This weekend I heard directly from a current DOT employee, formerly Dept Of Health, in the FL capitol:

"We were just following the WHO recommendations."

"She's just a web developer and doesn't understand anything about the numbers."
I think spending smartly is more important than simply being frugal.

For instance, when you are buying equipment, you don't buy the cheap stuff just because it's cheap. You buy the best stuff the first time, because you will usually save money over the long run. If you bought the cheap stuff first, and it didn't work or didn't last, but then bought the best stuff later, now you paid extra and wound up at the same place.

This doesn't apply to everything, though. The boss I had who operated this way strictly decided he didn't want the $80 video card in his computer, he wanted a $200 one (which back then was like buying a GeForce 3070 just to run spreadsheet applications on a single monitor).
DeSantis couldn't do a better job of turning her into a hero and himself into a villain.

What do you think will come next? I see her winning a lawsuit against him or some part of the state.
How to Do Market Research
You are right of course, thanks. I got a call as I was finishing my comment and didn't pay enough attention to what I'm typing.
I completely share your sentiment. VSCode is by far my favorite programming environment, its killer features as far as I'm concerned are its excellent debugging functionality and the remote mode (we often work on multiple remote machines simultaneously -- being able to have ad-hoc remote configs is a life-saver!)

The worst part is, ironically, the editor itself. As a former vim user I'd love to have vim keybindings, but the vim extensions are painfully slow and unresponsive. I ended up just using the default in spite of it being incredibly mediocre.
Maybe not forks for eating. But when I buy a pitchfork, I do care about the source of the handle's wood because I do not want to contribute to deforestation. I also look at the repairability. For example, would any standard handle fit? And can I attach one myself? And the "usability" of the handle, and the fork as a whole, is another factor that is important to me. Often, just from handling them, you do get a good feel if the pitchfork makers actually seem to care about their users and know what they are doing or not.
Emacs Application Framework
If it's so easy why did you have to help hundreds of people across several companies set it up?
It doesn't matter what you do, if it experiences some success, no matter how fleeting someone somewhere will get really upset about it. I believe that part of this is connected to the inversion of small-scale private conversations into large-scale text-driven public ones without us really being fully aware of the difference.

Without the context of non-verbal communication or the closeness towards people we've never met we react differently online to offline. I think it's important not to lose sight of the idea that people can blow up online, call you every name under the sun and still be perfectly good people.

I found Innuendo Studios' Why Are You So Angry[1] and SSC's varieties of Argumentative Experience[2] really helpful in coming to terms with my own online behaviour. There's also a pg essay[3] that's fairly relevant. I particularly enjoyed Rationality.org's double-cruxing approach[4].

Right now I'm focusing on avoiding continuing discussions at the point they stop adding overall. Nobody's perfect but it's definitely keeping my internal Angry Jack at bay.

Complex roots of unity show up in discrete Fourier transforms (DFTs) [1]. DFTs allow you to move between the time domain and frequency domain for a given signal. They’re used all over the place in signal processing and image processing.

From the WP article, under "Folklore and Mythology": "Some Greek astronomers considered them to be a distinct constellation, and they are mentioned by Hesiod's Works and Day..." (emphasis mine) So it would appear that they are both. FWIW, I have no idea if there is some astronomical technical jargon distinction between "constellation" and "cluster" that inspires your comment. But to this layman, your correction comes across as pedantix and unnecessary. The term "constellation" is clearly valid, here, as common everyday English is spoken.
yes true that if we are been frugal then we need proper plan to invest that savings and not just waste it.
Absolutely love Smart Audiobook Player on Android (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=ak.alizandro.s...).
Sublime is a perfectly fine and frankly faster editor than VSCode. The problem is the slow nature of the updates, the underwhelming API and people abandoning it in droves because they opt for VSCode makes the extension library not as comprehensive or feature packed. Half the extensions I use in VSCode don't have a parallel in Sublime

I still use it to quickly edit text or read some files quickly cause it opens really fast but it's definitely never going to be my daily driver unless something changes drastically
I really hate "data scientist" it elevates glorified excel users to the level of physicists
Both groups are internalizing after trauma. They say children that go through abuse and trauma in childhood start to internalize and develop compulsive fantasy worlds as a defense mechanism (or rather we all do it via escapism - avoidance, drug abuse, paranoia, compulsive behavior, all anti-social outgrowths).

It’s really hard for the left to remain mature and fight rationally. They have given up on doing that and taken on the ‘if you can’t beat them, join them’ strategy where they are now using the same right-wing nonsense conspiracy tactics to rile up the base.

The right has fully internalized as a traumatized child into madness. They’re political capital was wasted on a party that used them to goto war, bailout banks, not buff up or protect the working class. They are betrayed, and like an abused child, fully cocooned themselves from rationally considering the circumstances. Even when they actually evolve and reject pro-war platforms (you know , the right wing actually adjusted and fixed this), they are unable to formulate their economic concerns in a non-racist way. They are exhausted and beaten down, and basically need rehab.

They literally need a breather, but the Republican machine won’t give them that and will rile them up against everything Biden/Dems will do for the next four years. It’s viscous stuff, reminds me of a bipolar kid I remember from elementary school where all the kids would just rile him up knowing he’d eventually start throwing chairs uncontrollably. It’s callous as fuck, there’s no love amongst ourselves at all.

There are no healthy adults at the table at the moment.

I have no problem with the touchpad on my XPS, but I find the touchscreen quite useful.

* Have to log kid into Teams classroom in the morning: pick up laptop, tap calendar, tap meeting, tap join, done. Much quicker than dragging a pointer around everywhere.

* Cooking dinner, greasy fingertips, want to skip songs: tap Skip with my knuckle.

* Looking at pictures, maps, reading a website, etc with family or looking through numbers with coworker: quicker and more engaging to zoom in on something with a touchscreen than a touchpad.

* Perusing Netflix at night, I find it nicer to keep my laptop in my lap and swipe though things.

There's no awkward "gorilla arm" thing involved: you pull the laptop in closer for a bit and your elbows stay on the table. When you're done you move back.

I mean, it's not a game changer, not something I use more than a couple times a day, short durations each, but there's lots of times when it's super convenient to have a laptop with a touchscreen. I think Apple really missed the ball on this one, and continues to do so.
It sold well because the competition is still worse. It doesn't mean you should intentionally make it worse just because you can get away with it (there's an argument that making it worse to lower cost thus earning more profit, but I doubt the added complexity of USB-C made the new design any cheaper).
Wow I couldn't find a single comment about the app itself. And a significant portion of the comments are just so negative...

Wanted to point out that "playing dumb" is a really effective technique to get the interviewee to share their knowledge, and in a natural way.

And I have nothing but love for anyone who has the courage to have long-form discussions about technical, philosophical , and other intellectual matters in public.
minimalism is definitely great
Ask HN: Do Developers Use TDD?
TDD is something I hear of a lot, but rarely see anyone actually doing in practice. Do you use it?

I'm a Swift/iOS developer and I don't use it.
Yes, a terrible idea, like putting a motor on a sailboat! I mean, why would you ever need 2 methods of propulsion?! (Some boaters even bring oars and towline! Insane!)
The online skew was brought to life. Most of those pairings aren't a committed relationship. That is, most people roam freely until older (and setup to realize that at most 5-10% of romantic pairings can be minimally mutually satisfying).

The gender skew really made possible the accessing of the top 20% by the last slice of viable women. The top 80% of women have always gone after the top 20% of males. The top 20% (hot) and top 3rd (hot + outright attractive) generally succeeded, leaving the rest of the top 50% (viable) for everyone else. With this skew and overall warping of the mind/perception, now the top 50% often succeed at procuring a male in the top 20%. That is, all viable women are generally gone before getting to the other 80% of males.

As it gets even clearer to women, it'll keep getting worse. Women want to be with AND to be impregnated by the top 20%. If they realize that longer-term relationships are bogus anyway and they start being able to financially support themselves (as the prevailing norm), the "bottom" 80% of males simply won't exist. Most of the action gotten by them came from the 1/6th above the line and below the top 3rd.

Women like commitment, so maybe it'll linger anyway. It's already the case that 80% of white people over 40 have been married at least once. 80% of women over 40 have had at least 1 child. 57% for males over 40.

Get it? During the roaming days, they ideally want the top 20% There doesn't have to be enough to gobble up ALL women, as only the top half are seen as viable by males anyway. Beyond that, the ideal choice for males (ie, top 3rd) are already gobbled up by the top 20%. Further, the rest are had by extending to the top 3rd. The bottom 2/3rds of males never existed. Now it's the bottom 80% and total inaccessibility of women in the top 50%. The last 1/6th deals the most noticeable blow.

Confusion primarily stems from difference in measure used to create the top 20%. Women have a different measure, but males often assume they are primarily about aesthetics.
What a weird story that keeps getting weirder.

I am a data scientist who spent June in Tallahassee helping coordinate state-wide COVID testing with FDEM (Florida Department of Emergency Management) and state health officials.

Everyone I worked with was pretty dedicated to getting the roll out right (including the governor and his appointees too..)

My data & work was spread far and wide with no issue - but just a personal anecdote
From the gofundme:

“ Lawyer's fees, private investigators, an armed security guard for my home since the police published my home address and contact information online, moving expenses so my family can get out of the Governor's reach, and any costs associated with this fight that I may not be anticipating. My family and I will need to move and get set up in a new place.”

Holy hell it’s like she pulled a Snowden or something. All she did was be good at her job and tell the truth. Just another reason for me to never live in Florida.

>I challenge anyone to find the difference between believing in a pedo ring in a pizza store vs the day of judgement and the layers of hell, angels, demons, resurrection, etc.

Pizza stores exists. Some owners/operators of them engage in crimes. Pedophiles exists. Given the number of both it wouldn't be plausible for there not to be a pizza store owner/operator who is also a pedophile.

Pedophile networks for (some of the) rich and powerful exists and they have to source their victims somewhere and abduct them. While it wouldn't have to be a pizza joint that is used for cover (a laundromat or some other small business would work just as well) there isn't a good reason to not use a pizza joint.

There is no evidence at all of hell, angles, demons and there is no way you can have ghosts haunting places where they were abused or treated unfairly and not have any at Auschwitz, yet nobody has ever taken a picture of any there.
The previous allegation against her was something that would make her the hero even if she was guilty. It was a charge of "making good trouble", albeit one that would put her away for a long time under the CFAA.

My understanding of the event chain is that originally there was a common project, and both parties had rights to use the IP from it, but without any rights to further changes after the split.

Perhaps that explains why people are increasingly adopting dangerous secular myths, such as those about vaccines and the Deep State.
That's a popular sentiment to always cuddle new players in a field, but knowing the performance of your algos is part of the job. Performance comes into play in many scenarios. Your users may not "care", but you might be wasting a lot of their time.

Implications of Donald Trump's Twitter Account Suspension – News Break
We are also a really small company and get hit with these requests on a fairly regular basis. Our approach is to negotiate the actual security objectives and provide targeted assurances. Some customers are very strict with their requirements, but others are willing to negotiate.

We have signed on a publicly-traded entity without having a SOC2 on hand. It's not impossible to make a deal happen if the customer really wants your product, and you can somehow prove to interested parties that you wont sink their ship in the process. We achieved this with technical deep-dive sessions which involved our customer's IT and security people. Being able to communicate with agility and think outside the box is a good way to get around red tape.

For us, the biggest thing our customers seem to be worried about is the continuity of our business relative to support of the product. Offering source code escrow through some 3rd party is a good way to help alleviate some of these types of concerns.
So if your private water utility company decides to cut off your water access because they don't agree with your politics, would you say "welp, they're a private company and they can do as they please."?

Cutting communication channels is historically an act of war.
This post is kind of acknowledging the problem but thinking it's ok. Like the story of people adjusting to a broken stair or not using a broken toilet in a house. Yeah, those are solutions and work around but really they are "solutions" and work arounds that you shouldn't have to do. Like the whole idea of use Rails until you become a big success and then rewrite it all is kind of crazy.

Your dichotomy of Rails vs a bunch of complicated stuff aren't the only options. We can have something like Rails minus a bunch of magic in a performant language. Maybe it's a little bit less productive at the beginning, but you're not hating life in 18 months when your team reaches 15 developers or you've got to scale.
What an ego
After reading a bunch of back-and-forth debate on HN about this free speech vs. private speech saga, what still confuses me is the role of corporations in this.

Some responses say “corporations don’t legally have to protect speech” others say “corporations are people so this is 1st amendment”.

What I gather is that corporations are in this nebulous legal chasm of technically-a-person while also not-a-person?

So corporations can be a person at times (ex. political contributions) while not at other times (ex. limited liability)?

I admit my ignorance of not knowing how corporate law works. Maybe someone can explain.

We’re saying the time, space, or some other metric of the solution scales with the size of the input number in a way that is not constant. The number could be any input (arbitrary).
"Information wants to be free" is a physical law, not a moral rallying cry.

In many cases the promiscuous nature of information works heavily against human welfare. One aspect of that is that incorrect information spreads as well -- sometimes better-- than correct information.

I'd like to point out the development process appears to be waterfall. Instead of many cheap iterations, blowing stuff up and continually improving, they want few, complete, expensive articles: that means many tests like OP article is going to need spin as a "failure" and not a learning cycle.

I think the team size grows with open-world multiple storyline type games like Oblivion/Skyrim. I haven't played CP2077 but from the sound of it, it's in that realm. They have a core group that programs the actual mechanics, physics, play - but then separate teams create content missions and bosses (and boss fights). That's where the spend is. And a lot of people can play these games for a really long time because there are a lot of different side missions. ... and eventually DLC.
You mention you don’t have a degree and have never had a “real” job, and by giving us your age and asking for life advice, it seems you feel the clock is ticking. I get the sense you’re looking for more than just business advice.

What is important to you? What is your passion? Do you define yourself by your work, or could work just be a thing you do for money to live? Do you want to learn more about something, or experience something? If so, what?
I use it because I used them throughout the 90s and just find them really nice machines to use for a lot of things. Almost everything's offline first, but it's functional enough to get things done. Some things are more fiddly, but that's to be expected.

Most of what I do is creative, a mix of Art, music, programming, writing. I've done things like covid data analysis, I've written the odd letter on there, some of my newsletter gets written on there. I also use it for things like Usenet, IRC, Telegram etc. There's also a lot of really good games for it. I've heard classic 68k Mac owners have similar experiences. Of course, some say the Amiga is also the fastest classic Mac[1].

>> Staraship: 0.1B dollars worse case scenario (Elon aims at 0.002B$)

Lol. No. That is beyond pipe dream territory. There a innumerable costs associated with spacelaunch that have absolutely nothing to do with reusability. Range closures. Payload integration. Regulatory compliance (ie safety). Telemetry. That USAF person in the back of the room with their finger on the destruct button. That stuff doesn't happen for free. Unless SpaceX is given its own range, its own giant chunk of the atlantic ocean closed to everything but spaceX, massive launches are still going to cost well over 0.1B, 100 million.

And... insurance.
Thanks for the heads up about graphQL—I think I'll avoid for now. It will be for a new project so not a big deal.

This.

Big tech -- and big pharma, and all the other bigs -- are built to be optimized with a system of shareholder value. They weren't built to optimize for civic engagement and thoughtful dialog.

If we want the second -- some of it anyway -- we have to be prepared to give up -- through regulation and governance and then through behavior -- some of the first.
I happen to know the language so don’t need a Chinese person with me. And I can tell you it doesn’t say that, or anything close to that, apparently or not; it’s not a long post so it’s not like I would miss anything. If you disagree, point to the specific sentence and we can have a discussion.

Depends on the finance and growth strategy being employed.

If it's heavily financed in a winner takes all environment where growth is the only metric that matters frugality is not required.

If it's boot strapped (no investment) and/or the product/market fit is not yet established then frugality is required.

I've only ever started businesses that are bootstrapped. It requires a huge amount of patience!
> If there’s a trade off involved then the “best” solution is the one that works for me at the cost of inconveniencing others :)

But Apple aren't just trying to please you - they're trying to please most people. Most people don't use SD cards or USB-A devices anymore. The few who do can still do it using dongles, but the majority get a better laptop without them.
For those that don't get it, CPUs can only have so many USB-c ports wired up, it's all trade offs.

Wiring a charger through different circuitry gives you an extra port.

It's also easier to pump more wattage through and tends to be a bit more durable because thicker connectors can be used.
