The reason why we imagine time pass faster when we get older is related to how we experience and remember events during life.

As events excite us, the perception of that particular Time-Event is short but since we were fully engaged at that time, we remember it more in detail and thus taking longer. Vis versa, time spend in boredom is perceived as passing slowly but since nothing out of the ordinary is happening, we remember it as a quick period with nit much detail.

Couple that with the exciting youth and dreadful routine as an adult, your life in your older ages becomes repetitive plus, depending on how much knowledge you like to consume,feels easier to predict and thus by default less exciting. Experience kills the novelty and partially the excitement, resulting in the opinion that when you wake up one morning feeling like the past 5 years have passt with a blink of an eye, that time flies by.

I think that hobbies besides your daily routine can help you battle that feeling of lost years.

On the other hand I found something else helpful: you gotta figure out your calibration of your routine:novelty ratio. If you are a person that likes 60% novelty and 40% routine but you are stuck in a job that is very repetitive or doesn't leave you with enough energy after work, you'll end up earlier in that "life is passing too quickly category".

But if you somewhat can adjust your life to that calibration then you experience the right amount of novelty that makes you feel that life takes exactly as long as needed.

Ah! Really interesting!
A single patent can be bought for any amount, such as for life saving vaccines. I wouldn't like to see that price inflated by tax dollars, thus further reducing competition to where vaccine production becomes state-owned. Good thing the public will never go for this so I don't need to worry.
I've seen people lose their data on their own blog, forget to renew their domain name and have it takes over by squatters demanding ransom, had their machines hosting Mastadon die on them leaving users high-and-dry, exposing keys to the world and getting their database stolen/dropped... The list goes on. It's not as simple as "kingdom bad, self-reliance good". Hence asking for a cost-benefit analysis.
Software is not unique in this regard, all patentable subject matters work the same way. Abstract designs are patentable. A specific reduction to practice of that design is copyrightable. Both are independently licensed in practice regardless of the subject matter.

It works this way in chemical engineering, for example, where I have some experience. You license the process and the implementation of the process independently, because they are not the same work; the patent in the former and the copyright in the latter.
That's fine as long as it's ok to point out the negatives of youth.

But even that's not fine. Better to recognize we're all different, whether it be age, race, creed, orientation, cilantro/no-cilantro, whatever. VI vs EMACS tho - 'nother story.

Show HN: DNS-based alternative to Semantic Web – 23M data points now in DNS
We’ve just launched NUM [1] in the UK, it’s an alternative to the semantic web [2] but based in DNS. We’ve published 23 million data points about 4.8m UK businesses.

We had some really interesting HN feedback when we previously posted about one of our example apps [3] so keen to hear what the community has to say this time round.

Probably not. Elements of it have already made it (i.e. React, Redux), but pure FP has a learning difficulty curve that is too steep for enterprise software, meaning most of the apps out there. From my experience, companies don't mind increasing the number of engineers on a project but they almost never like to increase the sophistication of the code.

Schmidt and Kissinger: The Challenge of Being Human in the Age of AI
I am not convinced that this is better ('hand drawn diagrams'). We've been drawing diagrams of all kinds for a very long time with no hurdles whatsoever [1]. Millions of diagrams have been drawn by boring-big-corp orgs in PowerPoint. This just reads like a hipster fetish over aesthetics, not substance. And if we're talking about aesthetics, I much prefer Monodraw [2]. I have a bias for having appeal for boring things may be because it works and gets out of the way. Emojis in your readme? No thanks.

That said, the app itself has great UX, especially onboarding. Just straight to drawing mode. Kind of like autodraw.io.

Ask HN: Best way to ramp up my AWS-fu from scratch in 2021
Hi all! We’re considering a move to AWS from an on-premise Kubernetes installation.
For someone who hasn’t played much with AWS before, how would you recommend to most efficiently get up to speed with best practices, architecture patterns, common pitfalls, etc.?

Ideally, we would not lift-and-shift our applications, but instead rearchitect important parts to actually take advantage of AWS’ benefits.

So - any great resources you can recommend? Courses, books, blog posts - any recommendations would be appreciated.

Thanks!

It is, I was mostly just making a jab at NVIDIA.
> I wouldn't like to see that price inflated by tax dollars, thus further reducing competition to where vaccine production becomes state-owned.

The entire point is that the patent goes into the public domain. The government pays money to cause it to not be patented anymore.

> Good thing the public will never go for this so I don't need to worry.

What does the public have anything to do with it? It's Congress that makes the laws. There are surely some companies with lobbyists who would like to make some tax dollars. Let a bit of corruption do something good for once.

They're not talking about that kind of extension. They mean ones that are basically an overgrown bookmark, sometimes with added marketing.
All of it.

Think of it this way. How would you do routing in a React app from scratch:

1. Listen for changes in the URL.

2. Parse the new URL into a routing object.

3. Pass the routing object down through the component hierarchy.

You can do that in maybe 5-10 lines of straightforward code.
Nobody outside this space knows what’s going on. Even a vast majority in it don’t know. It’s the most bananas thing I’ve ever seen. Probably in our lives. But it’s kinda expected, we just went through a situation worse than the worst thing that happened last century. Times, they are always a changing. I grew up to value a dollar. And I see people selling jpegs for more than an average person makes in a lifetime. I’ve seen thousands of assets manifest from the ether. I’ve seen billions of real honest to goodness dollars being tokenized and bounced through a dozen jurisdictions, and disappear into hundreds of thousands of places protected by naught but a very large integer. And We have barely scratched the surface.
Thanks I'll check these out

I believe the patent thicket argument holds and has merit, whether you restrict the context to software patents or enlarge the context to most industries.

Let's also not forget the broader context here, which is software patents.
Got mine last week and not only is it faster, the power usage is crazy good. I took it to town for the first time yesterday, thought I'd do some coding between meetings for a few hours. Battery is still over 90%. I actually don't know what the thing sounds like with fans on, because it hasn't happened yet. My old machine from 2019 would have been down to half power at least, and the fans used to come on with just two monitors plugged in and not much workload.
There was that one presidential assassination attempt by drone, but it didn't succeed (and wasn't in the US.) It used a bomb, I guess since it's easier (don't have to add actuators for the trigger, or targeting or anything.)

Gun drones seem a lot more effective, though. They could hang out at a distance inconspicuously, up high, and fire on the target. Takes a lot more skill though.

DIY electronics and 3D printing will become as taboo as DIY chemistry, I fear.
>Is there is a patent for the government to have to buy?

There would be no patents.

>Also, now there is only one buyer.

You could also sell them to other governments, hospitals, people, etc.

>what happens to the company that spent a billion dollars developing a working vaccine, only to have someone else beat them to the prize by a few days?

It's possible for competing products to exist. Is yours cheaper or more effective than your competitors? If you wanted your money building a bad product then tough luck.

>How do you do a prize for inventing something you don't know you want because it doesn't exist yet?

How do you make a vaccine for a disease that you don't know about? You don't.

I'm not sure why you are talking about prizes. Along with just selling them normally, you could also have an unlock system like kickstarter. If you raise $x then they will release the drug, or they could kickstart the entire process. Or instead of a kickstarter they could find investors.
What I dislike about Excalidraw is the handwriting font. While it might look cute it hurts readability, which is something which I believe shouldn't be a compromise for stuff like technical documents.
That's just the current form the state is taking in the US.

As a counterexample, there was a lot you could accuse the USSR of, but enforcing corporate interests was not one of them.
Sure, algorithms also receive patents in other fields. The point is that algorithms were not intended to be patented, not that algorithms are unique to software. We say "End Software Patents" because that's an easy way to see how the system has gone haywire.
> While there's no direct alternative to ci(

The shortcut CTRL-W (CMD-W on Mac) could be used in IntelliJ for this. But not sure, I switched back to Vim some time ago...
At 63–75 years, programmable general-purpose computers and networks are so new that it’s still possible to claim the most obvious solution to many problems simply by being first to think about them. USPTO’s bar for what is “obvious” is skewed towards older subjects with a lot more written and indexed prior art for an examiner to cite, and doesn’t weigh likelihood of easy reinvention.

And now there’s enough money at stake to trigger a land rush to fence off entire problems using solutions that just don’t merit protection.
> They could do something gnarly like fit 8 sockets on a single board

Those sockets need to communicate with each other, and extremely quickly. And that I/O is very, very expensive in terms of power. Even with that you still end up with poor performance scaling, especially with anything that isn't numa aware (which almost nothing is)

So no, that extrapolation doesn't make sense. But even ignoring that missing cost, 8x M1 Max's would be ~800w, give or take. That would work in a Mac Pro replacement, but that'd still be a significant power increase over many of the existing models.
Definitely this. Use a simulator for a while first.
I understood my comment to be providing a counter-example, an exception to the rule, in the context of "all patents".
By “turtles all the way down” I understood you to be saying it’s an endless (or hopeless) process for a small inventor to make use of the patent system. I don’t believe this is accurate.
If all these ecosystems are so fragile, then it's our responsibility as a species to re-engineer them to be more robust.
Just to be pedantic, it's post-tax contributions that allow (very high earners) to hit that. You may choose to do a mega backdoor roth with those post-tax contributions if your plan allows it, but you can hit the limit without doing a mega backdoor, just by contributing post-tax to your 401(k).

Yes, you can use Tailwind utility classes within your own CSS files. The Tailwind syntax for creating custom classes is @apply. Here's how they recommend approaching the problem.

https://tailwindcss.com/docs/extracting-components

I find @apply useful for styling HTML that I don't directly control, such as rendered Markdown. Otherwise, I do prefer Tailwind's suggestion to use templates/components instead of custom classes, wherever it makes sense.
Excalidraw might be good for it's intended purpose but I was introduced to it as an online interview tool and for that it completely sucked.

The most important missing feature at the time was that to doesn't show other user's selections unlike many other collaboration tools. That means what you see is not what you're collaborators see. If you grab some shapes they don't see that you grabbed them. If you highlight a word or item in a list, they don't see you highlighted it.

Further, unlike pretty much all similar software, they don't connect shapes and text. Place a shape, double click, a text box appears in the center of the shape. Drag the shape, the text doesn't go with it. This makes it super inefficient for most common use cases. People might want to separate the text from the shape but I'd argue that's an exception and should not be the default.
Yes, you are right it's very nuanced and also a bit subjective. So it doesn't actually make much sense to argue about it, much less here. Anyway, thanks for your comments, they are insightful.
Can you overclock the regular m1 then?
Willow tree branches are still used ins some modern hydrailic infrastructure construction today. And nor for historical reasons, it is still practical and cost effective. In the past the branches had two functions: as a rigid frame and as a filter layer (to prevent soil from being washed away from under the erosion protection). The frame functions to make the filter a rigid structure that one can sink to the bottom in a controlled manner by dumbing rocks on it. In modern construction geotextiles are used as filters, but these are sometimes made rigid with bundles of willow tree branches.
Coming from the midwest as well, I've also got a take on it:

The ideal political capital is being the person who saves other people from embarrassing "good faith" screwups. Cynically, bad-faith ones (where they're being derelict or doing something sketchy) on their part can give you some blackmail, but there's a related concept that happens, that I don't really have a name for (whitemail?), where someone just makes an "honest mistake" where they're working in good faith and working hard, but things just go wrong. And you help them out, and guard their reputation. You get stuff like that on your ledger, where you've quietly saved their ass in a tough spot, and it's solid gold.

If you get that snowballing, you can build a "band of brothers" (or some other sappy military meme). It becomes a great environment to work in because you know people have your back, and are defending you; not merely your reputation, but also are defending (through maintenance) the actual quality of your material work.

Machiavelli had it backwards with his classic quote of "it is better to be feared than to be loved" — being loved is what makes it possible for others to fear you. Love is genuine loyalty. Loyalty is genuine political power. And in most organizations, that's really the only thing that makes people fear.

I imagine it's as unlimited as it gets considering the sun is going to explode in some billion of years. However, I have no trust in having "unlimited" storage on a service where I'm not explicitly paying for it.
I mean, it's not age-ist. Age-related? Age-correlated? Age-esque? Yes, for sure. But "age-ist" brings with it a connotation of being derisive which is definitely not part of this conversation.
It's still possible for traditional sites using things like PHP, Python with Jinja templates, Node with EJS templates, etc.

It's amazing how a few people have left such a big mark on a part of the investment banking industry. I missed Kirat right before exiting BAML but met all his "disciples" and Dubno..including his miniature dinosaur and telescope in his office :). Very much felt like tech religion where no open debate on merits and drawbacks could be discussed. And a lot has changed in terms of engineering innovation with turnover since that era...
I'm 60. I'm learning to be sensitive about it, while also being aware that there are those that are younger who have insights I don't.

It's a partnership, and it works better when one tries to understand that roles evolve over time - for one's self and for others. Also understand that stereotypes of age (and many other things) are not a great way to go through life.
Wow, I had a lot of fun with that link. Especially seeing the ones I got wrong with high confidence. Love it, thanks for sharing.
The West normally lacks understanding what hard work, innovation and intelligence is a universal value. During my years at Stanford I had the opportunity to learn about the North Korea nuclear program and how the West never imagine the advancement they produced with very limited resources and without Russian help. Couple of professors visited the nuclear facilities as part of the UN investigation and were shocked with the intelligence, and innovation of Korean engineers. The rest is history and we have now a North Korea with nuclear capabilities
Hello Sean,

I remember Slang when I first saw the code, a parse tree based evaluator in 1997. Come on folks. Separate parsing from evaluation. Opaque types with message passing. Inference anyone? Clearly no one read hindly milner.

Add parse time optimizations, add locals, hey globals and locals weren't handled properly. Python in the 90s anyone?

Shitty KV store with 32K object limits related to some random OS2 btree limits. Add huge pages.

Deal with random rubbish related to inconsistent non transactional indices.

Figure out you should layer nodes in a dag. A dag is topologically 2 dimensions, fairly limiting.

Figure out that's somewhat similar to layering databases, it's just another dimension.

Hmm bottom up evaluators, you actually need top down as well, create a turing complete specification. well, limit it a bit.

Ah KLL points out that layers on top of dimensions end up being combinatorial, but you can actually cache the meta traversal and it's small n.

Lots of people point out category theory parallels. Haskell is pretty but completely unusable. I'm a math guy, and it's still unusable, I don't like feeling smart when I do simple things.

But interestingly creating imperative functions with pure input/outputs with implied function calls is pretty interesting. You can create an OOP paradigm with self and args as known roots aka linda tuple spaces.

Ah and each tuple space point can be scheduled independently, some issues with serialization and locality...

Go to another bank and choose to use python, foolishly decide to rely on pickle. Do that twice. Bad idea.

But write a much better petabyte scale multi-master optimistic locking database with 4 operations. Insert, Upsert, Update, delete. WAL as a first class API.

Finally decide that writing a coding scheme to convert python objects to json is not really hard. And of course cloud native and cloud agnostic is really the only way to go nowadays.

I'm always confused why people complain about Athena/Quartz, hell we wrote it all, fix it if you don't like it. Open source it if you want other people to contribute. If we made stupid decisions on pickling data, well there's a version id, add json serialization, it's not hard, don't take things as given.
Let me cut this foolish conjecture short.

The seven deadly sins:

Pride, wrath, sloth, lust, greed, envy, and gluttony.

The seven cardinal virtues:

Humility, meekness, zeal, chastity, generosity, charity, and temperance.

These were laws, but these are now suggestions, and touchstones.

I leave them before you as your tools.
This is wonderful. I’m going to see if there is anything I can build for this.
