Do you also mean AI, space flight, genome research, evolution of computing, etc?

Also - I agree that growth in the first world came at the expense of the middle class - but in much of the rest of the world, it didn't. I was _massively_ poorer 20 years ago (and not just me, most of my country, really). And it's not a singular thing - AFAIK a lot of people came out of poverty in those last 20 years. In east asia & pacific this seems to have been dramatic: https://ourworldindata.org/exports/share-of-population-livin...
Even then not necessarily sufficient. Source: worked with a trainer on this for months after pulling my back at a crossfit years earlier and still having lingering effects. Sitting a ton creates, or can create, large hip inflexibility, tight hamstrings, etc. If budget and space isn't a material constraint, get a hexbar... it will lessen some of the impact on your back.

Deadlifting (and squatting) is arguably the most important full body exercise you can do, and the staple of every single marvel super hero body transformation, but the risk threshold is fairly high for a beginner.

If you want to stretch, try ROMWOD. A bit intense but likely the most impactful in terms of results.

Fantastic idea and very cool to see, I'd love to hear how it goes as you get going. Reminds me of Vistage/EO but for CTOs a bit.
Some will. Some of us already live relatively independent lives. Not a lot, to be sure. And it can hardly be done in a city.
Curious about your use case for twenty-five year old emails (and indirectly the anticipated use case for fifty year old emails).
Disagree. If you make a Twitter account and then use it without a phone number it will quickly be locked to force you to prove you're human. It took less than 3 hours for mine. They want my phone number to unlock it enough to delete the account. No way.

Logistics and communications certainly scale pretty well. Remembering how young the industrial revolution actually is and how many problems we already have, it seems be foolish to keep growth the goal.

Although you would need to differentiate. Growth in resource consumption? Nobody would want that. Growth in wealth? Yes, please...

Maybe logistics and communications had litte effort to keep up with exponential growth, but other sectors certainly seem tired from time to time. It just isn't possible to grow food with exponential efficiency, even if recent developments (last ~200 years would have us believe otherwise).
1. If you look at the productivity gains in the U.S. over the past 50 years, the vast majority of the gains have been captured by a very small subset of the population.

2. A zero sum game in terms of the distribution of money is not the same as a similar distribution of wealth.
Matt Levine in “Money Stuff” yesterday: One thing to say here is that the people who are Econ-101-rational tend to be the ones who make the most money. Every time you read about a workaholic billionaire and think “boy, not me, if I had a billion dollars I’d be on the beach,” the answer is always “well that’s why you don’t have a billion dollars.” If you have the characteristics that enable you to make a billion dollars, you don’t usually turn them off once you get there.
Loud is subjective.

A friend of mine recently asked if my PC is okay in a very worried tone, I said that’s how I build a PC and he now makes remarks of his annoyance every time the afterburner kicks in, all while it’s just a cruise flight to me.
So you're becoming a niche developer. Congrats, now is time to shine and rack in the big dough. While everybody flocks to Python, go search jobs for Perl and ask for big buck. I bet there are plenty of legacy projects for Perl.
I learned with a really inexpensive (30 bucks) boxed set called Living Language

Then once I knew the basics I went to conversation hours

>Return errors which are meaningful and where the calling code can deal with it immediately, otherwise don't bother.

Don't bother and do what?

Rent control.
When you compare income vs rent that you see on sites like Kijiji or Padmapper it shows rent for a new tenancy, but that's not what the locals pay.
Dark humor and casual racism are not the same thing, and most attempts to cover up the latter using the former as a justification are poor attempts indeed.

We are talking at cross purposes. I, too, enjoy dark humor. Cards Against Humanity is indeed dark. It is also other things, in addition to that. One of those things is racist.
What "we" do you mean? "I"? "My family"? As a lifelong resident of the general area, I and my "we" are certainly not remotely thrilled to have them.

More than anything I didn't get a tech vibe in Toronto. I was at UofT and the surroundings all the time, yet it felt like the town is mostly devoid of tech. Not the same vibe you get in Seattle or Redmond or SV for that matter.

May be it's my bias but Toronto doesn't feel all that multi cultural. Sure you see people of different nationalities but something feels lacking.
Thanks for replying. I want to tell you that I feel deep regret for my impulse to publically shame you - even though I've gotten a lot of points for this comment, and did not really receive criticism for it.

Hey - if you make performance optimizations and compare implementations, it's probably best not to jump to quick conclusions. I would advise to brush up on C to get a feel for performance. Or, in times where it's popular to shit on C, and claim that it's not really a low-level language anymore, I would advise to write some assembler (which I've barely done). In practice it's unlikely that you find yourself in a situation where you can write code in a high-level language that runs considerably faster than what you could realistically write in C. The only situation where that can happen that I can see, is when the program does something that is so complicated but seems so arbitrary that you simply can't bring yourself to invest more time than what you need to hack together a quick Python script, and what you would be willing to write in C would be not even the asymptotically best approach that you can see.

For a simple program like wc, that situation does not apply, and if you find surprising results, it's best to first check for other possible reasons than "thousands of graybeards were wrong".
> An example would be to remove the $50b per year water subsidies for the beef industry

Do you have a source for that? Every one I have been able to find indicates that total meat and dairy subsidies are less than that, let alone just water subsidies for the beef industry.

As humans we know our reaction times - you naturally slow down as you get to a junction or navigate crowded or tricky traffic conditions to give yourself as much of a chance as possible to react.

This is the thinking behind many types of speed control street layouts. You should also know where to look to anticipate where danger is most likely to come from, and be ready with some kind of action. This is why we do
hazard identification tests as part of the driving test - looking in the right directions at the right times is crucial for operating a vehicle safely.

250ms is a fairly average reaction time for something visual that you are ready for - but you should really be giving yourself as much time as possible - if somebody bombs past a traffic light at 70mph, even if it is green, most people would agree that it was an unsafe move. This goes doubly for an autonomous car, that is unable to play the positioning negotiation game that humans are masters of as a result of being social creatures.
A fellow I know lives in Washington, DC, a block and a half from the Columbia Heights metro. He expects to be charged more rent as the first result of the Crystal City HQ2. I imagine that Washington will gain some income tax revenue.
There's "modern society collapse" and there's "a 5 day blackout in a city", most people are not even prepared for #2, it doesn't hurt to plan for that.
Lolwut? Two products produced by two different companies, expected to be of the same caliber? Nonsense. Utter nonsense.

Look into the "Warning Letters" database for generics producers vs. branded. It's ridiculous the amount of things generics producers get away with (contaminated product, improper facility maintenance, improper purity and potency oversight, poor quality control).

They're not the same thing. No matter how many laymen -- or worse actual medical professionals who think they know pharma just because they sell pills -- parrot the "fillers causing side-effects" bullshit.

The only thing generics providers need to do is establish a very loose bioequivalency through self-tested experiments (the FDA doesn't conduct the experiments or oversees them, only reviews the results and methodology). Once accepted, shady decisions are easy to cover up, since the FDA only does visits infrequently.

It's like buying on Amazon. You could get the original brand's product or some knock-off. Except in this case, the knock-off is state-supported.
I have the AMD Ryzen 9 3900x (paid $499 at launch). Last I checked it is now $469, so prices will likely inch down as time goes on. I would probably wait until the next AMD launch sometime this year if you want to get a sweet deal on a great chip.

Like it or not, this is actually how the ADA was intended to be used, instead of creating "ADA police," it relies on mostly enforcement brought on by private parties.
Learn an array language like APL, J, or k/q. I’d personally recommend k/q. It’s not as strange as APL or J and pretty easy to learn. Writing in q is the most fun I’ve had in a long-time. And the code and language is beautiful, I love everything about it.
I think honesty is a skill by the dictionary definition as you can certainly do honesty badly, and learning to do it well is difficult and requires study and practice.

It's also worth learning how to do well.

All the high paying doctors are usually specialists in some hard to break into specialty. Your average family doctor is probably making somewhere in the $200k while they bust their asses paying of $300k in student loans.

If you can land a FAANG job, your total comp (after education costs) will outstrip all but the highest paid physicians.
$5-6K for a move is a pretty substantial amount of money. In addition to paying the first month's rent + deposit that is the norm in a lot of places- I doubt most people can afford that level of service. I don't think it's because "they're such cheap bastards".

I loved sandstorm and used it extensively a few years ago; it was amazing to single-click install instances of apps like; "Wekan", "Dokuwiki", "Wordpress".

The reason I stopped using it was development... It was amazingly hard and confusing to develop a "hello world" application for Sandstorm.

Sandstorm had a great GUI and workflow for users, but it seemed like new developers on the platform were ignored... which reduced the growth of the platform and eventually killing it

Glad to see it's being revived though and maybe I'm smart enough to make my own Sandstorm-Compatible app now!

I would really like to see fewer of these clickbait post titles. The author honestly admits here (props!) https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22235536 that they only used the title because it encourages discussion.

In that case, I would say that it's up to the community to not take clickbait titles like this seriously if we want to encourage reasoned, detailed content rather than borderline flaming with words like "destroy" and "smash". I personally don't enjoy this new Buzzfeed style of technical post at all.

Therefore, I have some comments about the actual code here, but going to keep them to myself so I don't encourage more people to follow OP's example.
For developers I would phrase this as - learn about deploying workloads on k8s, using tools such as Kustomize, Tilt/Skaffold, Knative, service mesh, Ingresses and cert-manager. It is not simple for developers to use Kubernetes effectively in production without learning a few tools and concepts. There is a lot of demand for training of developers to use k8s and plenty of opportunities out there for those with the know how.

The other useful skill is using k8s as a platform to build platforms, even for internal workloads there can be a lot of value developing custom resources, controllers and webhooks

Once you have the right tools and tactics using k8s is a breeze and very productive
Paper and hand counting only.

Election results are too important to risk compromising them by trying to save money or rush results.

The money saved is always marginal anyway and the extra time is usually only a few hours.
Sure, they could, but why would a mafia corporation like Uber do that?
"Men would have an easier time dating if they behaved more like women" is such nonsense. If men could increase their mating prospects by obsessively cultivating their appearence, they would do it. But it doesn't, so they don't.

If you want to know "what women desire in men," look at things that men do that women don't. And, by the same token, if you want to know "what men desire in women," look at things that women do that men don't.

There's a general rule here: people, in aggregate, are better at solving these kinds of problems ("how to attract the opposite sex") than your mind is.
That is incorrect, the thermal protection circuits operate well in advance of the actual junction death temperature. Usually 20C or so minimum on mobile and more on Desktop. The CPU will throttle like mad first to save itself and then just reset the computer assuming the BIOS doesn't block the boot in the first place.
So essentially a half-length TEU? The question that comes to my mind is "what are the use cases?" While the concept of loading up a cube and having it transported to a new location has some attractions, there are a lot of situations (apartments, condos) where there really isn't any place to drop off something like that for loading or unloading. (Which would presumably be the advantage over just renting a van or small truck.)
You answered it yourself - they play the role of bookmarks.

If you were to tell me to use bookmarks instead of tabs, I'd find that weird: Bookmarks are like a less useful version of tabs. I used to use Bookmarks and found them less useful; it's that simple.

Yes, I do use a plugin that allows better tab management, thanks.

With regard to digging through backups: Bookmarks would have exactly the same problem if they got wiped, would they not.

UPDATE: I'm with jml7c5's comment: There is a middle ground betweem traditional Bookmark use (archived) and live (current issues). My open tabs occupy this middle ground as a kind of medium-term, time-ordered backlog of issues to take another look through when time permits.

Some of them are articles containing information I want to extract to notes, some of them contain specific technical bugs, solutions or discoveries I need to incorporate having found out about them, and generally many serve as useful reminders about some issue or other to get to in due course.

The ability to visually see their time and association structure that grew passively is quite useful, as is the ability to visually see the actual content at a glance, because that helps me remember why that content is in my queue.

Bookmarks are almost useless for this. The URL is not enough by far. If Bookmarks had large thumbnails, retained scroll position, and it was possible to highlight particular text, then Bookmarks would be much more useful for my needs.

No doubt there are various clipping tools such as Evernote that would serve me better. But I haven't found an open source one that hits the spot, and I'm not interested in using any closed source or cloud-based clipping tool, having been bitten by locked away formats, and inability to extend the tool, too many times already.
Graph Databases. Most companies have problems where graph DBs are a great solution, but people who have experience with them are rare.
...yeah, but there's still a "market mechanism" - you're not going to be able hire and keep a good CEO if you don't pay at least "market rate". Also, probably most people worth >1Bn have not made that by being CEOs, that's more like what you get through successful investment (the "rich daddy" + "some brains" combo), or through being really really incredibly lucky as a founder.

To misquote Ronald Wright's apocryphal quote of John Steinbeck, capitalism never took root in America because the poor see themselves not as an exploited proletariat but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

More seriously, the problem is one of moral hazard: The politicians making these decisions aren't playing with their own money. The people whose money it is aren't buying seats at their $500-a-plate fundraising breakfasts, either.

Some less usual things people do that I think are very high value but boring (hence why they're not usually done):

- Understanding taxes, the importance of savings and baseline personal finance literacy.

- Reading the political programs of a few parties running for elections in you country

- Reading a few yearly report / financial statements for a public company, an NGO/non-profit/state agency/local government and trying to understand them

- Reading a few top research papers in a field you're interested in and work through them

He's not handling unicode and it's been well demonstrated in the past that unicode handling adds a lot to computation time in tests like these (it often comes up in grep benchmarks too).

I'd be interested to see the same tests but with a non-unicode local set, IIRC:

I'd wager the C version would perform much better in that test.
I am not a fan of SHA-256, you are better off with SHA-386 or SHA-256/512 which resist prefix attacks and are actually a little fast on 64 bit machines.
