Personally doing great but also recognizing that many have had a difference experience with it. These things have helped me a ton:

(1) Limit time reading "news" and social media - it's not inherently bad, but there's enough of a gloom glut to depress anyone. Set a timer if you need to.
(2) Force yourself to have good daily routines (especially the big 3: eating, sleeping, and exercise - don't have to go extreme on any of them, just don't let them get too out of whack)
(3) Brighten someone's day, every day. A small act of service, a phone call, etc. - doesn't have to be big.
(4) Go outside, anywhere will do, though time in a forest or in the mountains is hyper therapeutic.
(5) Pray. Even if you don't consider yourself religious, you might be surprised what it does to you. If you can't bring yourself to pray per se, at least try to still your mind and meditate for a bit each day.
The more popular it is, the more worried I am it'll be shut down... I have very strong mixed feelings about seeing Sci-Hub linked from here :/
My understanding is that the virtualization Apple provides is only for the same architecture as the host OS. In the demos given running Debian, they run uname -a and it reports aarch64
The wet bulb temperature is when your body can no longer cool with sweat. This is the same for everyone and is a relation between humidity and temperature. This is basically a physical thing and is the same for everyone. It means your body temperature will just go up until it reaches a point where you can no longer survive.

Of course there's still differences on how much that matters. A healthy person can sustain a longer period of time with a slightly elevated temperature. A person with health problems may have issues much earlier. But in the end... with wet bulb temperature noone can survive without external cooling for longer periods of time.

Vector is super generic, not so great. Its also think of Mathy which may scare some people off.
Most of them have gone already - e.g. https://github.com/matrix-org/go-neb was the first ever Matrix Bot, and https://github.com/matrix-construct/construct is a C++ homeserver...
Now "email" is synonymous with "Internet E-mail over SMTP" which was not always the case by any stretch of the imagination.

It used to be there were many systems/protocols and even self-hosted in isolation email systems and bulletin boards. Some still operate to this day, though mostly delivered over the internet, but through different channels than general SMTP internet email.

That said, email is a better term than matrix, but any other term still wouldn't be the same meaning... "matrix protocol" vs "smtp" might be more narrow/accurate.

Would you also like being hellbanned on HN?
Which is less than ideal if you're using x86 servers since you no longer have the same dev containers as production containers.
None of this makes sense to me. Water is still extremely cheap. Prices should go up in drought-prone regions they mentioned (eg Austin) to help incentivize reduced water use.

If you're paying $100/m it means you're using too much water. If you can't afford that use less. Excluding laundry I currently use less than 5 gallons a day between myself and my dog. It's not hard to do.
Ask HN: What project/team-based developer metrics do you track?
Metrics such developer frequency, mean time to restore service, etc.

Curious to hear of other metrics being used and how they've proven useful.

Cheers!
It would be tricky: constraint solving is a single-threaded algorithm, so the best option might be to run the broad-phase, and then break the scene down into islands of disconnected bodies for parallel constraint solving.

The problems are that:
1) There may not be enough islands to make full use of the available threads.
2) For many frames there might be a single island which is particularly expensive to solve, so the benefit from parallelisation is reduced.

The broad-phase itself might benefit significantly from parallelisation though.
That would mean spending 2 weeks to decide to buy a new camera lens, and a month to buy a car.

If I crash my car I have about 2 weeks to make a decision about replacing it because I can't expect the insurance to pay for a rental car forever. My family has one car and we live on a farm, so it is not a decision of "do I want to buy a car or a particular car?" but rather a process that privileges expediency as opposed to cost.

I know families that have 3 or 4 cars and trucks and they are never in a hurry to buy a car, they take advantage of sales and it is a different experience.

A retired agronomic economist who owned the building I worked in bought a Corvette for $30,000 (at least half off) during the 2008 crash because the Chevy dealer needed the cash and he didn't.

Sometimes you have to strike when the iron is hot in a case like that and that is what I do with the camera lenses. I almost always buy used and refurbished and I know if I wait long enough I will get a good deal.
It almost like Python vs Haskell. In theory you can solve the same problem with either. In practice approach would be very different. Same can be said about Ansible vs CFEngine - you can automate infrastructure with either but approach is substantially different.
Defections. Electeds will happily maximize their own personal power at someone else's expense. There are many examples of getting opposition support for inequity in exchange for safe seats.

People outside of (partisan) politics don't often get to see that the party orgs and the politicians are usually in conflict. More so on the left than on the right.
It makes me wonder if, in 50-100 years, plastics will be the "lead paint" of my generation.

Plastics are undeniably useful, but it does seem like the unforeseen consequences might be too large to ignore at this point. I just hope that it doesn't have neurological problems.
Everything has to happen somewhere, even online things, and GIS is they way to analyze it.
Started off wonderful, went into nose dive, now picking up again.

It's hard living with someone during lockdown, especially when you're used to getting "alone time". You start feeling trapped. But that's something you can resolve with your own self, and talking about it with your SO helps a lot.

Additionally, I realized just how much work depresses me. What I enjoyed were the lunches and the laughs, not the daily meaningless grind and annoying people. And when you WFH it's so easy to just immerse yourself in stuff you actually care about and interests you, and forget all about that stupid 3rd party service you need to integrate into your system. But then, of course, you need to make up for lost time which creates a certain amount of pressure. And the urge to tell people to fuck off over video is so much greater than in person, maybe because they are too less polite and understanding because of w\e they are dealing with.

Sadly by tradition standalone dynamic libraries on macOS end in "lib", as in "dylib" or "jnilib", unless there is a good reason to not do so (pam, for example).
Fukushima did not. Check out the Netflix documentary Inside Bill’s Brain. The last episode discusses nuclear tech, and was rather enlightening to me. Fukushima was discussed, and I learned a lot about why that happened.
Understanding apparent paradoxes seems like an important place to start.

The best history/government teacher I had in school had a recurring throughline for our classes. Paraphrasing: "It is better, in the long run, to be for something than against something."

To be against something is to highlight a problem. To be for something is to offer a possible direction for the future.
The difference between left right and right wing movements is that the right has sort of agreed on an outer bound for how far right is too far. It looks something like political/national racial purity. Once people start spouting that, they tend to be removed from polite conversation. There is no similar outer bound on the left. There is nothing you can support that's so far left you will be expunged from polite society.
This looks fun. I can't imagine it being directly useful but the idea itself is fun.

Couple of immediate issues with the repo:

- Sample output in the README should not be prefixed with a "$". That's only for the shell command prompt.

- Use ``` blocks in your README file. It's easier to format multi-line text.

- Don't use $RANDOM, it's not secure. Use mktemp: https://github.com/alcover/runc/blob/73aaecea5a4cd357f7172dd...

I've seen some. Usually when the non-positive post is something substantive as opposed to a hot take.
Things are pretty decent for me.

When the decision was made to work-from-home, I just used my work laptop. A few days later I drove to the office and grabbed my monitors, keyboard, mouse, and various other odds-and-ends. I now have the same setup at home as I did at work. I already had a home-office set up, so all I really had to do was shuffle things around to make room for all of my work stuff.

I did have to buy some stuff to make the home office more usable though. I've added a keyboard tray, cheap portable air conditioner (my home office is west-facing, so afternoons can get quite toasty), and a cat hammock for the window. Of all of those, the cat hammock was the biggest boost to my productivity since it keeps the cat off my lap/keyboard.

I went from an open plan office with 250 people (across probably a dozen departments) to my own private office with a window that opens. My commute went from about 2 hours per day on public transit to about 1 minute per day. I haven't had to buy lunch (or been tempted by vending machines) in over three months. I can open a window and smell freshly cut grass and hear birds chirping.

Socially, I'm actually keeping in touch with friends slightly better than I was pre-lockdown. On the other hand, I'm not seeing friends in person as much as I used to and I'm not walking nearly as much as I used to - these things are slowly taking a toll. My volunteer gig also completely shut down, I really miss that.

I'm not looking forward to going back to the office. I'm not looking forward to wasting 10 hours per week sitting on a bus. Actually, the chances of me being willing to take the bus when there isn't a vaccine available are pretty slim, so that will turn into about 8 hours per week of driving, not to mention the added costs of gas, maintenance, insurance, and possibly parking - none of which I'm looking forward to. My current car is a pig on gas, which is fine since I'm not using it for commuting, so I may need to replace it to make driving to work even a little bit reasonable.
I was going to post, "that's too bad, there's already an excellent one out there." Yep, this is how I learned regex. In fact, I don't even worry about forgetting regex, since 10 minutes on this and I have most of what I need.

Don't have a lot of time to respond now, but will try to do it later. Just a quick note. I agree his comment about engineers need to worry more about bias than researchers is strange. But in my opinion it wasn't the focus of what he was tying to say.

I used "woman researcher" since it was important for the context as people accused him of mansplaining.
Don't design your software for future features you might need. Design it to be easy to change. This means it has to be decoupled and simple. The trick is to make the software decoupled without making it complex. Adding layers and interfaces and abstractions is the easy way to achieve loose coupling, but it also adds complexity. Making software that's simple while still being easy to change is much harder than making some layer lasagna.
Docker already runs fine on ARM64, like on Raspberry Pis, so there would be no Rosetta translation needed for ARM64 images. If Rosetta could translate binaries in x86/AMD64 images, that would be very helpful indeed.

Likewise, will it support CLI programs at all?

I mean you're correct--an alternative explanation would be that the baseline sample in 1970 was already in "austerity." That's why I compared it to the London system.

Possibly a cliche response here, but take heart: the fact that you're a recognized high performer, with a family and is able to afford therapy puts you well ahead of the vast majority of humanity. Hope you'll bounce back soon.
Docker on ARM will work, Docker for x86 will not. The State of the Union showed a demo of Hypervisor.framework with Parallels, and they made it clear that Debian AArch64 was running (uname -a). Since Docker runs inside a VM on the Mac, it'll have to be an ARM VM with ARM containers.

(Presumably, running docker build with your Dockerfile will make it work just fine, unless you need x86 specific libraries).
Yeah. I predict a sudden increase of ARM servers as well.
That sounds rough, man. Your post resonates with me because I struggle to work for Big Tech too and I find that smaller customers get stuck on my hourly rate without considering the productivity gains.

The problem with shorting a company that you believe is committing fraud is that you cannot do it alone.

You need to convince the rest of the market that the company is fraudulent - and that is a very expensive and complex process.

...but it does illustrate the value of short contracts in finance. They incentivize investors investigating and raising the alarms for the rest of the market. This company was particularly aggressive in defending themselves publicly, so it didn't happen until their market valuation was high enough to make it worthwhile for the big shorts to come in and crush it.
Big brands don't want to be advertised on r/watchpeopledie but probably have no issue with being advertised on r/relationshipadvice which is almost entirely a sub about controversy and thus drives clicks and revenue.

Climate models have a well-understood track record.

Judging the utility of models is useless if you don't prepend them with a range of certainty.

Anyone who knew about pandemic models knew from the start that there's a lot of unknown underlying variables, and thus initial models made too many assumptions.

Climate models have been running for decades of fine iteration, with fairly well understood limitations.
I think that decision was worse than a sign that they have given in to market forces. They have given in to internal activists who have no desire to learn, think, or report the truth, merely use the paper as a weapon for social change.
Feeling this. We have a 1.5 yo, not potty trained, the infinite loop of food in/out is a suck on productivity. He also doesn't understand why we can't play with him. Before Covid, we were pretty firmly against screens for him. Now he's a straight up couch potato, first thing in the morning he looks for the remote instead of wanting breakfast :( Yesterday, with much covid related hesitation, we put him back in day care. His original day care still is closed so we had to find a new one, luckily only 2 minutes from home.

The flip side is, I feel blessed to have spent a ton of quality time with him and realized how little time we spent with him in a pre-covid hustle and bustle world. I've been wanting to downsize our lifestyle for a while and now my wife is finally seeing why and possibly on board. I'd like to sell our real assets and move to the beach somewhere and basically retire early / maybe do low volume consulting. I don't know if I can totally sell her on leaving the US, but getting closer. I really love this place, but it's freaking toxic. I do a good job of ignoring new media, but lately it's been impossible. I know the upcoming election is going to be a last straw that makes me say F this place, but I have to convince the fam too.

I don't work remote very well. For above mentioned reasons, home = family/life, office = work, and I have partitioned my life this way for ever and it's very hard to make the change to WFH. Luckily, I'm a little older have saved enough and could likely retire now. But not by our normal QOL standards so best part of this thing is getting my wife to stop shopping and we aren't eating $100 meals on weekends. Hanging out at the park, swimming pool, etc. has been fun to have lowkey entertainment.
Why compare with Seattle?

Also just because Seattle gets more, does that mean its not worthwhile to have higher wages in UK? What kind of reductionist point of view is this?

It has been clearly observed that the standards of living and wages have gone up in countries that have invested in tech over last 20 years. These countries are USA, India, China and Canada recently. Don't you want higher than what you are getting now? Make it easy for industry to survive and operate there.
I am genuinely baffled how Scott Alexander's post has turned into hundreds and hundreds of comments on cancel culture, as if it was anything near the #1 reason why he'd be in danger if his name was revealed.

Being famous is dangerous in every era, doubly so in an era where anybody unhinged basically has access to the same level of information you used to need a private investigator to get.

Tim Ferris said it well: "The point is this: you don’t need to do anything wrong to get death threats, rape threats, etc. You just need a big enough audience." [0]

I'm amazed by the daft things people believe about Covid. The best thing a foreign power could do to take out a nation would be to get them to fight among themselves, and there is fighting all over the place, from memes to counter memes, to riots in the streets.

I just can't tell if foreign agitators helped it along, or if it didn't need any help.
I thought this was the most interesting paragraph.

> What Can't Be Translated?

> Rosetta can translate most Intel-based apps, including apps that contain just-in-time (JIT) compilers.

I guess translation of JIT compiled stuff implies this isn't a once of translation. I guess translating plugins implies that too.

It sounds like very clever stuff to me!

> However, Rosetta doesn’t translate the following executables:
>
> Kernel extensions

Fair enough

> Virtual Machine apps that virtualize x86_64 computer platforms

I guess most VMs rely on hardware virtualization which would be tricky to translate well.

> Rosetta translates all x86_64 instructions, but it doesn’t support the execution of some newer instruction sets and processor features, such as AVX, AVX2, and AVX512 vector instructions. If you include these newer instructions in your code, execute them only after verifying that they are available. For example, to determine if AVX512 vector instructions are available, use the sysctlbyname function to check the hw.optional.avx512f attribute.

These sound like they should be relatively straight forward to translate. I wonder why they didn't? Lack of time? Or perhaps because translating them means that they don't run fast enough to be useful and the fallback paths are likely to run quicker.
Alas, that appears to have died way back in 2014 [1].

I remember the first time I used that, however -- it seemed like absolute magic.

From the known risks, yes, but the unknown risks seem to possibly include biodiversity collapse and other terrible things. I think we can remain cautious either way, keep using plastic for food where it is necessary and reduce other plastics elsewhere.

I hope so too but we had this in different forms since the early 80s already (maybe earlier) and it never got big for some reason.

I've been sitting on GitHub sponsorship setup for htmx, but this motivates me to get that done. It would be amazing to work on a passion project and get paid for it.

Is there a good term which distinguishes a general-purpose OS (Unix, Windows, Plan 9, etc) from operating systems like Android, iOS, Windows RT, etc? The term "operating system" is being overloaded to ship systems which are really more of a graphical shell than a classical operating system. The moves to lock down operating systems, ostensibly made for "security" reasons but conveniently centralizing power and authority with the vendor at the same time, are being marketed to consumers as the same kind of product as a conventional operating system while in fact being profoundly different.
I’d prefer tiered billing. The first X gallons/day cost $x, then it goes up.

That way you subsidize sanitation, but charge for washing your car or watering your lawn.

Many places have complicated programs to do that in reverse (get this credit for removing your lawn or this tax credit for a new washing machine).

California lets you run your washing machine drain into your backyard without a permit, that’s one regulatory way to reuse gray-water. If gray water reuse requires $hundreds-$thousands in permits and plumbers, people won’t bother.
I learned this in college. I was head of an organization that supported a lot of activities around sports and I was interviewed by the school paper.

Had a nice conversation and then the story came out. He used 2 sentences from a 30 minute conversation to insert out of context in a piece totally unrelated to what we were talking about.

I’ve been on guard ever since.

Strange, somehow i find it easy to read long treads using this. I am usually lost otherwise :)
Whenever there is a faulty complex system (economic, civic government, other) people insist we need an entirely new system. But if you design a car with faulty brakes, you don't invent a brand new car. You fix the brakes.

It doesn't seem immediately obvious how we could change a market economy to resist negative externalities, but I think it's the best solution (especially when the system is well studied).
