I have had really bad issues with bluetooth mice on my M1 macbook, the lag is so bad. Bluetooth is basically unusable for me so I had to switch to the logitech unifying receiver which has been flawless. This seems to be related to using airpods at the same time.

Otherwise I have been very happy with the laptop.
Did I miss the falsehood about family name always following personal name? (Doesn't apply to Chinese, Japanese, Korean, or Hungarian names.)
Think about it like this. The goals are attain employment and maximize compensation. That’s it.

That said you are probably best off training machine learning to do this for you. It won’t suffer the nonverbal faults associated with dishonesty, because truth to a machine is how effectively it completes the assigned goal.
Not necessarily patent law, but litigation in general. It would be a completely different matter when there's a legal dispute on in tech, say on a project where a deliverable is a software product, if the lawyer had a programming background.

The conversation would be so different, whether interacting with both parties, the potential experts, the judge. It would be just an incredibly valuable asset.

Not just in litigation, but drafting contracts having a programming background and knowing how projects go, how estimates work, and the common problems would also be helped if the lawyer drafting them has a programming background.
I love that Apple hasn’t been able to fix their Bluetooth bugs in forever. I always hope they’ll be fixed with the next OS version, maybe the next MacBook, maybe the next iPhone.

Nope. My AirPods have regular issues and my Magic Mouse regularly disconnects.

I hoped my next M1 would solve it. Guess not.
It’s Dropbox…
>The difference between ML and symbolic AI is that ML works and symbolic AI doesn't.

There was a point when it was the other way around, this is not static but the result of resources being poured. The data heavy, computational heavy, black box style of ML gives power to large business over small business. So it's seen as a safer bet than symbolic A.I. This in turn makes it work better, which makes it an even safer bet. Notice that startups dream of being big business so they still pick ML.

Also notice that in some domains ML is still behind symbolic A.I., for instance a lot of robotics and autonomous vehicles.
Couldn’t you just look at a list of tags?
It's often underappreciated how _hard_ it can be to tell why you want something.

I've spent weeks thinking as rationally as I could about a decision, and with years of hindsight realised it was based mainly on what others wanted.

If anyone feels they've solved this, I'd love to hear how.
If you can get it built for arm. I've got so much build errors I didn't bother to check.
In my university we can take photos after a topic was explained. The prof told us, that he wants us to understand the topic and ask questions while he was explaining.
I think you’re talking about the opinions of two different groups which is why they conflict.

I’m fully vaxxed plus a booster and I don’t really want to be around unmasked unvaxxed people if I can help it. Like the vaccine isn’t magic, the effectiveness drops over time and more exposures compounds the risk. There’s zero gain to be around a high risk group, especially when it’s so easy to avoid right now. And I still wear a mask and encourage others to as well (not that it matters
because there are still mandates) because I don’t want to accidentally be an asymptotic carrier to someone, especially someone unvaccinated — I have friends and family with weak immune systems and kids. Wearing a mask costs me nothing, especially now that it’s cold and keeps my face warm, and might do some good.

I also think it is monumentally stupid that schools around here opened. Sure yeah, pack kids in poorly ventilated rooms for 8 hours a day, nothing bad will happen there.
> not any worse

About 6x worse perf in my specific case.
And here we should note that LLVM (by its creator who already worked on it at Apple at this point) was offered to GNU and the FSF in 2005 but were ignored/chided [1] until a decade later when GCC/GNU/FSF realized what they had been offered ten years earlier and then had to grapple with what they had rejected, once LLVM had taken hold [2, 3], including proposals to try to refuse LLVM patches to emacs, out of some sense of petty NIH thing [the whole thread 2 and 3 are part of].

That's what wikis originally were. Wikipedia's curated ontology is an exception that only looks like the rule because most OG wikis have died off.
My favorite is a vacuum. Just use it with the handle extension mode and bare floor setting. When you get near them, due to the air movement they try to hold on tighter to the wall and don’t move, which makes it easier.
I will play devil advocate

>and still NoSQL has a place and a use case, just like anything else that exists.

What actually makes you believe that it's the NoSQL that has "some use cases" and relational databases are "default ones" instead of NoSQL/no-relational by default?
Ah so that is why slash is the search shortcut in so many apps, like Google ones for example.
A "car" can easily be double decker and have hundreds of places (280 for a double decker TGV car); even a single deck can easily have more than a hundred places in non first class; meanwhile a traditional short haul airplane ( eg. A320 or 737 ) is in the <200 range. So your argument doesn't really hold up.

Mandatory reading for all new juniors. Better yet, in teams that rely on heavy domain knowledge sharing and complex problems or designs, annual review by everyone.
For humans it might occasionally throw off your opponent psychologically, but it rarely actually works. Computers will, however, always find a refutation very, very quickly and then you're just in a worse position.
Ask HN: Can you request a copy of notes made during interviews you went through?
I recently went through a bunch of interviews for FAANG positions and I’m wondering if CA law allows someone to request copies of notes made by interviewers regardless of any NDAs signed.
Companies don't have self-respect and competent managers are necesserarily hypocritical, but your point is right for another reason: someone who speaks truth to power like that won't fit a typical team of hypocrites. A hiring manager would think: "if this dude disrespects my authority now, why is he going to respect it later? better to hire that less stellar candidate who at least will be manageable."
Something that's always amazed me doing live sound work, is how sensitive mics are to what I'd class as practically inaudible noises.

Say I have a mic on a stand at the back of a room (i.e. Earthworks M30), someone can enter the door from the opposite side, and quietly walk somewhere else in the room. The mic will pick up each step they're making in a pretty obvious fashion on a spectrograph in Smaart. Or a fan from an LED light hanging from truss in the ceiling.
I agree, it is a mess.

I had a little success by simplifying the interop layer. If you can wrap your scala code in simple classes that expose only Java-compatible structure, then you can remove additional complexity of java into scala interop.
Cut down on the courses, increase the amount of actual work. There was an article about this on the front page just yesterday -

One of the business for interviewers our company has is to leave a good impression even on a weak candidate. This makes for an overall better experience and, should the candidate become a better fit in the future, we do not want to lose them.
A gmail tab consumes a lot of memory for me in safari but no int chrome. Maybe it has something to do with google products ?
In Greek first names are conjugated. Also last names change based on gender.
GDP per capita maps excellently to dignity. The richer we get the less grinding, soul sucking poverty there is. The fewer children die of easily preventable diseases. The longer people live. The less people work jobs they hate just because they need sustenance. The more people work jobs they like. The more of their life people spend retired or just not working "in education".

Insofar as wealth makes life less nasty and brutish it probably makes life more loving but money buys a lot of dignity.
I try not to go more than three folders deep (starting from ~). I don't mind a lot of files in a folder, search helps me with that.
Unicode text boxes with no validation other than a (generous) length limit and unicode validation is exactly the right approach. Arbitrary assumptions and limitations littered throughout the code is not.

>>>And talk is cheap. I remember article about how police unions in whatever US city claimed that 10 000 police officers will quit if they have to get vaccinated. The mandate went through and the number who quit was 36 or so.

I wonder what city this would be? Maybe LA? Chicago had to pause the mandate for law enforcement due to the union backlash.[1] New York lost ~9,000 public workers (not all police though) due to their mandate.[2]

>>>when push comes to shove, that means we can still save the world.

Except that the vaccine efficacy falls off of a cliff over time, so unless all 7 billion of us are gonna get boosters every 3 months, what is the real plan to "save the world"? If COVID is here to stay, at some point we need to add "COVID patients" to our baseline stats that drive our understanding of ICU bed requirements, and then just return to normal. At the very least "Asia normal" where people just understand to wear masks most of the day in crowded places.
And despite my love of netbooks from that era, part of what had me switch to Vim/LaTeX was my cheap ~$100 netbook not being very quick with large documents in an editor like LibreOffice.

Also a random thought: the netbook had also come with "windows 7 starter edition", which didn't let you change the wallpaper, much to my frustration. They went so far as (I believe) hashing the image, so if you edited it at all then it would show a black screen. [1]

I think that was what got me into Linux, despite years of losing access to wifi every time I updated and lost the Broadcom wifi drivers. My current laptop doesn't even have an ethernet port, I wonder how people get into Linux now.

[1]: The argument of "this laptop is resource constrained so it needs a simpler version of windows" seems weak when they go to such great lengths to enforce it. Maybe it was more about selling it for cheap and expecting some people to upgrade? Imagine paying $60 for windows for a <$150 netbook. (Maybe it was actually $200, I forget)
> a growing economy might organically increase the need for lawyers.

I've long thought that; the need for lawyers grows non-linearly with population, because the need is correlated with the number of transactions, which would tend to increase (exponentially? factorially?) with population.

Forgive me, there is nothing to explain. I bring paper and pencil. Boring.
That would be the same for OPs use case. He’s using a M1 MacBook Pro so nothing would change. The M1 devices don’t support more than 16 GB RAM, too.
Interesting - once I got into a rythym I didn't find tex-ing live lectures actually that time consuming. I think it really depends on the field of math though, maybe?

I also use a markdown + inline latex setup rather than tex from scratch.
Been using M1 Pro for a week now. Docker (amd64) runs waaay slower. App crash (mostly Safari) at least once a day. Haven't noticed memory leaks.

If you equate "consuming information" with learning, yes you are right that learning in public is more time-consuming than learning in private.

However, there are several studies[1] that show dramatic improvements in retention and understanding from material vs. just studying it. So if you consider retention and understanding to be the goal outcomes of learning, forcing yourself to structure your thoughts about the material enough to communicate it with others has clear benefits to learning rate.

Emacswiki is one active one still like that and the effort to replace it with MediaWiki was ultimately abortive. C2 is also big but I think mostly dead.

The real take away here is DB performance optimization (imo performance in general) is freaking hard and even people who’d successfully optimized something like OP often totally misunderstand why it actually worked. Pay for an expert advice
I've been having some sort of severe performance issue in one form or another since Mojave/Catalina or so with a 2017 MBP and a 2020 M1 Mac Mini.

The symptoms is always generally poor performance after the system has been running a while (4h to a week, varies), usually with WindowServer using CPU cycles non-stop and UI that felt choppy across all programs.

This seemed to happen frequently after "opening many files", like doing some recompiling with Xcode for a few hours, or indexing a large volume with Spotlight. Rebooting helps temporarily.

Today I realized that data read/written since boot was about 1TB in a few hours on a brand new OS install, and I traced this back to the com.apple.Safari.History process. Somehow having bookmarks and previously using Safari 15.x caused a huge amount of I/O that wouldn't stop - the solution was to remove all bookmarks and reading list items. Performance was immediately back to normal, no reboot needed.

So just logging in with your iCloud id, you could be "importing" whatever performance problem you're having on a new install.

I recommend you reboot and take a look at your disk I/O stats - maybe this will help someone!

Nice thoughts but let's not assume academia is the powerhouse of advancement, it's just one layer.

Making useful things with all the grinding that goes in product development is hard. All the little bity components, managing hugely complicated supply chains, these are not petty jobs.

We could literally shift some people in Academia over to things like that, like science of supply chains.
At my previous job, a particular database was designed using ascii strings fields for a particular field rather than unicode. If you then query with a string in unicode format, the database decided that the comparison should be done in unicode. The only way was to table scan and convert all ascii fields to unicode on the fly. It was found only in production.

Given that you mention China in your story, did GB 18030 have anything to do with your problems?

The tone of your post is quite scary

hell yea, yes it's pretty healthly to have work-life balance

think about this:

you probably spent years at college/uni being sorrounded by nerds, then at work place 8h/day everyday,

then probably on the internet - hackernews, so what left? your SO being coder too? your friends working in IT too?

there's nothing wrong with wanting to avoid burnout.
I think it's not really viable to expect people to install a browser extension that interferes with their login sessions to sensitive websites, but if this technology was built into browsers it could be very interesting.

The UX might be a little awkward, but you could have a "Notarised documents" location under "Save Page As" which stores the current page with an accompanying file containing the notary details. Then you'd be able to upload these documents via a web interface to a smart contract.

There would have to be some way to cryptographically blind the connection between the distributed ID and these documents, though, as the documents would be plaintext and contain actual usernames.
Cool, did it have a physical keyboard? And if so, what was it like when using it like a laptop? That's my main aversion to a tablet, I would prefer a laptop so I could precisely angle a screen and the screen wouldn't be so heavy.

Also the price since I would almost exclusively use it for traveling.
what is it with lying on resumes? is that a thing? i went through some interviews a while ago. everyone assumed i lied on my resume without any basis to do so.
I thought “wrangler dev” ran locally with node and “wrangler preview” ran in the cloud?
You’re being examined at an interview, but you’re also examining the person you may choose to work for. If you don’t need to take the job you’re in a much more powerful position and you can have an honest discussion to come to a mutually beneficial arrangement.
_why's style is like Wes Anderson: great, but divisive; and intolerably awful when anyone with less than excellent taste & skill tries to imitate it.

H1B's in Big tech are about as far from indentured servants as you can imagine, they're in high demand and switch jobs for better pay constantly. American kids with access to generational wealth aren't as interested in difficult technical subjects.
France has ~1/3 the per capita greenhouse gas emissions of the US and is a rich country so it's certainly possible.

France uses nuclear for 70% of their electricity generation and petrol is ~$7 / gallon ( $1.9/litre ).

Politicians just need to be honest about the costs and people just have to want it.
It's still not good enough. Java also gives you typing but builders and chained setters are still used.
S10 5G is good. Larger screen than S10e, great cameras, and water resistant but still has a headphone socket.

Only thing it doesn't have is microSD but it does already have 256Gb or 512Gb storage.

Also I just found out it is supported in LineageOS.
Points taken, thank you for explanation.
"It depends": Beanstalk is a bit like training wheels with regards to auto scaling, load balancing, and high availability. If you/your team are new to those concepts as applied on AWS, then EB can make it a lot faster to get a solid environment up and running.

Downsides are that failing deploys can get wound around the axle pretty easily and you can be sitting around for 30 minutes waiting for everything to go green so you can try again.

Also check out AWS copilot on ECS as another, perhaps more current, form of training wheels.
I've had similar problems.. See my sibling comment, there's a chance it may be helpful!
I guess I'll need to blog about it because I can't find any information online, but still nothing has beat Sony's SonicStage, which is by most accounts very annoying proprietary software for working with minidisc players that want ATRAC encoding, but also included an excellent tag navigator that worked like so:

While playing any song in your library, you could display a graph view which showed the song center screen, and radially arranged spokes enumerating what the song was tagged with, "rock", "instrumental", "upbeat" etc, and when you clicked that tag, it would become center-screen and all the songs with that tag would be radially arranged around that tag. So you could navigate your library by kind of surfing the tag-graph and hit play/add to playlist as you go.

Last I checked there were .exe's compatible with Windows 10 available so I'll have to download it again and try it out.
Ask HN: Is it good to have a company policy that normalizes counter-offers?
I'm the founder of an early stage startup, located in a city where there are many job opportunities for software developers. As a developer myself, I know that it is very common for developers to switch companies every few years, in order to land significant pay increases. I know many people like to stigmatize this behavior, but I would never blame someone for wanting to grow their compensation. I'm also aware that if someone were to leave, we would incur significant costs in replacing them, ramping up their replacement, and re-learning the institutional knowledge that is lost.

For this reason, I would like to have a company policy that tells everyone explicitly that if they inform us of a job offer, we will never hold it against them, and we will never treat them negatively in future. And if the person is a valuable asset to the team, and genuinely interested in staying with us, we will match their job offer and do what we can to retain them.

I've had advisors tell me that saying this out loud is a bad idea, because it will encourage everyone to shop for offers. I can see their point, but I think it's worth the downside if it can help us better retain our most talented employees. I'm also aware that people leave for many different reasons, and it won't solve the attrition problem single-handedly (we're early enough that no one has left us so far). But I figured this policy would be a win even if it only addresses some of the reasons for attrition.

Has anyone had experiences with companies where counter-offers were well-known or normalized? If so, how would you describe the impact it had on company culture and retention?
That video ad is something else:

> "It's fast, easy and eco-friendly!"

It's a piece of plastic that will be shipped halfway around the world, to do what could just as well be done by a glass and a bit of cardboard.

It might be fast, easy and particularly convenient, but "eco-friendly" it most certainly ain't.
Even in clear traffic, buses are slow. I find the breakeven point with walking is about 2 miles, and with cycling about 7 miles. Going more than 7 miles on a bus sucks badly enough that I'll order my life not to do it. As such, the bus is never a first choice, but can be a lifesaver in some edge cases:

* Weather is bad enough to pay the (very large) time penalty vs. walking or cycling.

* You have moderate cargo hauling needs, no car, and delivery is impractical.

* The train is broken, your trip is too long for active transport, and you don't have a car.

* You are too elderly, infirm, or handicapped to walk or bike.

* You can't afford a bike.

* You can't afford to be anywhere else that's heated and enclosed.

There are enough of these edge cases, and you're sufficiently likely to meet one of them at some point, that I think we should all be in favor of bus coverage. Backups and resilience are important! But we should take it as a positive sign when ridership is minimal. If we want people out of cars and can't afford trains, the answer is active modes.
