The iPhone being a flat glass screen and nothing else really was a big change.

It lets you have video and web browsing, and what actually lets apps be useful.

Before the iPhone, the UX was basically fixed and couldn't be iterated on, and the screen space was ~240p or 144 tops
I've been recommending imprintengine.com - We're in the procurement stages, but I've recommended them to a few scaling stage startups and they've been able to handle international seamlessly, they have a great assortment of products (clothes, stickers, kitchen gadgets, etc), can handle the packaging / design custom boxes, etc. They handle a few big, brand name, modern software companies.

The only situations I could see myself saying that are situations where I'd likely be getting authorities involved anyways. For example if the company is covering up an ongoing breach.

The scariest (potential) downside to nootropics to me is an increased risk of cancer. Because if your normal cells are healthier, cancerous cells are also healthier. As a younger person, cancer is less of a risk so nootropics are less of a risk too.

So I was curious, with that in mind, where the free lunch drugs are? As in, which ones did you enjoy most and why stop taking them?
I don't even understand what you are talking about. Will this new government control the military/police/taxation? If not then it is just another burden for me. And the old government will still be around so you achieved nothing.

I am all for disruption but I really don't know what your plan is. And please understand that disruption is not always good for everyone. A lot of people depend on our current government to survive.

Pretty sweet. I have been called a devops person by others around me (and I am hesitant to proudly identify as one) because this homelab is more impressive and modular than a lot of stuff I have seen colleagues and I put together for professional stuff.

Well done. I was not aware of the Cloudflare solution. Is this something someone can use, _with_ their Cloudflare Access offering, for personal dev/lab envs without breaking the bank?
Yea. I can probably move to a more chill team, but I wouldn't work on anything nearly as cutting edge. I mentally check out for weeks at a time, then get back into it and deliver something large. I'm low key job hunting, but don't entirely trust that it'll be different anywhere else (previous jobs were like this too)
Even simulations fail to push fundamental knowledge forward. Experiments are needed to create models. There are plasma regimes we simply have no empirical observations of, so have no sensical way to simulate.

A friend of mine finished their PhD and is now doing a PostDoc helping in the creation of the first matter-antimatter plasma (electrically neutral where both species have the same mass). It's really cool work.

ARM Morello (on the front page earlier this week: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30007474) is a capability-based architecture, with 129-bit pointers. Compilers for it provide a uintptr_t that is appropriate, but it is far stricter about the kinds of operations that can be done in the reverse direction.
There are a lot of changes needed, especially in (old) corporate environments.

I do use ipv6 at home, and at some of our customers, but some of them would have to essentially redesign their entire networking/vpn/security plan (and yes, existing ones are not good, split horizon DNS is almost always present, DHCP is not only used for security, but also for provisioning, there are products that scan subnets and provide reports on devices required for various compliances ...). And that is a hard sell, for what they see as next to no benefits.
In my modest experience, most people who have issues with RSI and especially carpal problems, they almost universally use Emacs! It is such obvious thing.

I know you can remap keys or whatnot, but if you look at people experimenting with layouts and trying to resolve RSI problems, it is always Emacs.

I used emacs briefly, not long enough to say, but it seems pretty obvious where the problem is. I understand why people don't want to change their favorite editor.

Is it even possible for a black hole (or any stellar body) to form without angular momentum? Or somehow consume all of its angular momentum without decomposing? I know that it's used in some bits of general relativity around the schwarzchild solution but I've never seen an attempt to prove that they could ever form in the first place. I'd appreciate links to research papers if you know of any.

So what is the definition? That's the entire issue. If the definition is -fno-strict-overflow -fno-strict-aliasing, we are in violent agreement. We should consider making it standard. If the definition is for C to be free of UB, we are in violent disagreement, that would completely ruin C's performance.

FWIW, jumping in here, I agree with you that we should be having this conversation. It's just that the conversation is going to be an inherently slow one since it's talking about very sweeping, broad changes. So it happens in little pieces and little changes over time.
That's addressed in the article:

> The team spent half a year trying to understand how the neural network had gotten so wise. They checked to make sure the algorithm hadn’t just found some way to infer the density from the coding of the simulation rather than the galaxies themselves.
I am a 100% laptop keyboard/trackpad user for both work & play for 10 years now and I haven't had any RSI since I stopped using a mouse (and paid close attention to overall posture, including having wrists straight but relaxed in both X and Y axis).

To your first citation, purely anecdotal but - over the years when I click on articles by programmers with serious RSI - the ones who identify their text editor are more often die-hard Emacs users (like Stallman). I don't think continual chording is a biologically respectful use of our analog digits. :-)

Personally I dig it. I recently did something similar, and felt dirty not automating everything, every step of the way.

I knew I’d want to change the LAN architecture and the services, and everything; but it was definitely intended as a learning experience for me.

Kinda looking forward to doing it over again with my new/refreshed skillset. Automated everything.
I lost three years of the prime of my life to living in Dayton. It was one of the biggest mistakes I made in my life, one from which I will probably never be able to recover. I did miss the mountains but that wasn't the real problem. I got way more negative and insecure from living there, I had to work at appallingly terrible companies like Reed Elsevier, and I stagnated intellectually. It's the most racist place I've ever lived, and I've lived in Texas. Dayton's idea of a startup is an Amway distributor with a big downline. My ex-brother-in-law had a job making actual things (he's a machinist, specialized in wire EDM, and yeah he's honest) and ended up having to leave Ohio because the economy sucks and the government actively impedes progress. Now he works at Boeing.

I'm sure Pat Gelsinger knows a thing or two I don't about Intel's chances to prosper in Ohio. But Intel's chances to prosper are not individuals' chances to prosper.

The people claiming Intel's employees are "low skill" have no idea what they're talking about.

OSU is apparently pretty good though, and there's apparently a decent startup scene in Columbus now.

But I'm still going to share my experience (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30028203) so other people can take it into account when they're deciding whether to move there or not. I did piss off, thank God.

Bravo, nice work! I am certainly going to use this as a model for my personal setup. Right now I have a few different hosts running different hypervisors, but would like to consolidate on kube and an iaas tool.
Deploying services is 1% of the work. Maintaining them, fixing bugs and bottlenecks is the real works.

And you cannot do when you deploy tools worth millions of lines of code.

OO is a pattern, not (necessarily) a language feature. As already mentioned, GTK is implemented in C, which has "similar" starting point for OO as Rust.
There's a multi-billion market for hyper casual games, and double so if we include slightly less casual games.

And since you need to be Epic or a multi-million funded team with big scale to do an AAA game, but everybody could do a casual (and even more a hyper casual game), I'd say the latter is smarter than sneering on simpler games...

You might not care for those, but billions do. Heck, Wordle could make 10 times the money an average FAANG made in their whole career if it chose so...
The phrase "no such thing as a free lunch" comes from economics — the study of making choices when your resources are finite. The insight conveyed by this phrase is that there's always some opportunity cost (the cost of the next-best-thing you could be doing, instead of eating the free lunch).

If you are not using it in that context, it loses its insight value. There is presumably some energy cost to the cell actually manufacturing the protein, but it's entirely possible that's the whole cost of the "lunch", and it is a price readily paid. Or it might not! That's really up to biology now, as you say.
Just wanted to echo all of this. I started with home-manager and then moved to NixOS over the holiday. It’s really been great: easy to set up, relatively easy to configure most things, and it’s so lovely to know that the changes I make are checked into version control for easy use across machines.

The idea behind the no free lunch principle is that if a small molecule drug exists that can realistically be biologically produced in humans (ie not penicillin) we would probably have evolved that ability already, because we're very well optimized by now.

Are there any major benefits to using Tailscale over vanilla Wireguard?
The generator for a simulation may not be able to predict what the real Earth would look like correctly given infinite Earth-like planets, but that doesn't mean that this algorithm wouldn't be able to correctly deduce some input parameter for the real Earth after training in the sim (like the number of days in a year based on a single minute of simulated video from the surface).

It's a bit of a stretch to call it proof, but the article says they spent half a year of work on making sure it's not just an artifact of the simulation they're basing the prediction on. I wouldn't be surprised if this did actually work, if we could ever collect equivalent real-world data.
I mean, I remember the days when I didn’t expect free updates. That’s my whole point.

I don’t know if I can explain why. Maybe security wasn’t as big of a deal.
There's certainly a lot to be said for the ability to adapt over time to be comfortable at different temperatures. I think a lot of people have just become accustomed to a really narrow comfort range because it's possible and relatively affordable to do so. I get a taste of this as a runner every summer when my first few outings over 80F/27C are excruciating, but within a few weeks feel fine.

I grew up in a big drafty old house that was typically around 62F/16.5C during the day and 55F/13C at night in the winter. We wore wool sweaters and had big down blankets and didn't think much about it. Visiting friends and family who kept their houses much warmer was actually really unpleasant–many nights spent laying awake on top of the covers, too hot to sleep.

These days I live in a NYC apartment with overpowered radiators and a thermostat I don't control where it sometimes creeps up to 78F/25.5C inside until we have to open the windows. Now going back home to visit my parents is COLD! My hands go numb just sitting on the couch reading a book.

Even my wife–who friends and family know as always being too cold–adapted in time to her rented attic room in grad school where it was often cold enough to see your breath in the morning. I'm into the idea of expanding my comfort zone but that was taking it a bit far for my taste!

Great breakdown. I think your view, whether it is exclusively a load-shedding/"I'm the man now", is definitely an incentive for this to go down.

Regarding your reflection on the way you communicated your ideas on this: I found Stratechery extremely insightful and funbexause they approach tech and business from this sort of wonky fan-in-the-stands viewpoint. Over the years it helped me wrap my head around a lot of the weird quirks of business.
Sorry, I'm tired of playing whack-a-mole with what are obviously sane assumptions to you. I literally mentioned out-of-bounds writes as a "universal UB" example, you asked me to demonstrate how UB is relevant in a few optimizations, I did, and now you shift goalposts.

My original point was that compilers don't specifically abuse UB to sleight you. You're trying hard to draw a line in the sand between different degrees of UB so that you can label one side as "not sane", with (what appears to be) the sole intent of concluding malice on the compiler author side. Please accept that the related tradeoffs have been discussed, and that a default was chosen (if you are curious for a recent instance of this, see [0]).

If you are ok with leaving performance on the table by disabling overflow being UB, you are literally free to do that. You're also free to lobby the standard bodies to alter their carefully considered choices. But you're not going to get anywhere by labeling any of this "insane".

If you're going to use those things as the yardstick for success, may I take a moment to point out that China has accomplished all that, much faster, on a much larger relative scale, via a distinctly non-neo-liberal economic system. (50x GDP/capita growth over the past 40 years, +13 years of life expectancy, a reduction in absolute poverty from 88% to 0.7%, etc, etc.)

But I generally don't see many Western economists singing their system's praises.

Yeah, I recall as a kid it was easy to scald or burn oneself on an exposed rubber bottle, and of course it cooled much more rapidly (I too remember that cold clammy feeling in the morning).

However, the more usual situation was to put the HWB in a knitted woollen jacket. That kept the heat in and it didn't burn one and was still warm in the morning.

> the solution to that is get a lot of people on Signal

Wrong. Do they all use the very same server? No, and therefore timing attacks are still there.

> it's very clear that Signal is the best game in house

Wrong. There are protocols designed to provide good security in the first place, like Briar.

> Timing attacks aren't solved by federation btw

Also wrong. Federation makes timing attacks very difficult, especially when servers are delocalized because it increases the amount of access required by any global observer.

I'm going to stop replying. You clearly are not familiar with the topic.

We have a little dhall at work. We use it to generate JSON dynamically from env vars. The tooling is great, and the error messages are great. It’s a bit “functional”, so it will strike some as unfamiliar, but I have really liked using it so far. We will probably extend our use of it to generate json schema documents, since it allows us much better code commenting and structure reuse, even across files.

Key bounce takes place at timescales far shorter than human reaction times. Typically you'd base the interval on the mechanical characteristics of the keypad.

For instance, taking a look with a scope, if you observe that the signal stops bouncing after 3 milliseconds, it would be pretty safe to accept duplicate keypresses with a 10-ms guard interval.
