Funny story: the first person to perform "Sgt. Pepper" live was Jimi Hendrix. I read an interview with McCartney about this. The Beatles released the album on a Thursday, then had plans to see Hendrix the next Sunday. Hendrix got word they were coming, rehearsed like a madman, and opened his set with it.

Best source I can find: https://www.beatlesstory.com/blog/2017/05/07/jimi-hendrix-th...
1. I say so much exploratory shit on here, just to see where that line of thought goes. No effing way I'd want people to really know how stupid or childish I can be whilst trying different crazy thoughts or behaviors. I prefer freedom to explore ideas without consequences thank you! If that is anti-HN, then by all means, delete me and block my IP. I'll just go back to lurking.

2. I don't want my personal id'ing info ever floating around associated with lengthy diary. Seems like a gargantuan attack surface. Maybe I'm just paranoid.

EDIT: FYI: This is the ONLY social media website I post on. Period. Nothing else. No reddit. No linkedin. No FB. No tweeting. Nada.

EDIT#2: DanG's reply messages directly to me have really changed my dynamic, I've become slightly less hot-headed and come to see why HN is a great place. No other social media site "taught me" this, even from a guy who spent plenty of time on CompuServe and usenet.
They announce the challenge starting today and it ends 6 days from now? I feel like that will really limit the entries.
His understanding of humans is just uncanny.
Fair points. Much better sunsetting here than what most companies do. The network shutdown is out of Amazon's control, and the offers are generous.
I've been using Sorbet on a personal project (https://github.com/connorshea/vglist) for almost two years now, and it's been great (although I've had to build myself a lot of tooling for it over time).

I don't think I'll use the compiler (for now, at least), but I'm very interested in seeing how it grows over time :)
If close to 100% of the attendees were vaccinated, the only possible infections will be among the vaccinated.
And factors that incentivize people to buy houses with rooms they won't live in! I.e. owner-occupiers. I'm trying to say that these people are a major cause of high prices but they're the "us" and the "goodies" and even the "victims" so it's not popular to blame them. Instead, the popular opinion is to blame some outgroup like foreigners, nebulous "rich" people, "evil" investors, etc.

One way for it to stop is for owner-occupiers to stop fetishizing a single family home on a 1/4 acre section and tolerate living in a high density apartment like most people in big cities everywhere else in the world.
No, developers don't read compiler error messages, unless absolutely necessary. The economics doesn't work out: the compiler creates hundreds of error messages in a few milliseconds, whereas developers only have a very limited budget of attention.

What developers do is to check where the errors show up, usually just the first error, and use pattern recognition techniques, aka 'experience', to fix the error in its context. Only if the fast track error recovery process fails, repeatedly, do developers spend minutes to carefully read the compiler error messages and deeply make sense of it.

This matches the article thesis: the 'better' compiler messages are, the more likely is that pattern recognition techniques can use the error message as part of the fast track error fixing process.
This is addressed in the book; a new sophon is cheaper than a new particle accelerator.
Yep, that's because they didn't use a blockchain. That would have solved everything.

The ability to sue is not the same as suing. Simply the threat of a lawsuit is enough to discourage some transactions. That's the point.

In my case, I used a hybrid approach: I studied the law, drew up a response, and then hired a lawyer at $900/hour (as he was a law professor) to put out a response though his firm. By understanding the basics, I could hypothesize a response, on my own time, and then verify that hypothesis with an expert.

[update]

Actually, I just re-read my above post, and didn't make the point very well. Thanks for pointing that out.
You appear to be a little confused about the terminology. Most of us will eventually get exposed to SARS-CoV-2 (the virus). Only a subset of those will get COVID-19 (the disease). The available vaccines greatly improve your odds of avoiding COVID-19 even if you do get infected.
But is there any evidence that this matters or has a noticeable impact?

I also imagine that the vaccine simulates a much higher viral load than a mild case.
That reason sounds pretty straightforward. Where’s the ambiguity in it?
Remember when there was a unionization vote at a Volkswagon plant in Tennessee, and VW was like, "please vote yes, we like working with unions and believe it'll make everybody's lives easier". But state and national politicians, not to mention outside lobbyists, created a huge campaign to oppose the vote? And then the "no" campaign succeeded.

You can't make this stuff up. But it drives home the reality that anti-union sentiment is strong in the U.S.; and deep. Most non-skilled workers in this country are very skeptical of unions, if not outright cynical. And it's always been this way, going back to the 19th century.

IIRC, there was a second vote at that same plant a little later. That time VW HQ just kept their mouth shut. And they loosened the leash on their American managers, who mostly opposed unionization. Obviously it failed again.
It’s opt-in though?

You install it into your repository, and it gets vendored.

The yarn 1 binary on your machine will use yarn 2/3 if it’s in the repo, otherwise it will just run yarn 1 as normal.

I actually wonder how many people might be employed by FAANG companies on high salaries just to deny their competitor from getting access to that person's skills. If I am Google, it is in my best interest to hire as many skilled people in AI for example to deny Facebook from accessing those skills.

But yes, I can see what you are saying that employers drive the demand which puts the value on developers. Kind of like my wife and multiple other people in the world putting a price on a LV handbag, without the demand the LV is probably not worth more than a few hundred dollars.
Was it because of the Sign in with Apple button color?

Always make sure that people can instantly identify your custom button as a Sign in with Apple button. If your custom button differs too much from the standard one, people may not feel comfortable using it to set up an account or sign in. App Review evaluates all custom Sign in with Apple buttons.

The IBM AT didn't come with an operating system with a lightweight premptive multitasking kernel capable of being used for real time applications.

I learned quite a bit about operating systems by disassembling the Amiga exec and other libraries with a debugger. The code was elegant and efficient, modular and well thought out. Putting the core of the operating system in ROM was a good idea for the time as it freed up most of the RAM in the system for application use - an important design choice when machines were only shipping with 512KB to 1MB of RAM.
My first interaction with Amazon was as the storefront for Borders Books online (since out of business). Interesting case of EEE.
I have ADHD. It basically means I can't sustain effort towards a goal. During high school and college I had a lot of supervision and oversight. Without teachers and supervisors constantly nudging me in the right direction everyday I'm useless. Multiple failed jobs, startups, freelancing. Everything is ok for the first few weeks but when the novelty wears off it's impossible to maintain interest. No interest means no concentration. I know exactly what I need to do and I cannot do it.

The other side of ADHD is emotional disregulation. I always assumed I was experiencing normal emotions, maybe slightly on the sensitive side. Turns out these feelings are not normal. A minor criticism/correction at work can have me in tears for days. A friend makes a friendly comment about something I did and I'm holding back tears making plans to get out of the situation. Someone says something vaguely patronising and I'm already boiling over.

I've tried drugs. I've tried exercise. I've tried supplements. I've read various books on the topic. Nothing helps.

Things didn't seem so bad in my 20's. I figured I would just grow out of it or I was struggling to find the right job. Now I realize the problem is me. Into my 30's now. The practical problems are life are really starting to worry me. How will I ever have a family? How will I ever buy a house? Retirement? That's impossible.

Ambiguity. 95% of the cases you forgot the semicolon, the other 5% you forgot something else.
Very much so - the sounds aren't new but the mix is. Giles mixed in a lot more of what was present to try and capture the original intention of that section.

He discusses it in a release interview somewhere.
The article has been deleted. But it wasn't "here's some generic tips on how to figure things out", it was more along the lines of "take the second character of the first word of each of the first four lines, and then the last word on each line will tell you a Google search - first result will have an article author, take that author's family name".

It wasn't general "how to figure things out", but more "if I write these three riddles I'm not specifically saying person A and person B's names, and therefore I'm not in contempt".

The court took a dim view of that.
Where's the part when she gets a new face? Not only is she very well known to the general public, you may have heard of some amazing new technology called "facial recognition".
I sometimes also think of the "third world gaze" that confronts me whenever I visit the less-developed parts of the earth. It's as though I walk around with dollar signs on me. I shouldn't have to fear for my safety like that. Their behavior has to change.
I thought that might be the case but it doesn't seem so different from the version on the HIG[0] or the sample project[1]. I ended up replying something like "it's there, please look again. It's the first one." And it hasn't come up since then. But I've only submitted one build. Will see when I submit the next.

Connection establishment in bittorrent might be marginally higher overhead than HTTP, but not by much and the cost is highly amortized if you're doing many range requests in the same torrent. There is indeed more overhead from HAVE messages and such, but that's just because bittorrent is doing a lot more than HTTP to enable P2P. It's still not that bad as a percentage of the payload traffic.
If only the OP had provided a picture of their login screen, so that we could evaluate whether they're missing a "login with Apple" button and Apple is making a reasonable request, or whether such a button already exists and the OP is caught in a byzantine maze of confusing and contradictory instructions that they will only be able to escape through a combination of perseverance and blind luck.

"So at least in the case of this one company, it seems they are selecting not only for neurodivergence, but also for prior inability to get/hold down a job."

Yeah, that can make sense. My company doesn't really hire contractors into employees. They used to, but now they switched the policy.

Basically, I hope our company is doing it for the right reason, but I doubt it based on the trajectory the company has been on lately. It seems in our case it's likely just PR. The company is finance related and I have only noticed a few neurodiverse individuals, and they are usually lower level and aren't promoted. I have heard that finance in general likes specific types to be quants, although I can't say how true that is.
I'm unaware of any jurisdiction outside of the EU (as "Western" as you can get) that has right to be forgotten. Are there any?
I want to quickly emphasize that they are data driven enough to understand that lots of people buy those books because about 51-54% of the country doesn’t and never did like him.

Well, yes, you need to check return codes. I file that under "trivial"; it's true of almost every function.

Reducing jobs reduces overall political support, which makes it more attractive for politicians and regulators to pass new laws or more aggressively pursue existing ones. Amazon could get hit with antitrust or some other new legal theory that develops.
That's what I did, and fortunately it's not come up again—yet. But it was a trip to experience first hand, and on my very first submission ever (!), what I'd been reading on this forum and others for years.

Precisely. I'd be very happy to have a ProDisplay. I may even buy it for the aesthetics (well, above and beyond everything else - I'm also a professional photographer). But as you say, it's more the attitude. I'm guessing whatever proprietary stuff they've done to drive the XDR at 6K in HDR isn't compatible with DSC, and there's little interest in fixing it.
Curious if there’s anything public about improving ruby performance from the I/O angle mentioned in the post.

Also interesting to see Mypyc, Pyre related AOT compiler (forget the name), and now this.

Great to see! We’d gladly compile our code in CI if it meant better perf (already do for the UI stuff)

My sense is that authors mostly make less money than they did 25 years ago, but only because there's so many more of them. And authors mostly didn't make much money to begin with.

As I was writing my first comment I kept thinking about how Walden and Borders are gone, but Half-Price Books seems to be doing well. I think a used book store is probably net better for an area than a Borders

The issue with career advice in general, and it’s such an issue for 80,000 Hours, is how insanely context-relative it is. Not just from person to person, but even within a person’s life.
For what it's worth, I must stress that they sent me that screenshot.

> escape through a combination of perseverance and blind luck.

It's funny you say that, because you know what I did finally provide? A bunch of 15-30 second videos demonstrating the salient features (sign in with apple, user safety features, how to get to terms of service and privacy statement, etc) that Apple wants to know about. After that the back-and-forth ended and my app got approved. But that may have just been a coincidence.
There's a bug when the target article is titled the same as the disambiguation page. Search for "Earthbound", and try clicking on the article for the video game. It'll bring you right back to the disambiguation page.
They stayed on Google Maps for 4~5 years until the writing was on the wall that it wouldn’t help them in the future (android being the elephant in the room). They still happily relied on whoever service they could rely on. Do you remember the facebook and twitter accounts setup directly in the system preferences ? Or right now they’re still sending data to Weatherchannel, until they complete Dark Sky’s integration I assume.

Service providers where mostly in the deal to get user data, and Apple’s push on privacy only started well into Cook’s tenure.

But you have trust in them in their current business position (it only was “the early days”). By that token I don’t think it’s unrealistic to assume at some point you’ll find other companies that are either new or show they changed enough to get your trust.
Maybe the wages themselves should be the crime.

You can chat all you want with your friends over coffee about stealing stuff and although it's psychologically messed up, there's nothing legally wrong about that. It's when you actually steal that you've committed a crime. Same thing.
They usually point that out specifically though. Although maybe they proved their point with their review staff.

EDIT: The hackaday page (https://hackaday.io/project/164092-npr-new-packet-radio) is talking about 10{,0}Mbit as of 2020:

> Important firmware update about Ethenet mode configuration 10Mb/s or 100Mb/s, half or full duplex; it can solve a recurrent problem of packet loss and low datarate. Refer to the new version of the "advanced user guide". Many thanks to Kevin M0AHN who discovered the origin of the problem.

I wonder if it's possible to get that kind of bandwidth...

EDIT2: Apparently you can get up to 500kbps outside of the US (https://elekitsorparts.com/product/npr-70-modem-by-f4hdk-new...) but within the US, due to regulations, you can only get 65kbps:

> Note for USA : Due to CFR 47 Part 97.3 FCC regulations, for the 70cm amateur radio band (restriction to 100kHz and 56kBaud), only the setting “modulation 20” of NPR-70 seems to be legal in USA. Please always check your local amateur-radio regulation before buying and using NPR70.
Modulation 20: Symbol Rate 50kS/s, bandwidth 100kHz, raw datarate 100kb/s raw, usable datarate 65kb/s.

Still, you can do a lot with 65kb/s. Hmm.

Of course, in the US, you probably have cell service. Neat hack though.
I'll chime in that I've been using 64-bit raspberry pi OS for at least 8 months now and I haven't had any issues with it, other than a small snafu when I first tried to get Wireguard up and running but some of the base packages didn't yet support 64-bit OSes (I think?). That issue has since been fixed, I can happily report.
