Yikes. I have briefly thought about doing the same thing before, but I suspect the added company overhead would wipe out most or all of the advantage.

The neurobiological effects of alcohol are fairly complex. I don't think most of its effects can be attributed to a single mechanism or reason.

It might be that coming back from the (subjectively positive) effects of alcohol could be offsetting in some cases, but I've also found that even smaller things that wouldn't necessarily trigger that much anxiety can do it sometimes after a night of drinking. I don't think it's just a disconcerting return to normal; I've sometimes noticed myself catastrophising after drinking in a way that's significantly greater than I otherwise would.

I wouldn't be surprised if there were some kind of a biological reason for that, although not something singular that uniformly affects all people the same way. (Individual variance is also pretty huge when it comes to any effects of alcohol, so some people might not experience that at all.)

It could of course also be that, for some people, alcohol reduces inhibitions enough to give way to your demons, at least inside of your head even if not in behaviour. That might also be a part of it.

> Any math higher level than arithmetic doesn't actually require doing arithmetic.

That's not really true. If you're doing calculus, solving some integral, you end up doing a bunch of addition and multiplication along the way. That's not the part you're trying to learn, which is my point—by having your arithmetic down pat, you can focus on the important things, rather then having to think about the low level details at all.

WSL 1 (haven't tried 2 if they have some sort of magic for this, guess not) can actually run windows applications.

So you can run "ipconfig.exe | cowsay" for instance.

I'm not in front of a windows machine now but you could do stuff like list windows processes with a windows command, filter it with linux command and take the result to kill a process. All in a short line.

And honestly, more integrated than that I'm not sure I want. I like isolation and knowing that my linux command won't touch windows processes etc.

But an utility that can list and kill both Linux and windows processes can be done in a short shell-script.

As a principal engineer at a 3k employee company, my amount of coding has shifted down to around <30%, but it comes in tides. Last week was zero coding, but the two weeks prior, I had fun coding 6 hours a day. But generally, I'm at the point where two hours of coding is about all I can hope for.

When I was senior at a 500 person company, I could spend half the day or less in meetings, but not every day. Maybe 70% coding.

When I was at more of a start up and midlevel, my meetings tended to be 1hr-2hr or less a day, several days only with scrum.

When not coding/testing/code-reviewing, it is meetings, notes, documents, communications, driving alignment, finding requirements, digging into data, ...

Historically, as an asset class, VC has routinely underperformed the S&P 500. Even on HN, which is full of startup people, the mental model people have about the investing business model is dominated by the outcomes of successful companies, rather than any notion of portfolios of successes and failures.

Another detail retail investors don't have: startup investors re-invest to keep pro-rate shares in future rounds. You have to keep feeding companies money to keep your share. Explain that to my Aunt Rita.

Another thing is, the LPs in VC funds aren't putting money in just because they think it'll be a super-successful investment that they want access to; some of them have portfolio allocation rules, and requirements to invest funds in things decorrelated from public markets. Which is just to say, a pension fund goes into these things with eyes wide open, unlike a skittish retail investor and his Lionel Hutzian legal advisors.

It's the 2-year, $35 million investigation that didn't indict a single person for colluding with Russia to influence the election: https://theintercept.com/2019/04/18/robert-mueller-did-not-m...

> But certain facts will never go away no matter how much denial they embrace. The sweeping Mueller investigation ended with zero indictments of zero Americans for conspiring with Russia over the 2016 election. Both Donald Trump, Jr. and Jared Kushner – the key participants in the Trump Tower meeting – testified for hours and hours yet were never charged for perjury, lying or obstruction, even though Mueller proved how easily he would indict anyone who lied as part of the investigation. And this massive investigation simply did not establish any of the conspiracy theories that huge parts of the Democratic Party, the intelligence community and the U.S. media spent years encouraging the public to believe.
This wouldn’t be a problem if Adobe (and others) would release the specifications for their now dead formats.
More or less. Though I'd rephrase your description of WSL1 as "Linux for the NT kernel".

In that sense "Win32" (the API used by Windows programs) could also be described as "Win32 for the NT kernel". They are both subsystems that translate their APIs into NT kernel calls.

Windows NT used to have a number of these subsystems but all except Win32 were deprecated and eventually removed.

> (Linux is of course the best designed and implemented among the non-realtime, not provably correct and not secure kernels)

That is a coffee-spewing statement. Linux generally has a reputation of approaching new features by coming late to the party, seeing the mistakes everyone else made in the feature, and then implementing it somehow even more poorly than everybody else.

An example of a particularly bad Linux subsystem is ptrace, which interacts poorly with threads, relies on signals (itself a bit of a mess of a feature), and is notorious for all the races you have to do to actually properly set up a debugger. The Windows debugger API is much simpler, and even includes some features I'd love to have in Linux instead (hello, CreateRemoteThread!). I was going to write to the parent comment that implementing ptrace to let you run gdb (or, worse, rr!) in WSL1 would have been something that every NT kernel programmer would have "NOPE"d at because the impedance mismatch is just that high.
I hadn't considered eBPF because I needed some pretty obscure information from the kernel internals (i.e. the addresses of the `struct file`s) and I didn't realize eBPF was as capable as it is. Another commenter suggested trying it, though, so I'm checking it out now!

I did use printk for debugging, but I (incorrectly) assumed it could block. Another commenter pointed out that this is not the case. TIL!

The gdb link looks very helpful and I'll try that next time. Thanks for linking that.
I guess what you mean by "sink in" is a form of deeper more intuitive knowledge. Like when you suddenly figure out how everything is connected.

If that's what you mean, then yes -- this is something that is going to happen over time.

What I mean is that your teacher will want you to understand some concepts and learn some skills before you move to next topic. Very deep understanding is probably not on the list and it is expected to only form over time. But there are topics that are explicitly expected and you have to understand because otherwise what is going to be on the board the next day is not going to make whole lot of sense.

I was a Delphi programmer for a few years, professionally, when it first came out in the 90s. I worked with their developer products (and for Borland directly on Delphi/Kylix/C++Builder, eventually) until the mid-2000s. I've never seen the match of Borland's docs, before or since, particularly as integrated with the IDE's coding features.

There are a number of programming languages and APIs with excellent documentation, but theirs were above and beyond.

This has always been the goal once Apple released the iPhone. It's been their MO for decades even before iOS. They are strongly opinionated and it doesn't stop at the UI. Using Apple is like living a Frank Loyd house. It's really nice, but Frank Loyd was known to tell you how he wanted you to dress and even down to what cutlery and textiles you should have. This is Apple, and in their defense it's how they are able to achieve "It just works" and maintain security. Unlike Microsoft, Apple refuses to say yes to everything. If you don't like it, vote with your wallet. They are many alternatives now, and most applications aren't even native anymore.
Ask HN: How to Start Contributing?
Hello HN,
I have been working as a Software Developer for a couple years, but never contributed to Open Source Projects yet. I think it is time for me to give back to community, but I find it hard to find a place or project to start and I also think there are people out there want to do this but in the same situation. Are there any "Open Source Contributor Starter Package/Guide" that can help me and the others to get started?
WSL 1 actually doesn't use the NT subsystem architecture like SFU/Interix did (and this article implies). Instead WSL 1 was implemented with a relatively new feature called "pico processes". See: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/archive/blogs/wsl/pico-proc...
Awful propaganda. That guy is not even a medical doctor, I doubt he will have been arrested for "providing medical assistance" and the connection to the new law, which is not even fully in effect yet (and was not in effect at all during the raid), is construed extensively, or to say, pure fiction. What is this even meant to imply? That you can simply arrest people for being "anti lockdown"?

Generally, yes.

I hate you. I mean, not you personally, but please don't. Even when I'm using a monospaced font, that vast gulf of whitespace between the else keyword and the substance of the else clause kills readability, and since I actually now pretty consistently use proportional fonts for programming... (I mean, sure, if its an environment where you now elastic tabstops are available, tabular alignment is fine; if you're faking it with spaces, though...)
I can't count the number of times that some jerk de-railed some comment section on genuine good content because they couldn't resist trying to score a few cheap virtue points pointing out that leaving X leaning against Y in the background is technically an OSHA violation or that Z in the background needs to be cleaned.
It's a solution with a lot of its own problems, but old hardware can help mitigate a lot of this. I can easily run software written for any Apple platform back to the original Apple II (along with several other non-Apple platforms) on original hardware. I'm not suggesting everybody with an interest in old data hoard old machines like me, but perhaps organizations like the Computer History Museum could make available machines for accessing, converting, and saving old software and data to those who need it (possibly for a fee).

And for the specific items in this post, it's not as if anything is an emergency right now. It's reasonable to expect that working Intel Macs will be around for decades to come, just like you can find operational 68K and PowerPC Macs without much trouble right now. It's actually gotten easier to get data on/off a lot of old machines with time, due to things like floppy emulators, SCSI2SD adapters, serial to WiFi adapters, etc. The author could buy a G4 capable of running OS 9 and OS X for less than $100 if they wanted to, and it would still easily connect to modern networks, access modern USB drives, etc.

All hardware will die eventually, but that's going to happen regardless of any processor transition, and there's just no way that these same problems are going to be entirely prevented by sticking with x86 forever.

I do hope somebody comes up with a (non-Apple/Rosetta) x86 emulator for Apple Silicon Macs, sort of like VirtualPC for PowerPC Macs.

Lotteries, mortgages, and public securities are heavily regulated to make it nearly impossible to get ripped off. You can lose your life savings by buying AAPL, but you can't lose it despite AAPL going up because you didn't read the fine print on the brokerage website.

The reason for accredited investor requirements is that it's not realistic to do the same with small businesses. It is perfectly legal, and not totally uncommon, for startups to have very unfavorable terms for investors. If the LLC paperwork says the majority partner can choose to buy back your shares against your will for a dollar any time they like, then they can, and it's your fault for not reading it more carefully.

I've heard of many cases, and personally witnessed one case, in which an accredited investor put a lot of money in to a startup, and lost it even though the startup did well. The requirements may not be perfect, but I don't think it's fair to suggest they don't serve a purpose.

A few years ago, I wrote https://github.com/0x20/backtab to sell drinks at the local hackerspace; it's worked well so far, and the backend has a fairly simple REST interface.

Since then, my flatmate got me interested in the AS/400 hobbyist community, and before long I had found myself the proud owner of an IBM Power 750 Express server running IBM i, with no idea what to do with it. I've wanted to use COBOL for a real project for a while, and porting the backend seemed like a fine excuse :-D

It's been slow going because the IBM docs are extremely dense, but the project so far has convinced me that if IBM i were available to hobbyists at a reasonable price, it would be a much bigger player in the market. Building simple CRUD-style apps is trivial, with the "GUI" design being almost VB-levels of easy.
Try not paying your taxes, or paying fines, resisting bailiffs, and yet refusing to go to court/jail and see how things work outside the "primary school playground". You'll see it is all based on the threat of physical force, even if you can't see so. If violence is the last resort, is is by that measure the "foundation" of society, if not the basis.

That said, the international community is not "society". You can have all the treaties you want, the threat of violence comes when nations care to break them.
I don’t have a dog in this fight, nor any experience with Windows since 7, nor much familiarity with the various low level differences that might make WSL 1 the giant ball of asterisks and footnotes and incompatibilities that I can intuitively imagine based on the conceptual explanation. That said, as a Mac user—a system with a great deal more common heritage with Linux—knowing that such a compatibility approach for (say) Docker hasn’t even been attempted, despite the huge amount of developer goodwill it could generate, because the OSes are so significantly different... I’m impressed that WSL 1 was even tried.

Also as such an outsider, I have to wonder if a similar approach in the opposite direction (bring core Windows APIs more in line with *nix, build traditional Windows environment compatibility layers on top for existing software, eventually become a Linux) might have been a more expensive but more successful and future proof approach. Even so, that sounds (even in the abstract) a lot to ask. Even from one of the largest software vendors in existence.

I’m sure there’s a ton of details I’m missing or getting confused, but it’s interesting brain food for me as someone fully in the Apple ecosystem but perpetually casually watching the MS ecosystem and its improvements as a backup plan.

The point is that 2 and (λ (x) 2) are vastly different objects, yet in standard math are treated the same.

Also you don't need a symbol type to deal with variables, you just need to allow type variables to be used in standard expressions. (define x R) (^ x 2) is just as easy to manipulate as (λ (x) (^ x 2)), the only issue is that your rewrite rules how aren't just looking at syntax, but semantics too.
> Apple knows that a user with a complaint isn’t necessarily going to stop buying iPhones.

Nonsense. People switch to android all the time. Apple’s sales depend wholly on continuing to meet the needs of their customers and providing perceived value. If they fell behind Android in perceived value, or stopped producing what their paying customers want they would lose money. Relatively high switching costs dampens this a bit, but there’s no magic that keeps Apple customers buying apple products.

> I don’t see why a “customer” who is paying in ad impressions is any less of a “customer” than one who is paying in cash.

A “customer” who pays in ad impressions is, quite literally, not a customer. They’re a user, at best. The customer is the person who pays the business for a good or service, which in this case is the ad buyer. Google will try to make you happy insofar as it helps them get more money from their paying customers, but the moment there’s a conflict between between the needs of their users and the needs of their customers, the paying customers will always win.

Put more brutally, your relationship with Google has more in common with a cow’s relationship with Nike than a shoe owner’s relationship with Nike. Your attention is the product, as much as the cow’s leather is. Just as we don’t confuse good animal husbandry with a genuine interest in the cow’s long term well being, don’t confuse Google offering features & products as an interest in your productivity and/or happiness.
