It's a funny feeling opening hacker news and seeing your project at the top :)

In iTerm2's case it's because of bad decisions about a decade ago. The data model is read & written on the main thread. The main thread is solely responsible for drawing operations if you use the standard drawRect: interface on NSView. That means that a slow draw blocks it from processing more data. Other work, like reading from the socket and parsing bytes into tokens was offloaded onto other threads years ago. Unwinding all the assumptions about single-threadedness is nearly impossible. The only way to reduce the main thread's workload is to use a GPU renderer because building the data structures the GPU needs can be done off the main thread after a quick copy of the necessary state.
It's easier to read this as an single unrolled post than as a set of tweets:

There’s also Vegas nearby if you want a totally different scene. My wife and I would go to Vegas quite often before our child and had a wonderful time - almost rejuvenating to our relationship. Now that I think about it, feels odd to say you had a great time in Vegas with your wife haha.
Depends on your metric. But typically, there's quite a bit of overhead in most decentralized systems, that's one of the reasons they don't gain widespread adoption.
Would you wait to die instead of stealing something to save yourself?
I’m guessing here but given the target of macOS this is done to prevent the GPU from being used. Many apps on macOS can do their drawing on the CPU or via the onboard Intel graphics. Metal presumably would force the GPU on, which would impact battery life.

I can't help but think you're talking about expended brass, not blanks. One is functionally metallic debris, while the other is a small lump of explosives and a detonator inside a metal shell. Militaries tend to be much more stringent around policing the latter than the former.
As part of the investigation, Mr. Cagney’s behavior quickly came under scrutiny. At the time, he denied to board members and staff that he was in an intimate relationship at the company with anyone other than his wife, who also worked at SoFi, the people familiar with the proceedings said.

Mr. Cagney reversed himself after Sullivan & Cromwell told the board there was ample evidence — in emails, hotel receipts and the manifests of private jet flights — that he had used company resources to pursue a romantic relationship with an employee, the people said. Mr. Cagney said he had previously suggested that employee as a promising candidate for chief financial officer.

At Aflac, this would have been a firing offense both because he was her superior and because it was an illicit affair. I am a little weirded out that the company seems kind of okay with it being an illicit affair. The article indicates he wasn't breaking any rules at the time for seeing a subordinate. That rule was added later:

SoFi also instituted an ethics policy that explicitly prohibits intimate relationships between supervisors and subordinates.

I felt I had doors close in my face at Aflac due to the romantic interest of powerful men there, though none of them were breaking any rules or harming their own career. Even without getting involved, in one case just asking me out made me feel like my hopes of transferring to the same department had just died.

I don't have the answers. I'm currently doing freelance work and feeling like everyone in the small town where I live is off limits romantically. Because things get tricky once you introduce that element and it can close doors that you didn't know you might want or need to go through.
Yes, Terminal does it more independently. Maybe some day I'll make enough on Patreon that I can quit my day job and fix that :). If this is really important to you there are knobs you can turn to trade off refresh rate vs throughput. Enable "Prefs>General>Advanced GPU Settings>Maximize Throughput" and then fiddle with "Prefs>Advanced>When adaptive framerate is enabled and using the Metal renderer, refresh at this rate during high throughput conditions (FPS)". Adaptive framerate works by estimating the current throughput and adjusting the refresh rate accordingly. Terminal.app does this very aggressively, dropping the frame rate to 10 FPS so it can cat the 1.5M file so quickly.
Instructive is the smear campaign against SMTP Creator and IANA head Jon Postel by anonymous "senior government officials" in the months before his death. It was a classic government smear campaign, against someone who did so much, for such low pay, to get the Internet working. He was repaid by the government hounding him in the months before his death. Thankfully John Gilmore held up the torch on all the shady deals going on after he died, even though not much was done.
> Supercapacitors are the thing that halves the requirement for these lithium iron batteries that we are supposed to be running out of.

That's patently false, though. Skeleton claims they have legitimately impressive power/weight ratios, but that's totally irrelevant to vehicles. The current batteries can push short bursts of well over 2 kW/kg. Even the smallest cars (the Smart FourTwo has a 50-100 kW engine) can be powered by tiny batteries (10-15 kWh). Cruising range is the deciding factor in battery size, and capacitors are totally irrelevant to that. The electric FourTwo could be fitted with a 10 kWh battery, but nobody really wants <35 miles of range. At that point it makes far more sense to have an electric bicycle.

To really drive the point home, there are readily available batteries that have 5x the specific power of the batteries used in EVs, and only ~20% less capacity. They aren't used, because the extra power is not required.

Worth noting: there is a way to do this well. I've been through a visa screening involving domestic and international criminal and espionage background checks that completed in about ten minutes while I waited (that country was the Philippines). There are also a great deal of countries where they allow visas on arrival, where presumably the quite minimal screening happens at the airline.
I’m envious. Out of all the places I’ve been, San Diego has always made it to the top of my list of places I want to live in.
I think the article makes it clear that the author does not like to travel too far from home. They don't like dealing with foreign languages nor foreign cultures. They want to be near friends and family (people they know). Beyond the apparent dislike for travel, the article reflects a view that vacationing in another country is an exercise in crossing items of a list or showing off on social media. That misses the mark by quite a bit.

The point of visiting a foreign place is not to escape your home and yourself, but to learn more about yourself, the world and your place in it. There are ways to decry escapism without suggesting people close themselves off to new places and new experiences.

iTerm2 was not designed for GPU rendering from day one so it suffers from some complexity that hurts performance. This will get better in macOS 10.14 because I won't have to worry about subpixel antialiasing which adds some extra steps (details here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1vfBq6vg409Zky-IQ7ne-Yy7o...).

There's also a lot of preprocessing to do before sending work to the GPU. For example, computing the color of each cell is a very complex algorithm because foreground and background colors interact with each other and also determine the font. For example, you can enable thinner strokes only when it's light text on a dark background. Work can't be sent to the GPU until the text is rendered into a texture, which means colors must be known. There's room for optimization here for common cases, but I haven't taken that on yet. My goal for 3.2 is for it to be an improvement over the legacy renderer and a solid foundation for iteration in the future.
Hmm well my guess is that for a lot of terminal apps they're expecting to draw directly to the screen without ever dropping a frame.

You could add a buffer but if you can't drop frames that will only smooth out vsync wait.

This is the correct way to answer a question. Not sure why the parent question is being downvoted rather than simply being answered. All that does is promote ignorance.
Despite being someone from a country that end in -stan, I got my US travel visa approved immediately and processed in a week.

While I don't know why you were rejected the first time around, I think the 102 day wait time is because your application is at the bottom of someone's work pile, where it will stay until they realize something is wrong.

I'd personally ping them again and politely ask if it usually takes this long to process applications of this sort.
No, it's not. At least not if you're counting the old papers as traditional.

If you're counting cable news companies as traditional, you're probably 30 or younger and don't remember when news companies actually did research and had editors that fact-checked.

I always leave a review with pictures and as much info as I can if the product is shit and not what I expected or what the reviews suggested to help the next folks. I actually bought a jump rope on Amazon that was "Amazon's Choice" and it turned out to be crap. I found that exact same jump rope at Walmart for $4.99 instead of $25 on Amazon and went to war with the seller.

He emailed me repeatedly offering refunds or a new rope, etc to change my review. This only encouraged me to post more pictures and comparisons. Eventually, they just added like 20 reviews to push mine down.

I don't buy anything on AMZN anymore unless it is something where I know I'm getting the real thing at a good price. Typically you can find those cheap Chinese items on AMZN for a lot less at Walmart or a local store. It's a shame that AMZN isn't able to police their reviews culling all the fakery.
> I think life is about experiences.

I'm going to hijack this quote to discuss an incredibly unpopular idea (among my generation, at least) that I've been kicking around lately. I encountered the exact idea in a book recently, so I'll just let the book explain it:

> Romanticism tells us that in order to make the most of our human potential we must have as many different experiences as we can. We must open ourselves to a wide spectrum of emotions; we must sample various kinds of relationships; we must try different cuisines; we must learn to appreciate different styles of music. One of the best ways to do all that is to break free from our daily routine, leave behind our familiar setting, and go travelling in distant lands, where we can 'experience' the culture, the smells, the tastes and the norms of other people. We hear again and again the romantic myths about 'how a new experience opened my eyes and changed my life'.

> Consumerism tells us that in order to be happy we must consume as many products and services as possible. If we feel that something is missing or not quite right, then we probably need to buy a product (a car, new clothes, organic food) or a service (housekeeping, relationship therapy, yoga classes). Every television commercial is another little legend about how consuming some product or service will make life better.

> Romanticism, which encourages variety, meshes perfectly with consumerism. Their marriage has given birth to the infinite 'market of experiences', on which the modern tourism industry is founded. The tourism industry does not sell flight tickets and hotel bedrooms. It sells experiences. Paris is not a city, nor India a country --- they are both experiences, the consumption of which is supposed to widen our horizons, fulfill our human potential, and make us happier...

--- Sapiens by Yuval Noah Harari, p. 115-6

I looked at my Mom's generation and was majorly put off by their general obsession with material possessions. Fight Club profoundly moved me when I first saw it, partly for this reason. So I told myself that I'd spend my money on experiences. Only recently, after having the good fortune to be able to travel around the world a bit, have I come to the different opinion that it's still consumerism. Instagram culture made this very clear. Even my love of reading is a form of consumerism.

It was a bit of a shock to see that passage in Sapiens, because for all of my supposed individualism, I realized that this is probably a widespread trend among my generation (I was born late 80s) and that I wasn't as unique, contrarian, and individualistic as I had imagined myself to be.

I'm still a rebel without a cause, so now I'm focusing my efforts on creating. Painting. Writing. Starting a business. Programming stuff, with the sole purpose of fun and expression. Creating feels like more of a qualitative shift away from consumerism. Don't really have a name for it, though. Creatorism? Creationism...? ;) But who knows, 5 years from now maybe I'll realize that my creationist phase was as much of a herd mindset as my romantic consumerist phase.

I was a kid in NYC in the late 50's early 60's. My sister and I bought a soft pretzel from street vendors for a nickel or 6 for a quarter. We also got a lunch from a pizza place of a slice and a coke for a quarter.
I feel the same way about Amazon. What tipped me over the line was a counterfeit pair of Ecco shoes. I mean, seriously? You cannot safely buy air or water filters, SD cards, batteries, and so much more, but you have to even now be super cautious about buying shoes from Amazon? Its just not worth the convenience. It feels almost like an abusive relationship.

I've started experimenting with Walmart to replace lots of the stuff I usually get from Amazon. Unsure about them yet.

Unless Amazon ditches the 3rd party sellers, I won't be back.
Where is the text input?
I’ve used one of their mobile apps to overlay a hiking map on the satellite map and (iirc) cache the tiles in the area. Very useful to have gps positioning on a map that may only be available on paper, pdf, etc.
So, as a professor of clinical psychology...

I think there's a lot of sound and fury and misunderstandings and stuff in this area. People try too hard to prove that they've shed Freud without realizing it's basically the same as Kahneman. Also different people are referring to different things when they discuss "consciousness" and "conscious processing" which confuses things.

There's some interesting papers emerging in recent years suggesting that two-system models ("subconcious," "fast," "intuitive" versus "slow," "conscious," "deliberate") have a lot of theoretical problems and can generally be explained by other models that don't have this structure.

At the same time, there's a lot of evidence that there's different types of processing, or processing of different kinds of content, and that people are not always good at verbalizing their state. The analogy I always like to use is visual versus verbal processing: some visual content you can reason about, but have a hard time putting into words, or vice versa. If you were looking for someone at a huge wedding I was at, and I wanted to know if they were there, it's a lot more efficient to show you pictures of that person than to ask you to verbally describe them. This is different types of processing.

I suspect there's something analogous for other types of processing, such as emotional, interoceptive processing, etc.

This is different in a lot of ways from some of what the article is referring to, about subconcious problem solving, but then again the article deliberately conflates the two when talking about, e.g., psychotherapy. The flash of insight of a mathematician and a psychotherapy client are not the same flashes necessarily (although they might be). Maybe neither requires "subconcious" processing. But it is possible they involve nonverbal processing, and also possible that verbal processing is differentially associated with other types of processing.

It's also a mistake to assume that verbal reports of people should be treated as "inner world reporters." What I mean is that there's a difference between asking someone if they are currently hateful, and expecting an accurate response, and asking them for their views on, say, some member of different sociocultural group, to which they respond with hateful speech. Both are self-sourced verbal behaviors, but we interpret them differently.

This is kind of a long-winded way of pointing out there's different things being referred to as "subconcious" (I haven't even gotten into dreams and sleep-arousal states). Saying that one thing can be explained differently doesn't necessarily mean the other thing should be explained the same way. "Consciousness" and "conscious" have become so broadly used that they're close to meaningless because they can mean so many different things.
> Almost as if becoming a parent is very difficult and gives you enlightenment that can be found in no other way.

You got it!

Now, the "talking down to" is annoying. But if it's about non-parents telling parents about how easy life should be, and parents replying along the lines of "fool, no." it's absolutely warranted.
I used tuplespaces to implement a poor man's distributed computing for Matlab back in 2009 or so.

It would simply put Matlab code and parameters in a tuple, a worker would pick it up, compute, and put the results back. Used it to distribute the heavy function evaluation in a genetic optimization.

It was very easy and trouble free..

Edit: mixed up the implementations, I used TSpaces by IBM http://www.almaden.ibm.com/cs/TSpaces/Version3/ClientProgrGu...
>that indentation only would be sufficient to write many Lisp structures?

Lisp's syntax is just a textual representation of the internal abstract syntax tree, so you could represent it any number of ways: s-expressions, indentations, even something like json.

I think s-expressions were just the absolute simplest way to represent them with the smallest parser required. It's really really not much.
Yeah, had the exact same thoughts here. Using names like that is just asking for trouble.
I am on my phone. This is not mobile friendly.
Probably true, but also ridiculous.
Let's be honest, who is actually willing to take the time and effort to read the exact same news from every possible news source to determine the legatimacy of all of the articles' claims, "facts", and opinions. What these kids are likely doing is spreading themselves out, covering all of the sources, and coming back together to discuss them; better than reading one news source, but also worse than reading all of them. At least that's the perspective that I get from the author's writting.

Judging by the handles of these accounts it wouldn't surprise me with kids only followed accounts that aligned with their current beliefs which may end up leading to the echo chamber you previously mentioned (however I must disagree that it's not the direct copy and pasting that makes it an echo chamber, its the copy and pasting of ideas). But also because of the online and pseudonymous nature of the internet it also wouldn't surprise me if people also joined communities that didn't align with their beliefs just to experiment with them. Perhaps even engage in more civilized debates on Instagram than in /r/the_donald.

But also as an occasional user of Instagram I find it weird for them to even be having long winded debates on the app. It was designed to be a photosharing app with comments, not a place for discussion threads. But maybe I'm too old now ‍️
Honestly in this case; it's somewhat true. Picture a world where you have ~no control of your daily life. You wake up when you hear the screaming in the monitor. You completely structure every non-work hour around 3 hour blocks of potted plants eat/sleep/shit/nap cycles with periods of incredible stress (and uh.. joy) sprinkled liberally through (Holy crap, was that red in the horrible poop running down my leg? Oh we gave him radish, whew.)

I'm being a little facetious here, but i'm just saying that everyones life situation is different. As a relatively new parent, In that situation, I can see it being incredibly hard to simply 'relax' at home. More than anything you'll finally have time to notice the liquified pees that has hardened on the ceiling than actually relax. When i was in my 20s every vacation was 2 weeks of Hostels and hikes, but we are all in different life situations and that doens't make one persons opinion of a 'vacation' more correct than anothers.
