>an era of more architectural diversity

We're already seeing this in machine learning. I used to follow the processor space fairly closely and I'd see various companies come out with designs that were specialized for some workload or other. The problem was that you could instead wait for a couple years and x86 would be just as fast.

You also have some other things going on like open source software, centralized computing in clouds, etc. that make having hardware that's optimized for some specific workload much more tenable.

In absence of leadership, the tool firms use to solve coordination problems is management. A leader from this perspective is simply a better manager. Better at all the tasks of coordinating human activity, reading when people are feeling down, better at inspiring them, better at breaking apart complex tasks into routine ones that the ICs can more easily understand.

But leaders are practically impossible to reliably hire at rates the business owner can realistically afford, and if the whole zeitgeist of business starts paying more for effective leadership, then that just makes the problem a hundred times worse.

Leadership isn't teachable, but management is. Learning management will teach you the rudimentary skills of coordinating people to accomplish a goal, but it won't by itself make you a leader.

Firms can hire more managers, that solves the problem, I call a team with more than one competent manager, 'well-managed'. But good managers, like good leaders, wind up getting overworked across projects and so they just miss things. A leader doesn't miss anything, they're laser focused on the overall business goals of the project.

Actually you can use simple CSS with styling extensions like Stylus to achieve similar effect.

}

If you want different color for different level of indent, just use attribute selector, like:

.ind img {
height: 100%;
border-right: 3px solid;
}
img[width="40"] {
border-color: red;
}
img[width="80"] {
border-color: blue;
}

I was pretty enamored of the reactive paradigm until I inherited my first big RX project. Whoof. The amount of stuff I needed to know in order to maintain it was just intense.

Nobody else liked it, either, so we slowly, over the course of a few months, replaced the reactive bits with more ad-hoc code. The end result was smaller, easier to read and modify, and more performant.
windowmaker has a different icon (although that could be changed) but more so the icon at the bottom to the left of the recycling bin, is fiend, an app that allowed you to put dock icons everywhere on the screen and supported virtual desktops of some form, if i remember correctly.

since windowmaker didn't implement the dock in the same way, porting fiend didn't make much sense. instead, it features a clip that includes desktop switching in its icon. the GWorkspace implemention for GNUstep also adds fiend features right in, and looks slightly different, so it is quite unlikely that this is anything but a genuine NeXTStep desktop.

in 1996 NeXTStep was still in active use and development and also available for intel PCs. (the last release was 1997. it was supported until 2002) (myself, i was using NeXT workstations until 2005)

> There's a sort of meme which is like a lecture on how dangerous the world 'really' is, often to justify or advocate a lack of compassion.

But on the other hand, compassion is not an absolute value either. Taken to extremes, it fosters individual weakness, hypersensitivity, emotionality. And, on a social level, degeneracy of all sorts - crime, mental disease, etc.

That's why ancient societies took pains to train their young men in the arts of war, long after it had ceased to be objectively necessary. The predatory instincts have a great deal of character-building value.
Apple doing an optimization focused update with iOS 12 is a breath of fresh air.

My iPad Pro 9.7" (one version old, came before the 10.5") drops frames in iOS 11's full screen blur transition animations. Before iOS 11 it was fine, but either the iOS team didn't test animations on anything but their brand new hardware, or they tested and didn't care if it ran smoothly.

Having one of the OS's most frequent animations choke on anything but the brand newest GPU in the $650+ model? Not a great look, especially with Apple's reputation for making devices that last a while.

Fingers crossed that iOS 12 fixes it.

That's a clozed-source knockoff of Anki. With SRS it's important that you choose a solution that will still be working in 5, 10, or even 20 years.

https://code.headmelted.com/ Has already done this but without extension support. Support for extensions requires adding content to the product.json beyond what the MIT licenses version contains. This content is traditionally proprietary, but the author of this repo managed to find an instance where it was mistakenly committed and is using that to justify it being MIT licensed now. Whether you agree with this is up to you I guess. I personally would object to using someone’s mistake to subvert their teams wishes.

And for either of these projects, I wouldn’t use their products without first verifying they are what they say they are. I’d do this by downloading the vscode repo and building directly from source then comparing. But at that point I have two of the same thing (hopefully), so not sure why this is needed in the first place.
Etsy's Hiring Video (2010)
It works in any modern browser that I'm aware of - it allows you to use the Address Bar/Omnibar to conduct a search by typing a keyword. For example, I can search Youtube by typing "y Daoko Fog" and it will search Youtube for "Daoko Fog" because the letter "y" is my keyboard for Youtube. You also don't need to use it just for searching - you can use it for quicker navigation since ultimately it is just swapping your text in for the spot in the keyword, you can have it set up like "news.ycombinator.com/%s" and type in "hn newest" or "hn show" or "hn news" to be taken to the respective pages.

In Firefox you can right click most any search bar and "Add a Keyword for this Search".

It used to be that in Chrome it was that easy as well, but now you need to edit a bookmark and it's a bit more involved OR you can add a "Search Engine" and customize the keywords in about:preferences#search

In mainstream browsers at least, I believe it is implemented as an additional field to any bookmark. You change the URL to have "%s" where the search term should go in the URL and then you update the Keyword field of the bookmark.

So, for example, a Youtube bookmark would look like "https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=%s"

Then when you type the keyword and search, the %s gets replaced with your search phrase. You would need to hardcode the -site: bits to have it always added to your search. You can even create multiple bookmarks that filter out different sites if you want.

iOS 12 is indeed faster, but it seems to be at a cost to increased battery usage. From my understanding, CPU is ramped up to maximum performance mode when needed, like launching applications and other demanding tasks. Then dialed back down when not needed. It could be just the normal beta battery usage issues, but mine gets hit hard.

It doesn't matter. Apple doesn't win in the end.

In the other Apple vs mound of rubble fight (Windows), Apple lost.

Android is doing the same thing. Android 4.0 was Windows 3.1 (first Android version to be "modern", IMO), Android 5.0 was Windows 95 (better UX). Android now just needs Windows XP to be stable enough (I'd argue Android 8.0 was that) and Windows 7 to cover the security aspects (most likely wide spread adoption of new Android permissions). But the writing is kind of on the wall, outside the US Android has majority market share and it's only going up.

> several dozen poorly-trained AI recommendation engines optimizing for variables and sample instance that the coders might care a lot more about than any specific user? Dang. I ended up in dystopia-land anyway. Sorry about that.

This is the scary part for me: 'AI' is just a means for organizations to dodge accountability for the systems they build because decision-makers don't understand what they're looking at and the people building the systems aren't incentivized to care, or are incentivized to optimize for things that are bad for society as a whole. This is the same hazard of capitalism in general, you don't actually need an AI for this to happen because it already has in many ways.

>The problem was that you could instead wait for a couple years and x86 would be just as fast.

This still holds for the majority of users. Only tier 1 dotcoms can run stuff on GPUs economically. For everybody else, just getting many times, possibly few magnitudes, more commodity x86 machine time still makes sense.

I always remember the saying of my ops unit head once I worked in an advertising network. It was something to the meaning of: "a new coder like you who can find a fancy algo to do thing A and B faster pays off in two years, but a 10 new servers will pay off in just 2 month"

And I am still convinced that fabs will continue mercilessly squeezing CMOS till the last drop of blood for at least a decade. There are tons and tons of avenues to make cells smaller, cooler, and more performant that don't involve further process down scaling or switching to a next gen semiconductor.

I really like the Indie Web stuff, and I think that their idea of using one's own website as a login is a great one. The problem is that one actually ends up using some third-party website (e.g. github.com) to run authentication for one — and generally via a fourth (indieauth.com). Adding two extraneous parties to an authentication seems pretty extraneous to me: rather, it'd be a good idea just to specify a way to run web sign-in entirely from one's own site.
As much as I think English needs spelling reform, I don't think a brand new alphabet is the answer.
