Jeff and Subutai have been on this hobby horse for a very long time. They don't have much to show for it, and many of their ideas are controversial even within neuroscience (for example, some think that their venerated "cortical columns" are structures without meaningful functions). It is very easy to bet against them given the fact that nothing much has happened, and "theories" about the brain are a dime-a-dozen. I'm glad that they have the gumption to go all-in on these ideas, but I'm not expecting anything earth shattering anytime soon.
There were attempts to replace IRC with more modern (back in those days ...) architecures. For instance jabber/xmpp. But between IRC and commercial alternatives it hardly played a role. (I see more usage of commercial jabber extensions in Cisco than jabber itself these days)
It gives you a limited amount of control of a second app while you have another one one fullscreen.

For example: You can use Quicktime to record yourself speaking to a set of PowerPoint slides, and then use the touchbar to end the recording without needing to exit the slideshow (leaving an ugly view of your desktop that you'd have to edit out with postprocessing afterwards).
Science is not always available to repel superstition. Nutrition is the convenient thing to fixate on, but the body is far more complex and is essential to understand. Consider that the dangers of putting petrol in a diesel engine is not explained by understanding the fuel alone. It doesn't help that our bodies vary greatly compared to the number of engine models.

We should be free to dismiss magic as imaginative whimsy without hard science. "Not uh" is a valid counter argument.

i think a key thing to remember is the manufacturing/fabrication tech. available when the F1 engines where built. Like I said, the welds on it are from a guy with a welder, no CAD/CAM, no robots, no simulation, just some guys with some machine tools, paper, and a shop.

Another thing, if you ever get the chance to visit the Johnson Space Center you can look at some of the control panels and tech. they used. Man, I wouldn't trust a trip to Home Depot and back using that tech and they said, "screw it we're riding this to the moon".

edit: there's a youtube out there of a project to rebuild part of an F1 engine. I think they conclude that a complete F1 can't be built today because a lot of the hand fitting and "tricks of the trade" were never written and down and modern fabrication techniques can't replicate the shape of certain F1 parts. ...something like that
Transit can be made better by adding more people. The more people who take transit the more routes transit can afford, the more people who can. The cycle re-enforces itself. However this only works when there are enough people in the first place. So adding density makes transit work.
I really don't understand why we can't also allow bodega-type stores at least on the ends of residential streets.

Nobody is going to drive ten miles to go to your local bodega. It's not going to increase traffic. You're not going to need more parking. You can even make it illegal to sell cigarettes and alcohol entirely there.

The (Developer’s) Growth Model
The biggest problem I’ve found with Agile hasn’t necessarily been Agile itself but the lack of buy-in from company leadership. Even when we’ve had professional Agile trainers come in and tell them that not only must they embrace it for us to be successful, but they themselves must go through the training. They usually waive it off as something they’ll get to eventually. Almost immediately we wind up with a bastardized version of Agile that basically doesn’t work because the leadership doesn’t understand why we “can’t just” do something.

I was talking about scientists who switched from science to
writing software as a product for whatever reason. They surely produce good docs (properly documenting their work is the very basis of being scientist).

As for writing imperative code in C/C++/Whatever other language they seem to choose: nothing is wrong with that.
Digital index cards can be kept closer (on your phone, in your pocket, always), and arguably lower friction too, no? And plain text is pretty flexible too. IDK, I just thought the concept was strange - but if it works for you, that's great!
It really feels like they need to allow a list of `noindex` pages in the robots.txt then...
I recommend you all check the book "Flow: The Psychology of Optimal Experience". Probably mentioned already a ton of times before in HN, but it shows how to achieve the so called "Flow" state in any activity that you do, even in mundane jobs like a factory line guy working in quality assurance or something related (can't remember exactly), how he actually enjoyed that "crappy job" and how he excelled others in their same position.

I want to be able to carry a domain between IP addresses.

But to rephrase your argument in a way that does feel more convincing to me, maybe there aren't enough downsides to ever be more important than this one feature, or I would be registering random strings for my domains already, just to get rid of the effort of finding new names for things I'm building.

People near transit own less cars. They still own them I agree, but they do not own as many. When you don't have transit option you need enough cars for each driver, plus at least one backup. When you have transit options many get by with just one car which covers all the non-transit needs.
I would publish it immediately, after checking as best I could that it was actually a working solution. But here's the twist:

I would publish it in such a way that it would appear to have been released/solved by the worst person I didn't like; a world-known dictator or similar would be ideal. Nobody would believe it, but maybe their narcissism wouldn't let them not play along. It very well might screw their life over in ways unknown.

The uproar around the world would be very interesting to watch.

But I'd definitely make sure I wasn't connected in any way - you would likely have a target on your head (because if you could do that - what else could you know or do?)...
One possibility is if it's not about inherently "fast" or "slow" processes. Suppose all of the processes are doing very similar asynchronous or network I/O, and need the lock at roughly set wall-clock intervals. Say 100ms, to have numbers to play with.

In that case, you can dequeue something that's been waiting for 90ms and it will re-enqueue itself after another 10ms, or you can dequeue something that's been waiting for 10ms and it won't re-enqueue itself for another 90ms. In which case, FIFO would mean that processes are doing more of their waiting in the lock queue (and being woken up every time the lock changes hands), while LIFO or random order would put more of their wait time blocked on IO. Random wouldn't be as good as LIFO, but it wouldn't have nearly as high a risk of starvation.

Redis comes to my mind which is actively developed and can be considered one of the new projects that is powering lot of new stuffs ... Also SQlite, Postgres which are very actively developed and again being used in much of the newer stuffs either directly or indirectly ...

But in a way, you may be right ... all the critical new lower level programs like web servers are now mostly written in Go, Rust and C is not favourably considered for them ...
The biggest complaint I've heard in the midwest is related to noise.

One other valid complaint is they cast large shadows & shouldn't be built near a house where a giant rotating shadow will be flashing in windows.

Keeping window towers a distance from homes & reducing the noise would help increase the amount significantly.

I rarely hear the bird argument anymore.
> but the SEO people seem to trust these shady sites more.

It makes more sense when you realize that the SEO people (with a few exceptions) are usually pretty shady as well. You rarely hear them recommending that you write better content to get better results, it's always nonsense like "put nofollow on everything so your score doesn't leak".
Are you vulnerable to a SQL injection attack? Exploiting database with Sqlmap
Yep. Especially modern diesels are just a nightmare of incredibly complex systems all existing purely to keep the engine somewhat clean when it's cold - once it warms up(which can be as much as 10-20km in really cold climates, more than the commute for many people) it's fine, but keeping it efficient while cold is a huge challenge.
Regarding point 2, I don't know... the whole "I'm not better than anyone else" should be only part of your sentiment. If you think "I'm not better than anybody, including the least educated parcel of the populace, I don't have better ideas, better judgement, better views... well I guess then I sould go run for office", I doubt you'll be much good for the rest of society. You should be humble, and be able to truly check yourself when in a position of power. But the history of human societies is plagued with terrible beliefs and ideas about the world, and yes, better beliefs and ideas came about. We should hope that they continue to win over the bad ones.

>GitHub was acquired for $7.5B. That's pretty unicorny.

According to analysts, Github in 2018 was still losing money when Microsoft acquired them. This is another example of remote work enthusiasts inadvertently undermining their case. If the strategy is "use remote workforce for happier employees and it doesn't matter if you're bleeding money because one of the FAANG companies might swoop in to acquire you" -- you can see why that narrative is not convincing at all to business leaders!

This is the same issue as citing Gitlab's remote work culture while the CEO (Sid Sijbrandij) mentions they're not yet profitable. (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18443014)

Another example is highlighting Elastic's IPO with 700-employee distributed workforce: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18168423

Elastic has also been losing increasing amounts of money for the last 3 years (see their SEC 10-K filings) and has never had a profit since their IPO. They lost $109 million in 2019.

To be fair, it doesn't mean that financial losses should be blamed on remote work -- but you also can't use them as positive case studies either.

tldr: do not cite Gitlab/Github/Elastic as evidence of remote work "being a success" to convince skeptical business managers.

To re-iterate the issue: the Remote Work Movement still needs a slam-dunk-world-beating story of its success. They haven't gotten one yet that convinces skeptical business leaders to fully adopt it.

I think they were saying that electric cars are more expensive to buy. - the tax breaks aren't nearly as significant in the UK.
I have the subjective sense that the rate of massive, irreparable flops in software has gone down a lot. (Very anecdotally, the latest "permanent failure" on Wikipedia's list of major failed software projects is from 2014. That list is worth a read regardless.)

Projects still get cancelled, budgets and timelines get blown out, features and testing get compromised. But at least in dedicated software companies, it's pretty rare for something to get through 90% (or 150%) of its allotted development time and then be completely discarded as unsalvageable. (For technical reasons; market changes are a different beast.) Projects in technical crisis are either apparent sooner or have usable elements, rather than failing outright at the end of a waterfall.

Of course, there's a lot of room to debate what changed and why. If Agile led projects to fail sooner or less dramatically, that's still important, but less notable than if it changed them into successes. And a lot of technological advances have helped too; things that might have been outright failures as shrinkwrapped software can become late or overrun projects in the era of digital distribution.

Humpback whales have been known to protect other species (eg seals or gray whales) from orcas. Also, not all 'killer whales' are created equal: Some populations restrict their diet to fish and don't hunt mammals at all.

It's not impossible that some animals besides humans could be capable of moral reasoning at that level. On the flip side, let's hope intelligent life forms from an environment totally alien to us never arrive here and get a taste for human flesh...
And if you did go to the office, there's a good chance you'd get to the office only to find you need to work with people who are remote.
I've been playing it a lot lately. It is the most difficult, so long as you abstain from playing "missions" and don't install mods. But if you play the missions it becomes very easy. And the most popular gameplay mod is a mod to make the transit system easier.

Also simcity 4 isn't meant to be a 1:1 mapping from game to real city anyway. Most buildings in simcity4 can hold a multiple of what they would contain in real life; it is a model of a city, not a real city, after all. So it stands to reason that they could just cut out the parking lots for aesthetic purposes.

Bloody hell, that was one of the most uselessly long-winded essays I've ever read! Do you actually expect to find any fairies, gods, ghosts, successful sorcerers, etc, or not? Worse, the basic question is never even posed: why should we tie our conception of society and our meaning-making capacities, as applied to our own lives, to belief or disbelief in the supernatural?

After all, if the "supernatural" existed, it would just be more natural, more stuff with causal powers, which would therefore be intrinsically tied into the rest of the causal order of things.

Patches might happen, but don't hold your breath. It's at Microsoft's discretion. If they are asked why don't they do something about a new vulnerability on an old OS, they'll say they don't support it anymore, users should upgrade, and that will be that. (Did XP ever get Spectre or Meltdown patches?)

Maybe more importantly, third parties will notice that MS isn't supporting it and is telling people to upgrade, so third parties won't support old OSes anymore.
