I love Hammerspoon. It's one of the first must-have-for-a-usable-laptop tools I set up when I get a new MacBook.

Here are the top ways I'm using it right now:

1) Hide/show apps similar to how iTerm lets you bind a hotkey to hide/show a terminal. I've got ctrl+space set to Vimcal, alt+space set to midnight.app (a time tracker I'm building), and ctrl+alt+space set to Things.

2) Start/stop playing my work playlist of lofi hiphop. I got tired of the friction around opening Spotify, going into my work playlist, hitting play, waiting several moments for the playlist to load, etc, so I downloaded a bunch of mp3s from YouTube and put them in ~/Music/work/. Now my work music is a single keyboard shortcut (semicolon+m) and a few miliseconds away.

3) Set up screen recording. There are a few things that need to happen before I start a screen recording (opening CamHead.app, setting my screen resolution, and showing the dock at a certain height so I can later crop the video to 16:9) and I have it all bound to a single hotkey (semicolon+r). I've got another hotkey set up to unset it (semicolon+e).

4) You may have noticed I'm using keyboard shortcuts with semicolon as a modifier key. That's done with Hammerspoon too! I've got an extra layer of hotkeys available to me to set up whatever else I can think of in the future. The code I wrote to use semicolon like this sometimes breaks if I try to type too many actual semicolons in a row but I usually rely on JS Beautify to add those for me.
The logic of the system means there is nothing surprising to what you see happening. The reasons for doing what is being done are the same as for doing what was done.

Try Keyboard Maestro or BetterTouchTool. They remind me the most of AHK out of all the Apple options.

I also really like Hammerspoon. The desktop automation scene on macOS is strong.

> decentralizing away from celebrity culture may even be a societal good.

I agree, but I don't think that's likely to happen. More likely, I think, is that established celebrities start licensing out their likenesses and remain celebrities for far longer than their natural lifespans would otherwise permit. Instead of celebrities aging out and making room for new celebrities, they'll stay in the game longer, maybe indefinitely, and continue to grow their personal brand.

There's not a whole lot of good physics libraries to run on GPUs just yet, and lots of the physics you would want can absolutely eat up 16-64 cores of a CPU to get a somewhat decent frame rate with high realism.

Similar to ray-tracing, where you get great realism, but it is just an absolute resource hog. The number of vertices in soft-body physics animations come to mind. The real world has curves and deformations, and hair, with millions of strands, that each need tens or hundreds of physics-enabled vertices to look ultra realistic. Walking through a city, you might have 100 NPCs on the screen at once, who all have hair.

You simply need so much freaking compute power to pull this stuff off, I can't wait to see what it looks like in 10-20 years.

Traditionalism is inherently paradoxical. Traditionalists yearn for a remote home or past that lacked the problems they perceive in their own place and time. Yet, the people in that other place and time were probably just living the best way they could figure out to live, and would gladly have accepted many aspects of modern life for just a bit more comfort, health, or safety.
"The log files that list what Backblaze has backed up are called "bz_done" files. They list 'what has been done'. Here is where they are located on your computer:
...
WARNING: don't edit those files -> you are guaranteed to corrupt your backup. You'll lose everything."

Why does the integrity of the backup rely on files stored on the computer being backed up? This seems so stupid that I'm sure I'm missing a clue.
(completely off-topic, but commenters on this thread likely to know)

Anyone know a good recommendation system for classical, or even better, cross-genre recommendations? E.g. a project/product that is hosted and ready to use / subscribe to. Where I could put in "I like pieces composed by Ravel and Holst, and I also like things performed by Remy le Beouf", and it would actually give me sensible recs..

Spotify seems to rely on popularity too much, which doesn't really work here (I get a bunch of Best Piano for Chill Work compilation albums and not much else). Is Pandora's rec system any good here or does it fall into the same trap? Any other projects people have seen?
I accept your point—-to a degree (pun?). For me it’s more about cohort/context I guess.

My net experience on HN, is overall positive. But, most of the discussions are about software/tech things.

When not trying to put a ding in the universe for irrigation automation, I also enjoy a life as a father/husband/grandfather, budding pilot, active faith community participant, water ski enthusiast, snow skier, Lego enthusiast. I have noted that on the occasions when discussions on HN overlap some of these areas, that the “I’m educated so I
must intuit more than your life experience informs you” is off putting. I don’t think I would enjoy any but the most tangential discussions about family, romance, marital relationships, religion, engagement in the environment, or child rearing in the HN forums. There are places I can go and discuss some of these with humility and open mindedness and politeness, but it would be a while before I felt that way about these topics in these forums.

Which is not a diss on HN at all. I just think we all have areas in our life where we can find cohorts and feel secure and have polite open minded discussions (if we’re so inclined). And other areas where the context/cohort doesn’t align with the premise of the cohort well.
Remember that text-red-500 can be changed in one place across the application and allows you to apply general design ideas to quickly build layout. I don't personally use anything like tailwind, but the self-rolled css library I do use has a whole section of one liners like "flex" or "vertical-center" that saves me hours.
Haagen Dazs pints have been 14 oz instead of 16 since 2009.
The city feel is perfect though. It is just the interactions/movements of some of the characters.

Also the acceleration of people and cars feels still too artificial. It is not the looks, but the physics that are still full on the uncanny valley.

I think as graphics get more and more realistic looks wise, game designers need to slow down the game, and make it feel more real.

One of my favorite car chases is from the movie Ronin. It feels extremely real, like you are there, as they didn't use any outlandish effects, but kept it grounded on how a real car chase would feel.

That's not how cross-platform, cross-application software works. Linux is used for everything. Every other change for power efficiency will get balanced out by another change for raw performance.

No? There's no law of conservation of bug class or something, you can eliminate bug classes without introducing a new one.

No it doesn't.

I don't think this has held true historically, and log4j is a good example of this (though there are many others).

A weird point to bring up since heartbleed was an out of bounds memory read.

I think you're conflating people "whose jobs depend on compliance" with "having a passing bit of expertise on the subject"

If you happen to run a multi-billion dollar company that produces vaccines, then
I would assume you both have expertise in vaccines and are pro-their use.
In the same way the CEO of Ford would be a good person to ask about making cars (and I'll admit is unlikely to tell you to walk).

I think Gates, Fauci and MDs are a little bit different from this group - as they're outsiders who have a remit and have decided vaccines deliver on it.

I also think you're being a little disengenuous - but in the spirit of your post, I will respond in a similar fashion.
I'm not an expert in most things, but I accept the life I have and desire is based upon my putting my faith in others with expertise, and this is how we've built societies for the last few millenia.
I trust Ford to sell me a machine that will not kill me as I move about at my required 70 mph, in the same way I trust Pfizer to put a jab in my arm that'll lessen the chance of a virus killing me.

You could animate that as hugging the wall, leaning against it or something, instead of a 0mph walk.
I can read 200+ books a year if they are relatively thin (say sci-fi books like The Gates of Creation or a thin non-fiction book like Eva Illouz's Cold Intimacies)

I had a point maybe 10 years ago when it seemed the influx of information from reading at my maximum rate was making me anxious and disturbing my sleep and I deliberately got into playing video games like Advance Wars and Fire Emblem that recombine a small number of elements endlessly.

I've been losing my interest in video games and for me reading has been transitional to my next act. I find now I can read a lot if I avoid reading things that affect my emotional equilibrium. Today I have to really watch out for anything that makes me feel envious of other people.
Just curious do people use these types of automations to help with coding/software engineering? If so, in what way?
I appreciate the spirit in which this is offered but I'm pessimistic about the outcomes of any service that has people relaying strangers' traffic for them.

I moved off PuTTy to WSL plus the new terminal. It's just easier because you have all the things available like scp etc. That said PuTTy (or rather its derivate Kitty) served me well for years. But it's just so much easier to do key management in Linux via WSL.

1. Sign up for Dropbox

2. Sign up for the optional 'PackRat' service, or whatever they call it nowadays

3. xcopy c:\*.* d:\dropbox\backup /s /e /d

Somewhat tongue-in-cheek, but that's basically what I do, using the Windows equivalent of a cron job to refresh the backup once a day. Not on the whole c: drive, just on my development directory tree.

The ability to dig through older versions of all files has been incredibly valuable, given the large number of build targets and other assorted binaries that aren't under source control.

If you are a simple working professional (i.e. not chasing clout, leads, or candidates) using LinkedIn is simple:

* Do not look at the feed. Ever. You are unable to meaningfully curate it, or even create things a la Twitter Lists to separate the wheat from the chaff. It is garbage; ignore it.

* Do not connect with recruiters or direct sellers (read: real estate agents, financial planners, influencers in your field, etc), ever. They are worthless connections, and you can still receive and send messages without a connection, if it's actually something of interest to you.

* Keep your personal profile up to date and shiny for prospective employers and colleagues. This is just basic career hygiene in the 21st century.

* Do look at the notifications - it's still got useful information like people changing jobs, getting promoted, work anniversaries, etc. that provide direct opportunities to keep up the relationship. (Notifications have started getting spammier ... but anything at all valuable is there.)

* Endorse, recommend, and directly reach out to your actual colleagues you admrie and wish to endorse, and don't be shy about directly asking them to reciprocate.

That's it; you can maintain healthy relationships with your peers and ex-colleagues, establish a working brand for your skills and experience for others to find you, and avoid all the nonsense OP is rightfully scornful of.
>it does not mean that you will have less bugs or whatever to fix

But it does since you eliminate an entire class of bugs, and a class that's generally the source of most exploits out there (eg. heartbleed comes to mind as a similar level of exploit but was a result of memory errors).

JVM does the same with GC, and so do a lot of other languages, but when it comes to rewriting non-managed code Rust is a great choice over C in my book, I would feel better about introducing a Rust dependency over a C/C++ dependency just based on that.

As for ADA and Nim, if it's some black box docker service then sure, otherwise if I have to include it in my build pipeline that's a hard pass.
Another less capable option is the cool Vim autohotkey script.

No that doesn't seem fair but it's a fairly isolated example that won't affect millions of young girls who want to excel at sports when they grow up. If Somalis were dominating sports in every high school in America (sorry to be America-centric) then I'd say you could compare the two more effectively.
> Can you acknowledge you've been hit by a rare bug? The service isn't awful.

It seems to me that service that can't deal with the bug I'm actually having is awful, whether that bug is rare or common. As an individual user, I care about my experience, not the statistical aggregate of user experiences. (Generalised 'I' here—this is not my bug.)
"Hundreds of millions of files" sounds more like a database to me...

Yes... Agreed on both points.

You can get a bit of that via referrers, but not as much as you would like.
Which healthcare companies? The US has a hybrid private and public healthcare system. The bulk of residency program funding comes from the Federal government and is tied to Medicare. A few mostly non-profit provider organizations do fund a limited number of residencies on their own. In general though there's no financial incentive for teaching hospitals to fund their own residencies because after completing residency those doctors can then leave to work somewhere else.
So, let me tell you about how I was getting safety frozen, and why.

I had a Mac which crashed and that had a whole bunch of files go missing. Backblaze didn't want to do backups with a huge subset of my disk files gone without having gotten notification messages from the file changes API that this stuff should be missing/was deleted. So they safety froze my machine.

It's cool that Backblaze notices this. But yes, the question of what to do next isn't clear. Does one just start a new backup? Does one scour the backup looking for anything that may be missing on your machine, now? Etc.
> Part of the problem here is that real humans don't bash into walls. So how do you realistically represent that, when in fact it's just Johnny pressing forward on his controller?

That doesn't seem like much of a theoretical obstacle to me. The primitive controls only signal intent - you don't have to animate the human shuffling against the wall, you can just not move. The controller should be like whispering into the avatar's ear, not QWOP.

Or if you do want to grant the player lower-level physical control, you can have the human actually collide realistically with the wall. After all, people do bash into walls, just not commonly. You can even make them bump their head, and take damage.
For reference, Balaji is the guy who promised a massive project to put bitcoin miners in all of your household appliances so they could get bitcoins to make microtransactions with. This was somehow pitched as both desirable and possible, two things which is most certainly wasn't.

Having raised large amounts of money for this, he then proceeded to deliver absolutely nothing except an outdated mining chip duct-taped to a Raspberry Pi, and then pivoted to... paying people to answer surveys?

Everyone in the cryptocurrency sphere thinks he is a genius and visionary.

Leaving mammal traps unattended is cruel whether in the woods or in the home. If I check my traps every 8 hours or so, I'll be sure to find and kill any mice long before they start gnawing off limbs. Although, personally I just use the spring traps for mice, and leave the glue traps for crickets. Possibly this is cruel to the crickets...
Regarding Truman:

In September 23, 1946, Robeson and a delegation representing the ACAL met with President Harry Truman to push for an anti-lynching agenda. Robeson demanded that Truman issue a public statement expressing his views on lynching and recommending a set of legislative and educational measures aimed at eradicating mob violence. Truman turned down these requests, claiming that timing and political circumstances made these measures difficult to implement at the moment. Robeson was disappointed by this and found it troubling that the US government was at the time willing to actively engage in the Nuremberg Trials while it turned its head from racial injustices at home.[5] Delegations also met with US Attorney General Tom Clark as well as the Democratic and Republican national committees. The delegation's program included the creation of a federal anti-lynching bill, arrest and punishment for all lynchers, and preventing Ku Klux Klan members from joining Congress.[6]

Many prominent intellectuals were members, including Albert Einstein.[7] Other notable supporters of the organization were Max Yergan, Joseph Curran, Canada Lee, Jack Kroll, Lena Horne, and Oscar Hammerstein II.[8] The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) had been long concerned about socialist and communist movements for their instigation of social and labor unrest. Having noted communist support for African-American civil rights before World War II, the FBI characterized the "Crusade" as a "communist front." Robeson and the ACAP were thus both put under investigation by the FBI.[9] The FBI classified members such as Einstein as communist sympathizers; and developed intelligence files on them.

Such a perfect page for nerd sniping. Too bad that I couldn't find a signal that I heard in the 90s on an FM radio and have never been able to identify. From what I can remember, I didn't hear it on other FM radios, which makes it even more mysterious. In frequency ranges where there was no radio station transmission, I didn't just hear the typical static noise but also some strangely melodic tones changing frequency multiple times a second. The tones weren't very pure like most examples on the page, but with lots of strange harmonics / distortion.
