Seeing all of the dismissals of the article makes me think you all are proving the author's point for him. Read: you are not ready to step up your career and are stuck in the phase of taking pride in your craft and optimizing for job stability in your current company.

If you are completely fine with your salary and job atmosphere and have no further ambitions then great, that's good for you; not the case for me and many other programmers looking to break their back less and make more money however.

I've personally been a real-time witness to how I flunked interviews -- and rarely, some sort of business negotiations -- due to sending the wrong signals: clothing, general demeanor, tone of voice, wrong topics (programming languages or amount of servers etc.), and others. I've been there when I failed those, I even cried after some of them, but I gave myself time to reflect and extracted my lessons.

Are people super shallow in how they judge you? Feck yes they are, there's no ways around that fact. But one thing I am learning after I hit 40 and wanted something more than being a yet-another-programmer-drone-fearing-for-his-job, is that rebelling against reality and not making a strategy to exploit the said reality is foolhardy and downright at a teenager level of being disconnected with reality. Or, to use more HN-friendly lingo: it's not productive.

I find it interesting how many people here rebel against the realities the author outlined. And yes they are realities, not fantasies. People will judge you by your clothes and people will try to negotiate you down and the moment you budge they lose all respect for you; to them you are no longer a potential business partner, you are now a lowly slave they can boss around so they want to quickly wrap up the dinner with you and leave. Those dynamics do exist.

IMO it pays off to see all this, acknowledge it, stop rebelling against it, take a few deep breaths, and learn how to exploit it.

Evolution. Those who adapt best will survive.

I am looking to change my life and that's why I feel the way I do about all this. If you are happy with your life I can only envy you and congratulate you for being in a state of internal harmony.

Recycle them. They are almost entirely recyclable, and facilities are actively operating today that perform this recycling. Veolia’s plant in France has been operating since 2018 [1]. Lotus Energy in Australia went live this year [2], recycling 100 percent of the input without using hazardous chemicals. First Solar is providing recycling services (90% recovery) in the US, Germany, and Malaysia [3].

As long as government requires recycling to create a market for this work to be done (instead of dumping in a landfill), it’s mostly solved (logistically speaking, you’re going to want facilities on every occupied continent so you’re not shipping or dumping panels elsewhere).

Not by lenin's definition. Just the definition of democracy and where it came from. We get democracy comes from the greeks - where only the wealthy slave owning elites could vote.

The founders also followed that model. Only wealthy landowning whites could vote. The first few elections only like 4 or 5% of the population voted.

Isn't it crazy how propaganda has shifted your understanding of democracy? Democracy was never "of the people, by the people, for the people ", it was always about the elite few.

Excel will strip leading zeros of your data, even when you're escaping it, it will also assume that that single cell of a Column of dot-separated floats is in fact a date. Excel is in fact so good at detecting formats that even if you construct an xls fill it with ids which partially start with zeros, properly mark them as strings, it will still nag you at every single cell of your file that there is something fishy about the file.
I'm not sure that the population can relate to building a semiconductor ecosystem in the USA -- when a state gives incentives to bring movie production there, people think "Well look at all of those jobs and movies give our state great exposure", but when the government wants to spend billions helping to build a next-gen fab plant here, then it's like "wait, I paid thousands of dollars for my phone and computer, why are we paying them to build plants here, don't we pay them enough!?"

You may say "But semiconductors are used in far more devices than phones and computers", but I'm not sure the average person realizes that. Well maybe they are now when they can't buy the car they want because it's delayed due to semiconductor availability.
Irrelevant, apparently.
I understand your point, but I don’t think there’s any value in including an extra layer of abstraction before you need it. Sometimes it’s clear that you need it from the start. But sometimes it’s not.

And if you end up needing to support something sufficiently different from what can fit into wgpu’s API, the right point of indirection might just be the rendering system. E.g., you might just write a separate renderer for the new platform, so you can write to its model in the most efficient way.
I agree that a president speaking to goals like that would be incredible. But he didn't have almost half the country supporting complete fantastical claims and a decent fraction trying to overturn elections.

But look what he did against racism vs Johnson (not that much compared to J.), and they both still pushed the Vietnam war. Kennedy had to work around the edges on entrenched racism to maintain his Democratic majority with southern votes. At least the parties are more honest about their proclivities today.

A major technique mentioned by the author is omitted from the article’s headline: co-working. She writes about benefitting greatly from logging on to a muted Zoom room with hundreds of other people to work at a set time. It’s interesting how this is effective for some people; for another anecdote, blogger Alexey Guzey wrote about a similar system [0] with a smaller group.

Psychiatrist Dr. David Burns writes at length about more techniques on addressing procrastination (called “do-nothingism”). He has a chapter on the subject in his book “Feeling Good,” and he wrote a similar passage online in an article for his podcast [1]. The methods he writes about that work best for me have been breaking down tasks into sequence of simple steps. This helps greatly for straightforward tasks, though it is less effective for difficult tasks that involve uncertainty and learning. These harder tasks require persistence and preferably time.

Separately, a personal technique I use is to really sell myself on the value of completing a task. The phrase, “discipline matters more than getting motivated” is thrown around a lot on the web, and though it has merit, I find motivation crucial to sustaining projects in the long-term (and also figuring out when it’s worthwhile to exit from a method or approach).

Sadly this is what happens when an office, like the FTC, is politicized.

FTC caters to the current party and pursues an aligned agenda over other things that can bring a tangible benefit to the population.
I don't think I agree. Cache has a cost too.

In theory, you'd want to cache more popular pages and let the rarely visited ones go through the uncached flow.

Crawling isn't user-behavior, so the odds are that a large percentage of the crawled pages were not cached.
That's a distinction without a difference. It's either a binary format--not a CSV. Or it's a CSV file + another file. You can't have it both ways.
Pretty much the same is what has worked for me.

To add to it, the other thing besides being more explicit about the schedule for me was doing things in the morning before work. Even tough I was never a morning person, this helped me a lot with consistency since I can guarantee to get the time in every day while being more or less in the same physical/mental shape every time. Whereas end of day, I might feel too tired, finishing at different hours, have other things on mind, spontaneously getting asked to go for some social activity with friends, etc.
The work is not but many things around it can be. Setting a daily schedule, always get a cup of tea/coffee, sit here, play this music, create a log entry, etc etc. Can all help put the brain in "oh it's time to work" mode.

The pomodoro process works for me and for a lot of people. Just set a timer for 25 or 30 minutes and make a rule you can't do anything else until the time is up. Just sit there and do nothing if your brain refuses to cooperate. Eventually boredom will do the trick.

Finally, creative work often involves lots of bits that aren't really creative. Source control, editing, issue trackers, etc. You can gain a lot by setting up a strict, thoughtless way of going through these motions. Makes it painless and not a hurdle, eventually, even if it still eats time.

Author here. This is a good point. In this case we found it does slow down clean builds somewhat since we're pulling down + compiling Rust dependencies now as well as Elixir. While actually editing Elixir code I haven't experienced any noticeable slowdown for incremental builds - the Rust code is mostly static.
Listen... a lot of people. Hayek still has a following. Well regarded. Nobel Laureate.

Implement... different story. Actual skepticism is a conundrum... notoriously difficult to adhere to. The tables turn when you need to defend your price theory of business cycles... you need to claim to know things.

I would expect Apple to say the same thing if the CCP proposed a system of scanning devices last month. I fail to see how this system changes the calculus for how Apple will deal with authoritarian governments.

If Apple could stand up to them before this system, why can't they stand up to them with this system?

This is also a deep principle of physics. Very simple systems can be "linear" and you can say "okay, if you tweak this little knob, e.g. increase the input, then such-and-so is what must happen, e.g. an increase in the output." But most interactions and feedback loops and so forth create a "complex system" and the result of tweaking one knob is not always what you'd expect -- you add more cars to a freeway and the throughput drops radically. Sounds like you were turning up the "control things" knob, and things got progressively more out of control -- this is quite common.

Another example is that often people who give up dieting will lose weight and keep it off. What matters is not the calories but the health of the relationship with food, and if the diet is taking an unhealthy relationship and making it even more dysfunctional, then how could it help?

Could you provide specific evidence that China has and would do this? I’ve a hard time recalling any specific cases. Maybe nation-states do this kind of thing, but I’m only aware of the countless times the United States has done this. What’s the recent history?
Meh, even before 2000 all throughout the 80s and 90s there were white pages (that eventually made it to the Internet) that listed every telephone user's name and address. Talk about creepy! I hated it at the time but AT&T actually charged money (like $5/mo) to keep your name out of the directory so I let it slide.

I wonder why white pages fell out of favor. Maybe the global access made them a bit too invasive, or people voted with their feet. Or switched to mobile phones which did not do this.
I think that your experience with COVID tests would depend strongly on which country are you in, and which government you are talking about.
Additionally all of the dunks on the US are misguided. The Netherlands is a country of 18 million people, in one of the flattest countries in existence with >90% of the population in urban areas. “We love bikes.” Well, duh.

Here's the relevant part of the C++ standard:

That loop doesn't ever do any of the second through fourth things, and if it didn't return true, then it would never terminate either, so Clang is allowed to assume that it will eventually return true. And since the loop doesn't have any other effects visible outside the function, it can be optimized away entirely.
Same here. I’ve enjoyed many of his other books (including the sequel) as well, but Children of Time was an absolute masterpiece.
I tried this app today on the Quest 2 and think it's pretty damn close. My virtual computer screen was easy to see with probably a 1080p equivalent resolution, the whiteboard was easy to see, as were PowerPoint slides. The FOV is not much of an issue for looking at virtual screens and avatars. The headset weight is fine for me for about an hour but would need to be way lighter for all day use.
I wonder if those with aphantasia tend to hate reading novels. For me, once I get into a book I basically "see" it playing out in my head and I won't even notice that I'm reading words.

Position in many of cases I have heard has been that electric vehicle is just as good. Are you taking a position that they are representing some quality of life decrease and that the state must force us to accept this?
Again. Said professor will have passed said criteria by definition of their employment and their position.

If the Wikipedia editor didn't just Google the person if there were no links why didn't they go to some minor effort rather than just assuming said article is bunk.

Or again, after a very quick search realise the person is senior and publish asking for more public input on the topic/atricle.

The fact it was deleted instead shows either a problem with the mods or a bias among the mods. I fail to see how that isn't becoming more the case.

Most conversation on this is around defending a wiki admin from not being capable of determining good from bad which is getting stupid.
After some struggle I've managed to set up traefik with tags/docker socket so that services can "expose themselves" via tags in their service definitions - is there anything similar for caddy?
Totally agree that modest goals make it easier to get started, get some "little" wins, and help build up steam over time.

I guess the point I was trying to make is when you set the specific schedule, convince yourself its not optional. I make the mistake all the time of saying things like "yea I'm going running at 7am tomorrow", but deep down I don't full commit to it.
1) the point of the birthday paradox is that even if two elements of a set are unlikely to overlap, in a large set it is much more likely than perhaps intuitive that some pair of elements overlap.
2) I’m assuming he did something like putting all the hashes in a list and sorting them, which is at least better than looking at each pair. As you say, it’s not optimal and also doesn’t seem particularly worth including in the otherwise very interesting post
No, because the article we're talking about wasn't deleted. The rejected draft isn't even tied in Wikipedia metadata to the mainspace article.

(There was a deletion on this topic, which I missed and someone pointed out upthread --- but it was for copyright violation, not for notability, so again: there's no "as per" bias against an article for this subject.)

> Not sure about that, since it doesn’t sound like simply requesting answers from the DOH server injects the answer into the DNS cache.

True about that. While you can find out the real IP address of a host even if the os/browser blackholes it, it's more difficult to actually send requests to it: You can pass IP addresses to fetch(), but those will then also be used for the Host header, SNI and cert validation - not what you'd usually want. To make this work, you'd need a "connect to IP address X but pretend it's host Y" option for fetch - something that is probably not supported for obvious reasons.

I think it should still be possible to connect to WebRTC peers or to implement a tamper detection.

> And I don’t think this is novel, since anyone could have ran a dns info api before if they really wanted to.

If you ran your own API, you'd have server infrastructure to maintain. If you used a 3rd-party API, you'd have to deal with accounts, tokens, rate-limiting, etc. In contrast, this DoH server seems to be open to anyone, without any kind of registration required.

I think this makes this feature significantly cheaper to use.
How does this fit within what Apple has stated will be the operating procedure for this scanning?
Words in interviews mean little to me. If it's impossible to hold a cooperation accountable when the verbal promise is broken, that promise, not word-by-word but in its spirit, is void from the beginning.

This is just my biased view but there _could_ be countless ways to slip the slope without violating the current framing. For example:

Q: What happens when other governments ask Apple to use this for other purposes.

A: We will inform them that we did not build the thing they’re thinking of.[1]

Note that the question could be interpreted as "use this exact implementation" (rather than use the algorithm in general), and the answer does not rule out the possibility of "but we can build the thing for them then" (rather than "we don't have it and we will never have it"). The reader is free to interprete the conversation as they see it.

One more logic-focused on it is that control is a false concept in general. You can only choose what to control what you think about at best but outside factors are out of your control so you become a slave to those changing factors. So, effectively, attempting to control external factors makes the external factors control your thinking.

Imagine leading an animal into a cage with food. To that animal, they are controlling their food intake and their lunch! In that attempt to exert control over the situation they have lost all primary control.
> It made sense in the 90's to upgrade every 2-3 years because you got 1.5-3x more performance each time.

You still get that level of performance increase. It's just that it's to the point of being imperceptible, or invisible, to the vast majority of users. The only ones who really notice are the ones really pushing the machines with things like 3d rendering, 12k video production, and high end audio (I can run 80 plugins now where I could only run 70 before!).

Texting? Doesn't matter how fast your machine gets, you won't notice. It will perceivably perform just as good as a phone that texted 20 years ago. You can run benchmarks and see, oh yeah, this is faster, but it's not noticeably faster to your human inputs.

In the days of 300 baud modems, they were so slow you could actually read text as it was sent over the line, as if someone was just a very fast typist and you were watching them. Now, you get full multiple pages of text with videos that pop up almost instantaneously. Once we got to 1200 baud, it was too fast to read as it was coming over the line. You couldn't catch up. Ever since that threshold was crossed, it doesn't matter how fast speeds get, they're all faster than the human brain can absorb so they are basically the same in our minds.
