> Of course nobody likes it that prices go up, regardless of the "veil of money". People who remember sub-$1 gasoline will always think of that as the right price, regardless of what wages have done since then.

This argument against inflation is brought up very often in my family and circle of friends.
People are used to the way of living they were brought up in, especially because of the "savings sock" culture that seemed to be common in their youth. People that bought into it and kept their finances frozen, or bought into retirement plans that try to pay out less than promised 30+ years ago, when even if they did pay out full, it would be of insignificant worth.

It is also very difficult to fight for a decent wage, with leaders and job-givers preaching "In your age I earned half what you are asking"... Which would be not enough for rent in current money.
IT is just a cost... it doesn't create anything, doesn't produce anything, ROI is zero...

...but without IT, everything else stops, and usually people think about that only when IT departments get so "skinny", that things fail... and then they get blamed for that too.

The stages mentioned in this article are exactly what the company I last worked for went through. Inevitably they lost customers to other products with faster release cycles. The company is still limping along but at a fraction of their former revenue. It's sad, really.
You're running linux (with nix installed) on the bare metal of a mac, and then a VM on top of that running macos (with VFIO passthrough so it's not dog-slow?), is that right?

Performance is pretty reasonable? APFS works fine in this setup? No gotchas with drive encryption? ... actually, if your machine does use drive encryption, which is doing it, linux or mac? I don't know enough about mac hardware to know if there is some mac boot environment that handles encryption and then hands off to the OS (be it macos or linux).

Obsidian is an amazing note taking app.

A spectacularly efficient and dedicated two-person dev team, and an awesome community.

I was brought to Obsidian when I was looking for a replacement for Roam. Quickly after I made the switch, I realised Obsidian is a much more powerful tool.

As a plus, Obsidian is free of that quasi-intellectual pretence that Roam ‘ecosystem’ is ripe with.
Not much wilflife about it then.
I would say the measured impact of something like an xPrize is not expressly in how much money is awarded even though it does directly fuel further R&D and other expenses of the leading teams. I think it is rather the time and effort that is directed toward achieving the goal and the public discourse that is generated from the process. It is also the fact that a portion of up-and-coming engineers and scientists still in their studies will see it as inspiration to dedicate themselves toward the relevant field(s).
One of the problems is that it isn't a choice between Good and Evil. (That's Mozilla and Google, if it wasn't clear...)

When you look at Mozilla's leadership, it is not hard to be turned off by their actions. It certainly bothers me. But, returning to Chrome seems even worse. It's like a choice between 60% evil and (20% evil + 40% nuts).

So I'm doing a trifecta. Chrome at work. A mix of Firefox and Brave at home... increasingly Brave, especially on mobile.
Why not both? Scraping machine level metrics works out of the box with most agents
That’s out of context, the VP said she would take a Vaccine endorsed by medical professional not the president. It was and attack on Trumps trying to reduce red tape / rush things depending on perspective, not any specific or hypothetical vaccine.

It’s perfectly reasonable to agree or disagree with rushing vaccine deployment even further, but don’t attack a straw man.
I definitely agree with that too -- task breakdowns should be of a high level process -- they shouldn't prescribe or presume anything about the solution.
I use ff dev daily and IMO battery life hit compared to safari is still pretty bad.
"I suppose the client could maintain a list of sites that don't need SNI."

That list would be much larger than the list of sites that do require SNI.

Generally, I can determine whether SNI is required by IP address, i.e., whether it belongs to a CDN that requires SNI. Popular CDNs like AWS publish lists of their public IPs. I use TLSv1.3 plus ESNI with Cloudflare but they are currently the only CDN that supports it. Experimental but works great, IME.

The proxy maintains the list not the browser. The proxy is designed for this and can easily hold lists of 10s of 1000s of domains in memory. That's more domains than I visit in one day, week, month or year.

Is it not a question of whether this is possible. "How would this work". I have already implemented it. It works. It is not difficult to set up.

Why this works for me and would unlikely work for others.

I am not a heavy user of popular browsers, I "live on the command line". Installing a custom root certificate with appropriate SANs to suppress browser warnings is a nusiance that would likely dissuade others since they are heavy users of those programs. However I generally do not use those browsers to retrieve content from the web.
Some great resources have already been posted that I'd second such as the Ableton website and Syntorial. I'd add the course by Sean Luke out of GMU [0] if you'd like something after and possibly a little more academic. His ebook is free on his site. If you're able to find a copy of The Roland Synthesizer Book [1] I found it incredibly interesting reading. They have pictures of patches for specific sounds. I'm not sure if anyone would be able to find a print version though and I've assumed they're collector's items.

No worries.

I am not a fan of nuclear so it may not be my place but... I think one of the big issues with the field is that there are 1001 places like this. Snazzy websites, huge promises, "proven guaranteed tech" and then it turns out they haven't even build a prototype. It gives the whole field a bad name and that's not fair.
What was interesting to me is if you went back and read up on how various childhood disease worked. Nothing about Covid would surprise or confuse you. And one would not be blase about just letting it rip.
Gosh, comments like these from the actual author are a reminder of why I love HN. :)
If you have the flexibility to restrict your work to 20 hr/wk you probably also get to decide when you work; nothing says you can't work 20 hrs straight, or 80 hrs/week for a month and then take a break. Lots of consulting-type work actually prefers this approach.
This kind of civil discourse is what makes HN such a gem on the internet.
Are you looking at cases instead of deaths?
From an operational view finance and IT are more aligned than they are not. Finance is all about cash flow; where it's coming from and where it's going. And IT is all about data flow; where is good data coming from, what is it doing, where is it going. In my experience in IT most of the infosec applies broadly to the organization it's especially the case when working with sensitive financial information.

Also, because of recent ransomware attacks I've been given (almost) carte blanche to secure our network and operational infrastructure with a special focus on finance, because the spice must flow.
I went down this route as well and am the happiest I've been when it comes to managing dependencies and creating builds. I ended up taking it one step further because Apple kept breaking my hypervisor (xhyve) with every new macOS release. I built a new workstation that runs NixOS and wayland/sway. I still have my MacBook Pro for when I need macOS comforts or if I don't feel like being at my desk I can just SSH into the workstation.
1. You defer consumption today to instead spend it tomorrow. If you create $100K in value in a year, but only spend $50K of it, shouldn't you be able to instead spend most of that $50K in the future? Our whole retirement system is predicated on this.

Sure, you are spending what you earned. And if that is what you are doing, living a less expensive life so that you can finance your entire life with fewer working years, then that is perfectly fine. Probably even worth encouraging as this probably means you are consuming fewer resources.

2. If you take some of the wealth produced today, and instead of immediately consuming it, you "invest" it in something that enables more wealth produced tomorrow than otherwise would have been possible, you should be rewarded with some of that extra wealth produced.

3. Time value of money. Loaning your money or investing it carries a risk. If there is some chance that you may not get it all back, then there must be a premium charged to whomever wants to use your wealth today. Otherwise, you might as well spend it all as soon as you receive it.

In principle I agree, you should be compensated for deferred spending and incurred risk. But something must still be wrong as the outcome makes no sense. If I had to guess, I would maybe suggest systematic overcompensation, i.e. maybe the expected return should actually be exactly zero. But this is impossible to do and then there would be no incentives to invest, so the target becomes positive expected returns.

But as soon as the expected returns become positive you enter the territory of exponential growth which is not sustainable. At the very least returns should eventually drop to zero when the invested money has been multiplied so often that there is no more demand for investments. And all the time you are probably creating huge inequality and with this inequality one might also end up with a distribution of power where some can essentially demand further returns even if they should actually be zero.

In the end I have to admit that I can not truly point my finger to the issue, yes compensation for investments sounds reasonable if you discuss it on its own, but if you look at the consequences at large things do not match up. Your money does no actual work, it creates no value on its own, why should it still allow you to live without working?
The power in generative models lies in being able to flexibly generate images that belong convincingly to a set (e.g. faces, landscapes), but that are not actually in the input dataset. E.g. you can make images that look like faces, but that don't belong to any real individual.
If it doesn't work right in Firefox and Chrome, it's probably not standards-conformant and thus at a high probability of breaking when Chrome updates its layout engine. That's how I'd present the argument - making sure it works right across browsers makes your code robust against future changes in behaviour.

I don't know about that. He's someone I disagree with on many points, but he still speaks in a way that I understand. I may still disagree, but I find myself thinking that many of his points are interesting and/or at least somewhat valid.
I think the general consensus is that where it's possible to eliminate emissions, that's much better than emitting and then capturing later, but there are huge disparities across emitters as to how easy that is to do, and there's a likely outcome where getting to net zero (or even net negative) emissions involves eliminating emissions in most industries and then using capture to deal with the laggards.

Getting less abstract: there are no real technological hurdles for eliminating emissions for personal vehicles, and probably-manageable ones for other surface transport (cargo shipping, etc.). Decarbonizing the electric grid has some technological challenges to solve (mostly around intermittency and storage if we go all renewables, or cost if we go mixed renewables and nuclear), but there are reasonably clear paths forward. On the other hand, we really don't know how to do zero-carbon long haul aviation, or concrete production and curing, or aluminum smelting, or trans-oceanic shipping -- maybe portable/modular nuclear could be used for the last two, but it's still pretty pie-in-the-sky. So, maybe in the future we have electric cars but carbon capture for long-haul jets, or something.

(Aside: the recent Bill Gates climate book has a pretty thorough rundown of all the major current emitters and the levels of technological readiness for decarbonizing each.)
I think we are really conflating "app store distribution" and "the POSIX userland isn't workable in a modern security environment for end-users". POSIX apps run as the user, when they really need to be run with their own identity. Most often we should use the identity of the "developer".

Do I want Firefox to have access to my Contacts? My Photos? Do I want Facebook to have that access? To all of them, or just ones that I select? Should my disk utility have the ability to send data over the network? My IDE? My IDE plugins?

This has nothing to do with "stores", and everything to do with the security model and the UI needed to make it work. e.g., when I run `grep -e "Something" -r ~/src`, I assume grep is going to read all of the files in ~/src. But in the basic POSIX environment it can access anything I can (including, say, ~/.ssh) and open up any old socket it wants and send data wherever it chooses. Have you read every line of code of every package you've installed? Rather than relying on 'trust', 2021 requires that we actually have some security model that doesn't rely on trust, but explicit permissions and grants, and workable UI for defining that. Wouldn't it be nice if bash arranged a read-only capability granted to the grep process for all files under ~/src based on the above command, and if the grep executable itself had no inherent permissions at all?
But browsers could disable third party cookies, and autodelete first party cookies on page/tab close by default.

There would be a "keep cookies for this site" button somewhere near the address bar, and at each login, the browser would also ask you if you want to save your password and/or save cookies for that domain.

99% of websites don't require persistant storage, and those who do, 99% of them are sites you're logged into and already prompt the user, asking if they want to save the password.
Where I was at, in an entirely different field, it wasn't uncommon for faculty to obtain summer salary through summer teaching. Usually that was reserved for graduate students, but it was a normal thing for some faculty to have.
In my observation the people that remember him as an insult comic have only the most superficial acquaintance with the man and his work.

This is very dependent on the individual. I personally prefer intense, all-consuming project-oriented work, followed by longer gaps to recover. I think what we share is some form of a state of decompression/recovery though.
Naw, the "mandatory viewing" is pretty much all prestige television and blockbuster movies. Marvel is just the brand you are particularly irritated with. It makes sense because most other forms of entertainment have become too fragmented to have a meaningfully shared experience with anyone. Music, games, sports, arts are so niche and idiosyncratic now that a water cooler conversation is hard. New blockbuster TV and movies are still mainstream and accessible enough to break the ice with someone.

> "he was declined tenure for no good reason"

Usually you get tenure for a good reason. Plenty of very talented people are denied it for no good reason. I'm not saying that his accusations are untrue, but denial of tenure happens all of the time, so the onus is really on him to say why he should have gotten it.

I feel like i'm missing some pieces of this story though. Why did a previously tenured academic well into his career agree to take a poorly paid job without tenure in the first place?
I have the same symptoms as you; standing still, my lower back starts to ache after 30 minutes or so, but I can walk or run for miles and my back is fine.

My hamstrings are very tight from sitting all day, to the point that I cannot even bend 90 degrees at the waist with my back straight without discomfort in my hamstrings. I've assumed that tight hamstrings are the root cause to my back pain while standing, but I haven't fixed it yet.

The best results I've had in the past when I was more physically active were from doing "good-morning" exercises. I think it's because you build strength in the stretched position, which is important according to various books I've read like "relax into stretch" and articles on PNF stretching. When I was doing these exercises regularly I was able to put my forhead to my knees without doing any regular stretches.
Most likely the count is based on the life of Alexandre Dumas father General Thomas-Alexandre Dumas. As told in The Black Count https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Black_Count:_Glory,_Revo..., Napoleon had conspired to have the elder Dumas arrested and dishonored.

Maybe, but the underlying reasons for WW2 still existed (and indeed it had started by that time). Would Goering or Himmler have taken over and done things differently? Perhaps the allies would have sued for peace, perhaps the invasion of France would wait until the smoke cleared and a new leader is in place, with the same army and increased internal pressures. Would that new leader invade the Soviet union before pacifying the UK. Would a delay in invading France have led to FDR not standing in 1940? There's all sorts of posibilities, but it doesn't feel as major a change as some other fateful decisions - the broad strokes wouldn't have changed.
Monitor the general 5xx error rate so you have high SNR.

Cover mistakes with robust probers that should get 200 and then alert on any non-200 response.
For sure. I don't see these as comprehensive, nor as reasons not to try (nor even think it'd be possible to stop others from trying them).

But I worry that this path is already the one we're disposed to fail/default into, and that a rose-tinted view of it will only make it easier for other opportunities slip through our fingers while gobs of smart people focus on the technological half of the moon-shot.

Put another way, the degree of optimism I hear on these approaches smells like the kind of hubris that causes people to lose races they think they've won.
Noise generators tend to be pretty important as they allow you to add complexity to sound synthesis that you can't extract from very determinative wave forms
There is more greenery/forestation, and likely more biomass downstream, but I would expect other effects to cancel those effects beyond certain thresholds. For example, even though plankton and algae might benefit from additional carbon and heat, acidification of the ocean might lead to a net decrease in both.
Not an answer but you can double-click on a single word, keep the button pressed and drag-select whole words. When you get used to it it's quite useful.
backgrounder:

It's not obvious to outsiders that being a successful researcher is expensive, and the university does not pay for it after a short startup period. Harvard is unusual in that they have much more internal student scholarship money than most, which helps a lot. That subsidy, and the Harvard brand, means that Harvard faculty have a good advantage over the field when raising money.

On the other hand, a lot is expected of them. The university is considering the opportunity cost, and the opportunity is very valuable.
It's fine to scrape the metrics, but what I'm saying is don't alert on them by default until you are sure that a particular server metric is actually a good alert.
To add to this, ironically the only reason he even went back to Harvard (IIRC) is because he has strong feelings for Harvard. He was actually tenured at Princeton when he went to Harvard. So I can't blame him lol
Insider leak on the current happenings inside Blizzard
I see about a 10% performance improvement on my local machine on the input in test.py when not constructing the unnecessary second list.

I don't really buy that it reads nicer in prose since you can just do (a + b).sort() if you want. Plus, I feel like it's important for readability to not be unnecessarily redundant. Having list(a + b) code also risks creating misconceptions about how lists can be constructed and used in Python.
There's a few "Plants and trees won't do" comments here, which really misses the entire point of regenerative methods. Earth is an entire complex living system. Thinking of it as a simple chemical matter of CO2 is a very reductionist take. The point is to sequester carbon but ALSO trigger other cooling dynamics and reducing certain industrial practices that themselves release CO2. Too many engineers need to study complex systems and holistic approaches. The amount of patronizing makes me think of the fatal engineering flaw of "It can't be this simple".

I am really sorry he was not treated well. He is one of those people who I am grateful to have in the world because they push back against untrue “accepted narratives.” There is so much bullshit in the world, from corporations, governments, and almost all news media.
