What’s the battery life like on your PC?

It sounds like the things you care about are raw performance per £, and other factors are not important.

If that’s what you are looking for then the Air is not for you, but it doesn’t mean it’s expensive. It just means you don’t need the things it offers for the money.

If you do care about battery life, then the M1 Air is cheaper than the only comparable alternative - the M1 MacBook Pro.

Nobody else even makes anything comparable.
Our universe is huge. We dont even a number to describe the amount of planets out there.

If there is life on earth that come from a single cell organism, there will be millions of life forms that evolve.

Aliens is not fact more like a belief. I grew up with x-files so i want to believe.

If there are man made or alien made advanced crafts, governments and secret agencies in government will have vastly intelligence about them.

This is the interesting part and important part: if government approves that there are objects that uses technology and physics in different ways , this will challenge thousands of minds that will lead to disruption in the tech and physics.

Deplatforming is isolation and in a sense, this already happened on reddit because they could isolate their own topic ( eg. TheDonald) from other opinions ( eg. Snowflake).

I'm not sure where the sitting is, but the ones radicalizing right now don't get a counter opinion.

Speaking of names, in the abstract of the paper they mention:

> Curry (“Composition”, 1948)

And suddenly I was like wow I wonder if the concept of currying was invented by this guy so I look it up. Turns out that while someone else is credited for inventing currying, it’s named after this Curry guy indeed. And more things are named after him, including the Haskell programming language.

This is holocaust level work.
This is the way that very few languages work. Python is a great example of an extremely popular, mature language that does not work this way. It is unclear that most people think that this sort of process is required for “maturity.”

If this is the benchmark, then among popular languages you basically have C, C++, C#, JavaScript, and... is that it?
Completely agree. The first step is to make everywhere in the world baseline ok to live.
Spotify's algorithm clearly doesn't know how to find music I like, but it's (afaik) a harmless heuristic that accidentally gets it right a few times.
The best analogy to help low-information people understand this is to just remind them that AT&T owns the hardware and can shut down people too. Do we want powerful companies to be allowed to censor Americans at their whim is the question. I say no.
This has nothing to do with conservatism. I am banned from /r/conservative for posting conservative beliefs. Don't be fooled by the labels being used. Being anti-left is not the same as being conservative. Fascism, just to give one example, is anti-left but it's not conservative in any traditional American sense of the word.

Maybe you could more accurately say this is about the "right wing"? Actual dyed-in-the-wool conservatives seem to want nothing to do with Trump or Qanon or any of this stuff, which seems to have little to nothing to do with conservative values.

I see a lot of conservatives turning towards Biden and Harris, who to me appear to be actually very conservative. Harris is a literal cop, and Biden's platform is basically "let's get back to normal". I'm not a fan, but I understand why conservatives would like them.
I find it strange that this blog author keeps submitting these listickles to HN until they hit the front page like this. To me that seems like this is less good content and more blogspam. See for yourself: https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=neilkakkar.com
That seems fair. Though, personally, as long as it can federate, I am less concerned about p2p. Some very nice features are a lot harder (impossible?) to make work in a pure p2p setup whereas federation seems to give you the best of both worlds. (AKA the benefits of an always-available server without the vender lock.)

That is actually the big thing I don't like about Signal. If Open Wisper Systems decides tomorrow to turn off their server, everyones' Signal client are broke...
If you broke the TOS of your water company, would it be acceptable for them to cut the water connection to your house?

I mean if you don't like it, you could always just go pick up your own water...or install underground pipes to a local water source.
Aside, but on similar lines:

I have to keep reminding myself that everyone isn't like me.

In my private talks with myself, I refer to this skill as modelling other people well: in effect, I'm trying to build models for different kinds of people.

There's lots of different kinds, and a few broad types show up, explaining most of their (general / broad) actions.

This is still very much a work in progress for myself too, but would be very interesting to see if I get somewhere substantial.
Good suggestion. But ... For some reason, you wrote a message not on the wall in the cafe, but on this forum ...
Even something like a public benefit corporation in a state with more strict reporting requirements could even fill the same niche, without dealing with the rigamarole of obtaining/maintaining 501(c)3 status. It'd be interesting to see how the corporate charter would be written.

> But there is a business reality where you can say "I don't know which architecture option is better, give me 3 months to do some prototyping and I can make a definite decision".

And now back to your original claim. You need 3 months of prototyping only to reach a decision, but you still insist that it's an "easy" problem?

Then there's a problem that prototypes often don't uncover unknown unknowns. Investing effort into prototype improves your chances at arriving at correct solution but by no means guarantee it.
Such great resource! Huge props to the authors for making this freely available.
Yes, the premiums on the long dated OTM SPY are still historically rich. My long is actually in ES futures and I have managed to sell near OTM calls high enough to not be called away while still defraying the cost of the SPY puts a bit. Any any event, best viewed as sleep at night insurance.

I find it helpful to look not at OMG the Vol! but what you are paying as a % of current market for insurance, annualized. For instance, $21 for Dec 22 300 puts on SPY is about 2.75%/yr. Obviously the delta won't go to 1 even in a tank due to vol and time, but it will cover some of the fall in the short term and if it is prolonged, everything below 300.
OnlyFans seems to be having no issues. I do find it funny how "this site is filled with a lot of rape and child porn" is being framed as "it's being cancelled for no reason." No, there is a reason and other sites with better policies aren't being targeted.

I hope you get to experience that! My worst computer recently has been a Thinkpad running Linux, basic things like suspending the laptop when it closes just never work properly.

But I'm sure the year of Linux on the desktop will come one day.
I'm surprised that the most obvious example of platforms getting in the way and real life imitating Idiocracy has not been mentioned: the Boeing 737 MAX.

This is a plane where the engineers cut corners all so the business could beat their competitor. The focus was on the short-term. They broke the fundamental abstractions that the pilot is specialized on. And the results speak for themselves: hundreds of people dead, and a multi-billion dollar fiasco.
> Given that many people are explicitly talking about January 18th and January 19th violent action

Unless one of those "many people" is Lynn Wood himself, that doesn't count. You can't just stitch statements from multiple unspecified people together to meet the requirements. Now, he's said a lot of things and maybe there's something not mentioned here that I don't know about that rises to that standard, but the fact that you think that merely "daydreaming" can rise to the standard shows me that you probably haven't read what they were saying in https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brandenburg_v._Ohio
Are you trying to imply this is the end of pornography? Cause that's super not going to happen, they will just move onto other sites that may or may not be more "sketchy".

I daily drive a lenovo duet and its absolutely the closest thing to perfection in the modern computing realm. Its a surface go but running arm and chromeos and it flies thru all of my webapps like Framer, Figma, Plectica, Notion, Photopea, Visual Studio Code, Blender etc

m1 is scary fast, but also x64 is dead and needs to be transitioned to the new age. Apple or not this is a major shift in the dev market

and not only in $800+ price

the duet is $300
IIRC they introduced a cluster management fee in GKE.
There's something amusing about cast iron lore that scares so many people away. So many folks - myself included before I actually started using it - think that you must properly season it or it'll rust up, and you'll never get it back. And that it takes so much effort to do just right. Honestly, it seems pretty hard to get wrong. My ~$20 Lodge skillet from Target has lasted eight years in the kitchen and camping, taking tons of abuse without any apparent wear.

I have a friend who literally didn't even scrape food off his pan when we was done cooking - just let it cool and put it away. When he took it out weeks later, it was green and fuzzy, and he just cranked up the heat until it smoked, and then scraped it clean. That's more than a bit extreme for me, but perhaps an example of how rugged it is.

I also really like my De Buyer high carbon steel skillet, but if I leave it out for 15 minutes without thoroughly drying it, it starts turning orange from rust. It's a bit finicky for me now that I've come to love my cast iron.
Would be a nice secondary business idea for some to create an ad company to cater to smaller online platforms like yours without requiring user data. Another complicated prospect but at least it would give you a starting point.

There's also things like https://coil.com/ who seem like they help support online content creators. I wonder if there's a way to treat search results like "content".
Thanks a lot! That's great. With a book like that I prefer a printed version.
I have worked in this field since 1980. The first time I was given the title "Software Engineer" was at Apple in 2001. Was I really a trained, licensed engineer in the traditional sense? Of course not. But it sure made me feel flattered and empowered. Silicon Valley HR execs use strategies like this to manipulate their employees, particularly the youngest ones.
Sure, but the parent poster seems to imply that banning people who incite violence on social media is somehow a new thing or "going nuclear" with censorship.

Trump got clapped not because of censorship, but because social media platforms decided to no longer exempt him from their TOS because of his position. Any normal person posting similar content would have been banned ages ago. Besides, he is the POTUS who can go on TV any time he wants. Thinking that he cannot get his message out there is ridiculous.
The article also says they have solved that problem, by deleting all videos not uploaded by "verified users". So I don't see why the credit card companies wouldn't unblock it relatively soon.
Completely agree. My "pre-seasoned" cast iron from Target was the best purchase I ever made.
Does it not already have them if the programmer elect for it by choosing `repr(C)`, or is there more to it than that?
Feed hasn't bought any ETFs or stocks. Just a minor amount of bonds.
The most mind-blowing part of the 16-inch MacBook Pros are really the speakers, which are really nice for laptop speakers. However, that's also quite sad that it's the highlight.
I hope you're right.

The obituaries for Trump's popularity have been predicted so many times that it's hard to be confident that "This Time It's Different."
Yep I had to get a dock, but it's fine. I just plug in one cable and everything is connected.

Wood doesn't rot in space, and causes just as much damage as metal if it strikes something at orbital speeds.
This article was somewhat substantiative from a technical (hacker) dev setup point of view, but also a little scanty. Homebrew, Go, and Parallels use on Apple Silicon have all been brought up before.

I do agree that there's enough articles covering the same review feedback. The M1 machines seem to be universally lauded, there's plenty of buzz out there, I'm not sure what the downside is there besides certain software not being able to run on them yet. Personally I'm willing to wait a year to see what the second gen machines will look like, but that's based on my own preferences and curiosity.
They are not compelled to do anything for general citizens. They are in some cases compelled to treat certain classes of people the same way they treat other classes. That doesn’t compel them to do something they never would do, it compels them to do the things they already do for some, for all.

Those businesses are also free to close up shop if they can’t handle it. If they are dumb enough to explicitly say they don’t want to do something for a certain legally protected class of individual solely due to their belonging to that class, then IMO they deserve to lose their shirt.
You're right. Just found these directions here and it seems far simpler than whatever I was looking at months ago:

Does anyone have any advice on how to make the most out of books like these? I'm trying to read more textbooks in subjects that I really phoned in during college this year. My current strategy is to make some note cards and take notes (which is kind of tedious), wondering if anyone has any advice as to their own workflows.
This is a great list. I’m taking over a bootstrapped family business, and a lot of what you wrote echos the founders’ (my parents) sentiment.

> 2. Do not think you/your product/your team/your approach are any different or unique

I have a hard time struggling with this, especially as I’m trying to SaaSify the business and see a never-ending list of competitors and substitutes out there. Maybe that’s being too product focused, but I’m curious to see how you got past this. I think there’s non-product aspects to consider (support, pricing, etc.)

> 6. Do not be afraid to charge

> 8. Only those who pay you money have to decide which features to add

These two are so true, and my parents say this all the time. So many prospective/existing clients express interest in a particular feature, only to never follow through with committing to contracts or paying anything.

They usually come with the excuse of one of the three buckets:

-The product should’ve had feature X to begin with

-They’re willing to be a guinea pig to beta test feature X in exchange for the whole product to be free (not a discounted price) since without feature X it’s a dealbreaker

-They can’t afford the price and we’re charging too much

For the latter, we’ve done price analyses across similar products online and found that our price points are competitive, so we can (usually, if the salespeople of our company have backbone) push back.

It reminds me of telling artists and graphic designers to do work “for exposure”, to which I really want to reply with the Goodfellas reference of “fuck you, pay me”.

> 9. Carefully choose co-founders

Corollary: NEVER choose your spouse or family members as co-founders. I can’t speak about friends as I don’t have personal experience, but the personal and professional get really intertwined even if both sides try to set boundaries. My parents and I still get along fine, but I just don’t like having the burden of mixing professional and personal.

> 11. Things that no one actually cares about at the beginning

In my experience (which is very likely wildly different), I find the logo and the founders’ background to be important. With our clients I’ve found that I had to name drop a couple times on my background (ex-FAANG) or pull the nepotism card several times to close a deal or reassure a client. A new logo and a new UI also gives a great first impression to our existing clients who’ve seen a 90s style UI.
Indeed, my mistake. All the independents I know are in private even if they don’t earn that much, so I assumed it was required.
The namespace is pretty cluttered at this point. Most posts on HN about a new app/project/library/etc have at least one "name is already taken by ...." post under them.
"if you find it acceptable to watch ads (I don't), use it"

"I mostly use Google"

Are you trolling?
Safe? From what?

The current social media purge is against people calling for violent acts. That's somewhat different to calling for reciprocal violence.

You tell me you're a Trumper, I'm probably going to judge you a bit, but I think you have a poor measure of people if you think there's going to be a purge based on the idea of agreeing with Trump.
Mainstream media talking points vary from Trump and his family are breaking norms and traditions in a very dangerous way to our country, all the way to the Biden crime family is going to ruin this country. With major undertones of a lot of hurt, anger, and feeling like there is no hope among minorities or rural whites depending on which sources you choose to consume. Both are true, both need addressed. And it’s likely not a coincidence that both groups think the other’s movement is their enemy.
Vitriolic is an exaggeration. It's a little cynical, for sure, but not necessarily without reason.
I take your point, but I still don't quite agree.

There are obviously plenty of companies that are willing to couple themselves to a single cloud vendor (e.g. Netflix with AWS) and plenty of business continuity risks that companies don't find cost effective to pursue. Has anyone been as vocal about decoupling from CRM or ERB systems as they are with cloud?

My own view is that these kinds of infrastructure projects create as many risks as the solve and happen at least as much because engineers like to solve these kinds of problems than for any other reason.
Thank you for this good example. However, I think there are cases where Score Voting is hard to implement:
If we look at how we rank the countries in the Olympics, we usually look at the medals count. However, a country ranking 4th in every discipline is arguably better than a country ranking 1st in one discipline and last everywhere else. Ranked voting could be used here. It would be difficult to establish the ranking with Score Voting: is being 10% slower in a marathon the same as being 10% shorter in throwing?

I don't really understand how Range Voting is better than Ranked Voting. Won't voters only grade candidates with the maximal or minimal grade to have more impact?
But then, Range Voting was supported by very smart people (eg Balinski, Arrow), so I will try to read more about it and hopefully update my website in the future :)
The MacBook’s past few years in the wilderness gave a lot of Mac users some real uncertainty about the future of their preferred platform. To see not just a return to form but an epochal step forward is something of a unique moment - there’s both relief and excitement.
Sounds great! While we’re at it, “Public Money, Public Research.”
> if I leave it out for 15 minutes without thoroughly drying it, it starts turning orange from rust

The thing cast iron has going for it is that it's black, and black hides a multitude of sins. I'd guess the orange isn't a huge deal, maybe it is though.
The only ethical and correct decision was to resign.

First, he’s likely close to 15% of the budget, so problem solved.

Second, you join a company either so incompetent or venal that they didn’t give you notice they were on the verge of a substantial revenue loss. You’re the CTO, you are one of a small team of leaders with biggest stake in company, and supposed to be part of these discussions. Even before your official start day and especially day one.

So what was it? They knew this was likely to happen but didn’t tell you because they were afraid you’d back out? They are unethical, liars, untrustworthy, I quit.

They didn’t see this coming because the VP of Sales never flagged it as a risk? Ok, the Vp of Sales is either not being transparent or us incompetent, either way fire them, or I quit.

The execs at the top of a small startup need to be a team, brutally honest and transparent with each other. No hiding information, working together to solve problems.

Or I quit.
Having your message broadcasted through Twitter is not a human right or essential to your survival. Also, what kind of TOS would a water company have that you can break? This example is ridiculous.
the duet, the laptop I actually use is $300 which apple does not have a competing product with, its fair to claim in my head that even now its 3x more than what I am paying.

as an ex macbook pro main, I bought 3 of them over the course of last decade and a half and they have always had older intel brains than any xps or razer stealth I would try to cross shop with. after m1 apples price to performance ratio is at unreal levels

A peaceful arrest is still done under the threat of violence though and is still violent. By this logic if I go to a bank with a gun and say, "give me all your money" and they comply without a fight it's not violent?

Edit: plus my first comment described a peaceful arrest, not someone resisting.
But our devs already work on top-of-the-line hardware. If anything, this will bridge the gap for users if they can expect the same performance out of a $1k MacBook that you'd previously expect out of a $3k MacBook.
It really all depends on the methodology. I recommend some reading about 'p-hacking'. It is not that hard to find to find really shocking findings in large datasets -- the question is how hard you look. In this particular case, the question is how many hypotheses have been evaluated, i.e. has the author 'mined the data' for correlations. If yes, then the acceptable p value is much smaller than normal.
Perhaps a history of burning and looting might have had some influence in that difference.

Sometimes I wonder, and serious question here, when the reporter on TV stands in front of a burning building and exclaims the protest is mostly peaceful, do you see the building in background on fire?

I mean, I see the capitol building being broken into and think "that needs to stop, bring in the military if necessary".

Maryland has Baltimore. One of America’s poorest cities. Moving to Maryland won’t solve someone from Mississippi’s problems.
