You’re asking for people to live in a future that doesn’t exist.

You don’t need “in general the reactions” to be positive, you need 100% of your bosses and peers to have a positive reaction, and you need to be able to predict it ahead of time because you can’t but that cork back in the bottle. Developer communities can be small. That information could affect future employment opportunities as well.
Probably to weed out people whose answer would be things like "I was fired."
Why is Excalidraw so good?
This explanation misses a lot. When I watch an advert a second time, it seems to pass a lot faster than the first watch. My brain however has not changed at all. It seems that novelty is the main factor causing the perceived slowdown of time and that lack of novelty (less things surprise me as I age) makes time seem to pass more quickly. This also explains why staycations pass a lot faster than a trip somewhere new.
I actually trust it more to not have backdoors. Signal is written by the same guys who sold to Facebook, and although both Moxie and Pavel are anarchists, I trust the guys who were actually ousted from their own country and yes, rolled their own encryption (with bounties to break it) rather than use an officially approved one

Besides - Moxie is kind of against decentralization, he thinks that by centralizing trust in a certain entity, things can be better. I am not convinced that such an approach leads to a better model for me to have encrypted communications:

I like that Signal started using SGX though. It’s not ideal (now I have to trust Intel instead) but at least if you’re going to be running some code on a centralized service instead of byzantine consensus, let me know you aren’t backdooring it:

Linus tech tips also showed this CPU almost can't be cooled. Even with the best air cooler that is better then some water cooling setups it hit 90+ degrees. This doesn't spell well for the mobile CPUs of this gen. Intel is already greatly exceeding thermal envelope on mobile CPUs for a few gens.
> Our country can hold the world's population of high skill individuals seeking H1B status. It certainly can hold the number of individuals companies would seek to fill those roles (assuming salary is adjusted such that they'll not abuse the system).

We've reached a point where our opinions simply differ. I don't think our country can hold nearly as many people as you say, nor do I think it should. I'd rather help our existing population of high skill individuals get jobs, train up everybody else to see how many more people reach a high level of skill, and then if we really do find ourselves short of labor, slowly open up to people from abroad.
We call those happy little accidents.

We're moving towards a state where simplicity and privacy is the province of the affluent. A simple, reliable product doesn't make for a repeat customer. If you buy what the Bollinger claims to be, you'll probably take care of it, and won't want to trade it in for a new model every year or three. Ideally they don't get to market your telematics data either. That gives them all of one chance to extract the product's value from you. Add that to the small production runs of a niche vehicle, and the price makes a depressing amount of sense.
Yeah the white of the eye is really not that sensitive. The lens is another story.
The problem in the United States is there is almost no choice. If I want to live in walkable/bikable area, I might be fine with living in a tiny flat at a reasonable price. But because of zoning, parking minimums, discretionary review, setbacks, roads designed for traffic throughput etc. there is a huge shortage of these areas so they are not only small, but expensive.

We need to allow these types of communities for people to have choice.

There are gas stations that have 24/7 pumps availble while being otherwise totally closed. I was fortunate to have this be the case while driving through the desert. I was rushing home across country to get to a relative in the hospital, and in that mental state totally failed to check on fuel levels. When it finally occurred to me at 2am, the gauge was precariously low. After a few minutes I saw a station up ahead with no lights and totally closed. At that point I was preparing myself to sleep in the parking lot until they opened. To my luck, pay at the pump was available. Probably the most surreal fueling experience I've had, but totally saved my butt.

They want to see if you are looking for professional growth, stable salary, or if you are a toxic moron who will start badmouthing their former colleagues which will indicate that you will do the same with your future ones. The last option is end of story, the first two will let them decide if you are a match for the position or you will leave in a few months and they will have to repeat the exercise.

In regards to vacuum, diesels don't produce vacuum since they don't have a throttle, and so they use a vacuum pump. They run off the engine, but I imagine you can get an electric driven one. Also many vehicles use electric driven pumps for power steering.
I think the big thing, as others have pointed out, is buying the batteries and putting them somewhere in an old car.
> I am not a doctor but what I understood was that when you eat carbs it puts your body in a mode of storing it as fat but if you remove the carbs it tells the body to pull from fat stores.

Not a doctor too, but from what I've read it's due to insulin. Carbs usually raise insulin, proteins can raise it too.
I've been using emacs as my primary editor since 1989. It has for that entire time been a PITA to configure. My first customization was to map backspace to ^H and map the insert key to 'nil.

I used to dedicate a couple days every January to investigate new emacs tools. Read about the latest features or new modes, often from my org-mode TODO list where I bookmarked them. I have learned to never update emacs mid-project as I've on multiple occasions shattered my emacs config updating versions or moving to a new distros. MacOS brew install vs .dmg install? Aquaemacs? DoomEmacs? Oh, hello the malpa repo URL changed and is https only now.

"eldoc" error wrong-type-argument stringp number-or-marker-p

Googling that doesn't get you anywhere.

VSCode has a healthy extension marketplace, something emacs should adopt.

elisp is dead. Not because it is dead, or deserves to be dead, but because everyone "believes" it dead. Same goes for Perl.

I love emacs, it has been a rock my entire programming life, but it's a time suck to configure. I know there are some who have created a Sistine Chapel in their .emacs.d, and I'm jealous. There's a fine balance between spending time and effort optimizing and sharpening your tools and emacs is deep on the wrong side of the line for me.

I don't want emacs to ever die. But come on, if you're losing to vim in popularity, you are already dead.
>I would actually not be OK with quads next door to my house right now, because that is not the type of life I bought into.

This is, definitionally, NIMBYism. Resisting necessary change in your town because it doesn't jive with what you want is more or less the problem.

Now, maybe your town doesn't need quads or apartments or anything of the sort. Maybe the properties and zoning laws that exist are able to meet demand. But if your town is growing faster than single-family construction can keep up; if people aren't able to afford to live close to their jobs; if you see your town becoming more exclusive, something that often comes at the expense of local businesses or municipal budgets; then reality dictates that we embrace change.

Of course, it sounds like you're in an area close to NYC, so you would hold that there's already suitable choice of housing in your area to meet peoples' needs. I think the areas where this debate is more prevalent are the ones in the PNW, Southeast, and Mountain west/Southwest portions of the US where cities are busting at the seams and zoning is a huge barrier for the stock of housing.
According to Wikipedia the biggest groups are Syrians, Iraqis, and people from the former Yugoslavia. There are also a lot of Finns. Then there are Poles, Iranians, Somalis, Afghans, Turks, Germans, Eritreans, Thais, Indians, Norwegians, Danes, Chinese, Romanians, Etc.

Something like 5% of Swedish-born residents are descended from Finns if you go back a few generations (not counted among foreign-born immigrants).
The vr stuff wasn't compelling but it was still more compelling than this.

So far everything I've heard about the metaverse makes it sound like someone's trying to sell me vrchat for business.

This particular version skips the vr for basic video game maps. Ok.

If that's worth $50m in investment congrats I guess. Enjoy it.
Alright, I get it. Non-4/4 time signatures are in much higher demand than I originally thought.

* edit - I'm not trying to sound mean. I just want to make it clear for those who may have not read my other comments on this HN post.

I thought it was clear that these non-features are only for the MVP, not the released "1.0 version", but apparently I was wrong. The "final" 1.0 version will indeed have support for other time signatures. Although because demand is apparently very high, I will likely add it to the MVP as well.

The way I have this designed, it is in fact trivial to add other time signatures later. The backend code only uses musical time as a unit of beats, it does not care about measures. Measures are purely just a visual thing for the GUI. Yes there are special plugins that care about measure like drum sequencers and advanced arpeggiators, but neither of those things are planned for MVP, so it's not like we will have to "rewrite" them.

What is not trivial to rewrite is support for non-western scales and microtonal stuff, which is why those are being included in the MVP.

The title of this HN post was updated, it now has correctly removed "fully-featured" in the title. Neither I or anyone on the Meadowlark team made this HN post. We got publicity a lot sooner than we thought we would, so we weren't even fully ready to make a full public announcement on the project yet. The design doc is still somewhat of a draft.

A plus for the benchmarks. One more complication of xor xx,xx goes unmentioned: xor also (partially) affects the flags register. That should get renamed as well.

Funny how much that sounds like my life :)

It took me some time to work out that with 2 kids now I just don't have the time for side projects anymore. It is impossible. My oldest is also a person that needs very little sleep. He stopped regular daily naps when he was about 6 months old. In the beginning of daycare (2 yo) he was the only kid in daycare that didn't sleep during the day. He also never goes to sleep before 9pm. In summer it often is 10pm or even later.

When he finally sleeps both my wife and me are just wasted. Not ever could I find energy or motivation to "work" after that.

However I still have hope for the future. When the kids grow older and do more for themselves there will be opportunities to write some fun code on the side :)

"Play-to-Earn" seems like it could be somewhere between pay-to-win / microtransactions and low-ish stakes gambling.

I suppose it could open up e-sports to highly competitive and skilled players everywhere, but I am skeptical of how it could impact casual gaming and the more traditional "pay money once for a good quality game" experience.
What do you mean about it being a specific ethnicity? From what Chinese people say and the history of it, "Han Chinese" is a recent concept and used like you said to push homogenuity. Its like calling people black, white or other nebulous terms. The Cantonese language is being removed in China but the people are still Han for instance.
Renewed my Apple TV+ subscription specifically for this show and waited for a whole year -- I'm in the camp that thinks no series or film is ever going to be better than the actual books, but in terms of what's playing and in production these days, I've been immersed in the series from the start as well as the Foundation podcast that dives deeper into every episode with some of the shows producers, it's similar to hearing the director's cut of a film.

Wrote a guide on changing programming jobs from home
A very simple example which i can replicate at any time, with the same result:
I have serious problems with memorizing places and can easily get lost anywhere where I haven't been yet. So, sometimes(knowing that i have a phone with gps in my pocket) I look at the map beforehand and try to go to some unknown place, on my own, in a limited time, like to a doctor appointment. And everytime it feels like it takes A LOT of time, like if I walked for 30 minutes when it was just 10. If I try it at the same place again, it will feel faster. Eventually, when I stop looking around and just go thinking about smth, like I usually do, it will feel like I walked for 5 minutes, when it actually was 20.

It will not work in the same way if the time won't be limited - I will be more relaxed.

People can spend years solving one problem in their mind and there are not many experiences in your mind until it generates smth you haven't thought about, and this doesn't happen often.
> I find it weird that you trust the inspections

Well, that's something for you to work out. China was great at monitoring the population. If there was a Christian missionary somewhere in those villages they would have been swiftly found (and they were). But you think 50 million people dying and Mao didn't know? Entire villages wiped off the map and no one noticed? Emaciated bodies walking around, children with distended bellies everywhere and it was a secret? Remember for every one that died, there are 100 more walking skeletons that didn't. No serious historian believes this:

Even so, work by Yang and others has proved that senior leaders in Beijing knew of the famine as early as 1958. "To distribute resources evenly will only ruin the Great Leap Forward," Mao warned colleagues a year later. "When there is not enough to eat, people starve to death. It is better to let half the people die so that others can eat their fill."

And it was the exact same thing that happened in the USSR when they did the same rapid industrialization program and the same forced collectivization scheme, done for the same reason, in the 30s. Even up to similar proportions of the agricultural population dying. No one is claiming that the Soviets didn't know they were starving the countryside to enable rapid urbanization - they rode up with trucks and took all of the food from the farms, across the entire countryside. So, I don't understanding the apology for Mao here, we have logic, we have precedent, we have a documentary record, and we have his own speeches.

Indeed there is! I had it in the mid 80s when I was a child. They put me completely under. My understanding is that today it's not uncommon to do it under a local anesthetic so they can test the correctness of the alignment in real time.
I honestly don't get what you're trying to say.

You don't work at Intel I presume. Even of the people who work at Intel I doubt there's any one person who could tell you why they decided on the given arrangement.

I expect this kind of baseless speculation on some more casual forums not one where most of us are aware of how insanely complex modern CPU design is.

In the end they came up with a design that is already performing top of class in the workloads that are most common, and it's unlikely we won't see improvements over time.

I mean if your concern is productivity, here's what the people building systems for the worlds largest production houses have to say: https://www.pugetsystems.com/labs/articles/12th-Gen-Intel-Co...?

> Overall, the 12th Gen Intel Core CPUs are terrific across the board, providing a large performance boost over the previous 11th Gen CPUs, and in almost every single case, handily out-performed AMD's Ryzen 5000 series. Intel's lead is larger at the i5 and i7 level, but even with the Core i9 12900K, Intel consistently came out on top.

I don't know why you're acting like they gave something up here... because their synthetic benchmarks aren't up to snuff?
As someone who experiences medical anxiety regularly, this reminds me of basically every dermatologist visit I’ve had.

The doctors who cut biopsies out of your skin don’t seem realize how much you’ll think about there words when you leave. “How long has that been there? That looks a little concerning. That seems strange.”

Doctors have to deal with patients of all kinds of mental fortitude of course, but it wouldn’t hurt to be clearer about procedures, concerns, etc.

For example, tell me “I bias towards taking a biopsy if I have even a little bit of doubt.”
In my opinion, it is not so much about the "type of projects" but more about the "understanding of your work" and ability to explain why/what you built.

I have interviewed candidates who supposedly had a great Github Repo of apps they built but couldn't answer simple questions like "Why POST, why not GET. Can you do GET instead of POST. If yes, why. If yes, Why not". They got mad at me and told me "haven't you looked at my Github". I replied "I did and that's why I am asking how you built that project".

If I am hiring entry level, I wouldn't care if you built a Game or a CRUD App. I would care how you built it and how far can you explain the process of building it. How much do you really understand of what you built. For example, let's say you built a "Contact Form". I want to understand do you really know the difference between GET vs POST requests (you will be surprised how many candidates fail at this). I couldn't care less if you can just memorize how to add a GET API. I am more interested in your understanding of it. I want to know how the form gets submitted to the server (lot of candidates don't know how an http Request is formed, header vs body etc). Lot of candidates truly don't know how an AJAX request works. For example, if you submit a Form using Ajax vs Regular action, whats the difference ?

So, build anything which you can explain and walk through the process of. I would at least hire you.
Exactly. It’s easy to lie, narcissists more than others are likely to flatter themselves. This kind of data is not all that accurate or helpful. It really doesn’t tell you anything.

I did a weekly "don't eat anything on Sunday and don't eat until Monday lunch" for about a year. Sunday afternoon/evening I'd be kinda groggy and grumpy. I'd wake up on Monday morning completely locked in - it felt like a high dose of adderol without ANY of the side effects. I'd get 2 days worth of work done in a morning. I'd always be bummed Monday afternoon because as soon as I ate the focus went away.

I'm going to go out on a limb and suggest that Lisp is, in fact, an albatross hanging around Emacs neck.

Using Lisp (and especially elisp) is not okay. Lisp has some very sharp corners that simply are not acceptable in modern languages. I use Lisp when I'm very resource constrained but still need an interpreted language--otherwise I use anything else.

Dynamic scoping is just stupid (fault of elisp). Not being to operate on a sequence is stupid. cons pairs to build everything is stupid. nil() terminated to signify lists is stupid. The pervasive necessity of metaprogramming macros is stupid. An inability to type things is stupid.

Lisp/Scheme encased itself in amber in the 1980's and refused to keep up with genuine improvements in programming languages. Sure it meant they missed out on the collective brain damage that was design patterns and object oriented--but it also meant that it missed out on good things, too.

Take a very hard look at Clojure and look at what parts of Lisp/Scheme Rich Hickey put a bullet in and which parts he kept. The Lispers still excoriate Clojure as "not a Lisp" and that perfectly sums up the problems with Lisp nowadays.
To be precise, some of the fuel does need to be glucose. There is no such phenomenon as solely relying on ketones for energy, and the brain is especially glucose greedy.

You're really claiming that an F1 will beat a Civic on a gravel track? Or perhaps you misread?

How about in the snow? How about a road with random 2-inch-high debris? How about a road with lanes of uneven pavement? And how's that air conditioning in the F1? Great for transporting kids too.

The F1 is designed to do exactly one thing exceptionally well, at the expense of practically everything else. It is the opposite of flexible.
