My 21-yo daughter was previously completely healthy and fit, and she has now experienced a year of long covid. Already skinny, she lost 16 pounds because food didn't register as food (messed up smell and taste) and she couldn't choke it down. She had a couple of weeks where she could tolerate almost no foods but almonds and miso soup. So much fatigue last summer that she couldn't even sit up for very long. New and persistent depression, sensitivity to noise. Please don't try to minimize this illness by blaming it on people's existing health conditions.
Aug. 5, 2019: "Deadly Germ Research Is Shut Down at Army Lab Over Safety Concerns" - NYTimes [1]

And what's wrong with that? But seems like a 4 day work week is a no brainer. Basically no loss of work productivity and a lot more free time. It's more than an extra 8 hours, you'd get more energy for the whole rest of that day and be able to do much more with that day. It would bump your free time that day from like 3 hours to 11 hours - that's pretty huge.
Fair enough. It feels a bit like the bits of MacOS I care about are nowhere near this sort of stuff, but then I was also baffled by the Facebook UI riots :-)
Whats's your plan for the head gaskets?
Anthropomorphism is probably just a result of human capacity for theory of mind. That is the ability to understand mental states in ourselves and others. We can look at the world from the animal hunting us, or the animal we are hunting. That is ridiculously useful, but may misfire sometimes. We think things are exhibiting human properties when we really shouldn't.
What if the surrogate will taste better than the real thing? Will you still insist on eating meat coming from an actual animal?
It was our family doctor who recommended it to my parents. I don't think any of them knew how destructive that advice was about to become. And that destruction was very swift.
I pirate things that have oppressive DRM that makes people who purchase the software have to jump through unnecessary hoops. I've had 3,000 dollar software not work when I needed it because some license server was down somewhere.
In the remote work era, I would propose 4 hour work days 6 days a week. More focused days and more time each day. it works when your travel overhead is removed.
The rabbit hole goes deep in this. Form factor isn’t limiting adoption. Bad performance and the fact you need a team of physicists to calibrate the machine daily are two simple examples limiting adoption more than size. I’m not saying miniaturization isn’t useful, I’m saying it’s last on the list to care about.
Software piracy is not a socially significant issue, it's not even divisive. It's illegal, but nobody cares about it, so you can't imagine getting any kind of white knight award if you fight against it. Well I'm sure there are people who care about the welfare of Hollywood or Redmond executives, but they tend to be Hollywood or Redmond executives.
Annoying camera work aside, it certainly shows how incredibly cheap everything seems in terms of manufacture. I think they mention styrofoam for the outside trim at one point.
I don't regret switching to programming, either, as it has been a happy and fulfilling career. But working on an airplane gearbox was also satisfying, a bucket list item for me. If I hadn't have done it, I'd always wonder if I would have been good enough to do that kind of work.

Working on that system has had significant impact on the D programming language and my ideas about programming. Who'd have thought that would happen?
Yeah the good thing about using such a low level tool is that everything remains typed until you reach the query statement. Postgres and typescript enums work great together.

For one of my projects I check in the generated types and replace 'unknown' (from jsonb) with the specific object manually. That way the concept of any or unknown gets pushed mostly out of the codebase (for simple crud. When joining we use normal SQL queries with some helper tools that verify the fields we are picking exist). Hopefully will manage to figure out how to do with with postgres comments at somepoint.
RYF is probably Respects Your Freedom <https://ryf.fsf.org/main-page>, for others wondering.

A story of Baseball’s original rubbing mud, a hatred for new shoes, and why victory is seldom achieved unblemished.
I have to agree. Nothing stood out as being any way similar. It's hard to tell what their measure of similarity is here. This might be a case of let's just throw the data in, and see what comes out.
At some point, they stop growing, and will be expected to pay a dividend. Apple and Microsoft pay dividends. Failure to pay a dividend is seen only in companies where the founders have a stock scheme which keeps them from being out-voted.
Thanks, that's good feedback. The program I get the most notifications from is Teams, and you can't do the nice swipe it away to the right you can with all the other MacOS notifications, so I'm used to pain there already!
> "The article makes it sound like as if this is a recent phenomenon. I don't believe that's true. I believe that stock prices, or prices of anything, be it tulips or paintings, have always been driven by narratives. "

That might have an element of truth, but recent generations have had opportunities for "financial nihilism" well in excess of anything imaginable by earlier generations, in line with the availability of information, speed of communication, and access to services. Just looking back two or three generations, you got your stock prices in the daily newspaper, you didn't have computers to draw out all your fancy technical analysis charts (although if you were patient you could make charts with pencil and paper), almost no one had access to a stockbroker, and of course there wasn't an internet where you could read about meme stocks or the latest cryptocurrency scheme.
Won't comment on your first point because i think its pretty well documented by now, specially for the HN crowd. But if you really want to to go down into this rabbit hole..

> iPad is a consumer device. They don’t make it for “developers.” You aren’t their target audience.

Sure, but the consumer is, a consumer who would want the best experience and the best applications on his device.

Crippling and curbing the developer forcing the hand where he cannot use certain technologies or certain paths only to suit Apple monopolistic, control freak neurosis, will in the end damage the users, as he would not have access to goodies he would like and want to.

This is basically the reason why Apple is getting away with it. The user doesn't even know he is being damage in certain ways so Apple can resort its control, because the application that should reach him, apps he would want if the option was given to him, never will reach him.

Because even if the developer miraculously circumvented an obstacle (that is not there for the final users sake) and published its app, the control over app store publishing would take care of censoring the application through the evaluation process.

Just a sample of where the final user is being damaged, the fact that he cannot really run other browsers that are basically UI shims over Safari, because Apple is afraid of web based applications multi-platform applications to work on your device.
”It wasn't useless for Warren Buffett...”

Buffet doesn’t use DCF:

Charlie Munger said at the 1996 Berkshire Hathaway Annual Meeting: "Warren talks about these discounted cash flows. I've never seen him do one." "It's true," replied Buffett. "If (the value of a company) doesn't just scream out at you, it's too close."

Buffet says “The question is, how many birds are in the bush? What is the discount rate? How confident are you that you'll get [the bird]? Et cetera. That's what we do. If you need to use a computer or calculator to figure it out, you shouldn't [buy the investment]. Those types of [situations] fall into the "too-hard" bucket. It should be obvious. It should shout at you, without all the spreadsheets. We see something better.”

Pretty much. The next controversial thing with really suspicious surroundings will still be rebuffed in exactly the same way. "trust the experts".
RRHH = HR (in America)?
It's kind of a spillover effect where your customers need to meet compliance requirements from other customers such as US presence (not limited to US government btw - mostly around data handling requirements by Infosec teams). Thus as a service providers you are subject to these restrictions as well.

Another example, I know cases where you cannot run your service on AWS because the customers have a blanket ban on AWS - for competitive reasons.
Next headline would be:

One possible idea is that if they organize their civilization in any way then they may simply not have authorization to reveal themselves. The occasional pilot noticing them would be accidents.

As far as it being bad news — it’s never comforting to learn a different civilization has vastly superior technology, and may not share your values.
When you first heard about 50+ QCs, like, a couple years ago? That timespan is more or less like yesterday in cutting edge research, especially in such capital intensive research like QC. QC in unambiguously progressing, but it still hasn’t achieved its grander goals.
Do you mean working less than 40 hours per week is counterproductive?
> Suddenly they were told they would need to pay tax on their pensions and oh btw. you should really have started paying into private pension like a decade or so ago.

That's not true. The taxation of pensions in Germany is a gradual shift accompanied by a parallel shift to tax-free payments into the pension funds.

The Pine Time device looks way cooler than the OP. In my opinion. The OP just looks like a circuit board strapped to your wrist.
I had a Geo Metro, which was more motorcycle than car. It was a very dangerous to drive anywhere except on small, city streets (where it excelled). It was finally was too expensive to justify repairing, so I bought a bike - telling myself I'd never buy a car again, unless I could afford something of worth. Well, that was 17 years ago. Turns out where the Geo Metro excelled, a bicycle was even better.
I'm not sure whether you're looking for just an idea for a project or an actual walkthrough. But either way this index of "Build your own X" writeups should be useful: https://github.com/danistefanovic/build-your-own-x

Ideas include building a Git, shell, search engine, and of course compiler/programming language.
>Remember that the vast majority of capitalism is little businesses like your local veterinarian or florist, not FAANG.

That is the vast minority. Corporations dictate much of the business in the states and the world. It's really easy to see this without resorting to statistics.

What is the ratio of your friends who work for corporations vs. the amount that own/work for small businesses? The anecdotal percentage here is a good indicator of the real percentage of economic output produced by corporations vs. small businesses.

You will find that as how most of your friends direct their own economic output in service of corporations so does most of America.
If Apple allows arbitrary OSes to be installed I would want a hardware indicator that that has happened. Perhaps a tiny LED on the back that is permanently on as long as the phone hasn’t been tampered with. I wouldn’t want to buy a secondhand phone to find that it’s a fake malware OS.
Oh man, these “I don’t dream of labor” types are so fucking cringe, lol.

Also condescending!

A close friend of mine beat cancer as a child. Ever since then he’s dreamed of working in oncology, and is finishing school just this year. He’s very excited, and I’m happy to see his career goals coming to fruition.

Other examples abound.

I find, in my social circle anyway, the type who ask, “who dreams of careers?” are usually the type to have had cushy upbringings that afford them the ability to ignore dreaming of finding stable, well-paying careers. Let alone the mission-style careers I described earlier. Must be nice.

In any case, I’ve worked on teams in both Amazon and AWS. Have not experienced the described culture. However, I’ve only ever worked in science roles/orgs, and I hear the difference between science and software (particularly product) can be quite stark.

As others have mentioned: most variation is based on your manager and skip-level manager.
It won't. I tasted meat for thirty years, me and my stomach could instantly recognize when I ate veggie burger.
I have submitted this as I find such manipulation by big players like YouTube fairly interesting. As a non US person I care less about the actual content being manipulated. Hopefully this won't devolve into an R vs D thing and more a general discussion about such practices. Cheers
Because of movie piracy, Hollywood is currently a deserted wasteland. And because of video game piracy, nobody makes any of those any more. Also I heard Google is not giving Microsoft any money for their operating systems.

Wait, only the last one is true. It's almost as if intellectual schmoperty violations is not a real problem.

Although the Mac OS X “Blue Box” was ugly for a time, the virtualization approach worked and it also created a clear incentive for app developers to get their software updated to run better outside of that constraint.

If this “backwards compatibility” is important, fine: provide that compatibility on an older OS running in a layer. Free up the main OS to finally evolve.
If you want to improve a situation, at first you will make slow progress. But I'm willing to bet on artificial meat being an engineering problem and ultimately becoming better than the real thing.
Normally that starts to happen when the rubber diaphragms and o-rings in the pressure differential valves get old and break down.
I'm not in FAANG, but I agree with your perspective. I don't think FAANG is worth it. Maybe if I was young and single so I could FIRE...

I hate software interviews, even the ones for internal postings at my company. I also have a small child and my wife works (and both have health issues I have to deal with). I often dream about quitting my job. There's never time to do anything fun. I just end up using my vacation to do maintenance/projects and take people to doctor's appointments. I don't even make that much (under $100k). What's the point of having kids and having a job if we don't get the time to do fun stuff with kids and enjoy life?

Is it common to have corrupted objects?
Because it puts economical interests over interests of people.
The best way to look at it, IMHO, is from the demand side.

Q: Why has space technology remained fairly stagnant?

A: Because the economic demand to fund improvements hasn't existed.

We look at the market and say "But all those satellites! Surely they could pay for it." But that's underestimating (a) the cost of development (HUGE! And there's a low-quantity of launches to amortize over) & (b) the value of incremental improvement (negligible, as most current customers aren't cost sensitive).

That's SpaceX's real genius. Reusability isn't a competitive advantage unless it coincides with increased demand. Demand which they themselves seeded via the StarLink constellation.

The biggest problem I have with those "canned" systems, is that there's no real conversation. I have a REALLY hard time even understanding what's being asked. In a real environment, I can ask probing questions. I have had to do a TON of HackerRank, LeetCode, and Code Katas to get used to how the questions are framed. But, I definitely enjoy solving those types of puzzles.

“ The battery life SQFMI estimates depends on your use case — it says if you’re just keeping time you should get five to seven days, but if you’re fetching data frequently you may only see two to three. Its open-source nature, however, means that you could always fit a larger battery into it, or try and make some software optimizations if there are features you’re willing to cut.”

I suspect most HN accounts are low Karma. Considering how often I see throw aways, probably by several orders of magnitude.

Relying solely on co-sign similarity, every vector is likely to be surrounded by the vectors of low karma accounts.

Or no matter which direction you travel from earth, you will almost certainly be surrounded by vacuum.
Odd.. i recently got rid of a 2006 mazda 6. it had full airbags including the side "curtain" setup.
> it's actually a sucker shortage, meaning that employers do not compete on salary.

This is apparent in the UK, where there is a two-tier market (IMHO). Those that are good at what they do and recognise their value, go semi-independent and sell to the highest bidder on a day rate.

Then there is the perm market, which pays very few people all that well, and is a constant source of complaints - "we can't fill our vacancy for X niche skill at £30k per year!". Well no, you can't, because that niche skill commands four times that, and you're thinking about software engineers as if they were office juniors, not highly skilled professionals. At this end, it is a sucker shortage.

They'll fill that role, eventually, and they'll get someone with low productivity that produces unreliable software, and they'll feel justified in their vicious low-pay, low-expectations cycle.
Depends on the team. In my team in AWS, if something was your fault, the manager would call you out in front of the entire team. Then they wondered why attrition was so high.

In many countries, the number of people getting the vaccine has plateaued, and at a fairly low level. Combine that with loosening policies, lower precautions, and more transmissible variants (like the Delta variant), and I think a lot of unvaccinated people may be at higher risk of catching it then they expect.

I want to talk about Haxe. Haxe is a small niche language. But I almost fell out of my chair when I saw the showcase of games written with Haxe. Quality indie games I have played myself, like Dead Cells, and this level editor is another very polished example. Even things like Pokemon Sword and Shield. What's going on here? I need to learn me some Haxe.

Are all of these using Kha - so called "SDL but super-charged"? Or are there even more great graphics libraries for Haxe?

I have yet to see any manufacture come out with a battery replacement program that is economical. Look at Prius as an example, battery goes out in one of them it is basically totaled from a economic stand point unless you DIY the replacement with "unauthorized" batteries.

I think the comment I made above in in regards to our db crud updates might help answer that!

But short answer is we just use node-postgres. If the get/update/delete/insert is a simple fields/table/where we use a helper function. If it's more complex we write custom SQL and use the following approach:

database.query<DB.User & DB.Pet>(`
SELECT *
FROM "pet"
LEFT JOIN user on pet.owner = user.id
`)
