Old New Thing[0] by Raymond Chen from Microsoft. Might be particularly interesting given the Exchange bug that happened today.

This sounds incredibly interesting and would love to know more about it. Where to read more or get in touch with you? (your profile doesn't mention any contacts or links)
WSJ report claims that AWS commands 41%, Microsoft Azure 20% and Google Cloud 6%
Vim and Lua evolved in similar timelines. It's plausible that vimscript was written without him knowing Lua was a choice.
I guess this is why macros aren't the be-all end-all solution to problems in language design: It's difficult to construct tooling around them.

It could be argued that "functions" are a form of programming language extension that are friendlier to tools. For programming-language fascinated beginners, this could be a good way of motivating "functions" as a language feature.
I think that one way to deal with uninteresting topics (in this case, shows / sports you don't find valuable to watch) is being able to shift topics. I find this a bit magical sometimes - shuffling through the topics until one of them fits the bill and results in a long discussion.

Of course, this is easier to do in one-on-one setting, and when the whole group wants to spend an hour unrelentingly chatting about shows (when you don't watch any) it's a bit daunting to shift their attention to something else. In such situations I tend to find anything I can relate to and introduce the topic. This could be how their description of a show brings another old one I actually had watched, or maybe chat about how many shows they go through daily, do they find their TV good, how many subscriptions do they have to maintain.
Anything goes, in my opinion; heck, even throwing the "I don't watch shows" works (as long as you don't make it sound arrogant / condescending).
It is, but some vaccinated people apparently have a hard time understanding how things work and who is actually at risk.

Indeed, also see linguee.com which uses (mainly) official EU documents to feed an enormous amount of word and phrase translations. Beautiful site that I've been using a long time - and only learn this minute that they are in fact also owned by deepL.
Vaccines are not active viruses so I don't get the question.

Seeing the title and the conclusions, how can this be the case? Computationally they're not much behind ASICs per $, are much more broadly available to buy and are easier to sell when needed.

I used to question alternative CLI ui/ux.

Not anymore:

> Coworker who sees me looking at something in a browser: "Glad you're not busy; I need you to do this, this, this..."

> Coworker who sees me staring intently at a command prompt: Backs away, slowly...

Well played.
> This is like driving your neighbor to the airport and thinking that you suddenly have insight into what it's like to be an Uber driver.

Except for the part where you aren't just doing a favor for your neighbor because you are actually using the app to complete the task for a likely stranger, just like everyone else. This indeed makes you a user.

> First of all, simply doing one delivery a month doesn't give you a real sense for what being a gig worker is like.

This is a much more coherent argument, even if I think it misses the point. I don't think the business objective was ever to get a sense for "being a gig worker," but for using the app, which is the thing they are developing.

This article seems to take the stance that this is the only way DoorDash is getting feedback about using the app. If that were the case, the author's point might make more sense. But I don't think anyone legitimately believes DoorDash isn't continuing to do other research alongside this initiative, which leaves the article rather lacking.
In sports, there's a parallel to the old grandma theory that is usually called the "open window theory" (somewhat difficult to google in english, much easier in german where the english term "open window" only exists as a loan word for this particular meaning) which says that after a tough training, some defenses aren't as strong as they usually are. That theory is not entirely uncontested, but if it holds some truth the same mechanism could very well be at play in the wet hair scenario.

(Note how even your wording of the grandma theory is surprisingly in line with infection principles: the wet hair makes you "catch" a cold, from someone else, not directly causing the cold)

The article only attempts to show there's correlation, and ends up by saying "correlation doesn't imply causation, but maybe there's causation". So basically, we don't know.

I'm not blaming the author, because determining causation is hard, and checking there's correlation between two variables can still be interesting, but the article falls short of answering the question.
Hey Marcind! this is an interesting app a few questions that I wasn't able to get a clear answer on in your FAQ.

0) What data is shared through your servers?

1) What video conference tools does this support?

2) Can I use a mobile phone to capture the whiteboard?

0 is the most important part for my current employer as we can't use any tools which share any data with third parties without a lengthy approval process. If there is a guarantee that the app doesn't share data with a third party then it can more easily be tested at a team level (somewhat of a unique requirement for large tech companies).

Feedback on the experience: I tested out the tool from my personal linux machine (Razer blade 15) using a hand written note pad.

0) The experience is really promising

1) I can't hold a notepad steady enough for the video to capture the text appropriately, flipping the notepad around to write more text removes the existing text from the space.

2) I had to hold the notepad within ~6 inches of the laptop camera to have the pen/handwritten text appear clearly. This could be due to the quality of the laptop camera - which is certainly inferior to my iphone 12 pro's camera, and my work machines MBP 16 inch camera.

3) Overall I'd give it a proper test with my coworkers if not for the data sharing/video conference requirements of my current employer.

side note

some numbers^* cannot be meaningfully multiplied or divided. For example, 3^rd place, 30° F, or 37.388N,-122.067S.

Some numbers can only be added to by numbers of a different type. For example x°C + y°K, 3rd grader + year, absolute position + offset. Similarly, subtracting two of these numbers results in a different unit. e.g. position - position = offset

it would be great if someone could comment the exact terminology for what I'm trying to describe.

There’s more nuance to this than you’re portraying because wedge issues exist. Once groups take sides on an issue the predictive power of knowing what someone thinks on one issue implying their stance on every issue skyrockets.

It’s not about thinking for yourself more than it’s a consequence of people being good at mounting a defense for their own ideas whatever they are or wherever they originate. The more “research” you do on an issue the more likely you’ll come away with nothing more than better arguments for your existing stance.

And I’m not claiming to be above it, you can play this game with me too. I am exactly the bleeding heart snowflake liberal.
Yup, with bunk bed setups in each bedroom. It's fairly common, seems to be tolerated by apartment complexes.
just like pointers, it makes sense to subtract them and add offsets but to straight up add them makes no sense.
This is amazing. I just started working on my own todo list system[1] the other week after trying tons of todo list apps. I focused on a command line flat file system first because I've started using hledger and I have a markdown wiki in Obsidian but I want to develop a graphical interface eventually. Yours is lovely. Great ui! I hope you don't mind me taking inspiration!

The biggest thing I've found lacking in most todo list apps is recurring checklists. The closest I've come to having the feature set I wanted was Microsoft's Todo[2] app, which was based on Wunderlist[3]. Microsoft bought and killed it before I had the chance to use it but it sounded pretty excellent.

I still haven't set up my checklist system but I started to take inspiration from scrum at work to just design a hierarchical todo list system with separate files for each long term "epic" project, and then a rolling todo list that should have copies of the lines from the epic files (all of them have unique ids) so that I can check them off easily. The workflow is still evolving.

Thanks for sharing! I'm gonna be watching your repo!

Well, nothing in your comment gave me the impression you were referring to anything in particular. But I was honestly trying to understand what your point was. Really, it just comes across as unspecific rant, so I think I was being pretty generous.
> Why does the US need to have traditional cities?

Where does my comment imply that the US needs anything?
Right. But instead of one presenter with viewers its many to many.
Not in practice, most aren't but it is more about it being forbidden to them in principle (and few other groups) and it being allowed for others.

As you probably already know, vegetarian diet is not always black and white and can become complex with rules on days of the week, specific days on lunar calendar etc.
If you are looking to do some collective good, consider a wildlife conservation project.

I created a GUI wrapper around a popular AI model for object detection for wildlife conservation [0]

The idea is that most ecologists don't have the technical expertise to run such models, so making their life easier is an important task. The use of AI also saves them loads of time. The project was born when I got in touch with New Zealand's Department of Conservation for volunteering opportunities.

I haven't had time to continue working on this; help is welcomed!

That's a fair point - it does really make one think about what the merit for "the absolute case against any and all [anything really]" is at all. The people who will do the work which actually alleviates legitimate complaints about crypto will be doing it from the inside, as optimists, who see problems and find solutions, rather than giving up and declaring the problem an irrecoverable caner.

You don't like the energy being used for hashing? There is a lot of research and work going on in alternatives, most people know about Proof of Stake (though they mistake it for a sort of oligarchy). There are zero knowledge proofs as well - and this absolutism against hashing comes from the conception that crypto has no value (otherwise you have to do cost-benefit analysis and that is difficult, too difficult for most skeptics).

Don't like the insiders scamming newbies? Rather than outlawing the whole market, how about you join people working on presale distributions and contract readability so that investors bear similar or less risk to developers and don't require large initial investments from venture capitalists who are incentivized to dump on retail. And so that understanding what a smart contract does doesn't require decompiling bytecode to an object oriented langauge.

My point is - there are two ways to look at problems: optimism or pecimmism. Pessimism is simply the first half of optimism, the second half, the problem solving, is where the money gets made. Ironic the skeptics make it half way yet end up further than the typical Doge investor.

I'm surprised that GCP is claimed to have less than the third of Azure's market share.
And AWS is still comfortably in first place.

It also depends a lot on how they count these market shares. Once we go past the basic renting of CPU/Disk, it gets tricky: How far is a service still considered as part of the "cloud market". For example, renting a virtual machine to use as a desktop-in-the-cloud would count, but what about 'renting' a machine to play games? (Like with Xbox, Luna or Stadia)
Same question with productivity/office services.
Above any sort of passive learning is doing - meditation. This is a contact sport. No different from weight training.

Beyond that, I would recommend "10% Happier" as it is very pragmatic and belief agnostic. Good for newcomers. Next, I'd recommend "Buddhism Plain And Simple" (Steve Hagen). You do not need to follow Buddhism or have any intention to engage with it as a philosophy to wring a ton of value from the book re: how the mind works.

I run Blogosphere (https://bilbof.com/blogosphere/) which aggregates blogs from independent engineers, and uses a recommendation system to find you new posts. This isn’t quite what you asked for as you wanted tech company blogs, but I often find independent engineers have really interesting, original, and more personal stories/style that you wouldn’t always get on corporate blogs.
Until a few hours ago I didn't know you could have polls at all

> The vaccines don’t work at all against omicron

This is just false and if you believe in the science, you believe in the scientific method, the scientific method shows that this is false. See this https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMc211927

Plenty of people are going to the hospital with omicron so it isn't mild for everyone. It's milder than previous strains and it's especially mild for vaccinated people.
Your answer does not conform to the common model. Let's make it harder to read instead of having a frank discussion.

I wonder about the churn in the user community. If the community doesn't regularly refresh by attrition and new-joiners, then it must be aging. If that were the case, you'd expect to see quarter-life crises, mid-life crises, etc., reflected in the posts at predictable points. The pace is accelerated, of course, because we're on internet time.
Concur totally after living in Sevilla (Spain). US cities - with the exception of New York - are just cookie-cutter strip malls. There’s a fundamental lack of coherence that’s hard to explain.
The article in Chinese gives a lot more technical detail: http://finance.people.com.cn/n1/2021/1231/c1004-32321622.htm...

In short, every one of the over 600,000 “administrative villages” in China (https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Villages_of_China), with an average population of ~1000 each, now has broadband internet, which is either Fiber or 4G connectivity. Over 99% of villages have both. The average broadband fiber speed is 100Mbps.

This has been a long-term effort. At the start of the 13th Five Year Plan (2016), 50000 villages had no
broadband internet at all, while another 150000 had speeds less than 4Mb/s. Since then, 130000 fiber networks and 60000 4G base stations were constructed.

The Chinese article also goes into detail on the efforts that were expended into getting the last few villages connected up; these were remote, hard to reach settlements with a high construction cost and a low number of viable subscribers. However, since the national plan was clearly 100% of all villages, the national and provincial governments covered much of the costs necessary to bring broadband to these remote areas.
I work in deep learning and had to camp out in front of a best buy to get my hands on some 3090s. A good portion of the people in line with me were crypto miners who were waiting to get more GPUs to add to their collection because they're making money on each one and as long as it's profitable it makes perfect sense for them to buy up more.
That's not a fix, barely an improvement, really just a shitty workaround: the exact same issue rear its head again in 2043.

The actual fix is exactly what the original comment states: a version is not a number.

Hi there.

Seeing as you are in DRC. I've worked on a number of projects there. Maybe you might be interested in checking out an app we made to help NGO/media etc learn about and manage their digital and physical security? Lots of groups on the ground there have used it in situations like kidnap, targeted malware etc.

It's called Umbrella. It's free, opens source, on ios and Android available in many languages. If you are interested, have a look at at https://www.secfirst.org or ping me via the email in my profile! :)

What in my comment is "unspecific"? Most of the comments here are speculating about the author's mental state, claiming they must have self-diagnosed this issue (which isn't true), or that they just need to find another language to write apps in (missing the point they were an active contributor to the spec and cared deeply about this language). Very few of them are actually addressing the content of the article itself, instead dismissing the author as either insignificant to the cause or just being whiney, etc.

I have quite a few comments here pointing that out to people. If you didn't get much worth out of my comment, or if it was obvious, perhaps you weren't the intended reader.

Whether he is smart or not is almost irrelevant: we are all human and share the human experience, smart or not. If you can’t relate to other humans even though we all share the same experience, you’re not trying or you need training.

Books like “How To Win Friends and Influence People” might be for him. To some, the principles in that book are natural and obvious. Others, like this guy, might find it a learning experience.
> It’s far more likely that the OP is lacking in social skills.

Ugh... I'm sure you mean well, but I doubt anyone can analyze someone's real-world behavior based on a few paragraphs.

This form of psychoanalysis is something the smartypants on HN do a lot, and it should be considered more offensive than it usually is. I have been called antisocial, autistic, sociopathic, you name it; while I am certainly imperfect, it is very rude to run to these conclusions based on a person's isolated opinion they were willing to make themselves vulnerable over.

Some people just don't get stimulated by conventional social settings. I consider myself a student of human behavior and have tried improving my social skills over the years (to varying levels of success), but in the end I really don't care very much about sportsball, the weather, the Netflix show of the hour, learning the names of a dozen people I will never see again, what Tina said to David, the recipe for the dish someone brought to the party. This isn't to say I don't care on any level, but I can only take so much of it because I am way more stimulated by ideas and my own imagination.

This isn't something I have much choice in, and there comes a point where I will not apologize for it. Sure, you don't want to never go to any parties, but not all parties are worth the time. If I know I'm not right for a particular party, I'll just leave and give a polite reason. No sense in me dragging it down for others. If I was at a nerd party, I wouldn't expect Chad Thunderrock to hang around for the sake of it.
The drawbacks of accessible computing (e.g. shortened attention span, low-quality media consumption) are vastly outweighed by its potential to allow people social mobility and learn new skills they wouldn't have otherwise.

If I were born in an era before computers and the internet, it's unlikely I would have experienced the best works of classical music and hip hop; explored poetry and the great classical books; and taught myself professional skills and improved academically with access to textbooks and online lecture courses.

I suppose it's possible I could have looked for real-life pockets of communities where these are celebrated, went to a physical library, and asked for help at a community college. But more likely, I would've just copied what my family and peers were doing when I was younger and missed out on so much growth, because of a lack of connection to people passionate about these things that the internet provided.
So I just did this command for the hell of it, and it worked:

There are lot of "numbers" not actually being numbers. E.g. phone "numbers" are not numbers. The same as a house "numbers" are not numbers. Version "numbers" are also often not numbers (e.g. 2.1.230-rc.1).

If the OP bug was really triggered by a string of numerical characters not fitting into a 32bit integer, all the trouble of saving a few bytes on the client system were not worth it.
> So.. are database IDs numbers?

No.

> Because they sure are autoincrement integers in almost every DBMS.

The autoincrement occurs before it's a database ID. The generator for database ids is a sequence, that has no bearing on the semantics of the database ids.
