I consider myself extremely lucky that I grew up middle class and now earn a pretty nice buck (for European standards). However, halfway there, there was a period where my wife and me had to turn around every penny. Strict budgeting, shopping at ALDI only, no takeout, etc. "I hope the kid doesn't get a growth spurt" definitely resonates.

We were nowhere near as poor as some people, and it was only for a few years, and it was self-inflicted to some extent because I was starting a startup while my wife was getting reeducated. So I don't know what it's like to be really poor. Those stories on HN from people who, 20 years past lifting themselves out of poverty, still hold on to every old sock, that's not me.

But at the same time, having been somewhat poor: damn it rocks to be rich! We became rich overnight a few years ago when my wife got a job, and every time I buy a sandwich without worrying about the cost, I get excited mentally. There's always this "Omg can we afford th- oh haha we're rich! Of course we can, woohoo!" process going on in my mind and it's super awesome. I feel so decadent, so lavish! I'm buying a sandwich!

To me, that's the definition of "rich". Buying a sandwich that someone else made, anytime I want.

If you're rich enough to be able to buy whatever at the supermarket, or get your favorite sandwich for lunch without worrying about the cost, cherish that. I don't really believe anything from here to private jets is going to make me much happier in practice, but I never want to be below that bar again.
While I understand that there are food deserts in the US, I can't understand why someone poor would feed themselves with cheap ramen, mac and cheese and fast food.

Isn't buying vegetables, cheap meat cuts, flour and other basic staples much cheaper and healthier?

To put things in context: I'm European and been homeless, the core of my artistic research and career is precisely about food for the homeless.

Mac os hasn't just worked for developers for a long time.

They missed the entire container revolution with docker. I still come across Devs using Mac's that are afraid of docker because it's too confusing and black box. (It's Linux in there right?)

At work we have a rather overengineered method of proxying to our production services for security reasons. Mac users are currently constantly having to deal with abstraction layers on top of abstraction layers to make things barely reliable. I just use a systemd unit file and haven't looked at it in years.

Homebrew tool, while great for more obscure things, it should really only be a fallback, not the default. It's basically a confusing and black box version of the AUR.

BSD/apple ways of doing things are just annoying. It's fine for the average user. But for Devs that want to do things in the same way they do them on their server it's just another hoop to jump through.

The sad thing is that moving every Dev in the company over to Linux would probably be worthwhile long term, but I really don't think they have the willpower to relearn things even if they are that much better.
It’s disingenuous to blame all problems our countries had before 89 on socialism, while ignoring the constant blockade and attack from the Western European countries and the US.

We could use public funding to do the work OP tried to do.

Something like a well funded ten year campaign to do peer review, retrying experiments and publishing papers on why results are wrong.

I have a co-worker who had a job than involved publishing research papers. Based on his horror stories it seems like the most effective course of action is to attack the credibility of those who fudges results.
If you want to delete the highlighted text, then why not press backspace or delete? Those already have the explicit action you're looking for.

>> Now, we want highlighting something and pasting to contextually mean "insert markup specific to some markup language, after parsing what's on the clipboard and deciding that it looks like another part of that markup language."

Not really sure what you're trying to say. You don't think they do this already? WYSIWYG-editors on the web almost all have normalization and sanitization built in when you paste something, and depending on where you paste the content will get merged with existing rich text blocks.
Political beliefs are not a protected class federally but some states and DC may offer protections. I think a majority of states do not, however.

Agreed, reality is more nuanced than what exists in media/social media.

Good point that checking for overflow of a multiplication beforehand is hard. But I don't think checking after the fact would be much easier. So thus a C modification to remove the undefined behavior probably wouldn't be very useful still.

The USSR already demonstrated what happens when you try to run a process dependent upon price signals with their dead end economic theory attempts to calculate a global fair price.

You get what you measure for applies here. Now if we had some Objective Useful Research Quality Score t could replace the price signals. But then we wouldn't have the problem in the first place, just promote based on OURQS.

Compression ratio/speed

Program or model size: bytes rato: bpb speed: KB/s
xz -9 24 865 244 1.99 1020
LSTM (small) 20 500 039 1.64 41.7
Transformer 18 126 936 1.45 1.79 (!)
LSTM (large2) 16 791 077 1.34 2.38

Note the decompression is not faster than compression (unlike xz)
"Simple" isn't always easy either.

To me, simplicity means that there's clarity of purpose for each component and how it interfaces with other components. A large system can still be simple if the interactions and interfaces between the different components are reasonably well understood and justifiable. I think thoughtful UI design is how you prevent complexity. The UI for developers and software is the API.

When you start adding features and instead of generalizing you simply (heh) add a special case to allow two unrelated components to communicate, and then another, and another, until the two components become dependent on each other such that neither can do anything without the other; then you have a complex system, and the "UI" for the developer is worse because it's full of seemingly random elements in random places that only do one very specific thing.
This hasn’t really happened on Android or desktop open platforms. There are alternative app stores, but certainly not one for each app, and it would be a self-inflicted distribution wound for an app to go exclusive to a smaller app store.

Having a uniform way to handle payments is a great feature, but it would happen naturally if payment terms were competitive with industry norms instead of extractive prices that require a lock on distribution.
This is a good point. But I do also think that a perspective of despair is part and parcel of depression. It may depend of the kind of depression though.

From my own experience with depression, it's the lack of joy rather than the sadness that is hard to suffer through. It's helplessness rather than sadness, a loss of feeling rather than feeling too much. But depression shrinks any perspective on tomorrow and just leaves you powerless in the here and now, though not in a good way. It's more like having to give up because everything is too heavy, a felt sense of not being able to affect your world. Sadness itself due to bad events is usually not a problem, it's part of life even if we attempt to eradicate it. The problem begins when you get stuck in the sadness, and then everything shrinks away in a dark void where you don't feel sadness nor joy, just a heavy, tired numbness.

Sometimes a depressed person's initial stage out of a depression is the one where he or she is most at risk of committing suicide. Because you need to feel some sense of control and overcome your fears in order to do it.
Or they develop the critical thinking skills to realize that science is 95% failing and 5% "we don't reject the alternative". It is not absolute, and certainly the scientists themselves are deeply flawed being that they're human.

But here's the thing, people don't have time for this. They have work, bills, home and car maintenance, groceries, kids, friends, a slew of media to consume, recreation on top of it - and they're all dying. So it doesn't matter who says what, they're going to pick the dilute politicized version of the results that their team supports and run with it regardless of what the nigh-unreadable highly specialized papers say. Orwell said it well "I believe that this instinct to perpetuate useless work is, at bottom, simply fear of the mob. The mob (the thought runs) are such low animals that they would be dangerous if they had leisure; it is safer to keep them too busy to think."

And those who do elect the burden of extracurricular mental activity aren't given much in the way of options in any case. What are they to do, disseminate the material to their friends, co-workers, children - quite probably the very same population as mentioned above, weighted with the ceaseless demands of reality? To what end? Chinese whispers? It's better to have them say, "I don't know, I'm not convinced either way." A construal which is developed from adequately exercised critical skills. But that's another discussion about perverse social conditioning no doubt evolved from the deployment of poorly understood technique compounded by its acceptance as custom in education - I'm speaking of course about grading and student assessment. Nobody wants to be stupid at the very least, and professing one's ignorance is construed as an admission of guilt.
Politics of any kind should definitely be banned from work. Activist types that want to shove their ideology into other people's throat can definitely do that during their free time where other people can at least avoid their presence. There are always plenty of like-minded woke friends to be found from Twitter or r/socialism.

We're not talking about convicting them though, we're talking about whether they can continue being a part of the workplace without making others feel threatened.

If you're black, and you know that one of your managers is a member of the KKK, there's absolutely zero chance you'll feel that they are treating you fairly. There's also nearly zero chance they will treat you fairly.

The fact of the matter is that work life does not exist in a vacuum. People don't come to work and pretend that things outside of work don't exist. They are also not obligated to treat their coworkers as simple cogs in a machine. This is why things people do outside of work can reflect upon their work relationships. Expecting the opposite is just naive.

For real

I know shipping speeds are important, but it seems game developers could try harder with delta compressing their updates, because it's hard to believe a tens-of-GBs download is the best they could do when you already have a BluRay disk or something (unless it's new content, of course)

I wonder how much their bandwidth costs are and how quickly a reduction would pay itself.
recent trend to start interpreting selection of text + pasting of a link as "turn this text into a link using the URL in the clipboard". It just makes complete sense

I had to reread this 5 or 6 times to get the meaning, not joking. Please no, or at least use custom plugins for that and leave our generic text input alone.
Well, only if you have enough money to own a kitchen and enough time to cook a meal between jobs.
I'd much rather do this (which isn't all that difficult in the end?) then chasing performance issues in the web stack, which are a lot harder to chase down and fix, because the browser is a massive layer of the rendering process you can't easily tweak. (I've seen that in customer projects where I'm sure that if they had done it natively, the issues would have been easy tweaks to their engine, but instead they spent weeks on trying to understand how to get the browser to do the right thing)
Wow, it is this blatant these days. This is just crazy.
It takes 30 mins eh, the time it takes to go buy that crap

Yes it was in my case. I didn’t realize that fact until I started working at 13 and was seeing the prices all the time though.
It takes much longer to cook from scratch than use processed food. If you're on the bread line it's better to spend that time working overtime.

It also takes a long time to learn to cook effectively, and you need a decent kitchen, utensils, storage, spices, scales etc. which all cost money.

There's also the mindshare element, if you need to do a thousand things to survive, adding cooking from scratch to the list is really hard.
Man LA sure sounds like a shithole. Here in the Netherlands in the big cities most stores allow self checkout
True.

Aside from the compression efficiency, I'd like to see other metrics too, like the work it takes to compute the compression (in units of energy, time, or whatever), to get more of a sense on what kind of workloads using something like that would make sense. These super-efficient compressors often only make sense in long term archival and compress-once-transmit-often scenarios.

It appears http://www.mattmahoney.net/dc/text.html (that Bellard links to on the NNCP page) has some information:

- NNCP (w/GPU) used 161812 nanoseconds/byte to compress, 158982 nanoseconds/byte to decompress, on an Intel Xeon E3-1230 v6, 3.5 GHz, RTX 3090 GPU, using about 6GB of RAM, to compress enwik9 down to 110,034,293 bytes

- CMIX used 602867 nanoseconds/byte to compress, 601569 nanoseconds/byte to decompress, on an Intel Core i7-7700K, 32 GB DDR4 using about 25GB of RAM, to compress enwik9 down to 115,714,367 bytes

- gzip -9 used 101 nanoseconds/byte to compress, 17 nanoseconds/byte to decompress, on an... Athlon-64 3500+ in 32-bit mode running XP, to compress enwik9 down to 322,591,995 bytes

- 7zip 9.20 used 1031 nanoseconds/byte to compress, 42 nanoseconds/byte to decompress, on a Gateway M-7301U laptop with 2.0 GHz dual core Pentium T3200 (1MB L2 cache), 3 GB RAM, Vista SP1, 32 bit, to compress enwik9 down to 227,905,645 bytes

These benchmarks are not directly comparable, as vastly different machines were used, but it still gives a trend at the very least.

As expected, these super-efficient algorithms are slow, really slow. Honestly, I'd think at least today too slow to make sense even for long term archival, and far too slow for compress-once-transmit-often scenarios, as the decompression rate is almost as slow as the compression rate.

Still, it's impressive work, don't get me wrong.
Yes? as I understand it the general correlation between income inequality and crime is fairly well known, and the debate is on why it occurs and what can be done despite it. That said crime rates themselves are often more to do with reporting than with prevalence... IE if crime happens regularly people don't bother reporting it.

Okay, here's international correlations between income inequality and property crime .https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/download?doi=10.1.1.86...

The best thing I could find for the time ranges you discussed suggests you are wrong about San Francisco, at least in terms of the last ~50 years and violent crime rates, which dropped 43% from 1975 to 2015. https://www.themarshallproject.org/2016/08/18/crime-in-conte...

The nationwide crime rate also went down during the same period, so I'm not sure that is really fair to your argument.

That said, more broadly here's evidence of a correlation between crime rate and income inequality, including property crime, using US cities that isn't time based. https://www.zippia.com/advice/crime-income-inequality/

Here's one showing that income inequality by neighborhood correlates to property crime rate. https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/004209801664391...

Here's a study about people on probation in San Francisco that shows that housing insecurity drive recidivism, and that that's particularly strong correlation for low level offenses like property crimes https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Leah-Jacobs-3/publicati...

Anyway, This paper suggests that increasing wages among low income workers decreases crime

If I work somewhere, I am the tool that the founder uses to have wrought forth their vision. I accept that and do what must be done.

Therefore, at the same time, if I create a company, it is mine to do with as I please, to command forth to fulfill my vision.

I don't really understand the purpose of bringing "the whole person" if it doesn't matter to the work being done. It can not only be useless but actively harmful, as people get into tribalistic bouts without doing work.

Yes, the cultural revolution was bad. Revolutions tend to be massive over corrections which arise because there's no peaceful way of resolving a situation and they know that in the event of a counter revolution they will all be executed. This is why Fabianism is a good idea.

Apple employees objectively claimed to feel that the statements were sexist.

I don’t think we can objectively distinguish someone’s claimed feelings from, say, their getting caught up in the fervor of a movement and attempting to persecute an ideological opponent, or persecuting someone chosen rather arbitrarily.

There was a time a few years back where Google's speech recognition was virtually flawless (at least for my voice) but nowadays it verges on useless. I've had similar experiences with Google Maps (specifically navigation) and Google Translate. My understanding is that the implementation of these products is now mostly ML driven whereas in previous iterations ML was just one aspect of it. Curious to know how much truth there is to that or if I'm just viewing things with rose tinted glasses.

This just doesn’t work in practice. If you speak up about anyone at work posting hateful content about men or white people, you will be ignored and are likely to receive disciplinary action yourself.

Even worse so, if you complain about misandrist words like “mansplaining” or “techbros” being used AT work, nothing will happen. This is purely one sided and makes workplaces extremely toxic.
