Thank you for this!

I would really love to pay you for this service. Chomping at the bit. However, I and many others would be much more willing to do this if we don't have to rely on your privacy policy (i.e., pinky swear) to keep our data private.

I think the simplest thing for you to do would be to implement a an option that allows paying with cryptocurrency (ideally Monero), and which doesn't require an email address. Just generate a subscriber number or username, allow login with user + pass (+ TOTP/HOTP) and allow me to fill my account with crypto!

Someone below mentions a token-based scheme for injecting noise; that's more elegant in some ways but of course more complicated to implement.

thank you for your work!
A rather suboptimal evolutionary path - birds are way better adapted to flight at lower cost but then again they had a 100 million year head start (theropod dinosaurs) compared to bats.
I am afraid that severe climate change might lead to a future with fewer or no borders. Not having borders isn't necessarily going to be great. Nationalism will not go away as long as there are humans. We may have different labels for it but the effect will be the same.
> I don’t think the non-Unix of AmigaOS is the reason we’re stuck with windows

It was not, but if the Amiga users who ventured past the GUI and into the command line interface were used to Unix, it'd be a much more natural migration path for them to move to Unixes than it was to move to Windows (as most did).

Also, if the Amiga was, even if by accident, positioned as an entry level Unix workstation, it'd certainly be very popular at computer labs everywhere. It cost a lot less than a diskless workstation back then.
Your point 1 completely disregards duplicity or the prospect of bait-and-switch.

A con that is pitched out the gate as a con does not gather suckers with anything near the success rate of a rationalizable technology. It's a well known fact that "intelligent" marks can be easier to grift if they can be sold that their "getting grifted" is "getting ahead of the idiots on the next big thing". They practically fill in all the blanks for you with their own imagination.

The ones who take the time to sit down and actually think about how the value proposition is backed, and look at "what a system does, rather than what it's pitched to do" are far more difficult to tap.

Frankly, I assume everything starts as a grift, and only becomes not one through the stakes becoming so large for the "Emperor's New Clothes" moment that no one wants to talk about it.

I'd think a board full of VC's would be somewhat more aware of this. Or is this one of the parts no one talks about because it gets the marks nervous?
The "how" isn't as obvious.

I try to get as far as possible without actually starting work. I'll get all the little things out of the way.

- Prepare clothes for the next day
- Prepare a mug with a teabag, sugar and a spoon
- Close tabs, launch the IDE, start the Docker containers
- Gather the addresses, emails or phone numbers I need to call
- Write a very short term to-do list to get the day started
- Clear small unrelated tasks if needed (inbox triage, small errands etc)

It's very similar to mise en place when you're cooking. You take care of the small tasks first, so that the main task goes smoothly.

It's really effective. In fact, it's sometimes hard to snap out of it and do other things.
I think streaming of illegal content became illegal in Germany in 2017. See here: https://www.simplegermany.com/streaming-in-germany/#Is_strea...
I'm still looking for some way to have a nice (web) UI for this versioning though.
What the fuck are you talking about?

I'm a naturalised Swede, coming originally from Brazil, so I have plenty of hands-on experience to both be offended as to ask what the fuck are you talking about because it's a hugely racist take on multiple layers.

Let me know exactly your points on how Sweden is essentially Rio, I'd love to hear it.
> The AVX-512 instructions not only weren’t enabled by default, they couldn’t be enabled at all unless you went out of your way to disable the efficiency cores completely. They also wouldn’t benefit your workload unless disabling those extra cores was offset by the AVX-512 instructions on the remaining cores.

If your code benefits from AVX-512, it'll probably benefit from turning off the efficiency cores too. Sixteen 256-bit AVX channels are the same as eight 512-bit channels in theoretical throughput. Because there are fewer load/store commands and fewer bunches of setup code to run, overall theoretical efficiency should be higher.

Power efficiency was a killer at 14nm. The cores would downclock into oblivion when AVX-512 executed. Given the node shrink and shutting off half the cores, I don't see why this would happen here. Doing the same calculations with less power means a lot for the kinds of workloads that actually use AVX-512. Sure, idle performance may go down a bit, but once again, if you're running the kind of application that benefits from this, that's also probably not a top consideration either.

The real solution would be for Intel to detect the presence of AVX-512 instructions then automatically and unconditionally pin the thread to the big cores. It wouldn't be hard either, just catch the unknown instruction exception and see if it is AVX-512 then move the thread.
Well the established book character was not recast, he's just working alongside a black female secret agent, so it definitely seems like anyone opposed to the most recent Bond film based on her presence is simply opposed to black female secret agents in general.
To build on that, coming in at #2 in a democratic contest for power means you don't get to be President yet. A properly functioning democracy affords you or your faction a second chance usually enhanced by accepting the result. A properly functioning autocracy doesn't.
Do not open source this... You've created a business not a library or a framework.

I have no idea what the intentions of the GP were but you should definitely retain ownership of your code. Try to sell it. Try to get ad money. If nothing else just have fun with it.

FYI: That's an ADHD trait, and what you are describing is a common technique to combat executive dysfunction called body doubling[1].

One trait isn't an indication of anything, but a dozen could be; maybe show him this- I wrote up my experience here: https://romankogan.net/adhd

Thanks for mentioning it! Had me laughing out loud!
This is something I used to do as well as I had issues shutting my mind off when trying to sleep. The fact all major podcast players have a sleep timer built-in causes me to think it's not that uncommon. I started with audiobooks, but I found my comprehension and memory to be lacking when I woke up in the morning. This caused an issue because if I tried to continue the book during the day from where I left off, I got a weird sense of déjà vu. I started using podcasts because I see them more as in-the-moment entertainment (as such it didn't matter if I absorbed or remembered what I listened to), also because I'm a huge fan of podcasts. I stopped the practice because I found myself staying up sometimes 30 minutes later just to hear how the podcast ends.

1. I loved listening to what I'd describe as CMTC (Corporate Malfeasance True Crime) to fall asleep. Podcasts like Swindled, Dr.Death, The Dropout, WeCrashed, American Scandal and the other related Wondery Podcasts.

2. A pretty basic setup, I charge my phone overnight across the room so I'd just use Pocketcasts and a sleep timer on my phone.
If someone creates files with control characters opening the containing directory in vim will let you delete the offending file, works like a bootleg file commander you don't have to install
I learned C on a Unix-like OS, QNX, running on a 640K 8088 PC clone. It booted from a 360K floppy and had, in those 360K, a shell, vi and a C compiler.
No one cares nerd
I agree until your second to last sentence. I think the hesitation isn’t because of military concerns, I think the USSR posed a serious military threat if the US ever decided to throw down, but rather economic issues. Unlike the USSR, America does a lot of trading with China, which makes framing them as some boogie man both practically and rhetorically tricky. It doesn’t help that business interests (and consumers) in the US would scream bloody murder if the tap of cheap consumer products was turned off.

I also think that the end of the Cold War, the failure of the forever wars, and our bungled pandemic response has taken a lot of gloss off the old propaganda. The interruption of having the USSR fall has made a lot of Americans look around and saw “wait, why does life kinda suck here though?”, and it’s kind of hard to rebuild that propaganda machine once it’s stopped.
The US average is a above 16%.
I wonder if some of the classes are just easy to detect objects that they're using to assess the accuracy of the user.
Not the person you replied to, but I've had similar experiences. Just having another perspective to compare to can help. If I've had a good experience, I can tell when I'm not there. That's often enough to close the gap.

The almighty Founding Farme^H^H^Hthers were upper class slave owners, not some omniscient illuminati. In the century after the constitution was ratified there were financial crises, domestic terrorism, skirmishes, ethnic cleansing, lynching, and civil war. The idea that the US republic is the ideal institution is propaganda drummed into the head of US school children. The US is where it is in the world order because of _resources_, access to a large amount of slaves at the time of colonization, geographical isolation, and many other fortunate circumstances.

Please do so. It's never too late to do.

BTW, it has nothing to do with Kazakhstan's legitimate goverment, which is free to request military assistance from an organization (not just from Russia, if it matters).
Key M1 Mac Engineer Departs Apple for Intel
Maybe the higher place of existence is to find humor in playing subtle pranks on our fellow man. I mean, most fun gods were also pranksters.
The difference is dual screens don't work on the M1 MBA because it physically only has two display controllers in the silicon, one of them wired to the internal panel, and the other muxed to the two TB ports. The M1 Pro has two external display controllers, and the M1 Max four. I can show you where they are on the die shots, and that it's not artificial crippling.

But what Intel is doing here is disabling existing silicon that exists and works.
You get a directory listing which allows you to navigate to the file you want.
I think we are not in disagreement - I am absolutely for static types and even for some notion of ownerships a la Rust, but for example dependent types may not be worth the extra mental overhead/arguings with the compiler.
There are two lists. One is for countries that have been at some point and the other is countries with a socialist/communist ruling recently or nowadays.

In Portugal a socialist-communist government is governing right now. It is not like they do what their supposed ideology says, but it is a fact that the government is that. Mexico is now managed by Lopez Obrador, a socialist. Argentina by Alberto Fernández. Another socialist. I agree those countries are nothing near Russia before, but it is the governments they have now.
Wonderful antithetical headline aside, this is a bad idea on its face. Your nemesis goes in trying to limit and destroy you, while a mentor tries to support and build you up.
That's a bit like saying heroin addicts simply shouldn't use it, the companies are starving for revenue.
super cool. would love a "has lyrics" feature (for my player, https://avant.fm). Always wonder how hard that would be.
What about the heavy hand of government that keeps people from competing with unions in non-right to work states? If a union negotiates $100/hour for some pud job anyone can do, and I'm willing to do it for $99, then why does the union get to keep me from taking the job? Why does someone else's wants interfere with my free negotiations with someone else?

History is also replete with unions beating 'scabs' to death, like Caesar Chavez's union members beating immigrants in the desert as they tried to cross the border.
Syncthing has reminded me how great computers can be if they are not made by corporations. It’s simple, predictable, sane, acts no-nonsense

Most open source software is like that. In this very article you see exactly what capitalism and the profit motive does to software.

Ancaps will constantly say the refrain “this is due to government, and corporatism, which is very different from capitalism” but I insist — do get into the details of how “pure” capitalism wouldn’t lead to this.

It is similar to how socialists always say about living in state socialism “it’s not REAL socialism, if we ever reached REAL communism all these problems of the ovebearing government bureaucrat class would go away”

Anyway… we do need an economic model to properly compensate open source, journalism and other work on digital content. I think that we can move past these issues with cryptocurrency, which can enable a form of socialism (the network is owned by the users) while compensating people fairly for their work. See for example https://qbix.com/QBUX/whitepaper.html#Monetizing-Open-Source for details on how a micropayment system could actually work !
It actually provides a pretty good interface for choosing files from a directory. Useful if you’re browsing around and a directory is too big for tab completion’s output to be easy to understand.
I see a lot of people predicting the decline of democracy. The US is the pole that is crucial to the world order as I cannot imagine how the world will be if China is the sole power. The last few years as shown how flimsy our systems and safeguards are and that most of them work on honor system rather and someone can definitely do a lot of damage if they wanted to. It feels like the next 2-3 yrs are going to be very critical. I don’t have a very good feeling about the 2024 elections and that might bring by about chaos. What do people think here?
It opens up a navigable directory tree in the Vim window. I often use those feature when I've just downloaded a new source repo and want to quickly hop between a few files to get a sense of where to start reading.

I don't think most civil servants qualify for the high pay portion (at least by comparison to SV pay scales), as their pay is capped. And work as a contractor brings about a host of other issues
I remember musik in the 1990s at the restaurant I worked at. We had it in the kitchen and a different channel in the seating area. Turn a switch on the wall to change channels, if the kitchen and seating were on the same channel then they had music in sync.

Now this was an entirely hardwired system, and there was no remote. I don't know what sonos's patents are for, but the idea was in place and the difference is do it by wireless computer.
I think the key point that you are making is that projects which need more help should place higher priorities on working through PR and issue backlogs as those are a primary way to taking people who are willing to help and converting them into more dedicated and integrated maintainers. Letting those backlogs languish because you don't have enough volunteers becomes a self a reinforcing cycle that becomes harder and harder to break out of.
> You trade off an ISP snooping to a VPN provider snooping.

Well, you trade off the possibility of a VPN provider snooping even though they claim not to for the 100% definite snooping that you know for a fact is happening with an ISP. And even if you get a VPN that snoops, wouldn't you rather have some random small company doing that snooping than, say, Comcast?
In general, and for your own sanity, I'd say be honest with your boss and manager - say you got were bummed by the feedback, that you want to improve and ask what they suggest for next time.

If you still keep getting unwarranted. wrongly timed criticism, I'd say quit. The problem isn't you, and I'd imagine it would be too difficult to establish a good, long term relationship.

Some parts of the game would probably benefit a bit from 512 (also remember that it isn't just wider, it adds a lot of new operations entirely), but there simply isn't enough parallelism in the main loop of a game to make all that much difference.

Also "useful" and benchmarks do not mix well.
I love Confluence.

Writing is very easy, no wrestling with fonts and markdown. Tagging is easy. Multiple people editing the same screen is great! We use Confluence to update holidays and weekly sync documents, as well as debating some technical proposals. We share thoughts and ideas, and it's easy to sort or even add memes. It works better as documentation than say GDocs or Word.

The killer feature is search. It's good enough to just trust. Sometimes someone in another department has written a tutorial on how to do Slack bots and stuff, and a search will reveal it.
If you haven't experienced high humidity its hard to understand how debilitating it can be. You can't cool down easily doing even mild physical work.

I'm in a subtropical zone (Brisbane) and in high humidity weather I do about 30-50% of the physical work I can on a non-humid day I'd estimate. OOften it's best to work outdoors for an hour then cool down for an hour in pool/aircon as if you overheat yourself itcan be hard to get back to normal that day.

That said its a good HN opportunity too for entrepreneurs. We see more and more kit like ice jackets that you freeze then wear outdoors etc for outdoor workers. Tech has to kick in here too.
I genuinely don't understand what stops anyone to ask interviewer about salary on the first interview.

I started off listening to talk radio stations in the UK on my clock radio with a sleep timer when I was a teenager in the '80s, and I see listening to podcasts as an extension of that.

I use Podcast Republic on my phone linked to a set of Bluetooth sleep headphones similar to [1]

In terms of what I listen to, it's mostly factual podcasts from BBC Radio 4, or providers such as the Naked Scientist or History Today.

And with credit, money lent out is money that doesn't actually exist until made real by repayment which must come from extracting value from this planet at ever increasing unsustainable rates, and there's always the risk it won't ever be realized at all in case of defaults. Credit creates money out of nowhere, effectively imposing a tax on everyone and making them poorer so that banks can extract profits. The massive amounts of debt people go into effectively enslaves them forever. Nowhere is this clearer than the student loans scam which not only lures unsuspecting victims into signing up for hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt they might not ever be able to pay off but also drives up the price of tuition and lowers academic integrity precisely because it's trillions of easy government money being injected into the economy.

Efficient use of capital? That's exactly what the banks and investment firms said about stuff like highly leveraged derivatives and the CDOs and all the stuff that caused the 2008 crisis. Bad loans was literally the source of it all. We all know who paid the price for all that and who got to keep their fortunes.
The data is included because there not much verifiable source to come by. Think about your logic -- BBC is UK propaganda who wants to make Kazakhstan look bad, yet they cited government's number and quoted the president, not anyone from the protesters? The government is a party of the conflict, yet you consider their reported number believable?
This is basically saying that the gas prices were used as an convenient excuse to start protests, which obviously had a different (and unknown, except for violence) agenda.
>Dropbox (and iCloud) are meant more for cloud file storage than pure device-to-device synce

Device to device sync was literally the value prop for Dropbox when it launched > 10 years ago. That's why I started using it.

Dropbox does now allow a more cloud-native file system / cloud backup usage pattern, but its roots are absolutely "keep my files in sync across several computers."

After watching that film so many times as a child, on my first visit to San Francisco I was astonished to see how much of the city hadn't changed since 1971.

I also made my hosts take me on a pilgrimage to the stairs at Alta Plaza Park, the damage done to which during the filming of What's Up Doc is still visible. IIRC, Bogdanovich didn't request permission to film that scene on the steps, and was to be charged with vandalism if he made himself a nuisance in the city again...

> There is actually an example in the README on how to change a column from TEXT to INTEGER

I'm not very familiar with PostgreSQL, how do you handle the casts during inserts/updates?

> For the cases that require manual handling, that is a bit tricky.

Yeah in our case we just blocked the schema change and complained. Our support team would then take a look, possibly escalating to development. Not often such a change is done though.

> for example adding missing values

In our case we just delete the offending values if the constraint has "on cascade delete", which most do. We do take a backup of the database before doing schema changes though.
