If he was as lazy as I am, there wouldn't be a joe rogan podcast to listen to to begin with. So I'm thankful that there are not just people like me that mostly consume instead of produce.

IMO it's good to be aware of the effects of my actions (or inactions) on my future. If I didn't had the occasional reality check that the things I deeply enjoy is a complete waste of time, then I may lose track of the things I have to do to maintain that lifestyle.

And that is mostly what Joe Rogan tries to say with such statements. Do whatever you like, but don't destroy your future. If gaming all day drives you into a dead end, that may be a problem worth addressing when there is still time to turn the ship around.
It has been fixed. Thanks for pointing it out.

> By no means can a 'large' chunk of the population afford $2,500 up front plus $60/month.

Where did you get $60/mo from? GP mentioned $50 which is also off base... A peloton sub is $13/mo. The only way you could pay $60/mo is if you’re financing the bike.
I mean, if you’re talking about checked iterators... that’s checked in Rust too.

I am 100% Windows, but don’t triage these issues often enough to suggest tools; the unsafe code I write tends to be small and pretty obvious. (More like “write to this register” than “here’s a complex data structure.”)

> this organization is also going after cartoons.

Are they devoting substantial resources to that? I can see an argument maybe for the law criminalising non-photographic images so someone can't argue images were computer generated when they are in reality probably real. It isn't exactly in line with the assume-innocent principle but people get angry about skirting child abuse so I can see the pendulum might be tilted a little the other way on this issue.

If they are actually going after cartoons that seems pretty stupid. There are real problems in the world they could be working on. Like, say, child abuse.
Ok Zoomer on Product Hunt
Ok Zoomer!

Redefining the way people meet... because love is for everyone.

Introducing OKZoomer,
a matching service that connects college students to new friends or potential partners.

OkZoomer started as a Google Form posted on an Ivy League meme page. We went viral, attracting close to 2,400 students at over 170 colleges and universities across the United States in only two days!

Now we're working on a platform to help people connect with individuals that they may never have crossed paths with. We want everyone to have the chance to meet someone new! And we want to do everything in our power to find you a great match!
Great, but “don’t roll your own auth” should still be the default. I’ve seen far too many awful login systems at any level that I’d really prefer if NO ONE rolled their own, especially no single unsupervised developer.
Owning and using a rice cooker is such a time saver that I am often surprised that it's not a staple in other peoples' houses (though much of that is a cultural thing,I eat rice basically every single day)

It's like Americans and not owning a kettle. Boggles the mind, but I suppose they don't drink as much tea as I do ...

On the topic of _which_ rice cooker to buy, the answer is simple: the rice cooker was perfected years ago, with its double pot single button (on-off switch) operation. Anything else is a gimmick and not worth paying extra for.

You keep using the word facts. It doesn’t seem like you know what it means.

As to your username, it’s not a PC issue. It’s just juvenile to the point where combined with your overall ignorance means there is no reason to take anything you say seriously. I hope some day you grow up.
I experience some sort of an illusion of existence. Then I look at other creatures that look like me and act like me and I generalize, I say: maybe they exist the same way as I do. Then I hear from others that the generalization seems to be called "counsciousness" or sometimes "self-awareness". It's paradoxical because "I" doesn't exist the same way as a rock or any object and yet its continuity creates a resemblance, an illusion of existence.

Try to think of your exact quantum copies - what happens the moment you are cloned? What happens to your "I"? Nothing. The "I" never existed in the first place and therefore nothing happens to it when it's physically copied ;) That's the paradox.

This seems to really be a pattern with Amazon. Their sweet spot is doing Zero to One by watching what goes off and then leveraging their size for a Second Mover Advantage.

Once something sticks to the wall, they are absolutely ruthless at getting it to product-market fit and commercial success, but interestingly enough, they stop there and all further development is merely iterative. They usually have some of the first decent and usuable products in any market, but tend to go for full commercial exploitation and pure maintenance mode from there.

Redshift used to be an absolute game changer for the Big Data market (I still remember their 1 TB for under 999$/month claim to this day), but Snowflake or BigQuery are just much better products this day and they never made the architectural shift from the client/server based architecture.

Prime Video is an absolute success story despite their awful interface, UX and crappy metadata, just because they got a grip on the hardware, smartly cross-sold it and bought / produced some good & free content.

I could go on and on, but it seems to be company core DNA to stop at 80/20. Whether that's a good thing or not, I'm still unsure.
Yes, the basic traits that lead to video game addiction are actually beneficial in most real-world scenarios:

Identifying challenges, focusing on them, engaging in behavior that overcomes them, persisting in that behaviors until signs of success manifest, and then feeling rewarded by these signs of success.

These are all traits that really do tend to lead to skill-building, self-improvement, and success when applied in REAL contexts.

The problem with video games is that they create an ARTIFICIAL context to exploit these traits. It's not you who improved your fighting skills by mindlessly mashing that button 20,000 times - it's your avatar, a fictitious being. But games are set up so that you will feel the sense of accomplishment.

Games is conditioning our generation to gain the rewarding sensations of fitness, self-improvement, and survival success from trivial activities that are merely dressed up to appear challenging and "masculine".

How do you see that happening? What if the barriers stopping them is the hangover from 100s of years of systematic bias (like generational wealth not existing for many black people)? What if it's overcoming the subconcious biases that people have about how people in a field should look, talk, and act?

The problem with DDR is that holding onto the bar is accepted competitively. I didn't know that when I played, and as the ignorant scrub[0] I was I got good enough to pass a 10-footer without touching the bar. That certainly required a high level of coordination. But it was also doing it wrong, and I think it's a failure of game design that the correct way to play is essentially just tapping buttons with your feet.

We had a guy nicknamed jellyfish. He was responsible for crafting a frontend to the university's remote education system in flex and connect it to flash media server. After six months of "coding", he was asked for a demo and all he did was to showcase one of the existing products. After getting fired, he sued the university and got back in to get a few more paychecks before leaving. He was excentric, drawing role playing swords and printing entire books that he never read.
I'm adding 2.4 Ghz WiFi only on a $250 device in 2019 and a browser which is permanently 'experimental'.

May be the browser is not being used by many hardcore Kindle users, but Hacker News on my Kindle Oasis is a delight to use(if the attached URLs went easy on JS, Looking at you TechCrunch); Especially when I was bedridden after a surgery and Kindle was one of the few devices which worked for my accessibility needs.

It feel having 'experimental' tag on the browser is like 'If you keep using this browser, instead of buying books from us, we'll pull the plug anytime'.

Does... interest stop being a factor? They gave an x-year loan for $1000 at x% APR (was it subprime?). Also, penalties. Collections can go after you for the full amount. They buy it from the bank for the original $1000+.

Or, the loan hasn't defaulted yet. The bank suspects it will. They load it into a bundle, get it highly-rated, sell the bundle. They make a profit. A whole bunch of other people get hosed.

>Clearly the banks don't have an interest in selling fraudulent loans

This is the wrong decade to be making that statement.
It feels like a great way to lose users in the login process. They try to log in, go to their email, get distracted by a facebook/whatever login.

Even as a user, it's more friction than a social login or password manager. This is effectively what I needed to do when I used vatsim prior to using a password manager as they made you use a password set by the app that was 8 characters alphanumeric so I used to end up having to reset it a lot.

I think I first saw one of these devices in our house when I was a kid in the mid 80s.

My dad was (still is) an electronics engineer, and started a company making data logging devices for weather and environmental data, and was using these for data download and display.

His own computer was a self-built machine with a Motorola 6809 processor, with all the boards/parts mounted into an old Hoover Keymatic washing machine chassis [1].

It was funny for ~8yo me to learn that this tiny pocket-sized Casio thing and the Hoover monstrosity in the garage were both "computers".

Fond memories.

One bug here and there, sure, every system has it.

CPUs do not have non-volatile memory for storing microcode updates. It has to be uploaded from the motherboard during the boot process, and the OS can optionally upload a newer version as part of their boot process. So the difficult thing is finding a matching motherboard that's running an old enough firmware version, or that can be rolled back to an older firmware version.

Perhaps.
> Faster and cheaper transactions, and hassle-free cross-bank and international transactions are not exactly out-of-the-blue expectations.

I think a lot of these problems originate from the fact that deposits at banks exist only as records in the bank's database, and therefore can only really be moved between accounts at the same bank.

To create the illusion of moving deposits between banks, another bank must accept to take on the liability in exchange for something else, something that can actually be moved between banks. This is what is referred to as "reserves", which is what we call the special money that only exists as records in the central bank's database.

So we can think of deposits as "JP Morgan Chase dollars", "BoA dollars", "Wells Fargo dollars" etc. while the real money is the "reserve dollars" that cannot be acquired by individuals.

Innovations like CBDC might put the reserve money directly into the hands of individuals and fix the issues that you mentioned. So that would mean that the central banks will be the ones with the fighting chance against crypto, not the private financial institutions.

I have a hobby project that my target was following similar learning path, I could only recommend if you also work on your own server dont forget software side,perf (http://brendangregg.com/perf.html) is a god not just kernel side, as well as your own software, as part of my build I was always checking below command:

'perf stat -e task-clock,cycles,instructions,cache-references,cache-misses,branches,branch-misses,faults,minor-faults,cs,migrations -r 3 nice taskset 0x01 ./myApplication -j XXX '

Additions I would have I have benefited:

* I use latest trimmed kernel, with no encryption, extra device etc...

* You might want to check RT kernels, finance & trading guys always good guide if you can

* Removed all boilerplate app stack from linux or built small one, I even now considering getting rid of network stack for my personal use

* Disable hyper-threading: I had a short living workers,this doesnt helped me for my case , you might want to validate first which one is best suited for your needs

* Check also your CPU capabilities (i.e. with avx2 & quad channel I get great improvements) and test them to make sure

* A system like this quickly get hot, watch temps, even short running tests might give you happy results but long term temps easily hit the wall that bios will not give a fuck but only throttle

Sure, but let me make two points:

1. I did not say anything about how high the dividend is, only that it has been sustained and has not decreased for a long period of time (multiple decades). Some companies on the list currently pay relatively low dividends as well.

2. It is a heuristic, so it will definitely miss a few great companies and some companies on the list will go on to do poorly (not that any method of stock picking will be any different).

Yes, it's true, but that wasn't what Animats said. And even if that was Animats' point, it doesn't invalidate the GP. The key value proposition of Rust isn't that "you'll never have memory safety bugs," but rather, that if your unsafe code is correct and sound, then safe Rust will be free of memory safety bugs. The important bit is the implication that grants one the power to make that sort of reasoning. It's important precisely because it limits the places in your code that need to be audited.
Or prove the impossibility of bounds-check failing and then disable them. The perfect use-case for silver-level SPARK. It would make sense to require some proof effort when you want to disable runtime checks...
