Not to diminish your friend, but that house was almost certainly inspected by an engineer before anyone slept in it at all. It takes a village.

"Architect" seems a bit strong but the article on him says he contributed to famine in the USSR and China. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Trofim_Lysenko#Consequences_of...

There's no evidence the disk crashed in this case.

Your idea about paying a yearly subscription vs having advertising presents a false dichotomy. Since the internet is a public good, search functionality could be reasonably delivered for cents on the dollar by a public utility.

Not everyone can leave their job at the drop of a hat, even with a big severance package. You don't know their motivations or plans.

According to the SAR people I follow on twitter, What3Words is worse in every way than simple Lat/Long.

My prediction: there will never be a bottom for facebook.

Ell Oh Ell. LSD is a Schedule I controlled substance. That means you can go to jail for a long time just for having some. Boards can't afford to have CEOs that might go to jail.

If you view it as an improvement to your home, which increases your home's value, then it can make more financial sense than if you only look at the pure electricity savings.

They are just respecting older, more venerable tools, like find.

I'd say it was unnecessarily dismissive.

The headline could use some "in mice" in it.

I saw this soon after they tweeted it. I personally found it to be utterly pathetic, even before Klippenstein exposed it as a lie later that day. Extremely condescending, but also tone deaf and ignorant. A lesson on what not to do in public relations.

I don't think that's true either. You can get 8-core desktop Ryzen parts that have a TDP of 65 watts. I have a passively cooled 8-core Ryzen system that uses a 240 watt power supply.

Also: by the time you've wired up 8 raspis you end up using quite a bit of power just to connect them all together with a switch.

Raspberry Pi 4s need a maximum of 15 watts each. So 120 watts just for the computers. Even if you discount the power consumption of the switch, my 240 watt Ryzen computer is still going to beat that joule-for-joule.

Edit: one more thing, that 240 watt system also powers a 75 watt GPU, so it's definitely more wattage than really required for the CPU alone.

I've read through some of the comments here, and more of you need to quit your jobs.

The 1070 had GDDR5 RAM and the 3070 has GDDR6X RAM. Instead of greater capacity, we get greater bandwidth.

This is an awesome comment, thank you! I had long wondered myself why GPU power delivery was so complicated.

The conclusion seems based on the relative execution times for the two benchmarks. Since the benchmarks are measured in the same way, their error bars should be basically the same as well. This analysis is not an analysis of the absolute execution time of these algorithms, but the difference between them.

I don't think the conclusion is hasty. Lemire is saying: "look, if the M1 full multiplication was slow, we'd expect wyrng to be worse than splitmix, but it isn't".

This self-indulgent rhetoric is so tiresome, and its aims are so blatantly transparent.

With MADV_FREE behaviour, RSS isn't even a useful measurement.

Nobody seems to have posted Stuart Halloway's Narcissistic Design yet, so I'll just leave this here.

Has some great insights and quips. "Nothing says 'screw you' like a DSL"

HN feels more like a single subreddit than reddit as a whole. There is far greater cultural diversity on reddit.

Thanks for the great blog post, and congrats on finding that long dormant bug!

Very cool, although I prefer semantic navigation. In vim-go:

  :GoDef

Takes me to the place that the declaration or symbol exists at.

Then when I need to go back, I just

  :bp

If I want to see the docs, I just:

  :GoDoc

Take that, 2021!

The USA should change its laws so that fraudulent news outlets can be sued into oblivion. Then they won't need censoring.

Great summary of the article right here.

Rob Pike already made an easier way to do this, using go generate, in 2014. https://blog.golang.org/generate

> I think that retribution, which is of course the principal component of justice

That ain't necessarily so, and not every penal system has that philosophy. If prisons turn out people who are unemployable, they will simply keep doing whatever they can do to make a living. If lawful society doesn't take them, someone else will. Justice has to work at the societal level.

People aren't just going to write things they don't have an interest in.
