I've learned a bunch of different languages[1], but J (and its friends APL and K) has been both the one that I don't feel I have the patience to learn AND the one that I feel like I might fall in love with if I actually learned it.

The incomprehensible programs just seem to hint that there is some sort of maximal information density where every keystroke provides maximal productivity.

There's also something artistically appealing about starting at a program and making a deliberate one character change that makes all the difference ... although on the other hand, that's kind of scary too.

Here's a video that really illustrates the power of this paradigm: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a9xAKttWgP4

[1] - I learned (in this approximate order): C, Java, Lua, C#, Ruby, Python, Lisp, Forth, Prolog, Clojure, OCaml, Haskell, Erlang, F#, R, Racket, and Rust. I also took a look at languages like: ATS, Cyclone, C++, Idris, Agda, D, and Perl 6. Of all those languages it really feels like APL/J/K are the strange ones.
Dunno. Maybe less efficient use of the same feedstock?

Further, now they're putting oil in Salmon feedstock so they have imaginary dietary advantages i.e. Omega-3 fatty acid, which farm-raised salmon don't have much of normally.

So add that cost to raising salmon.
India is incredibly agriculturally productive, with amounts of arable land other countries can only dream of. Try doing the same diet just a few paces up in more arid and mountainous Central Asia and it would be famine.
True, but also consider you still need to add a radio and then run it all on batteries. There are much better solutions that still cost less. Not to mention, having to rely on Raspberry Pi of any kind for commercial use is tough in large quantities (speaking from direct experience).

As a hobbyist tool, this is great and nothing wrong with it. But in the traditional IoT sense, we are usually talking large volumes of cheap devices running on batteries.
I actually don't see how "gamification" (adversarial websites exploiting loopholes in ranking) can even result in making ad revenue lower excepting the scenario where it makes Search itself less useful and therefore less used overall?
Living in San Diego now and by the coast I don’t think it gets too hot (if you can the ocean, it’s likely not too hot). There is usually ocean breeze and most of the year it’s warm, not hot.
I think that's the great thing about voluntary association and freedom in that sense in general: you can associate with those who are like-minded and willing to work with you, and you don't have to/aren't forced to associate with those that disagree with you entirely - and those groups can't really get at you as easily. In open source, it's just a more pure version of that because you essentially have infinite "space" to spread out, and you can just clone stuff.
Great comment, this finally made it click for me as to why Factorio is such a perfect game
I struggled with this for a long time, for example if someone asked what time it was instead of saying "it's 4pm" I'd say, "It's 3:57... no wait now it's 3:58" because I felt like saying 4:00 would be not exactly true. Similarly my answers to other things could become so convoluted with included details that ironically people would assume I was lying (snowing them)!

What allowed me to adapt my brain to the imprecision people expect was to realize that anything you say necessarily leaves out more details than it includes. You can't get all of your mental state or the state of the world into words even your listener had the patience.
The language itself is a bottleneck, English for instance is very redundant. I suppose this is an error correcting mechanism of sort. So reinventing the language could increase the bandwidth 7th fold. Alternatively an intelligent model could cut away this by means of compression, look into Dasher for more on that.
The comment your responding to is actually a toungue-in-cheek reference to the original Dropbox announcement on Hacker News: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8863

It's not to be taken seriously.
Doesn't that indicate that overconsumption, not overpopulation, is the problem.
Thank you. I know that in US such an email might be helpful in my case, but I am not from there. It just eats me up to be treated this way.

But fighting legally is not something I can afford both cost-wise or time-wise, although 100-200k would be a real nice motivation.

If they had paid the 10k in a reasonable time, I may have not felt this way but its been over 4 months. Like you said, moving on seems like the best option.
> "But the prices just keep going up -- they increased their prices across the board by 30% this year."

This strikes me as a very 'glass half-empty' way of looking at film production.

Kodak needed to increase film-prices because their existing facilities weren't able to keep up with increasing demand. I constantly experienced this myself last year, as there were periods when Portra wasn't available in various speeds in 120-format from my normal suppliers.
The intention is to balance supply and demand, and use the extra revenue to invest in more efficient production.

There is probably something in the contract that says that Microsoft is not criminally liable. I trust their lawyers for that.

But if companies become criminally liable for bugs, this can be bad news for open source projects. For example. My company wants to use some GPL software, but we need some extra features, so following the license, I implement them and release the source. The original maintainers like it and put it into the official tree. Unfortunately, my contribution introduces a serious security flaw in some other part that my company doesn't use, we simply overlooked that part, it is our fault, but we didn't mean any harm. We may even have seen the CVE, but because it wasn't about something we used, we didn't look into it. And now, suddenly just because we did everything by the rules and released our source code, we are now criminally liable... That kind of thing makes you think twice before you contribute to any open source project...

Usually open source projects have a very big "we are not responsible for anything, to the maximum intent permitted by law" warning to avoid this kind of problem. Companies are of course free to provide additional guarantees on derived products, that's one business model for open source developers.

But if you make a law where software developers are responsible for their bugs no matter the contract, even if there is no ill intent, this is going to be a problem.
Could a Dragon spacecraft fly humans to the Moon? It’s complicated
I have a copy of it for BeOS too. It runs on both PowerPC and Intel. It was pretty nice at the time. I'm sure it is incapable of doing anything with modern documents though.
I have no idea if there is pro-Google astroturfing happening on HN, but there is definitely pro-CCP astroturfing happening on HN in every thread with even a tangential connection to China. So it would not surprise me if huge corporations paid for services which may include astroturfing.

There's almost no problem so severe that it is immune to hyperbole. I'm always in such a strange place responding to comments like this, because I generally agree. San Francisco govt is very restrictive toward business - it bans plastic straws and happy meals - but it seems helpless in the face of severe misbehavior from addicts and mentally ill. So severe that people might wonder if some in government are willfully enabling this behavior.

I've lived in SF my whole life, and I'm pushing 50. My parents live here, I'm raising my kids here. Every day I wonder if I made the right decision. There's still time to leave. It hurts, feeling this way, because in many ways I still really love the place where I grew up, and I feel like a lot of my life is woven in here.

I said all that to make it clear that I agree with you And yet, there's still room for disagreement about how severe it is.

I've been on long walks (something I like doing in urban areas) since COVID hit. Where I go often depends on something I need to do in an area, an errand I have to run. I walked a long distance through the outer sunset along the great highway (closed to cars right now). From Washington and Presidio out through Clement street, for a ways. I surf, too, and while the waves don't have the shape of a point or reef break (think Santa Cruz), I'd much rather spread out in the beach break and find the occasional open corner than crowd in with a bunch of surfers all competing for the take-off spot (I felt this way before COVID, let alone now).

Plenty of others (Carl Nolte wrote about a walk of his own in the Chronicle this sunday[1]), I don't need to list them all. I have glorious days here, still - there is some intrusion from urban blight even on those glorious walks, but in some cases it was a still pretty minor. I was not accosted, nor did I have to constantly dodge human feces. The city showed well, the houses and buildings were interesting looking, the views were glorious, the people around were friendly. There are comments who make it sound like every square block of SF is like escape from New York. It isn't, though it's getting worse, and I'm worried. Some of this, I think, is motivated by a desire to disparage left-wing government (I'm ok with holding progressive San Francisco accountable for what the city has become, though I do think we need to consider macro factors beyond what they can control - not to dismiss the considerable role of SF's policies, but as part of the discussion).

I've also been downtown in plenty of other US cities - most recently, Seattle and Milwaukee. In some ways, the remarkable thing about SF's downtown is that it was inhabitable recently. Many cities wrote off their version of market street long, long ago. I do agree that parts of SF are pretty disgusting, and SF does win the top prize in this regard, but I actually don't agree that it is uniquely disgusting.

Anyway, this is just a disagreement about degree, and some hyperbole is intended as a kind of satire or comic rant. Overall, I agree, we have a really serious problem in SF.

Not sure why you're picking a week, that's hardly enough to escalate it to the right team. You're going to have publically announced zero days. Even if companies hopped to you'd get rushed deployments. There needs to be time to schedule the update etc, see also how long it takes for things to spread across Linux distros

Besides, your point stands with Google's Project Zero preexisting 90 day period. & yet they get flak too about putting out this information (not that I agree with that flak)

You can't just open source the algorithms - you also have to release the data and the platform on which the algorithm was executed.

This is becoming a major problem because a lot of research papers publish their results and their methodology but not the data so it's not reproducible.

A LOT of the data Google would have would be semi-private. It's generally OK if Google has it because (arguably) the user shared the data with Google but they might not want other people to have access.

I'm not saying it's right - just that it's a problem
I'm on team "build more housing", but providing housing (as in, the city pays for housing for the poor who can't afford to pay for their own housing) directly costs the city money, if the city is paying rent to the landlord; costs the city money if the city buys the building/pays for construction; and indirectly costs the city money in lost property tax for units that the city designates as BMR units.

Allowing construction will alleviate pressure on the system as a whole, but, perhaps due to a failure of my imagination, I'm not seeing ways in which it won't cost something. I think it's worth it, mind you, I'm just not seeing how to make it $0.
Practical experience of trying to go vegetarian/vegan. I gave up after a while. I just felt constantly hungry. Maybe because I started working out and going vegan at the same time.

fwiw - "vegetarian" doesn't count for animal well-being. Egg laying chickens and milk cows are treated really badly and their agony is rather prolonged for the duration of their "productive life".
I hear all of your complaints and empathize with them. Containerized workflows are in fact more complex, and it does hurt a little.

But consider this. You can mount the entire host fs, say under `/var/host` or the likes, and you're tied back to Code on the machine. You can use the host network stack with `--net=host`. And you can even skip user and process space segmentation. And so what would that get you?

Containers are just threads with good default isolation. By default, the system capabilities are greatly reduced in a container (PTRACE for example, though sometimes that one hurts a little too). Systemd does the exact same things with it's units, careful segmenting out it's units into process groups with constrained capabilities.

The point being that containers are just processes with good default isolation. That's a win for versioning and security, at the cost of complexity.
I mean National Park in exactly the same way that everybody means National Park: Rock Creek Park was the third National Park, made so by an Act of Congress, just like any other big-N National big-P Park.

If you're willing to travel as much as it takes you to get to Big Sur from San Francisco, you can easily visit Shenandoah or the Blue Ridge, both bona-fide up-to-snuff pre-approved Real™ Beautiful™ National Parks from DC. There's also the Chesapeake, tons of magnificent beaches and state parks in the surrounding area---many beautiful sites on the east coast had already been state parks far before the notion of a national park was invented. That doesn't make them less beautiful or grandiose, however.
Respectfully, I think you misunderstand the page. The Quectel EG25-G is the modem only, the main CPU on the Pinephone is an Allwinner A64 ARM Quad core Cortex-A53. The modem itself has its own linux kernel, app space, etc.

I'm not sure why you are claiming racism. I'm suggesting we raise the standard of living in poorer countries. That we empower women in these countries. Honestly, how is that racist?

Also, yes, wealthy countries over consume. Collectively we just don't care. We can't even get people to wear a mask. I don't think there is a pragmatic way to convince the west to consume less.
Multicast is definitely lacking (well, it’s completely absent if you’re using Calico), but even for regular UDP there’s a big problem if you care about latency (and if you don’t, why are you using UDP?) Anecdotally, I’ve heard people complain that UDP dropout on their clusters is just too high to actually support the kind of things they want to do. Equally, UDP based products like Tibco FTL just literally aren’t supported on Kubernetes environments.

None of this means I have any answers, I’m afraid.
For me, if I don't workout, I just need about 6 hours. If I workout (whether cardio, strength or both but especially with strength), I definitely need 8 hours.

Every few weeks I find myself sleeping 10-12 hours with non-stop vivid REM dreams.

Show HN: K3sup (0.9.6) – Adds HA k3s support with MySQL and Postgres
Note that 8-way SMT is the "big core", and I'm almost convinced that 8-SMT is more about licensing than actually scaling. By supporting 8 threads per core (and doubling the size of the core), you get a 30-core system that supports 240-threads. That's a licensing hack: since most enterprise software is paid per-core.

I don't think that's entirely fair: Massively multi-user transactional applications (read: databases) are right in the wheelhouse of POWER, and they're exactly the kind of applications that benefit most from SMT. Lots of opportunities for latency hiding as you're chasing pointers from indexes to data blocks.
On top of that nearly all ancient texts on meditation basically include a "do not try this at home" statement of sorts. A pretty common theme is that meditation should be practiced in close proximity to an accomplished master with their guidance. This is not dissimilar to the advice anyone who makes use of psychedelics will give.

Of course people want quick and easy so "accomplished master" can easily be subbed out for "local yoga teacher" or even "NYT best selling book".

Most people who claim benefits from meditation would likely reap even more benefits from just making sure they had an hour or half hour distraction free with time for their thoughts. Go for a walk alone, or find a quiet place and write in a journal, give your self some time before you fall as sleep to think just think to yourself.
One, but there were others. Moho comes to mind, but there were others such as Tune Tracker.. there was at least one DAW that came with BeOS and a custom app to run the hardware too. There were a few games.. Chorum 3 is one I have a copy of. There was a version of the Opera browser at one point too.
Thanks for this elitist mind-reading and fear-mongering.

Shit. That's actually awesome and could easily pay for itself.
Pi-Zeros are subsidized at $5 for education. It's difficult to get any quantity. They are ~$20 in general quantities.
> but it seems indisputable that the finished product will be higher quality than the one that defers as much functionality off to external dependencies as possible. Why? Because for an external dependency to be useful, it has to address many different use cases. To do that, it has to expose abstractions that only exist to allow reuse. The unused use cases cause memory bloat (that even tree shaking won't address all of) and the abstractions slow things down at runtime.

You seem to be treating "quality" as a synonym for performance. But it doesn't matter how high-performance your GUI is if someone can't use it because, for example, it doesn't support their language or their assistive technology (e.g. screen reader or alternative input). And supporting these things requires -- guess what? -- abstractions, that take lots of time to implement if you roll your own GUI from the ground up. That's why I stand by my view, which you nicely summarized in your opening paragraph.

Your last paragraph is a tired straw man. No one has the time to develop software that's perfect in every way. When we sacrifice absolute performance, it's not necessarily for the sake of slapping together crap software to make a quick buck. Suppose I set out to solve an urgent problem in my chosen field (accessibility). Shipping my solution faster doesn't just mean that I can quit work faster and start making money. It also means the solution can start making a positive difference in users' lives sooner. In light of that, it would be irresponsible for me to obsess over maximizing speed or minimizing RAM consumption, as much as some vocal nerds might insist that I have a responsibility to do so. My real responsibility is to the users who are waiting for the solution that I'm developing. Now, that doesn't mean that I should absolutely ignore performance or resource consumption, but I shouldn't obsess over them either, and I certainly shouldn't use them as reasons to waste time developing everything from the ground up when there are so many high-quality components I can use.
If you're craving some philosophy I would recommend "The Problems of Philosophy" by Bertrand Russell. It's about 160 pages and you can easily skip around to chapters that interest you. Quite thought-provoking.
You are basing your entire observation on an inaccurate translation.

A great museum is likely to have events, speakers, special exhibits, and other new features that keep it fresh for residents. The Smithsonian system is very attractive in that regard; I can't vouch for the others.

I see you put Chantilly, VA on your list. The main museum of Chantilly is Udvar-Hazy, also part of the Smithsonian. Like the Smithsonian, it's free, though there's a parking fee (and it's in the middle of nowhere, so you do need a car.) It has many of the large aircraft that don't fit in the downtown Air and Space Museum, including a Space Shuttle, a Concorde, and an SR-71. Highly recommended.

I just finished going through the "De-Mystifying Mindfulness" course on Coursera and they do warn about the fact that "mindfulness" has become an industry and that the people who offer courses are often unqualified to teach them.

MBSR and MBCT course with qualified teachers do have a very good track record and solid scientific backing.

There are also some replicated studies of the synergy between mindfulness and psychedelics.

It's more appropriate to compare pricing of Tesla with a datacenter-grade CPU like POWER10 (or Epyc/Xeon/etc.).
