I am contrary. Around 12, I rejected homework, learned to manipulate and lie instead. It took many detentions and frustrated parents to get me reoriented. I can completely understand kids who don't like being told to be a rote learning little worker bee who does what's told without question. Why do this at all? Why do it this way? No one else cares, they just want it over with as fast as possible, but the same crap comes up over and over again as if to make kids comfortable being bored, and doing what they're told. It's such magnificent bullcrap.

Rejoice if your kid is difficult. They see a problem. Adults need to help them understand it.

I'd not heard this before, sounds cool. Do you have a reference handy? Thanks.

Great but quite preliminary, no?
I honestly have no idea what would convince someone who is so bent on being irrational. But one thing I find does get people riled a bit is convincing them they've been tricked. And a lot of gun rights people definitely have been tricked.
I honestly don't know about the state or progress of Guile Emacs. I know it exists, but I haven't followed it beyond that.

Assuming it gets "finished" (is any software ever finished?), it should be no-brainer as long as it provides backward compatibility with old elisp code. And open up the emacs ecosystem to Scheme and Javascript, which could make it much more attractive to newcomers. But, as they say, I'll believe it when I see it.

The trouble with Hurd, IMHO, is that I've run out of jokes. We used to joke that it would run Duke Nukem Forever out of the box, but that one actually got finished. Then it was Perl 6, but that has arrived, too. Star Citizen maybe?
Same. It makes sense to me intuitively: when you're hungry, you go into an alert "hunting mode". My sense of smell is normally very weak, but when I am hungry it increases by a factor of 100.

You can seemingly say "inn" and then follow it with "more" to do exactly what you're after.
which is all absolutely fantastic if you are following the script.
I don't understand how that explains the sense of speed-up?

E.g. when I read a novel, the last few pages don't fly by any faster than the first ones do.
Nature’s Spoils (2014)
Other efforts focus on content generated by individuals using that specific platform. Most of the best content is already available on other platforms like Twitter and Reddit. The key problem is how scattered that is, our service aggregates them.
I've always assumed part of it is more relative. Meaning: When I'm 5, 10 years old seems like a lifetime away... because it is. Going from 5 to 6 is, relatively speaking, the same as going from 50 to 60. I assume my brain has so much to look back on as I'm older to compare against that 1 year just "feels" like less now.

With that said, I'm sure there's a million explanations. And all of them are probably, at least somewhat, true.
> People prefer to buy all of their weekly groceries at a single store instead of chasing all over town

Right. The change only works when you switch to a model of buying your daily groceries, because the market is close, and smaller, and quick to get in and out of. You may still make a weekly or bi-weekly trip to the big market in a car to get bulk stuff, but each day's meals are based around the perishables that you bought earlier that day or the day before.

(Yes, this is hard, and it only worked for us when we lived in Chicago, and the market was a few blocks away or we passed by grocers on the way to and from work, but it was a nice way to live.)
Hey, one of SS14's game admins/contributors here. We've been hearing this for 4 years and it hasn't happened yet, so I don't see what exactly you're getting at when we're moving through development faster than ever and adding new stuff constantly.
Also, we're not a remake of /tg/station and I have not a clue where you get that impression, we like functionality and spritework from many codebases, and have put our own spin on many things as well.
The power relationship between a mall and a store has nothing to do with the one between you and some multi-billion dollar evil corp.
It still boggles my mind how ANYONE would sign off on a setup like this. How does no one see that this will fail without a single doubt.
Most of them do a decent job. Exceptions:

Chess - it's a solved problem, and the rest is pattern recognition that won't help. It's still a fun game, but no better than Candy Crush.

Strategy MMOs - they'll teach you leadership and training, but mostly taking responsibility. You'll learn to stay up at 3 AM putting your tribe above all else. You'll be pitted mostly against people who thought they could pay to win when things got bad enough.

This will be useful in the boating industry as well.

Most inland waterway inboards use marin-ized crate engines; often this is the Chevy line (v6, v8s), but the Ford Raptor V8 provided a nice alternative in ~2016.

281HP is also right in line with the market ~280-320hp.
Haha yea I do the exact same thing. Never considered it might be awkward, just assumed they were down to talk.

That's called opt-in.
This is a completely vapid article. The headline implies an answer. This short article starts with "nobody knows" and ends with "one guy's random idea is...".
This is nothing new. In tech circles we've been talking about this since at least the Zynga-Facebook era (eg [1]) and probably much earlier.

I mean it's good advice. Often you don't have a choice or at least the alternatives are so bad you'll hamstring yourself by avoiding a potential loss (eg Youtube).

There are risks on another's platform but there can be benefits too.

React isn't a framework. A more appropriate comparison would be Angular vs Next.js:

https://www.npmtrends.com/@angular/core-vs-next

But yeah, I wasn't trying to reply that React isn't still popular.
If true, how do you fight this without actually going on more unique experiences?

I like to think there are some weird swirly images or static noise I can watch/listen to while going about my life that will "novelize" everything. hah.
Tell HN: I built a $5/mo JavaScript-free Rails app
I'm happy about an app I've been working on for over a year. I'm still wrangling with the 'cookies.js' file placed on the client, with a session id, otherwise it's free of any javascript. I hadn't used Redis in the past, had been content with sub-second page loads. Now I'm getting unbelievable (to me) results under 50ms for most pages, except 3rd party API calls for coin prices and service rates.

I'm getting my head around the content security policy, extracting the google fonts into my apps domain, not using analytics.

It's only running on 1cpu/1gb/1appserver, which I've pared down from 4cpu/4gb/2appserver. So it's $5/mo for the VPS. I may have some knowlege to share, if you're interested.

It's market fundamentalism to posit that markets for things should be the default and there needs to special reasons for something not to be a market. Like all powerful persuasion techniques, its power derives from what questions get asked rather than what the answer ends up being.

Plenty of things rightfully live outside of the market framework. You can't pay a teacher to give you a better grade, you can't pay to get a promotion at work, you can't pay to win a olympic medal.

Market fundamentalist logic is to try and jam markets into more and more places in our lives under the logic of: well, if you can't come up with a reason this shouldn't be a market, then we're going to turn it into a market.
>I was saying that it is very impractical to drive without a smartphone

Man, I remember driving in the 80s, we just wandered around lost for two decades. I live in West Undershirt, PA now because I just happened to end up there when I went out for pizza. One time, around 1998, I went to visit a friend in Houston. All I had were some sketchy instructions given over email, and I ended up a warlord ruling over the stretch of I-45 between Juan's Tacos and the Sherwin-Williams.

My BMI is 21.0 (6'3", 168lb), and I've done OMAD (one meal a day) intermittent fasting for about a year. Mostly I did it for digestion, which has improved significantly. I would say that it's also helped to control my weight, which would bump up about 10lb otherwise. Effects on energy/focus are mixed: there's less of a mid-day slump, but also I think overall energy levels have been somewhat lower.
They use Google safesearch to send all your browsing data to Google, and use Google as the default search engine. Tell me how why its not part of the monopoly you mentioned? How is this fighting Google at all?
Wow. 12 previous posts on the same site. Perhaps the YC "dupe" filter needs some work.
Does it really? To me time speeds up when I am not doing new things. When I do new things time goes as slow now as it did 20 years ago. Just pull up your life by its roots and time slows down to a crawl, then as you get used to your new life it gradually speeds up towards infinity, so you just repeat this process to perceptually live longer.

It is kind of horrifying though - it is in your face evidence of cognitive decline.
This reminds me of my boy. He had a linux box and used it for minecraft at an early age. He memorized java -jar pretty quickly. Eight years later at 14 he's deep into retro gaming and emulators and to be honest half the stuff he's looking at looks way out of my league. Most of his free time is spent compiling and fixing old games, mostly for himself. I was blown away when he showed me his own doom levels/game. He's on GitHub and has already contributed to several projects.
To put it a different way: for the 2 year old last week was about 1% of their entire existence.

For that 50 year old it was just 0.03%.
I specifically started doing photography so I could do game development in the off-season.

It turns out it’s hard to completely drop projects in the spring/summer and pick them up in the winter. I’d love to keep pecking at them over the photography season but I have a hell of a hard time getting anything done when I can only dedicate an hour or so an evening to it.
Having more physical registers than logical means the CPU can do optimizations, opcodes don't have to be as big (it takes more bits to encode more registers), compatibility with older binary code is maintained, and CPUs at different price points can have different numbers of physical registers while all being able to run the same binaries.

(I don't know if any manufacturer actually does that last thing, however.)
Thanks for the apology ehnto. My OP should have been more clear in its intent.
I agree with your theory much more than that of the article. I’m not sure why, but I’ve always had the same theory so maybe it’s just confirmation bias.

At any rate, I’m old and I can confirm that the speeding up isn’t just a myth.
I've never seen a CMS implement something like this. Before I started my current company I would do web consulting on the side. I've built hundreds of Jekyll sites for people, and I would always create a variables file to manage information like this:

- Company address

- Primary email

- Legal name

- Display name

- etc.

Those would then all have key value pairs like:

- legal_name="Company Co Inc."

- display_name="Company"

It's a simple use case, but if the company ever changes their name, it's one change I have to make. Apply this to any repeatable bits of text and you can see how not having this is a major pain with tools like Webflow. The is especially true because I can't just globally search and replace like I can in a text editor.
This is work, for sure, but honestly, it's one of the easiest chassis fabrications that someone can undertake. It's a box that sits between frame rails. You'll have to make considerations for chassis flex and ensuring it can handle the weight, but those are relatively easy.
I have not heard this. Can you share more? I’m familiar with ketosis but unfamiliar with it in conjunction with fasting. Or benefits for otherwise healthy people. Ketosis has lots of downsides for normally healthy people.

Ketosis is literally the start of starvation, so I'm dubious of widespread health benefits. I know it is extremely beneficial to people with a history of seizures, but that's it.
We don't understand the dynamics of "web3" at all yet, but early entrants look pretty much like another layer of abstraction that simply rolls up to the same thing.
Because you'd have Hours Of Fun with all the drums being triplets if you want to sequence them.

4/4 with triplets, swung rhythms, etc are not supported by their design.

And while you can record things, editing becomes clunky when the grid isn't there for you. At that point, it's easier to re-record the part. Or switch to another DAW.
I actually disagree with your novel example. When I read a novel, the first half of the book is building up to the second half. There's so much uncompressed information that I take in. Learning the characters, learning the environment, etc. While I read the same WPM, the second half FEELS faster to me because now I'm on to the good stuff and the details are behind me. I'm over the hump.
I agree that living up to standards, and specifically the engineering / operations efforts improvements to do them, is valuable.

However, it's not hard to imagine automated flows for verifying this. In this case, specifying endpoints and providing automation scripts for doing GPDR flows takes care of most of it.

A lot of these are converging on the same check boxes, so get rid of the people and $ aspect. A team should be able to put together COTS OSS, run on a cheapo cloud, and test as part of CI/CD . We need to reach the point properly configured RoR/Django on docker + some sidecars (ELK, autotls, ..) can do that.
The example is definitely a memory leak, which in Haskell land means that the un-evaluated expressions keep building up into what is known as a "thunk" in memory. Example expression: ((((0+1)+2)+3)... ad infinitum)

Sure, the memory would eventually get freed in one of two cases: 1) your program crashes due to being OOM, or 2) you finally evaluate the thunk (print it, use it somewhere, etc) and spike your CPU as it is computed. Definitely not good when you are expecting linear performance.

The author fixes this by adding the BangPattern language extension, which allows the expressions passed forward to be evaluated on demand to the minimal expression before producing a value itself (also known as Weak Normal Head Form).

That all said, the more interesting part of the article as how they use cachegrind/valgrind to identify the performance characteristics of the underlying machine code, and give us some tips on what to look for if we are diving into deep level performance issues like their example.
I've heard this on HN before and it seems less likely than an actual neuroscientific interpretation - we don't perceive time in a fractional sense on a moment-to-moment basis.
I have many OpenBSD systems and happily use openntpd, which is installed by default. It is perfect? No. Does it have a small attack surface? Yes. Does it keep my system’s time consistently correct and does it work well enough for this? Yes.

>it's another thing for your child's instructor to go along and demand that you use this broken system instead of providing reasonable affordances

I am not sure, but it might be that the teachers are not only encouraged but required to use these systems?

>you don't own an iOS or Android device, or you have no smartphone at all? Is there an actual legal requirement for you to contribute on an ongoing basis to the bottom-line of select tech companies like Apple and Google in order to participate in public life—as if it's on par with the necessity to pay for e.g. renewing your government-issued ID?

That really became a problem here in Germany, when politicians proclaimed that "digital/remote learning" will safe the day in covid times. Not realizing that a lot of kids, especially in the poor neighborhoods, nor their parents, actually have any capable devices for that. Or fast enough internet (with enough mobile data) to support zoom meetings and such each day.
A lot of people need to see this. If you don't control something, you will be disappointed eventually. Philosophically this can even be extended to your mortality.
Honestly I think my work and job seriously compounds this effect. Theres just no way to have so many unique experiences staring at a computer all day.
I actually took inspiration from nature and designed a trunk + branches kind of traffic system, where most of the traffic would go through a large series of "trunk" roads and rail, and the rest of the traffic would be distributed like branches.

I thought it would get me into rigid patterns like SimCity did, but it was actually very organic.

JioPhone Next, the Made-for-India Smartphone Created with Google
I'm part of the team maintaining the "boot 2 gecko" aka b2g fork (we push it to https://github.com/kaiostech/gecko-b2g) so I have some experience building a non-firefox product on top of gecko, and maintaining a non-upstream platform (the "android without java" stack called Gonk).

At some point we compared gecko with a blink port on Gonk, maintaining both while we were doing performance comparison on low end mobile devices. We were looking both at memory usage and page loading speed.
I was expecting to see blink way ahead of gecko, but that was not the case at all. For some content blink was a bit better, for some it was gecko, but never with a large gap either.

Maintenance of the blink product was not easy, with barely documented internals changing a lot (it's very different to build a new product on top of blink compared to just fork an existing one like chromium). I'm not blaming the blink team, that makes sense in the context of what they do, and we were not as familiar with blink code base as with gecko. Finally we stayed on gecko because this was the best choice for us (eg. including team velocity and the amount of non standard apis to rewrite).

In my opinion if you want to start on a new browser product, the main Chromium benefits for a commercial project are:
- web compat, which unfortunately is self sustaining.
- licensing. The MPL vs. BSD doesn't matter for open source projects, but many companies (especially VC funded) are adverse to copyleft licenses. Gecko's xpcom architecture was actually not a bad fit with the MPL, since you can ship new xpcom components without publishing their code if you don't want, but that didn't make much of difference (some chipset vendors used the capability for FirefoxOS to replace the implementation of telephony apis with closed source ones).

But you need to be comfortable being subject to the whims of google (and a little bit MS now). For instance, consider the changes to web extension resource blocking capabilities with the "manifest v3": some forks plan to keep the resource blocking api working, but it's very unclear if they will be able to do so in the long term without a growing complexity of their fork that may become too high.

If you are an open source project, please don't cement Google's dominance of the web by using chromium.

Gecko deserves to have a future - it may just not be Mozilla's corp current leadership that is the best for that to happen.
