Also sounds an awful like a planned economy lite. But I suppose they call that monetary policy.

"[...] "Scalpers perform a social service" [...] absurd point".

Do you mean that you think it's absurd but you don't disagree that scalpers perform a social service?
Even 16h-8h fast-feed periods are great for long-term health. Skipping breakfast with plain coffee for me have worked perfectly. Now I'll transition to a 8am-4pm feed period schedule, I've heard that it may improve sleep quality going with empty stomach to bed.
Not arguing that Go is a great fit to these niches, but imo java has a really great standard library, including these areas.
Thought this was lost forever, glad to see it back!
So long as wages for top politicians remain not top CEO-level (IMO causing corruption to make up for difficulty and investment made in getting into power) and countries compete in a race to the bottom for taxes and secrecy (which allows for such a system to exist) I really don't see the end of the offshore phenomenon. We really need to push our leaders to action on this issue. The global minimum tax initiative and corruption drives are a start. In my fantasy all-powerful yet noble leader of a country I'd go so far as embargos on nations and sanctions on wealthy individuals to discourage this tax cheating, alas. Shame on tax cheaters, you're stealing from your neighbours.
Then we're indeed back in the territory of useful use cases, typically characterized by data that is far bigger than the system memory.
I think this article is disingenuous, because not all things are difficult for all people. Some people really do work a few hours per week and still live a comfortable lifestyle, whether because they had a lot of help getting a comfy job (wealthy parents, lots of tutoring, nepotism, etc.) or maybe won the genetic lottery, while disadvantaged people may see it as not only difficult but maybe impossible to attain the same without any of that help. I think it comes down to inequality, not laziness.

I don't know what the solution is; inequality shows no signs of abating, disadvanted people find it difficult to get assistance, and there is a culture driven by articles like these that support the notion that "if you grind hard enough you'll succeed." Personally, I think we should be more sympathetic/empathetic to the plight of these people
Do you know about Robot Odyssey? Which was a same era sequel which took Rocky's boots up a level. Great game and even more the spiritual ancestor of this game it seems.
> why do you think it's outdated?

I don't know if 'outdated' is the right word. Maybe just not that useful, except as mind-candy?

It is mostly a computationally-focused reformulation of the Rapture.
I have posted this here before, but that was in 2015. So maybe another try, now that the game has improved significantly.

This is basically a simple RTS game that you play right in the browser. Created with JavaScript & Canvas using WebSockets.

If you have any questions, I'm happy to answer them.
Imagine you're making a web browser plugin that blocks ads, or malicious sites. Let's assume the blocklist is a hundred megs (easily fits in ram) and your millions of users need to get the latest data at least hourly in order to keep up with the latest URLs that you want to block.

Rather than distributing the entire blocklist to your userbase, you can instead send a bloom filter + an allowlist of the small handful of sites which have a hash collision with one of the blocked sites.

As a bonus, computing the hashes will have great branch prediction characteristics and you'll have fewer cache misses because the bloom filter is tiny and frequently accessed, so your plugin will not add any perceptible slowdown to the user's experience.

Many people suffer from clinical sleep disfunction (apnea for example) and don't know it.
> So I am also surprised at your experience. Most devs I know just wanna code.

Same here. Never heard of any developer wanting to be CEO of a big company. Typically startup, yes, but that's mostly for "independence" and doing something cool, faster, etc.
Yes, and you "break" the "fast" every morning.
> So what?

I think the difference is that "What constitutes necessary in art?" is pretty much a closed debate, as it's related to the nature of art, while for entertainment it's a bit different, as it's often (at least in that case it is) made for mass consumption. Since it's made for mass consumption, you can more easily argue about their moral responsibilities than with "art".

> The new question with the approved honest accurate words, not like that original agenda'd deceptive one, still stands.

It does, and I don't have a good answer to it.
None, of course. If any of these loopholes could be used by a significant fraction of the population, they would quickly be closed.
I've got some comment somewhere on HN that says exactly that "try CPU inference first, it's pretty good".

The need to reach for a T4 comes when someone is doing a big model on images or video and wants sub-second response time. (Think some of the stuff on Snapchat, etc.)
Because until relatively recently, storage was the most expensive architectural component and relational databases optimized for storage.
A Practical Method for Handling Endnotes in Text Files
I followed along to that book in Rust and found it excellent.
I've been poor and rich, insanely busy and idle.

Wealth removes the day to day stress, and that goes a long way. But it doesn't bring happiness itself.

Same with work. Idleness is fun for a short while, then awful. We all know too much work is awful.

Feeling like you have a purpose is the most important thing. I think the formula for happiness is something like: avoid poverty but recognize there are rapidly diminishing returns on wealth, don't be idle but work on something purposeful, if you cannot find purpose in work find it elsewhere.

Oh and take care of your body!
> Operating systems can statically map libraries.

I have "fond" memories of running perebaseall on cygwin that this sentence reminded me of.
Doing hard things improves you, but ultimately your personality is largely defined by the time you stop being a child. Industriousness is very much a personality dimension and it is very hard to change. Industriousness is a measure of how satisfied you are doing nothing. Highly industrious personalities are the most prevalent factor with success across the lifespan (in Western economies) and also seem less likely to develop in Western Democracies where life outlook is stable, nutrition is good and creativity encouraged. but the cause is currently a few avenues of speculation. Personality dimensions are mostly impossible to change meaningfully, but it seems psychadelics and traumatic brain injury seem to be the only two things capable of doing so on a permanent basis, but both have a high chance of causing negative/catastrophic consequences.
Also note that it did 20 hour fasts for a fruit fly. Fruit flies metabolism acts a bit quicker than humans, that would probably correspond to a multi day fast for a human.
Russia is not really testing devices per se anymore, they are preparing for mass production of hypersonic air breathing missiles. We don't know too much as for China.

No need to go that far, this site supports reader mode.

> Does this change require GNOME and/or Wayland?

PipeWire is not bound to Wayland or a specific desktop environment, it runs (mostly) fine under GNOME, KDE Plasma as well as sway. The desktop interfacing is done via flatpaks xdg-desktop-portal, as long as your desktop implements that you should be fine.

Maybe I just have a really big head but the AirPods Pro large tips felt fantastic to me, and are the first in ear headphones I’ve bought that don’t fall out of my ears.
The rich people I know are the ones who were lucky to be born I a place/social class where opportunities were available to them, and maybe they worked hard.

The first is a prerequisite. Hard work might be needed, but not always, specially if you are born in to a rich family.
There are a lot of things where I do think the "snobs" are full of hot air, like percolated coffee being bad and "burned" or vertical photos/videos being automatically wrong, but it's been night and day listening on some higher quality headphones compared to the bose or any of the other brands I used to have.
I’m not surprised that this was written by a self-described serial entrepreneur. It has all the hallmarks of a “capitalism isn’t all that bad, it turned out great for me!” type of view.

From a philosophical standpoint I do agree with the author that difficult, deep work is spiritually enriching. But most bullshit jobs that people work for their 9-5 are not that.

I think people are not sick of work in general, but rather are sick of that bullshit work. Working for subsistence, in a way that is obviously exploitative, to enrich corporate elites who actively seek to keep conditions worse for the working class. The grift is much more out in the open now than it used to be.

The conditions of the working class in America are not ordained by God, but rather maintained by the people who are heavily invested in keeping the system the way it is. We could have much more leisure time, like most other industrialized countries. We could have socialized healthcare, like most other industrialized countries. But we don’t, and when people get fed up with it, we got a slew of blog posts like this explaining that those grievances are all bullshit and they should just shut up and enjoy their work.
Since I've made my raspberry pi plant watering pump my indoor plants have be growing very consistency with much bigger leaves. It's also an added bonus that I don't have to worry about my plants when I'm traveling. To make things simple the pump is directly powered by the 5v usb port. The only downside right now is that since the pump is triggered by the usb port of the pi, by default the usb power is turned off, this is achieved by turning off the entire usb controller and turning it back up using a cron job when the plants need to be watered (3secs every 3 days). There is no setting to turn off the usb controller when the pi boots by default, it can only be turned off once the pi is fully booted. This is fine as long as the pi stays running. However, since in California we've been having power outages, which cause the pi to reboot and water the plants for an extra 10 seconds or so every time.
He literally prefaced it with “Anecdotal:”.
I do not live in the US, it seems rather different over there. But I was actually talking about people who inherited millions and because of lack of life goals etc they ended up dead (suicides), addicts, in jail etc. I do not know if you can judge their tier of unhappiness or if it is a contest: they squandered the life of ease they were given but they are genuinely unhappy: if you want to put a comparison scale on that, that is fine. I said anecdotal and I didn't exactly grow up in a cocoon so no need for the reading advice: I do understand that I live in the first world and so do the people that I know: life can be much worse, I know.
Not trying to be snarky here but is 16pm supposed to be 6pm? 14 hour fast?

Well, growing seeds definitely requires more efforts and care, for instance I had 3 or 4 failed attempts with extremely vulnerable tobacco seed, which was very counter-intuitive since adult plants are quite sturdy. Pea seeds are ultra-sturdy, that's why you succeed.

BTW, seeds would like to have some assistance, like soaking them before planting, then planting them at fake soil (eg. wet cotton wool)

Also, I highly recommend peat bricks for seedlings like https://www.growbarato.net/24393-large_default/peat-foam-eco...
> It’s been 12 years next month.

Since being announced, ~9 since 1.0.

For comparison of some other currently popular languages (above it on the Tiobe Index), time from 1.0 (or something similar where typical modern versioning isn't applicable) is: Python 27 years, JavaScript 24 years, C 43 years (from K&R, realistically might count 1.0 earlier), C++ 36 years, Java 25 years, C# 19 years, Ruby 19 years, VB.Net 20 years, classic VB 30 years, Groovy 14 years.

Go is a relatively new language. Not quite as young as Rust, but young for an industrially-popular language.
Stop Making Career Limiting Mistakes by Improving Emotional Intelligence
Totally agree with taking care of the body. It's damn hard, but pays dividends as you age.
These people that want to live in their 80s or beyond boggle me. Who wants to stick around that long when you have so many contemporaneous failures of the body all crashing down on you? Better to just die catastrophically in your early to mid 70s and save yourself a drab decade or two.
I feel you. My son may be in this position one day. Don’t give up on it! I’ve kept multiple peace lilies in offices and homes for years. They are dramatic, but also forgiving. What you’ve done so far sounds helpful. I’d suggest:

* More light, but indirect. They like well-lit rooms as long as the sun doesn’t shine on them. They do like 70º better than 90º.
* Let the soil dry a little between waterings. Stick your finger in the soil to see if it’s damp. If it is, water in a few days.
* It’s ok to overwater them until water runs through the pot, but be sure the pot doesn’t sit in that water.
* Prune off all the dead material. The blooms always look disgusting when they die.

Lastly, get it a friend or two. Get another couple peace lilies and care for them the same way. It’ll help you understand how they behave.

I do for Fedora packages I maintain. There can be false positives, like on symbols that shouldn't be exported, but you can look at the API to start with. (The library author should do that, of course.)
This looks cool. How much SpotML-specific code is needed to target SpotML? I'm assuming it doesn't just magically detect the training loop in an existing pytorch codebase and needs hooks implemented for resume, inference, error handling, etc.
I have the note 3 and I adore it. It's much bigger than a Kindle, which makes reading PDFs possible, and its perfect for longform articles and ebooks.

The software keyboard kind of sucks, but i don't use it for any real writing. I would reach for a Bluetooth keyboard for that.
You hit the nail on the head. This is 100% correct.
I should add that industriousness is loosely conversely correlated with IQ (which is strongly correlated with Openness, effectively a measure of creativity). In this sense - people with good IQ, but off the charts Industriousness occupy all the top spots in the most demanding businesses. IQ is slightly more important than industriousness in academic success, but industriousness in a high amount is a close second, with other traits not coming close to being utterly critical.
> Funny what we call eating in the morning then,

Sure, but ostensibly we're not eating right before bed.

If dinner is at 7 or 8 and breakfast is at 7 or 8 that's 50% more time than an equal meal distribution throughout the day.
I’m guessing it’s actually 4pm — 24h number incorrectly written with a pm.

Yes - I have the same issue where one ear canal is smaller.

When you say "over-ear" I assume you mean traditional over ear headphones with a strap. And yes, I have a decent pair, but they are big and not good for a number of common situations:

1. Lifting weights at the gym - when I lie down on a bench they fall off.

2. When I am out jogging, they bounce around too much and get very sweaty in hot weather.

3. In cold or sunny weather, I can't wear a hat with them.
‘Email is a zombie that keeps rising from the dead’: the pursuit of Inbox Zero

Soft-pitch. We buy cycles on some advanced text-to-speech service, do some ML training or whatever, and make a device that can watch your plant and then conversationally answer questions about its health esp hydration

Yes yes I know there are soil probes or whatever for $25 but I need you to have _vision_ here. Vernor Vinge's _A Fire upon the Deep_ was trending on HN this very day. It features murderous talking AI-enhanced plants. Coincidence? Ha! The market is ready.

It behooves -- BEHOOVES -- us to answer the timeless question: What if your plant was like able to talk to you, answer questions, and buy things for you that you mention in passing conversation?

Sentiment for our green children is often high, and this makes any prospective marketing and/or suggestion much stickier.

It's not an enormous corporation asking you to buy something. It's your lil buddy that you overwatered yesterday. Do it a solid. You owe it.

EXPECTED RESULT:

That's true for Bitcoin, which its blockchain by design is open to everyone. Unfortunately, Monero seems to be the preferred cryptocurrency in this space, and tracking Monero is purposely hard.

Objectively not wrong, but self-evidently relative. Of course, if you somehow believe an entire society of exploiters is coherent, then maybe it seems rational to think hard work can infinitely “pay off.” But if you account for the need of exploiters to have somebody to exploit, then the idea doesn’t seem so sound.
I believe when heartbleed happened quite a bunch of go progams were yoinking in openssl because the go ssl tooling was still relatively young.

I have no idea what actually happened there, I just recall some moderately annoyed sysadmins figuring out how to rebuild go applications by developers who'd since left the company.

(this is not a shot at go, this is merely a "there might already be -some- data out there" wrt your question)

Mark Roberge on “Science of Scaling” – SaaStr Annual 2021
One of the primary issues with graph databases is that they don't scale no matter how much money you throw at them. Many organizations quickly hit a very hard scaling wall with graph databases, and no amount of effort will resolve it. Money doesn't make hard computer science problems disappear.

The US military has been willing to write a blank check to anyone that builds a graph database that actually scales for decades. No one has collected on that.
I think the roadmap to 2030 is fine: the infrastructure will take time to build and only the richest countries will be able to run majority of EVs on roads by then, unless they become super cheap. Even in the US, it will take ages for EVs to overtake CE because an average person can't afford EVs and will continue to drive their petrol cars for some years.
Lifetime happiness is a poor goal, but it seems that over a wide variety of of sources that a stable and successful family brings far greater meaning and fulfilment than any career can offer, which should be a priority.
Generally: because complexity never goes away, it just finds a different spot to be solved in. The RDBMS is mostly 'just there' from the perspective of the average programmer, and solving a problem related to databases is more of an ORM library issue than a programmer's issue. Let's not forget that most software programming tends to be various CRUD incarnations and UI fluff, not complex problem solving and scientific engineering. Due to the massive scale and volume of this type of work, the available databases and mindshare is just not there for most other types to succeed.

A difference can be found in mostly-frontend data storage and retrieval applications were storing information is actually abstracted into a SaaS RESTful API or GraphQL API and you never get to talk to the underlying database. Another one is where a library or framework requires something like ElasticSearch or MongoDB to work. This isn't because they are inherently 'better', but because that's just what the README.md in the repo happened to say when a developer came along to make use of the framework or library that fulfilled some generic functionality.

If you think about it, most semi-complex implementation details in general software you encounter turn out to be low-quality re-implementations of state machines, graphs, hashmaps and printf. A lot of the world runs on this type of stuff and makes a lot of money from it. (doesn't mean it's high quality software or that sound engineering choices were made - sometimes it's just standard components, availability of people and technology and a time-money tradeoff)
