I'm kinda limited in my options, because this MBP only has two USB ports. So I have one port which goes to a USB hub, and the other port goes to an Apple A/V adapter with USB-C power delivery pass-thru, HDMI, and a USB port. If not for my need to have one USB port be switchable, and the rest not, I'd use a USB-C -> DP cable like I use on my 16" MBP.

This may prompt me to upgrade prematurely, if/when the next M1 MBP comes out with more than two ports.
> Your claim that there’s strong consensus isn’t true.

Are there any chronobiology or sleep societies that are advocating either (a) leaving the twice-yearly time jump as it is or (b) switching to year-round DST?

> Scientists around the world support this initiative to adopt Standard Time, and statements have been issued by the U.S.-based Society for Research on Biological Rhythms, the European Biological Rhythms Society, and the European Sleep Research Society. As Canadian biological rhythm researchers supporting evidence-based policy, we strongly recommend a switch to permanent Standard Time.

The main regions that do DST are US, Canada, and EU (30-50˚ latitude):

And all of the societies that cover these areas say (AFAICT) go to year-round Standard Time.
Anyway to do this for cheaper ?

At that throughput the CPU is speculating and exploiting the access pattern.

It's also worth saying that if Apple were dead set on throughput in this area they could've implemented some non-trivial fusion to improve performance. I don't have an M1 so I can't find out for you (and Apple are steadfast on not documenting anything about the microarchitecture...)
Apple hasn't been vertically integrated in any kind of manufacturing since the 90s. It's all built in China.
Why would they make their own M and A processors? They could continue to buy Intel chips and revert back to using PortalPlayer and Samsung chips. Chip designing is capital intensive and takes years to get up and running, when Intel and Samsung know how to do it.
Consider adding zsh and Perl to your toolbelt. Many scripting languages are just as powerful as Perl, but I don't know of anything that has equivalent capability for quick work on the CLI. Check out how the `-pi -E` switches work, for an example: https://perldoc.perl.org/perlrun#-i%5Bextension%5D

Also, jq is amazing and is basically sed for json data.
It's inappropriate of you to scold another commenter with a content-less comment.
Thom makes a really insightful point: "people who want a true Linux computer in their pocket". I wanted a more open iPhone and I hated the N900 because it was terrible as a smartphone. Between the stylus, unconstrained multitasking, desktop Firefox, and Flash it's like they were trying to prove Steve Jobs right. The G2 was so much better because it had an actual phone OS.
What actually seems to happen is people, with all the extra free time, and lack of conflict...

Whether true or not, that argument pertains to wealth, not equality. Everyone could be poor, with very little free time and lots of ordinary daily struggles to occupy them. Your argument seems more like a caution about the idle rich.

Of course most biases is something we learn. Some of them can certainly be harmful if we are out of our ordinary environment, like in your example. Or if bias is based on a false assumption. Evolution simply roots out those individuals who are unable to build proper biases :)
I wonder if it's actually an indication of how unknown it is. Korean media is usually very precise with showing brands - if you can see a logo it's almost definitely product placement. Using a relatively unknown app allows them to avoid showing something recognizable.

This is just an idea though, I have no real basis for the claim. I have noticed the same thing, though.

> white privilege doesn't care about your actual ancestry

Only because there haven’t been any large groups of white immigrants to the US in recent history. If there were, you could expect to see the same sort of intolerance you can see in Europe, where some people really do care a lot about your ancestry, even if you’re just as white as them.
It seems a little faster, but not dramatically so for me, when I'm hot switching between different inputs on the monitor. Definitely I think some of it is just the monitor not being really fast about switching, but I use the same monitor with a brand new 16 inch MBP and it's much faster at triggering the monitor to wake up.

Remember that everything Leo Tolstoy did (since his younger unlimited money, all whores and drinks, things,) is basically a headless chicken approach to different theologies and etc. He probably caought the syphilis etc in his golden days, and whatever, his golden years were really at the whorehouses. I mean a homeless schitzophrenic could basically write tolstoy works, if they could, I mean, so, the Tolstoy bullshit is really overblown. He was mainly and basically a cat-house client, and all of those things, drinking, etc, the latter things are just a product of his syphilly and so on. Tolstoy was a whore customer, and, whatever he did later is pretty irrelevant. He has no clear non-syphillic grasp on what he feels about religion, nor anything else. Stop lauding up LOLsToy. He was a whore-customer and little else, comrades.

Yeah, I would like to use DP, for sure. A peculiarity of my situation and the devices I need to connect means I can't make that work with just two ports on the laptop. So I use the Apple USB-C PD/HDMI/USB adapter so I can get the ports I need and still charge.

I use it as a store of value.

Because I expect that it will continue to significantly appreciate (it has gone up 10X or more in the last year!), I couldn't care less about its volatility. I expect that as its exponential rise slows down (like all exponential growth, it must come to an end, perhaps after a few more halving cycles), the volatility will decrease accordingly.

You're right that there are other systems to store value, but it doesn't follow that Bitcoin doesn't have value as one. It does for me, today. I've used it (together with some other systems to store value) in a very real sense to store portions of my salary and, months later, consume it, acquiring tangible assets. I couldn't care less about having to convert it to Euros first, that doesn't make it any less useful to me.

I've used Audacity from time to time over the past 15 years or so. I've had so many bad experiences with it that I try to use alternatives whenever reasonable. I've used it on Macintosh, Windows, and Linux on different hardware configurations. It's the only piece of software that has ever physically hurt me, to my knowledge (on some platforms it adjusts system volume without warning).

It's been buggy as hell and I've had some profoundly negative experiences using it.

Yep. This is why I've been enjoying Obsidian too. I've been able to organize how I want, and it works just fine... and it keeps working, without not-so-subtly forcing me into a new structure that I don't want, just to work with it more smoothly. (e.g. Notable)

A repost of an article discussed on HN at the time[0], but I believe to be relevant to the latest discussions on the crypto boom and, especially, NFTs.

I find it very interesting that the HN discussion at the time had one comment mention, "I don't really see how 'it doesn't serve any socially useful function' yields the statement 'it should be outlawed.'" This argument is true in and of itself, but now with the huge environmental concerns and vehicle for scams and theft built upon crypto, I don't think its an argument to be made here any longer.

What a perfect honest great read! Kudos to the author for articulating so accurately what PC is really about: virtue signalling by privileged white people.
I think the counter-point to this (Which you kind of bring up, "what to watch out for") is that success is often more about not losing than winning. So reading about other people's failures can be very helpful in ensuring you don't lose.

The other thing is that although a failure may be unique overall, there are undoubtedly common aspects among failures. So I feel like you can sift through a lot of failures relatively quickly once you find some of the common patterns.

For example, one of the most common failures of startups is no market for the product. Therefore, if you're researching a failed company and it seems like this is the case you can assume there will be little value in this failure and skip ahead.

Another possible technique following this line of thinking is to apply filters. If they failed before they reached x point, you can skip ahead.

TeX should always give you warnings like "Overfull \hbox (0.43386pt too wide) in paragraph at lines 42--45" and the text of theaffected line when it "disrespects your margins", so I don't see why you have to check for them visually?

Ask HN: What is a good resource for learning GR for an applied learner?
I have been interested in learning the math of General Relativity for a long time. I have made a couple of attempts by reading books (Peter Collier's "A Most Incomprehensible Thing" for example) but it didn't pan out. I find that learn things best if I can apply them somehow and I find it difficult to keep my attention by just reading the books or watching lectures - even if I am taking notes.

Is there any resource for learning general relativity and related concepts/math that also includes a programming/numerical (Jupyter notebook?) component to it that I can follow along? Some examples of such resources for other areas would be: "Raytracing in a weekend" or this one on Kalman filters: https://github.com/rlabbe/Kalman-and-Bayesian-Filters-in-Python

I have a background in aerospace engineering & I write software at my day-job (Rust/Python/C++ etc.). I am very familiar with optimal control theory and variational calculus. I want to learn GR to a level of proficiency that I can simulate relativistic stuff in software (gravitational waves from pairs of orbiting black holes or trajectory of a relativistic spacecraft for example). Does such a resource exist?
> History would seem to contradict you---periods of high wealth inequality do in fact seem to be historically correlated with division and strife

No, this study is dominated by wars between states as well as death rates due to crime, which is primarily a function of the efficiency of the healthcare system to provide emergency services. It is basically a rehash of the observations of Stephen Pinker that death rates have been falling over time, and thus is a measure of technological progress. One can argue that as the arrow of time moves forward, technological progress has been increasing overall and inequality has been decreasing -- historically most people had a subsistence level of income and the middle class is a relatively modern innovation -- so it's easy to make a correlation between the two which is not particularly meaningful as a proxy for social stability or as a causative argument.
EGA isn't better. The point is, at least in the articles at hand even if not in the Hacker News discussions, that the artists who redrew things for VGA didn't do that very well, and made lighting mistakes or overused gradient fills. The articles at hand make the point that this was in turn in part because they hadn't really learned how to draw for VGA yet. But some of the errors are just basic drawing errors and nothing to do with the medium. If the sunset is behind the tree, then the front of the tree is in shadow, for example, not filled in because EGA-to-VGA means rôte filling in every black void just because it is there.
> Documentation is hard.

It is! But (if you’ll pardon my aside) increasingly my career/nerd goal is to promote documentation as an implementation source of truth. Documentation is hard because it’s seen as an additional task. But it’s possible to design interfaces where documentation is the API, or at least a first class part of it which determines API boundary behavior. It’s hard to do that upfront, but it’s great if you have the right primitives for it.
Businesses also have common failure modes. I used startups as an example of learning from failure in another comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=26498875.

of course, public tech companies (e.g. FAANG, Twilio, etc) will also pay that.
