Yo!

My time to shine. I'm a partner in a gym. I'm fit. I'm a full time software developer. People think I'm an athlete.

You're trying too hard. You need to develop a habit to get fit.

Consistency > intensity. Sooooo! Here is my tip.

Go to the gym. Win the day by doing really easy stuff. Everything should be easy. Then finish your session before you are tired or sore. Go get food. A shake is perfect. You need to win.

Do this 3x a week until you really enjoy going to the gym. Typically this is a month or so. You can get it going faster if you're doing this with a buddy.

I cannot stress this enough. Consistency is so much more important than intensity that it just isn't important to even think about intensity.

Thinking you will be fit by the end of the year is also a mistake. Fitness is a long term problem. Start now. Be consistent. A few years from now you'll be in a room and notice that you're fittest person in the room. Or you'll help someone move and you'll get tapped to move the heavy stuff, because obviously you'll do the heavy stuff.

People will claim "you're just fit". You'll know you're weak compared to other people. The game will just keep going.

If you want a program, you can't beat starting strength (no affiliation): https://startingstrength.com/get-started

For running. You're running too hard. Just run slower. I'm serious. Run so slow you feel like you're not running. Do 5km twice a week to start (Or even just walk 5km twice a week!). It builds from there if you just keep doing it.

When you're starting, just be weak and slow. You're putting the pressure on yourself and it wont pay off. Be consistent at all costs.

Good luck man.

I don't think anyone who is arguing against this capability, myself included, actually believes that it will only ever be used on photos destined for iCloud, especially if state authorities start pressuring Apple to start scanning everything.
I ordered a copy of SLS on floppy disk from a guy out in Seattle or Portland (I forget) via an ad in the back of Computer Shopper magazine in the early 90s. I installed it on a Tandy 1000 RSX (386SX 25Mhz) my parents had recently replaced with an IBM PS/2 Model 77 (with a 486DX2 50Mhz). I was obsessed with Linux almost immediately because I could compile and run some of the software that I had gotten used to using on the UNIX mainframe I dialed into at the university nearby to get SLIP internet access. Stuff like Gopher, PINE for mail, etc.

That experience pretty much cemented my love of computers and determined the trajectory of my life/career afterwards. In a lot of ways, Linux saved me from working construction with my dad in the small town I grew up in and allowed me to escape.
I make a habit of reading the headlines of at least three major news websites daily (Fox, CNN, NY Times), in addition to reading articles mostly on one. This doesn't mean I really know what's going on, but at least I know what people think is going on which seems to be as important these days. Oh, and of course HN.
I agree. It's a different animal that being just a developer at a consultancy. You are supporting other departments to become successful. If you are undeniably helpful people/departments/executives will know that. I personally do not care for credit at all for tasks accomplished. It's always the journey I find more rewarding. Give me my salary, benefits, opportunities to grow, etc... and Im good, but I know not everyone is like that, especially users on HN.
It would have been valuable to see the percentile distribution of latency, 99th, 99.999... max etc
Is this another electron app? Why? This is 100% doable in the browser and has been done before with other sites. Why do I need to spend 300MiB of ram to search for domain names?

Sorry to sound negative, it's just... the electron fad is getting really old.
Yes, I support this perspective. You will get the news anyway, whether you like it or not.
You asked for specifically left-leaning so I'll leave out all the usual wacko-right stuff. Most of this stuff is not left as in liberal, but is more left as in not right. Some of it is not news exactly, but content that is a barometer for where center and left thinking is trending.
- Moon of Alabama
- Glenn Greenwald
- No Mercy / No Malice
- Perception Indexed

I'd like to see your wacko-right content list, if you don't mind.
I can write (and am in fact developing right now) a music app in a non-GC language, with a real-time audio thread which (unless faced with unusual inputs like hundreds of simultaneous events) performs zero allocations or deallocations after initial startup. It acquires and releases all heap allocations from a wait-free queue between the audio thread and GUI thread.

If I were to port the app to C#, I have no way of telling the C# GC to never pause the audio thread, and to only pause the GUI thread. I'm not sure if it's possible for a tracing GC to coexist with a never-paused thread which owns manually memory-managed types, and for the two threads to exchange manually freed or GC'd objects without FFI boilerplate, serialization, or copying. If it exists (and there's a GUI framework written in the GC portion of the language), let me know!

Admittedly manual memory management does mean a lot more things to worry about (ranging from manual memory management to lock-free wait-free programming) Personally I find deterministic lifetimes and single ownership which can be moved/swapped to be elegant. However, Qt's QObject system combines the practical disadvantages of manual freeing (having to track complex semantics in your head, and check whether each method call transfers ownership or not, with leaks or use-after-free if you get it wrong) with the inelegance of GC (pervasive aliasing and mutability, unclear ownership, a magical runtime-like system).

With that out of the way, this is excellent and super impressive. I've always dreamed of a "video game magazine" which is a piece of software that lets you just play different interesting parts of retro games. Like these quotes bundled together with a bit of commentary to add structure.
For me, it's not the plastic casing or even the battery that seems the biggest waste, but their ICs.

It's not that it's polluting the environment that much, more that it's wasteful and creates a unnecessary demand in IC production when they are thrown away in perfect working order.
This is awesome. I need this.

Good video but definitely skip the memes next time. Bear in mind that you only have a few seconds to grab the viewer's attention. I skipped forward to the good stuff :)
Do you expect Google to go partisan war against Russian government?

Google already does this. It promotes opposition and western propaganda in the search results and YouTube.

If you're Russian and just register on YouTube, for the first few weeks you'll be flooded with videos of Navalny and his cronies.
This perspective is a tiny bit exaggerated, but not by much. You don't need the vast majority of the news, especially not at the rate it's published. If it's important, it will get to you. If you really need to stay informed, maybe check things out once a week, after the stories have been developed.

> North Korea's … Reactor was supplied by the Soviet Union.

In 2000, the Swiss company ABB signed a contract to deliver not one, but two nuclear reactors to North Korea.

Here's the bit that should drain anyone of all faith in politicians: Donald Rumsfeld was an ABB board member at the time.

I don't doubt that a new Hot Wheels car is inferior to one from 1968, but then they cost about a dollar in 1968.

Honestly I don't remember anyone having Matchbox cars. It's the kind of thing you'd own if you wanted a model of a dull green Austin saloon, plus you'd miss out on the whole orange track/racing angle.

Good news is that exercise will cause your body to produce feel-good hormones.

So as others already said - book time for yourself, every day, and do some exercise.

It will help with your burnout, and make you healthier at the same time.

Absolutely, very special. And the US's tried & tested (& one of its closest) mates, Australia, is becoming increasingly involved in the space of "space". :)

We've finally realized it's very important, & have setup systems similar to what exists in the US. Hopefully there'll be more & increasingly tighter collaboration, as the decades pass.
The French did offer to sell Australia nuclear subs in 2016, but Australia chose not to go with that option.
Great article. By the way, ActiveRecord's #merge is golden, and I'm under the impression it's not as mainstream as it should be.

I use it extensively to avoid duplicating scope code.

For instance:

class Listing

scope :active, -> { where("expired_at > ?", Date.current).where.not(suspended: true) }

end

class User

has_many :listings

end

So instead of doing this (which is terrible):

user.joins(:listings).distinct.where("listings.expired_at > ? AND listings.suspended != FALSE", Date.current)

You can simply:

user.joins(:listings).distinct.merge(Listing.active)

Rails docs are amazing, but #merge doesn't get enough love. Maybe I'll issue a pull request to improve it with some examples like this and the ones from the article.
It is normal that many people would sacrifice 1-5 mm of thikness for more battery and the ability to replace the battery... but this is not about preventing people to repair their phones, just that people hate to charge their phone daily and always keeping on eye on the battery.

However,many miners compete for a block, is this accounted for or is the number an average for the winning miner?

Nothing to excuse. Perfectly reasonable question.

I’m definitely somewhat OCD. Not sure that I’m really a “workaholic,” in the destructive sense, as I actually really enjoy doing this stuff, and frequently take breaks to do errands and chill out. I suspect a lot of folks would not find my lifestyle attractive, but it works for me.

I am a bit “on the spectrum,” which makes me an excellent architect and coder, but can cause issues with my interpersonal relationships.

A lot of what looks time-consuming in my code and writing, is actually the level of habit, and just “flows,” without my having to think about it. I write well, and quickly. It has been my experience, that I generally outpace my teammates (break time!).

I’ve been writing all my life, and I come from a fairly well-educated and literate family. My younger brother and I are the “redneck engineers.” Everyone else has Ivy-League sheepskins. My older brothers and sisters have all published books and papers, and whatnot.

As far as rewards go, I would have been happy to work with others. I spent most of my career, on teams. It has been my experience, though, that few people want to work with me, mainly because I'm "chronologically-challenged." Some folks have been quite blunt about it, while most have been fairly weasely.

Others actually don't want to write high-quality product. It's a deliberate decision to embrace mediocrity and "barely tolerable" quality. It may sound ridiculous, but they make money; sometimes, quite a bit. It's hard to argue with results. As long as consumers are willing to pay for poor quality, there will always be a plentiful supply of dross. It can be argued that my development methodology is not cost-effective. I won't lose any sleep over it. I'll do it for free.

Not a big deal. I really enjoy doing what I do, and I don't need anyone else's approval or support, if they aren't willing to give it. It sounds "arrogant" (and I have often been told that I'm "arrogant"), but it's actually just "confident." I don't think I'm God's Gift to Programming, but I know damn well that I am in the upper percentile. I'm aware of quite a few others that are better than me, and I look forward to continuing to learn, and be humbled by the challenges.

I've spent my entire life shipping software. I'm not exaggerating. Here is the first engineering project I ever did[0], [1] (Download PDFs). I architected it, designed the hardware and electronics, wrote the firmware OS, and the host drivers. My very first project was a top-to-bottom hardware/firmware/software design project. It was used in an ATE system for "DC-to-Light Super Bearcat Scanners," made by the company I worked for, back then (they would not be a big deal, these days). That company is long dead.

That same "on the spectrum" thing, means that I also work just fine, alone. I have to greatly reduce the scope of my work, but I can get quite a bit done, all on my lonesome. The project that I'm working on now, is an example. It's the kind of thing that usually is done by a team of engineers.

Ruby 3 being 3x faster is based on a video game emulation benchmark. Rails sites won't see anything like that. The ruby team chose a really specific benchmark to target and it's frustrating that it's not communicated well, leading to understandable misunderstandings.
Surprisingly, they still only cost about $1.
To second that, if your image is over 1MB in 2021, you are probably doing it wrong (unless selling high resolution images).
Ok fair enough I'd also definitely have to pass on dealing with that to an accountant but I more mean being able to work on it full time with no financial concern than chucking a milly after each idea

Also to clarify on the seeming heartless I sort of see things as being diluted when others work on them -- in a good way! -- for each person that adds to your thing it goes from mine to our. Long enough and big enough and it's more other people's creativity than yours. Your baby is all grown up and ready to do it's own thing

If I serve cloudflare images on my non-cloudflare hosted webpage, would the visitors still occasionally see the injected DDoS protection “checking your browser before accessing” page or would the images just fail to load then? Or is that browser checking disabled if just loading images?

That’s one reason why I haven’t checked out Cloudflare Pages, my (already statically hosted) website will unlikely be DDoSed and I wouldn’t want to impact user experience by adding random browser checks…

We don't have oil companies because shareholders like to pollute for fun. We have them to power refrigated trucks so that people can join enjoy seasonal grapes 365 days a year anywhere in the US. If an oil company gets shut down and people are unable to accept the quality of life decrease that comes with it, then they'll vote to open it back up again.
>Those two scenarios of yours are not really mutually exclusive

The difference between the slippery slope concern you're referencing and a willful conspiracy is significant to say the least.

This is why I first explicitly sought to clarify my GP's belief, which they emphatically confirmed as of the purposeful, malicious intent variety. In their view, COVID measures are merely a conspiracy, intended to transform the U.S. into an authoritarian state.

So, that's what my reply was addressing.
Until now.
I'm not sure I follow -- you tried topical antibiotics, it didn't work, you went to the doctor who recommended an oral antibiotic, you ignored that and tried a different topical antibiotic and it worked? What's your point exactly?
This is great advice. I’m an avid runner but joined a running club in town when I moved to suburbs from NYC. Just two weeks of track workouts made a huge difference and kept me on schedule and sense of accountability.
I think it comes down to if the company views your job as a cost center or a profit center.

Software developers at software companies/tech companies generate profits, so they are treated as such.

Software developers at more "traditional" businesses (retail, industry, manufacturing, etc) are often seen as an expense and something that should be treated like any other expense - try to minimize it.
As an addition to your request, I'd recommend reading some philosophy. If you want left-leaning, you can jump straight in with Marx, Foucault, and Judith Butler (some of my favorites), but you don't really need to.

I'd just recommend this because the news is useless without a meta-understanding of its purpose in public opinion, ideology, and power. If you want to skip dense philosophy readings, just make sure to ask yourself, "Who benefits from the story being told?" Try to seek out a large variety of sources in respect to this answer. The reason that this is hard though, I'll personally leave to Marx and Goldman.
It's even worse - 12h battery life wouldn't really be a problem if I could swap in a spare battery or choose to bulk up my device with a 100 watt hour battery.

Never seen that Brin stated he's patriot of Russia. Do you have any proofs?

Besides, arm who? Arm us, Russians to do what? Destroy our own country like e.g. Ukraine did?

So that western corporations destroy all the industry (suppress competition and create bigger market for western goods), destroy even agriculture (US and EU farmers would be happy to supply their food to a new market, keeping agriculture production in neo-colonies is not necessary)?

It all already happened in Ukraine, Georgia, to some lesser extent in Balitc states and Eastern Europe.

I really hope that our people are not stupid to fall into this trap.

1 Apple approved repairs cost more and Apple "encourages" you to buy a new device

2 most people don't have an Apple store near by, so it makes it even more expensive and time consuming to get your device fixed.

From 1 and 2 results Apple approved repairs are more expensive and time consuming where it results (obviously) with less repair happening results more e-waste.

In August 2020, there was a large, rare storm in California. It produced a lot of lightening, but very little actual rain. It produced 10,000 lightening strikes, with no rain to suppress the fires that resulted.

This storm transpired across the entire North-western region of the state, starting a half dozen 'complex' fires[0]. Complexes are multiple fires that join together to form one large fire. Any single one of these was devastating. Taken together, it's mind blowing.

I remember waking at about 4:00 AM on that Sunday (August 19th). Thunder woke me, and there was plenty of lightening. I dozed and each thunderclap woke me again. I kept waiting for the downpour to start, but it didn't. After about an hour of this, I remember thinking that fires must be starting somewhere. It wasn't long before I could smell smoke.

Agreed. Working out today and tomorrow is much better than working our extra hard today and then being too tired tomorrow.

We just need to align incentives. If externalities were factored into the cost of imported fruits for example, it wouldn't even be a problem. As it stands do you even know what the relative carbon cost of growing or importing an apple vs a watermelon is in your area? Do you know how to tell if a fruit is grown locally or not while standing at the supermarket? Do you think the average person can reasonably be expected to make those judgements?
Hydrogen has a much bigger hurdle: infrastructure. EVs need the same power lines that every country uses. Hydrogen (and natural gas, and oil, for that matter) require a second parallel set of infrastructure. That makes a big difference as far as appeal. If I'm India, I'd rather have a beefier electrical system than maintain an electrical system AND a hydrogen pipeline system.
I chuckle thinking about future sapient trash-pandas discovering human landfills and worshipping the Ancient Ones who very clearly created this bounty for them. "They were so prosperous they put boxes of food on every street corner for our early ancestors."
