of design work is FreeCAD, or its Ondsel fork. There are not many people available to FRC teams to teach them how to use these programs, and there's a high risk of them running into serious bugs or limitations.

Most FRC teams use professional CAD packages (like Autodesk Inventor and Dassault SolidWorks). These packages are offered to teams for free. Many teams have mentors with professional experience using one of these programs. OnShape has taken over in the last couple of years as the most popular, because it is easier to license, doesn't require installation permissions, works on any device with a web browser, has an easy to understand and administer way for multiple people to collaborate on a model, and has a critical mass of community scripts, part collections, and tutorials.
Oh don’t get me wrong - I wasn’t criticising your write up. It was concise and still relevant.

It’s just funny for newcomers to peel back the onion more. Writing a source generator? Target .NET standard 2.0 (not even 2.1) for a whole host of reasons.
I did this for covid. The second my vaccine kicked in I dropped all precautions and started staying indoors with as many people as possible for as long as possible, basically trying to never go a day without a small exposure. I’ve tested for infection a number of times and a university study tested my antibodies periodically for a year and I’ve never had a detectable case. Continuous exposure to small amounts of the virus seems to have kept me more free from infection than those that took significant precautions. I’m not just reckless, I used to have severe OCD, so living carefully with lots of precautions is actually more dangerous for me than the virus.
Definitely!! My intent was not to claim founder-dadhood is harder than any other specific version but just to lay out the specifics/particulars of what to expect if you are a founder-cum-dad. Probably one of these should exist for every possible permutation!
Wow one chip taking up a whole wafer. I bet their yields are low, though I assume they're not using the bleeding edge process but a slightly older one that's totally worked out.

Still the price of one of these would be nuts if they'd sell them. Upwards of 1 million?

I see your point. But it actually concerns me more if the Dorico discount is contingent on explicitly preventing re-installs of the app. It's one thing to be merely negligent in providing a way for users to continue using the product but it's another to purposely revoke access as part of a deal that the user didn't agree to. That actually borders on shady to me even if you could spin it as a user benefit.
The negligence is pretty gross and pretty provable.

For example, the IT security administrator simply did not install the anti virus because a professor did not want it. The claim was that this wouldn’t be a problem since the Georgia tech network had security. This is a problem for 2 reasons. 1, the Georgia Tech network did not have the claimed security. 2. The laptops were allowed to and were taken and used off the network.

Note that even the Georgia Tech response is not disputing the security facts. It’s simply stating that there wasn’t anything confidential about this because the government published the research. Which of course has no bearing on whether or not they lived up to their contractual security and confidentiality requirements.
Obviously they haven't been moving as fast as SpaceX, but they've delivered New Shepherd and the BE-4 engine, which has flown on the Vulcan and is supposed to fly on New Glenn. The BE-4 is comparable to the Raptor.
> article authors are surprised the unsafe keyword is not required

The often surprising part of raw pointers to system programmers newly dabbling in Rust is that every operation on them is safe, except for deref. You can freely take addresses and do pointer arithmetic on them without having to deal with unsafe, and only have to tell the compiler that you know what you are doing when you either load or store something through them.
What's your point? Don't take the puppy if you don't want it.. not everyone has a use for this software either.
Many cloudy environments end up economizing on IP addresses. That means that there will be loads of neighbours, not all of them will be your mates. Once you have found a way in via another method, you now have this weapon to deploy. STARTTLS is massively used to secure internal comms as a (cough) "best practice". The article notes email related protocols but AD via LDAP is often accessed via port 389 with STARTTLS.

You may not be familiar with Hanno - he's been around for a while and knows what he is on about.

I'm not sure which real world you inhabit. This is quite horrendous.

(I'm not sure why "implicit" is used instead of "explicit" for full on TLS over STARTTLS. I suspect English as a foreign language).
I put the land I buy into a trust that removes my ability to profit from it. The trust cannot take actions that would cause them to profit from selling the land.

Any equity the trust holds is from me or others putting in funds that are held solely for the purposes of providing housing for the community at cost.

My personal mortgage I do pay for, and I will be ceding whatever land I hold to that trust upon my death so that it can provide housing in perpetuity.

The only reason the land is not currently in the trust's hands is because I need the ability to move freely. I could arrange to sell the house to the trust, and lease it from the trust, but because there's a bank involved with my mortgage that gets more complex.

I assure you, I am not profiting from housing.
I've often wondered if IQ is in protected state in the field of psychology.

What I mean: Psychology cannot afford for IQ to be disproven or invalidated. Doing so would completely undermine a significant portion of field. It would be like if evolution was disproven in biology -- absolutely gutting. (Just an analogy, don't kill me).

I see this when people bring up Lewis Terman's studies on giftedness or Richard Feynman's IQ score of ~124 -- especially the latter.

People come rushing out of the woodworks with statements like, "Well, Feynman was probably goofing off," "Feynman's result cannot be accurate -- he was a Putnam Award winner in high school," "Test were different back then," etc..

Sure, all of those could be right, but we only can operate off of what we know. The actual cold truth? We will never know.

However, like a knife through the heart, people refuse to even accept Feynman's score as a possibility. Feynman was an exceptional person. Exceptional people are outliers -- perhaps in more than one way.

Personally, I think it crushes people's souls to know that a famous theoretical physicist scored lower on an IQ score than expected, but still accomplished more in life than they did.

That is why I personally believe life is the one true IQ test. You get one shot. One's true intelligence is what you do with it. But hey, maybe my IQ is too low?

The north-south cultural group is correct, but I'd disagree with some of the specifics you mentioned.

The cultural division between BC and the 'west' (AB, SK, MB) is pretty strong.

Southern Ontario is a lot closer to upstate ny / the midwest than NYC, I'd say.

The Maritimes is much more like New England than the rust belt. Newfoundland isn't even part of the Maritime provinces - it's part of the Atlantic provinces.
I understand this distinction. I understand why some users are upset. However, I am getting dogmatic blowback in this thread by some people who admitted never purchasing Finale, and are not interested in discussing the pros and cons of any tradeoffs or alternatives, and don’t even want to consider the possibility that this isn’t fun for MakeMusic either.

It sucks if people expected authorization would continue to work forever. How many people would actually use that if it existed, and what is a reasonable user base threshold below which they can turn it off? It doesn’t matter what I think, but I don’t think leaving the auth servers on is going to benefit more than a very tiny handful of people at most, and thus probably isn’t worth the effort. And again, it’s entirely possible this is all coming at Steinberg’s request and was deemed an acceptable tradeoff by MakeMusic, assuming that it would benefit more people than it would harm. The discount vs activation tradeoff very well might benefit more people than it harms.

Personally, having run a software business, and having known others who’ve run software businesses, I see failed businesses, failed products, and company acquisitions all under the same umbrella of causing real problems against the expectations of buyers. All of those situations cause changes to the EULA, and people don’t like change, especially when they’ve paid money for constancy, I can completely and totally understand that. I was just trying to calm the pitchforking down a little… and not doing that great of a job, obviously.

If MakeMusic is offering the Dorico discount in return for no competition via turning off the auth servers, in a way that’s almost like Steinberg acquiring Finale but killing it. Maybe that could have happened, and maybe this way was cheaper and less legal paperwork for both parties, I dunno. Nobody else here does either.
The whole Covid thing gave a lot of people an excuse to have control over others. Turned a lot of people into power tripping sanctimonious busy bodies.

Scare the shit of people, convince them that “The Science” is on their side and the others are all your enemy and boom… there you go.

It was a huge eye opener for me. I’ll never again trust the government nor will I ever fully trust “the science”. And how many people bought into the narrative and how aggressive they got scared the shit out of me. All it would have taken is some “expert” to give permission to physically hurt “anti-maskers” or anybody who didn’t go along with the narrative and things would have gotten much, much much worse. Hell many so-called progressive areas even set up numbers you could call to dime out your neighbors and family for violating all the nonsense the government enacted.

It really opened my eyes to how things like the holocaust happened. How you can convince ordinary people to commit some very horrible things. There are several people I know for a fact would have happily tossed me and my family into the gas chamber over Covid. And that isn’t even hyperbole at all. Given the chance they absolutely would have done so… some are even close family.

…suffice to say my stance on gun ownership has changed considerably since 2020.

Wait, why would showering in a lightning storm not be safe? Do you expect the lightning to discharge in the pipes of your house? How?

Or is it that your children would be scared if the power goes out when they're showering? That I understand.

You're talking about those guys who write code for the inside of my car or the person who wrote the software for my smart tooth brush?

These guys aren't called software engineers. Like I said above, we refer to these people as "coders". "Software engineering" is mainly about making a website like petsmart.com or facebook.com.
> On the other hand, on Leonardo, the average latency increases by up to 2x when the GPUs are in different groups rather than under the same switch.

I'm in the process of deploying a Dell 128 GPU/NIC cluster with AMD MI300x and we're going entirely into a single Dell Z9864F @ 400G. This is a brand new product and we are one of the first to receive it. Looking forward to doing some benchmarking to see how everything performs.

Just to add, FreeCAD still doesn't ship with a way to do constrained assemblies of parts. You can arrange multiple parts together without any constraints on them, but if you want them constrained together then you have to pick an external workbench (there are 3 choices!) and install it separately.

https://wiki.freecad.org/Assembly

SolveSpace has the capability built-in, but its constraint and geometry solvers are not robust enough for designing full FRC robots. It either gets very slow, or start saying that constraints are unsolvable (even though they are), or starts generating geometry with extra or missing faces.

I don't know what your motivation is to give Mono a bad reputation. I assume you're paid by Microsoft or one of its affiliates, are you?
Hire patsies. Motivate them by telling them they’re entrepreneurs. Every time somebody notices, act really shocked and offended, smack your patsy around (just the one they know about), coddle the customer (just the one who noticed). Bribe politicians to look the other way.

I think the right word in my case would be 'cursed'. There is mystery and magic behind the scenes but it's not positive.

Everything positive in my world is stuff that I can see, explain and influence to some extent. Everything bad is the stuff I can't fully understand; the things that I have little visibility and no control over; yet those exert a very strong force over my reality.

Things like government, monetary policy, globalization, the media, cultural changes. I don't have much visibility or control over those but they all have a huge negative impact on my world.

Everything bad that happened so me, I cannot trace back to a specific thing I did. I consistently sacrificed the present for the future, optimized for career, yet the invisible hand keeps making things worse somehow.

I can't help but wonder what happened to the people who always lived for the present. If my future is looking so bleak, what about most people who didn't sacrifice anything for the future? Victims of the opioid crisis? Or maybe everything has been flipped on its head? Maybe the future belongs to those who YOLO everything?
So they started this whole trend just to line their own pockets, it would seem.

> the fact that it's related to bombs, which has nothing to do with Greenpeace.

>> Greenpeace got its start protesting nuclear weapons testing back in 1971.

https://www.greenpeace.org/usa/fighting-climate-chaos/issues...

> "Greenpeace" is short for "environmental groups at large". To me this means that civil society in general came out against nuclear power,

I think you took the meaning different than intended. I'm more saying that someone might substitute "Sierra Nevada Club" with "Green Peace". This includes when people blame.

As to the claim that there was dirty money involved, well I find that when I post sources my comments get less engagement. But here's an example (there's others that are easily searchable. Including governments because yes, weapons and energy production are related. Due to enrichment. They don't need to be, but it is an avenue to justify enrichment even if the quantities are dramatically different).

https://science.time.com/2012/02/02/exclusive-how-the-sierra...

> But every time there is a discussion of nuclear power on HN there is a top comment blaming the current lack of it on Greenpeace. It's lazy and intellectually bankrupt.

I'm pro nuclear, have a physics degree, and have worked on nuclear tech; I agree with you. But I also think the same is true for the other side (I'll note that I frequently correct many pro nuclear comments. But I'm just tied today and trying to stay off HN more. If you search my history breeder reactors are a common topic).

Truth here is that these conversations are excellently complicated. Climate change is one of the, if not THE, most complicated challenges humans have ever faced. All the sub topics have a lot of nuance and complexity to them as well as a lot of misinformation. Even with strong domain backgrounds these are hard topics! (And I doubt many HN users have strong backgrounds in atomics, PV, battery production, energy transmission, various physical engineerings, and so on, let alone all at once) But I do believe a lot of people care and a lot of people are on the same side (fixing the planet and moving away from fossil fuels). And I think it'd be better if we saw that common ground and would argue as if we're on the same team instead of not. So let's bring what pieces we have to the table. Because when we argue like we aren't on the same team, oil is the winner. But I think we can all agree that be it renewable or nuclear (or honestly some combination that is best suited for a given situation and location) are leagues better than fossil fuels and gas. It's also important to recognize that neither camp offers a full solution to the problem. Luckily their solutions aren't complete overlaps. So please do still advocate your position, but we need to also recognize a common enemy who wants to split us apart. Let's save most of the arguing until they're dead. Clearly fighting each other hasn't worked.
