This is a pet interest of mine for decades. Did you run any of this under perf and check where the time is going? This may be too simple (too regular) to show it, but the biggest issue with all of these is that the branch predictor doesn't have enough context to make good predictions and you end up mispredicting a lot.

This paper https://www.cs.toronto.edu/~matz/dissertation/matzDissertati... (found the reference in https://coredumped.dev/2021/10/21/building-an-emacs-lisp-vm-...) suggests an interesting option which isn't portable, but a lot less work than a full JIT: generate just call and conditional branches. This was enough for them to basically fix all the branch mispredictions. I have yet to try it, but maybe someone else will feel inspired. The pain I ran into when trying is that a naively mapp'ed region will be very far from the code you are trying to call and you won't be able to use simple instructions. The fix is to try to allocate it explicitly closer.

PS: Another technique I have used in Rust (idea was from cloudflare) is to generate closures and have each closure tail call the next. It'll end up very similar to your continuation passing, but at least on my benchmarks it was _slightly_ worse than the naive dispatch.

Drinking is so normative that not drinking became the punk ethos via the hardcore scene, straight edge etc. Two of the most punk guys alive (Ian MacKaye and Henry Rollins) have been sober longer than some people in this thread have been alive. Getting blackout has more in common with hair metal so if your hero is Nikki Sixx, more power to you.
Isn't homeopathy pseudoscience? Yet YouTube is full of people praising it.
JCS has actually spawned an entire new genre of YouTube videos. Just search for "JCS inspired" to find more. I find it really compelling, because it is much more grounded and less sensational than documentaries that would be shown on cable television.

It makes me sad that so many people have a knee-jerk reaction that anything amateurish must be fake news.
The temperatures required to melt the ice in a short timespan, and then the temperatures required to re-freeze it in a short timespan after that, would leave marks in other places in the world as well.

We also know for sure that such extreme events have not happened in recorded history, so at the very least you can trust the method for atmospheric carbon content in the last few thousand years - more than enough to prove man-made as the only explanation of these carbon levels, and to compare for climate effects.
Here.

I've been reading a few books recently on various subjects, and it's really interesting that when you get various processes in unrelated fields, it all just boils down to:

- write a TODO list
- have a step to review and change course to correct

You name it - Agile, Customer Development, Marketing, Weight loss etc!

TODO Lists Work(tm)!

But they sell wild caught salmon and grocery stores sell farmed salmon.There is a significant difference in quality. In fact most farmed salmon are dyed red to more closely resemble wild salmon
Going by specifications the steel fill fraction is 0.22% for P and 0.09% for Q, which are meant for Insulated exterior (structural/non-structural) wall. The numbers work out, even for a moderately more conductive steel.

I wonder if they fill the inside of tubes with rock wool.
From my personal experience I would say we have this bias not only when it comes to success stories.

One person has done something good or bad. Then all people who are in that specific group must be like this. Think of Politicians. One does something bad they are all bad. One bicycle driver is riding like crazy so lets ban all of them. I had some bad Asian food so Asian food in general must be bad. Country X had a shooting once so it must be a unsafe country.

You can find examples like that everywhere.

It makes sense that we also have that bias when it comes to success stories.

Plus with the social media culture of "Do thing X" and you will be successful.

I see that all around: Write a paper journal and you will be successful. Wake up early and you will be successful. Read a bazillion books a year and you will be successful. Read my book and you will be successful. Listen to that podcast and you will be successful. Start a shitty idea startup and sell it after X years and you will be successful.

In the end success is not only hard work. Its not only doing thing X. It has so many variables and random points that we can't just replicate someones success story.

Just think about it for a second. As a European reading about US success stories. How much does it help? The (business) culture is totally different. Yes the internet makes it kind of easier but still its just not the same.

Also whats different is that you are not starting at the same time, location, community, knowledge and luck/random level.

So yeah its fun to read these success stories but they should not be your guide of how to become successful yourself.
>Its terra nullius status results from a discrepancy between the straight political boundary between Egypt and Sudan established in 1899, and the irregular administrative boundary established in 1902. Egypt asserts the political boundary, and Sudan asserts the administrative boundary, with the result that the Hala'ib Triangle is claimed by both and Bir Tawil by neither.

Ah, so that explains it.
> From it I ascertained that the first two questions one should ask are when encountering something in life are, "is this actually important?" and "is this a problem I can actually solve or make a meaningful difference in helping solve?" - anything one can answer "no" to either of those questions one should just let go of, and try to focus one's energies on other problems.

This is also a teaching of stoicism. Focus only on those things you can actually change and understand that your reaction to external things is under your control

“The chief task in life is simply this: to identify and separate matters so that I can say clearly to myself which are externals not under my control, and which have to do with the choices I actually control. Where then do I look for good and evil? Not to uncontrollable externals, but within myself to the choices that are my own…”
– Epictetus

“If you are distressed by anything external, the pain is not due to the thing itself, but to your estimate of it; and this you have the power to revoke at any moment.”
― Marcus Aurelius
So where is the mob? I mean for me this is an attack on science.
There’s also this [0] userscript that does essentially the same thing but doesn’t need a separate extension assuming you already use a userscript manager. It also supports far more domains from the looks of it.

I have no idea what videos you were watching.

The thing that is so compelling about JCS is that he keeps his distance from the subject, and lets the facts speak for themselves most of the time. The only time he really talks about psychology at any length it is pretty textbook criminology that you could find on the wikipedia entry about criminal psychology.
"expect" is like the word "assert". You express which invariant should always be true and therefore there should be no failure. The use of `.expect("Could not read file")` is actually wrong, because it can fail.

I generally agree. Maybe not totally, but software developers will have a very different job role in 10 years.

The most obvious is BigQuery, Palantir, Snowflake, etc. So many data pipelines that currently need 10+ teams of engineers to work on will be done through SparkSQL and SparkML by 1 or 2 teams of Data Engineers (i.e. no distributed systems knowledge) instead. It’s not there yet, but dealing (in an asynchronous context) with data at scale is very close to getting commoditized.

Fortunately, UI applications (synchronous, latency sensitive applications, modeling data input from the real world, making things pretty/unique) will likely always need people to write something kinda like code lol. However, I feel like they will likely have classes/experience with HCI/design, product management/MBAs, in the long-long run probably with law/accounting/medicine/architecture/etc.

That said, there is just so much of the real world that needs to be better modeled digitally that everyone that learns coding-like skills will continue to be highly employable. At least, until the singularity. Then all bets are off.
Perfect? No.

Awesome? Yes.

Currently using pop os for all my desktop-type computing (gaming, coding, casual web, etc).

The true sign that it is awesome is that I feel confident again (after quite a few years) to suggest non-technical people (mom, grandma type of people) to install linux on their main system, because I know I will get far less calls saying "I can't do this". And when I do get these calls they will be easier to address.
"Interestingly, however, the authors observed the opposite: despite seeing opposing examples or no data at all, the overwhelming majority of participants expressed substantial levels of confidence."

Which is the usual big problem - overconfidence in the absence of data.
SerenityOS is great too. But it doesn’t run on real hardware yet I think?
> Corporate life today has this idea that we should always be doing more.

I too have this idea that corporations should always be doing more. Paying employees more. Offering more benefits. Paying more taxes.
The amount of companies doing now OKR is baffling to me.

Also most companies I have seen and worked with are doing OKR as a to-do list for the management to check what people are doing.

Once I read the name Richard Parker it make me wonder if Life of Pi was somewhat inspired by the story, and indeed the article mentions such.

I've been replaying God of War thanks to the recently released PC port and when Kratos (voiced by Christopher Judge aka Teal'c) says "Indeed" the first time I laughed out loud. The show has a lot of qualities, but especially that it makes you feel really fond of the characters.
> Workers comp for death is always paid without any dispute.

No, it's not.

Workers comp for death at work might be, because it's open and shut, but workers comp for death caused by work is as often disputed as any other work-caused injury.

> There is no such thing as "workers comp law," so even though they advertise as such, there's no such thing as a "workers comp lawyer."

There is distinct law and legal process around workers comp, and there are lawyers that build their practice around it because their is a sufficient body of disputes to make that worthwhile. Yes, it's a subset of personal injury law, as workers compensation systems are themselves an outgrowth of one particular liability rule in personal injury law.

> OP believes it's a conspiracy

That's nice. Neither that, nor its negation, is the claim I took issue with.
lol companies that made so much money off of free software now crying because they took it and were too lazy to also test that it keeps working before crapping it out into the world to handle all of our sensitive data.
the only one I remember is Borland's Turbo Vision. I'm not sure it had layouts or only overlapping windows.
Those crazy ideas are crazy only when they fail.

And with great execution even the most crazy idea can become a success - there are tons of examples.

Ideas have nothing to do with failures, marriage breakups etc. That's bad planning, no backup plan, etc.
The entire point of OP was that all the applications are made by the same team. There are no 3rd party applications.

If I ever fall under the influence of a suicide cult. I hope I can convince them that I should be the one to stay behind and "maintain the website" ^_^
On a side note, Atlas Obscura is a great website.
Great points and with that, I would say with that success, in my opinion, should be far more an internally derived metric than an external one. Sure, material success is one form of achievement in life. However, there are so many other forms of success (e.g., parenthood, safety, etc). FOMO is real and sometimes people measure themselves so harshly against the accomplishments of others that they fail to acknowledge their own successes in life.
The comment was in the context of a San Francisco City Ordnance, so the question is, does the City of San Francisco use Real-time continuous facial recognition? Today the answer is no, but that's likely to change; therefore, any forward-looking ordnance should take it as a given.
This is simultaneously fun and mildly horrifying.
Did this get rejected from the Chrome Store? Would've been more convenient.
> You've an obvious axe to grind, which is fine, but does not give you the right to dictate what is and is not misinformation, nor harmful.

I'm a different person. I don't have an axe to grind. I'm not dictating anything misinformation or not. Neither was the other person.

> For all you know it could be C&D letters, not all the vids have been stricken

Then why would we be talking about videos YouTube removed for being misinformation?

> You don't run youtube either, so why is what you think relevant?

I believe the statement made was "YouTube has the right to choose what they distribute". You also have that right. So do I. I don't need to run YouTube (or HN) to believe they have those rights. You or I can deem whatever we wish, and you'd be correct: it isn't relevant.
A better idea might be to take a place that is very inhospitable but already has a sizeable human presence, like the site of the EELT https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_Large_Telescope . This region is politically stable. It has to be for the extremely large investment of the EELT.

Then take a few square kilometers of desert in the vicinity and try to build a self sustaining city there for the EELT employees. Maybe it can grow into a tourist attraction. You would have to be extremely careful not to create light pollution though.
Yes, because the most critical element of most successes which are almost never mentioned in success stories is the social connectedness of the founders to wealthy individuals. This is 99.9% of what success is. You can have a terrible idea, terrible execution but if you're friends with the CEO of a big tech corporation, you are still likely to get a ton of funding and a multi-million dollar exit. This is made obvious based on how often they shut down the projects after acquisition; they never cared about the tech... It's pure cronyism.
In what regard is Skyrim's gameplay emergent, aside from the OP link's fox example?

As I understand it, Radiant AI is a framework for fixed and relatively simple finite state machines, with states like "use the anvil at the blacksmith's shop during working hours" or "drink in the tavern at 9 PM." Don't get me wrong, it's leaps and bounds beyond the NPC AI found in earlier games, but it's far from the emergent craziness you'll see in a sandbox game like Rimworld or Dwarf Fortress. Dynamic behaviors like the one you mentioned are still all essentially scripted interactions. Dialogue, the core interaction between the player and most NPCs, is still 100% scripted conversation trees. The most interesting emergent events I remember from Skyrim (or Oblivion) were funny glitches like this one:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvuW2Jl5ZyY

I'd also like to hear the GP commentor's reply re: emergent gameplay in Morrowind. I haven't played that game as much as the others, and don't have enough in-game experience to comment.
The land either belongs to Egypt or to Sudan. Suppose I buy a bike from you. The bike is faulty so I declare the transaction null and void and demand my money back. You refuse to reverse the transaction. Who owns the bike? You claim I own the bike and I claim you own it. Who the owner actually is won't be settled before a court process. Bir Tawil is the same. Thus third parties claiming Bir Tawil is nonsense. It's like a random person claiming the bike is theirs since neither I nor who I bought it from wants it.

This is different from stuff that legitimately has no owner, like a flower in a forest. Unless the forest is private property, the flower has no owner until it is picked. As can be imagined, very few things actually has no owner.
You can also use a one line JS bookmarklet on the article page, such as the following:

Absolutely. And this is what drives the progress.
This is one of the reasons US is leading in so many industries, especially tech.

Sure many individuals will fail, but if you planned everything - you will recover. And the benefits for the collective/country are just so big.
These days it's easier to create an OS from scratch than a web browser.
Today's aircraft can easily handle transpacific flights, and Tonga is in the Southern Hemisphere close to the equator so even Southern Hemisphere flights would likely avoid it.

It's basically just Australia and New Zealand to Hawaii and North America, and Pacific Islands east of Tonga. As well as any inter-Oceanic flights that happen to pass it.
Productive? Don't have a short response to the implications here.

In any case, doing things because they are popular doesn't sit well with me. Fast food is popular, and yet I would advise to stay away from most of it
I think they probably do.

But the worst part about success stories is all the LinkedIn cringe, inspirational quotes, smug advice and airport business books they generate.
that is fine, but one these projects cross some point, the creators have the tendency to forget their motivation being selfish in the first place, and try to promote their creation as if what they had in mind was to solve problem for other people.

Nobody writes it, but it's okay to have average job, with average life and average family as long as you can enjoy your life! Why burden yourself with idea of success and setting expectations. At this point I am sure life doesn't give anything unless you look for it. And even if you seek, there is no guarantee. So I think it's waste of energy.

My experience so far.

I am really glad that I learned how stability is necessary in life.

I have been led into this "work and be successful" bias my reading PG's essay, story about motivated dropouts, Outlier's etc. I thought putting hours was enough to be successful! But nah, nothing is possible without some play of luck. Luck feels like multiplier.

Therefore, now that old perspective has changed, I am able to see completely new perspective. Instead of startup I look for long term careers. Instead of chasing money, I chase my own curiosity with optimism. I accepted that I amount to nobody!!

The beauty of this approach is I can let go of "I must do something important" mentality and explore anything which may sound super dumb and useless to society. For example, the other day I was looking into Gameboy architecture, one day GDB. That day I learnt you can record and replay programs in GDB! They don't teach this at college.

The hindsight is I get to enjoy the life! To me enjoying my life is being successful ;)
Some would consider being haunted by one bad thing you did for your entire life to be unfair. People can change, but only if we as a society let then. A big reason for recidivism is that once people come out of prison, their job prospects are trash, so if they want to make a living, going back to crime is the best way. They went to trial, a punishment was selected and carried out, that should be the end (unless part of the punishment was being permanently labeled like with sex offenders, but we've seen how that can backfire).

ANECDOTE ALERT: I'm vaguely familiar with a local case of an alcoholic abusive father who went to prison for a short time, then spent a few years in rehab/AA. He's a really sweet guy now, extremely ashamed of his past and doing everything he can to make things right (financially contributing to his family and working on repairing their relationships). He was a nobody alcoholic, so his name never appeared in any newspapers, but imagine if it had - he'd probably be broke, homeless and drinking again in no time. This is a pattern we often see with the "town drunks", who everybody knows as such and so any attempts they make to clean up are immediately met with distrust or even worse ridicule. So they never change.

1. If we knew the factors to make successful companies vc would not fund 90% of companies that fails

2. We don't know what has made a company succeed, so success stories only show cherry picked reasons of the overall

3. Success stories are biased towards making people look good and less socially acceptable things (like, the founder lied to the customers) are hidden

I use my phone mainly as a pocket watch; also it has a token generator thing on it which I need for work. The map app is sometimes useful, though I've never been very good at relating the map to the streets around me. I have a couple of news apps, for reading while commuting (not something I do much of ATM).

The key to successful phone usage is, when you get a new phone, don't tell anyone beyond your immediate emergency contact individual your new phone number.
