It was a largely illiterate society that originally enjoyed the works of Homer and Shakespeare, for instance.

ETA It may be that our society now more sorts into literate and illiterate groups and these groups behave differently, interact differently. In ancient times the same groups existed, perhaps, but couldn't be sorted by literacy.

That's an open-source tool I really wished would exist though: Something that lets you scrape social networks and news sites of your choice and organize the various bits of "breaking news" and random tweets into longer-term stories.

I don't mean something like Storify, more something that would let you answer questions like e.g. "when exactly did the current Ukraine situation start? What where the major events that led to the current state? Which other stories or developments are related?"
I think his point is that what you claim to be "here" and "now" is different than what is actually here and now. Just having funding and effort getting put into it does not mean it actually delivers on it's promises. That said I find no reason that cryptocurrencies couldn't deliver given enough time. I just find what they are delivering to be something I rather wish wouldn't exist.
Yeah I'm a bit shocked honestly that it made it into an application as widely used as Telegram. It's bound to be detected eventually and the feature will suddenly break. Such a strange software engineering decision.

They can't even plausibly pretend that they didn't know and it's all a big misunderstanding given the lengths they went to obfuscate it in the code.
No, this article has a number of dog whistles and other verbiage that is meant to appeal to anti-vaxers and conspiracy theorists. It’s not good scientific work. It’s an agenda-pushing piece disguised as a journal article.

I can’t think of why you’d ever want a newline in a filename, but it does make for easier reasoning about what characters (or perhaps I should say bytes) could be found in filenames, as opposed to having to remember a long list of exceptions.
So basically you are saying that even if the domain is something between uninteresting and downright "bad", the fact that it has a lot of technically interesting aspects? I guess I can understand that. That's most likely the reality for a lot of us. Not that the domain we work in is inherently questionable, but that it's just mundane (insurance, manufacturing, whatever)

I feel the same way about most defense tech, for example. For example, I'd have nothing against working on missile guidance systems that actually kill people, but I'd never take a job in adtech. So what we count as questionable is just individual.

This sounds like a religious crusade.

This is typical conservativism, oppression and vilification of 'things I don't like'

Several conversations with tech folks lead me to believe that I would do very well in UX.

> I read the "everyone is mad there's no money in writing free/os software" as meaning that people are upset that you can't really sell GPL'd software to other parties.

Perhaps I'm being too literal/granular, but my point is that there definitely is money in writing open source software. There isn't (often) money in selling it once it's been written, no, but I find that to be a more ethical arrangement for everyone involved, so I think of it as a good thing. In my opinion it is better for people to be paid to do work, than for having done work.

My understanding is that ADHD and it’s medication is actually one of, if not the most, well supported/researched relationships in psychiatry and neurological medicine.

It’s also not at all what is being described here; it’s actually a neurodevelopmental disorder, not “full of energy”. The medication doesn’t suppress energy; the medications are actually amphetamines! If it wasn’t being used to an ADHD brain, they’d be considered recreational stimulants.
I don't think we have good data about this because the prevalence of adult ADHD diagnosis will vary a lot between countries for cultural reasons or because of differences in distributions of careers, even if the underlying level of adult ADHD does not vary.
I think the PC analogy is solid. I think the observation that we need a way to permissionly interact with data is spot-on, and I agree that that could bring a second wave of value creation and innovation.

Think of having a Facebook-like social graph, not controlled by Facebook. Or a merchant aggregation system like Amazon's without Amazon. A system not driven by maximizing exposure monetization (via ads, paid placement, etc.) but by something like a Nash equilibrium that maximizes value creation for participants.

This is what I work on, and I think it can be done.
20% of companies are knocking it out of the park, and 50% are nowhere near a leaderboard. I expect such folks are correct in their observation, but work for the 50%. Perhaps you work for one that is getting a promoter score.

My advice to friends looking for a job, ask them what their NPS is. The leaders in NPS are leaders in employee engagement. If they don’t know, or it’s bad and your role isn’t to make it better, look elsewhere.

But FYI - he is a failed entrepreneur who tried to ride the “enterprise blockchain” wave and failed miserably. Now he spends his days writing screeds against crypto. He is a very weird guy

There’s a really interesting discussion about societal values and the tendency of the ambitious to only take on goals that are safe and socially pre-approved.

We see this in the dev community, where there is automatic admiration for and an an unspoken belief that our careers are just a big ladder to working at a FAANG. And there’s nothing wrong with working there.

But once you adopt a goal like that, you find you’re in competition with people who are driven more by a feeling of winning rather than genuinely wanting to be there. They’d be gunning for Salesforce if it was en vogue.

I’m an an ASR-type (sound science) audiophile, primarily headphones but have some decent home systems (buchardt A500 living room, kef lsx bedroom - dsp controlled, anechoalically flat measuring systems w/ lfe tuned to the spaces they’re in).

My earphone system when out and about are Shure KSE1200 tuned to Harman IE, electrostats that are easily the best in the world when PEQ’ed. I also use AirPods Pro in a pinch. They’re pretty good - even from an audiophile perspective for those who care about proper engineering - I’d give them an A for their tuning and a B for technicalities… which surely could be improved off Bluetooth. They are decently well reviewed AFA tuning on places like Rtings, Crinacle, and are well regarded for the type of device they are on Head-fi.

If you spent any time on ASR you’d know the vast majority of headphones have highly flawed FR, even the very high end. I’d prefer to listen to the lowly AirPods Pro, at least without hefty amounts of PEQ, over most headphones. Fwiw I found head-fi nearly 20 years ago, have been to several CanJams, have run my own meets, and probably owned over $50k in headphone rigs over the years... I know what what the 'best' sounds like.

Hold up, this is some severe goalpost moving. I realize these comments are coming from different people, but this thread started at:

“tribal knowledge required to bypass it, so early in the the life of a programming language, is a really bad sign.”

and within a few replies we ended at (paraphrasing):

“Granted compilation time is incremental, libraries are only compiled once, debug mode is much faster, but it’s really going to be an issue with a huge project on absurdly obsolete hardware.”

As the author of a project that relies on 50+ projects with some massive dependencies (wgpu, Tokio, rayon), yes it can take a good long while to compile from scratch, but it’s not “hours”, and after first compile that’s all paid for going forward.

Honestly this all seems like grasping at one of Rust’s perceived weak points, but really there are so many better criticisms, I don’t know why compile time gets so much attention.
Herd immunity cannot be established with the current crop of COVID-19 vaccines, due to high transmissibity amongst the vaccinated, and without herd immunity, every one contracting COVID-19 is inevitable, so I don't see a basis in the 'vaccinate to protect others' argument.

As for "long COVID", the best evidence available suggests most cases are misattribution:

https://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/fullar...

COVID is not some magical disease. The long term complications emanate from the damage during infection, with severe infections more likely to have long term complications. Mild infections are very unlikely to have long term complications except in so far as the collective hysteria, which is confirmed by polls, and that vastly over-estimates the threat of COVID and leads to extreme over reactions like two week total isolation prescribed for all cases, or all in person classes being cancelled in universities that have a few mild cases, has psychosomatic effects.
Maybe it’s time to get a proper publicly funded universal healthcare system. Then these problems would go away. My hypothesis is it could be funded if we increased federal taxes by 100-200 basis points.
> Opensea is managed by opensea staff

Opensea is just a viewer and tool to interact with contracts. If your NFT is removed from opensea it could still be interacted with through another platform or a platform you make yourself (see notlarvalabs).

E.g the developer of a large NFT platform called hicetnunc had a temper tantrum and deleted their entire platform. But because it’s decentralized another platform (objkt) now provides all the same functionality with the same data.

Because of this you can see why there are such passionate people either side, a lot to gain but also a lot to lose if you’ve normally profited from owning data.

If you had to bet on Apple supporting APTX Lossless or inventing their own thing that won’t work with other peoples stuff, you already know what they’re going to do.
Maybe there's a shortage and a surplus at the same time. A shortage, in the classical definition of rising wages. A surplus, in terms of the impact on society. The cynical explanation is that programmers get paid a lot to do things that are evil. A more mundane reason is Brooks' Law writ large, namely that adding more programmers the current landscape of bad software makes software worse.
As a parent I also ponder such things frequently.

I grew up with a lot of family friends who chose a hands-off or more “fun” approach to learning for their kids, while downplaying rigid formal education. I can’t think of a single case where this resulted in a natural love of learning or a natural self-discipline. I do know a significant number of people in this cluster who grew up to embrace things like alternative medicine, MLMs, and even conspiracy theories, though.

I think the reality is that self-discipline and academic learning is something that benefits greatly from teaching and coaching, even if it can be uncomfortable or un-fun at times.

I also don’t think it’s helpful to try to make everything as enjoyable, fun, or comfortable as possible for kids. Some amount of struggle (though not too much) is healthy for building resiliency and persistence. I grew up with a number of people who’s parents stepped in and made everything easy or comfortable for them at every step of the way, and as adults they tend to crumble when faced with the slightest adversity or stress. It’s hard to re-learn self discipline and self control as an adult.

Happy New Year HN

I am starting a new job on Feb hoping to kick-ass there as its my first (official)job after college and months of OSS.
I will once again try to learn and use Rust but will fail miserably.

My only plan for this new year is to slowdown on consuming content and subjecting myself to a lot more stress and spend more time outside, taking naps and reading books.
What is extreme about my statement? If you see evidence to the contrary, please share it.
Thanks for responding, that sounds cool! I have contemplated a similar setup myself.
I recently visited the National Railway Museum in York, and they had an exhibition about hospital trains in Northern France during WWI. The British government discussed plans for train carriages and trains with train companies before war had even been declared, with the first deliveries to the port of Southampton taking place within the first few weeks of war being declared.
Spend more time with the children, spend more time with my piano, some major improvements to pianojacq.com , spend less time on the meta stuff associated with running a business so that the other two can become a reality. Finish a whole pile of projects and do not start new ones until the old ones are done. This will be hard.
my imagined reason is -- because when that terrible day happens, and an important file with some new name, does in fact get a newline in it, the rest of the system now has predictable code paths. Q. Is this related to perl, who knows
> yet it breaks nearly every text-based tool you could possibly imagine

It breaks badly designed text protocols - some can argue that it's a good idea - "crash early, crash loud" etc.

Also if your protocol breaks with newlines, it probably breaks with other non-literals - brackets, quotes, NUL-bytes, control characters, carriage return char, multibyte chars etc etc.
