>Twenty years ago, the Mac version of Photoshop was just better than the Windows version. That hasn't been true in a while.

I've used both (PS on macOS/Windows) recently and find them to be more or less equivalent. Given the choice of using macOS or Windows, I'd still take macOS.

Not sure what the point of your line re: hardware is when a standard M1 Mini runs very well for this use case. If you want a bigger monitor... just buy the bigger monitor with a Mini.

>Now the UI on Linux is better than it used to be

I ran Desktop Linux for years before going macOS, and I check in periodically. I remain unimpressed, it's still a jumbled mess of an ecosystem. UI is also not the stumbling block to Linux adoption - hardware support alone, while better, still isn't up to what you get with the big two.

>and Windows has WSL et al

This is a fair point, and was an incredibly smart thing for MSFT to do.

>and Mac is full of "pay for a license annually and deal with code signing nonsense" that developers hate.

Have you ever code signed anything elsewhere, where you buy certs and such? It costs money. Apple's setup is a flat $100/year and "just works". This is also only if you're shipping software, you can run homebrew/etc just fine if you're doing dev work - there's tons of developers working on macOS who never pay Apple the $100/year for membership.

Can you actually refute what I'm saying, which is that macOS is still very usable by developers? The OP I responded to originally is claiming that the macOS devs loved is "90% gone", but outside of HN/Reddit echo chambers I don't see people switching en-masse.

Do the hard part in the shower.

In other words, spend more time away from the computer thinking architecturally or planning next steps, sometimes taking notes for later. Save the actual coding (or other direct work) for executing the plan. This makes everything easier, especially if you are used to 4+ hour coding sessions and/or you have constant interruptions (i.e. kids).

Don't stay up late cramming code - wake up early instead. "Sleep debt" is the technical debt of parents. Avoid it or you will waste time staring blankly at the screen at 2am.

Schedule time to work on it, like on your calendar. Treat it like a real thing that is a valuable use of your time and not an activity like playing XBox.
Guanajuato city, Mexico. I lived there for a while, <$1k no problem. Not humid, perfect climate. Adorable place. I ended up there because I did some analysis of climate data for all of Mexico and it came out on top.

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

Edit: I lived there 5 years ago and USD$1k per month would have been plenty, but a nomad website I just looked up lists it at $1250. I'm surprised by that, I think you would be fine. In fact I know people who live there who don't earn anything near $15k USD per year.
That's a rubbish objection. Attack the message - not the messenger. I cited the paper so that you can verify that the figures I provided are correct. Furthermore, new rental apartments already are excluded from rent control so rent control can't be the reason so few apartments of any type is being built. 20-30 years is for the most desirable areas of Stockholm (Gamla stan) and is not the median queuing time.
Bad? No, not really. If you ask me, (almost?) nothing is inherently bad. But it's a nice and obvious feature to skip them if you want, so it's pretty amazing that such options are possible now. (However, I don't think I'll use it, because there is an mpv plugin for that, and it feels pretty weird, to actually skip parts of the video when downloading. I mean, what if I'll need it one time: do I have to re-download the video?)

The problem is if two towers worth of rich people move to the area but you only build one tower. Then half of them will move into the luxury tower and half will bid up the prices on the nearby average housing.

Obviously the solution is that you should've built two luxury towers. However, people watching the situation sometimes get the counterfactual wrong and conclude that if the luxury tower hadn't been built, none of the rich people would have moved to the area. They then conclude the best idea would be to build no new housing at all and do everything they can to make sure that is the case
If you had a delta filter I would never use the ITM/OTM setting. It is useful to have the % ITM/OTM in the output, but not as a filter, for my use case.

In case it helps, my normal filter is something like:

- Type: PUT

- Days to expiration: 20 - 40

- Delta: -.30 - -.20

- Open interest: >100

- Premium: >$1

- Underlying price: >$50

- IV: 10% - 30%

That gives me a range of out-of-the-moneyness I'm looking for, but I don't care what the absolute % is.
For CPU cycle counts it's not that different, for GPU cycle counts it's something in the range of 50x FLOPS difference for consumer GPUs so avoid it in shaders and whatnot if you can. There is also the matter of SIMD on the CPU, you can generally get twice the SIMD rate by halving the bit width of the data which is quite the gain.

Outside raw computation rate though there is also the matter of cache and memory bandwidth. You'll use 2x with doubles which can really bog things down as even if the CPU can crunch the calculation quickly it could spend a lot of time waiting for the data to crunch to arrive.

All that being said if you know your game is going to be simple then it probably doesn't matter one way or the other even if it does come at a big performance cost.
The variance overlaps from age 20-59 so you can't statistically differentiate anything conclusive about the difference between those groups. An alternative conclusion is that retired people (65+) don't drive as much and are able to avoid rush hour / high risk times to drive.

Wasn’t Wiz founded by an ex Microsoft Cloud security engineer?
It doesn't seem to be what this article is about, but 25 years ago I needed to have a hdd and a cd writer on the same IDE cable and I couldn't get it to work without windows blue-screening. It forced me to switch to linux and I never switched back (except for work and various other annoyances).
Flatpak also has unescapable limitations. For instance, Flatpak-installed Wireshark cannot actually capture packets. There is no way to give it the permissions at all.
Show HN: Made a virtual spinner that now drives 40% of my startup's web traffic
A few weekends back I wanted to build something creative...so thought I'd try and make the most realistic, satisfying, virtual fidget spinner.

I know the fidget spinner craze was a while back but I still use my physical spinner, so wanted to see if I could replicate it online.

I also thought it could be a way to drive traffic to my other project, which is productivity app, so it kind of fits with the theme of fidgeting and attention.

So I made the fidget spinner and put a link to my other project in the nav bar.

It was a win-win. I learnt a lot making the spinner, and now it accounts for almost 40% of the traffic to my other website.

The spinner has been spun around 32,000 times so far!

It's using React, React Spring and a cool library I found called Propeller to create the inertia effect.

To make it feel even more realistic I added a spinner sound effect from freesound.org (a great resource for sounds!) and made the volume increase as it spins faster.

Would love to hear what you think!

What if looking for actionable things related to working harder is a useless waste of time?

It might be better then to look into medical, genetic and environmental aspects, and focus on that instead of trying to find tricks to work harder.

For example, trying to change your environment might help more than busting your a$$. Can you move to a place with better access to education, books, or people with expertise? Can you find places that support some of your needs that enable you to focus on taking a course or other? Can you find programs that can fast track you into a new discipline that's paid for? Etc.

Another example is that if genetics plays a big role, than working hard is counterproductive, instead you'd want to find something that plays to your genetic, whatever that is. Find something that is easy to you, and focus on doing that. Don't waste time trying something you find really hard that you don't have the genetics for.

Now the medical aspects I would say is more in terms of where we invest, instead of paying for self-help pseudo science books and talks. Should we invest in ways to medically address deficiencies in motivation, intelligence, judgement, perception, sleep, etc. This might be a long shot, but I think better understanding the role of genetic, the brain, and all that with regards to accomplishment will help us find actual mechanism that might really work, unlike "hard work".

Personally, I tell people to focus on "easy work". Forget hard work, your goal is to make it so the work you do is as easy as possible. You can achieve that by finding something you have a natural aptitude for, or for which you have the right environment to succeed at. Focus on choosing the right people and place to surround yourself in for whatever the work is you are trying to do. Focus on something that motivates you, and feeds into your reward mechanisms.

Finally, don't consider yourself a failure if you fail, because if you think hard work has nothing to do with it, its just bad luck, so don't be too hard on yourself ;)
> Don't forget to then consider the chance of the likely two guardians of the child

They have had months to get vaccinated or otherwise prepare for the inevitable outcome of catching what has become an extraordinarily contagious endemic virus. Should their kids wear masks for the rest of their lives to protect their own parents from the virus? (Supposedly -- in reality there is very little evidence these measures work very well to reduce transmission at all.)
YouTube is not a hobby? Interesting. I don't think I ever thought it was. I guess I consider it closer to art.

Plenty of musicians, artists perform/create with no prospect of monetary gain. They do it for the accolades. They do it for the positive feedback. They do it because they have to: they're artists.

I suspect YouTubers like "Applied Science" are artists of a sort. I guess I'm drawn to YouTube artists.

> They operate at a higher speed than regular pedal bikes

They can, but don’t have to. Strange would be the market were bicycles only capable of going at 20mph or 0mph were used.

> We may as well suggest that everyone use electric motorbikes and then car lanes will carry much more traffic.

Good idea!

> It is much less common and mostly not possible to have children too large for a baby seat but too young to travel on their own (4-12 years old or so) using a high traffic bike lane.

There are all sorts of ways around this: e.g. https://www.cyclinguk.org/article/how-transport-children-bik.... And they’re not dangerous when everyone’s on a bike (in a cycle lane): see e.g. Dutch road layouts.
Of course rent control effects supply, because it alters behavior. You can debate how much it affects supply and the availability of affordable housing but I don't see how you can claim it cannot have any affect. One of my friends lives in a rent controlled apartment for example. It's a 3 bedroom apartment that he lives in by himself because it's cheap enough. He was transferred to work overseas for 6 months and kept the apartment because if he gave it up when wouldn't be able to get anywhere close to the same price when he returns. That change of behavior due to rent control now just took a 3 bedroom apartment off the market indefinitely.
@41209 look at this: https://pl.usembassy.gov/abct/

I live in Żary (Tier-3 City), which is near Żagań. Quick overview:

- small city is quite cheap. Prices said by @burntoutfire are right

- there are around 2000 US soldiers hanging around here. So you won't be alone :) if someone told you that small cities in eastern europe may be intolerant (or unsafe or unwelcoming) for travelers - it's not here. Here Everyone thinks that every American met is a soldier with combat training ;)

- internet is cheap and stable. mobile is cheap and stable (comparing to US or western Europe). In almost every place you can pay using credit card.

- ecommerce is working great here. Delivery takes 1 working day. Parcel lockers are on every corner of Poland already :)

- it's close to Germany (10 miles to border, 100 miles to Berlin) so you can get two cultures in one visit.

- people in Poland are... mentally somewhere between Russians and Germans ;)

- most of the people <40yo understand english. But many of them have no practice and are just afraid to speak. The younger people you meet the bigger chance to speak english you have.

- it's the region with a lot of forests (like 70% of area). So the air quality is decent comparing to any large city.

- covid is not an issue here right now. We had 6 new cases in last 24h per 1 million people. There is no "next wave" coming. You should wear a mask in closed space, but except visits at hospital/doctors no one cares.
If you’re implementing custom logic, why not just make it easy on yourself and use a proper programming language. Trying to invent custom logic systems gives us cmake.
You can theoretically not involve yourself in Facebook either.

Once your default distribution starts shipping with built in ads, and every other distribution follows suit because it makes them boatloads of money, your linux desktop will be well and truly dead.
I do not think you remember it correctly. Cumulatively mortality is around 2% and sometimes higher of all known cases.
> My advice to you coming from macOS is to explore Gnome using either Debian or Fedora.

I love Debian. But really, if you want the best experience on the desktop you really want to be using a rolling release distro or something that’s released more often than Debian.

If you’re coming from MacOS something like elementary OS [1][2] might also be a good starting point.

Unless of course said software is not in your repo, then expect that it will take at least 2.5 hours.

Congratulations. It’s an incredible endeavor to get anything launched, much more so given the context.
Just a couple years earlier and it was more fraught, for sure. UMDA/33 was probably late '97 or early '98. I got a couple of oddball IDE drives from a friend back in about '94-- a 100MB-ish Xebec and a similarly-sized KALOK drive. I recall having difficult getting them working along side my Western Digital 250MB. I had a SCSI CD-ROM so I didn't have that mess to deal with and ended up running one of the oddball drives at a time on my secondary IDE channel.

The fun I don't miss was "disk overlays" and finally adding a Promise-branded ISA card with an option ROM to exceed the >1,024 cylinder (504MiB) "barrier". I still have that card knocking around somewhere, I think. It'd be fun to dump that ROM and see what it looked like.
I actually did have that in my original comment but it didn't survive an edit. Vehicles, vessels, countries and a few others seem to get a gender, but it's not actually a part of the language in the same sense as in Spanish, Italian, German, French, and others. It more seems to reflect a kind of personification (the nation as an entity becomes a she, same with a ship). That's distinct from the grammatical gender in other languages.
Linux does right? I believe this is how android works but you can set something up manually by creating a seperate user and changing the permissions on the browser cache/data folder, then run the browser as one user and yt-dlp as a seperate one.

There might be a more modern and streamlined solution for Linux, but in Windows land they also introduced Controlled Folder Access into defender.
> Furthermore do you knoe how much fossil fuels goes into building windmills and solar cells? Both from a material and manufacturing perspective.

You're just describing a feedback cycle: the more we transition to renewables, the less fossil fuels will go into wind turbines and solar cells.

From your link:

> Large trucks bring steel and other raw materials to the site, earth-moving equipment beats a path to otherwise inaccessible high ground, large cranes erect the structures, and all these machines burn diesel fuel. So do the freight trains and cargo ships that convey the materials needed for the production of cement, steel, and plastics.

In other words, we should transition our vehicles to renewable power. Electric motors are already preferable when it comes to heavy machinery (bucket-wheel excavators and conveyor bridges, the largest machines ever made, being the most extreme examples). Wind/solar farms generate electricity, so they can start charging batteries or electrolysing water to hydrogen as soon as the first turbines/panels are installed; they'll eventually need hefty grid connections, so installing those early-on can also power the construction.

Managing an electric/hydrogen construction site is mostly logistics rather than engineering: we don't need new battery tech or fuel cell membranes when vehicles are operating on a single site, centrally coordinated, centrally owned/rented, etc. Battery swaps make more sense when a single entity controls all the batteries (no fear of losing a good battery for a worn-out dud). Even if you want to be incredibly pessimistic about battery/hydrogen usage: with a bit more coordination and training, construction vehicles could just be wired!

Similarly, electric trains are a thing; electric and hydrogen trucks are already available and getting better; we can sail cargo ships, for a price (time + money).

The only place which seems to require new science and engineering in all this is steel and concrete production, but (a) there are a bunch of companies bringing improvements to market already, and (b) that's no reason to avoid all the other improvements. Again, worst-case pessimism: we might need to plug excess renewables into some vastly-inefficient air capture system to offset jet aircraft, rockets (except hydrogen burners), concrete and steel; that's still easier than trying to offset all those things plus electricity and land transport and shipping and construction etc.

The only direct barriers are economic; and those are indirectly political.

SCSI stuff was way too expensive for poor college kids.

Funnily enough ATAPI was just a slightly cut down version of SCSI run over ATA. There was little reason for the big SCSI price premium except that the vendors thought they could get more money out of businessmen and Mac users.
Very nice.

I am running a similar site, and I wonder whether it isn't a bit overwhelming to have all the bells and whistles on the one page, upfront. In my experience, you get tons of bounces because people don't know (yet) what your site is for (but as someone who does know what options are, it does look useful). I don't think there is any single "answer" though.

My "solution" in the past has been either to break up all the options into a sequence of choices (so the user only has to make one choice at a time, rather than worry about all the other knobs and dials/what they do/what they have missed), or (where possible) divide the choices between pages in some way that makes sense (this wouldn't make sense in this case but you would do puts and calls on separate pages).

Would be interested to hear any other solutions though. I do these kind of sites (tables, lots of things to select, lots of data) almost exclusively and so I am always looking for more solutions.

Some other thoughts: maybe make the top bar smaller to give yourself more room.

I am not a big fan of centred data in tables because the spacing can feel irregular. And I would try to standardize column title length (for example, using abbreviations/tooltips) so your spacing is even too. My eye is drawn immediately to the underlying price column because of the gap created by centring/title length, which isn't good because this isn't really an important column. I would also consider working out which column is most important and making that more prominent (if possible) so the table is scannable (another option is hiding some columns, again I am not sure how this fits with your vision for users but is the user scanning rows and only needs to look at the delta later? Some of your columns are clearly duplicated in the description too, do you need separate columns for bid/ask...lots of options I think to cut the table down a bit...I have a 15" laptop and 10 columns feels like a lot).

Finally, very minor point, but I wonder whether the font on the unselected multi-select buttons is too light...it is very, very slight but just blends a bit too much with the background, imo (generally, the colour scheme/contrasts for your selections are excellent, I feel my eye is drawn to the right places and nothing is distracting).

Well done though. I think there is a huge niche for these kind of financial information products.

EDIT: Open Interest is spelt wrong in the table's column headers.
