Hayao Miyazaki (Studio Ghibli) said (at around 70 as well), "The notion that one's goal in life is to be happy, that your own happiness is the goal... I just don't buy it"

I think as we focus on mastery or craftsmanship, happiness finds us.

Not everyone, but I'd say modern society is hedonistic—we seek happiness instead of achievement and get neither.
Which is exactly the point :). So good news!

This is an irrelevant argument in a perspective of monopoly and its market definition. Even Apple itself gives a list of competing web browsers in the iOS ecosystem to refute App Store monopoly arguments, but this also strongly suggests that iOS and Safari are separate products and browsers in iOS itself is a competing market.

The only possible argument is that iOS is not in a dominant position in the smartphone market thus Apple cannot exercise monopolistic powers. But people doesn't change their phone because of web browser engine since its prohibitively expensive for this purpose. The result is that an Android phone doesn't work as an alternative for iPhone, thus iOS can be defined as a sole market for browser products (in terms of monopoly of course). This could've been solved if Apple allowed installation of other OS in iPhone, but they've made their choice a long time ago.

Also the other day I read in the AWK book that it was mainly inspired by SNOBOL4, so looked at some SNOBOL4 books from archive.org, from 1970-2 and just before, slightly earlier than Unix history takes you back. One tells you how to organize your punch cards to feed in the program.. Another had a bibliography with many dozens of SNOBOL books. It was widely used by people in the humanities apparently; like AWK it was at home dealing with words and text.

> Could you allow Chrome without allowing other browsers with lesser pedigree?

Sure, you could have security auditing standards required for apps with certain functionality, including browsers, and apply them in a neutral manner across vendors. That might structurally favor larger firms, but wouldn't favor partners.

Can you, really? Say your kid disappeared a week ago after soccer practice, and the police has no leads about their whereabouts. Could you really distance yourself and "not worry because everything is just a random walk"? Or would you spend all night restless, like a normal human being?

Downtown Raleigh is also 1 square mile with barely anyone living in it... and the moment you leave it's just more suburban sprawl. I would never in a million years compare it to Seattle if I wanted "downtown living", they're not the same type of city. But I am glad to hear it at least has less crime.

Charlotte on the other hand was one of the US's most deadly cities a couple of years back, and this year is one of the most violent in over a decade so it is really bad.

-

But yeah... I wouldn't say it's fair to write it off as a case of high expectations, every city is a balancing act.

I've lived in cities that had comparable crime to Durham that did not leave me unhappy, the problem is enduring that crime should have some benefit, maybe there's great natural resources nearby, or salaries are very high and you can afford to live in a "good neighborhood" or some strong cultural richness.

This area has none of that. If you're looking for a 1sq mile downtown, there are so many options, if you're looking for suburban sprawl as far as the eye can see, there's tons of options for that too.

So I ask myself, why is this specific area of the country experiencing a massive influx of people along with matching insane real-estate hikes, and worsening traffic? What culture is there? What special entertainment? What natural attractions?

And I come up empty.

Durham especially just boggles the mind, it's growing like it has none of these glaring issues. At least other cities I lived in had "good" areas, this is like a warzone: https://i.imgur.com/dfEPqgi.png

Maybe you can argue Raleigh is inoffensive enough to get a pass, but it's not just Raleigh seeing all these people, Durham and Charlotte are too.

My comment wasn't about how much I love CT, if I loved it so much I wouldn't have left. But its about what else is out there.

Cities like Austin and Miami have a lot of the pains this area of the country has... but way more culture at least, more entertainment, more options for people who prefer living in a "real" downtown. Some actual justifications for the very real problems they have.

Depends on the dose. Personally I've had stronger trips with LSD and mushrooms. Also in all ceremonies I've participated you get to drink ayahuasca a number of times so you can judge if you want more or not.

In a ceremony I saw a woman drink ayahuasca just once and she had a much stronger trip that the rest of us, but this is uncommon.

Yeah, that's all fair and counterfactuals are impossible. My instinct, though I have nothing to back this up, is:

- The US foreign policy of regime change and bullying hegemony was a complete failure, and totally counterproductive.

- We should have deployed soft power, like aid, diplomacy, and the Peace Corps, to places that were vulnerable to falling into authoritarian rule long term, and invested in the development of poorer countries.

- We should have more seriously considered deploying hard power to places that initially fell into authoritarian rule. I know Cuba was a failure and I know military action has serious consequences (especially for civilians), but compared to authoritarian governments wielding vast nuclear arsenals and ponderous economic weight... it's a tough choice.

- We should internalize that as the US goes, the world tends to follow. Whenever we violate sovereignty, human rights, or our own values and laws, the world takes notice. Like it or not, we're responsible for showing the world how a liberal superpower behaves. We need to take that responsibility seriously.

An atheist myself, but I imagine this has to do with the lack of eternal life after death in that case. Religious people find the idea of life after death comforting, and it's easy to understand why: most people fear death and can't comprehend their consciousness ending at some point, for the same reasons why we can't comprehend things like the big bang or infinity. There is, by definition, no example that we could perceive to comprehend it.

> Being as we use different tools, we wouldn’t allow a pull to be merged if it wasn’t up-to-date with master which is similar but a different approach

That wouldn't work for us due to the amount of changes we need to ship. If you rebase your branch and wait for CI to come back green, chances are another PR will have merged in the mean time, which means your rebased branch is no longer up to date with master. You end up stuck in a rebase cycle.

For this reason, we have no choice but to batch PRs, which is what the merge queue tool does. Faster CI will reduce this problem and we're working on that as well, but won't fully solve this.

The Making of Margaret Atwood
My guess is they already knew about the MAOI to at least some degree and noticed that the effects of other plants were amplified when combining them. So when they found the DMT plant, someone figured it'd be worth seeing what happens when they combine them.

If it's true that the DMT plant has no psychoactive effects when taken alone, maybe someone had already had a routine of taking the MAOI and just eating most plants they came across, to see what would happen.
Ah, Komodo! I wrote a bunch of extensions for it [1][2][3] that got me started with XUL. I loved both. XUL always felt like every feature you can think of was available and thoroughly thought out, you just had to discover it (not always straightforward given how lacking the documentation was, especially for internal/private APIs). XUL was way ahead of its time.

A good, introductory, high-level overview of what is going on with cache coherence... albeit specific to x86.

ARM systems are more relaxed, and therefore need more barriers than on x86. Memory barriers (which also function as "compiler barriers" for the memory / register thing discussed in the article) are handled as long as you properly use locks (or other synchronization primitives like semaphores or mutexes).

Its good to know how things work "under the covers" for performance reasons at least. Especially if you ever write a lock-free data-structure (not allowed to use... well... mutexes or locks), so you need to place the barriers in the appropriate spot.

------

I think the acquire/release model of consistency will become more important in the coming years. PCIe 4.0 is showing signs of supporting acquire/release... ARM and POWER have added acquire/release model instructions, and even CUDA has acquire/release semantics being built.

As high-performance code demands faster-and-faster systems, the more-and-more relaxed our systems will become. Acquire/release is quickly becoming the standard model.

I realize this is just the broken clock being right twice a day but the fact that we give the NSA any credibility of any kind is truly mind boggling.

Contrary to popular opinion I haven't found DMT to be that much different than any other psychedelic drug when comparing equivalent doses. Sure it's true that while high on the drug it creates experiences that feel real, but that's true of dreaming too, isn't it? It's not obvious that it wasn't real until it's over. And similarly I have had the same feeling from high doses of "plain old" psychedelics.
I run a SaaS with tens of thousands of users and am not even tempted to run ads or even add third party analytics. Firefox, Safari, and Chrome all work fine on it.

Just because there are a lot of bad actors and massive amounts of advertising doesn't mean the entire internet needs to go down that path.
The article claims it is a gut feeling. Surprised this post made it here.

There's quite a lot of language stuff you don't realise if you grew up with it. Sometimes you learn a rule without knowing what on earth the rule actually it. I had this come up once in a Danish class. The choice was between "hans" and "sin" which is a somewhat subtle thing. The thing is I never got any of the answers wrong, but I still don't really understand the difference.

On the learning side, you also often get told rules that don't entirely make sense. For instance I'm told in a Mandarin class that there's a difference between 不 and 没 which is whether it's subjective or objective that something isn't true. But that's neither clear when saying something, nor clear in terms of examples I've been given. What's really weird is I speak another Chinese dialect that also has this distinction, and I also can't tell you the rule there.
The Chrome "apps" feature is turning out pretty well for me when using it for YT Music and YT TV, it runs in the same process as the existing chrome tabs do, and you can have dedicated windows for them in Windows/MacOS.
What do you mean by "extreme consequences" for mistakes in social situations?
Take Facebook or Gmail. Last time I looked -- a couple of years ago -- Facebook served some 18 MB of JavaScript. I imagine it's not hand-written, but compiled from ReasonML and whatever other languages they're using. There's nothing nice in that, it's a mess. You can't crack open Developer Tools and figure out how the timeline updates when you scroll. You can't figure out where the ads are inserted into the DOM.

So WASM doesn't take away anything from us, because we haven't had the "nice" you mention for 10 or 15 years. Sites like HN will stay like this, sites like Facebook will get even bigger. It will happen with or without WASM.

But yes, I do see where you're coming from. You want a less bloated Web, and you're worried that WASM is not going to lead to that, which I pretty much agree with. While I'm saying that cat is already out of the bag and WASM at least has the potential to bring performance improvements over JavaScript (which will be promptly negated by the sites getting even more bloated).
So can you give any examples in the US or the EU where such a definition has ever been used?

In that case are all of the console makers “monopolies” since they have to approve both digital and physical media distributed on their platform?

Does Apple also have a “monopoly” in the smart speaker market since they control what runs on the HomePod even though they are a distance third to Amazon and Google? What about the “AppleTV”? Should Apple have been forced to open up the 2nd/3rd generation AppleTV to developers?

Do they have a “monopoly” on AirPods since they don’t allow third party smart assistants?
>With respect, macOS "allows you to get your work done in the least amount of pain as possible" precisely because you are used to it and its relative quirks.

This is devolving into the same flamewar that always occurs when discussing platform religion so this will be my last post on it.

For the record I have been a dual platform user for 10+ years (Windows and Linux). It was only 4 years ago that I got fed up with countless Android phones having so many bugs. Maybe i'm just cursed. (my last Android phone was a Nexus 5) I finally gave iPhone a try. The experience was so good that I finally considered giving macOS a try. Historically it was always too expensive in my mind to risk trying in case it turned out to be bad. Once the iPhone got me hooked, macOS ended up being a breath of fresh air as well.

As my previous comments eluded, I still try out the other platforms yearly but always go back to macOS now due to the aforementioned problems. Going back to the original comment that I replied to:

>If HN comment sections are early indicators, devs are moving on. We are potentially a few years away from OS X apps no longer being best-in-class for dev tooling. That should scare people who are long Apple, a group that presumably includes their management.

During the 90s and early 00s Apple did not have a majority hold on the dev community. Developers moved to Apple due to to flaws in the other platforms. I have listed issues that are caused by fundamental flaws in the OS. No matter how bad Nvidia is, Linux should never silently crash when trying to log in leaving the user stranded on the login screen. Its just poor design.

If we are talking about Windows well it does not solve any of the OS problems that Apple platforms have and instead introduces additional problems of its own. The only people who would switch are people who are so damaged by Apple's policies on hardware or generic policies that the pain of this overshadows the solid foundation that their OS provides. The pragmatic side of me remains skeptical it will happen on a mass scale.
They quite literally were forced to use C for some parts because Go is not a systems programming language. They write this in the article.
DMT is far less risky than LSD and Shrooms. It lasts 10-15 minutes and you are mostly in awe of what you experience. Lsd/shrooms give you hours to self reflect in good or bad spots and entangle your thoughts in good or bad spots... i’d say DMT is far easier to experience than a full on acid trip
While I absolutely agree that niche spaces that fit your interests tend to have much higher content quality, this argument doesn't quite apply to social networks that attach to your IRL persona. No point in switching until most your IRL connections are there.

In this case, if all your friends hang out at McDonalds, you're not gonna want to sit at your local bistro alone.

If yes it's only a matter of time until it transitions away from it too.
For more on the shamans' claims that the plants communicate information through Ayahuasca experiences, see the work of Jeremy Narby, it's undeniable that the natives understanding of plants is extensive and however it was come by it's an invaluable source of knowledge that has been 'harvested' by big pharma for many contemporary medicines.
I believe it's Goudy, like the "crawl" discussed in the article.
> This is the behavior the current market rules incentivize.

What changed in the "market rules" between then and now? How do you make a causation from that diff plausible?

Another alternative: A once great company fell apart due the usual factors: greed, incompetency, entropy, failed succession plans, great people being unusual, ethically minded technical founders being replaced by MBAs - who then turn out creating larger profits in the shorter term, etc.

It's highly unusual for great companies to remain great companies over a long period of time.

Edit: I mean, I agree that it seems like the behavior of large companies has changed quite a lot; from say 1980 to 2010. But how much of that is cultural, and how much is legislation? What has driven this change? (Are we talking about the same thing, using different terminology?)
