Well, the alternative is that they had noticed it, which is worse.
I draw it where you have to buy new devices every year to keep up with whatever they're pushing now. A book is a book and will be a book until it falls apart. Your smart TV however will cease to be fully functional within three years since you bought it. You will have to buy extra electronics to keep up which in turn will also become obsolete soon enough.

It's ridiculous we are expected to buy a new phone every 1-2 years, a TV every 3-5 years, just to be able to consume mediocre media. Meanwhile the e-waste just keeps on piling up. I might just be a grumpy man but I just don't think Avenger movies are worth destroying the environment for.
In 1995 I bought two things that changed everything for me. One of them was a copy of Linux Unleashed with a Slackware CD in it (2.11 or 2.14).

Thanks for a great life, Patrick.
That is such a great book, and tracer bullets are one of its great metaphors. Pulling it off the shelf, I see the section they are introduced in is titled "Code That Glows in the Dark" and lists the following advantages of the approach:

""

- Users get to see something early

- Developers build a structure to work in

- You have an integration platform

- You have something to demonstrate

- You have a better feel for progress

""

These are followed by "Tracer Bullets Don't Always Hit Their Target", and "Tracer Bullets vs. Prototyping", then goes on to discuss prototyping... Published in 2000, there is so much more in there than "use a framework" (though that would be good advice!).

Thanks for reminding me of it. About time for some rereading.
That was my approach too, but org-mode is so difficult to use on mobile platforms - both orgzly and beorg are so unfinished.
QEMU can be daunting at first (like ffmpeg, also by Fabrice Bellard!). But check out this 2018 guide to using QEMU by Drew Devault:

https://drewdevault.com/2018/09/10/Getting-started-with-qemu...

I stopped bothering with libvirt and other frontends for local dev environments. Now I use shell scripts to start my VMs. I only create one per month or two so it isn't that much of a hassle.
A short video of how it works or more screenshots might be a nice addition to the repo.
For anyone interested in this topic, https://dqydj.com/sp-500-historical-return-calculator/ is a good place to start.

As a starting point, accept the defaults and hit "Calculate Historical Returns." The minimum return and standard deviation are most relevant.

(Note that it defaults to adjusting for inflation, but that's really the only metric that makes sense when comparing long periods, particularly those including the 1970s and 1980s, so that's probably what you want.)
The New York Times published the same sort of analysis in 2011: http://archive.nytimes.com/www.nytimes.com/interactive/2011/...

Be sure to carefully read the description of the graph. Every time I link this, someone assumes that the green & red indicates are the yearly returns, but the entire point of this graph is that it is cumulative. If it is red 20-30 years into the line, that means that money put it at the beginning had a negative cumulative return after 20-30 years, not that the 20th or 30th year was negative. Also observe the graph is inflation adjusted.

Yes, it's true. The idea that you can just stick your money in the stock market and see 7% returns every year is somewhere between "mistaken" and "a lie". It is not a coincidence that this idea has arisen during a time of loose monetary policy and a stock market that is being inflated by it over the course of a couple of decades. In the 1970s and 1980s, for instance, this would have been considered risible, and indeed, people did not generally value stock equities. (See the chart for why they may have felt that way.)

It is not an even remotely accurate model of the stock market to think of it as a 7% return that you can casually compound over time. Anyone who speaks of that model or uses that model doesn't know what they are doing. Your debt certainly compounds over time, but your assets can't be modeled as doing that.

A couple of further observations:

Part of the reason why the stock market can offer 7-10% gains in a year, when the economy does not offer such gains in general, is precisely that "room" is made for those gains by the years in which it loses big.

This is also part of why we have a pension fund crises, because even in the relatively friendly stock market of the past couple of decades, even these so-called professionals would blindly use a high-single-digit return estimate per year, and even in the past few years, that has been an inadequate model. The bailout they're going to need if the stock market actually crashes (popping the "Everything Bubble"?) will be literally unaffordable. (Not paying in sufficiently is also a problem, but that is also itself a consequence of absurdly optimistic models being generally accepted.)
Are they supposed to live off of their art? Who says that ever happened in history, or that should it be the norm? Are we supposed to distribute all earnings in the arts by force? How do we measure who gets how much?

You need to realise that most artists never made a living with their art. If they did, they had a rich sponsor who simply liked their art.

If rich people don't do that anymore: Tough luck. Maybe the rich people are at fault, but maybe the artists are crap?

Don't even get me started with the state and 'Somebody ought to do something!'isms.
At the same time, though, they have a uniquely informed perspective on what it’s like to run AI services at scale. Resolving to disregard AI research from Google seems like resolving to disregard transportation research from UPS.
No, inheritance is not an elegant way to mix in shared data and behavior. It can seem like it is in a simple case where there is only one set of data and behavior you want to mix in, but it scales very poorly. Nothing is fundamentally a single kind of thing, and multiple inheritance is a mess. It is more elegant to mix the behavior in through delegation, because it scales to however many things you want to mix in. Carrying on the synthetic example in this thread, you can mix in Speed and Pedals into Bicycle but Speed and Cylinders into Car.
Ask HN: Is there a advanced degree req to transition to managment?
I noticed that many people who transitioned from a regular dev role to a management position normally have some sort of advanced degree, even if its just a masters in CS. Is this something that they look for/ is a requirement in your experience? thanks
While it's true that it's easy to implement inheritance in dynamic languages, it's not quite this easy. The most important feature of inheritance is the function override support / virtual dispatch, so that o1.foo() and o2.foo() can do different things, but o2.foo() can also access o1.foo() (by using something like super.foo() in Java or BaseClass::foo() in C++). Ideally this would also be optimized so that each object doesn't have to carry a function pointer for each member function (this is why virtual function tables are generally used).
Ah yes.

Telling americans to shut up about race already == "reactionary talking point"
I'm not sure what the point is, since this solution doesn't give you an IMAP server to connect to with your email client. Also the solution seems a bit complex with all those CodePipelines and CodeBuilds. I think all you really need is one or two Lambda functions if you're just going to store stuff in S3.
Does YouTube.com/TV work for you?
I bought a Roku TV and in order to use a service like Netflix, YouTube I need to create a Roku account.

Also there is only one button at first I thought it was a directional button where you could move it up and down and press for selection. But pressing it once brings up the menu, pressing it again will move to the next item in the menu, holding it will turn the TV off.

Thank you! I love working on it, and hearing about people enjoying cycling holidays they've planned with the site is the best reward.
Although I do see the waste as some may say it is, I don’t think comparing a models emissions to that of the lifetime emissions of five average cars is fair and ultimately is hyperbolic, but please let me explain. Let’s say the average car lasts 20 years. Actually let’s say it lasts 50 years. Back of the hand math means shows that that’s equivalent to about 50*5=250 U.S. car emissions per year. Yes, that is a large number, but if you look at the value provided to society by things like voice translation, picture recognition, etc., that the set of all Google users enjoy, you have to consider that those models provide value to tens of millions of people, and the cost is equivalent to only 250 of those people driving cars for a year, i.e. the efficiency is pretty great in my opinion.

These news articles are hyperbolic and not addressing the true waste we have in society. Once again I’m not arguing that there isn’t inefficiency and waste, but we’re ignoring the fact that every one of the those Google users (or at least a substantial amount) has a higher carbon footprint in totality that FAR surpasses that of a single model. I do support further research in this area, but we must consider the harm us engineers cause when we write papers that can be manipulated so well by media to create click bait articles that only enable the mindset of “big tech is the actual problem” while individuals shift responsibility of their own carbon emissions onto others.
Also, since it was raised above: this company is based in Berlin :)
Can you shed a bit more light on what kind of thing is discussed?

Is it similar to Blind in that it's a lot of people talking about how to pragmatically game the interview process?
Yes but as that article points out, BT and other ISPs aren't anywhere near their network capacity.

Honestly with how the UI of the menu is designed it reeks of one of the Googlers wanting to "be bold" to get a promotion/side transfer. changes for changes sake and nice padding on their CV.
The stock market is an odd duck.

What to make of it now? There's both colors of swans at work in terms of the plague, excessive money printing, per Peter Turchin (cliodynamics) a peaking cycle in civic unrest, a potential loss of reserve currency status, big changes in tech that still haven't been digested, low cost of transactions. Lotsa opportunities for froth.

I'm still uncomfortable with it as a store of value. Not many people even owned stocks in the past, which makes historical comparisons a little problematic. It took things like the government heavily encouraging parking money there (401k, IRA, tax law changes, corporate tax law) and greater ease of transaction to put us where we are. You could argue that the entire market is a mania.

edit: Just to indulge my logorrhea for a minute, I wonder to what extent we are seeing an organic change in stock markets, a form of evolution really, that takes advantage of human nature. In the last 40 years or so, it was bound to gather up all the accoutrements of video poker. Marketing and blinkenlights, random payoffs, a house percentage getting scraped off, the fiction of player skill. The payoff is greater than 100% due to it riding the back of GDP growth (and the growth of large companies at the expense of the small) but the science of the casino is built deeply in the human psyche. The stock market has to act the way it does simply to remain attractive to all the primates.

On the one hand, I don't want to post a shallow dismissal on your big launch day. On the other hand, this does look like something that's been tried a dozen times before. To name one example, Convox (https://convox.com/) started out using ECS on AWS, but more recently switched to being a multi-cloud platform on top of Kubernetes. Cloud66 has also tried a few things in this space. What sets Porter apart from other products in this apparently crowded field?

I don't know why you're saying what I said is false. What you're describing is the law that makes them obligatory. But that doesn't define the role they play today, which is entirely more subtle than that. They focus on risk reduction for the university, not to ensure ethics. How do I know? Because I've worked with IRBs for years and know exactly what and how they do.

I made it quite clear the eugenics was primarily American.
One note: While unfortunate, and not ideal, probability of hitting anyone is relatively very small (I don’t like alarmist title, but left it as is). That said, I do think we as a planet can and should do better this day of age.
this is not isolated to microsoft, or the US. Everywhere I've worked, the contractors we've had have been treated like second class citizens. The smart ones even insist on it.

Why? Because if they are allowed to enjoy the amenities of a normal staff member (free snacks, invite to company events, etc.) they run the risk of being classed as employees... which is bad news for everybody, not just the company. If you as a contractor are found to be incorrectly classified, that can mean a massive accounting headache, loss of tax benefits, possibly being required to enroll in a union, and lots more.

I've worked in Iceland and the UK, for 5 different companies, each one employing lots of contractors. All of them avoid these benefits for said reason. You can read up on IR35 if you want to know more about the UK rules (although it's been recently revamped making contracting a lot less appealing).

>If you don't like iPhone and Apple so much why not just not use the products? I don't get this desire to change things that other people are quite happy with.

If Apple does not like EU rules for fair competition, warranties and repaiar Apple should not do bussiness there instead of breaking the laws.

People complaining about bad keyboards, bad video cards, bad batteries and even lawsuits forced Apple to not screw the users and recall bad products or offer free repair. If you like being screwed be my guest and do not use those limited"recall/repair" programs that complainers obtained (remember when Apple ass kissers would accuse people they put food int he keyboard because Apple is perfect)

Btw you have the option to buy an US version of iOS device, with the US version of the store, and never would change. you can;t say that FB will ask US people to buy an EU version of the phone so for sure on that US version Apple can continue protecting you.

> I feel like the art world has a very weird “winner take all” mentality.

I agree strongly with this. I'm lucky enough to have a good job in software and I enjoy it enough to keep me happy, but I've also had serious art hobbies in the past.

I spent many years studying photography but never felt like I got to the point where I could impact somebody's life with it. I occasionally took portraits that people liked, but most of my time was spent doing landscapes. Everyone is so oversaturated with photographs and because of the internet it's basically impossible as a hobbyist to make your work stand out.

I started studying music in Dec 2019, which happened to be kind serendipitous because I had something to work on at home in the pandemic (there are only so many ways you can arrange eggs or glasses on your window sill to practice still life photography).

It struck me that with music, the barrier to have an impact on someone is much lower than with photography. With photography the cost of reproduction is essentially so low that people who are interested in it can see hundreds or thousands of photos through instagram in a day, and there's not a strong concept of the "original" piece. With music, the live performance aspect of music is impossible to reproduce, so it's much more valuable to people, and even simple songs with simple melodies can have a strong effect (I made my grandmother cry by singing "Georgian Song" by Bulat Okudzhava over Zoom, I had never made anyone cry through art before).

Kind of off topic but this is something I've been thinking about a lot.
Is this close enough? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Abu_Simbel#Relocation
I understand the theory behind it and the uncertainty of timing is an impossible problem to solve.

My point is that holding S&P 500 generally gives you a positive return but if you buy during good years/months and end up having to sell in bad years/months you actually can have a negative return up to a about 15 years (if you really eff the timing up) or get marginal returns (1-2% per year).

Even over 40 years - you probably wouldn't be supper happy with a 100% return - yes things go positive but your returns are much lower if you time the market poorly (obvious statement).

For example buying in 98/99/00 your returns are much worse then buying before or after. Likewise selling in those years gave much higher returns.

Stating the obvious - but worth thinking about. Sell when the market is rich, buy when its soft (like blackjack).
I don’t know what specifically you mean by “it does” but if you mean “goes as far as Rust,” that’s simply not true. It’s never even been a goal of the project.
I was doing serverless pages back in late 90s when I uploaded PHP scripts to "website providers".
I’m sure someone here can explain this mystery to me:

I have a Roku and an Amazon Prime account. The account is based in the US, but right now I’m living in another country. The stuff that’s “included with Prime”, that I can watch without paying an extra fee, is completely different through the Roku and through a computer. It’s the same IP and the same account: I need to log in to Amazon through the Roku and through the computer. If I pay for a show on the web, I can not watch it on the Roku. I naively think that there should be no difference.
thx, also switched now to nip.io as well.
Slow inflation is the norm. Because if you have whole generations working and aren't experiencing growth things are deeply wrong. Not just "corporate lobbyists or those connected to officals have disproportionate influence" wrong but "masses of people working cannot improve their skills, processes, or products at all".

That is a very hard state to get even as a paranoid police state or literal aristocracy which views a minority of small farmer able to sustain their own plot as an existential threat. It is deeply unnatural in the "low probability" sense like your cat walking back and forth across a keyboard or swatting at it and writing passages of famous authors low.
Is there any screenshots of the QEMU GUI running? I'm thinking of using it, but I am aghast that there's no screenshots page on the website.

Yes I try not to drink coffee for more than 7 days in a row. If I do I know I have a "detox" day ahead of me. Which is basically me not drinking coffee on a Sunday and suffering through a big old headache, sleepiness and possibly a little bit of nausea and dizziness. The coffee ween off is real.
This is the main point that I feel is constantly left out of arguments against trickle down economics. Money needs to be invested or spent to be useful. Stockpiling hordes of cash is not benefiting anyone. Wealthy individuals will invest that money into other companies and endeavors which drives more economic activity. If we tax them and give it to the government would we expect them to do the same?
> I meant that the writing system appeared at first, not as a way to "write down" spoken language, but as a language of its own (hence independent) with no relation to the already present spoken language.

This is incorrect, though an easy mistake to make. Though the symbols for words had no relation to pronunciation in the very first logographic scripts, written language was always connected to spoken language. At the very least, written language always utilised the same grammar as the spoken language: the written form of a spoken sentence was formed by taking each spoken word (or morpheme, if you prefer) and writing down the corresponding symbol(s) in turn.

Also, you seem to think that the rebus principle was a rather late invention. In fact, all known logographic writing systems utilise this principle. (You could even make the case that any writing system which does not use the rebus principle is not a ‘true’ writing system, in the sense that it cannot represent all words.) Even the earliest proto-cuneiform Sumerian texts utilised rebuses to some extent (https://oi.uchicago.edu/sites/oi.uchicago.edu/files/uploads/...):

> Phonetic writings generated via the rebus principle played a remarkably minor role in proto-cuneiform. More certain examples of phonetic writings include: the writing of the name of the moon god, Nanna, which is written URI₃+NA, where NA is the phonetic complement with the value na indicating that the graph URI₃ is to be pronounced nanna; PIRIG+NUNUZ, where the complement NUNUZ, has the value za, indicating that the composite graph has the phonetic value az(a); the aforementioned sign designating a reed, GI₄, pronounced gi, is used to express the homophonous verb gi “to return”; and the syllabic, that is phonetic, spellings of the city names Ša₃-bu and Gir₂-su (Englund 2009, pp. 9–10; Krebernik 2007, p. 43).

This work-around copies the values (in your examples), or the references (if the props are functions or objects), which is just wasted cycles and memory bloat. It's harder for runtimes to optimize, because with that mixin `o1` changes its shape. It's harders for IDEs to infer the type of `o1`, which will hurt navigating and searching through your codebase with confidence.

Implementing OOP in JS with hacks like this is worse, in pretty much all ways, apart from the intellectual kick many devs get of avoiding OOP at all cost, as opposed to just using built-in language features.
