I use Contexts ( https://contexts.co/ ) which works great.

You get per-window switching, with the normal picker modal (so you bring only your desired window to the front, and not every window you cycle through like Cmd-`).

As a bonus, Contexts has an option to only choose from windows on your current "space", which is really important for me.

We make a batch of Alton Brown's mix maybe every other month:

I don't think we have any trouble with consistency.

For baking, my go to recipe site is Smitten Kitchen.

It's not that we're anti-mix, it's that it's easy to stock the staple baking ingredients and then we can make whatever we want.
If you’re watching the news to be informed you’re still ignorant, but now unhappy and indignant about things you don’t understand.
I find "X does Y, why don't you?" As a means to keep vendors from becoming complacent. As customers, we don't know what the tools limits are. Sometimes, vendors will not invest in improving their tools/results without a credible threat. The results from competing vendors is the closest you can get to impartial results that create pressure to perform.

Remember that many NATO countries have been paying more to Russia than to Ukraine for years and still want to continue to pay.

One could say, well the former is profit from energy business and the and the latter is aid, you can't compare those. Doesn't matter. Putin can go to war only because Russia has made profits from exporting energy. And still energy exports are excluded from sanctions.

I would be glad if what is happening were enough to stop Putin. But I am far from convinced that it is enough.
That article continues the pattern of your earlier comment, which falsely claimed NATO membership was promised to Ukraine. I also have zero ability to confirm the source, whose domain was created about a month after Crimea was illegally annexed by Putin.
How is oversupply a "crisis" (assuming you're not carrying water for board members)?

Would love to have a level headed conversation about this, assuming someone here can address, what is, in my estimation, a non-issue.
This is exactly how to treat a casino. It's a Dave and Busters with better prizes if you win.
I read and saw a bunch of checkmating suggestions which are already in various degrees of use against Putin. Even Germany is sending weapons now, per the last paragraph.

Kasparov will always identify room for improvement, that's a big part of his natural way of seeing things. But those concerned already took most of those first steps very quickly, in addition to many other steps, and I think it's important to acknowledge that.
It's not the truth. You can absolutely read the news and live a happier life from it. I feel better knowing what's going on outside my little bubble even if it's bad stuff.

It's on the individual to find a happy balance of media consumption for their mental health in the same way it's on the individual not to eat candy every day for lunch.
NATO until this week was full of countries who couldn't bother equipping their armies with basic necessities. German soldiers used broomsticks during one NATO exercise and even those with somewhat competent armies were optimising for "surgical" interventions instead of large conflicts. Threat was more rhetorical than real.

All that went out of the window now.
problem is mime types are also as meaningless. This whole API is worthless as you can tell from the return values!
I refuse to invest any time, energy, or money in MEGA. The reason? The brand has reputation issues. They could've dropped `Mega` from the service's name, but determined researchers would find out it's by the MegaUpload crowd and blow the whistle on that, so there's no recourse from the raids, just tarnished reputation, encrypted files or not.
Where are you getting 21 vs 37%? I was just looking at their usual history table on pg3 https://www.berkshirehathaway.com/2021ar/2021ar.pdf#page=3 where for 2021, they list "29.6" vs "28.7". As a wrapper around Apple and other assets, and no mention of any incredible 2021 feats in the letter mostly waxing rhapsodic about their past, that sounds entirely plausible. (I also don't see any Berkshire year as high as 37% since 1998, 23 years ago.)
Me and my friends signed up back in October, so far none of us has received an invite.
The Perfectionists by Simon Winchester isn't so much a survey of fundamental scientific advancements, but precision engineering goes hand in hand with modern developments in physics, chemistry, microbiology, and medicine. Simply skimming the index of that book, or Starrett's catalogues, can provide some hints about things that might be overlooked in a general history of (modern) science. Scientific ideas come from the famous scientists, but scientific progress relies on experimental apparatus, which require tools. Actual products people can use also require tools to build. Those tools, and where and when they came from, are rarely emphasized in scientific histories.

There's also https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_National_Inventors_Hal...
> Why not? Most people won't spend the time to learn OS/distro building.

I don’t know how good they are and have never used any, but there’s tooling for building the ultimate stripped down kernel, unikernels (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unikernel)

A quick Google gives me https://nanovms.com/, https://github.com/solo-io/unik and https://github.com/rumpkernel/rumprun.

A disadvantage of such a stripped down system is that debugging such a system can be difficult. For example, if there’s only one process, you can’t open a shell to look around on a misbehaving system.
Is radio serving as an adult pacifier? Are newspapers serving as adult pacifiers? Are books serving as adult pacifiers?

They're ways of distributing information and how you use them is entirely up to you. I'm sure some people are. Some aren't. It has very little to do with mobile computers with wireless modems.
I think the context is different. The Motivation Myth needs wins. Play to your strengths.

But when picking a strategic goal, like a startup product, building a moat is advantageous.

I did Mathematics instead of CS before switching to CS. The maths in the latter was so easy in comparison. I should have always done the latter. I would have been where I am much sooner with a lot less heartache. There’s no moat with this degree. Other people find Algebra far easier than I did. It is pointless to go play where you don’t have home advantage.

And also, ultimately, the heuristic is good but heuristics aren’t always correct. That’s why they’re heuristics but not laws. I believe this is a heuristic.
The increased role of computation and machine learning in many scientific fields is a paradigm shift.
This was my best attempt at this:

cd /lib/firmware
( find -name '*.xz' -exec xzcat {} \; ; find -type f -a \! -name '*.xz' -a -exec cat {} \; ) |
rot13 |
grep -aEo '\w+' |
awk '{print length, $0 }' |
sort -nsru |
head -20

I didn't see anything very interesting in the top results.

Edit: The sort -u option hides words of the same length. Removing that option (and the head command) gives more results, but nothing that interesting.
China is the source of a ton of research in the two fields I've worked in (materials science & machine learning)
This is believable to me because I can force the results of a coin toss.

I'm not really sure how, but some tactile awareness of a coin's weight, air pressure, what side is currently facing up, etc. must all factor in.

For context, I am trained as a magician (so there's a degree of mastery of the properties of coins, and fine muscle control), but this is not a magic trick
Bad designers trying to imitate what they thought was the "Apple look". However, if you actually go to any Apple site and look, you'll find that the "gray" thing is largely only for headings and short text snippets (usually at a larger font size to boot). Long-form text (e.g., developer docs) is, and always has been, in a good high-contrast color scheme.

Example:

Brilliant, thank you very much. That's exactly the sort of thing I was looking for.

Follow links, not search engines. Use HN, or link aggregators to find sites interesting to you.

I've founf goodwebsites.org to have some interesting reads - but that is only curated by page quality, not content. Some sites linked there have very innacurate content much like the rest of the internet.

Also, https://1mb.club/ has a list of sites, many of which are interesting.
I was thinking the same thing. It’s not like I’m being asked to direct troops or something.

Instead of watching/reading news for hours. Take 30 min to donate some money and email your representative in Congress on your beliefs. You’ll have done way more to help your cause than watching news and you get your day back.
If everyone is content with a lower temperature, they still end up heating less, and energy is haved. (Also, they are probably transferring much more heat from their own single heated room than from neighbors through walls).
Cool, thanks. Yeah, I'm pretty sure there's something fundamentally incorrect about how I draw, even though it feels fine (but the results are terrible).
still a scam, no matter how much lipstick the web3 pig is covered by.
I am glad this dude is like 20 years older than me, it gives me a safe buffer to decide if I should hop on his train or not. If he still seems healthy in his 70s it will be very interesting.
Would be really interesting to see how well it works for various people.

Eg i feel i have a very.. noisy mind. Maybe some ADHD, but i don't like to hop on diagnosis trains. Point is, unless i am uniquely "in the zone", i often feel my productivity is in bursts between thoughts wandering mostly randomly.

If i had the ability to just transcribe everything i think i suspect it would need a huge filter to actually get useful output.

Likely related, i often have to stop and re-order my thoughts during conversation or writing. I will jump through a sentence to "the point", and then have to back track and actually add the grammar/words necessary to actually convey "the point". It seems my thought process doesn't like to dilly-dally on the communication. It's very binary if you will. I either have the solution/point/etc, or i have a blank space where i'm trying to think of the solution/point/etc. Once i have it, then i have to back track and re-order everything to actually be able to convey the thought.

This thought-ordering issue becomes much more complex if the problem is multi-tiered. Ie A->B->C->Answer. As i jump from point to point to point without clear explanation.

Anyway, i'd be curious if my thinking would pose challenges for some sort of thought transcriber.

A programming language is a tool. And like all tools, the situation is very different depending on if you are writing a personal tool that solves your problems or if you are trying to solve other's problems.

I used to lurk in a programming language design group. I joined it because I wanted to "solve everyone's problem" with a new language because I had some success with solving my own problems with a previous language (which is not for everyone; it's a Forth dialect).

For few year I saw some people theorizing and analyzing with little practical results. It's fascinating how people can know about "analysis paralysis" and still fall for it. Meanwhile, I lost interest in my own attempt and returned to my Forth dialect.

Today it powers a few programs that run 24/7. And it is also my goto scripting language. It's not available on Github/Gitlab/whateve because I'm too lazy to do something that will certainly have zero benefits for me ( however curiously, it is half-documented because writing docs helps with spotting silly decisions sometimes).

It is true that you are never done with that sort of program, there's always something to improve or fine tune. Also, since you are the sole user you cannot rely on a ecosystem and just "import their.stuff".

But I think the great mistake is really to start making a tool, a programming language, with no plans on what to use it for; or worse, expect others to use it. The Internet is indeed littered with born-dead or short-lived languages. They are solutions without a problem to solve.
Not a book, but the History of Science series from Crash Course on youtube is very entertaining.
Actually I was a year-long lurker... I start exactly for this kind of conversation not to "justifying Putin" but to state that actual government, Russian gov. evidently included, are acting against their own people, so instead of taking side of one dictatorship or another it's better observing what happen and determine what can happen tomorrow.

Knowing their enemies does not means being able "to do something, to fight" but at least avoid being part of their gambling against our own interest.

Time ago I intervene with the same line, and got similar level of criticism, when GitHub start to appear what it is today, without at that time GitLab/sr.ht etc stating that the old series of SFnet, Savannah, FreshMet etc being just single entities doing more or less the same thing, just hosting code they are useful and not harmful while converge all toward a central platform that not only aim to be The One but also offer things to tie devs to itself is actually more harmful than good. Again less time ago when GitHub was bought by Microsoft and many cray in tear "I'll go to $someoneElse" and I observe that ditching a proprietary service for another is a nonsense.

Essentially my point is pushing who read my comments to reason "about the big picture" instead of drive by emotions and propaganda/sheep effect of that time. Unfortunately while some agree many seems to reject even the idea.

Oh, about spewing CO₂ and Green New Deal: I totally agree that pollution (so not only CO₂) is really harmful BUT the actual green new deal is green in the dollar-green sense, in the stereotypical colors of chemical poisons spewed by rusty barrels we see on comics/movies etc NOT in the sense of green grass of the spring. And I still observe the same criticism pattern, even when I add that I'm actually invested in a new home, a p.v. system etc and I'm happy of that...
How extremely odd. Wonder why the values haven't converged? Do people inside the country not have access to this information? What's stopping someone from buying 150 rubles for a dollar and then buying $1.40ish for those same 150 rubles?

True but the bystander effect applies to threats to someone else.

When the threat is to you and your family, I think fight or flight is more common.

But yeah if the chain of consent thinks they can launch nukes without suffering retaliation then I could see a bystander effect coming into play.
Different political and economic system in USSR was absolutely not the issue at hand. There are still absolute monarchies like Dubai, we don't shake nukes at each other. The issue was that USSR attempted to realize Marxist ideal of worldwide worker's revolution through KGB creating an appearance of such revolutions through meddling and then Red Army taking over countries. The same tactics are on display in Donbus today.
I have worked on a couple of projects where we had to use an offshore team for QA. The biggest problem was written instruction comprehension: the offshore team simply could not follow instructions written in perfectly coherent english in an email. The only way we made progress was to set up a call where we walked the offshore team through the steps in the email - as in literally telling them to "run this command, then run that command". It was hell as we kept getting lambasted for not meeting our deliverables because the offshore team couldn't follow simple instructions to run a few scripts and record their output.
> Because if they wanted them they would buy them?

Only if they can afford them and can justify the purchase. People want many things that for various reasons they don't acquire. It may be cost (units would have to be sold at a loss to get down to consumer-comfortable pricing), it may be that it's part of a larger system. For me to get a new AMD CPU I'd also need a compatible motherboard and, possibly, different RAM (either for physical compatibility or to get an actual performance improvement, even if my old RAM "works" if it's sufficiently slow it's a bottleneck that makes the purchase not worthwhile to me).
an attacker could use css to cover a login input and button with their own elements.

Without html injection just think about what might be done to disrupt a site. Here on HN you could swap the comments and hide or flag links and make the site unusable. If it were on a page with a delete link or a close account link, you could trick someone into irrecoverable data loss.

Thinking only about key loggers is very narrow thinking.
How come the same channels aren't getting banned in Russia too? What are the downsides?
Was totally unaware of this. The Readme:

> For now it's closer to an alternative with most deviations appearing in the standard library, mostly in the form of deleting much of it.

Yikes. I've found that languages with a small standard library have deep dependency trees for imported packages. I hope this is a stepping stone to a different standard library, rather than an end goal in-and-of itself.
>But war also happens over important things. The USSR really did have a different political and economic system.

Which was a criticism of the book at the time. Moral equivalence between the US and USSR owas common on the left. If you weren't on the left, the book looked like yet another helping of the same thing, except this one aimed at children.
Really? It makes total sense that aging is related to cell replication mechanisms breaking down and reducing caloric input slows replication down.
Odd to see Inuit pluralized with a trailing s. FWIW, they are referred to as "the Inuit" in Canada.

EDIT: I see from the document gwern posted that "Inuits" does not appear in it, only in the HN title.
thing is, I've begun to consider old age as a graceful easing out of life, as if without old age ceasing to be alive can only be violent affair (violent like an explosion or a high-speed crash)

I see many side projects that don't charge their users and was wondering why that is.
I’m afraid the premise stated in the summary is bullshit, which discouraged me from reading the article itself. It is very exciting that the cost of renewables has been falling.

The bogus explanation:

> renewable energy technologies follow learning curves [erroneous description elided]. The price of electricity from fossil fuel sources however does not follow learning curves

Learning curves can have different shapes (the steeper the better) so I cut that bill out.

It’s true that manufacturing and installing solar panels and wind turbines has followed a relatively steep learning curve as volume has increased but it’s foolish to claim that drilling, transporting, and burning fossil fuels do not.

Fossil fuels are at a flatter point on the curve, true, due to maturity but in a commodity market there is a lot of competitive development pressure. And very high volume.

What doesn’t move down the curve as fast is power plants themselves because they are not built identically in high volume.

You could think of the statement as being about knowing the actual bias as a function of only being able to look at the previous rolls. In other words, it is “contingent” on the specific roulette wheel being observed, not “contingent” on which exact rolls were seen recently, per se. But language and thinking on these subjects has evolved since 1969, so the way to frame it to a layman would obviously evolve as well. It’s been over 50 years, after all! Trying to understand the statement in the context of 1969 makes the framing much more reasonable.

Edit: I can also see how this framing might have been important to funding ongoing research, ie, perhaps you are right that there was some degree of unethical framing here.
> You seem to have the concept in your mind of open windows vs open apps. I've never thought of it like that, and always have the concept of apps in mind.

For me, windows windows tend to be for discrete tasks. E.g., on one space I have a browser for coding stuff, and on another space I'll have a browser for email/chat. So it's important that I can switch to a specific browser window, rather than my viewport being dragged over to another space because that's the last browser I looked at. Same for code editor windows.

macOS' keyboard shortcuts aren't good for this workflow. I understand Mac prefers gesture- or mouse-oriented solutions like Mission Control, but that's a much less ergonomic approach for my needs.
Likely scams FYI
Angry heavily armed NATO troops in Warsaw matter less to Moscow than the potential for NATO troops in Mariupol poised to cut Russia off from the caucauses and the black sea.

It's like the geopolitical equivalent of shouting aggressively at a bear from a mile away vs just being between her and her cubs.

Ukrainian-Russian border is where Russia is at its most vulnerable, hence why the reaction to projected NATO encroachment is so violent.
I don't know. It's not what I was used to before in my previous homes (thermostats in different rooms, specific temperature settings, etc.), but you know what? It keeps me warm and is cheapest heating I've ever had to pay for, by far.
They shut down 2 out of 6 of the plants because of the war: https://www.nucnet.org/news/energoatom-shuts-down-zaporozhye...

I would hope they are watching very closely and could shut the rest before the water reaches them if the dam is breached.

Breaching the dam would cause blackouts in Ukraine between hydro and nuclear it's at least 1/4 of the power there.
We might end up in a world, where all the command line applications are Unix/Linux (and run on Windows via WSL) and the GUI applications are Win32 (and run on Linux via Wine)

This would be playing to their strengths. There is a much nicer command line/shell ecosystem in Linux and a much nicer GUI ecosystem in Windows.
I like free food, money, and objects.
Key quote from the story:

"I don’t think Russia is blind to what is going on and it must indicate to them that the West does not really have the stomach for a painful fight over Ukraine.”

The West will help Ukraine but not too much. As we've seen with SWIFT, it's still possible that this decision will be overturned.
