Isn’t that this one that temporarily died due to Texas legal stuff until 1 month ago when Amtrak helped save it? Yeah I hope it succeeds but there’s a lot of influential Texans who want it to fail or kill it.…
“The regulations exclude revenue from audiobooks, podcasts, video game services, and user-generated content. The exclusion of revenue from user-generated content is a win for Google's YouTube.” Yeah it also makes sure…
I think this guy is like Shadow in this video: https://youtu.be/n__GJuqLb00?si=4kqBifugIQGSdp2q
Hmm at Berkeley 10-14 years ago during undergrad we used MIPS in both our computer architecture class and compilers class and I wouldn’t call it obscure. Uncommon yes but not obscure. It had a RISC (Reduced Instruction…
If it makes you feel better I saw this and I don’t know what a “front page on Hacker News” is because all HackerNews articles I see are from Facebook or Twitter (before I left Twitter) I don’t actually visit Hacker News…
I wish this was updated for 2024 His RISC being “No” most would agree is somewhat incorrect though it seemed correct back in 2015. But it kinda goes to show how these yes/maybe/no things can evolve unexpectedly over…
Meh I don’t judge others but I personally don’t want an arranged marriage I feel like in most cases it’s always focused around the man and not the woman so the woman ends up with a suboptimal match which I think is…
Yeah I agree with you. But scheme especially when you have code like this: (letrec ((even? (lambda (n) (if (zero? n) #t (odd? (- n 1))))) (odd? (lambda (n) (if (zero? n) #f (even? (- n 1)))))) (even? 88)) The level of…
As a side note, Scheme and parenthesis hell when writing code on the midterms.... Also car caar cdr cddr etc etc (you can theoretically nest as deeply as needed) hahaha that class...
My First CS class at Berkeley (CS61A) was the last semester (Fall 2010, my first semester of college) where it was taught it in Scheme. After that they apparently switched the class to python. My professor was Brian…
When I become a parent, I shall do the same thing with my kids. Thanks for sharing your wisdom.
Having worked at Microsoft and now at Apple (and a startup before these two), in my opinion The overall distribution of proficiencies and talent across engineering teams (both hardware and software teams) in my opinion…
Oh I wasn’t equating my experience to yours. I saw people commenting trying to say you were race baiting and stuff for your comment about your experience growing up in America. And I disagreed with them and didn’t like…
When my Malaysian immigrant parents bought their first ever house in America (actually still to this day their only house), It was in a neighborhood in what was a small town about 20-30 minutes away from the Capitol…
Yeah I agree with you that fear of the unknown shouldn’t be a reason to not try something new. Although for many of us (myself included from time to time), it ends up being the strongest reason to resist change,…
While I agree with the overall sentiment here, on an unrelated note I noticed someone commented “If I saw Terence Tao’s name on it I’d assume it’s true” (I’m paraphrasing what they said) That kind of assumption has…
How come nobody discusses the countries which already employ universal basic income for their citizens like Saudi Arabia or the UAE? I guess because it serves as a counter example to many of the claims of universal…
Before I joined Apple I was at Microsoft and I did use a Windows Phone. It was a Lumia 1520. And honestly the OS was rock solid and worked great (unlike my experience with the Lenovo Windows work laptop I was given…
I’m wondering if the study differentiated between analyzing the effect of piracy on large companies with big profit margins versus small companies with thin profit margins. My conjecture is that piracy would have a…
Btw I see a lot of folks here always taking shots at the USA and it looks like there is a fairly large international audience in this “Hacker News” group. But as someone who has somewhat extensively studied American…
When I first saw that initial article of them mentioning their startup which was titled: “ Two Ex-Googlers Want To Make Bodegas And Mom-And-Pop Corner Stores Obsolete “ I already knew it was doomed. I mean an upper…
I haven’t ventured into the more rural towns in Idaho I suspect they must be more similar to your town in Oregon. Rural poverty is a nontrivial issue in Idaho, especially when it comes to healthcare.
My town was only 30 mins away from the capitol (Boise) So perhaps the capitol city tax revenue was also used in Meridian (my hometown).
When I moved into Silicon Valley I noticed the same thing! In many Silicon Valley towns like Mountain View and Sunnyvale the sidewalks suddenly just stop and you’re forced to walk on the side is the road. And in…
