> For example, if some variant of astrology

Amusingly (I think), in my youth I took some astrology training. I read quite a bit on the subject, and attended a few classes. Obviously I had some pretty mad notions.

I'd like to think that the notions I have now are not bonkers; but past form says that I've been wildly wrong before, so the notions I have now are probably wrong too.
Of course there are, but it can be hard to keep in mind what one is trying to achieve. It is easy to think you are doing one thing while really living by a different set of principles.

For instance I've worked for companies (at least two) where, the set of goals for the hiring process, and what was actually practiced, were pointing in somewhat different directions. In the end it really came down to "how like us is the candidate". All while sailing under a "diversity is good" flag, being convinced that we lived our values, and (in one case) increasingly experiencing the problems stemming from a hardening monoculture. What happens when you try to resolve that situation is, to put it carefully, "interesting".
This may not be your problem, but if you look at the keyboard while typing you need to stop. Other than that, you should look into using proper form. Make sure your fingers are resting where they should be when you're at rest. Make sure you're using the recommended fingers for each key on the keyboard. For example I used to press the Y key with my left index finger but it's quicker to press with the right index finger. Your keyboard can also make a big difference here. I don't have a recommendation on what keyboard to get but my typing speed suffers if I'm not using a good keyboard.

Exactly. Poor countries have huge problems other than low salaries. Corruption, crime, lack of freedoms, bad infrastructure, poor investment options, etc. As much as many Americans like to think their country sucks, it’s a literal dream land for a large percentage of the world population.

Double NATting is underrated. I have zero problems with it and I like the buffer zone (subnet) between the ISP's Gateway/Router and my home network. Should the ISP's device have a known Zero Day exploit then it won't affect my home's subnet. Then there's all the additional stuff that can be done on your own router and also use DoH to ensure that a compromised ISP-router can't rewrite your DNS queries. Plus your ISP's router won't be able to gather statistics about the devices in your home, in case it would do that. I don't trust ISP-provided devices at all.
Ask HN: How did you transition to a new programming language?
I have a decade of experience developing .NET applications and would happily continue, but there are simply not enough relevant open positions in my city. Unfortunately my job applications are dismissed out-of-hand before even reaching telephone call.

I've completed coursera courses in different languages and referenced them in cover letters, but with no feedback I assume this makes absolutely no difference.

How did you manage to even get an interview for a position using a language/environment you're not familiar with? Am I unlucky having to deal with the stigma of "uncool" .NET?
We get it, you know nothing about Swift, but hate it.

Speech recognition is terrible on specialised vocabulary, strong accents, low quality audio, etc. You can train it, but only if you have transcriptions of your audio. Steno is a good way to make transcriptions.

I have mathematics education videos I would like subtitles for, all in non-US, non-UK accents, full of specialised terminology. In my tests, Amazon and Google's APIs were completely useless for this, as was Dragon. If I find the time, I would like to learn steno of some sort to make the subtitles and provide training data for future videos.

It seems that archive.is doesn't want to support 1.1.1.1 requests.

Solution: Resolve archive.is yourself if you want to use 1.1.1.1. For example with a host file, pihole, dnmasq, whatever. Look up archive.is once with a different DNS server then create a manual record for archive.is. Whatever.

Finally you could write a script to do this automatically in regular intervals to your taste.
Does it have regex support? That is the Pi-hole killer feature for me.
If you look at DOS source code, DOOM source code you will see lots of optimization

If you look at VSCode code, you’ll see even more of these. What really changed was more people wanted to hack things and write non-PhD code, and the web tech was (sadly) popular enough to take this role. It’s not programmers who are lazy, it was that desktop frameworks utterly failed in their non-competive niches. MSVC libraries replaced each other almost faster than github’s new web frameworks, to the point that barely anyone can remember their chronology. Gtk+ got stuck for years dealing with C legacy, added non-C styling engines too late, and then got “owned” by a particularly deteriorating DE. Qt always had a not-so-clear position on community-licensed versions, and C++ impedance mismatch didn’t help that either. UI/AppKits got pretty useful and advanced in recent ~ten years, but were ios/osx only. Minor frameworks like fox, wx, fltk, etc never got enough traction or new ideas and were just shadows of their bigger brothers. Meanwhile, with electron, bootstrap and little js one can make a page in few minutes, which could take few hours on conventional desktop.

I mean, you are correct that programming went from hardcore to relaxed mode, but there is more history to it in ui sense.

> an Advent of Code sized example will not be anywhere close in complexity to your typical CRUD application

Advent of Code size problems is the best case scenario for Python. The difference in implementation time goes down as program size increases because you spend a larger fraction of the time figuring out what you're implementing.

The reason it's not done is mainly social and not technical. Ecosystems matter and this is particularly the case in graphical desktop environments where massive amounts of time and effort are required to re-implement features matching users' expectations (e.g. Flutter).

If we're talking a server side http app server then the library requirements are significantly lower and the libraries are generally there in almost any language. To keep the language comparison the same, it's not significantly slower to implement a CRUD backend in Rust than it is in Python. Depending on your specific setup and how much pre-prep is involved it can be faster. I'm not aware of any framework in a dynamic language that can produce production grade endpoint handlers that are as terse as a Rocket app heavily leveraging request guards. The guards handle validation, conversion, session context and db connection based on the endpoint parameter types so you just write the happy path which is 1-2 lines of code for CRUD.

> speed of refactors and maintainability

Dynamic languages are significantly worse for maintainability and refactoring. I say this as someone who generally gets paid to be a frontend developer and spent years writing both Python and Clojure professionally. Despite my arguments, I do not write server side Rust for work because team coherence is more important for doing my actual job (solving a customer's problem) than programming language and I'm the only person in my company who writes Rust. I've been doing this long enough that I accept the worse solution as the cost of doing business. My personal projects don't have this constraint so perf is orders of magnitude better in exchange for a lot more knowledge and a bit more design work.

Well, he apparently defied a court order for his devices. Even if you think the court is wrong, you're bound, especially as an officer of the court to actually follow their orders.

It's entirely possible that both sides here are wrong, just in different ways. If you don't like a ruling you can appeal, but simply defying the court is never a good look and it doesn't normally work out well for any lawyer who tries it.
Interesting. I'm on Safari 15.1, macOS Monterey, Apple Silicon.
For myself: how I think when I’m writing is somewhat different than when I’m speaking. I still prefer writing _and_ typing despite the ability to record myself.

I also think we’re a bit of a ways off before speech-to-text will work for programming…

Maybe what I’m looking for isn’t stenography, but chorded typing with the ability to break out of it when I need to.
Is this perhaps too focused on the individual which might not lead to the optimum for the zoomed-out / group (population-level) case?

This reminds me of a meta-system-transition where simplified versions of individual (previously independent) units can lead to a unified cooperative whole that works better at the meta-system level (similar to what led to eukaryotes or to multicellularity). It's like a sacrifice that the individuals make (of things that might have looked like intelligence in the previous context) in order to be able to work together better, and these kinds of transitions have worked out extremely well for life, so far! (I guess I am biased, being alive and everything!?)

Should humans resist the formation of human meta-systems? Human/robot meta-systems? Certainly seems like a good chance that an extremely successful meta-system could be dangerous to the rest of the regular humans!? But if it's actually better, then that's just normal (meta) evolution.

Parents have a responsibility to teach, guide, and educate their children to prepare them for adulthood. Today a vast amount of your "life" is online (much more than a decade ago). It only makes sense for parents to "parent" their children online.

> "Horrendously invasive"

Children do not have a right to privacy from their parents. Privacy (from parents) is a privileged that is earned and can be taken away. If you found your child off {insert worst thing you can think of} would you crack down on their privacy? Most parents would.

Parents also have the right to decide for themselves what really is "bad", and then try to raise their child according to those beliefs.

Don't confuse privacy from parents as privacy overall--children absolutely have a right to privacy from companies/3rd parties.

Simply because the internet doesn't physically harm you in an immediately noticeable way doesn't mean it's not dangerous or that harm isn't being done. It's good for parents to be aware of potential dangers (of which there are plenty) and to help their child navigate them.

Also, as other's have pointed out, the internet from decades ago is much different than the internet of today.
What crystallizes may have been reached quickly but there is no guarantee it is the best possible choice given all the known and unknown unknowns that the experts may have not considered.

Then there is also the hierarchy of expert advice to consider where a room of experts some who are more senior (or louder or more convinced about their rightness) might push you towards a worse outcome than a well thought through option.

I feel a decision taken “live” with the help of experts needs to be viewed with more skepticism than less.
It's not just the installation, but how to use the product.

Offhand, I'd say that there are about 35 pages "How to do X", and I can write a simple, profesional page in about 20 minutes.

I can make an amateur video in less than an hour, but a clean, professional video is around 3 hours per item.

It wouldn't take months by itself, but in addition to my other work it will take months.

Thanks for answering. I had hoped the question would get more feedback like "we tried simple documentation but we hemorraged users" or "we spent months working on documentation and it turned out not to be useful".

I think animals are much more intuitive than we think.

I once had young veterinarian tell me my dog didn't feel anything when having a Grand Mal Seizure while at the foot of my bed.

She said, "They just don't feel like we do."

I was to tired to even talk.

I do know when Chester, my 150 lb. American Bulldog/pit mix, had the seizure he looked into my eyes, and wrapped his paws around me. He was still shaking. I have never seen an animal so scared.

He wouldn't leave my side for a few days.

I have a bunch of other instances where I could sware he was human, with human emotions.

I still remember listening to those philosophy professors saying man is vastly different than animals. I didn't believe it then, nor now.
Sounds about right.

The reason I asked is that working in the telco industry gave me a slightly different perspective on time. Nothing happens fast in the telco industry and what would take perhaps a quarter in my previous jobs could easily stretch out for a couple of years (for a number of reasons largely having to do with organizations that do not respond well to changes).
I'm curious how you pronounce locks and if you don't mind where you are from.
This type of buffering actually leads to the sort of supply chain bottlenecks we are experiencing. If the demand for stone suddenly rises to a point where much more walls and concrete is demanded, you get a massive delay in the production line because the stone needs to get mined and transported and crushed and transported &c before it even reaches the wall factory.

It's not entirely dissimilar to the chip shortage we are seeing. Our processes require a long lead time, which depends on accurate forecasting to work well. When the forecasts fail, you additionally get huge knock-on effects because downstream products also get delayed, which delays additional products.

It's incredibly efficient, nobody is denying that, but what can also not be denied is that incredibly fragile.

Sounds like a post from r/antiwork but I do understand your point. In fact, when I was working in London it was doing the maths on my "unpaid labour" at the time which made me quit and start my first business.

1.5 hours each way * 5 days a week = 15 hours a week
That's 780 hours a year (not including holidays/sick leave etc)
That's 32.5 24 hour days! One whole calendar month sat in my car each year.

As soon I did that maths it was only a question of time before I quit.
It seems obvious in hindsight, but that's an interesting insight I hadn't thought of before.

This got me curious about how we can roughly determine if a sound is coming from above or below us even without tilting our heads. A quick search led to this interesting but somewhat open-ended stackexchange answer:

> Localization in the vertical plane (elevation) is less well investigated. As far as I know it is the shape of the outer ear (pinna) that transforms the frequency characteristic of incoming sound. In terms of directional hearing it is thought that sounds coming from above lead to a different head transfer function than sounds from below. This means that localization can only be accomplished when the sound has a particular familiar characteristic that is slightly disturbed in the frequency domain when encountered at different angles of elevation (Hofman & Van Opstal, 2003). [1]

From this, it seems like the pinna is shaped in such a way that it filters audio differently depending on whether it came from above or below? Can anyone who has more experience with ears confirm or clarify this?

Food science is highly politicised because of the massive amounts of lobbying involved. If you have the time and expertise, you should look at the actual paper, correlate it with things like sample size, age of participants, funders biases and then come up with your own conclusions. Also, research on oneself is great, vary something, measure whether it makes a positive difference, if yes, do more of it, if not, try something else. Lots of 'scientific' nutrition advice is outright wrong and harmful.
This is sad but true.
Do assembly line workers also get to leave after four hours? Of course not. Even if there was a untapped ten fold productivity increase, the work force would be reduced or the output increased ten fold, not the hourly wage increased ten fold. If you can live from four hours of work, that just means you are heavily overcharging your time. And if the market works, you will just go out of business.

I'm curious, and this is a side question, but on the topic of energy use, is it more likely that maxing out a GPU or maxing out a CPU will have the biggest power draw, and therefore affect energy bills more or run battery lower?
Same here.

I have 2x 27" 1440p IPS screens at home, which is just perfect for coding. The single 24" 1080p screen is not going to cut it at the office.

At home I'm also using my desktop (rysen-based + nvme) pc for work and it feels about 10x faster than the macbook air they supply (which I haven't done real work on for the last year). I'm also using a Logitech G815 + Logitech G102 with a massive mouse pad. My desk has been lowered (I've cut the legs shorter to an exact height) to a point where my knees/legs are in the air to allow blood flow. I also have an electric foot warmer for the winter months (pet heating pad in a nice cover). Other than that, nicer headphones + speakers + studio microphone and overall desk aesthetics...So I want to see them replicate my very comfortable setup that I have at home vs the office. Also having fiber at home without silly restrictions.
For sure, but it's better to be open about the fact that it is just for inspiration and entertainment, it can never be a good thing to spread ideas and visions as made up stories about how it actually works.

> But racism is different than systemic racism.

Not giving loans and putting them in jail and killing one group of people is systemic racism. Not sure why I have to keep repeating it, its as if you dont want to accept that you are wrong so you keep on deflecting it.

LOL it does not work like that. These are unwritten rules and polices, you dont notice it if you are white.

This is a great idea and I may sign up! Email being open WAS awesome until marketers started abusing the privilege and wasting our finite valuable time. Well if you want my attention, pay me for it. And if that's not reasonable then you don't respect me as a person only a money mouth and I don't want to be your customer. Every random salesman is not entitled to my time just because I have an email address. This service is genius. And how about those services selling our email addresses? I hope this puts them out of business as well.

The thing is, people judge (non-fiction) books by their width. They'd rather pay a significant amount of money for a merely useful 300 pages book than for a life-changing 10 pages booklet. So, as you say, turn your 10 pages booklet into a 300 pages book with lots of repetition, examples, pictures and testimonials, and buyers will be happy.

I created a new discord server to find co-founders
This is how it works:

1. Post your trial-project idea(s) that you would like to work on with your potential co-founder as a pilot project before committing to working on a startup.

2. Invite other members to join you, or join other member's trial-project.

3. Discuss each other's trial-project ideas and decide on one project that you would work together on a trial basis. Set a deadline for the project.

4. Demo your project to other members on the server.

5. Decide whether to work together on actual startup, or part ways.

6. If trial-project team clicks and decide to work together then congratulation; go build that next unicorn. Or go to step #1 above and repeat.
