As far as I know, I coined it for myself. It's possible I read it somewhere that I've forgotten and am not properly attributing it.

It's something that I've had to learn the hard way, but has recently really been instilled in me. For a long time I'd jump to trying to learn a technology designed to work in a domain (e.g., learn erlang to try and write a distributed system), and I'd wind up just spinning my wheels, because I'd be trying to figure out too much all at once.

Somewhat recently however, I wanted to get into ray tracing, and decided to use Go for my first attempt (a language I'm very familiar with, but not necessarily the best for the domain...though, it did make some parts of it easier!)

If I'd jumped right into trying to use cuda, I'd never have gotten anywhere with it, because I'd just be lost in trying to figure out all of cuda's idiosyncrasies.

Instead I was able to get pretty far with go, making a bvh tree, triangle meshes, textures, area lights, convolutional filtering. Once I'd gotten pretty far with it, I wanted to get some experience with k8s, and so I modified it to be able to run an arbitrary number of worker pods and send samples to an aggregation pod.

Now that I've gotten some good experience in the domain, I've started to rewrite it in c++/cuda, where I can now make some more educated decisions, because I spent the time learning the domain first -- I know roughly what I'm building.

Long winded way of saying I arrived at the saying because it's the only thing that's been effective for me.

> - Use LINQ cautiously as its variants are mostly slower than explicit coding. E.g. .Any() vs .Count == 0

When using LINQ also be aware that .First(predicate) is significantly slower than .Where(predicate).First() when called on List<T> and T[]. This is true for essentially all methods like Last, Single, Count etc. Don't trust Visual Studio when it's telling you to "optimize" this.

But if you want the last bit of performance, you shouldn't use LINQ anyways.

This is exactly what happens. On the very long tail there may be no one willing to bid against you so there is no reason to buy the top slot, but if someone is, then suddenly it makes sense.
Relatively to how much the corporations they work for make, it is. I guess for many people being exploited, as long as you have a roof over your head and can afford food is totally okay.
That can definitely be a problem. But clearly you haven't worked with a codebase that decided that the best way to implement two (let's be honest: two if you're lucky, it could easily be 10) similar components is to duplicate the entire few thousands LoC. And then, when similar changes need to be implemented in both: to implement them in subtly different ways.
That’s a shame. From a climate perspective you can’t beat building with wood.

Calling none sense. IT'S NOT IN YOUR HEAD!

There are objective levels to it.

Say I work in film making and specialize on actors wardrobes , I can make a good living, perhaps even reach a 7 figures net worth.

Fast forward award seasons comes around, during the afterparties everybody wants to talk and interact with the stars. Even if in my head my self-confidence is sky high and I am super social, approaching everybody, these people would avoid me and judge me as a weirdo, both during the party (to my face) and afterwards.

In that moment I am an obstacle to their real social goal of the night: interacting with Jennifer Lawrance, taking a picture with her, or even getting any reaction from her (including negative ones and extremely negative ones such as flipping the bird or telling people off).

This is an extreme example , of course, but generally people go to social gatherings and have a pretty clear idea of the person or even the profile of people they want to interact with.

This means that people do , in fact, judge or pre-classify or create standings in their minds, and if you aren't one of those sought after people then an interaction with you will most likely received as a disappointment compared to an ideal scenario that they had built in their own minds.

This means that you'd be judged.
I don't see too many quirks in the listing, so most any classical BASIC variant should handle it. Like PC-BASIC[1], FreeBASIC[2], or the venerable GW-BASIC[3]. (The later I think you need to run in DOSBox though.)

I did notice one unique keyword that should be easy to fix.

6200 PRINT "TYPE "; S$(56)
6210 B3 = CLK(0)
6220 INPUT C$
6230 B1 = CLK(0)
6240 B1=((B1-B3)*3600)=(D9-1)

I couldn't find 'CLK' in any of the BASICs I know of. Seems from context to be a time function. My guess is it returns number of seconds since system boot, or program start.

Anything more about Kafka you can tell us?

Seriously, the one time I was in a situation where much of the team seemed hellbent on this "just put all in Kafka" idea (without really understanding why, exactly) the arguments they came up with were not too dissimilar from what you've shared with us above. It all seemed to come down to "OMG databases are hard, schemas are hard, our customers don't understand the data they're shoving at us. But Kafka will take care of all of that for us. Because, you know, shiny."

That said I'd still like to have a more ... balanced understanding of why Kafka may not necessarily be The Answer, and/or have more hidden complexity or other negative tradeoffs than we may have bargained for.

Or: always focus on the intent. People do things for different reasons, but you should only judge them based on the intent.

For example, all lives matter, sounds good, but what is the intent behind that? Is it really to signal that all lives matter?
Absolutely not my experience. My experience is there is an initial large learning curve (2-3 weeks) and then you can be vastly more productive than any dynamic language, with better safety, a better library ecosystem, and better tooling.
Declining birth rate is a symptom, not a disease. Immigration may be a workaround but not a fix.

The key reason why young Americans don’t want to have children is because the cost of living including raising a child has been exploding for last 20yrs. Housing, healthcare, insurance, student loans and cost of education- all have gone up exponentially when the actual wages have not gone up.

Immigration is a workaround but it has inevitable side effects. Including dilution of labor, assimilation and not to say many
Of the core issues mentioned above affect immigrants alike.

Hehe. You're right, I forgot one of the golden rules. There's probably a better reason why no one has implemented it.

There is this phenomenon called “the mere exposure effect“:

Merely exposing yourself to a situation again and again will lessen your anxiety and put the kinds of automations in place, in terms of perception and behavior, that will make you feel “comfortable“ (i.e. allow you to handle the baseline situation on autopilot, so your energy is free for higher level functions, such as strategy or simply enjoyment).

This means that, being an introvert, you can make yourself tremendously more comfortable in extraverted [1] situations simply by going to a bar or a coffee shop twice a week and spending time there. Simply being there slowly gets you used to the environment. (It’s very similar to desensitizing a dog to fireworks, for example. Sorry! :))

Also, I suspect this is what actually creates these differences in personality types in the first place. Some people get really comfortable being by themselves, and others get really comfortable being around others. It starts in early childhood, and becomes a self reinforcing cycle. In many ways, it makes sense to do more of that which you’re already good at. Changing your environment is often more profitable than trying to change yourself.
Great, can they get a discount for the time they’re giving out if the taxes that supposedly go to things like this? Nah
The author forgot making rounded corners using images! I kind of miss the creativity of old web development, especially before responsive web design.

And Maxima was created before Common Lisp even existed. Steele first presented Common Lisp at a conference in 1982, and CLTL1 wasn't published until 1984.

As I recall, Maxima was first written for Franz Lisp. Older lisps like that used dynamic binding for all variables.

That's the reality of multiapartment buildings.

Ask HN: How do you classify bugs in your company?

Well if you walk to your car and someone is stealing the CC they often have an armed accomplice. Should you not have the right to get in your car because someone else is implying violence? And if you want to get in your car, and they’re going to potentially kill you for it, don’t you also have the right to defend yourself? Would someone (say, a lone woman in a dark parking lot) be unreasonable for assuming violence was imminent if she walked to her car and found people stealing the CC from her car? I’d have a hard time blaming her if she shot them both on sight, even if they were unarmed.
A memory seared into my brain from the 90s:

I was in the highschool computer lab, working on a website for the school IT administrator. She wanted me to include a patterned background, blinking marquees, GIFs, the whole nine yards. Another student was working on the project with me, sitting next to me. We were both facing the window, away from the door. The admin left the room. I told my fellow student these choices were extremely tacky, and I questioned the life choices that led her to the point of thinking this looked good.

Turns out she came back into the room and was behind me the whole time. Boy, did I feel like a jerk. I apologized.

What a different time that was.
What’s the accessibility story for these kind of mobile UIs?
It's better to be decent in a lot of areas than to be great in one area and terrible in another. If A, B, C, D is how much value you provide in different areas, you should try to maximize ln(A)+ln(B)+ln(C)+ln(D) rather than A+B+C+D. Also see "Law of diminishing returns", "All happy families are alike; each unhappy family is unhappy in its own way."

In creative fields nobody knows what they're doing and most time and money is wasted. It's often as important to think about what thing to do as doing the thing. You will most likely provide great value to your company/work a few days of the year (the days where you implement some feature your customer really needs or where you fix some potential or ongoing big production problem) and most days you will provide break-even or negative value. Also see "Impostor syndrome".

Always automate manual or boring processes. Do not think too much about ROI calculations, they don't work because productivity in creative fields is very non-linear. Instant feedback is very important for concentration and morale.

If you're prone to anxiety, saving money and building skills allows you to act without fear of major setbacks. And most of the time it's better to ask for forgiveness than permission.
It's a combination of both. NIMBYs love anything that makes construction more expensive because it limits construction, and also ensures that only the wealthiest can have housing, further driving up the price of their primary asset: land.
In more civilized societies the threat of hand amputation is an effective theft deterrent.
> EDIT: Also tired to hear about the problems of universal health care, specially with wait times. It is true that less important treatments could take some extra time but I have never seen a case where a fast intervention was needed and did not happen. I would say that common sense is something that works for universal healthcare. At least where I come from.

Almost all countries with universal care also have private options (Norway used to be an exception where offering private options for services available from the public healthcare system used to be practically impossible, but even Norway has relented on this though). Often the private options are also cheaper than the US.

E.g. for elective surgeries Americans might want to check London hospitals - many world-leading private hospitals for various conditions that are used to targeting foreign patients - especially wealthy ones - but still often charging much lower prices.

It's also not that unusual for those of us in the UK who can afford to go private to do so when we have some condition that the NHS certainly will treat but where there's a waiting list because it's not important.

And there are plenty of private insurers - only because the NHS offers a baseline, they're far cheaper than most US plans because almost all of them rely on the NHS as a first line and instead of picking up the bill for everything they only pick up the bill to accelerate care whenever there's a wait to see certain NHS specialists.

People need to consider the universal care to be the baseline. How much people are prepared to pay for the baseline over taxes will affect how fancy the baseline is, so if you want something better you'll need to pay. But at least it ensures everyone gets the baseline.
I've seen := become standard in math to mean definition, not mutating assignment.
Yeah those people who do that are bad and shouldn’t do that. Just like the thieves are bad and shouldn’t do that.

It’s not one extreme or the other. I have no idea why it’s “inevitable”. I own a gun and I haven’t mentally devolved into the Punisher yet.

Imagine you live in a rural area where things are far apart. Someone breaks your car, and now you can’t get to work. And if you don’t show up for work, now you’re fired. And now you don’t have income, so now you might lose your house or miss meals. Asking that person to have sympathy for the thief is asking for a lot.
> There are rumours going around that the GeForce 4090 is going to have a max TDP of 650W.

This is kind of a move of desperation. GPUs are massively parallel so it's straightforward to make performance scale linearly with power consumption. They could always have done this.

Nvidia is used to not having strong competition. Now AMD and Intel are both gunning for them and the market share is theirs to lose. Things like this are an attempt to stay on top. But the competition could just do the same thing, so what good is it?
> These people are often vulnerable. Recent data from South Carolina show 79% of people hospitalized with breakthrough infections there had at least one existing health condition, such as diabetes. In the intensive-care unit, where hospitals treat the most severely ill patients, the percentage increased to 88%.

According to a CDC study, 94.9% of hospitalized COVID-19 patients (March 2020 - March 2021) had at least 1 underlying medical condition [1]. I'd argue that COVID-19 hospitalizations (vaccinated/unvaccinated) are always concentrated among the most vulnerable.

I heard this recently from one of Justin Kan's YouTube videos and it's really shaped the way I think about my career.

"Work in your zone of genius [not your zone of competence]."

Simply put, it means to work on problems that:

1. you have a natural inclination towards

2. (and perhaps more importantly) give you energy

For example, I am good at full stack web development because that is the first job I got out of college. If I want to "optimize my career", it would be best to continue down this path and apply for roles that fit my experience. But, unfortunately for me, building web apps is not something that "gives me energy".

One thing that does give me energy is thinking about/playing video games. I've always spent my evenings watching GDC talks or game dev documentaries. After watching Justin's video, I decided to take a shot at making games[0] and it's been a very different experience from making web apps. Even after a full day of coding, I continued to think about how to make the game better!

The key insight is that you get better faster when you work on stuff you have a natural inclination towards, and that gives you energy to work harder on those problems.

The hard part is making the leap to work on these problems, even if the trade-off is super high. For example, should I continue down the FAANG path and have a good life with all those perks as a full stack developer, or do I follow my "zone of genius" and enter the gaming industry which is known for some extreme practices.

Who knows, with the way gaming is shaping up (Roblox, MineCraft, Unity, Fortnite, Meta, etc.) perhaps switching to this gaming industry is actually the more optimal solution :P

I had fun the whole time!

Mentally I don't really suffer anything, though I did cry like a baby while riding through misty valleys at dawn the third day. I had realized I'd crossed into Normandy, and got emotional from working out from first principles why I new that detail of french geography. In the first town I passed through in daylight the locals were hanging up large banners for their 75th Anniversary of Liberation by the US Army.

I had a few serious physical setbacks from my ankle, losing a cleat bolt, a wrong turn — but it was easy to run into old friends out on the course to regroup and make new friends along the way helping each other out of predicaments.

More interesting than this is what's caused the performance expectation of gamers to rise faster than Moore's Law.

It took us almost 10 years to move the standard from 1024x768 to 1920x1080 (~2.5x increase in pixels/sec), yet in the past 5 years we've gone from 1920x1080@60Hz to 4k@120Hz (~8x increase).

I'm not sure if it's because graphics aren't naturally improving the same way they were in the 00s and early 2010s, or streaming culture showing things off with the highest resolutions and framerates possible, but it's absolutely a modern phenomenon and I'm not sure how long it can last.

How can you verify that your extension actually runs the code that's in the open source repository?
Extensions' integrity can be signed and verified against something that was also authored by the creator, but what verifies that the code in the linked repository is the same one, not a different one?
This. It's not like "i have nothing to eat, I'm gonna steal some catalytic converters".
Do you mean land or real estate? Because if it's harder and more costly to build on land, that should decrease demand for it, and prices should fall. Demand for already-improved land should rise, though.
