You can cover the exhaust with filter material, that's what I did.
Does Rust have computed goto, which really helps interpreter speed?

It basically means you can do something like "goto opcode_table[*(++ip)];"

GCC offers it as a non-standard extension to C.

https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Labels-as-Values.html

FORTRAN has had it since 1957. But Pascal and C purged "evil computed GOTO" and only offered non-computed goto. Then Java etc. purged non-computed goto.
The parent comment used those exact words ("consulting with local entrepeneurs") as a reason not to implement GDPR. I was pointing out that this is did not convey the clean-and-efficient image they had in mind when framed that in opposition to lobbyists.
My guess is that everybody uses them when they have plenty to do.

I'm superbly disorganized all the time, but when I had clients, projects, deadlines or generally a lot of stuff to do that I wanted done, I wrote a to-do list.
This kind of argument is exactly what I described above as an arrogant attitude. Not sure if developers actually use that in this case, but if some projects do - it's not a good thing at all.
I think what they're saying is that some ideas have fallen so far out of favor that believing them is now radical. (Not philosophically radical or intellectually radical, but socially radical.)
Many people still seem to think that it is transmitted on surfaces. Not instead of airborne, but additionally.

And I don't mean experts or lawmakers (that I know of), I mean in my area of the US, grocery stores and gas stations (sometimes) have signs saying put a plastic bag or gloves on your hands.
Ah okay. Why do you think it would be bad? Genuinely asking.
The discussion here about masks is interesting. Many people talking about what their own personal preference for masks, exposure, etc. are.

I'd just like to say: the problem, and where the division (which causes bad health outcomes!) comes from is: deciding what your strategy is, and then trying to force other people to do the same thing.

If my strategy was: don't wear masks and hope to get omicron, and then I forced others to do the same thing, they would rightly be upset at me for it.
And all those American tools would not work without East Asian (mostly Taiwanese and South Korean) hardware. Tech is global, and that doesn't mean every part of the industry is everywhere.

First line of GM recall story (https://www.motortrend.com/news/whoops-2012-chevrolet-sonics...):

> General Motors is recalling some 4300 units of its 2012 Chevrolet Sonic after finding that some of the Sonics were missing front brake pads.

First line of this story:

> Tesla is oftentimes accused of presenting a shiny veneer to the public and its shareholders, only to show its ugly side to employees and customers.

The GM story is dry, factual. There's no indignation. It's less than a quarter of the length of the Tesla story. Nobody's going to get worked up and spread it around social media.

That's not just about who the companies are, it's about how the media reports the stories.
Please read carefully. I never said passing a test is proof of mastery. I said failing the test means no mastery.

I have zero problems agreeing that drinking alone because one is sad is potentially a very, very, bad habit that in a worst-case scenario can lead to full-blown alcoholism.

Yeah, I have to wonder if people are seriously mixing up correlation and causation.

I think the danger (or lack thereof) of solo drinking is highly dependent on a person's reasons for drinking.

I like to get mildly drunk, alone, perhaps... an average of once per month? I've been doing this for about 20 years with no increase in frequency. The key is, I only do this when I'm happy. It's like a little celebration.

For whatever reason, I do not desire alcohol when I'm feeling down. The thought of alcohol's effects seems repugnant to me at those times.
About 10 years ago a friend showed me Google ad words and Google analytics. He could see miss-spelling searches sometimes ending up at his site. He purchased about 20 domains and adwords of different miss spellings and his traffic went up about 35% on his site.
I think you accidentally a word at the beginning of your second paragraph, but it's also worth considering that keeping people gullible and trusting is unfortunately an implicit goal of a lot of (non-scam) companies too. It's much easier to sell things to people who are easy to persuade and convince.
Maybe the point is they don't need to be allowed that snd maybe they shouldn't be allowed that?

I have gone through various tools in the context of a developer, designer, and business person. Right now, I’m comfortable with a pattern and has been OK with the outcome. It is a combination of pen/paper, and digital tools. And yes, I have used Things, Clear, ToDoist, Remember the Milk, that weekly timeline-ish thing, and what not.

Here is my personal way of doing it.

I use the OS built-in Calendar at the base (macOS Calendar in my case). We have the usual family calendar (shared with my wife), then the kids calendar for schools, and stuffs, and eventually my personal and work calendar.

I try to be flexible and move the to-do items in the calendar around or schedule it for specific dates across the months, or the year.

## Morning

I earmarked my own personal time of about 3 hours (6-9AM-ish) for breakfast (for the family + school preparations), exercise, reading/writing, just thinking or doing nothing or play/cycle with the kids.

I also list all the to-do items in 15-min slots in the top of the calendar timeline till about 10AM. That way, it prevents people from booking my slots, while it serves as a to-do with no specific schedule. These days, with people across timezones, this helps to block a Busy/Unavailable time.

Change macOS Calendar default duration to 15-min

`defaults write com.apple.iCal 'Default duration in minutes for new event' 15`

## Work

This is where work related and time-specific slots are scheduled, including meeting, etc.

I also tend to write-out one or two big things for the day/week in a Yellow Sticky and stick it right in the middle of the monitor covering the Apple Logo in my iMac (my current workstation). So, I see it every time without having to bring up calendar. :-)

If I have a specific step-by-step task to complete (usually broken down), I use a piece of paper lying around, or the fancy Japanese paper and then make a checklist manifesto out of it.

## Evenings

I try to leave it as blank as possible but meetings with huge timezone differences tends to pop-up and I’m OK with it.

I know this is may not work for most others. I’m always lazily looking for ways to learn, simplify, minify, and making it better. And yes, I also maintain a plain text file that is in the lines of "T0-D0 or NOT or Maybe".
Masks don’t magically block humidity. In cold weather, the mere fact that a mask redirects more of your exhaled breath upwards (through the mask) can cause fogging.

But yes, most masks seem to fit very poorly indeed.
I think To-Do lists have limited usefulness.

For very specific predetermined tasks, they are of course useful. Like recipes, grocery lists, or doing taxes.

However outside of that, it’s ridiculous to use To-Do lists when better tools are available. Calendar for date sensitive events, OKRs for goals, GitHub issues for engineering, etc.

The mind is also super good at prioritization and determined what’s next. And it’s a better guide to guide your life instead of giant To-Do lists of things you wish to do.
Yeah they made the decision to judge total distance in the fox's pathfinding by number of triangles, not by actual world distance.
There are definitely times when something that seemed like inconsequential bullshit a few rounds deep was revealed to be just that upon reflection while sober. Unfortunately it's a fine line to walk.
In practice many N95s filter over 99% of particles including around the important sizes for COVID. I think of them like drinking coffee from a paper disposable cup: convenient in many ways but more expensive over time and a crappier experience than ceramic. Lots of people will do it.

I do however use a 7502 with 2297 filters for high exposure and GVS Elipse for medium exposure like grocery store.
I use ffmpeg to slice up and convert video.

I just looked at the new features for 5.0.

Does anyone have a more detailed description on what these are?
Also note that the user will be confused when they delete the whole directory and observe 0 bytes get freed. (I guess a similar problem is also there even if you double count.)

The point is, the problem itself is-ill defined. There's no solution to that other than scrapping or redefining the problem itself. And it's hard to define the problem precisely for a non-technical user.
Here is another passage I love. I hope you enjoy it:

Very cool. Nice that it runs without all the processes... But that will come at a certain point haha.

I like that they implemented composing tabs between different applications. This is the way I try to organize work/projecta/projectb/personal use, but it never works with current osses.

Spaces in macOS is actually kind of useless, because certain applications have windows across screens (finder, chrome).

Tabbed Finder windows are the most useless thing ever.. It's Apple listening to HN haha.

The article looks great and I’m looking forward to reading it; this comment is not a criticism of the article.

This API is the only bad thing about Rust!

.expect("Could not read file")

It’s so unfortunate to have an API that reads

.expect("thing we don’t expect")

I think we should all just forget it’s there and use

.unwrap_or_else(|| panic!(“thing we don’t expect”))
I decided to take you up on that vicariously and spent most of the evening reading my copy again. How refreshing it is!

I'm sure you have your own copy, but here is my transcription of the story about Ting the cook from chapter 3:

What you're saying is that if you're not motivated by money, and not worried about money, because you already have tons of money, then disclosing how much money you're making and knowing how much money your peers are making won't make much difference. Well, yes, probably. But I don't think this is the common case - especially when we're talking about academia, which attracts people with different set of motivations, usually.
At least in Firefox you don’t need to clear out the urlbar before pasting into it; what you paste replaces whatever is there. Dunno about Chrome.
One reason why I prefer the web version of Outlook is that you can select text in an email and get a context menu that adds that text to your TODO along with a link back to the original email.

For me, nearly all my new tasks come in via email and if I pass them on for someone else to resolve I will usually hear back via email too, so it makes 100% sense to have my todo list sitting next to my inbox. Drag and drop reordering, easy checkoff with saved history of completed tasks and near-seamless calendar integration make all this a no-brainer for me. I don't generally like MS products, but they got it right on this one.
You are making the assumption that everyone can afford to have a car. Again, that isn't the case.
Maximising the information gained using Shannon's entropy is a very good strategy (assuming the goal is to minimise the expected number of guesses), however it is not necessarily optimal!

I have a counter example for a simplified version the game with the following rule changes:

1. The player is only told which letters in the guess are correct (i.e. they are not told about letters that are present but in a different location).

2. If the player knows there is only one possible solution, the player wins immediately (without having to explicitly guess that word).

3. The set of words that the player is allowed to guess may be disjoint from the set of possible solutions.

Here is the list of possible solutions:

aaaa
aaab
aaba
babb
abaa
bbab
bbba
bbbb

(There are 8 words. The 2nd, 3rd and 4th letters are the binary patterns of length 3, and the 1st letter is a carefully chosen "red herring".)

Here is the dictionary of words the player is allowed go guess:

axxx
xaxx
xxax
xxxa

(Each guess effectively lets the player query a single letter of the solution.)

The information gain for each possible initial guess is identical (all guesses result in a 4-4 split), so a strategy based on information gain would have to make an arbitrary choice.

If the initial guess is axxx (the "red herring"), the expected number of guesses is 3.25.

But a better strategy is to guess xaxx (then guess xxax and xxxa). The expected number of guesses is then 3.

(In this example information gain was tied, but I have a larger example where the information gain for the "red herring" is greater than the information gain for the optimal first guess.)

' Programmable CARS relies on intermediaries in the form of programmers writing unverifiable undebuggable code in esoteric languages. '

I am also skeptical of the current state of programming in autonomous cars. It's buggy and not perfect today. Even the code in anti-lock brakes is unverifiable and esoteric.

Maybe new technologies take time to develop?
There are a lot of experimental/hobby OSs coming out recently, and it's great to see new ideas. I'd love to see more experimentation with stable driver API/ABIs. Decoupling drivers from the kernel might improve hardware support, because those with deep hardware knowledge could come in, write a driver, and then no one would ever have to update it just because of kernel changes.
Then the user should say that and state their argument, no?
Well in the case of my cheap lens, yes I’m saying that the “flaws” result in an aesthetically pleasing image. Plus the difference in how you shoot when the camera isn’t doing the work for you.

But in general I’m unconvinced that the Cult of Sharpness is giving us creative pictures that are more fun or interesting to look at. If the tools really are that much better, shouldn’t we be seeing better photography than ten years ago?

You can achieve this by using your own keyboard (one which has extra programmable keys) or by using Karabiner (or AutoHotKey or …) to make life easier for you. For instance, if you hold C down it could interpret that as Command-C.
Hey, dev here. The compiler flags have been noted to cause binary bloat, which is why they arent used. The AVX flags are noted in the source to be the next step, after they switched from SSE2 to SSE3. Lighthouse measures many things, some not on the client side at all. However, it does measure rendering speed, which is affected by browser speed/hardware. Thats why i included it

Heller, dev here. Many mllvm flags can break stuff especially in chromium, but the LOOP optimizations I added have been extensively tested by me and robrich999, and only signal thinlto to more aggressively optimize, or for clang to do additional passes on loop functions that it is already optimizing for.
It doesn't boost security by alot, but its a sane default.
Genuine question: Does anyone here have a good sense of how easy/hard it is to moderate a platform like YouTube? My sense is that the answer is VERY HARD, so I tend to give them the benefit of the doubt when things go wrong. But perhaps I’m being too generous. Is this something that could be prevented if YouTube just tried harder?

Im looking into that. Im on that site too in the linux and windows section, right under RobRich999, who also makes avx builds. If you experienced issues, it was likely a bug in upstream, since we both use tip-o-tree, not stable or even beta or dev versions.
In terms of an Alcubierre drive, particles would collect along the perimeter of your space time bubble. As soon as you stop and the bubble collapses the collection of particles would explode outwards and more than likely vaporize anything immediately in front of you.
In the near term COVID isn't that likely to make them really sick but a non-negligible % of kids appear to get MIS-C or weird long-term effects like diabetes. If we can extrapolate much from adults getting the kids vaccinated will go a long way towards reducing those.

>> I also saw a recent HN comment that todo lists are basically suitable only for low-level ICs and that the truly successful don't use them. I wondered if that was really true and, well, here we are.

Would love the link if you can find it.

I know around ~10 very successful people (high net worth business owners / C level positions), including some close family members, and they all use TODOs / notes extensively in their personal life and at work. Some have personal assistants that serve a similar function (and they rely heavily on them). We had a joke for one of them that he makes notes to look at other notes (based somewhat in reality - it was a fridge note to look at the longer note on his desk). Many of the older ones have a daily journal where they copy / delete uncompleted tasks to the next day I can't imagine any of them functioning without a TODO system.

They do also heavily use calanders and sometimes the TODO lists and calendars blend together, but it's not a mutually exclusive thing like the original post's links would leave one to believe.

The last article you link is the only one that makes some good points IMO and it's more of an argument for an even better task list if anything.
>"Is/as"

That does not really clarify your true meaning.

And a modification would have fit as a title, HN will allow a title of this length:

"Turning HTML Into A Programming Language With an Extension"

You're full title: HTML Is A Programming Language: An extension to HTML to end the eternal discusion

That was, literally, 1 single character over the HN limit. I'm sure you can have figured one out-- I included a colon when I tested it, that's an easy candidate to leave off.

Sure it's not as nice of a soundbite for posting here or your tweet, but it's accurate. I think most of us here will at least scan a title, but often get annoyed when it runs up against the click-bait line. "Is/as" did not stop it from sounding like the opening of an old claim that has started arguments. This really seems like a deliberate misdirection playing off an old argument to garner more attention for your post.
I agree, and there are also a few UI patches along with the addition of content shell and chromedriver in the installers and portables.

I didn't answer this cleanly in the post, but I don't there is such a thing. The perfect todo list is the one you can get yourself in the habit of using every day. And that varies from person to person.

For me, that was a text file, and I link to my specific suggestions at the bottom. For others (such as Matt Might) it might be an app like OmniFocus. Or perhaps you like working out of your email inbox.
