To keep to official rate of CPI down, otherwise the official CPI would be very much higher.

Another way of keeping the CPI down is to substitute cheaper items in place of the previous more expensive things. So if a pound of hamburger mince is no more expensive than a pound of prime steak used to be, there is officially "no inflation".

Inflation is really a tax. It's tax on your wages, it's a tax on your savings. But it's a stealth tax that most people don't even consider to be a tax at all.

One simple way of looking things: This year you have $100, one year later, with an inflation rate of 3%, your $100 can now only buy about $97 worth of goods. (It would cost you $103 in a year's time to buy what you can buy today for $100.) What happened to that $3? It has evaporated as a stealth tax.

Keep that $100 for enough years, and it will then be only worth ONE single today's dollar. I calculated recently, that with 50 years of inflation since Nixon took the US off the gold standard back in 1971, it would take THIRTY-EIGHT 2021 dollars to buy what just ONE 1971 dollar would buy.
Compiling to binary can be plenty fast, especially JVM code. It’s optimisation that really takes time.
It is hard for me to want to work on an open source Lisp IDE, when I can pay a relatively small amount of money in return for a professional and well-maintained commercial product. It just doesn't make sense for me. If all of the commercial Lisp vendors vanished one day, then it would become much more important.

I find Insights into Mathematics (https://youtube.com/c/njwildberger) interesting and thought provoking. Even though many subjects are well beyond me, I appreciate the way subjects are dissected and explained. Note though, AFAIU the channel mainly deals with pure mathematics, not always relevant for applied mathematics.
Thriller Book Sales Are Slightly Less Thrilling This Year, NPD Says
Trillions of dollars wasted in the war but it should also be mentioned that the US lost over a trillion dollars shorty before the attacks on the world trade center. The war swept that topic from the table but the money has to be somewhere.
Corporate crime/ Blue collar crime gets ignored a lot
The problem with alternate app stores on Android is that before Android 12 (which is still only in beta), other stores couldn't update the apps they install, which is kind of fatal.

You also can't install the various alternate stores themselves through Google Play and Google purposely makes installing APKs a pain for regular people.

And then it's "see, nobody wants them" after they purposely put a wall in front of them which most people can't get past.

So developers still need to be in Google Play to get all the users who can't figure it out, but if everything is in Google Play then even the customers who could figure it out have no incentive to go through the trouble.
More likely its that a "full" OS would at least be be aware of the heterogeneous elements. Then it could provide api's for negotiation between them, if not directly providing a method to run them.

One method could be, say, extending microkernel capability systems to incorporate these remote processors. Or perhaps even the ability to provide WASM or ePBF control blocks to customize the power management system. Though its true that'd require more engineering resources.

Actually USB is somewhat like this in that there's a hardware api and spec that the OS knows about. Linux has troubles with even that in my experience (often requiring a reboot to fix.

Pointer vs. Reference in C++: The Final Guide
Is it frustrating going through life assuming a superficial understanding of words and phrases without considering how they are intended to be understood by the writer/speaker?

The article I linked clearly explained that "processed" is not a binary flag, but rather a continuum. And that the harm is done by processing that adds excessive sugar, salt, and fat (and even then only when you consume that type of processed food to the exclusion of all other food).
Now I'm curious: Sarbanes-Oxley pushed vendors into subscription models? How? What exactly did it change in the cost-benefit picture?

I don't like PWAs (or modern web dev in general), but at least

1) Multiple PWA can run in a shared browser instance without the considerable overheads of Electron apps,

2) They tends to be a lot better optimised than Electron apps since it might be accessed from a phone or other minimally resourced platform, and

3) I can still use my standard browser tools and add-ons such as ad-block, etc. - blocking telemetry and social media tracking usually considerably improve performance.
Not that it's impossible to do this with Electron, but generally speaking I'm past the stage in my life where I can be bothered working around crap like this and would rather just not use Electron apps at all.

So I have less of an issue with PWAs.

Another gripe I have with Electron apps is under Windows they generally want to run out of the user's AppData directory, which is incompatible with secure environments where Software Restriction Policies are used to prevent execution in user-writable places. You end up having to poke a bunch of holes in your security to make things work, and indeed there have been attacks targeting Electron apps such as the Teams squirrel updater mechanism[1].

Talk to a therapist. Any therapist you can find will be helpful to begin with, don't get stuck on choosing the "best" one.

They'll help you understand yourself better, learn what it is about your circumstances you actually like and don't like, and why you like or don't like things.

They'll also help you find out if you want to change anything, and what, if anything, is holding you back from making a change.

Feeling disillusioned with your professional life is one thing

One of your parents finding a new relationship mostly isn't your problem, you're an adult, a 30-year old adult, worried that your spouse is going to conflate your professional life and your parent's social life as a problem? Is your relationship really based on your spouse caring about your dad's romantic life, because that sounds like its own problem if so! Really talk to a therapist because my sole role here is to invalidate all of your problems because this seems procedurally generated by a GAN.

>30% was highway robbery from the start. Pure and simple.

From the Start? Credit where credit's are due, 30% for software was good enough for a lot of independent developers. Even to this day. Handle Processing charges, distribution, Tax etc. For a lot of categories 30% isn't that bad. Especially for Software.

The problem start when they are enforcing 30% on Services and not on Software. Signing up a Teaching Class with Real instructor on iOS? 30% to Apple. Signing up Services like Web Hosting, Video Streaming, or whatever it is, 30% to Apple. Apple had to made exempt to each and every category after people complain. At this point when the whole world is moving to digitisation, 30% no longer becomes a cost of Software but a Tax on all things.

"Here" sounds like a strange place.

Fragility means something is easily broken. The opposite is toughness, not callousness. Relatedly, resilience means something recovers or repairs easily. Sensitivity is how easily something reacts to inputs.

Fragility in people (AKA "breaking down" or "going to pieces") doesn't need an accusation or necessarily involve external perceptions. If you see an adult, say, trip over something and then start sobbing, they were likely already in a fragile state and the trip was enough to momentarily shatter them. Someone who's "tough" will endure more hardship than someone who's "fragile" before breaking down. Someone who's resilient will be able to put themselves back together again more easily, regardless of whether they were tough or fragile.

Fragility as the original posted used it makes sense: if someone is food/money insecure or physically insecure or socially insecure, it won't take much "damage" to make that insecurity into a crisis.

lol absolutely not. if you think it’s going to get first class UI support before qemu does you are delusional. docker may not even be the top dog in 5 years, it could easily lose to kubernetes or even plain VMs / jails.
Yes, I was sure there were few combinations of Linux Distro + Hardware manufacturer + Model number that would work fine 100% of the time for sleep issues. Now, would that combination also have decent battery life, decent display etc, Now, I will have to find the hours to go hunt for these details and reviews. You get my point... The ecosystem is simply not mature.
Historically speaking these one off stock recommendations from HN have really been fantastic. I just sold them too early and didn't put enough down.

Like that one comment I remember in 2011 recommending to buy and hold Bitcoin for 10 years. Right. I bought. Didn't hold. Same deal with Tesla.

I want something that takes $5,000 from me, invests it, then makes me forget about it, then 10 years later sends me a letter and says "you forgot about this, 10 years ago you did such and such, here you go"

You can do fractional buy from the US on that instrument in Sofi (not in RH) btw for those who were looking to put only like $50 in. If you are doing an onboard there to invest in this, email me (check my bio) and I'll send my referral bonus link for signup (it's $25 for stocks + $10 withdrawable cash currently). Free money...
I meant app reviews from apple itself before getting any new update approved for listing on the app store, not user reviews of the app utility
Its more a guide for pandering to the narcicissts who infect our lives and make us miserable.

If you find yourself having to perform these rituals in the workspace, stop yourself.

When dealing with emotionally damaged people who never made it to fully functional adult, speak to them in a monotone and don't engage with the emotional manipulation they are attempting. This will confuse them, then enrage them, then finally they will admit defeat.

Do not pander to the emotionally manipulative person ever.
This is a weakness that is talked about more than it actually matters, to my mind.

In diving into libraries for Common Lisp, I'm finding more in the realm of "basically works as I would expect" than I would have expected based on how much this weakness comes up.

What is still jarring for me, is that image based development is just not taught or cultured. The iterative based approach that can be used in such an environment is just... so foreign to everything I have ever seen/done before.

Oddly, jupyter notebook style build ups are getting there. With the scary realization that a linear realization of the cells in your notebook is something that simply takes effort. Not something that is required for results.
I'd say the only important power is the ability to enforce their decisions. Respect makes things smoother, but is not necessary. And power alone will naturally command respect from most people.
I love UKL's prose, but her clinging to a metaphor between biological and economic growth seems to me too desperate. Those two things aren't the same, even if they accidentally use the same word. (And I think that is the root of the inaccuracy: writers love words and are enthralled to them.)

Biological growth is always physical. Economic is not, there is a large virtual component (maybe too large!). It is possible to generate a lot more economic growth through clever ideas such as invention of e-mail than through deforesting the entire Amazon. A lot of inventions that generate economic growth actually save the environment. For example, modern production of electricity is probably less destructive than the traditional logging of forests for wood to burn, which was the preferred way from minus infinity to 1800.
If machine learning depends on matrix multiplications, but you fib them using machine learning ... do you see the problem?
Either you have the information or you do not. Interpolation (of whatever type) is always adding “guesses”.

As others have mentioned, the privacy implications are much more important. That is, the site owner will not have to have access to eg. the camera stream, but still use AR with this method.

So in a way, the value in this proposal is that it is less capable than the from scratch approach, and can be implemented safely just in the browser.
This is commercial software, not something that a dev dropped into github and left untouched.

AMD is working on a graphics card that would beat Nvidia’s RTX 3090
I don't know about Canon, but the Sony one is lower resolution than the HDMI capture. I was able to buy a cheap Chinese USB-HDMI capture card for like $8 and it works actually quite well, and is driverless.
I noticed this exact same thing in my ex-FAANG colleagues. No judgment, just an observation.
I suspect the "-os" bit is supposed to be read the right way around, as "OS" (= Operating System). "Xinu OS".

Hmmm... In good old recursive-definition-hacker-backronym style, "Xinu Is Not Unix"?
I use LispWorks on Apple's current OS (Big Sur) and on a current Linux. The IDE picks up newer looks in many respects, since it uses a native graphics backend (Cocoa, Windows, GTK).

If a new OS would cause UI problems, they would fix that. Usually just shipping tiny patches of compiled Lisp code.
Thank you, TIL (after a year on HN!)
I have the Cochlear CI512 implant. Not sure how many channels it has (14?), but IIRC at this point increasing the number of channels doesn't have a significant difference in outcomes. Implants are designed to be simple and reliable so that they last for life. The real smarts are in the external processor, which is custom programmed or "mapped" for each recipient.

I recently upgraded to the Nucleus 7 processor, but it sounds identical to my previous Nucleus 6 processor. Main benefit is that the Nucleus 7 is smaller and lighter and the batteries last longer.

Keep in mind though that cochlear implants are generally a last resort since implanting them will usually remove any residual hearing you might have left. AFAIK your ear has to be "profoundly" or totally deaf before doctors will recommend implant surgery. Preferred treatment is to augment whatever hearing you still have with hearing aids before recommending implants. In my case my left ear is almost normal up to 1500Hz so it has a hearing aid that does some frequency transposition for higher frequencies. Implant is in my right ear which was almost totally deaf.

Hope that helps.
I'm thrilled to see people adressing this (decades old?) footgun. I hope there will be more collaboration in the future. The split universes system and language specific package managers operate in are a cause for much more issues.
For me it's the other way. I have no issues embedding nubers in the touch typing when typing normal text, but if there are only numbers, accuracy will go down, unless I bring my center down to the asdf line, which slows me down a lot.

I also did practice my musscle memory for the numpad in a similar way to touch as part of typing scientific data (back in the 90s). After a couple of weeks of that, my speed on the numpad would be at least twice as high as when typing numbers on the main keyboard. Also, accuracy was high enough that I could reliably trust the output even when not looking at the result (very close to 100%), which is critical for many use cases that involve numbers.

Even if I spend 99% of my time on the regular keyboard now, if I have to spend more than 5mins typing only numbers, I will feel really frustrated without a numpad.

Then again, I tend to use the laptop keyboards quite little anyway, mostly only while travelling or when in a meeting room. In the office, there is a dock and at home I use a desktop.
If you break your foot, you go see a doctor. If your car is struggling to go up hills, you take it to a mechanic. If your mind is exhausted and your mental health is struggling, you should see a therapist.

I started seeing one when covid lockdowns started coming in my town, and it’s been a life changing experience. They work with you to uncover what is happening, and teach you strategies and ways of thinking to accept or overcome the issues you’re facing.

Right now if your mental health is struggling, it will impact your decision making and so many other aspects of your life. Rather than make a huge decision like quitting a job or career, first go get some help and discuss it with someone who is trained to help. All the best.
I love the term “nuisance licensing”. Considering how everyone and their grandmother is switching to subscription models I wonder why it didn't come up earlier.
Historically false. Christians were persecuted in Rome because they refused to sacrifice to Divine Ceasar.

Rome was very serious about worshiping Ceasar; the rest was optional.

(Rome didn't have a "civil society" or "social contract" in any sense we'd recognize. Their laws were supposed to be divinely ordained, and refusing to acknowledge this was grounds for the death penalty. If you're imagining Rome as some sort of freedom of religion place like America with the First Amendment then you're sorely mistaken; think Soviet communism or China instead.)

In March 2020, somebody asked PG what language/tech he would recommend for competitive advantage, if they were willing spent 1000 hours learning it ("Is it still LISP?"). He said Clojure.

https://twitter.com/ndehouche/status/1240218141742878720

Personally, I like to imagine PG scoffing at the idea of spending only 1000 hours (6 months, 40 hours per week) learning Lisp, then sarcastically recommending Clojure aka macro-less, continuation-less, Java-lisp.

You want to spend 10 minutes? Use Typescript! ;)

(I love Typescript too btw.)

Multiplexing is completely different from keep-alive. With http2 a web browser requires one tcp connection per website as communication is in parallel, approaches like conncatenating several css files into one have no use with http2 anymore! Http1 keep-alive allows reusing the same tcp connection for sequential requests/responses only.
Sadly the most efficient way to get attention of the press is to say "I support Sinterklaas" on Twitter.

Rolling your own Embedded Linux on a device like the Pi is all fun and games for hobbyists until you run into the most typical security vulnerabilities and maintenance hell which comes from being unable to update it to the latest firmware.

Maybe we will see improvements in this space once other secure alternative operating systems and kernels designed for running on embedded systems are available.
efficient market theory is astrology for males, in a world where astrology and trading was gendered.

the commonality being that neither produce peer reviewed reproducible results.

nothing is priced in. things can be undervalued with known public information. market appetite can also further overvalue something with a new normal for price to equity ratios.
I do basically the same thing. If a method tries to start a transaction when a transaction is already open then it's immediately rejected.

I don't really like automatic transaction joining behaviour because it makes it hard to reason about the application behaviour. Will this transactional method commit when it returns? It's impossible to tell without looking at who's calling it.

It also encourages annoying behaviour like, oh this method uses the database, better make it @Transactional.
This 1000x developers are lazy and generally don't want go throug bureaucratic hassle. Long run this just going to hurt docker when developers start using podman or some other free alternative.

It will take some time for the dad thing to become the ‘new normal’. Don’t expect to be fine with it straight away but keep trying over time because it’s worth it. Do small stuff like going round for a quick coffee.
that's not what the 360 degree camera is. it is an aerial view, for parking assistance. it allows you to more easily get close to the passenger side curb, and to align center between 2 lines in a parking stall.
The T495 is s special kind of disappointment (I have one too), but the fault is with AMD. Zen 1 mobile has extremely aggressive C-States and they essentially never clock down. Ryzenadj helps a bit, but not much.

I have a P14s Gen 1 from work now, that’s one gen ahead but an entire different league in battery life (and it wouldn’t cook your fingers on the palm rest)

Newer kernels have helped a bit too, much more than TLP, if you still have that device try Fedora on it.
Sounds reasonable, and a good way of looking at it. Thanks!
