This is crazy, he's a veritable legend (and so young). RIP. My condolences go out to his friends and family. Maybe related to his stepping down 3 months ago[1]?

My comment from that 3-month-old thread, regarding Hsieh: From 2015-2017, I worked at Edmunds.com which was (to put it lightly) a bit obsessed with "Delivering Happiness" and Zappos' culture. So much so, that the leadership team visited Vegas to get a tour of the Zappos HQ (this was before I joined). But Edmunds based their entire cultural approach, including hiring, interviewing, and onboarding on Zappos.

The Edmunds onboarding experience has been by far the best out of any company I worked at. Sure, it was silly games and scavenger hunts that didn't really have anything to do with "work," but I look back at the entire experience with a lot of nostalgia. I loved the onboarding so much, I've been contemplating doing a startup that literally just focuses on improving cultural onborading at companies. It made my first few months at Edmunds not only incredibly productive, but also intellectually and socially stimulating.

And they were doing something right. Over there, I had the honor of working with one of the best managers I ever had (he's now at Amazon), and with one of the best software architects I've ever worked with (he's now at Facebook). My team was made up of motivated, smart, folks from all walks of life (recent grads to data science PhD's in their 50s). I still keep in touch with my old team even though we're spread all over these days: doing our own startups, at Facebook, Uber, Amazon, and beyond.

I have the utmost respect for the cultural revolution that entrepreneurs like Tony Hsieh brought to the fore. People that call it a "cult" are missing the point. It's no more a cult than cheering for your school mascot or being in a club. We seem to forget that people are inherently social and need a sense of belonging.

Wow that's a young age to pass away. Really shocking.
OS X is an incredible operating system, vastly more powerful than anything else at all ever.

There’s a million ways OSX is a work of art in OS design.

More than anything, it just works and multitasks smooth as a Swiss watch.

Simple, intuitive, consistent.

Yesterday I was using my iPhone and it said “share network password fro your Mac?” And it connected my to my local wireless. That’s beyond belief ease of use.

OSX knows what it is.... a powerful consistent desktop OS, 1000x better than anything from the 1980s or 1990s.

I was there in the 1980s and 1990s and it just wasn’t easy to use. Nothing was.
Reference counting cannot be faster than naive manual memory management because it does the same thing with the additional overhead of reference counting. Even a very simple generational GC beats naive explicit memory management on most nontrivial workloads given enough memory. https://people.cs.umass.edu/~emery/pubs/gcvsmalloc.pdf

I have 15k miles on my stromer, and I use the words "vehicle replacement" all the time. To me, its not something to go out and enjoy like I do on my bikes. Its something that gets me to work or the grocery store and back. I mean yea its fun, but it saves gas, I never get stuck in traffic, and can always find parking.
What if I'll tell that I didn't even know who is the guy before reading it? The sensation is like someone is speaking directly to you the thoughts you share already about the issues you struggled with for some time now to reach very similar conclusions.
It is also a sensation of relieve, because you feel you are not alone thinking similar way.

I literally had to google, who is this guy afterwards...
I've worked way over 9-5 for ~months a few times and I usually feel very unhappy with my decision for months afterwards.

If you are just an engineer, there is no point. You are just burning yourself out to make someone else's dream come true, or get your boss promoted, or get your director their bonus. Maybe you will get promoted, or a better rating. Even when I've seen that outcome I was still unhappy with it.

Any company will always have an endless backlog of work and burning it down faster doesn't do anything. IMO you should only do it when financial or career incentives are very well aligned.

I don't know if I've ever met another person who is truly (not for resume/career/money purposes) "passionate" about the kind of software people get paid to write. Most software is really boring. Even for software that isn't, it looks boring once you've seen how it works.
Class 1 ebikes go no faster than an athletic cyclist would (20mph), and most bike lanes / paths are restricted to those.

Another gambit I've seen that tends to moderate my speed on an ebike is a "green wave" tuned for 13mph. No point going any faster.
What I like too, is that there is a datadog connector. It sends the number of VUs and we can correlate that in our main datadog board, viewing how the app reacts to the load.

“ On Friday, September 1, 2017, after a round of layoffs that started in Oracle Labs in November 2016, Oracle terminated SPARC design after the completion of the M8. Much of the processor core development group in Austin, Texas, was dismissed, as were the teams in Santa Clara, California, and Burlington, Massachusetts.[4][5] SPARC development continues with Fujitsu returning to the role of leading provider of SPARC servers, with a new CPU due in the 2020 time frame.”
This is an odd sort of response. Shouldn't the people claiming that HN is chock full of racism be the ones enumerating exactly which users are engaging in racism and exactly what behaviors they're doing that promote racism? All I see are exceedingly vague accusations, most of which seem to operate from particularly uncharitable assumptions that equate any disagreement as another manifestation of racism.

Ironically, this is not dissimilar to how Zed Shaw treated you. We could either have just believed his accusation that you defamed him, or we could ask for evidence. (My interpretation is that you were making a sarcastic joke at Shaw's expense, mostly because of his extremely opinionated personality, and not making some sort of serious evaluation of his work. And, besides, literally speaking, what you said is probably true.)

If people want to argue that instances of racist behavior exist (at Coinbase, on HN or elsewhere within and outside the industry), few are going argue. The problem is that anecdotal instances do not imply systemic issues unless there is evidence of systemic issues themselves. When the most common response to "show me your evidence of systemic racism" is "you're a racist," then don't be surprised when some of us conclude that the issue is largely overhyped nonsense.
Victoria in Australia managed to pull things back into line from a pretty dire situation too.
Why do you I think I agree with you?

So the company should just call the Police and wash their hands or be responsible and have an appropriate sexual harassment policy, train their employees on how to identify and deal with sexual harassment, have a clear procedure on how to file and deal with complaints.

Maybe you will call such things "babysitting", I say its being responsible.

Understanding a file format means knowing the significance of a given bit. Not just that X has value 13, but that 13 means something and might influence the significance of Y or Z.

Having a table with columns A, B, and C doesn't say a ton about what the values in them mean. Or how they relate to one another. If it's a bunch of decimal numbers, it could be financial data, and the sums expected to sum depending on how another column that indicates a type is set. Or it could be temperature readings. Or distances, with the unit implied or tracked elsewhere.

Generally this is the kind of data and rules for reasoning about data that isn't stored in a database. Certainly not a sqlite database. Column and table names are often vague or unclear, and in my experience it's an exceptionally rare developer who leaves detailed commentary on the relationships between columns and tables and their possible values in their create statements.

Actually the Australian federal model is stronger than that of America. For instance, the federal government doesn't have an equivalent of the commerce clause. Furthermore, the Australian constitution doesn't have enumerated rights that take precedence over state constitutions.

This is true of batteries too - basically, the stuff dead batteries are made of are far purer than ore, and pretty close to what functioning batteries need due to obvious reasons.

First of all, we use your product and is amazing. Thanks for building it. I think JL + GitHub is just one part of the equation, I can divide it in 3 levels: Notebooks + CI, Notebook + CI/CD, Notebooks + CI/CD + Model monitoring. In first level when I'm developing, JL + GitHub, I need to provide security (Access to Datasets, tables and resources (GPU, machine type) Currently with Cloud Products I can achieve partially that. Since I have data in multiple clouds, I don't have a central place to fine tune the permissions. For now is ok, but becomes more of an admin burden where I setup with IAM access for each user.

I have used python's pathlib to create a common abstraction across ADS and linux xattrs, but have had to stop at the lowest common denominator that is the linux implementation. It is good to know that some of the other nixen don't have the same restrictions because it means there might be a shorter route to interoperability (especially in light of some of the other threads on the linux file system that have popped up over the last couple of days). The second piece of the puzzle is also exactly as you point out, which is xattr support across all the common tools. Many of them have it already, however it is usually not enabled by default, so it is extremely easy for a user to accidentally copy only the main file data. To give an example of the issue, vim's default save implementation copies files in a way that removes xattrs. Thus, even if xattrs can get closer, the fact that they still require tools to implement correct behaviour makes is a bit like the situation with cooperative multitasking.
Of Winamp fame? Of course!
Yeah I have something that flips OHHH I need you to sign NDA with me.
People treat you with contempt and ridicule if you complain about being unfairly treated. They hide behind objective processes that give cover to be biased. If process A, B, and C are objective, A+B+C can still yield terrible, biased outcomes. Witnesses and data simply doesn’t matter without empathy and understanding.
When a prominent person in their 40s dies and there's no information released as to the cause of death, it's always a challenge not to make assumptions.
You can't protect your DNA once you take one of these tests. If a relative takes it and uses their real identity, then it can eventually be associated with your identity.

Even if you never take the test, but a relative does, your privacy is compromised.

The best thing you can do is ask your family members not to take it.

Hopefully none of you are crimimals, but it just goes to show:

That moisture indicators are used as a way to weasel out of warranty claims is indeed common. But that was not what I was referring to.

What I mean with having fewer warranty claims is that the Macbook doesn't break in the first place. Condensing water is not a problem while the device is powered off, and will evaporate once it reaches room temperature.
I work in China. I wire money out of China on a regular basis to my home account in Canada. Have to give copies of tax forms and a copy of my contract to the bank, but that's about it. Other than that, it's the same as wiring money from Canada to any other country. There is a limit each year, but I've never been able to hit it. And a bunch of my foreign colleagues have half of their salary automatically deposited in USD accounts in their home country. Not me, but the point is that there are options.
So then do you have the name of who in particular should be jailed for this opioid epidemic?

Sure but where I live there is precisely zero enforcement of speed or capability. You also have to consider the effect of adding orders of magnitude more “athletic riders” to bike paths. Especially when the new riders are new to the speeds. And when pedestrians are used to having fast cyclists ride in the road, which is the norm here.

Ebikes are nothing short of a menace on my local bike path.
I've never understood or been able to relate to the seemingly common intense curiosity as to cause-of-death. Is it related to the desire to fit names we know into a narrative structure that lets us reason about them as entities? It seems like an irrelevant detail, to me personally.
What would the assumption be? Honestly I have no idea what you’re implying.
I don't really think you can categorize that they worked well as these companies are market maker. This is all the way more evident in 9 out 10 times they were profitable. It seems more as that options were 9X strike.
I'm not sure there is any legal basis for being able to charge a license fee for using a file format, only for a specific implementation of that format's codecs (unless it is patented, which I don't believe stuffit is or was).
I’m not necessarily arguing with any of that. But your assertion was that a Biden administration would be more likely to get militarily involved in Iran, and I don’t think the case for that argument is obvious. Biden wants to rejoin the nuclear agreement, while Trump has actually engaged in a violent confrontation with the country.
I would guess suicide is what the poster is implying.
The Pandemic Monkey Trap
> Make each application one file.

But...why? Why would I ever need to interact with any of the application files? Why would I need to move it to another portion of the disk? Give it a shortcut to click on to activate it and who cares? It could be running one file or a million files. The only files I care about are the ones I create and edit. I can't imagine any need to interact with the application files. If your users need to interact with the application files or move them around in any way, you've already failed at usability.
To add to this:

The POWER7 through POWER9 processors from IBM implement an equivalent to this called "SAO", or "Strong Access Ordering Mode". To quote an IBM engineer:

> Currently, power has a weaker memory model than x86. Implementing a stronger memory model allows an emulator to more efficiently translate x86 code into power code, resulting in faster code execution.

What's interesting is IBM publishes pretty detailed manuals about their processors. You can take a look at the POWER9 CPU manual [0] and search for "SAO".

You'll see just how deep down support for this mode goes. To implement this sort of strong memory ordering requires modifications e.g. SAO mode introduces a new pipeline hazard to the L2 cache and requires deep support in the MMU, including corner cases like the virtual memory for VMs and nested VMs.

It's not a casual addition to the uarch.

EDIT:

It just occurred to me Apple has taken a very different approach to solving this problem.

From what I can tell, TSO on apple's CPUs is just process state implemented in their "high performance" cores that you get from flipping a bit in the MSR register (?).

IBM's version is implemented in the memory system, and is applied to pages of memory (on Linux you call mprotect to mark a page SAO). TSO-semantics are then applied regardless of which core on a potentially multiprocessor, SMP system accesses it.

The Apple implementation seems to be more limited -- but in a totally inconsequential way (can't share data between TSO and non-TSO processes). But it does beg the question, what happens when you have shared memory between a Rosetta 2 process and native ARM code? If the ARM code is running on a core without TSO, what gremlins come out to eat your data?

htmx sounds great! I am interested in this from the security angle. If browsers were to natively support htmx (or something similarly declarative), it might reduce the need for Javascript and hence improve security.
Engaging with this as though it were made in good faith:

A white man might be threatened by a black man expressing their opinion for two reasons. First, the audacity of someone "inferior" daring to express their opinion assertively. That could be seen as threatening. Secondly (and probably more likely) the social conditioning that black people, but especially men, acting with anger are naturally dangerous. That is, someone may feel vastly more physically intimidated by a black man expressing the same opinion, with the same words, at the same volume level than a white woman.

Would a person complain to HR about that? Absolutely. Would HR respond? Depends on the company and the people.
> it's about the fact that when you buy grana padano in the US and it's made of sh*t, you as a consumer should be able to tell.

While that's a great goal, I wonder why a few categories like champagne and apparently 'grada padano' are trying to protect the category name instead of just the brand like most other types of product?

I can buy the $5-for-a-plastic-gallon unbranded tequila or I can buy the $60 Don Julio tequila or some of the very expensive tequilas. Their reputation (or lack of) is in the brand, not in the alcohol category word "tequila".
Didn’t you read the newspapers before moving ? EU has just two problematic-countries regarding the control of politics over the justice. They are Hungary and Poland. Why would anyone move their wallet in a country that has shut down foreign universities? No more freedom of speach, no law to help you, a high dose of nationalism - that’s what your choise is.

Albania has been powered 100% with renewables since... like forever. All Hydro power as it has a lot of rivers. The only gas/turbine power plant is non-operational.

I think it is easier for smaller countries with the right conditions, to achieve it (Iceland and Norway are on a similar rate as well):

The exception is in years with excessive draughts, where they have had to import it. But in years of good rainfalls, they do export it as well.
I think it's likely just part of human nature. When something bad or tragic happens, we want to know what happened and why. It seems plausible that there's an evolutionary explanation for it, to do with learning how to avoid such happenings.
What a jerk, this memo was totally inappropriate. I wonder how many suits it resulted in, that sounds like a rather hostile work environment
This leads me to a related question: If stuffit existed to compress and preserve resource forks pre osx, why is mac software these days so commonly distributed as a .dmg instead of just zipping an .app bundle (which works totally fine)?

It is solely so that people can include a shortcut to /Applications and style the dmg window background with a bitmap that alludes to dragging to install?

I know that at least hfs+ still supported resource forks, but I don't think any modern .app bundle has any anymore, or has for years. (Does APFS even still support storing a resource fork?)
