I’ve been thinking about what I’d want in a new shell for a little while. Suffice it to say: not this.

This decides that the problem is mostly the unix commands not working together the way the author would like but I’m already pretty happy with the way unix commands work, I know how to use awk and I have a bunch of tools for different kinds of structured data.

So instead I will go off topic and describe the new shell that I would actually like to see:

A shell is (at least as far as I’m concerned) a program for running other programs, and connecting them together. I would not constrain myself to running inside a fixed grid character terminal if I could help it.

The thing I would focus on is interactivity and modifiability of commands. Most of my time at a command line is doing one of two things:

1. Typing simple commands to e.g. start systems or query their state or otherwise poke them. Here command has a more traditional meaning than “invocation of a program which may do arbitrary things”.

2. Piecing together pipelines to extract some data and do things with it (first I write a command to get some data and probably pipe it into less, then I try writing a bit of sed on the end and piping that into less, then some awk, and so on until I have the pipeline I want)

For 1, I would want things to mostly work like bash.

For 2, I would want something more. Instead of using regular pipes, add an intermediate program (or use the shell). At first it can just hold onto the input as well as sending it to the output. That would make it easy to inspect what is going into a pipe. I guess it may eventually want to stop building memory usage so maybe it could have a large ring buffer instead. I would also like to be able to get some pv like behaviour to see progress. This could also be switched into something with lower overhead. I think it would all be reasonably cheap with splice, tee, and vmsplice (I’m not interested in support for non Linux platforms).

I’d want the ability to e.g. write my command with a trailing pipe, see some output, and then interactively add more stages to the pipeline

Ideally, I’d like an interactive awk-like tool where I can see the effect of my partly-written command as I write it.

I’d want ssh to be treated in a first-class reasonably transparent way where I don’t need to think about complicated quoting rules. But maybe somehow efficiently trying to avoid too much bandwidth or remote computation.

I think I would want it to mostly run inside emacs but able to spawn a fast terminal emulator automatically as necessary for large files or long lines (you may be surprised to know that a shell in emacs tends to give you much lower typing latency than typical terminal emulators because Mac’s handles its own rendering and line editing whereas a terminal emulator must send the key to bash through a pty which then sends back some terminal control codes which must be interpreted before the display may be rendered.
There are different tiers of loans based on company size. While I don’t have the tiers memorized, I think most unicorns would be excluded from the very generous terms.
You have to consider under the selected IMU, in the center, there is the most of the mass, made by the single 18650 Li-Ion battery. This solution is working, ArduBee is already flying good with the low pass filter in the gyro sets at 110Hz, if vibration would be an issue I guess it cannot fly

This is one of the saddest yet truest things I've read here on HN. Really hits home.
South Korea cases peaked 45 days ago, Iceland peaked 2 weeks ago so their CFR are not directly comparable. Compare Iceland with a South Korea at a similar point post peak infections and the CFR look similar. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_S... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2020_coronavirus_pandemic_in_I...

South Korea had 5 deaths per day on both 2/29 and 4/13 that’s a horrible sign.

What would you break up Amazon into?
I hate screen cases. But I bought one for iPhone 8 because this thing is not made to be used without case. I dropped it first day, it's just not convenient to hold. I had 4S for 6 years before and never dropped it.

iPhones went downwards as Jobs died.

Finger pulse oximeters can definitely provide useful data, but I suspect that they're lagging indicators for Covid-19, because typically, severe respiratory symptoms that affect blood oxygen levels appear later in the course of the disease. (But my background is in behavioral science, not pulmonology, so I might be wrong!)
That's what I'm wondering though. Nearly all the WD data center drives are marketed as Ultrastar. Is this marketing, or did the HGST entity supplant WD enterprise during "integration" in the last two years? https://www.westerndigital.com/products/data-center-drives#h...

It looks like the only surviving product names are Ultrastar and CinemaStar. Nothing is labeled HGST anymore. Most of the HGST Helium disks were SMR, if I'm not mistaken. As of now, given the two HelioSeal series, one of the two is SMR.

Side Note: Hitachi had such a great thing going with their Schoolhouse Rock meets Dino DNA commercial. I wish this would have continued. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xb_PyKuI7II
He’s not suggesting that they “run the show”. He’s suggesting that they work on the things that they think are important. The alternative is to ask them to do what they don’t think is important. Doesn’t sound like that’s worked out too well for you.
I really wonder how people are so blind to the current economic situation. Things would be bad enough if the problem was just with China. I believe economies will contract by up to 20% in the next few months, and lots of companies will go bankrupt at the end of this process.
What notifications do you see when your account has been restricted?
Yes, that was my immediate take on the paper. However, the jury is still out if you take HCQ after the onset of sympthoms if that is also too late.

Based on this in-vitro study - https://www.nature.com/articles/s41421-020-0156-0 - if I hypothetically had both Chloroquine (CQ) and Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), I would prefer HCQ for prophylaxis, but if I was exposed and likely infected or developed sympthoms, I would choose CQ. The loading time or HCQ is longer and it appears less effective at higher MOIs "the data suggest that the anti-SARS-CoV-2 activity of HCQ seems to be less potent compared to CQ, at least at certain MOIs."
Worse: a WHO official (apologies to trump supporters) said that you can’t divert much capacity because that risks causing outbreaks of other diseases. So have to create a lot of new capacity.
When I was a medical student on my psychiatry rotation we had a patient who was a history professor at a local college. He was actually admitted to the hospital after reporting himself for molesting his neighbor’s children, but this was investigated and turned out to be impossible. Nonetheless, he was convinced he had done it, and was very impulsive and saddened by it (he would tearfully confess over and over). In the end, we imaged his brain and diagnosed him with frontotemporal dementia. The most strangest aspect was that you could look on rateaprofessor.com and see how he gradually changed over the semesters. I remember a comment saying that he came in on day one, told the class they would all get A’s, and left without coming back for weeks.
I'm guessing ITT a majority of programmers reading didn't go through the dotcom bubble burst. It was brutal.
I'm here with you, I still love the idea of software, but I can't get myself to sit there and code even the most fun projects. I had a great idea for a project to start a business, I know people would need it, but I just can't get myself to do it. It's frustrating and makes me really depressed that I'm like this.
> earthly suffering is nothing compared to the joy of being in Heaven

Now the demiurge is a utility monster.

> this is not a foolproof argument

Argument? It's an admission.
our news, politics and culture are permeated by everything they say and do in the US. In a very real sense we know more about you than you do about us.

Absolutely true. The problem is that lends itself to non Americans acting at times as if they know more about America than Americans do and that their opinions about our country outweigh ours.

I've experienced kind of a mini version of this in terms of being an outsider who was exposed to a lot of info about some place via various media. I grew up in Georgia and most American films and the like come of out California and New York.

I have long felt it was problematic for those two places to have such an outsized impact on the perception of "life in America" because what they portray is often not accurate for places outside of New York and California.

Both places are far more urban than is typical for the US. I found it actively harmful to be exposed to a lot of ideas about what was "normal for the US" when it was really more like "normal for a very urban and wealthy subset of the US that lives in certain limited areas."

I'm guilty of having opinions these days about what California is doing wrong, but those opinions are informed by having lived there for a good chunk of my life. Like upwards of ten years total. (Maybe twelve-ish?)

Living in California after seeing it depicted in films so regularly helped me makes sense of some things. I got to recontectualize those movies as being "about California" rather than as being "about America" and I got to see some of the landscapes and experience some of weather and culture and what not depicted therein.

Having spent my early years seeing a place depicted and then having moved there, I will suggest that it does tend to give one an inaccurate impression of a place. What gets shown in books and movies remains a very narrow slice that leaves out a lot of pertinent details, never mind how compelling and rich the portrait may feel while viewing it.

It's completely reasonable for non Americans to be interested in what goes on here because America is very influential on the world stage. I don't discourage non Americans from expressing said interest.

I do take some umbrage with being told at times that non Americans know more about my country than I do because they have visited it and read about it. I realize you aren't actually saying that, but I have had roughly that said to me on HN and your comment veers uncomfortably close to repeating the sentiment.

And I don't really want this to turn into a fight. I'm still not sleeping enough and I'm currently running a fever. Feel free to chalk it up to "pet peeve" if you feel I've really gone off on some wild hair here.

Have a great day. I hope to step away from this conversation at this point in time.
Same, except my stereo has a 3.5mm in.

I have several pairs of Bluetooth headphones but still use the 3.5mm jack on my SE all the time, and I use a 3.5mm lightning adapter with my iPad Pro.
Rocks. I also don't know what rocks are.

Well, except things in the dirt.
Eh I still wouldn't want to give money to a company that's segmented itself into a "lie to the customer" branch and a "don't lie to the customer" branch. The former will poison the latter eventually.
Or rather we don't agree with the notion that companies stand above the laws of a country. The USA has insane bias towards companies to the extent they get better benefit as people and even qualify as people.
It's not a silly argument.

There is nothing special about current tax rates that say any reduction in taxes is "giving people money". In reality, you're "just taking less money from them".

> For a long time a f2.8 lens stopped down to f8 was likely to produce a better image than a f4 lens stopped down to f8--simply because the f2.8 was built better.

And at the same time it was just as likely to result in poorer pictures because of focus shift when stopped down.

You can if you're the former CEO of RadioShack.

Not saying that to be snarky, just saying there's a bit of survivorship bias involved in this story, as well as positive feedback loops in society in general. People with the same ability to be an ER physician who don't have RadioShack CEO on their application will not be seen the same, even if they're equally able.
I'm thinking to buy SE 1 while I can, even though I own 8. If I would break my 8, I'll either return to SE 1 or change to Android. I don't like new iPhones at all. I don't even like iPhone 8, I just bought it for its internals and I thought that I'll get used to big screen. Turns out, I did not.

The only good thing about 8 is that it's kind of water-resistant, so I can read books in my bath.
Don't forget a lot of your federal taxes go to financing overseas wars and other military interventions. Some of it also goes to prop up oppressive regimes; and lets not forget funding Al-Qaeda-associated Islamist fundamentalist militias.
Yeah, I think we're all pretty unnerved. And we're far from knowing just how deep this rabbit hole is going to be. (Or how shallow.)

If you look at the charts of per-capita deaths in various countries, there's not much of a pattern, in terms of places we'd think of as having "good" government and/or public health versus "bad". Belgium, for example, is the worst right now (or among them), and many European countries are doing quite badly.

My personal suspicion is that in a case like this, there isn't really that much difference in in-the-moment governing across countries.
Don't mistake the facade of customer courtesy for actual leverage or an equal power dynamic. Starbucks doesn't care at all about your opinions. You actually likely have more influence over the running of your own local government than your local franchise coffee shop.
All sovereign governments are exceptional in Schmitt's view. Our constitution grants that power to Congress specifically.

I compromised comfort and upgraded to SE after 4’s usability was consumed by unoptimized software updates.

4\S was perfection as far as ergonomics go. Timeless design. The natural 2:1 ratio was ruined in 5 by stretching in the vertical dimension. What they should have done was to expand the screen and have it eat the top bezel. They stopped pushing. Supersizing was the easy road.
Well, it's an economic use of their existing assets and resources, considering what else is currently happening, on a global basis, that's a really smart choice.

COVID-19 means that in the coming year a lot of people will have a lot less money to spend, not exactly the best time to cater to the luxury $1000+ phone sector branding yourself with exclusivity.
D70, D60... I think it's inevitable to add that I still use my D50 with a 20 years old 28-105mm f/3.5-4.5D that I bought second-hand on eBay. While I agree that "the best camera in the world is the one that you have with you right now" and nowadays we always have our phones, I encourage people who enjoy taking pictures in their phones to try a second hand camera with a good lens.

Seriously, even a beat-up one from eBay, just try! Costs way less than a new flagship phone and the difference is still amazing. And nowadays it's not difficult at all to learn how to use them decently, don't be afraid!
what makes the difference is:

- your boss is influential (politics)

- you are lucky enough to work on a high impact/ high visibility project

- you play yes man with your boss and please them

- how long have you been with the company and the political connections you have made

... quality plays a very small role in promotions ...

In all the organizations I have worked for, I expected a promotion within
the first 2 years (to then leave on the 3rd anyway :) ).

When that did not happen, I simply left and got a salary increase and +1 level anyway.

If you are lucky enough to work in a high demand field (like tech) and you are
good at it ... you are pretty much in control.

Qualified people that get s*t done are always in high demand, just make sure to
always be on the top and keep sharpening your skills ;)
So, who's the most dependable spinning rust company now?
Clockwise is an intelligent calendar assistant that will automatically move meetings to open up the most Focus Time for everyone. It also has a scheduler which will find the best time for a meeting automatically while respecting users' preferences.

The only difference I can see from the description is the meeting priority inference, which you get with a paid plan. Clockwise is currently free.
In North America are non-supermarkets and non-warehouses even 5% of grocery retail? I think that restaurants being allowed to sell groceries would've been cool. But I don't see how mom and pop grocers move the needle at all here.

I've thought a lot of VC money was extremely suspicious. These gigantic unicorns run at losses for what, a decade? Where's the value in any of this? To call this high risk is an understatement. Take Uber, for example. They're betting on self driving cars and that the populous (or politicians) allow them to operate. Mean while they've been a money hole for 11 years?

I guess Covid will be a good time to test how much of this is all hot air. I imagine those who provide or can pivot to vital services reliably will survive. These are the kinds of times where capitalism thrives, provided a majority of actors are operating in good faith.

> The thought of going through a modern tech interview process yet again so that I can do all the rest again just fills me with dread.

A couple years older than you. I was working a nice gig at a startup until November. Nice because the owners were nice, the coworkers were nice and it was an interesting embedded application involving renewable energy - so not the run-of-the-mill web app. They ran out of funding in November but there was the possibility (prior to covid-19) that they would get more funding so I didn't look around much hoping I could just go back to work for them when they get more funding and avoid having to interview again.

Of course, that's not likely to happen at this point given where the economy is at. And I still can't bear the thought of interviewing again. So I'm effectively out of tech at this point. If someone comes along and offers me a gig without the arduous interview process I'd take it, but otherwise, I think I'm done.
Here's the full original print version too:

https://archive.org/details/eu_Wired-1995-07_OCR/page/n145/m...

Wired Magazine during the years 1995, 1996 and 1997 had something a bit magical about it, the way I remember it. You could sort of feel, while reading it, that it was a harbinger of great, great things to come, both from technology in general, and the fusion of personal computing and the internet in particular. It generally was a pleasure to read the magazine in those days.
I would have trouble talking about the difference between American and French views of the law, or even speaking for all French people for that matter.

What I can say is that personally, I definitely think I live in a country ruled by law. However separation of powers means there is no single entity exercising total control on this law: the executive branch proposes changes to the law, the legislative ratifies these changes (or not), and the judiciary branch is an arbiter of what happens when the existing law meets real life situations. While the limits between the executive and legislative branches can sometimes feel porous (especially when executive and legislative are controlled by a single political party, as is the case in both France and USA at the moment), the judiciary branch always felt more insular to me from the two others, at least in my country.

Another linguistic nuance to think about: in French, we are "ruled by law " but not "governed by law". In French, "gouverner" (to govern) is something that people do, not laws.

This is a bit of a brain dump, sorry. I wish I would have more definitive answers for you.
I was hoping to find more tactical examples in the article, but isn't he essentially just promoting a more progressive, transparent, loophole-less form of taxation with usury laws sprinkled on top?
I have had no issues. Managing and maintaining preferences and defaults of GNOME actually feels easier on NixOS.
You're using a strange definition of OLAP here when it's really not tied to performance or concurrency. It only means you can send an ad-hoc query and get back results directly in response, rather than waiting on pre-computed or batched processing happening somewhere else.

Redshift and BigQuery are both OLAP products and their documentation and whitepapers state the same. The performance profiles of both are very different but that's due to the architecture. Redshift is an always running cluster of EC2 instances running their forked scale-out Postgres. BigQuery is an entirely different engine based on Dremel which focuses on parallelization as much as possible along with Google's proprietary datacenters that have petabits of internal bandwidth to support it. AWS Timestream is an entirely different product for time-series specific data, and basically

The only reason Druid is faster is because it pre-aggregates and indexes data. You can aggregate tables yourself in Redshift and use the right primary keys to get most of the same performance. BigQuery just launched materialized views and is working on scheduling improvements and in-memory caching as well. Snowflake now runs in Azure and GCP and can do sub-second responses when the warehouse is running and data is cached or the tables are smaller.

Right! And that, too, is illegal under rent control in many places (NY and California).

What's prevent you from buying K&R?

A paperbook is less likely to be lost and K&R is the more affordable reference to C rather than ISO 9899.
guessing a lot of folks who have yet to be personally affected. once they are, it'll become much clearer.
Yeah, paying a few programmers high salaries doesn't quite count as trickling down. Let's say it's extremely-limited trickle down.

> Same goes ... for all the people who have been selling me goods and services over those same years.

No, it doesn't. Unless you only buy services from VC-financed startups?
Interviewing is going to drive me from the industry. I'm skilled - I've consistently provided high value at my jobs - but I'm not formally trained (don't have a CS degree) and I don't have the time anymore to sit around grinding leetcode just so I can land my next gig.
I read this first as "Turning your Registry into FAT32" and thought... oh, no. You do not want to do that.
