We've now got a walkthrough up for getting Microwatt going on an OrangeCrab ECP5 board. https://codeconstruct.com.au/docs/microwatt-orangecrab/
Garbage collection is an example (probably the most critical current example) where there is a concrete trade-off between the two.
1. Find a subject that is really interesting to you, otherwise it's unlikely to work and also absolutely not worth it.

2. Find equally motivated people to study it with you.

3. Remove all distractions.

4. Preferably get out of the house, although with the pandemic
this may be less advisable today.

5. Get into a routine so that everything becomes automatic and you don't even make the conscious choice of studying everyday

That's what worked for me when I was a freshman.
I would basically: wake up=>coffee/small breakfast=>shower=>code/study until I'm ready to fall asleep on my chair, 7 days a week, and I wasn't even forcing myself, after 2 weeks or something it was basically automatic, and I was enjoying myself.
So why are VCs not lining up to create a dozen new dating sites and take all of Match Group's buyout money?

1) Make a non-ruined dating product.

2) Get users. Should be easy because the incumbents are intentionally ruined and turnover is high.

3) Profit. (Match Group buyout)

Worst case they run out of money and you have a successful dating product which continues to siphon their users because it's the non-ruined one.

Not sure why it's so hard to make money from something like that. Sell flowers and chocolate and movie tickets to a captive audience. Do promotions for entertainment venues. Be Groupon for dating stuff.

I am a greybeard who has not abandoned learning new things.

Modern features in C++ are not there to pad resumes. Each is carefully selected from a much larger number of proposals as demonstrating it enables writing cleaner, clearer, more reliable, faster code. If you choose not to use any of them, you are perforce choosing to write less clean, less clear, less reliable, slower code.
I'm trying to use Google One now to fix an issue and it's been a struggle. Hopefully they'll eventually work it out but frankly without G1 I would probably just throw my Nest cameras out and dispute all future nest charges. Google really need to work on customer service if they're going to offer services that need it.
Python is not even able to do the basic Smalltalk part, so it doesn't matter what StrongTalk brings into the picture.
It will also effectively destroy performance for general purpose computing. Aside from secure enclaves and certain specific computing usages, it doesn't seem to offer much for day-to-day security. However I do think it can be useful for some kernel/systemland operations if the additional circuitry does not have too much overhead.

As someone who used to have a similar level of "humility", i always felt uncomfortable doing self-promotion. You will also notice that others are much more serious about self-promotion. To the level where there is not much substance when you investigate. I have resigned to the view that, this is the society we live in. Things may always not be as they seem, one has to look closer and recognize the diamonds in the rough.

You are right but then is interesting to compare languages using Latin script. I find interesting that the first runner is Lithuanian, between non-Latin script languages, and the second is Swedish, with English coming third with quite a difference.

Lithuanian has quite a heavy use of diacritic signs, but it seems to pack more information than the others. And other languages with similar diacritic signs are not close to it.

Although the sensitivity to different fonts and details is real, we can draw some interesting conclusions from this Sunday exercise.

He quite clearly states in the article he would ‘leave out classes’ (i.e. implementation inheritance). You didn’t quote the clearest statement in the article, just preceding your excerpt!?

Again on interfaces, sometimes less is more. Many people prefer the inverted interfaces of go, declared at point of use. It’s fine to prefer the opposite, but these are deliberate choices, not mistakes or failures.

Re inheritance simplifying a design, it does the opposite in my experience, unless by simplify you mean hide program flow and state.

Isn't it all about experience - most of those companies were starting from scratch in newish industries where no one had experience. But most companies are doing something where there are other companies doing similar things. For example most successful bio/chem/fin tech companies were formed by people with experience in other companies who understand the tech and market - some younger and many older.

Nowadays if you were looking to fund someones idea for a social media company you might prefer someone who had worked in a senior position in another - perhaps 29 or older rather than 19.
> I think many of the good/honest/intellectually curious people inside crypto are ghosting through HN these days with that feeling

If there were any such people, we would have any number of good articles and materials on crypto explaining how crypto is good actually, and that also:

- understand how the world works

- don't rely on circular references

- actually show the need for a blockchain in the proposed solutions

However, there are none.

> So it's mostly become void of any interesting discussions on the topic.

Of course it's void. And it's due to the countless crypto shills who invariably run away from this discussions with a combination of:

- there are honest people in crypto space

- there are good projects in crypto space, not just scams

- just follow crypto twitter/discord, do your research
I will add my anecdotal perspective as a rheumatologist at a tertiary care centre to your second last reference. I have a lot of respect for the work my NP/PA colleagues do, particularly on the ward. Yet I see a notable difference in the quality of referrals from MDs vs. most NPs/PAs whether it be from clinic, ER, or ward. With some exception it's often please see for [subjective complaint], a + random test that was checked, and query [disease that goes with that antibody] or a misunderstanding of what I see in my discipline. Not to say that MDs have it perfect but I'm not sure if it's the shorter training, more algorithmic focus, less confidence in their physical exam that drives this. As a healthy 20 year old I'd have said an NP/PA is great for primary care but I just don't see it as a solution as people age and get more medically complicated.

Even when you have paid Google products that come with support, it is really awful. They once asked me to submit a business case justifying how answering my support question benefited Google. Just a simple clarification of something in their documentation. I was already under pressure to migrate to Office360, I stopped fighting after that.

My employer is a huge AWS user and Google is constantly chasing us with a treasure chest of free credit to migrate over, their prices are significantly cheaper, but everyone agrees it’s worth the premium to stay with AWS simply because they answer the phone.

(If you have never used AWS’s enterprise support, those guys are worth every penny.)

It did great on the budget allocated to it. Bets like that are how he became filthy rich.

Yoga Sutras do not insist on yoga mats. Yoga mats are not biodegradable.

Lululemon revenue was 4.4 Billion. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lululemon_Athletica

https://www.wellnesscreatives.com/yoga-industry-trends/ : [..] The yoga industry is worth over $88bn worldwide and expected to reach $215bn by 2025. That’s a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 11.7%! And that’s just studios, once you account for retreats, clothing, mats, blocks, and other accessories, the global yoga market is worth well over $130bn.[..]
Added. Thanks!

I absolutely can't stand the mouthfeel for "sugar" sodas, both the real cane sugar and HFCS variants. It's disgusting. All these newer "zero" versions have pretty much nailed the taste without the gross mouthfeel.
> I don't think the OP meant iterating on performance problems specifically, just generally iterating on code as one does when they write it. Also, every programmer at some point iterates about performance problems, not matter their experience, or language (or implementation), or runtime that's being used.

Exactly, on both accounts, thanks.

It strikes me as odd that GP would describe "iterating on performance" as "underperforming", unless GP is in a very specific domain where the performance requirements are always known in advance and where they never change. Getting the last drop of performance from code is a trade-off. It impacts the readability and maintainability of code. To get the last drop, it can depend on the shape of your expected input data, and it requires looking at the produced assembly and performance profiling results to find bottlenecks and act on them. This alone implies iteration. If you're telling me that your engineers know their compiler so well that they can tell in advance what assembly code will be generated when changing seemingly unrelated parts of the code, eg they know the inlining limits of their compiler, I call BS.

Iterating on performance takes time to develop and maintain, which is why it should be done just enough to meet the requirements, in particular in the hot loop and to reduce bottlenecks. If your developers are optimizing all the code they write to the ASM instruction, they are probably underperforming (unless specific domain where so little code is written or the target is so small that the benefit is worth the cost). Understanding that trade-off is part of seniority (aka juniors will often both "prematurely pessimize" by writing inefficient code without increasing maintenability or in the hot loop and "prematurely optimize" by avoiding allocation at all costs in CLI argument parsing).

First Mali, now this. It’s the sign of a robust cultural hegemony when they copy even your worst ideas, I guess. Like McDonald’s, 70+-year copyright terms, or the violent descent from democracy into chaos.
The number of planets with humans on them has remained steady though.
It would be interesting if this becomes a monthly hackernews post like the monthly hiring, where people with problems with their Google or Facebook or "insert Tech Giant here" account with intentionally no human customer support, would post their account problems and whatnot.

It would never happen of course, but it would be interesting.

Nope, this is the theory but in Android you will not be allowed to use anything else because even with IMAP you will need to go through oauth some times.

Also, Google is regularly messing with the IMAP support. Like blocking their own server IPs as suspicious...
I have “frenemies” who are semi popular. I want to keep alerts on their LinkedIn and Twitter. Similarly startups I want to know if they’ve stagnated or gotten funding. I would like to get earnings calls emails for some companies I like. I want to get a ping if the forex rate changes for some combos, or if gold price drops by some percent. I and family have many bank accounts and it’s a real thing that you need to keep an eye on the finances of your banks here (one goes down every few years). I will like to have news alerts on all the small towns my family is in so I know if something big happened anywhere.

I think it’s definitely a mindset to think of everything you do or read every day and think if you can offload it to someone or something else. Once you switch that knob on you notice so much every day.

Because that worked so well in the past. There is no "we" - they wouldn't have become a billion dollar company if they hadn't found ways to make people still use them despite those issues.

But that doesn't mean they aren't issues.
> on average, without changing team often, I changed manager about 1.2 times per year

I had a three year period where that kept happening. I was already doing the job of my former boss, but their boss kept switching out and the new guy didn't know who I was and I had to prove my worth all over to them. Happened three times during that time period.

After pushing for two review cycles to get a promotion and being told "not yet, maybe next time", I finally left.

I won't waste my time on that again. If my manager gets swapped out on me there's a decent chance I'll start looking to leave too, because as you say, the ladder was broken above me.

If I have to prove myself to someone all over again, I might as well switch jobs an get a raise while I'm at it.
Still, you will have to associate all your phone with this account to use a single app. Like search and all.

Last time I had to deal with Google's account recovery (10 years ago when my mom fell for a phishing scam) there was an option to pay a few dollars to get to talk to a real human in a customer service / operations department. Does that still exist?

And I thought that Burkina Faso doesn't deserve my attention.

But then I realized how myopic and sad I was.

So, here it is.

Burkina Faso is a land-locked country in West Africa, above Ghana, a bit West of Nigeria. [0]

As big as Nevada or Colorado (105,900 sq. miles), with 20M people. Or, for us using the metric system, 275,000 sq. km.

Poor as hell. Recent history full of coup d'é·tat, killings, etc.

Internet disruption can mean a lot of nasty things. It includes mobile as well:

> Analysis of Google Transparency metrics corroborates user reports of a mobile internet blackout

We take the internet, and our freedoms, mostly for granted. It's a good thing to remind ourselves that they are not.

I hope that people in Burkina Faso will be ok.

I know nothing about geopolitics in Africa, but I'd also wish that a few large companies (e.g. Tesla) would source their minerals from countries that can demonstrate political stability and avoid violence.

More pollution from tires due to the added weight, less from brake disks and plates due to regenerative braking. Not sure if this has a measurable impact compared to the reduced CO2 emissions.
I'm all for what you say, but Dark Reader is so useful I'm willing to make an exception. Plus it's open source.

I've set up my Manjaro system so that with one shortcut (and automated at sundown) I can change everything to dark mode. And since Dark Reader has the option to follow the system dark mode, everything works wonderfully.
Performance in detriment of everything else is what brought us here in first place.
No, I think it's a huge risk to be stuck somewhere these days without any means of contacting your family or getting emergency money sent to you. Especially if you're in a place that's politically unstable or where helping strangers isn't the norm.

One of these days someone will not be able to get their heart medications or a flight home because of this damn Gmail policy.

Interesting take. It sounds like you really dislike Google. It also sounds like your manager had something to do with it. Perhaps it was a lack of promotion?
