Tiktok does many things well but making videos easy to find is not one of them. It’s a miracle for discovery of new content, but a menace for ever being able to find it again. Video search is hard, but they really aren’t trying- they would rather you have to hit the like button on every video you might want to see again. The problem is that the likes list is also not searchable or filterable. The only way I was able to find a video I really wanted to share with somebody was to request a data export, wait 2-3 days, then run through a long CSV of my whole watch history to locate it. It’s pretty clear that they transcribe all of the content for internal use only-moderation and analytics at least; I wish they could use that for search as well.
There are loads of things I _want_ to get done that have subtasks that I _have_ to get done. In fact, I'd say all my "have to" to-dos are in service of a want. I _want_ to be healthy and live long, so I _have_ to exercise. I don't want to exercise :P I want feature so-and-so, so I have to implement it. Implementing something is sometimes annoying, but I want it to exist.
I travel a lot and have a Hertz corporate account. The prices have definitely shot up so much the boss is considering requiring us to use Lyft when possible. That might be OK for one of my colleagues in the city, a lot of my traveling requires a car to drive to a remote office park.
Please remember to have proper posture. Six figures for a few years isn't worth irreversible damage to your neck/back.
Absolutely not. How can the US nationalize a global, decentralized network?
I think this doesn't work for javascript because it actually matters when you await. It has implications for the UI. It also has implications about object life times.

Of course, the same problem can happen in Go if you use it to make a GUI application, but Go is built entirely around the concept of goroutines so it has obvious ways to handle the problem. Javascript does not. `await` as an explicit suspension point is a pretty good way to handle the problem.

I view being "annoyed" at having to be explicit about control flow to be not a real problem. By that I mean, whatever "solution" you come up with is likely to bring with it its own set of problems that no one wants to deal with. And for what price? Because you are "annoyed" at having to type "await"?
It’s just a few paragraphs down in the article:

“ 13-year-old Ian was directed by older juveniles to commit a robbery.

During the botched robbery attempt, a woman suffered a nonfatal gunshot wound. Ian turned himself in to the police and was charged as an adult with armed robbery and attempted murder.”
How about which jail cell you are placed in if arrested?
> would it ever make sense to configure the application to use a different (or even just remote) database?

Emh, don’t we always end up like this? As in, the database stays up while restarting the app; The DB is restarted when upgrading versions; and when we start 10 front-end nodes while keeping one DB only. All if this because they have different lifecycles: DB data is permanent, webserver data is ephemeral.
You mean transferring taxpayer-funded research and patents to corporations?
An alternative explanation would be: people have individual preferences, and value is a subjective concept.
Maybe they used gevent which "magically" makes things async without the keywords.
Vaporwave is well alive in 2022 and is actually gaining and transfusing its aesthetic essence in today’s Pop and EDM
Oh my god. So wrong, such confidence.

The link should be here, if Google was working:

solow hft retail site:krugman.blogs.nytimes.com

At the moment Google is acting as if Krugman never mentioned HFT or retail.

Adding to the problem, the New York Times is giving 503 errors over most of Krugman’s old weblog, so perhaps the Times has given up on maintaining the old blog.

Am I allowed to make the joke that Solow’s Productivity Paradox is mostly explained by rampant link rot? But I’m only half kidding, because the rapid way technology breaks down is an obvious hindrance to productivity.
If you have better data I'm happy to look at that. I agree that cohabiting are likely more common now and it is possibly more common to get married just after birth than it used to be.

Table CH-1 from this census website shows that children living with a single parent goes from 10% in 1960 to 36% in 2020. (=E13/C13) I'm not certain but I think they are accounting for cohabiting parents here because they don't use any language related to marriage and the census could tell if the parents were cohabiting or not.

> Looks like you're the prototype of the spoiled brat that populates the male part of the tech industry.

If you claim it to be true, it must be. There's no possible way your world view could be wrong.

> You think when you're able to solve a technical problem, you're able to solve every problem.

Are there any other thoughts you can tell me I hold? There's no need for me to actually express an opinion given you already know how I think.

> That's the common combination of arrogance & ignorance so many other dudes are sporting.

Arrogance would perhaps be assuming you can determine who I am by hearing just one opinion I hold. As somebody once said: 'It got boring long ago.'
A guy wants to know what TikTok is. Instead of installing and using the app, he buy a book about it. I find it quite funny.
Interesting to see this exists, I wrote a similar thing for myself which acts like a personal diary. As well as helping with reflection, it's really useful come performance review time. Answering "what did I do this past (year/X months)" becomes just reading the entries you've logged.

Much easier than reading git history, and trying to remember other items that aren't in source control.
Isn't this a normal salary for highly skilled software engineers in the US?

I think it can potentially be problematic if someone changes gender to win an Olympic medal.

The rest of your essay I do not agree with though.

In general, just call people what they want to be called and let them use whatever bathroom that is most convenient for them. It's not that hard.

There is very little evidence of transgender people using this to molest others. The fact is that they are the group that receive a lot of hate and struggle a lot, so be nice instead of moralistic.

Oh nice to see this here! I’m the author of this little amalgamation, happy to answer any questions :-)

I just love small (for certain definitions of small) C libraries and got hooked to QuickJS the moment I tried it. After a few weekends of tinkering I had “quv” which was just QuickJS running on the libuv event loop. Later on I integrated curl and implemented xmlhttprequest on top of it. The last large change I made was to embed wasm3 as the WASM / WASI runtime.

I haven’t had the time to continue working on it for a while, seeing this here might be the encouragement I needed! :-)
I was thinking about it, like why there are separate competitions in chess or cybersport or like you said shooting. Can't say for sure, but probably it is because tournament is a tip of the iceberg of what contenders are actually competing in.

For non physically demanding sports most of the work is in training prior to this competition: being able to find good coach, stick to regime, balance life vs sport, emotional control, managing finances and sponsorships, chances of getting into the sport in the first place etc. These aspects are quite different for men and women, so they naturally have separated tournaments.
Firefox kinda pissed me off. They silently removed the network.trr.bootstrapAddress option, which allowed your browser to not get it's DNS queries hijacked and always use DoH. The workaround now is to... add an entry in your hosts file for the DNS server. I know it's a small thing, but why did they remove such a useful feature? I literally couldn't find any info on it other than this one reddit post.

If we designed a new async language today, would it include async/await keywords? I think they don't add anything conceptually and it's just a patch for languages that didn't design for async from the start. Am I missing something?
Mr. Manuel shot a woman. I approve of his punishment.
>revolving door between industry and regulatory agencies

There are specific laws restricting/regulating people who go from government to industry, intended to address conflicts of interest.

You are repeating a cliche that wrongly makes it sound like nobody ever thought of the issue.

The problem with casual cynicism based on ignorance is that it allows you to fall right into the trap of trusting corrupt people who say everybody else is the same.
Hello, time traveller! Have we beaten COVID in 2022?
Big win.

The less data collected on IDs the better.

Take for example the state of lebanon today. You can draw a straight line from data on IDs, to the collapse of government of 2021.

The lebanese govt was collecting religion data in their IDs back in the 20th century.

On the run up to the 1970s civil war and during the war , people were stopped, harrassed and later murdered based on their stated religion.

After the civil war concluded this was taken off official documentation but the damage was already done: sectarianism had taken root in society and laws passed designating that the PM must be from X sect, the president from Y sect, etc.

This took cronysm and sale of offices to new heights, culminating with the bloodsucking of the state via revolving door between the major sects that had granted themselves permanent state powers.

Now the country is bankrupt, with massive brain drain, and sectarian strife.

The less groups the govt can create, the healthier we are as a a society
Adding arbitrary concurrency when exclusive execution was previously guaranteed will certainly break the language.
I disagree. Both Starcraft and Diablo I had good writing.

For me the decline came with Warcraft 3. Both the visuals and story of this game were shit.

And after that WoW became juggernaut and for some reason Blizzard decided that only pre teen david Eddings fans are their audience and never bothered to check the real demographics afterwards. Such a juvenile writing could only be achieved deliberately.
Status bar nowadays usually refers to the information usually showing the URL you are hovering.

Do you have any references to the old-school status bars and what they used to contain?

A powerful, influential cult is rising to prominence in the west, and our institutions are being corrupted by its bizarre tenets. Simple as that.
It's easy if you question all of the presuppositions in that question. Did anyone really try to conquer Afghanistan? What does it even mean to "conquer" the frontier? Do we consider the Australian outback the "graveyard of empires" too?
Maybe they should first ban corrective surgery on intersex individuals or at least accept the intersex condition as normal, not an illness that needs to be cured, at least not until the person involved has come to an age of reason where they can decide themselves. Note that some forms of intersexuality only appear during puperty.

The article was little more than finding the Japanese term for it and selling it as some ground-breaking concept.

I assume you are aware modern games are tracking everything players do. The have heatmaps and everything. It's been going on for quite a while
I hate to tell you, but there is not, and never will be a cure for cancer. Every cancer is unique. The best we can hope for in a realistic time frame is a set of drugs that cover a significant portion of the lineage dependencies corresponding to a majority of the the most common cancers. Ideally, we will be able to drug/ligand every human protein, but we're still a long way off.

Furthermore, science isn't necessarily a tractable problem that scales linearly with the amount of manpower thrown at it - many of our greatest discoveries have happened serendipitously.
Continued violation would lead to repeated (and possibly escalating) fines. This one was nowhere near 4% of revenues that is the upper limit, and specially for a company like Amazon 4% of revenues would be incredibly high.
You are not the only one. I opened the HN home page two or three times before I clicked on this comment thread, and each time I thought "huh? we had vaporware way before the internet."

> "Vaporware" was coined by a Microsoft engineer in 1982 to describe the company's Xenix operating system and first appeared in print in a newsletter by entrepreneur Esther Dyson in 1983.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vaporware

It also reminded me that a few days ago I read about some new ThinkPads that use vapor chambers instead of heat pipes. That sounds like it will be much more healthy for these high performance computers.
Just let people provide a key => value map and let them write whatever they want to make themselves feel comfortable: man, woman, him, her, they, black, white, #555555, gay, straight, it's complicated.... Etc
Also not from the US, but I think read about him many many years ago in Reader's Digest. It was a long form that had a lot more information. I recognized the story because of this anecdote:

"I passed my blue book out the window to him and he answered the questions for me."

But the Reader's Digest version mentioned that he was dyslexic (which I don't think the BBC article mentions) and that he taught almost exclusively using audio/visual presentations, activity based learning and guest speakers.
I did miss that, although I see they hid it deep in the third paragraph. What a bafflingly stupid plan then.

If they expect this to be fluid over someone's life, the government doesn't need to collect stats at birth.

Why is this article on the second page and not on the first? Continued anti-competitive behavior from some chrome fanboys?

As much as I don't like Mozilla's company direction (pocket, VPN etc.) Firefox is a symbol for the free web for me. I recommend it over any other big browser (edge, chrome, safari).
Yes, modern SSH is a challenge even on the fastest 486-class machines, which are very roughly comparable to this 68030. Takes several seconds to complete a connection.
I've never once been able to detect these dots on any scanned document.
I stopped using it for a simple reason: it bogs down my laptop. I don’t care why, so save your long winded explanations, it just does. And it’s a shame, because hey Mozilla, I like Firefox better than any other browser when it’s not slowing down my machine.
And yet all of them force you to keep your eyes on the road at all times or you can die. Can you honestly call that FSD?
"th" isn't really used in Finnish (at least in modern kirjakieli). Even loan words just drop the "h" (e.g. "termostaatti"). There probably are some exceptions, but none that I can think of right now.
No, because you'd end up with 93.75%. You need to scale 80% to reverse 125%
I thought the US has something called voting registration and it's public. How does that ensure anonymity?
This is basically the innovator's dilemma.

A large market position (not really anything related to monopoly power per se) leads companies to be very risk-averse since they can always make better gains in the short-term by incremental improvements rather than radical changes. Right up until someone disrupts the market and crushes them.
Most of the languages ideas I have aren't focused around syntax these days, rather about automating some tedious part of programming. Two that have stuck with me for a few years now:

1.) A language for plumbing. Basically, this is a mini-language for defining data structures and how they're shipped around different devices and processed. Think of protobufs or Apache Avro, but also including functionality like conditionals & flow control, rich collection operations like map/filter/fold, account & device management libraries, and most importantly, an Actor-based syntax (somewhat like Erlang) where entities like "The user's iPhone" or "The user's smartwatch" or "the database" just exist like process handles, and you can send messages to and from any of them. It'd then compile down into idiomatic Swift/Kotlin/Java/C/SQL to run on appropriate machine, so that your UI code just includes a library and you don't need to rewrite all your data plumbing, serialization, and business logic for each client platform.

2.) A language where you literally can use machine learning like if-statements. Basically it'd have functionality to dump out a feature vector (an array-of-structs), visualize it in a Jupiter notebook, label it (or send it off to Mechanical Turk for labeling), and then feed the labeled data back into any of multiple classifier types for use in an if-statement. Once trained, the model and training data would be checked in as if they were source code, and could be attached to code and versioned the same way that an algorithm would be. You'd run your program in two modes: in training mode, the program executes as much of the code path it can until it gets to an untrained classifier, then dumps out the data for that and starts the labeling/training process to generate the trained model. In execution mode, it uses the generated models to actually make flow-control decisions.

Doubtful I'll ever have time to implement either one of these, but at least at the moment, they're somewhat timely and don't have convenient solutions. I think syntax is basically a solved problem, and don't really care about it.

I'm definitely in love with ItaloDisco. I watched it from its humble start, to this day. The emphasis has always been on quality

Italo house [1989-1993] + Eurobeat[British, Italian] + J-Euro + Classic Italodance (1992-1998) + Hyper-Techno

are derivatives of huge importance in the history of EDM and worth to listen filirting many times with their origins.

Catch: I consider Spacesynth to be ItaloDisco and the 1988-1993 Italo-energy movement to also be ItaloDisco

It is not only underrated. It is the King of the Dance Floor since 1978 with disco being the Queen.

Also it is the behind all the music revolutions since then in Europe.

And definitely is behind modern SynthWave and Vaporwave.
Not the parent, but I have a thought on this. While workers would be able to prioritize things other than profit, I don't think they would. From an economics analysis, we're really just redefining profit as benefits to all corporation members instead of to the owners. Imagine a middle manager has to choose between hiring a factory that is cheap but has a bad rights/ecological/legal record and a factory that will be more expensive, but is proverbially clean . At a top owned corporation they have no personal incentive to maximize profits, but if they own part of the company, their own compensation will increase if they take the less ethical option.

Note: I generally think a distributed ownership model for a company leads to better health and production in the long run, but this is probably a case where it's worse. When incentives are distributed, and those incentives are perverse, you just have everyone bearing the pressure to enact unethical business prectices.
Single ropes are plenty safe these days. But I guess I climb half ropes when trad climbing usually because pulling a single ends up being a drag.
How does TikTok's recommendation algorithm work?

It's the best I have ever tried. I have never found so many people with interesting hobbies on any other platform. TikTok actually learns from when I click "Not interested" unlike Instagram Reels that seem to ignore the "Not interested" button.
I mean, it's not entirely wrong. It's just missing the additional context of what else it's on a play on words of.

OPN/Daniel Lopatin did refer to his early pre-Eccojams creations as "echo jams":

>"I do these "echo jam" videos where I just loop stuff like a phrase from a pop song and repurpose it and put echo on it. It's like really Neanderthal sampling. Not flashy."

In 2009 and 2010, he posted the echo jams on his YouTube channel sunsetcorp: https://www.youtube.com/c/sunsetcorp/videos. (All excellent and still worth watching/listening to today. Some landed on Eccojams, but some didn't. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FuCloea96Mg is my favorite; be sure to listen start to finish.)

Later in 2010, he compiled these tracks and others into Eccojams, which references both "echo jams" and the 1992 Sega game Ecco the Dolphin, which is what the cover art is derived from.
Well they are doing it as signaling, not necessarily for good.

I believe these dots are only printed by color printers, ostensibly to help catch currency counterfeiters. So the simplest countermeasure is use monochrome printers for daily stuff and for anything sensitive. I guess sometimes you'll NEED color, but very often you can probably do without it.
