"Walking out" of a job implies leaving the employer without warning in the middle of a workday, something many people in the US pride themselves on not doing (despite largely having the legal right to do so).

It's related to strong senses of personal responsibility and pride in reliability and dependability, in my experience.
Back in 2016, Depop's founder, Simon Beckerman, was on an episode of BBC's The Bottom Line podcast about "The Youth Market" [1]. He explained his motivation behind starting Depop (app-driven alternative to eBay with a social element) and I thought it was quite insightful.

> they are useful in practice

Useful, yes, but ad-hoc.

> What do you mean by ad-hoc?

I mean that in Emacs you have one ready to use action for everything you might want to do. One shortcut covers exactly one use case; if you want more use cases covered, install plugins or write scripts. M-q is an example, it formats the current paragraph. What if I want to format something other that a paragraph? In Emacs, you will need a new shortcut and a new keybinding for that.

In Vim-like editors you have some small atomic terms that you can combine to build the actions. You can have a small number of atomic terms, which can be combined in a multitude of ways and therefore cover a multitude of use cases. In Vim the gqap is not a single take it or leave it action, it's a sentence with verb gq and noun ap. If you want the verb to act on something different, you replace the ap part with something else.

Think of keybindings as a language you speak to your editor. In Vim the language has a number of words that you can combine to build sentences. In Emacs you have only a given number of ready to use sentences, and you have to memorize each one. This is a big distinction if we're talking about a text editor for efficiency, because it defines the ratio “time spent customizing” / “time saved editing”.

> Could you point me to some example?

You can cut and paste columns in Markdown tables using Kakoune's multiple selections. Like this:

- <a-i>p -- select the paragraph

- <a-s><a-;>; -- this creates a cursor at the beginning of each line

- <a-f>| -- move cursor to the next pipe symbol (selecting everything as it moves)

- <a-.> -- repeat the last move command (do this to select the column you want)

- d -- delete the selected (by each of the selection)

- <a-f>| (or <a-b>|) -- again to move cursors where you want to paste things

- p -- paste the deleted column

In this example, I haven't used a single command that I don't normally use while editing, say, Rust or Haskell. And you can manipulate Org, Latex tables with similar commands. In Emacs, you'd need a separate plugin for each of these, wouldn't you?

Kakoune.org has more videos where they show what it can do (without plugins).
Hey everyone! Creator here. Happy to share this little project with you all. We've been compiling a lot of content and can't-miss stories drawn from sites across the web related to NBA Top Shot and sports NFTs.

There’s a lot of great content and analysis that have popped up all over and we thought the community could benefit from an organized channel where we can share the best of the best. We had started through a weekly curated newsletter and have now expanded to a full site- updated on the daily. The site was created with no code on Webflow, Feedly and Zapier.

FYI: if you ever run across a great story, or write your own and want to see it featured, just submit it here: avc@mintedwire.com.
Is there a short video demo ?

EDIT: Sorry, I was lazy, just saw walk through tutorial, nice game, but it would be nice to have 1 min trailer.
They offer commercial support services/contracts for Apache Kafka.

They sell proprietary Apache Kafka add-ons for enterprise such as authentication/authorisation RBAC. The open source Kafka release supports auth/authz but not consistently between the suite of tools. They also have a monitoring UI etc.

They release the commercial add-ons under the Confluent platform distribution.

They heavily push ksqldb which is a sql layer on top of Kafka that competes with https://lenses.io/. Confluent market it as a DB but that’s pushing the creative marketing.

They provide a hosted Kafka service.

The hosted service is likely more attractive to SMEs. It also has competition with the SME market with AWS providing managed Kafka. Confluents service does have extras on top of AWS like tiered storage behind a non open source license but nothing is stopping any one building there own tiered storage. I can see people using Confluent’s cloud but don’t see it being big.

Large corporations will (have) generally hosted/run their own Kafka.

I like Kafka but can’t see how Confluent can be profitable.

Cloudera is an example, they couldn’t make the service business work, I feel Confluent will have the same issues.

Elastic search have issues with AWS eating some of the market. Confluent have the exact same issues.

The Kafka is your nerve center narrative, that is great from Confluents perspective financially but it’s no different than the old enterprise service bus as the nerve center for everything. There’s a reason we don’t see that anymore.
Yup, 10-20 years ago things were a bit crazy because you could get savings accounts with 5, 6% interest. Nowadays you get nothing for putting money in savings, so people look for other locations to put their money. It's boosting the stock market and the housing market both, as does low mortgage rates (1% now, 10 years fixed) and in my country at least, a massive housing shortage.
The recent update to `docker-compose`, now called `docker compose`, has contexts that let you us the up command to deploy to services like Azure Container Instances or Elastic Container Services.

I haven't (successfully) used ACI to deploy my compose app. I'm hoping somebody else on this thread might have.
Controversially, ignoring ethical aspects, you could eliminate most violent crime by killing off the poorest people in each country. You could prevent child abuse by killing children. You could encourage any kind of behavior you want by randomly killing people who disobey your demands. Wouldn't life be great if you were an authoritarian dictator with no morals.
Compared to modern digital electronics, the human brain is "very wide but very slow". The equivalent clockspeed is just tens of hertz, maybe a few hundred for some areas. High fidelity simulations of the signal waveforms might require only a few thousand samples per second! Contrast that to a typical modern computer, which has clocks a million times faster than that.

Similarly, simulating a brain may not need high precision at all, and is likely amenable to various forms of compression. For example: a simulator could have a library of the behaviour of a million synapses, and simply interpolate between them to closely match each synapse in a brain scan. Hilariously, for extra efficiency, this kind of interpolation in a high dimensional space is something artificial neural networks are quite good at!

I envision a path where ordinary "machine learning" is used to automatically model small sections of the brain, such a ganglia, axons, synapses, etc... Similarly, ML techniques can be used to match scans to the previously learned library of these models. The final thing might just be a hundred 8-bit "parameters" per synapse, and there's 125 trillion of those, so about 12.5 petabytes. That's a lot of data, but you can buy a server right now with 12 TB of memory! Assuming a 30% increase in capacity yearly (thanks Mr Moore), the goal is just 26 years away.

Make an entry in your calendar: 2047 is the year we'll have human-equivalent AI...
Fantastic, work. Well written, and seems like you managed to annoy some people that needed annoying in making a good point.
Okay, I will try that. I actually have a commercial countertop grinder from a junk sale. I'll grind fresh and I'm seeing other people say use filters?

I've had cowboy coffee like you described, boiling-brewing-pouring, it was tasty. I'm a bit lazier than you are, I think.

Edit: thanks for sharing, btw. I love being able to hear from someone so knowledgeable.
Basically doing the same as in Accelerando

> Prior to August 2018, there were no trillion dollar companies, now there are at least 5 (MSFT, AMZN, AAPL, Aramco, Google)

This observation seems more likely to be driven by Aramco not being a public company before 2018 than by Aramco not existing before 2018.

Just because it's a little harder to see something doesn't mean it isn't there.
Interesting! I guess it depends on the specific speakers/monitors. It's not something I would have considered before. I'll have to check out those JBL's.
I'm not dismissing the utility of tags, and I like your idea. I'd definitely install it as an application and give it a go.

I'm really addressing the argument that tags are a revolutionary change that should replace the directory-based filesystem entirely. The cost seems too high to justify the benefit.
That's the entire point. With the right one piece of data, you can draw powerful and useful inferences. You don't need data on the 100m dash running speed of every single human being on Earth. That one item can be sufficient. It all depends on what the data is and what you're trying to infer. How is that incorrect?
Let's hope so. We really need one. I think if we don't have one soon, it may be time to close that profession and start over...

The trick now is telling the difference between reasonable optimising and desperate last hopes.
You Have a Week to Opt-Out of Amazon Sidewalk, Do It Now
When doing calls to secure a mortgage, I definitely got a lot of "... And when your house appreciates in value...". On principle, I didn't want that getting to my head. Especially as I really do rather hope prices fall sharply for Canada's sake, my equity be damned.

That being said, if things were down I definitely wouldn't be looking to sell
> Also, sometimes things are just really shitty and there's nothing that can realistically fix them and escapism actually is a reasonable choice.

I don’t buy this. Even when you can’t fix things (and I’ve been there) you can still process through your emotions and accept and make sense of your new normal. You don’t have to do it all at once, but that’s the only path to recovery—drugs and alcohol won’t get you there.

How to increase your luck dynamic – insights from a serial entrepreneur
“When I look back on, why did that business work versus that one fail, many times, I have to answer that there was some amount of luck – something happened.

“You ran into somebody, just happened upon something that led you to whatever the next big thing is, and it happens more than a lot of CEOs would want to admit. It doesn't, I guess, polish your image if you say, ‘well, I was just really lucky.’
That's only because the public keeps re-electing them and their parties regardless of what they do. It's the voters who are not holding politicians accountable.
I sort of get what you're hinting at, but I still think it might be inaccurate; to me your reasoning come over like 'played live there's detail X and Y, when listening those details might be vague or don't come out properly, so that might be lossy compression at work' (please correct me if I'm wrong). Thing is: just poor microphone placement or poor recording equipent or poor mastering can have those effects as well, no?
Ask HN: How to reduce the impact of my cycling on musculoskeletal issues?
I work as a courier for a gig work company which involves a lot of cycling (on the ebikes they provide) which is starting to give me problems like carpal tunnel & intense stiffness/muscle tension/loss of mobility around the shoulder.

I'm on a low budget (let's say $50 to start although I could maybe go higher), what's the best way to reduce this, bearing in mind there's a limit to what I'm allowed to do to the bikes. Supervisor says bringing in my own saddle is fine so I'd be v grateful for recommendations on that front, as well as anything I can do to reduce the vibrations going up through my hands.

If it's of any relevance, the bikes in question are old ebikes w/ a front suspension fork (not that it seems to do anything) & straight or in some cases v-shaped handlebars. Airless tires too, which I'm guessing aren't helping.. Thanks in advance comrades

Show HN: Render Jupyter notebooks as interactive articles
Hey everyone, our team just built a tool to make your Github notebooks interactive and we would love for you to try it out. Just enter the GitHub URL of your (or any) public notebook and hit Render to instantly view the notebook. Your notebook will be rendered in an article-like layout and will get a table of contents. Anyone can fork it using the "Launch" button and play around with your code. The Deepnote viewer is also faster and more reliable than other .ipynb viewers we've tried. Would love for you to take it for a spin & hear your feedback!
Am I reading this correctly — it's an alias for arr[i] and str[i]? I know languages like Ruby have arr.at(i), but why?
Yeah, I think people forget what is it that makes cryptocurrencies popular. It's not about all the ideals about decentralization, innovation, working around dictatorships and Big Banks, etc. Few people understand any of this, and even less people care.

Cryptocurrencies are popular first and foremost because they streamlined the ability to run financial scams, which otherwise are much more difficult to pull off. Secondly, because they make it easier to gamble. Thirdly, because they make it easier to exchange illegal goods and services.
The computer is still going to work, no problem. Floppies on the other hand are bit riskier bet.
Croydon is extremely diverse. Parts of it are worse. Parts of it I'd much prefer over Hyde Park any day (e.g. parts of Shirley and Purley, which have areas with huge villas set off private roads). Of course it depends on priorities too - if e.g. shopping at Oxford streets or being near Soho or living in a dense city centre is what you want, Croydon can't compete with that. That got old really fast when I lived in the centre, though - even in my mid 20's when I lived there I very quickly preferred more space and actually having money left over.
I'd vote Democrat over Republican every day of the week but it's denialism to pretend this doesn't enable this sociopathic approach to governance. You're appealing to tribalism because it fits your values. I wholeheartedly disagree that this is a healthy way to approach politics.
How Many People Lived in the Angkor Empire?
Has there been significant inflation outside of housing/stocks/bonds?
It has, but in a different w.r.t comparing different sound systems with the same recording. Let me try to explain. You might know some of the following, sorry if it's a re-explanation.

In a proper concert hall, sound is expected to be homogenous, so you should be able listen to the orchestra equally well, with the same sound balance (or mix) regardless of the place you sit. Similarly, recordings are done from suspended or positioned (and ideally tuned) mics, so you can capture the orchestra as someone sitting in the audience. At least this is how our performances were recorded.

The mastering is then done to match the recorded sound to the hall's sound, and balance any imperfections or clean the orchestra's inner talk between pieces (yes, we communicate a lot :D ).

When you listen an orchestra live, you will have a lossless blueprint of the piece in your mind (track by track if you can separate the instruments). If you can get a recording of the same performance, you can compare it with the live performance. That's absolutely correct.

But if you listen to a recording of a different orchestra playing the same piece, the arrangement and instrumentation will be same (you may have 8 violins instead of 12 but, violins won't be changed by violas most of the time). So, the atmosphere of the piece will be the same. Assuming the recording is done by competent folks, the spectrum would be the same (~20Hz -> ~20Khz roughly).

After some point, even if you're listening to a different orchestra, you can start to point to the things that should be there. It's very hard to describe, but every instrument has a base sound and details on top of it (you can tell they're all trumpets, but different brands or models. Similarly you can tell they're double basses but they're different in some ways). That base sound starts to erode too when you have a lossy compression, and in turn it affects the sound of the piece, regardless of the finer details (which are mostly affected by resins, bows, styles, etc.).

It's a "these two instruments shouldn't interact like this in this piece. Something is missing!" kind of feeling. This missing part is either something at the high or low end, almost an harmonic. It's not noticeable unless you're looking for it, but it's there.

That difference can be clearly heard by re-encoding a FLAC as a high bitrate MP3 and taking their differences. It's a hiss-like sound by contains a lot of the said harmonics and you can almost listen to the piece just by listening to it. Someone did that and published the differences, but it was some years ago. I'm not sure I can replicate or find the article. That article took differences of the exact same recording but, it can be applied by your brain to different recordings after some time.

Hope I've succeeded to clarify it somewhat. It's something very hard to describe by words. Please ask more questions if you want to. :) I'd be happy to try more.
> They charged about $25/hour

This may look like it's more than comparable freelancers but still very low for quality dev work. For those rates, you get what you pay for unfortunately.
Seems like a good idea. I don't have the time for it.
Those are good points. How good is something that I don't know - and I don't think you do either.

It is better to have a new sub $1000 car, or the very used car with a lot more luxury features (you know at purchase time if they work). That isn't a clear cut choice. Also we don't know how long those cheap new cars will last - it could be a lot more expensive than buying the used car with a good supply chain of parts and a proven history of being maintainable (remember that in these countries people are more likely to be willing to do the work), the new EV could well be a lot more expensive in the long run depending if it isn't well built.
A lot of old things had custom hardware.
I'm surprised anyone would write this off. It's a trendy eBay for a specific niche (used/"vintage" clothes). If you can get it to scale (obviously not easy) it seems like it's an easy win and easy to monetise. On the surface a much better investment opportunity than a lot of the stuff we see on HN.

> They were more in the area of subjective preferences

But this is exactly the point behind the criticism. The script is presented as “run this to make Windows better/safer”. If you did that without evaluating and understanding these subjective preferences, you might end up in a worse state than you started in, because maybe some of those preferences don’t really match your needs.
Website looked like it had some cool stuff. Hard to find good streetwear.
Soullessness is a big thing for me. I live in the US, and to see new homes being built directly next to major roads and highways, I can't image why people would put up with the noise and smog. Most suburban homes here are made mostly of plastic, with cookie cutter designs.
If you Google around you’ll see a crap ton of companies trying to do this.

IMO the only “serious” threat to Jenkins are platform integrated services like Gitlab CI/CD, GitHub Actions, Google CloudBuild etc. Everybody else seems to continue to use Jenkins.
Title aside, this is an article about the theft of a famous painting and the opening contains an image of said painting.

Are many workplaces really so strict or people so embarrassed about nudity that being caught reading an article with an image of tastefully painted nudity is an issue?

I'm looking for a position as product manager. My industries of expertise are Education, Retail and Financial. I can communicate very well in English, Spanish and Portuguese. I've been working remotely managing international teams since 2006, so I naturally adapted to the new normal working scenario defined by COVID.

My website has a lot more about my professional profile and projects I've been working on. All content is in Portuguese. https://rodolphoarruda.pro.br
People are - there's a heatmap in the article of where house prices are increasing the most. Increases are highest in poorer, generally rural areas (central-North England, Wales, South-west England) and the least in the most expensive areas (London, South-east England, Oxford/Cambridge).
A quick read suggests that it adds negative indexing from the end of the array.
Got it - sounds interesting. Thanks for the detailed reply!

I also found that the best system is having the first layer of folder organization be "which period of my time is this from?".

Conceptually, it's easier to think of "music from high school" than about the specific mix of subgenres from my playlist back then. Same for documents that I saved. Those ICQ logs from high school are there. They don't belong in the same folder as the stuff I wrote yesterday, even though they could be of a similar nature.
The whole QUIC thing showed that new protocols must play nice with the many layers of packet analysis. I suspect that a real-world informed approach will differ quite a lot from an ideal design - and a company "way ahead" has more reason than inertia to be copied
Accessing negative indexes currently returns undefined. This adds support for indexing from the end of an array with negative numbers.
It's a function object then.
