There's a problem with "command -v," in that it's not actually a command. It's a Bourne shell builtin.

You can't use `command -v` in csh or other shells, only in Bourne style shells (bash, zsh, etc).

/usr/bin/which is a standalone binary. It can be invoked without a shell at all.

Many comments discussing `command` being part of POSIX are I think missing that `command` is only part of POSIX insofar as the Bourne shell is defined by POSIX. It is part of a POSIX `/bin/sh` and is not its own thing.

Keeping /usr/bin/which is the correct decision and it should probably be added to POSIX.

> They can freely move it to banks in the US or to anywhere else they need it, it's only "overseas" in the sense that they recognized the revenue elsewhere

Yes, they could, however the point made above is valid - if they did that, they'd have to pay a chink of US corporate tax on it, and unless they have a use for it in the US, that'd be analogous to throwing money away.

In recent years, Apple has been taking out big loans in the US (or selling bods - same effect) collateralized by their overseas cash equivalents whenever they need an infusion of USD. Paying 2% interest is much cheaper than paying 10-15x that in taxes.

> Apparently this has to do with the fact that both NOAA and PHS commissioned officers operate according to military rules

Specifically, the NOAA Commissioned Corps has its antecedent in Army (never returned after the Civil War) and Navy commissioned officers that worked with its predecessor civilian workers until 1900. There was a couple decades with no uniformed component, but a new and separate uniformed component was created in WWI, because part of the agencies work was battlefield survey, and under the law of war non-uniformed personnel captured doing that job would not be entitled to treatment as POWs, and would likely be executed as spies.

The PHS Commissioned Corps seems to have come about originally because the PHS had an ex-military leader who thought military discipline was a good idea, but it does (among other functions) supply medical officers to serve with both the Coast Guard and the NOAA Commissioned Corps, neither of which (unlike the other uniformed services) have their own, so, I guess that provides some nexus.
All of those examples sound like the exact sort of people willing to pay 50c or whatever to contact you though? If anything I would take all of those emails more seriously if they did pay some trivial fee.
Ask HN: How did you find someone to team-up/work with?
Hey there,

I've been struggling with this for a very long time and I'm looking for actual, practical suggestions here.

What has been your secret ingredient for finding someone to team-up/work with, be it on either open source projects, small side-gigs/-ideas or maybe even actual startups -- especially when money won't be the number one motivating factor and a full-time gig might be taking a big chunk of time off your days.

Over the past few years I've been meeting people who work in similar areas as I do and who share similar interest. I sometimes worked alongside them for significant periods of time on paid gigs and, most of the time, team-work went very well. Yet, only a few opportunities presented, where it was able to team-up with them, in order to pursue an idea either of us came up with. And in most cases, the undertakings dried up very quickly due to various reason -- most of the time this being the lack of the commitment that would have been needed to actually make something happen.

A significant discrepancy for me has also been the work-life-balance. The people I worked with usually valued personal time differently than I did for myself, leading to a disproportionate amount of invested time and hence commitment. I'm far from being someone who'd enjoy a 100hr work week (thinking of a submission by someone that I recently saw here), yet I do believe investing less than 16hr/week into a side-gig might not be enough to actually pull something off in a reasonable amount of time. And even short "sprints" of increased commitment usually ended up in dissatisfaction over a the work-life-balance on someone's end, eventually leading to frustration on all ends.

What are your experiences and how did you end up finding your team mate/business partner/co-founder, who you shared a vision with and where everyone was committed to walk the path at a similar pace in order to successfully realize the idea you both/all pursued?

Thank you.

The thing is, there is no need for people to be inventing their own accounting standards, particularly in the area of tax accounting. These debates about accrual versus cash based accounting have been hashed out long ago. Nothing material has changed just because there is a new tax initiative proposed.

There is such great risk in that to create self-serving definitions that the industry as a whole decided these terms needed standardization and definition.

Now we already have these standards, so let's just stick with them and all use the same meaning of "income" rather than switching to something based on personal intuition. If you want to change the tax code, change the tax code, don't try to redefine "income".
If you work in real time embedded systems you become aware of code constructs that will deliver better performance. I always study the instruction set to see what tools it might reveal.

For example, most people might write something like this (pseudocode, "MAX" being a constant):

for i=0; i < MAX; i++
<some code>

On most processors this runs faster:

for i=MAX; i != 0; i--
<some code>

This is because most processors have the equivalent of a "CJNZ" or "CJZ" (Compare and Jump if Not Zero; Compare and Jump if Zero) instruction. It is much faster (generally one clock cycle) to determine if the value in a register or accumulator is zero than to load multiple registers and determine "less than" or "less than or equal to".

As far as I know, these are not optimizations a compiler is capable of.
I think it’s important to ask “what guarantees are in place to keep multiple implementations consistent and what is the fallout if they are not” as a lens to determining the degree to which it is or isn’t “world-ending”

The Python ecosystem once fell apart not too long ago because it was supporting two versions where one moved from “print “ to “print(“ and these were incompatible and broke things such as doc tests.

There’s a reason that ppl strongly started advocating to hard pivot to 3: there was a very real chance that Python 2 could fork the ecosystem.

Incompatible concurrency semantics would be a much worse can of worms.

LA was never a good natural harbor - in fact I think it was pretty terrible. But they had a lot of cattle hides to export, so ships came, which built up the city, so more ships came, and on and on and on until it was worth building the port facilities:

> The fourteenth of August (in the year 1834) was the day fixed upon for the sailing of the brig Pilgrim, on her voyage from Boston, round Cape Horn, to the Western coast of North America.

> What brought us into such a place, we could not conceive. No sooner had we come to anchor, than the slip-rope, and the other preparations for southeasters, were got ready; and there was reason enough for it, for we lay exposed to every wind that could blow, except the northerly winds, and they came over a flat country with a rake of more than a league of water.

> I also learned, to my surprise, that the desolate-looking place we were in furnished more hides than any port on the coast. It was the only port for a distance of eighty miles, and about thirty miles in the interior was a fine plane country, filled with herds of cattle, in the centre of which was the Pueblo de los Angeles,– the largest town in California,– and several of the wealthiest missions; to all of which San Pedro was the seaport.

I've been a huge Zelazny fan since the mid-80s, and it's a bit of a shame that his catalog hasn't caught the imagination of showrunners and moviemakers. Because while his style is somewhat literary, it is so largely in the service of creating an atmosphere -- and one that I think could translate well visually. Maybe the film of Damnation Alley is still being held against him?

Put another way, infinite R&D will produce diminishing returns very quickly in the same time frame with the same constraints. R&D is a very long game to play, and depends on anticipating and adapting to more favorable constraints.

Edit: that said! The benefit of investing in it anyway is potentially changing the course or severity if those constraints by having more control over them.
> but I fail to see how the fact that Apple is good at designing chips has any relevance whatsoever to the idea that Apple may or may not be good at manufacturing those same chips.

> If every ROI-seeking multibilliondollar hedge fund in the world can't build a leading edge node fab or two to compete with TSMC, what suggests that Apple's money would do any better?

Apple had 0 chip designers working for them not so long ago. They saw the writing on the wall that they were not going to be able to get where they wanted to go, as quickly as they wanted to, relying on a company that didn't see the writing on the wall, and falling further and further behind. Apple had hardware engineers to design their products using chips from other companies, and software engineers to make them do something useful, and design engineers to make them pretty. Then they decided to hire some chip engineers, some really good ones at the top, because they can afford to and they had a will to and concrete purpose. On their very first attempt at a new cpu, they were running with the best of them. How long has Apple been designing chips and how does it stack up against Intels cream of the crop and how long have each been at it? I do not see why Apple would not succeed if they put their minds, money and leadership style to it.

> "Everybody knows" that a big chunk of the M1/mac performance dominance right now is due to their buying out huge amounts of TSMC capacity at leading edge nodes. Thus, much of the recent M1/M1Pro/M1Max "great leap forward" (pun intended) are directly attributable to TSMC specifically.

Right, which is exactly why I think they will start to rely less on something that is only manufactured/available in a single political hotbed of a country, Taiwan, because Apple is now reliant on the best/most advanced process only offered by TSMC/Taiwan. Those leading edge nodes are not available to TSMC plants in any other country that I'm aware of. The crown jewels are kept in-country, under tight control. China is very vocally stating that Taiwan will be "reunited" with China and being fairly hostile about it. Apple might be peering into their crystal ball, wondering what that eventually means for their heavy reliance on that single country and top of the line products that make them their money. That's a very new worry that didn't exist when they were using Intel chips, which were manufactured in multiple countries. Apples future currently lies in whatever China ends up choosing to do with Taiwan. That's a major single point of failure and scary position to be in. If I were Apple, I'd want to ensure more control over my product line into the future and history has shown that is a very big priority for them, to their benefit. I'm quite sure the China/Taiwan situation is giving everyone at Apple quite a headache. It's hard to predict and Cook's steering a trillion dollar ship. If you have the money, hedge your bets.

It would also open up an additional major revenue stream, after they've perfected it for their own products.

If any of vim great ideas ever enters shared intuition about computers it won't be due to development of vim.

Ability to gradually transition between beginner user towards power user is natural way all modern software is written. That's why you have menus and can point things with mouse and often drag stuff around, and have a cursor and a text box where cursor keys and home and end and delete and backspace and shift works. And you have hints and indications of keyboard shortcuts. Plenty of stuff is discoverable.

You start with shared understanding and build upon that.

Some legacy UIs like Blender evolve and adapt to broadening shared intuition others like vim fail to.

No, they're not. The subreddit was, at the same time as the Trump subreddit, in a transparent attempt to do a bothsidesism and limit PR damage to . The cited extremist content were related to John Brown being justified, etc...

Generally the subreddit was to the left of Chapo, and there was a signficant amount of distance between the two, with the sub and the podcasters roasting each other every so often.

FWIW I originally learnt about Chapo Trap House on this website, a year and half ago or so. They're obviously a podcast so not as accurate as written publications, but as long as you take their bias into account they're not so bad.

To substanitate the podcast not being banned, check out r/blackwolffeed which discusses the podcast (unlike the eponymous subreddit), and you will see that it is in fact not banned from Reddit.

I found this post and the code and math so fascinating it changed my life when I found it three years ago. I did not previously understand the capability of computers to work with the abstract logic of infinite sets in a meaningful way and it led me into the world of formalization of mathematics in the dependently typed programming language Agda, which is one of the current activities of the mathematician (Martin Escardo) who wrote this guest blog post.
I'm making the general point that results from optimizing for any model are going to depend entirely on the assumptions baked into the model. I haven't played Factorio, but based on your description it sounds like it leaves out price signals because the player has omniscience. If a supply chain is directed by a centralized entity, then yes, keeping intermediate inventory doesn't do much. But our actual economy is based on distributed decision making coordinating through price signals. And so what inventory buffers allow a company to do is see that an in/out buffer is getting depleted, and then gradually raise bids/prices to compensate.

FWIW I think there's way too much discussion focus on the keeping of inventory, as it is just one of many ways that the system can have slack. Things like having some extra machinery so it's not all running 24/7, having enough employees so that there is no overtime on a regular week, or treating your employees well so that they'll go the extra mile - these are all ways that production can be ramped up quickly when needed, that don't exist if a business is trying to optimize every last bit of short term profit.

I agree that more people should learn system dynamics and modeling though, whether through games or otherwise.

I feel like I am missing something here.

I too like NAT and am not sure why everyone is so keen to get rid of it.

With IPv6, all my home machines could be naked on the internet and individually addressable. But no one honestly wants that.

So there will be a home firewall. And instead of port forwarding there will be punching holes in the firewall.

And because regular home consumers won't want to do this manually for every service on every device, there will be a UPNP equivalent, however terrible that already is.

I recall hearing stories of ISP's trying to limit how many devices could use a given Internet connection and how retarding (IE as in actually limiting progress) that was.

I don't need my ISP trying to bill me per machine connected.

Some part of me wants IPv6. I know I don't want ISP level CGNAT. I know I don't truly understand IPv6.

The cost/benefit ratio hasn't motivated me to look closely at IPv6 yet. I am hoping that by the time I am so motivated, there will be plentiful standard patterns of home use, easily readable (please not more tutorial videos...) for me to learn and to point family and friends at.

Singapore finally flattened the curve, but along the wrong axis
Thank you for doing the research and writeup.
Do you have a source to back up either of these claims?
1. greener/wetter wood
2. quality increase from drier wood

There are standards for the moisture content in dimensional lumber. It's unlikely lumber yards are going to be selling wood that's outside of the standard ranges. Additionally, some of the soft woods are a PITA to deal with if they get too dry, as they are more prone to cracking when driving fasteners without drilling holes.

Much of the quality issues stem from having cut down most old growth forest and converting these past forests to farmland or suburban yards. The primary source for fir, spruce, and pine these days that are used for dimensional lumber come from managed farms. The trees are only grown as long as needed to harvest certain sizes of lumber. This leaves you with grain running in less than ideal directions and a lot of sapwood instead of heartwood.

To be honest though, most dimensional lumber people complain about is fine for the sort of framing it's used for. It's a lot more efficient to use wood the way we currently do, rather than clear cutting our now very rare old growth forests and producing high quality, wasteful lumber.

Increasing lumber stockpiles isn't going to solve any of these issues.
