Hey yall! Just wanted to tell you about a project i made in the last few days (written in Go). its called barley. It is just a fun little "used languages statistics" bar. (kinda like the github repo language stats)
If you liked the idea you can:

visit the github repo (and maybe star it): https://github.com/baris-inandi/barley

...or download the binaries: https://github.com/baris-inandi/barley/releases/latest

Barley is currently only available on the AUR (with package name ‘barley’). Install it with ‘yay -S barley’
> By themselves, ads aren't the real problem --- personalized ads are the problem.

I don't even care about that, what gets my goat is that ads pileup significantly slow down pages and increase energy consumption; and sites still get plastered to unreadability.
Yeah, I know. This was based off instance store logging on these instances. For better or worse, they're very simple ports of pre-AWS on-prem servers, they don't speak AWS once they're up and running.
You can absolutely make a personal choice. The moment that you start tricking yourself into thinking that narrative manipulation, harassment, trolling, stalking, etc to get others to make that same personal choice are part of some high moral stance is what people get angry at cancel culture about. There is quite a distinction.

Google's Year in Search – How to Start a Business
I just started "The Dawn of Everything: A New History of Humanity" [1] by Graeber and David Wengrow. I'm only through a few dozen pages, but it's definitely a compelling read in terms of how it's written. Graeber's last book, sadly.

I grew up in the northern Midwest, where tornados happen semi-regularly. If you’re facing a tornado and in a vehicle, you’re supposed to abandon the vehicle and get to a ditch or some other low point that provides solid sideways protection and lay down as flat as you can.

Tornados are weirdly destructive. Some things that get directly hit survive when they shouldn’t. Vehicles are not built to take the damage even a small tornado brings.

I am from Chennai, India where < 18 deg C is once a few days in a year event. I spent 3 months in MSP working with one of the large retailers. Their offices were in a set of buildings and as a contractor had to park the car in the parking lot and take the shuttle into the office. It was miserably cold and you come back to frozen keylocks or worse batteries. But the entire town just worked during the cold weather. Amazing!

Because Firefox on PC has significantly worse performance.

That's nice ancedote. I also have an ancedote, Firefox is buggy/slow on 2 of my computers. 1 of my computers is fine. I already reinstalled and reformated. At some point I can't be blamed.
I would say yes. But also, that who industry is toxic cesspool of sociopaths. Moral responsibility is not a factor anyone in there considers.

I'm not exactly sure what you mean by this. There is no doubt that MS Office has more formatting finesse then troff. I did not mean to deny this, my point was simply that troff is good enough for many everyday needs, such as writing my article. The old NASA space pen vs Russian pencils can illustrate my point of view: It does not impress me that MS Office has slightly more finesse then the humble troff "pencil" when it is millions of lines of code more "expensive".

But yes, more sophisticated software is needed on occasion. The existence of pencils do not necessitate the burning of all pens and the persecution of its wielders. I apologize if my article causes offense, it is written in a somewhat opinionated style, in the hope of creating a humorous read. But I'm sure a tad bit of arrogance also slipped through...

If on the other hand you are refering simply to typo's, then yes, I do rightly deserve criticism. I have a light reading disorder and my mother tongue is not English. But I am working on this :)
This is an incredibly misleading way to summarize the email in the picture. No reasonable person could read the quote in context and think Blizzard is threatening employees.

Par for the course with tornados. Things stand that shouldn’t and thing that should have stood, don’t.
> every country in the world today have much higher life expectancy than USA in 1900. That isn't perfect, but they aren't dying in droves.

Sure. That's aligned with my point, since [i] modern medicine exists, although the benefits of not dying from preventable disease are unevenly distributed [ii] I wouldn't consider the average US citizen in 1900 to be anything other than very poor relative to modern living standards.

I've spent time in the developing world so I'm well aware you can get a long way with a lot less than developed world minimum wages. I'm also aware that, say, $2.50 PPP (typically about $0.50 in actual local currency) doesn't buy you much of a life even there. And yes, I've also chosen to work less than modern western labour says we should for large parts of my life. But again, if that was taken into account then most of the people in the bottom half of the global income distribution would be worse off, since they're the ones that don't have favourable labour laws, state pensions or the disposable income to take career breaks. I'd agree people on typical Chinese income aren't doing too badly in having material needs met, but the working hours and conditions many have to tolerate [for now] shifts a lot of them back towards "poor"
uBlock Origin can do much more than block ads: you can block annoying live chat scripts, cookie banners, disable JavaScript for specific domains, and even limit maximum size of assets downloaded from website (e.g. huge gif files, images or videos). It's amazing how much faster browsing becomes with correctly customized uBlock Origin.

I personally don't care about "content creators". I create a lot of content for free because it's useful for me in other ways and interesting on its own.

Modern ads are surveillance tech and I want to see that die at any cost. Ads would then either have to adapt to stop being surveillance-based or the most interesting "content creators" would adapt to monetize in other ways.

I really don't see a future in which interesting "content" just stops existing just because tracking ads don't exist. If people want things, they will appear and eventually will be able to be monetized in some way.
My understanding is their password manager is now fully part of the browser and you can enable it to act as a password manager for other apps as well. I just tested adding an email account and got the option to "unlock firefox" and input credentials

I'm going to back up the GP on this!

HN users tend to get annoyed by (1) ads, (2) paywalls, and (3) articles without enough research (aka time aka money). I'm cognizant of the fact that HN isn't a hive mind, and so these complaints aren't necessarily coming from the same people—but some certainly are.

Well, which is it? Or do we expect content creators to work for free?

If we have to pick a poison—and, well, I think we do—the ad model has one major advantage: accessibility. If we want to make information available to as many people as possible, an ad-supported model is the way to do it. Paywalls lock out everyone at the lower end of the income bracket, and force everyone consume content from only a smaller number of sources (since subscribing to every website is impractical).

This isn't to ignore all of the negative social consequences of advertising. The question isn't whether ads are bad, because they absolutely are—the question is whether they're worth the cost of accessible journalism.
My new ram limited does the same thing
I'm saying that power-efficient appliances were an innovation that responded to high energy prices, and with the reduced rate of growth in energy demand has come reduced innovation, which has had the effect of enabling the economics of dirty and inefficient energy generation.

Energy production plants aren't public infrastructure, they're productive capital that has been mismanaged as infrastructure for the last 100 years. When you build a geothermal plant to mine coins, you are making it economically viable at every price, and you can collect or divert surplus electricity to use it to power a city. Governments could even compel power generators mining coins to send a percentage of their electricity usage into the grid as a "tax." I'm suddenly optimistic about this.

> What if you never take that promotion?

It’s not a promotion. It’s an entirely different job. You now manage people, influence and have control over their careers, performance management, as well as obviously working budgets, roadmap, etc.

In my opinion, it’s a downgrade. I’ve found few managers in my career to be effective leaders. Most of my managers relied on the senior engineers to essentially drive the roadmap, do the estimates, lead design, break down the work, delegate, and lead the implementation.

This is generally the trend I see at Amazon at least. The managers who are good are extremely driven and dive super deep into the tech, while showing humility and empathy. They grow their people, get them the right opportunities, and are people you want to be around.

But there are waaaayyy too many managers who simply can’t cut it as engineers and switch from the engineering path to manager path. These folks actually add very little value.

Actually the best managers I’ve worked with are all former engineers who didn’t want to become managers but took on the role because they knew they could fulfill the need.
I think they already have. That's why thy want it.
From my experience so far, you can keep plodding along as a regular developer as you get older. Your salary will plateau eventually. The plateau is high relative to most other jobs.
The ranking system in physical and mental sports is essentially the same, it comes down to: 'can you beat or compete with X person consistently', and just for context...there were over a million high school football players participating in 2019, and this is mostly in organized play. If I want to get noticed in League, I have to grind a queue for ungodly amount of hours to get to a respectable ranking and then solicit myself to teams for proper team based competition...good luck with all that.
FF gpu acceleration doesn't work with nvidia and xorg.
I may be wrong, but I think it's not legal to be walking on an Autobahn, irrespective of how slow the traffic moves.
I don't see anywhere in those slides where that's substantiated. Tesla and Waymo (and Cruise and Mobileye, FWIW) are making navigation decisions: they'll change lanes, take turns, wait for traffic, use roundabouts, read street lights and speed limit sighs, etc...

Drive Pilot doesn't seem to be doing any of that. It's just a lane assist package: it will drive straight, in its marked lane, behind another vehicle, and that's all it will do. Maybe it will someday, sure. But it's not exhibiting these features anywhere, nor is Mercedes claiming that it has them. Am I missing something?

> “You look at a painting,” Frank Lantz told the interviewer, “and you’re just absorbed.”

> We’re always looking. All day long we’re looking around, looking here, looking there, doing stuff. But then you stop and you look at a painting, and for a minute looking takes over. You’re no longer looking along with other things, you’re just—a hundred percent, your brain is all of sudden just a vision machine. You’re just looking at this thing. ...You fall into it, but then you also are able to lean back and think, “oh, that’s what looking is: that’s color, and shape, and form, and this is how my vision is structured... this is how looking works.”

Great lead in, unclear if the first breakout text block is a direct quote from Lantz but I love it.

* a terminal based desktop email client that keeps track of which alias I use for each recipient and automatically selects the right return address without leaking any others
"it really isn't"

You can't say 'really' and at the same time refer to an article with the word 'debate' in its title. Between World Bank's position and a single article I would take World Bank any time.

Take a look at the drop of the ruble to dollar exchange rate in 2014. Without adjusting for PPP this would mean that everything produced in Russia suddenly lost half of its value, which is absurd.
I played Eastshade about halfway through. Visually it seems similar, and it does have a decent amount of serenity, but it is very much a traditional RPG, with a distinct setting and story, a lot of fetch questing and time pressure for certain things. E.g
you freeze at night and can find yourself rushing to get back inside as the sun sets. It just happens to not have combat and requires you to take nice screenshots every now and then.

You'd have to be naive to expect that capitalism will not bring in innovation and improvement to Space exploration / solutions. I'm all for it.
Witch (https://manytricks.com/witch/) has an option that allows you to treat tabs as if they’re windows, but over time I’ve found Witch more and more buggy and gave up on using it, which is such a shame.
I'd suggest that Blizzard employees consider the consequences of working in computer games, rather than almost any other branch of software engineering, where conditions are better.

Game companies take advantage of the fact that there is a large population of software engineers who want to meld their work and their hobbies by offering worse working conditions, lower pay, and less stable employment than they could get elsewhere.

Just... play games. And work in a field that treats its employees well.
> Would you watch anime and shoot your gun with 'muscle memory' while fighting 5 ruthless, intelligent opponents?

Easy. At some point some actions are so engraved that you respond without even thinking. Example: blinking out on a slight enemy sight.

> A fight requires constant reevaluation of the situation and planning to win the game. If you play by "muscle memory" and win, you are playing against weak unthinking opponents or getting carried by your team.

> If you played against good players, trust me you won't win thinking about anime and chilling. And it's very stressful because you're constantly on guard.

You can use all those big words, but reality is completely different. I've watched amateur/pro Dota 2 since it's inception in 2011 and some pro Dota 1 before that. It is a team game, it is more about team cooperation and heroes you pick. Sure small things can overturn the game, but most of the time it is about bigger game than small actions.

From what I gather, this "Manifestv3" will change the permission system of browser extensions. Extensions won't be able to inject themselves into any website anymore, hence adblockers, which do this, won't function anymore. This may not be completely accurate, but I think is the gist of it. Maybe someone can correct me.

The Chrome devs claim that this is to enhance user security, but I have my doubts about that.
I would think otherwise from people commenting that the document is too long.
In general, yes. I sleep a tiny bit better when someone takes something over from me. If they complete that well, I will go to bat for them to get them recognized.
> (3) ["write programs to handle text streams"] definitely makes no sense outside of CLI commands

I'm not sure I'd say that. In the web development world, you'll definitely see people arguing to "JSON all the things" (text) but others arguing to "protobuff all the things" (binary). And they raise many of the same simplicity-vs-performance issues that came up for Unix CLI commands.

As for (1) and (2) being too ill-defined/a matter of taste – well, I agree, but I don't think that means they're useless. I think of them as being in the same category as advice for writing prose ("Use short sentences where possible", "Avoid cliches"): helpful goals to keep in mind, even if I can't pin down exactly what they mean.
I got the same kind of enjoyment from this game. I went through a kick a few years ago where I tried improving my best time, and my best run was within 10 minutes of the world record. I found it fun to learn how to play the game quickly, but demotivating to try to get a good market seed (I found this as the single most limiting factor of runs), and I stopped running it.
If I remember correctly, back in the 70's in the US speed limits were lowered to increase fuel efficiency. I think people advocating for increased speed limits or no speed limits at all should at least consider the increase in fuel consumption and pollutant emissions when looking at the pros and cons.
What about ads that are personalized just based on actions you've taken on the site, not from tracking you around the internet?
I found category theory to be helpful in giving a vocabulary for some very simple and essential things that otherwise get lost. My goto example are Monoids and Semi-Groups, which are almost mindbogglingly simple but pop up everywhere.

Category theory gives you the precise language to talk about such stuff and helps to communicate and talk about more complex concepts and that's always a plus.
Me too :) I have played with various alternative OS'es, including Multics, in the hope that it could be added to the Haiku/Minoca section. But the OS has to be practical enough for casual use, and similar enough to UNIX to make a comparison viable. Sadly Multics did not qualify. It is just too limited (it reminds me a great deal of UNIX V1 - or DOS for that matter).

You should. They're inventing new ways to use this data against you all the time.

For example, there has been some effort to profile you based on the price you pay for goods on the internet. They assign you a "sucker score". Once you're classified as a sucker, the price you get offered is higher than what a "non-sucker" might receive.

Ask HN: How do you deal with Slack, Discord, Teams, IRC, etc.
Looking at my Discord client, there are about 10 to 20 servers I have join. Some of them are related to work, some dedicated to open-source projects, some are just Twitch streamer communities — you get the idea. There are active discussions in most of them going on, almost 24/7.

My question is: how do people keep up?

I do have notifications disabled as I don't like to be interrupted while working. Is it normal to just go through all channels of interest, scanning for important information every once in a while, or is there a trick to it?

So far I have been doing a very bad job at keeping in touch with these communities. I feel like I lack the time and energy required.

Of course, this also applies to Slack, Teams, and IRC, but is not limited to services that target synchronous communication. Keeping up with mailing lists and bulletin boards has been equally problematic for me.
