Yes, winetricks, and PlayOnLinux for me, had been incredibly useful. Learning about wineprefix to keep separate environments has been good too.

Don't get me wrong, it's an incredible feat that seems so close to magic to me! Highly appreciated but nonetheless frustrating.

> Research? You could buy a lot of research for the amount of money we’re currently spending on medicine in healthcare and right now we’re really just paying a corporate tax to save lives so that some 1%’et can get even richer.

You're absolutely, completely, 100% right. That amount of money could buy an incredible amount of research!

Right now, the American government institutions that fund this kind of research are infamous for being very risk-averse. They fund research, but do so in a way that takes few chances. Younger researchers get shut out. Researchers chasing novel ideas often get shut out. After all, why fund some moonshot when there's someone with a good track record of results to fund instead?

Basically, there's ample reason to doubt that the American institutions in question could actually do better if they were handing out the funding. Oh, and the grant-giving bureaucracy is also infamous.
I agree. And the laws are stated in complex sentences, so I really could use some more explanation. To learn more I have to click, go to another page, wait for a slow animation of the poster design and only then I could one paragraph explaining it further. And when I go back to the home page, it takes up to the top at the first law and I have to scroll it all over again to the point I was before.

Awful experience.

It looks like the author is a talented graphic designer that decided to compile the laws of UX without reading them (actually, I wouldn't know, as there was too much friction for me to read them all)

> The 1:1 peg with USD is a total farce

As long as the demand for USDT soars, it works! They can keep the price pegged by creating more USDT. If the demand shrinks they can buy some back. If the demand shinks enough, they go belly up and all is worthless.

Actually not too different than fiat currency. Only they have the demand for it locked by laws/ treaties/ wars/ etc. Tether is not that big.
What is the approach? Are they starting a new fab? Or will they simply lower costs by batching multiple projects together?
I hear the same thing from the art world, if you don't understand this art then it's because you are too ignorant. I think it's bullshit there as well.
I love the story of Fallout. They decided to use nuclear reactors on cars because there as a lack of petroleum. It was too late though since the Great War started (and ended) a couple of years later.
I think the problem have more to do with software, CPU's are just built to meet the demands.

Today most software can only scale if you add a faster processor, that has to stop, before that happens, there is not much the processor manufacturer can do, their hands are tied IMO
Ironically the site itself breaks the 3rd listed law, Jakob's law that states "Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know." because it breaks the back button. When navigating to a law and then hitting back the site sends you to the top of the list again.

IMO the problem is on the software side, if software was built to harness a distributed architecture the CPU companies job would be much easier, so more could do it, which would increase competition and drive price cuts.

It's actually kinda funny you mentioned designed without understanding FPGA development. VHDL predates FPGAs. Further, there are a lot of features that exist that are un-synthesizable. Some belong to the analog world. Some can't even be really even be used to build a real device.

That aside I needed to keep reminding myself as I read the article that this is about photography as art, aping the style of old photographs.
But those old photos don't necessarily look the way they do because the photographers of that time were after a certain aesthetic, they were simply the best photographs it was possible to make at that time.
Can you expand on that - I'm failing to see how the sex of the student is relevant?

Uber’s complexity and lack of transparency around paying drivers is a really bad idea for the company, and only an MBA could think it’s good. Someday Uber will discover that they were just a missing feature in Google Maps, and this is why all the drivers will switch.

Your examples have convinced me that a 3 part tariff is generally bad and an indication of extractive desperation on the part of the vendor, and fundamentally based on deception. If you wonder why people hate their banks, pricing is the reason.

Hmm, I see, and I agree that it is very subversive to edit your comment without a mention. I think even just a single "edited" marker would be enough to cast doubt on the mismatch between comment and reply. It's also not a big deal to make comments uneditable after a reply, because the edit period is fairly small, and I don't think people actually use HN for "real-time discussion". Maybe it's interesting to see the rate of replies within the editable period of a comment?

Even then, I don't think your reply is correct in dismissing the claim. A charitable interpretation would be that the poster meant personality trait, not including programming skill. Even a very strict interpretation still leaves room for the poster's assertion, via this hypothetical:

- totality of traits used when determining programmer quality is 100%

- abuse tolerance is the most highly selected, at 10%

- programming skill is quantified by 90 different traits at 1% each

This would mean that people without programming skill would not become programmers, but the top trait would still be abuse tolerance.

Anyway, I feel this is getting highly nitpicky at this point, I don't feel the poster was trying to make a statistical claim, but rather just emphasize that they believe "abuse tolerance" is very important for programmers, which I don't find to be facially unsubstantive or "flamebait".

There's an interesting idea in this article around how with the increase in convenience that technology brings, we don't realize that something else gets lost. If you can only take one photo and know that it will be hours of work to even find out if it was any good, you're going to invest a lot of time trying to make sure that photo is perfect. You're going to pour your skill and passion into that one photo. Would you do the same when you're taking 200 shots?

Last night my phone's charge cable stopped working and my phone battery was dead. I had to get to a mall 20 minutes drive away without GPS in a city I've never been to before. I realized that in the last decade, I've never once had to navigate, ever. I've used the GPS as a technology crutch for so long that my skill has atrophied, maybe. I made it, thankfully, but I haven't been nervous like that when diving in a long time.

The whole experience has left me wondering just what else I don't know I might have lost because of all the technology around me.

Nice story (the first one) about the "top-down" approach, where you discover new complexity and choices at every level. Note how the discovery of new detail ends when you choose to use existing building blocks with known properties, based on experience (e.g. screws instead of examining which of the many possible ways of attaching parts would be most suitable). How simple this would be if you could buy pre-cut boards suitable for stairs at just the right angles and with holes drilled at optimal positions!

Standardising and having a limited set of (appropriate, well-understood) choices at every level is key to building complex projects. Which is probably one of the reasons why software quality isn't really improving...

Gkya's law of usefulness of a web page:

The usefulness of a web page is a function of the multiplication of the number of laws it cites w/o any context whatsoever and the ratio of the lines of text such page contains in a screenful over how many it could've contained.

> The time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size of the target.

Wat?

> The time it takes to make a decision increases with the number and complexity of choices.

Certainly. But this is as relevant as general relativity to designing UX: the context is the key. What are you making, for what purpose, when, for whom? In this form in which it's put forth here, this can mean about anything.

> Users spend most of their time on other sites. This means that users prefer your site to work the same way as all the other sites they already know.

This is SOOO WRONG. I probably don't spend time on those sites because I'm in love with their UI, most of the time I'm fighting it with uBlock and patience. Many people are in prisons, that doesn't mean they like it.

> People will perceive and interpret ambiguous or complex images as the simplest form possible, because it is the interpretation that requires the least cognitive effort of us.

Again, this means nothing. It's like, "stones are hard". Alright then, what am I supposed to do? Sand them? Hit my head on them? Throw them at passers-by?

> Objects that are near, or proximate to each other, tend to be grouped together.

Alright...

> The average person can only keep 7 (plus or minus 2) items in their working memory.

Yeah...

> Any task will inflate until all of the available time is spent.

Oh, thanks...

> Users have a propensity to best remember the first and last items in a series.

This is kind of immediately useful, but it's also neat that this rule is ignored in making this fancy bulleted list.

> Tesler's Law, also known as The Law of Conservation of Complexity, states that for any system there is a certain amount of complexity which cannot be reduced.

Agree.

> The Von Restorff effect, also known as The Isolation Effect, predicts that when multiple similar objects are present, the one that differs from the rest is most likely to be remembered.

Certainly true.

This web page is a good demonstration of bad UX: there certainly are some stuff there that could be useful, but no indication of how that can be possible is made, no explanation of what is before the eyes of the reader is there, the only means of interpretation provided to the reader is intuition, illegiblity is swiftly achieved by using black font on a nearly-black background, the viewport is used with absolutely no care to efficiency, and there is a menu that requires JavaScript to operate. This is like a parody of a page on UX laws.

Put information on your web pages, people.
So that's one "wasted" advanced screening for one where cancer is found. That seems great to me.

Also, I assume it would be mostly done on higher risk patients (certain work conditions, certain age, etc..). Only once in couple of years on younger population for example. Or if it's really cheap everyone could get it and then there could be more focused blood screening done next so you don't have to get full body cat scans.
This is largely how "guest blogging" works too. Marketing agencies hire writers who create content for their clients. The agencies then give the content to publishers for free, and it's published under a pseudonymous byline or the byline of an executive that typically includes a link to the client.

When you see an article in Forbes written by a CEO or some other executive, it's often ghost written by a marketing agency's writers.
In my own experience, for desktop/workstation/audio, linux-rt (the -rt patchset) is the kernel to use, hands off.

Nevermind the lower latency, it does feel way better to use. It's like using a different operating system, one that's actually a decent desktop OS.
Skype is far better than when they call from a cell. Ditto with podcasts. I will usually skip the episode if the guest is on a cell.

I hope you realize that in the silicium industry scale has a huge impact on price. Unless an open processor sells as much as an Intel or AMD model, it will certainly cost more.
Imagine an Electron app of this! Then JS paint could be run right from the desktop.
In order to make a trade, what you are getting must be more valuable to you than what you pay - isn't that axiomatic? If you are willing to trade $2 for a Coke, then the Coke must be worth more to you, and therefore it follows $2 is not your maximum price. Your maximum price is at least $2 + epsilon.

Since it is impossible to make a completely one-sided trade, one may ask how one-sided is acceptable, and if perhaps the optimal situation is where it is balanced in favor of the consumer...
From a practical perspective, if surending means you get tortured then people are more likely to keep fighting which costs both sides significantly. On the other hand taking someone as a prisoner of war and treating them reasonably means denying the enemy soldiers at minimal cost.

This is especially true at the end of a war.
ARM recently mentioned working on IP that you could turn off features to increase security. Probably will eat little silicon, so could be cheap.Intel may copy.

And since it's ARM, it's at least half-open.

Cloud providers will be interested - slower cpu's = more money, plus selling the cloud as a more secure option to your data center.

And once you have a cpu that with a hardware switch can become more secure but slower, maybe there's a decent enough niche somewhere.
Yes, same. But I tried maybe 2 years ago.

There needs to be better guidelines and enforcement to stop companies from using psychological "hacks" to get into our minds to trick us into doing something.
I've thought about this too, and generalizing to one more degree, I believe it comes down to perspective. The details are what keep you locked in that perspective.

It's difficult, but invaluable, to truly see things from other perspectives. Once we begin learning the small details of one perspective, our minds seem to develop heuristics for quickly judging all things from that perspective. Attempting to see things from a different perspective slows us down and makes us uncomfortable.

Citation needed, but I sincerely believe our intellectual difference are just a consequence of viewing things through many layers of varied perspectives. So for people who have considered global warming and believe it to be false, it really is false. That is reality. It's all subjective.
I don't understand how a trade with no consumer surplus benefits a consumer. If it benefits the consumer, then they would be willing to pay some of the value of the benefit and hence their surplus value is not zero, which is a contradiction. If it does not benefit the consumer, they will not make the trade.

In 1845, Karl Marx wrote that in a communist society workers would be freed from the monotony of a single draining job to “hunt in the morning, fish in the afternoon, rear cattle in the evening, criticise after dinner”

FTFY.
> The time to acquire a target is a function of the distance to and size of the target.

If you need to move the cursor far and to a small target, it will take a long time to hone in on it.

The shorter you have to move it, and the larger the target - the easier it is to click.

For example the menu on macOS is always at the top of the screen, making its target HUGE and is therefore basically O(1) to hit.

Hofstadter's law [0]: It always takes longer than you expect, even when you take into account Hofstadter's Law.

Interesting, Hofstadter's original motivation for the law was the observation (published in 1979) about the then delays in computers beating grandmasters at chess (first in 1997 and now routinely_.
