Mac Finder

- It hangs at least every other day -- the pinwheel of death.

- It sorts files in some sort of weird non-alphanumeric order.

- There's no way to cut and paste a set of files. You have to copy them TWICE, once to an intermediate destination, then again to your endpoint.

- Right mousing on a file takes WAY too long to pop up a list of appropriate apps. This lookup should take a second at most. Adding a new app or removing an old one should update of the hash for affected files IMMEDIATELY when added and never again. This idiot check should NEVER occur on user time every time you right mouse.

- Finder should be rejiggered to publish a simple API so anyone can readily access all its constituent services. That way it'd be trivial for any power user to easily clone, reorganize, revise, and extend any/all of this obsolete malfunction-riddled 35 year old app, bringing the integration and performance of those services into the current century.

Finder has long overstayed its welcome.
That's always the case in anything colonial-like. I don't see why we should intervene though. "Autonomy" in the US means Sharia Law in Minnesota, unfortunately. We don't know how to do it well, if it can be done "well" at all.
Indeed - if anything his ego was _accurate_ - he correctly thought of himself as the smartest in the room. The question is, did his success lead to his ego, or did his ego lead to his success? I certainly do not mean to defame him - I practically worship Feynman - I've just been exploring the idea that a little bit of ego can really aid in accomplishing big tasks.

Bummer the Raptor driver doesn't have JHMCS...
Mmm yeah I dunno about that, based on experience. I'm not looking to enumerate all of my experiences, but I feel pretty comfortable saying that women can do just as much bad behavior as men. I would wonder if it's really due to the size being kept small, whatever vetting mechanism was used to admit users, or moderator tactics.

I have seen that small forums, especially for a specific purpose, tend to be mostly civil and positive. It is pretty easy for a handful of bad actors, maybe even just one, to be disruptive enough to pretty much singlehandedly destroy such forums. It seems almost inevitable once a forum grows to a certain size, but swift and effective moderator action can often nip it in the bud. Experience or good instincts may help a lot in identifying users who are just inherently destructive and booting them out entirely before they have a chance to really get going.
This is 2020's version of backward masking, book burning, etc with a new bogeyman.

The guy said he put in the product sku and got only pictures of little girls in bikinis... I thought that was seriously unlikely, so I searched the skus of the 4 that were shown in the article, and mainly I got articles about this article, and a bunch of links to pages about race cars and some electronic stuff.

If I got race cars and he got little girls in bikinis, I'm thinking our search patterns are not the same, and he needs to learn to use incognito mode.
You can hold command & drag to move files, not cut-paste but still better than having delete source destination files manually.
Not necessarily. In a reality where your missiles have a huge delta-v and acceleration advantage against the enemy, while your plane itself is deficient in energy generation and retention, supermaneouvrability might be a logical and effective option.

Indeed, if you're a Russian Su-27 that just shot off two R-77 at targets at the cost of its energy, you just forced two of your opponents to disengage and lose all of their useful energy as well as targeting opportunities, and they might even be shot down. Evading a missile is so costly in terms of energy and opportunity that getting a shot off by sacrificing your energy can be viable.

After all, if you've got a missile on your tail you're not much of a threat anymore. If there are many enemies, not only are you not much of a threat but you're soon dead.
There are economy of scale advantages to using standard protocols and hardware: the R&D is paid for by the computer industry, which is much larger than the audio industry. Many NICs have support for PTP hardware clocks and hardware time stamping, and (unlike AVB/TSN) AES67 will work with most network switches. It's also possible to implement software endpoints by pointing an RTP client at the AES67 peer (albeit, this won't be a true AES67 endpoint as it won't play out synchronously without a PTP synchronised media clock).
It's hard to state how invaluable HN is to me personally, and likely to the Internet as well. It's hard to say if the stress was worth it, but it created something really special.
Hmm. Given the broad range of topics "social Media" covers, there are vast numbers of papers on it.

For people who have NEVER thought of social networks and conversations online I find this site to discuss some of the blander but more game theoretic elements of networks/trust and therefore online conversations:

> My IntelliJ IDE is easily 100 times more functional than early text editors.

Maybe more than text editors, but I doubt it's even twice as functional as eclipse circa 2005. As slow and bloated as it was for it's time it had all the modern features and ran on machines with (I think) 128MB of RAM.
And yet, when you're "right" you can be very wrong. E.g. during a heated discussion, you really feel truly charitable, selfless and sacrificial and want to help the other party out of their self-destruction/unveil the self-deceit. You're truly rooted in absolute truth and righteousness. You're doing an excellent job inside until.. you screw up royally on the execution or picked a wrong choice of medium/channel e.g. WhatsApp to express your intentions or to render assistance. It can even be your choice of words or things beyond your control. And then it's all downhill from there. No amount of right intentions saves anyone except when it's coupled with near perfect execution.

How then do we execute our intentions (truly charitable) ones to bring about the maximum efficacy? Experience.

Sometimes, you need to take a step back to take 4 steps forward. Sometimes you need to be wrong to be right. It's like fishing/kite-flying, sometimes you need to lax sometimes you need to roll it in.

It's an art. Some can never truly master it.

AES67-2018 specifies packet times (latencies) of 125us, 250us, 333us, 1ms and 4ms. Senders and receivers may support additional packet times.
JHMCS isn't that useful in such extreme off-axis situations. A missile taking a big turn requires it to expend a lot of energy and drastically hampers its probability to hit the target.

This is great. Is there a new for Ask HN and Tell HN as well?
Though not implication, there is some reasoning to some other vacuously true statements. Take for example:

All purple cows are smart.

This statement is true, because the set of purple cows is empty. It might seem, odd, but it's because we can rephrase it as:

There does not exist a purple cow that is not smart.

When you phrase it like that, I think most people would intuitively agree that it should evaluate to true. In other words, to preserve symmetry between the universal and existential qualifiers, you need the first statement to also be true. Without the ability to transform "exists" into "foralls" would make first order predicate logic pretty much useless. In addition, if the emptiness of a set actually changed how the quantifiers worked, it would be a big problem: breaking referential transparency, if you will.

I don't recall there being a similar justification for implication in boolean logic, but I think the reasoning is similar. Hope that helps!

Killing all your energy is worth it if you get even one missile off and on target.
Ham radio is a hobby around what communication was like back in the day. There used to be no Internet, long-distance telephony was in its infancy, and radio (whether "ham" or official) was literally the only way to communicate in real-time at a distance, and those radios were relatively crude, required lots of knowledge and manual operation because digital logic wasn't advanced enough yet.

Nowadays that is no longer true. Except in very specialized applications, analog radio is not typically used for communication, and digital isn't using manually-operated radios either, it's stacks of dozens of layers that eventually end up transferring IP packets or similar.

Maybe this is an unpopular opinion, but since ham radio no longer represents how the majority of people communicate today, maybe we shouldn't be holding onto the past and instead focus on how people communicate now? Maybe IP networks should be the future "ham radio", and we should have clubs around these things instead (and existing ham clubs should embrace them, instead of siloed things like digital modes over radio which are innovative but near-useless in real-world usage)?

Even in emergency situations (which is one of the arguments for ham radio), a satellite phone/modem will get you online pretty much anywhere in the world and the only barrier is the equipment, which doesn't seem too different from a ham radio where a good set costs decent money and can't easily be built from scratch and especially not in an emergency situation.

Imagine if ham radio involved into what I described above in which case being a ham could actually give you immediate, real-world benefits to you and your community in working around bad/nonexistent ISPs by building your own infrastructure? This would bring a lot more people into the hobby because those skills allow them to solve actual problems they/their community is facing.
I mean for the Russian driver. And yes... bummer... but who can turn their neck that far? Don't forget eyeball gimbals don't count.

One piece of advice that I would like to offer is to not order wood for delivery - whether from your local hardware store or a lumber yard, etc.

You will receive the crummiest batch of warped, twisted, banana shaped boards. You're getting all of the rejected pieces that the smart people rejected.

While I typically bemoan the time I spend hand picking lumber at the lumber yard, it is always time well spent - even the high quality material (kiln dried, clear, etc.) has a very wide range of quality and defects.

It’s hard for us to believe our fancy AI algorithms that optimize for ad clicks have this massive side effects of actually manipulating what is perceived as reality and affecting their emotions.

They surface more enraging news and create echo chambers where anyone who doesn’t think like them are the enemy.
Your thesis is true, but we should keep in mind that outrage almost always comes from a perceived injuste in the world.

We have always and will always disagree about political issues. Issues that from our subjective appreciation are destroying many people's lives, so it's not surprising that we resort to all sorts of toxic behaviour in order to "help the cause", whatever it might be.

This emotional need for justice (even when misdirected) can not be discarded in the discussion about toxic behavior. Sometimes it takes the form of physical violence, sometimes it's an insult, a threat, doxxing, etc.

We should strive to channel these desires and differences of opinion in healthy ways. "just ban all heated political discussions" is a good enough workaround at the forum level, but not a noble solution to the root problem at a societal level.

Depends how much air you need to move.

For one person, a baffle of 10x 1cm sheets of plywood with a 2cm air clearance will do wonders (works out to be approx a 30cm cube with a 30x2cm slot at the front and back).

You can push ample air for one into a studio without any audible sound getting through.

>Of course I don't want to generalize, but

But you did, and it makes me sad to see the testosterone blaming stuff here.

To be honest, I do remember online communities being much nicer back then (we're talking 14 years ago here) but things have changed a lot. I feel like strong moderation and guidelines work great (see HN where discussions are mostly civilized) instead of blaming half of the world population from an individual observation which can quickly be debunked by visiting any female-only forum or subreddit in 2020 for example.
Definitely, the improvements on rustc are visible, so eventually it will reach there.

And I test it on that hardware on purpose, because I should not have to buy a top class desktop to achieve usable compile times similar to other AOT compiled languages.

However, I also admit that what is missing is having a backend that favours debug workflows, which do exist just aren't yet there.

The code has changed substantially since this was first posted, based on feedback in these threads. So it's bad now than it was when some of these comments were written.

That's definitely a good thing in terms of the quality of the code now by the way, I don't see any changes that make it worse and many make it better. But it does mean comments may not refer to the source you looked at.
> Yet Slack has massively more adoption than any previous chat app

Maybe just, by virtue of there being more internet users these days. But you're underestimating just how ubiquitous IRC was, it was near universal. Sure there was no single app that everyone used, but that was a feature. With slack we've gained a few features but regressed in so many other ways.
Sawstops are great and likely the reason I still count in base ten (I set one off in my university's woodshop years ago). The saw I was using at the time cost upwards of $10k (I was told) and the cartridges that stop the blade were ~$100 each at the time.

Even though I was using a tool with a very high tolerance for error, it was thoroughly impressed upon me that each cut I make requires consideration of the danger I am exposing myself to.

I use a $150 table saw today, and for every cut I make I run through a mental checklist to determine whether what I am going to be doing is within my own personal acceptable margin of safety, because that thing will not care one bit if my finger is in the way.

I'm all for safe tools, but my fear is that it grants a false sense of security for the user (in particular new ones), particularly when translating those skills to a new tool (another table saw in this case).

They were not the ones initially choosing to engage. I wouldn't expect them to have sound judgment or impartiality after they were attacked in the first place and fired at with a taser. Again, he absolutely didn't need to die, but he totally deserved it and the cops' reaction is understandable. If I ever attack a cop, wrestle his taser off of him, and fire at him as I run away, I'd like to, in advance, absolve the cop of all responsibility of shooting me in the back. I understand he wouldn't quote need unquote to do it, but it is totally acceptable if he does.
One way to think about radians is "feet (of perimeter) per feet (of radius)" -- the dimensional units cancel and you're left with a dimensionless unit.

Taxes are a familiar dimensionless unit -- dollar owed to the government, per dollar spent on snacks. The dollars cancel and you're left with a raw percentage. (actually, to convert to a percentage you multiply by 100 percent per whole; another dimensionless conversion)
Not to mention they all have different price points and quota limits that make deployment harder than it has to be.
> What gives you the "ticket in" is another topic

That's the primary factor which would determine the outcome. As a community, you probably want to attract currently undervalued people and help them to uncover their potential. If it's just invite-only community, I expect it to stagnate and never reinvent itself for the better.

There are a few good public forums (like lobste.rs) which require invitation to comment, and I inevitably end up ignoring them after I want to contribute to the conversation and realize it's not possible.

Kelvin Fube’s comments on HH hypocritical
I felt the same exact way trying to memorize molecular formulas in organic chemistry, being able to visualize the molecules and some outlandish pneumonics really allowed me to force my brain to make memories that I forgot over time however I gained the ability to "see" the molecules in my mind and deriving the formula became trivial.

Creating really unique pneumonics works similar to how you can recall when something happened out of the ordinary or have a "sixth" sense where you subconsciously can sense something is off in an otherwise ordinary situation or encounter. If I had to guess, this might be an evolved human survival mechanism that helped our ancestors detect and avoid dangerous/deadly situation.

I wonder what other evolutionary mechanism we can hack to encode concepts more deeply. I know spaced repetition is the mainstream approach via flashcards/ankii type apps. I think pneumonics blended with spaced repetition is the most practical methodology. Thoughts?
