I get where this is coming from, I really do, but this guy has never tried raising children. It’s work and play both. You have to change their diapers. You have to make sure they get their shots. You have to feed them. You also get to play with them. It’s the most basic human activity- even if all manufacturing could be done by robots, we would still I think choose to raise our own children. But it is a lot of work. Only changing their diapers when the mood hits you is child abuse. There is a sense of duty involved.

I do think that taking a hard look at the nuclear family is a good idea- I think you can make a good case that biologically a newborn baby is supposed to be cared for by more than one person, more like 5 or 6. We are terribly cruel to young mothers, making them wake up once every hour all night long and then asking them to go back to their day jobs in addition after only a few days. Having the experience of raising a few myself has so far taught me that parents especially of babies need to be surrounded by support, and that young children should be surrounded by other young children. That points to community child raising. But someone still has to change diapers.
But if you ask "how to fix problems in Windows" you're likely to end up reading a guide[1] [2] [3] [4] that suggests "run chkdsk /f". Why? Because the diagnostic tools available to most users are so poor that shotgun debugging is the only option. And /spotfix is too new to have made a dent in 30 years of being told that's the way you do it. (This is the first time I've heard of that option.) The internet is very bad at forgetting.

> A neural net is a software representation of how the brain works

A NN shares as much with the brain, as a decision tree does with a forest: nothing at all.

It would be preferable to completely dispense with any talk of the brain, and introduce it simply as a modified form of (high school) linear regression.

Any biological talk at this point is unhelpful mystification.
The problem is that how the market works is that once a monopoly has been established, that it's very hard for a competitor to challenge that, even if he have a better idea.

Even if I were to invent a new search algorithm that would be superior to Google's in terms of satisfaction with most searchers, I would be unable to get a wedge in.

This is not so big a problem with say a power company, but with a search engine, it becomes the front page of the internet through which everyone goes — the end result is that Google commands a great deal of political influence simply with how it decides that it's algorithms should work and what pages to prioritize.

Courts ordered Microsoft in the past to provide Windows users with notice of other web browsers, which was the primary way Internet Explorer lost it's dominance — perhaps it is time to order Google to provide users notice of other search engines and web browsers too as a matter of antitrust.

It could be good to use the same ISA for the coprocessor as for the main CPU, worked well for IBM mainframes.

Smarter Ethernet NICs often contain a CPU to do things like TCP offload, the "microcode" for them can be just machine code for this CPU, having a more open architecture for the peripheral devices would make it easier to add support for more network protocols.

Just a little empiricism: During my studies, 95 % of the teaching was somewhere between "not good" and "horrible / comically bad".

There were just one or two persons in the whole faculty known for good teaching.
This was acknowledged by all students I came in touch with.

--> There is a kind of teaching that is uniquely perceived as "good" among the people I came in touch with.

The same holds for teachers known for really bad teaching.

That written, teaching _was_ mostly perceived binary.

There was fairly little overlap where teaching styles were perceived "good" from some and "bad" from others.

People have tried to define what social media is. Rather than responding immediately I tried to think about what makes places like Facebook and Twitter so toxic.

For some context I don't consider things like forums to be social media. As an early internet denizen I had lots of thoughtful discourse with folks that reminds me of what I experience at HN. I continue to use IRC, which I also don't consider to be social media.

So what makes them different? I think it's the underlying technology. The graph, our ability to search it and correlate immediate (mostly irrelevant) commonality is what makes things dangerous.

Humans are full of dumb or awful thoughts. They'll combat these ideas or thoughts with alternatives regularly which end up referring to as cognitive dissonance. The result is that these lesser ideas widdle away or drop off completely. On social media, the graph doesn't forget and continues to tie you to people, ideas, and thoughts that are increasingly useless. While this sells ads and generates interest in new products it doesn't align well to the way humans have discourse, socialize, or just relate in general.

That to say, HN isn't social media to me.
Yeah it's expensive, but nevertheless it's lovely classy stuff.

Ignatius Loyola, founder of the Jesuit religious order, set up a daily ritual to help keep himself (and those in the order) centred:

> Relish the moments that went well and all of the gifts I have today.

> Request the Spirit to lead me through my review of the day.

> Review the day.

> Resolve, in concrete ways, to live tomorrow well.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spiritual_Exercises_of_Ignatiu...

If you go online you can probably find a Jesuit retreat centre not too far from you where you can spend (say) eight days in total silence and seclusion; you can optionally (though recommended) talk with a spiritual director once a day to help you sort through anything that bubbles up during your stay.

The BBC had a short doc where a bunch of random men and women went through the exercise (episodes are available online if you search):

* https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2117584/

Perhaps worthwhile, even if that is not your particular worldview.

(This is separate than what monks do, which is seclusion from the world.)

Most faiths in the world have spiritual traditions where silence and reflection are done. Probably possible to find similar retreat centres following their traditions. It seems that it is only the modern secular worldview that hasn't adopted something (yet?). I think this is something most modern philosophical worldviews (especially in the materialist bend) overlook: human 'spiritually' (for lack of a better word).
Commutation and Scalability
Sharing Code Between Projects
Main issue is, D is suffering from "Lisp curse" [0]. Read the Lisp curse article, but exchange Lisp for D and you'll have a good idea of the problem.

D is very similar to Lisp in many aspects. It's a powerful language which allows you to create your own minilanguage within a language. In Lisp, you'd do it with macros, in D you can use templates. This makes it a secret weapon which appeals to lone wolf programmers, but it makes it harder to interact within a wider community. Similar with the language features. D allows multiple paradigms, as a result, many libraries don't interact well together. Some people code in OOP fashion, some people refuse to use the garbage collector, some people even reject the entire runtime (betterC_mode).

Yes but that is all included in an ISA. A CPU ISA specifies opcodes as well as semantics. Together that affects what optimizations you can do. Or rather how much silicon and brain power you need to accomplish it.
Why can't these services have a more realistic pricing model. Like you pay once for storage, and per amount of data used, and power?

Paying a monthly fee for data you don't access seems like a dishonest pricing model. (I can see that a part of the fee has to be per-month, but it shouldn't be so large).

My opinion is that death doesn't have to be sad. That's all a matter of perspective. It shouldn't necessarily be celebrated (death itself, not the person who died), but it does help to remember that often times, death means the end of suffering and pain.
How is it clickbait? The title says it compares a specific CPU model vs another specific CPU model and that is exactly what it does. Where do you see deception in the title?

>Show me an x86 laptop in the same power envelope that can match the fanless MacBook Air with the m1. I’ll wait. Oh and do so at roughly 1k.

How does this prove that the title is lying?

>On the desktop the Mac mini is 699 USD in its base spec. The 5800X is 500 euros on its own before motherboard, case, ram etc etc.

Again, how is this relevant to whether the title is clickbait or not?

>Apples to apples benchmarks either controlling for power or price would make for a more relevant article.

Seriously, what does this have to do with clickbait?

Here is my perspective. I saw lots of articles that pretended that the M1 is better than all x86 CPUs including Ryzens (one of them is linked in the article). This was getting on my nerves because everyone is being dishonest. I clicked on this article because the title compared a Ryzen desktop CPU with the M1 with the expectation that these benchmarks disprove the garbage journalism and that's exactly what I got. The Ryzen 5800X performs better than the M1. x86 is still strong in single core performance. Those real "clickbait" articles were just lazy and trying to hype something up.

This article is not clickbait and you are just being dishonest.
The crew of the Enterprise wants to be there. Not in a "I need food and shelter and this is a good way to get it" kind of way, but in the "I can do whatever I want and I choose this" kind of way.

Abolishing work means abolishing the false choice between a job and homelessness. People can still be paid to do things. Unpleasant work might need to pay better rather than depend on a desperate underclass. People will probably still clean toilets if you pay them enough, or maybe they will simply out of a sense of responsibility. What if we had the resources to provide for everyone's basic needs while paying people enough to keep things running, even when they have an actual choice? What if we have the resources, already?

You ask about artistic megaprojects. Well, what about them? Maybe billion-dollar movies don't get made. I think we'll do fine without them. Maybe AAA games aren't ground out by a machine of worker exploitation. They aren't worth it, anyway. No game could be. But I think it's crazy to think that you won't have people who want to organize into groups and create things. If everyone in the tech industry is given their basic needs for free, do you think everybody will go home? Or will some of them still do it for some extra money and because they find it rewarding? People who like their jobs like them for reasons beyond The need for money.

Today, the way we get farming, cooking, cleaning, manufacturing, etc., is primarily by exploitation. I think that our society should refuse to accept that that is inevitable. The idea that things only get done if you force people to do them lies at the corrupted heart of our economic system. We should reject it and build a just world, or we should die trying.

It is important to note that my book is not an alternative to "Domain-Driven Design" by Eric Evans. Rather, it is an introduction to DDD, an explanation of CQRS and Event Sourcing and an implementation guide. Also, it is not explaining how to approach and model complex domain problems. I wouldn't consider myself experienced in that. Everything I worked with so far was rather trivial.

I can very much relate to your experience with projects that applied CQRS and Event Sourcing. In fact, the longest project I worked on was a negative example. The patterns were used as part of the system architecture. Their use was never justified with any reason specific to the domain or the business. In the end, some parts of the system would have been better off with a completely different architecture.

I already have convinced project teams to not use Event Sourcing when they thought they needed it. Also, I often hear it being conflated with Event-Driven Architecture.
I think Pascal said not all, but four-fifths.

Everyone born before 1600? Or maybe anyone who has done winter survival training. Hunger and cold have been with us since the beginning. The spiritual and meditative practices we’re talking about here were developed when these things were just daily facts of life and like other animals we’re adapted to deal with them as a matter of course. Modern humans live lives of luxury unknown to even the wealthiest and most fortunate people in the past. If you want a concrete modern example I’d offer Wim Hof.
> It seems like management is the same almost everywhere. Bad.

If you perceive almost all management is bad, perhaps your standards are unrealistically high.

Just playing the devil’s advocate here based on the top comment but what do we really mean when we say this meeting could be an email?

Perhaps, the meeting isn’t interactive enough? Why have a meeting at all if not everyone in the meeting is providing input/asking questions? If the topic is already done and decided and the chapter is closed, I agree it could be an email to a list and you can reach out to the presenter with questions.

Things like when a boss calls a meeting to say we are working from home until further notice and nobody is allowed to talk. But if we allow people to raise their hand and ask questions and things can change based on participant input then maybe a meeting is warranted? Just thinking out loud...
I don't know what you are talking about. The problem with fake information is that you have to spend more resources debunking it than it takes to create fake information in the first place.

> First, it's only natural that as you get better as a developer, the only questions you need to finally ask StackOverflow are harder questions with a smaller audience.

That will be true, but it does contradict your original statement that there haven't been 0-answer questions which were worth answering. Particularly an experienced developer is way more likely to pose a reasonable question.

> "StackOverflow is really going down in quality" would not be the right conclusion.

I did not complain about quality, I actually did not complain about StackOverflow. I just expressed an obvious change in the landscape.
My counterpoint to this is: do you realize how many new Windows machines come with such terrible hard drives that your ask would bring the machine to a near stop for hours?

This is one of those places where Microsoft has let the OEMs that install Windows on 5400rpm hard drives or slower to this day ruin the experience for others. Hence we get this weird performance detection system that tries to guess how slow your system is when it comes to search and seemingly fails miserably at all cases.
