What's your frame of reference for this statement?

Mostly I've seen a very mixed bag of opinions, reactions and measures over the past year and a half.

I think people are pushed to extremes because there's a heady mixture of:

1. an invisible, unthinking enemy breaking through borders affecting everyone and causing an inflection in basic social etiquette that demands action in very grey and alien moral zones most people have no experience in

2. the internet increasingly dominating the human experience while still being a relatively new, mindfuck global network that (a) undermines basic instincts honed for thousands of years, (b) increases fringe and extreme communities by enabling distributed social networking, and (c) enables surveillance and individual targeting on a scale most preceding dystopian literature couldn't imagine

3. unsolveable, self-perpetuating issues such as racism (as a proxy for culture wars and systemic oppression), conspiracy theories / misinformation (as a means of fracturing and neutering political movements that empowers users and proponents like a heroin-dealer empowers the neighborhood) and wealth inequality (the 'meritocratic' cloak over the otherwise naked aristocracy of capitalist societies) all dominate discourse and news cycles with the apocalyptic 'slow' train of climate change coming into view that we can't avoid because the sheer scale escapes our petty existential crises and sadistic impulses that have driven history and gotten us here (wherever the hell 'here' is)

4. the release of the tiger king documentary
I'm not usually a fan of capital punishment, but whoever said "no, it needs to look like a real instrument knob" is on track to change my stance there.
Sorry, you said "I don't actually need/want any sort of sync integration".

But what you're describing is just... regular sync?

What are you asking for that's not regular sync? What am I missing here?
> except that the letters and syllable distribution bear a strong similarity to natural languages. A XVth century forger could not possibly have known about this.

A XVth century schizophrenic would have had at least one natural language, and could therefore have, consciously or less so, made up another one.

EDIT: If successful it may perhaps still be deciphered; if the descent into illness had gone too far it may not actually make any sense to be decoded out of it -- but still look like a "real" language.
Studio3 Wireless ($349), for example, but I didn’t look for anymore since I have that one handy in memory. I only included that comment to fend off nitpickers and having a single example is sufficient. Still. Which Beats moved over to USB-C? It doesn’t sound like Apple connector rules apply reliably to Beats, which makes sense given their Android-compatibility market target.
Python is a nicer language to use than C or C++ but that is not a very high bar to pass.

The main reason VBA is horrible is because it allows dynamic typing by default and Python would not help there at all.

VB syntax is actually nicer than Python syntax in at least 3 aspects: 1) VB is not case sensitive 2) VB allows specifying data types 3) VB uses If Then Else End If style syntax that makes it clear where things start and stop.

If Excel actually had the SQL based query interface inside the spreadsheet, it would make most of VBA unnecessary and probably improve the performance of Excel macros by several orders of magnitude.

No they don't. What you actually do in your job matters a lot. If you're actually good, you get picked up by better firms. I've interviewed literally hundreds of candidates for top-tier companies I've worked for, and those candidates mostly cone from the 'rest' of the schools, not the top 10. I didn't come from the top 10 either.

Also, for grad school, the top 10 don't matter as much to an employer as relevant research to something they care about. Grad rankings are nearly useless.

I went to state school (VT) undergrad and grad. I've worked in plenty of very good places.
Note I didn’t even say “most people,” just majority. I know there are plenty of single-issue voters and residency selectors too.

I feel like this used to work properly until a month or so ago.

The worst bug I've seen, and this is also something that only started happening in the last several months, is select messages simply not appearing!
So basically I open my computer in the morning and look at Teams and it'll have messages from overnight. EXCEPT some messages did not make it, like, at all. There was a whole thread that had replies that were simply not visible to me. I even replied to that thread and on my screen the reply appeared right after the last visible message whereas for everyone else it appeared after the 40 or so messages that came in overnight.

I haven't been the only one to run into that issue either. Restarting Teams is the only thing that brought the messages back.

Now that's what I call a critical bug! Who knows how many things I've missed.
And with the long development cycles required for silicon, any conceivable "M1X delay" wouldn't be related to disappointing performance surprises. The M1X would have already been "mostly done" at the moment when the M1 launched.

If Apple is dealing with any surprises relating to the silicon, those would most likely be security issues discovered/reported in the M1 platform after launch. Only Apple knows what's on that list – it's definitely not empty – and whether any of them must be fixed before M1X devices ship.
I wish I knew, and that would shed much light on the disinformation landscape if it were known. He's almost certainly vaccinated himself (he refuses to say, and Rupert Murdoch is), so it's unlikely he believes his own bullshit.
That's still Chromium. I care more about avoiding a browser monoculture than I care about dick-measuring the corporate ethics of the three remaining companies which actually maintain actual browser engines.

People might hate Safari but with Firefox slowly retreating into obscurity, Safari looks to be the final vanguard against a total Chromium monoculture. Yet many on HN absolutely abhor Safari because it doesn't currently support some bleeding edge feature which end users probably don't care about.

I went to GaTech, picked a random PhD student and looked at his CV. He had only one paper prior to starting at GaTech, and he was the last author. Picked another one and that one did have a first author paper. Couldn't find CVs for the others I picked.

Went to UIUC. First random student I picked had no publications prior to joining UIUC. 2nd one I picked had one, but not as first author. 3rd one I picked had none prior to joining UIUC.

Might be a subdiscipline thing.

I saw a physical poster or sign the other day which didn't even go that far. It had ("f" logo)/name. I had the same reaction.
I’ve always felt pretty in touch with what I want and why, but I’d never thought about it like this. Thanks for the interesting thought.
I really liked this article: https://bottosson.github.io/posts/oklab/

OKLAB is a perceptual colour space, which is really useful for things like colour-picker tools, image editor controls, web development, CSS styles, etc...

You can use this kind of colour space to make two colours that are equally bright and equally saturated, but exactly 180 degrees apart on the colour wheel. If you use this instead of RGB hex codes, you get much better looking results. It'll make your app or web page "pop" with minimal effort...
I only work at Amazon so I’m not actually good. The “rest” are still only large in proportion because of their population size - most are like me and will never get into companies like Two Sigma or Google. I sure can’t.
Cache is not the problem, my IDE uses ~10GB (IntelliJ with very large projects), Chrome can use 20-30GB depending on tabs open. Then you've got Docker which is 5GB on a good day, 10GB on a bad day.

I'm currently using 40GB and I rebooted on Monday.
I also didn't like the change. I prefer a clearer separation between tabs, but I don't notice it anymore. I'm not a great tab user, though: just a handful at a time, but perhaps an extra window or two for different tasks (e.g. general browsing, keeping an eye on our websites, and some standard library/stack overflow/AWS/etc. pages).
I won't be able to REST until I hear the endpoint of this epic saga.

One of the problems that I have with the thumb cluster with the ergodox is placement. Given my hand size, I need to have my thumb in further extension to hit the cluster's first key.

When my thumb is relaxed, it's actually sitting in the dead space.

The Diverge 3[0] and the Keyboard.io[1] bring that first/main thumb key ever so slightly closer (i.e. more underneath the "b" and "n").

The next one is the the ergodox's thumbs are stacked columnar. This isn't how the thumb naturally extends, which is an arc. So the Diverge 3 and Keyboard.io both mimic this.

For me, that was the deciding factor over the Ergodox.

This reddit post sums my main concerns[2]

Move it to 0%/200% by whatever means you'd like, then use keyboard increments to return it to 100%.
That's interesting because I would say the exact opposite.

What does your love life have to do with a Columbia degree?
Agree that a PhD shouldn’t be taken on lightly, however I think students should also leave if it’s not a good fit too. Years doing a PhD that they don’t like at near minimum wage can be a horrible experience.

Re: Silicon Valley wages. I can’t fault someone for leaving a PhD for a 10x (or more for ML/AI) salary increase. There’s a huge opportunity cost to doing a PhD for those with the right skills, and the various funding agencies need to provide much better salaries otherwise the brain drain into private industry is just going to continue. Also compounded by the number of permanent positions available in academia too.
> I have a good guess what’s going on: It’s proving really hard to make a CPU (or SoC) that’s perceptibly faster than the M1.

While I don't buy this at all, I don't even want a chip that is perceptibly faster than the M1. Instead give me other "pro" features like more than 2 USB ports, 32GB RAM, multiple external displays, external GPU support, boot camp, larger SSD capacity.

> The volume warning is required by EU regulations

But the regulations most certainly do not require the warning to pop up when the volume is still to quiet to hear that guy in the video talking, which is the actual complaint. If the warning actually appeared the moment when the volume is about to get really loud, it would be cool.

The underlying problem is, of course, that the volume control only slightly correlates with the actual volume that comes from the headphones.

The last time I used SQS it was kinda expensive because I had to poll every minute or so it ate up the free tier. If I wanted to poll faster (like every 5 seconds) it was even more expensive. Maybe not the best use for my use case.
As someone who spent half his life in the world of (physical) product design: to me this sounds incredibly contradictory.

A "strong product vision" is a bad thing when you are "iterating to find product market fit", because most people tend to be unable to kill their darlings and do what is needed to achieve said market fit.

If your "strong product vision" is really as strong as you believe, it should already contain an idea which market and target group is ideal — or if it is a really genius idea, this won't even be necessary because it will create it's own market.

No particular subdiscipline. I just now picked a random MIT EECS grad student who went to a state school of equivalent ranking to mine (rest went to top schools or MIT itself) - he had 2 first author and 1 book chapter as well as a workshop (also first author).

I do want to emphasize that the people that go from Undergrad to PHD at the same school does skew the profiles a bit, especially if they already researched with the same professor.
Unless their comment was edited, I'm not sure what part of it is you're accusing of being to be misinformation. It's pretty well-established that the US sent 3 planeloads of cash from Geneva to Iran (equivalent to about 1.7b USD in various European currencies)
Looks interesting, but can you only do very structured queries of JSON logs? We like to be able to do full text search on the whole log, i.e. find every log with a specific UUID in it, regardless of where in the log the UUID is.

Also, looks like no log aggregation? i.e. no SQL style queries on logs, that you can do in products like Sumo Logic.

GREAT pricing, but my first impression is that it’s lacking some key features we’re looking for. Seems like you guys are going for the low priced, bare bones solution, and it’s literally orders of magnitudes cheaper than a really feature rich solution like Sumo, but I think it’s too stripped down for us.

> The move, however, came with a 15% salary cut, she said. Then in late March, the team was told it would be a 25% cut.

Forcing a pay cut due to a business decision is rather wrong. I don't know US employment laws but that surely would have to be illegal.
It's not that out of the way. The previous place I worked, we had to help new hires get their editor set up, because most of them hadn't used Ruby/Rails before and didn't know what they'd need. We had an onboarding doc that helped you get started with Code + Solargraph, RubyMine or Sublime + Solargraph so they'd have features they'd have used in other languages. Apart from that, we'd also have to guide them through getting the editor set up to do things like format on save etc. to ensure the codebase was clean.
Also weird. What's the picture supposed to show; someone with two wads of chewing tobacco under their upper lip?

One of my ‘favorites’ is Tesla’s model 3 volume control.

One simple physical roller, what could go wrong?

Well, if you’re trying to turn down some music to hear a navigation prompt, it actually turns down the navigation volume instead. One can actually turn the navigation volume completely off without realizing it, and now not only is your music still loud, you’ll probably miss your next turn as well.
If they are analog headphones, why can't the audio output measure the resistance and adjust the output signal accordingly?
My company was a fairly early adopter of Teams. I remember there being a user feedback forum that was such an optimistic place.

Apple was also ballasted by iPhone sales during the lull in personal computing that took place about five years ago. Take a look at their income breakdown and you'll see what I mean. Intel bungled the transition to EUV but that isn't the only challenge they have had to surmount in the past decade.

Personally I don't see the Intel rut as particularly deep or mucky. Intel has good management, and Gelsinger has deep knowledge of how enterprise customers operate due to his experience. They have a road map for some exciting product releases in the next couple of years, and they dominate their game in terms of market share.

Intel made over $20B profit last year, and semiconductor demand is booming across the board, but they still get trashed by the masses. It's really interesting (if you're into stocks) to compare Intel’s P/E ratio against the rest of the sector. Even the market doesn't think particularly highly of them.

This is a line in the sand that the U.S. government should not allow to be crossed going forward. All U.S. citizens anywhere, and anyone on U.S. soil, should be protected. This is one of the very good reasons to have such powerful intelligence agencies and military forces, to literally safeguard freedom.

The U.S. is not a free country if its people have to live in fear of foreign dictators and theocrats. Had she been kidnapped or hurt, Biden would be right to respond with military force against everyone responsible.
