Tweet from Flexport CEO about what's currently happening at Long Beach ports.

https://mobile.twitter.com/typesfast/status/1450904056365404...

Seems there's a bottleneck because trucks aren't picking up containers from the port. They're running out of room in the yard to unload the container ships.

The tweet explicitly says that the Port is not slowing anything down and that they want more shifts.

Rail deliveries are on schedule.

At the end of that episode, after being tracked into a genius school due to cheating on his intelligence test, Bart confesses that he's "just a regular dumb kid," and begs to go back to regular school. So I'm not sure it's making the point you intend.

In case of a home-grown code, it could be simply the question of a programmer awareness. There are still many outdated and/or unfinished tutorials that use WinAPI without any concern about enabling Unicode and wide chars support.

If we are talking about ready game engines like Unity and Unreal... it is probably a naive assumption about input being 1 byte wide and things getting lost because of that in some gamedev-made script.

I am very confused by these claims on M1's GPU performance. I build a WebXR app at work that runs at 120hz on the Quest 2, 90hz on my Pixel 5, and 90hz on my Window 10 desktop with an RTX 2080 with the Samsung Odyssey+ and a 4K display at the same time. And these are just the native refresh rates, you can't run any faster with the way VR rendering is done in the browser. But on my M1 Mac Mini, I get 20hz on a single, 4K screen.

My app doesn't do a lot. It displays high resolution photospheres, performs some teleconferencing, and renders spatialized audio. And like I said, it screams on Snapdragon 865-class hardware.
"Not as enthusiastic over automated terminals like LBCT have been the 15,000 longshore workers, including part-time casuals, who man the docks in the Ports of Los Angeles and Long Beach, the busiest and second busiest in the nation, respectively.

Terminal automation poses big changes — and likely some job losses — in those dockworker ranks.

LBCT, for example, features remotely run electric cranes gliding back and forth and a computer-controlled stacking system. Multiple containers can be handled by the cranes at one time."

The OP wants to avoid censorship. They did not mention wanting anonymity.

For example I used to shoot a lot of artistic nude photography. I published the work under my own name.

I had no desire to hide my name, and thus my primary concern were using platforms that allowed my content.

Now of course some people will want to publish their work anonymously. But free speech does not require anonymity.
So how does recycling revert this back to the original structure? Is it just basically melting it?
I don’t need to have the escort experience to know it sucks. Not only have I had close friends that did (there was a group at Google that started out as typical virgin nerds and dabbled in high class escorts) but reading those escort testimonials should make it more than clear that the forced for-money experience is far inferior to actual sexual chemistry.

North America has gotten off easy by pushing the training onto pilots themselves.

If banning leaded gas leads to qualified pilot shortage, the industry only has itself to blame for failing to train the people it needs.

Lufthansa at least (and maybe most big euro flag carriers?) runs its own “ab initio” training, where it takes non-pilots and makes them into pilots with a job.

Lufthansa has warned cadets they won’t need to hire for a few years: https://www.businessinsider.com/in-crisis-lufthansa-restruct...

Not sure if there’s a shortage of skilled pilots today as flight counts are still down like 20% in USA vs 2019, and generally a sharper decline elsewhere.

Not a bad idea at all. I'm sure we can tackle that. I actually played around with another concept as well which is using the Sun's location as our reference instead of UTC. This then gives our solar system a unified time, not only Earth. It's an incomplete concept still. I have it here in this blog post https://medium.com/adventures-in-consumer-technology/introdu...
Would love to hear what you think.
Eh… it’s pretty useful if you want to do deep learning. I would also consider a strong facility with concepts like of rates of change / derivatives and aggregation / integration to be a an important practical skill.

Imo, they we should be teaching basic linear algebra before calculus. Multiplying vectors and matrices by hand gives a very good feel for how integrals work.

I'm soon going to pick up a kid who is in the gifted program at a public school. From my POV -

Overall I think there's a lot to be said for removing 'gifted' classes from elementary schools. Start in middle school ( 6th grade here ) and have advanced classes in each subject for students who qualify. It removes the connotation of 'gifted' and allows room for kids to excel in a single subject. I know a lot of bright kids who did _not_ get into the gifted class and I'm not sure it's fair to make them feel like academic failures at the age of 8.

Also, even at 8 there's competition. It's not hard to get study guides for the GATE tests.

That said, there are a lot of advantages to being in the gifted classroom that it would be hard to extend to every class. There's always going to be below average kids as well as above average kids - in the gifted classes they can move rapidly and not worry about leaving anyone behind.

You also get more involved parents with higher expectations. I had a parent in a 'regular' class say to me "Wow, you get a lot of communication from your teacher! Ours never tells us anything but <shrug> the kids seem happy". That wouldn't fly in the gifted class.

It's hard. I don't know what the answer is
Well put.

But I wouldn't waste much more time replying to this person, because they were recently asking HN for advice on how to use software to write a lawsuit they're self-litigating. Fifty bucks says it's some "MUH FREEDUHM" anti-mask/vaccine requirement lawsuit.

That's an interesting take, but I have a question for you: which is better, benefiting society by benefiting the greatest number of students, or benefiting society by perhaps spending a little extra on our Einsteins and a little less on our bozos?

Society reaps greater benefit from its outliers. I am not sure starving them of education in the name of equality is the way to go for anything but mediocrity. A very fair mediocrity, mind you, but still mediocre.

And after all, we want equality of opportunity and equality of outcome, no matter what; to see any other result would be viewed as evidence of a systemic -ism. This is perhaps the reason behind the shuffle of the last few years from equality to equity.

> but they can't dedicate the same headcount to making their platform healthier

A FB recruiter contacted me a few years ago to ask me about leading a "new anti-abuse team." At the time, I merely had a bad taste in my mouth for the company, but I figured if they were trying to combat abuse, it was worthy of having a conversation.

TLDR, the interview was a standard normal ML loop with no talk about abuse reduction. When I brought it up, they just talked up my experience and wanted to focus on that. Nice bait-and-switch. One interviewer raved about how awesome it was that he got to do ML at work (??), and it was all in video recommendations to keep eyeballs on the site.

That was a big (but not the biggest) turning point for me in my perspective of the company. I'm convinced they don't intrinsically care to fix the problems of abuse, and we need regulation to make them extrinsically motivated.
Or zgenom[0]. Or if you want to get ESPECIALLY froggy and async with your shell startup, zinit[1]. I ran zinit for years before moving to zgenom. A large swath of electron apps use some weird NPM library to “resolve” your shell environment by kicking up a full interactive shell and then reading the environment variables out of it. zinit messed with that and would hang a lot because of all it’s async loading.

Avoiding unicode, or anything but 7-bit ASCII is like using chiseling text into a stone instead of pen and paper because the pen might break. Fix the pen! Or replace it with a computer (and we're back full circle)!

It is not morally objectionable avoiding, it's just stupid.
Ports are national infrastructure. The current mess is one of the few times I'd actually be in favor of nationalizing them until the current crisis blows over. Hell, I'd be ok with us building 21st century 'mulberry harbors' if it got things under control. The president should go off on them like Reagan did with the air traffic controllers.
Education the population is bringing the best in every student. For every subject, there are some students with a best better than the best of other students. We need to learn to live with it.
There is a big difference between things like focused forums / discussion boards and social media. On HN and Reddit I engage with people about specific topics we have shared interests in.

I have to say, I use fish and I customize my prompt... is starship really necessary? I recognize starship is cross-shell, but if I standardize on installing fish on my machines, I'm not sure I need that feature.

Is there a "killer app" for starship that you can't get from writing out your prompt in a fish shell script?

Here's mine: https://github.com/maximum-ethics/linode-caddy/blob/master/r...

It's a 3-line prompt with a timestamp on the first line, my username@host + pwd on the 2nd line, and the actual prompt with the cursor on the 3rd line. I'm now considering swapping the timestamp to the right side after that possibility was mentioned in other comments in this thread.
YouTube and Twitter both have wrong parameters. Presumably this means all major browsers ignore them or someone would have noticed their favicons not displaying right?

The most ridiculous thing is the UI for setting the password even said "X-Y characters long, must include at least one..." but the login page could not support Y characters.
Very similar problem to one described started my exodus from Google services.

I also have non-latin characters in my name however I knew it was always an issue so I never used it in paths etc.

At some point, long time ago, I was tasked to do some maintance with Google Cloud service (can't remember the name of the service now) which was doable only through Python CLI utility and it failed with very similar Python error.

What I found out rather quickly is that utility took my name from Google+ profile, which did include those non-latin characters. No biggie - I thought and fired e-mail to support (yeah it was those times it was still that easy). Few hours passed and I received information that this won't be fixed anytime soon and the best course of action would be to change my name.

Of course, support person probably meant to remove the diacriticals from my Google+ profiles, but still it left unplesant aftertaste for years to come.
The first recipients were new car buyers. Hardly the working poor.

You could argue those buying new cars bought clunkers from the working poor for their above-market trade-in value, but that only works for the poor if they didn’t need to replace that clunker because everything used went up in price.
> I know that others have similar feelings. Being called gifted and special messes with your psyche almost like being called inferior.

This is not a direct problem of gifted programs or gifted kids — it’s a problem of unreasonable expectations about what gifted means.

It’s not an issue of “deserving” anything. Being gifted is as much a curse as a blessing. Furthermore, being gifted is typically negatively correlated with success in aggregate (average income decreases as iq increases past about 140-150 or so).

There is an idea that occasionally bounces around (iirc, I first read it in the book Greatness in grad school) that folks with a certain IQ differential (+/-20 to +/-30 is the range I usually see) fundamentally perceive the world in a different way. This often leads to communication breakdown since two people can be talking about the same thing from very different baselines.

The beauty of gifted programs, imho, is that you are able to put together these people who perceive the world very differently than most of their peers.

On a personal level, this was incredibly calming. All of a sudden, not only was my perspective on the world not unique, but my peers were able to extend and expand on my perspectives. Furthermore, I was able to reciprocate. Most/all of my peers (we had a separate high school) felt the same, and we intensely missed that environment after leaving high school despite many of us going to very elite schools.

Gifted programs, when done well, are a great place for genius to develop and grow. Forcing these gifted kids into classes with few or no gifted peers is, to me, like capping the high-end potential of your society.

I'll bet the efficiency ratings look a lot better if you account for environmental damage, workers' safety and other externalities of running a port.
It's not out of the box thinking. The problem is that you want to throw one of the values out of the calculation box. You want billionaires to provide capital because there is 'no other way to get a startup going (paraphrasing)' but you don't want to assign a value to that (as in, the workers are what is creating the value).
Windows has essentially always been free. There have been something like two billion PCs sold running Windows. The number of people who purchased a non-OEM copy is relatively small.
Good points. Poke any abstraction enough and you will find holes in it. However, the question I was originally responding to was asking if same-level-of-abstraction-ness was fundamental to the definition of a transpiler. I would still argue that it is, in the common understanding of the terms. It may be the case that those terms are not particularly useful. Certainly from a technical standpoint, I would agree that it's not useful to try to force a distinction between transpilers and other compilers. If the goal is conveying the basic purpose of a project, maybe the term is of some use.
Notice how Apple boasts “Designed in California” but never “Designed in the USA”. Their midyear keynote had an intro about how amazing California is.

This is the result of illberalism.
The larger part of the upgrade comes from the GPU rather than the CPU.
There are many potential goals, for example:

- Focus on a particular sector, if a biotech-focussed hedge fund is up 4%, SPY is up 7% and biotech stocks in general are up 1%, they have still outperformed. Clients will want exposure to that sector.

- Tail-risk hedging, losing small amounts of money most of the time to make huge amounts during unlikely events.

- Lower volatility, e.g. a fund which underperforms SPY slightly, but hedges against dramatic downturns in the market, so timing is not as important for redemptions.

Sophisticated investors (the only people allowed to invest in hedge funds anyway) generally have more complicated requirements than throwing their money at an index fund and waiting decades to retire on the returns.
It does seem like our culture (and perhaps humans more broadly) obsesses over the superficial veneer of words/semantics, instead of the underlying reality that the words represent.

For example, I believe this conversation around these programs would be different if they were called something like the "Harder work program".
> Also, even at 8 there's competition

Yes if the parents push for it, there will be competition. It's usually not the poor child's idea to start cramming for IQ tests when he's 8. Sounds fun though...let them deal with crushing anxieties and feelings of inadequacy as soon as they're 8!

Most math classes are kinda that, but you could get a lot more covered if you focused more on "here's a real world problem, 1) what sorts of math do you need to solve it? 2) OK, now solve it and apply the result (you may use the Web, calculators, apps, whatever)" than "here's how you mechanically follow through with that".

For me, all the gains from a W10 running faster than MacOS are lost because I have to immediately go into control panel to fix everything. Those fast computers are waiting on me to improve the user experience most of the time. I'm personally not really splitting hairs over much longer running processes if I have to walk away anyway.
The inconvenient truth is that most kids are not going to care about stuff like critical thinking, creativity and a challenging education to "inspire them to grow". It bores them to death, they just don't get why it might be important. So-called gifted education should really be about individual preferences and attitudes, rather than being solely founded on perceived "gifted" ability.
This is extreme myopia. You could make a list like this for any given 40-year period and in the earlier periods disease would be worse, healthcare would be worse, material living standards would be worse, and life expectancy would be lower.

I think it's basically laughable to suggest that millennials have experienced more stress than earlier generations. (Not that it matters, but I'm an older millennial myself.)

Now, it genuinely might be the case that millennials are subjectively more "stressed out" than their predecessors, but that's a different claim. It's a claim I don't have any trouble believing, but the cause is likely widespread access and attention to negative stressors (via social media, for example), not the existence of a greater number of them.
Swell is a headless, API-first ecommerce platform that many of our users would describe as an a modern alternative to Shopify.

I'm the CEO/co-founder at here, and want to give credit to HN community for giving me a lot of encouragement early on, but in truth this has been a long journey for us to get to a place where we can say, Swell is truly a great alternative to the current "state of the art", which is managing your physical products and subscription products in two different backends. We made a key decision to make subscriptions a native feature, and to make it great, for everyone.

This post marks our announcement of a huge set of features and improvements to subscriptions, including a new headless commerce theme: Horizon (our 2nd one total so far), that will make it easier than ever to launch a beautiful, customizable, and scalable subscription membership site with Swell.

Check it out and let me know what you think :)
To be fair to Next.js, this is largely because its primary value is a Webpack config. Once you need to customize the build, you’re not customizing Next.js anymore, you’re working directly with Webpack.
That's Docker for Mac versus native Docker. Docker only runs on Linux, so Docker for Mac spins up a linux VM to run your containers. When you mount your Ruby or Python projects into your containers, Docker for Mac marshals tons of filesystem events over the host/guest boundary which absolutely devastates your CPU.

Docker for Mac is really just bad for your use case.

No idea what's going on with the thumb drive, bluetooth, etc.

Beyond that, it's a little silly to compare a desktop (presumably many times larger, ~500+W power supply, cooling system, etc) with a Mac mini (tiny, laptop chip, no fans, etc).
I'll just leave my common advice here.

- Store all dates and times as UTC when dealing machine interfaces

- Communicate to others as clearly as concisely as possible.

So, I store everything in Postgres as ISO-8601 UTC times, while I tell my friends I'll be there at 8 (even though my watch will say 20:00).
