I don't know. I'm very skeptical about the recent TUI approaches. At least that's NOT what the current infrastructure is designed for.

I personally believe we really should graduate from the terminal infrastructure that was designed in the ancient time. We can make a good use of stuffs like client-side UI rendering (fast & reactive), graphical boxes (more compact boxes), image embedding, native multiplexing, capability negotiation, etc. These might be still possible on the existing infrastructure, but a clean slate should provide more consistent experience for everyone involved.

When I was still looking, I was always looking for cold hard cash. I had the dream of retiring as quickly as possible and so nothing mattered to me more than money back then.

Now, if I were to still work, I'd look for purpose, a reason for the company to exist beyond money.

I really like the Astral Codex blog[1]. It is rationalist blog that features a variety of long-form posts, book reviews, discussions, etc. I don't really know if I consider myself a rationalist or not but I find the posts, discussions, and community to be very stimulating.

A typical journey into a Product Manager position would be a lateral move in your current company, under the guidance of a mentor that can support you as you start working as a PM. Certifications are not nearly as important as getting a year or two of actual PM experience under your belt before interviewing elsewhere.
The New Yorker is great https://www.newyorker.com. Amazing writing, so much so that I can be pulled into articles that I wouldn't expect to be interested in. I had a Kindle subscription, but liked it so much I forked out for a print subscription. I find it a real struggle reading long form articles digitally.

As I've seen on HN, a lot of people hate and do not think in SQL, and avoid it by writing something imperative. Replacing a loop with one query is an example of the sort of thing that I've seen make 3 orders of magnitude difference.

Another basic pattern is converting a program or script that loads a whole job into memory into something with fixed size buffers, because specific data made the original explode.

Thanks for creating this, Saw your tweet other day. It looks really great.
I think the way men are "meant" to have friendships (i.e., what biology suggests), is to bond over shared initiatives, organizations, or projects. This can look like working together on a job site for 10 hours, having two beers over 2 hours, and saying 5 sentences that are extremely meaningful. However, modern life doesn't really have the infrastructure for this. Most of us on this site are not engaging in woodworking, sailing, or warfare on a daily basis with the same group of men.

I've had some success in tweaking the female model to male friends, but it takes a lot of work on my part. I call male friends on the phone, which is something most Americans do not do. We either talk work, hobbies, or joke around, maybe 10% of tehse conversations would qualify as more intimate. Those, and they are many, who can't or won't talk on the phone I tend to drift away from, or only see occasionally.
> If the government intervenes, it would undermine the free market

If "custom contracts that give access and custody but have constraints" are the sort of thing the free market enables, it should be undermined. People are supposed to own things. This "you own nothing" bullshit needs to end.
This article is about optimized algorithms. Those could be written as specialized implementations without generics, but with generics people can build reusable libraries.

Did you even read the article?
You in no way responded to the content in my post.

"free speech" and "free markets" are completely separate topics which may or may not be mutually exclusive, both of which are studied well academically. I make no claims on free speech. I simply provided a basic academic background to markets in microeconomics.

Then you provide random sayings to try to discredit my post which have no logical connection to my content.

There is a lot of ignorance in economics. And while ignorance is okay, I am ignorant in a lot of fields, ignorance without recognizing what you do not know is dangerous. This is a well studied field and America's founders even agreed government should have some say in markets. Here is a well cited source for that, search for "free markets". Of note definitions are important and clearly the authors of the link below include government regulation in a "free market" which the definition I gave and the one you responded to do not.

They should do what lab supply companies do who have similar constraints (hard to support dealerships for niche microscopes and such, expensive to ship and time consuming to set up sensitive microscopes and such): Salespeople. Have them make the rounds to the customers like these farmers. If there is interest among the farmers in a given area, you could then organize a demo day, email your clients about it, and interested parties would make time for it, especially if you are offering them a potential out from John Deere's yoke.
From what I have seen (please correct me). Most orgs generally do:

It’s absolutely possible to print Lego compatible bricks with mid-level quality FDM printer on the market today. And not crap either. Usable bricks in a variety of shapes and sizes. It won’t provide the exact same aesthetic, but that’s not really the point.

Resin printers can also produce these kinds of bricks, and they’re going to be even better.

The trouble in both cases is volume. It’s time expensive to print these sorts of things. There are already half a dozen Chinese companies selling knockoff brand Lego sets (“Lepin” and “Legi”). You can find large lots of used bricks on eBay for cheap. It rarely makes sense to print a Lego brick unless you’re doing something custom.

Watson is one the greatest marketing achievements of the 21st century.

Wow, you took that in a different direction. Seemingly responding to all kinds of things I never said.

I think you are, at a minimum, really missing out on some context?

My post was a direct response to a parent poster who mused about how this sort of thing is possible in America, whereas it's nearly impossible for most Europeans. I responded by pointing out that this sort of thing also isn't possible for most Americans.

Or what is the reasoning behind privilege theory?

Not sure what you mean. There's no "theory" in my post. I was not making some grand statement about society or the nature of privilege or whatever the heck else you imagined I was talking about. It would seem to me that you sure wanted to do that, though.

This kid seems super talented, and I'm glad that he seems to have parents with the inclination and means to support this sort of thing.
Diesel might be cleaner in dense cities leading to less smog but coal power around the world still belts out plenty of particulates, scubbers are not perfect and regulations are lax in some localities. One area is marine shipping where different countries have regulations requiring certain emissions standards in their territorial waters but out in the open ocean it's a race to the bottom burning the cheapest fuels possible. It's not just a matter of any ships that want to be able to travel to those ports being built with an exhaust system clean enough to meet regulations, they'll switch fuels going into and out of zones with stricter regulations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZZ591x0Ajs

Cars and trucks don't burn bunker fuel so thick you have to heat it with steam just to pump it into the engine. Local hotspots of pollution on land have gone down, but globally there's still plenty of heavy polluters out there.

The implausibility was obvious even at the level of basic sciences. When I heard about Theranos, I checked the units on my last test from an established lab. Glucose and cholesterol -- which can be done with finger pricks -- measure in mg/dl. A standard blood test like a total thyroid test measures in ng/dl so that's one million times higher resolution. Free thyroid is in picograms/dl !!

Google security allows you to use a titan key, but then still ignores it if you use an android phone, not the best security, since phones can get sim jacked. (common way to get your ecoins hacked, take over your phone.)

Defeats the purpose of a titan key and 2fa enabled.

There is no option to turn off android auth confirmation popups, so you have to de-activate all signed in google phones, and remove google account on your cell for more security and stop trolls from spamming you, if your phone number is public. People been asking google for years to fix this major fubar.

Google auth is designed by idiots, to be as easy as possible, but bad actors can abuse.

In Canada we have these refillable prepaid VISA cards https://www.koho.ca/. Not a plug, but it's honestly solved money management for us.

Every week, my wife and I load some amount into the 'joint' card, and a smaller onto the personal cards. The joint card is for necessities, the personal cards are for fun. It's much more convenient than the cash envelopes we were doing before.

Credit cards don't work for us because it's too easy to cheat, and you only have to feel guilty when you square up the tracking. With the prepaid cards, you get a much harsher signal when you're over budget.
I’m not claiming I can do so, and asking me to do so is a cop-out — I’m simply reasoning about whether it’s possible to qualify a language at all — to do better than “they’re all the best” — because we know how to define something downright awful.

But yes, at the top of the optimization spectrum you will always see trade offs between things as they can’t push every boundary simultaneously. But it’s difficult to imagine every language has reached that point. Or that no two languages in the world fall under similar goals/constraints, that evolve to the same targets, that one would be better than another at the same goals.

How to find such a pairing, or define it, is a different issue. But identifying a terrible language should be possible, and thus I would expect we can do better than “everyone’s a winner”.

And yes, I can read the literature (give me a minute, gotta ship the book, and probably any existing counterarguments first…), or you could just tell me where my reasoning has failed, since I’ve laid it bare (I’m assuming you’ve read the existing literature, to determine that the answer I seek lies there… you’re not the kind of guy to send me on a wild-goose chase, are you?)

Not literally balloons, but guided drones generally. They would make the US "more invadable" by being an invasion. Think about it being just a constant for years, and disrupting American society kind of like covid. People would have to change their lives, consider everything in relationship to defense, even if there were few casualties. It would be demoralizing if most of the existing weaponry was no use.

I haven't gone out of my way to familiarize myself with the perennial rocket launches at Israel, but that's the general sort of thing I'm picturing. Harassment that would demonstrate people are never safe, while not rising to the level where the international community would accept massive retaliation.

I had this week to transfer a small account of 2.5GB between 2 google workspace accounts. All paid accounts.
It took 3 days to transfer the 2.5GB account with Google's data migration process. Downloading and uploading the emails with Thunderbird would have taken maybe 3 hours at most.
Okay, since this felt like common knowledge and apparently is also an unpopular opinion: emojis can and often do improve accessibility of documentation. Like any other symbolic reference in text, their use can be defined in a key and they can be used to concisely document a support matrix, or signal complexity levels of deeper links, or… even just thematically identify content in a friendly and inviting way.
I've subscribed to Google One for a few years. (When I say "pay", I'm using credit from answering surveys from Google a few times a week). It's only a couple of dollars a month, it gives you more online cloud storage, but it also gives you a chat and call service to Google. I have used it a couple of times - once to help me push LG to release updates on a phone (they kept saying it was Google's responsibility), another to one get my wife properly added to be able to use the Home smart speaker. Both times chat was followed up a call to a real person (that was understandable, and willing to chase up and respond to the issue). I feel if I had an account issue it would similarly work out.
People of course jump immediately to walking android.

But I think the walking dog robot/quadruped or something similar could be really useful. It can carry things, function as a power bank, "fetch" things (depending on navigation) at a nearby store or restaurant for you, maybe function as security or monitor on dangerous streets. Fetch help if you're injured or disabled. Help lift things. Hell, maybe even carry you on big ones.

You don't need to solve as many balance issues, lower expectations of intelligence/capability, etc.
Why would they spend time and effort on this, when there's a far simpler way to get the certification with existing non-free blobs?
Why the heck is running a your own email server so complex?! I run my own email servers, as does my company, and they can be an absolute pain at times. Once you've got everything settled, they're okay, but still, they're unnecessarily fiddly things to get working.

It should be easier, much much easier. Then we can all stop relying on external providers for substandard email services.
If you swap out "regulations" with "financial instruments" your first comment makes a lot more sense.
> It was a workaround (unreliable at that, IIRC) for compilers getting more aggressive in ignoring the intentions of C, including the early standards.

But volatile was in C89? So how can it be a response to compilers "ignoring the intentions of C" in the early standards?

If anything, an example in the C89 standard makes it very explicit that an implementation may do exactly what gpderetta said (emphasis added):

> An implementation might define a one-to-one correspondence between abstract and actual semantics: at every sequence point, the values of the actual objects would agree with those specified by the abstract semantics. The keyword volatile would then be redundant.

> Alternatively, an implementation might perform various optimizations within each translation unit, such that the actual semantics would agree with the abstract semantics only when making function calls across translation unit boundaries. In such an implementation, at the time of each function entry and function return where the calling function and the called function are in different translation units, the values of all externally linked objects and of all objects accessible via pointers therein would agree with the abstract semantics. Furthermore, at the time of each such function entry the values of the parameters of the called function and of all objects accessible via pointers therein would agree with the abstract semantics. In this type of implementation, objects referred to by interrupt service routines activated by the signal function would require explicit specification of volatile storage, as well as other implementation-defined restrictions.

I must confess I actually enjoyed it as a kid, along with the show. I had low standards and a short attention span. I would fast forward through slow parts of movies all the time (like that "Cheer Up Charlie" song in Willy Wonka... go to the factory already). The Power Rangers movie served as a long toy commercial, so the bland characters worked fine for me, I just wanted to see them fight and then go play with the action figures. So I disagree with the critique that "the movie will do what it can to deaden their imaginations"; that's giving the children like me too much credit! They even sold that purple ooze to compete with Nickelodeon's Gak Splat and the TMNT green ooze. (Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles -- a similar franchise for which the show and movies served only as fodder to encourage me to smash my action figures together.)

Do you need a Pi specifically? A used usff sized box with a 4th or 6th gen Intel CPU can be found for under $100 if you poke around ebay.

It'll be a much faster CPU, much faster storage, more RAM, and only uses about 5-10W of power.

I don't see the point of a Pi unless you need all the GPIO pins.
If you look at Google's messaging products timeline, it's an embarrassing mess. If you viewed it in reverse-chronological order, it actually looks like progress.

May the original Gchat (with open APIs) rest in peace.
The point of locking the CPU to a specific vendor is to reduce the trusted user base in the cloud.

Currently you have to trust AMD, the Vendor, and the data center with your data.

The goal of verification of the firmware at such a low level is to eliminate tampering by the data center.

Having another feature like SEV (encrypted memory) combined with this lets you create a secure remote box that is fully encrypted at a very early stage in the boot process.

This reduces the chance of a malicious entity at a data center from tamping with the firmware to exfiltrate your keys.

Other people here are just ignorant and think it's being done purely for profit with no benefit to the end user.
