This looks very nice, but the compiler version requirement is very painful for those of us working on machines installed more than a year ago... GCC 10, ouch. I mean, newer versions are great, but when you don't control your machine's OS distribution, installing GCC 10 is not the most trivial thing to do.
Shouldn't each time zone, or definition within, have a time domain given for when the definition is valid?

Even within a single timezone, dst dates have changed, sometimes differently for different places within the same timezone.

DST start/stop dates have changed multiple times in the last couple of decades, so even if pre-1970 isn't a common use, it seems the method for dealing with it would already be required.
Where Did the Big Bang Happen?
Yeah, I buy that.
The same could be said about electronic health record software generally.

Electronic healthcare data as a phenomenon isn't going anywhere; it will only get bigger, and individuals stand to benefit tremendously from this fact as it will make early diagnoses and getting the right care at the right time more likely.

Rather than panic when we find out that another company will be handling healthcare data, we need to set high standards for engineering, security, user consent, and privacy expectations for companies working in this area.
> They simply had no other choice

Why give them a choice now? They will still be able to stay in business and make great cars. They will be called Ferrari by them and the rest of the world. Some whining over them no longer being "real" Ferrari or Italian can be and has been ignored.

Job loss over no longer being competitive with current / coming tech is a real problem. But I feel politics should not step in to protect obsolete tech, rather they should help stear away from it and support innovation.
The data could tell you something, though. It couldn't diagnose, or offer a solution.
On the surface looks like an improvement over htop ( which I've been using for 10+ years )

But this is the kind of software that I would want to keep using. Will btop keep being supported? Is btop going to be available in practically all distros I use? Even currently on Arch its only in the AUR.

Its also concerning there is btop[0] and bpytop[1]? I don't understand the difference.

Lisp is does not stand for generic 'List Processing', but for 'List Processor' -> a specific formalism to process lists.

There is a specific minimal core of Lisp, which consists of a certain minimal set of data structures, operations and an evaluation mechanism.

An early version is described here:

Yeah, grex (the library powering this) is really cool, but doesn’t generalize very well. I’m sure there are ways to improve it, but it’s not a trivial thing to do.

OK, you lost me 15 minutes, possibly more soon. What is this?
recursive has hit the nail on the head when it comes to your time expense (don't forget to account for the opportunity cost here). Programming is a craft. As with any other craft (carpentry, plumbing), you will take a solid few years to get reasonably good at it. This is assuming you get into a good place where you can be an apprentice who has good teachers to learn from. If that's not the case, then you will have to give yourself even more time to become good, let's say six years. Now you are past 40, and are looking at recruiters who are (a) looking to lowball you and (b) expecting you to have a great deal of expertise, both at the same time. Assuming this doesn't completely demoralize you, you are still only at a mid-junior level after all this effort, not to mention the loss of income and career opportunities in banking.

Banking pays well. If you need the income, you are better off sticking to it, because the pay differential and loss of opportunity cost just don't justify getting into this industry.

My experience was similar. I opened a public SSH once and there were many unsuccessful login attempts. The way we resolved it was by installing VPN and closing the IP for public access.
Interesting stuff. I understand the approach from a deployment perspective (makes it much easier to support multiple platforms), but I still hate the idea of basically having 300+ MiB of duplicated data on my drive.

> That's Empire building/colonialism right there.

I disagree, but even if it were... so what? There is no law anywhere against attempting to increase the size and scope of an individual or organization's power and influence.

What I have suggested is aimed to solve the problem of a vast and longstanding over-representation by a minority holding the majority hostage, to balance out the misrepresentation of the electorate. Republican senators haven’t represented a majority of the U.S. population since 1996 and haven’t together won a majority of Senate votes since 1998. Yet the GOP controlled the Senate from 1995 through 2007 (with a brief interregnum in 2001–02) and again from 2015 until 2021.

Sorry, but what the GOP has done and continues to do is precisely empire building. Say the residents of Washington DC and Puerto Rico, all US citizens who have no representation in the US Senate, decided to move into Wyoming and Montana and establish residency, the US Constitution guarantees their right to do that under the Privileges and Immunity Clause, which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." The courts have judicially recognized this as a fundamental Constitutional right.

> That is a group of people organizing to displace and disenfranchise the native residents of another place

What? No sir, it is an exercise of US Constitutional rights no different from exercising 1st Amendment Rights, the freedom of assembly and freedom of association. You're claim is false that this would disenfranchise anyone, because all their rights remain intact And, what native residents? The only native residents in the United States are Native Americans, Alaska Natives and Latinos.

> What you suggest would be nothing less than something capable of disrupting the freedom of movement in the United States...

No, it is an exercise of that freedom guaranteed by the US Constitution and the constitutions of every state in the union, as well as the Supreme Court.

What you're talking about and defending is Communism and Fascism. We don't particularly care for that kind of thing here in my United States of America.
Protests are okay. Riots should just cause more arrests and sentences. It's got to have some cutoff, isn't it?

But a database with historical changes over time would resolve that. Isn't that part of the argument?

Technically there's no reason an EV Miata couldn't have a manual transmission, it's just that auto manufacturers so far have largely decided they'd rather just opt for a more powerful motor than deal with the drive train complexity, weight, and friction losses of a transmission.

I don't expect Mazda to make a manual transmission EV Miata but it's something they could do if they really wanted to.

That’s just not how housing works. A unit of housing has to be vacant between residents to be repaired, and periodically updated. Leasing a full building often takes a full year. People have existing leases and mortgages. At time you may have a mismatch between types and locations of units and what people looking for housing need. There are all kinds of reasons a unit can be temporarily empty.

The 16k units you’re citing won’t stay empty for long, but other units in the system will go temporarily unfilled. This is necessary for a functional housing market. In order for prices to decline you need a vacancy rate of more than 5%. Prices will continue to rise even at 4% vacancy.

The economics here are well studied and well established. Housing economists broadly agree.

If there’s anything that markers are great at doing, it’s producing lots of stuff at decreasing marginal cost. Housing is no different.

A lot of old video games with impressive graphics were implemented sort of like that. Rather than storing bitmap data, the algorithm to render the artwork would be executed on the fly. It was actually faster than doing otherwise, since hard drives were so slow and the algorithm itself could fit in ram.

Tangentially related is the crash bandicoot game on the playstation. The developers figured out that untextured polygons were way faster to draw than textured polygons, and so they made the player character model out of tons of
tiny colored polygons rather than fewer larger textured polygons. The result was a significantly better looking graphic for the same rendering time.
> houses with yards are incompatible with dense cities and low housing prices

Ever been out east? Row housing is dense, but has a yard and is suitable for families in a way that a condo can never be.

> If you dropped the rent control, developers would be more likely to build apartments, with the possible result that rent might go down.

We're BARELY rent controlled. Kick your tenant out and find a new one, boom you can double the rent. Technically illegal, but done constantly. If you really want to make it legit you can do a minor reno.

> rents are actually pretty low in Vancouver

Unfortunately I can't live in Seattle, and that seems like a disingenuous apples-to-oranges comparison. Because of the border/citizenship issue, those are separate markets. https://bc.ctvnews.ca/vancouver-s-rental-rates-are-the-highe...
I've noticed a similar pattern at $JOB - we started doing a daily "WFH status call" in early April last year. There was nothing like it previously, just a weekly report on important bugs, support items, etc. that we worked on. And the occasional (less than weekly) meeting which would include the PM and dev team.

The calls started out shorter but over time they've become a hybrid of:

- "Here's the outlay for today." The shortest are just this which only happens when things are going smoothly and everyone's tackling things of moderate difficulty.

- "Here's something that's been giving me trouble" which prompts a few minutes discussion. Usually someone has a idea to pitch in which gets the person unstuck, but it can bleed into...

- "I wanted to bring up this thing I noticed" which pulls us into a bigger half-hour discussion with some possible followups scheduled with the more senior members.

So at the extremes, any given instance of this meeting could last from 10 minutes to 45 minutes.

We usually refer to this as a "stand-up" but I could see how someone from a more regimented team would understand it to be something with a more tightly defined purpose.

Has there been any indication that health data and the associated sensitive information are leaving the device without the user's consent? They would run afoul of quite a lot of laws and regulations in all western jurisdictions the moment they do that.

AFAIK, except when you enrol in a study, none of that depends on network access.
Everything would be a different paradigm than we have now. Security, auth, sharing; we can only imagine how things would shift if we turned the model we have on its head. Super cookie? ISP is a private VPN proivder now.

Cookies are a good example. That browsers give up a cookie at all—who consented to this specification? GDPR could have changed browser specs so that cookies were truly opt-in; it regulates company behavior instead, which is weak.

Fundamentally, our choices are being made for us at the protocol level, and everything we have as a result is emergent, and so people argue about regulating the emergent properties.
Read the white paper about bitcoin. Does it say anything about it being an investment, guaranteeing stability of exchanging rates to fiat, providing interest, or any appreciation? I'll be waiting for you to cite that.

There's a lot of disingenuous people out there, that for some reason believe bitcoin or other cryptos are "investments." I guess they missed that they are called crypto-CURRENCIES and not crypto-investments. And then they get upset that they are not, and go on to berate a currency for not being an investment. It's fine to be upset at any swindlers calling a zero-sum or negative-sum game like most crypto an investment, but if you actually read the white papers many cryptos make no such claims.

And there are certainty people telling you that you can get rich off dollars, just look at the FOREX trading peddlers telling you to get rich by trading fiat and leveraging fiat exchanges. I don't attack dollars for that!

And yeah, you can apply your idea to dollars, because one of the biggest way for the government to profit off of dollars is to print more out of thin air, therefore debasing the "investment" of the rest of the dollar holders. You can choose to not apply the idea to dollars, and rather bury your head in the sand if you like, that's your prerogative.

Ah, the blessings of the Google-free Android experience get proven once again by this counterexample of Google - or rather those working for Google who are in control these feeds - pushing their agenda onto unsuspecting (...?) victims.

May I suggest removing whatever stock distribution you have and replacing it with e.g. LineageOS, doing away with Google services - use microG [1] et al if you need something which depends on them - and dropping whatever "news aggregator" feed is offered by third parties? Use something like Nextcloud News [2] and add the feeds for a number of publications, both corporate as well as alternative, from all sides of the political spectrum. Compare how events are reported between them and form your own conclusions. Also give up on the hope of non-political culture reporting from corporate media, this seems to be one of the most heavily politicised areas with nearly all publications slanted towards the "left" side of the political spectrum.

One downside I've observed from focusing on DX: We have too many single page apps / Jamstack sites, where the default is to send the entire application in Javascript bundles, and do little to no HTML over the wire. This is inherently bad for performance and especially bad for mobile. It's why the Jamstack mascot is the loading spinner.

The much better solution, SSR first with optional client hydration, takes more developer work and more cognitive overhead. It's much easier to write a React application and not worry about server side specific data fetching to do universal rendering, even though that's the strongest option for performance. Next.js is bringing us closer to the DX of enabling SSR first by default, but it's not there yet and many people use Next.js only for SPAs or static rendering, and miss the point that its main power is universal/SSR.

My main takeaway is that DX is important when it introduces the right abstractions that are also end user focused.
Which is exactly what's gonna happen to the permafrost in Siberia, yet that's apparently "good" for Russia? Why wouldn't it also be good for the US in Alaska?

Or could it rather be that this "Climate change good for Russia!" talk is just the same old American jingoism merely adopting modern environmentalism?

Why would Russia be the only country for which climate change is "good"?

I am in my mid fifties and programming steadily for ever. It is a very fun and creative job, enough market demand that I was a good parent. You do have to/get to learn new stuff all the time. There are certain types of green fields programming that is possibly less common now than when I was younger, but I get to teach other people good skills while they crank it out, and I get the knotty problems to solve, or the risky changes that people tend to be leery of. Salary wise, if you are happy with your career I wouldn’t change just for money, but if you like intellectually stimulating work that makes a difference and is in demand, programming is that. There is is some age discrimination but it’s really more salary discrimination. The older you are the more money you earn, and when they do layoffs or whatever, the higher salary makes people targets. People get pissed but none of my friends haven’t gotten a new position.

But AFAICT this author's prowess in the field you defined is no more or less than a mastery of that singular skill.

For the author to be a "Mozart" (as in the historical figure, not the myth[1]) you'd need to show a richness of the author's approaches that makes the reader aware of the challenges of and breadth of the field. Something like this:

* the brute force justification of monospaced text by creative word choices

Oops, wait...

* the brute force justification of monospaced text by creative word choices which follow a rhyming scheme

Oops, wait...

* the brute force justification of monospaced text by creative word choices which follow a (line-based and paragraph-based) rhyming scheme

Oops, wait...

* the brute force justification of monospaced text by creative word choices which follow an intricate rhyming scheme where certain paragraphs are mashups of archaic German verse and 1970s gospel lyrics

Oops, wait... there are also some patterns of words where the pattern is written twice, but punctuation was inserted in a seemingly arbitrary place so that I didn't even notice the repetition on the first reading. Something like, "One two three four one. Two three four." Except each sentence was grammatically and contextually correct. Mozart did stuff like that-- there's an example somewhere in the clarinet concerto but I can't remember where.

1: I mean, there's no law against using the mythical Mozart here. But I imagine we'd be trolled by HN'ers if we did that regularly with, say, von Neumann or Einstein.
The commas give it the right rhythm I believe. I can only hear French though, maybe because I never heard the English version.
Ha, I thought the author was intentionally writing the python in all-caps to highlight the similarity in syntax to the alternative language (not being familiar with Nim, I figured it must be conventional there). I was going to post a comment expressing my surprise that was even legal.

I guess I didn’t communicate my points clearly either. I don’t fully buy the hypothesis of the statement that purple is “close” to red. You’re explaining the answer to a question that I’m not convinced is even valid. The first question to answer is: “Is purple close to red?” What does that mean, exactly? Why is this question being asked, what is surprising about purple being close to red? Why aren’t people asking why yellow is close to red?

The other point I’m making is that while you’re correct that the left hump is not required logically to explain that a mix of red and blue is close to red, that doesn’t mean you can dismiss it. The human perception of red and blue have a more cyclic connection than between green and blue, precisely because our red response has a bump that overlaps the blue range, and green doesn’t.

Physical color does not have a cyclic nature. Short wavelengths do not turn into long wavelengths. Human color perception is perhaps cyclic in a way, but you haven’t defined clearly what you mean by “cyclic”. That’s really my main nit pick with what you’re saying.

I agree that most purples are a physical mixture of red and blue wavelengths, or a mixture of red and blue responses. The interesting purple in this discussion is the one that’s not a mixture of wavelengths, but a violet (pure blue) that elicits a mixture of red & blue cone response. That one is due to the red cone’s left hump. Said another way, any so-called “cyclic” connection between red and blue absolutely is increased by the presence of the left hump.

Or said a third way, the only reason that the violet in a rainbow is perceived as a mix that is partly red - the only reason your explanation applies here in the first place - is because the left hump exists. If the left hump didn’t exist, then we wouldn’t be perceiving a mix of red and blue, we would be perceiving only blue… and then violet would feel further away from red than it does now.

Talking about how monitors display purple does not do a good job of clarifying the questions about purple, that isn’t a good example or analogy, IMO, because monitors cannot represent pure single-wavelength colors, they are three-primary emitters. It’s well known that there are visible colors, shades of violets, blues and reds that RGB monitors cannot display - which I think is very relevant to the question of the perception of purple. The spectra (& luminance) range of monitors is not limited because they cover all perceivable possibilities, they’re limited for more practical reasons of cost and for covering most (but not all) use cases for most (but not all) people.
