by "rebuild the world" I don't mean "do a clean rebuild" (which frankly isn't a problem in 2021 with CMake + Ninja, the last time I had to rebuild is when the compiler changed from clang-11 to clang-12) but "to build a bazel-based software, all its dependencies must be built with bazel too", e.g. it's harder if you want to link against system-provided Qt, ffmpeg, ...

I find documentation as a hygiene practice like washing my hands.

Most of it is unread, and when it is, I don’t know about it. But it helps me to write it as I can revise the code that the docs are supposed to reflect. I try, whenever possible to embed docs directly in source or at least the repo.

I generate static sites from them and a few years ago added our web analytics to find that the docs are actually read. So they are used, but it’s jot like the readers send me notes saying “great docs, they helped me X.”
If you interviewed two developers, one who produces reasonably correct code in a given amount of time, and another one who produces code which is subtly incorrect most of the time, but much faster, which one would you hire?

The problem with your proposal is that it's relatively easy to do what Copilot does at the moment using AI, i.e. guess what code you are looking for and find something that does (or says it does) more or less that. However, which codebase would you use to check against if the generated code is really correct? The same codebase that produced the more-or-less-correct code in the first place?

I went through most of the Hutton book but I already had an elementary background in the language. Then some of the recommended CIS194 course. (3-6 months spent studying total.) Finally I decided upon a project that was right in one of Haskell's strong points: parsing/compilation [0]. Everything was a Google search: how to start a Haskell project with Nix? How parse command-line arguments? How to write a parser for a calculator? What the hell does this compiler error mean??!! Find the answer and get straight back to it. I would still consider myself intermediate, and not proficient, at the language.

While it is one person's opinion (albeit well explained) I strongly appreciated Chris Allen's efforts to evaluate existing learning material (prior to co-writing his book) as well as recommending a learning path [2]. Ultimately there is multitudinous material to study. For the textbook-like route, choose something that seems sensible and commit, leaving only when it appears to no longer be fulfilling the purpose. Juggling too many artifacts is like interrupting programmers.

I don't use VS Code but again, my elementary knowledge of the language, plus sufficiency with GHCi, meant I could stay within my Vim comfort zone. If anyone has a good single resource for configuring Vim for Haskell I'd love to see it?

I have a Kindle Vella coming out (this is Amazon's new serialized fiction format that's expected to go live this week), and I've been writing it in Obsidian using both mobile and desktop apps. The ability to open multiple views of notes conveniently has worked great, because I have notes for characters and settings and such, plus a master note providing a general index, and then a note for each episode of the Vella.

I have noticed that Obsidian (plus my Smart Keyboard) drains my iPad's battery a bit more than a full native app might, but it doesn't drain it nearly as much as a game and it works amazingly well.

I also using Obsidian as the backing store for my blog/site[1] and the ability to link up notes on a public site is really nice. I'm not even taking advantage of this fully yet. Because Obsidian uses plain Markdown as the source of truth, it was easy to write code[2] to augment page content with backlinks myself and then feed it to Hugo for generation of my site.

Overall, I'm a very happy customer!

People install free software on computers in Apple Stores all the time though, don't they? It's part of testing out the computers, and expected by Apple. As mentioned in the story, Apple resets the computers each night.

> It was a re-encode at crf=22.5, with zero encoder tuning and preset at fast. Needless to say, it was blocking and artifacts galore. The icing on the cake? The audio was FLAC “to preserve audio quality”… I’m pretty sure there are more people in this world with 1080p screens than high-end headphones lol.

Not to say the author is wrong, as their example is very drastic, but I don’t think this matter is so black-and-white.

1) Audio quality matters more than the quality of the video in terms of viewing satisfaction (this one is my subjective opinion).

2) The better your audio system, the more important the source material quality.

3) Lossy compression is a one-way road. Did the distributor recode from lossless, or applied their own lossy encoding on top of an already lossy stream because they couldn’t be bothered to reconfigure their tools? You don’t even have the data to tell how messed up your sound is. Meanwhile, with lossless there are straightforward ways to tell whether it’s “true lossless” (i.e., wasn’t up-coded from a lossy format).

4) Distributing truly lossless video is currently just plain impossible (from obtaining the requisite master files to dealing with such volumes of data), so we are choosing between “different degrees of evil” out of necessity. Distributing lossless audio ultimately is feasible, at the expense of a couple hundred megabytes.

In the end, if we’re speaking about a work of value (e.g., a good classic film), I wouldn’t mind spending extra megabytes on preserving the original audio.

Basically, we have reached equality a long time ago and we needed a new thing to fuel the outrage machine that divides the people. So we invented a new term, shifted the goal posts from equality of opportunities to equality of outcome and here we go again.

What's fascinating to me is how quickly we went from denying that we were after equality of outcome to embracing it as the new and only goal. This is a true black belt double think move right there.

I think you're right but for the wrong reasons.

IME few people genuinely care about the poor beyond micromanaging them for their own good or getting them to be out of sight out of mind.

Sin taxes, generally speaking, are how the HN class incentivizes the landscaper class to behave more like them (to varying degrees and with various pretexts as needed per issue).

Currently they are mostly limited by the middle class's ability to exempt itself. Finer targeting will enable them to go hog wild.

There is certainly fewer reasons to pirate games today than in the past. Three major things have changed since the '90s.

First is the advent of free to play games. While some are filled with dark patterns, many are very much playable for "freeloaders". Call of Duty Warzone, Starcraft 2, League of Legends, Valorant, CS:GO, even more casual games like Team Fortress 2, there's plenty of gaming for everyone without paying a dime.

Second is the sales. It was unusual in the past to have games for few dollars. Nowadays it's the norm. With Steam Sales and similar sales on other platforms, you can buy many AAA quality games for just a few dollars. Recent releases can be had for reduced prices too.

Third is the giveaways. Especially with Epic, but to some extent with GOG and Steam, it's very easy to have "games to play" these days. I have over 100 games on Epic and I didn't pay anything for them. About 20% of them are indie games that I probably won't ever play, but the remaining 80% are big games such as GTA 5 or Borderlands.
I was swayed by the argument against working in pairs, then swayed back by your argument in favour of working in pairs. I think the key part that changed my mind was "two students that get along well with each other". I wonder if you emphasise this in your instructions to students? And if so, how?

> GitHub is going to be trusted a lot more

> GitHub has a brand that's trusted more

Consider Google Translate, right? Google is a well-known brand that is trusted (outside of a relatively small group of people that doesn't trust Google on principle). Yet every professional translator knows that the text produced by Google Translate is a result of machine translation, Google or no Google. They may marvel at the occasional accuracy, yet expect serious blunders in the text, and would therefore not just trust that translation before submitting it to their clients. They will check. Or at least they should.

Same with programmers.
This articulates some of the concerns I had trying copilot.

I noticed that I ended up assuming the code reviewer role when I was trying to write code. Context switching between writing and reviewing felt unnatural.

I also think I am less likely to spot a bug than I am to avoid writing it in the first place. Taking the off-by-one error in the last example. I don't think I would have made that mistake, but if copilot had presented that code block, I probably wouldn't have noticed the error either.
Everything changes when you ditch the network and store the database locally (markdown files and json metadata).

I used Notion for years before Obsidian and the speed alone is a reason to never go back.

On a related note, I also consider Linear to be quite fast and responsive especially when you learn the keyboard shortcuts. And to achieve that responsiveness, they load the whole database (or deltas) at startup.

I think the potential for cost reduction in nuclear is far bigger.

There is no inherent reason why a small reactor couldn't be mass produced. In a perfect world you would have a factory spitting out finished nuclear reactor every day.

Transport it to a site, drop it into a concrete hole, connect the salt loop and plug in the refiling pipe.

It really shouldn't need much operation other then planning how much to refuel.

We have gotten used to thinking of nuclear reactors as these civil engineering projects with large costume one of designs, but there is no inherent reason why you can't produce them at comparable to speeds other items of that size are built. Really once you have the material qualified a nuclear reactor is in some ways simple then a rocket engine or an airplane.

The problem in days world is that you need to get threw regulation (in the US factually not possible, and requires complex engagement with every countries regulatory scheme) and then you need enough costumers that you can actually invest in the assembly line.

Because in this particular scenario there’s zero functional difference, even if in the only slightly more general, there is an absolutely huge difference.

In the specifics of the implementation, the ethical details are the same. In the more general, quite different.

And that’s sort of the point. It may be unethical art, but it’s no more unethical than what’s happening across millions of websites and billions of devices. It’s not more unethical than the work of countless corporate ad (and otherwise) engineering hours focused on the Wonder of the World that is surveillance capitalism.
But it's the fundamental, most basic truth.

If there is anything that people who want to lose weight should do, it's eat less. Skip the snack. Smaller portions. That's incredibly hard to do, of course, and easier said than done, but ultimately it is behind virtually all successful weight loss. What is behind an enormous number of failed weight loss attempts are waving that away and believing some specific macronutrient is really the cause, if you just subscribe to whatever the current trend is.

People get really upset about the calories reality.

And indeed if you compare caloric intake between say 1970 and 2010, there was a significant jump in the average diet. Grain products rose, but not nearly as much as fats and oils rose. People ate more and they got fatter. When excess accumulates over time, the increase doesn't have to be large. More calories in, BMI increased.
MD is great for a readme, or a book where someone is going to read it once and digest the info. Markdown is a presentation format and is much easier to write then HTML since its less expressive.

Note taking can be deep and contain a lot of data (lists of items copied form CSVs, code snippets, documenting failures). Notes are more like code. You can spend your whole day in it - tweaking code blocks, refactoring, etc.

A lot of my sections are 5 tabs deep. Doing this with stars is harder to type, harder to copy/paste, and harder to read.
>One example I've seen of a bot automatically creating PRs is dependabot to automatically update dependencies, but in my opinion it adds way more noise than value. Running a command locally to do the updates is just as easy, without any of the noise.

It's just that you need to set up some kind of recurring reminder to do that kind of work, which ends up also being noise, and the work is a chore, nothing more. IMO the noise of a bot emailing you a ready-to-merge PR (usually 1 click) is better than the noise of a calendar event with at least 3 manual steps.
