And in doing so, ensure that the network is too boring for anyone to use, except for the local flower shop posting its ads.

If anyone other than John Carmack would say "I'll burn a bunch of money to rebuild some demos from 10 years ago"... well, let's just say this thread would look very different.

> Everybody dismissing him might be right. Those keeping score know that Carmack's batting average isn't one thousand. But those people also know Carmack has the resources to work on pretty much whatever he wants to work on. To

Well, I think people like you are strange: how weird would it be to go through life assuming that everyone thinks the same way as you! How is working at McD's more "diverse" than playing soccer, or even tinkering with a compu

Those other things you mention are also "tracks". Getting a shitty fast food job is done not due to any kind of aspiration but simply because it's the default thing to do. Imagine not being able to get a shitty fast food job

And this is different from the argument that's being pooh-poed and downvoted how? You are effectively saying "Carmack is smart and is working on cool stuff that'll most likely be useless" in different words.

Many of these articles are being written, probably because there's a paying customer. The late Soviet Union had an army of publicists whose job was to dismiss real and growing concerns with "but we just had a record crop and milk

Compared to driving in the developing world though, SF traffic is very structured and very tame. My favorite data point here is Cairo: the sound of traffic there is horns blaring and metal-on-metal. Driving in Cario is a contact sport. An

It really is not. To see why not, imagine how you'd feel if you had a coworker who would come to work drunk (if they came at all). They would still be paid the same as you. Your only recourse would be to talk to this person as a &qu

That taken to an extreme, this idea is the same as "from everyone according to their ability, to everyone according to their needs". Which sounds great, until you realize that this incentivizes needs and disincentivizes abilities

So unemployment insurance should cost more if you earn more. What about health insurance? Car insurance? Starbucks latte? All goods and services? Would it not be just and fair if all prices were relative to income rather than absolute?

Reserve vs resize, yes. Reserve will not initialize, but then you have to keep track of the real vector size on the side, inevitably leading to bugs. Alternatively, something like this https://stackoverflow.com/questions&#x

You are very very unlikely to trigger Linux overcommit behavior by not initializing a member variable. It's even more unlikely for this to be a good thing. In effect, you are assuming that your uninitialized and initialized variables

Well, no. In a low density US city a bus route goes into all the places where nobody is waiting in the name of increasing coverage. Adding more routes is impossible due to lack of funding. This makes it take 2-3 times as long as a car to

For the HN crowd it's coming up with the umpteenth JavaScript framework, I think.

What is the idea of the article? It's all over the place. Zuck is bad, Trump is bad, a degree in basket weaving can be obtained by a chatbot, it's who you know, the Fed held rates, Uber drivers are somehow related to friction, w

They are not really the same. First, NVMe is a protocol to access block storage. It can be used to access any kind of block device, Optane, SSD, NVDIMM, virtual storage on EC2, etc. So it's true that the protocol is the same (well, n

One could see the death of Optane coming from a mile away. It was only kept afloat by Intel, and its main issue that is was really cool tech, but it was a solution looking for a problem. You need scratch space that's resilient to a pow

Yes, but you can have GSO and GRO in combination with userspace protocol processing.

Why would it be any less efficient than processing the packets in the kernel? There's a way to map the hardware queues into userspace (the article talks about the system being DPDK-like). At that point why does it matter that the pol

I think you have a strange definition of "laughingstock". Germany went from an economic powerhouse of Europe to factory shutdowns and a bunch of bumbling sniveling elites who are afraid of the people they are leading and want to

Now imagine being a judge, and you are supposed to allow a US citizen child to be taken to a country that is hostile to the US. In the current media climate. And this is exactly the problem with these knee-jerk emotional reactions: reality

That is exactly what I said. The whole point is to have a test that is correlated with IQ, and does not look like an IQ test in a legal way.

I guess there are military aptitude tests. And I am curious about which big companies administer an undisguised IQ test to applicants. It appears that an IQ test can be administered if it can be argued that a certain score is required to d

How to lie with statistics, exhibit A. In the locales where one has a decent chance of earning more than $100,000 (like the Bay Area) that income is significantly below poverty level, even as a household of one. That is definitely not &quo

It's curious how many athletic people fit this stereotype: they can't fathom that someone might not be like them. For a great many of us climbing is utterly terrifying. Yeah, tried it. Yeah, aware that the belay rope is there.

And that reason was legal precedent: it's illegal to administer an IQ test as a condition of employment. So they administer a disguised IQ test in the form of Leetcode questions instead.
