You do need to be able to build from IDE when you set breakpoints to debug.
FLoC does reduce tracking: instead of many third parties building a thorough picture of your activity server-side, your page-level activity stays in the browser. Which already needs to know that, so it can maintain your history and turn links purple. Only the aggregated "cohort" is available to sites.

Take this idea, and apply it to Google Earth. Have it procedurally generate the rest of the data as I zoom in.

Its incredible I can check out my small home town on Google Earth now entirely in 3d (which wasnt the case just a few months ago). Yet the trees/cars are still these blocky low resolution things sticking out of the ground. Imagine Google Earth procedurally generating a high resolution mesh as I zoomed in. Train it with high resolution photogrammetry of other similar locations for the ground truth - and let me zoom in endless in their VR app
At the end of the paper it says that one frame takes 10secs to render. I wonder whether one day this method will be able to render in real time (say 30fps).

This is great! How did you build it?
Very nice to see to genuine interest on HN in solving our Democracy's problems, instead the general cynicism, apathy and self-interest we all too often see. But to be fair, I think it's first important to realize that we are discussing historical forces. The kind of movements that we all read about in school, are happening now. And I think when we look at history we'll see that social forces strong enough to reform empires have always started in the marginalized communities. Our role here is to become active participants, on a day-to-day basis, in these communities and aid them, both technically and morally, in building -- and here is the key concept -- decentralized quasi-autonomous [1] communities. No amount of reform, sorry being a cynic, will "fix" Washington and its relationship with "corporate capitalism". The Supreme Court settled this question, campaign money is "free speech". [2] But we can build new social structures in the gaps. It happened about 2,000 years in empire built in Rome. Why not today?

The Psychology of Computer Programming by Gerald Weinberg. Some dated language (which he calls out himself in the 25th anniversary edition), but overall very good.

A Philosophy of Software Design by John Ousterhout, short book, quick read. I'll be rereading it once I figure out which bookshelf my wife hid it on (she doesn't like my bookstack approach to "organizing" and moved many things to shelves while I wasn't paying attention).
Yeah, this seems like an odd move to me.

For this kinda of applications the static leakage of the newer & smaller node will probably hurt rather than help.
Everyone has different bodies and react differently to drugs. I can assure you that 25mg is a heavy dose especially for those who are not experienced with psychedelics. My whole point is that some of these tests are being administered by scientists who have no experience with the drug, and maybe they should be more careful.

I would use different language to describe a DMT trip, but the imagery wasn't supposed to be the main focus of my comment. Just for an additional reference check out this old study and its take on dosage:

https://erowid.org/references/texts/show/5665docid5442

administered 20-70mg but eventually settled on "30 mg. as a standard, moderate dose". But'moderate' may mean many things. Leary, later in the same paper, says "Psilocybin produces temporary states of spiritual conversion, interpersonal closeness and psychological insight. Forty-five percent of the entire inmate group clearly underwent a mystical, transcendent, death-rebirth experience."
Though black surfaces radiate energy more easily due to higher emissivity, and white radiate less due to low emissivity. So the benefit may be less than you think.
Humans are supposedly born with inalienable rights - life, liberty, the pursuit of happiness. Our societies in the West are built upon this shared foundation of rights. To deprive any adults of the ability to procreate would be considered barbaric, as they want to pursue the creation of "life" with their liberty, and to support their own happiness.

Meanwhile, nature is just raw competition, we're used to talking about genetic evolution in natural populations. Natural creatures aren't deemed to have any right to their own life, liberty, or pursuit of happiness, or at least not by most humans outside environmentalists.

There are people leading those companies, but they're so few and far between that you can probably list them off the top of your head in the tech space. When a successful company like GitHub can't pass up double-digit billions, then, really, what hope is there? Companies like Microsoft have $130B of cash on hand, and (almost) everyone has a price. They can go buy several more of those companies, and that's why we hear a new $20B buyout rumor every week. If you could, you would too. IMO, that's why we need to start capping company size/valuation. There's no social good in Microsoft owning all the things they do. It only benefits the executives at MS and large shareholders, and I think they're benefitting enough already.

> if lots of people lose fiat money on a crypto bubble, there will be less money lost due to inflation for the ordinary folks

Isn't it a zero sum game? Someone's loss is anothers gain?

But generally the point about the loss of control of the monetary system, plus the billions made annually from the printing press will be in my opinion the limiting factor of crypto as a currency, but will stick around as a store of value purely on inertia for the medium term.
I did not mean to make a judgment on substance, rather I made an observation about tone that seems to reflect a disagreeable personality. Would you agree?
Quality supercardioid microphone will reject echo well enough for most rooms and a meter or two distance. That is usually enough distance to not typically require a pop filter, this giving improved clarity.

Hypercardioid "shotgun" works too as long as its back is placed far enough off a wall, however these tend to have sound coloration.

It just so happens that most microphones are the less directional cardioid. Or worse, omnidirectional.
Room to exploit arbitrage does not necessarily imply meaningful market inefficiencies. HFT only works because people with deep pockets can build huge fiber lines directly connected to the stock exchange. It's a model where milliseconds matter in order to trade on differences of fractions of pennies. The market would operate just fine in the absence of HFT operators.
This code, if I'm reading it right, uses the symbol table and ELF section headers.

As explained in OP, the sum of sizes advertised in the symtable and ELF section headers does not add up to the final binary size. The shotizam tool is thus blind to that difference.
Yes, it can be. The reason it's built in to the mic is to protect the mic's output transformer from distorting when recording louder sounds. Most newer/cheaper designs of condenser mic use solid state outputs (unless they're deliberately apeing a classic design) which typically are less easily saturated by loud bass sounds.

I'd guess NPR's view is along the lines that, well, the filter's already there, and we like the way it sounds, so we keep using it.
Sadly, from their FAQ[0]:

Q. Can I paint my car / bike etc...

A. NO - 3.0 is quite fragile and will just scratch off, it won’t weather well.

Q. Can I put a topcoat over it then?

A. NO that will destroy the matte effect, and many topcoats (including our COAT) will react with the paint and ruin the finish.

Picolisp supports IR from llvm12 and llvm13-nightly works too.
MP3s generally have a shelf around 16-18khz. The rest of the audible spectrum data is impossible to retrieve if it doesn't exist. This is why transcoding from a lossy->lossless format is a bad idea.
The cheap Behringer mixer I use for voice chat, karaoke and so on has a selectable 80Hz high-pass filter, I can't remember ever switching it off on the vocal channels, except to parody that Howard Stern-esque huge bottom end with heavy compression radio host thing.

Using a decent microphone (AKG D5 in my case) and a little bit of tweaking (just a low cut and some compression is a good start) instantly puts your sound quality in voice chats so far above everyone else using cheap headsets or their laptops' built-in mics.

Anecdotally I've found that sounding more authoritative makes people listen a lot more to what you say, instead of zoning out.

> How, for example, would breaking up Microsoft into distinct divisions prevent, say, the OS division from enforcing the same anticompetitive requirements on companies licensing the OS?

That kind of breakup wouldn't have solved that anti-competitive problem, but it would have solved others (e.g. the Office Team being able to use undocumented OS APIs to get an edge on competitors).

Though, personally I kinda think a breakup of a tech monopoly should be more extreme, for instance by breaking it up by division and splitting some of those divisions further into competitors (e.g. split the OS division in two, each with their own Windows fork to sell, and all the Windows trademarks go to some independent interoperability consortium).
Yes, the C++ dependencies are unlikely to be available.
Specifically dependencies on OS libraries that are just not available on current common systems.

So you need to get them but they are not available anymore and may depend on code that doesn't compile anymore. Due to e.g. 32bit assumptions, changes in what a 'long long' means and small hiccups like that.

Or the fact that C++ code was "almost" C++ code and not actually C++ code. Just a variant that was supported by an "almost" C++ compiler.

Not really the case for smaller utilities but larger projects originating on what is now rare equipment suffered from this.

So maybe not "miniscule" but not rare in my experience either.
The biggest problem with the whole global workforce thing is timezones. Having worked with some remote, global teams, it is a real PITA to schedule meetings with someone 14 hours out of sync with you. Either they're working late into the evening to do meetings or you're waking up super early to talk with them. Then add the unreliability of telecoms across the globe and it's just a total fiasco. For some teams it works, but if you want a tight knit group it won't work.

Also, people like the social aspect of work. That's why I think everyone is pretty much going back to the office as soon as this is over.
Too early for this.
I've never had to, was my point. Not since waaay back in the day when I was first learning about it (more than 20 years ago). I came to java (commercially) 5 years ago, and it's not that I've dealt with it so much I don't see it, I've never had to deal with it.

Maybe things have got much better in the last handful of years, I don't know. My experience of getting started with a java project in that time has been no worse (and not really any better either) than in other languages.

> Sure you could, but is that how most users use the web?

It’s not clear what the point is here.

> According to Statista (2019 - https://www.statista.com/statistics/955796/global-amazon-e-c...) [same link I put before], over 50% of the market is just Amazon, even though it's soooo easy to chose another one.

Could it be that people choose Amazon because despite its faults it provides the best service?

I dislike Amazon and try to avoid them wherever possible, but in practice I probably use them 50% of the time, because in those instances there isn’t a better alternative.
In general I would be very curious to know more about the bugs, etc in LLVM which would benefit Rust. I'm of the impression that there are many because LLVM is so over-fitted to the C++ ecosystem, but I don't know much about them in particular.
Had Palm's management not had a series of stroke-like horrible decisions, I can imagine a present where the PalmOS 5.0 clusterfuck and just-barely-good-enough Treos gave way to WebOS devices that could have recovered the company, and the iPhone would have had to compete against _that_ potentially much more solid platform.

All these years later, I still wish I could have sat in on those meetings and told Palm management just how badly they were screwing themselves.
I agree mostly. Some good use cases for Java:

- cryptography: It has a wide range support of symmetric/asymmetric algorithms from legacy to modern ones.

- XML and SOAP with Web Service Security in particular.

- Modeling large business concepts because of static typing, Objects inheritance and polymorphism, no memory management while still being performant. I would not use Python for that but other languages can compete C#, Scala, Kotlin, maybe Typescript.
I think part of they problem is that whoever invented this paint is going to want a massive premium for its sale. So it'll get some niche industry use until the patent expires and people start painting their desert roofs with it, or whatever else. Apply to this virtually every technical innovation that is iterative. Fundamental breakthroughs allow for a shakeup of the incumbents, iterative ones don't, due to the archaic IP laws that only serve to stifle innovation. I think a better solution would be arbitrated profit sharing as a percentage of the cost of the product proportional to the value added with no requirement for the consent of the rights owner. Decay the percentage to 0 over the same timespan as current patents.
Bitcoin is bad for this. Monero is much better. I'd use it for payments if I could but very few people accept it.

Unfortunately fiat currencies will always be necessary due to force of law. All governments want to have their own currency for some reason. They make laws forcing businesses to accept their currency and refuse to accept taxes in any other currency.
I recall that we rapidly turned the "write once run everywhere (WORE)" slogan into "WORN- write once, run nowhere" thanks to all the platform-specific changing that always occurred.
You are not unhireable, you're just not patient and you don't understand your situation: You aren't going to get a good job without a college degree. You're going to get the lowest level job and have to work your way up. That may be true even with a degree, but a degree will make getting getting one of those low level jobs a lot easier.

Honestly I don't know how you managed to get a dev job at IBM in the first place, but low pay and little benefits are all you can expect when you're starting out with your level of education and experience. You shouldn't have quit a dev job with IBM, without another job lined up: 3 years experience there would have made getting a better job much easier.

Also not getting a response from a company isn't "ghosted". It's standard practice that many places don't contact applicants to let them know they aren't getting the job. Saying you were ghosted makes it sound like you think it was something personal about you. It wasn't.

Home Depot: The retail sector has been shit this past year. People were getting fired left & right. Your failure to get a job at a retail store like Home Depot is no surprise, and has nothing to do with you.

My advice would be to complete your degree as soon as possible. I'm looking at two identical resumes and the only difference is that one of them completed a college degree, I'm offering the job to the person with the degree.

In the meantime, register with temp agencies to try to get some work that builds your resume & experience. If you can get even a shit level job in dev, take it and stick it out.

I'm not saying that all of the above is fair, but "fair" is irrelevant here: This is how things work, and you have to deal with it on those terms.
I can't think of many sites these days (that aren't personal blogs) that don't have some kind of analytics built into it.

This so hard. I’m fearful when I hear things like Java being under hyped. Do people think this is the pinnacle of what software development is today?

I think it’s made worse by the fact that you can program in another language, in a shitty codebase, and walk away saying “wow that language is very painful”.

When in reality, it could’ve been the codebase and not the language.

I see a lot of “but look at this successful project in language X”. Okay sure it was successful despite the language. Programmers are smart, we can make things work.

Philosophically forcing developers into having to program in an OOP style, as opposed to having it as one of many tools, is a cardinal sin in my eyes. Same for forcing reference types.

I’ll argue garbage collectors are bad too, but tbh that is more of a debatable topic.

>People often talk about favorite TV ads. College kids will put pretty magazine ads on their dorm walls. We all sing radio jingles involuntarily

This must depend on the group or time. I don't recall people's dorms having magazine ads. Aside from the superbowl, any mention of a tv ad is extremely rare. I don't hear anyone sign radio jingles. Similarly, no one likes banner ads.

Most of my friends are mid 30's rock climbers so maybe it's due to groups and ages.

Thanks!

I agree with you, it’s not perfect for readers and until I caved and signed up as a member, I also was annoyed at hitting my monthly limit of articles.

They have amazing SEO so inevitably many articles I need while researching a solution led me to Medium.com

It’s just a very hard market to serve (long form reading / journalism etc). That’s why I’m not that bullish on substack because it’s hard to make it good for readers and profitable for writers / the startup.

Medium paid me $10, and I have about 10,000 reads in the last year. I didn’t do it for the money, but that’s an indication for those who do want to write for a side income - it’s a hard business.

For writing, its very good - to the extent, I use it as one of my main word processors lol. Then just copy it to something else for formatting. Very distraction free and the font is nice to make you want to write more.

It would be great if a new competitor did what Medium did, but made it better for readers. IMO the business model should be like Wordpress but for writers, together with an overall platform with high quality SEO. Make the money selling the software and a bit with memberships on the main site.

I feel for Medium and it’s writers - there’s so little money in it, that to some extent they have to resort to click bait titles, bad UI for readers, and high amount of not amazing quality content.

Perhaps a donation model is best.
Mike Lindell's New 'Free Speech' Social Media Platform Will Ban Porn
In the last year I have made two changes:

* regular consistent exercise. Started small 10 mins of running and 10 push-ups. Slowly increasing volume, but never pushing to the point where I’m sore later.

* started cooking for myself. It was a huge paradigm shift going from eating fast food for lunch and dinner to having meals that I can through together in 20 minutes.

Just from these two things I have seen a world of difference in my mood, mental state as well as my physical abilities.

EDIT: quitting FB cut out a lot of noise and the feeling of missing out. Once that was gone I cared less about what people thought I was doing.

Maybe I'm wrong and there are consumers that harmed by the lack of chrome or Firefox on ios

Well, developers of modern web apps can offer a qualitatively better experience on those other platforms in some ways than they can with iOS Safari. The offline working features are one clear example. The use of open (=> cheaper and sometimes better-performing) standards for things like audio and video content is another.

Unless you contend that the only reason any web developer ever uses the features available in other browsers but not iOS Safari is to abuse or exploit users, in other words that no-one is (or would, if Apple supported them) make any legitimate use of those features that would improve the user's experience in some way, it is clear that users are materially disadvantaged by the limitations of iOS Safari, unless they have the choice to use another browser that does offer those features instead.
