I think a lot of us who've used the open source linux tools for complex tasks have been bitten by weird UI problems and unstable code (Video editing comes to mind for me).

Its much better now, but having a really solid foundation and fewer crashes is a huge win. With the new components they want to build in Rust is kind of exiting. DAWs are a pretty large complex software and a good test for Rust as a language.
It will take not insignificant time to optimize and get the feature complete but optimistic this takes off and improves open source software.

It seemed to me they were justifying using a new language, because its a little crazy. A lot of existing components and things could be brought together that are open source and already in C++ (or C...).

Honestly as a end user, if it works and works well, you won't care (much like you use websites without worrying about the software stack that powers it). But if you want to contribute to building the software you might care.
Golden ratio is not arbitrary, it solves the problem: How to make sure nothing lines up.

This link gets passed around a lot and it's very illuminating, demonstrating that the golden ratio is objectively "the most irrational number": https://youtu.be/sj8Sg8qnjOg
One thing I've seen is that forced prioritization can help reduce complexity. The idea is that if you don't have enough resources to re-invent the wheel you will be forced to think harder about what you choose to work on. This has to be cultural and supported all the way to the top of the organization. Counterintuitively too many resources can slow you down.
Planets "start out" as a cloud of dust, rocks, and gas orbiting a young star which eventually coalesce into planets, lots of things go on which determine what kind of planet results.

Gas giants are indeed mostly gas and then gases liquefied and solidified by the very high pressures inside as you go down and eventually a bit of a rocky core.

If you were indestructible you would "land" on an ocean of liquid hydrogen, but because of the high pressures there won't necessarily be a well defined surface but a transition between gas-like qualities and liquid-like qualities. Go down and eventually you get to a solidified hydrogen, a few other things, and somewhat of a rocky core.
> I can tell you have never owned an apartment or a house.

I own my home and I pay property taxes, nice try though.

> Comrade, I am speaking about "how it works" not "what would be really nice if..."

faced with "the rent going up is a problem for working class people" you're instantly taking the side of investors and positioning it through this lens:

> I want to make sure people understand the dynamics.

the problem is not that people don't UnDeRsTaNd ThE dYnAmIcS, the problem is that the dynamics actively incentivize the creation of an investor and speculator class that owns a substantial portion of the housing stock and drives price up based on speculation and not based on any actual need to use the product. The supply is artificially held low by the investor and speculator class, my argument is that this is actively harmful and that the idea that the only way to raise supply is to build more houses is wrong, because your framing assumes a vacancy rate of zero, which no major city has.
If you can't buy parts from 3rd parties e.g. you can't source chips or connectors etc. on Mouser, then I can't see how this is much different from Apple. Just because manufacturer sells parts themselves (thus avoiding spending money on good repair service), probably won't save you much money considering you will have to spend your own time and make effort to fix it yourself.
Nonetheless, any move into more repair friendly product is welcome.
Outright scams?

Or pump and dumps of arguably less valuable stuff over the long term?
Just a small thing here: you wrapped up two things in one sentence.

> people tend to hate the wrecking ball who doesn't participate in 2:00pm office beers

The former (wrecking ball), people will tend to hate. The latter (beers), people should be fine with. I speak from experience on this.

Find out why people perceive you as a wrecking ball and change your behaviour to not actively antagonise your colleagues.

If you do this and it’s not drinking beer in the office that’s holding you back, I’d seriously look for alternative employment. The good news is you’ll be infinitely more employable as a result.

Isn't the drive encrypted anyway, with the key in T2?
We're comparing to Apple. Have fun freebooting that.
I don't think that is true. I know of intra-family sales where that definitely didn't happen and a quick search found nothing. There may be some internal rules among Realtors (who own the MLS- it isn't a public service) that require that, but a law declaring that would be dictating paying for a given private organizations product, which sounds problematic.
How is this any different than any other computer? If a hard drive fails, recovering data is either impossible or very expensive. Everyone who uses a computer ought to have some sort of backup, either another drive, cloud service, etc.
The price for housing has gone up substantially in the last 20 years, housing takes up a greater share of peoples incomes than it did in the past, and there is no reason for it.

We wouldn't tolerate the price of food going up by the same percentage.

The aspect of not finding life to be meaningful. Or would you phrase it differently?

Disclaimer: I'm just a Christian who cares.
It’s important to balance an individual’s individual competence vs their effects on others.

If working with a competent person means the rest of the team constantly feels stressed, bullied, aggrandized, looked down on, or whatever else then those people are less likely to perform to expectations which may have more of an impact than the competence gain.
Not knowing about the flag :)
It's inconvenient as fuck with a very specific security model that makes sense for my use case, but doesn't for most.

But generally it's just annoying.
I found the linked 2019 article on the Front Porch Forum to be rather interesting. In particular, this social network's posts/responses are have a 24h delay.

Besides membership, FPF seems to be sustained though local advertising.
ColdFusion devs aren't cheap either, and that's definitely not a popular language these days.

It's not that devs are necessary expensive, it's that senior devs are. The problem being that "easy" languages can often lead to complex balls of mud if care is not taken, and the only way forward is to hire senior devs.
Non-Googler: What do all those words mean?

L6+ SWE: Why do people think this is funny? This Broccoli Man guy makes some really good points...
Since most of the jobs out there can be trained on site from ground zero, I'm not surprised. Have been working on my soft skills recently and will start attending company parties given the chance.
PRs to improve docs are always welcome (especially from people who are new to Julia).
Not sure how this is relevant in any way. I've seen dozens of MacBooks where the hard drive had failed. Not to say that they fail any more than other laptops, but unless Apple has come up with some magical technology that makes their hard drives never fail, this is a terrible, terrible change. Water is wet, the moon circles the earth and hard drives fail (eventually, some sooner than others).
I have the same shell/case.

I find this deeply implausible, both from first principles and personal experience. Can you back this extraordinary claim up?

Even the "mute words" feature on Twitter does not work. That's all anyone needs to know about how much Twitter is geared towards ramming sponsored and annoying content down our throats every time we're on it.

I just really get on in short sprints to post my own words and if there is an emerging crisis, I can hopefully search for independent (non commercial and non-partisan) comments about the issue through carefully tailored keywords.

Social media betrays and manipulates us by invalidating an removing options that work in controlling what we see on it. They start out useful, but slowly degrade once they go public.
This is old information and no longer the case - https://shirtpocket.com/SuperDuper/SuperDuperDescription.htm...
To clarify: .NET being cross platform, I write console apps that I run on both Windows and MacOS, and in both cases if I redirect the color output to a .txt file and open it in an editor, there are no ANSI escape sequences in the file. So I was wondering if there is some other standard for sending control codes to a terminal that is independent of the output stream.

Or is there some voodoo by which the ANSI sequences get stripped from the output when redirected to a file?
I don't get why so many people use Zoom. I think it's an American thing? No one around here uses it. Even if we ignore the very serious China problem (which, we shouldn't) and the numerous security and privacy lapses (again, we shouldn't) it's simply a vastly inferior product to alternatives from Google. Apple, Microsoft and even some smaller orgs. The desktop UI is horrendous, confusing and stagnant. The video quality is ok, but the audio quality doesn't hold a candle to Google's Meet product.
Generally the ends are defined when you're going to say E2EE. In some places it's implied (e.g. a messaging application), elsewhere it's not and should be defined.
I think that’s the point. The significance of this is dependent on whether it holds true for other arbitrary ratio rulers.
Not sure I agree on the operational aspect in the large scheme of things. Servers are cheap, people are expensive.

Thinking out loud here, say you can only serve 200rqs with Rails but 2000rqs in some other framework (yes not fair comparison, endpoints matter etc etc). That means you need 10x the servers but take a step back a sec. 200rqs is 720k a hour or 17,280,00 a day or 518,400,000 requests a month. (The scale for that is pretty high already). I'm pretty sure the 10x increase you need in servers will cost less than 1 extra employee at say $70k a year.

They magnified the crapola, and I agree that it's great to see someone following up with on the ground anecdotes and even some real data, but I think there's some truth to the notion that he (Petersen) bears some responsibility for a reductive and savior-y analysis broadcast publicly.
How is that the takeaway you got from his tweets?

He is admittedly very embedded in the logistics space and has a unique perspective that has made him (and his company) very successful in the space.

He pointed out an idea that could be impactful and it was quickly adopted by at least one city. The impact is lower than the media overhyped it to be and he was the first to admit it is a very complex situation but here are a few ideas to help make small adjustments.

Not every person commenting on a difficult problem has to come up with a HUGE improvement. Even if he makes a 0.5-2% improvement in shipping issues with the ideas, it would be admirable progress in a multi-billion dollar issue.

If you want to hate on him being rich go for it, but you are shooting down someone who came up with a few interesting ideas out of what seems like spite.

Surely everyone on HN does regular backups of some kind? Most of us probably have two or three different kinds of backups, if I'm to believe what I read here (e.g. I have everything I care about on cloud storage, also backed up by Time Machine, and backed up by Backblaze).

If my MBP fails, I'll walk into the Apple Store and swap for a new one, hook up my TM backup and be back working in an hour or so.

I've always, always assumed that the internal drive can fail at any moment and take every last byte of data with it.
> many algorithms can be expressed as matrix multiplication

I wonder if this can be applied to something like the 3n+1 problem, or Conway's Game of Life?
If you are serious about starting a hedge fund, I've always wanted a fund that I can invest in that works like a passive tracking fund, with minimal costs, except that I should be able to tell it to skip certain shares. E.g. if I want to not include Oil companies or companies that make animal products, or companies that overpay their CEOs.
Looks like all their laptops use Intel processors? Do they let you control and disable Intel's management engine on that CPU? If not then I don't see how one really "owns" the hardware.
agreed Fedora is spectacular. Rock solid. Everything works. It has all the components tightly integrated.

>Nvidia’s proprietary driver now includes massively enhanced support for Wayland thanks to tight collaboration between the Fedora, Red Hat, and Nvidia teams.

No surprises there - Fedora sponsors most of the devs for the kernel as well as components like PipeWire, etc

Gnome is beautiful. I have had people carrying Macs ask me what OS im running - on my cool looking carbon fiber white Lenovo Yoga.

The Expanse, like virtually all sci-fi and fantasy narratives, follows the Hero's Journey. It's a pattern that is familiar to virtually everyone and it's already proven commercially successful.

As Krugman himself writes, "[Foundation] mostly involves people talking, and its narrative inverts the hero-saves-the-universe theme that burns many acres of CGI every year."

It is hard to film faithfully while attracting and preserving a large audience.

The really nice thing about `dnf` is that you can easily downgrade or rollback an update. There's also an easy way to see all of the packages that have been installed by the user to help track down when or what broke a system (which I haven't had to use yet, but it is nice to have).
Could not agree more with this. Thanks for the interesting article and your work on zellij.
I agree. The majority of the reactions here to Foundation seem exactly the way I felt so many years ago to the Starship Troopers movie. I hated seeing it in the theater with a passion and it was because I was one of the people that read and enjoyed the book. Even today when the ST movie is talked about as a cult classic I bristle a little bit - but I can see now it is good as a movie unrelated to the book and a disappointment to a fan.
Java caught up. I wonder if with green threads it will catch Go momentum.
What the sub is: Teenagers who work in the service industry posting fake "I quit" texts and mix that with a fundamental misunderstanding of capitalism, failing to understand value generation, and labeling any semblance of "work hard to make money" as 'survivorship bias'.

What the sub should be: Critiquing the current model of capitalism that's oppressive to the working class and supporting career moves away from toxic work industries/companies.
That's not a price floor though. A price floor would be some reason Bitcoin wouldn't go below a specific price. If Bitcoin falls below the price you can profitably mine it that means people will stop mining it, it doesn't mean that anyone will buy more Bitcoin and support the price.
My point is that he is purging neocons, and it seems you want to construe it as being all about election issues and that he was okay with them before that.
Really? Cause he also admits in TFA that it's a very complex situation and hopefully some of the ideas help even a little. He never claimed to solve the whole thing lol
I am super excited to see something that Nightfall has been working on for the past few months!
> I would say the biggest problem is the marketing that implies they faithfully are telling the books, when they’re not. The TV show is not faithful to the books.

I will have to disagree here. While I don't mind deviating from the books, I do mind incredibly bad story telling, pandering, shitty acting, and just about everything else wrong with Apple's Foundation.

Its only redeeming qualities are certain aspects of the aesthetics and cinematography. Everything else makes it completely unwatchable, and not because it's unfaithful to the books.
I find these play-with me mini-apps incredibly useful, a technique used by the author Bartosz in other articles:

https://ciechanow.ski/naval-architecture/

https://ciechanow.ski/internal-combustion-engine/

https://ciechanow.ski/cameras-and-lenses/

https://ciechanow.ski/gears/

Bartosz if you are here (username doesn't seem like it) how long does an article like this take to make? Looking a bit deeper and seeing how there are 10k LOC just in curves.js, and the curves.js seems custom for this, I'd guesstimate 1-3 months of fulltime work.

In any case, thank you for these incredible works of art and science! I had only seen a couple before so I'll have a deep look into the others!
Read Deepness in the Sky for an alternative take.
Like many, I have spent far too long looking at different keyboards, switches and models. The best one is simply the one you enjoy using.

If it feels good and doesn't distract you from the task at hand, you have the right one.

If you're asking about using one in an office, I often get told my keyboard is a little too loud. it's a Das Professional with MX blues
"It's a silly idea in tech, my computer does the same thing".

Framework may not be for the purpose of upgrading a laptop incrementally for ten years, but it has the core competency of intending to let you repair every component of your laptop as needed, while having the profile of a slim but powerful machine. They are the anti-apple from that perspective.

Your $200 laptop is not as good as the Framework laptop. You either bought a Chromebook, or you bought used meaning someone else ate depreciation, or you're comparing apples to oranges.

For a beginner, I would recommend "Complete Babylonian" (Teach Yourself) by Martin Worthington.

It is very accessible. After having some basic knowledge, there are more complete grammars and dictionaries.

The reason for learning an ancient language is reading the original texts. There is no need to become an expert, because there are bilingual editions for most ancient texts.

In my experience, no matter how good the translator is, you can find much more interesting information in the original text, but using a bilingual edition spares you 99% of the time you would have needed to read unaided when that is not your base profession.

For Akkadian, the best text for beginners is the bilingual edition of the code of laws of Hammurabi, which is very clear and easy to read (There is a better modern edition by M. E. J. Richardson, "Hammurabi's Laws", but also an 1904 edition at archive.org, "The Code of Hammurabi").

After that, the bilingual edition of Gilgamesh is recommended, with both the Old Babylonian version and with the later versions.

Unfortunately, the bilingual edition of Gilgamesh (A. R. George, "The Babylonian Gilgamesh Epic" in 2 volumes) is quite expensive (though there are pirated copies on the Web).

It seems you're being downvoted for a not very contentious experience.

Running "dnf install $pkg" can take upwards of a minute (~40 seconds with default repos for me) while it invokes "dnf update". This can make the act of browsing through and installing lots of packages one by one take many times as long as using apt's cached lists.

It's the only part of dnf I'm less than enamored by.

Personally, I have moved to downloading large things (Python, Postgres by your example) as standalone apps, and only use Homebrew for small libraries and CLI tools. I think that makes more sense.

You can download all of the Mac Python versions you want from python.org and you can get Postgres from postgresapp.com which provides a nice toolbar interface to start and shutdown servers of various versions.
