Love this!

Some languages are typically taught in introductory programming courses - it's a very deliberate process aimed at explaining concepts from the ground up. JS is the opposite, people mostly learn it top-down, doing web development and being forced to use it.

And like eager college graduates need to learn it's sometimes a waste of time to optimize an algorithm, DIY JS devs can greatly benefit from a bit of theory and technical depth. Resources like this are perfect for that.

I can also wholeheartedly recommend Kyle Simpson's You Don't Know JS.
IANAE, but it seems like the "The web is for transfer of information" and "The web is for applications" ideas should be split into two separate domains. I shouldn't need an OS in order to read HN or browse a text based site.
It's not surprising about previous comments: there's not much you can meaningfully add after watching it. It floored me the first time, and I've been (just a lil' bit) disappointed about modern computing ever since!

Do we really need all these stores? They all sell useless crap no one needs, after it's been torn out of our beautiful habitat, causing immeasurable environmental, animal, and plant health damage, transported around from place to place dozens of times on diesel, only to be used once or twice and thrown away. I'm glad they are boarded up.
CPL's are typically granted at the state level, but not all states need to recognize your CPL as valid. So it's perfectly legal for me to fly from Detroit to New York with a firearm, because the TSA staff in Detroit, MI legally recognize my MI CPL.

However, the TSA agents in NY do not recognize my MI CPL. As a result when I fly back from NY to MI, I could get arrested for carrying a firearm.

Upscaling NNs already exist, but that's beside the point. This is a demonstration that no domain-specific knowledge needs to be encoded in your architecture. Manually wiring different NNs together to split a task into separate subtasks would be the opposite.

Far more interesting would be general training optimizations that could train GPT faster on any kind of task.

That's fair and the town in question is certainly on the higher end of the price scale. Though, having been involved for unfortunate reasons in Maine coastal property pricing recently, I imagine it's still a lot cheaper than downtown Boston.

I have two monitors. A 27" Apple Cinema display from 2012 that I got used in 2015, and an LG Ultra HD (4K) that I picked up last year new.

Yes, the LG is newer, 4K, has a higher DPI, etc. But I often find myself putting my most important windows on the Apple Display. The color is just so much more beautiful and vibrant, the clarity and contrast are superior, it's just so much better.

Sure, I can't fit as much code on it as the LG, but boy is it pretty. Apple definitely puts quality in their monitors. It's a shame they left the consumer market in 2016.
Also, I have to wonder if empty apartments held by investors as ‘safe deposit boxes’ will start to appear on the rental or sale markets if the value drops.

And this will have an effect on new construction: if demand weakens, construction will drop off.
I’ve never heard anyone say they love abortion. They love the ability for women to have the freedom to choose abortion, and what they want to do with their body. I also prefer “anti choice” for those who oppose others having that freedom.
It's not just Chinese laws, Zoom has shutdown accounts of Chinese dissidents who are residing in California.[1] This seems like more than just complying with local laws; it's actively supporting the policy of a government upon people who do not even live there.

If I were a renter right now and in an urban area with a lease renewal coming due, I'd 1000% call the mgmt co's bluff.

Context: my firm provides back office services to 50k+ rental units across the nation and unless you're in some oddly hot market, most mgmt companies currently are holding their breath that their renters don't say anything and renew at the same price.

If you're reasonable, you can easily negotiate a price drop and the mgmt co will most likely accept it begrudgingly because they do not have the data to call YOUR bluff. every mgmt co right now is taking whatever they can get and locking it down for as long as they can.

happy to respond to individual folks questions but keep in mind that any advice I may provide is not legal nor financial and I guess I should say my posts/comments are my own and do not represent my company's. =)
> These aren't symptoms of "doing it wrong". This is just plain jane software engineering.

To use author's example, let's assume 2 scenarios.

Processing 4M records:
1) client side
2) server side via network API over the wire

One will be faster than the other. Not sure which one, but the slower one is what I would call "wrong."
Enterprise support is the usual answer, and it'd probably work pretty well for Zoom given how many enterprises are already willing to pay Zoom for said support.

How is the data shocking in the current climate?
An A-Z character string written inside random page a book stored at a relative's house is a super easy way to secure a physical backup of your private key. You could even get clever and encrypt the key using some memorable passage of another book. Since the book passage is unknown to anyone else and be selected from a near infinite pool of paragraphs from the entirety of all published books, it would be impossible for someone to bruteforce even if they found the book where you stored the encrypted key. This would be an easy enough process to generate the ciphertext and store it in the event that you totally lost access to all of your electronics, online accounts, and home.
I personally choose not to send client hashes into untrusted environments. I’d maybe consider EC2 with client permission, but not other dodgy services.
It's very tangential but what is the device shown next to the drive in the first picture? https://media.amazonwebservices.com/blog/2020/snowcone_jb_st...

I assumed it was here to give a sense of the relative size of the drive, but after staring at this picture for two minutes I genuinely have no idea what it is.

Actually at first I even wondered if that was the drive, since it's vaguely more in the shape of a snowcone than the drive itself.
> In comparison, you can happily ignore `err` in Golang and continue with an invalid `value`.

I'm struggling to envision a Result type that requires you to be more explicit than `foo, _ := fallible()`. Seems like `fallible().Ok()` and similar are strictly less explicit.
>Section 230 protections should come with some sort of obligation to allow free speech. [...] Does anyone have a good proposal [...] and values free speech?

Nobody has a good proposal because every discussion about the idealism of "values free speech" is always hiding the true difficulty: nobody wants to be forced to pay for others' undesirable speech.

E.g. Youtube can't be a "free speech" platform because advertisers have free will and can choose to not pay for it. (Previous comment about Adpocalypse: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=23259087)

Always mentally translate "create a website that allows free speech" into "create a website that forces others to always pay for undesirable speech they don't agree with" -- and you will see that's a virtually impossible dream to accomplish. There is no broadcasting medium (including websites) in any country that doesn't have interference and pressure to remove/ban content via consumer boycotts, advertisers, subscribers, business judgement, or government officials.

Websites have the hard reality of requiring cpu/disk/bandwidth and they all cost money and that's the lever used by others that keeps "absolute free speech" from getting realistically implemented.
Forcing divestiture by institutional money of petroleum investments? Love it.
Great replies thank you. I’ll get to it: Had highly addictive substances in mind. And agree our system is forcing that money south. Obviously not all of it comes from MX.

Next step isn’t clear re highly addictive drugs. Yeah 50 steps from now of people want to do whatever and law enforcement gets out of the way and we can provide those people solutions to get off drugs or exist on them without turning to crime? Something like this. The ‘highly addictive’ is a key feature which I feel sad about. Some of those substances are as hard to get away from has asking someone to unlearn English or Physically stop opening their eyes for the Rest of Their lives. Like literally the analogies are really far more appealing than kicking those habits, quite nearly 2nd handedly certain.

We have a lot of stuff to complain about , and everything needs to be torn apart and rebuilt. But social cause and international crime - falling into the hands of highly successful corporate thinkers (us) where we have a bias for action and are better than insulated from unseen errors but encouraged to rage forth and develop and experiment and invent. Only here from everything I have read, 1) Agree with the need 2) but we have no fucking clue what we’re doing

Please share stuff to read if anything comes to mind. I’m especially interested in learning about better understood insights on action here (non of this refers to immediate action on racism/police) but more about homelessness, drug policy.

It's really not a big change. The rent on the market is the visible marginal rate and skews upwards because of locations that are way above their market rate being not taken for a long time.
Ask HN: How much should I realistically expect for selling do.pe?
I bought the 4 letter domain do.pe ~10 years ago now when I was a way more into smoking Cannabis than I am today.

Never turned it into anything than a couple of side projects and it's been sitting vacant ever since. (Shoot me, I know, I hate squatters too... but I am too poor now to just let what I assume to be worth a few bucks expire and go back into the registrar pool... they'd probably just auction it off if I did that anyways)

I've been wracking my brain for months now trying to figure out what to do with it and I keep coming up with nothing so I figure I may as well sell it.

A) How should I go about doing that? Throw up a sales page with contact information on the domain? List it with sedo/similar?

B) How much should I realistically hold out for in terms of price for this domain?

I am not a domain broker... never sold a domain name in my life... so I honestly have no idea how to even price it.

I had an offer of $10k USD a few years ago which came directly through my email registered to the domain WHOIS.

I turned it down because I still had hopes and dreams of using it back then but I no longer do.

Probably should have taken it... :/

Any insight you can provide would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks for reading.

That's interesting. My personal reasoning has been that insurance is a bad deal unless either:

1. you believe you are at higher risk than the typical person buying the insurance (or more practically, that [cost of insurance] < [payout amount] * [likely of payout]).

2. the outcome you're insuring against would otherwise be financially ruinous (e.g. life insurance on family breadwinner, homeowners' insurance on expensive house)

>As an initial experiment, we will fund about 5 companies.

This is the most telling line in the whole thing. Why? Well, for n=5 to be a useful experiment, the success rate would have to be... way higher than 1 in 100 or even 1 in 10! They're practically asking for people who want to open fast food franchise locations.

Ask HN: How do you navigate being assigned to uninteresting projects?
I work as a sort of scientific programmer and am well paid for what I do. However, when I joined the (medium size) firm, I was assigned to a project that is somewhat interesting but ultimately unrelated to what I'm both good at or interested in. I figured that I should learn these new skills and it would get more interesting over time, but it's mostly led to a lack of interest in work and envy of my coworkers who are in groups that work on "sexy" projects.

I asked about transferring, but I got the impression it would "reset" me experience-wise, and didn't seem guaranteed to give me interesting work. On the flip side, I have a great boss who I am reluctant to leave because that's pretty rare.

I'm sure this is a common feeling. Is this just a case of "the grass is always greener" or should I consider finding something new? How do you navigate these kinds of questions for yourself?

That’s not true—I have been impacted. Others I’ve been in touch with have also been impacted.
FB political ads don't seem to be the root cause of their radicalizing influence. My understanding is that it's more related to how their algorithms push more and more extreme pages and groups.

A relatively non-partisan person who likes a news article about gun rights gets pushed news and pages that promote more conservative viewpoints, and those pages lead to fringe ideas, conspiracy theories, and the groups that promote those ideas.

Trump/Biden ads seem less problematic than memes about vigilante justice against minorities that float around FB.
"Tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth."

Only the 3rd one is lying. You can still leave a completely misleading impression by telling partial truths.
I’d be willing to bet this breaks down more along partisan lines.

Blue, urban centers will allow WFH for white collar employees, but big corporate places in red and purple states will force people back into the office, even if more get sick and die. This is how the reopenings are already playing out across the country.
Hashcat has far better performance, unsure if jtr supports ‘rules’ (eg add ‘1!’ Suffix to each word - bashcat has many rules like this).

Hashcat is a pita for quick jobs so JTR is better if you’re teaching a class of unequipped students.

I’ve never had hashcat work out of the box at all, either driver issues or it exits because it overheats my GFX. When it is running it is very, very good though.

I think you're spot on with many people believing it's time to get out.

I'm on the younger end of the age cohort that where people typically think to begin their move out to the suburbs, if they plan to move at all, and from what I've seen given the pandemic it has accelerated that decision for some simply because of the indeterminate length of time we won't have access to that cultural relevance and social experience that only a city like NY can provide.

I personally joke that the city and I have come to an agreement just to be friends as it works better that way. I've never had that in love feeling with NYC and it has been really good for my career and interests but without those benefits, I don't really want to stay and I'm finding that many people who like me aren't in love with the city but found it beneficial are moving up their timelines to get out.

Combine that with the price increases, unless you're in tech or finance you can't really afford to live in the city any way you're generally relegated to the styx so what's the difference between a 40minute commute from the edge of Queens or a 40minute commute in from Connecticut when you can save more.
Change is inevitable. What's awesome now might be crap in the future and today's garbage might be the future's treasure.
Something I haven't seen in the comments here and I think is a significant factor is share price/company valuation (at least, for public/VC-owned companies). Executive management knows that any information shared with employees will absolutely be in the trades before the meeting is over. With that in mind, they can't just come out and say, "Well, our numbers aren't looking healthy right now and I'm concerned about the next quarter" because it results in 'FooCorp CEO "concerned about next quarter"' hitting the news. That both produces a short-term problem (it tanks the stock) but it also creates a potential self-fulfilling prophecy: you're concerned about next quarter's numbers, investors become concerned about next quarter's numbers, customers become concerned about next quarter's numbers, and now next quarter's numbers look even worse!

As a result, there's a strong incentive to keep your mouth shut about anything remotely negative until it's too late for it to affect anything significant, and then to release it in as positive-spin a manner as possible to minimize the effects. Hence, layoffs are spun as "restructuring to make the company leaner and focus our efforts". It's not that I think you can't be honest in presenting information like this to employees, but I do think we need to temper our expectations about the messaging from C-level execs, because Wall Street definitely does not reward radical honesty. (Maybe it should, but that's a whole different kettle of fish.)

Yup. That was of course a big reason I incorporated, but Apple's EULA on its own (and probably the play store's too) is likely sufficient protection for many indie devs. (Many thousands of indie devs launch profitable apps without incorporating.) Anyway, I'm not blaming anyone, I just think that step of mine may have been premature.

War is where "heros" are made! :)

We always need an "enemy" to motivate us to become "heros".

It is part of the culture. Certainly it is not restricted to government. In American business the "war" themes are extremely popular.

However, this sort of thing is everywhere if you are looking for it, embraced by people of all ages from all walks of life, and certainly in places other than the US. I remember when I first starting reading about cryptography and wondering why they kept using the word "attack". Or even something like software not being released/distributed/installed, but "deployed".

It is interesting how this seems to escape the focus of the political correctness language revisionsists.

So take my challenge. Give me an example of your BS filter in action.
This doesn't add anything. You get the same protection in Go with pointers. For example, a `*T` can't be passed to a function taking a `T` without explicitly dereferencing it. The problem of course is that the type system doesn't guarantee that the pointer isn't nil when you go to dereference it, similarly your `Option<T>` doesn't guarantee that the option.Value is set correctly. You need sum types to provide this substantial guarantee.
