Add unsustainable mining/fishing/farming/pollution to feed/dress/entertain all those people with high standards of living.

Now you will see the plateu eventually, yes.
But it’s not a natural plateu where we stop because we want chill life, but plateu where we stop because there are no resources (everything is expensive) to support our kids.

Except most of the time, things aren't aware of that.

Yes, today's operating systems are more reliable thanks to memory protection and better abstractions. But that's compensated by insatiable product managers that absolutely have to keep updating a feature-complete product at any cost with features and UI redesigns no one ever asked for.
Startups are a good bet. Look for the more ambitious large ones that are worth over a billion, and still trying to grow 10% every week. You can say "we can't do it" as much as you like, but you have to give a counter proposal to still hit the targets. Often these companies have deep pockets too, so that's fun.

Something like Rocket Internet and their portfolio is a good place to start, or someone in the Alibaba ecosystem if you're not opposed to working with China.

Also the larger ones often pass an intelligence filter, so they're unlikely to push you to unreasonable deadlines and stress levels. But it's still competitive enough and you'll likely find yourself in a team with 10x-ers.
What’s the advantage of this over, say, running your job as a true Unix or Kubernetes level cronjob?

Raspberry Pi, BeagleBone and various arm based embedded systems played a much higher role in getting most linux, BSD tools working under arm.

Same thing that’s happening now with RISC-V and SiFive’s boards.

It’s not apple M1 that’s making this migration possible, its just the cherry on top of a cake.

The cake was all those consumer arm boards and dev kits which got in the hands of various OS developers, software maintainers. Who put in their time to port their codebases to arm and ensure compatibility.
Yes, and of all things, the irony of Intel warning about single source vendors...
Since AMD increased their price (yeah same Intel tactics), and Intel lowered there they are now very similar between Intel and AMD…
I find it odd that in a story about a name being flagged for copyright infringement (wrongly, obviously), they also chose to throw in the comments about 'tech bros in silicon valley', 'women in tech/of color (being discriminated against)' etc.. Which seemed off to me. I don't think these points had anything to do with her account being automatically flagged.
I'd guess they might introduce riscv where it can compete with ARM, but not where it can compete with x86
It was on one of the slides in ReInvent and I remember it was 4x%. But strange I cant find it either. ( I thought it would be easy ) The percentage was on new installation. Will dig this up once I have time to fact check.
My pretty extensive (but poorly organized) config:

https://github.com/nonissue/hammerspoon

Features include:
- TOTP menubar app (that automatically types the code when clicked)
- A menubar app for quickly changing screen resolution
- A menubar sleep timer
- Window management with convenient hot keys and undo functionality
- Capslock rebinding to ESC when pressed alone, CTRL when pressed with other keys
- A utility to allow you to both save a screenshot to disk AND have it copied to clipboard (AFAIK you can't do this natively in macOS).

There's other a bunch of other stuff, but those are the highlights. If you have any questions about it, please let me know! (email: andy@nonissue.org or open an issue on github).
Thanks for pointing this. I'm only supporting PayPal for payout for now as I ran into a blocker with Stripe when trying to implement transferring funds to instructors. Indeed, as students can buy several courses from several different instructors, I can't just use the "destination charges' feature from Stripe, as you mentioned, since that's for 1-to-1 transfer. So, I've looked deeper into this and even contacted Stripe about it, and they suggested to process the payment with Stripe Checkout once, and then create multiple transfers referencing the successful Charge that's created. However, again, I can't really use this because it is a feature that Stripe only support for their US users and I'm in the EU: https://stripe.com/docs/connect/cross-border-payouts. Hopefully, they will release this feature for the EU soon so that I could offer you to connect your Stripe account to receive your payments as an instructor.
Card chargebacks are the way to deal with scum like this. Any time a company fobs you off go to your bank. They pay fees for every chargeback (including if they win), and too many chargebacks will threaten their ability to accept payments at all.
Ehh. 99% of code review is useless nitpicking about whitespace and variable names. Frankly, I have learned far more about software engineering reading hacker news than I have through reviews.

Learn to listen other people talking. I am not sure that is what you intended to search for, but it is practical and it is skill. It is hard, though.

Listening skills help not only in your professional life, but also in raising kids and having a good relationship with friends and family.
It's obvious enough. Conditions change. Systems are dynamic. A model of human society that "works" for the next 10 years may not work for the subsequent 10 years.
You seem to not realize that moving the calculation client-side means to send a JavaScript implementation, which for all sensible implementations would be significantly larger than the pre-computed result.

It's just a (playable) tech demo, alright. We'll have to wait 7 to 10 years until we get games close to this anyway. Remember the "Samaritan" UE3 tech demo? That thing is 11 years old by now [1] and the closest we have to that is probably CP2077 ... and only if you ignore the console ports, yuck.

[1] I am aware of the fact that "back in the day" they used three 580s in SLI or something crazy to run it, but that performance was already surpassed two years later by single card setups.
It is even more of a shame, since Etoile was the project to bring frontend WM and library synchronicity to Linux / macOS (then OS X). But it died and hasn’t been updated in ages, as the last great hurrah in that effort.
Nix does more things than other package managers.

Compared to other package managers: You could use Nix to install packages, in the same way you would with other package managers. An advantage to this is you'll get the same version of the package regardless of which distribution you use. (Whereas with, say, Ubuntu you might need to add a PPA to get versions as bleeding-edge as what Arch would offer).

Nix's tooling is also broader in scope:

e.g. with nix-shell, you can have a shell which has a Go-lang compiler (or whatever) in that shell, but without needing the Go-lang compiler installed on the computer. This is comparable to e.g. asdf, or to running your toolchain in a Docker container (like what VSCode Remote Containers offers). -- i.e. Nix can be useful for development.

NixOS takes the same Nix declarative language, and allows describing the configuration of the whole OS setup with it. Just as Terraform declares an orchestration of cloud infrastructure, NixOS allows declaring how the OS is setup. (Here, Nix is comparable to e.g. cloud-init or Ansible). -- i.e. Nix can be useful for deployment.
It depends on where you live, but if the household only has a single $40k income they would likely be lower-middle class in most of the country. I know people that are raising kids on that, though I wouldn't recommend it. It would only work in a very high cost-of-living area if you were single, though if you have kids you'll receive significant government subsidies. It will only support a simple and unambitious lifestyle but it won't be terrible by any means.

You'll live in a small house or suitable apartment, you'll cook at home almost all the time using inexpensive ingredients, and you'll take inexpensive vacations. You won't have any fancy stuff, aside from one or two special "nice" things, and the stuff you do have you'll use for as long as it is feasible to do so. The most challenging expense will be transportation, because you'll rely on your car and cars are prone to significant random and variable expenses.

Savings won't be enough to cover retirement but you will have a modest amount, you'll mostly be relying on Social Security. Even poor people often have a very modest amount of savings. I know a single mother who amassed $20k savings on a $30k income just by saving for many years.

The ugly part, and one of the main reasons I would not recommend raising a family this way even though I know how, is the social consequences because it comes with a lot of class signals. People in this class are often treated quite shabbily by people that live in the expensive coastal cities, which will impact your kids.

Totally agreed that 100w is a waste at idle, but I don’t think that’s what the parent was talking about. My read was that the parent comment was responding to capacity planning tending towards reducing the number of servers (without building out low latency cold boot infra) in the name of cost/energy savings, and that resulting in higher latency request latency. Anecdotally this seems plausible, but I don’t have metrics to back it up.
I've used Hertz a lot in the past, and to avoid that sort of experience all you have to do is join the gold club (free), make your booking through that, then go to the special gold desk on arrival. Usually everything's ready for you and you just need to pick up the keys.

OTOH yes this story is worrying!
Ha, I also have something similar[1], but I use a mix of profiles and flavors. I have two profiles: pkg for installing packages and user for configuring user profiles. Profiles are then broken down further with flavors: dev for development packages, desktop for desktop packages and configurations, and so on.

I found it highly amusing that we're taking similar approaches for a lot of things: a wrapper function for sudo and fetch, and OS detection (especially the appending WSL suffix part). Mine is not as idempotent as yours, and having a per-package definition is still in my TODO list, though.

During the early pandemic Singapore Airlines canceled my flight and gave me a flight credit. I went in circles with them and Orbitz saying I wanted my money back, to no avail. So I filed a chargeback with Capital One. The airline responded to the dispute saying the ticket I bought was non-refundable. I replied pointing out that means it's not refundable if I cancel, not that the airline can refuse service I paid for and not refund me. I also attached a recent notice from the DoT saying that airlines must refund customers in my situation, and that the specific practice in question was illegal.

Capital One sided with the airline and closed my case. Guess you can't depend on chargebacks like I thought you could.
Very interesting, thanks for sharing.

My main problem with the design doc would be how to cater for changes (e.g. due to technical reasons) that are found later on during the implementation phase: as suggested this would require a complete halt of the process and re-evaluation of the design doc, which doesn't seem feasible in practical terms... Wondering if anyone has done this before.
"Could there be limits to growth?" Yes 100% (you cannot extract indefinitely more and more every year from finite resources), the debate is simply when we'll peak for a given ressource (20 years, 100 years, 1 million years) and the size of such an impact on the economy.

I don’t think that’s a naive question at all, it’s something I’ve been thinking about a lot recently.

We have something like 70k-75k lines of ObjC and plain C in Hammerspoon, written at various times over the last 7ish years, with varying architectural styles as we’ve figured out better ways of doing things.

I would love to have it all ported to Swift with a single, consistent architecture, but it’s a heck of a lot of work!

I’ve been experimenting with some ideas for how the Swift might look, but to really justify all that work I think we’d need to revamp how our user-facing API works, so we’d also be forcing all our users to rewrite their Lua configs.

In summary… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

In a few years BTC price will reach $249M, and then all 21M bitcoins could be exchanged for Earth ;)

One thing I don't understand. Why would anyone exchange their BTC for EARTH?

1 EARTH will always be worth only 1 EARTH, while 1 BTC will continue to double in price with every block reward halvening and will reach $500M, and then $1B, $2B, $1T, → ∞ ;)
We all have different problems. This isn't one I've suffered. The link farm model is capable of maintaining parallel dependencies back to the home-brew version specific install path.

I tend to think somebody didn't do a .rb Formula which preserved this version dependency. It may be clumsy but it's fixable in brew as far as I understand it.
A more realistic project that I am a big fan of is: https://www.klimadao.finance They use a community build treasury to buy carbon credits to increase their value to make it more profitable for solar/wind companies to produce them.
I wonder if one day there will be companies that will just sell iper realistic models of complete cities or popular zone to be used in games or other kind of applications.

Like companies such as Tele Atlas did back in the days for map data (when they didn't have much more than that I guess).
Why bring up cis women specifically? If this response/behavior is in fact real (which I have many doubts on), you could well theorize that it is related to female hormones, which transwomen who have transitioned have as well.
The fact that you can't install Windows on an ARM Mac is mainly a licensing issue, as in, Microsoft will not sell you an ARM license. Apple has said it's open to the idea of ARM Bootcamp and people have pretty successfully ran ARM Windows in VMs.

Confidence is a scale, not binary. What does "sure" mean for you and how much of it do you need to be convinced? Does it depend on the situation? For example, how sure do you need/want to be when you cross the street?

Before I consider that, you'd have to show that magical invisible goats (can) exist.

It was interesting to read the judo analysis and then the surgical example and then generalize by taking complex experiences (for lack of a better word) and deriving patterns out of them to understand what the important difference is. It seems like, in some sense, tacit learning might be viewed as 2nd order - programming at the type level and practice is programming at the term level. This seems to model the tennis analysis also; experts recognizing the posture of the opponent immediately prior to hitting the tennis ball to infer the type of serve.

Is recency of the last shot considered? It's looking more and more like mrna vaccines taper off over the course of six months or so, to some baseline of protection that significantly prevents hospitalization in a majority of cases, but it's hard to get a read on the data - there's so much cruft and badly designed experimentation, it seems like it will be years before clarity is achieved.

There's a lot of weird psychology in how humans work. Many men also notice that they are more interesting to other women, only after they enter a relationship with a woman. Apparently it's one of natures way of conserving energi. One woman have already spend the time to assess the man, and judged him to be a good partner, so it might be easier to just go after this pre-vetted man.
Hi Greg, congratulations on the launch. I've looked around a bit and you did a fantastic job to be honest. It inspired me to keep on crunching on my project as well! I wish you all the luck and success with this.

All the best.
I've worked on a project where its build script is reliant on the existence of Homebrew when a simple command -v would suffice. They have library paths, and everything hard-coded to Homebrew prefix. It has been such a colossal pain to modify all these scripts that I ended up installing macOS in a VM to build the project.
Raspberry Pi was a huge boost, but most of the ARM porting work had been done earlier on other Linux/ARM platforms. We had Debian running on StrongARM iPAQ and Novell Netwinder devices 10+ years before RPi 1.
Thanks for your feedback.

Q1. Yes, the pricing model is something that has been pointing out several time here. I'll think about it and probably open the "Starter" plan as a free tier + the 10% cut. How does it sound?

Q2. Payment via PayPal for students is something I'll definitively support in the near future. Stay tuned ;)

Nix as a package manager is a subset of a broader concept of a graph database of reproducible build instructions that explicitly track every dependency of your project, and a set of tools that allow you to build and cache said dependencies in an isolated, distributed (parallel), and transparent way. Add filesystem- / path-sandboxing to the equation and you'll get a set of features that make Nix different to other conventional package managers.

Advent of PBT – Day 13 – NonogramSolver
Sure, the CSS standard supported CSS tables since the IE6 days, but IE6 didn’t support CSS tables. It wasn’t until IE8 had a decent browser share, around 2011, that it was feasible to use CSS tables. Even here, there were still enough IE6 and IE7 users that I still had stuff like this on my website in 2011:

<!--[if lt IE 8]>
<table><tr>
<td width=640 valign=top>
<![endif]-->

There was a huge disconnect between what the standards documents supported and what browsers actually supported.
