It's reached the "Plateau of Productivity"

Ideas from functional programming languages are now becoming mainstream.

I like it how pattern matching turned up in both Java and Python at the same time. If people quit hating on Java for a moment they'd see it was getting "ML the good parts."

Once people get past "A monad is like a burrito" and "this is the 20th blog post I've written about monads and I almost understand it now" that idea might get some traction too.
If only the government had helped Boeing and Ford, they could be as successful as SpaceX and Tesla.
A big part of Casey's calculations are the cost of batteries. Batteries are expensive, but not as expensive as HVDC lines.
In Germany a person with median income will have access to free healthcare and education, good public transportation system and maybe even to an apartment with controlled rent. After you subtract all those expenses you may find that people in Germany may have more money in the pocket than in the USA. Anecdotal evidence does not prove anything, but few Americans who moved to Berlin were actually telling me that despite lower income and higher taxes they have more money here.
I see what you mean now. What I meant is that I like Neapolitan pizza, Domino's Pizza, Pizza Hut, New York pizza... pizza is just really great and it's best when I'm hungry.
I'm about a month behind you, but the difference is that I'm in Canada. I'll be taking 8 weeks, and most people are asking "is that all?".

My wife and I get to split 69 weeks, of which neither of us can take more than 61. She's going to take the max, plus her 15 weeks she gets post-birth (76 weeks total) and I'll take 8 right at the start. We get a small amount of government-paid employment insurance, and jobs will exist when we return.

What's important is that here, it's enforced by law, not by company generosity. To punish me (or my wife) for taking this time off is literally illegal. I soon need to have a conversation with my manager (based in the US) to make sure he's aware of the this all. He's a nice guy, but he may be surprised.
a fully rational actor would do exactly that, unless he also puts utility value on hard to define 'relationships', but why would he if money in hand has clearly defined utility...?

just another hole in classical economics and theory of rational choice.
Exactly. Dithering is not a compression scheme; it's an encoding scheme. It's particularly useful in systems where you have limited sample dynamic range but you can sample much more frequently than the Nyquist criterion. It trades sample range for sample frequency while conveying the same information.

Audio CD players use Sigma-Delta modulation (also called "1-bit D/A converters") which is essentially just dithering in one dimension. But CDs don't contain fewer bits because of this.
The loss on microwave relay is just incredibly high (think >90% power loss), because it goes as distance^2.

Also there's physical limits on how tight the resulting beam of energy can be -- it's not a laser beam, it'd be irradiating 100s m^2 if not km^2 with whatever it's peak W/m^2 is. Also it can't be anywhere near a useful radio band, because interference.
You don't get them because I've done them all!
> But yes that has to be weighted against possible detrimental issues but how is that different to any other trial study for a vaccine?

It's not different. That's why it's being taken seriously when the trial shows more negative results than positive. Instead of picking and choosing to only listen to the trials that suggest to roll out the vaccine to everyone.
I'm just pointing out a common engineering principle: Trying to optimize two solutions together is often more difficult than trying to optimize them separately.

I hope I'm not coming across as overly negative here. If these things work together, that's very cool! But I would still be curious to see an overall comparison between doing them together vs doing them separately.

When I was at apple, we did this thing people called "keybote-driven development" where everything was made to look great in and keynote presentation to an exec. If it looked great you got the go ahead to finish it and ship it, and if not it got skipped. There are a lot of things to like about this approach. However, Time machine's UI to me feels like a quintessential blind spot of this incentive structure, where it looks visually striking and cool but actually using it for real use cases it often falls flat quickly. To update it you would need to fit the motivation and payoff in a keynote presentation and it's hard to do so.
The illegal immigrant population alone in the US is estimated to be between 10 and 28 million. The entire population of Norway is about 5.5 million. Perhaps the two countries have very different political realities.

Album: Songs Of Electronic Despair (1984)

THE AWESOME FUTURISTIC KITSCH OF THE ANDROID SISTERS:

https://dangerousminds.net/comments/songs_of_electronic_desp...

>Since 1982, the ZBS Foundation (ZBS= “Zero Bullshit”) has been producing a sci-fi/detective hybrid radio drama called Ruby, the ongoing adventures of Ruby the Galactic Gumshoe. The show is a fun listen, and since its history is documented elsewhere, we shan’t dwell on it here, as the series itself doesn’t concern us so much as does a pair of its supporting characters: The Android Sisters.

>Exactly like it says on the box, the Android Sisters are robotic “siblings”—conceit and name both lifted from Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep?—whose role in the show is to deliver pointedly satiric songs, rendered in a unison speak-sing intonation by actresses Ruth Maleczech (sometimes credited as “Breuer”—married name?) and Valaria Wasilewski. Though it’s a pretty one-dimensional schtick, their acutely ‘80s synth songs were sufficiently listenable to merit an album in 1984. Released on the typically more rootsy Vanguard label (it was the home of Joan Baez and Buddy Guy, among others), Songs of Electronic Despair contained eleven goofy examples of what people in the ‘80s thought the future sounded like, and many of the songs directly address the themes of mechanization and alienation with which a lot of the synth musicians of the era seemed obsessed. Really, much of this stuff is in the same zone as the work Laurie Anderson was up to back then—and Anderson was once an artist in residence at the ZBS Foundation.

>A second album, Pull No Punches, was issued in 2003, but the most accessible music available from the Android Sisters is their 2004 best-of, which is still in print on CD.

Exceeding the common lisps in number of users is easy. Exceeding them in language capabilities is not.
Your comments on Apple Home are factually incorrect.
I have lights, cameras, smart blinds, thermostats, temperature/humidity/air quality sensors, my eero6 router and even my Roku added into Home.

Apple Wallet also supports some forms of ID, transit cards and even vaccine certificates.
I'm also using Linux since the last millennium. I can't confirm such issues.

Using Fedora means using experimental stuff. Pipewire for example is not ready for prime time, so it has obviously issues. Simple as that.

But I don't say of course Linux is without bugs. Never seen any more complex software without bugs… The point is how grave those bugs are and how they could possibly pass QA. Especially Apple has a comparably simple job here as they only support officially a hand full of products which are even build by themself.

And it's not only me who sees one catastrophe following the other at Apple. Just have a look at the discussion thread on the other current front page topic:

https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29229881

To repeat my question: How do people bear that? That's what I just can't understand.

Again, I'm not interested in an OS flamewar. That Apple's products are subpar is a fact at this point, and we don't need to discuss that again. (Just follow the other HN thread). The question is why people are still using this stuff and not voting with their wallet (especially as it would make their wallet more happy).
Thanks dang, I'll go for it.
The University of Helsinki is top-100 in the US News rankings.
Yes!

Upstart in Ubuntu, sysv-init on debian (from sarge up to the one after lenny iirc), openrc in gentoo (briefly), the rc system in netbsd.

Systemd is just right. Not perfect of course. But jn comparison to systemd other init systems feel just dumb.
A single RDS instance and a handful of web servers can handle hundreds of millions to low billions of requests a month with last byte responses under 200-300ms.
I'm in the middle of The Fastest Man in the World about Taylor right now. It's a gripping read, and it does a lot to tie in the politics of the era, what the bicycle boom meant for New York before the advent of the personal car, and the wider ripple effects of the bicycle boom such as on the Free State of the Congo.

My fun fact about Taylor is this: In November 1898 he set a world record 1/4 mile time at 22.2s averaging 40.5 mph. The earliest land speed record by a car that I could find (on wikipedia so I'm not that thorough) was set by an electric car(!) on Dec 18 1898 at 39.245 mph. So he threw down a gauntlet and a month later cars failed to pick it up. A hero in the war on cars.
I've seen a lot of videos that actually show the opposite. Even I as a non-expert over video can clearly see the difference from thousands of miles away.

The problem might just be that the TV shows you watch are so mediocre they can't even get a real expert.
Salt is important because its required to live. You'll die far quicker with no salt in your diet than too much.
I am reminded of when the NHL tried to use a wirelessly trackable puck. It worked until the tech involved wasn't up to the rigors of being slapped around by professional hockey players.

In the same vein, I have some doubts about the ability of a watch to stand up to the forces at play on the field.
> How can I when its identity is that of a basic, unhealthy, cheap, low-class food

That's an assertion, not a self-evident fact. And one that I (and I am certain, many other people) would dispute.
And the worst part is that their software division used to be great. Aperture was really good when it came out, Final Cut Pro, Logic Pro were great. Eveh talking about iwork suite, numbers and page used to be better than they are now. Even Quicktime regressed.

It's frankly both puzzling and saddening how much Apple has lost in term of QA, user interface and vision in the last 10 years. I always feel that Tim Cook doesn't have a clue about what made Apple special and is slowly destroying it by not making sure to keep those qualities

EDIT: I do recognize Tim Cook's qualities, he is amazing at managing supply chain and apple does this better than anybody with very little impact in terms of chip shortage. He's original decision to target privacy as a marketing argument was on point (unfortunately the csam controversy kind of destroyed this) and under his tenure Apple has done tremendously well financially.

But the issue, is that Apple also benefits from its reputation and in the last few years, they've destroyed it by producing shoddy software, by having major hardware issues over multiple revisions (keyboards, staining screens)...
> Its antithesis of progressive vision of society.

Could you expand a bit on this? My impression was that it just became a cultural norm in places that could afford this, driven by the basic need to cultivate own "spaces".
Sony MDR7502. I swear by these like other commenters have been swearing by the HD25s. The packaging comes with a pamphlet with all of the pieces exploded and their replacement part numbers. The only time I've had to get new cans is when some unfortunate soul unable to afford their own pair took mine while I was packing up from a gig.
You run `ssh-keygen -t ed25519-sk -O resident`, and that's it, no additional software required as of OpenSSH 8.2. If you have an older model Yubikey you can try ecdsa-sk instead.

That's basically what large parts of that area already are.
i like the idea of using a keyboard layout thats more efficient for typing common characters, less finger travel. But the thought of having to relearn muscle memory and not being able to just grab any old keyboard are both huge turnoffs for me.

i assume for #2 i could programmatically remap keys with no effect in input latency? which then would require merely changing a few keycaps around... can anyone confirm if this would be the case?
Maybe you could explain why a non commercial license would not be open, for anyone not looking to turn a profit off of the author’s work?

They're a sign of dated tech. Nothing modern necessarily needs them. I know how to use them and I can respect the design, but pay gating them for so long has made them irrelevant.
I'm getting one of the new macs because the hardware seems great. I got one around the turn of the century for the same reason (and mostly ran linux on it.)

To the best of my recollection American Football does not wrap the playing field in animated ads like European Football/Soccer does. I assume that's partly because everybody just hates the idea for every possible reason...

Noise can be a problem in really large stadiums and college/pro fans will sometimes successfully disrupt the opposing offense by making it too loud for them to hear each other in the huddle.
This is where I'd differentiate between taste and beauty. Taste is a property of people. Beauty is a property of things. Taste is the ability to recognize and respond to the beauty of things in proportion to how beautiful they actually are. Thus, taste is ultimately a matter of intellectual refinement. The intellect, property developed, recognizes beauty effectively. Someone with bad taste can be said to either lack discernment (when they cannot tell the difference between the Pietà and some second rate work) or possess disordered tastes (when they show the same estimation or even greater estimation of the inferior to the superior).

Taste is very much related to desirability because what is beautiful is better than which is less so, and what is therefore good is more desirable than which is less so. Just as people can have bad taste, they can have bad desires. Take food, for example. Those who desire mediocre food to the same degree as good food have poor taste and therefore poor desires. Those with a desire to eat glass or their couch cushions (something people with pika might experience) have disordered tastes and therefore disordered desires.

As to the art itself, since art involves mimesis, good art can be measured in part by how well it imitates. (Imitation should not be understood here simplistically as implying photorealism.) An artist who either lacks discernment or lacks technique will produce mediocre imitations. There are feature of art itself which are not exhausted by imitation. These, too, determine whether the artwork itself is good. Composition and proportionality of the artwork itself (and not just the subject) are examples. While the subject may be beautiful, the execution of the artwork may be poor.

Now as PG says, art has an effect on us (indeed, it communicates to us), but because art is artifact and thus lacks an inherent end, its perfection cannot be completely explained without making reference to something with an inherent end which artifacts lack. Human nature is that thing. Human beings individually may possess variable perfections and variable degrees of perfection, including capacity for aesthetic judgement, either because they have either intrinsic individual limitations or because they have not actualized their capacities fully, but one and the same human nature. So we must look to human nature if we want to explain art. Indeed, throughout history, art tracks the understanding of human nature in a given culture. Cultures that understand the dignity of the human person value portraiture in a way those that don't do not.

Aesthetic judgement is value judgement from a different perspective, and therefore a truth claim (the fact-value dichotomy is bogus).
Nor does it talk about what the COST would be.

This is just your casual periodic reminder that if choosing between two possibilities, you could expect someone to be right about half the time by just guessing.
So you clearly have a hardware problem since your USB-C ports aren't charging.

And rather than go to Apple you instead randomly press buttons and then are surprised when random things happen.

Okay.
Yes, I got the same thing from it. It seems like pg is confused by the existing definition of "good taste". At least one definition of good taste is being able to spot what will be popular. It doesn't mean the things you like are "good" in some vague sense. Anecdotally some people have insight into humans which allows them to figure if something will be popular.

The entire essay should be a short proposal to a dictionary publisher :

"Please make it clear that the definition of taste is "being able to spot what lots of other people will like"".

People could debate that and you don't need the silly "proofs".
A lot of this stuff was fiddly a long time back, before dotnet core, but it's all pretty sweet these days.

For example, `AddMemoryCache() ` gives you a memory cache with the default settings - or you can change them by using the options argument. Request rewriting is really simple too, and even authentication is relatively straightforward.

I get what you mean about "crazy abstraction mazes", but thankfully over the past few years we've been trending away from the madness of ludicrous inheritance hierarchies that were sold as "clean code" and dogmatically hoovered up by junior devs (including me, once upon a time!).
There are lots of hardware configs that don't fully work, or are very unstable, under Linux.
the things you complain about, in your comment, work here fine.
This was one of the theories - given the HN traffic was likely more technical users meaning a chatbot was more hindrance than help.
Email Superpowers
One can treat an employment contract like a business relationship while also giving some preference to a company they like working for, and vice versa (always bearing in mind that all but very small personally run companies are likely brainless , soulless corporate entities regardless of any PR platitudes to the contrary). Agreed on that. However, in the OP above, the guy describes a situation in which despite being a well established employee, he had to basically claw for even a meager 8 weeks of paid leave for something as important as a newborn baby. Based on that description alone, I'd tentatively say that the employer hardly deserves much loyalty at all. As I already mentioned.
I don't think that's at all in conflict with the point of the article. Like you said, virtually everyone you meet has knowledge outside of your shared diagram, so it's not unreasonable to think some of that knowledge could be relatively commonplace.

If you extend that same humility to others (rather than unfairly assuming that you're just especially naive) then you're really coming to the same conclusion as the headline here in a more diplomatic way.
There's no need for interpretation, Smith makes it quite clear with nearly an entire chapter dedicated to it:

> The value of any commodity, therefore, to the person who possesses it, and who means not to use or consume it himself, but to exchange it for other commodities, is equal to the quantity of labour which it enables him to purchase or command. Labour therefore, is the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities.

> It was not by gold or by silver, but by labour, that all the wealth of the world was originally purchased; and its value, to those who possess it, and who want to exchange it for some new productions, is precisely equal to the quantity of labour which it can enable them to purchase or command.

> But though labour be the real measure of the exchangeable value of all commodities, it is not that by which their value is commonly estimated.
