On one hand this is a great news and as Fortran user pretty happy about it.

On the other I’m a bit worried that once LLVM backend will take off for real, so much focus will concentrate on it, that other compilers (PGI, gfortran, Intel Fortran) development will finally stall or even get dropped and we will wake up in future where LLVM behemoth swallowed all the competition.

This concern is not only limited to Fortran, but also other languages to be clear. Of course I’m very grateful for LLVM project, it’s absolutely great. I think that the idea to focus talent pool from many languages is brilliant and beneficial for everyone. The only problem is when it becomes so focused that it becomes only option. I am very happy for variety and options for compilers and backends we have now.

Show HN: A personal log from the command line
I'll just add a plug for my own newsletter because I like it and it's relevant to some of the HN audience: https://sourcesort.com. It's interviews with open source maintainers and developers. The interviews vary a bit in length and quality but I learned quite a lot from conducting and editing them and I hope they're interesting to some others too. I think there's still a lot of improvement to be done but given the low number of subscribers I think it's underrated :)

The great thing is anyone could take the output of the Fortran LLVM front-end, and then compile that however they wanted with their own compiler technology. LLVM doesn't need to mean consolidation of backends. It can just mean you get a front-end for free, if that's all you want.

Denmark is pretty similar to Germany, in that a ton of services require you to have a phone number. Technically there’s rarely a reason for you to give out your number, and for stuff I don’t care about I’ll enter the number of a loan company or the number of a telcos support.

Still, I actually somewhat concerned that you’re basically not allowed to not have a phone. No one will actually call you anymore, but they do want your phone number.

I can’t think of a single service that would require you to have a phone, it’s just some weak attempt at “authenticating” you, via someone else.

Many discussions? I've never been on a project where code style required anything more than 10 minutes. The tech lead would ask: "everybody okay with the defaults of this linter/editor/whatever" and we'd reply "sure".

I think it is one of the best books about fundamental computer programming overall.

Sure, it is still a beginner book and it doesn't go into much detail, but the parts it explains, it explains very well.

You're not alone. I use macOS on my MacBook as a daily driver since my mental model is suited to the experience and the apps I use. I have the same expectation on another Windows machine that I use due to its consistent GUI. Both of which "just work" well enough to get my work done.

However, as for dual-booting Ubuntu on my Mac and using it on my PC, I also find myself booting back to Windows or macOS after testing some cross-platform GUI applications I develop since last time I tried, they were prone to crashes with strange errors related to either the DE, window manager, or a mismatch in the toolkit used somehow. This doesn't happen on my Mac or Windows PC. Thus, I end up spending time playing around with my computer running Ubuntu Linux with those system components to fix the issue rather than using it for serious productivity.

This is one of many issues plaguing Linux distros like Ubuntu from being my daily driver instead of an occasional testing ground, which is why I dual-boot instead to macOS.
I have three. One out of diapers (6) and two in (just 3 and 1) and we tried everything with the 6 year old to get her potty trained. Finally the doctor told us to simply lay off for a little and have her bring it up. Sure enough 2 weeks later she simply said she was done with diapers and that was that. We are currently doing the cookie per potty time for my 3 year old and it’s going fairly well. Potty training is the worst. Good luck.

>open source smartphone hardware is not a thing that existed before now

See, this is something I really dislike about the Librem 5 - they are pretty much trying to rewrite history to pain themselves in a better light. "We are the first ones tryin to do this, no one ever tried before, so all those bad decissions we did that make our phone unusable are not our fault!"

This is of course incorrect, as they totally fail to mention the Neo FreeRunner project, a open source smartphone from ~2009:

http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunner

I've had it and many issues it had pretty much mirror the issues Librem 5 is having at the moment - problematic hardware component, buggy calling and issues with power management. Mybe thats why Purism fails to mention it, to hide the fact they managed to repicate the mistakes 10 years later ?

Still even http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Neo_FreeRunnerwith all its faults the Neo FreeRunner pretty much jumpstarted the open mobile community, with many of its users then bein involved in the Maemo and Sailfish OS communities and now with the Pinephone or Fxtec Pro1.

For that reason it makes me sad how Purism fails to mention the Neo FreeRunner & paint themselves as being first. It's really rude to all the hard work the open mobile community did since then & that they are heavilly building on.

Sure being rich is nice, you can do more things than most people.

My point is that you will probably never be rich. The concept of rich people is to be more healthy than most people. So you should probably not have a shitty lifestyle because you want to be one of them but you aren't succedding. If you enjoy trying, good for you.

Ambition and creativity is different than wanting to be rich. A researcher usually does not care about money but would love the frontpage of Nature or a Nobel price. A musician is usually more thinking about its art and the people than the sales. A politician wants power. Lots of examples.

Saving the world and making the society better with a lot of money is good, but thankfully rich people are not the only solution.

From Toronto but live in Montreal.

Rents in Montreal are going up but still no where near Toronto level. Cost of living is lower too on many levels. Of course it depends on the area but generally it's reasonable.

You can live pretty comfortably on a 75k salary and lots of people in the tech sector make more than this, infosec paying even 6 figures in some places.

I recently turned down an offer from Google for a job in Sunnyvale because even though I might have been paid twice as much, I knew the cost of living was much higher and quality of life probably not as good.
That belief has been illustrated in technicolor over the past decade. Plenty of "famous" people on social media have very little to show for it. I'm not talking about the Logan Pauls or PewDiePies of this world - they're clearly outliers - but the average famous person on YouTube or Instagram (tens to hundreds of thousands of followers), might have a decent to great income but they're not "rich", where rich is defined as not dependent on any source of income[1]. Many of them are in fact enslaved to the need to constantly produce new content, which is fine if you enjoy it but perhaps not so much otherwise.

[1] My preferred definition is actually the ability to do what you want, when you want, and with whom you want, which is a little broader than simply money.
Great read, thanks for posting.

Steiner was insufferable at times but also at his best very enjoyable to listen to as an old-fashioned intellectual conversationalist that we don't get much exposure to anymore - at least in mainstream media.

I always enjoyed seeing him pop up on TV or the radio - this article reminded me of a time he made Christian and easily-irritated debate host Melvyn Bragg snap at him for dismissing Christianity as a "Jewish heresy" or somesuch like an attention-seeking adolescent might.

A curious mixture of cleverness and social awkwardness at times.

I've been using some form of Linux for my daily driver since valve released the Proton comparability changes for wine. Haven't looked back.

TLDR: use a distro with a decent community, but it's also ok to not use Linux.

You're creating extra cognitive load for people. If there's one thing behavioral psychology has reliably taught us (in spite of the repeatability issues on a few findings), it is that our brains are wired to avoid cognitive load as much as possible.

The cost of putting cognitive load is many people will choose not to pay it and that cost is instead borne by your partner

"Canada produces a lot of decent tech people, who will work for 2/3 the wages,"

Actually Canada products a lot of decent tech people, most of which go south the US. The ones that stay, or the ones that immigrate here, mostly work for 2/3rd (or less) of the wages.

But yes, Canadian economy is mostly "rip and ship"; and that seems to apply to talent education as well.
I got a smart watch after being staunchly anti-smartwatch, because I can now leave my phone at home. It was a compromise that allowed me to stay connected via phone while not having a distraction-factory in my pocket. I don't have anything but the phone app and weather on there, and I have a whitelist so only friends and family can contact me. I delay text messages 'til I get home if I can, and I get maybe 2 phone calls a week.

My biggest issue with the phone was it could distract me with a notification, and I could dive into it for too long after dealing with the notification. That doesn't happen on the watch because frankly, they can't do all that much and they are a pain in the ass to use for anything more than a quick sentence.

Could I just "be a better person" and be disciplined with my phone? Totally. But I've tried numerous times, so this is my method and it's been working well.

> From all I've read, steroids do help you achieve your fitness-based aesthetic goals with less effort (or at all).

That isn't how steroids work. In fact, it's almost the opposite - they optimize the body's natural process of repairing muscles. They also reduce inflammation, which allows you to train more with less recovery time. The idea that taking steroids automatically gives you muscles is false. You still have to work out hard and often.

The "Fight Club" physique is attainable mostly by cutting body fat (and of course with working out.) Pitt's BF was 8%, which is really low compared to the average fit person.
The idea is to measure relative sizes. So if your first sphere has radius r and the second sphere has radius R, where R = 3r, you can then reason about which n maximizes volume for each. Remember that volume is going to be in units of r (and R) to the power of n.
