It’s very common for people to overvalue their own contribution to positive outcomes. I know I do, sometimes I can see myself doing it, but it doesn’t take away the feeling that it’s true. I see it in my parents-in-law too, they think they taught my kid do something new or they saw a behavior first where we (the parents) have seen it for forming weeks.

I think it’s important to let it pass, it helps us feel involved and meaningful.
I have it turned "on" to something which is called "Discrete TPM" on my AMD but it seems that it's not good enough according to the tool.
This is sort of true, but show me a (non-trivial) C++ program that doesn't resort to naked pointers or references at some point.

In the real world, smart pointers help a lot and are a great idea but they don't fully solve the problem in the same way that Rust or memory safe languages do.
I learnt about the conflict at school using this textbook: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Edexcel-International-History-Confl...

I found it quite good, however looking it up now I see there have been complaints about it: https://5pillarsuk.com/2020/09/10/middle-east-history-textbo...

I will say my even though my History teacher taught it without any visible bias, I got the impression she was more on the Palestinian side (as was most of my class).

I hypothesised that syntax highlighting just had to provide some tangible benefits just because of how it allows the brain to process lots of information with a quick glance. After having witnessed a few geniuses work and swear by no syntax highlighting, I started to doubt my thesis, so thank you for linking the paper.

Maybe some people just perceive the syntax highlighting as cognitive overload although it's meant to achieve the exact opposite.

This is indeed a fun and challenging type of API endpoint to implement.

I built a streaming statistics server that ingests data from edge nodes and aggregates the data into a memory database.

The server has an API interface and one of the endpoints will stream all the data in either a compact or pretty JSON format.

example of the datasets: millions of unique unordered keys with each key containing a list of time series data.

The memory overhead to stream Gigabytes of data is limited to a couple of MB (buffers for encoding and writing).

I ended up having to write my own JSON encoder to achieve the small memory overhead, JSON formatting, and write performance.
> the fact that you go to university to get a good job has been the social contract pretty much everywhere in the world in the 20th/21st centuries.

It's an idea from the middle of the 20th century. For much of the 20th century, university was just something you did if you were upper class. Then someone noticed that upper-class people had good jobs and decided that must be due to their university attendance. It wasn't.
Having to do math and physics heavy work, I very much support the "fad" of having Unicode literals. "omega_0" is much worse than "ω_0" especially if you have tons of these variables.

If you don't do math it's difficult to understand, but try writing without the alphabet and expressing the same concepts. Possible but clunky

Spaced repetition is a technique for exploiting psychology's spacing effect for getting information to be stored longer [1]. That is (roughly) a memory needs to be recalled to be retained and the optimal time to do that recall is just before forgetting the material. This is implemented by Anki, which I loved using throughout my PhD and a few years afterwards with 20K+ flash cards on AI, math, and neuroscience. I started skipping doing it every day after becoming a professor, but I wish I had the time to pick it back up.

Also, memories become plastic and maleable when recalled, so just because they can recall something does not mean the memory hasn't been twisted by doing so [2].

I have the feeling that technologies like this (including these kites and also Flettner sails) are too little too late. While a 20% saving on fuel is great news for the operators of these ships (if the sails themselves are low-maintenance), the world as a whole seems to be moving off carbohydrates in the next two decades. For shipping this inevitably means to switch to green fuels (e.g., Ammonia). Once the production of such fuels has reached a certain scale, sails might not be necessary anymore.

The reason here is the extremely low cost of energy from photovoltaics: We see less than $0.03 per kwh [projected prices for some currently planned large scale farms] - that's about $0.3 for the energy of 1 kg of bunker oil. Bunker oil sells for about $300 to $500 per ton, so roughly $0.4 per kg. That means that a replacement fuel with more than 66% conversion efficiency could already be competitive right now. High Temperatur Hydrogen Electrolysis is reportedly available with 80% energy efficiency. As far as I know, there is no indication that solar costs could stop falling anytime soon, so in the next 20 years we will probably see it drop well below $0.01. So if I did not misplace a decimal somewhere, the future should be in relatively cheap large-scale green fuel.
I agree with your first point but I disagree that telemetry is required to improve UX. You can "collect information" in a respectful way by asking users instead of stalking them (and letting a malicious third-party such as Google Analytics do so as well).
Failure of teaching. Also laziness on the student is a big factor.
I think it has to do with the effort you put in. These things you do for the other person, shows the effort, and your intent behind it. An automated message is devoid of this. Maybe there was effort behind it, maybe there wasn't. So it's not much of a useful signal, in fact, it's the opposite: it signals that you don't care, because you don't put the effort in. I have a friend who feels a duty to keep up with others, in a way that to me feels forced. Therefore, when they ask me what's up, I'm reminded of this dutifulness, and it doesn't feel like a genuine human connection.

To relate all this to your comment: I think a calendar is nice. You have to make an effort to get the dates, and note them one by one. And when the date comes, you make an effort to communicate. Now, compare this to my Facebook experience. Every year, tens of messages wishing me a happy birthday. Feels good, kinda. Last year, I quit Facebook some months before my birthday. The the day came, and I got exactly zero messages. Where did my friends go?

Ask HN: MyFinReads is looking for Co-Founder
Hey guys,

I am the founder of MyFinReads(http://myfinreads.com) and we provide a marketplace for investing community.

*Why am I looking for a co-founder?*

As with any marketplace, there are two sides of the business: Supply and Demand.

The approach I am taking to grow business is to solve the supply side problem first and then use Performance marketing to solve the demand problem.

Here Supplier is the people who have sound investment idea(ex. public market, crypto) and want to share with the world. In return, a person can grow their audience and put a membership plan.

Organically, I got a few suppliers but it has slowed since then. Hence, looking for a co-founder who can solve above-stated supplier side issue.

*What I expect from you?*

1. *Commitment*: You shouldn't quit after a few unsuccessful weeks. Keep working until we become successful or die. (Not dying but you get the point)
2. *Some skills*: Managing supply pipeline. If you are in investing domain or has a good investing network, that would be ideal. It doesn't matter if you're a technical founder or a salesperson.

It's my 2nd entrepreneur effort and it's 100% bootstrapped. I don't expect my co-founder to work full-time. Also, I am a solo founder.

How can I apply? - Just write a comment

For people who had well working low maintenence environments, systemd came in and changed everything - breaking things, requiring changes to get things working again.

Its not just breaking init.d scripts, it’s ntp, dns, syslog. Systems throughout the OS fail to things that were no longer short commands with muscle memeory, there were now ridiculous convoluted commands like systemd-resolve --status instead of 30 years of typing cat /etc/resolv.conf

Even when you remember and type that in, you don’t get a simple list of nameserver and host, you get 100 lines of text you have to spend effort parsing to work out what’s going on.

When it’s less mental effort to run tcpdump port 53 to see where your DNS is going, there’s a problem.

For decades it was /etc/init.d/myserice restart

Now is it systemctl restart myservice or systemctl myservice restart? I have no idea as I’m not at a computer.

Or the restart fails it doesn’t tell you why, it gives you two locations to look for log files about why it might have broken. Init.d scripts didn’t do that. Even if there was something really wrong that log files don’t reveal, running init.d with bash -x allowed easy debugging

Systemd came in and changed working processes and systems and gave very little benefit to people with working processes and systems from a operator point of view.

>it's absolutely the case that there's an insidious strain of antisemitism hiding in advocacy for Palestinians

There's a rather more insidious strain of state supported Islamophobia and Israeli racial supremacy hiding in almost every trumped up accusation of anti-semitism.

It comes routinely from institutions who purport to speak for Jews.

For example, there's an institution named "stop antisemitism" who recently tried to offer money to dox a writer from The Onion for a joke that could in no way be construed as anti-semitic in any way, shape or form: https://www.dailydot.com/debug/the-onion-stop-antisemitism/

These people did not make a mistake. They weren't being incautious or overly zealous. They are simply racists.
Looks like this Conversations app doesn't do video calling, which kinda makes it a non-competitor compared to all of the alternatives that already exist.

I'm aware of XMPP and tried it out back in the MSN days along with IRC, but then Telegram came along which promised encryption and a much better user experience and until not so long ago I believed that Telegram would 'any day now' come around to implementing encryption proper (as everything ICT, from WhatsApp that sent plaintext messages over tcp/443 to websites around the world after LetsEncrypt, all turned on proper encryption, I didn't think that this self-proclaimed privacy-focused messenger would stay behind). And so I found myself in late 2018 starting to more and more doubt Telegram, but by then there were many competitors and Matrix seemed to be the hot thing that everyone was excited about (and it turned out that it didn't even work properly after you turned on encryption, only the unencrypted form seems to be somewhat reliable). XMPP didn't come to mind as potentially having evolved, perhaps because in the decade since MSN, I don't think I heard of a single person using XMPP for end-to-end encrypted calls. Perhaps it's great but... somehow I doubt that I never heard of a functional free decentralized/federated end-to-end encrypted multi-device user-friendly chat and (video) calling system.

We have solutions, there's an entire field with solutions, it's called climate engineering[0]. The problem is that currently it's not politically supported because the thought of humans actively editing the climate to suit our needs makes the wildly vast majority of environmentalists start foaming at the mouth and, ironically, doom trolling any solutions because the current thought paradigm is "we have to interfere less", ignoring that it's way too late for that. Also because with climate engineering there's very little need to reduce emissions, which again makes current environmentalists get aneurysms.

In other words, nowadays climate change is no longer an engineering problem, only a political one.

AKcess Brings Its Blockchain-Based Digital ID Solution to Kuwait
I just started working in an E-comerce hosting company less than a year ago with very little experince, I mean other than a C Programming course in university I had absolutely no experience so I literally had to learn everything from the beginning, starting with using Linux to Databases and some programming languages and more... but I was really Happy that it was working.

a few Months in, while working on my second sql export that i developed in a test environment which had the scheme of the companies Database, the test environment froze and then the whole Operating System of the laptop froze too.
I repooted not thinking anything of it giving that my work laptop had done that a few Times already, i then proceeded to testing my export using the live system thinking i just needed more computation power, after all what's the worst that can happen !? sure enough the web interface of the Database freezes too at which point i went back to developing the export in the test environment.
Some 40 Minutes later i get a question from the senior Programmer at the Time if i did anything on the live Database cause the whole thing froze up and with it no costumer service was possible for that time, thankfully he have already fixed it by repooting the Systeme and proceeded to tell me that the export that i have tried had more possibilities than the number of atoms on earth... so yeah i did need more computation power
Assembly is indeed intimidating for novices. I agree. But I still think that newly minted programmers need to understand something about what's under the hood of languages like python.

Maybe a full course in assembly is too much for freshmen, but they should at least understand that RAM isn't like VCR tape: you can fetch any RAM memory location in constant time, unlike with a serial storage medium like tape. And they should know some of the hardware memory addressing mechanisms that make arrays possible.
I don't think the physics checks out on that one.

Um, the Go reference explicitly states that "Source code is Unicode text encoded in UTF-8" [1], so I'm not sure what the hell this guy is talking about. The language itself maybe? Well contrary to the author of the article I'm really no fan of Rob Pike and I think he's a massive arrogant prick, but in this particular case he was absolutely right to be pragmatic for the language syntax and let people be stupid enough to use inaccessible characters in their source code. Which, come to think of it, actually flies in the face of the root principle of Go as stated by Pike himself, which is to shield dumb rookie Google developers from their supposed inexperience.

For that to work you need some equivalent of unix's `|` for disparate systems.

It's been tried but the problem becomes a sufficiently expressive interface between systems.

There is a reason why in 2021 I still occasionally dump stuff to CSV and re-import somewhere else.
You can still ruin them (ask me how I know)... If you use too intense heat right from the start, this is only a problem with induction. Or if heat surface does not fully cover the bottom of the pan the center will bulge. Probably some heavy hammering would fix that but for most homes that's as good as ruined. Basically start slow and match heat surface to pot/pan size.

> * Why do you believe that "not everyone can understand chemistry"?*

I am a physical embodiment of a person who can not understand chemistry. Basics hell yes, organic chemistry for most parts yes, process chemistry ... iffily, but when it comes to physical chemistry, I'm hopeless. And I tried. Over many years. I changed my major in university from chemical engineering to CS because my head simply would not work the way you need it to work in physical chemistry.

On the upside, I think there are surprising parallels that have made my recent life (~15 years) easier because of the lessons I picked up from chemical engineering. Conflicting feedback loops, S-curves and equilibrium states are not that different from the concepts and safeguards you encounter in distributed systems.

Ok, update: My phone is an iPhone. I want an iPhone, produced at Apple scale, just produced outside of China.

And yes, there are probably a number of other places I don't want it to be produced, but let us start with the place that literally used Falun Gong practitioners as spare parts and that literally run government sanctioned forced sterilization programs for certain ethnicities (unlike the US where one doctors action caused worldwide news coverage because of the same.)
I empathize with this point. But I don't know if the app would really work as a solution - maybe as long as the other party doesn't realize it. In media there's a trope where the relationship began as a joke, a prank, a dare, or something like that, but then the feelings realize and the relationship becomes real. That works until the genuine one realizes that the initial intent was fake, and that ruins the whole thing. While this is a trope, I think it illustrates well how people think about things like this, and why this kind of app is not productive in the end.

It's another case, maybe, if one writes an app for themselves. That, if it ever comes to light, can translate to a genuine effort, if the other party has enough empathy. But using someone else's app for this, to me, would just look lazy and/or fake.
