Really wish Fujitsu sold a developer kit with an A64fx chip - its the only shipping ARM chip with SVE that I know of and I would love to get my hands on one to play with.
There are some architecture manuals on github to peruse.

Just how in the world are people deploying Django apps with DEBUG = True?
That can happen when maintainers are professional scientists rather than professional web developers update: added "professional" before "scientists"
But you'd think they're still reading through Django's deployment documentation which explicitly states that you don't run DBEUG = True in production.

To be even fairer, I've served a shit ton of traffic on a small DigitalOcean droplet and never had issues because my stack is reasonable.
What’s your stack, and how much traffic?
I survived without errors from being to HN front page with Nginx and a static site (made with Hugo, iirc) on a Linode 1GB (when the plan was still existing). No CDN whatsoever.

I used to support scientists. I would not expect that unless you got the documentation published in a high-profile journal.

#65I cannot think of any plausible way in which Apple could have influenced the date of this announcement, but the timing, given what is expected to be announced later today, is uncanny.
am out of the loop. what is the rumor?

Simple, human error and no code review process for your production environment. Something similar happened to a huge retailer here in Austria where just typing your username without password would log you in. Reason? An intern committed debug code to production and nobody noticed. In my book that's not the fault of the intern but the fault of the CTO/$TECH_LEAD that hasn't implemented and religiously uphold a code re…
I live in Austria as well, could you share to which retailer it happened?

That Apple will be moving at least part of their consumer machines to ARM-based chips.

Imagine if Apple were to announce a Mac utilise the exact same chip. A powerful high TDP CPU will be great fit for Apple, while they continue to focus on low power and energy efficiency for their mainstream product.

#70We're living in an age in which AWS dwarfs all the machines on the TOP500 taken together. The TOP500 is a vestige of the cold war that needs to be retired. Similarly to how the US and the USSR used to compare their numbers of nuclear warheads, it is comparing a reserve of capacity that is probably going to be retired having brought marginal benefits at best, all in order to goad taxpayers into a futile competition.
I don't think more than half a percent of taxpayers know about top500, and I don't think many who know even care how their country ranks.
