It means you don't have to deal with the kernel's calling conventions, which are architecture-specific and require inline assembly.
AFAIK they told Tesla to stop publishing their exact ranking of car safety, when they are only allowed to use a more vague "quantile" ranking of sort. Doesn't mean they lied about the ranking, just that they weren't supposed to share and use those detailed ratings for marketing purposes in the way they did.

Interesting post! It's almost exactly what I've found that has worked well for me. Putting in the three or four hours at the beginning of the process of learning something to find the best resources is essential.

That being said, I do think the importance of mastering one or two things should not be overstated, and was kind of ignored in your post. Let me elaborate: for me my deepest skill has been 3D modeling and rendering: it's been about six years of pretty consistent practice, doing motion graphics, general modeling, animation, color theory, and really just trying to absorb all the knowledge I can about this specific passion. This process has been super useful for a couple reasons, and kind of worked to snap me out of the "generalist" learning mindset. For example, I've found the learning curve over time for 3D modeling is pretty generalizable to other skills I learn: because I've sunk so much time into it, and have had to push through plateaus, and grind over hills, and realize when I'm just coasting, whenever I am learning other things, I recognize the emotion swing and know roughly where in the learning process I am. Similarly, the fluency I have with my 3D modeling tools (pretty much all the hotkeys burned into muscle memory) gives me something to strive for when learning other tools and skills. I know what fluency feels like now, and I know when I'm lacking in it.

For me though, the most important thing about pursuing mastery of one or two things instead of full generalization, is that it teaches you patience. Genuine patience. Something I feel is becoming a lost art in our modern time. Seeing how far you've come after six years of working at something, and then looking at your inspirations and seeing how far you still have to go, is a feeling that can either break you, and make you give up, (if you are impatient), or can help you, as you have the choice to just keep grinding away and choosing to be patient. 3D modeling and animation is a ten year (minimum) goal for me, and it's served as a wonderful learning experience for me in many, unforseeable ways.

To tie it back to your post, I take this "ten years" mentality to almost everything I choose to learn nowadays: I try to stay away from the fancy new frameworks and toys, and try to learn fundamental things that I can spend ten years learning and still have space to grow.
I think this, in some way, can be interpreted in a way favorable to the original parent's comment. Kids being stressed by climate change to the point that their feelings overwhelm all of their coping mechanisms is not an effective strategy for actually fixing the root cause.

Ideally, kids would develop, by trial and error, effective strategies for identifying solvable problems and dealing with them, and not being extremely negatively affected by (directly) unsolvable problems. It would be beneficial for society if people heard about climate change and thought, "Okay, that won't be good, so what are some things I can do in the short term and in the long term to make a positive impact?" The great thing about such an approach is that it's omni-applicable, such as when one's car breaks down on a long drive, etc.

Parents who constantly hover around their kids presumably interfere with this vital process, perhaps because these important lessons can only be discovered, not forcibly taught.

> and misery the news (Twitter) was bringing into my life.

That's because you were not getting news. You were getting social media. It amazes me that comments here don't distinguish between these. Facebook, twitter, google news, hackernews etc. are not news. They may all use or perhaps disseminate "news" but they are not sources of news.

When it comes to pricing the product watches and glasses are similar in many ways.

Companies can definitely reduce the price but the price is a status quo in those products.
It's not a sentiment of needing to be uber successful for the sake of being successful. It's the fact that not being highly successful often means you can't afford even a crappy home in your city, can't have kids, have a hard time justifying the expense of a vacation, can't pay off massive student loans, can't justify the cost to travel to your home town on holidays to see family, likely won't be able to retire early or even "on time", etc etc etc.

You need to be making way above average in at least 50% of the country to afford those things (yes, many people that can't afford those things still do them, but it will bite them in the ass later).

People like stability. People, on average, have less stability these days.

It's super great for exploitation though. Start companies people! Probably no better time, at least outside the tech industry, workers are cheap.

This indicates that entry to the US is not guaranteed by a visa:

Issuance of a visa does not guarantee entry to the United States. A visa simply indicates that a U.S. consular officer at an American embassy or consulate has reviewed the application and that officer has determined that the individual is eligible to enter the country for a specific purpose. The CBP Officer at the port-of-entry will conduct an inspection to determine if the individual is eligible for admission under U.S. immigration law.

If it's difficult, as opposed to unrealistic, then it's a good opportunity for a third party (or a google spin-off) to wholly dedicate itself to solving. Also, PageRank is easier to game because Google must stick to existing rules (eg: if it's on the web, Google is supposed to index it). When it comes to a service tied to a user account, the site operator has more agency to impose its own rules.

I think you and the parent commenter are coming at this from fundamentally different perspectives.

The parent commenter remembers a time when websites were server-rendered by default. The server would send down HTML, along with a small amount of CSS and JavaScript to style it and add interactivity. You didn't need an elaborate chain of compilers and bundlers and frameworks and chunkers to make sure you didn't ship several megs of dead code to the client; you just didn't ship several megs of dead code to the client. That's their baseline for web performance.

Your comment, on the other hand, seems to use the current giant-JavaScript-framework sites as the baseline for performance. And yeah, you can get a lot of cheap wins if you start from there. (For starters, you can break up your JavaScript execution into tiny slices so that, even if you're using 80% of a CPU core and draining the user's battery for no real reason, you're at least not blocking the browser UI thread.)

> Atheist, raised by atheist parents in France, being respectful in a cemetery is not about religious education.

Doesn't the burial itself have religious roots even when it's no longer administered by a church? Anecdotally, there has been a recent trend away from cemeteries altogether now that the religious reasoning isn't there, with people having there ashes scattered somewhere meaningful or kept with family.

> People who go there are most likely mourning. That's the last place where it is appropriate to bring kids playing.

The last "funeral" I went to was an ashes scattering at the beach, which is basically a huge playground with kids running around everywhere. It didn't detract from the mourning.

OMG you are describing my most recent visit to the Palo Alto Fry's. I needed some kind of USB cable, I don't remember exactly what it was. Nothing unusual, maybe an A to C, or an A to B Minor, or whatever.

I asked when I walked in and they said "yes, look in aisle Foo". No luck, so I asked there. "Oh, you should check aisle Bar".

Nothing there either, but the person in that aisle helpfully directed me to aisle Fizz. No luck there, but the person said "you might try aisle Buzz."

And there was yet one more aisle after that.

Yes, they had five different aisles with various selections of USB cables, many of them overlapping but a few different ones in each location.

In the end, I had no luck finding what I needed - and I'd really hoped to get it on the spot to use for a project that evening.

So I walked out a bit disappointed and spent two minutes on Amazon, ordered the exact cable I needed, and had it the next day.

But the exercise of walking around the store was worth it!
The consistent reposting and commenting about tree notation is tiring, especially when it has obvious flaws. As a simple example, this language requires you to label each node-type. A list is

list
- one
- two

instead of just

- one
- two

which is an obvious deficiency compared to markdown. This seems like a general problem with something like tree notation, maybe there's a way to fix it, but it isn't obvious. Why's this preferable?
"Then you have the flip side--a couple hundred people leave the theatre."

But those people don't leave a vacuum. They are replaced with air from outside, which is hotter than the cooled air inside. Sure, you need to set the thermostat to a lower temperature than desired before the movie starts. But, once everyone is has taken their seats, you can set it to 25C or whatever. When the people leave and the hot air from outside replaces them, the AC will turn off and there won't be anything to force the temperature down below 25C. Am I wrong?

I think the senator has a very narrow definition of innovation which for the great part has been about combining existing elements to create something "new". Viewed like this, there's innovation all over the place.

I do like some of the restrictions he advocates for, but I doubt they'll ever be anything more than talking points.

Even the perishables can be bought somewhat in bulk. My wife ends up chucking an appreciable amount of perishables so I have thought about the economics--and her approach is generally the right one. Much of what gets chucked came from a store with good produce sales on Wednesday only. If she ends up chucking 20% of it but paid only 30% of what it would be at the store closer to home she's still way ahead.

This is why I always advise glasses-wearing friends and families to buy glasses whenever they come visit Japan; prices are MUCH lower than in the US without the Luxottica tax.
That's an interesting way of looking at it, but I see it more like air travel. Consumers say they want a better product, but when they actually see the cost, they pick basic economy. And no one who's flown before in the US is trusting that the airline will give them good service or legroom; the only trust is that the airline will get them to their destination alive sorta but not really on-time.
That's impressive AF. The website demo is cool, although it ran a bit slow on my PC/GPU.

I mainly used Twitter as my source for news content. I accomplished this by not only following “smart” political people that shared their opinions on things, but also by following most major news organizations as well.

The partisan politics, the faux outrage, the hyped up drama, it’s what drives clicks and ad $ and it’s awful for our mental health.
It’s not misleading. Do some research.
Because the article is interesting and insightful.

The full paragraph you quote starts with:

"In this article, I try to explain in detail where Frank Herbert got his names, concepts, and words from."

I'm not sure that "but you didn't read the whole book/series!" qualifies as a reasonable critique of someone who's just giving some (AFAICT straight-forward) etymological background on a few names and concepts...

Also, HN is not some high arbiter of taste. It's just a voting-based algorithm, and the population of voters isn't that large. A re-statement of your question might be: "so why did 60 random internet people click on this at around the same time?", and the answer might be "because there were 60 people who like dune, happened to be on hn around the time this was posted, and don't know much about islam/arabic" :)

And my point is that the delta in the difficulty of getting a good job has been negative. On other words,

> if you have a law degree from a school that isn't from the top 40 your odds of doing any law work are getting much slimmer.

You need to back up this claim. I don't doubt that that you have met people stuck in low paying jobs. But if you're trying to claim that it'd been getting harder to find well paying jobs while the unemployment rate has hit record lows, you're going to need to back up this claim. I was in college during the recession, and my older classmates that graduated in the early 2010s had a much tougher time than I (graduated mid 2010s) did finding a job.

The observation that this pattern of depression and anxiety has risen at the same time that the economy has improved significantly is a strong indicator that the ability to get a job is not the culprit here.

As parent comments mention, sending back the whole-page response when you vote on a comment is a great idea if you have JavaScript disabled or aren't logged in.

But it'd be a quick performance win if it didn't do that when you were logged in with JavaScript enabled. The actual JavaScript part of this is actually already implemented -- that's why the page doesn't refresh when you upvote my comment -- so you'd just need one if-statement on the server side to send a blank response instead of a redirect.

Sure, 10 KB of download and the server CPU time needed to re-generate the listing page is probably pretty negligible, but multiply that by the number of votes casted on Hacker News every day and it starts to add up.
Fry's looks essentially done in Renton, WA. Little to no new inventory in months, many bare shelves, lots of shelf space filled-in with cheap goods (I saw 30 linear feet of crepe paper, I guess it was cheap or they found a supplier who fronted them merchandise). For some reason they added gardening and lawn maintenance equipment (shovels, rakes and hoses . . . because I always think of Fry's when I think of yard work /snark).

I've been going to Fry's since the early 80s, when they were a supermarket that had started carrying computer stuff. It was a place to take out-of-town visitors, especially for the first couple of themed Fry's.

It's never been a really great place to actually buy stuff; you had to be careful that what you chose from the shelf wasn't returned and repackaged, for one thing. For a while you couldn't buy a laptop from them and take immediately delivery, they had to "test" new machines, and I remember telling them that I would let them know if a serial port was bad, and to get their mitts off of my hardware.

They no longer check receipts at the door in Renton. This truly is the end times.
It’s a thoroughly debunked bit of misinformation.
If you ever do visit a Fry's again, the trick for that "let me check your receipt and mark it with a pink sharpie" person is to just smile and walk right by. They won't stop you or question you, because they have been trained that it would be unlawful to do so. They can ask to see your receipt and check it, but they can't demand it.

More than once there has been a line of a half dozen people at the pink sharpie exit, and I've just walked on by, much to the amazement of the people waiting in line.

Note: I'm talking about Fry's, not Costco. I'm told Costco is different because it's a membership club and you have to agree to their terms and conditions to shop there. (I'm also told that even Costco can't demand to see your receipt, but they can cancel your membership if you don't show it.)
/home came much later. I don't think they ever had it at bell labs.

I agree with the sentiment. It's worth pointing out that the articles title is highly click-baity as the actual article does not mention Mars, Elon Musk, or any investments in getting to Mars. The only mention of the word space is in the context of space for canopy.

What I find interesting about the goal to get towards Mars is that it includes all sorts of plans for terra forming mars as we might find our selves having to terra form earth back to it's former glory.

In order to do that, we could do worse than letting loose creative geniuses on all sorts of wacky ideas like getting to Mars, electrifying our vehicles, storing lots of energy, and mass deploying solar energy. At least a few of those things might help us reduce our carbon footprint. I'm all for plans that involve restoring ecosystems. Planting trees is sort of the simplistic version of that. It's a start; it won't be enough by itself. I'm afraid that in the minds of simpler people this turns into a "I can have my cake and eat it" kind of thing where planting trees means a free pass for burning gas, coal and oil. We need to stop doing that ASAP and we need technology to allow us to do that without reverting back to our per-industrial era selves. Courtesy of Elon Musk (and many others), that seems a lot more profitable and doable than it used to.

When you're not using frameworks/libraries, it's typically referred to as vanilla js. Probably the name stuck thanks to this amazing satire of a js library. http://vanilla-js.com/. This was basically around the time browsers got good enough that jQuery was no longer needed. It essentially emphasized that all the showcase features of popular 'must-have' js libraries were now a standard part of modern browsers.
