>> Selecting your own definition for a word

Is that accurate? I said:

>> To complicate something is to combine and intertwine it with other concerns. To fold them together is to complicate them.

The dictionary defines complicate as:

>> to make complex, intricate, involved, or difficult

With etymology:

>> complicat-
folded
together
complicate
combine,
entangle.
intertwine

>> instead of actually giving a shit about the perspectives of those who disagree with you

Now i resent that because i took the time to try and steelman your bad argument.

>> they couldn't be without copy/pasting their implementation for every single array type you wanted to implement them for

Not true, as i said there’s always been options for this:

>> if we need them to be generic over argument types - in the absolute worst case (so not using go generate to help us here or an interface…

Behind the scenes in the compiler, the syntactic sugar of generics are ultimately performing what you would do with “go generate“.

I don’t follow, why aren’t we allowed to create a library for code reuse like https://github.com/logic-building/functional-go/blob/master/... has done for example?
>[dead] does not mean mods killed it. It could be mods, could be software, could be user flags. Mods is the least common reason.

This. The idea that fucking up everyone's rhythm twice per year isn't as bad as not doing it, is ridiculous.
Unless, for one instance possibility, among others, unless that « shitty » part is actual uncovered crucial behavior your team didn’t think of, that might present itself again, and even reveal a profitable new perspective on the market you’re trying to build on.

Yes but if the number of people on the bus dropped to zero do you think their employers would keep running the route?
I accidentally attended way too many of these ; in HK 2017, every business gathering turned out to be a reason to promote crypto by a bunch of crypto bros who I all got to recognise and some that I got to know. I was doing banking systems and obviously all the meet-ups, trade fairs, conferences and investor meetings were targeted by the blockchain crowd as they needed to be hooked up to banking to use crypto currencies. And to give credibility. They are doing the same now but virtually (and I am not longer in HK). Yes these people do think you have mental issues for not going full in and indeed they have little ‘good’ reasons to tell besides get rich quick and oppressive governments; the rest is just mumbling about potential and the decentralised future etc. Most don’t understand what they want to explain; they are there for making money. Now it is all nft and really confuses me; I had a respectable investor contact ask me even yesterday; “Got any nft business going that makes any kind of profit? I have a 500m fund for investing in those in 2022.” When I ask what kind of business examples or portfolio, it call of falls flat short of the obvious; nft marketplaces. But in 2017 it being currency trading or ‘anonymous’ payments, in 2022 it being nft auctions/marketplaces (more or less the same as trading); most people cannot come up with anything when pushed. And these guys are investing 500m$ in 2022 in that, whatever it is.

Browsing around, outside all types of loans, I cannot find much goods either ; it all seems bullshit or one of the above. But I am not in discord groups and whatnot to chat about it.

The Path Out of Ukraine Is Reversing the Path In
Way too much specific knowledge about code/processes doesn't translate well across firms. If you view being indispensable as a formula for job security, rather than doing that for code/processes, do it for business knowledge. You'll still be considered very valuable, you'll get a lot more exposure/recognition to/from the decision makers, your deep knowledge will translate across firms and you'll be considered more valuable the older you get which, instead of having to deal with ageism, will open up more avenues like switching to being an expert consultant while having the freedom to be choosy about the kind of projects you do.

Of course, this hinges on the requirement that you actually care/like knowing about the business side of things and are willing to spend the time/effort towards learning (which isn't super common among techies). Sometimes, the opportunity simply isn't there or not encouraged.
> I wonder where the preference for DST then comes from?

For me, I simply want more daylight in the evening.

I don't give a shit about waking up with the sun. I'm going to sleep until 10 or 11 AM on the weekends anyways, so I want the daylight to be shifted later so I have more daylight to do things.

Somewhere else in this thread, someone put forth the idea of a fixed dawn at 7 AM. I'd rather have a fixed dusk at 9 PM. That would mean that the sun might not rise until after noon during the shortest days of the year, but that's fine by me. Obviously, such a system is not feasible (We'd have to change our clocks every day!), but if it was, it'd be my preference.

If you need a total message order and many-to-all messaging it is indeed hard to do better than the Disruptor, but that's kind of a very specialized need. If you can relax the message ordering for example, multiple 1-to-all queues can be significantly more efficient.

True, but if you compare to AWS, the S3 "First 10 TB / Month" tier is $0.09 per GB [1], and the Cloudfront "First 10TB" north America tier is $0.085 per GB and more for other regions [2] - or if you look at KeyCDN [3] for America that's $0.04 per GB, and again more for other regions.

So HillRat's $0.05/GB figure isn't the most expensive out there :)

and this job you describe is the CEO (or CTO, or whatever CxO level people).

It is indeed indispensable - a firm shows a poor signal if they have to switch CEOs, or one gets fired, or resigns without a good replacement.

The problem is that there's usually only 1 CEO to a firm, and not everybody can get to that level.
Unpopular opinion: I like DST switching just the way it is. I hate it when I finish work and it's already dark or it's still dark at like 7AM. It works well with the circadian rythm and all. I don't think the simplicity of permanent DST is worth it. If I had my way every month the time would shift to where 6 AM is the time the sun rises in that time zone. Our bodies and subconscious is tuned to sunlight in many ways.
Many banks, and perhaps other organisations, check for indispensability by means of a mandatory vacation policy. If one is indispensable then it should become apparent when they are forced not to work, log-in or reply to emails for this short period. This policy might also pick up other issues such as some types of fraud that might require constant attention (e.g. hiding evidence as it appears).
Mandatory reminder that color schemes may be non-accessible for a significant part of the population, especially the male population.

Almost all color vision deficient people fall into the "deutan" and "protan" category, and there are color schemes that are designed to be compatible with them.

It could be good to have a reminder in the README on that topic.

It is kind of weird to me that people are coming out of the woodwork arguing about stability and all sorts of stuff as if a single time setting is somehow worse than changing it twice a year.

Winter in the northeastern U.S. is damn depressing because the sun sets at basically 3:30-4:30pm. If you sleep in on a weekend, you get max 4-5 hours of sunlight (feels like less because the sun is so low and thus long twilights). Kids coming home from school have zero after school time with sunlight.

> what some folks actually want is a fixed dawn at 7AM.

Heh...I'd rather have a fixed dusk at 9 PM. Yes, I recognize that this would mean that the sun wouldn't come up until noon on the Winter Solstice. I'm fine with that.
I would say that the second coin is unfair but it's not "unbiased" in the statistics sense. It has an expected mean and taking the sample mean of flips will converge to it.

There’s a case in Geelong Australia where a stabbing was caught on grainy cctv, people knew who the perpetrator was, but there was no hard evidence.
The undercover police set up a fake gang that recruited the suspect, and performed fake burglaries on prepared targets as part of their attempt to get him to confess, including the tv show staple of the undercover police officer cell mate, none of which worked he never confessed to the crime to his fellow ‘gang members’

This is the case:

It was said to be the states most expensive unsuccessful undercover operation, after the operation was shut down a million dollar reward was offered. I believe it was evidence that was then provided that lead to a conviction
> The fact that short days and darkness cause so many people problems in the winter tells me that amount of sunlight really matters to us.

For the greatest part of our history we've spent our time outside, not sitting in artificial caves with artificial lights, hiding from the sun. If you want something that tells you why the sun is so important, take this instead.

If that doesn't work for you, remember that having enough exposure to the sun is vital for your body to function properly, both mentally and physically. We'd not be producing "Vitamin D" by being exposed for some time, if the sun wasn't an important factor in our existence.

Ask HN: Full-text browser history search forever?
My biggest force-multiplier is my fish shell history, going on 7 years of command line history.

I want to do the same thing for my web browser. At first I looked at Memex but they disabled browser history search. You have to save or annotate an article first before it becomes searchable. My brain, naturally, does not know ahead of time what could be useful in the future.

Is there any product out there that creates a fully searchable full-text history forever with little fuss?

I'm using Firefox on Linux but could switch to another browser (but not OS) if needed.

As much as GSheets is great software in theory, "just works" is something I'd never use to describe it. Google is the absolute worst when it comes to keeping stuff working outside of Gmail, Search and obviously Ads. They will silently drop functionality and randomly break things without any recourse.

Just a week or so ago, the IMPORTHTML/XML and related functions in GSheets just...stopped working. There are Reddit and Google Helpdesk threads about it so it's clearly a global issue. As far as I know, no fix has landed yet.

I had to spend a weekend writing a bunch of scripts to reimplement importing functionality so an international competition hosting more than 600 people from 28 countries wouldn't collapse on the spot. Everyone on the team, including me, was initially glad we were using GSheets as it made our work much easier - until it suddenly made it much, much harder.
> Arab Spring was street protests. results varied widely from Tunisia to Egypt to Syria, but in all cases protests led to massive change.

With Tunisia going back to authoritarianism, Libya/Yemen at war, Egypt already back to military control and Syria holding the status quo.... I'm not sure what massive change you are talking about.
Thanks for your feedback.

This area is where TypeScript would play nicely. The library implements types that fully utilize generics to define and impose restrictions for color keys, as well as ensuring type consistency across the color system. * This is the next item in my list to add to the documentation. *

So for example, you can easily implement a color system similar to Material Design 3 that only accepts these color keys: 0 | 10 | 20 | 30 ... 90 | 95 | 98 | 100. But as this is not every color system's approach, the library adopts the least restrictive default, so you can say it's less opinionated.

But for pure JS projects, custom color mapping can do the job if your design system prescribes discrete color keys for palette colors.

Who does Linus marginalise? I can accept "someone" as an answer but I think that word has a darker connotation which is deeply unfair to ascribe to Linus given that he is rude and obnoxious sometimes but I don't think he's ever rude and obnoxious about (say) Chinese people or amputees.
Eh, I will respectfully disagree on a couple of points.

Silently patching `.so` code actually obscures whether or not you have the relevant security fix to the relevant library. `libfoo.0 -> libfoo.0.1 -> libfoo -> 0.1.3` would be confusing enough even if vendors didn't routinely change the code out from underneath without moving the "version". If you're linking a `libfoo.a`, not only does the hash of that file change when it gets updated (or was failed to be updated), but the hash of your resulting binary that you choose to run either did or did not change. You don't need NixOS for that. No `LD_PRELOAD` crap can get in front of you because someone grabbed control of environment variables. There's like a zillion less things to go wrong from a security perspective. And even then, the security that you get from running a binary you built against someone who is already on your machine, and already has enough permissions to run it? You're in murky territory already. Keep them out of your box unless you're a cloud provider or something.

I'm no FS expert and I'm prepared to believe that symlinks might create problems for filesystem engineers, but you also sort of need them if you want atomic FS operations on POSIX. Something being a standard isn't a blank check to be bad obviously, but it's a lot easier to change whether or not `glibc` breaks on purpose when statically linked than to change a 30-year-old standard.

Dynamic linking is a nightmare for a number of reasons: it makes it murky and difficult to know what code is running, it makes effective text segments depend on environment variables, it further privileges superuser, it destroys the portability/backwards-compatibility that Linus has fought so hard to preserve in the kernel, it miseducates people about how virtual memory works by leading them to assume that it's some kind of performance win (it's not), it complicates the whole system by a ridiculous amount, it requires that you `readelf -d thing` to even know what crazy `rpath` shit is going on.

Symlinks have problems, I've been burned by them. But you can use them or not as you like, and the complexity is manageable. You show me a serious hacker, I'll show you someone who can get symlinks substantially right.

You show me someone who really, really deeply understands what the hell is going on with dynamic linking? I'll show you Ulrich Drepper and his weird agenda around suppressing LLVM.

A side anecdote

I never broke $100K but I was close last corp I worked at.

I was working a side job that became my main thing. They agreed to pay my base bills per month eg. $3K/mo and we would try to get this company off the ground. I'm a 10% partner at least but it's 10% of $0. Anyway so far we have not gotten traction so it's interesting I'm developing another version of our app.

But I came out of my job at 59% loss in pay and in debt from crypto tanking... So I'm concerned there but I'm single. Could just get a job (I'm sad I turned down Amazon Prime Air recruiter even though I probably would not have been qualified).

But I wanted to say the break from a 9-5 that I had been doing for years has been great. I've been working projects more/getting blogs/videos out. I've been enjoying it other than the debt that's building up since I don't make more to pay it down. Eventually something will have to happen. I'm a co-inventor though that's cool I guess.

My end goal is to FIRE but I'm far from it right eg. ~-$50K net worth (mostly student loans). I will say my negative worth is not entirely me I have donated $40K+ to my own blood families (in a third world country) so far and donate to food shelters and what not not a virtue signal I'm just stupid.
There is no way Malthus could have predicted this.

Probably a good part of these people is just being selfish.

They completely ignore the increased suicide rates and other effects the switching of the clock has. It even affects the cows of farmers. It has negative side effects for millions of people, but NOOOOOO, those poor people who need to get up earlier, they'll be having a much harder time!
When big aerodynamic changes like this occur, sometimes one team figures out an advantage that the others didn't, setting everyone else hopelessly behind for at least half a season [1]. Let's hope it can be as exciting as this guy predicts.

I agree to a certain point but I think this view is going to be politically incorrect on HN.

Personally I hate MBTI, not the test itself but the industry using it as the "sole" tools and main tools to access candidate. i.e If you dont fit type X in the test they are not good for the job. For some strange reason it is heavily used in luxury goods industry.

I still maintain that good hiring is 90% gut feeling.
If I view people as animals, I just wish them stay the same for generations, so my kids can visit them, their exotic cultures. Don't have my stupid modern life style, stay pure, stay different. I feel that's how people see this world. In many tourists places, people have to pretend to be the same as old time, wear exotic clothes, do something stupid shit in village for tourists to see. That's how this world is, becoming a big zoo.
100k being "low paying" - certified HN moment.

That's almost peak career level anywhere outside the US.
The big problem with that is you don't know if someone has done the time adjustment. Eg you know there's a handyman who does this twice a year, perhaps he's done it before the 2am official cutover time because his shift ended earlier? Or he'll do it the next morning?

Similarly it's not obvious whether your phone keeps an eye on this for you, if you're not a techie type. And if you are, how do you know what your elapsed time stopwatch does under the hood?

One of my cars gets time from the radio, the other one doesn't, so around this time of year they show different times.
This moves noon away from the middle of the day, and midnight from the middle of the night.
ConsenSys Raises $450M Series D Funding ($7B valuation)
It is sad that one of the most prestigious Linux distributions, and the one I have been using daily for a decade, is apparently being run over by contemporary politics which are incredibly irrelevant to the nature of the project.
In Denmark (EU) we are currently switching timezones twice a years, which is a huge PITA for people like me with a sensitive circadian cycle.

The EU has opened for the individual countries in the EU to settle on permanent DST or permanent normal time.

In order of preference I choose:

1. permanent normal time

2. permanent summer time

3. switching between normal time and summer time twice a year
