Do they, though? If a competitor launches a feature that all your customers want and start to switch to benefit from it, what are you going to do? Show burn-down charts of your bug backlog?
OK! I only add what people are interested in, so noted with thanks - will do! :-)
That's exactly the second kind of quick note taking I was talking about.
Burning fossil fuels for energy to then unburn carbon dioxide is of course idiotic, one has to use renewable energy sources. If you could make more synthetic fuel than you put into the process, then you would have a perpetuum mobile. That is also why my comment says clean energy. But even then, read my other comments and you will see that I am extremely sceptical because of the scale of the problem.
It's crazy how so many people don't get this basic economic fact and think public welfare in EU just rains from the sky for free. No, EU welfare state is not some magical hack nobody else thought of, it's just paid from the working class' wages and then redistributed to those in need.

Without innovations and highly profitable industries generating well paying working class jobs, with what will you pay for that welfare and quality of life? Billionaires and corporations certainly aren't gonna pay for it out if their profits, so the working class has to. But if the working class has no more high paying wages anymore due to stagnating growth , then your welfare budget also goes bye-bye.

You can't just vote yourself more welfare and higher public sector salaries and pensions out of thin air without an economic growth to back that up. I mean, you technically can, but it doesn't end well as was proven every single time this was tried.

This would be an idea worth considering if you didn't pick babel which will drag a half of universe with it

Use raw esbuild or swc; or be hassle free with Vite... or something else less cursed. I am grateful for Babel, it opened up the js development to new syntax but it's a beast from the past times. (The same applies to webpack)

The problem with ultra low gate counts is always memory. No matter how simple your CPU is, you still need at least thousands of discrete components for it to do anything useful, unless you resort to something like Williams tubes or delay lines. (Torsion wire delay line is probably the most practical form of memory for a computer like this)
You do not need a 1024-bit bus to put 128GB of some DDR variant on a GPU. You could do a 512-bit bus with dual rank memory. The 3090 had a 384-bit bus with dual rank memory and going to 512-bit from that is not much of a leap.

This assumes you use 32Gbit chips, which will likely be available in the near future. Interestingly, the GDDR7 specification allows for 64Gbit chips:

> the GDDR7 standard officially adds support for 64Gbit DRAM devices, twice the 32Gbit max capacity of GDDR6/GDDR6X

Did it mention any insight on what that point is? And did it contrast against any other approach in the studies? Like look at opportunity cost of this versus other ways to deliver faster?

P.S.: And I didn't mean that those levers are always wrong, more that I've noticed this bias towards the main levers each person has at their disposal. If there's no check on that bias, you, for example, end up in a company that keeps hiring at a furious pace and keeps rewriting all their services all the time in new languages or alternate designs to no end, because everyone just uses their obvious lever as much as possible with the good intent of trying to solve all the problems in the way they can.

I'm confused by the before / after graph, this is how I'm reading the graphs:

The "before" graph shows a ~300ms wall-clock time which drops to ~150ms parallelised.

The "after" graph shows a ~27ms wall-clock time which drops to ~17ms when parallelised.

Isn't all the improvement still outside of the parallelisation then? There's an awful lot of discussion about parallelisation and the behaviour of schedulers given there wasn't any improvement of how parallelisable the end result was?
Was a pump & dump by Casey Neistat. Lacked true popularity and network effects as it turned out people don't want to share unedited, raw footage. Social media is about looking good. So Casey just used his YouTube/influencer popularity at the time to pump metrics and then managed to sell it to CNN. No idea what CNN did with the tech or people but not much later they shut it down entirely.
Intel also has lunar lake CPUs with on package RAM. They could have added more memory channels like Apple did.
It’s been a while since I read it, but I thought the “actual” rule as articulated was. “Adding people increases communication overhead. At a certain point, more people cannot increase speed but actually makes things slower”.

Hence the more pithy “Adding people to a late project will make it later”. The assumption being that you’ve already maximised the number of people that could work on the thing (trying to get it out the door on time).
> endure unstable employment conditions

It's also correspondingly easier to get another job. In Europe, making it hard to fire people means it becomes equivalently harder to get a job in the first place.
That's probably because what you are googling is a ratio of price of average house to average income... Which only means that American houses are much much bigger and thus more pricey, because Americans have many times more disposable income per family than just about any nation in the world.

But if you compare the price of the SAME sized house to the average income, the situation is opposite. U.S. is the 3rd best after Oman and Saudi Arabia. It's just that Americans are not satisfied with houses even twice the size of what people in many rich countries are happy with.

Rust structs do bind data and methods together.
Well paying job just mean that the primary distribution mechanism of wealth is through having a job, rather than only creating only jobs that are necessary. That's grossly inefficient. I rather pay people to stay at home rather than gunk up our industries with make-work, or worse actively making things worse.

Innovation is important sure, but also efficient use of resources, including cramping down on negative externalities. That increases welfare and quality of life, ideally with no need to spend an extra dollar.
any recommendations for themes in astro? i want following landing page+blog+docs with toc and related content.
> Do $@ and $< look arcane at first glance? Yes. Is what they do simple, though?

And yet, I still don't actually know what `$@` and `$<` actually mean outside of your example. I only can assume that somehow that substitutes in `foo.o` and `foo.c` because you literally put the non-magic versions right below it (and above it a few paragraphs above as well), but I'm honestly not even positive that I'd run `make foo.o` rather than `make foo` with your example, and I feel fairly confident in guessing that this would _not_ compile into a binary called `fooexec` like the target you defined above. I don't have an idea whatsoever what I'd need to put in the target to be able to substitute in something like that because the fact that the first `%` somehow becomes `$@` and the second becomes `$<` doesn't follow any obvious pattern I can use to figure out what the third symbol would be, or even if there is one.

The problem is that "simple" is not the same as "intuitive" or "discoverable". Yes, I could probably put in the effort to go and find out these things, but why would you expect someone to be motivated to do that by someone telling you that it's "trivial" and it "pains" them as they explain things in a way that doesn't actually clarify things in a way that helps me? If you actually want to try to make a strong case that this is something worth learning for people, repeatedly referring to it in ways like "very simple" and "so trivial" and "immediately obvious" is counterproductive.

As an aside, I think it's also a bit of leap to assume that they're "rebuilding everything all the time". It looks to me like the build.py script is only needed a single time to bootstrap from the original compiler to this one, and rebuilding every single C file in the new compiler rather than using the artifacts built with the original one is kind of the whole point. After that's done once, I don't see why the new compiler couldn't be used via the Makefile. If you're complaining about Python build scripts in general rather than this specific one, I don't know why you assume they can't be written to check the timestamps on the files to see if a rebuild is necessary before doing so. That's exactly what `make` does, and hey, it's a very simple concept!

The PiKVM V4 Mini is $274.95 when in stock (currently not in stock at US retailers), versus the $69 that JetKVM wants for the kick starter version. They also claim that the latency will be dramatically lower, which could be a big deal to some users.

Personally, I really like the form factor of the BlkKVM PCIe device (which isn't really a PCIe device, disappointingly, but does fit internally in a PC).

Assuming that they (JetKVM) carry through with the open source promise, it wouldn't be bad to see competing projects, and maybe they can also benefit each other.

Also, considering that PiKVM doesn't forsee supporting Pi5 or CM5 devices, it would be cool to see devices that help expand the SoC ecosystem that can be used for such devices.
> I'm perfectly serious, it's literally the foundational text on the subject and we still have that text for good reason.

So we know what mistakes of the past to avoid?

Before taking Aristotle seriously, remember that Aristotle believed that women have fewer teeth than men and that objects fall toward the ground at a constant speed. He's certainly worth understanding due to his influence on western civilization, but that doesn't mean you should believe anything he says. His ideas predate a lot of our modern understanding of logic and therefore don't follow it. If you're interested in history, have at it, but if you're trying to figure out what to believe today, Aristotle can safely be ignored.

The fact that modern philosophy teaches Aristotle (and many other philosophers whose ideas are obviously wrong and outdated) as if we should believe what they believe, is why I generally am comfortable dismissing most academia around philosophy as worthless. There's plenty of valuable philosophy out there, but the people with good philosophical ideas are generally practicing experts in other fields. Darwin, MLK, or Mr. Rogers are better philosophers than any of the philosophers typically presented as such. Philosophers present as philosophers because they can't or won't deal with the limitations of coming up with useful ideas that stand up to scrutiny.

The bit that you quoted basically takes a long time to say, "People use rhetoric intuitively but you can study, learn, and practice rhetoric to get better at it." At least that's not obviously false, but it's not particularly insightful, and it's certainly not a reason we should value rhetoric. Most people at some point in their lives pick their nose, some better than others, and it's certainly a skill that can be developed, but that's certainly not a defense of nose picking.
If English language courses were anything like programming courses, the final project would be something like this:

Write a five-paragraph short story, in pluperfect tense, except the fourth paragraph which should be in the historical present. The story should involve a subject, a direct object, and an indirect object, each addressed with the correct case. All conjugations of the verb 'to be' should be used at least once.

There's so much emphasis on using every feature of a given programming language that there isn't room to teach students how to do anything useful, especially in languages that have features that are purely academic and almost never found in common usage.

Relying on passive ventilation that wasn't designed as such is also not a good way to achieve removal of these nasties. You can see that if you open a window when you have high CO2 - it doesn't drop at any speed.
> How do I reconcile this?

I'm curious why you care that some people have more money than you do? If you want mo' moolah:

1. upgrade your job skills

2. minimize spending (like get a roommate, eschew restaurant food, buy a used car)

3. invest the money you save

If you really want to make big money:

1. start your own business
One thing this article doesn't touch on is the soaring government debt, which is now really quite big: 120%, and IIRC if you add municipal debt, it's more like 140%. That is high. It also seems like much of the recent growth has been fueled by this debt.

It's unclear how this is going to unwind. America can afford, apparently, to run their deficit hot, but not forever and without limit. So at some point they have to start cutting expenditure and paying that debt off. What happens then? Or will they somehow default on it? Or, will they manage to deflate it via growth. But it is a bit of a sword of Damocles hanging over the economy, like ZIRP over VC successes of the 2010s.

The crazy thing is just how much the debt increases in living memory. Under Clinton, it was as low as 60%, which is considered a really low level.

I don't really get the point driving attempts to disable IPv4 entirely. Companies like Github and Steam are too shit to add a few AAAA records, so you need to layer hacks upon hacks to make things work.

At that point, just use dual stack, even if it's just CG-NAT. Yeah, it's pretty shit and you get CAPTCHAs out the ass whenever you hit an IPv4 website but at least shit hardware like the Switch will just work. Same with the IoT garbage that couldn't be bothered to spend the quarter of a cent on a megabyte of extra flash so they removed IPv6 supporter.

Let the shit hardware and software suffer from having to deal with NAT and save yourself the trouble. Network administrators around the world decided that they didn't like IPv6, don't bother to learn anything new, and pretend there is no IPv6, so take the easy way and placate them with the shitty NAT over NAT they'd much rather prefer.

I must admit I'm disappointed about the Deck, but I can't be too surprised given that the entire Valve server stack seems to be IPv4 only.
That's some idealistic stuff that's not gonna happen. The real world doesn't work like that.

I see many comments about “PostgreSQL compatibility” not being actual compatibility… maybe the PostgreSQL people should compile a list of requirements for a database to call itself “PostgreSQL-compatible”?

It feels like the compatibility claim is a bit abused (not only in this case) mostly because there’s no clear and strict reference (maybe with mandatory and optional requirements) for what “compatible” means
I was surprised to learn from the submitted article that Discord and Reddit also don't support v6, because those two ought to have a large mobile phone userbase, and mobile networks are the biggest cases of publicly routable v6 addresses and CGNAT for v4.

6 months if it's something serious like a cardiologist.
If you're on private health insurance, alright, only 3 months.

I don't know if this is specific to Germany, or similar in all of Europe.

Well. I can’t even get a ipv6 tunnel to work on my USG3 so I have little interest in disabling v4.

I don't think anyone is seriously claiming that there is no innovation whatsoever in the EU. Falling behind the US doesn't mean there is absolutely nothing.
