I was thinking high school. I taught high school and got paternity leave of a month. Private school though.
I find myself torn on the specific instructions. It's certainly a lot more arcane than my early sites, but that was mostly because there was a whole lot of boilerplate handled by the host (Enter these details into your FTP program, put your files into public_html, start with index.html).

I didn't have any idea what Apache was, how files were served, or really anything about internet infrastructure. And that's fine, certainly good for a kid or to whip up a quick business site, but it doesn't satisfy the hacker in me today. There's too much magic going on behind the scenes for me to feel much ownership of it.

I suppose it sort of depends who you're aiming it at. TFA didn't feel to me like it was trying to approach novices (after all, it's talking about leaving frameworks and libraries behind, novices aren't much using frameworks). Your instructions are good for an easy introduction for people with no web development experience, to recreate that sense of ease, but I think it's a different thing from what the article is going for. Even a simple site requires a fair bit under the hood, because serving files isn't all that simple unless you just hide it away from the end-user.
No. There is no speed* such that going slower will decrease mileage.

* Unless we're talking about some sort of pathological edge case in a vehicle without a properly specced transmission or something, or driving an automatic so slow it's just idling against the torque converter or something.
The difference between pointers and references can easily become muddled. If you have a language with pointers that are non-nullable, type- and memory-safe, is that not high-level?

I think a good real-world example that exposes the problem in your definition is Go. Go has pointers, using them is normal. However, go does not pointer arithmetic and outside of unsafe (like Rust) they are memory safe. I consider golang to be higher level than C/C++ for this reason, and many others (GC, channels, defer, etc, etc) -- I'd also consider it lower-level because of its non-answer/cop-out to error-handling.

But what is special about pointers compared to references? If you have a language with pointers that are type-safe and memory-safe how is this distinctive?
Yes, I saw that following links from this thread, and have spent more of the morning than I should have reading it and the various threads discussing it.

I think the criticism seems valid, and it probably means I shouldn't use the book as a reply to people asking for scientific evidence (like the comment I replied to). That said, I don't think it detracts from the main argument of the book, or the main revelation for me, which is that most people don't realise how damaging lack of sleep is. I would still recommend it to a lay friend on that basis.
Saccadic Masking
Please give me a quick concrete example. What is your value system, and how are you #1 in it?
You should read The New Jim Crow.
Exactly this.

I had to use an ASUS motherboard and it took a good 10-15 minutes of poking through menus (with terrible keyboard navigation) to find the "magic rgb off" incantation.

If you happen to have an ASUS Prime Z370-A motherboard, here is the what you have to do:

boot and quickly press F2 or DEL to get into the BIOS (I had to do this more than once to poise my finger over the right key)

Press F7 to enter Advanced mode

Choose the Advanced menu (4th menu across top)

-> Onboard Devices Configuration (8th sub-menu in list)

-> RGB LED Lighting configuration (2/3 way down the page)

You have to disable both:

- when system is in working state
- when system is in sleep, hibernate or soft off states

I basically tried all obvious places, then all the menus before this one before I stumbled upon it. it was nuts.
Is the Cure Killing Us? How History Can Help Us Rethink Our Covid Response
They should ban Chrome from the Play Store because I can access non-approved Covid-19 content through it.

I say this sarcastically now, but web browsers will definitely become tools of censorship in the near future. Chrome itself will start blocking non-approved content. The Internet will no longer allow the distribution of any and all information, but only what is "approved".
I don't know, for example for me VSCode feels 1000x faster than Photoshop, which is a native app. Photoshop takes a long time to open, breaks the "Windows" keyboard shorcut, is basically slow in general. VSCode has a fast start-up time and everything in it feels responsive. I see a lot of comments from Apple users, maybe Electron works better on Windows than on Mac for some reason?

You didn't answer the question last time either. Is it, or is it not, hate speech?

Your quoted definition includes religion. You've contradicted yourself again by saying it's only immutable characteristics. So which is it?
Yeah, I just saw that in this thread, and replied to a sibling: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23230713
You are obviously arguing in bad faith. You pose the rhetorical:

> Is this the same mentality you're holding in regards to sourcehut? "It's fine that I'm building something that may be used nefariously, but when Google employees do that, they're bootlickers"?

And yet it was previously asked:

> Who is using SourceHut to build software I disagree with on ethical terms? I am not aware of such a project.

It is clear to me that Drew has declared an absence of knowledge of such malfeasence with his products.
Pandoc has worked for me.|
it literally does everything.
This is exactly my position as well. Every country in the world needs to be held to certain minimum standards.

If a country pays its workers pennies and craps all over the environment, it sucks for the people that live there, but really it's fine, they're a sovereign nation, nobody's gonna send in the troops over it.

Let's simply charge them enough to take all the money they save / make from these practices out of their pockets. If they don't pay up, the goods can't cross the border.
You mean like ChowNow? They manage stuff like that.

You do understand that the problem with food delivery isn't the online bit. It's fairly easy to manage the online bit.

Expectation management is a big issue in food delivery business - that turns people away real easy. Miss delivery timing twice and people are much more likely to drop you. Get swamped with calls - people drop you. It's a hellhole of customer service.

Building out a reliable delivery network - is not easy. The farther the delivery goes out - the more complex it gets.

Out of all - Uber has the best solution to evaluate speed of delivery using a car... and OK for bicycles.
Why can't I be better than God? Interpersonal comparisons are never particularly healthy, but I don't see how he would always come out on top. He had questionable design aesthetics sometimes, to say nothing of the often deadly implementation bugs. And that's not even getting into the choice to build things in his system that can be used for terrible, immoral purposes.
Indeed. That was not a debate worth bringing up.

If Google employees are so easily replaceable then they are grossly overpaid at present.
> * What was clear is that the success of their platform absolutely depended on applications not giving the platform a bad name.*

Yes, but I see this as Apple desiring tight control, first and foremost (as you hint at). Helping cut a potential malware problem off at the pass was a nice side benefit. I see the flow of causation in the other direction here. Apple just wanted control, because that's just how they do things. Initially they weren't even going to allow third-party apps.

This cuts both ways: while you can't distribute obvious malware on Apple's App Store, you also can't distribute perfectly benign things that people want, but Apple has decided is distasteful... to them.

> By contrast Google was deliberately creating an open platform on open sourced software.

I think that's a fairly naive view of it. They believed that open-sourcing the OS was the best way to gain market share (which worked, for all Android's fragmentation and faults). I sincerely doubt it had much to do with some desire for openness; that would contrast pretty sharply with most of the rest of Google.

> Their decision to lock down this piece was opposite the rest of the product direction.

Except they didn't lock it down! I have several apps on my phone installed via F-Droid. The Facebook Lite app used to (I uninstalled FB a couple years ago, so not sure if it's still the case) have the ability to manage and install its own updates (I assume for lower-spec/non-Google-Apps phones in developing markets). If I feel I can trust an app I download off the internet, I can install it. I have a couple of my own apps installed on the phone, without needing to pay Apple a $99 gate-keeping fee, and the software to install them is open source, not wrapped up in proprietary Xcode.

I will be the first to agree that most people don't avail themselves of this option, and an app developer who doesn't publish in the Google Play Store is kneecapping their market reach. But the fact that it's possible (and not even difficult) to do is the point. Sideloading on an iPhone is something that costs money; requires specialized skills, tools, and a particular brand of hardware; and is out of reach for the vast majority of people who (for example) would otherwise sideload on Android.

> * And it is hard to believe that they weren't looking at the demonstration of what happened with the iPhone and were trying to replicate the revenue model.*

I'm sure that was part of it, but... so what? I don't really see this as indicative of a particular mindset.

> PCG is incredibly simple as well

Yes and no. There are a lot of different functions in the PCG umbrella and that adds some mental complexity IMO. Some of the functions are very simple, including the 128-bit LCG I am referring to above ("pcg64_fast", IIRC). It is almost trivial; basically a single LoC to generate the next state and a single LoC to produce the output from that state:

https://github.com/imneme/pcg-c/blob/master/include/pcg_vari...

https://github.com/imneme/pcg-c/blob/master/include/pcg_vari...

https://github.com/imneme/pcg-c/blob/master/include/pcg_vari...

https://github.com/imneme/pcg-c/blob/master/include/pcg_vari...

Or condensed from several composed inline functions:

uint64_t
my_pcg64_fast(uint128_t *state)
{
// Multiplier: (2549297995355413924ULL << 64) + 4865540595714422341ULL
*state *= PCG_DEFAULT_MULTIPLIER_128;
// Output is XOR-condensed state rotated right by the high 6 bits of state.
return pcg_rotr_64(((uint64_t)(*state >> 64u)) ^ (uint64_t)*state,
*state >> 122u);
}

vegetarian meat (usualy from industrial satay, made with dissolved soy in whatever chemical bath) is what drives me away from pretty much every vegetarian/vegan place.

this is why opensource that is just a cargo cult to copying even the bad decisions of commercial software harms more than help.

id be fine tasting a nice indian meal made with vegetables. but instead I get gnome changing the side of the window close buttons (while at the same time removing the options dialog to change it back) just because the designer du jour liked copying osx instead of windows. it's fake-meat all over again.
This gotta be my favorite comment in the entire thread. I take three tests: PVT, a video game, SAT -- and I get accused of "just playing video games" and told to perform a broader spectrum of assessments.

Your whole post is extremely American. Why do you want to be #1 compared to anyone, let alone compared to God? You are no longer religious because your self-centric world-view is incompatible with believing anyone can be better than you, which includes God? I have trouble believing you are serious.
Hello friend,
I am not an iPhone user myself but I would like to collaborate with you on this project if possible. You can contact me at graybot666@gmail.com.

Photoshop has miles more functionality, and typically deals with much bigger data.

VS Code is also not an outlier for Electron apps, as most of them are a lot jankier, IMO.
Doordash is already 'in on it' on a whole different scale than the pizzeria, this is generating order flow and the real payoff is the next couple of hundred million dollars from Masayoshi. That's what they'll notice.
> Uber is on another different plane altogether

These are complete guesses for the pre-covid era, but it gives an idea of scale difference. The average Airbnb user probably books 2-3 times per year. The average Uber user probably books 2-3 rides per week. At 50x the volume, the infrastructure is different, and probably more complicated to handle the volume.
That's also a problem.
Read the novel Skunkworks for a fantastic account of what the engineers had to overcome.
One city can't "outstrip demand" by itself. If prices are cheaper in one city, demand will spillover from others. It's a national problem. Cities/states that do build have certainly done better, though. Compare the cost of living in Dallas and Houston to San Francisco and Los Angeles.

This isn't to say easy money and certain tax policies (like California's 2% taxable growth limit) haven't contributed to the problem, on top of zoning.
You didn't ask if they were hate speech, you asked if they were okay. I answered the question you asked, twice. No they're not hate speech.

Personally I could go either way on religion falling under the hate speech/immutable characteristic category. I see good arguments in both directions.

To humor you, we'll say that yes, it's immutable and therefore protected, since belief in a higher diety is axiomatic.
I'm just trying to say that a CNBC headline does not equal "people celebrating". If you watch it for a few days you'll see what I mean. Lately it feels like it has been "Best day since the great depression" followed by "Worst day since the great depression" every other day. They are very sensationalist.
Putting users in charge does not solve censorship problems. The majority opinion - if it is in favour of censorship - will censor competing opinions.

Public ownership does not solve censorship. See: the CCP.

Effective policing does not solve censorship. The police will be tools of whoever and whatever is funding them.

The only way to combat censorship is through decentralised and distributed platforms that are made publicly immune to takedowns, censorship, and prosecution.

It astounds me that people are happy to accept that free speech in the US only applies in public spaces, while handing over control of the best places for spreading information to private companies. What's the point in that? "Free speech only applies to public space! Private companies can censor who they want! proceeds to make sure the information superhighway is entirely owned and controlled by private companies".

But public control doesn't work either. We've already seen government around the world censoring information in the "public interest".

Decentralisation, and distributism are the only ways.
The reason you see a lot of comments from Apple users is because the system has had a consistent paradigm for desktop applications, designed by the party making the operating system, for years, which means that they have come to rely on and become used to such software. The fact that Electron breaks all of those expectations and is a horrendous resource hog to boot is an unwelcome development if you've been used to high-quality native applications for all this time.
That’s a false dichotomy. It’s likely that that are both not idiots and what they are doing isn’t necessary.

When large companies have such excess engineering power to blow, they tend to say yes to all requirements and scope creep takes over everything. So no, the engineers building the abstract framework factory are not stupid, but they should have just built the report dashboard instead of the tool to generate tool generators.
If you have to travel, should you take a plane or a car?

For those asking about video editing, don't forget about Shotcut. I keep an eye on most gpl projects in github and I see consistent updates and communication from them, on top of it really advancing in features lately. Shout out to the shotcut team.

> Compared to most other western countries, sure, Canada is on the easier side.

Our process isn't that easy; we have an immigration system that the GOP would _like to have_.

There are points awarded based on your education and training, variated against the demand for those skills in Canada. If you are being imported by an employer they must go to considerable lengths to prove that they attempted to find an existing Canadian to fill that role. And so on.

And it can be all avoided by paying approximately $800,000 to what is effectively an escrow: you get it back after a few years, less inflation.
Not only is not as responsive, but it doesn't respond "correctly" either.

I don't know, I mostly agree with you, but I disagree that a simple site requires that much. Just drop the files in a folder in some web server and you're done.
Could you link to a source about that dsp being specifically used for hand-tracking? My quick google didn't found a result that could confirm that and it would explain a bit. Thank you!
That argument really only makes sense for small companies who can't otherwise afford to develop for multiple platforms. For huge companies like slack or spotify, using electron is a cost-saving measure for them that creates an externality for end users, in the form of greater resource usage.
willingness to accept the truth has absolutely no bearing on what the truth actually is.

Many doctors think there's actually an undercount as they discover ways in which the disease can present differently than severe respiratory distress, or look at guidelines that may have led to incorrectly ruling out a case.

Of course, be sure to save some of that skepticism for ways in which a fee-for-service medical system can bend treatment large and small when this is all over.
> Another problem I've seen is people gloss over tuning a PID controller properly too.

This, a million times. My senior design project in college was building a quadcopter from scratch (including the control software)[1].

We basically built a test harness out of two poles with strings attached to the quadcopter so once we lifted it off, we could just test different PID parameters until it was stable. I think we eventually built an app to vary them in flight, which was definitely a terrible idea, and we crashed many, many quadcopters this way.

I think the answer is basically "build a simulated quadcopter with the same parameters as yours and test parameters in the simulation", but that probably would have been an equivalent senior project... IIRC, this is basically what you have to do for state-variable feedback, so it's much, much more effort than simply do what we did (especially when the cost of failure is low).

The control loop code is actually fairly straightforward [2], it was mapping what exactly the PID controller was controlling to the real world application (turning motors on and off).

>> Subjectively, I felt that I gained somewhere between 2 and 3 hours of productive time every day.

>> I found that I was able to go from “falling asleep” to “fully alert” at all times by playing video games for 15-20 minutes. I ended up playing video games for approximately 30-90 minutes a day

Does this mean the actual amount of time gained from this was 2-3 hours or do we subtract out the amount of time spent playing video games? If we subtract out the video games there is not much benefit to being sleep deprived, sometimes only 30 additional productive minutes are gained.

Hey curiousllama, I think you bring up very valid points. A few other posters have brought up one or two arguments that have some overlap so let me try to clarify where I’m coming from and post a useful response.

I don’t advocate that the individual shouldn’t bear the brunt of the responsibility. I’m trying to say that the responsibility should be _shared_ by society.

I see how the main goal of the book is indeed to focus on the individual and their drive to being “exceptional”. So for people who find themselves dissatisfied with their comfortable mediocrity, so to say, I can imagine there is some value here in solving problems and removing obstacles.

Finally, what I’m trying to say is: I think this concept can and is applied very generally to a large population that find themselves, at the individual level, at drastically different positions in the hierarchy of needs. What roadblocks are you powering through when you might not have shelter or food? When you feel unsafe? Should we dismiss those individuals’ “excuses”.

That’s what I meant by very American. The example of Ms B. Who is clearly a one in a million type success story. Should we really bother dismissing every other pressure around us because someone was somehow able to do it? We’re her children happy and healthy? Did her marriage survive? Should we all strive to be Ms B, costs what it costs, regardless of food, shelter, security, health etc.
It's great for scaling text smashing and bashing imho.
That's neat -- since it's pretty much the same way I think of self-learning.

Sometimes you need to just go read up on discrete math, or theoretical stats, or algorithms in order to level up your fundamentals. Then you get to go 'spend' that on cool shit.

I finally started learning tensorflow the other day, after ~3 years of studying math/stats (while working full time) so that I could actually reason about tensorflow (note: I'm using TF for specific purposes, for something like computer vision the level of stats I studied isn't necessary)
This sounds a bit like what a package manager can help with.
