And that man...was Albert Einstein.

Might be the oldest "everyone clapped" story I've read

I'm sorry but it's not on MIT, GNU, or BSD so I would go so far as to say the title is clickbait...like can I take this code and try and get it to work on my x86 machine and then commit my changes under bsd? Probably not

Can someone point me to a repo to look at it? I can't find a link and it doesn't show up on Google.

Would love to hear the comparison between snowpack and this.

Perhaps it should be called the alchemist network since it proposes to turn lead to gold.

I think speculation... Is just not in the cards for most use cases.

Yes you can isolate cores and you can encrypt the data and use enclaves and all that with much effort and complexity and overhead might eventually fix the 90th percentile but in the end the core issue is simply the nature of speculation as a strategy to improve cpu performance.

Typical desktop Linux is compiled with gcc and even if rust features in gcc lag behind rustc this is still a great step in the direction of one of the larger goals many of us want from rust which is to replace C as a memory safe systems language for OS kernel and embedded projects.

A big part of getting a sane environment to build rust Linux modules is having it easily integrate with the gcc toolchain.

There seems to be some contention around if this is a good idea for rust as a language itself and my counter to that would be that there are billions of people on the planet and the work integrating rust into gcc doesn't detract in any way I can see from the continued development of rust as a language, it just helps to make it more viable for many use cases and therefore increase it's footprint and overall support.

I think it should be healthy to be allowed to simply do your job if you are an engineer. If you are a good one you'll know when you need help and when you need to grind.

Instead you are constantly in a state of being micro managed by people who think that if they have lots of meetings and gather lots of metrics that will increase productivity but it's a silly idea when you think about it

The only thing that gets work done is well...doing work and any amount of time you take away from that isn't productive 9/10 times.

Ah apple, often times thought incorrectly to be less evil than Microsoft or Google but has, in time been just as shameless as either in their own "apple-y" way

I like big chunky but rounded fonts so Hack has served me well now for the better part of a decade.

If all progress reports were as technical and interesting as dolphins I would just be reading them all week.

Always fun to see what they have been working on and it's a bit inspirational to see such dedication long after the emulator had accomplished near total coverage at native framerates and has at this point implemented even it's userbases stretch goals. Now it's just building out features to understand and help teach us mere mortals, and I'm thankful for each lesson my lizard brain holds onto.

I would consider this appropriate if one of the largest offenders of scrapping weren't the one pretending to be the offended.

I bet you that you won't. Hope I'm wrong. They just split their stock and it's continuing to tank. Had a friend get his interview canceled today because they removed the position, said it was for financial reasons.

They have also laid off a bunch of their employees today...

I have never understood unity.

For all it's faults and annoyances I have never once considered gnome, kde, or even cinnamon inferior to unity.

People talk about it's consistancy in the comment section but as someone who has had to use different DE varients over the years, any features unity had a claim to fame for were implemented and then superseded by gnome a long time ago.

It's interesting to me how people think that just because it's apple it's not still skimming your data.

Saying something is "privacy first" is cheap and easy. Proving it is another and we have enough evidence to support that they are not perfect on this front.

For my money, I'll just buy a porch thermometer and look at clouds...

Only a supervisor thinks you make a train faster by putting in progressively more train stops.

I find it interesting that across a decade and countless frameworks from jQuery, meteor, angular, and now react the core problem is still and somehow progressively worse than ever...state.

I find it strange this is still such a hard problem to solve in an environment with a slew of options for key value global, local, and remote storage

An open source RSS reader could easily be someone's weekend project...

Have we really fallen this low? How are there so many people in this comment section defending feedly while berating the author for what I would consider a level headed and fair assessment of the state of it.

As someone hunting constantly for a reader as simple as Google reader and feedly use to be it all makes perfect sense and is equally frustrating to me.

It's an RSS reader that no longer accepts many RSS feeds, that is a more than valid criticism and we should be allowed to be picky about that without being berated by our fellow HN readers.

Food and your personal desire to cook and eat it is so so subjective that the idea that anyone can try and say you are doing something wrong that you have done before and enjoy...well it's silly.

The entire industry around cooking and especially the glorification of shows like hells kitchen is to the detriment of food everywhere. You might as well try to critique how someone hugs their wife.

My hope is that these improvements push nvme and similar technologies to a state where they could theoretically replace ram. Pipe dream I know but the idea of something breaking the von neumann machine paradigm even a bit is exciting.

"Confession time. I have never read Lord of the Rings" - the guy who wrote an entire article about how much he doesn't like it.

The thing I hate the most is that 80% of the time you will be kicked out of the interview process before you even talk to the person you will be working with.

Your GitHub doesn't matter Your resume to a degree doesn't matter If you can answer the questions and solve the problems that matters

...but what matters most is if you have a good attitude and can do the job you are being hired for and it's pretty rare someone hires you based on gasp the job they expect you to do.

Show me someone who can write merge sort from scratch and I'll show you an unemployed programmer.

The point was that the GitHub should not be used which he said up front -_-

It's so sad to see hyperbolic articles like this saturate HN.

DevOps was a stepping stone and it had many lessons to teach us just like the traditional IT before it and just like the roles that will come after it.

It was a success some places and a failure others but in general it has been an improvement over most companies processes and to say otherwise is just being salty about how it worked for you at your particular job.

With all due respect, that is total bullshit.

I think the fact this article exists proves otherwise

People always say "just use alfred" but I mostly use Mac as an excuse to get a Unix terminal at work and don't really use or need a large addon like Alfred even though I can see how one might.

For me all I need is the clipboard functionality and as a clipboard manager maccy is the best. Highly advise people to install it and if they like it buy the app store version to help it's development.

Safari really is the new IE

The NYTimes has a bad habit of hyperbole like this but in a world where 200 proof alcohol exists and prescription fentanyl is easily accessible it feels pretty well...boomer for lack of a better phrase.

Weed isn't an issue and it never has been.
