The "qualia" is a vague enough concept to be used as an argument ad ignorantiam. "Free will" is a totally irrelevant concept that's presented as a fundamental problem.

And no, it's not that's tainted by religion, it's that it makes no sense at all without religious thinking.

Dualism is the belief that there is a material body and a inmaterial soul that controls the body. As the knowledge of mind expanded, the soul retreated. That's just how things happened historically, but the logic is to ditch the soul concept altogether, not reducing it to an entelechy. The problem with doing the later is you end up inventing fake problems like "free will".

Will is not free in a vacuum. People are born with things that we like and some other things that we dislike, not the same for every person. Then family, society and circumstances, including sheer luck, shape our wills to a point. There is also the possibility of changing our own likes, acquiring what we consider desirable tastes.

We're not free to completely bootstrap ourselves. But that is not the same at saying we've not free will at all. Determinism is alike to saying that it's impossible that heavier than air machines can fly. You take a general concept that seems obvious, ignore all intermediate steps and reach an unwarranted conclusion. The intermediate steps in this case is the fact that our mind is in a material world, generated by a material brain and that our wills, our memories and everything else is part of the material world also. So saying that material laws prevent us from being free is absurd. We are made of matter, we are not "trapped in matter", that's a relic.

Ask HN: Developer burnout – how to rediscover the passion, or new career?
I've been developing software for the last 15 years and I've stopped 3 months ago and just quit. It wasn't the job, it was one of the better companies I've worked for, the people were nice, the tech was cool and the money was great. Outside of work my life is pretty fulfilled, my first child was born last year, and although its been hard its also really awesome.

I've just lost the passion for developing software :(

I've taken 3 months off so far, but still can't bring myself to open up some code - I'm wondering now if I should think about changing career completely, what can an ex-developer retrain into?
Performance gains of GraalVM's AOT are drastically reduced startup time (1 ms for my Java/Kotlin command-line applications), elimination of JIT warmup time, and reduced memory footprint. For peak performance of a language as dynamic as Java, a JIT is hard to beat. Profile-guided optimizations will narrow the gap but are only available in GraalVM Enterprise Edition. Native executables also have a less sophisticated GC than HotSpot.
Yeah, I know you can use vim. Text editing is not even close to where the major pain points are with Vivado. There's more to the workflow of developing a FPGA than adding files in Vivado.

My experience went something like this:
An hardware engineer needs to do a routine task like add a peripheral, swap some pin assignments, and modify the Verilog/VHDL. So they do all their synthesis and have an export ready to hand it off the the software engineer. They commit their changes and it probably causes differences in dozens of files, but so is life. It seems like this could be reduced to differences in a few human-readable files, except for the bitstream which obviously is binary.

The SW engineer then needs to update the FSBL and BSP for the board. I never found a way to automate this on the command line, you needed to update the FSBL using their horrible Eclipse-based import tool. In my case, I had to make some manual modifications to the FSBL. I think for my modifications that I needed to flip some GPIO pins early in the boot process and also do some RSA validation on the bitstream. Well, all those modifications would get wiped out. I never found a way to template those and preserve them across new imports.

So I had a bunch of differences that had to be manually merged every time. I had notes about it, but come on. What a pain. At the end of all of this, many dozens more files were changed. Once again, it seems like this should reduce to just handful of human-readable files like a FSBL configuration header / C file, the new U-Boot config, and the new kconfig. But instead you had two massive changesets in version control for some very routine work.
I don't see why a trade war would make the Chinese stop spying on us. If discouraging bad behavior is the goal, rewarding ZTE for violating trade sanctions doesn't seem like a step in the right direction.

Hey,

This is Gonto. I'm the VP, Marketing and Growth at Auth0. I want to assure you that in no way is Auth0's platform insecure, or is any customer domain at risk. This is not a vulnerability, a flaw, nor is there anything to be patched. To learn more about this, please check our blog post: https://auth0.com/blog/phishing-attacks-with-auth0-facts-fir...

Thanks!

> Vue is magic, and its own DSL rules will get in your way. For instance, inside the Vue templates you cannot use `this`. However, inside your methods and computed, you have to.

Except everyone seems to complain that "this" exists at all, but then it's confusing that "this" is implicit inside an objects own template?

The DSL is awesome, and what makes it even more awesome is that it's optional. Your options are HTML, Jade/Pug, JSX, and a literal vanilla function. After the compile process, the template ends up as a render function.

> Never could make ESLint work on my Vue files, tried all plugins. Some parts of the code it lints, and some parts of the code it doesn't.

I can't say for sure this was true a year or more ago (especially in that short time you couldn't tell which libraries supported Vue 1 or 2 or both), but today and for as long as I've remembered eslint has been working in my Vue component files and inside sublime linter. My biggest complaint is that I want reasonML.
The idea here would be that consciousness isn't a "thing" at all, and so doesn't abide by the same constraints as things. Instead, consciousness is the very luminosity that arises as the experience called "seeing a red flower" (as well as all sights, sounds, thoughts, etc. that constitute your experience of the world). Space, matter, energy, etc. are then mental categories convenient for describing the shape and behavior of consciousness.

The two questions are then (1) what is the cause of this luminosity itself, and (2) why is it taking this particular form (red flower).

The mystical claim is that it is possible to know firsthand that time, space, etc. are illusions constrained to this dream, and that the luminosity itself is beyond them (and therefore not meaningfully "caused"). And the answer to why the dream is taking this particular shape can be known because "you" are, ultimately, the luminosity itself (aka "God").

Proving this to others is a different matter. In fact, in general the problem of intersubjectivity (to avoid the whole thing collapsing into solipsism) is the hardest aspect to communicate.
There is a reason they called it stagflation. It wasn’t a good time at all in the US.

Groups which consider you a member.

This may include say a dog that considers me part of it's group but not a wold looking to eat me. Large groups are so recent in evolutionary terms as to be irrelevant. Nations and companies etc may be exploiting traits benifitial in much smaller group sizes.

Remember cost benifit is non linear, which is why trade for example happens. I might spend more resources than I receive while benefiting more than it costs me.

But I very clearly was asking about the aggregate, in fact I specifically said it isn't useful on an individual basis.

Made by an engineer turned economist from New Zealand no less.

Sadly he is better know for a diagram he drew of an observation, the Phillips curve.

I fear that much like this hydraulic model, Steve Keen's work is likely to be ignored or ridiculed by future economists while they fret over religious X diagrams.
For me, I think IH has increased in value in some ways. They are doing more meetups, so its nice to be able to converse face to face with people. The newsletter provides curated summary of the best content, so you do not have to spend a ton of time in the forums. In general, the forum is a great place to ask questions and get great answers. It is more niche focused than say HN so your chances of getting an answers are certainly higher. The podcasts for me were much better in the beginning, but I do occasionally listen to one.

At some point, if your going to build something, you have to get off websites and just get your hands dirty building it.

That sounds a lot like the neoclassical economist's argument that everything everybody does is actually all in their own self-interest, which then goes on to increasingly tortured lengths to explain things like altruistic punishment that are pretty well-demonstrated in the lab, but don't pop up in neoclassical models until they are confronted with uncomfortable facts. If your definition of "altruism" is such that you can explain away any possible example of it, then the issue is not that altruism doesn't exist, but rather that your definition of it is so odd as to not match the common meaning of the word.

These statements are the spitting image of the Blub essay[0]. No matter what language you like, the world splits into languages where you have to do lots of things manually with high risk of mistakes, languages that have tons of sneaky implicit behavior, and your language.

All the "sync" commands are blocking. In my experience developers need discipline to avoid using those and blocking the whole app.

Of the languages mentioned I believe Go is actually closest to all io being non blocking by default; with the caveat that you are using multiple go routines.
> Do you mean the kernel is going to load random files from a user writable location? That sounds like a security nightmare TBH.

On a server, sure, but on a PC? It's their computer, they should be able to do that. You're confused because permission systems on Desktop OSs are currently based around user accounts, which is silly. If they were based around applications instead it wouldn't be a problem.

> That assumes you have the rights to distribute the library and that the library is small enough.

If you don't, then why is your application using it? As for size, multi-GB applications are pretty common. It's not libraries that bring that size up, it's assets. Some applications have icons larger than most libraries. Otherwise, if your application isn't valuable enough to be worth the size of that library, then maybe you shouldn't use such a huge dependency in the first place.

> Maybe not for you. For millions of other users, its a very important use case.

Apparently not one you're willing to elaborate on. Besides, as mentioned, I believe there are better and simpler solutions to the problem than package management. In fact, how the hell does package management even help here?

Ask HN: How do you visualise your business?
I work two days a week on my own business by myself. My main income is a SaaS product and I have a number of other projects including websites and apps (apis) which contribute to my income. The income currently fills the gap of being an employee 3 days a week.

I would be interested to hear about how folk visualise their business. What do you go back to remind yourself of what your business is about? I don't think I'm talking about project management. The analogy of a map, rather than directions on how to get there, comes to mind.

> Surely it's a massively important cost in terms of weight? Engine efficiency isn't just about cutting costs, it's about maximising payload - and the majority of a rocket's mass is fuel. Even a 5 percent efficiency gain is a huge win for payload.

It's not that easy an answer. This point about maximizing efficiency to maximize payload only really matters if you are trying to increase the payload delivered for an existing system of fixed size. If you have the latitude to design a new /derivative vehicle, then you have the latitude to size the tanks larger to account for increased propellant. Propellant is cheap compared to the other costs of manufacturing and operating a rocket-propelled vehicle, though as re-use becomes more and more common, the sensitivity to propellant costs might be higher.

Another thing to keep in mind is that efficiency in the form of increased Isp can be traded for engine thrust-to-weight. The SpaceX Merlin engine for example, uses an "inefficient" (i.e., low Isp) gas generator kerosene cycle, but has incredible thrust-to-weight (so is very mass-efficient).

Aerospike engines will tend to be heavier due to distributing the thrust chamber exhaust circumferentially as opposed to through a small central throat.

In practice, with a multi-stage system it is very hard to realize a system-level performance benefit from an aerospike configuration, which is the principal reason why they have not been used. Worth noting, the original Space Shuttle Main Engine configuration Rocketdyne developed was an aerospike, which makes sense given the engine fires from ground level to orbit. NASA Marshall apparently felt this was excessively high risk, so mandated a bell nozzle. The high area-ratio SSME nozzle is operating at the hairy edge of internal separation, and visibly "twangs" as the engine starts up and the internal shock blows out of the nozzle. Very low-throttle operation at sea level involves running with the shock and separated flow inside the nozzle and results in debits against the nozzle life.

Interest in the aerospike configuration waxes and wanes within the U.S. DoD & NASA, but currently the Air Force Research Lab is considering pursuing a modular aerospike engine program. The benefits are not in the realm of performance, but rather the aerospike Isp benefit is used to offset the lower thrust-to-weight. The real motivation is the desire to gang smaller thrust chambers and turbomachinery sets to provide more of a "Lego-like" low-cost way to design, test, and scale up these engines.

Also a reminder that NeXT had this years ago. It’s just nice to see all this stuff coming back.
I'm 95% that the whole thing is an elaborate joke.
Of course there’s something in it for me when I give: I want to live in a better world.

And if it’s not noticeably better, I feel good because I know I tried. A few billion people doing this and we’ll make a lot of progress.
I have thee theories, any of which could be true independently of each other. From a long-term perspective it seems obvious to me that Musk is aligned with some kind of progress-friendly coalition, and that this is part of a greater pattern of sabre - rattling between Elon's faction and a more conservative rival which many of the legacy media outlets belong to. On a smaller scale, it could be that the labour and automation issues are pretty well sorted and he's baiting shorts. Finally, it could be that since he's entered a new romantic relationship recently, he's simply undergoing a personality change and more easily combative.

Sorry in advance because I'm not trying to be difficult, but I've never been able to get anything out of Berlin's writings, other than some of his gossipy letters. He was a sparkling socialite of the academic elite, which makes him a historical figure in that way. But what valuable or original ideas did he come up with? The many essays about him, including the OP, never seem to specify this, at least not in any way that registers with me. It all seems so mushy and middling.
Those are nice, though #1 breaks down with multiple monitors. None really required a new DE, could have been added to any of the existing.
Just a note that the drive realtime interface is going away, google for some reason decided to push out third party devs from their drive platform.

Surely homebrew will just extend to support building for ARM. For some packages that will “just work”, others will require some upgrades, but that’s already the case for OS upgrades now. Homebrew operate build servers to keep cached builds, I’m sure they can do the same for both ARM and x86.

It would be a big job, but much of the software on Homebrew is already ARM compatible, and I think there’s a clear path to supporting that, which should make the migration relatively seamless for most developers I’d imagine.

It won’t be without issue, but I don’t think it will hurt macOS as a development OS much in the long run.
I can see low cost ARM based MacBook (savings from not paying Intel tax) marketed as long battery high end hardware replacement for ChromeBooks. It can still run modified OS X which allows for Mac App Store apps (MS Office just announced Mac App Store support), browser, email etc. Throw in native iTunes/iPhoto with cloud storage and you got a pretty nice offering.
Seems extremely cost prohibitive. In addition to the extra rails and control systems, you’d need a high speed locomotive and several cars for every single station along the route.

That's true, but that doesn't explain why the HDL IDEs lack modern productivity features or why the simulator GUIs have the same interface as 20 years ago. Inertia and vendor lock-in are better explanations IMHO.

I hope with FPGAs becoming more mainstream the open source/hobbyist community will step in and refine some things, but if the big EDA shops don't take hints from the software industry things are not going to change very fast.
One random idea, not sure how practical - Do a screenshot analysis/pattern matching on all customer login pages. If verbiage or screenshot matches are close enough, it get's flagged for human review. This would only work on the pages at different auth0 domains obviously. Since the login url endpoints are saved in the Auth0 admin console, it could be easy to directly check the page. If that doesn't work, you could require customers store the login url's to make scanning them easier.
