I've never had this particular problem because I've never had the necessary focus for a dream to be "life-long"; I've got the opposite problem, a bazzillion "for-now" dreams. Unfortunately that lack of long-term focus can really slow your stride, but on the plus side, pivoting is easy (too easy) and you never look back.

I've certainly been disappointed to find certain paths were unexpectedly difficult and "not worth it" for me, but I can't say I regret leaving them; usually part of what made the path difficult was the lure of another path.

I also wonder if having dreams involving physical stamina make them harder to let go of. Ballet, for instance, is very physically demanding, and aging will cost you; you can't just take a 10 year break. Whereas if I dream of building a certain piece of software, it actually gets easier because the tools get better and age gives me experience.

I've also always been weary of dreams that depend on something too beyond your control, such as winning a certain award. You can do your best, but you can't force others to do worse.

(ETA: On a spiritual note, I don't think the achievement of any dream should be the foundation of the worth of one's life. That is, your existence in and of itself has more intrinsic value to the world than the achievement of any personal dream.)
Good point, didn't know that this frame was before any postprocessing.
Maybe this is the answer: https://pharo.org/success
I'd say, don't disable the tips that show at startup and try to incorporate them into your workflow. Maybe make some notes of the ones that seem most useful and try to refer back to them, before long you'll find your fingers remember the shortcuts.
I've heard about things like that.

Wouldn't such redefinition make more sense to be isolated in a newly spawned universe? That way the whole system would not collapse yet you could still play with such concepts.
Not to say that Apple doesn’t have other options, but I don’t think they can “push a fix via antivirus”. XProtect can remove software (like Zoom), but I don’t believe it can reconfigure the system.
Not that it really matters, but is it only me or she is not actually "black" but most likely of mixed race (almost certainly mostly white, given her skin tone)? I mean, people seem to quite literally only see races in black/white, where any hint of non-white blood makes you black, as if white were the only pure race... they consider people "black" whenever they are very slightly tanned or have curly hair? It's interesting to me how when you have a white parent and a black parent, you're going to be called "black" (even though having half white and half black genes, you might be equally called white) as if that were a problem you have.
I agree. However, I disagree with this statement:

"Former Googler Leslie Miley said he does not believe Google would have handled it the same way if Gebru were a white man. "

James Damore was also fired from Google, also in a controversy about ethics. I think this is really about freedom of expression, and debate. It's impossible to have this within (and outside) a corporation, because employees are not protected enough.

This could be solved by having stronger unions. Unfortunately, the minority card is now used to divide the employees. I suggest listening to something of what Adolph Reed says about this.
Not familiar with the specifics of the SQLite situation, but moving away from 100% means maintaining an exceptions list, introducing complexity and room for error (eg mistakenly adding exceptions when you can't figure out how to reach a branch).

If they are at 100% today, it'd be a very convincing argument to keep it that way.
EU law applies to EU citizens abroad, so unless you have a means of detecting the nationality (not the location) of the user, this is still illegal. Plus, even for EU visitors who decline consent at the prompt that you received, they still include heaps of tracking crap.
> That's probably because you have not suffered to be the only people of your country/race/culture in a company.

A whole lot of immigrants have gone through this. None of them are represented by the usual minority voices. The only minorities that ever get attention are women and blacks.

And the reason for that is that these minorities have disproportionate influence and visibility in the public sphere.
I did read that, again, not everybody can follow that, by that I do mean what he wrote in that thread, not what he did.
Well, the time-reversed waves can't have the same electric and magnetic fields as the original forward waves, because they travel in the opposite direction. In principle the reversal can be achieved by flipping the sign either the electric or magnetic fields. This reversed wave still would "look like" the reversal of the original wave, as the light intensities match.

In practice I expect that the mechanism to be much more involved than this. Traditional holography works by capturing a fine grained picture of light intensities on a surface or even in a volume, but it doesn't capture all possible information, certainly not both the electric and magnetic fields at a given time point. It looks like the researchers use a novel holographic technique to capture more information than normally possible.

> In traditional holography, a 2D diffractive element encodes the complex amplitude of a 2D wavefront, which can be recreated by illuminating the element with a spatial reference beam. This new device can be thought of as an extension of this to an extra dimension; a three-dimensional (3D) diffractive element, which when illuminated with a reference pulse in a reference spatial mode, will reconstruct a fully volumetric optical field (2 transverse space and 1 time/longitudinal space). It is a type of reprogrammable space-time hologram.

So... we're agreeing? :-)

I was criticizing Git for not using diffs/patches as a regular version control user would expect.
I think the total discount on the ‘all products’ pack is now 40% after two years of usage, so I’m paying 15/month for literally all my IDE’s

Pretty good deal if you ask me. Now if only I could do remote development like in VSCode.
Personally, I want someone with an activist mindset doing research in ethics in AI. There's too much passivity and techno-worship in AI already. I don't extend this to every domain of work or technology, but I want someone who is committed to not institutionalizing the same biases in technology that are already institutionalized in society.

Maybe that makes me too "woke" or whatever from the libertarian segment of HN.
I would love to try it. Do you have a plan for a .NET Core SDK?
I cannot be as magical due to Javascript's dynamic typing. In Java/Kotlin, the IDE can know all about your classes, types, etc., but with Javascript is has to make some guesses.

I am using Webstorm for my side project and have to use Visual Studio Code for company work. Webstorm is so much better IMO. Everything feels to well integrated, while Visual Studio Code always feels like a toy to me.
I'm a big fan and user of PyCharm for many years, but we all know that when my fan starts going and the laptop wants to take off, we can guarantee that PyCharm is indexing ;)
Turbulence and length compression are good evidence, but in theory not sufficient to infer the speed of the arrow: The arrow could have been squeezed and air turbulence induced some other way. These alone then would not make the arrow fly in the suspected direction.
> password handling workflows are now the email provider's problem.

if the web app isn't critical, I think that's a great solution. If the application is critical, then you have to pull in the e-mail system as critical component from your application (as critical as the database, application server and etc)
Care to explain what you mean by this? The reasons why is quite clear in the article.

Show HN: New SaaS website ready for feedback
Please take a look at https://r4nkt.com and provide feedback.

I'm interested in community input on the following:
- how does the site look/feel?
- is it clear what service is being offered?
- is the service itself a good idea that can find a foothold in the marketplace?

Of course, I'd love to hear any feedback, positive or negative, so long as it's constructive.

I'm also happy to field questions, of course.

Thanks for your time. :-)
Great analogy.

I see how this sort of attitude can be seen as mad/neurotic. However the good side is that it prevents adding more complexity (rules for when to annotate/not annotate is adding complexity).
Try some of the refactoring options. It’s the only IDE I know that automatically takes care of all the references if I move files, but especially functions and classes around.

We had a huge file with tons of functions inside, and using Intellij it was a simple matter to move them all to their own files (and not have to update any imports anywhere).
If I can't get a machine for local development I wouldn't care personally. I like the idea of many many threads as I work a lot with data, but i need something like a PC to try things on.

Also, don't really like vendor lock-in.
I got downvoted for what? pointing out some inconvenient truth?
As a coeliac diagnosed at 36, I'd urge you to get tested - as TFA documents, coeliac disease's symptoms can present in other conditions too, and CD is a risk factor for other conditions like schizophrenia.

I do miss pizza, beer & bread. And I really miss just being able to order anything from a menu when I'm out with friends. But having to avoid gluten has opened up a tonne of new foods to me, and I've gotten pretty good at cooking (by necessity!) too.
I recently stumbled upon the Jetbrains TV youtube channel specifically this one about Go [1]. I don't have Goland specifically but it's really nice that if you have a licensed Ultimate edition of the IDE, you get all that. I have been using IntelliJ for many years now (on a personal license)but pleasantly surprised how many nice/useful features are a key stroke away. Would recommend a quick watch.

One thing that helped me in the beginning was the plugin "Key Promoter X" which suggests keyboard shortcuts on every action.
well deserved
This is an interesting technique but it seems like premature premature optimization.
I think as late as 2005 there were moments where I just said "screw this I'm using a table" while everyone screamed about how that's semantically wrong and what you really need is an elaborate series of hacks and misuse of CSS properties.

Flex and grid was the moment I cared about doing things right. Even now I use grid a lot because I find it works as well in 3d as 2d and I get CSS disciples trying to correct me.
Didn't they build the architecture and then chuck it?
Yep, buyouts happen here more often than IPOs, just recently Socialbakers got acquired by Astute, and Integromat got acquired Celonis.

Also this is where Sun acquired NetBeans way back in 99.
No, not due to fear. It's just somewhat easier to sell their products using a EU based legal entity. Another example would be Yandex, registered in the Nethelands.

JetBrains main dev offices are in St Petersburg, Moscow, Novosibirsk.
I've used Jetbrains products for five years. Updates are consistently an improvement. Even performance improvements from time to time, which is fantastic since it is a heavy java application. They were quick on the take with Docker integration, latest Cmake updates, even some Go2 generics support already.
All I want to see are pageviews. That shouldn’t require cookies/fingerprints.
This survey doesn't have a case for those who know of Nim but have yet to try it out. Expect a lot of 'other' responses to read through.
I don't want to seem like a complainer, but AppCode is still not working as good as I'd like (indexing is really slow, misses out of a lot features that other Jetbrains products have, and also extra bugs). But it's still 5x better than XCode. And thats the point, they're making a better iOS development environment than Apple

They miss out on some features where you have to XCode, but this is Apple's fault.
Huge fan, couldn't be happier for their success based on delivering untold dev productivity & joy. Great example of a customer focused Co's achieving success through relentless product focus.

All their products are amazing, I'm on the all products pack subscription which is insane value - by far the best value commercial software I've ever used that's always ahead of the competition and gets smarter with every release.
I am from Brazil, "Donald the dove" is not a bizarre thing, from what I saw except his antagonism against Iran, he been trying to stop wars.

He is the first president in the past 40, 50 years I think, that didn't start any conflict.

Also he been trying to pull out troops, to the point officials lied to him about troop movements to prevent him from pulling more troops (O.o I am surprised people will let that one fly...)

Biden on the other hand already appointed as secretary of defense a guy on the board of Raytheon...
Try using Typescript? It feels like magic to me anyway :)

No https://www.w3.org/TR/tracking-dnt/ The problem with DNT is not its specification but that the largest chunk of the industry does not adhere to it. Instead they nag their users with annoying cookie overlays.

It is supported by all common browsers except Safari: https://caniuse.com/do-not-track
Tomato 2 – Mac app for Pomodoro technique
Thank the gods for JetBrains. I love their software.

Excellent business model, I get to keep the software I bought when the license expires. Never forced to continually pay for something you don't see value in updating. I think that's one of the key factors which drives them to continue to improve their products. If future version of their products wasn't vastly improved over the previous then people wouldn't upgrade because their current version serves them perfectly fine. And if you don't like this years update, maybe you'll like next years. No downsides whatsoever.

Never used any of their TeamCity/Spaces stuff but it looks cool. I can definitely say I'm a fan of their IDEs though. Use them every day.
That's not exactly what I mean; that's just one of many different CSV variants (and just because it's an RFC doesn't make it "official" either). What I mean is something like:

$ cat file.csv
CSV,quote=always,quotechar=",header=yes,delim=,
Col1,Col2
"val","val2"
[..]

Then you always know what you're dealing with, unambiguously.

There are other cases where embedding some "metadata" in CSV files is useful; for example the exports I create in my app are versioned by prefixing the first header with the version number. It works, but it's not exactly great.

Of course, the downside is legacy software not being able to process it.
Not LGM sadly
Datagrip.

I honestly still cannot understand why their database product does not show the encoding/collation for fields in mysql (and has no way to do it either).
Yeah, actually what he's saying is applicable at a wide range of IQ levels etc. Even if you're not a genius you sure can be the most knowledgable person in town for x. Just that x can't be too IQ demanding. There are tons of people having good careers being this person in for example infrastructure construction(the physical version).
I really like this quote from the CEO (Maxim Shafirov):

“Basically, we wrote all this so that making software would be a pleasant and creative process.”
Surprisingly concise and fun article! I hadn't seen the "Fluffy Center" technique before. I'm not sure I really get it though – the video and the text showing different code is only adding to the confusion. Is it 15vmin or 10ch? What does "Word space is gap" mean?
If they wanted genuinely independent research they would just put x million dollars into some trust which would fund ring fenced research positions at a University for the next ten or twenty years.

The idea of someone being independent while directly on payroll (and reporting to Google management or even the Alphabet board) is ridiculous.

Unions at best enact the will of the workers and I wonder if most Google employees would prefer all this ethical drama to just stop. In that case a union would most likely have a rule banning all debates on controversial or non-work topics (on the job using google equipment). Which would lower the amount of debate rather than increase it. Unions aren't a magical solution to all problems.
This question is a bit of a hornet's nest that is probably best handled with some outside reading. It's a complicated question. Here's a place to start that gives a bit more context: https://insight.kellogg.northwestern.edu/article/how-are-bla...

I think the "one-drop rule" has cast a long, long legacy on racial identification.
A definitive diagnosis requires an endoscopy (at least it did a few years ago when my daughter was diagnosed) but there's a blood test which is indicative. It's probably worth it for you to get the blood test.
Agreed - JetBrains is one of those companies where their products speak for themselves, and I happily pay every year.

Absolutely money well spent.
So efficiency?
I sadly don't think this will make any difference. In fact, it might've had more impact if Terence did this before the suit.

Speaking of which: the Texas suit itself, on the other hand, just might make that difference. (Discussed: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25448718)
CSV is a bad a idea if you work with text or string. I work a lot with data transformation, and CSV with text usually means headache. Not to mention if you treat data from different countries.

Excel is too limited, odf formats are typically not very extended outside OO or LOffice..., same with parquet and other file formats. Sadly this is how it is.

You can use SQLite as a file for moving data around, as I do, but I guess it's not practical for everyone.
Actually I doubt that they aren't getting something out of Android Studio and Kotlin usage as Java replacement on Android.
From people with more experience than me: does JAX have a good story about how to manage state cleanly, where it needs to occur?
Sure there are some places to improve.

My only complaint is with the remote features, now with covid. I want to seamlessly work as if I was sitting in the office (I can ssh to the machine).

My current setup is to sshfs mount my remote code, install a conda env on my laptop mirroring the office one, and execute things in a terminal window. PyCharm then becomes an editor, autocompleter, refactoring tool, code navigation tool etc, but I don't do debugging within it.

There is some SSH and remote interpreter options but it's limited and hard to use. You can't directly work on the remote files, it uses a model of publishing your changes to the remote and keeps multiple copies etc. Several of us spent quite some time trying to come up with a good workflows for this but some rather use remote desktops or X forwarding because it's not straightforward.
> getting career advice from John Carmack is just like getting career advice from a lotto winner, not everyone has the luck/genius

To a large extent, career success is the result of a combination of hard work and luck. The more you have of one, the less you have to rely on the other.

> Tesla was founded (as Tesla Motors) on July 1, 2003 by Martin Eberhard and Marc Tarpenning in San Carlos, California ... A lawsuit settlement agreed to by Eberhard and Tesla in September 2009 allows all five (Eberhard, Tarpenning, Wright, Musk and Straubel) to call themselves co-founders
There is a technique I see none of the other comments have hit upon.

First, know concentration is a skill, so develop that. I can tell you how to muscle up but if you can't pull up then knowing how won't help.

You are able to convince yourself you're interested in something by asking questions about it. Create the space in your brain that wants the knowledge to be in there. Find a question you genuinely want to know the answer to. There's usually at least something. This is how I was able to maintain focus on reading atomic physics, funnily enough, it's now the most prominent thing I remember from my degree.
TLDR:

> The stated goal of the AMP AC is to “make AMP a great web citizen.”

> I am concerned that – despite the hard work of the AC – Google has limited interest in that goal.

A "search engine" is completely affecting the culture, technology usage and (directly and indirectly) lives of the people. This is yet another reminder that we need to get rid of the AMP plague.
Is it common to put fake features in silicon to make reverse engineering harder?
Here's a fairly detailed article on the issue:

The main points are increased efficiency and decreased maintenance costs.
It definitely isn't as versatile as the champions of centering from OP's article. But it's a related use case that the other techniques cannot solve. And of course the approach can be varied to some extend: https://jsfiddle.net/31gftbxs/
If you take him at his word then whatever he saw was not something we know how to build. Not unless you have a blimp that can go from hovering over the ocean to matching a Super Hornet in a tight spiral, cut across the middle and accelerate so fast that it’s gone in a blink. He could be lying though.
2/3 of their building in Prague is offices and it's very expensive and used by both high profile startups and corporations. I haven't seen corporations out of their rooms.

I know that the point of this book is stated to be "that there's a clearly visible coarse-grained order that drives biological and social life."

I'm sorry, I'm probably dumb, but I'm not getting the "point" of the book based on this summary.

All the examples shown seem to say: See there are macro trends happening, some of them are exponential. And here are some correlations that prove they have an affect on the real world, seee?

Can someone explain what I'm missing?

Edit: I guess maybe the point is we need to pick up the pace of innovation as a society?
Wait, lifeless and geologically inactive seem to be very different things, no?

Even the moon has geological activity. Anything big enough will feel tidal gravity forces at least, and that energy has to go somewhere. I would have thought the more relevant factor is whether the planet can "absorb" the energy like a rubber ball (I think it's Titan that has a thin shell over a liquid body that "flexes" as it orbits), or if the forces cause shifts in the solid body.
I tend to run into performance regressions maybe once year after upgrading one of their non-Intellij products. I suppose this is because they mostly use Intellij internally so less dog fooding for other products.
Don't fool yourself. It's only over if YOU think it's over. The Mercurial ecosystem is actually getting better and better.
