I have a feeling that learning a text-based tool like this, will give you greater control and flexibility over your work than NoteScore or Sibelius. Anyone tried both?
I watched a documentary they made about themselves... Only went there because two band colleagues ask me if i wanna come. In one scene he stands in front of a 4mx4m painting he is going to auction off. Some colors smeared over black foundation, ugly as hell if you'd ask for my irrelevant opinion. Sipping a drink he says: "Sometimes i stand here and ask myself: 'What did the artist think when he made it?'"

Slayers' drummer Dave Lombardo said about his colleague Kerry King: "He is the dumbest person i know."

You don't have to be smart, your ego problems figured out or a likeable personality to make great music.

Narcissim plays its part too. I think actually is okay to want to be admired by others by accomplishing great things. I think it is a biological urge to attract a mate. Doseage makes the poison though.
The "hidden" gem here is all the videos posted by Andreas on his youtube channel. I've spent quite a few hours with him and learned a lot of things from his way of working.

It looks like you know nothing about Ukraine too.
Then stop infection and get it back to 0 so you can have half a year without cases & do whatever you want. The previous case was in February.

It's kind of silly to look at it out of context. Look at those Kiwis they locked down over 1 case... Because theres been 6 months without any cases so its easier to lock down and stop the spread of that 1.
The speed gained depends a lot on the structure of the code benchmarked. Natively written Go code has more computation happening in local loops without many function calls, the optimization brings less effect.
An interpreter often calls a function for every single directive executed. This means, you have a lot of function calls inside loops, sometimes for every single operation executed. This of course profits massively from this optimization.
Instantly installed and wow - this is outstanding. Thanks for the recommendation, had never heard of it.
What I don't understand is: How many developers do you really need to create a native Spotify client?

My pet complaint is Google Chat, which is now a web app or a PWA. Seriously, I don't believe that Google can't afford to have three Mac developers assigned to Chat and create an awesome native application, rather than shipping that piece of junk PWA. Similarly I don't buy that Slack, Facebook and Microsoft can't hire or train the most bad-ass Mac or Windows developers to work on native versions of their products.
It could be that the drive against the Taliban in fact starts once these people under 25 see what the Taliban are like, for themselves. It is hard to resist something abstract.

Of course, in North Korea, that awareness probably exists, and it doesn’t help. But maybe it’s not the same.
Yes, the original Gameboy game was first. The other branches followed quite quickly though, so they probably fed into each others popularity and I'm not sure it would have made a huge difference if e.g. the anime had come first and a bit later then the games. EDIT: that all these channels were there was probably quite important though.

Japanese releases:

Game: early 1996, second late 1996

TCG: late 1996

TV series: 1997

movies: 1998
Apologies for those who can't get around the paywal.

It gets worse for Graeber's thesis. The next paragraph from the ones previously quoted:

"Furthermore, those who work in clerical and administrative jobs are far less likely to view their jobs as useless than those who are employed in roles that Mr Graeber regarded as essential, such as refuse collection and cleaning. Indeed, the researchers found an inverse relationship between education and the feeling of usefulness. Less educated workers were likelier to feel that their jobs were useless. And student debt does not appear to be a factor. In Britain, where its level is the highest in Europe, non-graduates under 29 were twice as likely to feel useless as their indebted graduate peers."

So not only are his numbers pretty poor his thesis gets the numbers the wrong way around for those who feel their jobs are of little value.

Yes, you have a point. For example, if we consider algorithms, the grokkkng algorithms book is definitely easier to digest but maybe doesn't go as deep.

So it gets you over a hump which might make the more advanced / detailed books more accessible.
If the resume has a good content, the only rule IMHO is it needs to be easy to read. It doesn't matter if you use LaTeX, Rustdoc, MS Word, Libre Office, HTML or markdown as long as I can quickly get all the information I want.

When I dealt with hiring for my team, I've never paid any attention to the formatting. Making formatting stand out from other resumes did not increase the chances for the resume to be picked and moved to the next stage. It did decrease them though, if crazy formatting made it harder to read.

Using Rustdoc might be "clever", but I don't find this resume very readable honestly. It took me some time to figure out what modules or structs mean in this context. Don't do this.
Recruiters have really little time and they often get hundreds of resumes. If they can't get the essential information quickly enough, they'll just throw it out.

What makes an outstanding resume is in the content and how well it matches the job requirements. If I'm looking for a database engine expert and I get 999 resumes which all mention building websites in JS or machine learning models in Python, but one mentions experience on Linux kernel performance work (proven by accepted patches), which one do you think I'd choose?

I live in Norway, and cannot remember the last time my card wouldn't work - period. Not just with the reasons stated.

When I lived in the states and worked retail, your cash wouldn't be accepted at a lot of stores if the power was out (or if internet/phone lines caused the registers to fail). To complicate things, I worked in a pharmacy, so accepting cash for the medicine without it going through the system might have actually been illegal.
Again with the multiple clicks though. You need to select 'Singles & EPs' after clicking the drop down with the label 'Albums'. To see all the tracks, you first need to change the view from grid view to list.

The governments of Asia need to stop dumping plastic into the ocean ? I’m pretty sure it’s the people, not « governments », who are dumping plastic on the land, which gets washed down the rivers into the ocean.

I agree that the blame is not always 100% on individuals. But systematically blaming anything bad 100% on « governments » is not productive either.
I don't understand "cost center". Everything is a cost center except the part where you physically acquire the money. Surely both marketing and customer service are invested money that hopefully increases your customer base down the line? What's the difference?

I suspect the real reason that the panopticon is kept separate from the customer is to avoid creeping people out.
Build trust with signing your CLI binary and container
Vista brought a lot of migration to Linux indeed. And the Mac being incapable of playing games is a factor for quite some people. But until recently, gaming on Linux was limited.

No one said everyone though.
This is an interesting point. On the first glance, it looks like a very obvious missing piece and having to hand-write such expressions feels like unnecessary painful.

On the second glance, one can see why probably it was left out: there are two fundamental different ways to implement the deletion. You can copy the last element into the slot of the deleted element, or you can move all elements after the deleted one place to the left. The latter is what you implemented and preserves the ordering, which often is desirable. The former is way more efficient, if you don't need to preserve the order. A default implementation would probably choose to preserve the order and thus introduce a systematic inefficiency which is easy to be avoided.

Fortunately, with the introduction of generics and especially the new slice package, this discussion becomes moot.
Great work!

The part I don't understand is how do you find the motivation to write such time taking things? Outside work? At work? I guess you don't know whether this would be profitable or not, how do you stay motivated?
I'd actually be curious about the numbers/actual ratio. I can't think of a single chain of stores that takes cash only, which will make up a huge percentage. On the other hand, restaurants, food stalls, ... are hit and miss.
That screenshot seems to be on the main page now
So basically, the latency from "CreateInstance" to "I can SSH in" for the fastest AMI is roughly 3 seconds, with max being 8 seconds.

That's actually pretty solid. If it were 5-10x faster than that you could probably fit that into a lot of interesting use-cases for on-demand workloads. The bottleneck is the EC2 allocation itself, and I'd be interested in seeing what warm EC2 instances can do for you there.

That said, I think for the majority of use cases boot performance is not particularly important. If you want really fast 'boot' you might just want VMs and containers - that would cut out the 3-8 seconds of instance allocation time, as well as most of the rest of the work.

Curious to see a follow up on what's going on with FreeBSD - seems like it takes ages to get the network up.
I don’t think you understand value. While the amount I owe on my mortgage is relatively less, the price I had to pay for those low interest rates was way higher than it would’ve been.

The true value of something doesn’t magically go up because of inflation. Ultimately inflation still find people. Maybe that is worth it, to avoid deflation, but everything is ultimately in the exchange. If my house was worth 1 million bananas, printing more US dollars doesn’t make it worth more than 1 million bananas.

Next thing you’re going to tell me is that wars are good for economies, because they cause an increase in spending.
I really think that the « lead by example » thing is understated. Developed countries leading by example and demonstrating that sustainable development is profitable and successful is the only way to transform the current situation into a future in which the « polluting stage of development » is understood as being only a transient phase of development and not an end state.

Probably more like the GDPR-non-compliance popups which make it not merely unnecessarily hard to say “no” but which also do it differently in each case so you can’t even learn a pattern for how to quickly say no to everything.
I follow posts on about a hundred sites and about 90% of them support RSS. If they didn't it would make following them almost impossible, so I dont see that happening.
They could still make the landing page static or at least enable some (micro)caching - there is no reason for every request to hit the backend. Of course, this is obvious only in hindsight.
> A job is bullshit if the one who is doing it thinks it's bullshit according to Graeber.

Sounds reasonable. My understanding is that Graeber's work concentrates on what Marx described as "alienation of labour", where people are sufficiently specialised that they don't draw satisfaction from their work any more. Some of these bullshit jobs are probably actually useful, but if it makes the worker feel like this then it still has the same ruinous effect on them, and to a point, society. In this case, feelings can trump facts.
> Most people don't care that it takes an extra 10-100 milliseconds for the UI

TLDR: up to 100ms latency is fine, but alongside higher RAM usage, and when applied to all programs across your machine (not just a single app), hell breaks loose.

I entirely agree with this statement. However, most people don't have a high-end machine like the developers test on, and actual difference in latency between an electron app and a web app may be over an order of magnitude larger.

The problem is in many parts of the world (including in poorer communities of the global north) people rely on second-hand hardware which even in 2021 typically has 1-4GB of RAM, so a single application taking hundreds of megabytes when not over a gigabyte of RAM will quickly lead to you swap hell and render your entire machine slower.

Despite being an ardent GNU/Linux user, I believe the linux kernel OOM is close to the worst that can be done in this matter (although there are certain progresses with eg. earlyoom), but MacOS and Windows are certainly not immune from it. You'd be surprised just how much people avoid using their computer altogether when they don't absolutely need it, just because it's slow as hell, just because developers in their ~ivory towers~ offices didn't do testing on reasonable second-hand hardware.
Typical archeology journalism.
Which NASA stiffed them on.
> The population is 3.9m, so 2500 cases per day. According to https://ourworldindata.org/coronavirus/country/israel it is actually up to 6000 cases per day.

The population is 9.3 million, so 650 cases/million is indeed about 6000 cases per day.
> Our QT/C++ client had decent performance but was noticeably heavier than Spotify's.

Wasn't Spotify's client Qt too ?
Additionally Spotify's original app came out at the time iTunes was (is?) a big bloated mess, especially on Windows.

When Spotify came along it felt like a breath of fresh air, light, nimble, instant playback. Obviously the streaming approach was a departure from the older way, but it just felt so much better to use.

Such a shame they seem to have lost their way with the browser based thing.
Just making sure this paragraph from the middle of the article gets more visibility:

The Health Ministry said the rate of serious cases was
far higher among unvaccinated Israelis aged 60-plus, who
constituted 151.5 people per 100,000 in serious
condition on Monday; among the vaccinated the figure was
19.3, and among the partially vaccinated 40.9.

Serious conditions appear ~8x more often per-capita among unvaccinated compared to vaccinated populations.
Ulrich took it personally, thinking it was somebody stealing from him. I'm convinced Metallica would have faded to irrelevance far earlier if people hadn't downloaded their music.

A lot of musicians still think this way, "I should be able to make a living from my craft and thus piracy is theft." But that's a misunderstanding, I believe -- people would still pay money for music, just like they pay money to creators on YouTube and the likes even if most of the content is freely available.
As a non-American who lived in 6 countries and dealed with different tax offices in Asia/Pacific/Europe, the system sounds absolutely ridicilous to me.
> So having a majority of the votes gets you elected.

In a presidential democracy, yes. In the others, maybe. Win 51% of the districts with 51% of the vote, and lose the other 49% without getting any votes. You've won the election, but haven't gotten the majority of votes.

Yes, it's usually less extreme than in the US, but it still has the same issues with different district sizes.
And yet people (with some exceptions) don't stop developing for it. And that's because iOS is still where the money is - iOS users are much more willing to pay for an app than Android users.

For a user, the typical interaction with a large company is a nightmare of emails with stock replies that don't have anything to do with what you were asking, or hours spent on the phone; while interacting with individual developers (especially as a paying customer) is typically much less of a hassle.
Yep, the response is driven by bureaucrats passing around PowerPoints. They all have excellent job security.
Sad that we are not paying for software nowadays. Look at the consequences!
Actually, you could just use use react (or vue or angular with nativescript) and have one codebase with a __native__ ui on desktop + css on the browser, but keep the app-logic and UI code the same.
Pretty much all my favorite games of all time are indie games.

Video games as a medium seem to be really, really well suited to passion projects, and I can’t explain why. None of my favorite movies are indie movies. Very little of my favorite music is indie.
His videos are one of my favourite things to watch, very calming, and there's always something to learn.
I mean that whether or not the studio closes is at the parent companies whims.

According to Wikipedia, Bioshock Infinite sold 11 million copies. If your development is so costly that 11 million sales, vastly higher than most games sell, isn’t a success then maybe you should go out of business. That’s not a price point problem but a budgeting problem with unrealistic expectations.

If you look at the top selling games, the top 50 ever bottom out at 20 million sales so they were half way to being on the top 50. If your game has to be in or close to the top fifty selling games of all time in order to be profitable then you’ve planned something very wrong.
That makes sense, thanks. I remember now I was using Tidal which did have this option.
Benchmark that would interest me would be time from

"launch GPU spot instance" to "I can actually use the GPU, at least by running nvidia-smi".

I find that this can take up to 10 minutes and for the more expensive instances, this can mean non-negligible amount of money.

No, really. Kabul being taken over by the Taliban doesn't affect you if you're living far away. And you knowing about it doesn't change anything either. Don't worry about things you have no control over. And the easiest way to not worrying about it is to not know about it. Care about the important stuff, don't care about news. News is entertainment.

Hello friends! I'm the original author of SerenityOS and it's a lovely surprise to see it on the front page of HN :^)

This project has been quite the journey for me, from starting it from scratch ~3 years ago, to quitting my job ~3 months ago to focus on this full time. [1] It's also grown from a 1-man project into a bustling open source community with 475 contributors and counting.

If anyone has questions about the system I'm happy to answer them! I also have a huge library of content on my YouTube channel [2], where I've uploaded hundreds of videos of me working on the system in real time, and also monthly update videos (since April 2019) where I demo recent developments.

Our main community hub is over on Discord for anyone interested in joining development. [3]

I would guess it's because it requires more active stabilization of the back and core and as a result muscle tone and posture either stays the same or slightly improves.

I also find that I'm and moving around more often or changing positions more frequently since switching to an exercise ball. I'm guessing several short stints sitting are better than 4-8 hour sessions.
If vaccines bring hospitalizations down they are already a win. The percentage doesn't say much about the number of hospitalizations. In a country where lots of people are vaccinated, I would expect lots of vaccinated people in the hospital too. Like others said, it also depends on the cohort (age, vulnerability, etc.).

While I agree that most alternative stores will be awful, their mere existence can force Apple to do stuff they don’t currently do.

That said, I expect that a month after the alt stores open, many of the same American lawmakers currently complaining about Apple will suddenly start complaining about how non-American stores don’t give so much as a wet fart what American lawmakers think. (The non-American lawmakers also complaining about Apple are likely to be in favour of this, given at worst the alt store is doing the status quo while at best they're now a local business).
typical Russian imperialistic brainwashed conclusions. I'm sorry.

I'm not going to discuss all of your wrong assumptions, just mentioning "closing media". Do you know the narrative those media were spreading? Do you know who is Medvedchuk? These media were pro-russia propagandists.

Yes, but microphobia is more annoying than most viruses, and keeping the immune system unprepared due to lack of exposure is potentially fatal, so perhaps they don't want to encourage those...
I liked "Lateral Thinking"; it kind of opened a new space in my mind. Especially a lesson that solution always exists and that there are no bad ideas. As even the worst ideas can budge people to solve real problems, they could not see otherwise. Which subsequently taught me not to judge people when they say something that looks very dumb. I still remember his example of Boeing engineers asked, "what if airplanes had square wheels?"
This line of reasoning reminds me of that one IMO geometry problem…

I’ll unwind this once I’m less brain foggy.

Anyone know how 83(b) elections (aka "early exercise") works with Californian tax?

After the 83(b) election, if you fully vest all the early exercised shares in California, then move elsewhere for a year or more before selling, will California still tax the gains from that sale?

On the one hand, I'm vesting the exercised shares whilst in CA. On the other hand, I've early exercised, so there is no realized gains until I've sold. So if I leave CA, renounce all ties to CA as the article says, then sell, will CA come after me?

Is this analogous to buying a share of Google whilst a CA resident, then becoming a resident somewhere else and then selling that share of Google there? CA doesn't tax that... right?
