Let me blow your mind

My fellow developer did not know that you can long press on mac bottom bar like for years. He observed it when i did it. I think i even noticed it after many days. That's the problem with hidden gestures. Android the same issue when you hide the bottom bar. I just keep it on, swiping is anyway difficult when palms are sweaty.
What point are you trying to make? None of those artificial constraints apply in the real world.

It's really not that bad. I had some complaints about WGSL a few months ago but it was surprising how quickly it improved. Here are some simple real-world shaders you can look at:

https://github.com/bschwind/simple-game/tree/9de179085a04dd4...

If you combine it with a quick build step to give you shader compilation errors before your program runs, it becomes a pretty nice shading language. There are still a few rough edges but it's not _that_ bad to work with.

Kanban is most often used for tracking inventory, so you can technically use it to track your tasks with it. It kinda gives you a big picture view. And one of the reasons why Kanban is effective in the inventory process is because it provides you a visual signal to replenish you inventory.

As a process for tracking work, it is lacking for a number of reasons. There is too much information on the board at any one time. It is too open, meaning, you can create as many columns as you need, which leads to unnecessary complexity.

Finally, the Kanban system works well for moving physical items (completed items) from one station to next. It is not used for changing states of items. We use it to change state on incomplete tasks (i.e from Blocked to Todo to Inprogress), which not what Kanban is for.
It’s a pretty silly argument. Maps, android, gmail, translate, docs, mapreduce, kubernetes, tensorflow come to mind off the top of my head. Honestly it’s a stupid contention. Apple’s awesome but the list of “great” things they’ve done is what, a third as long despite existing decades longer?
> Looking into Elixir, but from what i've heard, Elixir isn't very memory efficient when it comes to web servers.

It really depends on your reference point and what your web servers are doing. The Elixir website has a series of cases and perhaps you can find an example closer to what you are doing: https://elixir-lang.org/cases.html - there are also cases where companies reduced the number of nodes in production once they migrated to Elixir.

Regarding deployments, Heroku, Gigalixir, Fly.io, Droplets, K8s, etc are all viable options.
Show HN: Cloud & On-premise IT infrastructure design tool
Hi HN!

My partners and I created a SaaS tool for IT infrastructure design that helps configure multi-vendor specs, draw diagrams and create proposals in a single interface.
The idea is to help IT engineers and consultants automate routine configuration tasks and quickly create vendor-agnostic estimates that meet the company’s tech requirements and budget.

The current version supports multi-vendor (Cisco, Juniper, Huawei) network infrastructure configuration & design, and we’re working on adding storage, servers, and cloud providers.

Features:
Multi-vendor configurator
Smart diagram drawing tool (spec & topology are automatically synched)
Project estimates & discounts management

The final goal is to help users configure, compare, and visualize on-premise, cloud, and hybrid solutions based on their business requirements (e.g., “I want a VDI for 100 users, sort by price/vendor/provider”)

Would love to hear your feedback about the product, any features you find specifically useful/useless, and the whole concept of what we’re trying to build.

Sincerely,

Tanya

>it creates an incentive for them to lobby keeping drugs illegal.

Does it? As far as I can tell it expands it but does not create it. This is an important distinction because that incentive exists even with 100% public prisons. Even with public prisons, workers are prisons, any organizations that represent those workers, and any private organizations which supply the needs of prisons all have an incentive to expand prisons.

>There are so many horror stories, like prisons saying that they'll close if they don't get some more prisoners.

And if a public prison has to close, it will still be an issue for those who work there and those who supply it with goods. Even if they were guaranteed another job, which isn't likely common to begin with, would it be comparable in pay, duties, and commute time?

In every country with prisons this incentive exists, so I think it would be worthwhile to looking at how other countries handle it.

Sure. First thank you for the honest question. I was poor growing up. Many things on this list resonate with me, but I'll add a few others.

Ways you can help with this:

* Understand that your coworkers may not have the same experiences as you. If someone tells a joke ("Summering in the Cayman islands" [referencing tax evasion or similar]), perhaps pull them aside later, one on one, and explain why the particular thing was funny.

* Talk about the last book you read. Why was it interesting to you? Poor people and rich people read very different books. Offering insight into whatever issues you read through books might help them have easier conversations with others. For example I'm currently reading "An American sickness" which discusses the rising cost of health care in America. A poor person would focus on why *their* individual healthcare is so expensive, but a rich person looks at the whole system. And that is what this book more or less discusses.

It's not unlike learning a foreign language. Even if you memorize the words and phrases, there's all sorts of ways they are used that can make it difficult to use as a communication tool. Try to identify those odd words or phrases and explain those to others. However this can apply to any company / culture, its not necessarily a rich / poor thing.
I will defintely give it a try. Just a question. When I am the teacher sharing a terminal, how am I protected from a student typing "rm -rf /" ?
Exactly, I think life is probably a von Neumann probe. What is the easiest way to spread yourself through the galaxy? Throw bacteria and parcels of your genetics out into the void. Easy and low cost. What about radiation you say? I'm sure there are ways to engineer a survival rate > 0.

It also follows:
If it is possible that one civilisation spreads itself in this manner, it is likely that we are decedents of that civilisation. Simply because there will be many more copies of the original civilisation with a penchant for spraying their seed around than other kinds of civilisation.

I was about to make a comment that this felt like something from 10 years ago, but it turns out it actually was!
I'd say the difference is that Americans are obsessed with money, and they think you need to flaunt it just because you have it. The idea of having a rusty old beater car, let alone bike to work, if you're rich just baffles them.

Status and class here is much more subtle, you often can't tell from the way a person dresses (at least at first glance) and what he drives if he's a billionaire or secretary.
That makes sense. Regarding your final sentence - I guess I felt that for me it’s been the other way round. I feel that in most HN discussions I had silently been empathetic and not demanded any level of empathy from anyone, and clearly that was not going to work in this instance.

Lol. I read that comment as "I like that the verses are missing." But now that you point it out, it's tough to say.

The reason I left out the verse numbers is that I use the iPhone text-to-speech tool on the way to work to have the robot-lady read it to me without using too much data (company phone). And it's annoying to hear numbers every other sentence.
Involuntary poors are a huge threat to our society. They lack morals, discipline and intelligence because if they didn't they would have pulled themselves up their own bootstraps already. They are never more than one step from petty crime, and never more than two from snapping and going berserk on the people around them.

When some inpoo walk by me with their smelly ragged clothes or poo on some SF street (seriously, it's so common it's basically a trope???) I instinctively watch my back and clutch my pearl necklace firmly because I know they are just waiting for an opportunity to steal it (I managed to get a good deal, when it was on sale for at $18999 at Tiffany's, and it looks so sparkly and amazing. I always get a lot of compliments for it!).

But anyway the point I'm trying to make is that the inpoos are a menace and a threat to our dear city, and they should be driven out by ensuring high quality environmentally friendly housing that they can't afford, by taking down their tents and upgrading benches to those new ones you can't sleep on. And the police need to keep them under constant surveillance. It's not enough but it's a start at least.
The article is about how poverty isn't just a financial situation but a shrinking of your world view.

The author isn't complaining about that situation. She finds herself being surprised by it, and then noticing her own surprise begins contemplating what it might mean.

I guess it means that poor people are continually treated as if they are thieves or guilty of something, and after being treated that way for so long, you internalize that judgement and treat yourself that way. Then when you notice a situation where you're not being treated that way, you might be surprised, and feel a mixture of emotions about the fact that you have been seeing yourself as guilty and untrustworthy for so long, and for no reason other than that you're poor.

Reading your other comments you seem quite defensive about the fact that she doesn't have any real reason for saying rich people are so bad. But nowhere in the article does she actually say rich people are bad. She's saying why being poor sucks, what it feels like to go from being poor to being a bit better off, what that other world looks like from the outside or, more broadly, how your economic circumstances shape your view of the world and your expectations and interactions in it.

I don't know why you would insist on reading it as some sort of attack.

It's one of those articles you either relate to or don't and if you don't, you're going to pick up on the flaws. Not everyone that fails to relate will complain about those flaws, but any article designed to evoke emotions - as this one is - will inevitably stir up irritation in some, and those so stirred will complain about them.

Written differently, but with the same message, it would carry more people with it, but then maybe those that related would relate less well, so maybe that would be a net loss.
I don't know if is something about "small town" gyms. But in the gym I used to go when I was younger, the owner of the gym was also a global personal trainer, he will follow every person that joins the gym ( for free ), he will tell you what exercise do today and will follow you if the exercise is new or he notices you don't know how to do it properly, he will also help you with diet and everything in between. The other members of the gym were also very friendly and supportive, congratulating with you for every little advancement like "you look slimmer compared to a week ago"

When I moved to London I was never able to found a gym with that environment.
> I've heard stories that at Google, the non-engineering workers at campus may not socialize with engineers at all.

Googler for many years here. I've never heard of this kind of thing. One of the most prolific and loved content creators on the internal meme board is in sales. The closest thing I've ever heard like this in the entire valley is that at Apple they don't pay for the lunch bill of non-engineers, so having premium lunch options can feel exclusive to engineers.

One of the most widely praised decisions Google made during the pandemic was to continue to pay their vendor staff who maintain the buildings even though there was no work to be done. And they kept that promise (as far as I can tell) for the entire process even though the initial expectation was that WFH would last for a few months.

My personal experience at Google has been that people do chat with vendor staff like custodial workers and kitchen staff.
The idea that "A few hundred all together" isn't that special is precisely what the post is about!

Spot on. Every time I wear "fancy" clothes I'm constantly worrying that everyone is pointing at me thinking "we know who you really are, you're poor and don't deserve to be acting this way". This is despite me moving away from my poor town years ago and establishing a solid job for myself. Nobody in my new town knows me at all yet I assume they know I came from a "less than" background. A poor person must undo decades of the effects poverty inflicts to truly appear "rich" where a rich person must simply "lower their standards" to act working class.
Solving conflict resolution should be doable - it's just that it's literally the most critical and important bit of the entire Matrix ecosystem, and any changes have to be done very deliberately and carefully, ideally with formal proofs that it's not going to break stuff. It's the equivalent of switching out Git's merge algorithm (https://github.com/git/git/blob/master/Documentation/technic...) or switching out for a new kernel scheduler implementation. Any bugs or thinkos there mean that the whole fabric falls apart, hence wanting to consider it separately to Spaces.

> Then in the 21st century, with the thought experiment solved, the real experiments began. “The most important development is we can now realize Maxwell’s demon in laboratories,” said Sagawa.

> In 2007 scientists used a light-powered gate to demonstrate the idea of Maxwell’s demon in action; in 2010, another team devised a way to use the energy produced by the demon’s information to coax a bead uphill; and in 2016 scientists applied the idea of Maxwell’s demon to two compartments containing not gas, but light.

About the first experiment: https://www.nature.com/news/2010/101114/full/news.2010.606.h...

> The experiment does not actually violate the second law of thermodynamics, because in the system as a whole, energy must be consumed by the equipment — and the experimenters — to monitor the bead and switch the voltage as needed. But it does show that information can be used as a medium to transfer energy, says Sano. The bead is driven as a mini-rotor, with a information-to-energy conversion efficiency of 28%.

About the second experiment: https://www.quantumlah.org/about/highlight/2016-02-maxwells-...

> The team also worked out a theoretical description of the setup – accounting not only for the thermodynamic effects on the light, but also for the information gained by the demon – and found a good match with the data. It has long been known that the resolution of the apparent violation of the second law by Maxwell's demon (for it is only apparent) lies with the demon itself. The demon not only does work on the system, but also acquires information about the system that it would take work to erase. When all these factors are budgeted for, there's no net gain.

So they didn't make a Maxwell' Demon. They are just very inefficient motor with a overhyped story around it.

That includes Androids running version 4.1 and higher with Google Play services, iPhones running IOS 14.3 or later and Apple Watch GPS running 7.2 or later.

Something must be wrong about this statement. Android 4.1 came out in 2012 and almost every active iOS device runs the latest version. So where are these 50% of ancient phones coming from.

>Here in germany we don't turn prisoners into slaves.

Do you tell them where they must live and how they must behave? If they disobey and go about their daily lives ignoring what you tell them (meaning they don't even show up for prison) do you use force to make them comply? Even if you don't profit off of them, that is still a form of slavery. And to be pedantic, the people who are forcing them to obey are making a profit because they receive a paycheck for their actions, one they would lose if they didn't force the prisoners to behave. The state may lose money, but the actual people running the prison are profiting off enslaving prisoners.

> actively supported a preventive nuclear strike against Russia.

Well, even Bertrand Russell, who protested against war from WWI to the Vietnam War, advocated a preemptive nuclear strike against the USSR in 1954. The risk of nuclear war killing everyone, once the USSR had nukes, just seemed too great, I guess.
What is the point of the "nobody thought I would steal their stuff" comment then? It only makes sense if you assume poor people are thieves. In this case it was correct, but I don't think it's true in general.
Could be like that:

// equality with is already

1 == 1.0 //true
1 === 1.0 //false

// assigning

x = 1

// pattern matching

x ^ 1

// pattern matching and assigning

x =^ 1 or x ^= 1

And they should remove the rebinding that is useless. But I find it very difficult for that to happen at that time.
