Ah yeah I forgot that your strategy revolved around Chrome due to the Yubi keys. Each browser offers a critical feature: cross device password management vs. easy hardware 2FA. I have a feeling Apple sees their iOS devices as Yubi keys and Google doesn't want chrome reading/writing to a 3rd party keychain. Not a great situation.
I disagree; I believe burnout comes when labor isn't followed by expected reward, you learn to associate labor with negativity. I haven't burned out in about six years; and one thing is that taking a break after major stress could be exact the worst thing you can do. Take breaks at predetermined time points that are required to happen regardless of your labor situation.

Edit: oh I see now your suggestion is to craft an invariant as reward for your labor after a specific period of expected stress whether or not it's successful. That's probably not a bad choice, as long as the choice to go on a break precedes the stressful period

There's a near identical tale behind scurvy. Scurvy, most of everybody now knows, is caused simply by a deficiency of vitamin C. But this is something that took thousands of years to grasp, with millions of people falling victim to it in the interim. During the age of sail losing large chunks of your crew, largely due to scurvy, was just part of life. Part of the reason the cure was so difficult to discover is because it sounds folksy or homeopathic. As scurvy is caused by a lack of vitamin C, a simple way of preventing it is eating fresh fruits or meats.

Imagine somebody told you you could prevent some terrible and frequently fatal disease, that's spread worldwide, by eating limes. And this was already well within the age of formalized science and medicine. This was also further confounded by the fact that the vitamin content of things such as lemon juice degrades over time in storage, and even more rapidly in certain types of storage. And so some scientific experiments to test its effectiveness were inadvertently hamstringing themselves. It's made even more fun by the fact that humans need external sources of vitamin c while some common lab animals such as mice and rats do not - and internally make their own. You can withhold external vitamin C from a mouse for years and you'll never see scurvy.

Its ironic that I think this particular tale has slowly been lost to many in society, even though we have so many direct references to it. For instance the slang for a Brit as a limey came from the fact that the British Navy was the first to start dosing their sailors with lime, with tremendously positive affects to show for it. Maybe the biggest one is vitamin C itself. Vitamin C is now called ascorbic acid. But when it was first discovered it was known as hexuronic acid. So huge was the effect of scurvy it was renamed for its discovered anti-scorbutic (against scurvy) effect. Ascorbic was just a shortening of anti-scorbutic. And this happened as recently as the 1930s!
Ask HN: List of tools (GUI, natural language) that generate code
I am specifically thinking of programming tools that allow kids (or even adults) to string together blocks in a GUI or some natural language way that can then be used to emit JavaScript, Python etc.

Isn’t it also using 32 bit pointers on 64 bit machines? That should also improve performance a bit.

It’s a shame that the x32 ABI is almost abandoned nowadays, it has some modest improvements for applications that don’t need that much memory.

I've found that articles, even those that hit the front page, vary widely in quality, and the same is true for comments.

Quick side note.

Japanese army and navy in WW2 were famously, well how should I say this, antagonistic against each other. They didn't share information with each other. Army even had own aircraft carriers to transport planes to distant islands. They couldn't or didn't want to rely on the Japanese navy.

So by this logic all parents of young children are more susceptible to “unethical and deviant” behaviour? I'm not convinced.
The traditional medicine has worked in the past probably won't work in the future. The reason is that human has been travel a lot, and our fixed diet has changed. Traditional medicine relies heavily on the local environment, local produce and work on local people. These assumption is not true any more. Not only I see the kind of produce grow locally has changed, also the people are different. To my understanding of Chinese medicine, the treatment is personalized. It is not the medicine treating people, it is the doctor. He has a brain full of local knowledge, what water you drink, what season is now, what's going on in your village. These thing does not exist in current culture. Personalized medicine will take its place however. We can then treat people with minimal side-effect.
Advertisements eat resources while loading and once that is done they do not keep refreshing themselves to eat more resources.

That is no longer true - on several sites (eg. Ars Technica), ads are loaded and refreshed after a short period.

I haven't yet seen anything close to as resource-intensive as a cryptominer yet... in terms of CPU. In terms of bandwidth, I would not be surprised if most ads consume more than cryptominers.
I'll believe it when I see a video of the “final version”.

For the uninitiated: W^X is feature of memory pages being either writeable xor executable, so never both. This works for many applications but trips up applications which JIT, like most Java or JavaScript runtimes.

I've been hammering this into people's heads for over a decade now. Anything you put public is not "personal data".

As privacy and floss advocate "personal data" just makes absolutely zero sense. There's private data and public data. Private data is your passwords and stuff not exposed to public internet - everything else is public data and it's no longer "yours" unless it's copyrightable content.

From pollen to practical typography to his fonts and back to racket lessons.

Not to be callous, but sounds like you ended up on a team with a crappy management chain and bad insulation from your manager?

I know it's a behavior that definitely happens, but - and admittedly, this is pretty rare - there are teams that exist out there where you do have those freedoms. Out of the 3 teams I've been in so far in industry, I'd say 2.5 of them have had that -- where the higher ups don't really interfere with what you're doing as long as you're intelligent about not going completely off kilter.

> even startups paying $30,000 work for me

Value yourself and your expertise more. You should expect 2x or 3x the mentioned amount from any respectable company, or even more if it's a position requiring expert-level knowledge. You being from a third world country should not affect your paycheck. If you're the same, or better, compared to someone in the SV, you should both be valued equally.

You can get a better paying job, keep the same lifestyle, and save the extra cash so you can afford longer breaks while you work on your stuff, or to invest it, so you have additional cash flow.

The metric seems misleading, as it is one-sided. It only checks how many clusters we look through, but not how much of the unnecessary data one needs to examine.

Most indices optimize the amount of data that does not need to be browsed when querying, this index seems to maximize the amount of data that needs to be looked in a linear part of the processing.

When considered from a purely carbon reduction POV, long range EV like Tesla are actually worse than short range EV+ICE like Volt, Prius Prime, etc. Some reasons:

* A PHEV with good EV range (such as 40+miles) will cover most commutes. Also most car trips are short range (such as going to the grocery stors). These could all be pure EV miles.

* There is limited worldwide capacity for battery production and battery price is still high. The amount of batteries in a single Tesla could be used for 10 PHEV cars.

Perfect is the enemy of good. If a PHEV can get most of its miles as EV and an occasional trip using ICE, the effect on carbon reduction is almost as good as a pure EV with much fewer battery costs. Also the weaknesses of batteries (such as long charge time compared to filling a gas tank) don't matter for a PHEV. And it's a great fit for the current state of EV charging infrastructure. A level 1 charger (regular 120 volt plug) can charge a typical PHEV car from empty to full overnight. It would be much simpler and less costly to get regular 120 volt plugs installed into all parking spots in an apartment compared to trying to get level 2 (240volt) plugs.
I dream of a hybrid or all-electric pickup truck. The geography+climate around my house, in combination with the types of hobby work I do (frequent hauling of logs and stone) make owning anything smaller than a crossover SUV foolish, and even those won't be able to get out of the driveway some days in winter. In short, a 4 wheel drive + good ground clearance is a must, and hauling capacity is a great bonus.

Alas, new pickup trucks that are worth owning for my needs are typically in the $45-60k+ range, and I don't have high hopes that hybrid or all-electric will be kind to the sticker price either.
I honestly don't understand how we're supposed to operate being monitored 24/7. The idea that any information that contains a personal, social or corporate advantage is likely going to go through an electronic device attached to FAANG, is 1984 on steroids. FAANG + MS has the information to out-compete, out-advantage anybody at anytime.

The only reality left is radical vulnerability. If google knows I was caught DUI one night 6 months ago because I was a couple percent over the limit driving home from a nice party, then everybody has to know. I have no choice but to tell the truth all the time, lest exposure be my downfall. This applies to every single bit of data gathered and every bit of information gathered from the analysis of that data.

There is a defcon talk that describes a German judge that jacked off to porn in chambers nearly every day and during times he really shouldn't be. No-one in his social or work life knew or was negatively effected. But these defcon engineers were able to deanonymize his data and reveal his behaviour. This applies to everybody now. Radical vulnerability is the only thing we have left to maintain social order. It's hell for those that want to minimize vulnerability for the sake of extreme competence.

People in positions of power or capital can access that information and I gain no social security or social safety from having secrets anymore.

one fundamental issue with grpc seems to be that every request for a given service ends up either creating a thread or use an existing one from a pool-of-threads. ofcourse, you cannot limit the number of threads because that will lead to deadlocks.

i _suspect_ for google-scale it should all be fine, where available cpu's are essentially limitless, and consistency of data gets handled f.e. due to multiple updates etc. at a different layer.

writing safe, performant, multi-threaded code in presence of signals/exceptions etc. is non-trivial regardless of how your 'frontend' looks like. async-grpc is quite unwieldy imho.

i have heard folks trying grpc out on cpu-horsepower-starved devices f.e. wireless-base-stations etc. and running into aforementioned issues.
