Impressive.

I love my T25; it's the best laptop I've had since T420s (still have 2-3 of those around - love how modular they are, even with their slim size, with an upgraded 256GB SSD + 2TB HDD, 16GB of RAM, and still quite lightweight plus the best keyboard ever), and absolutely brilliant compared to abominations like the '40 series which removed the trackpoint buttons (the only time I've ever witnessed a senior security architect literally and repeatedly slam their laptop against the desk in frustration!).
Like many fellow nerds or roadwarriors, the little red nub / trackpoint, and decent standard keyboard, are "conditions of employment" for me - I spend too much time on a laptop to chase my own tail with a trackpad [yes it's a low barrier of entry, but it's positively painful to watch my co-workers try to navigate with it, all the while they espouse "but it's so easy!"], or a non-standard home row layout :(

I do agree however that screen is at best "Meh" - I do a lot of photography processing and the T25 is just not an option. Certainly I wouldn't mind having the better CPU and GPU from newer generations... but I don't think I would compromise reliability, take the risk, or sacrifice the time that this honourable fellow nerd has -- my hat is off to them! :-)

I just hope that the speed at which T25 was sold out, even at a clearly inflated price, will demonstrate the demand. I agree with the author T25 wasn't so much "retro" as "the one good laptop in that generation".
The volt was ~20-23k all in. I do think GM did a snafu by not advertising the fact you get State & Fed tax credits, and unlike tesla the price is negotiable.
I find 80,000 hours to be an interesting website. It has useful information for reflection and critical thinking.
I will strongly second Bouncer. It's an amazing app for keeping permissions in line on my phone. It's also a shame I rarely have to open the app itself because Sam Ruston is a master of clean UIs.
Is that why discord uses more memory than my chrome browser? ;)
Wouldn't that loophole work on all DNS-based blockers/black-holes on any platform, namely Pi-hole (and the hosts file for that matter)?

There's 'meat' that we eat, and 'meat' as in dead animal. We've got quite good in the west at separating the 2.

I don't think steak and other cuts of meat are going anywhere that quickly. But mince, 'chicken' breast, nuggets, sausages, that kind of stuff, I can see switching fairly quickly if there was a decent, cost effective alternative.

That thing you said, that was the context we needed. Thanks! :)
I’ve interviewed and worked at several start-ups, and also conducted dozens of interviews at all the start-ups I worked for, and all of them involved whiteboard puzzles (despite my objections). Meanwhile, I have many friends who have worked across many dozen start-ups over the past 15 years, and all of them report the same whiteboard puzzle culture with zero exceptions. Additionally, it is ubiquitously discussed on Hacker News that this is a known property of start-up culture and is mentioned directly as an interview step in many posting in the Hacker News monthly Who is Hiring thread.

The PPC970 derived processor in the Xbox 360 was also big endian only; the PowerPC port required CPUs that could be switched to (and run in) little endian mode.
Nice. How about fixing the client side by, you know, doing a native client?
I'm fairly sure that the volt is more reliable and requires less maitenance than teslas & many other gas cars.

Its a very reliable car.

I use a high-end System76 for work (~10+hrs a day) and love it. The only problem seems to be multi-monitor support. The screens go into strange resolutions. They flick on and off.

I've never had strange issues on other system with 2 or 3 monitor support (currently do this at home w/ a Lenovo + 3 monitors and with my wife w/ a MBP + 3 monitors.)

Since Debian is not built with a commercial interest (Canonical is a corporation at the end), the OS doesn't feel like a "freemium product".

As a person who uses Debian for a long time, and Ubuntu for throw-away VMs; Debian feels more "pure" from a system perspective, and it's not just skin deep.

Debian is set-up to be a leaner OS out of the box. Everything is within reach, and deeply configurable from command line. Desktop environments are add-ons to the system, not integrated (even in desktop versions). I don't find surprising choices or hard to reach configuration stuff in Debian.

Even though derived from Debian, Ubuntu "standard" comes with packages from Amazon, et. al., and sends analytics. This is not something that I like. Also, when I install Ubuntu server, I get subtle ads of "Canonical Landscape" and their paid offerings. This signals me that I'm using a freemium product, and as a user, I'm not their primary focus.

Debian is of course sponsored by a lot of corporations, but at the end they are independent and they do as they wish at the end. I'm part of the process, and can talk with devs, and my bug reports and commits are not pre-filtered with "commercial" interests before even discussed.

These are my feelings and experiences though. YMMV.
Are people downvoting because they think you’re being heartless? Is this not a valid concern that businesses have to deal with even in the midst of dealing with the tragic loss of life?
i have this too! interesting to see im not alone. its gotten me into lots of trouble but i still think of it as a strength (for one thing friends trust me, even though they cant trust me with secrets hah)
Public comment is meant to surface arguments to be taken into account to guide policy. As such, having 1 or 10 million people make the exact same argument in the same words doesn't change anything.
I don't disagree but their rate of innovation is rather slow because it isn't something their survival depends on.

It's noisy and distracting when it's taking place ten feet away from your open plan workspace.
The other big problem is that start-ups will sweet talk you regarding freedom to choose tooling, getting greater responsibility, etc., but none of that is enforceable and subject to change on a whim.

You’ll go in believing you traded off some salary in order to get freedom or seniority you wouldn’t get at a traditional company, but it’s just a big lie. “Flexibility” will quickly give way to a bastardized “wear many hats” failure mode where you are being grinded into a burnout by supporting a bunch of shitty tooling with no capacity to hire people to handle the workload. You’ll quickly find that growth start-ups == nobody gives a shit about craft or even basic maintenance to keep a product healthy, they just want a small number of overqualified, underpaid people to absorb that headache on a permanent triage basis like employees are band-aids to constantly stop the bleeding.
It’s not, in this case.

That was a great video. Just run everything in parallel. And make sure you get decent string.
I don't think GP is agreeing with it, or that it requires "humble self reflection": the Twitter thing made Reddit's front page (which is seen by many more people than the CBS and HN combined, and is incidentally where I first heard about it as well).

You can step off that high horse now.

What if a lie would save a person?
Lego is a company with name and patents. Other products purporting to be "Lego" while not produced by the company named Lego are counterfeit according to EU law.

I understand Lego seems expensive and that might have something to do with the sticker price dictated by the appeal the blocks have to the buyers and also quality control the company has in place to make sure everything is durable and fits perfectly. I have 30 year old blocks and new ones and everything snaps together predictably and tightly. I also haven't noticed any of the bricks get brittle over time. I fully expect my grandchildren to keep playing with the blocks I played with as a child.

The fact that blocks are getting constant use over many, many years makes them actually very cheap compared to other toys that frequently get broken in hours or days and get quickly forgotten. My kids 3 and 5 spend large part of their time playing Lego which makes me not regret the hefty price of the blocks.

The sticker price is bad way of deciding whether the toy is cheap or expensive. Is $1000 toy that will be constant source of enjoyment and creative education over many years (and possibly your grandchildren) an expensive one compared to $30 toy that will offer no educational value, will only make loud repetitive noises and get broken in couple of hours and quickly forgotten? I don't think so.

There are other formats of blocks that are much cheaper and do not purport to be Lego-interchangeable. Just use those if you are concerned with costs.
I think you’re very wrong.

Vegans/Vegetarians are still sneered at in the US. Any non major city/college town in the South/Midwest is still dominated by meat and the associated culture.

Thanksgiving alone is a nearly insurmountable hurdle. “Tofurky” is still a gross joke to most people.

You and PG are both vastly underestimating the emotional attachment people have to their current way of life.
I do know 3 people on board died, and yes that's tragic. But is there a need to comment to say and repeat it again and again? This is really the fake, superficial side of social media I hate.
The disaster planning and recovery angle seemed on point to me on HN. This is not Facebook or Reddit...
I'm pretty sure the "hatred" towards vegans and vegetarians isn't actually hatred, but defensiveness. I think most meat-eaters wouldn't care about veganism and vegetarianism at all if there weren't so many vegans and vegetarians trying to moralize to the rest of world how they ought to be eating.

I'm curious if the value of dishonesty has increased as police forces and their efficiencies have increased. In times past if somebody felt sufficiently screwed, there was a chance for quite severe consequences. People were armed, detective work was primitive, and local legal systems had a defacto defense of 'he deserved it.'

But today you can screw millions of people over and feel pretty safe about it. People are generally not armed, police work is of a much higher quality and a perceived quality even higher than that (CSI effect [1]), and criminal courts don't tend to consider justifiability except in an extremely narrow set of situations such as self defense.

It means that, in practice, the worst consequence you can ever expect to face for a bad action is the legal consequence for such. And even if everybody 'knows' you did it, so long as you can pose any sort of a defense to offer reasonable doubt you stand a pretty decent chance of getting off. And highly paid lawyers, alongside a convoluted and ever more esoteric legal system, tend to be pretty good at doing just that.

I'm not making a value judgement on systems of past or present. I simply find unintended consequences remarkably interesting. A reasonable argument that better police forces and improved legal systems could somehow drive dishonest and unlawful behavior would rank pretty high up there on something nobody would ever intend.

I had a roommate that was frustrated by a startup who left for Google. Once I heard him talking numbers I was shocked! Also using Blind (of all places) for comp data was eye opening.

Ultimately though you have to find out for yourself. For me, I found out I was leaving $90k/year on the table. I love startups, but I don’t know if I love them that much.
This is from 2013: https://keithclark.co.uk/articles/creating-3d-worlds-with-ht...

I remember seeing his old one in 2012 and spending an 8 hour plane ride with a bottle of vodka and a laptop trying to recreate the windows maze screensaver the same way. (Needless to say, the vodka was the only winner)
This is not a valid concern. The cost of refunding all the packages will be trivial compared to the cost of the plane, Amazon will apologize to the customers and refund or offer replacement, no special contingency plan needed.

When I was in my twenties, I realized it was easier to get laid by being an asshole, so I did just that.

After a while, it hit me: this strategy made me deeply unhappy.

With time I observed a lot my mental process, mood and behavior, and I noticed that things like being rude, cheating, being selfish, etc. while paying off on the short run, were affecting my long time happiness.

Apparently I was not made for that.

Lying, is one of those things. I can lie. I'm actually a very good lier, and a decent actor.

But I keep it in check, doing it mostly because humans tolerate badly total honesty, or sometime because I'm weak. Otherwise I avoid it, not for moral reason, be because somehow, I find it strongly unsatisfying. It's not even a judgemental voice in my head stating that it's wrong. It just feels like writting with the left hand with a boxing glove: I can do it with training but it's just not the experience I wish for.

I met many people sharing the same experience, but I can't say everybody feels like this.

However, it seems a damn good reason to be honest, even when it doesn't pay.
To me it just seems like the clearest indication of a bubble in Silicon Valley in particular, and the Bay Area in general. Even putting aside emotional attachment, people actually enjoy the taste of meat and don’t see a pressing reason to stop. Aside from some YouTube hype, I’ve never met anyone offline who thinks the various meat subsitutes are remotely like the real thing.

Then again I remember when Soylent was “the big thing that everyone was going to get into” in tech circles. I tried to explain that it just didn’t appeal to 99% of people, and revolted many of them. Fortunately reality does seem to seep through eventually. When it comes down to it, “save the earth” arguments aimed at something other than energy generation, shipping, industry, and transportation are too easy to shoot down.
Amen! Preach it loud! Why would you accept less pay to work for sociopaths likely to exploit your talents.

Looks good, I don't know if lighting is pre baked or what but I was surprised. EDIT: Site does mention lightmaps.

Running on Chrome on Android on a Pixel XL I did encounter the following:

* Freelook camera allowed for too fast of movement, the engine struggled to keep up. Panning back to polys that were in view less than a second before reveals that they've been unloaded the instant I looked away. This allowed me to see through walls to polys that should have been fully occluded and would have been much safer to cull. What was rendered would only seem to update if I moved either stick, and so after I started to have issues I never managed to have a correctly rendered frame again. Loading missing polys would mean bringing more unloaded polys into view. Seems like one of those bugs where I would believe it took 5 seconds or 50 hours of work to resolve.

* I did start to notice the vertical seams on the barrels on my second time through, this time with the automatic camera mode. Once I noticed them, I wasn't able to stop, it was very distracting.

EDIT: I went back in to confirm, the mobile control version does not show vertical barrel seams, while the auto camera version does. Different builds for each perhaps?
Granted, citations were needed for the post you're hammering. (I can't find anything online either way, re sleep loss in this accident.) But the author might not be speculating about the sleep loss, insiders sometimes comment here, in which case there won't be citations.

That sleep loss contributes to accidents and is therefore relevant to the discussion (if true) is in no way speculative:

I think you’re right that they need to be more affordable, and I think they will be as the market grows.
He shows an example of indirection without abstraction, then blames abstraction. His point isn't wrong, the problem is that he's confusing abstraction with any form of indirection. He claims that abstractions increase cognitive load when in fact the opposite is true. Bad abstractions and indirection without abstraction increase cognitive load.

I agree with him that abstractions should be crafted carefully, but not because abstractions are categorically bad. If he thinks abstraction is so bad, why does he write software at all? Software is extremely abstract, even assembly language is an abstraction of what the CPU does. Human language is abstract too: we can talk about trees without having to consider any specific tree.

Abstraction is a fundamental building block of human civilization. Of course, he doesn't actually believe that abstractions are bad. It would be nice if he differentiated between good abstraction and bad abstraction.

On a side note: I take issue with his criticism of mocking. Good abstractions are easily mocked and make the code base easier to understand because you don't have to consider every detail of the application at the same time. On the other hand, mocking concrete objects,[0] rather than abstract roles, definitely complicates things.

That's the million dollar question.

What's the alternative to declaring our UI using pseudo-html elements and string-matching on css class proxies from the currently-in-favour CSS framework which sits on top of the javascript framework of the moment which, after going through several transpilation steps to become plain old javascript, then sits on the client manipulating a shadow-DOM, to finally render plain old html?

No idea. Hopefully some nice solutions will arise from other languages which compile to wasm - I would expect all the major players to be looking at coming up with something to that effect now that the world seems ready for Silverlight 2.0 and everyone loves writing frameworks.[1]

Until then, any solution will unfortunately probably involve adding yet another level to the house of cards, maybe one which compiles down to buefy or the Vue bootstrap components..

[1] yeah, I see the irony in that it's just another stack which will probably be just as insane in many ways, but at least it will compile in less than 5mins.
For those unfamiliar (like myself), what is this?
Hey can I pay you to do this to my T25? Serious.
Total loss of shipment is a valid concern in the supply chain and transport industries...

Remember also that the total loss of the plane impacts more that this single flight. Like airlines, I am sure it had an utilisation schedule, and now it's gone so they'll have to account for that.

That's why they do have contingency plans... And that's why they develop them with a cool head. Because when disaster strikes people tend to get emotional.

Edit: Wikipedia says that Amazon Air operates 39 planes. Sudden loss of one has to have an impact that has to be planned.
Seitan and tempeh are by far the tastiest "substitute meats" because they don't really try to morph into a "nugget" or a "burger" but just show what that plant protein is like at its best
I can definitely agree that Discord is a fantastic chat experience. I use both IRC and Discord, and I think Discord (if only slightly) takes the cake.

Discord has actually been using workers since before they were available to the general public. They've been using them mainly for edge caching games for the store, A/B, and promotion of clients to different testing environments.
It's the first cargo plane crash with fatalities in 6 years. [0] Since this type of aircraft also carries passengers it's big news.

Commercial air travel in the US has a pretty enviable track record. As far as I am aware, outside of the fluke accident that killed one passenger last year when a piece of the engine went through the fuselage, the last fatalities were in 2009, Colgan Air Flight 3407. [1]

> Cocktail edit distance is a bit different - primarily because order doesn’t matter. It’s just set difference, or set distance.

Well, no, quantity matters for cocktails, which puts it in the opposite direction of set distance from a comparison where only order matters in terms of complexity.
The reason why the homeless and junkies are in SF are because of the wealth, and the good support and benefits that exist for homeless people here. There's no borders in SF, so the nation's homeless will flock here because the police don't harass them as much, and they can get a lot of easy money from tourists/petty crime on the local rich people. So the homeless problem isn't an SF problem as it is is an American problem, and SF's one of the few places that doesn't kick them out again.
You're right, but meat will go up in price, and I think rich people aren't as stubborn when comes to sticking with class symbols that become unfashionable and stigmatized. I think high-quality meat will be like cigars, a former status symbol that a few eccentric people stick with for personal reasons but whose connection to opulence is stuck in the past.

With fashion turning against it and most people sticking to mass-produced food for economic resaons, there will be a huge decline over the next generation or two. People in rural areas will be able to raise their own animals, but it will be forced underground as a moral outrage like cockfighting is today.
We think from the moment we're born to the moment we die, whether it is conscious or not. There is a false premise in this thread that states staring idly at a phone screen means there are no other thoughts going through your head.

Being deep in thought doesn't transport you into higher plane of existence. You still need somewhere to fix your eyes so you don't look like a lunatic on a packed commuter train where people are apparently judging your aptitude based upon where you're gazing.

That seems to fit exactly what I said:

> Start ups will give a chance to junior with a weak resume if he/she can demonstrate skills.

They don't hire you on a resume, you need to demonstrate skills. Wether it's a good way to do so is another matter.

I had interviews with startup not even asking for my resume, or testing my skills. But I never had a startup getting me through many hoops in the hiring process. 4 steps over a few months was the max, while FAANGs are known for using more than 10 steps, dispatched over as long as a year.
