I can’t imagine having meetings feeling I have a scuba helmet on.

Like someone pointed out, it’s pretty obvious they never used it themselves. Or, if they did, they are lying to the product managers and telling them it’s awesome.

Because I would never even think of releasing something like this as an actual product. Not even a preview.
You can definitely learn to draw, if you want. It just takes practice. I used to think I couldn't draw, but after taking a painting class, I learned that it's much more technique (and less intuition) than you might think.

This makes me curious about sign language recognition.

I"m definitely willing to learn a sign keyboard if it means not typing with arrows. If it also knows a full vocabulary...
Probably thinking of 'voitures sans permis', really small cars that can be driven in France by people without drivers licenses.

Obviously most people can’t do this but a family member was recently approached by the dealer who sold him his most recent work truck. He’s driven like 30k miles on it in the past 2 years and it was a $75k Chevy diesel. Dealer offered him $90k to buy it back from him (to sell to someone else) and my family member said “Sure”. So he made $15k on an asset that should have lost 1/2 its value by now. Obviously rare and hard to take advantage of but some people are absolutely capitalizing on the weirdness.
It's impressive how hard you're missing the point of the project.
>Even here on HN, abysmal layout and lack of features but successful forum.

Strong disagree. HN layout is not abysmal but optimised for simplicity above anything. It's not looking for attention, so i think it's very good at what it does.
I love playing Factorio, but it's moments like above when it starts to stop feeling like a game and it starts to feel like refactoring code at work.
CNC (and mfg in general) will have different tolerance needs. And the flex on this machine will depend on the material and work speed.

I'd probably argue that anything worse than 0.5mm (~20 thou) will start giving you headaches if your making parts that are supposed to interact with each other. That said, if you're making basically oneoffs and are willing to handfit, that tolerance is probably tolerable (ha!).
How does a non living thing “do” anything without an internal energy source? How does it “use” a host?
This is awesome, I am very excited for vr for work purposes. Glad to see they are making progress on the software side.

I have been tentatively thinking that once resolution is high enough to really do work (probably Quest 3 will be there), buying a headset for our full remote team.

Great work by the Oculus team working on this, for me the most important VR feature to figure out.
JIT is probably the most mis-understood supply chain concept.
> Frankly I'm amazed that there are people who don't see their job as their primary source of misery.

Wow, what a gloomy outlook. Have you really never, ever enjoyed your work or workplace? Your coworkers?

I certainly haven’t enjoyed every job or workplace, but I have a lot of fond memories of many workplaces and teams. I’ve had a lot of fun throughout my career and made some lasting friendships.

I suppose I’m in the opposite mindset: I’m amazed that there are people (in tech) who haven’t ever been able to find enjoyment in their work. We literally grew up to get paid to play on computers all day. There are plenty of opportunities out there to have a good time in this field, but they won’t necessarily fall into your lap.
Rents are going through the roof, too.
> This so-called “transitory inflation” is really starting to seem like it will parlay into full blown inflation.

A lot of the people screaming about inflation were doing so using the argument that there's too much spending and the "excess" money supply will cause the US to turn into Zimbabwe (Fed printers go brrrrrr): demand-pull inflation.

The price fluctuations caused pandemic-related supply issues (cost-push inflation) don't have much to do with money supply and stimulus packages.

* https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inflation#Keynesian_view

If things get too hot, it's easy enough for interest rates to be pulled up, but given un/employment isn't at pre-pandemic levels, policy makers may let things ride for a while.
I was thinking it's a lot like AutoCAD.
I did, but even that was a bit too much when I don't really need to be K8s-compatible. Harbormaster doesn't run any extra daemons at all, so that was a better fit for what I wanted to do (I also want to run stuff on Raspberry Pis and other computers with low resources).
Ask HN: How important it is to have certificates? For example AWS, Azure, etc.?
Sorry, maybe I rage-read-into GP's comment too much. I interpreted it as "this is a garbage format, here's a paragraph that would've sufficed".

What I'm arguing is that adding pictures/memes/space/cadence to information can be helpful to readers who aren't familiar with the subject area. Twitter makes that easy, and also has a broad reach.
Alternatively, maybe it would help to have an "absurdly" in depth discussion, disassembling the phenomenon into tiny pieces that are seen differently by different people, and discuss why people see them differently, etc. And perhaps by doing a deep dive on this one subject, perhaps we'd learn something generic about ourselves that would be transferable to other subjects, similar to cross domain communication in science and engineering.

It seems to me that we use a very different thinking style in anything involving the humanities than we do with materialistic & deterministic domains, where our approaches have proven themselves so successful.
Okay, can somebody explain?

You also have to realize that the Kardashev scale [0] is something invented by someone in 1964. It's more a science fiction idea than some law of nature. We can't take for granted that this is some natural progression for every technological civilization.

> it just makes sense to only needing to build the facilities to collect the power from existing sources (stars, black holes) without the logistics of transporting the fuel.

Yeah OK, but then you have to transport your entire reactor to the fuel. For that matter, you also have to transport the energy where it's needed once you've harnessed it.

That sounds like a really great way to create bugs and hide the cause from the programmer. Why does anyone think this is a good idea? I'm not asking rhetorically, clearly people do think this is a good idea, I just can't fathom why.
I don't even know if you can buy new off-road toys that don't have chips - four wheelers, side-by-sides, snowmobiles and the like. Pretty sure they all use electronic fuel injection these days, and that requires at least one chip.
You should be upvoted 100 points. That's the elephant in the room. Basically selfish behavior lead to global problem. So no, we can't let big corps rule the world alone.
If anyone has experience with growth shares in the US, would love to hear about it. It's a UK construct to allow for participation in gains above a hurdle value, often set near the current valuation. Similar to options but doesn't require the cash outlay and should (in theory) be an attractive tax construct.

All good points. The original article has a few things that are oversimplified I think, which is why I criticize it a bit. For example, if you go from a country in the EU to San Francisco, you're going to earn way more but spend way more too. But if you plan on going back to the EU when you retire, this won't matter much because your living expenses will drop.

I don't know how hard is doubling your income in general, but I don't know if it's always harder than dividing by two your expenses. The thing is that by focusing on earning more, you will end up with more money, and at that point you can always cut back expenses. While if you focus on cutting back expenses, you will end up with less money.
Fair enough - doesn’t sound like you were ever the target audience for a commuter bike to begin with.

It's a bit too easy to blame this only on Wall Street. First of all companies have outsourced their production facilities to lower production costs. The parties benefiting from this were:

- shareholders (more profit)

- consumers (lower prices)

Second, you could say shareholders == Wall Street, but you could just as well say that shareholders are pension holders, banks, insurances and small private investors. All of these simply want to have return on their investment that is as high as possible. If that's good or bad is an interesting question, but the bottom line is that very few people are without blame here.
I think that's true. What most of us care about in cars is that they work when we want to drive them someplace right now, won't leave us stuck on the side of the road, and don't have prohibitive (time or money) planned maintenance.

What's probably true is that older cars that aren't rusted out can probably be kept running by people with the appropriate mechanical skills even in the absence of proper factory/3rd party parts for longer than modern vehicles can. Given intact supply chains, modern vehicles are more available overall. But, to the point of the article, modern vehicles are more susceptible to lack of parts.

Yeah that's the thing, I don't get paid to play on computers. I'd take such a role in minute, but there's a line of much smarter people than me there.

Rick and Morty and the Meaning of Life by Daniel Jeffries

https://hackernoon.com/rick-and-morty-and-the-meaning-of-lif...

A blog about meaning of life and its purpose using clips from popular shows and movies. I have re-read this piece several times and I come out with something new at the end of each read.
Only if you let greediness exist.
There's huge inflation in many things related to making cars (chips, steel, shipping costs as many cars are still being shipped across the ocean, labor costs, etc.). We are likely to be in the very beginning of significant inflation cycle, with probably double digit inflation which will eventually drop to 4-4.5%. I wouldn't expect to prices to drop any time soon, nor have 2% inflation. My bet is that fewer and fewer new cars will be sold in the next few years (3-5) with prices rising 4-10% each year.
> Or was that not the implication of your comparison?

The implication of my post is Toyota operates on a different scale than Tesla, and due to insufficient time having passed since the advent of Tesla, a claim cannot yet be made. I referenced Toyota because of its objectively highly ranked reliability based on resale price and famously low maintenance costs.
I think those of us with leisure time or "bullshit" work struggle with these questions, but I find that the consumption/creation dichotomy is the wrong approach. Arguably almost everything is consumptive in some capacity, from creating art (which is indulgent and pleasurable) to unnecessary programs (they're all unnecessary) or any other passtime. I would further reduce the problem to one of stimulus and desire. Execution and completion of tasks is in itself cognitively satisfying, that's in part why smartphone games can be so addictive, you can "fake" the experience in rapid fashion. The mechanism behind the dopamine release etc doesn't care about the context behind it, that is an existential problem. We like the flow experience. That can be "deep" work, or not.

The question of meaning behind our actions is one divorced from this, and obviously not so easily determined as whether or not an action is creative. Some of the most effective altruistic actions are boring. I'm of the type that has short bouts of investigative interest in certain topics, and that wanes, so I can't count on merely my "mood" to finish projects. I had read anecdotally that authors in particular seem to derive satisfaction from having completed a work, and find that driving themselves to finish it can be torturous. I feel that way about my projects.

Personally, it's a good day if I've "executed" and completed a lot at work. There is no objective reason why this ought to be better than those days where I struggle to finish a single assignment, but that is human nature. You can satisfy such a creature with social validation and the feedback of completing tasks, until maybe you broach the problem of meaning. I wonder how many of us in the future will spend most of our time dwelling in virtual worlds where nothing is real. If we do, then meaning is cheap.

Toyota is just a symptom, every other car manufacturer and other industries are facing shortages as well. The US economy is now strangled because our supply chain got outsourced for "efficiency" that didn't account for potential disruptions
He's saying that MAP_PRIVATE|MAP_ANONYMOUS causes copy-on-write not just for forked processes, but for threads using std::vector. So he redesigned with a RAII wrapper to explicitly use mmap() with MAP_SHARED to avoid the copy-on-write.

It's confusing because his re-write isn't multi-process, but multi-thread. But then he keeps calling threads processes.

I forget now if this is the 4th or 5th iteration of this kind of technology that I’m seeing. 1st time around was 1994. We used to schedule QoS on the ATM network between sites for each of our Sun workstations. I really feel like this kind of representation is a dead end. It’s a failure of imagination, not of technology.
They did stockpile everything due to not having a plan or consider costs. That also had the strange side effect of constantly running out of parts. In some way, stuff worked by accidentally having the right stuff on hand at the right time in sufficient quantities. TPS is all about having a plan for this stuff.
IT/Security - important

Devops - less so important

>> don't think there's a big market for video conferencing from 6ft away.

There's a chicken egg problem. Other than TVs, we don't really have devices that we use from 6 feet away. These ideas tend to come to fruition when either (a) you catch an egg in the act of hatching or (b) laying. The rest of the time, novel media usually lives in video games or porn.

One idea might be to make this a game, or game related. Playing poker or something, even against friends on videoconference, from a few feet away could be quite nice. I'm sure there are porn ideas too.

It's constant for things like numbers, but if you declare an array const, the only const things is the reference, the array can still mutate. con might be a good name for that.
Programming in Go since 10 years and I do not have to worry about nil pointers. You seem to assume that the possibility of a pointer being nil is something that is complicated, a burden to the programmer and a source of runtime bugs. It's not. At least not in Go. At least not something you have to worry about in practice.
I think the 50 mile one-way commute may be more of the problem here. I can't imagine traveling that far for work daily.
I'd laugh but then I saw this comment: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=28233436.

Yup, Factorio is a nice way to learn about supply chains.

Unfortunately, like almost all videogames, it assumes the whole system is run by a benevolent dictator (i.e. the player). In real life, most of the complexity and most of the waste comes from the system being built incrementally and operated by great many parties in a mix of cooperative and competitive relationships.

> I needed something that would manage all the containers without me having to ever log into the machine.

Not saying this would at all replace Harbormaster, but with DOCKER_HOST or `docker context` one can easily run docker and docker-compose commands without "ever logging in to the machine". Well, it does use SSH under the hood but this here seems more of a UX issue so there you go.

Discovering the DOCKER_HOST env var (changes the daemon socket) has made my usage of docker stuff much more powerful. Think "spawn a container on the machine with bad data" à la Bryan Cantrill at Joyent.
I'm not sure what patents might have been in place at the time Excel came around. In any case, large wealthy companies such as Microsoft are better equipped to deal with the looming threat posed by software patents (or even actual patent-based lawsuits.) Software patents seem particular noxious to smaller software development companies that are more vulnerable to being shut down by a shakedown.
An aspect of this I find fascinating is the different ways photos from Mars are coloured.

The cameras they have sent are quite good and can take 'true colour' images.

From the raw images they can be coloured as if a human was standing on Mars, but more often are coloured as if that part of Mars was on Earth. The reason for this is so that scientists can use their Earth-adjusted eyes to study the images - you want minerals in the photo to look familiar to the Earth scientist.
My layman's understanding makes me wonder if we could solve this situation with a big-ass magnet in orbit, to slowly eat the debris.

OF course there would be complications from the simple fact that it would need to be very big, incredibly durable (as to not generate more debris itself), hard to launch (probably too heavy) and taken into account in all the calculations going forward.
If you can't draw, do pixel art.

Sort of, it would come down to suppliers would historically only sell in large quantities to maximize their production efficiency, so the per unit production cost would be minimized by running a long production run. But this would potentially cause scrap if the final product did not sell well to expectations or if there was a design error, and then also increased working capital as the inventory levels would spike really high with infrequent supply from the vendor instead of being more constant with more frequent replenishment.

And then multiply across everyone in a supply chain for a single product having to deal with waiting to receive giant parts orders from their vendors before they could start their own giant order to supply their customers.

I can't speak for Toyota, but for my own electronics manufacturing business its definitely a chip specific shortage. We don't really have huge problems getting most stuff, but digital ICs are more and more just simply unobtainium, with vague lead times of 1-2 years.
"put it all on black!"
In practice it does make a big difference because if the type system knows about it then it can enforce handling of the exception. (Or more generally, it can just force you to pattern match on the optional time and make sure you handle the empty case.)

Go programs crash at runtime. In general, program failures and bugs should surface as soon as possible. Ideally no later than compile time. Instead, Go makes you wait until the app is running.

For an app that has a lot of configuration options, for example, there can be a latent bug that crashes the binary for some options. And that bug may not be detected for months because nobody was using that combination of config options.

The only real defense of this is to pepper your code with a bunch of nil checks. But these nil checks are also hard to test, so Go devs just learn to ignore missing code coverage. In fact, your code coverage metrics look better if you don't check for nil.

I'm sure at some point Go or a library will offer a version of optional types that is well-adopted. But my point is that by the time Go was designed, null references were already widely considered a bad idea and the source of a huge class of computer bugs. Go still deliberately designed them into the type system.
FUD, to use the old term.

> Nothing in this article makes any sense.

Well, that's basically it.

The author appears to have heard some explanations on Unix & OS internals, but not quite understood them and appears to confuse a lot of things. From the looks of things, I figure the author did some voodoo problem solving and then, convinced of having understood the problem, decided to write an article about it.

There's a lot of second guessing, e.g. what the mmap flags do, based solely on their name, resulting in the bizarre connection to security guarantees; casually dismissing over-commit (because "nobody would do such a thing"), etc...
> Cynically, I think there was one more reason. Intel had to license the 286 to other companies. They didn’t license the 386. I think they produced the 386SX to displace those second-source 286s.

The Harris 286 chips overclocked handily. The difference between 25Mhz and 40Mhz on a 286 was noticeable, too; except when anything hit the ISA bus which din't push much at all.

There were a few systems in that era with SRAM instead of DRAM; I always regretted not catching one. Helped someone track one down for their week long spreadsheet runs.
