You hit right on the two biggest challenges.

First, I’m trying really hard to get an Android version ready by the end of the year.

Second, we’re going to be offering some group deals and discounts, so one person can pay to get their whole family / group / crew on the network for an introductory period.

No doubt it will be slow going for a while.

But I think (hope?) that once people get a taste of an easy way to keep in touch, without the platform itself working against you, then it will start to spread organically and pick up steam.
I use Mac a lot too (I do use pretty much all platforms every day). But I don't use Launchpad for the same reason. I don't find it fits well on my big 24" screen. I don't want huge icons spread out over the whole thing, same issue I had with Windows 8.

Instead, what I do is I add the Applications folder to the dock and set it to pop-up grid mode. That way it provides a nice start menu. Incidentially this was pretty much how 'things worked' in earlier versions of macOS. In the oldest versions you'd just get a finder window with your apps, and when Stacks came in Leopard (IIRC) this became the de facto 'start menu'. They later introduced launchpad as a unifying thing with the iPad but I just don't think full screen interfaces work well on large screens.

Also using spotlight is a handy way of launching apps. I use both together a lot.

And yes I totally agree that the minimised windows are hard to spot on macOS, and so is the dot to see which program is running or not. Apple has been tuning down this dot a lot over the years because they don't want users to care about it. It used to be a perfectly serviceable triangle in Tiger and went downhill from there.

And yeah I don't think the point is them preventing Linux either. Even if you have a TPM you still retain full control and can still add your own secureboot keys if you want to.
It hasn't done that and it is unlikely that they will. There are UK based exchanges, the issue here is with binance specifically and not cryptocurrencies in general.

But for instance people like to be on slack, and Zoom calls were fun before everyone got sick of them. The sentiment around Teams whenever it has come up around me has always been one of pained obligation.
Where might this have occured? At first I guess Sarajevo, but then it mentions a population of 6000, so it must have been elsewhere...
Spurious downvotes seem to suggest not.
> It is probably breeding practices here, to promote attributes other than taste.

That's a factor, but also stronger flavor isn't considered a positive thing in chicken in the US.
I don't like the Swiss plug. The 3x socket has a problem where a bulky charger will block all three sockets. I'd almost always rather have two sockets with some space between them.

And non-recessed sockets, which the Swiss socket allows while Schuko doesn't, make me uneasy.
Windows 11 is a free upgrade if you have a Windows 10 license. You can't sell operating systems to consumers anymore, you have to sell OEM licenses to manufacturers, who in turn sell you a new computer with the new OS.

I think the threat models of the overwhelming majority of individuals would prioritize scenarios that involve lost or stolen laptops/desktops over law enforcement. So Microsoft defaulting to protecting the security needs of the common man over criminals seems entirely reasonable to me. Criminals (or the security/privacy conscious) can organize their enterprises to make sure that their BitLocker keys aren’t stored where law enforcement agencies can get them. And I say that as someone who really does have concerns about the possibility that this can be abused, but I still believe it’s a reasonable default.

Hardly, when the solution is to emulate the ABI of another OS.

OS/2 was also a great platform for games by that measure, thanks Win-OS/2.
I think the name shortening is very common in practically every science - and when we are not restricted to ASCII it is even worse, you would see mostly single letter names, combined with subscripts, superscripts, fonts, extra alphabets like Greek and so on.

At least things like ifr_flags are easy to read, easy to type, and unique enough you ca search for them.
I have an old 2012 Asus G75VS gaming laptop with Core i7 upgraded to SSD and 32GB RAM. It works like a charm and beats modern cheap laptops to submission as well. However I do not really care if it can be upgraded to Windows 11. It runs few particular applications, is air gapped and will stay this way until it dies in order not to get some unwanted update/upgrade.

But if it was something like my spare development laptop I'd surely be pissed off at Microsoft. The way this laptop runs

I think pay should look like a bell curve over time

It seems somewhat obvious to me that this should be the case, but maybe I'm missing something

Also, pay should decrease as you do less work

That is, every time you climb a level on the corporate ladder, you should get paid less

And, of course, all the natural conclusions should follow -- janitors and laborers should be paid the most, etc.

I'd wager that major intelligence agencies installed people within airline cleaning services to obtain exactly this sort of waylaid documentation with regular success (pre-COVID).
Was coming to respond the same thing. I used a processor from the same generation (2500k) from May 2011 to May 2021, including for gaming. Upgraded to an SSD at some point and the video card, but the processor was still fine. I would've kept it another couple years but I was having some issues (I think a ram stick had gone bad) and the easiest solution was $500 canadian for a new processor (10400F), motherboard, and ram

I'd take the argument farther - I suspect the hypothetical 2015 computer referenced would be fine for most users (with non-processor upgrades) until 2030.
I think it's useful information, even if it should be intuitive. I know a number of people who shop at the dollar store because they believe they're saving money. In particular I think it's nice to shed some light on the special arrangements the stores make with manufacturers to produce products that look like the equivalent of what you get in a normal store but only cost a dollar, while in fact containing so little of the actual product that they're a worse deal.
You may be right, I recently (a few years ago) ate garden tomatoes that my mom had planted and they also tasted amazing, so that tracks.
> Type systems are one of the best solutions to the tarpit of complexity that large systems inevitably incur.

(Disclaimer: I haven't read the paper you linked.) Also, type systems aren't the only game in town, but they're more approachable than the alternatives. Type systems are a walk in the park compared to formal verification frameworks, for instance. If you write your project in verified SPARK, the prover will take all the guess work out of the interactions between subsystems, but again, verified SPARK is no cakewalk.

If your ambitions are no higher than throwing together a giant ball of mud that's impossible to precisely reason about, then sure, stick with an anaemic static type system or a dynamically typed language. As a discipline though, we have the means to do better. (Are my biases showing?)

As I mentioned in my other comment, various modern statically typed languages have decisively eliminated null-dereference errors. That kind of thing can't be achieved if the programming environment is a free-for-all.

To quote an obscure novel, Nothing is an absolute reality; all is permitted. So it is in the dynamically typed world.
With that quantity of calories I assume bodybuilding? What was your prior ideal of perfection that you were chasing and for what purpose? (Personal satisfaction, competition, etc)
Looked into this myself and you're absolutely correct. Reference 11 doesn't even come close.
I've been using a late 2011 MacBook Pro with Ubuntu Mate. From my experience, not only are operating systems becoming over demanding in hardware specifications, but so are dynamic web pages and the internet as a whole.

It's almost impossible to browse the internet with a 10 year old pc. Something that was a lot more forgiving with older hardware 8 to 10 years ago.

Future generations are growing with TikTok, Instagram, and all these apps that demand complex rendering tasks and large streams of video data. This is raising the bar on hardware requirements.
> Syntax highlighting is fine since it's another way to help, but color having some kind of importance so that pink code and violet code run differently would be hell for me.

It's not a colorblind thing; that's just a terrible idea even if you nominally can distinguish the colors. (Citation: personal experience.)
Australia and New Zealand have had extended periods of zero COVID, which has allowed day-to-day life to be largely unaffected by the pandemic.

My model is: Bitcoin investing is gambling. There are no underlying factors that could rationalise a “long” position.

You used euro/usd comparison… why not Argentina peso to usd… is there a chance it could close higher than the usd tomorrow? - no. Because the underlying economies do effect currencies and they are not random despite the three paragraphs of prose you wrote.

My question, perhaps poorly put, is why would you (rationally) go long on Bitcoin? It looks like pure gambling/speculation. I’m 100% wanting to know the value judgement being made. I’m quite okay if that answer is: gambling.
Thus far, I've given up:

Since you mention the Google SRE book, I'm curious if you've read the Google SWE book (and if so, what your thoughts are).

https://abseil.io/resources/swe-book has a link to a PDF copy.

I've read through about... half of it; at least from my perspective (as a current software engineer at Google with experience with most of the systems / processes outlined in the book), a lot of it is philosophical about the "why" of software engineering.
This article is a mishmash of criticisms that have already been voiced countless times already. It's a medley of mediocre critiques.

A better approach would have been to tackle one of these "myths" and explain the misconception more convincingly than it has been explained before. Or at least to approach the critique from a unique vantage point.
How do I start investing?
how does one in US go about building investment portfolio? I have about 30k now and making more than I spend on living so Id like to save save and invest some. do I just walk into chase and ask for help?

also, is there any way I can invest pretax? and if I can should I?

and because of the proprietary nature of the software, independent individuals can't patch their own computer like an official Windows Update can.

At least for older versions, there have been plenty of unofficial patches for various things, and many of those are open-source too.

Patching binaries has been a long tradition in the DOS/Windows world, going back decades.
Perhaps, because win7 is known for being "the last good windows" with some privacy. It may or may not be true, but a lot of people are adamant about not using linux while also trying to maintain privacy, hence they use win7. I imagine such users would probably use a browser like firefox.
Joshua Waitzkin, US Chess Champion, Taichi Push Hands World Champion, covers the topic of intuition several times in his book the Author of the Art of Learning. I highly recommend this read (favorite book of all time). Its not a book focused on intuition specifically, but it does cover it alot .

Once you achieve a high level of mastery and experience your area of work, intuition, seems a lot more relevant and reliable. Here are some clear visual examples in sports (but they apply to all disciplines i firmly believe):

Example1: How is Cristiano Ronaldo such a phenomenal elite soccer player?

Example2: How are master level chess players able to calculate positions almost instantly or recall game positions from a long time ago?

I found this conversation with Tim Ferris and Josh Waitzkin might pique your curiosity and they talk about intuition in sports and business.
- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4r6gr7uytQA

TLDR of whole response: topic mastery and experience really help develop intuition

Recent personal example of building intuition for me:

I have been doing a lot of programming contest questions. Initially I was getting stumped on how to approach the problems that kept re-appearing again and again. After so much repeated failure, I felt what I was missing was an understanding of underlying principles and patterns for certain coding questions. I found a resource online and discovered there were lots of topics I had never heard of in these programming contests / coding interview problems like “sliding window”, “2 pointer” etc….

After I started drilling down on those types of problems I struggled with, when I encountered new unseen or familiar looking questions my mind was able to *immediately suggest to me an approach towards solving the problem. Before It would take me a long time to decide how I was going to approach the problem and it was because I lacked knowledge and depth in the area I was working in.
The article had good points, but it misses one opportunity for businesses that see value in this model: marketing exposure.

If I were someone who wanted to try a brand and do not want to pay big upfront, I will start here and then buy in bulk later if I am satisfied.

Yes, some established brands sells their leftover inventory (brand impression as a side-benefit), but I have also seen some unknown, generic brands start over at dollar stores and then disappear off-shelf.

My hypothesis is that they either failed, or were testing the market/demand (cheaper shelf space?) before selling to more traditional retailers, but I am not sure this is the case. Need an insider to understand the logistics.

Aside from that, there are some really good deals that gets rid of branding/bs, that adds cost to the product's price - sometimes, without much added value or quality difference.
Lol, I thought this was going to be about crypto currency. Lovely article!
> Just saw that it is actually open source and will be available for non-commercial use for free. I'm more than fine with that model!

Yeah, we are using the dual-licensing model that some other projects use.

Source available may be a more accurate description, since it can be somewhat controversial to claim to be open source and use our licensing model.

Tl;dr:

- Commits from the core team are licensed under an EULA for 18 months. You can use Oni2 for free for non-commercial stuff, but need a license for commercial use.

- After 18 months, commits are re-licensed to MIT license, and appear in the Oni2-MIT repo, where they are then subject to the normal rules of that license.

We do also periodically give to the upstream projects that power us, i.e. you'll see our name in the Vim leaderboard thingy since we give money to the charity that Vim asks for donations to.

And to be clear, whilst we use the vim source code as the editing experience base, the UI is our own, thought obviously looks very similar to VSCode, though no UI code is shared etc (Oni2 is written in Reason, VSCode in Typescript).
Every program can already read its entire address space. What you're probably trying to refer to is when a subroutine is hosted within a virtual machine, given a side channel the subroutine can read the address space of the VM host.

This is an extremely niche scenario, basically it's just browsers. Most people don't accept arbitrary programs to execute in their address space.
Fun fact: the Surface Studio 2 is fully supported until October 2, 2024 with no need to replace the OS!

idk I always found it to be accurate enough. Also it was a helpful canary to see that if the estimated time remaining dropped quickly, it probably meant I was doing something power-intensive, which maybe I would want to do something about.

It seems like it would be trivial to change the default and leave the time estimate as an option.

Food in the US is just such a pile of shit and ability to distiquish quality from garbage in americans is so non-existent that it doesn't surprise me that there is someone here in the US that really believes you can make Parmiggiano or Feta outside the area they got invented.

There's really no such system. In TCP/IP, we refer to "layer 3" and "layer 4" protocols, in reference to OSI, but TCP/IP isn't an OSI protocol, the lines between L2 and L3 are blurred by things like ARP and DHCP (or completely eliminated in overlay networks and multicast), and none of the rest of the layers are even informally specified for TCP/IP.

If all you're saying is that TCP/IP has, among its many goals, a separation of concerns, sure. But most major systems designs have separations of concerns.
Oh, I didn't think to mention any of those, resulting in many significant omissions from my list. Some of them are things I didn't even know about! A few are kind of on the boundary: GPT-3 arguably isn't "systems software" (although we'll see, I guess) and TPUs are hardware. But certainly TPUs have big implications for systems software design if you're training ANNs.

The time since Pike's paper has been a golden age of systems software research, perhaps even more significant than the 01959-01980 period.

That's an argument for unmoderated flamewar. That's not what HN is. If you're imagining a version of HN that is "like the current HN, but without the current moderation practices," you'll have to forgive me for considering that a fantasy.

There's also no evidence that anybody said that as a "discussion sinking" tactic. On the contrary, the simplest explanation easily applies: people responded to flamebait with more flamebait, which cascaded into flamewar. This is one of the most common phenomena that exists here, and one doesn't need sinister constructs to understand it.
No, I did not prove you wrong. I highlighted a risk that's implicated for the diet you're hawking. Maybe you'd enjoy living with a colostomy bag; no judgements here.

True I don't know Haskell but from what I can tell these loops are a far cry from what I'm proposing. One variable, monads, and apparently side effects.
